- FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of a vehicular power supply device 1001 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- an engine 15A, a generator 11, a starter 15, a main power supply 13, a vehicle control circuit 31, a load 19, and a vehicle power supply device 1001 are mounted on the vehicle 1002.

- the generator 11 is electrically connected to the main power supply 13, the starter 15, and the load 19.
- the generator 11 generates power by being driven by the engine 15A.
- the generated electric power is generated by the electric power generated by the engine 15A consuming fuel and generated, and the kinetic energy when the vehicle 1002 is inertially traveling in a fuel cut state in which the fuel supply to the engine 15A is stopped at the time of deceleration. And regenerative power.
- the vehicle control circuit 31 injects fuel to avoid the engine stall when the vehicle speed v of the vehicle 1002 becomes less than the predetermined speed vk even during deceleration, and the engine 15A is The throttle 62 and the engine 15A are controlled to drive.
- the electric power generated by the generator 11 when the vehicle speed v is less than the predetermined speed vk is not the regenerative electric power even during deceleration.
- the predetermined speed vk is determined for each vehicle, and in the vehicle 1002 according to the first embodiment, the predetermined speed vk is 10 km / hour.
- the main power supply 13 is configured of a secondary battery such as a lead battery. Also, the starter 15 is mechanically connected to the engine 15A to start the engine 15A.
- the load 19 is an electrical component such as a navigation device, a video / audio device, and a lighting device mounted on the vehicle 1002.
- Vehicle 1002 further includes an accelerator pedal 61 and a throttle 62 both connected to vehicle control circuit 31.
- the vehicle control circuit 31 controls the opening degree of the throttle 62 according to the depression state (accelerator opening degree) of the accelerator pedal 61, and controls the amount of air and fuel supplied to the engine 15A by the throttle 62.
- Vehicle power supply device 1001 includes DC / DC converter 23, power storage unit 25, and control unit 29.
- the vehicle power supply device 1001 may further include a generator 11, a starter 15, and a main power supply 13.
- a power storage unit 25 is electrically connected to the load 19 via the DC / DC converter 23.
- DC / DC converter 23 controls charge and discharge of power storage unit 25. That is, basically, when the generator 11 generates regenerative power, the DC / DC converter 23 operates to charge the storage unit 25 with the regenerative power. When regenerative power is not generated, DC / DC converter 23 operates to discharge the regenerative power charged by power storage unit 25 to main power supply 13 and load 19 according to the state of vehicle 1002.
- power storage unit 25 stores regenerative electric power generated when vehicle 1002 decelerates. Since the regenerative power is generated sharply, in order to sufficiently store the regenerative power, power storage unit 25 is formed of a large capacity capacitor such as an electric double layer capacitor having good charge acceptance. Note that the number of electric double layer capacitors and the electrical connection method (series, parallel, series-parallel) are appropriately determined based on the power specification required for the vehicle 1002. In the first embodiment, power storage unit 25 is formed of five electric double layer capacitors having a rated voltage of 2.5 V connected in series with each other. Therefore, storage unit 25 can be charged to a storage unit voltage Vc of 12.5 V, which is the voltage across storage unit 25.
- Vc storage unit voltage
- the upper limit voltage of the storage unit voltage Vc is set as the upper limit voltage Vcu.
- storage unit 25 is discharged up to 1 V per electric double layer capacitor, that is, storage unit voltage Vc is 5 V.
- the voltage at the lower limit of storage unit voltage Vc for avoiding problems of storage unit 25 such as overdischarge is defined as lower limit voltage Vck.
- DC / DC converter 23 controls storage unit voltage Vc so that storage unit voltage Vc does not deviate from this range.
- Charge state value SOC is defined as an index indicating the amount of power stored in power storage unit 25.
- charge state value SOC is described as storage unit voltage Vc.
- Upper limit value SOCu and lower limit value SOCk of charge state value SOC will be described as upper limit voltage Vcu and lower limit voltage Vck of power storage unit voltage Vc, respectively, for vehicle power supply device 1001.
