以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図面に示す実施例に基づき詳細に説明する。
[第1実施例]
図1は、本発明の第1実施例になる電動車両のバッテリ取付け装置を示し、1は、ハイブリッド車両や電気自動車などの電動車両である。
この電動車両1は、床下に下向き開口付きバッテリ収納空所2を具え、当該空所2内におけるバッテリ(図1では、空所2内に未だバッテリが収納されていない状態を示す)からの電力で駆動されるモータを動力源として具えるものとする。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on examples shown in the drawings.
[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 shows a battery mounting device for an electric vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes an electric vehicle such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle.
This electric vehicle 1 has a battery storage space 2 with a downward opening below the floor, and the electric power from the battery in the space 2 (in FIG. 1, the battery 2 is not yet stored in the space 2). It is assumed that the motor driven by is provided as a power source.

電動車両1は、テーブル3上に乗せた状態でバッテリ取付け作業を自動的に行われるものとする。
テーブル3上には、Y方向(横方向)車体位置調整機構4およびX方向(前後方向)車体位置調整機構5を設け、
これら機構4,5により電動車両1をテーブル3上における正規の位置に位置決めする。
この状態で、テーブル3上に設けた車体床面レベルセンサ6により、水平面に対するバッテリ収納空所2の傾斜を検知する。
It is assumed that the electric vehicle 1 is automatically subjected to the battery mounting operation in a state where it is placed on the table 3.
On the table 3, a Y-direction (lateral direction) vehicle body position adjustment mechanism 4 and an X-direction (front-back direction) vehicle body position adjustment mechanism 5 are provided.
The electric vehicle 1 is positioned at a regular position on the table 3 by these mechanisms 4 and 5.
In this state, the vehicle body floor level sensor 6 provided on the table 3 detects the inclination of the battery storage space 2 with respect to the horizontal plane.

7は交換用バッテリで、この交換用バッテリ7はバッテリ搬送装置8によりバッテリ載置台9上に搬送する。
バッテリ取付けに際しては、バッテリ載置台9をロボット10により、バッテリ載置台9上のバッテリ7が、車体床面レベルセンサ6で検知したバッテリ収納空所2の傾斜と同じ傾斜状態になるよう傾き制御すると共に、バッテリ載置台9上のバッテリ7がバッテリ収納空所2に整列するよう位置決めする。
Reference numeral 7 denotes a replacement battery. The replacement battery 7 is transferred onto the battery mounting table 9 by the battery transfer device 8.
When installing the battery, the robot 10 controls the tilt of the battery mounting table 9 so that the battery 7 on the battery mounting table 9 is in the same tilted state as the tilt of the battery storage space 2 detected by the vehicle body floor level sensor 6. At the same time, the battery 7 on the battery mounting base 9 is positioned so as to align with the battery housing space 2.

その後、バッテリ載置台9をロボット10により矢印で示すように上昇させ、バッテリ載置台9上のバッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2内にその下向き開口から、バッテリ収納空所2の側面ガイドによる案内下で挿入する。
この挿入後バッテリ7を、バッテリ収納空所2内に保持されるよう、車体に対しロックする。
Thereafter, the battery mounting table 9 is raised by the robot 10 as indicated by the arrow, and the battery 7 on the battery mounting table 9 is guided into the battery storage space 2 from the downward opening thereof by the side guide of the battery storage space 2. Insert with.
After this insertion, the battery 7 is locked to the vehicle body so as to be held in the battery housing space 2.

ところで、バッテリ7は図2に示すように、多数個のバッテリセル7aを相互に電気接続して一纏めにしたユニットで構成するため、重量が嵩んで200kg〜300kgもの重さになることがある。
このため、バッテリ載置台9が図2に示すごとく、基端9aにおいてロボット10(図1参照)に対し片持ち梁型式に支持されている場合につき説明すると、以下のような問題を生ずる。
By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, since the battery 7 is configured by a unit in which a large number of battery cells 7a are electrically connected to each other, the battery 7 may increase in weight and may be as heavy as 200 kg to 300 kg.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2, the following problem occurs when the battery mounting table 9 is supported in a cantilever type with respect to the robot 10 (see FIG. 1) at the base end 9a.

