In the 4th moving body of the present invention, drainage control mechanism can have multiple arbitrary structures.In first kind of possible structure, drainage control mechanism is a kind of valve system that reduces aperture when speed is not less than predetermined value.This valve system can comprise electromagnetic valve and the control cock in response to the aperture of the speed setting electromagnetic valve of moving body.Alternatively, this valve system can comprise the leaf valve in response to the variation opening and closing of external pressure.Under the condition of the higher speed of moving body, increase along with the increase of moving velocity by hindering pressure or the fluctuation of pressure pressure that windstream produces.Therefore the leaf valve that opens and closes in response to the variation of fluctuation of pressure pressure activates the valve system with simpler construction.
In second kind of possible structure, drainage control mechanism is to make the fluctuation of pressure pressure that is produced by moving of described moving body act on the gargle pipe (drain) that has opening on the position of direction of discharge of the described water of restriction and the direction.For example, this gargle pipe can be connected to the outside of moving body forward.
Drainage control mechanism can be arranged in exhaust system, for example, is located immediately in the gargle pipe.In another preferred embodiment, exhaust system has gas-liquid separation mechanism so that water and waste gas are separated, and drainage control mechanism is arranged in the downstream of the gas-liquid separation mechanism of water discharge system (drainage system).Gas-liquid separation mechanism separates water and waste gas, and advantageously guarantees effective discharging of water thus.
In a kind of preferred structure of this embodiment, gas-liquid separation mechanism has the water receiver that temporarily water is accumulated in wherein.The existence of water receiver can be satisfactorily under the moving body high-speed mobile condition restriction water discharging and do not influence the function of gas-liquid separation.In this structure, drainage system preferably is set in water receiver has opening with front portion at moving body.When moving body quickened, force of inertia was used for pressing the water that is accumulated in water receiver backward, and disturbed the discharging of water from water receiver to prevent splashing of water thus.On the other hand, when moving body slowed down, force of inertia was used for pressing forward the water that is accumulated in water receiver, helped water to discharge from water receiver thus.The opening surface that is used for discharge water of water receiver is to the front of moving body.This simple structure limits the discharging of water when moving body quickens, and helps the discharge of water when moving body slows down.
The 5th moving body of the present invention comprises: the fuel cell that produces electric power by the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen; The waste gas of fuel cell is discharged the exhaust system of moving body; The temporary transient water receiver that keeps being contained in the water in the waste gas; With the gargle pipe of the front portion that is formed on moving body with discharge water from water receiver.

The following describes the sequence of operations of discharging by the water of 22 generations of the fuel cells in the fuel cell system 20 on the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment that is installed in above-mentioned structure.Fig. 4 is the diagram of circuit that the emission control routine of being carried out by electronic control unit 71 is shown.Repeat this emission control routine with preset time interval (for example, per 20 milliseconds).This emission control routine adopts multiple discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5, and FL1 to FL3 and FR1 to FR3 and compensation value K1 to K3 regulate the aperture A of blowoff valve 56a to 56f, and regulates the discharge of water from each discharge port 58a to 58f thus.Motoring condition compensation value and sign according to Fig. 5 are set routine, the vehicle posture sign of Fig. 6 is set routine, the turning mark of Fig. 7 is set routine, the obstacle compensation value of Fig. 8 and sign are set routine, set routine-(for example with the sign of getting on or off the bus of Fig. 9 with predetermined time interval, per 20 milliseconds) repeat these routines-set discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5, FL1 to FL3 and FR1 to FR3 and compensation value K1 and K2.For the ease of setting forth, at first discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5 is set in explanation, and the process of FL1 to FL3 and FR1 to FR3 and compensation value K1 and K2 illustrates the emission control program then.
When the motoring condition compensation value of beginning Fig. 5 is set routine with sign, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and sets motoring condition compensation value K1 and the needed data of discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1, for example, vehicle velocity V a from car speed sensor 101, wind speed Vw from air velocity transducer 90, from the external air temperature Ta of air themperature detector 103 with from the brake switch signal SWB (step S200) of brake switch 107.Then, CPU72 is by the acceleration alpha (step S202) of the vehicle velocity V a calculating vehicle of input, and the ON-OFF (step S204) of check stop on-off signal SWB.On-state in response to brake switch signal SWB, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 1 to forbid the discharge water from discharge port 58a to 58f, and prevent the deterioration (step S226) of the possible deceleration and stopping performance that causes owing to discharge water thus, stop this routine then.
In addition, in response to the closed condition of brake switch signal SWB, relatively Shu Ru vehicle velocity V a and predetermined threshold Va1 (step S206).Threshold value Va1 depend on the characteristic of vehicle and be set at do not prevent from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water because vehicle ' wind (vehicle wind) is rolled (swirling) and the speed of a motor vehicle of dispersing (for example, 90km/h).As the vehicle velocity V a of input during greater than threshold value Va1, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 1 to forbid stopping this routine then from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge water (step S226).The purpose of this setting is, prevent from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water since vehicle ' wind roll and disperse and spatter any travel in the back or the front window of the vehicle of side on.In addition, when the vehicle velocity V a of input was not more than threshold value Va1, routine was set speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva (step S208) according to the speed of a motor vehicle of input.Vehicle velocity V a is big more, and speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva is set to more little value with the discharging of restriction water from discharge port 58a to 58f.In the structure of first embodiment, set speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva in advance and be stored among the ROM73 as speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction setting figure with respect to the variation relation of vehicle velocity V a and with it.The program of first embodiment reads and sets the speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva corresponding to given vehicle velocity V a from speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction setting figure.The example of speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction setting figure is shown among Figure 10.In the example shown in this, speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva value of being fixed as 1 all when vehicle velocity V a arrives value Va2 less than threshold value Va1 is then along with vehicle velocity V a reduces from the increase of value Va2.
After having set speed of a motor vehicle coefficient of correction Kva, compare the acceleration alpha and the predetermined threshold α 1 (step S210) that are calculated.Threshold alpha 1 is set at the acceleration/accel when vehicle is rapid suddenly to be started.According to the road surface situation, the sideslip that the rapid startup of vehicle may cause drive wheel.A kind of representative condition of ground-surface that causes drive wheel to break away is wet road surface.Threshold alpha 1 is set at the reference acceleration that may break away that is used to estimate by the drive wheel that causes from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water thus.When the acceleration alpha of being calculated during greater than threshold alpha 1, routine estimates that drive wheel has higher sideslip possibility and will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 1, to forbid that water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f and prevent may break away (the step S226) of drive wheel thus, stops this routine then.On the other hand, when the acceleration alpha of calculating was not more than threshold alpha 1, routine estimated that drive wheel has very little sideslip possibility and sets acceleration/accel coefficient of correction K α (step S212) according to the acceleration alpha of being calculated.It is more little of the discharging of restriction water from discharge port 58a to 58f that degree of will speed up coefficient of correction K α is set at big more then its value of acceleration alpha.In the structure of first embodiment, set acceleration/accel coefficient of correction K α in advance and be stored among the ROM73 as acceleration/accel coefficient of correction setting figure with respect to the variation relation of acceleration alpha and with it.The program of first embodiment reads and sets the acceleration/accel coefficient of correction K α corresponding to given acceleration alpha from acceleration/accel coefficient of correction setting figure.The example of acceleration/accel coefficient of correction setting figure is shown among Figure 11.In the example shown in this, arrive value of being fixed on 1 all until acceleration alpha, then along with acceleration alpha reduces from the increase of value α 2 less than the value α 2 brief acceleration coefficient of correction K α of threshold alpha 1.
After having set acceleration/accel coefficient of correction K α, wind speed Vw and the predetermined threshold Vw1 that imports compared (step S214).With threshold value Vw1 be set at do not prevent from water outlet 58a to 58f drain water by vehicle ' wind or with respect to the windstream of the vehicle that travels roll and the wind speed that disperses (for example, 20m/s).As the wind speed Vw of input during greater than threshold value Vw1, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 1 to forbid the discharging (step S226) of water from discharge port 58a to 58f, stop this routine then.The purpose of this setting is, prevent from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water roll by vehicle ' wind and disperse and spatter any travel in the back or the front window of the vehicle of side on.On the other hand, when the wind speed Vw of input was not more than threshold value Vw1, routine was according to the wind speed Vw wind speed setting coefficient of correction Kvw (step S216) of input.Wind speed Vw is big more, then wind speed coefficient of correction Kvw is set at more little, with restriction water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f.In the structure of first embodiment, wind speed setting coefficient of correction Kvw is stored among the ROM73 as wind speed coefficient of correction setting figure with respect to the variation relation of wind speed Vw and with it in advance.The program of first embodiment reads and sets the wind speed coefficient of correction Kvw corresponding to given wind speed Vw from wind speed coefficient of correction setting figure.The example of wind speed coefficient of correction setting figure is shown among Figure 12.In the example shown in this, wind speed coefficient of correction Kvw value of being fixed as 1 all when wind speed Vw arrives value Vw2 less than threshold value Vw1 is then along with wind speed Vw reduces from the increase of value Vw2.
