電気ヒータ30および発電装置11の搭載部P、Qそれぞれは、空調で行われる熱交換の空間を形成する熱交換空間形成部となっている。この点、例えば電気ヒータ30や発電装置11に筐体を設け、設けた筐体を熱交換空間形成部とすることもできる。
利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段は例えば車両の使用状態、或いは使用状況に応じて利用状態を変更するように実現することができる。
また利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段は例えば電気ヒータ30または発電装置11のうち、少なくともいずれかの空調能力を個別に調整するように実現することや、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11との間で利用する空調手段を切り替えるように実現することや、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11との間で利用比率を調整するように実現することができる。
また車両側ECU50Aでは、空調変更手段が具体的には発電装置11が発電可能であるか否かに応じて、利用する空調手段を切り替えるように実現される。
なお、空調変更手段は空調スイッチ23が既にONになっている場合だけでなく、空調スイッチ23がOFFになっている場合でも利用状態を変更することができる。すなわち、空調変更手段が変更する利用状態には、現に利用されている状態だけでなく、これから利用されるべき状態も含まれている。
発電装置11が発電可能であるか否かを診断するにあたり、診断手段は具体的には発電装置11の発電可能状態について診断するように実現される。
この点、診断手段は例えば発電装置11が搭載されているか否かを判断することで、発電装置11の発電可能状態について診断するよう実現することができる。
また診断手段は例えば、さらに発電装置11の搭載状態が正規の状態であるか否かを検出するために設けられた図示しないインターロック装置(例えば発電装置11の固定確認装置や、発電装置11の搭載部Qに対して設けられた開閉機構のロック確認装置)が正規の状態を検出しているか否か、発電装置11の燃料が十分(所定量以上)であるか否か、発電装置11の電気的接続状態に異常がないか否か、発電装置11の機械的な接続状態に異常がないか否か、発電装置11に故障などの異常がないか否か、またはこれらの判断内容を適宜組み合わせて判断することで、発電装置11の発電可能状態について診断するよう実現できる。
具体的には診断手段は、上述した各判断内容を組み合わせて判断した結果、発電装置11が搭載されており、インターロック装置が正規の状態を検出しており、発電装置11の燃料が所定量以上であり、発電装置11の電気的および機械的な接続状態に異常がなく、且つ発電装置11に異常がないと判断した場合に、発電装置11が発電可能であると判断するように実現される。
一方、電気駆動式車両1Aは、発電装置11とは別に電気ヒータ30も備えている。これに対して電気駆動式車両1Aでは、車両の使用状態、或いは使用状況に応じて電気ヒータ30と発電装置11の利用状態を変更するようにすることで、様々な観点から空調の利用について適切性を確保できる。
また電気駆動式車両1Aでは、バッテリ電力を利用した空調以外の他の空調を行う発電装置11が、燃料を使用して発電を行うとともに、発電時の廃熱を利用した空調を行うようになっている。このため電気駆動式車両1Aは、バッテリ電力を利用した空調以外の他の空調を行う場合にコジェネレーションによるエネルギー利用の高効率化を図ることができる点でも好適である。
車両側ECU50Bは、空調変更手段が以下に示すように実現される点以外、車両側ECU50Aと実質的に同一のものとなっている。
車両側ECU50Bでは、利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段が電気ヒータ30と発電装置11との間で利用比率を調整するように実現される。
利用比率を調整するにあたり、空調変更手段は具体的にはバッテリ12の充電量に応じて利用比率を調整するように実現される。利用比率を調整するように実現される空調変更手段は、発電装置11が発電可能である場合に、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11とで同時に空調を行うことができるように実現される。
