電動車両
　本発明は、リチウムイオン電池を搭載している電動車両の構造に関する。
　近年、環境問題対策の１つとして、モータからの駆動力により走行するハイブリッド車、燃料電池車、電気自動車などの電動車両が注目されている。このような電動車両には、バッテリなどの二次電池が搭載される。車両の駆動用電源を構成する二次電池としては、ニッケル水素電池や鉛蓄電池などが使用されていた。
　車両駆動用の二次電池は車室内の空調された空気によって冷却するために車室内に設置されることが多い。特に車室内用の空調装置の能力を効率的に使用するために車室内の空気を二次電池に送って二次電池の冷却を行った後、温度の上昇した空気を車室内に戻し、その温度の上昇した空気を車室内用の空調装置によって冷却することが行われている。この方式の場合、二次電池を冷却した空気を外部に排出するよりも空調効率が良くなるためである。また、二次電池から外部に連通するダクトが不要となるため、このダクトから侵入する騒音をなくすことができ、車室内の騒音を低減することができるためである。
　一方、車両駆動用の二次電池としてニッケル水素電池や鉛蓄電などよりもエネルギー密度が高く、小形化できるリチウムイオン電池が用いられるようになってきている。しかし、リチウムイオン電池は、車両の衝突などによって電池パックに衝撃力がかかった際にリチウムイオン電池内部での短絡などに起因して煙が発生する可能性がある。この場合、上記のように二次電池が車室内に設置されていると、発生した煙が車室内に入り込むため、車室内の煙を排出する必要がある。
　そこで、電池パックに衝撃が加わり、内部のリチウムイオン電池から発生した煙が車室内に入り込んだとしても、その煙を車両外に排出することができるように、車両の衝突などが予想される場合に予め車室と車両外とを連通して、煙を車室外に排出する方法が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開２００７－９９０７５号公報
　特許文献１に記載された従来技術は、車両に設けられた衝突検知センサやレーダ装置によって、車両の衝突を予測し、エアコンの起動や窓の開放を行なうようにしたものである。このため、衝突せず、車両に衝撃が加わらない場合にもエアコンの起動や窓の開放が行なわれてしまう。このような動作は、ユーザの意思に反する動作となる場合があり、ユーザに違和感を与える場合がある。また、電池パックに衝撃力がかからない場合でもリチウムイオン電池の状態によっては煙が発生する可能性もあるが、特許文献１の従来技術では、衝撃以外の原因によって煙が発生した場合には、搭乗者などが窓を開放するなどしてその煙を排出することが必要なため、煙を速やかに排出できないという問題があった。
　本発明は、車室内に搭載されたリチウムイオン電池から煙が発生した際に速やかに煙を車外に排出することを目的とする。
　本発明の電動車両は、車室内に搭載されているリチウムイオン電池と、リチウムイオン電池の状態を検出する電池状態検出手段と、車室内の空気を換気する換気機構と、換気機構の始動停止を行う制御部と、を備える電動車両であって、制御部は、電池状態検出手段によって検出した電池状態値が所定の閾値を越えている際にはリチウムイオン電池の異常と判断し、換気機構を始動する換気機構始動手段、を備えることを特徴とする。
　本発明の電動車両において、リチウムイオン電池の状態が異常の際にリチウムイオン電池から発生するガスを車室内に排出するガス排出路を含み、電池状態検出手段は、リチウムイオン電池に取りつけられた電圧センサと温度センサと、ガス排出路に設けられたガスセンサとガス温度センサと、のいずれか１つまたは複数の組み合わせであり、換気機構は、外気を車室内に導入する外気導入機構と、車室の窓ガラスを駆動モータによって移動させる窓ガラス駆動機構と、を含み、換気始動手段は、外気導入機構始動手段と、窓ガラス駆動機構によって窓ガラスの開放を開始する窓開放開始手段と、を含むこと、としても好適である。
　本発明の電動車両において、リチウムイオン電池上部を覆い、ガス排出路が接続され、リチウムイオン電池が異常の際にリチウムイオン電池から発生したガスを集合させるチャンバを備え、ガスセンサまたはガス温度センサのいずれか一方または両方がチャンバの上部内面に設けられていること、としても好適であるし、ガスセンサは、一酸化炭素ガスセンサまたは水素ガスセンサの何れか一方または両方であること、としても好適である。
