Abstract

Provided are a charging device and a vehicle capable of reducing the amount of noise flowing into a quick-charging facility. The pair of charging lines connecting the quick-charging facility ( 20 ) to an onboard battery ( 30 ) are referred to as quick-charging lines, and each of these quick-charging lines is provided with a relay ( 16 - 1, 16 - 2 ). Each relay ( 16 - 1, 16 - 2 ) is used to switch the current flowing in the respective quick-charging line on and off, the current being switched on during quick-charge and being switched off during normal charging. Each quick-charging line has a Y-capacitor ( 17 ) connected thereto closer to a QC port ( 15 ) than the respective relay ( 16 - 1, 16 - 2 ).

Claims (21)

1. A charging apparatus comprising:

a quick-charging line for supplying direct-current power supplied from an external direct-current power source to a battery, the quick-charging line having one end being connected to a line between a battery and a component which becomes a noise source when the component operates during quick charging to the battery, and having the other end being connected to an input side of quick charging,

a first noise filter that is disposed on the quick-charging line and eliminates noise,

an AC/DC converter having a transformer, the AC/DC converter converting alternating-current power supplied from an external alternating-current power source to direct-current power and supplying the power to the battery; and

a second noise filter that is disposed on a normal charging line connecting the external alternating-current power source to the AC/DC converter and eliminates noise.

2. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a relay that is disposed on the quick-charging line and switches on and off a current flowing through the quick-charging line, wherein

the first noise filter is disposed on the input side of quick charging with respect to the relay.

3. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first noise filter and the second noise filter is a Y capacitor.

4. The charging apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the relay is switched on during quick charging, and is switched off during normal charging.

5. A vehicle comprising:

a battery; and

a quick-charging line for supplying direct-current power supplied from an outside of a vehicle to the battery, the quick-charging line having one end being connected to a line between a battery and a component which becomes a noise source when the component operates during quick charging to the battery, and having the other end being connected to an input side of quick charging,

a first noise filter that is disposed on the quick-charging line and eliminates noise,

an AC/DC converter having a transformer, the AC/DC converter converting alternating-current power supplied from an external alternating-current power source to direct-current power and supplying the power to the battery; and

a second noise filter that is disposed on a normal charging line connecting the external alternating-current power source to the AC/DC converter and eliminates noise.

6. The vehicle according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a relay that is disposed on the quick-charging line and switches on and off a current flowing through the quick-charging line, wherein

the first noise filter is disposed on the input side of quick charging with respect to the relay.

7. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first noise filter eliminates noise from a plurality of components which become a noise source.

8. The charging apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the first noise filter is disposed outside the plurality of components.
