  3 to 6 show the state of the power supply system 1 </ b> S in each operation state of the automobile 1. Arrows P1 to P8 indicate the state of power supply. FIG. 7 shows the capacity of the second power source 6, the output power of the second power source 6 (DC / DC converter 8 </ b> C), and the output power of the generator 5 a in each operation state of the automobile 1. The abscissa represents time, the time t1 to t2 is the vehicle stop period S1, the time t2 to t3, t4 to t5, t6 to t7 is the vehicle travel period D1, D2, D3, and the time t3 to t4, t5 to t6 is The vehicle deceleration periods SD1 and SD2 and the time t7 and thereafter indicate a capacity shortage period ST of the second power source 6, respectively.

  First, the control circuit 9a acquires the vehicle information A1 and grasps the vehicle operating state.

  When the control circuit 9a determines that the vehicle is stopped based on the vehicle information A1, as shown in FIG. 3, the switch 8S is turned off so that the second power source 6 can be charged from the outside so that the second power source 6 is turned on. It is electrically disconnected from the power supply system 1S. Thus, the driver can insert the plug of the external power source into the plug receptacle PL and charge the power of the external power source to the second power source 6 as indicated by the arrow P1 (vehicle stop period S1 in FIG. 7). The vehicle information S1 indicating that the vehicle is stopped may be transmitted to the control circuit 9a when the starter 11 of the automobile 1 is switched off, or into the control circuit 9a when an external power plug is inserted into the plug receptacle PL. It may be transmitted.

  Next, when the control circuit 9a determines that the vehicle is running or idling based on the vehicle information A1, the control circuit 9a turns on the switch 8S and the DC / DC converter 8C as shown in FIG. The electrical accessory 7 is electrically connected. At this time, the output voltage of the DC / DC converter 8C is made higher than the adjustment voltage of the first power supply 5 (generator 5a). Thereby, while supplying the electric power of the 2nd power supply 6 to the desired electrical equipment auxiliary machine 7 as shown by arrow P2, the electric power generation operation | movement of the generator 5a can be stopped automatically, and the desired power supply from the 1st power supply 5 is possible. It is possible to automatically stop the power supply to the electrical accessory 7 (vehicle travel periods D1 to D3 in FIG. 7).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, since the power generation operation of the generator 5a can be stopped while the vehicle is traveling and idling, the load on the engine 2 can be reduced and the fuel consumption performance can be improved. Further, since electric power is supplied from the second power source 6 to the desired auxiliary machine 7 while the vehicle is running and idling, it is possible to eliminate the need to take out electric power from the battery 5b and to reduce the load on the battery 5b. Thereby, the lifetime of the battery 5b can be improved.

  Next, when the control circuit 9a determines that the vehicle is decelerating based on the vehicle information A1 such as the accelerator opening, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the switch 8S is kept on and the DC / DC converter 8C is turned on. Stop or reduce power output. Thereby, the generator 5a performs a power generation operation. That is, the first power supply 5 and the desired electrical accessory 7 are electrically connected, and the power of the first power supply 5 is supplied to the desired electrical accessory 7 as indicated by arrows P3 and P4 (FIG. 7). Vehicle deceleration period SD2, SD3).

  The power supply from the first power supply 5 to the desired auxiliary machine 7 is mainly supplied by the power from the generator 5a (arrow P3), but when shortage occurs, the power from the battery 5b (arrow P4) It comes to supplement. At this time, the electric power generated by the generator 5a is also charged in the battery 5b as shown by an arrow P5. When the power output of the DC / DC converter 8C is reduced, the power of the second power source 6 is also slightly supplied to the desired auxiliary machine 7.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the electric power generated by the generator 5a by the braking energy during vehicle deceleration can be supplied to the desired auxiliary machine 7. That is, since braking energy can be regenerated, energy use efficiency can be improved. In addition, since the power supply of the second power source 6 can be stopped (or reduced) during vehicle deceleration, the capacity reduction of the second power source 6 can be delayed, and the second power source 6 is used with a single charge. The time that can be increased.

  Next, the control circuit 9a sets the charging capacity of the second power supply 6 that is set in advance based on the charging state information A2 of the second power supply 6 detected by the sensor provided in the second power supply 6. If it is determined that the following has occurred, the switch 8S is turned off as shown in FIG. 6, and the second power supply 6 is electrically disconnected from the power supply system 1S. In this case, the power supply to the auxiliary machine 7 is the same as that of a general automobile without the second power source 6. That is, the first power supply 5 and the desired electrical accessory 7 are electrically connected, and the power of the first power supply 5 is supplied to the desired electrical accessory 7 as indicated by arrows P6 and P7 (FIG. 7). Capacity shortage period ST). By monitoring the charging capacity of the second power source 6 in this way, it is possible to automatically detect a shortage of the capacity of the second power source 6, and when determining that the capacity of the second power source 6 is insufficient, to the auxiliary machine 7. Can be automatically switched from the second power supply 6 to the first power supply 5. The power supply from the first power supply 5 to the desired auxiliary machine 7 is mainly supplied from the generator 5a (arrow P6), but the shortage is also supplied from the battery 5b (arrow P7). At this time, the electric power generated in the generator 5a is also charged in the battery 5b (arrow P8).

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, in the automobile 1 having the first power source 5 having the generator 5a that generates power by the operation of the engine 2 and the second power source 6 that can be charged from the external power source, various operation states are brought about. Accordingly, the power use efficiency can be improved by appropriately switching the power supply source to the auxiliary machine 7 between the first power supply 5 and the second power supply.

In addition, since power is supplied from the second power source 6 to the auxiliary machine 7, charging power is necessary, but power is more economically advantageous in terms of energy cost, and carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ). Emissions can be reduced. By using a high-performance secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery as the secondary battery of the second power source 6, even a small battery that can be mounted on the vehicle can supply about half a day of power. Charging when the vehicle stops, such as unloading or resting, makes it possible to supply power for one day. Furthermore, the power supply system according to the present embodiment does not require significant modification of the vehicle and can be retrofitted to the current standard vehicle.
