Description

  The present invention relates to control of a vehicle having a socket in a room that can supply power to an electric device operating with AC power assuming a commercial power source.

  Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2013-056646 (Patent Document 1) discloses that a power supply cable connected to a socket provided in a vehicle interior can be supplied to an electrical device outside the vehicle by pulling out the power supply cable from the vehicle interior to the vehicle exterior. A vehicle is disclosed.

JP 2013-056646 A

  By the way, when an electric device outside the vehicle is connected to a socket provided in the vehicle interior using a power feeding cable, it is desirable to suppress the movement of the vehicle. However, since communication is not performed between the electric device connected to the socket and the vehicle, a user operation is required to suppress the movement of the vehicle. As a result, the user's operation may become complicated.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle that appropriately suppresses the movement of the vehicle during external power feeding of the vehicle by a simple operation of the user. .

  A vehicle according to an aspect of the present invention is provided when a plug connected to an electric device that is provided in a vehicle interior and operates with AC power assuming a commercial power source can be inserted, and the plug is inserted. A socket that allows the inserted plug to rotate in a predetermined direction from the initial position to the first angle, a detection device that detects that the socket has rotated from the initial position to the first angle, and a vehicle that is mounted on the vehicle and supplied to the socket A power storage device serving as a power source for the AC power and a control device for controlling a supply state of the AC power to the socket. When the detection device detects that the socket has rotated from the initial position to the first angle, the control device supplies the AC power to the socket in a state where movement of the vehicle is restricted.

  If it does in this way, AC power will be supplied to a socket in the state where movement of vehicles was restricted by rotating a plug inserted in a socket from the initial position to a predetermined angle. The operation of rotating the socket is a simple operation that can be performed accompanying the operation of inserting the plug into the socket. Therefore, the movement of the vehicle can be appropriately suppressed during the external power feeding of the vehicle by a simple operation of the user.

  Preferably, the socket is provided with a mechanism that prevents the socket from rotating from the initial position to the first angle when the vehicle is in a movable state.

  In this way, when the vehicle is in a movable state, the socket cannot be rotated from the initial position to a predetermined angle, so that it is possible to prevent the vehicle from being in a restricted state. . Therefore, the state in which the vehicle can move can be maintained.

  More preferably, the socket is rotatable in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction from the initial position, in addition to being able to rotate the inserted plug in the predetermined direction from the initial position. The detection device detects that the socket has been rotated in a predetermined direction from the initial position to the first angle, and that the socket has been rotated in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction from the initial position to the second angle. The control device supplies AC power to the socket in a state in which the movement of the vehicle is permitted when the detection device detects that the socket has rotated in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction from the initial position to the second angle.

  In this case, either the state in which the AC power is supplied to the socket while suppressing the movement of the vehicle or the state in which the AC power is supplied to the socket while allowing the movement of the vehicle is set as the rotation direction of the socket. It becomes possible to select by. Therefore, it is possible to select a vehicle state when AC power is supplied to the socket by a simple operation of the user.

  According to the present invention, the plug inserted into the socket is rotated from the initial position to the first angle, whereby AC power is supplied to the socket in a state where movement of the vehicle is restricted. The operation of rotating the socket is a simple operation that can be performed accompanying the operation of inserting the plug into the socket. Therefore, the vehicle which suppresses a movement of a vehicle appropriately at the time of external electric power feeding of a vehicle by simple operation of a user can be provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 10 includes a gasoline engine unit 220, a motor generator unit 230, a battery unit 240, a conversion device 250, a control device 260, a display device 262, and a vehicle interior socket unit 280. It is a hybrid vehicle equipped with.

  The motor generator unit 230 generates a driving torque for rotating the driving wheels 210 by the electric power supplied from the battery unit 240 and operates as a generator driven by the gasoline engine unit 220. As the battery unit 240, for example, a secondary battery such as a nickel metal hydride battery, a lithium ion battery, or a lead storage battery is used.