- the DC / DC converter 23 is electrically connected to the control unit 29 by signal system wiring.
- the control unit 29 is composed of a microcomputer, a memory and peripheral circuits.
- the control unit 29 controls the DC / DC converter 23 by the control signal Scont.
- the controller 29 has a voltage detection function.
- the control unit 29 is also electrically connected to the vehicle control circuit 31 by the signal system wiring.
- the vehicle control circuit 31 controls the entire vehicle 1002 and transmits signals indicating various states of the vehicle 1002 to the control unit 29 by the data signal Sdata in accordance with the vehicle communication standard, or from the control unit 29 It receives various information such as the operation status of the / DC converter 23 or the like.
- the control of the generator 11 and the starter 15 is performed by the vehicle control circuit 31, but the signal system wiring is omitted in FIG. 1 because the description of the signal system wiring is complicated. Further, the generator 11 outputs the generator voltage Va in accordance with the generated voltage command value Vg output from the vehicle control circuit 31. In the first embodiment, the generated voltage command value Vg is always 14.5V.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are flowcharts showing the operation of the vehicular power supply device 1001.
- FIG. The flowcharts of FIGS. 2A and 2B are executed by the microcomputer operating based on the program stored in the memory of the control unit 29.
- the flowcharts of FIGS. 2A and 2B are shown as subroutines executed from the main routine. Therefore, the subroutines of FIGS. 2A and 2B are called from the main routine and executed as needed.
- control unit 29 When execution of the subroutines of FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B is started (step S11A), control unit 29 first reads storage unit voltage Vc (step S11), and then compares storage unit voltage Vc and upper limit voltage Vcu ( Step S13).
- control unit 29 stops the DC / DC converter 23 in order to prevent the storage unit 25 from being charged any more.
- control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 so as to discharge power storage unit 25. The details of this operation will be described below.
- control unit 29 reads vehicle speed v of vehicle 1002 from data signal Sdata transmitted from vehicle control circuit 31 (step S15). It is determined whether or not the vehicle is decelerating (step S17). Here, the control unit 29 determines whether the vehicle 1002 is decelerating based on the difference between the read vehicle speed v and the previous vehicle speed vo, which is the previously read vehicle speed. Specifically, if the vehicle speed v is not 0 and is smaller than the previous vehicle speed vo, the control unit 29 determines that the vehicle 1002 is decelerating. If the vehicle speed v is larger than the previous vehicle speed vo, the control unit 29 determines that the vehicle 1002 is accelerating.
- the control unit 29 determines that the vehicle 1002 is traveling at a constant speed. When the vehicle speed v and the previous vehicle speed vo are both 0, the control unit 29 determines that the vehicle 1002 is at a stop.
- the determination as to whether or not the vehicle 1002 is decelerating by the control unit 29 is not limited to the method described above, and the control unit 29 determines the ratio between the vehicle speed v and the previous vehicle speed vo. Whether or not the vehicle 1002 is decelerating may be determined from the time derivative value of the vehicle speed v.
- step S17 If the vehicle 1002 is decelerating in step S17 (Yes in step S17), the generator 11 generates regenerative power when the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk. However, since storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or higher than upper limit voltage Vcu, storage unit 25 can not be charged with regenerative power any more. Therefore, since it is not necessary to operate the DC / DC converter 23, the control unit 29 stops the DC / DC converter 23 in order to reduce unnecessary power consumption by the DC / DC converter 23 (step S31), The process returns to the main routine (step S31A).
- step S13 when storage unit voltage Vc is higher than upper limit voltage Vcu (Yes in step S13) and vehicle 1002 is decelerating (Yes in step S17), storage unit 25 is charged with regenerative power. This is also performed when the storage unit voltage Vc reaches the upper limit voltage Vcu. That is, since storage of power storage unit 25 is limited during deceleration of vehicle 1002 to generate regenerative power, vehicle 1002 always decelerates when storage unit voltage Vc reaches upper limit voltage Vcu while storage of storage unit 25 is charging. It is inside. Therefore, when storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or higher than upper limit voltage Vcu, control unit 29 stops DC / DC converter 23 (step S31), and returns to the main routine (step S31A).

