Einrichtung und Verfahren zum Schutz eines zum Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen dienenden Ladekabels Device and method for protecting a charging cable for charging electric vehicles
Die Erfindung betrifft ein zum Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen dienendes Ladekabel, das mindestens einen Phasenleiter und eine erste Steuerleitung aufweist, deren Spannungspegel ein Maß für die Stromtragfähigkeit des mindestens einen Phasen- leiters ist. The invention relates to a loading cable for charging electric vehicles, which has at least one phase conductor and a first control line whose voltage level is a measure of the current carrying capacity of the at least one phase conductor.
Derartige Ladekabel sind aus der Norm IEC61851 bekannt, in der die Fahrzeugschnittstelle für das Laden von Elektrofahr- zeugen beschrieben ist. Bei diesem Ladesystem ist problema- tisch, dass mehrere maximale Stromstärken für ein Stecksystem definiert sind. Demzufolge muss in der Stromeinspeisung ein der unterschiedlichen Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels ange- passter Leitungsschutz realisiert werden. Normgemäß sind für die Ladekabel Stromstärken von 13A, 20A, 32A und 63A defi- niert. Ist der Leitungsschutz in der Stromeinspeisung für eine Stromstärke ausgelegt, die höher ist als die Stromtragfä¬ higkeit des dahinterliegenden Ladekabels, kann es zu einer thermischen Überlastung kommen, die zum Schmelzen oder zum Brand von Teilen des Ladekabels führen kann. Nach IEC61851 ist das Ladekabel neben den Lastleitungen auch noch mit zwei Steuerleitungen Pilot und PlugPresent ausgestattet. Über Pi¬ lot wird von der Ladesäule ein maximaler Ladestrom vorgegeben und vom Fahrzeug der Ladezustand zurückgeliefert. Über den Spannungspegel der Steuerleitung PlugPresent erkennt die La- desäule die Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels. Der Spannungs¬ pegel wird hierzu an einem Spannungsteiler abgegriffen, der neben einem Festwiderstand in der Ladesäule normgemäß einen fixen Widerstand im Ladekabel mit einem Widerstandswert von 1.500, 680, 220 oder 100 Ohm aufweist je nach dem, ob die Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels 13, 20, 32 oder 63A be¬ trägt . Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Schutz eines zum Laden von Elektrofahr- zeugen dienenden Ladekabels der oben genannten Art anzugeben, die bzw. das auf einfache Weise einen thermischen Schutz des Ladekabels gegen Schäden durch Stromüberlastung in Verbindung mit der Umgebungstemperatur ermöglicht. Such charging cables are known from the standard IEC61851, which describes the vehicle interface for charging electric vehicles. It is problematic with this charging system that several maximum current intensities are defined for a plug-in system. Consequently, in the power supply one of the different current carrying capacity of the charging cable adapted line protection must be realized. Normally, the charging cables have currents of 13A, 20A, 32A and 63A. If the line protection in the power supply designed for a current intensity which is higher than the Stromtragfä ¬ capability of the underlying charging cable, it can lead to a thermal overload, which may result in melting or burning of parts of the charging cable. According to IEC61851, the charging cable is also equipped with two Pilot and PlugPresent control cables in addition to the load cables. About Pi ¬ lot is specified by the charging station, a maximum charging current and the vehicle returns the state of charge. The charging station detects the current carrying capacity of the charging cable via the voltage level of the PlugPresent control cable. The voltage ¬ level is this tapped at a voltage divider having in addition a fixed resistor in the charging station according to the standard of a fixed resistor in the charging cable having a resistance of 1,500, 680, 220 or 100 ohms depending on whether the current carrying capacity of the charging cable 13, 20, 32 or 63A be ¬ contributes. The object of the invention is to provide a device and a method for protecting a charging cable of the type mentioned above for charging electric vehicles, which simply or simply provides thermal protection of the charging cable against damage due to current overload in connection with the ambient temperature allows.
