Description

本発明は、例えば燃料電池自動車の燃料タンクのような圧力容器に水素を充填する技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for filling a pressure vessel such as a fuel tank of a fuel cell vehicle with hydrogen.

図5で示すように、燃料電池自動車300の燃料タンク301へ水素を充填する水素供給設備では、水素供給(充填)装置200から水素充填ホース201、水素充填ノズル202を介して、車両の燃料タンク301内に水素が充填される。充填に際しては、水素充填ノズル202は図5では図示しない車両側のコネクタと一体的に結合されている。
水素供給(充填)装置200は、水素供給配管(図5では図示せず)を介して水素供給源(図5では図示せず)と連通しており、その内部には車両側に供給される水素を冷却する冷却装置(図5では図示せず:例えば、特許文献1参照)が内蔵されている。
As shown in FIG. 5, in the hydrogen supply facility for filling the fuel tank 301 of the fuel cell vehicle 300 with hydrogen, the fuel tank of the vehicle is supplied from the hydrogen supply (filling) device 200 through the hydrogen filling hose 201 and the hydrogen filling nozzle 202. 301 is filled with hydrogen. At the time of filling, the hydrogen filling nozzle 202 is integrally coupled to a vehicle-side connector (not shown in FIG. 5).
The hydrogen supply (filling) device 200 is in communication with a hydrogen supply source (not shown in FIG. 5) via a hydrogen supply pipe (not shown in FIG. 5), and is supplied to the vehicle side inside thereof. A cooling device for cooling hydrogen (not shown in FIG. 5; see, for example, Patent Document 1) is incorporated.

燃料電池自動車の燃料タンクへ水素を充填するための規格では、充填率(SOC)を管理することが求められている。
係る規格に対応するため、従来技術では、燃料電池自動車の燃料タンク内の温度と圧力を計測し、計測された温度と圧力からその時点(制御サイクル)における水素の圧縮係数と密度を求めている。そして、燃料タンク内の圧力70MPa、温度15℃の密度(40.2g/L)を充填率100%として、水素の充填中に充填率100%に到達した場合に、水素充填を停止している。
ここで、計測された温度と圧力からその時点(制御サイクル)における水素の圧縮係数を求める演算は非常に複雑であり、高度な演算機能を有する情報処理機器が必要となる。
しかし、水素供給設備に高度な演算機能を有する情報処理機器を設置することは困難である。一方、一般的なレベルの演算機能を有する情報処理機器を備えた水素供給設備では、水素充填の制御に際して、制御機構に大きな負荷を強いることになり、水素供給設備の稼動に悪影響を及ぼしてしまう。
In the standard for filling hydrogen into the fuel tank of a fuel cell vehicle, it is required to manage the filling rate (SOC).
In order to comply with such standards, the conventional technology measures the temperature and pressure in the fuel tank of a fuel cell vehicle, and obtains the compression coefficient and density of hydrogen at that point (control cycle) from the measured temperature and pressure. . Then, assuming that the pressure in the fuel tank is 70 MPa and the density at a temperature of 15 ° C. (40.2 g / L) is 100%, hydrogen filling is stopped when the filling rate reaches 100% during filling with hydrogen. .
Here, the calculation for obtaining the compression coefficient of hydrogen at the time (control cycle) from the measured temperature and pressure is very complicated, and an information processing device having an advanced calculation function is required.
However, it is difficult to install an information processing device having an advanced calculation function in the hydrogen supply facility. On the other hand, in a hydrogen supply facility equipped with an information processing device having a general level of calculation function, a heavy load is imposed on the control mechanism when controlling hydrogen filling, which adversely affects the operation of the hydrogen supply facility. .

