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 (36)

1. A charging apparatus comprising:

a first line for supplying direct-current power supplied from an external direct-current power source to a battery, the first line having one end being electrically connected to a second line electrically connecting the battery and a component which becomes a noise source when the component operates during charging from the external direct-current power source to the battery, and having the other end being electrically connected to the external direct-current power source; and

a first noise filter that is disposed on the first line,

wherein the second line is electrically connected to one end of a third line having the other end being electrically connected to an external alternating-current power source, and the third line is provided with an AC/DC converter and a second noise filter, the second noise filter being disposed on the external alternating-current power source side with respect to the AC/DC converter of the third line.

2. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first line is a quick-charging line.

3. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the third line is a normal charging line.

4. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first noise filter is a Y capacitor.

5. The charging apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the second noise filter is a Y capacitor.

6. The charging apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the AC/DC converter comprises a transformer.

7. The charging apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:

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

the first noise filter is disposed on the external direct-current power source side with respect to the relay,

the first noise filter is connected to the vehicle body ground at a neutral point and reduces noise from the noise source to a certain current value or lower and causes the noise to flow to the vehicle body ground,

the second noise filter is grounded to the vehicle body ground at a neutral point and reduce noise that flows into the external alternating-current power source from the AC/DC converter to a certain current value or lower and causes the noise to flow to the vehicle body ground, and

the relay is switched on during power supply from the external direct-current power source to the battery, and is switched off during power supply from the external alternating-current power source to the battery.

8. The charging apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the noise source comprises a DC/DC converter and an air conditioning compressor.

9. A vehicle comprising:

a first line for supplying direct-current power supplied from a external direct-current power source to a battery, the first line having one end being electrically connected to a second line electrically connecting the battery and a component which becomes a noise source when the component operates during charging form the external direct-current power source to the battery, and having the other end being electrically connected to the external direct-current power source; and

a first noise filter that is disposed on the first line,

wherein the second line is electrically connected to one end of a third line having the other end being electrically connected to an external alternating-current power source, and the third line is provided with an AC/DC converter and a second noise filter, the second noise filter being disposed on the external alternating-current power source side with respect to the AC/DC converter of the third line.

10. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the first noise filter is a Y capacitor.

11. The vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the second noise filter is a Y capacitor.

12. The vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the AC/DC converter comprises a transformer.

13. The vehicle according to claim 12 , further comprising:

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

the first noise filter is disposed on the external direct-current power source side with respect to the relay,

the first noise filter is connected to the vehicle body ground at a neutral point and reduces noise from the noise source to a certain current value or lower and causes the noise to flow to the vehicle body ground,

the second noise filter is grounded to the vehicle body ground at a neutral point and reduce noise that flows into the external alternating-current power source from the AC/DC converter to a certain current value or lower and causes the noise to flow to the vehicle body ground, and

the relay is switched on during power supply from the external direct-current power source to the battery, and is switched off during power supply from the external alternating-current power source to the battery.

14. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first noise filter is an X capacitor.

15. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first noise filter is a coil.

16. The charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first noise filter is a ferrite.

17. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the first noise filter is an X capacitor.

18. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the first noise filter is a coil.

19. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the first noise filter is a ferrite.
