- the microcomputer 35 functions as an electronic component.
- the microcomputer 35 switches the output voltage to be output to the drive circuit 44 via the signal line F to a low level voltage or a high level voltage.
- the drive circuit 44 detects the voltage of the signal line F using the potential of the ground line G as a reference potential. When the connection switch 36 is on, the potential of the ground line G substantially matches the potential of the ground terminal 31, that is, the ground potential. Therefore, the voltage of the signal line F detected by the drive circuit 44 is the output voltage of the microcomputer 35 .
- the drive circuit 44 switches the gate of the power supply switch 43 to the ground line G potential as the reference potential. Increase voltage. As a result, in the power supply switch 43, the voltage of the gate with the potential of the source as the reference potential rises to a value equal to or higher than a certain voltage, and the power supply switch 43 is turned on.
- the drive circuit 44 lowers the voltage of the gate of the power supply switch 43 with the potential of the ground line G as the reference potential.
- the voltage of the gate with the potential of the source as the reference potential drops to a value less than the constant voltage, and the power supply switch 43 is switched off.
- connection switch 36 When the switching circuit 33 switches the connection switch 36 from ON to OFF, current flow through the ground line G, the connection switch 36 and the ground terminal 31 stops.
- connection switch 36 is ON when the base voltage with the emitter potential as the reference potential is equal to or higher than a certain threshold.
- the threshold is positive. If the voltage at the base referenced to the potential at the emitter is less than the threshold, the state is off. Therefore, the connection switch 36 is switched from ON to OFF when the voltage of the base with the potential of the emitter as the reference potential drops to a value less than the threshold.
- the base of connection switch 36 functions as a control end.
- the state is ON when the base voltage with the emitter potential as the reference potential is equal to or higher than a certain reference voltage. If the voltage at the base, referenced to the potential at the emitter, is less than the reference voltage, the state is off.
- the reference voltage is positive.
- the emitter of circuit switch 50 is connected to ground terminal 31 .
- the base of the circuit switch 50 is connected to the ground line G. Therefore, regarding the circuit switch 50, the voltage of the base with the potential of the emitter as the reference potential is the voltage of the ground line G with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as the reference potential.
- the circuit switch 50 is switched from OFF to ON when the voltage of the ground line G with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as a reference potential rises to a value equal to or higher than the reference voltage.
- the voltage of the ground line G matches the voltage of the portion of the device connector 32 that is connected to the ground line G. FIG. Therefore, the voltage on the ground line G corresponds to the voltage on the device connector 32 .
- FIG. 3 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of the switching circuit 33.
- the voltage of the base with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as the reference potential is referred to as the base voltage.
- FIG. 3 shows transitions of the base voltage and the ground line G voltage.
- the reference potential of the voltage of the ground line G is the potential of the ground terminal 31, that is, the potential of the body E.
- the voltage on the ground line G corresponds to the voltage on the equipment connector 32 .
- FIG. 3 shows transitions of states of the power switch 21, the circuit switch 50, and the connection switch 36.
- Vb is the power supply voltage of the DC power supply 20 .
- Vth and Vr are the threshold and reference voltages, respectively.
- the power supply voltage is a positive voltage with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as a reference potential.
- the ground line G is arranged between the equipment board Bm and the device board Bs. Therefore, the ground wire G may come into contact with the conductor connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply 20 . If the ground wire G contacts the conducting wire, the ground wire G may be connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply 20 . A phenomenon in which the ground line G is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply 20 is called power fault. When a power short-circuit occurs in the ground line G, the voltage of the ground line G rises to the power supply voltage Vb.
- the circuit switch 50 When the circuit switch 50 is off, little current flows through the first circuit resistor 51 . Therefore, when the power switch 21 is switched from off to on, the base voltage of the connection switch 36 rises to the power supply voltage Vb. Since the threshold Vth is equal to or lower than the power supply voltage Vb, the connection switch 36 is switched from off to on when the base voltage of the connection switch 36 rises to the power supply voltage Vb. As described above, when the connection switch 36 is on, the potential of the ground line G substantially matches the potential of the ground terminal 31, that is, the ground potential.
