Description
Véhicule automobile électrique ou partiellement électrique et infrastructure de recharge associée pour le positionnement automatique du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure et procédé associé Electric or partially electric motor vehicle and associated charging infrastructure for automatic positioning of the vehicle with respect to the associated infrastructure and method
[001]. La présente invention concerne un véhicule automobile électrique ou partiellement électrique et une infrastructure de recharge permettant le positionnement automatique du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure ainsi que le procédé d'utilisation de ces éléments associé. Par véhicule partiellement électrique, on entend un véhicule hybride combinant l'utilisation d'un moteur thermique et d'une machine électrique.[001]. The present invention relates to an electric or partially electric motor vehicle and charging infrastructure for the automatic positioning of the vehicle with respect to the infrastructure and the method of use of these elements associated. By partially electric vehicle is meant a hybrid vehicle combining the use of a heat engine and an electric machine.
[002]. La présente invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse dans le domaine des véhicules à traction électrique ou partiellement électrique comportant des dispositifs de stockage d'énergie susceptibles d'être rechargés à partir du réseau de distribution électrique de type domestique ou industriel.[002]. The present invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the field of electric or partially electric traction vehicles comprising energy storage devices that can be recharged from the electrical distribution network of domestic or industrial type.
[003]. L'état de l'art enseigne des véhicules dotés d'une chaîne de traction électrique ou partiellement électrique comportant une machine électrique apte à assurer la traction du véhicule. Les dispositifs de stockage électriques liés à cette chaîne de traction, tels que batteries électrochimiques, ou supercondensateurs, sont susceptibles d'être rechargés à partir d'un réseau d'alimentation électrique.[003]. The state of the art teaches vehicles equipped with an electric or partially electric traction chain comprising an electric machine capable of ensuring the traction of the vehicle. The electrical storage devices related to this power train, such as electrochemical batteries, or supercapacitors, are likely to be recharged from a power supply network.
[004]. Le rechargement électrique de véhicules de type « plug in » s'effectue au moyen d'une connexion électrique à une infrastructure de recharge reliée au réseau de distribution. Cette connexion électrique fait appel à une prise électrique, située à l'extrémité d'un câblage, que l'utilisateur branche pour recharger le véhicule, et débranche lorsque la charge est achevée.[004]. Electric plug-in vehicle charging is done by means of an electrical connection to a charging infrastructure connected to the distribution network. This electrical connection uses an electrical outlet, located at the end of a wiring, that the user plugs to charge the vehicle, and disconnects when the load is completed.
[005]. Par ailleurs, l'état de l'art enseigne des dispositifs d'aide au pilotage, destinés à assister le conducteur dans l'accomplissement de manœuvres délicates ; ainsi, un dispositif connu dans l'état de l'art permet au véhicule d'effectuer une manœuvre de stationnement dite en créneau, en contrôlant le braquage des roues ainsi que l'entraînement du véhicule ; la synchronisation précise de ces contrôles permet au véhicule de parcourir une trajectoire déterminée au préalable, qui l'amène à son emplacement de stationnement.[005]. In addition, the state of the art teaches piloting assistance devices, intended to assist the driver in the performance of delicate maneuvers; thus, a device known in the state of the art allows the vehicle to perform a so-called parking maneuver in controlling the steering of the wheels and the driving of the vehicle; the precise timing of these controls allows the vehicle to travel a predetermined path, which leads to its parking location.
[006]. Les véhicules pouvant être rechargés électriquement depuis une infrastructure de recharge nécessitent, de la part de leur utilisateur, des recharges régulières du fait d'une autonomie limitée. A chaque opération de rechargement, l'utilisateur doit effectuer une opération répétitive de positionnement du véhicule à proximité de l'infrastructure, de branchement d'un câble du véhicule à l'infrastructure de recharge, puis de débranchement électrique. Ces opérations sont fastidieuses, et l'oubli de l'une d'entre elles peut avoir pour conséquence une impossibilité d'utiliser le véhicule, les batteries n'ayant pas été convenablement rechargées.[006]. Vehicles that can be recharged electrically from a charging infrastructure require, from their user, regular refills due to a limited autonomy. At each reloading operation, the user must perform a repetitive positioning operation of the vehicle near the infrastructure, connecting a vehicle cable to the charging infrastructure, and then disconnecting electricity. These operations are tedious, and forgetting one of them may result in an inability to use the vehicle, the batteries have not been properly recharged.
