Note that in the period t1-t2, the output of the voltage monitoring unit 23 remains in the L signal state.
- Period t2-t3 In the period t2-t3, the power supply from the power storage device 6 to the load 3 is continued and the driving of the load 3 is continued.

- the output of the voltage monitoring unit 23 is switched from the L signal state to the H signal state when the current state continues for the predetermined first period ⁇ tL or more, that is, when the timing t3 is reached.

- Period t5-t6 As described above, charging from the vibration power generation device 4 to the power storage device 6 is continued even at the timing t5, and the inter-terminal voltage is the upper limit monitoring voltage VH.
- the period is a period from when the inter-terminal voltage reaches the upper limit monitoring voltage VH at timing t5 until the predetermined second period ⁇ tH elapses.
- the predetermined second period ⁇ tH is a threshold for the voltage monitoring unit 23 to detect a state in which the inter-terminal voltage is equal to or higher than the upper limit monitoring voltage VH, and the inter-terminal voltage is equal to or higher than the upper limit monitoring voltage VH.

That is, a lower limit at which the threshold value for starting charging and the threshold value for stopping charging are set different from each other, and the voltage across the terminals of the power storage device 6 becomes a threshold value due to a voltage drop during driving that occurs when the load 3 is driven.

- the voltage difference before and after the load driving is only 0.02 V, and it can be said that it is not easy to accurately detect the voltage difference of 0.02 V in consideration of the error of voltage detection and the influence of noise.
- the drive voltage supplied to the load 3 must always exceed the drive voltage Vmin (see FIGS. 2A and 2B) for guaranteeing the drive.
- the load drive starts for the second time as shown by a one-dot chain line L2 in FIG. 2A.
- a voltage drop at the time of driving that occurs sometimes causes the voltage between the terminals of the electricity storage device 6 to fall below the driving voltage Vmin, and the stable driving of the load 3 may not be maintained.
- the wireless communication module 1 since the wireless communication module 1 according to the present invention has the above-described configuration related to charging, the power consumption of the storage capacitor 6 by driving the load 3, in other words, the storage capacitor 6 needs to be charged. It can be detected based on the voltage state of the voltage between the terminals due to the voltage drop during driving. Therefore, as shown by the solid line L1 in FIG. 2A, it is possible to reliably avoid that the voltage between the terminals of the power storage device 6 falls below the drive voltage Vmin in the process of driving the load 3. In particular, when the driving of the load 3 is continuously repeated, the determination of the charging timing of the power storage device 6 is extremely important in order to realize the driving constantly.
- the difference VH ⁇ VL between the inter-terminal voltage VH when the power storage device 6 is fully charged and the threshold voltage VL that triggers the start of charging is preferably determined so as to satisfy the following expression 1.
- VH ⁇ VL ⁇ Vd ⁇ Vn (Formula 1)

- the voltage monitoring part 23 monitors the voltage state of the electrical storage device 6, the voltage between the terminals will become immediately below the lower limit monitoring voltage VL, or immediately after becoming the upper limit monitoring voltage VH or more.
- a configuration is adopted in which the signal is switched after the elapse of the predetermined first period ⁇ tL or the predetermined second period ⁇ tH without switching the H signal or the L signal indicating the voltage state.
- the predetermined first period ⁇ tL is preferably determined so as to satisfy the following expression 2.
- ⁇ T1 Time from the timing t2 when the voltage between the terminals has interrupted the lower limit monitoring voltage VL due to the voltage drop during driving to the timing t2 ′ when the voltage drop during driving is completed
- ⁇ T2 the voltage during driving due to the stop of driving the load from the above t2 ′

- the outline of the charge control will be described below.
- the amount of power required for one driving is the example shown in FIG. 2A by limiting the number of driving acceleration sensors to one, for example. It should be smaller than
- Period t21-t22 During the period, the first driving of the load 3 is performed. In this period, the voltage between the terminals of the electricity storage device 6 including the driving voltage drop does not become lower than the lower limit monitoring voltage VL.
- Period t22-t23 During the period, the driving of the load 3 is stopped. However, as described above, the inter-terminal voltage does not become lower than the lower limit monitoring voltage VL, so that the vibration power generation device 4 is not charged. Therefore, the inter-terminal voltage in the period is maintained at the voltage in a state where the voltage drop during driving is eliminated without returning to the voltage VH.
- the voltage monitoring unit 23 remains in the L signal state because the inter-terminal voltage does not become lower than the lower limit monitoring voltage VL for the predetermined first time ⁇ tL.
