Abstract

Provided is a cell module inspection device that makes it possible to easily inspect the degree of deterioration of a cell module. This cell module inspection device comprises: an impedance detection circuit that detects a measurement current which is applied to a plurality of cell modules connected in series, that detects a response voltage which occurs at each terminal of the plurality of cell modules, and that calculates the internal impedance of each of the plurality of cell modules on the basis of the measurement current and the response voltage; and a connection polarity switching circuit that is disposed between the impedance detection circuit and the terminal of each of the plurality of cell modules. Even if a cell module is reverse-connected to the connection polarity switching circuit, the connection polarity switching circuit uses the stored power of the cell module to automatically switch the output polarity of the connection polarity switching circuit to the same polarity as in the case of normal connection. The output polarity of the connection polarity switching circuit is set by combining, per cell module, inversion and non-inversion in the direction of the series connection.

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising two front wheels (12, 13) and two rigid deflectors (1, 2) positioned in front of the two front wheels (12, 13), each of which is rotatably mounted so as to rotate between an active position, in which it projects beneath the vehicle in front of a front wheel (12, 13), extending in a vertical transverse plane YZ of the vehicle, and an inactive position, in which it is stowed in the vehicle. The vehicle comprises a braking system (10) having a brake booster (18) and a brake pedal (11). According to the invention, the vehicle comprises a mechanism for actuating the two deflectors (1, 2), based on an actuating circuit (51) originating from the brake booster (18) and leading to an actuator (52) that is connected to the two deflectors (1, 2), wherein pressure on the brake pedal (11) causes both a braking phase of the vehicle and activation of the actuator (52), thereby causing the two deflectors (1, 2) to pivot until the inactive position is reached.

Abstract

This battery capacity estimation device comprises: a battery voltage estimation unit 11 that measures or estimates the battery voltage of a secondary battery 1; a charge/discharge control unit 12 that controls charging and discharging of the secondary battery 1; a state-of-charge estimation unit 13 that estimates the state of charge (SOC) of the secondary battery 1; and a battery capacity estimation unit 14 that estimates the battery capacity. The charge/discharge control unit 11 controls charging and discharging of the secondary battery up to a start point by charging or discharging the secondary battery at a constant first current for a first time or longer, and after passing the start point, controls charging and discharging of the secondary battery by charging or discharging at a second current so that the SOC changes from the start point by a prescribed change margin or more, and controls charging or discharging of the secondary battery up to an end point by charging or discharging the secondary battery at the constant first current for a second time or longer. The state-of-charge estimation unit 13 acquires a start-point SOC indicating the SOC at the start point and uses the start-point SOC, the battery voltage at the start point, and the battery voltage at the end point as a basis for estimating an end-point SOC indicating the SOC at the end point. The battery capacity estimation unit 14 estimates the battery capacity on the basis of the SOC difference between the start-point SOC and the end-point SOC and a quantity of electric charge obtained by integrating the current from the start point to the end point.

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a means whereby cycle characteristics can be further improved in a lithium secondary battery of the lithium precipitation type provided with a negative electrode interlayer. This objective is achieved by means of a lithium secondary battery comprising a power generation element including: a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material; a negative electrode having a negative electrode current collector, in which lithium metal precipitates on the negative electrode current collector during charging; a solid electrolyte layer which is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and which contains a solid electrolyte; and a negative electrode interlayer which is interposed between the negative electrode current collector and the solid electrolyte layer and which includes a lithium-reactive material. Provided that A [mAh/cm2] denotes the irreversible capacity, which is the difference between the initial charge capacity and initial discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode active material layer, and B [mAh/cm2] denotes the charging capacity, which is the sum of a capacity b1 of the lithium-reactive material per unit area of the negative electrode interlayer and a capacity b2 based on voids, the relation A ≥ B holds.

The estimation device: calculates a cell thickness change rate, which expresses the rate of change in the thickness of the battery cell 21 after completion of the charging of the battery cell 21 or after completion of the discharging of the battery cell 21, on the basis of the measured value for the displacement of the battery cell 21; calculates the amount of reversible lithium in the battery cell 21 on the basis of the cell temperature, the contact pressure, and the cell thickness change rate; compares the calculated amount of reversible lithium with the amount of reversible lithium initially in the battery cell 21 in a state in which the voltage conditions have been made to correspond to the cell voltage measured by the measurement unit; and estimates the deterioration state of the battery cell 21 from the comparison results.

Abstract

In a power conversion device (1), a first power conversion circuit (10) and a second power conversion circuit (20) that are connected in parallel to a pair of input terminals (IN1, IN2) have inverter circuits (110, 210) and diodes (D11, D21). The inverter circuits (110, 210) each have a switch element (111, 211) for switching the on/off state and the direction of an electric current flowing between the input terminals (IN1, IN2). The first power conversion circuit (10) and the second power conversion circuit (20) are connected to the input terminals (IN1, IN2) by having the respective rectification directions of the diodes (D11, D21) set in mutually opposite directions. The switching operation of the switch elements (111, 211) is controlled by a control unit 40 so that the DC power after rectification by the diodes (D11, D21) is output alternately to output terminals (OUT1, OUT2) in a cycle in which the on/off states of the switching elements (111, 211) are switched.

Abstract

The invention relates to a structure of a motor vehicle, in particular of an electric vehicle, and to a mounting method. The structure comprises a floor part, in which a housing (28) is provided, and an acoustic device installed in said housing, said housing having a bottom wall (36) and two vertical walls (38, 40) facing each other. Said housing (28) comprises first anchoring members (46, 52, 54) secured to said bottom wall and second anchoring members (56) secured to the other wall (40). Said acoustic device comprises a casing (62) having a lower wall (68) and two opposite ends (64, 66), said casing comprising, on the one hand, first connecting members (80) located in said lower wall (68) so as to be able to cooperate with said first anchoring members (46, 52, 54), and, on the other hand, second connecting members (82) located in the other (66) of said ends so as to be able to cooperate with said second anchoring members (56).