[007]. De plus, la présence d'un câble de rechargement suscite un risque mécanique et électrique certain pour les personnes situées à proximité. En effet, la présence d'un câble dans un lieu de passage entraîne des risques de chute, et des possibilités d'électrisation résultent de toute détérioration mécanique ou mauvaise manipulation du câblage et des prises.[007]. In addition, the presence of a charging cable creates a mechanical and electrical risk for people in the vicinity. Indeed, the presence of a cable in a place of passage entails risks of falling, and possibilities of electrization result from any mechanical deterioration or bad handling of the wiring and the sockets.

[009]. L'invention comble ce besoin en proposant un véhicule équipé d'un dispositif de positionnement permettant de calculer une trajectoire pour passer d'une position initiale éloignée d'une infrastructure de recharge ne permettant pas d'effectuer la recharge du véhicule à une position finale permettant d'effectuer la recharge du véhicule et des moyens pour commander les différents organes du véhicule de manière à le faire suivre la trajectoire calculée.[009]. The invention fills this need by proposing a vehicle equipped with a positioning device for calculating a trajectory to pass from an initial position remote from a charging infrastructure that does not allow charging the vehicle to an end position. allowing the vehicle to be recharged and means for controlling the various components of the vehicle so as to follow the calculated trajectory.
[010]. Le calcul de la position du véhicule tout au long de la trajectoire est effectué à partir d'un échange de signaux entre des transducteurs installés sur le véhicule et une balise de repérage montée sur l'infrastructure de recharge.[010]. The calculation of the position of the vehicle along the trajectory is made from an exchange of signals between transducers installed on the vehicle and a tracking beacon mounted on the infrastructure of the vehicle. refill.
[011]. Par ailleurs, l'invention fait de préférence appel à des connecteurs ou des moyens de transfert d'énergie sans fil, tels que des moitiés de transformateur électromagnétique, installés sur le véhicule et l'architecture de recharge, qui permettent d'éviter d'avoir recours à des câbles électriques.[011]. Moreover, the invention preferably uses wireless power transfer connectors or means, such as electromagnetic transformer halves, installed on the vehicle and the charging architecture, which make it possible to avoid use electrical cables.

- communiquer au dispositif de contrôle la position mesurée,- communicate to the control device the measured position,
- calculer, au moyen du dispositif de contrôle, une trajectoire permettant de passer de la position initiale jusqu'à une position finale autorisant un transfert énergétique de l'infrastructure de recharge vers le dispositif de stockage, et - commander, au moyen du dispositif de contrôle, des organes du véhicule de façon à déplacer le véhicule selon la trajectoire calculée jusqu'à la position finale.calculating, by means of the control device, a path for moving from the initial position to a final position allowing an energy transfer from the charging infrastructure to the storage device, and controlling, by means of the device of control of the vehicle members so as to move the vehicle along the calculated path to the final position.
[023]. Selon une mise en œuvre, tout au long du déplacement du véhicule, le dispositif de mesure évalue la position du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure de recharge et la transmet au dispositif de positionnement qui corrige la trajectoire en fonction de ces informations de position par asservissement.[023]. According to one implementation, throughout the movement of the vehicle, the measuring device evaluates the position of the vehicle with respect to the charging infrastructure and transmits it to the positioning device which corrects the trajectory according to this position information by servo.
[024]. Selon une mise en œuvre, la position finale est enregistrée au préalable dans une mémoire du dispositif de contrôle ou est transmise par l'infrastructure de recharge au dispositif de contrôle au moyen par exemple d'une communication radiofréquence.[024]. According to one implementation, the final position is recorded beforehand in a memory of the control device or is transmitted by the charging infrastructure to the control device by means for example of a radiofrequency communication.
[025]. Selon une mise en œuvre, il est mis en œuvre lorsque le conducteur du véhicule active le dispositif de contrôle par exemple au moyen d'un contacteur électrique du tableau de bord du véhicule.[025]. According to one implementation, it is implemented when the driver of the vehicle activates the control device for example by means of an electric switch of the vehicle dashboard.
[026]. Selon une mise en œuvre, tout au long de la mise en œuvre, le conducteur garde le contrôle du véhicule au moyen du volant de direction et de la pédale de frein et peut stopper à tout instant le véhicule si le mouvement de ce dernier constitue un danger pour son environnement.[026]. According to one implementation, throughout the implementation, the driver keeps control of the vehicle by means of the steering wheel and the brake pedal and can stop the vehicle at any time if the movement of the latter is a problem. danger for its environment.

Ces figures ne sont données qu'à titre illustratif mais nullement limitatif de l'invention. Elles montrent :[027]. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows and on examining the figures which accompany it. These figures are not data as illustrative but not limiting of the invention. They show :

Figures 2a-2b: representations of the movement of the vehicle from an initial position to a final position for recharging the vehicle during the implementation of the method according to the invention.
