The present invention relates to an energy control device for a vehicle with a power source.

It is known that a lean vehicle with a power source, such as an electric motorcycle with a power source, can be parked and can be charged with energy. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a non-contact power supply device provided on a base charges a battery, which is a power source of the power-assisted bicycle, via a power receiving unit mounted on the power-assisted bicycle. There is. Patent Document 1 discloses that the contactless power supply device has a management device that controls charging of a battery of an electrically assisted bicycle.

If the remaining energy level of a lean vehicle with a power source including an electric two-wheeled vehicle falls below a lower limit value that can be used with the lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source cannot be used. Therefore, it is required to control the remaining amount of energy so that the remaining amount of energy of the lean vehicle with a power source does not fall below the usable lower limit value.

By the way, if the running range of the lean vehicle with power source is expanded, it is necessary to increase the amount of energy installed in each lean vehicle with power source. However, the vehicle body of the lean vehicle with a power source is smaller than the vehicle body of a four-wheel vehicle or the like. Therefore, the amount of energy that can be mounted on the lean vehicle with a power source is limited. Therefore, it is required to control the remaining energy amount so that the remaining energy amount of the lean vehicle with a power source does not fall below a lower limit value in which the lean vehicle with a power source can be used.

Also, in sharing of vehicles with power sources, including lean vehicles with power sources, there are many vehicles that are targets for controlling the remaining amount of energy. Therefore, in sharing a vehicle with a power source including the lean vehicle with a power source, the hardware resources necessary for controlling the remaining energy amount increase.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an energy amount control device for a vehicle with a power source, which enables efficient energy management of the vehicle with a power source, even if the moving range of the vehicle with a power source including a lean vehicle with a power source is expanded. To aim.

The present inventor has studied in detail an energy amount control device for a vehicle with a power source, which can make energy management of the vehicle with a power source efficient even if the moving range of the vehicle with a power source including a lean vehicle with a power source is expanded. did.

First, the present inventor examined the characteristics of a four-wheel vehicle with a power source and a lean vehicle with a power source, which are examples of the vehicle with a power source. As a result, the inventor has found that the four-wheel vehicle with a power source and the lean vehicle with a power source each have the following characteristics.

Compared to a lean vehicle with a power source, a four-wheel vehicle with a power source has a larger amount of energy that can be installed, so the distance that can be traveled is longer and the frequency of energy charge is lower. That is, even if the mileage is long for the lean vehicle with the power source, the mileage is short for the four-wheel vehicle with the power source. Therefore, in the case of a four-wheel vehicle with a power source, it is not necessary to manage the amount of energy so much as compared with a lean vehicle with a power source. Therefore, the load of the device that manages the energy amount of the four-wheel vehicle with the power source is lower than that when managing the energy amount of the lean vehicle with the power source. Note that the load is determined by the number of vehicles whose energy amount is managed and the energy management load of each vehicle.

Compared to a four-wheeled vehicle with a power source, a lean vehicle with a power source has a smaller amount of energy that can be installed, so the distance that can be traveled is shorter and the frequency of energy charging is higher. Therefore, in the case of a lean vehicle with a power source, it is necessary to manage the amount of energy more finely than in a four-wheel vehicle with a power source. Therefore, the load of the device that manages the energy amount of the lean vehicle with a power source is higher than that when managing the energy amount of the four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

Especially, when the mileage of a lean vehicle with a power source is increased, a lean vehicle with a power source with a small amount of energy that can be installed will have a higher frequency of energy charge, so it is necessary to manage the energy amount more finely. Therefore, the load of the device that manages the energy amount of the lean vehicle with a power source is considerably higher than that when managing the energy amount of the four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

When only a four-wheel vehicle with a power source having the above-mentioned characteristics is used for sharing, the energy charging time for the four-wheel vehicle with a power source having a large mountable energy amount is the lean vehicle with a power source. Compared to charging energy, it is longer. Further, generally, the number of supply devices that supply energy to the four-wheel vehicle with a power source is limited. Therefore, in all of the four-wheeled vehicles with power sources, energy is charged to the four-wheeled vehicles with power sources by a limited number of supply devices so as not to fall below the amount of energy that can be used by the four-wheeled vehicles with power sources. To increase the load of managing the energy amount in the device that manages the energy amount.

In consideration of the above points, the present inventor has found that, in sharing, a lean vehicle with a power source having a short drivable distance and a high frequency of energy charging, and a power source having a long drivable distance and a long energy charging time. We have found that the energy management of a vehicle with a power source can be made more efficient by combining it with a four-wheeled vehicle.

That is, the present inventor combines the four-wheel vehicle with the power source and the lean vehicle with the power source, which is larger in number than the four-wheel vehicle with the power source, to expand the moving range of the vehicle with the power source, It has been found that the energy management of the vehicle with the power source can be made efficient.

Based on the above examination results, the present inventor has come up with the following configuration.

100, 200, 300 that can be used for transit based on the energy remaining amount related data acquired by the lean vehicle with power source data acquisition unit 14. , 300 are extracted.

The single-use usage data generation unit 19 also generates single-use usage data (lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination usage data) including four-wheel vehicle usage data and lean vehicle usage data. The four-wheel vehicle use data includes the extracted four-wheel vehicle data regarding the single-use available four-wheel vehicle with a power source and the four-wheel vehicle regarding the base on which the extracted four-wheel vehicle with a power source is parked. Including usage start place data. The lean vehicle utilization data is utilization lean vehicle data regarding the extracted lean vehicle with a power source that can be used for transit, and lean vehicle utilization that is data regarding a base on which the extracted lean vehicle with a power source is parked. Including start location data.

