(Embodiment 1)
-System configuration of electric vehicle-
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an electric vehicle equipped with an engine. This electric vehicle (hereinafter also referred to as a vehicle) 1 is an external power source such as a household power source when traveling at a short distance (for example, traveling at 50 km or less). The electric power of the battery 12 charged with the external electric power supplied from the motor is supplied to the motor 16 to drive the driving wheel, while the generator 10 is driven by the engine 10 during the long-distance traveling to generate the power. In this plug-in hybrid vehicle, electric power is supplied to the battery 12 to be charged, and electric power of the charged battery 12 is supplied to the motor 16 to drive the drive wheels. As described above, this plug-in hybrid vehicle includes the engine 10 and the motor 16 as power sources. The engine 10 is used only for power generation, and the power for moving the vehicle depends entirely on the motor 16. It is a car.

The engine 10 is an in-line two-cylinder small reciprocating engine in which two cylinders (hereinafter also referred to as cylinders) are arranged in a line in a direction in which a crankshaft (drive shaft) 10a (shown in FIG. 3 and the like) extends. In this reciprocating engine, the piston (inside the cylinder) is moved up and down by the connecting rod and the crankshaft 10a with the energy obtained by burning the fuel (for example, gasoline) supplied from the fuel tank 18 for the engine in the combustion chamber. It is supposed to replace it with exercise. Further, the above-mentioned cylinders correspond to an intake passage (intake pipe) 19 (corresponding to “engine intake system”, shown in FIG. 3 and the like) and an exhaust passage (exhaust pipe) 20 (corresponding to “engine exhaust system”). Etc.). The intake passage 19 is one on the upstream side, but is divided into two on the downstream side and communicates with each cylinder. An air cleaner 19a using a filter is disposed in the intake passage 19 to remove foreign matters and dust in the intake air. The exhaust passage 20 is one on the downstream side, but is branched into two on the upstream side and communicates with each cylinder. The exhaust passage 20, both HC and CO in the exhaust gas, the exhaust gas purification device 20a using the three-way catalyst for purifying harmful components such as NO _X is disposed downstream of the exhaust purification device 20a On the side, a muffler 20b is arranged that cancels and absorbs the pressure fluctuation of the exhaust gas explosion sound energy and quiets the sound. The engine 10 is automatically operated when the remaining amount of the battery 12 is low (for example, when the charge rate SOC of the battery 12 is 30% or less). Since the engine 10 is downsized as described above, the fuel tank 18 and the air cleaner 19a are also downsized.

  The battery 12 has a large capacity and high performance with a large capacity, and is connected to the generator 14 and the motor 16 via an inverter 22, respectively. The generated power from the generator 14 and the regenerative power from the motor 16 are connected to each other. Is supplied and charged. The battery 12 can be supplied and charged with external power from an external power source when the vehicle 1 is not in use. The battery 12 supplies the electric power to the motor 16 to drive it.

  The generator 14 has a rotating shaft (input shaft) 14 a (shown in FIG. 3 and the like) connected to the crankshaft 10 a of the engine 10 and can be driven by the engine 10.

  The rotation axis (output shaft) of the motor 16 is connected to the left and right front wheels 30 and 32 as the driving wheels, and power is supplied from the battery 12 and / or the generator 14 to drive the front wheels 30 and 32. .

  The inverter 22 includes an AC-DC converter (an inverter for the generator 14) 22a that converts AC power into DC power and a DC-AC converter (an inverter for the motor 16) 22b that converts DC power into AC power. In other words, the battery 12, the generator 14, and the motor 16 exchange electric power and convert them. Specifically, when charging the battery 12 with the power from the generator 14, the AC power from the generator 14 is converted into DC power by the AC-DC converter 22 a and supplied to the battery 12. Further, when supplying the power of the battery 12 to the motor 16, the DC power from the battery 12 is converted into AC power by the DC-AC converter 22 b and supplied to the motor 16. Further, when power from the generator 14 is supplied to the motor 16, the AC power from the generator 14 is converted into DC power by the AC-DC converter 22a, and then the DC power is converted into AC power by the DC-AC converter 22b. To the motor 16.