　本発明は、車室内に搭載されたリチウムイオン電池から煙が発生した際に速やかに煙を車外に排出することができるという効果を奏する。
本発明の実施形態における電動車両の構成を示す説明図である。 本発明の実施形態における電動車両の搭載される電池パックの平面と側面とを示す説明図である。 本発明の実施形態における電動車両の制御系統を示す系統図である。 本発明の実施形態における電動車両の動作を示すフローチャートである。 本発明の実施形態における電動車両の電池異常の際のセル電圧とセル温度と一酸化炭素濃度の変化と、外気導入機構と窓ガラス駆動機構の指令信号の変化を示すグラフである。
　以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態について説明する。図１に示すように、本実施形態の電動車両１００は、車体１０と、車体１０の内部にあって前方仕切り１２と後方仕切り１３とによって仕切られた車室１１と、を備えている。前方仕切り１２の前方にあるボンネットには図示しないエンジン、車両駆動用のモータジェネレータ、動力分配機構、インバータ、駆動用ギヤなどが納められている。車体１０には、窓ガラス４１を持つドア４０が開閉自在に取り付けられている。窓ガラス４１は図示しない駆動用モータとギヤによって上下に開閉される。駆動モータとギヤとは窓ガラス駆動機構を構成する。
　前方仕切り１２の前方のボンネットには、車室１１に空気を送る空調ファン１７が設けられている。空調ファン１７には、車室１１に接続された車室空気吸い込み管１５と、車外から外気を吸い込む外気吸い込み管１６と、車室空気吸い込み管１５と外気吸い込み管１６との間で吸い込み流路を切り替える流路切り替えダンパ１９と、が取り付けられている。また、空調ファン１７には、車室空気吸い込み管１５または外気吸い込み管１６から吸い込んだ空気を車室１１に送り込む空気吹き出し管１８が接続されている。空気吹き出し管１８には図示しない空調装置の熱交換器が取り付けられ、吸い込んだ空気を冷却して車室１１に送り込むように構成されている。流路切り替えダンパ１９が車室空気吸い込み管１５側に切り替えられている場合には、車室１１は略密閉状態となり、外気はほとんど車室１１内に侵入してこない。外気吸い込み管１６と、流路切り替えダンパ１９と、空調ファン１７と空気吹き出し管１８とは外気導入機構を構成する。先に説明した窓ガラス駆動機構と外気導入機構とは換気機構を構成する。
　車室１１には運転者や乗員の座るシートが配置され、運転席のシートと助手席のシートとの間にカバー１４で仕切られた電池設置スペースが設けられている。電池設置スペースは車室１１と連通するよう構成されている。電池設置スペースの中には複数のリチウムイオン電池のセル２１が納められた電池パック２０が取り付けられている。電池パック２０には車室１１内から冷却用空気を吸い込む空気吸い込み管路２３と、電池パック２０を冷却して温度の上昇した空気を電池パック２０から車室１１に排出する空気排出管路２５とが取り付けられている。空気吸い込み管路２３には冷却ファン２４が取り付けられている。また、電池パック２０に納められているリチウムイオン電池の各セル２１の上面には、各セル２１の内部で正負の電極が接触するような異常状態の際に各セル２１から発生するガスを逃がすための逃がし管２６が取り付けられている。逃がし管２６の端面には発生したガスによってセル２１の内圧が上昇した際に破裂してセル２１内部のガスを外部に逃がすラプチャーディスク２６ａが設けられている。電池パック２０の上面には逃がし管２６から放出されたガスを集合するチャンバ２７が設けられている。チャンバ２７にはガスを車室１１に排出するガス排出路２８が設けられている。
　図２（ａ）に示すように、電池パック２０は、板状のセル２１を立てて電池パック２０のケーシング２２の幅方向に隙間をあけて並べたものである。それぞれのセル２１から蓄電電力を取り出し、合計して電池パック２０の出力として出力する。各セル２１の間の隙間には冷却ファン２４によって空気吸込み管路２３から空気排出管路２５に向かって冷却空気が流され、各セル２１は運転範囲温度となるように冷却される。図２（ａ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、各セル２１の中央の上部には逃がし管２６とラプチャーディスク２６ａとが設けられている。各セル２１には、各セル２１の出力電圧を測定するセル電圧センサ３２と各セル２１の温度を測定するセル温度センサ３１とがそれぞれ取り付けられている。
