Abstract

PURPOSE:To diminish the heat generation of a storage battery to prevent the battery from deterioration and to lengthen its life by storing and keeping data on the discharge state of a storage battery in a small-sized digital data storage device such as IC card during discharge and by transmitting the data to a charger. CONSTITUTION:A digital data storage device is first installed for use in an electric vehicle and a central processor 2 operates according to a program written in a program memory 3 so that data mainly on the discharge state of a storage battery is stored in a data memory 4 via data input interface 1. When the storage battery is charged after that, the digital data storage device is removed from the electric vehicle and connected with a charger via a charger control signal output interface 5. Because the optimum charging method can be selected according to the discharge state on the storage battery, it is possible to shorten the time required for charging and to prevent overcharge and insufficient charge.

A method that has been relatively commonly used to charge electric vehicles is a method called quasi-constant current and constant voltage charging.
By using the output characteristics of the power supply transformer of the charger, a slightly larger charging current is allowed to flow when the terminal voltage of the storage battery is low, and as the terminal voltage of the storage battery increases as charging progresses, the charging current is reduced in almost inverse proportion to the charging process. The basic idea is that a timer is started when the terminal voltage of the storage battery exceeds a certain value, and charging is then terminated when the time set by the timer has elapsed.

In this method, the terminal voltage of the storage battery at the beginning of charging does not change much even if the discharge state of the storage battery changes, so if the charging current is set to a small value when the amount of discharge of the storage battery is large, the required charging time will increase, and vice versa. If the charging current is set high when the discharge amount of the storage battery is small, the storage battery will deteriorate due to heat generation, etc., and there is a problem that it is not possible to select an appropriate charging current according to the appropriate discharge state.

In addition, there is a drawback that overcharging or undercharging tends to occur, which shortens the life of the storage battery.

Structure of the Invention In the conventional charging method, charging was started without being given any data regarding the discharge state of the storage battery on the charger side. For this reason, charging will start with the same charging current regardless of whether the amount of discharged electricity is large or small. If the charging current is too large, it will deteriorate the storage battery, and conversely, if the charging current is too small, the time required for charging will increase. There was a problem. Moreover, there were cases where the amount of charge was too much or too little.

In contrast, in the charging method of the present invention, data regarding the discharge state of the storage battery is stored in a small digital data storage device such as an IC card during discharging, and the data is transmitted to the charger. As a result, the charging current can be increased or decreased depending on the discharge state, and the charging time can be shortened without deteriorating the storage battery.

That is, when the storage battery is deeply discharged, the initial charging current is increased to shorten the charging time, and as charging approaches completion, the charging current is reduced to reduce heat generation in the storage battery and prevent deterioration. Furthermore, since there is no over- or under-charging, the life of the storage battery is extended.