- the circuit switch 50 When a short-circuit occurs in the ground line G, the voltage of the ground line G rises to the power supply voltage Vb. Since the power supply voltage Vb is equal to or higher than the reference voltage Vr, the circuit switch 50 is switched from off to on when the voltage of the ground line G rises to the power supply voltage Vb. When the circuit switch 50 turns on, the base voltage of the connection switch 36 drops to 0V, which is below the threshold Vth. As a result, the connection switch 36 is switched from on to off.
- connection switch 36 When the connection switch 36 is off, no current flows through the ground line G and the connection switch 36. Current flows through the ground line G, the device connector 32 , the second circuit resistor 52 and the ground terminal 31 in this order. Since the current flows through the second circuit resistance 52, the current flowing into the electric device 10 through the ground line G is small. Inflow of overcurrent to the electrical equipment 10 via the ground line G is prevented.
- the resistance of the second circuit resistor 52 is sufficiently greater than the collector-to-emitter resistance of the connection switch 36 that is on.
- connection switch 36 is kept off while the voltage of the ground line G is equal to or higher than the reference voltage Vr.
- the power supply switch 21 When the power supply switch 21 is turned on and the grounding wire G is disconnected, the current flows from the positive electrode of the DC power supply 20 to the power switch 21, the input terminal 40, the drive circuit 44, the device connector 42, and the grounding wire G. , the device connector 32 , the second circuit resistor 52 , the ground terminal 31 , the body E, and the negative electrode of the DC power supply 20 . As a result, the voltage of the ground line G drops below the reference voltage Vr. As a result, the circuit switch 50 switches from ON to OFF.
- the connection switch 36 When the circuit switch 50 is switched off, the base voltage of the connection switch 36 rises to the power supply voltage Vb, and the connection switch 36 is switched from off to on.
- the connection switch 36 When the connection switch 36 is turned on, the voltage of the ground line G drops to 0V.
- the resistance value of the second circuit resistor 52 is from the positive electrode of the DC power supply 20, and the current is from the power switch 21, the input terminal 40, the drive circuit 44, the device connector 42, the ground line G, the device connector 32, the second circuit resistor 52, This is the value at which the voltage of the ground line G drops to a voltage less than the reference voltage Vr when the current flows in the order of the ground terminal 31, the body E, and the negative electrode of the DC power supply 20.
- the switching circuit 33 switches the connection switch 36 from ON to OFF when the voltage of the ground line G with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as a reference potential rises to a value equal to or higher than the reference voltage. Therefore, when the ground line G is short-circuited to the power supply, the connection switch 36 is switched from ON to OFF, and overcurrent is prevented from flowing into the electric device 10 via the ground line G. Since the device board Bm is connected to the device board Bs of the switch device 11 by the ground line G, there is a high possibility that the ground line G will be short-circuited. Therefore, there is a high need for a function to prevent overcurrent from flowing through the ground line G.
- the switching performed by the switching circuit 33 does not use a processing element that executes processing according to a program.
- the switching circuit 33 is configured by hardware. Therefore, the period from when the voltage of the ground line G with the potential of the ground terminal 31 as a reference potential rises to a value equal to or higher than the reference voltage until the connection switch 36 is switched from on to off is short.
- the load 22 is arranged outside the switch device 11 .
- the place where the load 22 is arranged is not limited to the outside of the switch device 11 .
- switch device 11 may have load 22 .
- the load 22 is arranged, for example, on the wide surface of the device board Bs of the switch device 11 .
- the power supply switch 43 of the switch device 11 is a switch that can be switched by the drive circuit 44 . Therefore, the power supply switch 43 is not limited to an N-channel FET, and may be a P-channel FET, a bipolar transistor, a relay contact, or the like. Also, if the device connected to the electric device 10 is a device that operates according to the output voltage of the microcomputer 35, there is no problem. Therefore, the device connected to the electrical device 10 is not limited to the switch device 11. FIG.

