Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-082650

  As described above, by cooling the battery before charging the battery using the external power supply, the battery can be efficiently charged with the power from the external power supply. However, in the conventional vehicle described above, a part of the battery power is consumed by the air conditioner when the pre-charging cooling control is executed, and accordingly, the required charging time required for charging the battery with the power from the external power source is accordingly increased. become longer. For this reason, in the said vehicle, there exists a possibility that the charge of the battery using an external power supply may not be completed by the next departure time of a vehicle.

  Accordingly, the main object of the present disclosure is to complete the charging of the power storage device by the departure time of the vehicle while ensuring the efficiency of charging the power storage device with the electric power from the external power source.

  The vehicle of the present disclosure includes an electric motor that outputs driving power, an electric storage device that supplies electric power to the electric motor and can be charged by electric power from an external power source, and uses the electric power from the electric storage device to store the electric storage device. In a vehicle including a cooling device that cools and a control device that operates the cooling device so that the power storage device is cooled when the power storage device is charged with electric power from the external power source, the control device is configured by the user. While accepting the setting of the departure time of the vehicle, the cooling time of the power storage device is set from the departure time set by the user and the required charging time required for charging the power storage device, and the power from the external power source is used. When charging the power storage device, the cooling device is operated for a set cooling time.

  In this vehicle, the user is allowed to set the departure time of the vehicle, and the cooling time of the power storage device is set from the departure time set by the user and the required charging time required for charging the power storage device. The cooling device is operated for a set cooling time when the power storage device is charged with electric power from the external power source. Thereby, since the time when the power of the power storage device is used by the cooling device, that is, the cooling time can be appropriately set according to the departure time, while ensuring the efficiency of charging the power storage device with the power from the external power source, It becomes possible to complete the charging of the power storage device by the departure time of the vehicle.

  Further, the control device may operate the cooling device for a set cooling time while keeping the SOC of the power storage device constant from the start of charging of the power storage device with electric power from an external power source. This makes it possible to set the required charging time based on a predetermined difference between the SOC at the time of full charge and the SOC at the start of charging, and the cooling time can be easily set based on the departure time and the required charging time. It can be set appropriately. Furthermore, when the time until the departure time is longer than the sum of the required charging time and the predetermined maximum time of cooling (maximum cooling time), the control device can charge the power storage device with electric power from an external power source. When the cooling device is operated for the maximum time from the start and the time to the departure time is less than or equal to the sum of the required charging time and the maximum time, the time from the start of charging the power storage device by the power from the external power source to the departure time The cooling device may be operated by the difference between the charging time and the charging time.

  The ECU 80 is a microcomputer including a CPU (not shown) and is connected to other electronic control devices and various sensors via a network (CAN). The ECU 80 receives a signal from another electronic control device or the like, controls the running of the hybrid vehicle 1 based on the input signal or the like, controls the charging of the power storage device 4 using the power conversion device 70, that is, the external power source 100, and cools Control of the entire vehicle such as control of the fan 95 is executed.

  Further, the ECU 80 controls opening / closing of the positive and negative system main relays SMRB and SMRG and the positive and negative charge relays CHRB and CHRG. When the positive and negative system main relays SMRB and SMRG are closed (ON) by the ECU 80, the power storage device 4 and the PCU 5 are connected, and when both the relays SMRB and SMRG are opened (OFF) by the ECU 80, the power is stored. The connection between the device 4 and the PCU 5 is released (cut off). When the positive and negative charge relays CHRB and CHRG are closed (turned on) by ECU 80, power storage device 4 and power conversion device 70 are connected, and both relays CHRB and CHRG are opened (turned off) by ECU 80. The connection between the power storage device 4 and the power conversion device 70 is released (cut off).

  The ECU 80 also has a start time setting unit 81 for setting a start time for charging the power storage device 4 using the external power source 100 and a departure time for setting the departure time (scheduled departure time) of the hybrid vehicle 1. A setting unit 82 is connected. The start time setting unit 81 and the departure time setting unit 82 are both operated by a user such as a driver, and are displayed on a touch panel type liquid crystal monitor (not shown) installed on the instrument panel. It may be an input operation unit installed around the instrument panel or the steering column. In addition, ECU 80 has a timer (counter) 85 for starting charging of power storage device 4 using external power supply 100 at a time corresponding to a start time set by the user or a departure time set by the user. .

