Description
本願は、2021年6月11日に、日本に出願された特願2021-097989号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
また、ヒートパイプを用いた冷却方法は、外部からの補助電源を用いることなくケーブルの冷却が可能となる。補助電源や補助電源用の導体による電気短絡が発生することがないので、より安全な冷却方法を提供することができる。また、従来のケーブルと比較し、ケーブル長が長い場合でも、全長に亘って適切に冷却することができる。給電ケーブルを適切に冷却することができるので、構成材料の劣化を防ぎ、製品の寿命を延ばすことができる。
さらに、給電ケーブルでは大電流を流すことが可能となるので、電気自動車を急速充電することができる。
以下、本実施形態の給電ケーブル1の構成を図面に基づいて説明する。
図1および図2に示すように、給電ケーブル1は、ヒートパイプ10と、複数の電力線20と、複数の通信コード30と、シース40とを備えている。
本実施形態では、給電ケーブル1の中心軸線に沿う方向を長手方向という。また、中心軸線に直交する横断面視において、中心軸線に直交する方向を径方向といい、中心軸線周りに周回する方向を周方向という。
図1に示すように、ヒートパイプ10は、ウイック12と、コンテナ13と、絶縁層14と、を備える。ヒートパイプ10は、コンテナ13内に封入された作動流体の潜熱を利用して熱を輸送する熱輸送素子である。
コルゲート部13aでは、コンテナ13は、径方向外側に突出した複数の凸部13a1と、径方向内側に窪んだ複数の凹部13a2と、を有しており、凸部13a1および凹部13a2は長手方向に沿って交互に形成されている。
コルゲート部13aでは、ヒートパイプ10を目的に応じて曲げることが可能になる。
絶縁層14は、熱抵抗の低い材料で形成されることが好ましい。この場合、導電線21で発生した熱をヒートパイプ10内へ効率よく伝達することができる。
ウイック12は、例えば図1に示すように、コンテナ13の内周面に沿って形成されている。ウイック12はコンテナ13の内周面のうち、周方向および長手方向の一部の領域のみに形成されていてもよい。
ウイック12は、例えば、複数本の金属細線、例えば銅細線を束ねて形成されている。銅細線は、コンテナ13の長手方向に延在する線条体である。ウイック12は、例えば、複数本の銅細線である。銅細線の外径は、例えば、数μm~数百μmである。
ウイック12は、金属細線に限らず、金属メッシュ(網状体)、および金属粉末の焼結体なども使用できる。
電力線20は、それぞれ複数の導電線21と、絶縁被覆22と、を有する。導電線21には、例えば400A以上の直流電流が流れる。
図1に示す横断面視では、各電力線20はヒートパイプ10の外周面に沿うように弧状に形成されている。また、給電ケーブル1は2本の電力線20を有し、各電力線20は、ヒートパイプ10の径方向外側においてヒートパイプ10を挟むように配置されている。
なお、1つの電力線20が有する導電線21および素線の本数は適宜変更可能である。
本実施形態では、給電ケーブル1は2本の電力線20を有し、各電力線20は、ヒートパイプ10の外周面に接するように配置されている。なお、図示は省略するが、ヒートパイプ10のコルゲート部13aが給電ケーブル1の内部に配置されている場合には、ヒートパイプ10と電力線20との間に、凹部13a2に沿って延びる隙間が形成されていてもよい。
通信コード30は、例えば給電対象物である車両と電力供給源との間の通信に用いられる。通信コード30は、ヒートパイプ10の径方向外側に配置されている。図1に示す横断面図では、2本の通信コード30が、径方向でヒートパイプ10を挟むように配置され、周方向で電力線20と同等の位置に配置されている。また、周方向において、通信コード30と電力線20とが交互に配置されている。2本の通信コード30の外径は、互いに略同等となっており、径方向における電力線20の厚さと同等になっている。
各信号線31は、例えば、給電ケーブル1のコネクタ50のロック機構の制御、給電時に点灯するLEDの電源線、コネクタ50が温度センサーを備えている場合には温度センサーの信号線などの用途に用いられる。また、信号線31の一部は給電対象物への補助給電線として使用されてもよい。
コネクタ付き給電ケーブル60は、2本の給電ケーブル1と、各給電ケーブル1の第1の端部1aに配置された給電コネクタ(以下、単にコネクタ50という)と、を備えている。
