 以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。なお、図面は符号の向きに見るものとし、左右および前後の方向は、運転者から見た方向を意味するものとする。
First Embodiment
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings are viewed in the directions of reference numerals, and the left, right, front and back directions mean directions as viewed from the driver.
 図1は、実施形態の電気回路が適用される鞍乗り型電動車両の一例を示す図である。図1には、低床フロアを有するスクータ型の鞍乗り型電動車両(以下、「電動二輪車」という)の一例を示している。図1に示した電動二輪車1は、移動体の一例である。電動二輪車1の車体フレームFは、フロントフォーク11を操向可能に支承する。フロントフォーク11の下端には前輪WFが軸支される。フロントフォーク11の上部には操向ハンドル16が連結される。 FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of a saddle-ride type electric vehicle to which the electric circuit of the embodiment is applied. FIG. 1 shows an example of a scooter-type saddle-ride type electric vehicle (hereinafter referred to as an “electric motorcycle”) having a low floor. The electric motorcycle 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of a mobile body. A body frame F of the electric motorcycle 1 supports the front fork 11 so as to be steerable. A front wheel WF is pivotally supported at the lower end of the front fork 11. A steering handle 16 is connected to an upper portion of the front fork 11.
 車体フレームFの後部に、スイングアーム17の前端部が揺動可能に支承されている。
 スイングアーム17の後端部には、電動モータ135(電動機)が設けられている。電動モータ135が出力する動力で後輪WRが回転駆動される。
At the rear of the vehicle body frame F, the front end of the swing arm 17 is swingably supported.
An electric motor 135 (electric motor) is provided at the rear end of the swing arm 17. The rear wheel WR is rotationally driven by the power output from the electric motor 135.
 車体フレームFの後部に連結するように、左右一対のシートフレーム15が設けられている。シートフレーム15には、乗車用シート21が支持される。また車体フレームFには、車体フレームFを覆う合成樹脂製の車体カバー22が取付けられる。 A pair of left and right seat frames 15 are provided to be connected to the rear of the vehicle body frame F. The seat frame 15 supports a passenger seat 21. Further, a vehicle body cover 22 made of synthetic resin is attached to the vehicle body frame F so as to cover the vehicle body frame F.
 図1に一部の電装品の配置例を示す。例えば、乗車用シート21の下部であって、左右一対のシートフレーム15の間に、合成樹脂製のバッテリ収納部120Cが設けられている。バッテリ収納部120C内には、バッテリ120が着脱可能に収納される。 FIG. 1 shows an arrangement example of some of the electrical components. For example, a battery storage portion 120C made of synthetic resin is provided between the pair of left and right seat frames 15 at a lower portion of the passenger seat 21. The battery 120 is removably stored in the battery storage portion 120C.
 電動二輪車1は、バッテリ120から電気回路110を介して供給される電力によって、スイングアーム17に設けられた電動モータ135がPDU(Power Driver Unit)130により駆動され、この電動モータ135が駆動されたときの回転動力を、後輪WRに伝達させることによって走行する。例えば、実施形態のバッテリ120は、バッテリ121、122などの複数のバッテリユニットに分割されている。電動二輪車1の走行は、例えば、車体カバー22内側などの適所に配置されたECU(Electric Control Unit)140等によって制御される。充電器150は、外部から供給される電力を変換し、電気回路110を介してバッテリ120を充電する。充電器150は、電動二輪車1から着脱可能であってもよい。 In the electric motorcycle 1, the electric motor 135 provided on the swing arm 17 is driven by the PDU (Power Driver Unit) 130 by the power supplied from the battery 120 through the electric circuit 110, and the electric motor 135 is driven.

For example, the battery 120 of the embodiment is divided into a plurality of battery units such as the batteries 121 and 122. The traveling of the electric motorcycle 1 is controlled by, for example, an ECU (Electric Control Unit) 140 or the like disposed at an appropriate position such as the inside of the vehicle body cover 22. The charger 150 converts power supplied from the outside, and charges the battery 120 via the electric circuit 110. Charger 150 may be removable from electric motorcycle 1.
