Description

電動車両、電動車両制御装置および電動車両制御方法Electric vehicle, electric vehicle control device, and electric vehicle control method
 本発明は、電動車両、電動車両制御装置および電動車両制御方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an electric vehicle, an electric vehicle control device, and an electric vehicle control method.
 モータを動力とした電動二輪車は、モータを駆動する電力を供給するリチウムバッテリなどのバッテリを搭載している。バッテリを電源に接続することで、電源から供給される電力によってバッテリを充電することができる(例えば、特開2011‐063066号公報参照)。 An electric two-wheeled vehicle powered by a motor is equipped with a battery such as a lithium battery for supplying electric power for driving the motor. By connecting the battery to the power supply, the battery can be charged with the power supplied from the power supply (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-063066).
 また、電動二輪車は、例えば、モータの回転速度が減速した時や、慣性による走行時、下り坂の走行時などのバッテリの電力をモータに供給していない時に、モータをジェネレータとして機能させることで、車輪の回転にともなってモータに発生した電力によってバッテリを充電(すなわち、回生充電)することができる。 In addition, in the electric motorcycle, for example, when the motor power is not supplied to the motor when the rotational speed of the motor decelerates, when traveling by inertia, when traveling downhill, etc., the motor functions as a generator. The battery can be charged (i.e., regeneratively charged) by the power generated in the motor as the wheels rotate.
 ところで、クラッチを有しない電動二輪車は、走行していない時においても、車輪からモータが切り離されない。このため、例えば、スタンドを立てた状態で車輪を手で回転させると、車輪の回転にともなってモータがジェネレータとして機能して発電する場合がある。 By the way, in the electric two-wheeled vehicle having no clutch, the motor is not disconnected from the wheels even when not traveling. For this reason, for example, when the wheel is rotated by hand while the stand is standing, the motor may function as a generator and generate power as the wheel rotates.
 このように、モータが発電する状況下において電源から供給される電力でバッテリを充電すると、電源とモータとの双方からバッテリに過剰な電力が供給される虞がある。このため、従来は、バッテリの充電を適切に行うことができない虞があった。 As described above, when the battery is charged with the power supplied from the power source under the condition where the motor generates power, there is a possibility that both the power source and the motor may supply excess power to the battery. Therefore, conventionally, there has been a possibility that the battery can not be properly charged.
 そこで、本発明は、電源とモータとの双方からバッテリに過剰な電力が供給されることを未然に回避して、バッテリの充電を適切に行うことが可能な電動車両、電動車両制御装置および電動車両制御方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, according to the present invention, an electric vehicle, an electric vehicle control device, and an electric vehicle capable of appropriately charging the battery while preventing excessive power from being supplied to the battery from both the power source and the motor. It aims at providing a vehicle control method.

As shown in FIG. 2, the power conversion unit 30 is configured of a three-phase full bridge circuit. The semiconductor switches Q1, Q3 and Q5 are high side switches, and the semiconductor switches Q2, Q4 and Q6 are low side switches. Control terminals of the semiconductor switches Q1 to Q6 are electrically connected to the control unit 10. A smoothing capacitor C is provided between the power supply terminal 30a and the power supply terminal 30b. The semiconductor switches Q1 to Q6 are, for example, MOSFETs or IGBTs.

Specifically, the battery 2 supplies DC power to the power conversion unit 30 at the time of discharge. Further, the battery 2 is charged by the DC power obtained by converting the AC power supplied from the power supply 13 by the charger 9 at the time of charging by the AC power supplied from the external power supply 13 such as a commercial power supply. Further, the battery 2 is charged by the DC voltage obtained by converting the AC power output by the motor generator 3 by the power conversion device 100 during charging by AC power output by the motor generator 3 as the wheels 8 rotate.
 このバッテリ2は、バッテリ管理ユニット(BMU)を含む。バッテリ管理ユニットは、バッテリ2の電圧やバッテリ2の状態(充電率等)に関する情報を制御部10に送信する。 The battery 2 includes a battery management unit (BMU). The battery management unit transmits, to the control unit 10, information on the voltage of the battery 2 and the state (charging rate etc.) of the battery 2.
 なお、バッテリ2の数は一つに限らず、複数であってもよい。バッテリ2は、例えばリチウムイオン電池であるが、他の種類のバッテリであってもよい。バッテリ2は、異なる種類(例えば、リチウムイオン電池と鉛電池)のバッテリから構成されてもよい。 The number of batteries 2 is not limited to one, and may be plural. The battery 2 is, for example, a lithium ion battery, but may be another type of battery. The battery 2 may be composed of batteries of different types (eg, lithium ion battery and lead battery).
