FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the battery storage unit according to the embodiment when the battery is not fixed, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the battery storage unit according to the embodiment when the battery is fixed. FIG. 6 is a view showing a cross section along the line VI-VI in FIG.
図7に示すように、センタートンネルCTには、接地面に対して後側ほど下方に位置するように傾斜するカバー傾斜面CSが設けられている。センタートンネルCTには、コード収納部230を開閉可能な蓋部材240が設けられている。コード収納部230は、上方に開放する箱状をなしている。コード収納部230には、収納空間230sが形成されている収納空間230sには、充電コード245及び充電コード245以外の他の物品を収納可能である。例えば、コード収納部230内に充電コード245が収納されている状態で、コード収納部230内に他の物品を併せて収納することが可能である。 <Code storage section>
As shown in FIG. 7, the center tunnel CT is provided with a cover inclined surface CS that is inclined so as to be positioned lower toward the rear with respect to the ground contact surface. The center tunnel CT is provided with a
図20に示すように、PDU(Power Driver Unit)321およびECU(Electric Control Unit)322は、一体の制御ユニットであるPCU320を構成している。バッテリ100からの電力は、メインスイッチ260と連動するコンタクタ324を介して、モータドライバたるPDU321に供給される。バッテリ100からの電力は、PDU321にて直流から三相交流に変換された後、三相交流モータであるモータ30に供給される。ECU322は、メインスイッチ260がONとなることにより走行待機状態となる。走行待機状態では、バッテリ100に対する充電は不能とされている。また、ECU322は、メインスイッチ260がOFFとなることにより、バッテリ100の充電を可能とする充電待機状態とする。メインスイッチ260は、ONであるときにON信号をECU322に送信し、OFFであるときにOFF信号をECU322に送信する。 <Control system>
As shown in FIG. 20, a PDU (Power Driver Unit) 321 and an ECU (Electric Control Unit) 322 constitute a
電気回路の駆動系の各部は、第一導体281、第二導体282、第三導体283、第四導体284、第五導体285、第六導体286、第七導体287および第八導体288を含む導体(導線)により、下記の通り電気的に接続される。 <Example of connection configuration of drive system of electric circuit>
Each part of the drive system of the electric circuit includes a
ECU322は、各BMU101a,102aからバッテリ100の状態を取得する。例えば、BMU101a,102aは、前後バッテリ101,102が充電中であるときには充電中信号をECU322に送信し、放電中であるときには放電中信号をECU322に送信する。ECU322は、アクセルセンサ329等から利用者の操作を検出する。ECU322は、収集した情報に基づいて、コンタクタ324、リレー262およびPDU321を制御する。 <Operation of electric circuit>
The
ECU322は、シート開閉検出部80の検出結果に基づいて、車両を制御する制御部としても機能する。シート開閉検出部80は、シート8の開閉状態を示し開閉状態信号をECU322に送信する。ECU322は、シート開閉検出部80により送信された開閉状態信号に基づいて、シート8が開状態であるか閉状態であるかを検出する。ECU322は、シート8の開状態を検出した場合、前後バッテリ101,102に設けられたFET101F,102Fに開信号を送信して、前後バッテリ101,102を充電不能状態とする。また、ECU322は、シート開閉検出部80により送信された開閉状態信号に基づいて、シート8の閉状態を検出した場合、前後バッテリ101,102に設けられたFET101F,102Fに閉信号を送信して、前後バッテリ101,102を充電可能状態とする。 <Operation of ECU>
The
また、前後バッテリ101,102とチャージャー325は、通信線(CAN)400によって接続されている。このため、前後バッテリ101,102とチャージャー325は、ECU322を介することなく、通信線400を介して直接的に信号の授受が可能とされている。 <Connection between battery and charger>