After having set wind speed coefficient of correction Kvw, external air temperature Ta and the predetermined threshold value Ta1 that imports compared (step S218).Threshold value Ta1 was set at before drain water evaporates or penetrates into the road surface its external air temperature that freezes.Therefore, threshold value Ta1 is set at and prevents that drain water from freezing.When the external air temperature Ta of input is lower than threshold value Ta1, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 1 and be prevented also that from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f the road surface from owing to the water of discharging freezes (step S226), stopping this routine then to forbid water thus.On the other hand, when the external air temperature Ta of input was not less than threshold value Ta1, routine was set external air temperature coefficient of correction Kta (step S220) according to the external air temperature Ta of input.External air temperature Ta is low more, then external air temperature coefficient of correction Kta is set at more little, with restriction water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f.In the structure of first embodiment, set external air temperature coefficient of correction Kta in advance and be stored among the ROM73 as external air temperature coefficient of correction setting figure with respect to the variation relation of external air temperature Ta and with it.The program of first embodiment reads and sets the external air temperature coefficient of correction Kta corresponding to given external air temperature Ta from external air temperature coefficient of correction setting figure.The example of external air temperature coefficient of correction setting figure is shown among Figure 13.In the example shown in this, external air temperature coefficient of correction Kta value of being fixed as 1 all when external air temperature Ta is higher than a value Ta2 greater than threshold value Ta1, then along with external air temperature Ta from the reduction of value Ta2 and reduce.
After having set each coefficient of correction Kva, K α, Kvw and Kta, the product that routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F1 value of being set at 0 (step S222) and each coefficient of correction Kva, K α, Kvw and the Kta that will set subsequently is set at motoring condition compensation value K1 (step S224), stops this routine then.Motoring condition compensation value K1 is according to motoring condition, and for example vehicle velocity V a, acceleration alpha, wind speed Vw and external air temperature Ta restriction water are from the discharging from discharge port 58a to 58f.
When the vehicle posture sign of beginning Fig. 6 is set routine, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and sets discharging mandatory forbidding sign F2 and left and right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL1 and the needed data of FR1, for example, the sideslip that suppresses control setup 112 from breakking away suppresses control information, from the accumulated snow mode switching signal SWS of accumulated snow mode switch 110 with from the brake switch signal SWB (step S230) of brake switch 107.Then, the state (step S232 and S234) of the accumulated snow mode switching signal SWS of the brake switch signal SWB of routine continuous detecting input and input." connecting (ON) " state in response to brake switch signal SWB, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F2 value of being set at 1 to forbid the discharge water from discharge port 58a to 58f, and prevent from thus to stop this routine then owing to may make deceleration and stopping performance worsen (step S246) from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge water.In response to " connection " state of accumulated snow mode switching signal SWS, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F2 value of being set at 1 to forbid stopping this routine then from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge water (step S246).The purpose of this setting is, prevent vehicle during travelling on accumulated snow or the ice-patch surface by the discharging water cause possible unfavorable, for example, owing to making to break away, the reduction of the friction coefficient that causes of water of discharging has very high possibility and because the ice-patch surface that the water of discharging causes makes sideslip have very high possibility.In response to " disconnecting (OFF) " state of brake switch signal SWB and accumulated snow mode switching signal SWS, routine determines according to the sideslip inhibition control information of input whether current state is in the inhibition control (step S236) down of breakking away.Break away to suppress control following time when current state is not in, routine will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F2 and about discharge mandatory forbidding sign FL1 and FR1 value of being set at 0 (step S244), stop this routine then.On the other hand, suppress to control following time when current state is in to break away, routine determines that left wheel still is that right wheel is in the inhibition control (step S238) down of breakking away.When being in to break away, left wheel suppresses to control following time, routine is put mandatory forbidding sign FL1 value of being set at 1 to forbid that water is from left water outlet 58a with left bank, the discharging of 58c and 58e, wherein the discharging of this water may have adverse influence (step S240) to the sideslip of left wheel, stops this routine then.When being in to break away, right wheel suppresses to control following time, routine is discharged mandatory forbidding sign FR1 value of being set at 1 to forbid that water is from right water outlet 58b with the right side, the discharging of 58d and 58f, wherein the discharging of this water may have adverse influence (step S242) to the sideslip of right wheel, stops this routine then.
When the turning mark of beginning Fig. 7 is set routine, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and sets discharging mandatory forbidding sign F3 and left and right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL2 and the needed data of FR2, for example, from the deflection angle θ of steering angle sensor 104 with from the vehicle velocity V a (step S250) of car speed sensor 101.The absolute value and the predetermined threshold value θ 1 of deflection angle θ of input compared (step S252).Threshold value θ 1 is used to detect the cw of direction of passage dish or rotates counterclockwise and the reference value of the turning of the vehicle that reaches.In the structure of first embodiment, the negative value of deflection angle θ is represented rotating counterclockwise of bearing circle, and the clockwise rotating on the occasion of the expression bearing circle of deflection angle θ.When the absolute value of deflection angle θ during less than threshold value θ 1, routine is estimated as does not turn or has the turning of big turn radius and will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F3 and left and right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL2 and FR2 value of being set at 0 (step S254), stops this routine then.On the other hand, when the absolute value of deflection angle θ is not less than threshold value θ 1, vehicle velocity V a and the predetermined threshold value Va3 that imports compared (step S256).Threshold value Va3 is the reference speed of vehicle when crossing left-handed turning or right-hand turning, and it is set at and equals for example 30km/h.As the vehicle velocity V a of input during less than threshold value Va3, routine is estimated as at the turnon left of crossing or right-hand corner and will discharges mandatory forbidding sign F3 value of being set at 1 to forbid the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f, and prevent from thus to form the puddles of water (step S258), stop this routine then in the left side of crossing.On the other hand, when the vehicle velocity V a of input was not less than threshold value Va3, routine detected the plus or minus (step S260) of deflection angle θ.When deflection angle θ is negative value, that is to say that when bearing circle rotated counterclockwise, routine was discharged mandatory forbidding sign FR2 value of being set at 1 to suppress may breakking away of right wheel with the right side, wheel (step S262) outside wherein should right side wheel when turning left being stops this routine then.When deflection angle θ be on the occasion of the time, that is to say that when bearing circle clockwise rotated, routine was put mandatory forbidding sign FL2 value of being set at 1 to suppress may breakking away of left wheel with left bank, wherein when turning right this left wheel be outside wheel (step S264), stop this routine then.
When the obstacle compensation value of beginning Fig. 8 is set routine with sign, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and sets discharging mandatory forbidding sign F4 and left and right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL3 and FR3 and with respect to the needed data of compensation value K2 of follow-up vehicle, for example, from object distance Lfl, Lfr, Lrl and the Lrr of object distance computer device 95 with from the follow-up vehicle distances Lv of follow-up vehicle distances computer device 93 with from the vehicle velocity V a (step S270) of car speed sensor 101.Relatively Shu Ru object distance Lfl, Lfr, Lrl and Lrr and predetermined threshold value Lref (step S272).Threshold value Lref represents not spatter the non-zone of spattering on object from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water, and it is set for and equals for example 50cm and 1m.When object distance Lfl, Lfr, Lrl and the Lrr of all inputs were not less than threshold value Lref, routine was with left and right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL3 and FR3 value of being set at 0 (step S274).When in object distance Lfl, Lfr, Lrl and the Lrr of input in response to from the object distance Lfl that signal calculated of left gap sonar 94a and 94c and among the Lrl any during less than threshold value Lref, routine is put left bank mandatory forbidding sign FL3 value of being set at 1 and is prevented that thus from left bank mouth of a river 58a, 58c and 58e drain water spatter on object (step S276).When in object distance Lfl, Lfr, Lrl and the Lrr of input in response to from the object distance Lfr that signal calculated of right end clearance sonar 94b and 94d and among the Lrr any during less than threshold value Lref, routine is discharged mandatory forbidding sign FR3 value of being set at 1 with the right side and is also prevented from thus to spatter on object (step S278) from right discharge port 58b, 58d and 58f drain water.
After about having set, discharging mandatory forbidding sign FL3 and FR3, routine is set emission limit set distance L 1 and L2 according to the vehicle velocity V a of input, so as to prevent from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water roll by vehicle ' wind and disperse and spatter any travel in the back or the front window of the vehicle of side on (step S280).1 expression of emission limit set distance L must be forbidden the reference range of water from the follow-up vehicle of distance of discharge port 58a to 58f discharge, and 2 expressions of emission limit set distance L need not limit the reference range from follow-up vehicle that water is discharged from discharge port 58a to 58f.Emission limit set distance L 1 and L2 increase along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a.In the structure of first embodiment, set emission limit set distance L 1 and L2 in advance and be stored among the ROM73 as emission limit set distance setting figure with respect to the variation of vehicle velocity V a and with it.The program of first embodiment reads and sets emission limit set distance L 1 and the L2 corresponding to given vehicle velocity V a from emission limit set distance setting figure.The example of emission limit set distance setting figure is shown among Figure 14.In the example shown in this,, set emission limit set distance L 1 and L2 according to being used for emission limit set distance L 1 with respect to the L1 setting curve of vehicle velocity V a be used for the L2 setting curve of emission limit set distance L 2 with respect to vehicle velocity V a.