　図２（ｂ）に示すように、電池パック２０の上部に設けられたチャンバ２７の上側の内部にガス温度センサ３３と、一酸化炭素ガスセンサ３４と、水素ガスセンサ３５とが取り付けられている。これらの各センサ３３，３４，３５は各セル２１に設けられている各逃がし管２６の直上付近に取り付けられ、各セル２１から放出されたガスが直接各センサ３３，３４，３５にあたって感度よく温度、一酸化炭素ガス、水素ガスの検出をすることができるよう構成されている。なお、ガス温度センサ３３と、一酸化炭素ガスセンサ３４と、水素ガスセンサ３５をチャンバ２７の上部内面の中央付近に１つずつ取り付けてもよい。また、図２（ｂ）に示すように、ガスを車室１１に排出するガス排出路２８にはガス温度センサ３６と、一酸化炭素ガスセンサ３７と、水素ガスセンサ３８とが取り付けられている。
　各セル２１に取り付けられ、各セル２１の出力電圧を測定するセル電圧センサ３２、各セル２１の温度を測定するセル温度センサ３１及び、チャンバ２７に取り付けられたガス温度センサ３３と、一酸化炭素ガスセンサ３４と、水素ガスセンサ３５及びガス排出路２８に取り付けられた温度センサ３６と、一酸化炭素ガスセンサ３７と、水素ガスセンサ３８とはリチウムイオン電池である電池パック２０の状態を検出する電池状態検出手段を構成する。
　図３に示すように、電池パック２０に取り付けられた各センサ３１～３８はそれぞれ電動車両１００に搭載される制御部５０に接続されている。本実施形態では、制御部５０は、内部にＣＰＵとメモリとを備えるコンピュータである。なお、図中の一点鎖線は信号線を示す。図３に示すように、制御部５０は外気導入機構始動手段５１と窓開放開始手段５２とを備えている。電動車両１００の空調ファン１７と流路切り替えダンパ１９とは、ファン・ダンパインターフェース５４を介して制御部５０に接続され、制御部５０の指令によって駆動されるよう構成されている。また、電動車両１００のドア４０の窓ガラス４１を開閉駆動する駆動モータ４２は窓ガラス駆動機構インターフェース５５を介して制御部５０に接続され、制御部５０の指令によって駆動されるよう構成されている。
　以上説明したように構成される電動車両１００の動作について、図４と図５を参照しながら説明する。図４のステップＳ１０１に示すように、制御部５０は、セル温度センサ３１とセル電圧センサ３２によって電池パック２０の各セル２１の温度、電圧を取得する。また制御部５０は電池パック２０のチャンバ２７に設けられた各センサ３３～３５によってチャンバ２７のガス温度、一酸化炭素濃度、水素濃度を取得する。また、制御部５０はガス排出路２８に設けられた各センサ３６～３８によってガス排出路２８のガス温度、一酸化炭素濃度、水素濃度を取得する。そして、制御部５０は図４のステップＳ１０２に示すように、電池パック２０に異常が発生しているかどうかを判断する。
　図５に示す時間ゼロの時点では、各セル２１のセル電圧は通常出力で、セル温度、ガス排出路２８の一酸化炭素濃度はいずれも閾値以下となっている。このような状態の場合には、制御部５０は、電池パック２０が正常で、発煙はないと判断し、図４に示すステップＳ１０１に戻って各センサ３１～３８によって電池パック２０の状態を監視する。
　一方、図５の時間ｔ1に示すように、１つまたは複数のセル２１のセル電圧が略ゼロに低下すると共に、セル温度が閾値以上となり、更にガス排出路２８の一酸化炭素濃度が閾値以上となった場合には、制御部５０は電池パック２０に異常が発生したものと判断する。これは、セル２１の内部で正負の電極が接触して出力電圧がゼロになり、セル２１の内部での電池の温度の上昇によってセル内部にガスが発生し、そのガス圧力によってラプチャーディスク２６ａが破れて一酸化炭素を含むガスがセル２１からチャンバ２７を経てガス排出路２８に流れ、車室１１内にガスが煙となって侵入する状態となっていると判断することができる為である。
　この異常発生の判断は様々なセンサによって判断するようにすることができる。上記の実施形態では、セル電圧とセル温度と一酸化炭素濃度がいずれも閾値を越えた場合に異常が発生したと判断したが、例えば、セル電圧が略ゼロで一酸化炭素濃度が所定の値よりも大きくなった場合に電池パック２０に異常が発生したものと判断しても良いし、温度と一酸化炭素濃度が閾値を越えた場合に電池パック２０に異常が発生したものと判断するようにしても良い。また、一酸化炭素濃度に代えて、ガスの中に含まれているもうひとつの特徴的な成分である水素濃度が閾値を越えた場合に電池パック２０に異常が発生したものと判断しても良い。
