ところで、上記従来の構成では、エアクリーナ装置や加給機等の吸気系部材と、希釈ボックスやサイレンサ等の排気系部材とが、燃料電池を挟んで大きく離間してしまうことがある。
そこでこの発明は、燃料電池の吸気系部材及び排気系部材の車体への取り付け性及びメンテナンス性を向上できる燃料電池車両における吸排気系部材配置構造を提供する。
By the way, in the above conventional configuration, an intake system member such as an air cleaner device or a turbocharger and an exhaust system member such as a dilution box or a silencer may be greatly separated with the fuel cell interposed therebetween.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an intake / exhaust system member arrangement structure in a fuel cell vehicle that can improve the attachment and maintenance of the intake system members and exhaust system members of the fuel cell to the vehicle body.

上記課題の解決手段として、請求項1に記載した発明は、水素と酸素とを反応させることで電力を生成する燃料電池(例えば実施例の燃料電池51)と、吸気口(例えば実施例の吸気口74)を有して該吸気口から吸入した空気を前記燃料電池に供給する吸気系部材(例えば実施例のエアクリーナ装置57)と、排気口(例えば実施例の排気口76)を有して該排気口から前記燃料電池からの排出ガスを排出する排気系部材(例えば実施例の排気管77)とを備える燃料電池車両における吸排気系部材配置構造において、前記吸気系部材と排気系部材とは、共に前記燃料電池の一側方に配置されることを特徴とする。   As a means for solving the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is directed to a fuel cell (for example, the fuel cell 51 of the embodiment) that generates electric power by reacting hydrogen and oxygen, and an intake port (for example, the intake air of the embodiment). An intake system member (for example, the air cleaner device 57 of the embodiment) and an exhaust port (for example, the exhaust port 76 of the embodiment) having an opening 74) and supplying air sucked from the intake port to the fuel cell.

さらに、請求項4に記載した発明のように、前記吸気口は、前記車輪よりも上方に配置される構成とすれば、車輪により巻き上げられた水や泥埃等の異物が吸気口内に侵入することを抑制できる。   Further, as in the invention described in claim 4, if the intake port is arranged above the wheel, foreign matter such as water and dirt wound up by the wheel enters the intake port. This can be suppressed.

請求項1に記載した発明によれば、吸排気系部材の車体への取り付け性及びメンテナンス性を向上できる。また、吸排気系部材のモジュール化を図ることができる。
請求項2に記載した発明によれば、他車の排出ガスの吸入を抑えて燃料電池に良好な外気(酸化剤ガス)を供給できると共に、吸気系部材(エアクリーナ装置)のメンテナンス頻度を低くできる。
請求項3に記載した発明によれば、排出ガスの再吸入を抑えて燃料電池に良好な外気を供給できる。
請求項4に記載した発明によれば、吸気口への異物の侵入を抑えて吸気系部材のメンテナンス頻度を低くできる。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the attachment and maintenance properties of the intake and exhaust system members to the vehicle body. Further, the intake / exhaust system member can be modularized.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to supply the outside air (oxidant gas) to the fuel cell while suppressing the intake of exhaust gas from other vehicles, and to reduce the maintenance frequency of the intake system member (air cleaner device). .
According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to supply good outside air to the fuel cell while suppressing re-suction of exhaust gas.

ここで、図4を参照して自動二輪車1の燃料電池システムの概要について説明する。
燃料電池51は単位電池(単位セル)を多数積層してなる周知の固体高分子膜型燃料電池(PEMFC)であり、そのアノード側に燃料ガスとして水素ガスを供給し、カソード側に酸化剤ガスとして酸素を含む空気を供給することで、電気化学反応により電力を生成すると共に水を生成するものである。
Here, the outline of the fuel cell system of the motorcycle 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
The fuel cell 51 is a well-known solid polymer membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in which a large number of unit cells (unit cells) are stacked. Hydrogen gas is supplied to the anode side as a fuel gas, and oxidant gas is supplied to the cathode side. By supplying oxygen-containing air as described above, electric power is generated and water is generated by an electrochemical reaction.