 図2は、本実施形態の電動二輪車1の走行を制御するための制御系の概略構成を示したブロック図である。 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a control system for controlling the traveling of the electric motorcycle 1 of the present embodiment.
 制御システム10は、電気回路110(閉回路)と、バッテリ120と、PDU130(負荷)と、ECU140(保護部)と、充電器150とを含む。
 電気回路110は、バッテリ120(電源と第1スイッチ)と、コンタクタ115(第1のコンタクタ)と、PDU130とを直列に電気的に接続する。
The control system 10 includes an electric circuit 110 (closed circuit), a battery 120, a PDU 130 (load), an ECU 140 (protection unit), and a charger 150.
The electric circuit 110 electrically connects the battery 120 (power supply and first switch), the contactor 115 (first contactor), and the PDU 130 in series.
 PDU130は、インバータ131と、コンデンサ133(蓄電部)と、電圧検出部134とを備える。インバータ131は、ECU140の制御に基づいて、バッテリ120から供給される直流電力を、例えば3相の交流電力に変換する。コンデンサ133は、電動モータ135の機械的な負荷変動による電圧変動を低減し、電圧を平滑する。電圧検出部134は、PDU130の電源側の電圧を検出する。電動モータ135は、例えば、3相交流モータである。 The PDU 130 includes an inverter 131, a capacitor 133 (power storage unit), and a voltage detection unit 134. The inverter 131 converts the direct current power supplied from the battery 120 into, for example, three-phase alternating current power based on the control of the ECU 140. The capacitor 133 reduces voltage fluctuation due to mechanical load fluctuation of the electric motor 135 and smoothes the voltage. The voltage detection unit 134 detects the voltage on the power supply side of the PDU 130. The electric motor 135 is, for example, a three-phase alternating current motor.
 バッテリ120は、例えば、バッテリ121、122を含む。バッテリ121、122は、複数の蓄電部の一例である。バッテリ120は、リチウムイオンバッテリ、ニッケル水素バッテリ、鉛バッテリなどの単バッテリを直列に複数接続することによって、所定の電圧(例えば、その公称電圧を48Vとする。)を発生させる。 The battery 120 includes, for example, batteries 121 and 122. Batteries 121 and 122 are an example of a plurality of power storage units. The battery 120 generates a predetermined voltage (for example, a nominal voltage of 48 V) by connecting a plurality of single batteries such as a lithium ion battery, a nickel hydrogen battery, and a lead battery in series.
 バッテリ121、122からの電力は、電気回路110を介して、電動モータ135を駆動させるPDU130に供給され、例えば、PDU130のインバータ131によって直流から3相交流に変換されて、電動モータ135に供給される。 The electric power from the batteries 121 and 122 is supplied to the PDU 130 for driving the electric motor 135 through the electric circuit 110, for example, converted from direct current to three-phase alternating current by the inverter 131 of the PDU 130 and supplied to the electric motor 135 Ru.
 例えば、バッテリ121、122の出力電圧は、DC-DCコンバータ(不図示)によって、低電圧(例えば、12V)に降圧され、ECU140などの制御系部品に供給される。例えば、バッテリ121の出力電圧は、バッテリ121の公称電圧の125%である上限電圧から、バッテリ121の公称電圧の90%である下限電圧までを、平常時に変動することを許容されてもよい。例えば、バッテリ122の出力電圧は、バッテリ122の公称電圧の125%である上限電圧から、バッテリ122の公称電圧の90%である下限電圧までを、平常時に変動することを許容されてもよい。 For example, the output voltage of the batteries 121 and 122 is stepped down to a low voltage (for example, 12 V) by a DC-DC converter (not shown) and supplied to control system components such as the ECU 140. For example, the output voltage of the battery 121 may be allowed to fluctuate normally from an upper limit voltage that is 125% of the nominal voltage of the battery 121 to a lower limit voltage that is 90% of the nominal voltage of the battery 121. For example, the output voltage of the battery 122 may be allowed to fluctuate normally from an upper limit voltage that is 125% of the nominal voltage of the battery 122 to a lower limit voltage that is 90% of the nominal voltage of the battery 122.