その他の従来技術として、水素が車両タンクに入る以前の段階で冷却する技術が存在する(特許文献1参照)。
しかし、係る技術においても、制御サイクル毎に密度を演算する必要があるため、水素供給装置の制御機構に大きな負荷が掛かるという上述の問題を解消してはいない。
As another conventional technique, there is a technique for cooling hydrogen before entering the vehicle tank (see Patent Document 1).
However, even in such a technique, since it is necessary to calculate the density for each control cycle, the above-described problem that a heavy load is applied to the control mechanism of the hydrogen supply apparatus has not been solved.

特許第4071648号公報Japanese Patent No. 4071648

上述の構成を具備する本発明によれば、充填中の各瞬間あるいは各制御サイクル(例えば、100msec毎に行われる制御サイクル)において、車両タンク(21)の温度を計測し、その温度に対応する「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を求め、その瞬間あるいは制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内圧力と、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」とを比較し、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下である場合に、水素の充填を行なっている。そして本発明によれば、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合には、直ちに充填を中止している。
そのため本発明によれば、水素の充填中、安全な水素充填を行うことが出来る領域(図1の特性βよりも下方の領域で、且つ、タンク内温度作動限界θよりも右側の領域)を外れてしまうことはない。
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the temperature of the vehicle tank (21) is measured at each instant during filling or at each control cycle (for example, a control cycle performed every 100 msec) and corresponds to the temperature. Find “pressure at which filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” and compare the pressure in the vehicle tank at that moment or in the control cycle with “pressure at which filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” When the pressure in the vehicle tank is equal to or less than “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold value)”, hydrogen filling is performed. According to the present invention, when the pressure in the vehicle tank exceeds “the pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”, the filling is immediately stopped.
Therefore, according to the present invention, a region in which safe hydrogen filling can be performed during hydrogen filling (a region below the characteristic β in FIG. 1 and a right side from the temperature operating limit θ in the tank) is performed. It will not come off.

本発明において、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下の状態を保持したまま、充填終了圧力(終了圧力)に到達したならば、水素充填が正常に終了したと判断して、水素充填終了に必要な所定の処理を行うことが出来る。
すなわち本発明によれば、水素の充填中、安全な水素充填を行うことが出来る領域(図1の特性βよりも下方の領域で、且つ、タンク内温度作動限界θよりも右側の領域)を外れてしまうことがなく、水素充填を安全に終了させることが出来る。
In the present invention, if the pressure in the vehicle tank reaches a filling end pressure (end pressure) while maintaining a state where the pressure in the vehicle tank is equal to or less than “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”, hydrogen filling is normal. Therefore, it is possible to perform predetermined processing necessary for the completion of hydrogen filling.
That is, according to the present invention, the region in which safe hydrogen filling can be performed during the filling of hydrogen (the region below the characteristic β in FIG. 1 and the right side of the temperature operating limit θ in the tank) is performed. The hydrogen filling can be safely terminated without losing.

ここで、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」は、制御サイクル毎に、車両タンク内温度の計測結果より、予め決定された特性(例えば、図1の特性β:車両タンク内温度−「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」特性)、テーブル(車両タンク内温度と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」との関係を表示するテーブル、表)、数式(車両タンク内温度と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」との関係を表示する数式)を用いて、容易に演算、決定することが出来る。
そして、制御サイクル毎に決定された「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」と車両タンク内圧力とを比較すれば、その制御サイクルにおいて水素充填を続行するか否かを判断することが出来る。
そのため本発明によれば、従来技術における密度演算のような複雑を演算を行う必要が無く、制御装置(10)に多大な負担を掛けてしまう情報処理は行なわれず、その結果、水素充填の制御や設備に悪影響を及ぼしてしまうこともない。
Here, “the pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” is a characteristic (for example, characteristic β: vehicle in FIG. 1) determined in advance from the measurement result of the vehicle tank temperature for each control cycle. Tank temperature-"pressure (pressure threshold) characteristic at which filling rate is 100%" and table (vehicle tank temperature and "pressure at which filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)" Tables and tables to be displayed, and mathematical formulas (mathematical formulas that display the relationship between the temperature in the vehicle tank and “pressure at which filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”) can be easily calculated and determined. I can do it.
Then, by comparing the “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” determined for each control cycle with the pressure in the vehicle tank, it is determined whether or not to continue hydrogen filling in that control cycle. I can do it.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to perform a complicated calculation like the density calculation in the prior art, and information processing that places a great burden on the control device (10) is not performed. And will not adversely affect equipment.