前記燃料ガスとしての水素ガスは、水素ボンベ52から遮断弁53を介して所定圧力をもって(換言すれば所定の高圧状態で)燃料電池51に供給され、かつ発電に供された後には水素循環流路54内に導入される。この水素循環流路54において、未反応の水素ガスは、水素ボンベ52からの新鮮な水素ガスと共に燃料電池51に繰り返し供給される。水素循環流路54内を循環する水素ガスは、パージ弁55を介して希釈ボックス56内に導入可能とされる。   The hydrogen gas as the fuel gas is supplied from the hydrogen cylinder 52 through the shut-off valve 53 to the fuel cell 51 with a predetermined pressure (in other words, in a predetermined high pressure state), and after being used for power generation, It is introduced into the channel 54. In the hydrogen circulation channel 54, unreacted hydrogen gas is repeatedly supplied to the fuel cell 51 together with fresh hydrogen gas from the hydrogen cylinder 52. Hydrogen gas circulating in the hydrogen circulation channel 54 can be introduced into the dilution box 56 via the purge valve 55.

一方、前記酸化剤ガスとしての空気は、エアクリーナ装置57を介して加給機58内に導入された後に、所定圧力に加圧された状態で燃料電池51に供給され、かつ発電に供された後には希釈ボックス56内に導入される。なお、図中符号58aは燃料電池51への供給空気(酸化剤ガス)を冷却するインタークーラを、符号59は酸化剤ガスに水分を供給する加湿器を、符号58bは燃料電池51の低温時等にインタークーラ58a及び加湿器59を介さずに空気を供給するためのバイパスバルブを、符号58cは燃料電池51における酸化剤ガスの圧力を調整するための背圧弁をそれぞれ示す。   On the other hand, after the air as the oxidant gas is introduced into the charger 58 through the air cleaner device 57, is supplied to the fuel cell 51 in a state of being pressurized to a predetermined pressure, and is supplied to the power generation. Is introduced into the dilution box 56. In the figure, reference numeral 58a denotes an intercooler that cools the supply air (oxidant gas) to the fuel cell 51, reference numeral 59 denotes a humidifier that supplies moisture to the oxidant gas, and reference numeral 58b denotes when the fuel cell 51 is at a low temperature. In addition, a bypass valve for supplying air without passing through the intercooler 58a and the humidifier 59, etc., and 58c, a back pressure valve for adjusting the pressure of the oxidant gas in the fuel cell 51, respectively.

そして、水素循環流路54に設けられたパージ弁55が開作動することで、反応後の水素ガスが希釈ボックス56内に導入される。該希釈ボックス56において集積された水素ガスは、同じく希釈ボックス56において集積された燃料電池51からの排出空気と混合、希釈処理された後に、サイレンサ61を介して大気に放出される。   Then, the purge valve 55 provided in the hydrogen circulation channel 54 is opened to introduce hydrogen gas after the reaction into the dilution box 56. The hydrogen gas accumulated in the dilution box 56 is mixed and diluted with the exhaust air from the fuel cell 51 also accumulated in the dilution box 56, and then released to the atmosphere via the silencer 61.

ここで、燃料電池51からの生成水は、排出空気と共に加湿器59内に導入された際に抽出され、酸化剤ガスに供給する水分として再利用される。また、加湿器59で抽出されなかった水分(例えば水蒸気)は、希釈ボックス56を経た後に反応済みガスと共に排出されるか、希釈ボックス56内で凝結した後に排水管81を介して排出される。該排水管81には、その水路を所定のタイミング(例えば所定時間毎)で開閉させる制御弁82が設けられている。   Here, the generated water from the fuel cell 51 is extracted when it is introduced into the humidifier 59 together with the discharged air, and is reused as moisture supplied to the oxidant gas. Further, moisture (for example, water vapor) that has not been extracted by the humidifier 59 is discharged together with the reacted gas after passing through the dilution box 56, or is condensed through the dilution box 56 and then discharged through the drain pipe 81. The drain pipe 81 is provided with a control valve 82 for opening and closing the water channel at a predetermined timing (for example, every predetermined time).

燃料電池51の運転はECU(電子制御ユニット)62により制御される。具体的には、ECU62には水素ガス及び酸化剤ガスの圧力及び温度に関する信号、車速及び加給機58の回転数に関する信号、燃料電池51及びその冷却水温に関する信号等が入力され、これら各信号に応じて加給機58、バイパスバルブ58b、背圧弁58c、パージ弁55、及び遮断弁53等の作動が制御される。   The operation of the fuel cell 51 is controlled by an ECU (electronic control unit) 62. Specifically, the ECU 62 receives signals relating to the pressure and temperature of hydrogen gas and oxidant gas, signals relating to the vehicle speed and the rotational speed of the charger 58, signals relating to the fuel cell 51 and its cooling water temperature, and the like. Accordingly, the operations of the charger 58, the bypass valve 58b, the back pressure valve 58c, the purge valve 55, the cutoff valve 53, and the like are controlled.