That is, the one-time use data generation unit 19 uses the four-wheel vehicle data, which is the data regarding the available four-wheel vehicle with the power source extracted from the four-wheel vehicle with the power source, based on the single-use request data. Four-wheel vehicle usage data including four-wheel vehicle usage start place data, which is data relating to a single-shot usage start location for starting single-use usage of the extracted available four-wheel vehicle with power source, and the energy remaining amount related data And based on the single use request data, the use lean vehicle data that is the extracted data about the lean vehicle with a power source that can be used, and the single shot that starts the single use of the extracted lean vehicle with a power source that can be used One-time use data (including lean vehicle use data including lean vehicle use start place data, which is data on the use start place) Generating a over emissions vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination usage data). Therefore, the one-time use data generation unit 19 functions as a lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination use data generation unit.

The one-time usage data generated by the one-time usage data generation unit 19 may be only one, or may be a plurality of patterns as shown in FIG. 13.

In addition, the single use data generation unit 19 includes, in the combination of the data, data on a use end location of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 used for single use, the lean vehicle with power source 100 used for the first transit use, Include data about the 200,300 end-of-use locations, data about routes when moving from the transit use start location to the one-off use start location, data about the time required from the transit use start location to the one-off use start location, etc. , Single-use data may be generated.

As described above, the single-use use of the four-wheeled vehicle 400 with a power source having a long traveling distance and a long energy charging time and the lean vehicle with a power source having a short traveling distance and a high frequency of energy charging 100, 200, 300 It is possible to improve the efficiency of energy management of a vehicle with a power source by using the connection with the use of the connection.

That is, the four-wheeled vehicle 400 with a power source has a larger amount of energy that can be mounted than the

lean vehicles

100, 200, and 300 with a power source, so that the vehicle can travel a long distance and the frequency of energy charging is low. Therefore, even if the mileage is long for the power source

lean vehicles

100, 200, and 300, the mileage is short for the power source four-wheel vehicle 400. Therefore, in the case of the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400, it is not necessary to manage the amount of energy so much as compared with the lean vehicles with a

power source

100, 200, 300. Therefore, the load of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source in the case of controlling the energy amount of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source is greater than that in the case of controlling the energy amount of the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source. Low.

In this way, by using the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 capable of reducing the load of the energy source control device for a vehicle with power source 400 in combination with the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300, a vehicle with power source It is possible to reduce the load of the vehicle energy amount control device 1 for controlling the energy amount of the vehicle.

Moreover, by combining the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 as described above, the moving range of the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 becomes clear. This facilitates the energy management of the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with the power source, so that the load on the energy control device 1 for a vehicle with the power source can be reduced.

Therefore, by combining the four-wheeled vehicle 400 with a power source and the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with a power source, even if the movement range of the vehicle with a power source is expanded, the energy management of the vehicle with a power source is made efficient. can do.

The single use data generation unit 19 is configured to rearrange the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 parked on a plurality of bases according to the reservation status of the driver, and the like. The type of lean vehicle with a power source that can be used may be extracted from the

vehicles

100, 200, and 300. For example, the one-time use data generation unit 19 uses the lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination including data on the base of the sharing end location so as to adjust the number of the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 arranged with the power source in a plurality of bases. Data may be generated. Further, for example, when the lean vehicle with power source is to be moved to a specific base, the one-time use data generation unit 19 sets the base of the sharing end location of the second transit use to the location requested by the driver. The lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination usage data may be generated so as to be used as a base for another neighborhood that is not the nearest.

The data output unit 20 outputs the one-time use data (lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination use data) generated by the one-time use data generation unit 19 to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source. That is, the data output unit 20 functions as a lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination utilization data output unit.

The single-use usage data generation unit 19 displays a plurality of single-use usage data on the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source, and when the driver selects one from the single-use usage data. , Get selection data that identifies the selected one-time use data.

The one-time use data generation unit 19 determines the one-time use data based on the selection data. That is, the energy control device for a vehicle with a power source 1 accepts a reservation application for single use of a vehicle with a power source, and confirms a reservation for single use of a predetermined four-wheel vehicle with a power source and a lean vehicle with a power source. ..

The data output unit 20 outputs the confirmed single-use data to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source. The display screen 1a displays the single use data and notifies that the reservation of the four-wheel vehicle with a power source and the lean vehicle with a power source has been completed.

The selection data acquisition unit 21 acquires the selection data selected by the driver. That is, when the data output unit 20 outputs a plurality of single-use data to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device for a vehicle 1 with a power source, the selection data acquisition unit 21 selects from the plurality of single-use data. The data selected by the driver is acquired as selection data. The selection data acquired by the selection data acquisition unit 21 is output to the one-time use data generation unit 19.

(Energy control method for vehicles with power source)
Next, a method of controlling the amount of energy in sharing of a vehicle with a power source will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source.

In the energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source shown in Fig. 11, a single-use application for a vehicle with a power source is applied. The reservation acceptance unit 13 makes a single-use application. First, the single use application will be described.

