Description
本発明は高齢者用電動カートに関し、特に家庭等における停電時の照明などの時限電源として利用できるようにした電動カートに関する。 The present invention relates to an electric cart for elderly people, and more particularly to an electric cart that can be used as a timed power source for lighting in the event of a power failure at home or the like.
ハイブリッド自動車や電気自動車に搭載されている大容量の車載バッテリーを外部電源に利用するシステムが提案されている(特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3)。 Systems that use a large-capacity on-board battery mounted on a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle as an external power source have been proposed (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3).
例えば、電気自動車ではAC/DC変換器を備えた専用の制御装置を家庭や充電ステーションなどに設け、制御装置から伸びる電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントに接続し、商用電源の交流電力を制御装置で直流電力に変換し、この直流電力によって車載バッテリーを充電し、充電が終了すると電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントから抜くようになっている。 For example, in an electric vehicle, a dedicated control device equipped with an AC / DC converter is installed in a home or charging station, and the plug of the power cord extending from the control device is connected to the outlet of the electric vehicle to control the AC power of the commercial power supply. The device converts the power into direct current power, charges the vehicle-mounted battery with this direct current power, and when the charging is completed, unplugs the power cord from the outlet of the electric vehicle.
電気自動車の車載バッテリーを外部電源として利用する場合にはDC/AC変換器を搭載した制御装置を用い、制御装置から伸びる電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントに接続し、車載バッテリーの直流電力をDC/AC変換器で交流電力に変換して外部電源として利用することが行われている。 When using an in-vehicle battery of an electric vehicle as an external power source, use a controller equipped with a DC / AC converter, connect the plug of the power cord extending from the controller to the outlet of the electric vehicle, and use the DC power of the in-vehicle battery. Conversion to AC power by a DC / AC converter is used as an external power source.
しかし、特許文献1〜3記載の電源システムでは電気自動車の車載バッテリーの充電が完了すると電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントから抜くようにしているので、例えば夜間の停電時に外部電源として利用しようとすると、懐中電灯などの暗い照明下や真っ暗な状況下で電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントに接続する必要があり、非常に煩わしかった。 However, in the power supply systems described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when the on-vehicle battery of the electric vehicle is fully charged, the power cord plug is unplugged from the outlet of the electric vehicle. Then, it was necessary to connect the plug of the power cord to the outlet of the electric vehicle under dark lighting such as a flashlight or in a completely dark situation, which was very troublesome.
ところで、高齢者用電動カートは昼間に使用して夜間に家庭の商用電源、例えば単相100Vを利用して充電することが行われている。充電は電動カートから伸びるコードのプラグを家庭のコンセントに差してカート搭載のバッテリーを充電し、バッテリーが所定の充電電圧に達すると、充電を自動的に終了させ、朝になると、ユーザーが電源コードのプラグをコンセントから抜いてカートを使用するようになっている。 By the way, an electric cart for elderly people is used in the daytime and charged at night using a commercial commercial power source, for example, a single-phase 100V. Charging is done by plugging the cord plug extending from the electric cart into a household outlet and charging the battery installed in the cart. When the battery reaches the specified charging voltage, charging is automatically terminated. Unplug from the outlet and use the cart.
本発明はかかる高齢者用電動カートの充電方法に着目し、夜間の停電時に照明などの時限電源として自動的に利用できるようにした高齢者用電動カートを提供することを課題とする。 This invention pays attention to the charging method of the electric cart for elderly people, and makes it a subject to provide the electric cart for elderly people automatically used as timed power supplies, such as illumination, at the time of a power failure at night.
そこで、本発明に係る高齢者用電動カートは、充電時に電源コードのプラグを商用電源のコンセントに接続し、コントローラの制御によって、商用電源の交流電力をAC/DC変換器で直流電力に変換させてカート搭載のバッテリーに与えて充電し、バッテリーが所定電圧に達したときにバッテリーの充電を自動停止させる一方、バッテリーの電力をカートの駆動モーターに与えて走行させるようにした高齢者用電動カートにおいて、上記AC/DC変換器の回路を開閉するスイッチ手段と、上記バッテリーの電力を交流電力に変換するDC/AC変換器と、電源コードのプラグが商用電源のコンセントに接続された状態の夜間における商用電源の停電を検知して上記バッテリーの直流電力を上記DC/AC変換器で交流電力に変換させ、この交流電力を上記電源コードから商用電源系に時限電源として与えるとともに、上記スイッチ手段を制御して上記AC/DC変換器の回路を開成する時限電源コントローラと、を備えたことを特徴とする。 Therefore, the electric cart for elderly people according to the present invention connects the plug of the power cord to the outlet of the commercial power source during charging, and converts the AC power of the commercial power source into DC power by the AC / DC converter under the control of the controller. Electric carts for elderly people that charge the battery installed in the cart and charge it, and when the battery reaches a certain voltage, the battery charging is automatically stopped, while the battery power is supplied to the cart drive motor In the nighttime, the switch means for opening and closing the circuit of the AC / DC converter, the DC / AC converter for converting the battery power to AC power, and the plug of the power cord connected to the outlet of the commercial power source The DC power of the battery is converted into AC power by the DC / AC converter by detecting a commercial power failure in AC power with providing a timed power supply to the commercial power supply system from the power cord, characterized in that and a timed power supply controller that opens the circuit of the AC / DC converter by controlling the switch means.