After having set emission limit set distance L 1 and L2, the setting value (step S282) of the follow-up vehicle distances Lv that routine is relatively imported and emission limit set distance L 1 and L2.As the follow-up vehicle distances Lv of input during less than emission limit set distance L 1, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F4 value of being set at 1 to forbid the discharging (step S284) of water from discharge port 58a to 58f, stop this routine then.When the follow-up vehicle distances Lv of input is not less than emission limit set distance L 1 but is not more than emission limit set distance L 2, routine will be discharged mandatory forbidding sign F4 value of being set at 0 (step S286) and be set compensation value K2 with the discharging (step S288) of restriction water from discharge port 58a to 58f according to follow-up vehicle distances Lv and emission limit set distance L 1 and the L2 of input subsequently, stop this routine then.The less setting value of compensation value K2 has limited water largely from the discharging from discharge port 58a to 58f.About emission limit set distance L 1 and L2, compensation value K2 is shown among Figure 15 with respect to the variation relation of follow-up vehicle distances Lv.In the example shown in this, compensation value K2 is along with follow-up vehicle distances Lv increases from the increase of emission limit set distance L 1, and after follow-up vehicle distances Lv arrives emission limit set distance L 2 value of being fixed as 1.As follow-up vehicle distances Lv during greater than emission limit set distance L 2, routine will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F4 value of being set at 0 (step S290) and subsequently with compensation value K2 value of being set at 1 not limit the discharging (step S92) of water from discharge port 58a to 58f, stop this routine then.
When the sign of getting on or off the bus of beginning Fig. 9 is set routine, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and sets the needed data of discharging mandatory forbidding sign F5, for example, door on-off switch signal SWD1 to SWD4 from the on-off switch 109 of door, from the gear SP of gear position sensor 106 with from the Parking on-off signal SWP (step S300) of Parking switch 108.Routine determines that continuously the gear SP of input is current whether at position P (step S302), and whether the Parking on-off signal SWP of input is " connection " (step S304), and whether the door on-off switch signal SWD1 to SWD4 of input is " connection " (step S306).When gear SP current at position P, when Parking on-off signal SWP is " connection ", or when any one is " disconnection " among the door on-off switch signal SWD1 to SWD4, routine is assert chaufeur or the passenger is going up or down the objective railway carriage or compartment of (by bus or get off) vehicle also will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F5 value of being set at 1 (step S310), stop this routine then.This setting forbids that water also prevents to spatter on chaufeur of getting on the bus or getting off or passenger from the water of discharge port 58a to 58f discharging from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f thus.When gear SP current not at position P, when Parking on-off signal SWP is " disconnection ", and when all on-off switch signal SWD1 to SWD4 are " connection ", the routine identification does not have chaufeur or passenger getting on the bus or gets off and will discharge mandatory forbidding sign F5 value of being set at 0 (step S308), stops this routine then.
As described below, the emission control routine of Fig. 4 is according to discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5, and FL1 to FL3 and FR1 to FR3 and compensation value K1 and K2 control water are from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f.When starting the emission control routine of Fig. 4, the CPU72 of electronic control unit 71 at first imports and is used for water is controlled needed data from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f, for example, raindrop detection signal SWR from sensor for detecting rain 102, water level HW from water gauge 111, with discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5, the setting value (step S100) of FL1 to FL3 and FR1 to FR3 and compensation value K1 and K2.Routine determines subsequently whether raindrop detection signal SWR is connection, promptly whether detects exist (the step S102) of raindrop.In response to the on-state of raindrop detection signal SWR, just, exist in response to detecting raindrop, routine assert the road surface because rain and moist and need not limit water discharge from discharge port 58a to 58f from discharge port.Therefore, routine is with left blowoff valve 56a, the aperture Al of 56c and 56e and right blowoff valve 56b, the actuator that the aperture Ar of 56d and 56f is set at 100% (step S104) and drives blowoff valve 56a to 56f is adjusted to the setting value (step S130) of valve opening Al and Ar with the aperture with blowoff valve 56a to 56f, stops this routine then.That is, blowoff valve 56a to 56f is set to full open position of coupler under this condition.Under wet ground-surface condition in the rain, rainwater is rolled by vehicle ' wind naturally and is dispersed.Thus, all roll and disperse, can't cause adverse effect by vehicle ' wind from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water and rainwater.
On the other hand, in response to the off-state of raindrop detection signal SWR, just, do not exist in response to detecting raindrop, routine is verified the setting value (step S106) of discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5.When any one the setting value of discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5 equals 1, routine is set at 0% (step S110) with valve opening Al and the Ar of blowoff valve 56a to 56f, and the actuator that drives blowoff valve 56a to 56f is adjusted to the setting value (step S130) of valve opening Al and Ar with the aperture with blowoff valve 56a to 56f, stops this routine then.That is, blowoff valve 56a to 56f is set to the contract fully position under this condition.As mentioned above, be respectively setting in the processing that will discharge any one value of being set at 1 among the mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5 in the routine of Fig. 5 to 9, this set prevent effectively from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water roll by vehicle ' wind and disperse and spatter any travel in the back or the front window of the vehicle of side on.This set also prevents may worsen owing to the deceleration and stopping performance that causes from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge water.This layout also prevents because water forms the puddles of water from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge and in the left side of crossing, thereby chaufeur or passenger that protection is got on the bus or got off avoid splashing from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water.
When all discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 to F5 equal 0, the water level HW of the input of returnable 54 and threshold value H1 and H2 are compared (step S108).Threshold value H1 allows the water of the sufficient quantity that will receive from gas-liquid separator 48 to enter the reference level of returnable 54, and it is set at 30% or 40% of the total volume that equals returnable 54 for example.Threshold value H2 is a reference level of estimating returnable 54 basic full-water level, and it is set at 90% of the total volume that equals returnable 54 for example.When the input water level HW of returnable 54 is lower than threshold value H1, routine is set at 0% to eliminate possible unfavorable (the step S110) that brings from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f owing to water with the valve opening Al of blowoff valve 56a to 56f and Ar, and the actuator that drives blowoff valve 56a to 56f is adjusted to the setting value (step S130) of valve opening Al and Ar with the aperture with blowoff valve 56a to 56f, stops this routine then.When the input water level HW of returnable 54 is not less than threshold value H1 but is not higher than threshold value H2, routine is set in response to higher level HW and is used to strengthen the compensation value K3 (step S112) of water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f, and cancels this export-restriction (step S114) when the export-restriction of the output that is set with fuel cell group 22.In the structure of first embodiment, set compensation value K3 in advance and be stored among the ROM73 as compensation value setting figure with respect to the variation relation of water level HW and with it.The program of first embodiment reads and sets the compensation value K3 corresponding to given water level HW from compensation value setting figure.The less setting of compensation value K3 has limited water largely from the discharging from discharge port 58a to 58f.Be illustrated among Figure 16 with respect to the variation relation of water level HW about the compensation value K3 of threshold value H1 and H2.In the example shown in this, compensation value K3 is along with water level HW increases from the rising of threshold value H1, and after water level HW arrives threshold value H2 the value of being fixed as 1.When importing water level HW greater than threshold value H2, routine is with compensation value K3 value of being set at 1 (step S116) and set export-restriction with the output (step S118) of restriction from fuel cells 22.The export-restriction of fuel cells 22 will be controlled not shown terminal bonded assembly DC/DC changer and other related elements with fuel cells 22, replenish insufficient electric power with restriction from the output of fuel cells 22 and from storage battery 84.The export-restriction of fuel cells 22 has reduced the water yield that is produced by fuel cells in the time per unit, has prevented effectively that thus returnable 54 from reaching its full-water level.
After having set compensation value K3, setting value, the compensation value K1 and the K2 of input and the product (step S120) that is worth 100 that routine is set at compensation value K3 with valve opening Al and the Ar of blowoff valve 56a to 56f, and verify the setting value (step S122) that left bank is put mandatory forbidding sign FL1 to FL3 subsequently.Put any setting value among the mandatory forbidding sign FL1 to FL3 when equaling 1 when left bank, routine is set at 0% (step S124) with the aperture Al of left blowoff valve 56a, 56c and 56e.On the other hand, when all left banks were put mandatory forbidding sign FL1 to FL3 and all equaled 0, the current setting of the aperture Al of left blowoff valve 56a, 56c and 56e remained unchanged.Routine is verified the setting value (step S126) of right discharging mandatory forbidding sign FR1 to FR3 subsequently.When any the setting value among the right side discharging mandatory forbidding sign FR1 to FR3 equaled 1, routine was set at 0% (step S128) with the aperture Ar of right blowoff valve 56b, 56d and 56f.On the other hand, when all right side discharging mandatory forbidding sign FR1 to FR3 equaled 0, the current setting of the aperture Ar of right blowoff valve 56b, 56d and 56f remained unchanged.After the setting of finishing the valve opening Al to Ar of blowoff valve 56a to 56f, the actuator that routine drives blowoff valve 56a to 56f is adjusted to the setting value (step S130) of valve opening Al and Ar with the aperture with blowoff valve 56a to 56f, stops this routine then.When left bank is put among the mandatory forbidding sign FL1 to FL3 any one when equaling 1, the aperture Al of left blowoff valve 56a, 56c and 56e is set at equals 0% to forbid the discharging of water from left bank mouth of a river 58a, 58c and 58e.When among the right side discharging mandatory forbidding sign FR1 to FR3 any one equals 1, the aperture Ar of right blowoff valve 56b, 56d and 56f is set at equals 0% to forbid the discharging of water from right discharge port 58b, 58d and 58f.This set has been eliminated effectively in the possible adverse effect that break away to suppress under the control wheel side sliding, suppressed to make may the breakking away of outer wheel of Ackermann steer angle, and prevented that as desired drain water from spattering near any on the object at the driver's operation bearing circle.