- discharge predetermined voltage Vfd is a voltage value set to discharge power storage unit 25 and is specifically determined as follows.
- control unit 29 In order for DC / DC converter 23 to discharge the regenerative power of power storage unit 25, control unit 29 performs DC so that load voltage Vf, which is the input / output side voltage of DC / DC converter 23, becomes higher than the current voltage value.

- the control unit 29 controls the DC / DC converter 23 so that the load voltage Vf becomes the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd (step S19), whereby the load voltage Vf which is the input / output side voltage is The regenerative power stored in the storage unit 25 is discharged to be 15 V.
- the regenerative power is supplied to the main power supply 13 and the load 19, and the regenerative power can be effectively used.
- the generator 11 since a voltage higher than the generator voltage Va is applied to the generator 11, power generation in the generator 11 can be stopped.
- the generator 11 can be mechanically separated from the engine 15A, the mechanical burden on the engine 15A can be reduced accordingly, and fuel consumption can be improved.
- the same effect can be obtained by the same operation even when the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed and when the engine 15A is stopped with idling.
- the vehicle control circuit 31 performs idling stop for stopping the engine 15A while the vehicle 1002 is stopped, the generator 11 is stopped, but the generated voltage command value Vg is constant at 14.5 V.
- the control unit 29 adds the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf (0.5 V) to the generated voltage command value Vg (14.5 V) as described above to determine the predetermined discharge voltage Vfd as 15 V.
- the DC / DC converter 23 discharges the regenerated power stored in the storage unit 25 so that the load voltage Vf which is the input / output side voltage is 15 V, and the regenerated power is the main power supply 13 And the load 19 for effective utilization.

- storage unit voltage Vc is higher than lower limit voltage Vck (No in step S21), storage unit voltage Vc is between upper limit voltage Vcu and lower limit voltage Vck.
- charge and discharge control of power storage unit 25 is performed by the operation described below.
- control unit 29 reads the vehicle speed v of the vehicle 1002 (step S23), and determines whether the vehicle 1002 is decelerating in the same manner as step S17 (step S25). If vehicle 1002 is not decelerating in step S25 (No in step S25), generator 11 does not generate regenerative power, and storage unit 25 is charging the regenerative power that can be discharged, so control is performed in step S19.
- the unit 29 controls the DC / DC converter 23 so that the load voltage Vf becomes the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd.
- control unit 29 determines whether or not generator 11 generates regenerative power that can be charged by power storage unit 25. Specifically, control unit 29 compares vehicle speed v with predetermined speed vk (step S27). If the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk (Yes in step S27), the control unit 29 determines that regenerative electric power is generated. At the time of deceleration of the vehicle 1002 (Yes in step S25), the vehicle control circuit 31 stops the supply of fuel to the engine 15A and is in a state of fuel cut.
- the predetermined speed vk is a speed at which fuel supply to the engine 15A is started again in the fuel cut state while the vehicle 1002 is decelerating to finish the fuel cut state, and in the first embodiment, it is 10 km / hour. is there.
- the vehicle control circuit 31 injects fuel to drive the engine 15A. That is, when the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk in step S27 (Yes in step S27), the engine 15A is in the fuel cut state, and the power generated by the generator 11 is regenerated power.
- control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 such that load voltage Vf attains charge predetermined voltage Vfc (step S29), and as a result, power storage unit 25 is charged with regenerated power.
- the charging predetermined voltage Vfc is a voltage value set to charge the storage portion 25. Specifically, it is determined as follows.
