  Embodiments of the energy supply device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a first embodiment of the energy supply device of the present invention will be described. The moving body 1 in this embodiment is shown in FIG. The moving body 1 is an automobile that travels using electric energy, and acquires energy supplied from the energy supply facility 2 as electric energy. Examples of such a moving body (automobile) 1 include an electric vehicle that travels using the driving force of an electric motor, and a hybrid vehicle that travels using the driving force of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.

  The moving body 1 is equipped with a battery 3 serving as energy storage means for storing electrical energy. The battery 3 is not only charged by energy supplied during movement from the supply facility 2 described below, but may be directly charged by connecting a connector or the like while the vehicle is stopped. Moreover, when the mobile body 1 is a hybrid vehicle, the electric power regenerated at the time of braking and the electric power generated by the internal combustion engine are also charged.

  And the mobile body 1 is provided with the transmitter / receiver 4 used as a transmission means and a receiving means for communicating with the supply equipment 2 under the floor of the vehicle front part (front side with respect to a normal driving direction). . In addition, the moving body 1 includes energy acquisition means 5 that acquires energy supplied from the supply facility 2 below the floor at the rear of the vehicle. The energy acquisition means 5 is connected to the battery 3, acquires the supplied energy as electric energy, and then charges the battery 3.

  On the other hand, the energy supply facility 2 includes a transmitter / receiver 6 and an energy supply means 7 arranged on the traveling road surface of the mobile body 1 and an energy supply control unit 8 connected to these and controlling the overall energy supply. . Here, one transceiver 6 and one energy supply means 7 are handled as a set. The supply control unit 8 controls not only one set of the transceiver 6 and the energy supply means 7 but also a plurality of sets of the transceiver 6 and the energy supply means 7 (not shown).

  If these sets are arranged in the traveling direction of the mobile body 1, energy can be continuously supplied. If a specific lane is used as an energy supply lane on a highway or the like, energy can be continuously supplied in this manner relatively easily. The supply control unit 8 is built in a control center, and the center, each transceiver 6 and the energy supply means 7 are connected by a laid cable.

  The transmitter / receiver 6 communicates with the transmitter / receiver 4 on the mobile body 1 side described above, and serves as a transmitting means and a receiving means on the supply equipment 2 side. By the transceiver 4 on the mobile body 1 side and the transceiver 6 on the supply facility 2 side, information on the mobile body 1 side transmitted from the mobile body 1 is received by the supply facility 2 or transmitted from the supply facility 2. Information on the supply facility 2 side can be received by the mobile unit 1. The information communicated between the transmitter / receiver 4 on the mobile body 1 side and the transmitter / receiver 6 on the supply equipment 2 side will be described in detail later.

  The energy supply means 7 is disposed in front of the moving body 1 in the traveling direction with respect to the transmitter / receiver 6 which is the set described above. The energy supply means 7 in the present embodiment has a coil that generates a magnetic field, and generates a magnetic field based on the electric power from the supply control unit 8. On the other hand, the above-described energy acquisition means 5 on the moving body 1 side has an induction coil. The induction coil generates electric power by a change in magnetic flux when the moving body 1 passes through the magnetic field generated by the energy supply means 7, and the battery 3 is charged with this electric power.

  Further, the positional relationship between the transmitter / receiver 4 and the energy acquisition means 5 on the mobile body 1 side is opposite to the positional relationship between the transmitter / receiver 6 and the energy supply means 7 on the supply facility 2 side. Further, the distance between the transmitter / receiver 6 on the supply facility 2 side and the energy supply means 7 is set to a distance about the wheel base distance of the moving body 1. For this reason, first, when the mobile body 1 is traveling, the transmitter / receiver 4 of the mobile body 1 and the transmitter / receiver 6 on the supply facility 2 side face each other. The exchange of information is performed. Next, when the mobile body 1 moves forward, the energy acquisition means 5 of the mobile body 1 and the energy supply means 7 on the supply facility 2 side face each other, and based on the information already exchanged, Energy is supplied.