As mentioned above, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment according to motoring condition, the surrounding environment of vehicle, get on the bus or get off and vehicle near the state of any obstacle, suitably discharge the water that produces by fuel cells 22.The fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment is brought into play multiple effect thus: (1) prevent from discharge port 58a to 58f drain water roll by vehicle ' wind and disperse and spatter any travel in the back or the front window of the vehicle of side on effect; (2) suppress owing to the effect that deceleration and stopping performance may be worsened from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge water; (3) prevent because water forms the effect of the puddles of water in the left side of crossing from discharge port 58a to 58f discharge; (4) prevent to spatter effect on chaufeur of getting on the bus or getting off or passenger from the water of discharge port 58a to 58f discharging; (5) in the effect that break away to suppress to eliminate under the control to the possible adverse effect of wheel side sliding; (6) be suppressed at the effect that may break away that the driver's operation bearing circle makes the outer wheel of Ackermann steer angle; And (7) prevent that drain water from spattering near effect on the object any.
In the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment, vehicle velocity V a and acceleration alpha according to vehicle, wind speed Vw, external air temperature Ta, the brake switch signal SWB of the state of expression brake switch 107, the accumulated snow mode switching signal SWS of expression accumulated snow mode switch 110, the sideslip inhibition control information that expression is breakked away and suppressed controlled condition, turn condition based on deflection angle θ and vehicle velocity V a, distance L fl between four angles of vehicle and the object, Lfr, Lrl and Lrr, with follow-up vehicle distances Lv, on-off switch signal SWD1 to SWD4 and the estimated possibility of getting on or off the bus of Parking on-off signal SWP in response to door, the water level HW of returnable 54 and from the raindrop detection signal SWR of sensor for detecting rain 102 sets the aperture Al of blowoff valve 56a to 56f and Ar to regulate the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f.Yet these inputs, calculating and estimation are not restrictive.In addition, can be according to the driving condition, surrounding environment of expression vehicle, vehicle may regulate the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f with any input, calculating and the estimation of the state of any obstacle up and down.To water from the adjusting of discharge port 58a to 58f discharging can be not whole according to these inputs, calculating (result) and estimation, but can import, calculate according to these and estimate in some appropriate combination, perhaps according to these inputs, calculate and by some the appropriate combination in the estimation of another kind of technology.
Be not more than at vehicle velocity V a under the condition of threshold value Va1, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment changes coefficient of correction Kva continuously with respect to vehicle velocity V a, so that reduce the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a.Yet requirement is that the variation of coefficient of correction Kva makes and to reduce the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a.Thus, coefficient of correction Kva can set for respect to vehicle velocity V a staged ground and change.When vehicle velocity V a was not more than threshold value Va1, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment was set coefficient of correction Kva along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a for is reduced the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f.As vehicle velocity V a during, discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 set for equal 1 to forbid the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f greater than threshold value Va1.Simpler modification can allow the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f under vehicle velocity V a is not more than the condition of threshold value Va1, forbid the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f simultaneously under the condition of vehicle velocity V a greater than threshold value Va1.Be not more than at vehicle velocity V a under the condition of threshold value Va1, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment is set coefficient of correction Kva along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a for is reduced the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f.Another possible modification can be set water corresponding to vehicle velocity V a and discharge in the setting range of higher limit from higher limit and the permission water that discharge port 58a to 58f discharges.Preferably, this higher limit reduces along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a.Also a kind of possible modification can be according to the motoring condition of vehicle velocity V a difference vehicle and the halted state of vehicle, and regulate water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f so that be less than the discharging of water under halted state in the discharging of water under the motoring condition.The program of this modification can be set under halted state and the motoring condition from the corresponding higher limit of the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f water, and allows in the setting range of the higher limit under corresponding states water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f.Another kind of possible modification can be according to the motoring condition of vehicle velocity V a difference vehicle and the halted state of vehicle, and regulate water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f so that be less than the water that under motoring condition, produces by fuel cells 22 in the discharging of water under the motoring condition, regulate simultaneously water from the discharging of discharge port 58a to 58f so that in the discharging of water under the halted state greater than the water that under halted state, produces by fuel cells 22.
Be not more than in acceleration alpha under the condition of threshold alpha 1, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment changes coefficient of correction K α linearly with respect to acceleration alpha, so that reduce the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f along with the increase of acceleration alpha.Yet requirement is that the variation of coefficient of correction K α makes and to reduce the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f along with the increase of acceleration alpha.Thus, coefficient of correction K α can set for respect to acceleration alpha staged ground and change.When acceleration alpha was not more than threshold alpha 1, the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment was set coefficient of correction K α for and is reduced the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f along with the increase of acceleration alpha.When acceleration alpha during, discharging mandatory forbidding sign F1 set for equal 1 to forbid the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f greater than threshold alpha 1.Simpler modification can allow the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f under acceleration alpha is not more than the condition of threshold alpha 1, forbid the discharging of water from discharge port 58a to 58f simultaneously under the condition of acceleration alpha greater than threshold alpha 1.

B. second embodiment
Below explanation is as the another kind of fuel-cell vehicle 210 of the moving body of second embodiment of the invention.Figure 17 is the birds-eye view that the floor plan of the device on the fuel-cell vehicle 210 that is installed in second embodiment is shown.Figure 18 is the system diagram that schematically shows the structure of the fuel cell system 220 on the fuel-cell vehicle 210 that is installed in second embodiment.Shown in Figure 17 and 18, except the direction-changeable outlet 260 of the discharge end that is arranged in the waste pipe 51 that is included in fuel cell system 220, the fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment has the structure of the structure of the fuel-cell vehicle 10 that is similar to first embodiment.Set forth for fear of repeating, the identical member in the fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment and the fuel-cell vehicle 10 first embodiment is represented with identical label, and is not specified at this.
With reference to Figure 17 and 18, the waste gas that is separated by gas-liquid separator 48 flows to the rear side (that is, the right lateral side of vehicle) of the rear wheel behind the driver's seat by waste pipe 51, and is discharged into atmosphere by direction-changeable outlet 260.Figure 19 schematically shows the structure of the direction-changeable outlet 260 of the discharge end that is positioned at waste pipe 51.Figure 20 illustrates the work of direction-changeable outlet 260.Go out as shown, direction-changeable outlet 260 comprises: stationary pipes 262, this stationary pipes 262 have the cutting end of about miter angle and are arranged to basic horizontal and directionally connect waste pipe 51; Short movable tubes 264, this weak point movable tubes 264 have be used for the about miter angle of stationary pipes 262 bonded assemblys be connected the cutting end; Motor 268, this motor as an actuator job shown in Figure 20 (a) and 20 (b), in about 90 angle, to rotate movable tubes 264.The edge of the edge of the connection cutting end of movable tubes 264 and the cutting end of stationary pipes 262 is fixed on the turning cylinder 266 of motor 268.The vapoury waste gas that flows through waste pipe 51 is along the direction discharging of movable tubes 264, wherein adjusting in the angle of the direction of movable tubes 264 between the horizontal direction of the vertical downward direction of Figure 20 (a) and Figure 20 (b).As in Figure 17 and 19, being clearly shown that, because the angle of the side of movable tubes 264 and vehicle is about 45 degree, so the moving direction of movable tubes 264 has along the component of the horizontal and backward directions of vehicle.During vehicle ', waste gas from be in make movable tubes 264 towards horizontal direction layout (just, have along vehicle laterally and the state of Figure 20 (b) of the component of backward directions) direction-changeable outlet 260 discharges.The waste gas that is separated by gas-liquid separator 48 contains steam.The part of steam is discharged from direction-changeable outlet 260 in liquefaction before direction-changeable outlet 260 is discharged and with waste gas.Liquefy and export 260 drain waters from direction-changeable and flow to rear view of vehicle (tiltedly rear) obliquely with waste gas.By vehicle ' wind that vehicle ' caused or windstream along vehicle width latter half of-especially in the rear portion of vehicle central authorities-strong relatively.Along with the increase vehicle ' wind action with the vehicular sideview distance reduces.Thus, waste gas obliquely behind car discharging reduce vehicle ' wind as desired to effect with the waste gas drain water, and prevent that thus drain water from being rolled by vehicle ' wind.Waste gas obliquely behind car discharging reduced with the waste gas drain water and be contained in the steam and the ground-surface relative velocity of the liquefaction in the waste gas of discharge.Water droplet and ground-surface relative velocity big more, the degree that then causes water droplet to spatter on the road surface is big more.Thus, reduce drain water and liquefaction water and ground-surface relative velocity and reduce the amount that water spills effectively.This set has prevented drain water well because as the disturbance of vehicle ' wind and rolled-up before the arrival road surface.Make movable tubes 264 face that discharging waste gas has as above advantage in being provided with of the oblique rear of vehicle.On the other hand, when vehicle stopped, waste gas was discharged from the direction-changeable outlet 260 that makes movable tubes 264 layout vertically downward.Because movable tubes 264 is vertically downward, the discharging vertically downward in the profile of vehicle of waste gas and liquefaction water.This layout prevented effectively liquefaction water trickle down near any pedestrian the vehicle.This make movable tubes 264 vertically downward layout in exhaust gas discharging have this advantage.