 モータジェネレータ3は、バッテリ2から供給された電力によって車輪8を駆動するためのトルクを出力する。または、モータジェネレータ3は、車輪8の回転にともなって電力を出力する。 The motor generator 3 outputs a torque for driving the wheel 8 by the power supplied from the battery 2. Alternatively, the motor generator 3 outputs power as the wheel 8 rotates.
 具体的には、モータジェネレータ3は、電力変換部30から供給される交流電力により駆動されることで、車輪8を駆動するためのトルクを出力する。トルクは、制御部10が電力変換部30の半導体スイッチQ1~Q6に目標トルクに基づいて算出された通電タイミングとデューティ比を有するPWM信号を出力することで制御されてもよい。すなわち、トルクは、制御部10がバッテリ2からモータジェネレータ3に供給される電力を制御することで制御されてもよい。 Specifically, motor generator 3 is driven by AC power supplied from power conversion unit 30 to output a torque for driving wheels 8. The torque may be controlled by the control unit 10 outputting, to the semiconductor switches Q1 to Q6 of the power conversion unit 30, a PWM signal having a conduction timing and a duty ratio calculated based on the target torque. That is, the torque may be controlled by the control unit 10 controlling the power supplied from the battery 2 to the motor generator 3.
 モータジェネレータ3は、車輪8に機械的に接続されており、トルクによって所望の方向に車輪8を回転させる。本実施形態では、モータジェネレータ3は、クラッチを介さずに車輪8に機械的に接続されている。なお、モータジェネレータ3の種類は特に限定されない。 The motor generator 3 is mechanically connected to the wheel 8 and rotates the wheel 8 in a desired direction by torque. In the present embodiment, the motor generator 3 is mechanically connected to the wheel 8 without a clutch. The type of motor generator 3 is not particularly limited.
 また、モータジェネレータ3は、車輪8の回転にともなって交流電力を出力する。具体的には、モータジェネレータ3は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が減速した場合や、外力によってモータジェネレータ3が回転する場合に、交流電力(すなわち、回生電力)を出力する。モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が減速した場合としては、例えば、走行中に車両のブレーキがかけられて制動された場合が挙げられる。また、外力によってモータジェネレータ3が回転する場合としては、例えば、バッテリ2からモータジェネレータ3に電力が供給されていない状態において、慣性によって走行する場合や坂道(下り坂)を走行する場合が挙げられる。 Further, the motor generator 3 outputs AC power as the wheel 8 rotates. Specifically, motor generator 3 outputs AC power (that is, regenerative power) when the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is reduced or when motor generator 3 is rotated by an external force. As a case where the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is decelerated, for example, there is a case where the vehicle is braked and being braked while traveling. Further, as a case where the motor generator 3 is rotated by an external force, for example, there is a case of traveling by inertia or a case of traveling on a slope (downhill) in a state where power is not supplied from the battery 2 to the motor generator 3 .
 これらの他にも、モータジェネレータ3が外力によって回転する場合には、外力(例えば、ユーザの手)で車輪8を回転させ得るように車輪8のスタンドが立てられて車輪8が地面から離れた状態において、外力で車輪8を回転させることにともなってモータジェネレータ3が回転する場合が含まれる。 Besides these, when the motor generator 3 is rotated by an external force, the stand of the wheel 8 is erected so that the wheel 8 can be rotated by an external force (for example, a user's hand) and the wheel 8 is separated from the ground In the state, the case where the motor generator 3 rotates as the wheel 8 is rotated by an external force is included.
 モータジェネレータ3が出力した交流電力は、電力変換部30によって直流電力に変換され、変換された直流電力でバッテリ2が充電(すなわち、回生充電)される。 The AC power output from the motor generator 3 is converted into DC power by the power conversion unit 30, and the battery 2 is charged (that is, regeneratively charged) with the converted DC power.
 充電器9は、電源13から供給された交流電力でバッテリ2を充電する。充電器9は、AC-DCコンバータ91と、コンバータ制御部92と、充電プラグ93とを有する。充電プラグ93は、図示しないコンセントを介して電源13に接続される。AC-DCコンバータ91は、充電プラグ93を介して電源13から入力された交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する。コンバータ制御部92はAC-DCコンバータ91の電力変換を制御する。 The charger 9 charges the battery 2 with AC power supplied from the power supply 13. The charger 9 has an AC-DC converter 91, a converter control unit 92, and a charging plug 93. The charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13 via an outlet (not shown). The AC-DC converter 91 converts an AC voltage input from the power supply 13 through the charging plug 93 into a DC voltage. Converter control unit 92 controls power conversion of AC-DC converter 91.