つまり、バッテリ取付け作業に当たってバッテリ7をバッテリ載置台9上に乗せた時、バッテリ載置台9はバッテリ7を乗せる前の図2(a)に示す状態から、バッテリ重量による同図(b)に示す下向き変形力F1によって、先端縁9bが5〜7mm程度下降して、撓み変形するのを禁じ得ない。   That is, when the battery 7 is placed on the battery mounting base 9 during the battery mounting operation, the battery mounting base 9 is shown in FIG. 2 (b) by the battery weight from the state shown in FIG. Due to the downward deformation force F1, the tip edge 9b cannot be prevented from being bent and deformed by about 5 to 7 mm.

かようにバッテリ載置台9が変形すると、バッテリ取付け作業時にバッテリ7がバッテリ収納空所2(図1参照)の周壁ガイド部に噛み込んだり、引っかかり、
バッテリ7を、空になってバッテリ収納空所2から取り出そうとする時に、バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2から取り外すことができなくなる懸念がある。
When the battery mounting table 9 is deformed in this way, the battery 7 is caught or caught in the peripheral wall guide part of the battery storage space 2 (see FIG. 1) during the battery mounting operation.
There is a concern that the battery 7 cannot be removed from the battery storage space 2 when the battery 7 becomes empty and is taken out of the battery storage space 2.

また、バッテリ載置台9が図2(b)につき上記したように変形すると、バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2内に挿入した時に、バッテリ側のロック部(図示せず)と、バッテリ収納空所側(車体側)ロック部(同じく図示せず)との相対位置が正規の位置からずれてしまい、
バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2内に挿入後、車体に対しロックすることができず、バッテリ7が搭載困難になるという懸念も払拭しきれない。
Further, when the battery mounting table 9 is deformed as described above with reference to FIG. 2 (b), when the battery 7 is inserted into the battery storage space 2, the battery side lock portion (not shown) and the battery storage space The relative position with the side (vehicle body side) lock part (also not shown) deviates from the normal position,
After the battery 7 is inserted into the battery housing space 2, it cannot be locked to the vehicle body, and the concern that it becomes difficult to mount the battery 7 cannot be eliminated.

[変形抗力発生構造]
そこで本実施例(第1実施例)においては、バッテリ載置台9が、バッテリ7の重量により変形しても、この変形を無くし得るように、若しくは少なくとも上記の問題が生じなくなる程度まで当該変形を低減し得るようになす、以下のごとき変形抗力発生構造を付加する。
[Deformation drag generation structure]
Therefore, in this embodiment (first embodiment), even if the battery mounting table 9 is deformed due to the weight of the battery 7, the deformation is made so that the deformation can be eliminated, or at least to the extent that the above problem does not occur. A deformation drag generating structure such as the following, which can be reduced, is added.

この変形抗力発生構造を詳述するに、片持ち梁型式に支持したバッテリ載置台9の支持基端9aと、この支持基端9aから遠いバッテリ載置台9の先端縁9bとの間に、図3(a)に示すごとくワイヤなどの非伸縮線状材11を張設する。
この非伸縮線状材11は、その先端11aをバッテリ載置台9の先端縁9bに係着し、他端11bを、バッテリ載置台9の支持基端9aに設けたガイドローラ12により案内しつつ、モータ13の出力軸に固設した端末ローラ14の外周に係着する。
To describe this deformation drag generation structure in detail, a figure is provided between the supporting base end 9a of the battery mounting base 9 supported in a cantilever type and the leading edge 9b of the battery mounting base 9 far from the supporting base end 9a. As shown in 3 (a), a non-stretchable linear material 11 such as a wire is stretched.
The non-stretchable linear material 11 has its tip 11a engaged with the tip edge 9b of the battery mounting table 9, and the other end 11b guided by a guide roller 12 provided on the support base end 9a of the battery mounting table 9. The terminal roller 14 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 13 is engaged with the outer periphery.