 また、DC-DCコンバータによって降圧された低電圧の電力の一部は、制御用のバッテリ125(不図示)や、灯火器(不図示)などの一般電装部品に供給される。 In addition, a part of the low-voltage electric power stepped down by the DC-DC converter is supplied to a control battery 125 (not shown) or a general electric component such as a lamp (not shown).
 バッテリ121、122は、例えば、AC100Vの電源に接続した充電器150によって充電することができる。 The batteries 121, 122 can be charged, for example, by a charger 150 connected to an AC 100V power supply.
 実施形態のバッテリ121は、バッテリ本体1211と、BMU(Battery Managing Unit)1212と、スイッチ1213と、高電位側端子121P(第1極端子)と、低電位側端子121N(第2極端子)とを備える。同様に、バッテリ122は、バッテリ本体1221と、BMU1222と、スイッチ1223とを備える。以下の説明において、BMU1212とBMU1222を纏めて単にBMUと呼ぶことが有る。バッテリ121、122の充放電の状況、蓄電量、温度などは、各バッテリのBMUによって監視される。監視されたバッテリ121、122の情報は、ECU140と共有される。BMUは、後述のECU140からの制御指令、又は、上記の監視結果によりスイッチ1213等を制御することにより、バッテリ本体1211等の充放電を制限する。スイッチ1213の詳細については後述する。なお、BMU1212は、コネクタ(不図示)を介してECU140と通信する。BMU1212は、そのコネクタを介して制御用の電力の供給を受ける。
 バッテリ122についても、バッテリ121と同様である。なお、スイッチ1213とスイッチ1223は、FETなどの半導体素子であってもよい。
The battery 121 according to the embodiment includes a battery body 1211, a battery managing unit (BMU) 1212, a switch 1213, a high potential side terminal 121P (first electrode terminal), and a low potential side terminal 121N (second electrode terminal). Equipped with Similarly, the battery 122 includes a battery body 1221, a BMU 1222, and a switch 1223. In the following description, BMU 1212 and BMU 1222 may be collectively referred to simply as BMU. The charge / discharge status of the batteries 121 and 122, the storage amount, the temperature, and the like are monitored by the BMU of each battery. The information on the monitored batteries 121 and 122 is shared with the ECU 140. The BMU restricts charging / discharging of the battery body 1211 or the like by controlling the switch 1213 or the like according to a control command from the ECU 140 described later or the monitoring result described above. Details of the switch 1213 will be described later. The BMU 1212 communicates with the ECU 140 via a connector (not shown). BMU 1212 receives supply of control power via its connector.
The battery 122 is also similar to the battery 121. The switches 1213 and 1223 may be semiconductor elements such as FETs.
 ECU140には、スロットル(アクセル)センサ180からの出力要求の情報が入力される。ECU140は、入力された出力要求の情報に基づいて、コンタクタ115、バッテリ120、PDU130などを制御する。例えば、ECU140は、バッテリ120を制御することにより、バッテリ120の充放電を規制することができる。ECU140は、コンタクタ115を制御することにより、バッテリ120に対する電力の供給とバッテリ120からの放電を切換える。ECU140は、PDU130が電動モータ135に供給する電力を制御することによって、電動モータ135の駆動を制御する。なお、図2に示したブロック図においては、充電器150も電動二輪車1の走行を制御する制御システム10に含めているが、充電器150を、電動二輪車1に着脱可能なように構成してもよい。この場合、充電器150は、電動二輪車1の外部に設けられていてもよい。なお、充電器150による充電の方法は、一般的な方法を選択してもよい。 Information of an output request from the throttle (accelerator) sensor 180 is input to the ECU 140. The ECU 140 controls the contactor 115, the battery 120, the PDU 130 and the like based on the input information of the output request. For example, the ECU 140 can regulate charge and discharge of the battery 120 by controlling the battery 120. The ECU 140 switches the supply of power to the battery 120 and the discharge from the battery 120 by controlling the contactor 115. The ECU 140 controls the drive of the electric motor 135 by controlling the power supplied to the electric motor 135 by the PDU 130. In the block diagram shown in FIG. 2, the charger 150 is also included in the control system 10 for controlling the traveling of the electric motorcycle 1, but the charger 150 is configured to be detachable from the electric motorcycle 1. It is also good. In this case, the charger 150 may be provided outside the electric motorcycle 1. In addition, the method of charge by the charger 150 may select a general method.
