Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a main relay contact from damaging by turning on the main relay only when a key switch has been turned on after a charging terminal cover is closed and turning off the main relay only after the key switch has been turned off. SOLUTION: A switch movable contact 5A-1 of a charging terminal cover switch 5A comes to a position shown by the solid line (ON to terminal 5Ab) when the charging terminal cover of a connector 4-2 is closed, and comes to a position shown by the dotted line (ON to terminal 5Ac when the charging terminal cover is open. If a key switch 11 is turned on mistakenly during charging, a current flows through a path of sub-battery 12 → key switch 11 → switch movable contact 5A-1 in dotted line → a normally closed contact 15-2 → a first relay coil 14-1 → earth, and a first relay contact 14-2 is switched to the position of the dotted line. By doing this, a start, signal is not transmitted to a second relay 15, so that no start signal is transmitted to a main relay 8 and thus any damage to the main relay contact 8-2 can be prevented.

As the battery of an electric vehicle is consumed as it travels, a charging device is provided at the base of the electric vehicle and is charged by a commercial power source. Charging is performed by connecting a charging cable extending from the charging device to a connector of the electric vehicle. The voltage from the charger is slightly higher than the nominal voltage of the battery. The charging cable is always handled by the operator and the voltage supplied by it is relatively high, so that it is well insulated.
Also, it is dropped on the ground, so it's mechanically strong.

(3) When the key switch 11 is turned on after the charging is finished. Since the charging terminal cover switch 5 is turned on, when the key switch 11 is turned on, the main relay 8 and the drive motor control device 9 are activated. A signal is input. That is, since a current flows to the main relay 8 in the route of the sub battery 12, the key switch 11, the charging terminal cover switch 5, the main relay coil 8-1, and the ground, the main relay contact 8-2 is turned on, Power supply from the main battery 7 is started. Therefore, the drive motor 10 also

The above-mentioned conventional power supply device for an electric vehicle has the following problems. First
The problem is that if the key switch 11 is accidentally turned on during charging and you forget to turn it off again, the charging terminal cover switch 5 will turn on at the moment you finish charging and close the charging terminal cover. That is, the main relay 8 is turned on and power supply is started. This is dangerous because the driver suddenly powers up unintentionally, and inrush current may damage the main relay contacts.

A second problem is that the charging terminal cover is closed when the vehicle travels, so the charging terminal cover switch 5 should remain on. However, if the charging terminal cover is not properly set up, the vehicle travels. The vibration sometimes turns off, and the main relay 8 sometimes turns off.
With this, each device cannot operate normally. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

(6) When the charging terminal cover is opened due to vibration or the like during traveling (case of the second problem) When the charging terminal cover is opened, the switch movable contact 5A-1 is switched to the position indicated by the dotted line. The path through which current flows through the 5Ab to the second relay coil 15-1 is cut off. However, the other path (path through diode 16) is
Even if the charging terminal cover is opened, it is not affected by anything, so it is still alive and keeps the activation signal passing. Therefore, the contact state of the second relay 15 does not change, and the main relay 8 also remains ON.

The operation is performed as described above. Here, the operation when the main relay 8 is turned on and the operation of turning off the main relay 8 that is on are summarized as follows. When the main relay 8 is turned on, the current for turning on the main relay 8 is
2 → key switch 11 → first relay contact 14 in solid line position
-2 → normally open contact 15-3 of second relay → main relay coil 8-1 → current flowing through a path of ground. Therefore, when the key switch 11 is turned on, in order for this path to be formed, the first relay 14 remains deenergized (the first relay contact 14-2 is in the solid line position), and the second relay 15 is It must be energized (normally open contact 15-3 on).

In order for the first relay 14 to remain deenergized when the key switch 11 is turned on, it is necessary that the charging terminal cover switch 5A is in the position indicated by the solid line (the charging terminal cover is closed). . Further, in order to activate the second relay 15 when the key switch 11 is turned on,
Again, it is necessary that the charging terminal cover switch 5A is in the position indicated by the solid line (the charging terminal cover is closed). As is clear from these, in the present invention, the main relay 8 is turned on only when the key switch 11 is turned on with the charging terminal cover closed.

When turning off the main relay 8 that is on When the main relay 8 is on, the path described at the beginning of the above section is formed, and the current from the sub-battery 12 is flowing. Therefore, to turn it off, it suffices to cut off somewhere along this path. Since the second relay is self-holding by the current passing through the first relay, the charging terminal cover switch 5A does not cut off whatever the operating state of the charging terminal cover switch 5A is. The first relay 14 is energized by the second relay 15 (hence the normally closed contact 1
Since 5-2 is turned off, it is deenergized (thus,
Since the first relay contact 14-2 continues to maintain the solid line position), it is not cut off again. Only the key switch 11 remains as a means for blocking the path. Thus, the main relay 8 which has been turned on is turned off only when the key switch 11 is turned off.