  The mobile body (automobile) 1 of this embodiment does not have a track determined like a railway. In addition, the moving body (automobile) 1 can freely change the lane, and other moving bodies in the vicinity may interrupt the own lane. For this reason, if the transmitter / receiver 4, the energy acquisition means 5, the transmitter / receiver 6 and the energy supply means 7 are arranged in this way, the mobile body immediately after exchanging information between the mobile body 1 and the supply equipment 2 Since energy can be supplied to 1, energy can be supplied more reliably.

  When the energy acquisition means 5 is located at the rear part of the vehicle when generating a magnetic field and supplying energy to the moving body as in this embodiment, the influence of the magnetic field on the passenger is minimized. There is also an advantage that it can be done. If the energy supply means 7 generates a magnetic field in synchronism with the timing when the energy acquisition means 5 faces the energy supply means 7, the generated magnetic field has little influence on the passenger.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and demonstrated to the site | part which has the same function as 1st embodiment mentioned above. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the mobile body 1 acquires energy supplied from the energy supply facility 2 as electric energy, as in the first embodiment described above. However, the communication form between the mobile 1 and the supply facility 2 is different from the form of energy supply.

  In this embodiment, the transmitter / receiver (transmitting means / reception means) 4 on the mobile body 1 side can perform long-distance communication with the transmitter / receiver (transmitting means / reception means) 6 on the supply equipment 2 side. The communication between the transceiver 4 and the transceiver 6 may be performed directly or may be performed via another relay point (for example, the communication satellite 9). Information exchanged by communication between the transceiver 4 and the transceiver 6 will be described in detail later. Further, the energy supply means 7 on the supply facility 2 side in the present embodiment is installed on the traveling road surface, and the energy acquisition means 5 on the mobile body 1 side directly contacts the energy supply means 7 to supply electric power. Receive. The battery 3 is charged by the supplied power.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. The first and second embodiments described above acquire supplied energy as electric energy. However, this embodiment supplies energy (energy source) to a moving body by supplying gasoline during movement. An outline of the moving body 101 and the energy supply facility 102 in this embodiment is shown in FIG.

  The moving body 101 has an engine that is an internal combustion engine and travels using gasoline as an energy source. The moving body 101 has a fuel tank 103 serving as energy storage means for storing gasoline. The fuel tank 103 is not only supplied with gasoline as energy from the supply facility 102 during the movement of the moving body 101 by the supply method described below, but is also replenished with gasoline at a gas station as usual.

  An energy acquisition unit 105 is connected to the fuel tank 103. The energy acquisition means 105 of this embodiment has a fuel filler opening provided on the outer surface of the moving body 101. The energy acquisition means 105 also has a joint mechanism that can connect the energy supply means 107 of the supply facility 102 to the fuel filler. This joint mechanism is such that, for example, when the arm portion 107a of the energy supply means 107 that runs side by side with the moving body 101 comes to a position facing the oil supply port on the moving body 101 side, both are coupled by an electromagnet. is there.

  In addition, the mobile unit 101 includes a transceiver (transmitting unit and also receiving unit) 104 for performing communication with the supply facility 102. The supply facility 102 side also has a transceiver (transmitting means and receiving means) 106 for performing communication with the mobile body 101. These transceivers 104 and 106 are the same as the transceivers 4 and 6 of the second embodiment described above. Information exchanged by these transceivers 104 and 106 will be described in detail later.

  The supply facility 102 according to the present embodiment includes an annular track 110 having a portion that is partially parallel to the traveling path of the moving body 101. A plurality of energy supply means 107 are arranged on the track 110. Each energy supply means 107 is movable on the track 110 while maintaining a predetermined interval. Each energy supply means 107 is connected to the energy supply control unit 108 via the track 110. Each energy supply means 107 has the above-described arm portion 107 a that is connected to the fuel filler port of the moving body 101.

  The supply of energy (gasoline) to the moving body 101 by the supply facility 102 is performed by exchanging information with the transceivers 104 and 106 to synchronize the speeds of the moving body 101 and the energy supply means 107, and the tip of the arm portion 107a. And the refueling port of the moving body 101 are connected. If a system in which magnets are embedded at regular intervals on the traveling path of the moving body 101 and the moving body 101 automatically travels at a constant speed according to this is used, the speed and position of the moving body 101 and the energy supply means 107 are synchronized. Is easier to do.