(Single use application)
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display example of an application screen for a one-time use reservation. When the driver starts the single-use application, for example, the reservation receiving unit 13 causes the display screen 1a to display the single-use reservation application data shown in FIG. Note that the reservation receiving unit 13 may cause the display screen 1a to display a display for selecting a single-use application for a vehicle with a power source including a four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

When the driver uses the vehicle with a power source in a single shot, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the use place data and the date and time of use data are input to the display screen 1a of the energy amount control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source. The data input to the display screen 1a of the power source vehicle-mounted energy amount control device 1 is acquired by the reservation reception unit 13 of the power source-equipped vehicle energy amount control device 1.

The use place data is data regarding a departure place (use start place) for starting sharing (use start place request data) and data regarding a destination for ending sharing (use end place) (use end place request data). )including. In FIG. 12, reference numeral 1001 indicates use start location request data regarding the use start location, and reference numeral 1002 indicates use end location request data regarding the use end location.

The starting point includes not only the base where sharing starts, but also the current location of the driver or the starting point of movement. The destination includes not only the base that terminates the use of the lean vehicle with a power source but also the destination of the driver.

The use date / time data includes data regarding a use date / time including at least one of a scheduled start date / time of starting sharing and a scheduled end date / time of ending sharing. In FIG. 12, reference numeral 1003 indicates data regarding the scheduled start date and time of use. As will be described later, in the example shown in FIG. 12, the data regarding the scheduled use end date and time is calculated using the data 1003 regarding the use start date and time and the data 1004 regarding the use time.

The example of single use shown in FIG. 12 is an example of the screen displayed on the display screen 1a in the case of a one-way trip type application in which the departure place and the destination are different. However, the single use may be a round trip type single use. In the round trip type single use, the input of the destination can be omitted. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the usage request vehicle type data 1005 regarding the vehicle type that the driver desires to use in a single use can be input. The usage request vehicle type data 1005 is used when the single-use usage data generation unit 19 determines a vehicle type to be used. The usage-requested vehicle type data 1005 may not be input when the driver makes an application for a one-time use.

In the single-use application, as shown in FIG. 12, the scheduled use start date and time and the use time are input, so that the reservation accepting unit 13 calculates the sharing use end time, and the single-use end based on the moving distance. Calculate the scheduled time. As a result, the data of the time required for the reservation for single use can be obtained. However, the data regarding the scheduled start date and time of starting sharing and the data regarding the scheduled end date and time of ending sharing may be directly inputtable.

When the driver makes a single use, the data that the driver inputs to the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source is the data regarding the desired

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source, and the four wheels with a power source. It may include data regarding the speed of movement to the base where the vehicle 400 is parked (such as the fastest movement desired), data regarding the distance traveled by the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with power sources, and the like.

The single use reservation data is stored in the single use request data storage unit 36 as single use request data.

The one-time use data generating unit 19 extracts the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 that can be used only once, based on the one-time use request data stored in the one-time use request data storage unit 36. The lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200 that can be used from among the lean vehicles with

power source

The one-time use data generation unit 19 generates one-time use data (lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination use data) using the above extraction result. The one-time use data includes four-wheel vehicle use data and lean vehicle use data. The four-wheel vehicle usage data relates to the extracted four-wheel vehicle data regarding the single-use usable four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source and four bases on which the extracted four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 is parked. Wheel vehicle use start place data is included. The lean vehicle usage data is the usage lean vehicle data regarding the extracted

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with a power source that can be used for transit, and the extracted

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with a power source are parked. And the lean vehicle use start place data, which is the data regarding the operating base.

Specifically, the single use data generation unit 19 shares the nearest bases of the departure place and the destination, respectively, based on the data of the departure place and the destination input by the driver in the single use reservation. The place to start use and the place to end sharing use. In the present embodiment, the sharing use start place is the use start place of the lean vehicle with the power source, and the sharing use end place is the use end place of the lean vehicle with the power source. The sharing use start place and the sharing use end place may include not only one base but also a plurality of neighboring bases.

After specifying the sharing use start location and the sharing use end location as described above, the single use data generation unit 19 uses the single-use use of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source and the

lean vehicles

100, 200 with a power source. Decide whether to use 300 transit connections together. That is, the single use data generation unit 19 is a combination of single use and transit use if both the sharing use start location and the sharing use end location are bases on which the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source can be parked. I don't. On the other hand, if the at least one of the sharing use start place and the sharing use end place is a base on which the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 cannot be parked, the single use data generation unit 19 accesses the base. As a means, transit use using the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source is used together with single use of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with power source.

When the use of the four-wheeled vehicle 400 with a power source for one-time use and the use of the connecting vehicle of the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with a power source are used together, the single-use data includes the power source that can be used for the connection use. The first transfer-use lean vehicle data, which is data related to the attached

lean vehicles

100, 200, and 300, is included.

The one-time use data generated by the one-time use data generating unit 19 may not include the data regarding the use start place of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source. The base on which the power source-equipped four-wheel vehicle 400 can be parked may be specified when the single-use request data acquisition unit 18 acquires the single-use request data. As a result, when there is time from the application to the use date and time, it is possible to delay the securing of the power source-equipped four-wheel vehicle 400 used for single use, and the sharing of the power source-equipped four-wheel vehicle 400 by the use date and time can be delayed. The lending frequency can be increased.

The single-use data may also include data on the end-of-use location of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source. Thus, when the driver uses the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 in a single shot, the energy source control device for a vehicle with a power source 1 generates more appropriate single-shot use data in consideration of the single-shot use end location. Can be output. That is, it is possible to propose the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source for the optimum second transit use in consideration of the single use end location.

