Description

本発明は、車両の冷却装置に関し、特に、電気自動車(BEV)やプラグインハイブリッド自動車(PHEV)等の車両の冷却装置として好適なものである。   The present invention relates to a cooling device for a vehicle, and is particularly suitable as a cooling device for a vehicle such as an electric vehicle (BEV) or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).

従来から、例えば、電気自動車等の車両には、駆動モータや車載充電器等の冷却対象装置を冷却する冷却装置が搭載されている。このような冷却装置としては、例えば、ラジエータによって冷却された冷却流体(冷却水)を電動ポンプ(電動式冷却水ポンプ)によって車載充電器に供給すると共に、車載充電器とラジエータ間を循環させることで冷却対象装置を冷却するようにしたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, for example, a vehicle such as an electric vehicle has a cooling device that cools a cooling target device such as a drive motor or a vehicle-mounted charger. As such a cooling device, for example, a cooling fluid (cooling water) cooled by a radiator is supplied to an in-vehicle charger by an electric pump (electric cooling water pump), and is circulated between the in-vehicle charger and the radiator. There is a device that cools the device to be cooled (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、このような冷却装置を構成する電動式冷却水ポンプとして、例えば、気水分離タンクから供給される冷却水による流体軸受けを採用した電動式冷却水ポンプが用いられているものがある。   As an electric cooling water pump constituting such a cooling device, for example, there is an electric cooling water pump that employs a fluid bearing using cooling water supplied from an air / water separation tank.

特開平7−312805号公報JP 7-31805 A

ここで、気水分離タンクにおける冷却水の水位が低くなると気水分離性能が悪化して冷却水に空気が混入してしまうことがある。冷却水による流体軸受けを採用した電動式冷却水ポンプに空気が混入した冷却水が供給されると、例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度が大幅に上昇する等の異常が発生し、ポンプにダメージを与えてしまう虞がある。   Here, when the water level of the cooling water in the air / water separation tank is lowered, the air / water separation performance is deteriorated and air may be mixed into the cooling water. When cooling water mixed with air is supplied to an electric cooling water pump that employs a fluid bearing using cooling water, for example, an abnormality such as a significant increase in the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump occurs. There is a risk of damaging it.

このため、電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度を監視して、冷却水への空気混入の増加(以下、「空気混入率の増加」という)による電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度の異常(上昇)の有無を判定し、回転速度の異常があると判定された場合には回転を停止して電動式冷却水ポンプのダメージを防止することが行われている。   For this reason, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump is monitored, and the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump is abnormal (increased) due to an increase in air mixing into the cooling water (hereinafter referred to as “increase in air mixing rate”). In the case where it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality in the rotational speed, the rotation is stopped to prevent damage to the electric cooling water pump.

しかしながら、電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度は、複数の要因によって多少の変動(減少或いは増加)が起きることがある。このため、電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度を監視するだけでは、空気混入率の増加を早期に且つ正確に検出することができない虞がある。   However, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump may slightly fluctuate (decrease or increase) due to a plurality of factors. For this reason, there is a possibility that the increase in the air mixing rate cannot be detected early and accurately only by monitoring the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump.

本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、空気混入率の増加による電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度の異常を早期に正確に検出することができる車両の冷却装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a vehicle cooling device capable of accurately and quickly detecting an abnormality in the rotational speed of an electric cooling water pump due to an increase in the air mixing rate.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating an example of a vehicle cooling device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a part of the vehicle cooling device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a graph showing an example of the relationship between the rotation time and the rotation speed of the electric cooling water pump.