As the electronic control unit 71 of first embodiment, the electronic control unit 271 that is contained among the PCU70 has CPU272, ROM273 and RAM274.Electronic control unit 271 is by the vehicle velocity V a of its input processing circuit input from car speed sensor 101, from the charge air Qa of mass flowmeter 43 with from the electric current I fc of the unshowned lead-out terminal that is connected to fuel cells 22 with the amperemeter/ammtr 114 of the outgoing current of detection fuel cells 22.Electronic control unit 271 passes through its output processing circuit to motor 268 output drive signals.
The sequence of operations that supplies the waste gas of heat-extraction system 40 from the air of fuel cell system 220 is especially discharged in sequence of operations in the fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment that the following describes at above-mentioned structure.Figure 21 illustrates the control waste gas carried out by electronic control unit 271 diagram of circuit from the emission direction control routine of the emission direction of direction-changeable outlet 260.Repeat this routine with preset time interval (for example, per 20 milliseconds).
When beginning emission direction control routine, the CPU272 of electronic control unit 271 at first imports the needed data of control, for example, vehicle velocity V a from car speed sensor 101, from the electric current I fc of amperemeter/ammtr 114 with from the charge air Qa (step S400) of mass flowmeter 43, and calculate the water yield Qfc (step S402) that produces by fuel cells 22 according to the electric current I fc of input.The outgoing current of fuel cells 22 (electric current I fc) is proportional with the mol wt of reaction in fuel cells 22.Thus, the water yield Qfc that is produced can easily be calculated by received current Ifc.
After calculating the water yield Qfc of generation, routine is according to the water yield Qfc of the generation of being calculated, and the charge air Qa of the vehicle velocity V a of input and input sets coefficient of correction Pqfc continuously, Pva and Pqa (step S404 to S408).Then, routine is set at coefficient of correction Pqfc with discharge angles Θ, and the product (step S410) and the setting value (step S412) of driven motor 268 to reach discharge angles Θ of the setting value of Pva and Pqa and value 90 stop this routine then.Coefficient of correction Pqfc, Pva and Pqa are used for determining the angle of the movable tubes 264 of direction-changeable outlet 260, and to be set in expression exhaust gas discharging direction value 0 and expression emission direction vertically downward be between the value 1 of horizontal direction.Figure 22,23 and 24 diagram of curves illustrate the variation of coefficient of correction Pqfc with respect to the water yield Qfc that produces respectively, and coefficient of correction Pva is with respect to the variation of vehicle velocity V a and the coefficient of correction Pqa variation with respect to charge air Qa.As shown in figure 22, with respect to the water yield Qfc that produces, coefficient of correction Pqfc sets for along with the increase of the water yield Qfc that produces to be increased.This is attributable to such fact, i.e. the increase of the water yield Qfc of Chan Shenging causes exporting from direction-changeable with waste gas the increase of the amount of 260 drain water amounts and liquefaction water.Water prevents to be rolled and splash on the road surface by vehicle ' wind before drain water from arriving the road surface to discharging behind the car obliquely effectively.As shown in figure 23, with respect to vehicle velocity V a, coefficient of correction Pva sets for along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a to be increased.This is attributable to such fact, and promptly higher vehicle velocity V a produces bigger vehicle ' wind effect.As shown in figure 24, with respect to charge air Qa, coefficient of correction Pqa sets for along with the increase of charge air Qa and reduces.This is attributable to such fact, and promptly higher charge air Qa has improved the discharge speed of useless G﹠W.Thus, charge air Qa can be replaced by the flow (flow rate, flow rate) of the waste gas that passes through waste pipe 51.Discharge angles Θ equals 0 when movable tubes 264 is arranged vertically downward, and equals 90 when movable tubes 264 along continuous straight runs are arranged.As well-known from the diagram of curves of Figure 22 to Figure 24, with compare with coefficient of correction Pqa with respect to the coefficient of correction Pqfc of the water yield Qfc that produces with respect to charge air Qa, the program of second embodiment will be set at respect to the coefficient of correction Pva of vehicle velocity V a has bigger effect.This is because vehicle ' wind influences the behavior of the described drain water that is dispersed and roll significantly.Discharge angles Θ is thus as the setting value according to vehicle velocity V a, and this setting value utilization supplies the charge air Qa of heat-extraction system 40 to proofread and correct by water yield Qfc and the air that fuel cells 22 produces.Simple adjustment to the direction of movable tubes 264 guarantees that waste gas suitably discharges with water.
As mentioned above, according to vehicle velocity V a, by the water yield Qfc of fuel cells 22 generations and the charge air Qa of air confession heat-extraction system 40, the fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment guarantees that waste gas suitably discharges with water.Under the condition of high vehicle velocity V a, waste gas discharges in that movable tubes 264 is faced in the layout at the oblique rear of vehicle.This layout prevents to be rolled by vehicle ' wind before arriving the road surface and disperse with waste gas drain water and the steam that is contained in the liquefaction in the waste gas of discharge effectively, suppresses to spatter water on the road surface simultaneously and is rolled by vehicle ' wind and disperse.In response to a large amount of water Qfc that produces by fuel cells 22, discharge angles is corrected into makes movable tubes 264 face the oblique rear of vehicle.Even when steam liquefaction relatively large in the waste gas that relatively large water is discharged along with waste gas or discharged, the anti-effectively sealing of this correction was rolled by vehicle ' wind before arriving the road surface and is dispersed, and suppressed to spatter water on the road surface simultaneously and was rolled by vehicle ' wind and disperse., discharge angles is corrected into makes movable tubes 264 vertically downward for the upper air current amount Qa of heat-extraction system 40 in response to air.This correction has improved from the discharge speed of the useless G﹠W of direction-changeable outlet 260 and anti-effectively sealing laterally or backward flows.On the other hand, under the condition of low vehicle velocity V a, waste gas discharges in making movable tubes 264 layout vertically downward.Thus, waste gas and liquefaction water discharging vertically downward in the profile of vehicle.This layout has prevented that as desired drain water from trickling down near any pedestrian the vehicle.
The fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment is according to vehicle velocity V a, water yield Qfc that is produced by fuel cells 22 and air are regulated the exhaust gas discharging direction of being separated by gas-liquid separator 48 for the charge air Qa of heat-extraction system 40, and the direction-changeable of the emission direction after be arranged to regulate exports 260 discharging waste gas.A kind of improvement structure can not have gas-liquid separator 48, but can under the situation of not carrying out gas-liquid separation, export blow down gas 260 from direction-changeable, this direction-changeable outlet 260 is arranged on according to vehicle velocity V a, the water yield Qfc of generation and charge air Qa and on the emission direction adjusted.Another kind of improve structure can according to vehicle velocity V a regulate water-by gas-liquid separator 48 that separate and be accumulated in water in the returnable 54-emission direction and from the direction-changeable outlet that is arranged in adjusted emission direction discharge water.
The fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment is according to vehicle velocity V a, the water yield Qfc that is produced by fuel cells 22 supplies the charge air Qa of heat-extraction system 40 to regulate the exhaust gas discharging direction of being separated by gas-liquid separator 48 with air, and discharging waste gas the outlet 260 of the direction-changeable of the emission direction after being arranged in adjusting.A kind of possible modification can only export discharging waste gas 260 according to the water yield Qfc adjusting exhaust gas discharging direction of vehicle velocity V a and generation and the direction-changeable of the emission direction after being arranged in adjusting.Another kind of possible modification can only be regulated the exhaust gas discharging direction according to vehicle velocity V a and charge air Qa, and discharging waste gas the outlet 260 of the direction-changeable of the emission direction after being arranged in adjusting.Also a kind of possible modification can be regulated the exhaust gas discharging direction in conjunction with water yield Qfc and the factor the charge air Qa except that generation according to vehicle velocity V a, and discharging waste gas the outlet 260 of the direction-changeable of the emission direction after being arranged in adjusting.Another kind of possible modification can be regulated the exhaust gas discharging direction in conjunction with the water yield Qfc, the charge air Qa that produce and another kind of factor according to vehicle velocity V a, and discharging waste gas the outlet 260 of the direction-changeable of the emission direction after being arranged in adjusting.