The data output unit 20 outputs the sharing reservation reception data generated by the reservation reception unit 13 to the display screen 1a of the vehicle energy amount control device 1 with a power source. The display screen 1a displays the sharing reservation acceptance data output from the data output unit 20 on the screen. When the driver confirms and confirms the reservation acceptance data displayed on the display screen 1a, the reservation content for sharing is confirmed.

Next, referring to the flow shown in FIG. 11, an energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source will be described.

In the energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source, first, the data managed by the base management data storage unit 35 is updated at an appropriate timing (step SA1). Accordingly, when the driver uses the vehicle once, based on the latest base management data, the four-wheel vehicle 400 with the power source used for the one-time use, and the

lean vehicle

100, 200 with the power source used for the transit use, 300 allocations can be made.

Further, the lean vehicle data with power source acquisition unit 14 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source data acquisition unit 15 are lean vehicles with

power sources

100, 200, which are parked at a certain base and connected with a connection cable to a connection terminal (not shown). Vehicle data regarding the 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 and base data regarding the base are acquired (step SA2). The lean vehicle management unit 16 with a power source and the four-wheel vehicle management unit 17 with a power source generate a power based on the vehicle data acquired by the lean vehicle data acquisition unit with a power source 14 and the four-wheel vehicle data acquisition unit with a power source 15. The vehicle states of the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 are grasped.

The vehicle data is, for example, vehicle IDs (identification numbers that identify the vehicles) of the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with power sources and the four-wheel vehicle 400 with power sources, data regarding the amount of charge, data regarding the state of the vehicle (failure, Mileage etc.) etc. are included. These data are allocated to the lean vehicles with

power sources

100, 200, 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400, and are stored in the lean vehicle data storage unit 30 and the four-wheel vehicle data storage unit 31.

Also, the base data regarding the base includes data regarding vehicles parked in the base and data regarding the availability of parking areas. These data are stored in the base data storage unit 32 of the vehicle energy amount control device 1 with a power source at appropriate timing.

The energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source refers to the single-use request data stored in the single-use request data storage unit 36, and steps SA1 and SA2 are performed until the sharing start time of the single-use reservation approaches. Is repeated (step SA3). When the reserved allocation time for allocating the single-use reservation comes, the power source vehicle energy amount control device 1 starts the reservation process (Yes in step SA3). Here, the reservation allocation time is set to a predetermined time before the use start date and time based on the single use request data.

Next, we will explain the single-use reservation. As described above, when the driver applies for the single use by inputting to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the energy amount control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source 1 Stores the single use request data in the single use request data storage unit 36. The one-time use request data acquisition unit 18 of the power source equipped vehicle energy amount control device 1 acquires the one-time use request data stored in the one-time use request data storage unit 36 (step SA4). The one-time use request data is data regarding a one-time use of the driver, and includes use start place request data regarding a use start place and use date and time data regarding a use date and time. The single use request data may not include the use date / time data.

In subsequent step SA5, the one-time use data generation unit 19 specifies the sharing use start base and the one-time use start base that may be used, based on the one-time use request data, and the base data storage unit 32 and the base are stored. Using the data stored in the management data storage unit 35, it is confirmed whether or not the required number of

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source and four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 are parked on those bases (step). SA5).

There may be multiple sharing start bases and single-use start bases that may be used.

When the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source and the four-wheel vehicle 400 with power source that can be used for transit and single-shot are parked on the usage start base, the single-shot usage data generation unit 19 causes the single-use data generation unit 19 to continue in step SA6. , Single-use data (lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination use data) is generated based on the single-use request data and the remaining energy-related data (step SA6). The single-use data is data on a four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 that can be used for a single-use, and the four-wheel vehicle data for use and a four-wheel vehicle use start location regarding a base on which the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 is parked. 4 wheel vehicle usage data including data, usage lean vehicle data regarding

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source that can be used for the first transit use, and a base on which the

vehicle

100, 200, 300 is parked. And lean vehicle usage start data including data and lean vehicle usage start data including data.

In the present embodiment, the one-time use data generated in step SA6 is data for the first transit use and one-time use. In this step SA6, the data of the second transit use which uses the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with the power source after the single use of the four-wheel vehicle with the power source is completed is not generated. In this step SA6, single-use data including the data for the second transit use may be generated.

Since the single-use request data includes data regarding the sharing start place, the single-use data includes a base on which the four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 used for single-use acquired in step SA2 is parked. A

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source having an energy remaining amount capable of traveling up to is identified. At this time, if a plurality of vehicle types are available in the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300, the single-shot usage data generation unit 19 causes the single-shot usage data generation unit 19 to correspond to the plurality of

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source. Generate usage data.

Further, when there are a plurality of transit use start bases that may be used for the first transit use, the one-time use data generation unit 19 causes the plurality of use start bases and the parkings at the bases. A plurality of single-use data including the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with the power source being generated is generated.

Further, when there are a plurality of use start bases that can use the four-wheel vehicle 400 with power source in a single range within a range that can be moved by the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with the power source from the first transfer use start base, a single The usage data generation unit 19 generates a plurality of single-use data including a plurality of single-use start bases and a four-wheel vehicle with a power source 400 parked on each of these bases.

