- step S3 the control device 30 changes the control signal SP so as to temporarily reduce the rotational speed Np of the water pump 104.
- step S4 if the flow rate FR acquired from the flow rate sensor 114 does not decrease so as to cope with the decrease in rotational speed, the process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, in step S4, when the flow rate FR acquired from the flow sensor 114 decreases to correspond to the decrease in rotation speed, the process proceeds to step S5.
- step S5 it is considered that the operating point in FIG. 2 has moved from point P1 to point P2.
- the failure is estimated to be a piping system abnormality (for example, the piping is clogged with foreign matter and the cross-sectional area is reduced).
- the rotational speed Np of the water pump 104 is temporarily increased to increase the flow rate, and the piping system abnormality (for example, foreign matter is clogged) is restored to the original state. Try that.
- step S6 the control device 30 determines whether or not the flow rate FR has recovered to a normal state. This can be done by checking whether the operating point is point P3 (abnormal) or point P4 (normal) in FIG. Since the rotational speed Np of the water pump 104 and the flow rate FR have a relationship indicated by a curve passing through the points P4 to P5 when normal, it is easy to determine a normal range of the flow rate FR with respect to the rotational speed Np.
- step S6 when the flow rate is restored to the normal flow rate, it is considered that the piping system abnormality has become normal. Therefore, the process merges with the case of “NO” in step S2, and the process proceeds to step S8. move on. On the other hand, if the flow rate does not recover in step S6, the process proceeds to step S7, and the diagnosis of the piping system abnormality is confirmed.

- step S8 the control device 30 determines whether or not the condition that the water temperature TW is normal, the rotational speed Np is low, and the flow rate FR is small is satisfied.
- “Normal” indicates that a numerical value is included between a predetermined upper limit value and a lower limit value, for example. Low and low indicate that the numerical value is smaller than the lower limit value of the normal predetermined range.
- step S8 If the condition of step S8 is satisfied, the process proceeds from step S8 to step S9. If the condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S11.
- step S9 it is determined whether or not the current value abnormality of the water pump 104 or the internal temperature abnormality of the water pump 104 has occurred.
- An abnormality in the current value of the water pump 104 can be detected by providing a current sensor in the power supply line of the water pump 104. Further, the internal temperature of the water pump 104 can be detected by attaching a temperature sensor in or near the water pump 104.
- step S9 If neither the current value abnormality of the water pump 104 nor the internal temperature abnormality of the water pump 104 has occurred in step S9, the process proceeds to step S14. If the current value abnormality of the water pump 104 or the internal temperature abnormality of the water pump 104 has occurred in step S9, the process proceeds to step S10, and the diagnosis of the performance abnormality of the water pump 104 is confirmed. The diagnosis result is notified to the driver on the spot, stored in a nonvolatile memory or the like, and later read out at a repair shop for analysis.
- step S11 the control device 30 determines whether the condition that the water temperature TW is abnormal (high), the rotation speed Np is normal, and the flow rate FR is normal is satisfied.
- “Normal” indicates that a numerical value is included between a predetermined upper limit value and a lower limit value, for example. Further, “high” indicates that the numerical value is larger than the upper limit value of the normal predetermined range.
- step S11 If the condition of step S11 is satisfied, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S12. If the condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, since none of the conditions are met, a failure is not diagnosed and control is returned to the main routine.
- step S12 it is determined whether an operation abnormality of the radiator fan 103 or a heat generation abnormality of the inverter 14 has occurred.

図1を参照して、車両100は、蓄電装置であるバッテリMBと、電圧センサ10と、パワーコントロールユニット(PCU)40と、モータジェネレータMGと、制御装置30とを含む。PCU40は、電圧コンバータ12と、平滑用コンデンサC1,CHと、電圧センサ13と、インバータ14とを含む。車両100は、モータジェネレータMGを駆動するインバータ14に給電を行なう正極母線PL2をさらに含む。
再び図1を参照して、車両100は、PCU40およびモータジェネレータMGを冷却する冷却系として、ラジエータ102と、リザーバータンク106と、ウォータポンプ104とを含む。
ウォータポンプ104は、不凍液などの冷却水を循環させるためのポンプであって、図示される矢印の方向に冷却水を循環させる。ラジエータ102は、PCU40内部の電圧コンバータ12およびインバータ14を冷却した後の冷却水を通水路から受け、その受けた冷却水をラジエータファン103を用いて冷却する。
図2を参照して、冷却系の通水抵抗(kPa)が縦軸に示され、冷却水などの冷媒の流量(L/min)が横軸に示されている。冷却系の通水抵抗と流量とが正常な関係であれば、流量が増減すると点P4と点P5を通る曲線に沿って通水抵抗(kPa)は変化する。しかし、冷却系の通水路などに異物(錆びなど)による詰まりが発生すると、通水抵抗は増加する。この場合、流量が増減すると、点P1,点P2および点P3を通る曲線に沿って通水抵抗(kPa)が変化する。
なお、図2中にはウォータポンプの回転速度と流量と通水抵抗との関係も示されている。回転速度N=N0の時に比べて、回転速度が高い回転速度N=N1の方が通水抵抗が増加し、さらに回転速度が高い回転速度N=N3の方が通水抵抗がさらに増加することが示されている。
図3は、水温とポンプの回転速度と流量とにもとづいて考えられる異常とその検証方法を示した図である。
また、図3の第4行目に示されるように、水温が高温異常であるが、回転速度および流量が正常である場合には、冷却されるインバータやコンバータの発熱が大きいか、ラジエータからの放熱異常であるか、水温センサの異常であると考えられる。この場合に、制御装置30は、ラジエータファンを作動させファンが回転するか否かを確認したり、インバータやコンバータの異常がすでに検出されていないかを確認したりする。図3では、制御装置30が複数のECUを含んでいる場合を示し、この場合には、制御装置30は、ECU間通信によって、ラジエータファンを制御するECUに冷却系の異常判定を行なうECUがファンの回転速度を変える指令を行なったり、インバータやコンバータを直接制御するモータECUから冷却系の異常判定を行なうECUがインバータ異常の情報を得たりする。
ステップS8の条件が成立した場合にはステップS8からステップS9に処理が進み、条件が成立しなかった場合にはステップS11に処理が進む。