  The vehicle interior socket 280 is provided in a vehicle interior (hereinafter also referred to as “vehicle interior”) which is a boarding space for the vehicle 10. The vehicle interior socket portion 280 is provided, for example, at a foot of a seat in the vehicle interior, a console box provided between the driver seat and the passenger seat, an instrument panel, or the like.

  The vehicle interior socket part 280 is electrically connected to the battery part 240. A conversion device 250 is provided on the electric circuit that connects the vehicle interior socket 280 and the battery unit 240. The converter 250 functions as an AC / DC converter, and converts the DC power supplied from the battery unit 240 into predetermined AC power. In the present embodiment, conversion device 250 converts, for example, DC power supplied from battery unit 240 into 100 V AC power assuming a commercial power supply. The vehicle interior socket section 280 includes one or more sockets into which plugs connected to electric devices operating with AC power assuming a commercial power source can be inserted.

  The control device 260 controls the operation of the vehicle 10. Specifically, the control device 260 controls the operation of the gasoline engine unit 220, the operation of the motor generator unit 230, the charging / discharging in the battery unit 240, and the operation of the conversion device 250. For example, even when the system for running the vehicle 10 is stopped, the control device 260 can perform a predetermined operation such as execution of a system activation process and an output process described later.

  The display device 262 is provided in the vehicle 10 and displays predetermined information according to a control signal from the control device 260. The display device 262 is configured by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), a display lamp having a predetermined shape (for example, a rectangular shape), or the like.

  In the vehicle 10 having the above-described configuration, the electrical device brought into the vehicle interior can be used by the socket of the vehicle interior socket portion 280, and the plug of the electrical device outside the vehicle 10 can be used in the vehicle interior. By pulling in and connecting to the socket of the vehicle interior socket portion 280, it is possible to use an electric device outside the vehicle 10.

  When the plug of the electric device outside the vehicle 10 is pulled into the vehicle interior and connected to the socket of the vehicle interior socket portion 280, it is desirable to use the electric device with the movement of the vehicle 10 suppressed. However, since communication is not performed between the vehicle 10 and the electric device connected to the socket of the vehicle interior socket portion 280, a user operation is required to suppress the movement of the vehicle 10. As a result, the user's operation may become complicated.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the vehicle 10 indicates that the plug inserted in the socket can be rotated in a predetermined direction from the initial position to a predetermined angle, and that the socket has been rotated from the initial position to the predetermined angle. And a detecting device for detecting. Control device 260 supplies AC power to the socket in a state where movement of vehicle 10 is restricted when the detection device detects that the socket has rotated in a predetermined direction from the initial position to a predetermined angle. .

  If it does in this way, AC power will be supplied to a socket in the state where movement of vehicles 10 was restricted by rotating a plug inserted in a socket from the initial position to a predetermined angle. The operation of rotating the socket is a simple operation that can be performed accompanying the operation of inserting the plug into the socket. Therefore, the movement of the vehicle can be appropriately suppressed during the external power feeding of the vehicle by a simple operation of the user.

  Below, the detailed structure of the vehicle interior socket part 280 in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the vehicle interior socket 280 in the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a state before the socket is rotated. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state after the rotation operation of the socket.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the vehicle interior socket portion 280 includes a cylindrical socket 284 whose upper surface portion is exposed to the vehicle interior side, and a base portion having a circular through hole in which the socket 284 can be rotatably accommodated. 285 and a detection device 281 that detects that the socket 284 has rotated by a first angle in a predetermined direction. Two sets of detection devices 281 and sockets 284 are provided on the base portion 285.

  The socket 284 has a terminal hole having a predetermined shape formed on the upper surface of the cylinder on the vehicle interior side, and the terminal inside the socket 284 is connected to the conversion device 250. The predetermined shape is a shape in which a terminal portion (for example, a shape in which two plate-shaped members protrude in parallel) at the tip of the plug 300 connected to the electric device 303 via the power cable 302 can be inserted. is there. As described above, the electrical device 303 is an electrical device that can operate with AC power assuming a commercial power source, and is, for example, an electrical device that operates with 100 V AC power.

