Abstract
An electric battery propelled vehicle control system in which a variable D.C. - high frequency - D.C. converter (10) can be used in a charging mode to charge a traction battery (14) from a mains supply (12) and rectifier (11) and can be used in a driving mode for supplying a traction motor (15) from the battery (14) by use of driver demand control (23). The same high frequency inverter in the converter is used in both modes.
Description
(54) BATTERY PROPELLED VEHICLES
(71) We, CHLORIDE GROUP LIMITED, a
Company registered under the laws of England, of 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London
SW1W OAU, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to battery propelled vehicles, and control systems for them.
According to the present invention, an electric battery-propelled vehicle control system includes an electric traction motor for propelling the vehicle, a main storage battery for supply the motor, a variable D.C.-su- personic frequency-D.C. converter and switch means having a charging position in which it connects the input of the converter to a charging source and its D.C. output to the traction battery to charge it and a driving position in which it connects the input of the converter to the traction battery, and its D.C.
output to the traction motor.
In a preferred form of the invention, the control system includes an inverter and switch means (A,B) having a charging position in which it connects the input of the converter to the output of the input rectifier and its D.C. output to the traction battery to charge it, and a driving position in which it connects the input of the converter to the traction battery and its D.C. output to the traction motor.
Thus, according to one form of the present invention, an electric battery-propelled vehicle control system includes an electric traction motor for propelling the vehicle, a main storage battery for supplying the motor, an input rectifier having input terminals for connection to an A.C. supply at a charging point and output terminals affording a D.C.
supply, and a variable D.C.-high-frequency
D.C. converter including a high frequency inverter for producing a variable output supersonic frequency supply from a D.C.
supply and an output rectifier connected through an isolating transformer to the output of the inverter, and switch means having a charging position in which it connects the input of the converter to the output of the input rectifier and its D.C.
output to the traction battery to charge it, and a driving position in which it connects the input of the converter to the traction battery and its D.C. output to the traction motor.
It has been proposed in German OLS 2645507 (British Patent Specification 1527277) to employ a power converting apparatus for operating a driving motor of a car from a battery, part of which can also be used to charge the battery from a supply. The apparatus included a transformer having a low voltage winding connected to the battery through a first inverter for driving, and through a first rectifier for charging, and a high voltage winding connected to the motor through a second rectifier for driving, and to a rectifier supply through a second inverter for charging. Thus, the low voltage winding acted as a primary winding for driving and secondary winding for charging, whereas the high voltage winding acted as a secondary winding for driving and a primary winding for charging.
In the apparatus of the present invention, the same inverter and the same rectifier are used in association with a high frequency transformer in the converter for both driving and charging.
Further features and details of the invention will be apparent from the following description of one specific embodiment that will be given by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the single figure is a block diagram of the electrical equipment of a battery-driven vehicle with an on-board charger intended to be connected to an AC supply at a vehicle charging point.
The equipment comprises a DC to DC converter 10 of supersonic frequency switched mode type incorporating an isolating transformer and an uncontrolled output rectifier bridge. The high-frequency operation of this converter makes it small and light, and enables the system to be carried on board a vehicle with minimal weight penalty when compared with a conventional chopper controller.
The converter inverts a DC input at its input terminals 21 to a supersonic frequency alternating voltage (for example at 25 KHz) whose wave form may be square, quasi square or sinusoidal and is applied to the primary winding of the isolating transformer.
The secondary winding of the transformer is connected to the output rectifier providing a
DC output at output terminals 22.
The converter 10 co-operates with an uncontrolled input rectifier bridge 11 for connection to a single phase of three-phase
AC mains supply 12 at a vehicle charging point, a traction battery 14, a traction motor 15, a voltage and current monitor unit 16, a charge control unit 17 and a motor control unit 18 responsive to a driver demand signal 23.
A multipole change-over switch has a charging position A and a driving position B.
With the switch in position A the system will operate as a battery charger with the input 21 of the converter connected to the input rectifier 11 and its output 22 connected to the traction battery 14.
The battery charging current and voltage are monitored and fed back to the light current circuitry which controls the charge characteristic. The current is varied by changing the duty cycle of the switching components in the converter. The charger is suitable for programming with any type of charge characteristic and charge termination.
With the switch in position B the circuit acts as a controller to regulate power from the battery to the traction motor in sympathy with the driver demand. The input 21 of the converter 10 is now connected to the traction battery 14 while its output 22 is connected to the traction motor 15, the mains rectifier 11 being disconnected and not used in this mode. The output voltage of the converter is varied by altering the duty cycle of the switching components according to the driver demand signal 23.
The semi-conductor devices contained in the convertor must, of course, be sufficiently highly rated to withstand both charger and controller operation. Normally maximum voltage is experienced in the charger mode whilst maximum current occurs in the controller mode.
The drawing shows a scheme for a conventional series-wpund traction motor; more sophisiticated vehicles are propelled by separately-excited machines of which the field and armature windings are supplied independently by two controllers. Either or both of these controllers may employ a supersonic frequency converter and therefore either or both may be used as the battery charger. It should be noted that in large vehicles e.g.
public service vehicles, it is often desirable to charge the battery in two halves with two separate chargers.
A further embodiment of the principle of utilising a h.f. converter in two different modes of operation may occur in the provision of the auxiliary d.c. supply on the vehicle. This d.c. supply (usually 12V or 24V) is required to power lights, windscreen washers, brake and steering pumps etc.
The converter 10 may take many.known forms.
