Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Manual Service Disconnect, in particular in the context of high voltage module applications such as battery packs of hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • a Manual Service Disconnect comprises an electric connector plug with high voltage contacts mated to a receptacle with mating high voltage contacts, which in turn can be mounted on or fixed to a high voltage module, for instance a battery pack of a hybrid or electric vehicle.
  • the MSD may be unmated by an operator, i.e. the operator may remove the plug from the receptacle, to physically interrupt the high voltage cables connecting the high voltage module to further system electronics.
  • an unplugging can be necessary for example during normal operations such as service or maintenance of the vehicle, or during an emergency situation such as an intervention during a car accident.
  • MSDs are known in the art comprising a so-called High Voltage Interlock Loop, or HVIL, which is a low voltage loop used during the unmating sequence in order to communicate to the system's electronics that the high voltage must be shut down because an unplugging is being carried out, such that the high voltage contacts between the plug and the receptacle of the MSD can be safely unmated.
  • HVIL High Voltage Interlock Loop
  • the system's electronics needs time to power down the high voltage supply of the high voltage module, for example in order to discharge capacitors and any other devices linked to the high voltage module.
  • MSDs are known in the art, which use a finger actuated two-stage lever mechanism for unmating the plug from the receptacle.
  • Such MSDs known in the art comprise two levers pivotally attached to an outer housing of the MSD plug, arranged with the same orientation, in a configuration such that one lever is an inner lever and the other lever is an outer lever with respect to the outer housing, the inner lever being comprised between the outer housing of the plug and the outer lever, such that only one lever can be actuated at a time, and the levers must be actuated sequentially one after the other in order to carry out the unmating sequence.
  • the first lever i.e.
  • the outer lever is actuated by the operator in a first stage to open the High Voltage Interlock Loop, HVIL, thereby informing the system's electronics that the high voltage supply of the high voltage module needs to be shut down, prior to actuating the second lever, i.e. the inner lever, in a second stage for unplugging the high voltage contacts.
  • HVIL High Voltage Interlock Loop
  • the operator must start by actuating the first lever and then move his/her hand above the released first lever in order to be able to reach for the second lever and complete the unmating sequence.
  • the MSD is mounted in a confined space such that an operator can only access it in a restricted position and actuate it sometimes only with one hand.
  • high voltage modules in particular modules of at least about 35 to 40 V or higher voltages, in particular in the case of battery packs for hybrid or electric cars, which can have voltages of at least about 40 V and up to about 1000 V or even more
  • unplugging the MSD can produce electric arcs, which are not seen for lower voltage module, and which are both dangerous for the operator and for the MSD and its surroundings, as such electric arcs can electrocute the operator, melt plastic or even parts of the MSD itself or of surrounding components in the environment in which the MSD is mounted.
  • the operators are required to use at least a protective glove, and when available an insulating glove.
  • Different types of protective and/or insulating gloves can be used, depending on the safety norms and on the situations, up to thick fireman gloves.
  • Manipulating a system with two levers, such as MSDs known in the art is therefore not practical and even not possible in some confined environments since thick safety gloves do not allow the operator to reach the second lever once the first lever has been actuated when the MSD is installed in a confined space such as in the case of hybrid or electric vehicle battery packs.
  • an MSD responding to the above needs should also comprise the advantages of existing prior art MSDs relative to operator and electronics safety, in particular regarding the interruption of the high voltage supply prior to unmating the high voltage contacts inside the MSD.
  • an MSD which allows sufficient time to the system's electronics for powering down the high voltage supply before safely unplugging the high voltage contacts inside the MSD not only during normal maintenance of the high voltage module where an operator can take all the time and safety measures required for safely unplugging the MSD, but also in extreme conditions like emergency situations during which the MSD needs to be unplugged as fast as possible.
  • the object of the invention is achieved with a plug for mating a receptacle of a Manual Service Disconnect, MSD, according to claim 1, the plug comprising an outer housing and a lever arranged on the outer housing and configured for pivotal movement relative to the outer housing from a locked position to an unlocked position.
  • the outer housing is configured for blocking or releasing the lever in or from an intermediate position between the locked position and the unlocked position.
  • the inventive solution allows a temporization after disconnecting or opening the High Voltage Interlock Loop, HVIL, even if an operator tries to continuously carry out the unmating sequence, because the operator cannot rotate the lever to the unlocked position in one go, since the outer housing of the plug is configured for blocking the lever in an intermediate position in its pivotal movement.
  • a temporization of about 1 second or more is thus created, which allows sufficient time for using the signal produced by the interruption of the HVIL to communicate with the system's electronics in order to power down the high voltage supply and thus safely unplug the high voltage contacts in the MSD.
  • the invention is thus advantageous in automotive applications such as hybrid or electric vehicle battery packs, since a temporization in the unplugging sequence allows the system's electronics to power down the high voltage supply of the battery before unmating the high voltage contacts of the MSD.