[030]. Les éléments identiques conservent la même référence d'une figure à l'autre.[030]. Identical elements retain the same reference from one figure to another.
[031]. La Figure 1 montre un véhicule 1 hybride selon l'invention comportant une chaîne 3 de traction thermique assurant la traction thermique des roues avant 4 du véhicule, et une chaîne 5 de traction électrique assurant la traction électrique des roues arrière 6 du véhicule.[031]. Figure 1 shows a hybrid vehicle 1 according to the invention comprising a chain 3 of thermal traction ensuring the thermal traction of the front wheels 4 of the vehicle, and an electric traction chain 5 ensuring the electric traction of the rear wheels 6 of the vehicle.
[032]. La chaîne 3 de traction thermique est formée par un moteur 7 thermique, au moins une boîte 8 de vitesses connectée aux roues 4 et un embrayage 11 relié d'une part au moteur 7 thermique et d'autre part à la boîte 8 de vitesses.[032]. The chain 3 of thermal traction is formed by a thermal motor 7, at least one gearbox 8 connected to the wheels 4 and a clutch 11 connected on the one hand to the engine 7 thermal and the other to the gearbox 8.
[033]. La chaîne 5 de traction électrique est formée par au moins une machine 10 électrique en relation avec un dispositif 12 de stockage d'énergie par l'intermédiaire d'un élément 13 convertisseur, de sorte que la machine 10 peut prélever de l'énergie du dispositif 12 de stockage pour fonctionner en mode moteur dans des phases de traction, ou transmettre de l'énergie au dispositif 12 de stockage lorsqu'elle fonctionne en mode générateur notamment lors des phases de freinage pendant lesquelles on récupère l'énergie cinétique du véhicule pour la transformer en énergie électrique et la stocker dans le dispositif 12 de stockage.[033]. The electric traction chain 5 is formed by at least one electric machine 10 in connection with a device 12 for storing energy via a converter element 13, so that the machine 10 can take energy from the storage device 12 for operating in motor mode in traction phases, or transmitting energy to the storage device 12 when it operates in generator mode, in particular during the braking phases during which the kinetic energy of the vehicle is recovered for transform it into electrical energy and store it in the storage device 12.
[034]. Le véhicule 1 comporte également un système 15 d'assistance de la direction du véhicule apte à commander la direction des roues du véhicule, et des freins 17 installés sur chaque roue aptes à exercer un effort de freinage sur les roues 4, 6 du véhicule.[034]. The vehicle 1 also comprises a system for assisting the steering of the vehicle capable of controlling the direction of the wheels of the vehicle, and brakes 17 installed on each wheel capable of exerting a braking force on the wheels 4, 6 of the vehicle.
[035]. Par ailleurs, une infrastructure 18 de recharge permettant de recharger le dispositif 12 de stockage comporte un dispositif 21 électrique apte à transmettre de l'énergie à un dispositif 23 électrique embarqué sur le véhicule. Le dispositif 23 est apte à recevoir l'énergie transmise par l'infrastructure 18 et à la transmettre au dispositif 12 de stockage. Le transfert d'énergie s'effectue lorsque les deux dispositifs 21 et 23 se situent au contact l'un de l'autre, ou à proximité l'un de l'autre.[035]. Furthermore, a recharge infrastructure 18 for recharging the storage device 12 comprises an electric device 21 capable of transmitting energy to an onboard device 23 on the vehicle. The device 23 is able to receive the energy transmitted by the infrastructure 18 and to transmit it to the storage device 12. The energy transfer takes place when the two devices 21 and 23 are in contact with each other, or close to each other.
[036]. Selon un mode de réalisation, les dispositifs 21 et 23 sont des connecteurs électriques, dont la mise en contact permet le transfert d'énergie à des fins de rechargement électrique du véhicule. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, il s'agit de deux moitiés d'un transformateur électromagnétique, dont le rapprochement permet, par induction, le transfert d'énergie. Dans les deux cas, la connexion entre le véhicule 1 et l'infrastructure 18 de recharge est effectuée sans avoir à utiliser de câble électrique.[036]. According to one embodiment, the devices 21 and 23 are electrical connectors, the bringing into contact allows the transfer of energy for the purpose of electrical recharging of the vehicle. According to another embodiment, it is two halves of an electromagnetic transformer, the approximation allows, by induction, the transfer of energy. In both cases, the connection between the vehicle 1 and the charging infrastructure 18 is performed without the use of an electric cable.