  In the above example, the energy source of the moving body 101 is gasoline, but the same applies to the case where the energy source of the moving body 101 is other liquid fuel such as light oil or methanol. Further, if the plurality of energy supply means 107 on the above-described track 110 are distributed to each type of liquid fuel, even if the type of energy required for each moving object may be different, all types of liquid fuel are used. Can be provided.

  The structure of the moving bodies 1 and 101 and the supply facilities 2 and 102 in the embodiment shown in FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a configuration diagram of the embodiment shown in FIGS. The configuration shown in the upper side of FIG. 4 is the configuration on the moving body 1, 101 side, and the configuration shown on the lower side is the configuration on the supply equipment 2 102 side.

  As described above, the mobile units 1 and 101 have the transceiver 4 used at the time of energy supply. This is an energy transfer ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 11 that comprehensively controls the transfer of energy. It is connected to the. The energy transfer ECU 11 is also connected to a current sensor (or voltage sensor) 12 interposed between the energy acquisition means 5 and the battery 3. The amount of energy supplied can be detected by the current sensor (or voltage sensor) 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when liquid fuel is acquired by the energy acquisition unit 105 and stored in the fuel tank 103, a flow sensor (or pressure) is interposed between the fuel tank 103 and the energy acquisition unit 105. Sensor) 12 is interposed and connected to the energy transfer ECU 11. When receiving the supply of liquid fuel, the flow rate sensor (or pressure sensor) 12 detects the flow rate of liquid fuel (or pressure of the liquid fuel), thereby detecting the amount of energy supplied.

  The energy transfer ECU 11 is also connected with a monitor 13 serving as a presentation means for presenting various information to the passenger. Information other than information related to energy supply may be displayed on the monitor 13. Furthermore, the energy transfer ECU 11 is also connected to the engine ECU 14, the brake ECU 15, the door ECU 16, and the vehicle height adjustment ECU 17. The engine ECU 14 comprehensively controls the engine, and an injector 18 and a valve lift & timing control actuator 19 are connected to the engine ECU 14. The brake ECU 15 comprehensively controls the braking of the moving bodies 1 and 101, and a brake actuator 20 and a wheel speed sensor 21 are connected to the brake ECU 15.

  The door ECU 16 comprehensively controls the door lock and the opening / closing of the window. The door ECU 16 is connected to a door lock motor 22 and a window opening / closing motor 23. The vehicle height adjustment ECU 17 comprehensively controls a vehicle height adjustment mechanism that adjusts the vehicle height of the movable bodies 1 and 101. A suspension internal pressure adjusting valve 24 is connected to the vehicle height adjusting ECU 17, and the vehicle height can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure inside the suspension.

  On the other hand, the above-described transceivers 6 and 106 and energy supply means 7 and 107 of the supply facility 2 and 102 are connected to energy transfer ECUs (supply control units) 8 and 108 on the supply facility 2 side.

  Next, in each embodiment mentioned above, the information communicated between the mobile bodies 1 and 101 and the energy supply equipment 2 and 102 is demonstrated in detail. By the information communicated here, the energy supply from the energy supply facility 2, 102 to the mobile body 1, 101 is smoothly and reliably performed.

  Information transmitted from the energy supply facility 2 102 to the moving body 1 101 will be described. Information on the supply facility 2 102 side transmitted from the energy supply facility 2 102 to the mobile body 1 101 is transmitted by the transceivers 6 and 106 of the supply facility 2 102 described above, and the mobile body 1 101. Are received by the transceivers 4,104. The mobile units 1 and 101 can take an optimum response in receiving energy supply based on the received information.

  First, the case where the information transmitted with respect to the mobile bodies 1 and 101 is the information regarding the condition of a supply point is demonstrated. Since the mobile bodies 1 and 101 are given the situation of the supply point, it is possible to take an appropriate response based on the situation. Here, the case where the information regarding the situation of a supply point is the information regarding the supply availability status of a supply point, and the case where it is the information regarding the environment of a supply point are demonstrated below. However, the information regarding the status of the supply point is not limited to the information regarding the supply availability status of the supply point and the information regarding the environment of the supply point.