本実施形態の給電ケーブル1は、電気自動車(車両)の内部に配置され、例えば電気自動車用の充電スタンドから延びる不図示のコネクタ付きリードケーブル(electric car charging gun)と電気自動車のバッテリー100とを電気的に接続して、バッテリー100に電力を供給する際に用いられる。給電ケーブル1の長手方向の長さは、例えば0.5~1.5m程度とすることができるが、コネクタ50からバッテリー100までの長さに応じて、適宜変更できる。コネクタ50は、例えば車両の側面近傍に配置され、充電時以外は蓋(不図示)によって覆われる。
本実施形態では、一方の給電ケーブル1(第1給電ケーブル1P)の電力線20Pは、プラス電位で使用され、他方の給電ケーブル1(第2給電ケーブル1N)の電力線20Nは、マイナス電位で使用される。
コネクタ50は、複数のコネクタ端子51と、ケース52と、を備えている。ケース52は、例えばプラスチックなどの材料で形成されており、給電ケーブル1の第1の端部1aから延出したヒートパイプ10の第1の端部10a、およびコネクタ端子51を収容する。
コネクタ50内には、ヒートパイプ10のコルゲート部13aが配置されていてもよいし、非コルゲート部13bが配置されていてもよい。2本のヒートパイプ10同士は接続管(不図示)により互いに接続されていてもよい。
コネクタ50内において、ヒートパイプ10とコネクタ端子51とは接触している。これにより、コネクタ端子51で発生した熱をヒートパイプ10により輸送することができる。
給電ケーブル1の第2の端部1bでは、電力線20およびヒートパイプ10が延出している。延出した電力線20は、バッテリー100に接続される。
給電ケーブル1の第2の端部1bから延出したヒートパイプ10は、車体内に配置された冷却装置まで延び、冷却装置に接するように配置される。本実施形態における冷却装置はコールドプレート110である。例えば、ヒートパイプ10の延出部は、バッテリー100を冷却するためのコールドプレート110の空きスペース上に配置されてもよい。なお、ヒートパイプ10はコールドプレート110に間接的に接するように配置されていてもよい。つまり、ヒートパイプ10とコールドプレート110との間に、熱を伝導する介在物が配置されていてもよい。
図2では、コールドプレート110とバッテリー100とが離れて配置されているが、コールドプレート110はバッテリー100に接するように配置されてバッテリー100を冷却してもよい。あるいは、コールドプレート110とバッテリー100とが離れて配置され、両者が熱輸送素子(他のヒートパイプ等)によって接続されていてもよい。バッテリー100用のコールドプレート110を用いてヒートパイプ10を冷却することで、給電ケーブル1の冷却装置(ヒートシンク等)を車体の内部にさらに設置する必要がなくなるため、省スペース化が図れる。
2本のヒートパイプ10の第2の端部10b同士は互いに接続されている。以降、互いに接続された2本のヒートパイプ10の第2の端部に符号10bを付して説明する。2本のヒートパイプ10の第2の端部10b同士は接続管(不図示)により互いに接続されていてもよい。
なお、図1に示す絶縁層14は、ヒートパイプ10の全体にわたって設けられていてもよい。この場合、コールドプレート110とコンテナ13との間に絶縁層14が挟まれ、絶縁層14を介して熱の受け渡しが行われる。
このように、給電ケーブル1P、1Nにそれぞれ含まれるヒートパイプ10は、第1の端部10aおよび第2の端部10bにおいて互いに接続され、ループ状になっている。
次に、ヒートパイプ10による熱輸送サイクルについて説明する。電力線20およびコネクタ端子51が通電に伴い温度が上昇することにより、給電ケーブル1およびコネクタ50近傍ではヒートパイプ10内の作動液が蒸発する。すなわち、電力線20およびコネクタ端子51の近傍がヒートパイプ10の蒸発部Eとなる。蒸発部Eでは、ウイック12の流路内に浸透している作動液が蒸発する。
これにより、導電線21に大電流が流れる場合でも、給電ケーブル1を効率よく冷却できる。400A以上の大電流を流す場合、ヒートパイプによる冷却方法を有さない従来の給電ケーブルではケーブル径を太く設計する必要があり、ケーブル重量が重くなる場合があった。これに対して、ヒートパイプ10により効率よく冷却可能であるため本実施形態の給電ケーブル1ではケーブルの細径化や軽量化が可能になる。
また、ヒートパイプ10を用いた冷却方法は、外部からの補助電源を用いることなくケーブルの冷却が可能となる。補助電源や補助電源用の導体による電気短絡が発生することがないので、より安全な冷却方法を提供することができる。また、従来のケーブルと比較し、ケーブル長が長い場合でも、全長に亘って適切に冷却することができる。給電ケーブル1を適切に冷却することができるので、構成材料の劣化を防ぎ、製品の寿命を延ばすことができる。