- Period t23-t24 At timing t23, the second driving of the load 3 is started. Therefore, after the timing t23, the voltage between the terminals greatly decreases due to the driving voltage drop, and becomes the lower limit monitoring voltage VL or less at the timing t24.
- Period t24-t25 This period is a period from the timing t24 until the predetermined first period ⁇ tL elapses. During this period, the inter-terminal voltage is below the lower limit monitoring voltage VL. Therefore, when the timing t25 is reached, the output of the voltage monitoring unit 23 is switched from the L signal state to the H signal state, and a trigger to start charging the power storage device 6 is generated.
- Period t25-t26 During this period, charging of the power storage device 6 is continued, and driving of the load 3 is stopped at timing t26.
- Period t27-t28 This period is a period from the timing t27 until the predetermined second period ⁇ tH elapses. In this period, the inter-terminal voltage is initially in the state of the upper limit monitoring voltage VH, and when the timing t28 is reached, the output of the voltage monitoring unit 23 is switched from the H signal state to the L signal state. Thus, a charging end trigger of 6 is generated.
- the charging control of the power storage device 6 may be started based on the driving voltage drop.
- the voltage between the terminals may not fall below the operating voltage Vmin during a plurality of operations. Desired.
- the electric power consumed by the load driving for two times is replenished by one charge control (charge control from the period t25 to t28), so that each time the load drive is performed. There is a possibility that the charging time until the fully charged state is made longer than in the case of performing the charging control.
- the VL is controlled so that the charge control is performed for each operation of the load 3. It can be said that it is preferable to adjust the value of.
- FIG. 4 shows a modification of the wireless communication module 1 according to the present invention.
- the load 3 includes dummy load circuits 34 and 35 in addition to the acceleration sensors 31 and 32 and the wireless communication device 33.
- the dummy load circuits 34 and 35 are not functional load elements that perform acquisition of specific data, wireless communication of the acquired data to the outside, and the like. It is a load element as a power consuming circuit for consuming. It is assumed that the power consumption capacity of the dummy load circuit 34 is smaller than that of the dummy load circuit 35.
- the dummy load circuits 34 and 35 are connected or cut off so that power can be supplied from the power storage device 6 by turning on and off the switches 36 and 37, respectively.
- the charging start timing of the power storage device 6 is reliably controlled. Is possible. For example, when the voltage drop during driving of the load 3 in which only the acceleration sensor 31 is driven as shown in FIG. 3 is small, the voltage between the terminals of the power storage device 6 is lower than the lower limit monitoring voltage VL in the first load driving. Since it does not become below, charge control of the electrical storage device 6 is not started.
- this modification by supplying power to the dummy load circuit 34 along with driving of the acceleration sensor 31, the power required for driving the entire load 3 can be increased and the voltage drop during driving can be increased. It becomes possible. As a result, even when a small load element is driven, it is possible to charge the power storage device 6 at an appropriate timing for each driving.
- Such power supply to the dummy load circuit 34 corresponds to the forced operation of the load according to the present invention.
- only the dummy load circuit 35 may be driven to ensure that the power storage device 6 is fully charged before driving the load 3.
- power is supplied to the dummy load circuit 35 immediately before the driving.
- the dummy load circuit 35 is a load element that causes a voltage drop during driving sufficient to generate a trigger for starting charging control of the power storage device 6 from its power consumption capability.
- the driving voltage Vmin is 2.0 V
- load elements constituting the load 3 are shown below.
- two types of wireless communication devices are shown in Table 1, and six types of sensors including acceleration sensors are shown in Table 2.
- the sum of the voltage drop during driving caused by each load element appears as a voltage drop amount of the entire load 3 to generate a trigger for starting the charge control of the storage sensor 6. Therefore, the upper limit monitoring voltage VH and the lower limit monitoring voltage VL in the control device 2 may be set in consideration of the types and number of wireless communication devices and sensors used.
- load element is one example, and various other load elements can be incorporated in the module according to the present invention.
- the predetermined upper limit voltage and the predetermined lower limit voltage Difference between the terminals of the power storage unit at the predetermined upper limit voltage is less than or equal to the predetermined lower limit voltage due to a voltage drop in the power storage unit that occurs when the load performs the predetermined operation.
- the amount of stored electricity can be made suitable for load driving at an appropriate timing without putting the power storage unit in an overcharged state, and charging is performed for each predetermined load operation.
- the charging time required for charging can be shortened as much as possible, and the next load operation after charging can be executed promptly.
- Such a configuration is particularly useful when the load repeatedly performs a predetermined operation.