 アングルセンサ4は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度を検出するために、モータジェネレータ3のロータの回転角度を検出するセンサである。図3に示すように、モータジェネレータ3のロータの周面には、N極とS極の磁石(センサマグネット)が交互に取り付けられている。アングルセンサ4は、例えばホール素子により構成されており、モータジェネレータ3の回転に伴う磁場の変化を検出する。なお、磁石は、フライホイール(図示せず)の内側に設けられてもよい。 The angle sensor 4 is a sensor that detects the rotation angle of the rotor of the motor generator 3 in order to detect the rotation speed of the motor generator 3. As shown in FIG. 3, magnets (sensor magnets) of N pole and S pole are alternately attached to the circumferential surface of the rotor of the motor generator 3. The angle sensor 4 is formed of, for example, a Hall element, and detects a change in the magnetic field accompanying the rotation of the motor generator 3. The magnet may be provided inside the flywheel (not shown).
 図3に示すように、アングルセンサ4は、U相アングルセンサ4uと、V相アングルセンサ4vと、W相アングルセンサ4wとを有している。本実施形態では、U相アングルセンサ4uとV相アングルセンサ4vとはモータジェネレータ3のロータに対して30°の角度をなすように配置されている。同様に、V相アングルセンサ4vとW相アングルセンサ4wとはモータジェネレータ3のロータに対して30°の角度をなすように配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the angle sensor 4 includes a U-phase angle sensor 4 u, a V-phase angle sensor 4 v, and a W-phase angle sensor 4 w. In the present embodiment, U-phase angle sensor 4 u and V-phase angle sensor 4 v are arranged to form an angle of 30 ° with the rotor of motor generator 3. Similarly, the V-phase angle sensor 4v and the W-phase angle sensor 4w are disposed at an angle of 30 ° with respect to the rotor of the motor generator 3.
 図4に示すように、U相アングルセンサ4u、V相アングルセンサ4vおよびW相アングルセンサ4wは、ロータアングル(角度位置)に応じた位相のパルス信号(すなわち、回転角度の検出信号)を出力する。 As shown in FIG. 4, U-phase angle sensor 4u, V-phase angle sensor 4v and W-phase angle sensor 4w output pulse signals in phase according to the rotor angle (angular position) (that is, detection signals of rotation angles) Do.
 また、図4に示すように、所定のロータアングルごとに、ロータステージを示す番号(ロータステージ番号)が割り振られている。ロータステージはモータジェネレータ3のロータの角度位置を示しており、本実施形態では、電気角で60°ごとにロータステージ番号1,2,3,4,5,6が割り振られている。ロータステージは、U相アングルセンサ4u、V相アングルセンサ4vおよびW相アングルセンサ4wの出力信号のレベル(HレベルまたはLレベル)の組合せにより定義されている。例えば、ロータステージ番号1は(U相、V相、W相)=(H,L,H)であり、ロータステージ番号2は(U相、V相、W相)=(H,L,L)である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a number (rotor stage number) indicating a rotor stage is assigned to each predetermined rotor angle. The rotor stage indicates the angular position of the rotor of the motor generator 3. In this embodiment, rotor stage numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are assigned every 60 ° in electrical angle. The rotor stage is defined by a combination of levels (H level or L level) of output signals of U-phase angle sensor 4 u, V-phase angle sensor 4 v and W-phase angle sensor 4 w. For example, rotor stage No. 1 is (U phase, V phase, W phase) = (H, L, H), and rotor stage No. 2 is (U phase, V phase, W phase) = (H, L, L) ).
 アクセルポジションセンサ5は、ユーザのアクセル操作により設定されたアクセル操作量を検知し、検知されたアクセル操作量を電気信号として制御部10に送信する。ユーザが加速したい場合に、アクセル操作量は大きくなる。 The accelerator position sensor 5 detects an accelerator operation amount set by the user's accelerator operation, and transmits the detected accelerator operation amount to the control unit 10 as an electric signal. When the user wants to accelerate, the accelerator operation amount becomes large.
 メータ7は、電動二輪車100に設けられたディスプレイ(例えば液晶パネル)であり、各種情報を表示する。具体的には、電動二輪車100の走行速度、バッテリ2の残量、現在時刻、走行距離などの情報がメータ7に表示される。本実施形態では、メータ7は、電動二輪車100のハンドル(図示せず)に設けられる。 The meter 7 is a display (for example, a liquid crystal panel) provided on the electric motorcycle 100, and displays various information. Specifically, information such as the traveling speed of the electric motorcycle 100, the remaining amount of the battery 2, the current time, and the traveling distance is displayed on the meter 7. In the present embodiment, the meter 7 is provided on a handle (not shown) of the electric motorcycle 100.