図1及び図2に示すように、本実施形態に係る冷却装置1は、電気自動車100に搭載され、駆動モータ(M)101、インバータ102及びバッテリ(二次電池)104を充電するための車載充電器103を含む所定の装置(冷却対象装置)を冷却するものである。具体的には、冷却装置1は、冷却水を貯留すると共に気水分離を行う気水分離タンク2と、気水分離タンク2内の冷却水を吸入すると共に、吸入した冷却水を、駆動モータ101を含む冷却対象装置に送り出す電動式冷却水ポンプ(WP)3と、駆動モータ101等の冷却に使用されて温度が上昇した冷却水を冷却するラジエータ4と、このラジエータ4に対して強制的に送風を行うラジエータファン5とを有し、これらの間が配水管6で接続されている。なおラジエータファン5は、例えば、クーリングファン5aと、クーリングファン5aを回転させる電動モータ5bとで構成される。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cooling device 1 according to the present embodiment is mounted on an electric vehicle 100 and is mounted on a vehicle for charging a drive motor (M) 101, an inverter 102, and a battery (secondary battery) 104. A predetermined device (cooling target device) including the charger 103 is cooled. Specifically, the cooling device 1 stores the cooling water and separates the air / water separation tank 2 that separates the air and water, sucks the cooling water in the air / water separation tank 2, and supplies the sucked cooling water to the drive motor. An electric cooling water pump (WP) 3 that is sent to a cooling target device including 101, a radiator 4 that cools the cooling water that has been used for cooling the drive motor 101 and the like, and the temperature of the radiator 4 is forced. And a radiator fan 5 for blowing air, and a water pipe 6 is connected between them. The radiator fan 5 includes, for example, a cooling fan 5a and an electric motor 5b that rotates the cooling fan 5a.

そして冷却装置1は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3によってラジエータ4から配水管6内に冷却水を循環させることで、駆動モータ101を含む各冷却対象装置が冷却されるように構成されている。なお冷却装置1が冷却する冷却対象装置としては、駆動モータ101の他に、例えば、インバータ102や車載充電器103、或いは図示しないDC/DCコンバータ等が挙げられる。   And the cooling device 1 is comprised so that each cooling object apparatus containing the drive motor 101 may be cooled by circulating cooling water from the radiator 4 into the water distribution pipe 6 by the electric cooling water pump 3. In addition to the drive motor 101, the cooling target device cooled by the cooling device 1 includes, for example, an inverter 102, an in-vehicle charger 103, a DC / DC converter (not shown), and the like.

また電気自動車100には、電気自動車100の制御を行う電子制御装置(ECU)10が設けられており、本実施形態では、冷却装置1もこのECU10によって制御されている。   In addition, the electric vehicle 100 is provided with an electronic control unit (ECU) 10 that controls the electric vehicle 100. In the present embodiment, the cooling device 1 is also controlled by the ECU 10.

ここで電動式冷却水ポンプ3には、冷却水自体を潤滑に用いる流体軸受けが採用されている。このため、気水分離タンク2から電動式冷却水ポンプ3に供給される冷却水の空気混入率が増加すると、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態となり流体軸受けが良好に機能せず、電動式冷却水ポンプ3がダメージを受ける虞がある。このように冷却水の空気混入率が増加すると、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が大幅に上昇することが分かっている。   Here, the electric cooling water pump 3 employs a fluid bearing that uses the cooling water itself for lubrication. For this reason, when the air mixing rate of the cooling water supplied from the steam / water separation tank 2 to the electric cooling water pump 3 increases, the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated and the fluid bearing does not function well. The water pump 3 may be damaged. Thus, it is known that when the air mixing rate of the cooling water is increased, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 is significantly increased.

そこで、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度を監視することで、空気混入率の増加による軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態の発生の有無を判定している。具体的には、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が、予め設定された判定値を超えた場合に、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したと判定する。そして、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したと判定された場合には、即座に回転を停止すると共に使用者に冷却水の補充を促し、電動式冷却水ポンプ3がダメージを受けるのを未然に防止している。   Therefore, by monitoring the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3, it is determined whether or not the bearing is insufficiently lubricated due to an increase in the air mixing rate. Specifically, when the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 exceeds a preset determination value, it is determined that a state in which the bearing is insufficiently lubricated has occurred. When it is determined that the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated, the rotation is stopped immediately and the user is encouraged to refill the cooling water, and the electric cooling water pump 3 is damaged. Prevents it in advance.