以下、添付図面を参照して、本発明の実施形態について説明する。
最初に図1を参照して、図示の実施形態における作動原理を説明する。
図1は「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)−温度特性」を示している。
図1において、横軸は車両タンク内温度、縦軸は圧力を示している。上述した様に、充填率100%(燃料タンク内の圧力70MPa、温度15℃の密度が40.2g/L)となる圧力と車両タンク内温度との間には相関関係があり、当該相関関係は図1では特性βとして示されている。
図1において、符号θは、車両タンク内温度の許容限界値であるタンク内温度作動限界(図1では符号θで示す:例えば85℃)を示している。
図1において、特性βよりも下方の領域であり、且つ、タンク内温度作動限界θ(例えば85℃)よりも左側の領域(図1において、ラインマーカーの点線で囲った領域α)の範囲内であれば、安全に水素を充填することが出来る。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the operation principle in the illustrated embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 shows “pressure (pressure threshold value) -temperature characteristic at which the filling rate becomes 100%”.
In FIG. 1, the horizontal axis indicates the temperature inside the vehicle tank, and the vertical axis indicates the pressure. As described above, there is a correlation between the pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure in the fuel tank is 70 MPa, density at a temperature of 15 ° C. is 40.2 g / L) and the temperature in the vehicle tank, and the correlation Is shown as characteristic β in FIG.
In FIG. 1, the symbol θ indicates an in-tank temperature operation limit (indicated by the symbol θ in FIG. 1: for example, 85 ° C.) that is an allowable limit value of the vehicle tank temperature.
In FIG. 1, it is a region below the characteristic β and within a region on the left side of the tank temperature operation limit θ (for example, 85 ° C.) (region α surrounded by the dotted line of the line marker in FIG. 1). If so, it can be safely filled with hydrogen.

図1における特性δ及び特性εは、水素充填特性の例示である。
特性δで示す水素充填においては、充填中、特性βよりも下方の領域で且つタンク内温度作動限界θよりも左側の領域を外れてしまうことはなく、特性βで示す充填率100%に対応する圧力まで到達して、終了する。すなわち特性δで示す水素充填により、安全な水素充填が行われる。
一方、特性εで示す水素充填では、符号εεで示す領域において、圧力が特性線βを超過している。すなわち、特性εで示す水素充填では、領域εεに入った時点で充填率100%に対応する圧力を越えてしまっており、領域εεに入った時点で充填率100%を超過しているので、水素充填が中止されている。
Characteristic δ and characteristic ε in FIG. 1 are examples of hydrogen filling characteristics.
The hydrogen filling indicated by the characteristic δ does not deviate from the area below the characteristic β and the left side of the temperature operating limit θ in the tank during filling, and corresponds to a filling rate of 100% indicated by the characteristic β. To reach the pressure to finish. That is, safe hydrogen filling is performed by hydrogen filling indicated by the characteristic δ.
On the other hand, in the hydrogen filling indicated by the characteristic ε, the pressure exceeds the characteristic line β in the region indicated by the sign εε. That is, in the hydrogen filling indicated by the characteristic ε, the pressure corresponding to the filling rate of 100% is exceeded when the region εε is entered, and the filling rate exceeds 100% when the region εε is entered. Hydrogen filling has been stopped.