That is, the single use data generation unit 19 can generate a plurality of single use data regarding the first transit use and the single use.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of single-use data regarding the first transit use and the single-use use is generated. These one-time use data are lean vehicle type data (use vehicle type data) that is data about usable lean vehicles with a power source extracted from a plurality of types of lean vehicles with a

power source

100, 200, 300, and And base data, which is data regarding a base on which a lean vehicle with a power source of the extracted type is parked.

After that, in step SA7, the data output unit 20 outputs a plurality of single-use data regarding the first transit use and the single-use use to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source. The display screen 1a displays a plurality of single-use data output from the data output unit 20 as shown in FIG. 13, for example.

In the example shown in FIG. 13, as the single use data 1101, three patterns (A, B, C) of single use data are displayed on the display screen 1a. Note that in FIG. 13, in each single-shot use data 1101, reference numeral 1102 indicates data regarding a base on which the lean vehicle with a power source used for the first transit use is parked, and the single-use four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source is used. Reference numeral 1103 indicates data regarding a possible start base of use, and reference numeral 1104 indicates data such as available time. In FIG. 13, reference numeral 1105 is a button for displaying map data.

When the driver selects one from the plurality of single-use data displayed on the display screen 1a, the selection data acquisition unit 21 acquires the selected data as selection data (step SA8).

When the selection data acquisition unit 21 acquires the selection data, the one-time use data generation unit 19 determines the one-time use data for the first transit use and the one-time use data based on the selection data in step SA9.

When the single-use data is determined, the parked vehicle data 86 of the base data storage unit 32 and the current status of the lean vehicle data storage unit 30 of the assigned

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400. The data 67 and the current status data 76 of the four-wheel vehicle data storage unit 31 are updated to “reservation allocation in progress”.

After that, in step SA10, the data output unit 20 outputs the determined single-use data of the first transit use and single-use use to the display screen 1a of the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source. The display screen 1a displays the confirmed single-use data to notify the driver that the reservation of the vehicle with the power source has been completed.

When the driver arrives at the start base for the first transit use based on the notified single use data, the driver operates the power source equipped vehicle energy amount control device 1 provided in the start base to rent the vehicle. Perform the procedure. By this operation, the one-time use data generation unit 19 notifies the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with the power source to be rented out. The notification can be exemplified by a method of generating a horn or turning on a light of the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source. This makes it easier for the driver to find the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source that is rented for transit use.

The driver pulls out the connection cable from the assigned

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with the power source, and the loan for the transit connection on the outbound route is confirmed.

When the vehicle renting for the transit transfer is confirmed, the parked vehicle data 56 in the base data storage unit 32 and the current status data 67 in the lean vehicle data storage unit 30 are updated to “renting” (step SA11).

The driver uses the assigned

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source to move to the start base of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source. When the driver connects the connection cable to the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 at the start-of-use base of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400, the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200 for the first transit use, The return of 300 is confirmed.

When the return of the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source for the first transfer is completed, the parked vehicle data 56 of the base data storage unit 32 and the current status data 67 of the lean vehicle data storage unit 30 are “parking”. Will be updated.

Further, when it is confirmed that the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with the power source for the first transit use are returned, the single use data generation unit 19 notifies the four-wheel vehicle 400 with the power source to be rented out. The notification can be exemplified by a method of generating a horn of the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source or lighting a light. This makes it easier for the driver to find the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source that is rented for single use. The driver performs the procedure of renting the notified four-wheel vehicle with power source 400.

When the procedure for renting out the single-use use of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 is completed, the parked vehicle data 56 in the base data storage unit 32 and the current status data 76 in the four-wheel vehicle data storage unit 31 are updated to “on loan”. (Step SA11).

When the purpose of use of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 that is in single use is completed, the driver moves to the end-of-use base in the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 and returns the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 that is in single use. To do. The return work may be performed by parking the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source in a vacant parking area on the end-of-use base and inserting the connection cable into a connection terminal (not shown). When the connection between the connection cable and the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source is confirmed, the one-time use data generation unit 19 confirms that the one-time use has been completed. As a result, the parked vehicle data 56 in the base data storage unit 32 and the current status data 76 in the four-wheel vehicle data storage unit 31 are updated to "parking" (step SA12).

When the return of the single-use four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 is confirmed, the single-use request data acquisition unit 18 of the energy source control device for a vehicle with power source 18 stores the single-shot use request data storage unit 36. Obtain usage request data (step SA13)

An energy amount control system 510 for a vehicle with a power source is a system for controlling the energy amount of the vehicle with a power source in so-called sharing of a lean vehicle with a power source, in which a plurality of drivers take turns using the vehicle with a power source. Is.

The sharing of this embodiment is sharing of a vehicle with a power source for regular use. Here, the regular use means a case where a lean vehicle with a power source is desired to be used for a predetermined period in a predetermined time zone of the day, for example, when reserved and used for a predetermined period for a plurality of days such as monthly units. To do.

The vehicle-powered vehicle energy amount control system 510 includes a vehicle-powered vehicle energy amount control device 501 and energy supply devices C1 to C3, CH1, and CH2. The configuration of the energy control system 510 for a vehicle with a power source is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the energy control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The following describes a case where the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 is used for sharing as an example of a lean vehicle with a power source, and the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 is used for sharing as an example of a four-wheel vehicle with a power source. The electric assist bicycle 200 and the motorcycle 300 may be used for sharing as a lean vehicle with a power source. As the four-wheel vehicle with a power source, another four-wheel vehicle such as an automatic four-wheel vehicle may be used for sharing.