ところで電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度には、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生していない正常運転時であっても回転時間の経過に伴って多少の変動が生じることがある。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後は、回転時間の経過に伴って回転速度は徐々に低下した後に安定する傾向を示す。このように電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度は、正常運転時であっても回転開始直後は回転時間の経過に伴って変動が生じるため、判定値を一定の値に設定していると、実際の回転速度と判定値との差が回転時間によって徐々に大きくなってしまう。このため、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態の発生の有無を適切に判定することができない虞がある。   By the way, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 may slightly vary with the passage of the rotation time even during normal operation where the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated. For example, immediately after the start of the rotation of the electric cooling water pump 3, the rotation speed gradually decreases as the rotation time elapses and then tends to stabilize. As described above, the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 fluctuates with the lapse of the rotation time immediately after the start of rotation even during normal operation. Therefore, when the determination value is set to a constant value, The difference between the actual rotation speed and the determination value gradually increases with the rotation time. For this reason, there exists a possibility that the presence or absence of generation | occurrence | production of a state with insufficient lubrication of a bearing cannot be determined appropriately.

そこで本発明では、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させている。これにより、実際の回転速度と判定値との差が比較的小さくなり且つ均一化されるため、回転時間に拘わらず、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態の発生の有無を早期に且つ正確に判定することができる。   Therefore, in the present invention, immediately after the start of the rotation of the electric coolant pump 3, the determination value is decreased stepwise as the rotation time elapses. As a result, the difference between the actual rotational speed and the judgment value becomes relatively small and uniform, so that the presence or absence of insufficient bearing lubrication can be judged early and accurately regardless of the rotational time. can do.

本実施形態では、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度を検出する回転速度検出手段として、電動式冷却水ポンプ3には、駆動源であるモータ(図示なし)の回転数を検出する回転数センサ20が設けられている。   In the present embodiment, as the rotational speed detecting means for detecting the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3, the electric coolant pump 3 includes a rotational speed sensor that detects the rotational speed of a motor (not shown) as a drive source. 20 is provided.

またECU10は、計時手段11と、判定手段12と、変動手段13と、ポンプ制御手段14とを備える。なお、ここでは電動式冷却水ポンプの回転速度の判定処理に必要な手段についてのみ説明するが、勿論、ECU10は、例えば、電気自動車100を制御するための手段等、その他の手段を適宜備えている。   The ECU 10 includes a time measuring unit 11, a determining unit 12, a changing unit 13, and a pump control unit 14. Here, only the means necessary for the determination process of the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump will be described here, but of course, the ECU 10 appropriately includes other means such as a means for controlling the electric vehicle 100, for example. Yes.

計時手段11は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始からの経過時間を計測する。また判定手段12は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したか否かを判定する。例えば、判定手段12は、回転数センサ20による検出値(回転数)を取り込み、次に経過時間当たりの回転数、つまり回転速度を計算し、この回転速度と判定値との関係から、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したか否かを判定する。つまり、判定手段12は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が判定値よりも大きい場合に、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したと判定する。   The time measuring means 11 measures the elapsed time from the start of rotation of the electric coolant pump 3. Further, the determination means 12 determines whether or not the state in which the lubrication of the bearing is insufficient occurs in the electric coolant pump 3. For example, the determination means 12 takes in the detection value (rotation speed) detected by the rotation speed sensor 20, calculates the rotation speed per elapsed time, that is, the rotation speed, and determines the electric type from the relationship between the rotation speed and the determination value. It is determined whether or not a state in which the bearing is insufficiently lubricated has occurred in the cooling water pump 3. That is, the determination unit 12 determines that a state in which the bearing is insufficiently lubricated has occurred when the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 is greater than the determination value.

変動手段13は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させる。すなわち変動手段13は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転時間と回転速度との関係に基づいて設定される回転時間と判定値とのマップ等を参照して、計時手段11の計測結果に基づいて所定のタイミングで判定値を低下させる。ポンプ制御手段14は、判定手段12の判定結果に基づいて電動式冷却水ポンプ3の作動を制御する。例えば、ポンプ制御手段14は、判定手段12が、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生したと判定すると、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転を停止させる。   The fluctuating means 13 decreases the determination value stepwise as the rotation time elapses immediately after the electric cooling water pump 3 starts rotating. That is, the changing means 13 refers to the map of the rotation time and the determination value set based on the relationship between the rotation time and the rotation speed of the electric coolant pump 3 and based on the measurement result of the time measuring means 11. The determination value is lowered at a predetermined timing. The pump control unit 14 controls the operation of the electric coolant pump 3 based on the determination result of the determination unit 12. For example, the pump control unit 14 stops the rotation of the electric coolant pump 3 when the determination unit 12 determines that a state in which the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated has occurred.