  In the following description, the detailed configuration of one of the two sets of the detection device 281 and the socket 284 (specifically, the lower stage) of the detection device 281 and the socket 284 will be described. Since the detection device 281 and the socket 284 in the upper stage have the same configuration, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the socket 284 can rotate by a predetermined angle from the initial position in a predetermined direction (counterclockwise in FIGS. 3 and 4) with the plug 300 inserted. A mechanism 286 is provided. In the present embodiment, the predetermined angle is 90 °, for example. For example, the rotation mechanism 286 is provided at a contact portion between the protrusion provided at any position on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the socket 284 and the outer peripheral surface of the socket 284 of the base portion 285, and is fitted into the protrusion. And a groove portion provided to be fitted together. The groove portion is provided so that the projection portion can be moved only within a range from the initial position to a position where the socket 284 rotates by a predetermined angle. Note that the rotation mechanism 286 is not limited to the mechanism described above.

  The socket 284 may be further provided with a lock mechanism (not shown) that suppresses the rotation of the socket 284 when the plug 300 is not connected. For example, when the plug 300 is not connected, the locking mechanism moves the restricting member in the middle of the groove so that the protrusion does not move along the groove from the initial position to a position rotated by a predetermined angle. And when the plug 300 is connected to the socket 284, it is a mechanical mechanism that moves so as to remove the regulating member from the groove. Note that the locking mechanism is not limited to the mechanism described above.

  Further, the socket 284 may be provided with a removal prevention mechanism that suppresses the removal of the plug 300 when rotated with the plug 300 inserted. The disconnection prevention mechanism is, for example, a mechanism that hooks a projection-shaped portion into a through hole provided at the tip of the plate-shaped terminal portion of the plug 300 when the socket 284 is rotated. Note that the drop prevention mechanism is not limited to the mechanism described above.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the detection device 281 is a switch that outputs an ON signal to the control device 260 when the socket 284 rotates 90 ° in a predetermined direction. The detection device 281 is provided in the socket 284, for example, a first contact that rotates as the socket 284 rotates, and is provided in the base portion 285. The detection device 281 is first when the socket 284 rotates 90 ° in a predetermined direction from the initial position. You may make it include the 2nd contact which contacts a contact.

  In this case, the first contact may be connected to the ground, and a predetermined voltage may be applied from the control device 260 to the second contact. In this case, when the socket 284 is rotated by 90 °, the voltage applied to the second contact is lowered by the contact between the first contact and the second contact, so that the socket 284 is moved 90 ° from the initial position. It is possible to detect that it has rotated. As the detection device 281, a sensor that can detect the rotation angle of the socket 284 may be used.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the control process performed by the control apparatus 260 mounted in the vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  In step (hereinafter, step is referred to as S) 100, control device 260 determines whether or not an ON signal is received from detection device 281. If it is determined that the ON signal has been received from detection device 281 (YES in S100), the process proceeds to S102. If not (NO in S100), the process proceeds to S108.

  In S102, control device 260 selects the vehicle exterior power supply mode. In the vehicle exterior power supply mode, AC power is supplied to the electrical device 303 outside the vehicle 10 via the power cable connected to the socket 284 from the vehicle interior socket portion 280 in a state where the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed. This is a power supply mode that assumes this. For example, the movement of the vehicle 10 may be suppressed by providing an electrically disconnected state between the motor generator unit 230 and the battery unit 240, or a state in which traveling is not permitted in a controlled manner (for example, traveling preparation) The movement of the vehicle 10 may be suppressed by maintaining the state, or the movement of the vehicle 10 may be suppressed by maintaining the parking position.

  In S104, control device 260 executes a system activation process for activating the power supply system of vehicle 10 (device necessary for power supply via socket 284). For example, when the power supply system of vehicle 10 has already been activated, control device 260 maintains the activated state. The control device 260 makes a device necessary for power feeding via the socket 284 (for example, the conversion device 250 or the like) operable by executing the system activation process. The control device 260 may suppress the movement of the vehicle 10 described above together with the system activation process.

  In S106, control device 260 executes output processing. The control device 260 operates the conversion device 250 to convert the DC power of the battery unit 240 into AC power, and executes processing for outputting the converted AC power to the socket 284 as output processing.