  Next, a procedure for charging the power storage device 4 with electric power from the external power supply 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

  2 and 3 are flowcharts showing an example of an external charging control routine executed by the ECU 80 of the hybrid vehicle 1. When the start switch 88 of the hybrid vehicle 1 is turned off and the positive side and negative side system main relays SMRB and SMRG are opened (off), the ECU 80 starts the execution of the external charging control routine of FIG. Needless to say, even after the start switch 88 is turned off, electric power is supplied from an auxiliary battery (not shown) to the ECU 80 or the like as needed. When starting the external charging control routine, the ECU 80 first inputs the temperature TB of the power storage device 4 detected by the temperature sensor 43 (step S100), and the temperature TB is a predetermined reference temperature Tref (for example, about 35 °). It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S110). When it is determined that the temperature TB is equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tref, the ECU 80 displays a cooling consent selection screen on the above-described liquid crystal monitor (step S120).

  The cooling consent selection screen is for inquiring a user such as a driver whether or not to agree to the cooling of the power storage device 4 when charging the power storage device 4 using the external power supply 100. It is possible to select whether to permit cooling of the power storage device 4 by touching the monitor. After displaying the cooling consent selection screen on the liquid crystal monitor, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the user has performed an operation for selecting whether to permit cooling of the power storage device 4 (step S130), and determines that the user has performed the selection operation. If so, it is further determined whether or not the user has agreed to cool the power storage device 4 (step S140).

  When the ECU 80 determines that the user has agreed to cool the power storage device 4, the ECU 80 sets the cooling consent flag Fag to a value 1 (step S150), and when the user determines that the user does not agree to cool the power storage device 4, The cooling consent flag Fag is set to 0 (step S155). When ECU 80 determines in step S110 that temperature TB of power storage device 4 is lower than reference temperature Tref, and in step S130, the user selects whether to permit cooling of power storage device 4 within a predetermined time. If it is determined that there is not, the cooling consent flag Fag is held at the value set immediately before (step S157).

  After the process of step S150, S155 or S157, the ECU 80 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) (step S160), and then the power feeding connector 110 of the charging cable 105 is coupled to the power receiving connector 60. It is determined whether or not (step S170). If it is determined in step S170 that the power feeding connector 110 is not coupled to the power receiving connector 60, the ECU 80 ends this routine without executing the subsequent processing. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S170 that the power feeding connector 110 is coupled to the power receiving connector 60, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the charging start time or departure time of the power storage device 4 is set by the user. Determination is made (step S180).

  When it is determined in step S180 that the charging start time or departure time of the power storage device 4 is set by the user, the ECU 80 determines which of the charging start time and departure time is set (step S180). S190). If it is determined in step S190 that the charging start time of the power storage device 4 has been set by the user, the ECU 80 activates the timer 85 and waits until the starting time set by the user arrives (step S190). S200). If both the start time and the departure time of charging of power storage device 4 are set by the user, it is determined in step S190 that the departure time is set, and the subsequent processing is executed. Good.

  When the start time set by the user arrives, the ECU 80 inputs the temperature TB of the power storage device 4 and the value of the cooling consent flag Fag (step S210). If it is determined in step S180 that both the charging start time and the departure time of power storage device 4 are not set by the user, ECU 80 skips steps S190 and S200, and power storage device in step S210. The temperature TB of 4 and the value of the cooling consent flag Fag are input. Then, ECU 80 determines whether or not to cool power storage device 4 based on the input temperature TB and the value of cooling consent flag Fag (step S220). In step S220, when the temperature TB is equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tref and the cooling consent flag Fag is a value 1, it is determined that the power storage device 4 should be cooled.

  If it is determined in step S220 that cooling of power storage device 4 is to be performed, ECU 80 closes positive electrode side and negative electrode side charging relays CHRB and CHRG and charges power storage device 4 with power from external power supply 100. The power conversion device 70 is controlled as described above, and at the same time, a command signal is given to the control device of the air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95 is operated to execute the cooling operation (step S230). Thereby, simultaneously with the start of charging of the power storage device 4 by the power from the external power supply 100, the cooling of the power storage device 4 by the cold air from the air conditioner 90 that is cooled using the power from the power storage device 4 is started. The

  In this embodiment, when it is determined in step S220 that cooling of the power storage device 4 is to be performed, the power storage is performed for a predetermined maximum cooling time trmax (for example, about 30 minutes) from the start of charging of the power storage device 4. Cooling of the device 4 is performed. Further, in step S230, the ECU 80 converts the power so that the SOC of the power storage device 4 is maintained substantially constant (so as not to change) while considering the power of the power storage device 4 consumed by the air conditioning device 90. The apparatus 70 is controlled. Thereby, while charging and cooling of power storage device 4 are performed simultaneously, the SOC of power storage device 4 is generally maintained at the value before the start of charging.