また、ECU62にはスロットルグリップ15からの加速要求信号が入力され、該信号に応じて後輪32駆動用のモータ31が駆動制御される。モータ31は、燃料電池51あるいは二次電池としてのバッテリ63からの直流電流が、インバータユニットとしてのモータドライバ64において三相の交流電流に変換された後に供給されて駆動する三相交流モータとして構成される。   Further, an acceleration request signal from the throttle grip 15 is input to the ECU 62, and the drive of the motor 31 for driving the rear wheels 32 is controlled according to the signal. The motor 31 is configured as a three-phase AC motor that is supplied and driven after a DC current from the fuel cell 51 or the battery 63 as a secondary battery is converted into a three-phase AC current in a motor driver 64 as an inverter unit. Is done.

上記燃料電池システムにおける冷却系は、燃料電池51及びモータ31のウォータジャケット、並びにインタークーラ58a内及びモータドライバ64に隣接する冷却板(冷却器)65内の各水路を連通させる冷却水路66を形成し、該冷却水路66にウォータポンプ67及びラジエータ68を設けてなるものである。   The cooling system in the fuel cell system forms a cooling water channel 66 for communicating each water channel in the water jacket of the fuel cell 51 and the motor 31 and in the cooling plate (cooler) 65 adjacent to the intercooler 58a and the motor driver 64. The cooling water channel 66 is provided with a water pump 67 and a radiator 68.

このような冷却系において、ウォータポンプ67の作動により冷却水路66内を冷却水が流通、循環することで、燃料電池51、モータ31、酸化剤ガス、及びモータドライバ64から吸熱されると共にこの熱がラジエータ68にて放熱される。なお、図中符号69は、燃料電池51の低温時等にラジエータ68を介さずに冷却水を循環させるためのサーモスタットを示す。   In such a cooling system, the cooling water is circulated and circulated in the cooling water channel 66 by the operation of the water pump 67, so that heat is absorbed from the fuel cell 51, the motor 31, the oxidant gas, and the motor driver 64, and this heat. Is radiated by the radiator 68. Reference numeral 69 in the figure denotes a thermostat for circulating the cooling water without using the radiator 68 when the fuel cell 51 is at a low temperature or the like.

図1〜3を併せて参照して説明すると、水素ボンベ52は、円筒形の外観を有する一般的な高圧ガスボンベであり、金属と繊維強化プラスチックとからなる一般複合容器とされる。このような水素ボンベ52が、後輪32の上方であって車体後部右側において、その軸線(中心線)Cが前後方向に沿うように、詳細には前記軸線Cがやや前下がりとなるように配置される。このときの水素ボンベ52は、その右側端(外側端)が車体右側のアッパチューブ6の外側端よりもやや外側に位置し、かつ左側端(内側端)が後輪32の外側端よりもやや外側に位置するように配置される。   1-3, the hydrogen cylinder 52 is a general high-pressure gas cylinder having a cylindrical appearance, and is a general composite container made of metal and fiber reinforced plastic. Such a hydrogen cylinder 52 is located above the rear wheel 32 and on the right side of the rear part of the vehicle body so that its axis (center line) C is along the front-rear direction, and in detail, the axis C is slightly lowered forward. Be placed.

The silencer 61 has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from the side of the vehicle body, and is disposed in a state of being inclined rearward and upward on the diagonally upper left side of the rear wheel 32. The silencer 61 is provided in the rear half portion of the exhaust pipe 77 that inclines rearward, and a tail pipe 75 projects rearward from the rear end of the silencer 61 (exhaust pipe 77). At the rear end of the pipe 75, an outlet 76 for the reacted gas is formed.

ここで、サイレンサ61(排気管77)は後輪32よりも左方に配置される一方、エアクリーナ装置57は後輪32よりも右方に配置される。また、サイレンサ61及びエアクリーナ装置57は、共に燃料電池51よりも後方に配置されている。このように、車体後部において後輪32を挟むようにして左右に配置されるサイレンサ61及びエアクリーナ装置57は、排気口76及び吸気口74を所定量離間させ、かつ吸気口74を後輪32よりも所定量上方に位置させているといえる。   Here, the silencer 61 (exhaust pipe 77) is disposed to the left of the rear wheel 32, while the air cleaner device 57 is disposed to the right of the rear wheel 32. Further, both the silencer 61 and the air cleaner device 57 are arranged behind the fuel cell 51. As described above, the silencer 61 and the air cleaner device 57 arranged on the left and right sides of the rear wheel 32 at the rear of the vehicle body separate the exhaust port 76 and the intake port 74 by a predetermined amount, and place the intake port 74 further than the rear wheel 32. It can be said that it is located above the fixed amount.