電動式冷却水ポンプ3が回転し始めると、図3に示すように、その回転速度は数秒後の時間T1に最大値に達し、その後数分程度の時間T2まで徐々に低下した後に安定するという変化を示す。このため本実施形態に係る変動手段13は、時間T1と時間T2との間の時間T3でまず判定値を所定値Aから所定値Bに低下させ、さらに電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が安定する時間T2付近でさらに判定値を所定値Bから所定値Cに低下させる。この所定値A〜Cの値は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の実際の回転速度を下回らないように、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生した際の回転速度等を考慮して適宜決定されている。   When the electric cooling water pump 3 starts to rotate, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotational speed reaches a maximum value at a time T1 after several seconds, and then stabilizes after gradually decreasing to a time T2 of several minutes. Showing change. For this reason, the fluctuating means 13 according to the present embodiment first reduces the determination value from the predetermined value A to the predetermined value B at a time T3 between the time T1 and the time T2, and further the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 is increased. The determination value is further lowered from the predetermined value B to the predetermined value C in the vicinity of the stabilization time T2. The values of the predetermined values A to C are appropriately determined in consideration of the rotation speed when the bearing is insufficiently lubricated so as not to fall below the actual rotation speed of the electric coolant pump 3. ing.

このように電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に変動(低下)させることで、回転速度と判定値との差が比較的小さく抑えられると共に略均一化される。これにより、回転時間に拘わらず、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態を早期に且つ正確に判定することができる。すなわち、回転時間に拘わらず、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度の異常(上昇)を検出する感度を良好に維持することができる。したがって、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態に起因する電動式冷却水ポンプ3のダメージを未然に防止することができる。   As described above, immediately after the electric cooling water pump 3 starts rotating, the difference between the rotational speed and the determination value can be suppressed to be relatively small by changing (decreasing) the determination value stepwise as the rotation time elapses. In addition, it becomes almost uniform. As a result, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine a state in which the bearing is insufficiently lubricated regardless of the rotation time. That is, the sensitivity for detecting an abnormality (increase) in the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 can be favorably maintained regardless of the rotation time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the electric coolant pump 3 due to insufficient lubrication of the bearing.

なお、本実施形態では、時間T1と時間T2との間に、時間T2を含めて、判定値を2回変動させるようにしたが、勿論、時間T1と時間T2との間に、判定値を1回だけ、もしくは3回以上の複数回変動させるようにしてもよい。これにより、実際の回転速度と判定値との差が実状に応じて均一化されるため、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態の判定精度も必要に応じて向上させることができる。   In the present embodiment, the determination value is changed twice including the time T2 between the time T1 and the time T2. Of course, the determination value is set between the time T1 and the time T2. It may be changed only once or a plurality of times more than three times. As a result, the difference between the actual rotational speed and the determination value is made uniform according to the actual condition, so that the determination accuracy in a state where the bearing is insufficiently lubricated can be improved as necessary.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the vehicle cooling device according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating an example of the relationship between the rotation time and the rotation speed of the electric coolant pump. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

実施形態1において説明したように、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生していない正常運転時であっても、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度には回転時間の経過に伴って多少の変動が生じる。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3を構成するモータ(コイル)の温度が通電によって発生するジュール熱で上昇すると、モータ(コイル)の電気抵抗が増加し、モータ(コイル)への通電電流が次第に減少して電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度は徐々に低下する。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3を間欠作動させる場合、図5に示すように、間欠作動を所定回数繰り返した後の回転速度(点線)は、初期段階の回転速度(実線)よりも遅くなる。   As described in the first embodiment, even during normal operation in which the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 is slightly increased as the rotation time elapses. Variations occur. For example, when the temperature of the motor (coil) constituting the electric coolant pump 3 rises due to Joule heat generated by energization, the electrical resistance of the motor (coil) increases and the energization current to the motor (coil) gradually decreases. Thus, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 gradually decreases. For example, when the electric coolant pump 3 is intermittently operated, the rotational speed (dotted line) after the intermittent operation is repeated a predetermined number of times is slower than the initial rotational speed (solid line), as shown in FIG.