  After the process of step S230, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the maximum cooling time trmax has elapsed since the start of charging of the power storage device 4 (step S240), and the power storage device 4 after the maximum cooling time trmax has elapsed since the start of charging. The process of step S230 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the cooling is to be stopped. If it is determined that the maximum cooling time trmax has elapsed since the start of charging, the ECU 80 instructs the control device of the air conditioner 90 to stop the cooling operation while charging (continuing) the power storage device 4. A signal is given and the cooling fan 95 is stopped (step S250). Furthermore, ECU 80 determines whether or not the separately calculated SOC of power storage device 4 has reached a predetermined target SOC (for example, 70 to 80%) at the time of full charge and charging of power storage device 4 has been completed ( In step S260, the power storage device 4 is charged until the SOC reaches the target SOC (step S250). When ECU 80 determines in step S260 that the SOC has reached the target SOC, ECU 80 stops charging power storage device 4 (step S270) and ends this routine.

  If it is determined in step S220 that the power storage device 4 should not be cooled, the ECU 80 activates the positive and negative charge relays CHRB and CHRG without operating the air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95. The power conversion device 70 is controlled so that the power storage device 4 is charged by the power from the external power source 100 while being closed, and the power storage device 4 is charged (step S280). Further, ECU 80 determines whether or not the SOC of power storage device 4 has reached the target SOC and charging of power storage device 4 has been completed (step S290), and determines that the SOC has reached the target SOC. Charging is stopped (step S270), and this routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S190 that the departure time is set by the user, the ECU 80 calculates the time td from the departure time set by the user and the current time to the departure time, and the separately calculated power storage. Based on the difference between the SOC of the device 4 and the target SOC, a required charging time tc, which is a time required to bring the power storage device 4 to a fully charged state, is calculated (step S300). Next, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the time td until the departure time is longer than the required charging time tc (step S310), and determines that the time td until the departure time is longer than the required charging time tc. The temperature TB of the apparatus 4 and the value of the cooling consent flag Fag are input (step S320). Further, ECU 80 determines whether or not to cool power storage device 4 based on the input temperature TB and the value of cooling consent flag Fag (step S330). Also in step S330, when the temperature TB is equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tref and the cooling consent flag Fag is a value 1, it is determined that the power storage device 4 should be cooled.

  If it is determined in step S330 that the power storage device 4 should be cooled, the ECU 80 determines whether the time td until the departure time is longer than the sum of the required charging time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax. (Step S340). When it is determined in step S340 that the time td until the departure time is longer than the sum of the required charging time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax, the ECU 80 starts the timer 85 and charges from the time td until the departure time. It waits until the time which reduced the required time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax passes (step S350), and sets the maximum cooling time trmax to the cooling time tr of the electrical storage apparatus 4 (step S360). If it is determined in step S340 that the time td until the departure time is equal to or less than the sum of the required charging time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax, the ECU 80 determines the difference between the time td until the departure time and the required charging time tc. (Td-tc) is set to the cooling time tr of the power storage device 4 (step S370).

  After the process of step S360 or S370, the ECU 80 controls the power conversion device 70 so that the positive and negative charge relays CHRB and CHRG are closed and the power storage device 4 is charged by the electric power from the external power supply 100. At the same time, a command signal is given to the control device of the air conditioner 90 so as to execute the cooling operation, and the cooling fan 95 is operated (step S380). Thus, simultaneously with the start of charging of power storage device 4 with the electric power from external power supply 100, cooling of power storage device 4 with the cold air from air conditioning device 90 is started. Also in step S380, the ECU 80 considers the power of the power storage device 4 consumed by the air conditioning device 90, and keeps the SOC of the power storage device 4 substantially constant (so as not to change). The conversion device 70 is controlled.

  After the process of step S380, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the cooling time tr set in step S360 or S370 has elapsed since the start of charging of the power storage device 4 (step S390). Until it is determined that the cooling of the power storage device 4 should be stopped, the process of step S380 is repeatedly executed. If it is determined that the cooling time tr has elapsed from the start of charging, the ECU 80 performs (continues) charging of the power storage device 4 and stops the cooling operation in step S250. A command signal is given to the control device and the cooling fan 95 is stopped. Further, ECU 80 determines whether or not the SOC of power storage device 4 has reached the target SOC and charging of power storage device 4 has been completed (step S260), and charging of power storage device 4 is continued until the SOC reaches the target SOC. This is executed (step S250). When ECU 80 determines in step S260 that the SOC has reached the target SOC, ECU 80 stops charging power storage device 4 (step S270) and ends this routine.