  In S108, control device 260 determines whether or not power is being supplied. For example, control device 260 determines that power is being supplied when the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected and converter 250 is operating. If it is determined that power is being supplied (YES in S108), the process proceeds to S110. If not (NO in S108), this process ends.

  In S110, control device 260 executes an output stop process. The output stop process is a process for stopping the operation of the converter 250 and stopping the output of AC power to the socket 284. The output stop process may include, for example, a system stop process for stopping the power supply system of the vehicle 10 when the power supply system of the vehicle 10 is started in the system start process.

  An operation of control device 260 mounted on vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment based on the above-described structure and flowchart will be described.

  For example, it is assumed that the power supply system of vehicle 10 (on-vehicle equipment necessary for power supply via socket 284, for example, conversion device 250) is stopped. For example, in order to use the electric device 303 outside the vehicle 10, the user pulls the plug 300 at the end of the power cable connected to the electric device 303 into the vehicle interior and connects it to the socket 284. .

  At this time, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 degrees counterclockwise with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284, an ON signal is transmitted from the detection device 281 to the control device 260. If control device 260 determines that an ON signal has been received (YES in S100), the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected (S102). In accordance with the selected outside-cabin power supply mode, system activation processing is executed (S104), and output processing is executed (S106). Thereby, the converter 250 operates and the DC power of the battery unit 240 is converted into AC power. Then, the converted AC power is supplied to the electrical device 303 via the socket 284. As a result, the electric device 303 is ready for use. At this time, since the operation of the motor generator unit 230 is suppressed, the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the user rotates the socket 284 rotated 90 ° counterclockwise by 90 ° clockwise and returns it to the initial position, the output of the ON signal from the detection device 281 is stopped. When the ON signal is no longer received (NO in S100), power supply is being performed (YES in S108), and output stop processing is executed (S110). Therefore, the operation of the conversion device 250 is stopped, and the power supply to the electric device 303 is stopped.

  As described above, according to the vehicle according to the present embodiment, the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284 is rotated up to 90 ° from the initial position, so that the movement of the vehicle 10 is restricted and the socket 284 is restricted. AC power is supplied to The operation of rotating the socket 284 is a simple operation that can be performed accompanying the operation of inserting the plug 300 into the socket 284. Therefore, the vehicle which suppresses a movement of a vehicle appropriately at the time of external electric power feeding of a vehicle by simple operation of a user can be provided.

  Further, when the socket 284 is returned to the initial position during power feeding, output stop processing is executed, so that power feeding to the electrical device 303 connected to the socket 284 can be stopped by a simple user operation. it can.

Hereinafter, modifications will be described.
In the above-described embodiment, the battery unit 240 has been described as a secondary battery. However, the battery unit 240 is not particularly limited to a secondary battery, and may be, for example, a fuel cell.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of sockets 284 is described as two. However, the number of sockets 284 is not particularly limited to two. For example, the number may be one or three or more. There may be.

  The configurations of the lock mechanism and the disconnection prevention mechanism described in the above-described embodiment are examples, and are not particularly limited to the configurations of the lock mechanism and the disconnection prevention mechanism described above, and a known technique may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the vehicle 10 has been described as a hybrid vehicle. However, the vehicle 10 is not particularly limited to a hybrid vehicle, as long as the vehicle 10 is mounted on the vehicle interior socket portion 280. . The vehicle 10 may be, for example, an electric vehicle using only the motor generator unit 230 as a driving source, or may be a vehicle using only the gasoline engine unit 220 as a driving source.

  In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that AC power is supplied to the socket 284 in a state where the movement of the vehicle is suppressed by the rotation operation of the plug 300, but for example, the state where the movement of the vehicle is suppressed or The user may be notified using the display device or the like that the vehicle interior power supply mode is selected. In this way, the user can recognize the currently selected control mode, the output state of the socket 284, and the like.

In addition, you may implement combining the above-mentioned modification, all or one part.
<Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the vehicle according to the second embodiment will be described. The vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment differs from the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above in the configuration of the vehicle interior socket portion 280. Other configurations are the same as the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above. They are given the same reference numerals. Their functions are the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.