The fuel-cell vehicle 210 of second embodiment is according to vehicle velocity V a, water yield Qfc that produces and charge air Qa be in the lateral component and the direction of component adjusted movable tubes 264 backward, and the direction-changeable of the direction after the being arranged in adjusting outlet 260 discharging by the waste gas of gas-liquid separator 48 separation.Can be only along the direction of lateral adjustments movable tubes 264, and do not regulate along backward directions.
C. the 3rd embodiment
Below explanation is as the another kind of fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the moving body of third embodiment of the invention.Figure 25 is the birds-eye view that the floor plan of the device on the fuel-cell vehicle 310 that is installed in the 3rd embodiment is shown.As shown in figure 25, except the direction of the direction-changeable outlet 260 of the discharge end that is positioned at waste pipe 51 be adjusted to moving direction with vehicle identical, the fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the 3rd embodiment has the structure of the structure of the fuel-cell vehicle 210 that is similar to second embodiment.Set forth for fear of repeating, the identical member in the fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the 3rd embodiment and the fuel-cell vehicle 210 second embodiment is represented with identical label, and is not specified at this.
In the fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the 3rd embodiment, electronic control unit 271 is carried out the emission direction control routine of Figure 26, rather than the emission direction control routine of Figure 21.The emission direction control routine of Figure 26 is at first imported from the vehicle velocity V a of car speed sensor 101 with from the charge air Qa (step S420) of mass flowmeter 43, and calculates exhaust gas discharging flow velocity Vg from direction-changeable outlet 260 according to the charge air Qa of input.As mentioned above, charge air Qa is convertible into the flow (flow velocity) of the waste gas of being discharged by fuel cells 22.Thus, the discharging cross-sectional plane calculating by direction-changeable outlet 260 exports 260 exhaust gas discharging flow velocity Vg from direction-changeable.Then, routine is calculated the relative vehicle velocity V r (step S424) of road pavement by the vehicle velocity V a of input.Then, routine is set discharge angles Θ (step S426) and the setting value (step S428) of driven motor 268 to reach discharge angles Θ according to relative vehicle velocity V r that is calculated and the discharge speed Vg that is calculated, and stops this routine then.Figure 27 illustrates with respect to the relative vehicle velocity V r of road pavement and the discharge angles Θ of discharge speed Vg.Discharge angles Θ represents the angle that the relative vehicle velocity V r of road pavement is offset along the component of vehicle moving direction by discharge speed Vg.This control has been eliminated along the speed component of vehicle moving direction for the ground-surface relative velocity from the waste gas and the water of discharging from direction-changeable outlet 260, only stays along the speed component with respect to the ground-surface vertical direction.Be that water is along discharging from direction-changeable outlet 260 perpendicular to the ground-surface direction.This layout has been eliminated drain water along the speed component with respect to the ground-surface horizontal direction, prevents from effectively thus that drain water is scattered on the road surface and is suppressed at the water that splashes on the road surface to be rolled by vehicle ' wind.
As mentioned above, according to from the exhaust gas discharging flow velocity Vg of direction-changeable outlet 260 and the relative vehicle velocity V r of road pavement, fuel-cell vehicle 310 dischargings of the 3rd embodiment only have along the useless G﹠W of the speed component of vertical downward direction.This control prevents that effectively drain water from being rolled by vehicle ' wind dispersing on the road surface and be suppressed at the water that splashes on the road surface.
The fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the 3rd embodiment changes the direction of the movable tubes 264 of direction-changeables outlet 260, to have from direction-changeable outlet 260 dischargings with respect to the road surface only along the useless G﹠W of the speed component of vertical downward direction.A kind of possible modification can not change the emission direction of useless G﹠W, only has along the useless G﹠W of the speed component of vertical downward direction with discharging but can change exhaust emission flow velocity Vg.In the improvement structure shown in a kind of Figure 28 and 29, vertically be bent downwardly waste pipe 51 so that it has discharge angles Θ.End at waste pipe 51 is connected with the long-pending outlet 370 of variable cross section.The long-pending outlet 370 of variable cross section comprises the sectional area changeable mechanism 372 that is similar to camera aperture (view-finder) and is used as the motor 374 of actuator with the sectional area of change sectional area changeable mechanism 372.In this improved structure, the aperture area that execution is shown in the diagram of circuit of Figure 30 is regulated routine, with according to shown in Figure 27 with respect to the relation between the relative vehicle velocity V r of ground-surface, discharge angles Θ and the discharge speed Vg, by discharge angles Θ with calculate discharge speed Vg with respect to the relative vehicle velocity V r of ground-surface, wherein vehicle velocity V r calculates (step S430 to S434) by the vehicle velocity V a of input relatively.Then, the aperture area S that routine is set sectional area changeable mechanism 372 exports 370 discharging waste gas (step S436) to amass from variable cross section by the discharge speed Vg that calculates, and the setting value (step S438) of driven motor 374 to reach aperture area S.This improved structure only has the useless G﹠W of edge with respect to the speed component of road surface vertical downward direction from long-pending outlet 370 dischargings of variable cross section.This layout has been brought into play the effect of the fuel-cell vehicle 310 that is similar to the 3rd embodiment, prevents from effectively that drain water from dispersing and being suppressed at the water that splashes on the road surface to be rolled by vehicle ' wind on the road surface.In this improved structure, regulate discharge speed Vg by the aperture area that changes the long-pending outlet 370 of variable cross section.The another kind of structure of improving can be connected to pump and flow-controlling gate on the waste pipe 51, and by to the pressurization of waste gas with by means of flow-controlling gate discharge speed Vg being regulated in the adjusting of the flow of pressurised exhaust gas by means of pump.
The fuel-cell vehicle 310 of the 3rd embodiment according to from the exhaust gas discharging flow velocity Vg of direction-changeable outlet 260 with respect to the relative vehicle velocity V r of ground-surface, discharge the useless G﹠W that separates by gas-liquid separator 48 only to have along mode with respect to the speed component of ground-surface vertical downward direction.A kind of improvement structure can not have gas-liquid separator 48, but can discharge the waste gas that only has along with respect to road surface speed component vertically downward under the situation of not carrying out gas-liquid separation according to exhaust gas discharging flow velocity Vg and relative vehicle velocity V r.The another kind of structure of improving can be discharged the water that only has along with respect to road surface speed component vertically downward according to relative vehicle velocity V r, and this water is separated by gas-liquid separator 48 and is accumulated in the returnable 54.

In the fuel-cell vehicle 410 of the 4th embodiment, be used in humidifier 46 humidification air supplied for the waste gas from fuel cells 22 in the heat-extraction system 40 at air, and be discharged in the atmosphere through waste pipe 451 subsequently.Thus, vapoury waste gas and liquefaction water are directly discharged from waste pipe 451.
Figure 33 be illustrate with respect to be installed in electronic control unit 471 input and output among the PCU70 in order to waste gas is carried out the block scheme of the control signal of emission control.Electronic control unit 471 is configured to comprise the ROM473 of CPU472, storage processing program, temporarily stores the microprocessor of the output processing circuit 476 of the input processing circuit 475 of RAM474, receiving inputted signal of data and output signal.The vehicle velocity V a that electronic control unit 471 receives from car speed sensor 101 by input processing circuit 475, FC electric current I fc from the current sensor 423 of the lead-out terminal that is installed to fuel cells 22, from being installed to the air themperature Tin of air for the air-temperature pickup 443 of the supply side of heat-extraction system 40, from being positioned at the back pressure Pb of air near the back pressure transducer 444 the fuel cells 22 of the waste side of heat-extraction system 40, from the exhaust gas temperature sensor 453 that is installed on the waste pipe 451, the exhaust gas temperature Tout of PFE Exhaust Pressure Transducer 454 and exhaust gas flow sensor 455, exhaust gas pressure Pout and exhaust gas flow Qout, from the cooling water temperature Tw1 of the cooling-water temperature sensor 461 of the front and back of the radiator 66 that is arranged in cooling system 60 and 462 and Tw2 with from the various detection signals of the various sensors that comprise temperature sensor and pressure sensor that are arranged in hydrogen feed system 30.Electronic control unit 471 by the fan 66a of the radiator 66 of output processing circuit 476 in cooling system 60, in the cooling system 60 cooling water pump 64 and be arranged on air for back pressure regulating valve 441 output drive signals in the heat-extraction system 40.
The sequence of operations of emission control is especially carried out in sequence of operations in the fuel-cell vehicle 410 of the 4th embodiment that the following describes at above-mentioned structure for the waste gas in the heat-extraction system 40 to air.Figure 34 is the diagram of circuit that the emission control routine of being carried out by electronic control unit 471 is shown.Repeat this routine with preset time interval (for example, every several seconds).