  If it is determined in step S330 that the power storage device 4 should not be cooled, the ECU 80 starts the timer 85 and then the time obtained by subtracting the required charging time tc from the time td until the departure time has elapsed. (Step S400). Further, in step S280, the ECU 80 closes the positive and negative charge relays CHRB and CHRG without operating the air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95, and uses the electric power from the external power supply 100 to store the power storage device 4. Is controlled such that the power storage device 4 is charged. Then, ECU 80 determines whether or not charging of power storage device 4 has been completed by reaching the target SOC of power storage device 4 (step S290), and when it is determined that SOC has reached the target SOC, charging of power storage device 4 is performed. Is stopped (step S270), and this routine is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S310 that the time td until the departure time is equal to or less than the required charging time tc, the ECU 80 does not operate the air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95 from that point in time, so The side charging relays CHRB and CHRG are closed, and the power conversion device 70 is controlled so that the power storage device 4 is charged by the power from the external power supply 100, and the power storage device 4 is charged (step S280). In this case, the ECU 80 causes the power storage device 4 to be charged until the SOC reaches the target SOC unless the user disconnects the power supply connector 110 of the charging cable 105 from the power receiving connector 60 and stops charging (steps S290 and S270). ).

  As described above, in hybrid vehicle 1, the user is allowed to set the departure time of hybrid vehicle 1, and based on the departure time set by the user and the required charging time tc required for charging power storage device 4. Cooling time tr of power storage device 4 is set (steps S360 and S370 in FIG. 3). The air conditioner 90 as a cooling device that cools the power storage device 4 using the power from the power storage device 4 cools the power storage device 4 with power from the external power supply 100 for a set cooling time tr. It is operated together with the fan 95 (steps S380 and S390 in FIG. 3).

  That is, when the time td until the departure time is longer than the sum of the required charging time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax, the maximum cooling time trmax is set as the cooling time tr, and the power storage device 4 is powered by the electric power from the external power supply 100. The air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95 are operated for the maximum cooling time trmax from the start of charging (steps S360, S380, and S390 in FIG. 3). Further, when the time td until the departure time is equal to or less than the sum of the required charging time tc and the maximum cooling time trmax, the difference (td−tc) between the time until the starting time td and the required charging time tc is the cooling time tr. The air conditioner 90 and the cooling fan 95 are activated for the time td-tc from the start of charging of the power storage device 4 with electric power from the external power supply 100 (steps S370, S380, S390 in FIG. 3).

  Accordingly, the time during which the electric power of the power storage device 4 is used by the air conditioner 90 as a cooling device, that is, the cooling time tr can be appropriately set according to the departure time, and thus the power storage device 4 using the external power source 100. It is possible to complete the charging of the power storage device 4 by the departure time of the hybrid vehicle 1 while ensuring the efficiency of charging. In addition, the ECU 80 keeps the SOC of the power storage device 4 constant from the start of charging of the power storage device 4 with the electric power from the external power supply 100, and keeps the air conditioner 90 (and as a cooling device) for the set cooling time tr. The cooling fan 95) is activated. This makes it possible to set the required charging time tc based on the difference between the predetermined target SOC at the time of full charge and the SOC at the start of charging, and the cooling time based on the departure time and the required charging time tc. tr can be set easily and appropriately.

  As described above, the hybrid vehicle 1 of the present disclosure includes the motor MG2 that outputs driving power, the power storage device 4 that supplies power to the motor MG2 and the like and can be charged by the power from the external power source 100, and the power storage. Air conditioning device 90 as a cooling device that cools power storage device 4 using power from device 4 and air conditioning so that power storage device 4 is cooled when power storage device 4 is charged with power from external power supply 100. And an ECU 80 for operating the device 90 and the cooling fan 95. ECU 80 accepts the setting of the departure time of the vehicle by the user, and sets cooling time tr of power storage device 4 from the departure time set by the user and the required charging time tc required for charging power storage device 4. When charging power storage device 4 with electric power from external power supply 100, air conditioner 90 and cooling fan 95 are operated for the set cooling time tr (steps S340 to S390 in FIG. 3). Thus, charging of power storage device 4 can be completed by the departure time of hybrid vehicle 1 while ensuring the efficiency of charging power storage device 4 using external power supply 100.

  The hybrid vehicle 1 is a so-called two-motor hybrid vehicle, but it goes without saying that the invention of the present disclosure can be applied to a one-motor hybrid vehicle, a series hybrid vehicle, and an electric vehicle.