　制御部５０は、電池パック２０に異常が発生したと判断した場合には、図４のステップＳ１０３に示すように、その異常状態が所定の時間継続したかどうかを判断する。例えば、制御部５０は、所定間隔ごとに各センサ３１～３８によって電池の状態を取得し、その結果異常状態と判断されるごとにカウンタを１つずつ積算し、カウンタが所定の数値に達した場合に所定時間だけ異常状態が継続したと判断するようにしてもよいし、電池パック２０が異常と判断した際に制御部５０内のタイマを起動し、所定時間後に各センサ３１～３８によって電池状態を取得し、その際に電池パック２０が異常状態にある場合には、所定の時間だけ異常状態が継続したと判断するようにしても良い。
　制御部５０は、図５の時間Δｔのように、所定時間だけ電池パック２０の異常状態が継続したと判断すると、図４のステップＳ１０４、図５の時間ｔ2に示すように、電池パック２０から煙が発生している状態が確定したと判断する。
　制御部５０は電池パック２０からの発煙が確定すると、図４のステップＳ１０５及び図５の時間ｔ3に示すように、外気導入機構始動手段５１によって外気導入指令をファン・ダンパインターフェース５４に出力する。この指令によってファン・ダンパインターフェース５４は流路切り替えダンパ１９を外気吸い込み管１６側に切り替えると共に空調ファン１７を始動させ、外気を空気吹き出し管１８から車室１１内に導入する。この際、空調ファン１７の回転数を高回転モードに設定して導入する外気を増やすようにしても良い。また、制御部５０は図４のステップＳ１０６及び図５の時間ｔ4に示すように、窓開放開始手段５２によって窓を開放する指令を窓ガラス駆動機構インターフェース５５出力する。この指令によって、窓ガラス駆動機構インターフェース５５は、駆動モータ４２を始動して窓ガラス４１を降下させて窓の開放を行う。窓ガラス４１の降下は窓が全開となるまで降下させることとしても良いし、半開まで降下させることとしてもよい。
　空気吹き出し管１８から車室１１内に外気が導入されると共に、窓ガラス４１が降下して窓が開放されると、車室１１内は外気によって換気され、ガス排出路２８から車室１１内に侵入した煙は開放された窓から車室１１の外部に排出される。図５に示すように、発煙確定からしばらくすると、セル２１からのガスの放出が停止し、ガス排出路２８の一酸化炭素濃度は急速に低下し、初期の状態に戻る。また、セル２１の温度も時間と共に低下し、しばらくすると略初期の温度に戻る。
　制御部５０は、図４のステップＳ１０７に示すように、外気を導入すると共に窓を開放してから所定の時間が経過したかどうかを判断する。これは制御部５０内部のタイマによって時間カウントしても良いし、制御部５０内部の積算カウンで時間を積算しても良い。
　制御部５０は、外気を導入すると共に窓を開放してから所定の時間が経過したと判断した場合には、図５の時間ｔ5に図４のステップＳ１０８とステップＳ１０９に示すように、ファン・ダンパインターフェース５４に外気導入停止指令を出力する。ファン・ダンパインターフェース５４はこの指令によって、空調ファン１７を停止し、流路切り替えダンパ１９を車室空気吸い込み管１５側に切り替える。制御部５０は窓開放停止指令を窓ガラス駆動機構インターフェース５５に出力する。この指令によって、図５の時間ｔ6に窓ガラス駆動機構インターフェース５５は駆動モータ４２を停止し、窓の開放を停止する。この場合、既に窓が全開となっていた場合には、窓ガラス４１の移動は行われず、全開状態が維持される。
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、リチウムイオン電池の電池パック２０の各セル２１或いはチャンバ２７、ガス排出路２８に取り付けたセンサ３１～３８によって電池パック２０の異常の検出と発煙の判断を行っているので、電池パック２０から煙が発生した際に速やかに煙を車外に排出することができ、煙による視界不良を抑制することができるという効果を奏する。また、電池パック２０からの煙が発生していない場合に、空調ファン１７の始動や窓の開放を行うことが抑制されるので、ユーザに違和感を与えることが無いという効果を奏する。
　本実施形態によれば、電動車両１００の衝突などによって電池パック２０に衝撃が加わることによる煙の発生以外に、例えば、内部短絡、過充電、過熱などの電池パック２０のセル２１の異常によって煙が発生した場合も、速やかに煙を車外に排出することができるという効果を奏する。