[037]. Par ailleurs, le véhicule 1 est également équipé d'un dispositif 25 de positionnement comportant un dispositif 27 de contrôle du déplacement du véhicule permettant une action sur un ou plusieurs des organes du véhicule choisi parmi : la machine 10 électrique, le moteur 7 thermique, le système 15 d'assistance de la direction du véhicule, les freins 17, l'embrayage 11 , et la boîte 8 de vitesses.[037]. Furthermore, the vehicle 1 is also equipped with a positioning device comprising a device 27 for controlling the movement of the vehicle enabling an action on one or more of the vehicle components chosen from: the electrical machine, the heat engine, the vehicle steering assistance system 15, the brakes 17, the clutch 11, and the gearbox 8.
[038]. Le dispositif 25 de positionnement fait également appel à un dispositif 29 de repérage installé au voisinage de l'infrastructure 18 de recharge qui forme un repère de positionnement par rapport à l'infrastructure 18 de recharge. De préférence, ce dispositif 29 de repérage est intégré à l'infrastructure 18.[038]. The positioning device 25 also uses a tracking device 29 installed in the vicinity of the recharging infrastructure 18 which forms a positioning mark with respect to the charging infrastructure 18. Preferably, this tracking device 29 is integrated in the infrastructure 18.
[039]. Le dispositif 25 de positionnement comporte également des transducteurs 30 aptes à transmettre des signaux relatifs à la position du véhicule par rapport au dispositif 29, ainsi qu'un dispositif 31 de mesure en relation avec les transducteurs 30 permettant d'évaluer la position du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure 18 à partir des signaux fournis par les transducteurs 30.[039]. The positioning device 25 also comprises transducers 30 capable of transmitting signals relating to the position of the vehicle relative to the device 29, as well as a measuring device 31 relationship with the transducers 30 for evaluating the position of the vehicle with respect to the infrastructure 18 from the signals provided by the transducers 30.
[040]. Selon un mode de réalisation, on utilise des cibles optiques en guise de dispositif 29 de repérage, associées à un transducteur 30 constitué d'une caméra vidéo. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le transducteur 30 prend la forme de capteurs à ultrasons, tels que ceux employés dans les dispositifs d'aide au stationnement. Le dispositif 29 de repérage peut alors être constitué de balises ultrasonores. Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement avantageux car il permet de tirer partie de transducteurs susceptibles d'être déjà installés sur le véhicule.[040]. According to one embodiment, optical targets are used as a tracking device associated with a transducer 30 consisting of a video camera. In another embodiment, the transducer 30 is in the form of ultrasonic sensors, such as those employed in parking assist devices. The tracking device 29 may then consist of ultrasonic beacons. This embodiment is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible to take advantage of transducers likely to be already installed on the vehicle.
[041]. Le dispositif 25 permet un positionnement précis du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure 18. A cet effet, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite effectuer une opération de rechargement du dispositif 12 de stockage, il présente son véhicule en regard de l'infrastructure 18 et active le dispositif 27 de contrôle, par exemple au moyen d'un contacteur électrique du tableau de bord. En variante, le dispositif 27 de contrôle s'active automatiquement lorsque le dispositif 27 détecte qu'il se trouve à proximité de l'infrastructure 18.[041]. The device 25 allows a precise positioning of the vehicle with respect to the infrastructure 18. For this purpose, when the user wishes to perform a reloading operation of the storage device 12, he presents his vehicle with regard to the infrastructure 18 and active the control device 27, for example by means of an electrical switch of the dashboard. Alternatively, the control device 27 is activated automatically when the device 27 detects that it is close to the infrastructure 18.
[042]. Comme représenté sur la figure 2a, les transducteurs 30 échangent alors des signaux 33 avec le dispositif 29 de repérage, et transmettent au dispositif 31 de mesure des signaux relatifs à la position du véhicule par rapport au dispositif 29 de repérage. Le dispositif 31 de mesure calcule la position initiale Pl du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure 18 à partir des signaux reçus, et la communique au dispositif 27 de contrôle.[042]. As shown in FIG. 2a, the transducers 30 then exchange signals 33 with the locating device 29, and transmit to the measuring device 31 signals relating to the position of the vehicle relative to the tracking device 29. The measuring device 31 calculates the initial position P1 of the vehicle with respect to the infrastructure 18 from the received signals, and communicates it to the control device 27.