  Below, the detailed structure of the vehicle interior socket part 280 in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS. 6-8. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of the vehicle interior socket 280 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state before the rotation operation of the socket. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state after the rotation operation of the socket.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the vehicle interior socket portion 280 includes a detection device 281, a socket 284, a base portion 285, and an electric lock mechanism 290. The base portion 285 is provided with two sets of a detection device 281, a socket 284, and an electric lock mechanism 290.

  In the following description, the detailed configuration of one of the two sets of detection device 281, socket 284 and electric lock mechanism 290 (specifically, the lower stage) detection device 281, socket 284 and electric lock mechanism 290 will be described. Although described, the detection device 281 on the other side (specifically, the upper stage), the socket 284, and the electric lock mechanism 290 have the same configuration as the one, and thus detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  In addition, the configurations of the detection device 281 and the socket 284 in the present embodiment are the same as the configurations of the detection device 281 and the socket 284 described in the first embodiment. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, the socket 284 is provided with an electric lock mechanism 290 that suppresses the rotation of the socket 284 in accordance with a control signal from the control device 260.

  When receiving the lock signal from the control device 260, the electric lock mechanism 290 rotates the restricting member that suppresses the rotation of the socket 284 by driving the actuator so that the protrusion of the rotation mechanism 286 is rotated by a predetermined angle from the initial position. It moves to the middle of a groove part so that it may not move along a groove part to the position to do. At this time, the rotation of the socket 284 is inhibited by the restricting member.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, when the electric lock mechanism 290 receives the lock release signal from the control device 260, the electric lock mechanism 290 moves the regulation member so as to be removed from the groove portion by driving the actuator. At this time, the socket 284 is allowed to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the socket 284 is rotated 90 ° by the user, an ON signal is output from the detection device 281 to the control device 260.

  With reference to FIG. 9, a control process executed by control device 260 mounted on vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  Note that the processing of S100 to S110 in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is the same as the processing of S100 to S110 in the flowchart of FIG. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  In S200, control device 260 determines whether or not external power feeding is possible. Control device 260 determines that external power feeding is possible, for example, when vehicle 10 is stopped and the travel mode is not selected.

  Whether or not the vehicle 10 is stopped is determined based on the speed of the vehicle 10, for example. Control device 260 determines that vehicle 10 is stopped when the speed of vehicle 10 is equal to or less than a threshold value (for example, zero). Note that the control device 260 may calculate the speed of the vehicle 10 based on, for example, the rotational speed of the drive wheel 210 detected using a wheel speed sensor or the like.

  The travel mode is, for example, a control mode in which the vehicle 10 can travel by an accelerator operation. For example, when control mode in a state where motor generator unit 230 cannot operate is selected, control device 260 determines that traveling mode is not selected. If it is determined that external power feeding is possible (YES in S200), the process proceeds to S202. If not (NO in S200), the process proceeds to S204.

  In S202, control device 260 transmits an unlock signal to electric lock mechanism 290. Thereafter, the control device 260 moves the process to S100. In S204, control device 260 transmits a lock signal to electric lock mechanism 290. Thereafter, the control device 260 moves the process to S100.

  An operation of control device 260 mounted on vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment based on the above-described structure and flowchart will be described.

  For example, it is assumed that the traveling mode is selected and the vehicle 10 is traveling. In this case, since external power feeding is not possible (NO in S200), a lock signal is transmitted from control device 260 to electric lock mechanism 290 (S204). The electric lock mechanism 290 receives the lock signal and inhibits the socket 284 from rotating. Therefore, even if the user inserts the plug 300 of the electric device into the socket 284 while the vehicle 10 is traveling, the socket 284 cannot be rotated to the position rotated 90 ° counterclockwise from the initial position. Therefore, an ON signal is not output from detection device 281 (NO in S100).