- the control unit 29 performs DC so that the load voltage Vf, which is the input / output side voltage of the DC / DC converter 23, becomes lower than the current voltage value. Control the DC / DC converter 23; Thereby, the DC / DC converter 23 charges the storage unit 25 to lower the current value of the load voltage Vf to the charge predetermined voltage Vfc.
- Control unit 29 reads the present generated voltage command value Vg (a constant value of 14.5 V) from vehicle control circuit 31, and based on the read generated voltage command value Vg, the predetermined voltage at the time of discharging of power storage unit 25 (step S19)
- the charge predetermined voltage Vfc is determined by subtracting the width ⁇ Vf. In the first embodiment, the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf is 0.5 V as described above.
- the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf is determined to be 0.5 V in any of steps S19 and S29, it may be appropriately determined in accordance with the control specification of the DC / DC converter 23 and the voltage detection accuracy.
- the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf is set to the same value in steps S19 and S29.
- the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf. May be different from each other.
- step S19 and S29 assuming that the load voltage Vf and the generator voltage Va are substantially equal, the control unit 29 adds or subtracts the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf to the generated voltage command value Vg to obtain the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd and the charge predetermined voltage Vfc. There is. Then, the control unit 29 controls the DC / DC converter 23 such that the load voltage Vf becomes the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd or the charge predetermined voltage Vfc. However, when the distance of the power system wiring between the generator 11 and the DC / DC converter 23 is long and the wiring resistance of the wiring becomes large, the control unit 29 sets the generated voltage command value Vg to the predetermined voltage width ⁇ Vf.
- the DC / DC converter 23 is set such that the generator voltage Va becomes the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd or the charge predetermined voltage Vfc instead of the load voltage Vf in steps S19 and S29 by adding or subtracting to determine the discharge predetermined voltage Vfd and the charge predetermined voltage Vfc. May be controlled.
- regenerative power has a large current value which changes rapidly. Therefore, when charging regenerative power to storage unit 25, load voltage Vf also fluctuates due to the wiring resistance. As a result, the control of the load voltage Vf by the DC / DC converter 23 can not catch up with the fluctuation, and there is a possibility that the regenerative power can not be recovered sufficiently.
- the generator voltage Va By controlling the generator voltage Va by the DC / DC converter 23, the influence of the voltage fluctuation due to the wiring resistance can be reduced, and the regenerative power can be recovered sufficiently and the storage portion 25 can be charged.
- step S27 When the vehicle speed v is smaller than the predetermined speed vk in step S27 (No in step S27), the vehicle 1002 ends the fuel cut state as described above, and the vehicle control circuit 31 supplies fuel to drive the engine 15A. If the power generated by the generator 11 is charged to the storage unit 25 in this state, the charging operation involves the consumption of fuel, and the efficiency is reduced. Therefore, when vehicle speed v is smaller than predetermined speed vk in step S27 (No in step S27), control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 to stop to stop charging of power storage unit 25 (step S31) Return to the main routine (step S31A). As a result, unnecessary operation of the DC / DC converter 23 is not performed, and accordingly, high efficiency can be achieved.
- control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 so as not to discharge from storage unit 25 any more. Specifically, first, the control unit 29 reads the vehicle speed v (step S33), and determines whether the vehicle 1002 is decelerating in the same manner as in steps S17 and S25 (step S35). If the vehicle 1002 is decelerating in step S35 (Yes in step S35), the control unit 29 performs the operations in and after step S27 described above.
- step S35 if vehicle 1002 is decelerating in step S35 (Yes in step S35), if the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk (Yes in step S27), the regenerative power can be collected and the power storage unit 25 is charged.
- the DC / DC converter 23 is controlled to do this (step S29). If vehicle 1002 is decelerating in step S35 (Yes in step S35), storage unit voltage Vc reaches lower limit voltage Vck when vehicle speed v is less than predetermined speed vk (No in step S27). Therefore, control unit 29 stops the operation of DC / DC converter 23 so as not to discharge from power storage unit 25 (step S31), and returns to the main routine (step S31A).