Die Aufgabe wird zum einen durch eine Einrichtung mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dabei ist der Spannungspe- gel an einem ohmschen Spannungsteiler abgegriffen, der einen außerhalb des Ladekabels liegenden ersten Festwiderstand mit konstantem Widerstandswert und ein Widerstandsnetzwerk im Ladekabel aufweist, dessen Widerstandswert temperaturabhängig veränderbar ist. Die Höhe des Ladestroms ist abhängig von der durch Spannungsabgriff gemessenen Stromtragfähigkeit veränderbar . The object is achieved on the one hand by a device having the features of claim 1. In this case, the voltage level is tapped off on an ohmic voltage divider which has a first fixed resistor with a constant resistance value located outside the charging cable and a resistance network in the charging cable whose resistance value can be changed as a function of the temperature. The amount of the charging current is variable depending on the current carrying capacity measured by voltage tap.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht, wenn das Widerstandsnetzwerk gemäß Anspruch 2 einen zweiten Fest- widerstand mit einem der Stromtragfähigkeit standardmäßig entsprechenden Widerstandswert und einen dazu in Reihe ge¬ schalteten thermischen Widerstand aufweist. An advantageous development of the invention is when the resistance network according to claim 2, a second fixed resistor having a current carrying capacity by default corresponding resistance and to a series ge ¬ switched thermal resistance.
Als thermischer Widerstand eignet sich besonders ein thermi- scher Kaltleiter, dessen Kennlinie den in der Norm IEC61851 vorgegebenen Widerstandswerten und Stromtragfähigkeiten entsprechend der Temperatur im Ladekabel erfasst. A thermal PTC thermistor is particularly suitable as a thermal resistor, the characteristic of which measures the resistance values and current carrying capacities specified in the IEC61851 standard in accordance with the temperature in the charging cable.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es außerdem, wenn das Widerstands- netzwerk gemäß Anspruch 3 mehrere weitere Festwiderstände aufweist, die temperaturabhängig in Reihe und/oder parallel derart verschaltbar sind, dass der Spannungspegel zur Abbil¬ dung der temperaturabhängigen Stromtragfähigkeit entsprechend gestuft anpassbar ist. It is also particularly advantageous if the resistance network according to claim 3 has a plurality of further fixed resistors, the temperature-dependent in series and / or parallel are connected in such a way that the voltage level for Abbil ¬ tion of the temperature-dependent current carrying capacity is appropriately stepped stepped.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Aus führungs form besteht, wenn die Einrichtung gemäß Anspruch 5 derart ausgeführt ist, dass sie bei Überschreiten eines ersten Schwellwerts für den Span- nungspegel den Ladestrom abschaltet. Besonders hohe Umge¬ bungstemperaturen können eine sofortige Abschaltung des Ladestroms zum Schutz des Ladekabels erfordern, wenn z.B. trotz vorheriger Reduzierung des Ladestroms die Temperatur des Ladekabels ansteigt. A further advantageous embodiment is when the device according to claim 5 is designed in such a way that, when a first threshold value for the clamping voltage is exceeded, voltage level shuts off the charging current. Conversely particularly high to ambient temperatures ¬ require an immediate shutdown of the charging current to protect the charging cable if eg despite previous reduction of the charging current increases the temperature of the charging cable.
Sinkt aber die Temperatur des Ladekabels nach einer Abschal¬ tung des Ladestroms, kann das Ladekabel wieder mit Strom be¬ lastet werden. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Einrichtung gemäß Anspruch 6 derart ausgeführt ist, dass sie bei Unterschreiten eines zweiten, unter dem ersten liegenden Schwellwerts für den Spannungspegel den Ladestrom automatisch wiedereinschaltet . But drops the temperature of the charging cable after a Abschal ¬ tion of the charging current, the charging cable can be charged with electricity be ¬ again. In this case, it is advantageous if the device according to claim 6 is designed such that it automatically restarts the charging current when it falls below a second, below the first threshold for the voltage level.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Ladekabel eine zweite Steuerleitung aufweist, über die die Ladesäule dem Fahrzeug die Höhe des Ladestroms signalisiert, und wenn in der Lade¬ säule Mittel vorgesehen sind, die die über das Signal vorge¬ gebene Höhe des Ladestroms an die jeweilige durch Spannungs¬ abgriff gemessene Stromtragfähigkeit anpassen. Auf einfache Weise kann somit das Ladekabel mit einem temperaturgesteuerten Ladestrom ohne thermische Schädigung belastet werden. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the charging cable having a second control line via which the charging station the vehicle indicates the height of the charging current, and when provided in the charging ¬ column means that the pre via the signal ¬ added amount of the charging current to the respective by voltage ¬ thumbed adjust measured current-carrying capacity. In a simple way, thus, the charging cable can be charged with a temperature-controlled charging current without thermal damage.
