- the process shown in FIG. 4 is terminated. In this way, the high-voltage load 12 and the low-voltage load 13 are supplied with power while the vehicle is running.
- step S6 the control unit 23 determines whether or not it is possible and necessary to supply power to the low-voltage load 13 via the second voltage conversion unit 22. Specifically, the control unit 23 determines whether or not a signal requesting power supply to the second low-voltage load 13B has been input from the external ECU.
- step S6 determines in step S6 that it is possible and necessary to supply power to the low-voltage load 13 via the second voltage conversion unit 22 (i.e., a signal requesting power supply to the second low-voltage load 13B has been input from the external ECU) (Yes in step S6)

Then, the process proceeds to step S10, where the control unit 23 stops the operation of the second voltage conversion unit 22 and ends the process shown in FIG. 4. At this time, since both the first relay 20 and the second relay 24 are turned off, the voltage of the high-voltage battery 10 is not exposed to the outside of the battery case 30.

前記リレー及び前記第2電圧変換部は、前記バッテリケース内に設けられている、(1)又は(2)に記載の車載用制御装置。
以下、本開示を具体化した実施形態1について説明する。
図1に示す車載システム100は、車両に搭載される電源システムである。車載システム100は、高圧用の高圧バッテリ10と、高圧バッテリ10を収容するバッテリケース30と、高圧負荷12と、低圧バッテリ11と、低圧負荷13と、を備える。高圧負荷12は、高圧バッテリ10から供給される電力によって動作する。低圧バッテリ11は、高圧バッテリ10の出力電圧よりも低い電圧を出力する。本開示の車載用制御装置1は、車載システム100に用いられる。車載用制御装置1は、リレーである第1リレー20、リレーである第2リレー24、第1電圧変換部21、第2電圧変換部22、及び制御部23を有している。
高圧バッテリ10は、例えば、リチウムイオン電池又はニッケル水素電池等の単電池を複数直列に組み合わせて構成される組電池であり、例えば400V程度の出力電圧を出力する。高圧バッテリ10は、バッテリケース30に収容されている。バッテリケース30は、高圧バッテリ10の全体を覆うように構成されている。バッテリケース30には、第1端子30Aと、第2端子30Bと、が設けられている。高圧バッテリ10の高電圧側の端子には、第1導電路16が電気的に接続されている。
第1リレー20は、所謂、システムメインリレー(SMR)である。第1リレー20は、後述する制御部23によってその動作が制御される構成とされている。第1リレー20は、制御部23によって、オン状態と、オフ状態とに切り替えられる。第1リレー20がオン状態のときには、第1リレー20を介して第1導電路16と第2導電路17とが導通する。これにより、第1導電路16を介して印加された高圧バッテリ10の電圧は、そのまま第2導電路17に付与される。第1リレー20がオフ状態のときには、第1導電路16と第2導電路17とが遮断される。このとき、第1導電路16を介して印加された高圧バッテリ10の電圧は、第2導電路17に付与されない。第1リレー20は、バッテリケース30内に設けられている。第2導電路17には、高圧負荷12が電気的に接続されている。
次に、制御部23によって実行される制御の一例について、図4等を参照しつつ説明する。
車載用制御装置1は、高圧バッテリ10と、高圧負荷12と、低圧負荷13と、を備える車載システム100に用いられる。車載用制御装置1は、第1リレー20と、第1電圧変換部21と、第2電圧変換部22と、制御部23と、を備えている。第1リレー20は、高圧バッテリ10と高圧負荷12との間に設けられる。第1電圧変換部21は、第1リレー20と低圧負荷13との間に設けられる。第2電圧変換部22は、第1リレー20及び第1電圧変換部21に対して並列に設けられる。制御部23は、第1リレー20、第1電圧変換部21、及び第2電圧変換部22を制御する。第1電圧変換部21は、高圧バッテリ10側から第1リレー20を介して入力される電圧を高圧バッテリ10からの出力電圧よりも低い低電圧に変換して低圧負荷13側に出力する第1変換動作を行う。第2電圧変換部22は、高圧バッテリ10側から入力される電圧を低電圧に変換して低圧負荷13側に出力する第2変換動作を行う。制御部23は、車両の走行中において第1リレー20をオン状態に制御しつつ第1電圧変換部21に第1変換動作を行わせ、車両の駐車中において第2電圧変換部22に第2変換動作を行わせる。
図5に示すように、実施形態2の車載用制御装置2は、第2リレーを備えない点、第2電圧変換部22がバッテリケース30に設けられている点等が実施形態1とは異なり、その他の点で共通する。実施形態2では、実施形態1と同じ構成については同じ符号を付し、詳しい説明を省略する。車載システム200は、車両に搭載される電源システムである。
次に、制御部23によって実行される制御の一例について、図6等を参照しつつ説明する。
今回開示された実施の形態は全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、今回開示された実施の形態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及び範囲内での全ての変更が含まれることが意図される。