In the example of FIG. 15, an electric four-wheel vehicle 400 is used as a four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

The description of the charge amount, the remaining fuel amount, and the travelable distance in FIG. 15 is the same as that of the embodiment, and therefore the description thereof is omitted.

(Example of energy control system for vehicles with power source)
FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram of a typical example of sharing by the energy source control system 510 for a vehicle with a power source. The energy amount control system 510 for a vehicle with a power source according to the present embodiment can realize regular use as a form of sharing a lean vehicle with a power source.

The example shown in FIG. 16 schematically shows a case where the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 and the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 are used for regular use.

In FIG. 16, the city area V around the station A ST1 is indicated by a broken line. In the present embodiment, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 is mainly used in the city area V, and the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 is mainly used outside the city area V. In the city area V, it is easy to secure a base place for parking the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100, which requires a smaller parking space than the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400. The electric motorcycle 100 may be used outside the city area V, and the electric four-wheel vehicle 400 may be used inside the city area V.

Explain the example of sharing for regular use shown in FIG. When the driver moves from home H to station A ST1, the driver moves to base Xa with electric four-wheel vehicle 400 parked at base Xb near home H and is parked at base Xa. Transfer to the electric motorcycle 100. Then, the electric motorcycle 100 is moved to the station A ST1, and the electric motorcycle 100 is parked on the base Ya attached to the station A ST1.

When the driver moves from the A station ST1 to the home H, the driver moves to the base Xa with the electric motorcycle 100 parked on the base Ya attached to the A station ST1 and parks on the base Xa. The electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 is moved to the base Xb near the home H and the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 is parked on the base Xb.

The base Xa is provided with an energy supply device C for charging the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 and an energy supply device CH for charging the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400. Accordingly, when the electric motorcycle 100 is parked on the base Xa, the electric motorcycle 100 can be charged. When the electric four-wheel vehicle 400 is parked on the base Xa, the electric four-wheel vehicle 400 can be charged. Although not particularly shown, an energy supply device for charging the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 may be provided in the base Ya attached to the station A ST1. An energy supply device for charging the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 may be provided on the base Xb near the home H.

Note that if the driver regularly uses the motorcycle, the driver replenishes gasoline at a gas station or the like during the regular use.

As described above, the driver charges the energy of the power source-equipped vehicle while regularly using the power source-equipped vehicle, thereby reducing the work load of the energy source-equipped vehicle. Therefore, the energy management of the vehicle with the power source can be made efficient.

Further, while the vehicle with power source is regularly used, the vehicle with power source can be removed from the control target of the energy source control device 501 for vehicle with power source that controls the remaining energy amount. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the load on the energy control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source.

In addition, as described above, by having the driver charge the vehicle with the power source during the regular use, the vehicle with the power source can be used only once during the regular use period of the vehicle with the power source. It is possible to secure a sufficient amount of energy remaining. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the load on the energy control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source.

The usage time of the regular use is longer than the travel time for moving between the two bases (for example, between the base Xa and the base Xb, between the base Xa and the base Ya). Therefore, the driver does not have to worry about time while renting the vehicle with the power source. As a result, it is possible to reduce the driver's resistance to charging energy while renting the vehicle with the power source.

In the above-mentioned regular use, the driver regularly uses the vehicle with the power source for multiple days in the same time zone for 24 hours a day. Therefore, the driver decides the regular use time for performing the regular use and uses the vehicle with the power source. During the regular use time, the driver performs power supply work during nighttime. Therefore, the regular use time is longer than the time required to supply power to the vehicle with the power source and shorter than 24 hours.

Note that the time required to supply power to a vehicle with a power source is not limited to the time required to fully charge the battery device. The time required for the power supply may be a time required to charge the battery device to a charge remaining amount that allows the vehicle with a power source to travel a certain distance.

In the regular use, the driver may park the electric motorcycle 100 on another base Yb (neighboring base) close to the base Ya. Similarly, although not particularly shown, the driver may park the electric motorcycle 100 at another base close to the base Xa. The driver may park the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 at another base close to the bases Xb and Xa, respectively.

If you regularly use lean vehicles with power sources that are parked on multiple bases close to each other as described above, you may set it when you apply for regular use, which will be described later.

In addition, the energy control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source adjusts the number of lean vehicles with a power source to be secured at the base in accordance with the usage situation of single-use use, etc. You may decide the base used by the driver.

In the above description, the case where the driver regularly uses the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 and the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 has been described, but the driver may regularly use only the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100, or the driver may regularly use the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100. Only the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 may be regularly used.

Alternatively, the driver may regularly use three or more electric two-wheeled vehicles 100 and electric four-wheeled vehicles 400.

Note that the regular use described above may be combined with the one-time use in the first embodiment. That is, a vehicle with a power source that is regularly used may be used for single use. As a result, the vehicle with a power source, which is energy-charged by the driver during regular use, can be used for single-shot use, so that the work load of energy charge can be reduced. Therefore, the energy management of the vehicle with the power source can be made efficient.

100, 200, 300 and the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 will be described. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source.

In the energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source shown in Fig. 18, an application for regular use is made. The reservation reception unit 513 makes an application for regular use. First, the application for regular use will be described.

(Regular use application)
FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example of an application screen for regular use reservation. When the driver starts the application for regular use, for example, the reservation reception unit 513 causes the display screen 501a to display the data for regular use reservation application shown in FIG.

