Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform inspection and repair safely and reliably by mounting a high voltage driving battery and a low voltage control battery individually and switching a driving circuit to the control battery when a bonnet open/close detector detects an open state. CONSTITUTION:A charger 7 charges a driving battery 9 with a high voltage, e.g. 96V, and charges a control battery 10 with a low voltage, e.g. 24V. Output from the battery 9 is fed through a switch 1 and a drive circuit 5 to a motor 6 thus rotating the motor 6. Output from the battery 10 is fed to a switch control circuit 8 or an auxiliary machine (not shown) thus driving the auxiliary machine. Opening of bonnet is detected through an open/close detector 2 which then turns the switch 1 is shown by dot lines thus feeding power from the low voltage battery 10 to the drive circuit 5. The switch 1 can also be switched through operation of a manual switch 3. According to the constitution, an electric automobile can be inspected or repaired safely and reliably.

(Prior Art) In an electric vehicle, a motor is usually driven by current from a storage battery. The voltage of the storage battery can be kept relatively low in golf carts etc. due to the low running speed, but in order to drive on general roads, the electric motor needs to be made faster and more efficient.
Generally, a high voltage of 96V or higher is required. In order to prevent electric shock accidents during inspections of these electric vehicles, a safety device has been known that disconnects the main circuit when the hood of the electric vehicle is opened.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However,
In conventional electric vehicles, which are equipped with a safety device that disconnects the main circuit when the bonnet is opened, the main circuit is disconnected when the safety device is activated. When carrying out inspections, it was necessary to disable the safety device. When the safety device is released, the high voltage of the storage battery is connected to various wiring inside the bonnet, which poses a problem in that there is a high possibility of electric shock during inspection.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that it includes a manual switch means for generating a signal that enables connection of the drive circuit to the drive storage battery regardless of the signal state of the bonnet opening/closing state detection device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electric vehicle according to the present invention. 1
is a connection switching circuit that can switch the power source of the drive circuit 5 to the storage battery 9 for the body 1 or the storage battery 10 for control. The voltage of the drive storage battery 9 is 96V, and the voltage of the control storage battery 1 is 96V.
The voltage of 0 is 24V. Reference numeral 7 denotes a charger that can charge the control storage battery from the drive storage battery while electrically discharging the battery using a switching regulator.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a hood open/close state detection device which sends a signal to the control circuit 8 depending on the open/close state of the bonnet. Reference numeral 3 denotes a manual switch, which is mechanically connected to the bonnet so that it is in a cutoff state when the bonnet is closed.

To explain the operation of this embodiment, first, in the normal running state, the bonnet is closed, so the bonnet open/closed state detection device outputs a signal indicating the closed state. At this time, the control device 8 connects the connection switching circuit to the drive storage battery, and the drive circuit 5 drives the electric motor 6. The maximum value of the line voltage of the electric motor 6 is 96V, which is the same as that of the drive storage battery.

Next, during inspection, when the bonnet is opened, a bonnet open/close state detection device 2 sends a bonnet open state signal to the control device 8. The control device 8 connects the connection switching circuit 1 to the control storage battery 10 when the bonnet open state signal is received. Therefore, in this example, the maximum value of the potential difference in all wiring is 24V, which allows inspection and repair work to be performed much more safely than the potential difference of 96V when the drive storage battery is used as the power supply for the drive circuit. can.

Moreover, since it is possible to easily check the electric vehicle's tires while they are rotated, a complete inspection can be performed. Although the rotational speed of the electric motor 6 is limited to approximately 1/4 of the maximum rotational speed, most inspections can be performed in this state.

Operate the manual switch 3 only when inspection at maximum rotation is required. Since the manual switch is mechanically connected to the bonnet, it is always in a cut-off state at the start of inspection. When the manual switch 3 is turned on, the control circuit 8 ignores the signal from the hood open/closed state detection device 2 and connects the connection switching circuit 1 to the drive storage battery 9 even if the bonnet is open. In this state, inspection can be performed at the highest rotational speed, similar to when the vehicle is actually running. Even in this case, the worker consciously operates the manual switch 3, so the safety awareness of the worker is confirmed, and since the safety of electric vehicles has already been confirmed at low voltage, there is no danger. It is extremely small compared to conventional safety devices.

In addition, although the present invention assumes that all electrical devices exist inside the hood, if they are distributed in various locations, separate circuits for detecting the opening/closing status of the inspection lids are provided to connect them in parallel. Similar operations can be performed by connecting.
