Patent ID: 8016061

Claim:
A hybrid fuel cell vehicle with a multi-power source and a multi-drive system, the hybrid fuel cell vehicle comprising: (a) a plurality of primary power sources sharing a single main bus terminal, the primary power sources being connected in parallel to each other; (b) a plurality of drive systems receiving power from the main bus terminal to generate output torque so as to drive vehicle wheels, the drive systems being connected in parallel to each other, the plurality of drive systems comprising a plurality of motors and corresponding inverters, wherein power of the main bus terminal is independently supplied to the motors through the corresponding inverters; and (c) an auxiliary power source sharing the main bus terminal and disposed between the primary power sources and the drive systems to supplement power shortage of the primary power sources, (d) a gear unit for coupling the plurality of motors to increase the output torque from the drive systems by a predetermined gear ratio, wherein the plurality of drive systems have a first motor a second motor and a third motor, and the gear unit comprises: a power coupling device, in which output shafts of the first and third motors are directly connected to an input thereof and a second motor is coupled thereto through a reduction gear unit so as to make all of the first to third motors have the same torque increase rate; and a universal joint for connecting a final output shaft of the power coupling device to a gear differential unit, and the reduction gear unit is formed in combination with a planetary gear, in which a sun gear of the reduction gear unit is connected to an output shaft of the second motor, a ring gear is fixed, and a carrier shaft is connected to the power coupling device such that the output torque of the second motor is increased by a carrier.