水素充填において、充填中の各瞬間あるいは各制御サイクル(例えば、100msec毎の制御サイクル)において、車両タンク内の温度が計測されていれば、その計測結果と図1の特性βから、当該瞬間あるいは制御サイクルにおける「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を求めることが出来る。
ここで、特性β(温度−圧力のしきい値特性)のみならず、車両タンク内温度の計測結果と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」の関係(特性)を示すテーブル(図示せず)や数式から、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を求めることが可能である。
なお、温度と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」との特性βは例示であり、図1の特性線に限定されるものではない。同様に、温度と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」との関連を示すテーブル(図示せず)や数式も、種々の条件によりケース・バイ・ケースに決定されるべきである。
In hydrogen filling, if the temperature in the vehicle tank is measured at each moment during filling or at each control cycle (for example, control cycle every 100 msec), from the measurement result and the characteristic β in FIG. The “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (the threshold value of pressure)” in the control cycle can be obtained.
Here, not only the characteristic β (temperature-pressure threshold characteristic) but also the relationship (characteristic) between the measurement result of the temperature in the vehicle tank and “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” is shown. From a table (not shown) or a mathematical expression, it is possible to obtain “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”.
The characteristic β between the temperature and “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” is an example, and is not limited to the characteristic line in FIG. Similarly, tables (not shown) and mathematical expressions showing the relationship between temperature and “pressure at which filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” should be determined on a case-by-case basis according to various conditions. It is.

「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を求めたならば、次にその瞬間あるいは制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内圧力と、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」とを比較する。
その結果、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下であれば、特性δで示す水素充填と同様に、安全な範囲内で充填がされていると判断される。従って、さらに水素充填を継続することが出来る。
一方、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合(例えば、特性εで示す領域εεに入った場合)、安全に水素充填を出来る領域から外れたと判断して、充填を中止する。
Once the "pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)" is obtained, the vehicle tank pressure at that moment or in the control cycle and the "pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold) ) ".
As a result, if the pressure in the vehicle tank is equal to or less than “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold value)”, the filling is performed within a safe range, similar to the hydrogen filling indicated by the characteristic δ. To be judged. Therefore, further hydrogen filling can be continued.
On the other hand, when the pressure in the vehicle tank exceeds “the pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” (for example, when the vehicle enters the region εε indicated by the characteristic ε), the vehicle tank can be safely filled with hydrogen. Judging that it has come off, the filling is stopped.

図1を参照して上述した様に、図示の実施形態における制御では、制御サイクル毎に、当該制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内温度に対応する「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を決定し、当該制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内圧力と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を比較し、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下であれば充填を続行し、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を越えていれば充填を中止するようにしている。
これにより、領域α(安全に水素が充填できる領域)内でのみ、水素充填を行うことが可能になる。
ここで、上述した水素充填における制御では、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」は、充填中(制御サイクル毎に)、常に変動する。図示の実施形態では、当該変動するしきい値と、車両タンク内圧力とを比較して、充填を続けるべきであるか中止するべきであるかを判断する。
As described above with reference to FIG. 1, in the control in the illustrated embodiment, for each control cycle, “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold) corresponding to the temperature in the vehicle tank in the control cycle. And the pressure in the vehicle tank in the control cycle is compared with the “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”. If the vehicle tank pressure exceeds the “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold value)”, the filling is stopped.
This makes it possible to perform hydrogen filling only in the region α (region where hydrogen can be safely filled).
Here, in the control in the hydrogen filling described above, the “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” constantly fluctuates during filling (for each control cycle). In the illustrated embodiment, the fluctuating threshold value is compared with the vehicle tank pressure to determine whether to continue or stop filling.

充填圧力比較ブロック12では、車両タンク21内の圧力の計測結果と、圧力しきい値決定ブロック11から送信された「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」と比較する。そして、車両タンク21内の圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合に、水素充填を中止する旨の制御信号を、信号ラインSo1及び出力側インターフェイス16を介して、水素充填中止機構4に送信する。
一方、車両タンク21内の圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下であれば、その旨の比較結果を終了圧力比較ブロック13に送信する。
The measurement result of the vehicle tank pressure measurement device (vehicle tank pressure sensor) 24 input to the control device 10 is transmitted to the filling pressure comparison block 12 and the end pressure comparison block 13.
The filling pressure comparison block 12 compares the measurement result of the pressure in the vehicle tank 21 with the “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” transmitted from the pressure threshold determination block 11.