そこで本実施形態では、上述のように電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、電動式冷却水ポンプ3を構成するモータ(コイル)の温度を検出し、その検出結果に応じて判定値をさらに変動させている。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, immediately after the rotation of the electric coolant pump 3 is started, the determination value is decreased stepwise as the rotation time elapses, and the motor ( The temperature of the coil) is detected, and the determination value is further varied according to the detection result.

具体的には、本実施形態では、図4に示すように、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に、そのモータ(コイル)の温度を検出するモータ温度センサ(モータ温度検出手段)21がさらに設けられている。そして変動手段13が、上述のように回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、モータ温度センサ21の検出結果に基づいて判定値をさらに変動させる。本実施形態では、変動手段13が、モータ温度センサ21の検出結果を取り込み、例えば、モータの温度と判定値とのマップ等を参照することにより、電動式冷却水ポンプ3のモータ(コイル)の温度の上昇に伴って判定値を低下させている。   Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the electric cooling water pump 3 is further provided with a motor temperature sensor (motor temperature detecting means) 21 for detecting the temperature of the motor (coil). Yes. Then, the fluctuation means 13 gradually decreases the determination value with the passage of the rotation time as described above, and further varies the determination value based on the detection result of the motor temperature sensor 21. In the present embodiment, the fluctuating means 13 takes in the detection result of the motor temperature sensor 21 and refers to, for example, a map of the temperature of the motor and the determination value or the like of the motor (coil) of the electric coolant pump 3. The judgment value is lowered as the temperature rises.

例えば、図5に示すように、間欠作動の初期段階では、判定値は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度(図中実線で示す)に応じた所定値Aに設定されている。間欠作動を所定回数繰り返しているうちに電動式冷却水ポンプ3のモータ(コイル)の温度が上昇した場合には、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が低下することから(図中点線で示す)、判定値は所定値Aよりも小さい所定値Dに設定される。なお、このように判定値を変動させる回数は、特に限定されず、一回であっても複数回であってもよく、必要に応じて適宜決定されればよい。   For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the initial stage of intermittent operation, the determination value is set to a predetermined value A corresponding to the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 (shown by a solid line in the figure). When the temperature of the motor (coil) of the electric coolant pump 3 rises while repeating the intermittent operation a predetermined number of times, the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 decreases (shown by the dotted line in the figure). ), The determination value is set to a predetermined value D smaller than the predetermined value A. In addition, the frequency | count which fluctuates a determination value in this way is not specifically limited, One time or multiple times may be sufficient, and what is necessary is just to be determined suitably as needed.

このような本実施形態の構成では、実際の回転速度と判定値との差がさらに小さく抑えられると共に略均一化される。したがって、軸受けの潤滑不十分の状態の発生の有無をより早期に且つ正確に判定することができる。   In such a configuration of the present embodiment, the difference between the actual rotation speed and the determination value is further reduced and substantially uniformed. Therefore, the presence or absence of occurrence of insufficient lubrication of the bearing can be determined earlier and accurately.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a vehicle cooling device according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating an example of a relationship between a rotation time and a rotation speed of the electric coolant pump. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

実施形態1において説明したように、軸受けの潤滑不十分の状態が発生していない正常運転時であっても、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度には回転時間の経過に伴って多少の変動が生じる。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に供給される冷却水の温度が上昇すると、冷却水の粘度が低下して電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が上昇する。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3を間欠作動させる場合、図7に示すように、間欠作動を所定回数繰り返した後の回転速度(図中点線で示す)は、初期段階の回転速度(図中実線で示す)よりも速くなる。   As described in the first embodiment, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 slightly varies with the passage of the rotation time even during normal operation where insufficient lubrication of the bearing has not occurred. Occurs. For example, when the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the electric cooling water pump 3 increases, the viscosity of the cooling water decreases and the rotation speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 increases. For example, when the electric cooling water pump 3 is intermittently operated, as shown in FIG. 7, the rotational speed after the intermittent operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (indicated by a dotted line in the figure) is the initial stage rotational speed (solid line in the figure). Faster).