- the voltage drop in the power storage unit is eliminated by stopping the load that the charge control unit is driving. After the voltage between the terminals recovers, the power supply from the power source may be controlled so that at least the difference between the voltage between the terminals at that time and the predetermined upper limit voltage is charged. In other words, when the load drive is stopped, the drive current stops flowing and the voltage drop that triggered the charging disappears, and as a result, the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit rises and recovers. By charging until the voltage between the terminals after the increase becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined upper limit voltage, an appropriate amount of charging can be expected.
- the charging by the charging control unit may be performed after the load driving is stopped, and the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined lower limit voltage based on the voltage increase due to the elimination of the voltage drop.
- the charging may be started as quickly as possible, preferably before the load driving stops.
- the voltage monitoring unit is in a state where the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined lower limit voltage due to a voltage drop in the power storage unit when the load is driven.
- the power storage unit needs to be charged when it continues for a predetermined time or more.
- the load when the load performs a predetermined operation in the charge control device, a predetermined forced operation other than the predetermined operation is performed, and more current is consumed by the load than in the predetermined operation. You may make it further provide a forced drive part.
- the forcible driving unit causes the load to perform the predetermined forcible operation, if the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined lower limit voltage due to a voltage drop in the power storage unit, the charge control unit The power storage unit may be charged from the power source, and the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit may be equal to or higher than the predetermined upper limit voltage.
- a trigger for charging the power storage unit is obtained by causing a voltage drop in the power storage unit by a forced operation that is an operation other than the predetermined operation.
- the current value consumed by the predetermined operation by the load is small, the amount of voltage drop due to the resistance component in the power storage unit and the load current at the time of driving the load is small, so the power storage unit should be charged. It becomes difficult to determine the timing to do appropriately. Therefore, in such a case, by using the voltage drop in the power storage unit by the forced drive unit, it is possible to cause a larger voltage drop, and thus a useful configuration from the viewpoint of charging at an appropriate timing It can be said.
- the charging timing is determined by appropriately mixing the predetermined operation and the forcing operation, so that there is no leakage. Appropriate charging can be realized.
- the present invention can also be understood from the side of a drive load module that includes the above-described charge control device and is configured with a driven load. That is, the present invention is a drive load module, and includes at least the charge control device described above, a power source that supplies power to the power storage unit, and a load that is supplied with drive power from the power storage unit. It may be configured. Thereby, it can be unified as a drive load module together with a power storage unit, a power source, and a load capable of continuously executing load-driven power supply.
- the driving load module is arranged such that one or more sensors for detecting a predetermined environmental parameter around the driving load module and the detection values of the one or more sensors are separated from the driving load module.
- a wireless transmission unit that wirelessly transmits to a predetermined reception unit. That is, by including the sensor and the wireless transmission unit of the detected value in the driving load module according to the present invention, the continuous power supply and sensor can be performed within the module without continuous power supply from the outside. Detection and transmission of detected values to the outside can be performed comprehensively, and the convenience of the module can be improved. Further, by integrating one or a plurality of sensors and the wireless communication unit as a load according to the present invention, the amount of voltage drop in the power storage unit that occurs during load driving can be increased. Even when the power is small, it is possible to more reliably detect a voltage drop in the power storage unit.
- the power source is a power source using predetermined environmental energy, and may include a vibration power generation device that converts external vibration energy into power or a solar power generation device that performs solar power generation. .