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the vehicle 10 is stopped and the power supply system of the vehicle 10 is in a stopped state (that is, the traveling mode is not selected). In this case, since external power feeding is possible (YES in S200), a lock release signal is transmitted from control device 260 to electric lock mechanism 290 (S202). The electric lock mechanism 290 receives the lock release signal and allows the socket 284 to rotate. Therefore, when the user inserts the plug 300 of the electric device into the socket 284, the socket 284 can be rotated to a position rotated 90 ° counterclockwise from the initial position.

  In this case, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 degrees counterclockwise with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284, an ON signal is transmitted from the detection device 281 to the control device 260. If control device 260 determines that an ON signal has been received (YES in S100), the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected (S102). In accordance with the selected outside-cabin power supply mode, system activation processing is executed (S104), and output processing is executed (S106). Thereby, the converter 250 operates and the DC power of the battery unit 240 is converted into AC power. Then, the converted AC power is supplied to the electrical device 303 via the socket 284. As a result, the electric device 303 is ready for use. At this time, since the operation of the motor generator unit 230 is suppressed, the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the user rotates the socket 284 rotated 90 ° counterclockwise by 90 ° clockwise and returns it to the initial position, the output of the ON signal from the detection device 281 is stopped. When the ON signal is no longer received (NO in S100), power supply is being performed (YES in S108), and output stop processing is executed (S110). Therefore, the operation of the conversion device 250 is stopped, and the power supply to the electric device 303 is stopped.

  As described above, according to the vehicle according to the present embodiment, in addition to the operational effects described in the first embodiment, when the vehicle 10 is in a movable state, the electric lock mechanism 290 does not allow the socket 284 to be rotated from the initial position to a predetermined angle. Therefore, it can suppress that it will be in the state where the movement of vehicles 10 was restricted.

<Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the vehicle according to the third embodiment will be described. The vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment differs from the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above in the configuration of the vehicle interior socket portion 280. Other configurations are the same as the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above. They are given the same reference numerals. Their functions are the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.

  Below, the detailed structure of the vehicle interior socket part 280 in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS. 10-13. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the configuration of the vehicle interior socket 280 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state before the rotation operation of the socket. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state after the socket is rotated in a predetermined direction. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state after the rotating operation of the socket in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the vehicle interior socket portion 280 includes a detection device 281 (hereinafter referred to as a first detection device 281), a socket 284, a base portion 285, and a detection device 294 (hereinafter referred to as a first detection device). 2 described as a detection device 294). Two sets of the first detection device 281, the socket 284, and the second detection device 294 are provided in the base portion 285.

  In the following description, one of the two sets of the first detection device 281, the socket 284, and the second detection device 294 (specifically, the first detection device 281, the socket 284, and the second detection device). The detailed configuration of 294 will be described. However, the first detection device 281, the socket 284, and the second detection device 294 on the other side (specifically, the upper stage) have the same configuration as the one, and thus the detailed description thereof will not be repeated. .

  In addition, the configuration of the first detection device 281 and the socket 284 in the present embodiment is the configuration described below compared to the configuration of the detection device 281 and the socket 284 described in the first embodiment. The configuration is the same except for the above. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  In addition to being able to rotate in a predetermined direction as described above, the rotation mechanism 286 provided in the socket 284 in the present embodiment is a mechanism that can rotate in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction with the plug 300 inserted. is there. Therefore, the socket 284 can be rotated by a first angle in a predetermined direction from the initial position in a state where the plug 300 is inserted, and can be rotated by a second angle in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction from the initial position. In the present embodiment, the first angle and the second angle are both described as being 90 °. However, the first angle and the second angle are limited to the same angle. It may not be a thing but a different angle.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 ° counterclockwise from the initial position with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284, an ON signal is sent from the first detection device 281 to the control device 260. Is output.

  On the other hand, the second detection device 294 detects that the socket 284 has been rotated by 90 ° in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction. The second detection device 294 is a switch that outputs an ON signal to the control device 260 when, for example, the socket 284 is rotated 90 ° in a direction opposite to a predetermined direction. The second detection device 294 is provided in the socket 284, and is provided in the base 285, the third contact that rotates as the socket 284 rotates, and when the socket 284 rotates 90 ° in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction from the initial position. May include a fourth contact that contacts the third contact. In this case, the third contact may be connected to the ground, and a voltage may be applied to the fourth contact. In this case, when the socket 284 is rotated by 90 ° in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the voltage applied to the fourth contact is decreased, so that it is detected that the socket 284 is rotated by 90 ° in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the user rotates the plug 300 clockwise by 90 ° from the initial position with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284, an ON signal is sent from the second detection device 294 to the control device 260. Is output.