  • the outer housing can be adapted to allow a manipulation by an operator equipped with a thick safety glove such as a fireman glove like in the case of high voltage modules of at least about 35 V or even much higher voltage modules up to about 1000 V or more, whereas MSDs known in the art employing two levers cannot be manipulated with such safety gloves and are thus inappropriate for high voltage modules.
  • the MSDs are usually mounted in confined areas, in particular when used in combination with battery packs of hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • the inventive plug can be configured such that the locking mechanisms are accessible even when wearing different types of insulating gloves or other types of safety gloves.
  • the inventive plug and MSD only requires one lever, as the second lever is replaced advantageously by an element directly reachable on the outer housing of the plug. Therefore, the operator does not need to actuate a first lever and then access the second lever by reach over the first lever.
  • the inventive solution does not require more separate components than MSDs known in the art.
  • the inventive solution is also simpler to assemble than the MSDs known in the art described above comprising two levers.
  • the lever can comprise a latch configured for releasing the lever from the locked position into the intermediate position.
  • the lever is advantageously maintained in the locked position when no intervention is required on the receptacle of the MSD.
  • the outer housing can comprise a latch, in particular a hooped latch, configured for releasing the lever from the intermediate position into the unlocked position.
  • a latch in particular a hooped latch
  • This solution is advantageous particularly when an operator is equipped with thick safety gloves.
  • An integrated solution in the outer housing of the plug allows an easy manipulation compared to a two lever solution known in the art.
  • a hooped latch is also advantageous, as it gives a grip easy to identify and to actuate with a finger, even when wearing thick safety gloves, such as firemen gloves.
  • the latch of the outer housing can be arranged such that the operator's actions on the lever and on the latch can be carried out with the same orientation of the operator's hand, in particular in a continuous movement, without needing to first actuate the lever, and then reach for the latch.
  • the latch, in particular the hooped latch, of the outer housing can comprise at least one blocking element, in particular at least one pin, configured for blocking the lever in the intermediate position.
  • the outer housing is configured for blocking the lever in its pivotal movement from the locked to the unlocked position. It is therefore possible and advantageous to combine the blocking and unlocking of the lever in the intermediate position in a single element of the outer housing, such that the blocking element is part of the latch or hooped latch.
  • the lever can further comprise at least one groove configured for receiving the at least one blocking element of the outer housing. It is thus possible to adapt the lever for engaging with the blocking element of the outer housing during the pivotal movement of the lever.
  • the at least one groove of the lever in the locked position, can be configured for blocking the latch, in particular the hooped latch, of the outer housing.
  • an inappropriate manipulation of the latch or hooped latch can be prevented.
  • the at least one groove of the lever can further comprise a stop spigot, wherein said at least one groove and said stop spigot are configured such that the lever can be released from the intermediate position into the unlocked position by the latch when the at least one blocking element reaches the stop spigot in the at least one groove.
  • the blocking elements of the outer housing in particular of the latch or hooped latch, can engage with the lever during its pivotal movement but will also stop said pivotal movement in an intermediate position before reaching the unlocked position.
  • a receptacle of a Manual Service Disconnect, MSD for mating a plug according to one of claims 1 to 7, comprising an outer housing header, at least one pair, in particular at least two pairs, of power receptacle contacts and at least one pair of interlock signal contacts.
  • a receptacle of an MSD can thus be configured for a mating plug according to the invention.
  • Manual Service Disconnects comprise two high voltage lines connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, respectively, and passing through the MSD, HV+ and HV- hereafter. Therefore, a receptacle according to the invention can comprise at least one power receptacle contacts for each high voltage line, HV+ and HV-. Accordingly, a plug according to the invention can comprise at least one mating power busbar for each high voltage line as well.
  • a receptacle of an MSD can comprise two power receptacle contacts for each high voltage line such that each line has an inlet and an outlet power receptacle contact, in total four power receptacle contacts, inlet HV+, inlet HV-, outlet HV+ and outlet HV-, respectively.
  • a plug according to the invention can also comprise mating power busbars for mating the inlet HV+, inlet HV-, outlet HV+ and outlet HV- power receptacle contacts.
  • a receptacle according to the invention can comprise as many power receptacle contacts as needed, or as many power busbars respectively, depending on the number of high voltage lines.
  • the MSDs further comprise one interlock loop for monitoring the high voltage.
  • the receptacle thus comprises at least one pair of interlock signal contacts, or interlock outputs for mating corresponding interlock shunt contacts on the mating plug of the MSD.
  • the invention could be used for monitoring more than one high voltage module.
  • the inventive receptacle and the inventive plug can thus comprise more than one interlock loop, or HVIL, and therefore more than one pair of interlock signal contacts, or interlock shunt contacts, respectively.