When beginning emission control routine, the CPU472 of electronic control unit 471 at first imports the needed data of control, for example, vehicle velocity V a from car speed sensor 101, FC electric current I fc from current sensor 423, from the exhaust gas temperature Tout of exhaust gas temperature sensor 453, from the exhaust gas pressure Pout of PFE Exhaust Pressure Transducer 454 with from the exhaust gas flow Qout (step S500) of exhaust gas flow sensor 455.Routine is one after the other calculated the water yield Qfc (generating the amount of water) (step S502) that time per unit is produced by fuel cells 22 by input FC electric current I fc, calculate the discharge of steam amount Qw1 (step 504) that the expression time per unit is discharged from waste pipe 451 by input exhaust gas temperature Tout, input exhaust gas pressure Pout and input exhaust gas flow Qout, deduct expression time per unit that the discharge of steam amount Qw1 that calculated calculates displacement Qw2 (step S506) with the amount of liquid water form discharging by water yield Qfc from the generation of being calculated with the amount of vapor form.The saturated vapor pressure of the program utilization of this embodiment under exhaust gas temperature Tout comes calculation of steam quantity discharged Qw1.As mentioned above, can calculate the water yield Qfc of generation by FC electric current I fc.
Routine is set amount (permission displacement) Qwref (step S508) that allows to be discharged into the aqueous water in the atmosphere based on vehicle velocity V a subsequently.In the structure of the 4th embodiment, reduce allowing displacement Qwref to set for along with the increase of vehicle velocity V a.Set in advance and allow displacement Qwref to be stored among the ROM473 as permission displacement setting figure with respect to the variation relation of vehicle velocity V a and with it.The program of the 4th embodiment reads and sets the permission displacement Qwref corresponding to given vehicle velocity V a from allow displacement setting figure.Figure 35 shows an example that allows displacement setting figure.
Then, routine target setting battery temperature Tfc *Eliminating the displacement Qw2 calculated and to allow poor (step S510) between the displacement Qwref, and with target battery temperature T fc *Setting value be limited in the scope between temperature upper limit Tmax and the lowest temperature value Tmin (step S512).The back pressure of routine control cooling system 60 and fuel cells 22 is with the target battery temperature T fc in the scope that is limited between temperature upper limit Tmax and the lowest temperature value Tmin *Following driving fuel battery pack 22 (step S514) stops this routine then.By the running temperature elimination displacement Qw2 of change fuel cells 22 and the difference between the permission displacement Qwref.This is because the variation of the running temperature of fuel cells 22 has changed from the temperature of air for the waste gas of heat-extraction system 40, and has changed discharge of steam amount Qw1 thus.When displacement Qw2 when allowing displacement Qwref, target battery temperature T fc *Be improved, thus the temperature of the waste gas that raise.The temperature build-up of waste gas has increased discharge of steam amount Qw1, but has reduced displacement Qw2.On the other hand, when displacement Qw2 when allowing displacement Qwref, target battery temperature T fc *Reduce, thereby reduced the temperature of waste gas.The drop in temperature of waste gas has reduced discharge of steam amount Qw1, but has increased displacement Qw2.By in response to by cooling-water temperature sensor 461 detected temperature the rotating speed to the fan 66a of radiator 66 regulate, and by in response to the discharge capacity of cooling water pump 64 being regulated by cooling-water temperature sensor 461 detected temperature, can be at target battery temperature T fc *Following driving fuel battery pack 22.Also can be by regulating back pressure regulating valve 441 air of fuel metering battery pack 22 for the back pressure in the heat-extraction system 40, realize that fuel cells 22 is at target battery temperature T fc *Under operation.This is owing to such fact, i.e. the increase of the back pressure of fuel cells 22 causes the higher emissions temperature of air compressor 44.The rising of the exhaust temperature of air compressor 44 has increased the wettability (humidification rate) of humidifier 46, thereby changes displacement Qw2 significantly.The control of fuel cells 22 back pressures is caused the adjusting of the wettability in the humidifier 46 and therefore eliminates displacement Qw2 and allow difference between the displacement Qwref.
As mentioned above, the running temperature of the fuel-cell vehicle 410 fuel metering battery pack 22 of the 4th embodiment, with elimination displacement Qw2 with corresponding to the difference between the permission displacement Qwref of vehicle velocity V a setting, wherein displacement Qw2 obtains by deducting discharge of steam amount Qw1 from the water yield Qfc that produces.The adjusting of this running temperature makes from the amount of the aqueous water of waste pipe 451 discharges and equals to allow displacement Qwref.Set to allow displacement Qwref corresponding to vehicle velocity V a, so as to follow-up vehicle and near other vehicle almost do not have influence or influence very little.Thus, determine suitable displacement according to vehicle velocity V a.
The fuel-cell vehicle 410 of the 4th embodiment is with target battery temperature T fc *Set the running temperature of fuel cells 22 for, so that eliminate the difference between displacement Qw2 and the permission displacement Qwref.Also can achieve this end by changing discharge of steam amount Qw1.Thus, a kind of improved program setting is from the target temperature of the waste gas of waste pipe 451 and driving fuel battery pack 22 target temperature fixed to reach.
The fuel-cell vehicle 410 target setting battery temperature Tfc of the 4th embodiment *To eliminate the difference between displacement Qw2 and the permission displacement Qwref.Can calculate target battery temperature T fc *, so that displacement Qw2 equals to allow displacement Qwref.When displacement Qw2 under with the situation of standard (usually) temperature fuel cell operation group 22 when allowing displacement Qwref, the running temperature that changes fuel cells 22 is so that displacement Qw2 equals to allow displacement Qwref.On the other hand, displacement Qw2 is not more than when allowing displacement Qwref under with the situation of standard temperature fuel cell operation group 22, can not change the running temperature of fuel cells 22.The emission control routine of this set is shown in the diagram of circuit of Figure 36.After having set permission displacement Qwref, displacement Qw2 that this routine comparison is calculated and permission displacement Qwref (step S520).When displacement Qw2 when allowing displacement Qwref, routine is determined target battery temperature T fc *Whether equal standard temperature (step S524).As target battery temperature T fc *When equaling standard temperature, routine is according to exhaust gas pressure Pout, and exhaust gas flow Qout and permission displacement Qwref reset target battery temperature T fc *, so that displacement Qw2 equals to allow displacement Qwref (step S526).Target battery temperature T fc *Setting be subject to temperature upper limit Tmax (step S528).Then, the back pressure of routine control cooling system 60 and fuel cells 22 is with at the target battery temperature T fc that is subjected to temperature upper limit Tmax restriction *Following driving fuel battery pack 22 (step S530).As target battery temperature T fc in step S524 *When being not equal to standard temperature, routine assertive goal battery temperature Tfc *Set for and made displacement Qw2 equal to allow displacement Qwref.Therefore, the back pressure of routine control cooling system 60 and fuel cells 22 is with at current goal battery temperature Tfc *Setting value under driving fuel battery pack 22 (step S530).When displacement Qw2 was not more than permission displacement Qwref, the routine identification there is no need to reduce displacement Qw2 by the running temperature of rising fuel cells 22.Therefore, routine is with target battery temperature T fc *The back pressure of setting standard temperature (step S522) and control cooling system 60 and fuel cells 22 for is with at target battery temperature T fc *Following driving fuel battery pack 22 (step S530).When displacement Qw2 is not more than permission displacement Qwref, this improved program driving fuel battery pack 22 under standard temperature.This layout guarantees that the high electric power of fuel cells 22 produces efficient.
In the fuel-cell vehicle 410 of the 4th embodiment, adopt multiple technologies with at target battery temperature T fc *Following driving fuel battery pack 22: promptly in response to the technology of the rotating speed of the fan 66a of radiator 66 being regulated by the temperature of cooling-water temperature sensor 461 detections; In response to the technology of the discharge capacity of cooling water pump 64 being regulated by cooling-water temperature sensor 461 detected temperature; Adjusting back pressure regulating valve 441 supplies the technology of the back pressure in the heat-extraction system 40 with the air of fuel metering battery pack 22.Any or any two that can adopt these technology are with at target battery temperature T fc *Following driving fuel battery pack 22.
In the fuel-cell vehicle 410 of the 4th embodiment, from the waste gas of fuel cells 22 only by humidifier 46 and in gas-liquid separator, do not carry out directly being discharged in the atmosphere under the situation of gas-liquid separation.Yet, as the fuel-cell vehicle 10 of first embodiment, from the waste gas of fuel cells 22 can be in being discharged to atmosphere before by gas-liquid separator 48.In this improved layout, control makes the amount of the liquid water separated by gas-liquid separator 48 equal to allow displacement Qwref.

Figure 37 schematically shows the structure of the vehicle 1010 in the fifth embodiment of the invention.This vehicle 1010 has the fuel cell/fuel cells 1020 that is arranged in rear portion fuel cell chamber 1012 as electric power source, and by the power driven of motor 1030.Motor 1030 can be any multi-form motor, but is synchronous motor in the present embodiment.Inverter 1031 is used for converting the direct current (DC) from these fuel cells 1020 outputs to three plase alternating current.By three-phase alternating current electric drive motor 1030.The power of motor 1030 is delivered to wheel 1033 with powered vehicle 1010 by rotating shaft 1032.
