  • Publication number: 20200055472
    Abstract: An in-vehicle emergency power supply device includes a power storage unit including an electric double-layer capacitor, a charging circuit charging the power storage unit, a discharging circuit discharging the power storage unit, and a controller controlling the charging circuit and the discharging circuit. When the charging circuit charges the power storage unit, the controller determines a set full charging voltage of the power storage unit, determines a correction charging voltage lower than the set full charging voltage based on the set full charging voltage, and controls the charging circuit to charge the power storage unit until a stored voltage reaches the correction charging voltage. This in-vehicle emergency power supply device stabilizes an output voltage thereof.

  • Publication number: 20200016981
    Abstract: An on-vehicle power supply device according to the present disclosure includes an electricity storage, a charge circuit, a discharge circuit, an input unit, an output unit and a controller. When the controller decides that an emergency operation condition is satisfied, the controllers causes the charge circuit to stop charging power to the electricity storage, then sets an output instruction voltage that is a target voltage value of an output of the discharge circuit to a first voltage value, the controller further causes the discharge circuit to discharge the power charged in the electricity storage, and, when the power output from the discharge circuit becomes higher than a power threshold, the controller lowers an output instruction voltage from a first voltage value to a second voltage value.

  • Publication number: 20190184921
    Abstract: A power source device of present disclosure includes: a first power storage element; a second power storage element that is connected in parallel to the first power storage element and that has a lower internal resistance than an internal resistance of the first power storage element and a lower storage capacity than a storage capacity of the first power storage element; an opening and closing part that is connected between the first power storage element and the second power storage element and that switches between a disconnection state and a connection state; a charge circuit that is connected to an input route of the first power storage element and that performs a step-down operation; a discharge circuit that is connected to an output route of the second power storage element and that performs a step-up operation; and a controller that controls operations of the opening and closing part, the charge circuit, and the discharge circuit.