モータ13は、非伸縮線状材11に所定の張力が付与されるよう端末ローラ14を附勢するモータとし、かかる非伸縮線状材11の張設状態を保つようモータ13は端末ローラ14を両方向へ回転位置制御可能なものとする。
そして、図3(a)に示すバッテリ非搭載時におけるガイドローラ12の回転位置を基準とし、この基準位置からのガイドローラ12の回転量を検知する回転センサ15を設ける。
The motor 13 is a motor that urges the terminal roller 14 so that a predetermined tension is applied to the non-stretchable linear material 11, and the motor 13 causes the terminal roller 14 to maintain the stretched state of the non-stretchable linear material 11. The rotational position can be controlled in both directions.
A rotation sensor 15 for detecting the rotation amount of the guide roller 12 from the reference position is provided based on the rotation position of the guide roller 12 when the battery is not mounted as shown in FIG.

バッテリ載置台9上にバッテリ7を乗せる前は、バッテリ載置台9がバッテリ重量を受けないため、図3(a)に示すように真っ直ぐな状態であり、ガイドローラ12の回転位置は基準位置に保たれる。
このとき回転センサ15は、ガイドローラ12の基準位置からの回転が0であるのを検出しており、これをもって、バッテリ載置台9がバッテリ荷重に伴う変形を生じていないと判定し得る。
Before placing the battery 7 on the battery mounting base 9, the battery mounting base 9 does not receive the weight of the battery, so it is in a straight state as shown in Fig. 3 (a), and the rotation position of the guide roller 12 is at the reference position. Kept.
At this time, the rotation sensor 15 detects that the rotation of the guide roller 12 from the reference position is zero, and with this, it can be determined that the battery mounting table 9 is not deformed due to the battery load.

図3(b)に示すようにバッテリ載置台9上にバッテリ7を乗せると、バッテリ載置台9はバッテリ重量による下向き変形力F1を受けて、
図3(a)に示す真直状態から、同図(b)に示すように、支持基端9aを支点とする撓み変形される。
かかるバッテリ載置台9の撓み変形により、非伸縮線状材11の先端11aは非伸縮線状材11を、バッテリ載置台9の支持基端9aから先端縁9bに向かう方向へ繰り出させることとなる。
As shown in FIG. 3 (b), when the battery 7 is placed on the battery mounting table 9, the battery mounting table 9 receives the downward deformation force F1 due to the battery weight,
From the straight state shown in FIG. 3 (a), as shown in FIG. 3 (b), bending deformation is performed with the support base end 9a as a fulcrum.
By such bending deformation of the battery mounting table 9, the tip 11a of the non-stretchable linear material 11 causes the non-stretchable linear material 11 to be fed out in the direction from the support base end 9a of the battery mounting table 9 toward the tip edge 9b. .

かかる非伸縮線状材11の繰り出しは、非伸縮線状材11を案内しているガイドローラ12の対応方向(図3の時計方向)への回転を生起させ、当該ガイドローラ12の回転量(非伸縮線状材11の繰り出し量)がバッテリ載置台9の撓み変形量に対応する。
よって、当該ガイドローラ12の回転量を検出する回転センサ15の検出値からバッテリ載置台9の撓み変形量を判定することができる。
従って非伸縮線状材11は、回転センサ15と共に、本発明におけるバッテリ載置台変形検知手段に相当する。
The unwinding of the non-stretchable linear material 11 causes the guide roller 12 guiding the non-stretchable linear material 11 to rotate in the corresponding direction (clockwise in FIG. 3), and the rotation amount of the guide roller 12 ( The feed amount of the non-stretchable linear material 11) corresponds to the bending deformation amount of the battery mounting table 9.
Therefore, the amount of bending deformation of the battery mounting base 9 can be determined from the detection value of the rotation sensor 15 that detects the rotation amount of the guide roller 12.
Therefore, the non-stretchable linear material 11 together with the rotation sensor 15 corresponds to the battery mounting table deformation detecting means in the present invention.