  A case will be described in which the information regarding the status of the supply point is information regarding the availability of supply at the supply point. The supply availability status at the supply point is a status indicating whether energy can be supplied at the supply point.

  The moving body 1, 101 is given as information as to whether it can receive energy or not at the supply point of the supply facility 2 102. For example, when information indicating that the supply of energy cannot be received at the supply point is given to the mobile body 1, 101 side, the mobile body 1, 101 side has energy at another supply point in the foreground if the remaining amount of energy is small. It can be determined that supply is necessary. Alternatively, if there is a margin in the remaining amount of energy, it is possible to take measures to postpone energy supply to a farther supply point.

  In addition, when multiple lanes that can supply energy are provided in parallel, the status of whether or not lanes can receive energy is moved as information on availability of supply. You may transmit with respect to the body 1,101. On the mobile body 1, 101 side, it is possible to take an appropriate measure such as traveling by selecting a travel lane that can be supplied with energy. The supply availability status refers to whether or not the supply point can supply energy to the mobile bodies 1 and 101 that are about to receive energy supply. There are cases where it cannot be supplied for reasons such as not matching.

  A case will be described in which the information regarding the status of the supply point is information regarding the environment of the supply point. The information regarding the environment of the supply point is, for example, information regarding climate (weather, temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity), topography, and the like. The energy supply can affect these environments. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 1, since the magnetic permeability of the atmosphere can change depending on the climate, the energy supply efficiency can also change.

  Moreover, since the driving | running state and attitude | position of the mobile body 1 and 101 may change also with topography etc., these may influence supply of energy. For example, if the supply point is uphill, the rear part of the moving bodies 1 and 101 is lowered. As a result, in the case shown in FIG. 1, the distance between the energy supply means 7 and the energy acquisition means 5 changes, so that the energy supply efficiency can also change. In such a case, the distance between the energy supply means 7 and the energy acquisition means 5 is the energy when the moving bodies 1 and 101 receive the environment information of the supply point (information such as the slope of the uphill as the terrain information). It is possible to control the height so as to be suitable for the supply.

  At this time, the energy transfer ECU 11 calculates the optimum vehicle height when supplying energy, and controls the suspension internal pressure adjustment valve 24 via the vehicle height adjustment ECU 17 to adjust the vehicle height of the moving body 1. When the same situation occurs in the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, the energy transfer ECU 11 calculates the optimum vehicle height at the time of energy transfer in order to ensure that the energy supply unit 7 and the energy acquisition unit 5 are in contact with each other. The suspension height control valve 24 is controlled via the vehicle height adjustment ECU 17 to adjust the vehicle height of the movable body 1. In this way, it is possible to cause the mobile body 1 and 101 to perform an appropriate response when supplying energy.

  Next, the case where the information transmitted to the moving bodies 1 and 101 is information relating to the energy supplied to the moving bodies 1 and 101 will be described. Since the mobile bodies 1 and 101 are provided with information on the supplied energy, an appropriate response can be taken based on the information. Here, the case where the information related to energy is information related to the energy type and the case where it is information related to the energy charge will be described below. However, the information related to energy is not limited to information related to energy type and information related to energy charges.

  The case where the information regarding energy is the information regarding energy classification is demonstrated. Specifically, the information on the energy type is whether it is DC power, AC power, high-octane gasoline, regular gasoline, or the like. If the mobile body 1, 101 knows from the information regarding the energy type given to a certain supply facility 2, 102 that the supply facility 2, 102 is not able to supply the type of energy required by the supply facility 2, 102, other supply facilities Can respond to the supply of energy.

  A case will be described in which the information on energy is information on energy charges. For example, by giving the unit price of energy and the charge of energy supplied (or supplied or supplied) to the mobile unit 1, 101 side, the desired energy supply amount is set to the mobile unit 1, 101 side. It becomes easy to make it decide. Further, on the mobile body 1, 101 side, the energy supply amount can be determined based on the transmitted energy fee, and smooth energy supply can be performed.