 次に、電動車両制御装置1の制御部10について詳しく説明する。 Next, the control unit 10 of the electric vehicle control device 1 will be described in detail.
 制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3が出力した電力でバッテリ2を充電(すなわち、回生充電)する制御を行う。 Control unit 10 performs control of charging battery 2 (that is, regenerative charging) with the power output from motor generator 3.
 また、制御部10は、充電器9に対して、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。具体的には、制御部10は、AC-DCコンバータ91に対して交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を行うことで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。より具体的には、制御部10は、コンバータ制御部92に対して電源13から供給される電力によるバッテリ2の充電を許可する充電許可信号を出力することで、コンバータ制御部92によるAC-DCコンバータ91の制御を介してバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。 Further, the control unit 10 controls the charger 9 to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13. Specifically, the control unit 10 controls the AC-DC converter 91 to convert an AC voltage to a DC voltage, thereby performing control to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13. More specifically, control unit 10 outputs a charge permission signal for permitting charging of battery 2 by the power supplied from power supply 13 to converter control unit 92, whereby the AC-DC by converter control unit 92 is output. Control for charging the battery 2 is performed via control of the converter 91.
 電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電可能な状態において、制御部10は、アングルセンサ4から出力されたパルス信号に基づいて、電力を出力する状態おけるモータジェネレータ3の回転速度を検出する。 In a state in which battery 2 can be charged with the power supplied from power supply 13, control unit 10 detects the rotational speed of motor generator 3 in the state of outputting power based on the pulse signal output from angle sensor 4 .
 一例として、制御部10は、図4に示すように、V相ロータアングルセンサの出力の立下りからU相ロータアングルセンサの出力の立ち上がりまでの時間tに基づいてモータジェネレータ3の回転速度を算出する。 As an example, control unit 10 calculates the rotational speed of motor generator 3 based on time t from the fall of the output of the V-phase rotor angle sensor to the rise of the output of the U-phase rotor angle sensor as shown in FIG. Do.
 電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電可能な状態においてモータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態としては、例えば、外力で車輪8を回転させ得るように車輪8のスタンドが立てられて車輪8が地面から離れた状態を挙げることができる。 As a state in which the motor generator 3 outputs electric power in a state in which the battery 2 can be charged with the electric power supplied from the power source 13, for example, a stand of the wheel 8 is erected so that the wheel 8 can be rotated by an external force. Can be mentioned as being off the ground.
 このように、車輪8のスタンドが立てられて車輪8が地面から離れた状態は、電源13に充電プラグ93を接続してバッテリ2を充電し得る状態であり、なおかつ、車輪8を手で回転させてモータジェネレータ3に電力を発生させ得る状態である。 As described above, when the stand of the wheel 8 is erected and the wheel 8 is separated from the ground, the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13 to charge the battery 2, and the wheel 8 is manually rotated. And the motor generator 3 can generate electric power.
 制御部10は、このような電源13およびモータジェネレータ3の双方からの充電が可能な状態におけるバッテリ2の充電を規制することで、電源13とモータジェネレータ3との双方からバッテリ2に過剰な電力が供給されることを回避するように構成されている。 Control unit 10 regulates charging of battery 2 in a state in which charging from both power supply 13 and motor generator 3 is possible, whereby excessive power to battery 2 from both power supply 13 and motor generator 3 is obtained. Are configured to avoid being supplied.
 具体的には、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が検出された後、検出された回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続するまで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を待機する。 Specifically, after the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is detected, control unit 10 controls the battery supplied with power supplied from power supply 13 until the state in which the detected rotational speed is equal to or lower than the threshold speed continues for a threshold time. Wait for control to charge 2.
 そして、制御部10は、検出されたモータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したとき、電源13からから供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。 Then, when the state where the detected rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or lower than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time, control unit 10 performs control to charge battery 2 with the power supplied from power supply 13.
 モータジェネレータ3の閾値速度は、回転速度の絶対値の閾値であってもよい。 The threshold speed of the motor generator 3 may be a threshold of the absolute value of the rotational speed.
 より具体的には、制御部10は、充電プラグ93が電源13に接続された後に、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続するまで、AC-DCコンバータ91に対して、交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を待機してもよい。 More specifically, control unit 10 causes AC-DC converter 91 to continue until the state where the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or lower than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time after charging plug 93 is connected to power supply 13. It may wait for control to convert alternating current voltage to direct current voltage.