 コンタクタ115(第2スイッチ)は、バッテリ121の低電位側端子121Nとバッテリ122の高電位側端子122Pとの間に設けられている。コンタクタ115は、バッテリ121の低電位側端子121Nとバッテリ122の高電位側端子122Pとの間を接続し、及び接続を断つ。コンタクタ115は、導通状態でバッテリ120を直列に接続する。コンタクタ115は、遮断状態でバッテリ120の直列の接続を解除する。コンタクタ115が遮断状態にある期間には、少なくとも充電器150がバッテリ120に電力を供給する期間が含まれる。 The contactor 115 (second switch) is provided between the low potential side terminal 121 N of the battery 121 and the high potential side terminal 122 P of the battery 122. The contactor 115 connects and disconnects the low potential side terminal 121N of the battery 121 and the high potential side terminal 122P of the battery 122. The contactor 115 connects the batteries 120 in series in the conductive state. The contactor 115 releases the series connection of the battery 120 in the disconnected state. The period in which the contactor 115 is in the disconnected state includes at least the period in which the charger 150 supplies power to the battery 120.
 なお、コンタクタ115が開放状態にある場合のコンタクタ115の許容電圧は、バッテリ120の電圧に対して十分大きく設定されており、少なくともバッテリ120の電圧の変動範囲の上限値(最大電圧値)よりも大きいものとする。 Note that the allowable voltage of the contactor 115 when the contactor 115 is in the open state is set sufficiently higher than the voltage of the battery 120, and at least higher than the upper limit value (maximum voltage value) of the fluctuation range of the voltage of the battery 120. It shall be large.
[電気回路の駆動系の接続構成の例]
 電気回路110の駆動系のバッテリ120と、コンタクタ115と、PDU130は、電気回路110により直列に電気的に接続されている。上記の通りバッテリ120は、バッテリ121とバッテリ122とを含み、バッテリ121とバッテリ122とを直列接続可能である。バッテリ121には、バッテリ本体1211とスイッチ1213が内蔵されている。バッテリ122には、バッテリ本体1221とスイッチ1223が内蔵されている。

The switch 1213 or the switch 1223 is an example of a first switch. The PDU 130 is an example of a load. The electrical circuit 110 electrically connects the battery 120, the contactor 115, and the PDU 130 in series. That is, the electric circuit 110 electrically connects the battery body 1211 and the battery body 1221, the switch 1213 or the switch 1223, the contactor 115, and the PDU 130 in series. A capacitor 133 and a voltage detection unit 134 are connected in parallel to the power supply line of the PDU 130.
[電気回路の作用]
 ECU140は、バッテリ120のBMUからバッテリ120の状態を取得する。ECU140は、PDU130の電圧検出部134からPDU130の電源側の電圧を取得する。ECU140は、スロットルセンサ180等から利用者の操作を検出する。例えば、ECU140は、収集した情報に基づいて、コンタクタ115と、PDU130とを制御する。
[Function of electric circuit]
The ECU 140 acquires the state of the battery 120 from the BMU of the battery 120. The ECU 140 acquires the voltage on the power supply side of the PDU 130 from the voltage detection unit 134 of the PDU 130. The ECU 140 detects the user's operation from the throttle sensor 180 or the like. For example, the ECU 140 controls the contactor 115 and the PDU 130 based on the collected information.
 例えば、ECU140は、外部の充電器150等を利用して、充電器150の電力でバッテリ120を充電するための処理を実施する。また、ECU140は、ユーザの操作を検知して、ユーザの要求に応じて、電機二輪車1を駆動させるために、PDU130に電力を供給することで、コンデンサ133を予め充電する処理を実施する。また、ECU140は、ユーザの操作に応じて、PDU130を駆動して電機二輪車1を駆動するための処理を実施する。これらの処理は、一般的な手順に従って実施してよい。 For example, the ECU 140 performs processing for charging the battery 120 with the power of the charger 150 using the external charger 150 or the like. Further, the ECU 140 detects a user's operation and carries out a process of charging the capacitor 133 in advance by supplying power to the PDU 130 in order to drive the electric motorcycle 1 according to the user's request. Further, the ECU 140 carries out processing for driving the electric motorcycle 1 by driving the PDU 130 in accordance with the user's operation. These processes may be performed according to a general procedure.