- a vibration power generation device that converts external vibration energy into power

Abstract
Description
タイミングt1より以前においては、負荷3は駆動されておらず、蓄電デバイス6は満充電状態にあり、故にその端子間電圧は上限監視電圧VHと同じ最大電圧値を示している。なお、このとき電圧監視部23の出力はL信号状態である。ここで、タイミングt1では蓄電デバイス6から負荷3に電力供給(放電)が開始され、負荷3を構成する加速度センサ31、32、無線通信デバイス33を駆動するのに必要な駆動電流が蓄電デバイス6から流れ始める。蓄電デバイス6は幾ばくかの内部抵抗を有することから、この駆動開始時の電流の急峻な立ち上がりとの相関によって蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧が急激に電圧降下する。本明細書においては、負荷3を駆動開始した際に流れ始める駆動電流によって引き起こされる蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧の電圧降下を、「駆動時電圧降下」と称することとする。なお、この駆動時電圧降下は、タイミングt1から後述するタイミングt2’までの間、生じており、その途中のタイミングt2においては当該端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VLを割り込む。なお、期間t1-t2では、電圧監視部23の出力はL信号状態のままである。
期間t2-t3では、蓄電デバイス6から負荷3への電力供給が引き続き行われ当該負荷3の駆動が継続されている。そのため、途中のタイミングt2’で駆動時電圧降下が完了し、すなわち負荷駆動開始時の急峻な駆動電流の立ち上がり自体は完了した後も、蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧は駆動時電圧降下に比べては緩やかとなるが時間の経過とともに低下していく。そして、当該期間は、上記の通りタイミングt2で端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VLを割り込んでから所定第一期間ΔtLが経過するまでの期間である。この所定第一期間ΔtLは、電圧監視部23が、当該端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VL以下となっている状態を検知するための閾値であり、当該端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VL以下となっている状態が所定第一期間ΔtL以上続いたときに、すなわちタイミングt3に到達した時点で、電圧監視部23の出力が、L信号状態からH信号状態に切り替わる。
タイミングt3以降では、蓄電デバイス6から負荷3への電力供給が引き続き行われ当該負荷3の駆動が継続され、そしてタイミングt4に到達した時点で、当該負荷3の駆動が停止される。そのため、蓄電デバイス6からの放電はタイミングt4で終了し、以てその端子間電圧の降下もタイミングt4で終了することとなる。一方で、上記期間t2-t3において、電圧監視部23の出力が、L信号状態からH信号状態に切り替わったことをもって、タイミングt3以降では振動発電デバイス4から蓄電デバイス6への充電が開始される。そのため、蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧の降下程度もある程度緩和されている。すなわち、負荷3の駆動により生じた蓄電デバイス6での駆動時電圧降下が下限監視電圧VLを所定期間ΔtL下回ったことをトリガーとして、タイミングt3において蓄電デバイス6への充電が開始されることになる。なお、この蓄電デバイス6への充電は、電圧監視部23の出力がH信号状態で有り続ける間、継続されることになる。
上記のとおりタイミングt4の時点で、負荷3の駆動が停止されることから、その駆動に要する駆動電流の蓄電デバイス6から負荷3側への流れが停止されることになる。そのため、期間t1-t2’で生じていた駆動時電圧降下分の電圧上昇がタイミングt4以降で生じる。この電圧上昇の過程において、途中のタイミングt4’で端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VLを通過するが、電圧監視部23の出力には変化はない。なお、期間t1-t4で負荷3を駆動していたため蓄電デバイス6の蓄電電力が消費され、その結果、上記電圧上昇が生じたとしても蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧は上限監視電圧VHにまでは到達しない。そこで、タイミングt3以降継続されている振動発電デバイス4からの充電により、その端子間電圧の上昇が図られる。この結果、タイミングt5の時点で、当該端子間電圧が上限監視電圧VHに到達するが、その時点でも電圧監視部23の出力はH信号状態のままである。
上記の通りタイミングt5の時点でも振動発電デバイス4から蓄電デバイス6への充電は継続されており、その端子間電圧は上限監視電圧VHである。そして、当該期間は、タイミングt5で端子間電圧が上限監視電圧VHに到達してから所定第二期間ΔtHが経過するまでの期間である。この所定第二期間ΔtHは、電圧監視部23が、当該端子間電圧が上限監視電圧VH以上となっている状態を検知するための閾値であり、当該端子間電圧が上限監視電圧VH以上となっている状態が所定第二期間ΔtH以上続いたときに、すなわちタイミングt6に到達した時点で、電圧監視部23の出力が、H信号状態からL信号状態に切り替わる。この電圧監視部23の出力の変更をトリガーとして、振動発電デバイス4から蓄電デバイス6への充電が終了される。