 そして、制御部10は、閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したとき、AC-DCコンバータ91に対して、交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を行ってもよい。AC-DCコンバータ91に対する制御は、コンバータ制御部92を介して行ってもよい。 Then, the control unit 10 may control the AC-DC converter 91 to convert an AC voltage into a DC voltage when the state of being equal to or lower than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time. Control of the AC-DC converter 91 may be performed via the converter control unit 92.
 例えば、制御部10は、予め設定された判定周期で回転速度が閾値速度以下であるか否かを判定し、回転速度が閾値速度以下である場合に、閾値速度以下である状態の継続時間のカウント値をインクリメントしてもよい。制御部10は、カウント値が閾値時間に相当する完了値に達するまで、電源から供給された電力でバッテリを充電する制御を待機してもよい。 For example, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the rotation speed is equal to or less than the threshold speed in a predetermined determination cycle, and when the rotation speed is equal to or less than the threshold speed, the duration time of the state equal to or less than the threshold speed. The count value may be incremented. The control unit 10 may stand by for control of charging the battery with the power supplied from the power supply until the count value reaches the completion value corresponding to the threshold time.
 そして、制御部10は、カウント値が完了値に達したときに、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行ってもよい。 Then, when the count value reaches the completion value, the control unit 10 may perform control to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13.
 また、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下でない場合に、カウント値をリセットしてもよい。また、カウント値の完了値までのカウントアップ(カウント値のインクリメント)の替わりに、カウント値の完了値までのカウントダウン(カウント値のディクリメント)を行うようにしてもよい。 Further, the control unit 10 may reset the count value when the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is not equal to or less than the threshold speed. Further, instead of counting up (incrementing the count value) up to the completion value of the count value, countdown (decrement of the count value) to the completion value of the count value may be performed.
(電動二輪車100の制御方法)
 以下、図5のフローチャートを参照して、電動車両制御方法の一例として、第1の実施形態に係る電動二輪車100の制御方法について説明する。なお、図5のフローチャートは、必要に応じて繰り返される。
(Control Method of Electric Motorcycle 100)
Hereinafter, a control method of the electric motorcycle 100 according to the first embodiment will be described as an example of the electric vehicle control method with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. The flowchart of FIG. 5 is repeated as necessary.
 先ず、電源13に充電プラグ93を接続する(ステップS1)。 First, the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13 (step S1).
 電源13に充電プラグ93が接続された後、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態であるか否かを判定する(ステップS2)。 After the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13, the control unit 10 determines whether the motor generator 3 is in the state of outputting power (step S2).
 例えば、制御部10は、バッテリ2からモータジェネレータ3に電力が供給されていない状態においてアングルセンサ4によってモータジェネレータ3の回転が検出されていることや、アクセル操作量がゼロの状態においてモータジェネレータ3の回転が検出されていること等に基づいて、モータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態であるか否かを判定してもよい。 For example, in a state where power is not supplied from the battery 2 to the motor generator 3, the control unit 10 detects that the rotation of the motor generator 3 is detected by the angle sensor 4 or when the accelerator operation amount is zero. Whether or not the motor generator 3 is in the state of outputting power may be determined based on whether or not the rotation of the motor generator 3 is detected.
 モータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態である場合(ステップS2:Yes)、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値以下である状態(すなわち、低速状態)の継続時間を数えるためのカウント値nをリセットする(n=0)(ステップS3)。一方、モータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態でない場合(ステップS2:No)、制御部10は、コンバータ制御部92に充電許可信号を出力することで、電源13から供給された電力によるバッテリ2の充電を許可する(ステップS9)。 When motor generator 3 is in the state of outputting electric power (step S2: Yes), control unit 10 is a count for counting the duration of the state in which the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or less than the threshold (ie, low speed state). The value n is reset (n = 0) (step S3). On the other hand, when motor generator 3 is not in the state of outputting electric power (step S2: No), control unit 10 outputs a charge permission signal to converter control unit 92 to allow battery 2 to be supplied with power supplied from power supply 13. The charging is permitted (step S9).
 カウント値nをリセットした後、制御部10は、アングルセンサ4のパルス信号を取得する(ステップS4)。 After resetting the count value n, the control unit 10 acquires a pulse signal of the angle sensor 4 (step S4).
 アングルセンサ4のパルス信号を取得した後、制御部10は、取得されたパルス信号に基づいて、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度を算出する(ステップS5)。 After acquiring the pulse signal of the angle sensor 4, the control unit 10 calculates the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 based on the acquired pulse signal (step S5).