  With reference to FIG. 14, the control process performed by the control apparatus 260 mounted in the vehicle 10 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated.

  In S300, control device 260 determines whether an ON signal has been received from first detection device 281 or not. If it is determined that the ON signal is received from first detection device 281 (YES in S300), the process proceeds to S302. If not (NO in S300), the process proceeds to S308.

  In S302, control device 260 selects a vehicle exterior power supply mode. In S304, control device 260 executes system activation processing. In S306, control device 260 executes output processing. In addition, since it is as having demonstrated in the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment about the vehicle exterior electric power feeding mode, a system starting process, and an output process, the detailed description is not repeated.

  In S308, control device 260 determines whether an ON signal has been received from second detection device 294 or not. If it is determined that the ON signal is received from second detection device 294 (YES in S308), the process proceeds to S310. If not (NO in S308), the process proceeds to S312.

  In S310, control device 260 selects the indoor power supply mode. In the indoor power supply mode, it is assumed that AC power is supplied from the vehicle interior socket portion 280 to the electrical equipment in the vehicle interior via a power cable connected to the socket 284 while the vehicle 10 is allowed to move. The power supply mode.

  In S312, control device 260 determines whether or not power is being supplied. For example, control device 260 determines that power is being supplied when the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected and conversion device 250 is operating. Alternatively, the control device 260 determines that power is being supplied when the indoor power supply mode is selected and the conversion device 250 is operating. If it is determined that power is being supplied (YES in S312), the process proceeds to S314. If not (NO in S312), this process ends. In S314, control device 260 executes output stop processing. Since the output stop process is as described in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  An operation of control device 260 mounted on vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment based on the above-described structure and flowchart will be described.

  For example, it is assumed that the vehicle 10 is stopped and the power supply system of the vehicle 10 (an in-vehicle device necessary for power supply via the socket 284, for example, the conversion device 250) is stopped. For example, in order to use the electric device 303 outside the vehicle 10, the user pulls the plug 300 at the end of the power cable connected to the electric device 303 into the vehicle interior and connects it to the socket 284. .

  At this time, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 degrees counterclockwise with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284, an ON signal is transmitted from the first detection device 281 to the control device 260. If control device 260 determines that an ON signal has been received from first detection device 281 (YES in S300), the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected (S302). In accordance with the selected outside-cabin power supply mode, system activation processing is executed (S304), and output processing is executed (S306). Thereby, the converter 250 operates and the DC power of the battery unit 240 is converted into AC power. Then, the converted AC power is supplied to the electrical device 303 via the socket 284. As a result, the electric device 303 is ready for use. At this time, since the operation of the motor generator unit 230 is suppressed, the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the user rotates the socket 284 rotated 90 ° counterclockwise by 90 ° clockwise and returns it to the initial position, the output of the ON signal from the first detection device 281 is stopped (S300). NO). Since no ON signal is output from second detection device 294 (NO in S308), power supply is being performed (YES in S312), and output stop processing is executed (S314). Therefore, the operation of the conversion device 250 is stopped, and the power supply to the electric device 303 is stopped.

  Next, it is assumed that the vehicle 10 is traveling and the conversion device 250 is stopped. For example, it is assumed that the user connects the plug 300 at the end of the power cable connected to the electric device to the socket 284 in order to use the electric device in the passenger compartment.

  At this time, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 ° clockwise with the socket 284 inserted, an ON signal is transmitted from the second detection device 294 to the control device 260. If control device 260 determines that the ON signal from second detection device 294 has been received (YES in S308), the indoor power supply mode is selected (S310). In accordance with the selected indoor power supply mode, system activation processing is executed (S304), and output processing is executed (S306). Thereby, the converter 250 operates and the DC power of the battery unit 240 is converted into AC power. Then, the converted AC power is supplied to the electrical equipment in the passenger compartment via the socket 284. As a result, the electric device can be used. At this time, since the movement of the vehicle 10 is allowed, the traveling state of the vehicle 10 is maintained.