[043]. En fonction de l'information de position Pl reçue, le dispositif 27 de contrôle calcule une trajectoire T permettant de passer de la position Pl jusqu'à une position PF finale par rapport à l'infrastructure 18. La position PF finale du véhicule est choisie de façon à amener les dispositifs électriques 21 et 23 dans une position relative prédéfinie permettant leur accostage immédiat ou ultérieur de façon à permettre un transfert d'énergie E de l'infrastructure 18 de recharge vers le dispositif 12 de stockage et de procéder ainsi au rechargement du dispositif 12 de stockage du véhicule.[043]. Based on the position information P1 received, the control device 27 calculates a trajectory T making it possible to move from the position P1 to a final position PF with respect to the infrastructure 18. The final position PF of the vehicle is chosen so as to bring the electrical devices 21 and 23 in a predefined relative position allowing their immediate or subsequent berthing so as to allow a transfer of energy E of the charging infrastructure 18 to the storage device 12 and reloading the vehicle storage device 12.
[044]. La position PF finale est enregistrée au préalable dans une mémoire incorporée dans ledit dispositif 27 ou transmise par l'infrastructure 18 de recharge au dispositif 27 de contrôle, au moyen par exemple d'une communication radiofréquence. Cette variante permet au véhicule de pouvoir s'adapter à plusieurs types d'infrastructure 18 de chargement pouvant présenter des géométries différentes.[044]. The final PF position is stored beforehand in a memory incorporated in said device 27 or transmitted by the charging infrastructure 18 to the control device 27, for example by means of a radio frequency communication. This variant allows the vehicle to be able to adapt to several types of loading infrastructure 18 may have different geometries.
[045]. Le dispositif de contrôle 27 pilote alors les différents actionneurs 7, 8, 11 , 15, 17 de façon à déplacer le véhicule selon la trajectoire T calculée. Tout au long du déplacement du véhicule, le dispositif 31 de mesure évalue la position P du véhicule par rapport à l'infrastructure 18 et en avise le dispositif 27 de positionnement, lequel corrige la trajectoire T en fonction de ces informations.[045]. The control device 27 then drives the various actuators 7, 8, 11, 15, 17 so as to move the vehicle along the calculated trajectory T. Throughout the movement of the vehicle, the measuring device 31 evaluates the position P of the vehicle relative to the infrastructure 18 and notifies the positioning device 27, which corrects the trajectory T based on this information.
[046]. Lorsque le véhicule 1 est en position PF pour permettre l'accostage des dispositifs 21 et 23 comme représenté sur la Figure 2b, le dispositif 27 de contrôle pilote les actionneurs 7, 8, 10, 11 , 15, 17 de façon à immobiliser le véhicule 1.[046]. When the vehicle 1 is in the position PF to allow the docking of the devices 21 and 23 as shown in Figure 2b, the control device 27 controls the actuators 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 so as to immobilize the vehicle 1.
[047]. Selon un mode de réalisation, les dispositifs électriques 21 et 23 comportent un dispositif de guidage permettant de guider leur accostage ; ce dispositif de guidage pouvant être constitué d'un guide évasé installé sur un des dispositifs électriques 21 , 23 et par un profil de forme convexe installé sur l'autre dispositif électrique 21 , 23 destiné à s'insérer dans le guide.[047]. According to one embodiment, the electrical devices 21 and 23 comprise a guiding device for guiding their docking; this guide device may consist of a flared guide installed on one of the electrical devices 21, 23 and a convex shape profile installed on the other electrical device 21, 23 for insertion into the guide.
[048]. Selon un mode de réalisation, le dispositif 21 de rechargement est fixé à l'infrastructure 18 au moyen d'une fixation souple afin d'amortir un éventuel choc lors d'un accostage. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif 21 de rechargement est situé sur un bras télescopique rétractable qui permet d'amener le dispositif 23 au contact du dispositif 23 une fois que le véhicule est immobilisé dans la position PF voulue.[048]. According to one embodiment, the charging device 21 is fixed to the infrastructure 18 by means of a flexible attachment to cushion a possible impact during a docking. According to another embodiment, the reloading device 21 is located on a retractable telescopic arm which makes it possible to bring the device 23 into contact with the device 23 once the vehicle is immobilized in the desired position PF.
[049]. De préférence, lors de la manœuvre de positionnement, le conducteur présent dans le véhicule garde le contrôle de ce dernier, au moyen du volant de direction et de la pédale de frein, et peut stopper à tout instant le véhicule si le mouvement de ce dernier constitue un danger pour son environnement. [049]. Preferably, during the positioning maneuver, the driver in the vehicle retains control of the vehicle by means of the steering wheel and the brake pedal, and can stop the vehicle at any time if the movement of the vehicle constitutes a danger to the environment.