  Next, a case where the information transmitted to the mobile objects 1 and 101 is information relating to measures to be taken by the mobile objects 1 and 101 will be described. The measures to be taken by the mobile body include, for example, measures related to driving speed, gear position, lane to be driven, driving state to be performed when energy is supplied, and other measures.

  There may be a case where the moving body 1 101 has a preferable or necessary measure for receiving the supply of energy. For example, in the case as shown in FIG. 1, the amount of energy acquired by the moving body 1 varies because the amount of change in magnetic flux varies depending on the speed of the moving body 1. In the case shown in FIG. 3, it is necessary to synchronize the speed of the moving body 101 with the speed of the energy supply means 107 on the supply equipment 102 side. In such a case, it may be necessary to set the speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 to a specific speed.

  Or when the travel lane which can supply energy as mentioned above by description about the information about the supply availability state of a supply point is restricted, it is necessary to let the travel lane pass. In such a case, if such information is transmitted from the supply equipment 2 102 side to the mobile body 1 101 in advance, the mobile body 1 101 side can be appropriately handled. Alternatively, as a safety measure at the time of energy supply, it may be possible to restrict the opening and closing of windows and doors.

  For example, a case where the traveling speed is transmitted to the moving bodies 1 and 101 as information on measures to be taken by the moving bodies 1 and 101 will be described.

  Here, the moving bodies 1 and 101 control the speed by adjusting the output of the engine and vehicle braking by the brake mechanism, based on the transmitted traveling speed. The speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 itself is detected by a wheel speed sensor 21 attached to each wheel. In order to control the speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 by adjusting the output of the engine, the fuel injection amount from the injector 18 is changed, or the valve lift and timing control actuator 19 is controlled to open and close the intake and exhaust valves of the engine. Or when changing the valve lift.

  On the other hand, in order to control the speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 by braking the moving bodies 1 and 101 by the brake mechanism, the brake actuator 20 such as a solenoid valve arranged on the brake pipe is controlled and transmitted to each wheel. It is conceivable to adjust the brake hydraulic pressure. By controlling the speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 in this way, the speed of the moving bodies 1 and 101 is controlled to be a speed suitable for energy supply.

  Or the case where it transmits with respect to the mobile body 1 and 101 so that opening and closing of a window and a door may be controlled as information regarding the measure which the mobile body 1 and 101 perform is demonstrated.

  Here, the mobile units 1 and 101 to which the information for restricting the opening and closing of the windows and doors is transmitted, the output of the current / voltage sensor (flow rate / pressure sensor) 12, etc. To be detected by the energy transfer ECU 11. On the side of the moving body 1, 101 that has detected the start of energy supply, the energy transfer ECU 11 drives the door lock motor 22 and the window opening / closing motor 23 via the door ECU 16 to close the window and lock the door lock. . Thereby, at the time of energy supply, a passenger is protected inside the mobile body 1 and 101, and the influence accompanying energy supply can be minimized.

  For example, when a magnetic flux is generated during energy supply, the influence of the magnetic flux can be suppressed, and when energy transfer is performed by supplying liquid fuel, it is possible to prevent liquid fuel splashes from entering the moving bodies 1 and 101. In addition, since the energy supply is performed while the moving bodies 1 and 101 are moving, it is unlikely that the door will be opened and closed during the energy supply, but the door is opened and closed during the energy supply by performing the door lock. It is possible to suppress this, and to smoothly supply energy as a more preferable state for safety.

  Next, the case where the information transmitted with respect to the mobile bodies 1 and 101 is the information regarding an energy supply state is demonstrated. The energy supply state is, for example, supply amount, supply rate, supply start, supply completion, presence / absence of abnormality. By transmitting such information on the energy supply state to the mobile body 1, 101 side, it is possible to cause the mobile body 1, 101 side to take an appropriate action and to smoothly supply energy.

  Information that can be used effectively for energy supply, such as the supply amount, supply rate (how much supply has been made in response to the supply request), supply start, and whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the energy supply state. It is clear that there is. The mobile bodies 1 and 101 can accurately grasp the progress of the energy supply state based on these pieces of information.