また空調変更手段は具体的には、バッテリ12の充電量が大きいほど電気ヒータ30の利用比率が高くなるように利用比率を調整するよう実現される。
この点、電気ヒータ30の利用比率は例えば最小で0%、最大で100%とすることができる。但しこれに限られず、電気ヒータ30の利用比率を例えば最小で0%よりも大きい値にするとともに、最大で100%よりも小さい値にすることも可能である。
この点、電気駆動式車両1Bでは、バッテリ12の充電量が大きいほど、電気ヒータ30の利用比率が高くなるように利用比率を調整する。そしてこれにより電気駆動式車両1Bは、バッテリ12の過充電を防止するとともに、発電装置11の燃料消費を抑制することができる。
一方、電気駆動式車両1Bでは、バッテリ12の充電量が小さいほど、電気ヒータ30の利用比率が低くなるように利用比率を調整する。そしてこれにより電気駆動式車両1Bは、バッテリ12の電力消費を抑制するとともにバッテリ12の充電を促進できることから、車両の航続距離を確保できる。
このため電気駆動式車両1Bは、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11との間で、合理的でバランスの良い空調を行える点で、空調の利用について適切性を確保することができる。
調整スイッチ25は図示しないインストルメントパネルに設けられている。調整スイッチ25は、発電装置11と電気ヒータ30との間で利用比率を調整可能な操作手段となっている。調整スイッチ25は具体的には、電気ヒータ30(換言すれは発電装置11)の利用比率を0%から100%までの間で適宜の値に調整できるようになっている。但しこれに限られず、例えば電気ヒータ30の利用比率を最小で0%よりも大きい値にするとともに、最大で100%よりも小さい値にすることも可能である。また、発電装置11と電気ヒータ30との間で利用比率を調整可能な操作手段は、例えば利用比率を段階的に調整可能に構成されたものであってもよい。
車両側ECU50Cは調整スイッチ25がさらに電気的に接続される点と、利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段が調整スイッチ25の状態に応じて電気ヒータ30と発電装置11との間で利用比率を調整するように実現される点以外、車両側ECU50Aと実質的に同一のものとなっている。利用比率を調整するように実現される空調変更手段は発電装置11が発電可能である場合に、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11とで同時に空調を行うことができるように実現される。
これに対して電気駆動式車両1Cでは、発電装置11が発電可能な場合であっても、調整スイッチ25で利用比率を調整することで、電気ヒータ30のみで、或いは電気ヒータ30を併用して空調を行うことができる。そしてこの場合には、は発電装置11の燃費消費を抑制しつつ空調を行うことができる。
また電気駆動式車両1Cでは、逆に車両の航続距離が長いと見込まれる場合には、電気ヒータ30の利用比率を下げることで、バッテリ12の電力消費を抑制し、これにより車両の航続距離を確保することもできる。
このため電気駆動式車両1Cは、車両の使用状況に応じた適切な空調を行える点で、空調の利用について適切性を確保することができる。
温度センサ64は、通風ダクト31Aのうち、電気ヒータ30および発電装置11の搭載部P、Qそれぞれよりも下流側の部分に設けられている。したがって温度センサ64は通風ダクト31Aのうち、一端側に設けられた2つの分岐部が集合する部分よりも下流側の部分に設けられている。具体的には温度センサ64は通風ダクト31Aの集合部に設けられており、さらに具体的には集合部のうち、最も下流側に位置する部分(具体的にはここでは他端側に設けられた複数の分岐部が集合する部分)に設けられている。このように設けられた温度センサ64は通風ダクト31Aの集合部の温度を検知することで、空調が行われた空気の温度を検知可能な検知手段となっている。
車両側ECU50Dでは、利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段が集合部の温度と、空調を行うにあたり設定された目標温度である要求温とに基づき、利用する空調手段の空調能力を調整するようにさらに実現される。