 モータジェネレータ3の回転速度を算出した後、制御部10は、算出されたモータジェネレータ3の回転速度の絶対値が閾値以下であるか否かを判定する(ステップS6)。 After calculating the rotation speed of the motor generator 3, the control unit 10 determines whether the calculated absolute value of the rotation speed of the motor generator 3 is equal to or less than a threshold (step S6).
 モータジェネレータ3の回転速度の絶対値が閾値以下である場合(ステップS6:Yes)、制御部10は、カウント値をインクリメントする(n=n+1)(ステップS7)。一方、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度の絶対値が閾値以下でない場合(ステップS6:No)、制御部10は、カウント値をリセットする(ステップS3)。 If the absolute value of the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or less than the threshold (step S6: Yes), control unit 10 increments the count value (n = n + 1) (step S7). On the other hand, when the absolute value of the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is not equal to or less than the threshold (step S6: No), control unit 10 resets the count value (step S3).
 カウント値をインクリメントした後、制御部10は、カウント値が完了値に達したか否かを判定する(ステップS8)。この判定は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したか否かの判定に相当する。 After incrementing the count value, the control unit 10 determines whether the count value has reached the completion value (step S8). This determination corresponds to the determination as to whether or not the state where the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or less than the threshold speed has continued for the threshold time.
 カウント値が完了値に達した場合(ステップS8:Yes)、制御部10は、コンバータ制御部92に充電許可信号を出力する。一方、カウント値が完了値に達していない場合(ステップS8:No)、制御部10は、アングルセンサ4のパルス信号を取得する(ステップS4)。 If the count value has reached the completion value (step S8: Yes), control unit 10 outputs a charge permission signal to converter control unit 92. On the other hand, when the count value has not reached the completion value (step S8: No), the control unit 10 acquires a pulse signal of the angle sensor 4 (step S4).
 なお、図5の例において、制御部10は、電源13に充電プラグ93が接続された後に、ステップS2~ステップS8までの処理を行っている。これに対して、制御部10は、カウント値が完了値に達した後に、電源13に充電プラグ93が接続されたことを確認してもよい。この場合、制御部10は、電源13に充電プラグ93が接続されたことが確認されることを待って、コンバータ制御部92に充電許可信号を出力してもよい。 In the example of FIG. 5, after the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13, the control unit 10 performs the processing from step S2 to step S8. On the other hand, the control unit 10 may confirm that the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13 after the count value reaches the completion value. In this case, control unit 10 may output a charge permission signal to converter control unit 92 after it is confirmed that charging plug 93 is connected to power supply 13.
 以下、第1の実施形態によってもたらされる作用について説明する。 Hereinafter, the operation provided by the first embodiment will be described.
 上述したように、第1の実施形態において、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3が電力を出力する状態におけるモータジェネレータ3の回転速度が検出(算出)された後、検出された回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続するまで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を待機する。そして、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したとき、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。 As described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 10 detects (calculates) the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 in the state where the motor generator 3 outputs electric power, and then the detected rotational speed is the threshold speed. Control for charging the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13 is awaited until the following state continues for the threshold time. Then, when the state where the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or lower than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time, control unit 10 performs control to charge battery 2 with the power supplied from power supply 13.
 これにより、車輪8の回転にともなうモータジェネレータ3の発電が十分に抑制された状態において、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電することができる。 Thus, battery 2 can be charged with the power supplied from power supply 13 in a state where the power generation of motor generator 3 due to the rotation of wheel 8 is sufficiently suppressed.
 この結果、電源13とモータジェネレータ3との双方からバッテリ2に過剰な電力が供給されることを未然に回避して、バッテリ2の充電を適切に行うことが可能となる。 As a result, it is possible to prevent the excessive supply of power from the power source 13 and the motor generator 3 to the battery 2 in advance, and to charge the battery 2 appropriately.
 また、上述したように、第1の実施形態において、制御部10は、コンバータ制御部92を介してAC-DCコンバータ91に対して交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を行うことで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。その際に、制御部10は、充電プラグ93が電源13に接続された後に(図5のステップS1)、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続するまで(図5のステップS8)、電源13から供給された交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を待機し、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したときに、交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する制御を行う(図5のステップS9)。 Further, as described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 10 controls the AC-DC converter 91 to convert an AC voltage to a DC voltage via the converter control unit 92, thereby the power supply 13 Control to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the At that time, after the charging plug 93 is connected to the power supply 13 (step S1 in FIG. 5), the control unit 10 continues until the state where the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is lower than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time (FIG. 5). Step S8), stands by for control to convert the AC voltage supplied from the power supply 13 into DC voltage, and the state where the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is equal to or less than the threshold speed continues for a threshold time. Control to convert to (step S9 in FIG. 5).