そして、当該比較結果に基づき、車両タンク21内の圧力が充填終了圧力(終了圧力)に達した場合に、水素充填を終了する旨の制御信号を、信号ラインSo4及び出力側インターフェイス16を介して、水素充填終了機構35に発信する。
The end pressure comparison block 13 receives the comparison result in the filling pressure comparison block 12 that “the pressure in the vehicle tank 21 is equal to or lower than the pressure (pressure threshold value) at which the filling rate is 100%”. At the same time, the measurement result of the pressure in the vehicle tank 21 is received and compared with the filling end pressure (end pressure) taken from the storage device 14.

Then, it transmits to the hydrogen filling end mechanism 35.

次に主として図4を参照して、図1、図3をも参照しつつ、第1実施形態における水素充填の制御を説明する。
図4のステップS1では、水素充填装置100側の充填ノズル(水素充填ノズル)3を車両側の車両タンクのコネクタ22に接続させ、水素供給源1から車両タンク21に水素ガスの充填(供給)が可能な状態にする。その際に、車両通信を成立させて、車両タンク21に関するデータ(例えば、温度データや圧力データ)を取得する。そしてステップS2に進む。
なお、車両通信により通信される前記車両からのデータは、所定の制御サイクル毎に(例えば、100msec毎に)、車両20から制御装置10へ送信される。
Next, mainly referring to FIG. 4, the hydrogen filling control in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.
In step S1 of FIG. 4, the filling nozzle (hydrogen filling nozzle) 3 on the hydrogen filling device 100 side is connected to the vehicle tank connector 22 on the vehicle side, and hydrogen gas is charged (supplied) from the hydrogen supply source 1 to the vehicle tank 21. Make it possible. In that case, vehicle communication is established and the data (for example, temperature data and pressure data) regarding the vehicle tank 21 are acquired. Then, the process proceeds to step S2.
Note that data from the vehicle communicated by vehicle communication is transmitted from the vehicle 20 to the control device 10 every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 100 msec).

ステップS2では車両タンク21の容量、初期圧力、外気温度から昇圧率、充填停止圧力を設定し、ステップS3で車両タンク21への水素充填を開始する。そしてステップS4に進む。
ステップS4では、制御装置10は、車両通信機能により取得した車両タンク内温度計測装置23の計測結果(車両タンク内温度)や、車両タンク内圧力計測装置24の計測結果(車両タンク内圧力)を受信したか否かを判断する。
車両タンク内温度、車両タンク内圧力を受信していれば(ステップS4が「YES」)ステップS5に進む。受信していない場合には(ステップS4が「NO」)には、ステップS4が「NO」のループを繰り返す。
In step S2, the pressure increase rate and filling stop pressure are set from the capacity, initial pressure, and outside air temperature of the vehicle tank 21, and hydrogen filling into the vehicle tank 21 is started in step S3. Then, the process proceeds to step S4.
In step S4, the control device 10 displays the measurement result (vehicle tank temperature) of the vehicle tank temperature measurement device 23 acquired by the vehicle communication function and the measurement result (vehicle tank pressure) of the vehicle tank pressure measurement device 24. It is determined whether or not it has been received.
If the vehicle tank internal temperature and the vehicle tank internal pressure are received ("YES" in step S4), the process proceeds to step S5. If it has not been received (“NO” at step S4), the loop of “NO” at step S4 is repeated.