- control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 to charge regenerative power to storage unit 25 (step S29). Or the DC / DC converter 23 is stopped (step S31), the storage unit 25 is not further discharged.
- step S35 when the vehicle 1002 is not decelerating in step S35 (No in step S35), the vehicle 1002 is in a non-decelerating state, and in this state, the control unit 29 compares the vehicle speed v with the predetermined speed vk (step S37). If it is determined in step S37 that the vehicle speed v is smaller than the predetermined speed vk (No in step S37), the vehicle 1002 is stopping, accelerating, or traveling at an extremely low speed lower than the predetermined speed vk. Therefore, regenerative electric power to be charged by power storage unit 25 is not generated. Furthermore, since storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or lower than lower limit voltage Vck, storage unit 25 can not discharge any more. As described above, since the charge / discharge to the storage unit 25 is not performed, the control unit 29 controls the DC / DC converter 23 to stop (step S31), and returns to the main routine (step S31A).
- step S37 if it is determined in step S37 that the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk (Yes in step S37), the vehicle 1002 is accelerating or traveling at a predetermined speed vk. At this time, since storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or lower than lower limit voltage Vck, storage unit 25 is not discharged, but storage unit 25 can be charged when regenerative power is generated. However, since it is not known when the regenerative power is generated, it is necessary to start the DC / DC converter 23 to operate and to be in the standby state before the regenerative power is generated. The operation of the vehicle power supply device 1001 at that time will be described.
- control unit 29 reads the state of the accelerator pedal based on data signal Sdata transmitted from vehicle control circuit 31 (step S39).
- step S39 When the accelerator pedal is depressed and the vehicle 1002 continues to accelerate and drive at a constant speed, regenerative electric power is not generated. Therefore, when the state of the accelerator pedal read in step S39 is not the state of accelerator off (No in step S41), storage unit 25 is in a state where neither charging nor discharging is performed. Control is stopped (step S31), and the process returns to the main routine (step S31A).
- storage unit voltage Vc is less than upper limit voltage Vcu (No in step S13), storage unit voltage Vc is less than lower limit voltage Vck (Yes in step S21), and vehicle 1002 is in a non-decelerating state (step In the above operation when the vehicle speed v is less than the predetermined speed vk (No in S35) (No in step S37 or No in step S41), regenerative power is discharged from power storage unit 25 and storage unit voltage Vc is lower limit voltage Vck.
- step S37 if the vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed vk, the vehicle 1002 is accelerating or traveling at a constant speed, so the probability of being in the accelerator on state where the throttle 62 is opened by depressing the accelerator pedal 61 is very high. high.
- step S41 if the vehicle 1002 is in the accelerator-off state in step S41 (Yes in step S41), the driver is not depressing the accelerator pedal while the vehicle 1002 is accelerating or traveling at a constant speed. In this case, there is a possibility that the driver depresses and decelerates the brake pedal immediately after that, so the control unit 29 activates the DC / DC converter 23 to be in a standby state. Thereby, even when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the regenerative electric power can be recovered without being dropped and the power storage unit 25 can be charged.
- the specific operation of the vehicle power supply device 1001 at this time will be described below.
- step S41 When vehicle 1002 is in the accelerator off state in step S41 (Yes in step S41), storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or lower than lower limit voltage Vck, and control unit 29 does not discharge storage unit 25. Control 23 Furthermore, at this time, it is unclear whether or not the driver decelerates the vehicle 1002 based on a clear intention that the driver depresses the brake pedal, and therefore the control unit 29 does not charge the storage unit 25 either. Control. Although the vehicle decelerates gently while the vehicle 1002 is in inertial travel, recovering the regenerative power in this state and charging the storage unit 25 shortens the inertial travel distance, and it may be overall depending on conditions such as the vehicle speed v and the vehicle weight. Fuel consumption may not improve.
- control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 such that power storage unit 25 hardly charges and discharges, and puts DC / DC converter 23 in a standby state.