This fuel cells 1020 produces electric power by the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.This fuel cells 1020 can be any multi-form fuel cell, but is polymer electrolyte fuel cells in the present embodiment.By oxygen electrode or the negative electrode supply air of supply line 1024 to fuel cells 1020.Subsequently, by supply line 1022 from a plurality of fuel tanks 1050 of being arranged in roof fuel tank chamber 1011 hydrogen electrode or anode supply hydrogen to fuel cells 1020.
Control unit 1040 control is installed in the inverter 1031 on the vehicle 1010 and the operation of other device.Control unit 1040 is constructed to the microprocessor that comprises CPU, ROM and RAM.Control unit 1040 is according to control program control each device and the demonstration on the instrument face plate 1060 that is positioned at operating seat 1014 places of being stored among the ROM.
The exhaust system of negative electrode in the fuel cell chamber 1012 has been shown in the amplification diagrammatic sketch of bottom.Cathode exhaust from the negative electrode of fuel cells 1020 comprises by the water that electrochemical reaction produced that is used to generate electricity.Cathode exhaust flows to gas-liquid separator 1021 carrying out gas-liquid separation by pipeline 1024P, and discharges from freeing pipe 1025.The water that is separated is by discharge port 1026 and accumulate in the dashpot 1027 that is arranged in vehicle 1010 belows.The water of accumulating in dashpot 1027 is discharged to atmosphere by exhaust tube 1028.Exhaust tube 1028 is arranged on the place ahead of dashpot 1027.The bottom surface of dashpot 1027 tilts to be used for smoothly from exhaust tube 1028 discharge waters from higher rear end towards lower front end.The open end of exhaust tube 1028 height H (hereinafter being called " open end height ") overhead is set to low fully, and drain water from being rolled by windstream during vehicle 1010 travels and dispersing to prevent.
In the structure of present embodiment, not by above-mentioned exhaust system, but be recycled to feed pipe 1022 to effectively utilize the remaining hydrogen that do not consume to generate electricity from the anode waste gas of anode.Anode waste gas from anode also can be discharged from exhaust system with cathode exhaust.
Figure 38 illustrates the function of dashpot 1027.Vehicle 1010 is in halted state in Figure 38 (a).Under this state, the water of accumulating in dashpot 1027 is discharged to outside vehicle from exhaust tube 1028.When vehicle 1010 is in halted state, there is not water to be rolled by windstream and disperse.
In Figure 38 (b), vehicle 1010 is in acceleration mode.Under this state, the water of accumulating in dashpot 1027 is pressed backward by the force of inertia " A " that quickens to cause.This makes the water surface leave the joint of exhaust tube 1028, thus and the discharging of inhibition water.The possibility of dispersing that the discharging of water is suppressed to have reduced institute's drain water that the windstream that produces owing to under-vehicle causes.
In Figure 38 (c), vehicle 1010 is in deceleration regime.Under this state, the water of accumulating in dashpot 1027 is pressed forward by the force of inertia " A " that is caused by deceleration.This helps from exhaust tube 1028 discharge waters.The windstream that under-vehicle produces weakens because of deceleration, thereby reduces dispersing of institute's drain water relatively.The open end height of exhaust tube 1028 is arranged to suppress the abundant low height that disperses of institute's drain water ideally under deceleration regime.
As mentioned above, in the vehicle 1010 of the 5th embodiment, being arranged on the dashpot 1027 in the exhaust system and the effect of exhaust tube 1028 is the dischargings that can suppress water under the acceleration mode effectively, helps the discharging of water under the deceleration regime.During travelling usually, vehicle often repeats to quicken and slows down not travel continuously under fixing cruising speed.Thereby, help the discharging of water under the deceleration regime and suppress this set of the discharging of water under the acceleration mode, dispersing of institute's drain water during travelling can be reduced to can not influence follow-up and near the degree of smooth-ride of vehicle.
F. the 6th embodiment
Figure 39 illustrates the structure of the exhaust system of the sixth embodiment of the present invention.The structure of the 6th embodiment has an exhaust tube 1028A who has leaf valve (lead valve) 1028V below dashpot 1027.The effect of leaf valve 1028V be during vehicle ' in response to the fluctuation of pressure pressure (punching press, ram pressure) of windstream, that is, open and close in response to the pressure that stops windstream.
The diagram of curves of bottom illustrates the effect of leaf valve 1028V.Make windstream (speed) strengthen along with the car speed increase and disperse more tempestuously from exhaust tube 1028A drain water.When car speed surpasses prescribed level Vr, because there is the possibility of the smooth-ride that influences follow-up and near vehicle, so require to suppress dispersing of water droplet.The program of this embodiment is set at the design speed Vd that disperses that is used to suppress water droplet with the value lower slightly than prescribed level Vr.
Square increase pro rata of fluctuation of pressure pressure and car speed is shown in curve P.This curve P provides one and the corresponding fluctuation of pressure pressure P of design speed Vd d.In the structure of this embodiment, regulate the operating pressure of leaf valve 1028V, so that leaf valve 1028V opens in response to the fluctuation of pressure pressure less than value Pd, and close in response to the fluctuation of pressure pressure of the value of being not less than Pd.
In the vehicle of the 6th embodiment, this being adjusted in when car speed surpasses design speed Vd closed leaf valve 1028V fully to stop the discharging of water.This set suppresses to influence the dispersing of institute's drain water of degree of the smooth-ride of follow-up and near vehicle effectively.
In the structure of the 6th embodiment, exhaust tube 1028A is positioned at the below of dashpot 1027.Exhaust tube 1028A also can be positioned at the place ahead of dashpot 1027, as the structure of the 5th embodiment.When surpassing design speed Vd, car speed needn't close leaf valve 1028V fully.This mechanism can reduce the aperture of leaf valve 1028V continuously or by stages according to car speed.
The leaf valve 1028V of the 6th embodiment can be replaced by electromagnetic valve.This distressed structure also can comprise the control unit in order to the operation of control electromagnetic valve in addition.This control unit reduces the aperture of electromagnetic valve or closes electromagnetic valve fully when car speed surpasses design speed Vd.
Figure 40 illustrates the structure of another exhaust system of a variation.In this modified example, the bottom surface of dashpot 1027A tilts towards lower rear end from higher front end with a height L.Even this inclination makes the water of accumulating in dashpot 1027A also will leave exhaust tube 1028 under the stabilized conditions shown in Figure 40 (a), thus the discharging of inhibition water.This set has suppressed the discharging of the water during vehicle stabilization travels effectively, thereby and has reduced dispersing of institute's drain water.
When vehicle is in acceleration mode following time, force of inertia " A " is used to suppress the discharging of water, shown in Figure 40 (b).On the other hand, when vehicle is in deceleration regime following time, force of inertia " A " thus be used for pushing the water of being accumulated forward and the discharging that promotes water, shown in Figure 40 (c).Travelling of vehicle generally includes section deceleration time.Thereby during stable travelling to the inhibition of the discharging of water can be to dashpot 1027A in accumulating of water cause damage.
Figure 41 illustrates the structure of the another exhaust system of another modified example.In this modified example, the rigidity exhaust tube 1028B of front opening is installed on the dashpot 1027.In shown this example, the sectional area S0 of the front opening of exhaust tube 1028B greater than with the sectional area S1 of the joint of dashpot 1027.Exhaust tube 1028B also can form has identical sectional area S0 and the drum of S1.
In the structure of this modified example, during vehicle ' to the exhaust tube 1028B fluctuating pressure of exerting pressure.The water of accumulating in dashpot 1027A flows forward to flow out exhaust tube 1028B.The outflow of fluctuation of pressure pressure restraining water.In the structure of this modified example, the effect of fluctuation of pressure pressure has suppressed the discharging of water during running at high speed effectively.
Lower curve illustrates the influence of sectional area ratio example S0/S1 to the discharging of inhibition water.Suppose as the lower limit Vr of the car speed of discharging that need to have considered to suppress water with reference to the described content of structure of the 6th embodiment and set design speed Vd.Curve P provides the cooresponding fluctuation of pressure pressure Pa with design speed Vd.In order to suppress the discharging of water, the fluctuation of pressure pressure Pa is greater than the hydraulic pressure of the water of accumulating in baffle-box 1028, to flow out from exhaust tube 1028B.The hydraulic pressure of the water of being accumulated changes along with the water yield of accumulating in dashpot 1027 (water level), but also can set corresponding to the average water yield of accumulating under the typical drive condition.The program of this embodiment will the value higher slightly than this cooresponding hydraulic pressure be set at the design value Pd of fluctuation of pressure pressure.
The pipe internal pressure generally changes with the variation of the sectional area of pipe.For example, the sectional area ratio S0/S1 of exhaust tube 1028B is set to be not less than 1 and will increases at the fluctuation of pressure pressure of the joint of exhaust tube 1028B and greater than the fluctuation of pressure pressure at the front opening place.In this modified example, based on pressure ratio Rd (=Pd/Pa) cooresponding sectional area ratio Sd determines the shape of exhaust tube 1028B, wherein, Pd is meant the design value of fluctuation of pressure pressure, and Pa is meant the cooresponding fluctuation of pressure pressure with design speed Vd.Thus by can suppress the discharging of water effectively to the control of fluctuation of pressure pressure.