  As described above, according to the vehicle according to the present embodiment, in addition to the operational effects described in the first embodiment, the socket 284 is controlled while the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed depending on the rotation direction of the socket 284. It is possible to select one of a state in which AC power is supplied to the vehicle (outdoor power supply mode) and a state in which AC power is supplied to the socket 284 while allowing the vehicle 10 to move (indoor power supply mode). Become.

<Fourth embodiment>
The vehicle according to the fourth embodiment will be described below. The vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment differs from the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above in the configuration of the vehicle interior socket portion 280. Other configurations are the same as the configuration of the vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment described above. They are given the same reference numerals. Their functions are the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.

  Below, the detailed structure of the vehicle interior socket part 280 in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a configuration of a socket provided in the vehicle interior according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the vehicle interior socket 280 includes two sockets 284 and two power supply switches 287.

  In the following description, the detailed configuration of one of the two sets of sockets 284 and the power supply switch 287 (specifically, the lower stage) socket 284 and power supply switch 287 will be described. Since the upper socket 284 and the power supply switch 287 have the same configuration as one of them, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  Further, the configuration of the socket 284 in the present embodiment is the same as the configuration of the socket 284 described in the first embodiment. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, a power supply switch 287 is provided on the base portion 285 of the vehicle interior socket portion 280. The power supply switch 287 is provided so as to be pressed by the user. The power supply switch 287 can output an ON signal to the control device 260 when the socket 284 is rotated by 90 ° in a predetermined direction from the initial position.

  The power supply switch 287 is provided, for example, on the switch body, the socket 284, the fifth contact that rotates as the socket 284 rotates, and the base portion 285. The socket 284 rotates 90 ° in a predetermined direction from the initial position. Sometimes, a sixth contact that contacts the fifth contact may be included.

  In this case, the first contact is connected to the ground, the sixth contact is connected to one end of the switch body, and the other end of the switch body is connected to the control device 260. Then, the control device 260 may apply a voltage to the other end of the switch body. In this case, when the socket 284 is rotated by 90 °, one end of the switch body is connected to the ground, so that the applied voltage is reduced when the switch body is in a conductive state. It can be detected that the power supply switch 287 is operated in a state where the 284 is rotated by 90 ° from the initial position.

  Note that the control processing executed by the control device 260 is different from the control processing shown in FIG. 5 in that the control device 260 uses the power switch instead of determining whether the processing in S100 has received an ON signal from the detection device. The difference is whether or not an ON signal is received from 287. Since other processes are the same as the control process shown in FIG. 5, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  An operation of control device 260 mounted on vehicle 10 according to the present embodiment based on the above-described structure and flowchart will be described.

  For example, a case where the power supply system of the vehicle 10 is stopped is assumed. For example, in order to use the electric device 303 outside the vehicle 10, the user pulls the plug 300 at the end of the power cable connected to the electric device 303 into the vehicle interior and connects it to the socket 284. .

  At this time, when the user rotates the plug 300 by 90 ° counterclockwise with the plug 300 inserted into the socket 284 and presses the power supply switch 287, an ON signal is transmitted to the control device 260. If control device 260 determines that an ON signal has been received (YES in S100), the vehicle exterior power supply mode is selected (S102). In accordance with the selected outside-cabin power supply mode, system activation processing is executed (S104), and output processing is executed (S106). Thereby, the converter 250 operates and the DC power of the battery unit 240 is converted into AC power. Then, the converted AC power is supplied to the electrical device 303 via the socket 284. As a result, the electric device 303 is ready for use. At this time, since the operation of the motor generator unit 230 is suppressed, the movement of the vehicle 10 is suppressed.

  As described above, according to the vehicle according to the present embodiment, the same operational effects as those described in the first embodiment are exhibited.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive.