具体的には空調変更手段は、集合部の温度が要求温よりも低い場合には、集合部の温度が要求温以上である場合よりも、利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に高めるように実現される。また空調変更手段は、集合部の温度が要求温以上である場合には、集合部の温度が要求温より低い場合よりも、利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に低下させるように実現される。
空調変更手段は、空調を行っている場合に、集合部の温度と要求温とに基づき、利用する空調手段の空調能力を調整するように実現される。
なお、要求温は温度調節スイッチ24で設定することができる。
車両側ECU50Dは、空調スイッチ23の出力に基づき、空調を行っているか否かを判定する(ステップS31)。否定判定であれば、本フローチャートを一旦終了する。一方、ステップS31で肯定判定であれば、車両側ECU50Dは、集合部の温度が要求温よりも低いか否かを判定する(ステップS32)。肯定判定であれば、車両側ECU50DはステップS33で利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に高める(空調能力UP)。一方、ステップS32で否定判定であれば、車両側ECU50DはステップS34で利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に低下させる(空調能力DOWN)。
室温センサ65は車室10aに対して設けられており、室温を検知することで車室10a内の実温度を検知可能な検知手段となっている。
車両側ECU50Eでは、利用状態を変更するにあたり、空調変更手段が、少なくとも電気ヒータ30が空調を行っている状態で、要求温と室温との差が小さい場合に、空調能力が低下するように電気ヒータ30の空調能力を調整するようさらに実現される。
空調能力が低下するように電気ヒータ30の空調能力を調整するにあたり、空調変更手段は、具体的には電気ヒータ30への通電を中止することによって、電気ヒータ30の作動を停止するように実現される。
また空調変更手段はさらに具体的には、電気ヒータ30と発電装置11とが同時に空調を行っている状態で、要求温と室温との差が所定値αよりも小さい場合に、電気ヒータ30の作動を停止するように実現される。
具体的には空調変更手段は、室温が要求温よりも低い場合には、室温が要求温以上である場合よりも、利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に高めるように実現される。また空調変更手段は、室温が要求温以上である場合には、室温が要求温よりも低い場合よりも、利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に低下させるように実現される。
空調変更手段は、空調を行っている場合に、室温と要求温とに基づき、利用する空調手段の空調能力を調整するように実現される。
一方、ステップS46で否定判定であれば、車両側ECU50Eは、ステップS48で利用する空調手段の空調能力を相対的に低下させる(空調能力DOWN)。具体的には車両側ECU50Eは、ステップS43に続いてステップS46に進んだ場合には、本ステップで発電装置11の空調能力を相対的に低下させることになる。なお、発電装置11の空調能力を相対的に低下させるにあたっては、例えば発電装置11の発熱量を減少させることや、送風ファン32の出力を低下させることができる。
また、空調変更手段は電気ヒータ30の作動を停止する代わりに、例えば電気ヒータ30の利用比率が低下するように利用比率を調整するよう実現されてもよい。この場合には発電装置11の利用比率が高まることで、発電装置11の発熱量が大きくなり、この結果、発電装置11の発熱量を特段変更しない場合と比較して、室温をより素早く要求温に到達させるとともに、バッテリ12の充電をさらに促進できるようになる点で好適である。
切替弁33は通風ダクト31Aのうち、一端側に設けられた2つの分岐部が集合する部分に介在させるようにして設けられている。切替弁33は電気ヒータ30の搭載部Pと車室10a内とを連通する状態と、発電装置11の搭載部Qと車室10a内とを連通する状態との間で、通風ダクト31Aの連通状態を切替可能な切替手段となっている。
切替制御手段は、利用する空調手段に対応させて、通風ダクト31Aの連通状態を切り替えるように切替弁33を制御するよう実現される。