- control unit 29 reads the current voltage value of storage unit voltage Vc, controls DC / DC converter 23 to maintain the voltage value (step S43), and returns to the main routine (step S43A).
- the control unit 29 can operate the DC / DC converter 23.
- step S43 the DC / DC converter 23 controls so as to maintain the storage unit voltage Vc, and does not control the load voltage Vf which is an input / output side voltage.
- control unit 29 After returning to the main routine in steps S19A, S29A, S31A, and S43A, the control unit 29 starts to execute the subroutines shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B again (step S11A), and repeatedly executes the subroutines in this manner.
- control unit 29 can switch between charge / discharge, stop, and standby of storage unit 25 of DC / DC converter 23 according to storage unit voltage Vc and the state of vehicle 1002.
- vehicle speed v is equal to or higher than predetermined speed vk and vehicle 1002 is in the accelerator off state when vehicle 1002 is not decelerating, or storage unit voltage Vc is larger than lower limit voltage Vck.
- the control unit 29 operates the DC / DC converter 23.
- Storage unit voltage Vc corresponds to a charge state value SOC of storage unit 25.
- Lower limit voltage Vck corresponds to lower limit value SOCk of charge state value SOC.
- the operation of the DC / DC converter 23 includes the standby in step S43, that is, the state where the DC / DC converter 23 is not stopped.
- control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 to discharge power storage unit 25 (step S19). At this stage, control unit 29 controls DC / DC converter 23 Is operating.
- control unit 29 when storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or higher than lower limit voltage Vck, control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 if vehicle 1002 is in a non-decelerating state. On the other hand, storage unit voltage Vc is lower than lower limit voltage Vck and vehicle 1002 is not decelerating (No in step S35) and vehicle speed v is over predetermined speed vk (Yes in step S37). If it is in the off state (Yes in step S41), the control unit 29 operates the DC / DC converter 23 in the standby state (step S43). As described above, when the vehicle speed v is the predetermined speed vk or more and the vehicle 1002 is in the accelerator-off state when the vehicle 1002 is not decelerating, the control unit 29 operates the DC / DC converter 23.
- control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 to discharge power storage unit 25.
- control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 to charge power storage unit 25 in step S29.
- Upper limit voltage Vcu corresponds to upper limit value SOCu of charge state value SOC. At this time, the DC / DC converter 23 has already been activated. This is due to the following reason.
- step S25 When storage unit voltage Vc is between upper limit voltage Vcu and lower limit voltage Vck and vehicle 1002 is decelerating (Yes in step S25), DC / DC converter 23 charges regenerative power to storage unit 25.
- the controller 29 operates the DC / DC converter 23. Therefore, when storage unit voltage Vc is between upper limit voltage Vcu and lower limit voltage Vck and vehicle 1002 is decelerating (Yes in step S25), control unit 29 operates DC / DC converter 23 without fail.
- step S35 when the result of step S35 is Yes, storage unit voltage Vc is equal to or lower than lower limit voltage Vck, and vehicle 1002 is decelerating. Therefore, the DC / DC converter 23 is just before starting to charge the storage unit 25. In order to charge regenerative power to storage unit 25, vehicle 1002 needs to be in deceleration, so the driver does not step on accelerator pedal 61. After that, no matter how suddenly the driver steps on the brake pedal, the processing speed of the control unit 29 is much faster than the speed at which the brake pedal is depressed, so the vehicle 1002 decelerates in step S35 (step S35). If the accelerator is off at step S41 (Yes at step S41), the control unit 29 operates the DC / DC converter 23 at step S43 and is in a standby state.

In the first embodiment, the accelerator off state is determined from the accelerator opening signal when the driver releases his or her foot from the accelerator pedal 61. However, even when the driver puts his foot on the accelerator pedal 61, there is a region where the vehicle control circuit 31 does not judge that the accelerator pedal 61 is depressed. In addition, there may be an error due to the play of the accelerator pedal 61.