 実施形態のECU140は、更に「電機二輪車1を稼働させている間に発生した突発事象に対する処理」を実行する。
 本実施形態における突発事象とは、駆動部130により電動モータ135を駆動させている状態で、構成を保護するために実施した動作、安全な状態を維持するために実施した動作等を電気回路10の各機能部が実施したことにより、利用者が要求した処理の結果とは異なる結果を生じた事象のことである。
The ECU 140 of the embodiment further executes “processing for an unexpected event that occurred while the electric motorcycle 1 is operated”.
The sudden event in this embodiment refers to the operation performed to protect the configuration in a state where the electric motor 135 is driven by the drive unit 130, the operation performed to maintain the safe state, and the like. It is an event that has resulted in a result different from the result of the processing requested by the user, as a result of execution by each functional unit.
 より具体的な一例をあげて説明する。
 例えば、バッテリ120のスイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223は、上記の制御中にECU140の処理によって遮断状態に制御されることはなく、バッテリ120内のBMUの処理などにより制御される。つまり、上記の制御中にスイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223が遮断状態になる事象は、突発事象に含まれる。
A more specific example will be described.
For example, the switch 1213 or the switch 1223 of the battery 120 is not controlled to the cutoff state by the process of the ECU 140 during the above control, but is controlled by the process of the BMU in the battery 120 or the like. That is, an event in which the switch 1213 or the switch 1223 is shut off during the above control is included in the sudden event.
[突発事象の影響]
 PDU130に電力を供給している最中に、上記の突発事象が発生し、スイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223の何れかが遮断状態となった場合、PDU130に対するバッテリ120からの電力の供給が停止する。
[Influence of sudden events]
When power is supplied to the PDU 130, if the above-mentioned catastrophic event occurs and either the switch 1213 or the switch 1223 is cut off, the power supply from the battery 120 to the PDU 130 is stopped.
 一方で、ECU140は、この突発事象の発生を検知できていない状態が継続している間は、PDU130に電動モータ135を駆動するための制御信号を供給し続ける。バッテリ120から電力が供給されないため、PDU130は、コンデンサに蓄えられている電力を消費して電動モータ135の駆動を継続するが、コンデンサの蓄電量が枯渇すると電動モータ135を駆動することができなくなる(第1の影響)。 On the other hand, the ECU 140 continues to supply the PDU 130 with a control signal for driving the electric motor 135 while the state where the occurrence of the sudden event can not be detected continues. Since power is not supplied from the battery 120, the PDU 130 consumes the power stored in the capacitor to continue driving the electric motor 135. However, when the storage amount of the capacitor is exhausted, the electric motor 135 can not be driven. (First effect).
 実施形態の場合、バッテリ120のスイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223の許容電圧は、バッテリ120の電源電圧より小さい。上記の突発事象が発生すると、スイッチ1213スイッチ1223に印加される電圧が、スイッチ1213の許容電圧を超える、又は、スイッチ1223に印加される電圧が、スイッチ1223の許容電圧を超えることが生じ得る(第2の影響)。この第2の影響は、電機二輪車1の走行ができない状況を招くことがある。第2の影響については、このような状況が生じないように回避することが必要である。 In the embodiment, the allowable voltage of switch 1213 or switch 1223 of battery 120 is smaller than the power supply voltage of battery 120. When the above catastrophic event occurs, the voltage applied to the switch 1213 may exceed the allowable voltage of the switch 1213 or the voltage applied to the switch 1223 may exceed the allowable voltage of the switch 1223 (see FIG. Second effect). The second influence may lead to a situation where the electric motorcycle 1 can not travel. The second effect needs to be avoided so that this situation does not occur.
