Abstract

An electric or hybrid vehicle is immobilized whilst connected to a charging lead. The vehicle includes a coupling 24,25 for the charging lead which is reconfigurable to prevent connection of a connector unless charging of the vehicle is intended. The coupling may include a blocking member 27 to prevent unauthorised insertion of a connector for the purpose of rendering the vehicle immobile and preventing the vehicle driver from driving away in the event of a threat arising.

Description

Vehicle Security
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to improvements in vehicle security, and concerns in particular the reduction of vehicle theft. Aspects of the invention relate to a vehicle coupling, to a vehicle and to a method.
BACKGROUND
In recent years the ability of thieves to take vehicles without consent has substantially diminished, principally due to sophisticated electronic immobilizers which rely upon the presence or insertion of an engine start device, typically an ignition key'. Thus without the key, drive away of a vehicle is not possible.
As a consequence vehicle theft now relies upon obtaining the ignition key, typically by confronting the vehicle driver at the vehicle. An alert driver in a stationary vehicle may be able to observe the approach of suspicious persons, and take action by driving away.
Electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and other vehicles reliant upon a charging station are however vulnerable since the vehicle is generally adapted to immobilize the engine/motor/transmission whilst connected to the charging station.
Thus the connection of a charging lead to the vehicle immediately enables an engine or transmission immobilizer to prevent drive-away, and is considered to be an appropriate safety feature. Any kind of vehicle immobilizer is suitable for this purpose.
A difficulty arises however that this safety feature may also render a vehicle and/or driver vulnerable to theft, since it may be possible for a thief to insert a device into vehicle charging socket for the purpose of rendering the vehicle immobile. In such circumstances the vehicle driver cannot drive away.
It is against this background that the present invention has been conceived. Embodiments of the invention may provide an apparatus, a method or a vehicle which addresses the above problems. Other aims and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the
following description, claims and drawings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to one aspect the invention provides a vehicle coupling for connection to a charging connector, said coupling being reconfigurable to prevent connection of said connector.
Such an arrangement can prevent insertion of a charging connector or a substitute thereof during normal use of the vehicle, and in particular if the usual cover flap is prised open.
By coupling' we mean those components of a vehicle which interact to couple with a charging connector or the like. Such components typically include a socket, and may also include a socket housing, a mechanical interlock or other associated part.
In one embodiment the coupling has first and second conditions which are sequentially configurable to block or to not block connection of a connector. In normal use of the vehicle, for example when the driver's seat is occupied or when the vehicle engine/motor/transmission is enabled, or when vehicle doors are locked and the engine/motor is running, the coupling will be in a blocked configuration.
In one embodiment unblocking of the coupling is only in response to a specific input or command, for example from inside the vehicle, typically from the driver's HMI (human machine interface). In this way immobilization of the vehicle due to coupling of a charging connector can only occur in conditions which are deemed suitable by the vehicle driver, for example in preparation for charging from a domestic charging station. Thus for example, the coupling is not unblocked automatically in the event that the vehicle engine/motor is not running.
In another aspect the invention comprises a vehicle incorporating the coupling of the first aspect.
The invention also provides a method of preventing coupling of a charging connector to a vehicle comprising by providing a reconfigurable coupling on the vehicle, and placing said coupling in a blocked configuration unless an unblocked condition is selected.
The blocked configuration may be the normal configuration at all times unless the unblocked condition is selected from the HMI of the driver. Accordingly for charging of the vehicle the method may include the step of placing the coupling in an unblocked configuration from the HMI of the driver. The method may further include the step of reverting to the blocked configuration in the event that a charging connector is not coupled within a pre-determined time period of, for example, 30 seconds.
The method may include the step of preventing adoption of the unblocked configuration whilst the driver's seat is occupied. A suitable pressure sensor of the driver's seat may be provided, having for example an occupant threshold of 20 kg.
Within the scope of this application it is expressly envisaged that the various aspects, embodiments, examples and alternatives, and in particular the individual features thereof, set out in the preceding paragraphs, in the claims and/or in the following description and drawings, may be taken independently or in any combination. For example, features described in connection with one embodiment are applicable to all embodiments, unless such features are incompatible.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 illustrates an electric or hybrid vehicle having a charging socket; and Fig. 2 illustrates schematically in partial section a typical charging socket for the vehicle of Fig. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
With reference to the drawings, Fig. 1 illustrates a hybrid or electric vehicle 11 having a traction battery for propulsion thereof. In order to recharge the battery from a distributed electrical supply, for example at home, a charging coupling 12 is provided. Typically a relatively flimsy hinged flap covers the coupling to prevent tampering and provide weather protection.
The coupling 12 may take any suitable form, but generally has a male/female relationship with a connector of a coupling lead. This lead, which is often carried in the vehicle, is connected between the vehicle and a charging station when required.
Fig. 2 illustrates an example of a vehicle coupling for receiving a charging lead. A vehicle body panel 21 has an aperture normally closed by a flap 22 (shown open). A casing 23 is defined within the aperture and contains a socket comprising a body 24 of insulating material and electrically conductive pins 25 for completing an electrical charging circuit.
In use the flap is opened, and a suitably shaped charging connector inserted in the direction of arrow 26. Once inserted an actuator 27 may be actuated to hold the connector in place.
The actuator 26 includes a moving member 28 which adopts an advanced condition (shown in dotted outline) to engage an aperture or indent of the connector.
The actuator 27 is not essential but may be used to avoid inadvertent dislodging of the connector, and also to enable a charging circuit once the connector is safety latched; where provided it may be an essential pad of the coupling in order to enable a connection protocol.
The actuator 27 adopts the advanced condition only after insertion of a connector so as to avoid damage thereto whilst a connector is inserted and is typically urged to the retracted condition by a spring or the like.
In one embodiment of the invention, the coupling is reconfigured to prevent insertion of a plug into the socket body 24, by providing a suitable barrier. The actuator 27 may be utilized to provide such a barrier, if advanced at times when charging of the vehicle is not required or is not possible -for example because the vehicle is in use.
Thus the actuator 27 may have a dual purpose in this embodiment, and is advanced unless retracted for imminent connection or disconnection of a charging lead. The moving member of the actuator either blocks entry of a plug into the socket 24, or latches a plug within the socket.
In one alternative embodiment, a blocking member may be provided within the socket, and for example project in the region of the pins 25 to prevent insertion of the connector of a charging lead.
Many different configurations will be apparent, some of which provide for blocking independent of a latching actuator, such as actuator 27, and some of which combine the functions of blocking and latching.