When the driver regularly uses the vehicle with power source, the user inputs the regular usage place data, the regular usage date period data, and the regular usage time data into the display screen 501a of the energy source control device 501 for the power source vehicle. The data input to the display screen 501a of the power source equipped vehicle energy amount control device 501 is acquired by the reservation reception unit 513 of the power source equipped vehicle energy amount control device 501.

The above-mentioned regular use place data includes data of a regular use start place for starting a regular use and data of a regular use end place for ending a regular use at a regular use end time. In the example shown in FIG. 19, the regular use place data includes use start place request data 2001 regarding a use start base for regular use and use end place request data 2002 regarding a use end base for regular use. The usage start base and the usage end base may be specified by the name of the base, or based on the base data stored in the base data storage unit 32 when a landmark such as a station is input. The base may be close to the landmark.

When inputting the regular use place, it may be possible to select the usage start base and the usage end base respectively. In this case, when applying for a regular use reservation with different usage start base and usage end base, the usage start base and the usage end base are input respectively. When the usage start base and the usage end base are common, only the usage start base may be input.

The regular use date period data is data relating to a regular use date period in which a regular use is performed for a period longer than two days, and the scheduled use start date for starting the regular use and the scheduled use end date for ending the regular use. Contains data for at least one. In FIG. 19, the regular use date period data is indicated by reference numeral 2003. For example, the regular use date period may be specified by the scheduled start date of use and the period for performing regular use. However, the specification of the regular use date period is not limited to this. For example, the regular use date period may be specified from the dates (start date and end date) of regular use. Further, the regular use date period may be specified from a period until the scheduled end date for ending the regular use. That is, the regular use date period data may be of any type as long as it is data that can specify a period longer than two days.

The regular use time data is data regarding a regular use time during which a regular use is performed within a day, and includes data regarding at least one of a scheduled use start time and a scheduled use end time. In FIG. 19, the regular use time data is indicated by reference numeral 2004. As in the example shown in FIG. 19, the regular use time may be specified by inputting the scheduled regular use start time and the scheduled regular use end time. The identification of the regular use time is not limited to this, and the regular use time may be identified by inputting a time (for example, 8 hours) to be used regularly from the scheduled regular use start time. In other words, the regular use time data may be of any type as long as it is data that can specify the time during which the regular use is performed within one day. The regular use time is longer than the time required for energy charging and shorter than 24 hours. The regular use time is longer than the traveling time in the regular use, and the energy of the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 is used during the regular use time of the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300. It includes the time when charging is possible and the time when energy can be charged in the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 during the regular use time of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400. The regular use time may not include the time during which the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 can be charged with energy during the regular use time of the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, use request vehicle type data 2005 regarding a vehicle type that a driver desires to use in a single use can be input. The use request vehicle type data 2005 is used when the regular use data generation unit 519 determines the type of vehicle used. It is not necessary to input the use request vehicle type data 2005 when the driver applies for the regular use.

The fixed regular use reservation data is stored in the regular use request data storage unit 536 as the regular use request data. The data output unit 20 displays that the regular use reservation is confirmed on the display screen 501a of the energy source control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source.

Next, referring to the flow shown in FIG. 18, a method for controlling the amount of energy for a vehicle with a power source will be described. In the energy amount control method for a vehicle with a power source shown in FIG. 18, the above-described regular use reservation is made in sharing of

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with a power source and four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source.

As described above, in the regular use reservation, the driver applies for the regular use by inputting on the display screen 501a of the energy source control device 501 for a vehicle with a power source as shown in FIG. 19, for example. The regular use reservation data includes regular use place data, regular use date period data, and regular use time data. The reservation data for regular use is stored in the regular use request data storage unit 536 as regular use request data.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the four-wheel vehicle with a power source to be shared is an electric four-wheel vehicle. However, the four-wheel vehicle with a power source to be shared may include any four-wheel vehicle as long as it is a four-wheel vehicle having a power source such as an electric four-wheel vehicle and an automatic four-wheel vehicle.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the energy source control device for vehicle with

power source

1, 501 performs energy sharing of the vehicle with power source in sharing using the four-wheel vehicle with power source 400 and the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300. An example of controlling the amount has been described. However, the energy amount control device for a vehicle with a power source may control the energy amount of the lean vehicle with a power source in sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source. Moreover, the energy amount control device for a vehicle with a power source may control the energy amount of a four-wheel vehicle with a power source in sharing of a four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

In each of the above-described embodiments, in sharing a vehicle with a power source, the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with a power source is used, and then the four-wheel vehicle 400 with a power source is used. However, the sharing of the vehicle with the power source may be a mode of using the four-wheel vehicle with the power source and then using the lean vehicle with the power source. That is, in sharing the vehicle with the power source, either the lean vehicle with the power source or the four-wheel vehicle with the power source may be used first. Further, in sharing a vehicle with a power source, a plurality of lean vehicles with a power source may be connected, or a plurality of four-wheel vehicles with a power source may be connected.

In the first embodiment, the

lean vehicle

100, 200, 300 with power source and the four-wheel vehicle 400 with power source are used individually in sharing of the vehicle with power source. However, the single use of the lean vehicle with the power source may be combined with the regular use of the four-wheel vehicle with the power source as in the second embodiment, or the single use of the four-wheel vehicle with the power source as in the second embodiment. You may combine regular use of a sourced lean vehicle.