[突発事象の影響の回避について]
 実施形態の電気回路10は、下記の処理を行うことで、上記の影響が生じることを回避する。以下、その詳細について説明する。
[Avoiding the effects of sudden events]
The electric circuit 10 according to the embodiment avoids the above-mentioned influence by performing the following processing. The details will be described below.
 図3は、実施形態の突発事象の影響を回避するための処理が実施された場合の動作を説明するための図である。この図には、突発事象が発生してからのコンデンサ133の電圧Vin(V)の変化を示す。 FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the process for avoiding the influence of the sudden event according to the embodiment is performed. This figure shows the change in the voltage Vin (V) of the capacitor 133 after the occurrence of a sudden event.
 図4は、実施形態の突発事象の影響を回避するための処理のフローチャートである。
 まず、時刻t1において、バッテリ120のスイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223が遮断状態になる突発事象が発生する(SA0)。これにより、コンデンサ133の電圧が低下し始めるが、電動モータ135の駆動は継続する(SA1)。
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a process for avoiding the influence of an unexpected event according to the embodiment.
First, at time t1, a sudden event occurs in which the switch 1213 or the switch 1223 of the battery 120 is shut off (SA0). Thereby, the voltage of the capacitor 133 starts to decrease, but the driving of the electric motor 135 continues (SA1).
 次に、コンデンサ133の電圧が、予め定められた閾値THより低下したか否かを判定する(SA2)。コンデンサ133の電圧が閾値THより低下していない場合には、ECU140は、処理をSA1に戻す。 Next, it is determined whether the voltage of the capacitor 133 is lower than a predetermined threshold TH (SA2). If the voltage of capacitor 133 has not dropped below threshold value TH, ECU 140 returns the process to SA1.
 次に、コンデンサ133の電圧が閾値THより低下した場合には、ECU140は、PDU130を制御して、電動モータ135に電流を供給することを停止させる(SA3)。つまり、時刻t3において、PDU130が備える半導体スイッチとしてのFETを全てOFF状態にする。これにより、電気回路110上を、電動モータ135に対して電力を供給する方向に流れる電流が、2箇所で遮断される。 Next, when the voltage of the capacitor 133 falls below the threshold value TH, the ECU 140 controls the PDU 130 to stop the supply of current to the electric motor 135 (SA3). That is, at time t3, all FETs as semiconductor switches included in the PDU 130 are turned off. As a result, the current flowing in the direction of supplying power to the electric motor 135 on the electric circuit 110 is interrupted at two places.
 次に、時刻t3から所定時間経過した後、ECU140は、コンタクタ115を遮断状態にする(SA4)。これにより、時刻t5において、電気回路110が少なくとも2箇所で遮断され、スイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223に印加される電圧が無くなることにより、上記の第2の影響の発生を回避する。 Next, after a predetermined time has elapsed from time t3, the ECU 140 turns off the contactor 115 (SA4). As a result, at time t5, the electric circuit 110 is cut off at at least two places, and the voltage applied to the switch 1213 or the switch 1223 disappears, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the second influence.
 上記の処理についての説明を補足する。
 コンデンサ133の電圧が負荷(電動モータ135)により消費されると、バッテリ120の電圧がそのまま維持されて、コンデンサ133の電圧のみが低下する。そのため、バッテリ120の電圧とコンデンサ133の電圧の電位差が、突発事象により遮断されたスイッチ(スイッチ1213又はスイッチ1223)に印加される。この電圧が、スイッチの許容電圧を超えると、そのスイッチが破壊される可能性がある。
Supplement the explanation of the above process.
When the voltage of the capacitor 133 is consumed by the load (electric motor 135), the voltage of the battery 120 is maintained as it is, and only the voltage of the capacitor 133 is lowered. Therefore, a potential difference between the voltage of the battery 120 and the voltage of the capacitor 133 is applied to the switch (the switch 1213 or the switch 1223) cut off due to the sudden event. If this voltage exceeds the allowable voltage of the switch, the switch may be destroyed.