Die weitere, oben genannte Aufgabe wird zum anderen durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 10 gelöst. The further object mentioned above is achieved, on the other hand, by a method having the features of claim 10.
Dabei wird der Spannungspegel an einem ohmschen Spannungstei¬ ler abgegriffen, der einen außerhalb des Ladekabels liegenden ersten Festwiderstand mit konstantem Widerstandswert und ein Widerstandsnetzwerk im Ladekabel aufweist, dessen Widerstandswert temperaturabhängig veränderbar ist. Die Höhe des Ladestroms wird abhängig von der durch Spannungsabgriff gemessenen Stromtragfähigkeit verändert. In this case, the voltage level at an ohmic Spannungstei ¬ ler is tapped, which has an out of the charging cable first fixed resistor having a constant resistance value and a resistance network in the charging cable, the resistance of which is temperature dependent variable. The amount of charging current is changed depending on the current carrying capacity measured by voltage tap.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Verfahrens sind den Unteran¬ sprüchen 11 und 12 zu entnehmen. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Advantageous developments of the method are given in the Unteran ¬ a reflection 11 and 12. FIG. An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing. Show it:

In FIG 1 ist ein Spannungsteiler 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung zum Schutz eines zum Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen dienenden Ladekabels dargestellt. 1 shows a voltage divider 1 of the device according to the invention for protecting a charging cable for charging electric vehicles.
Derartige Ladekabel sind aus der Norm IEC61851 bekannt, in der die Fahrzeugschnittstelle für das Laden von Elektrofahr- zeugen beschrieben ist. Bei diesem Ladesystem ist problematisch, dass mehrere maximale Stromstärken für ein Stecksystem definiert sind. Demzufolge muss in der Stromeinspeisung ein der unterschiedlichen Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels ange- passter Leitungsschutz realisiert werden. Normgemäß sind für die Ladekabel Stromstärken von 13A, 20A, 32A und 63A definiert. Ist der Leitungsschutz in der Stromeinspeisung für eine Stromstärke ausgelegt, die höher ist als die Stromtragfä¬ higkeit des dahinterliegenden Ladekabels, kann es zu einer thermischen Überlastung kommen, die zum Schmelzen oder zum Brand von Teilen des Ladekabels führen kann. Nach der Norm IEC61851 ist das Ladekabel neben den Lastleitungen auch noch mit einer ersten Steuerleitung PlugPresent und einer zweiten Steuerleitung Pilot ausgestattet. Über die zweite Steuerlei¬ tung Pilot wird von der Ladesäule ein maximaler Ladestrom vorgegeben und vom Fahrzeug der Ladezustand zurückgeliefert. Über den Spannungspegel der ersten Steuerleitung PlugPresent erkennt die Ladesäule die Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels. Der Spannungspegel Us wird hierzu an einem Spannungsteiler 1 abgegriffen, der neben einem ersten Festwiderstand 2 in der Ladesäule normgemäß einen zweiten Festwiderstand 3 im Ladeka¬ bel aufweist. Dabei gelten für die Widerstandswerte des zwei- ten Festwiderstands 3 und die Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladeka¬ bels folgende Zuordnungen: Such charging cables are known from the standard IEC61851, which describes the vehicle interface for charging electric vehicles. In this charging system is problematic that several maximum currents are defined for a plug-in system. Consequently, in the power supply one of the different current carrying capacity of the charging cable adapted line protection must be realized. Normally, the charging cables have currents of 13A, 20A, 32A and 63A. If the line protection in the power supply designed for a current intensity which is higher than the Stromtragfä ¬ capability of the underlying charging cable, it can lead to a thermal overload, which may result in melting or burning of parts of the charging cable. According to the standard IEC61851, the charging cable is also equipped with a first control cable PlugPresent and a second pilot control cable in addition to the load cables. About the second Steuerlei ¬ tion pilot is set by the charging station, a maximum charging current and the vehicle returns the state of charge. The charging station detects the current carrying capacity of the charging cable via the voltage level of the first control cable PlugPresent. The voltage level V s is this tapped at a voltage divider 1 comprising in addition to a first fixed resistor 2 in the charging station according to the standard a second fixed resistor 3 in Ladeka ¬ bel. In this case, the resistance values of the Fixed resistance 3 and the current carrying capacity of the Ladeka ¬ lever following assignments:
13A 1.500 Ohm 13A 1,500 ohms
20A 680 Ohm  20A 680 ohms
32A 220 Ohm  32A 220 ohms
64A 100 Ohm.  64A 100 ohms.