本発明の特徴の1つは夜間の停電を検知したときに、電動カートの車載バッテリーの直流電力を交流電力に変換し、商用電源のコンセントに接続されている電源コードのプラグから商用電源系に与えるようにした点にある。 One of the features of the present invention is that when a power failure at night is detected, the DC power of the on-board battery of the electric cart is converted to AC power, and the power cord plug connected to the outlet of the commercial power supply is switched to the commercial power supply system. It is in the point which gave it.
これにより、夜間停電時に、自動的に電力を供給することができ、夜間照明を確保でき、又夜間停電時に電気自動車の車載バッテリーを外部電源として利用する場合のような、懐中電灯などの暗い照明下や真っ暗な状況下で電源コードのプラグを電気自動車のコンセントに接続するという煩雑さがなく、実用性に優れている。 This makes it possible to automatically supply power during nighttime power outages, secure nighttime lighting, and dark lighting such as flashlights when using the onboard battery of an electric vehicle as an external power source during nighttime power outages. There is no trouble of connecting the plug of the power cord to the outlet of the electric vehicle under the dark or dark condition, and it is excellent in practicality.
また、高齢者用電動カートのバッテリー容量は電気自動車のバッテリーに比較して少ないので、カートのバッテリー電圧が極端に低下しないように短時間の時限電源に使用するようにしている。 Moreover, since the battery capacity of the electric cart for elderly people is small compared with the battery of an electric vehicle, it is used for a timed power supply for a short time so that the battery voltage of the cart is not extremely lowered.
以下、本発明を図面に示す具体例に基づいて詳細に説明する。図1は本発明に係る高齢者用電動カートの好ましい実施形態を示す。図において、高齢者用電動カート10は車体前部にハンドル11が設けられ、車体後部に座部12が設けられ、座部11下側にバッテリー、モーター及び制御装置が内蔵され、高齢者が座部12に座って前方のハンドルを操作してカートを走行させるようになっている。また、ハンドル11の中央には電源スイッチ、速度メータ及び速度調整用摘まみ、バッテリーモニター、電源ランプ、ヘッドランプスイッチ、ホーンスイッチ、モータースイッチ等がレイアウトされている。図3はバッテリー、モーター及び制御装置の具体的な回路構成の1例を示す。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an electric cart for elderly people according to the present invention. In the figure, the elderly
図2は本例の回路構成を示す。図において、20はAC/DC変換器、21はAC/DC変換器20の入力端に接続された電源コード、22は電源コード21の接地極付きの単相プラグ、23はバッテリー、24はモーター、29は電源スイッチが閉成されたときに電源コード21のプラグ22を介して商用電源を入力して交流電力を直流電力に変換してバッテリー23を充電し、バッテリー23が所定電圧に達したときにはブレーカースイッチ26を閉成させて充電を停止する一方、及びモータースイッチ25が閉成されたときにバッテリー23の電力をモーター24に与えてカートを走行させる制御回路板である。
FIG. 2 shows a circuit configuration of this example. In the figure, 20 is an AC / DC converter, 21 is a power cord connected to the input end of the AC /
また、27はバッテリー23の直流電力を交流電力に変換するDC/AC変換器、28は夜間の停電を検知してAC/DC変換器20のスイッチ20Aを開成してAC/DC変換器20への電流の逆流を阻止するとともに、DC/AC変換器27によってバッテリー23の直流電力を交流電力に変換させて電源コード21を通して商用電源系に与える時限電源コントローラである。
夜間に高齢者用電動カート10のバッテリー23を充電する場合、モータースイッチ25を開成(OFF)させ、電源コード21のプラグ22を家庭の商用電源のコンセントに接続する。
When the
すると、制御回路板29がブレーカースイッチ26を開成させ、商用電源の交流電力がAC/DC変換器20の入力端に印加され、AC/DC変換器20で直流電力に変換されてバッテリー23に与えられ、バッテリー23が充電される。バッテリー23が所定の電圧に達すると、制御回路板29がブレーカースイッチ26を閉成(ON)させ、これによってAC/DC変換器20の入力端への商用電源の交流電力の印加が停止され、充電動作が自動的に停止される。このとき、電源コード21のプラグ22は商用電源のコンセントに接続されたままである。
Then, the
夜間において停電が発生すると、電源コード21を流れる電流がゼロになるので、時限電源コントローラ28で商用電源の停電を検知され、AC/DC変換器20の回路に設けたスイッチ20Aを開成し、AC/DC変換器20に電流が流れるのを阻止するとともに、DC/AC変換器27でバッテリー23の直流電力が交流電力に変換され、この交流電力が短時間、例えば30分間、電源コード21を通して商用電源に向けて出力され、これによって照明灯が時限点灯されるので、夜間照明を確保することができ、必要な作業を行うことができる。