 これに対して、電気回路10の閉回路内に、上記のスイッチに加えて、他の開閉器(スイッチ)を配置し、突発事象発生時に迅速にこのスイッチを切断する実施例が考えられる(実施例1)。なお、実施例1の方法を、機械的な開閉器(スイッチ)で実現する場合、回路の切断に要する時間は100ミリ秒程度かかることが見込まれる。 On the other hand, another embodiment may be considered in which another switch (switch) is disposed in the closed circuit of the electric circuit 10 in addition to the above switch and this switch is rapidly disconnected when a sudden event occurs (implementation Example 1). In the case where the method of the first embodiment is realized by a mechanical switch (switch), it is expected that the time taken to disconnect the circuit will take about 100 milliseconds.
 上記の実施例1の機械的な開閉器(スイッチ)に代えて、電気式スイッチで実現する対策が考えられる(実施例2)。この場合、機械的要素に依存する時間遅れが無く、回路の切断に要する時間を短縮できるので、応答時間短縮の観点で好適である。電気式スイッチを利用することで、例えば、コンデンサ133の電荷が10ミリ秒程で消費されるような場合でも、その過程で消費を抑制するための処理を行うことができる。 In place of the mechanical switch (switch) of the first embodiment described above, a countermeasure realized by an electric switch can be considered (second embodiment). In this case, there is no time delay depending on mechanical elements, and the time required to disconnect the circuit can be shortened, which is preferable from the viewpoint of shortening the response time. By using the electrical switch, for example, even when the charge of the capacitor 133 is consumed in about 10 milliseconds, a process for suppressing the consumption can be performed in the process.
 ただし、電気回路110内に、メインスイッチとしての機械的な開閉器を設ける場合、更に電気式スイッチを併せて設けることが必要になる。そこで、更に電気式スイッチを追加することなく、応答性を確保するために、本実施形態では、PDU130の制御を組み合わせている。 However, in the case where a mechanical switch as a main switch is provided in the electric circuit 110, it is necessary to further provide an electric switch. Therefore, in the present embodiment, control of the PDU 130 is combined in order to ensure responsiveness without further adding an electrical switch.
 PDU130は、電動モータ135を駆動するためのインバータ131、つまり半導体スイッチを備えている。PDU130は、この半導体スイッチを、予め定められた条件が充足される場合に、電気回路110の電流を遮断することに利用する。 The PDU 130 includes an inverter 131 for driving the electric motor 135, that is, a semiconductor switch. The PDU 130 utilizes this semiconductor switch to interrupt the current of the electrical circuit 110 if a predetermined condition is satisfied.
 実施形態によれば、制御システムは、バッテリ120の本体と、バッテリ120内のスイッチ(第1スイッチ)と、PDU130とを直列に電気的に接続する閉回路と、PDU130に並列に接続されるコンデンサ133と、上記の第1スイッチの状態が、第1スイッチに印加される電圧が第1スイッチの許容電圧を超えた過電圧状態になることを抑制するECU140(保護部)と、を備える。EUC140は、第1スイッチが開放状態になった場合に、PDU130の稼働状態を調整して、電力消費を制限することにより、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制して、上記の第1スイッチの信頼性をより高めることができる。 According to an embodiment, the control system includes a closed circuit that electrically connects the body of the battery 120, a switch (first switch) in the battery 120, and the PDU 130 in series, and a capacitor connected in parallel to the PDU 130. 133, and an ECU 140 (protector) that suppresses the state of the first switch described above from becoming an overvoltage state in which the voltage applied to the first switch exceeds the allowable voltage of the first switch. The EUC 140 adjusts the operating state of the PDU 130 when the first switch is in the open state, thereby restricting the power consumption, thereby suppressing the overvoltage state of the first switch, thereby causing the first switch to fail. The reliability of the switch can be further improved.
 なお、第1スイッチの過電圧状態とは、第1スイッチに印加される電圧が、第1スイッチの許容電圧を超えた状態のことである。第1スイッチの許容電圧とは、開放状態における許容最大端子間電圧のことである。第1スイッチの開放状態には、電気回路10に通電させている導通状態から開放状態に遷移した後の状態が含まれる。 The overvoltage state of the first switch is a state in which the voltage applied to the first switch exceeds the allowable voltage of the first switch. The allowable voltage of the first switch is the allowable maximum inter-terminal voltage in the open state. The open state of the first switch includes the state after transition from the conductive state in which the electric circuit 10 is energized to the open state.