Aus dem Teilerverhältnis kann die so codierte Stromtragfähig keit ausgelesen werden. From the divider ratio, the so coded Stromtragfähig speed can be read.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zu dem zweiten Festwiderstand 3 ein Wi¬ derstand 4 mit thermisch veränderlichem Wert in Reihe geschaltet, der mit steigender Temperatur seinen Widerstands- wert entsprechend der Logik der oben angegebenen Kodierung erhöht. Die Ladesäule wertet den Spannungspegel aus und weist Mittel auf, um den Ladestrom für das Fahrzeug entsprechend der gemessenen temperaturabhängigen Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels vorzugeben. Dies erfolgt über die als Pilot be- zeichnete zweite Steuerleitung, die ein in der Ladesäule er¬ zeugtes PWM ( Pulsweitenmodulation) -Signal mit der Sollvorgabe für den Ladestrom an das Fahrzeug überträgt. According to the invention 4 is switched with thermally variable value in series with the second fixed resistor 3, a Wi ¬ resistor, which increases with increasing temperature its resistance value according to the logic of the above coding. The charging station evaluates the voltage level and has means to set the charge current for the vehicle according to the measured temperature-dependent current carrying capacity of the charging cable. This is done by loading a pilot recorded second control line, which transmits a charge in the column it ¬ zeugtes PWM (pulse width modulation) signal with the nominal specification for the charging current to the vehicle.
FIG 2 zeigt einen Spannungsteiler 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung ähnlich dem nach FIG 1, wobei aber neben dem Festwiderstand 2 in der Ladesäule ein Widerstandsnetzwerk mit mehreren Festwiderständen 5 im Ladekabel vorgesehen ist. Die Festwiderstände 5 sind hier parallel verschaltet und weisen jeweils einen der normgemäß definierten Widerstandswerte, d.h. 680, 220 bzw. 100 Ohm auf. Abhängig von der im Ladekabel gemessenen Temperatur kann der für den Spannungsteiler wirksame Widerstandswert durch Umschaltung von einem Festwiderstand 5 auf einen anderen verändert werden, um auf diese Wei¬ se den Spannungspegel Us auf der ersten Steuerleitung und da¬ mit die vorgegebene Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels stufen¬ weise an Temperaturänderungen anzupassen. Dabei kann die Umschaltung temperaturabhängig von einem Mikrocontroller erfolgen, der entsprechende Schalter im Widerstandsnetzwerk zur Ein- und Ausschaltung ansteuert. Alternativ wäre auch eine einfache Lösung mit ein oder mehreren thermischen Schaltern, z.B. Bimetallschaltern denkbar. 2 shows a voltage divider 1 of the device according to the invention similar to that of FIG 1, but in addition to the fixed resistor 2 in the charging station, a resistor network is provided with several fixed resistors 5 in the charging cable. The fixed resistors 5 are connected in parallel here and each have one of the resistance values defined in accordance with standards, ie 680, 220 or 100 ohms. Depending on the measured in the charging cable temperature effective for the voltage divider resistance value by switching from a fixed resistor 5 can be changed to another, in order in this Wei ¬ se the voltage level V s at the first control line, and since ¬ with the predetermined current carrying capacity of the charging cable in stages ¬ to adapt to temperature changes. The switching can be done depending on the temperature of a microcontroller, the corresponding switch in the resistor network for Switching on and off controls. Alternatively, a simple solution with one or more thermal switches, such as bimetallic switches would be conceivable.
In der Ladesäule wird die temperaturabhängige Stromtragfähig¬ keit des Ladekabels aufgrund des Spannungspegels Us auf der ersten Steuerleitung ermittelt. Entsprechend dem Ausführungs¬ beispiel nach FIG 1 kann wiederum das in der Ladesäule er¬ zeugte und über die zweite Steuerleitung übertragene PWM- Signal, mit dem der maximale Ladestrom vorgegeben wird, an Veränderungen der Stromtragfähigkeit des Ladekabels angepasst werden . In the charging station, the temperature-dependent current carrying capacity ¬ ness of the charging cable due to the voltage level U s is determined on the first control line. According to the execution ¬ example of Figure 1, in turn, can he testified ¬ in the charging station and transmitted via the second control line by which the maximum charging current is preset PWM signal to be adapted to changes in the current-carrying capacity of the charging cable.