 これにより、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続するまでは、電源13からAC-DCコンバータ91に入力された交流電力の直流電力への変換を待機することができるので、車輪8の回転にともなうモータジェネレータ3の発電が十分に抑制された状態におけるバッテリ2の充電を確実に行うことができる。 Thus, conversion of AC power input from the power supply 13 to the AC-DC converter 91 to DC power can be awaited until the state where the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is less than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time. Therefore, charging of battery 2 can be reliably performed in a state where the power generation of motor generator 3 due to the rotation of wheel 8 is sufficiently suppressed.
 また、上述したように、第1の実施形態において、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度の閾値速度として、回転速度の絶対値の閾値を用いることで、車輪8の回転方向にかかわらず、車輪8の回転にともなうモータジェネレータ3の発電が十分に抑制された状態において、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電することができる。 In addition, as described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 10 uses the threshold of the absolute value of the rotational speed as the threshold speed of the rotational speed of the motor generator 3, regardless of the rotational direction of the wheel 8. The battery 2 can be charged with the power supplied from the power supply 13 in a state where the power generation of the motor generator 3 due to the rotation of the wheel 8 is sufficiently suppressed.
 また、上述したように、第1の実施形態において、制御部10は、予め設定された判定周期でモータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下であるか否かを判定する(図5のステップS5)。制御部10は、回転速度が閾値速度以下である場合に、閾値速度以下である状態の継続時間のカウント値をインクリメントし(図5のステップS7)、カウント値が閾値時間に相当する完了値に達するまで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を待機する(ステップS8)。そして、制御部10は、カウント値が完了値に達したときに、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う(ステップS9)。 Further, as described above, in the first embodiment, control unit 10 determines whether or not the rotational speed of motor generator 3 is equal to or lower than the threshold speed at a preset determination cycle (step S5 in FIG. 5). ). When the rotational speed is equal to or less than the threshold speed, the control unit 10 increments the count value of the continuation time of the state equal to or less than the threshold speed (step S7 in FIG. 5). Until it reaches, control for charging the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13 is awaited (step S8). Then, when the count value reaches the completion value, the control unit 10 performs control to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13 (step S9).
 これにより、カウント値が閾値時間に相当する完了値に達するまでは、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を待機することができる。この結果、車輪8の回転にともなうモータジェネレータ3の発電が十分に抑制された状態におけるバッテリ2の充電を簡便な制御で確実に行うことができる。 As a result, the control of charging the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13 can stand by until the count value reaches the completion value corresponding to the threshold time. As a result, charging of battery 2 in a state where the power generation of motor generator 3 due to the rotation of wheel 8 is sufficiently suppressed can be reliably performed by simple control.
 また、上述したように、第1の実施形態において、制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下でない場合に、閾値速度以下である状態の継続時間のカウント値をリセットする。 Further, as described above, in the first embodiment, when the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is not equal to or lower than the threshold speed, the control unit 10 resets the count value of the continuation time of the state equal to or lower than the threshold speed.
 これにより、回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続することを確実に待ったうえで、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行うことができる。この結果、車輪8の回転にともなうモータジェネレータ3の発電が十分に抑制された状態におけるバッテリ2の充電を更に確実に行うことができる。 Thus, it is possible to perform control to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13 after waiting for the threshold time to continue with a state in which the rotational speed is equal to or less than the threshold speed. As a result, charging of battery 2 in a state where the power generation of motor generator 3 due to the rotation of wheel 8 is sufficiently suppressed can be performed more reliably.
(第2の実施形態)
 次に、図6を参照して、第2の実施形態に係る電動二輪車100について説明する。図6に示すように、第2の実施形態に係る電動二輪車100は、第1の実施形態の構成に加えて、更に、収納部の一例であるシート下収納部14と、閉鎖状態検出部の一例であるシートスイッチ15とを備える。
Second Embodiment
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an electric motorcycle 100 according to a second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, the electric motorcycle 100 according to the second embodiment further includes an under-seat storage unit 14 which is an example of a storage unit, and a closed state detection unit. And a seat switch 15 which is an example.