 なお、上記の過電圧状態は、コンデンサ133の電圧が所望の電圧(電源電圧)以下に低下した状態に含まれる。より具体的には、上記の過電圧状態は、コンデンサ133の電圧が、バッテリ121又はバッテリ122の単独の電圧以下に低下した状態に含まれる。 Note that the above overvoltage state is included in a state in which the voltage of the capacitor 133 is reduced to a desired voltage (power supply voltage) or less. More specifically, the above-mentioned overvoltage state is included in the state where the voltage of the capacitor 133 has dropped below the single voltage of the battery 121 or the battery 122.
 また、上記のコンデンサ133の負荷には、電動モータ135と、電動モータ135を駆動するPDU130(駆動部)とが含まれる。ECU140は、第1スイッチが開放状態になった場合に、PDU130から電動モータ135に対する電力供給を遮断するように制御することにより、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制してもよい。 Further, the load of the above-described capacitor 133 includes the electric motor 135 and the PDU 130 (drive unit) that drives the electric motor 135. The ECU 140 may suppress the first switch from becoming an overvoltage state by controlling to shut off the power supply from the PDU 130 to the electric motor 135 when the first switch is in the open state.
 また、ECU140は、コンデンサ133の電圧に基づいて、第1スイッチの開放状態を検出することで、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制してもよい。 Further, the ECU 140 may suppress the first switch from becoming an overvoltage state by detecting the open state of the first switch based on the voltage of the capacitor 133.
 また、制御システム10は、電気回路110において、バッテリ120の本体と、バッテリ120内のスイッチ(第1スイッチ)と、PDU130とに直列に接続されたコンタクタ115(第2のスイッチ)を備える。ECU140は、第1スイッチが開放状態になった場合に、コンタクタ115を開放状態にすることにより、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制してもよい。 The control system 10 further includes a contactor 115 (second switch) connected in series to the body of the battery 120, the switch (first switch) in the battery 120, and the PDU 130 in the electric circuit 110. The ECU 140 may suppress the overvoltage of the first switch by opening the contactor 115 when the first switch is opened.
 また、ECU140は、第1スイッチが開放状態になった場合に、PDU130の電力消費を制限した後に、コンタクタ115を開放状態にすることにより、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制してもよい。 Further, even if the ECU 140 limits the power consumption of the PDU 130 when the first switch is in the open state, the contactor 115 is kept in the open state, thereby suppressing the overvoltage state of the first switch. Good.
 また、バッテリ120は、電源として、直列に接続される複数のバッテリ本体を含む。
 コンタクタ115は、複数のバッテリ本体を含む電気回路110に設けられており、ECU140の制御により電気回路110を開くことにより、第1スイッチが過電圧状態になることを抑制してもよい。

The contactor 115 may be provided in the electric circuit 110 including a plurality of battery bodies, and may suppress the first switch from becoming an overvoltage state by opening the electric circuit 110 under the control of the ECU 140.
 また、開放状態にある第1スイッチの許容電圧が電源の電圧値より小さくてもよい。 Also, the allowable voltage of the first switch in the open state may be smaller than the voltage value of the power supply.
 なお、実施形態によるECU140は、コンピュータシステムを含む。ECU140は、上記の処理を実現するためのプログラムをコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体に記録して、その記録媒体に記録されたプログラムをコンピュータシステムに読み込ませ、実行することにより、上述した種々の処理を行ってもよい。なお、ここでいう「コンピュータシステム」とは、OSや周辺機器等のハードウェアを含むものであってもよい。また、「コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体」とは、フレキシブルディスク、光磁気ディスク、ROM、フラッシュメモリ等の書き込み可能な不揮発性メモリ、CD-ROM等の可搬媒体、コンピュータシステムに内蔵されるハードディスク等の記憶装置のことをいう。 The ECU 140 according to the embodiment includes a computer system.