具体的には切替制御手段は、利用する空調手段が電気ヒータ30である場合には、電気ヒータ30の搭載部Pと車室10a内とを連通することで、切替弁33を電気ヒータ30側に切り替えるための制御を行うように実現される。
また切替制御手段は、利用する空調手段が発電装置11である場合には、発電装置11の搭載部Qと車室10a内とを連通することで、切替弁33を発電装置11側に切り替えるための制御を行うように実現される。
このため電気駆動式車両1Fは電気駆動式車両1Aと比較して、発電装置11を搭載していない場合や発電装置11で空調を行っていない場合に、空調性能が低下することを防止できる点で、空調の利用について適切性を確保できる。
電気駆動式車両1Gでは、発電装置11および電気ヒータ30の搭載部P、Qそれぞれを直列に連通するように通風ダクト31Bが設けられている。そして電気駆動式車両1Gでは、送風ファン32が、通風ダクト31Bのうち、車室10aの各部に分岐する前の部分である集合部に設けられている。具体的には通風ダクト31Bは、集合部のうち、発電装置11および電気ヒータ30の搭載部P、Qそれぞれよりも下流側の部分に設けられている。なお、発電装置11および電気ヒータ30の搭載部P、Qの配置は例えば互いに入れ替えられた配置となっていてもよい。
また電気駆動式車両1Gでは、発電装置11を搭載していない場合や発電装置11で発電をしていない場合であっても、電気ヒータ30が空調した空気を何ら支障なく車室10aに送風することができる。このため電気駆動式車両1Gは、例えば電気駆動式車両1Fと比較して切替弁33を不要にできる点で、コスト的に有利な構成とすることもできる。
またこのように通風ダクト31Bを設けた場合であっても、電気駆動式車両1Gは、電気ヒータ30および発電装置11に共通の送風ファン32で空調を行うことができる点で、コスト的に有利な構成とすることができる。
電気駆動式車両1Hでは、発電装置11が車室10a内に設けられている。具体的には電気駆動式車両1Hでは、発電装置11が破線で示すように運転席72の下に設けられている。通風ダクト31Cは、電気ヒータ30の搭載部Pと車室10a内とを連通している。通風ダクト31Dは、発電装置11の搭載部Qから各座席72、73、74に向かって、運転中の発電装置11からの放熱である廃熱を送風できるように設けられた複数の通風ダクトで構成されている。通風ダクト31Dの送風には例えば専用の送風ファンを設けることができるほか、エンジン111がラジエータファンを備える場合には、ラジエータファンを利用することができる。
また電気駆動式車両1Hでは、発電装置11を運転席72の下に設けることで、利用頻度が一番高い運転席72を効果的に暖めることができる。
また電気駆動式車両1Hでは、発電装置11を運転席72の下に設けることで、各座席72、73、74を直接的に空調する通風ダクト31Dを容易に設けることもできる。このため電気駆動式車両1Hは、例えばダッシュボード71に送風口を設けた場合よりも効果的な空調である全座席72、73、74の空調をコスト的に有利に実現することもできる。
発電装置11の他の搭載部である搭載部Rは、車室10a内と通風ダクトを介して直接連通していない搭載部となっている。搭載部Rは、具体的には車両本体10のうち、車室10aと隔離された部分に設けられている。さらに具体的には搭載部Rは車両本体10のうち、車室10a外、且つ車室10aの後方の部分に設けられている。そして電気駆動式車両1Iは、いずれの搭載部Q、Rに対しても発電装置11を脱着可能に搭載できるように構成されている。
また電気駆動式車両1Iでは、搭載部Rを車両本体10のうち、車室10a外、且つ車室10aの後方の部分に設けている。このため電気駆動式車両1Iは、例えば車室10a外、且つ車室10aの前方の部分に搭載部Rを設けた場合と比較して、車両進行方向や車室10aの気密性との関係上、発電装置11を搭載部Rに搭載した場合に車室10a内の温度が上昇することも好適に抑制できる。
通風ダクト31Eは、発電装置11の搭載部Qと大気とを連通するように設けられている。第1の開閉弁34は通風ダクト31Aのうち、発電装置11に対応させて分岐された部分に介在させるようにして設けられている。第2の開閉弁35は通風ダクト31Eに介在させるようにして設けられている。