かかるバッテリ載置台9の撓み変形時は図3(c)に示すごとく、上記非伸縮線状材11の繰り出し量に相当する長さだけ非伸縮線状材11を手繰り戻すよう、モータ13により端末ローラ14を回転駆動させ、ガイドローラ12を図3(a)の基準位置に回転復帰させる。
この間、非伸縮線状材11の先端11aは、これが係着されているバッテリ載置台9の先端縁9bに対し、図3(b)に示す下向き変形力F1と逆向きの変形抗力F2を生じさせ、
図3(b)に示すバッテリ載置台9の変形を、図3(c)に示すようになくすか、または少なくとも小さくすることができる。
従ってモータ13および端末ローラ14は、非伸縮線状材11と共に、本発明における変形抗力発生手段に相当する。
When the battery mounting table 9 is bent and deformed, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the terminal is driven by the motor 13 so that the non-stretchable linear material 11 is rewinded by a length corresponding to the feed amount of the non-stretchable linear material 11. The roller 14 is rotated and the guide roller 12 is rotated and returned to the reference position shown in FIG.
During this time, the tip 11a of the non-stretchable linear material 11 generates a deformation resistance F2 opposite to the downward deformation force F1 shown in FIG. 3 (b) against the tip edge 9b of the battery mounting table 9 to which the non-stretchable linear material 11 is attached. Let
The deformation of the battery mounting table 9 shown in FIG. 3 (b) can be eliminated or at least made small as shown in FIG. 3 (c).
Therefore, the motor 13 and the terminal roller 14 together with the non-stretchable linear material 11 correspond to the deformation drag generating means in the present invention.

[作用効果]
上記した第1実施例になる電動車両のバッテリ取付け装置にあっては、
バッテリ載置台9の片持ち梁支持基端9aと、この基端9aから遠いバッテリ載置台9の先端縁9bとの間に張設した非伸縮線状材11の基端9aから先端縁9bへの繰り出し量を基にバッテリ載置台9の撓み変形量を検知し、
非伸縮線状材11を上記の繰り出し量に相当する長さだけ、モータ13および端末ローラ14により手繰り戻して、バッテリ重量によるバッテリ載置台9の変形力F1に抵抗する変形抗力F2を生じさせるため、
この変形抗力F2で、バッテリ7の重量によるバッテリ載置台9の変形を無くし得るか、少なくとも低減し得ることとなる。
[Effect]
In the battery mounting device of the electric vehicle according to the first embodiment described above,
From the base end 9a of the non-stretchable linear material 11 stretched between the cantilever support base end 9a of the battery mounting base 9 and the front end edge 9b of the battery mounting base 9 far from the base end 9a to the front end edge 9b The amount of bending deformation of the battery mounting base 9 is detected based on the amount of
In order to generate a deformation drag F2 that resists the deformation force F1 of the battery mounting table 9 due to the weight of the battery by hand-retracting the non-stretchable linear material 11 by the motor 13 and the terminal roller 14 by a length corresponding to the above-mentioned feeding amount. ,
With this deformation resistance F2, the deformation of the battery mounting table 9 due to the weight of the battery 7 can be eliminated or at least reduced.

従って、バッテリ載置台9の変形に起因して、バッテリ取付け作業時にバッテリ7がバッテリ収納空所2の周壁ガイド部に噛み込んだり、引っかかるようなことがなくなり、
バッテリ7を、空になってバッテリ収納空所2から取り出そうとする時に、バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2から取り外すことができなくなる懸念を払拭することができる。
Therefore, due to the deformation of the battery mounting table 9, the battery 7 does not bite or get caught in the peripheral wall guide part of the battery housing space 2 during the battery mounting operation,
The concern that the battery 7 cannot be removed from the battery housing space 2 when the battery 7 is empty and is taken out from the battery housing space 2 can be eliminated.

また、バッテリ載置台9の変形に起因して、バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2内に挿入した時に、バッテリ側のロック部(図示せず)と、バッテリ収納空所側(車体側)ロック部(同じく図示せず)との相対位置が正規の位置からずれてしまうようなこともなくなり、
バッテリ7をバッテリ収納空所2内(車体)に対しロックすることができず、バッテリ7が搭載困難になるという懸念も払拭することができる。
When the battery 7 is inserted into the battery storage space 2 due to the deformation of the battery mounting table 9, the battery side lock portion (not shown) and the battery storage space side (vehicle body side) lock portion (Also not shown) the relative position with respect to the regular position is no longer shifted,