さらに、給電ケーブル1では大電流を流すことが可能となるので、電気自動車を急速充電することができる。
コルゲート部13aが形成されている部分では、ヒートパイプ10は曲げ易くなる。このため、ヒートパイプ10の少なくとも一部にコルゲート部13aを形成することで、給電ケーブル1および給電ケーブル1から延出したヒートパイプ10を、車体の内部の限られたスペースに容易に配置することが可能になる。
これにより、コールドプレート110とヒートパイプ10との接触面積が大きくなるので、効率よく熱交換できる。
これにより、大電流が流れるコネクタ端子51も効率よく冷却できる。
次に、本発明に係る第2実施形態について説明するが、第1実施形態と基本的な構成は同様である。このため、同様の構成には同一の符号を付してその説明は省略し、異なる点についてのみ説明する。
図5に、第2実施形態に係る給電ケーブル1およびコネクタ50を示す。本実施形態のヒートパイプ10は線状であり、2本の給電ケーブル1の端部からそれぞれ延出するヒートパイプ10同士が互いに接続されていない点が第1実施形態と異なる。つまり、本実施形態のコネクタ付き給電ケーブルは、2本の独立したヒートパイプ10を有する。
コネクタ50内において、2本のヒートパイプ10の第1の端部10a同士は互いに接続されていない。言い換えると、2本のヒートパイプ10の第1の端部10aはそれぞれ、コネクタ50内で互いに離れて配置されている。
本実施形態では、第1実施形態と同様、ヒートパイプ10により導電線21およびコネクタ端子51の熱を効率よく輸送することができる。さらに、2本のヒートパイプ10同士が接続されていないので、ヒートパイプ10の配置の自由度をより高めることができる。
次に、本発明に係る第3実施形態について説明するが、第1実施形態と基本的な構成は同様である。このため、同様の構成には同一の符号を付してその説明は省略し、異なる点についてのみ説明する。
1つの給電ケーブル1に4本の電力線20が配置されており、4本の電力線20のうち2本がプラス電位で使用されるプラス電位電力線20Pであり、残りの2本がマイナス電位で使用されるマイナス電位電力線20Nである。図6に示されているように、給電ケーブル1の第1側面側(図6における紙面上側)に2本のプラス電位電力線20Pが配置されており、給電ケーブル1の第2側面側(図6における紙面下側)にマイナス電位電力線20Nが配置されている。
給電ケーブル1の第1の端部1aから延出するヒートパイプ10は、2つのコネクタ端子51に接している。
給電ケーブル1の第2の端部1bから延出するヒートパイプ10は、コールドプレート110と接する箇所において扁平に形成されている。
1本の給電ケーブル1がプラス電位電力線20Pとマイナス電位電力線20Nとを備えているため、より小さなスペースにも給電ケーブル1を配線することが可能になる。
例えば、図8に示すように、鉛直方向において、コールドプレート110が上側(+X側)に配置され、コネクタ50が下側(-X側)に配置されている場合には、ヒートパイプ10の第2の端部10bがヒートパイプ10の第1の端部10aよりも上側(+X側)に配置される。この場合、鉛直方向において、凝縮部Cが蒸発部Eより高い位置にあり、重力により作動液を移動させることができるため、ヒートパイプ10内にウイック12が配置されていなくてもよい。ただし、例えばウイック12が生じさせる毛管力を用いれば、重力に逆らって作動液を移動させることも可能である。したがって、凝縮部Cが蒸発部Eより鉛直方向において低い位置にあってもよい。また、凝縮部Cと蒸発部Eとが鉛直方向において同等の位置にあってもよい。
図10に示す例では、ヒートパイプ10は、1本の給電ケーブル1の両方の端部から延出しループ状に形成されている。ヒートパイプ10の内部で図中の矢印A1、A2の方向に作動流体が循環している。より詳しくは、ループ状のヒートパイプ10は、コールドプレート110側から給電ケーブル1に向かって主に作動液が移動する液相移動部10dと、給電ケーブル1からコールドプレート110側へ主に蒸気が移動する気相移動部10eと、を有する。液相移動部10dでは、矢印A1の示す方向に作動液が移動し、気相移動部10eでは、矢印A2の示す方向に蒸気が移動する。
作動流体が一方向に循環していない場合には、ヒートパイプ10のコンテナ13内の同一の管内で、蒸気と、作動液とが移動し、その移動方向が互いに対向することになる。この場合と比較し、図10に示すループ状のヒートパイプ10では、蒸気と作動液とが異なる部分を移動するため、蒸気圧力のロスを小さくすることができる。