第1および第2の開閉弁34、35は具体的には例えば電子制御で開閉可能とすることができる。この場合には例えば空調を行っている場合(空調スイッチ23がONである場合)に第1の開閉弁34を開弁するとともに第2の開閉弁35を閉弁し、空調を行っていない場合(空調スイッチ23がOFFである場合)に第1の開閉弁34を閉弁するとともに第2の開閉弁35を開弁するための制御を行う制御手段を車両側ECU50Aでさらに実現することで、第1および第2の開閉弁34、35を開閉させることができる。但しこれに限られず、第1および第2の開閉弁34、35は例えば手動操作で開閉可能に構成されてもよい。
また電気駆動式車両1Jは、発電が必要である一方で空調が不要な場合でも、通風ダクト31Eを介して発電装置11の廃熱で暖められた空気を大気に流出させることで、車室10aの温度が上昇することを好適に抑制できる。
また電気駆動式車両1Jは、電気駆動式車両1Iのように搭載部Rを備える必要がないため、車両本体10のスペースをより有効に活用することもできる。
例えば上述した実施例では、電気ヒータ30および発電装置11が第1および第2の空調手段として、ともに暖房を行う空調手段である場合について説明した。
しかしながら、本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、例えば第1の空調手段がバッテリ電力を利用して作動するコンプレッサを備えたエアコン装置であるとともに、第2の空調手段がバッテリ電力以外のエネルギー(例えばエンジン、或いはエンジン駆動式の発電装置が備えるエンジンの出力)を利用して作動するコンプレッサを備えたエアコン装置であってもよい。
この場合には、空調として冷房を行う場合にも、航続距離の確保を可能としつつ、重量増に起因するエネルギー効率の悪化を抑制可能とし、同時に空調の利用について適切性を確保することができる。
さらにこの場合、第1および第2の空調手段は、利用するエネルギーをバッテリ電力と、バッテリ電力以外のエネルギーとの間で切替可能に構成された共通のコンプレッサを備えるようにしてもよい。この場合には、例えばコンプレッサを車両本体に備えるとともに、コンプレッサ以外の部分(例えばコンプレッサを駆動可能なエンジン本体、或いはエンジン駆動式の発電装置本体)を車両本体に部分的に脱着可能に搭載するように第2の空調手段を構成することで、重量増に起因するエネルギー効率の悪化を抑制可能にすることができる。
しかしながら、本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、燃料を使用した発電を行うとともに発電時の廃熱を利用した空調を行う第2の空調手段は、例えば燃料電池式の発電装置であってもよい。この場合、第2の空調手段は、発電時の廃熱として例えば燃料電池式の発電装置からの放熱を利用した空調を行うことができる。
しかしながら本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、第2の空調手段は、例えば冷却媒体の冷却を行う熱交換器を備えるとともに、発電時の廃熱として熱交換器における冷却媒体の放熱を利用した空調を行う冷却媒体冷却式のエンジンを備えたエンジン駆動式の発電装置であってもよい。この場合には、例えば車両本体に熱交換器を備えるとともに、熱交換器以外の部分(例えば発電装置本体)を部分的に車両本体に脱着可能に搭載するように第2の空調手段を構成することで、重量増に起因するエネルギー効率の悪化を抑制可能することができる。
またこの場合、第2の空調手段は例えばエンジンからの放熱および熱交換器における放熱をともに利用した空調を行ってもよい。
またこれらの内容は、例えば第2の空調手段である燃料電池式の発電装置が冷却媒体冷却式である場合についても同様に適用できる。
しかしながら、本発明においては必ずしもこれに限られず、空調変更手段は、例えば車載用ナビゲーション装置から取得可能な情報に基づき、第1の空調手段と第2の空調手段との間で利用比率を調整してもよい。
この場合には、例えば充電設備を備えた自宅や電気スタンドとの距離に応じて、距離が離れている場合ほど、第1の空調手段の利用比率を低下させることや、設定された目的地までの距離に応じて、距離が離れている場合ほど、第1の空調手段の利用比率を低下させることで、車両の使用状況に応じた適切な空調を行えるようにすることもできる。またこの場合には、例えば利用比率を調整するか否かを選択操作可能な操作手段をさらに備えてもよい。これにより、利用比率の調整が実際にユーザの意思と合致するか否かを確認することもできる。