期間t6-t7は、無線通信モジュール1において、次の負荷動作が始まるまでの待機期間である。したがって、当該期間では蓄電デバイス6の蓄電電力は消費されないため、満充電状態に維持される。なお、次の負荷動作は、予め設定された時間の経過後に開始されてもよく、また、モジュール外部からの指示に従って、もしくはモジュール側の判断に基づいて開始するようにしてもよい。ここで、期間t7-t12については、次の負荷動作に対応したものである。タイミングt7-t12のそれぞれは、上述したタイミングt1-t6に対応するものであり、そのため各タイミングに関する詳細な説明は割愛する。
VH-VL<Vd-ΔVn ・・・(式1)
Vd:駆動時電圧降下
ΔVn:ノイズ等による電圧変動を吸収するマージン項
このような差分VH-VLの設定を行うことで、負荷3が一連の動作(上述した加速度センサ31、32、無線通信デバイス33の駆動動作)を行う毎に、図2Aに示すように蓄電デバイス6の充電開始のトリガーが発生することになり、新たな負荷動作が開始される時点には蓄電デバイス6は満充電状態にされているため、無線通信モジュール1の安定的な連続動作を確保することが可能となる。
ΔtL<ΔT1+ΔT2・・・(式2)
ΔT1:駆動時電圧降下により端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VLを割り込んだタイミングt2から、駆動時電圧降下が完了したタイミングt2’までの時間
ΔT2:上記t2’から、負荷の駆動停止により駆動時電圧降下が解消することで端子間電圧が急上昇し下限監視電圧VLを超えたタイミングt4’までの時間
このように所定第一期間ΔtLを設定することで、上記のようにノイズ等の外乱の影響を排除しながら安定的な負荷3の駆動を確保することができる。また、所定第二期間ΔtHの最大値については、負荷3の連続動作が妨げられない程度に、すなわち図2Aで示す期間t5-t7がいたずらに長くならない程度に設定するのが好ましい。以上を踏まえ、例えば、所定第一期間ΔtL、所定第二期間ΔtHは、それぞれ約30μ秒に設定することができる。
図3に本発明に係る無線通信モジュール1に含まれる制御装置2による蓄電デバイス6の充電制御の変形例を示す。図3に示す例では、図2Aに示す例と異なり、負荷3が複数の動作(本例では2回の動作)を行った後に蓄電デバイス6の充電制御が行われる。以下、その充電制御の概略を説明する。なお、本変形例で行われる負荷3の駆動については、その一回当たりの駆動に要する電力量は、例えば駆動する加速度センサの台数を1台に制限する等して、図2Aに示した例と比べて小さいものとする。
当該期間では、負荷3の一回目の駆動が行われる。この期間では、駆動時電圧降下を含めて、蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧は下限監視電圧VL以下とはならない。
(2)期間t22-t23
当該期間では負荷3の駆動が停止されるが、上記のとおり端子間電圧が下限監視電圧VL以下とはならないことから、振動発電デバイス4からの充電も行われない。したがって、当該期間での端子間電圧は、電圧VHに戻らずに駆動時電圧降下が解消した状態での電圧で維持される。
タイミングt23において、二回目の負荷3の駆動が開始される。そのため、タイミングt23以降で、端子間電圧が駆動時電圧降下によって大きく低下し、タイミングt24の時点で下限監視電圧VL以下となる。
当該期間は、タイミングt24以降、所定第一期間ΔtLが経過するまでの期間である。当該期間において、端子間電圧は下限監視電圧VLを下回った状態にある。したがって、タイミングt25に到達した時点で、電圧監視部23の出力が、L信号状態からH信号状態に切り替えられ、蓄電デバイス6の充電開始のトリガーが生成されることになる。
当該期間では蓄電デバイス6の充電が継続されるとともに、タイミングt26の時点で負荷3の駆動が停止される。
上記のとおり、タイミングt26で負荷3の駆動が停止されることから、当該期間では駆動時電圧降下が解消される。そのため、端子間電圧が急激に上昇し、更に蓄電デバイス6への充電が継続される。そして、タイミングt27の時点で端子間電圧が上限監視電圧VHに到達する。
当該期間は、タイミングt27以降、所定第二期間ΔtHが経過するまでの期間である。当該期間において、初めは端子間電圧は上限監視電圧VHとなった状態にあり、タイミングt28に到達した時点で、電圧監視部23の出力が、H信号状態からL信号状態に切り替えられ、蓄電デバイス6の充電終了のトリガーが生成されることになる。
図4に本発明に係る無線通信モジュール1の変形例を示す。図4に示す例では、図1に示す例と異なり、負荷3に、加速度センサ31、32および無線通信デバイス33の他に、ダミー負荷回路34、35が含まれる構成となっている。このダミー負荷回路34、35は、加速度センサ31等と異なり、特定のデータの取得や取得データの外部への無線通信等を行う機能的な負荷要素ではなく、蓄電デバイス6から供給される電力を消費するための電力消費回路として負荷要素である。消費電力能力は、ダミー負荷回路34の方がダミー負荷回路35よりも小さいものとする。そして、ダミー負荷回路34、35は、それぞれスイッチ36、37のON、OFFによって、蓄電デバイス6からの電力供給が可能となるように接続、又は遮断される。
本発明に係る制御装置2および無線通信モジュール1の実施例を以下に示す。
下限監視電圧VL:3.4V
蓄電デバイス6の内部抵抗:50Ω
このとき、負荷3の駆動時電流を10mAとなるように負荷3内の負荷要素(加速度センサ等)を選定する。そうすると、駆動時電圧降下は0.5Vとなり、電圧降下後の蓄電デバイス6の端子間電圧が3.07Vとなるため、外乱による端子間電圧の変動を考慮しても安定的な負荷3の駆動が期待できる。