ステップS5では、制御装置10は車両タンク内温度データを取得する。
続くステップS6では、ステップS5で取得した車両タンク内温度データに対応する「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を、その制御サイクルにおける圧力のしきい値として、特性βを参照して求める。
ここで、特性ベータを用いることなく、図示しないテーブルや数式から、車両タンク内温度と「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を求めてもよい。
In step S5, the control device 10 acquires vehicle tank temperature data.
In the following step S6, the characteristic β is set with the “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” corresponding to the vehicle tank temperature data acquired in step S5 as the pressure threshold in the control cycle. Seek and ask.
Here, without using the characteristic beta, the temperature in the vehicle tank and “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” may be obtained from a table or formula (not shown).

ステップS7では、制御装置10が、当該制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内圧力計測装置(車両タンク内圧力センサ)24の計測結果である車両タンク内の圧力データを取得する。
なお、ステップS7は、ステップS5の前でも、ステップS5とステップS6の間でも良い。さらに、ステップS5とステップS7を同時に行なってもよい。
In step S <b> 7, the control device 10 acquires pressure data in the vehicle tank, which is a measurement result of the vehicle tank pressure measuring device (vehicle tank pressure sensor) 24 in the control cycle.
Step S7 may be performed before step S5 or between step S5 and step S6. Furthermore, step S5 and step S7 may be performed simultaneously.

次のステップS8では、ステップS7で取得した車両タンク内の圧力(計測値)と、ステップS6で求めた「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」とを比較する。
「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合は(ステップS8が「YES」)、ステップS9に進む。
一方、「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下の場合は(ステップS8が「NO」)、ステップS11に進む。
In the next step S8, the pressure in the vehicle tank (measured value) acquired in step S7 is compared with the “pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” obtained in step S6.
If “the pressure in the vehicle tank” exceeds “the pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” (step S8 is “YES”), the process proceeds to step S9.
On the other hand, if “the pressure in the vehicle tank” is equal to or less than “the pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)” (step S8 is “NO”), the process proceeds to step S11.

ステップ9(「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合)では、車両タンクにおける水素の充填率が100%を超えており、安全に水素充填が出来る状態ではないと判断し、「水素充填中に異常あり」と判断して、ステップS10に進む。
ステップS10では、車両タンクにおける水素の充填率が100%を超えたことを受け、水素充填中止機構4を作動し(「閉」の状態にせしめ)、車両タンク21への水素充填を中止する。それと同時に、水素充填を中止した旨の警報を、表示装置7等から出力して、制御を終了する。
In step 9 (“the pressure in the vehicle tank” exceeds “the pressure at which the filling rate is 100% (pressure threshold)”), the filling rate of hydrogen in the vehicle tank exceeds 100%, It is determined that it is not in a state where hydrogen can be safely charged, it is determined that there is an abnormality during hydrogen filling, and the process proceeds to step S10.
In step S10, in response to the hydrogen filling rate in the vehicle tank exceeding 100%, the hydrogen filling stopping mechanism 4 is operated (“closed” state) to stop filling the vehicle tank 21 with hydrogen. At the same time, an alarm indicating that hydrogen filling has been stopped is output from the display device 7 or the like, and the control is terminated.

一方、ステップS11(「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下の場合)では、車両タンク21内の圧力(計測値)と、記憶装置14から取込んだ充填終了圧力(終了圧力)と比較する。
「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填終了圧力(終了圧力)」以上となった場合(ステップS11が「YES」)は、ステップS12に進む。
一方、「車両タンク内の圧力」が、「充填終了圧力(終了圧力)」に達しない場合(ステップS11が「NO」)は、水素充填は安全に行われているが、必要な充填は完了していない旨の判断をして、ステップS4に戻り、水素充填を継続する。
On the other hand, in step S11 (when “the pressure in the vehicle tank” is equal to or less than “the pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)”), the pressure in the vehicle tank 21 (measured value) and the storage device 14 is compared with the filling end pressure (end pressure) taken from 14.
When the “pressure in the vehicle tank” is equal to or higher than “filling end pressure (end pressure)” (step S11 is “YES”), the process proceeds to step S12.
On the other hand, when the “pressure in the vehicle tank” does not reach the “filling end pressure (end pressure)” (step S11 is “NO”), hydrogen filling is performed safely, but necessary filling is completed. It is determined that it has not been performed, and the process returns to step S4 to continue the hydrogen filling.