In the first embodiment, the lean vehicle with

power source

100, 200, 300 is used for the two transit uses, the first transit use and the second transit use. However, the connecting use using the lean vehicle with the power source may be only one of the first connecting use and the second connecting use.

In the first embodiment, the example shown in FIG. 6 has been described as an example of sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source. However, the sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source may be performed in a mode as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 21, in the second connecting use from the return base XA of the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400, the energy source control device 1 for a vehicle with a power source is input as a destination by the driver when applying for the one-time use. Data including route 1 to base YA closer to the location is generated. However, the energy control device for a vehicle with a power source may also generate data for the route 2 to the base YB close to the base YA.

In the first embodiment, the data of the one-time use application from the driver is stored in the one-time use request data storage unit 36. After the single use request data acquisition unit 18 acquires the single use request data from the single use request data storage unit 36, the single use data generation unit 19 generates the single use data. However, for example, when there is an application from the driver immediately before the start of use of the single use, the single use data generation unit uses the single use based on the data from the reservation reception unit that receives the application from the driver. Data may be generated. Even in this case, it is preferable that the data of the single-use application is stored in the energy control device for a vehicle with a power source as a usage history. Similarly, also in the second embodiment, the regular use data generation unit may generate the regular use data based on the data obtained from the reservation reception unit that has received the regular use application from the driver.

In the above-described first embodiment, in the sharing of the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400, the case where the driver uses the electric four-wheeled vehicle 400 as a single shot and the

lean vehicles

100, 200, 300 with the power source as the transit use is described. However, in sharing a vehicle with a power source, at least one of free use, regular use and fixed use may be combined with single use of the lean vehicle with a power source. Further, in sharing of a vehicle with a power source, at least one of free use, regular use and fixed use may be combined with single use of the four-wheel vehicle with a power source.

Note that the free use is a usage method in which the driver specifies only the usage start location and the usage start time when the driver uses the vehicle with the power source. That is, in the free use, the lean vehicle with a power source is used without determining at least one of the use end place and the use end time (or use time).

In other words, in free use, the use end time is included as data that the driver inputs when making a reservation for single use of a vehicle with a power source. However, in the free use, in the case of a time charge in which the charge is determined by the time until it is returned to the vehicle base with the power source, it is not necessary to input the use end time. In this case, after the vehicle with the power source is returned to the base X, the reservation for the connecting use of the return route is confirmed.

The term “regular use” refers to a case where a driver wants to use a vehicle with a power source for a predetermined period of time during a predetermined time period of the day. It is a method to reserve and use. The regular use is a usage method in which the usage time is longer than the travel time when the driver moves from the usage start place to the usage end place by the vehicle with the power source.

Further, the fixed use is similar to the regular use, and when the driver wants to use the vehicle with a power source for a predetermined period in a predetermined time zone of the day, for example, a plurality of days such as a monthly unit ( It is a method of making a reservation and using collectively for a predetermined period). The fixed use differs from the regular use in that the usage time is equivalent to the travel time when the driver moves from the usage start place to the usage end place by the vehicle with the power source.

In the first embodiment, the one-time use data generation unit 19 uses the one-time use request data and the like to generate the one-time use data. However, the one-time use data generation unit may generate the one-time use data by using the use vehicle type data regarding the vehicle type available for sharing in addition to the one-time use request data and the like.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the control calculation unit 611 of the vehicle energy amount control device 601 with a power source has a use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612. The configuration other than the use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 is the same as the configuration of the vehicle energy amount control device 1 with a power source according to the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

The use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 acquires use vehicle type data regarding a vehicle type that can be used in sharing a vehicle with a power source. Specifically, the use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 can drive from among the vehicle types of the vehicle with a power source used for sharing, based on the driver license data stored in the driver data storage unit 33. Acquire data for various vehicle types.

The use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 may obtain the data of the use vehicle type preset by the driver, or based on the data of the travel distance obtained from the data input by the driver at the time of the single-use application. The data of the determined drivable vehicle type may be acquired, or the data of the drivable vehicle type determined based on the weather or the like may be acquired. That is, the used vehicle type data acquired by the used vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 may be any type of data as long as it is data regarding a vehicle type that can be driven from among vehicle types of vehicles with a power source used for sharing.

The use vehicle type data acquired by the use vehicle type data acquisition unit 612 is used when the one-time use data generation unit 19 generates one-time use data (lean vehicle four-wheel vehicle combination use data). As a result, in sharing a vehicle with a power source, it is possible to determine a vehicle to be used for sharing in consideration of available vehicle types. Therefore, the energy management of the vehicle with the power source can be made efficient while matching with the usage form of the vehicle with the power source by the driver.

FIG. 22 shows a modification of the single use according to the first embodiment. However, in the case of the regular use according to the second embodiment, the regular use data may be generated in consideration of the use vehicle type data. The point of deciding the vehicle to be used for sharing in consideration of the use vehicle type data is the same as the one-time use of the first embodiment, and thus detailed description of the regular use will be omitted.

The present invention can further improve the efficiency of energy management of a vehicle with a power source by combining the energy amount control device for a vehicle with a power source with a charging device that has been devised in various ways. For example, the charging device that has been devised in various ways includes the contactless power supply device provided in the base proposed in Patent Document 1.

The present invention is applicable to energy amount control for a vehicle with a power source that controls the energy amount of those vehicles in the sharing of the vehicle with a power source.