そして、エアクリーナ装置57、加給機58、バイパスバルブ58b、インタークーラ58a、及び加湿器59といった吸気系部材と、背圧弁58c、及びサイレンサ61(排気管77)といった排気系部材とは、燃料電池51の後方すなわち車体後部において互いに近接配置されており、これら各吸気系部材と排気系部材とが、不図示の連結ステー等を介して一体的に連結されることで、吸排気系モジュール60を構成している。   The intake system members such as the air cleaner device 57, the charger 58, the bypass valve 58 b, the intercooler 58 a, and the humidifier 59, and the exhaust system members such as the back pressure valve 58 c and the silencer 61 (exhaust pipe 77) are the fuel cell 51.

An exhaust short pipe 78 is led out from the dilution box 56, the exhaust short pipe 78 is connected to the front side of the lower side 7b of the down tube 7 on the left side of the vehicle body, and the exhaust pipe 77 is led out from the rear side of the lower side 7b. Is done. That is, the down tube 7 on the left side of the vehicle body constitutes a part of the exhaust path of the reacted gas, and therefore the exhaust gas from the dilution box 56 is discharged from the exhaust short pipe 78, the lower side 7b of the down tube 7, and the exhaust pipe. 77 to the atmosphere.

排気短管78の中間部分からは、制御弁82を介して排水管81が分岐し、該排水管81が車体左側のダウンチューブ7の下辺部7bに沿うようにして後方に向けて延びる。制御弁82は、例えば通常時には閉状態となり、排水管81の水路を閉じて排出ガスのみを流通させる一方、所定のタイミングにおいて一定時間だけ開状態となり、排出ガスを流通させると共に希釈ボックス56内に集積された水を排水管81を介して車外に排出可能としている。   A drain pipe 81 branches from an intermediate portion of the short exhaust pipe 78 via a control valve 82, and the drain pipe 81 extends rearward along the lower side portion 7b of the down tube 7 on the left side of the vehicle body. For example, the control valve 82 is normally closed and closes the water channel of the drain pipe 81 to allow only the exhaust gas to flow, while at a predetermined timing, the control valve 82 is open for a certain period of time to allow the exhaust gas to flow and enter the dilution box 56. The accumulated water can be discharged out of the vehicle through the drain pipe 81.

A high voltage wiring 64 a for supplying power from the fuel cell 51 and the battery 63 is connected to the front end portion of the motor driver 64. Further, a water supply pipe 65 a and a drain pipe 65 b forming a part of the cooling water channel 66 are connected to the lower and upper front ends of the cooling plate 65, respectively.

モータドライバ64の後端部からは三相の高圧配線64bが導出され、これら各相の高圧配線64bが、モータドライバ64の直ぐ後方に位置するモータ31前端部の給電端子に接続される。すなわち、モータドライバ64は、モータ31と車体側面視でラップしない程度にこれと近接配置されている。なお、図中符号64cは、各相の高圧配線64bに設けられてモータ31への給電量を検出する電流センサ64cを、符号64dは、モータドライバ64の一部としての電圧平滑コンデンサをそれぞれ示す。   A three-phase high-voltage wiring 64 b is led out from the rear end portion of the motor driver 64, and the high-voltage wiring 64 b of each phase is connected to a power supply terminal at the front end portion of the motor 31 located immediately behind the motor driver 64. That is, the motor driver 64 is disposed close to the motor 31 so as not to wrap with the motor 31 in a side view of the vehicle body. In the figure, reference numeral 64c denotes a current sensor 64c provided on the high-voltage wiring 64b of each phase to detect the amount of power supplied to the motor 31, and reference numeral 64d denotes a voltage smoothing capacitor as a part of the motor driver 64. .

The arm cover 21a covers the motor driver 64, the cooling plate 65, the voltage smoothing capacitor 64d, the high-voltage wires 64a and 64b, the water supply pipe 56a and the drain pipe 65b, the current sensor 64c and the like together with the rear swing arm 21 and the motor 31. Is appropriately protected. The arm cover 21a is provided with an outside air inlet and an outlet (not shown) so that the outside air can be circulated therein.