ステップS12では、車両タンク21における充填圧力が、充填終了圧力(終了圧力)に達した(以上となった)と判断し、水素充填が正常に終了したと判断して、ステップS13に進む。
ステップS13では、別途定められた充填終了のシーケンスに従って、車両タンク21への水素充填を終了する。
In step S12, it is determined that the filling pressure in the vehicle tank 21 has reached (becomes) the filling end pressure (end pressure), and it is determined that the hydrogen filling has ended normally, and the process proceeds to step S13.
In step S13, the filling of hydrogen into the vehicle tank 21 is terminated according to a separately defined filling end sequence.

上述した様に、水素充填装置100側の車両通信機能及び/又は車両20側の車両通信機能が故障した場合や、車両通信機能がない車両に水素充填を行う場合には、制御装置10が車両タンク21内の温度データ、圧力データを取得することが出来ない。
その場合には、図4では示されていないが、第2実施形態で後述するのと同様に、水素供給配管温度計測装置8、水素供給配管圧力計測装置9で計測した水素供給配管5の温度、圧力から、車両タンク内温度及び車両タンク内圧力の推定値を求め、当該推定値に基づいて制御を行なう。
As described above, when the vehicle communication function on the hydrogen filling device 100 side and / or the vehicle communication function on the vehicle 20 side fails, or when the vehicle without the vehicle communication function is filled with hydrogen, the control device 10 is The temperature data and pressure data in the tank 21 cannot be acquired.
In that case, although not shown in FIG. 4, the temperature of the hydrogen supply pipe 5 measured by the hydrogen supply pipe temperature measuring device 8 and the hydrogen supply pipe pressure measuring device 9 as described later in the second embodiment. The estimated values of the vehicle tank temperature and the vehicle tank pressure are obtained from the pressure, and control is performed based on the estimated values.

図2〜図4の第1実施形態によれば、充填中の各制御サイクル(例えば、100msec毎に行われる制御サイクル)において、車両タンク21の温度を計測し、計測された車両タンク24内の温度に対応する「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を当該制御サイクルにおける車両タンク内圧力のしきい値として求める。そして、車両タンク内圧力の計測結果と、「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」とを比較する。
その結果、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」以下である場合には、水素充填を安全に行うことが出来る状態にあると判断して、水素の充填を続行する。一方、車両タンク内圧力が「充填率100%となる圧力(圧力のしきい値)」を超えた場合には、水素充填を安全に行うことが出来る状態ではないと判断して、直ちに充填を中止する。
そのため第1実施形態によれば、水素の安全な充填が実行される。
According to 1st Embodiment of FIGS. 2-4, in each control cycle (for example, control cycle performed every 100 msec) during filling, the temperature of the vehicle tank 21 is measured, and the measured inside of the vehicle tank 24 is measured. The “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)” corresponding to the temperature is obtained as the threshold value of the vehicle tank pressure in the control cycle. Then, the measurement result of the pressure in the vehicle tank is compared with “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)”.
As a result, when the vehicle tank pressure is equal to or less than "filling rate of 100% and becomes pressure (pressure threshold)", it is determined that a state that can be done safely hydrogen filling, the hydrogen Continue filling. On the other hand, if the pressure in the vehicle tank exceeds the “pressure at which the filling rate becomes 100% (pressure threshold)”, it is determined that the hydrogen filling is not safe and the filling is performed immediately. Discontinue.
Therefore, according to the first embodiment, safe filling of hydrogen is performed.

また、図示の実施形態では、コンピュータ等の情報処理装置で構成された制御装置10、10Aにより自動制御がされているが、オペレータによる判断に基づいて水素充填を継続するか中止するかを判断することが可能である。