 シート下収納部14は、電動二輪車100のシートの下に設けられたバッテリ2を収納するための開閉可能なスペースである。シートは、例えばヒンジ機構等によってシート下収納部14を開閉可能な方向に移動(例えば、回転)できるように車体に取り付けられている。運転時において、シート下収納部14は、運転者がシートに座るためにシートで覆われる。一方、バッテリ2の充電時において、シート下収納部14は、充電プラグ93を取り出すためにシートの移動によって開放される。 The under-seat storage portion 14 is an openable / closable space for storing the battery 2 provided under the seat of the electric motorcycle 100. The seat is attached to the vehicle body so as to be able to move (for example, rotate) the lower sheet storage portion 14 in a direction in which the lower sheet storage portion 14 can be opened and closed by, for example, a hinge mechanism. In operation, the lower seat storage unit 14 is covered by the seat so that the driver can sit on the seat. On the other hand, when the battery 2 is charged, the lower sheet storage portion 14 is opened by the movement of the sheet in order to take out the charging plug 93.
 シートスイッチ15は、シートの移動によってシート下収納部14が開放された場合、シート下収納部14の開放状態の検出結果を示すオフ信号を制御部10に出力する。一方、シートスイッチ15は、シートの移動によってシート下収納部14が閉鎖された場合、シート下収納部14の閉鎖状態の検出結果を示すオン信号を制御部10に出力する。なお、シート下収納部14は、充電プラグ93が取り出された状態で閉鎖させることができる。 The sheet switch 15 outputs an off signal indicating the detection result of the open state of the lower sheet storage portion 14 to the control unit 10 when the lower sheet storage portion 14 is opened by the movement of the sheet. On the other hand, when the lower sheet storage unit 14 is closed by the movement of the sheet, the sheet switch 15 outputs an on signal indicating the detection result of the closed state of the lower sheet storage unit 14 to the control unit 10. The lower sheet storage portion 14 can be closed in a state in which the charging plug 93 is taken out.
 シートスイッチ15は、例えば、シートを閉じるときにシートで押圧されることによってオンし、シートを開くときにシートによる押圧が解除されることによってオフするメカニカルスイッチであってもよい。 The sheet switch 15 may be, for example, a mechanical switch that is turned on by being pressed by the sheet when the sheet is closed, and turned off by releasing the pressure by the sheet when the sheet is opened.
 制御部10は、モータジェネレータ3の回転速度が閾値速度以下である状態が閾値時間継続したときに、シートスイッチ15によってシート下収納部14の閉鎖状態(オン信号)が検出されている場合に、電源13から供給された電力でバッテリ2を充電する制御を行う。 When the state where the rotational speed of the motor generator 3 is equal to or less than the threshold speed continues for the threshold time, the control section 10 detects that the sheet lower storage portion 14 is in the closed state (ON signal) by the sheet switch 15. Control is performed to charge the battery 2 with the power supplied from the power supply 13.
 以下、図7のフローチャートを参照して、第2の実施形態に係る電動二輪車100の制御方法について、第1の実施形態との差異を中心に説明する。なお、図7のフローチャートは、必要に応じて繰り返される。 The control method of the electric motorcycle 100 according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7, focusing on the difference from the first embodiment. The flowchart of FIG. 7 is repeated as necessary.
 図7に示すように、第2の実施形態において、制御部10は、カウント値が完了値に達した場合(ステップS8:Yes)、シートスイッチ15がオンしたか否かを判定する(ステップS10)。 As shown in FIG. 7, in the second embodiment, when the count value reaches the completion value (step S8: Yes), the control unit 10 determines whether the sheet switch 15 is turned on (step S10). ).
 シートスイッチ15がオンした場合(ステップS10:Yes)、制御部10は、コンバータ制御部92に充電許可信号を出力する(ステップS9)。一方、シートスイッチ15がオンしていない場合(ステップS10:No)、制御部10は、カウント値をリセットする(ステップS3)。 When the seat switch 15 is turned on (step S10: Yes), the control unit 10 outputs a charge permission signal to the converter control unit 92 (step S9). On the other hand, when the sheet switch 15 is not turned on (step S10: No), the control unit 10 resets the count value (step S3).
 上述したように、第2の実施形態によれば、シートが開いた状態でのバッテリ2の充電を禁止することができるので、電源13とモータジェネレータ3との双方からバッテリ2に過剰な電力が供給されることを未然に回避して、バッテリ2の充電を適切に行いながら、シート下収納部14内への異物の混入を防止することができる。 As described above, according to the second embodiment, since charging of the battery 2 in a state where the seat is open can be prohibited, excessive power is supplied to the battery 2 from both the power supply 13 and the motor generator 3. Contamination of foreign matter into the lower sheet storage portion 14 can be prevented while charging the battery 2 appropriately while avoiding supply of the battery 2 in advance.