以上説明したように、上記実施例における燃料電池車両(自動二輪車1)の吸排気系部材配置構造は、水素と酸素とを反応させることで電力を生成する燃料電池51と、吸気口74から吸入した空気を燃料電池51に供給するエアクリーナ装置57等の吸気系部材と、燃料電池51からの排出ガスを排気口76から排出する排気管77等の排気系部材とを備えるものであって、前記吸気系部材と排気系部材とが、共に燃料電池51の一側方に配置されるものである。   As described above, the intake / exhaust system member arrangement structure of the fuel cell vehicle (motorcycle 1) in the embodiment described above is the intake from the fuel cell 51 that generates power by reacting hydrogen and oxygen, and the intake port 74. An intake system member such as an air cleaner device 57 that supplies the air to the fuel cell 51, and an exhaust system member such as an exhaust pipe 77 that discharges exhaust gas from the fuel cell 51 from the exhaust port 76. The intake system member and the exhaust system member are both disposed on one side of the fuel cell 51.

この構成によれば、吸気系部材と排気系部材とが近接することとなり、これらの車体への取り付け作業及びメンテナンス作業を容易にできる。また、これら吸排気系部材のモジュール化を図ることができる。   According to this configuration, the intake system member and the exhaust system member come close to each other, and the mounting work and maintenance work on these vehicle bodies can be facilitated. Further, these intake and exhaust system members can be modularized.

また、上記吸排気系部材配置構造においては、前記吸気系部材及び排気系部材が、共に燃料電池51の後方に配置されることで、特に吸気口74が燃料電池51の後方すなわち車体後部に位置することとなり、燃料電池51の前方すなわち車体前部に吸気口74が位置する場合と比べて、エアクリーナ装置57が前方走行車両からの排出ガスを吸入し難くなる。このため、燃料電池51に良好な外気(酸化剤ガス)を供給できると共に、エアクリーナ装置57のメンテナンス頻度を低くできる。   Further, in the intake / exhaust system member arrangement structure, the intake system member and the exhaust system member are both arranged behind the fuel cell 51, so that the intake port 74 is particularly located at the rear of the fuel cell 51, that is, at the rear of the vehicle body. As a result, the air cleaner device 57 is less likely to suck the exhaust gas from the forward traveling vehicle as compared with the case where the intake port 74 is located in front of the fuel cell 51, that is, in the front part of the vehicle body. For this reason, while being able to supply favorable external air (oxidant gas) to the fuel cell 51, the maintenance frequency of the air cleaner apparatus 57 can be lowered.

さらに、上記吸排気系部材配置構造においては、前記吸気系部材と排気系部材とが、後輪32を挟んで両側に配置されることで、吸気口74と排気口76とが所定量離間することとなり、排気口76から排出された排出ガスが吸気口74から再度吸入されることを抑制できるため、燃料電池51に良好な外気を供給できる。   Further, in the intake / exhaust system member arrangement structure, the intake system member and the exhaust system member are arranged on both sides of the rear wheel 32, whereby the intake port 74 and the exhaust port 76 are separated by a predetermined amount. As a result, it is possible to suppress the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust port 76 from being sucked again from the intake port 74, so that good outside air can be supplied to the fuel cell 51.

さらにまた、上記吸排気系部材配置構造においては、吸気口74が、後輪32よりも上方に配置されることで、後輪32により巻き上げられた水や泥埃等の異物が吸気口74内に侵入することを抑制できるため、エアクリーナ装置57のメンテナンス頻度を低くできる。   Furthermore, in the intake / exhaust system member arrangement structure, the intake port 74 is disposed above the rear wheel 32, so that foreign matter such as water and dirt wound up by the rear wheel 32 is contained in the intake port 74. Therefore, the maintenance frequency of the air cleaner device 57 can be reduced.

なお、この発明は上記実施例に限られるものではなく、例えば、排気系部材の一つである希釈ボックス56を燃料電池51の後方に配置し、これが吸排気系モジュール60内に含まれるようにしてもよい。同様に、各吸排気系部材の配置を適宜変更してもよい。
そして、上記実施例における構成は一例であり、自動二輪車への適用に限定されないことはもちろん、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能であることはいうまでもない。
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, a dilution box 56, which is one of exhaust system members, is disposed behind the fuel cell 51 so that it is included in the intake / exhaust system module 60. May be. Similarly, the arrangement of each intake / exhaust system member may be changed as appropriate.
And the structure in the said Example is an example, and it cannot be overemphasized that a various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention, as well as being not limited to the application to a motorcycle.