そこで本実施形態では、実施形態1で説明したように電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に供給される冷却水の温度を検出し、その検出結果に応じて判定値をさらに変動させている。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described in the first embodiment, immediately after the rotation of the electric coolant pump 3 is started, the determination value is decreased stepwise as the rotation time elapses, and the electric coolant pump 3 is The temperature of the supplied cooling water is detected, and the determination value is further varied according to the detection result.

具体的には、本実施形態では、図6に示すように、電動式冷却水ポンプ3には、気水分離タンク2から供給される冷却水の温度を検出する水温センサ(水温検出手段)22がさらに設けられている。そして変動手段13が、上述のように回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、水温センサ22の検出結果に基づいて判定値をさらに変動させる。本実施形態では、この変動手段13が、水温センサ22の検出結果を取り込み、冷却水の温度と判定値とのマップ等を参照することにより、冷却水の温度上昇に伴って判定値を上昇させている。   Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the electric cooling water pump 3 includes a water temperature sensor (water temperature detecting means) 22 that detects the temperature of the cooling water supplied from the steam separation tank 2. Is further provided. And the fluctuation | variation means 13 changes a determination value further based on the detection result of the water temperature sensor 22 while reducing a determination value in steps as progress of rotation time as mentioned above. In the present embodiment, the fluctuating means 13 takes in the detection result of the water temperature sensor 22 and refers to a map of the cooling water temperature and the determination value to increase the determination value as the cooling water temperature rises. ing.

例えば、図7に示すように、間欠作動の初期段階では、判定値は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度(図中実線で示す)に応じた所定値Aに設定されている。間欠作動を所定回数繰り返しているうちに冷却水の温度が上昇した場合には、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が上昇することから(図中点線で示す)、判定値が所定値Aよりも大きい所定値Eに設定される。なお判定値を変動させる回数は、特に限定されず、一回であっても複数回であってもよく、必要に応じて適宜決定されればよい。   For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in the initial stage of intermittent operation, the determination value is set to a predetermined value A corresponding to the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 (shown by a solid line in the figure). When the temperature of the cooling water rises while repeating the intermittent operation a predetermined number of times, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 rises (indicated by the dotted line in the figure), so that the determination value is greater than the predetermined value A. Is set to a large predetermined value E. The number of times that the determination value is varied is not particularly limited, and may be one time or a plurality of times, and may be appropriately determined as necessary.

このような本実施形態の構成では、実際の回転速度と判定値との開きがさらに小さく抑えられると共に均一化される。したがって、軸受けの潤滑不十分の状態の発生の有無をより早期に且つ正確に判定することができるようになる。   In such a configuration of the present embodiment, the difference between the actual rotation speed and the determination value is further reduced and uniformed. Therefore, the presence or absence of occurrence of insufficient lubrication of the bearing can be determined earlier and accurately.

なお本実施形態では、水温センサ22を電動式冷却水ポンプ3に設けるようにしたが、水温センサ22を設ける位置は、電動式冷却水ポンプ3に供給される冷却水の温度を検出できれば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3以外の部分、例えば、配水管6等に設けるようにしてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the water temperature sensor 22 is provided in the electric cooling water pump 3. However, the position where the water temperature sensor 22 is provided is electric if the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the electric cooling water pump 3 can be detected.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a vehicle cooling device according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a graph illustrating an example of a relationship between a rotation time and a rotation speed of the electric coolant pump.