Abstract
Description
本出願は、2022年1月12日出願の日本出願第2022-003272号に基づく優先権を主張し、前記日本出願に記載された全ての記載内容を援用するものである。
特許文献1に関して、グランド線に車両のバッテリの正極が接続される天絡が発生した場合、グランド線から電気機器に過電流が流れ込む可能性がある。過電流が電気機器内を流れた場合、電気機器内の部品が故障する可能性がある。
上記の態様によれば、導線を介した過電流の流入を防止することができる。
最初に本開示の実施態様を列挙して説明する。以下に記載する実施形態の少なくとも一部を任意に組み合わせてもよい。
本開示の実施形態に係る車載システムの具体例を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本開示はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
図1は、実施形態1における車載システム1の要部構成を示すブロック図である。車載システム1は、車両Cに搭載されている。車両Cには、更に、直流電源20、電源スイッチ21及び負荷22が搭載されている。車載システム1は、電気機器10及びスイッチ装置11を有する。直流電源20は、例えばバッテリである。電源スイッチ21は、例えば、イグニッション電源又はアクセサリー電源がオンに切替わった場合にオンに切替わる。この構成では、電源スイッチ21は、イグニッション電源又はアクセサリー電源がオフに切替わった場合にオフに切替わる。
電気機器10は、電源端子30、接地端子31及び機器コネクタ32に加えて、切替え回路33、レギュレータ34及びマイクロコンピュータ(以下、マイコンという)35、及び接続スイッチ36を有する。切替え回路33は、回路スイッチ50、第1回路抵抗51及び第2回路抵抗52を有する。接続スイッチ36及び回路スイッチ50は、NPN型のバイポーラトランジスタである。
前述したように、切替え回路33は、接地端子31の電位を基準電位とした接地線Gの電圧が基準電圧以上の値に上昇した場合、接続スイッチ36をオンからオフに切替える。従って、接地線Gの天絡が発生した場合、接続スイッチ36がオンからオフに切替わり、接地線Gを介した電気機器10への過電流の流入が防止される。機器基板Bmが接地線Gによってスイッチ装置11の装置基板Bsに接続されているので、接地線Gの天絡が発生する可能性が高い。このため、接地線Gを介した過電流の流入を防止する機能の必要性が高い。
実施形態1では、負荷22はスイッチ装置11の外側に配置されている。しかしながら、負荷22が配置される場所は、スイッチ装置11の外側に限定されない。例えば、スイッチ装置11が負荷22を有してもよい。この場合、負荷22は、例えば、スイッチ装置11の装置基板Bsの幅広面に配置される。
実施形態1における電気機器10は、信号線Fを介して電圧をスイッチ装置11に出力している。しかしながら、電気機器10が行う動作は電圧の出力に限定されない。
以下では、実施形態2について、実施形態1と異なる点を説明する。後述する構成を除く他の構成については、実施形態1と共通している。このため、実施形態1と共通する構成部には実施形態1と同一の参照符号を付し、その構成部の説明を省略する。
図4は、実施形態2における車載システム1の要部構成を示すブロック図である。実施形態2を実施形態1と比較した場合、電気機器10に接続される装置が異なる。実施形態2における車載システム1は、スイッチ装置11の代わりに温度検出装置12を有する。温度検出装置12は車両Cに搭載されている。温度検出装置12は、第2の装置コネクタ60を有する。実施形態2では、温度検出装置12が外部機器及び第2の電気機器として機能する。
電気機器10では、電源端子30と、切替え回路33の第1回路抵抗51との間の接続ノードは機器コネクタ32に接続されている。この接続ノードは、機器コネクタ32を介して電圧線Hに接続される。
実施形態2における電気機器10は、実施形態1における電気機器10が奏する効果を同様に奏する。
実施形態2では、固定抵抗61及びサーミスタ62が接続される場所を入れ替えてもよい。この場合、固定抵抗61の一端は接地線Gに接続される。サーミスタ62の他端は電圧線Hに接続される。固定抵抗61及びサーミスタ62が接続される場所が入れ替わった場合、分圧電圧は、サーミスタ62の抵抗値が大きい程、低い。
実施形態1,2では、接続スイッチ36は、NPN型のバイポーラトランジスタに限定されず、Nチャネル型のFET又はIGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)等であってもよい。同様に、回路スイッチ50は、NPN型のバイポーラトランジスタに限定されず、Nチャネル型のFET又はIGBT等であってもよい。電気機器10の電源端子30は、直流電源20の正極に直接に接続されてもよい。
開示された実施の形態1,2はすべての点で例示であって、制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は、上記した意味ではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
