本発明は、車両のバッテリ電圧の低下を自動的に検出し
て負荷への給電をしゃ断する車両用自動電源スィッチに
関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatic power switch for a vehicle that automatically detects a drop in battery voltage of a vehicle and cuts off power supply to a load.

る装置も周知である。[Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention] Conventional equipment to prevent battery consumption monitors the battery voltage and issues a warning when the voltage falls below the minimum specified voltage that can reliably start the starter motor. Various systems are well known, such as warning the driver if he or she forgets to turn off the light or remove the key. Furthermore, devices are well known that detect the absence of passengers based on sounds and vibrations inside the vehicle and automatically interrupt power supply.
しかしながら、エンジン停止中でもバッテリの使用を許

電源スィッチを提供することを目的とする。In view of this, the present invention automatically interrupts the battery power supply when the voltage drops below the specified voltage while the battery is in use with the ignition switch in the OFF position, and also reduces the power consumption of the circuit for this purpose. When I lost it and set the ignition switch to the ACC position to confirm,
An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic power switch for a vehicle capable of obtaining a warning that the voltage has decreased.

る電圧レベル判断手段3とより構成した。To achieve this objective, the present invention provides a normally open primary battery inserted between the battery l and the load, as shown in FIG.
A normally open second switching element 4a inserted between the switching element 4 and the ACC contact of the battery l and the ignition switch 2, and an alarm means 5 that issues an alarm with light, sound, etc.
It connects to the CC contact to determine whether the battery voltage goes above or below a predetermined level, and when it goes above, closes the first and second switching elements 4.4a, and when it goes below, activates the alarm means 5. The voltage level determining means 3 is configured to determine the voltage level.

しても開閉素子4.4aは常に閉成状態に保持される。When ignition switch 2 is set to the ACC position,
The battery voltage supplied through the ACC contact is compared in the voltage level determining means 3 with a reference voltage corresponding to the lowest permissible voltage at which the starter can be operated. If there is a margin, the output signal closes the first and second switching elements 4.4a. As a result, power is supplied to the load, and the battery voltage is also supplied to the voltage level determining means 3 through the switching element 4a, so that a self-holding state is established, and even if the ignition switch 2 is returned to the OFF position, the switching element 4 .4a is always kept closed.

での電力消費も無くなる。Therefore, while the engine is stopped, various loads such as a clock, radio, lamp, etc. can be used by operating the associated switches. On the other hand, if the battery voltage falls below the reference voltage in this state, the voltage level determining means 3 opens the switching element 4.4a and interrupts the power supply.
The self-holding state described above is also released and the voltage level determining means 3
Power consumption will also be eliminated.

When the CC position is set to t, the battery voltage is supplied to the voltage level determining means 3, and it is determined that the voltage is below the reference voltage.
Due to the detection, the alarm means 5 is activated.

is supplied to make the switching element 4.4a self-maintain in the closed state again.

よりリレー20は閉成状態に保持される。When the battery 8 is newly connected, by setting the -B ignition switch 9 to the ACC position t, the output signal of the comparator 12 turns on the transistor Tr2, activates the relay 20, and connects the load through the contact 20a. Let the power supply be carried out. After that, turn the ignition switch 9 to O.
Even at the FF level t, the relay 20 is maintained in the closed state by the self-holding action through the contact 20b.

When the voltage drops below SV, the comparator 12 turns off the transistor Tr2, opens the relay 20, and activates the blinking oscillation circuit 15 to blink the LEDI, thereby warning of a voltage drop. This warning continues until the charging voltage of capacitor C2 falls below a predetermined voltage. Even after the warning ends, if you turn the ignition switch 9 to the ACCCC position, the LED

consumption of the starter is prevented and the starter is kept ready for operation. However, if necessary, for example, to turn on the parking light when parking at night, it is possible to prepare for an emergency by turning on the switch 21. Further, it is conceivable that the reference voltage may be set with a margin in consideration of such matters. Battery voltage is 11. When the engine is operated again with the voltage below SV and the battery voltage is increased by the alternator, the comparator 12 detects the voltage increase and puts the relay 20 into the self-holding state again.

Avoid. Further, during this time, the power supply to the circuit portion that causes such an effect is also interrupted by utilizing the self-holding effect, thereby saving power. Furthermore, such a low battery voltage state can be confirmed without consuming power by momentarily setting the ignition switch to the ACC position.