実施形態1において説明したように、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態が発生していない正常運転時であっても、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度には回転時間の経過に伴って多少の変動が生じる。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3のモータに印加される印加電圧が変化し、それに伴って電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が変化することがある。例えば、電動式冷却水ポンプ3を間欠作動させる場合、図9に示すように、間欠作動を繰り返すうちに、通常の回転速度(図中実線で示す)よりも速い回転速度(図中点線で示す)を示すことがある。勿論、回転速度は通常よりも遅くなる場合もある。   As described in the first embodiment, even during normal operation in which the bearing is not sufficiently lubricated, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 is slightly increased as the rotation time elapses. Variations occur. For example, the applied voltage applied to the motor of the electric coolant pump 3 may change, and the rotational speed of the electric coolant pump 3 may change accordingly. For example, when the electric cooling water pump 3 is intermittently operated, as shown in FIG. 9, as the intermittent operation is repeated, the rotational speed (indicated by the dotted line in the figure) is higher than the normal rotational speed (indicated by the solid line in the figure). ) May be indicated. Of course, the rotation speed may be slower than usual.

そこで本実施形態では、実施形態1で説明したように電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転開始直後に、回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、電動式冷却水ポンプ3のモータに印加される印加電圧を検出し、その検出結果に応じて判定値をさらに変動させている。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described in the first embodiment, immediately after the rotation of the electric coolant pump 3 is started, the determination value is decreased stepwise as the rotation time elapses, and the electric coolant pump 3 The applied voltage applied to the motor is detected, and the determination value is further varied according to the detection result.

具体的には、本実施形態では、図8に示すように、電動式冷却水ポンプ3には、印加電圧を検出する電圧センサ(電圧検出手段)23が設けられている。勿論、この電圧検出手段の構成は、特に限定されず、電動式冷却水ポンプ3のモータに印加される印加電圧を検出できるものであればよい。例えば、電圧検出手段は、バッテリの電圧を検出してその検出結果から印加電圧を推定するものであってもよい。   Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the electric coolant pump 3 is provided with a voltage sensor (voltage detection means) 23 that detects an applied voltage. Of course, the configuration of the voltage detection means is not particularly limited as long as the voltage applied to the motor of the electric coolant pump 3 can be detected. For example, the voltage detection means may detect the voltage of the battery and estimate the applied voltage from the detection result.

そして変動手段13が、上述のように回転時間の経過に伴って判定値を段階的に低下させると共に、電圧センサ23の検出結果に基づいて判定値をさらに変動させる。本実施形態では、この変動手段13が、電圧センサ23の検出結果を取り込み、印加電圧と判定値(回転速度)とのマップ等を参照し、印加電圧の変動に伴って判定値を変動させている。   The variation means 13 gradually decreases the determination value with the passage of the rotation time as described above, and further varies the determination value based on the detection result of the voltage sensor 23. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation means 13 takes in the detection result of the voltage sensor 23, refers to a map of the applied voltage and the judgment value (rotation speed), etc., and varies the judgment value along with the fluctuation of the applied voltage. Yes.

例えば、図9に示すように、通常の回転速度(図中実線で示す)で回転している場合には、判定値は所定値Aに設定されている。間欠作動を所定回数繰り返しているうちに電動式冷却水ポンプ3への印加電圧が上昇した場合には、電動式冷却水ポンプ3の回転速度が上昇することから(図中点線で示す)、判定値が所定値Aよりも大きい所定値Fに設定されることになる。なお判定値を変動させる回数は、特に限定されず、一回であっても複数回であってもよく、必要に応じて適宜決定されればよい。   For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the determination value is set to a predetermined value A when rotating at a normal rotation speed (indicated by a solid line in the figure). If the voltage applied to the electric cooling water pump 3 increases while repeating the intermittent operation a predetermined number of times, the rotational speed of the electric cooling water pump 3 increases (indicated by the dotted line in the figure). The value is set to a predetermined value F larger than the predetermined value A. The number of times that the determination value is varied is not particularly limited, and may be one time or a plurality of times, and may be appropriately determined as necessary.

このような本実施形態の構成では、実際の回転速度と判定値との差が、さらに小さく抑えられると共に均一化される。したがって、軸受けの潤滑が不十分な状態の発生の有無をより早期に且つ正確に判定することができる。   In such a configuration of the present embodiment, the difference between the actual rotational speed and the determination value is further suppressed and made uniform. Therefore, it can be determined earlier and accurately whether or not the bearing is insufficiently lubricated.