  • the interlock loop works with a voltage lower than 35 V in order to avoid the formation of electric arcs when disconnecting the interlock signal contacts from the interlock shunt contacts, in particular the voltage of the interlock loop, or HVIL, can be lower than about 30 V.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved with a Manual Service Disconnect, MSD, according to claim 9, comprising a plug according to one of claims 1 to 7 and a receptacle according to claim 8, wherein the plug and the receptacle are configured for being plugged to each other in a mated state.
  • MSD Manual Service Disconnect
  • the mated state of the MSD is when the plug and the receptacle are fully mated, in particular when the respective high voltage and interlock contacts of the plug and the receptacle are connected. Furthermore, in the mated state of the MSD, the lever is in the locked position and locks the plug with the receptacle.
  • the lever can further comprise at least one other groove and the receptacle can further comprise at least one pin, said at least one other groove being configured for engaging said at least one pin such that a movement, in particular a translation, of the plug respectively to the receptacle is prevented in the mated state.
  • the outer housing, the lever and the receptacle can thus all be configured in order to ensure the stability of the mated state and prevent any relative displacements of a component to another.
  • the geometry of the at least one other groove of the lever can be configured for engaging the at least one pin of the receptacle such that the plug and the receptacle are in a partially unmated state when the lever is in the intermediate position and in an unmated state when the lever is in the unlocked position. It is thus possible to configure the lever such that actuating the lever, in particular pivoting the lever from the locked to the intermediate position, results in a disconnection of the interlock contacts while the high voltage contacts are still connected, corresponding to the partially unmated state of the MSD.
  • the temporization resulting of the lever being blocked in the intermediate position and the time needed by an operator to release the lever into the unlocked position allows the system's electronics to receive the signal that the interlock loop has been interrupted and consequently power down the high voltage supply.
  • the lever can further be configured such that the high voltage contacts are disconnected only when the lever has reached the unlocked position after having been released from the intermediate position. When the lever is in the unlocked position, the interlock loop is interrupted, and the high voltage contacts are also disconnected, which eventually corresponds to the unmated state of the MSD.
  • the plug can further comprise at least one pair of interlock shunt contacts configured for being connected to the at least one pair of interlock signal contacts of the receptacle in the mated state and disconnected from the at least one pair of interlock signal contacts in the partially unmated state.
  • the components of the MSD in particular the plug and the receptacle, can be chosen and configured such that in the partially unmated state, corresponding to the intermediate position of the lever, the interlock loop is opened, communicating to the system's electronics that the high voltage needs to be powered down.
  • the MSD can comprise one pair of high voltage lines, HV+ and HV-, connected to respective positive and negative terminals of a high voltage module, with one interlock loop, but in other embodiments, the inventive MSD can comprise any desired number of high voltage lines and corresponding interlock loops.
  • the plug can further comprise at least one pair, in particular at least two pairs, of power busbars configured for being connected to the at least one pair, in particular to the at least two pairs, of mating power receptacle contacts of the receptacle in the partially unmated state and in the mated state.
  • the plug can comprise inlet HV+, inlet HV-, outlet HV+ and outlet HV- power busbars for mating corresponding power receptacle contacts for the high voltage lines HV+ and HV-running through a mating receptacle and connected to the positive and negative terminals of a high voltage module, respectively.
  • the MSD can thus be configured such that the high voltage contacts, in particular the power busbars and power receptacle contacts, are only completely disconnected in the unmated state, corresponding to the unlocked position of the lever, which can only be reached after a temporization imposed by the intermediate state.
  • the MSD does not comprise any fuse component connected to any of the power busbars (22, 23, 24, 25) or power receptacle contacts (57, 58, 59, 60).
  • MSDs known in the art comprise a fuse component whose main function is to protect the electric circuitry when the MSD is in the mated state and the high voltage is running through the system.
  • it might also be possible to use an MSD without a protecting fuse for example when the inventive MSD is used with voltages which cannot damage the system's electronic components, or when a fuse is already present in other parts of the high voltage lines, in particular outside the MSD.
  • an MSD can comprise at least one fuse component connected to at least one of the power busbars (22, 23, 24, 25) and/or at least one of the power receptacle contacts (57, 58, 59, 60).
  • This has the advantage that at least one of the high voltage lines, HV+ or HV- when two lines are connected to respective positive and negative terminals of a high voltage module, can be provided with a fuse in order to protect the electronics in the mated state of the MSD, when the high voltage module is in use.
  • more than one fuse might be used, for example if more than one high voltage module is connected to the MSD.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved with a method for unmating a Manual Service Disconnect, MSD, of a high voltage module, in particular of a high voltage battery pack of a hybrid or electric vehicle, comprising the steps of:
  • a time lapse for carrying out steps b and c continuously is sufficient for the high voltage of the module, in particular of the high voltage battery pack, to be disabled when the MSD reaches the unmated state.
  • an operator can actively decide to wait after interrupting the HVIL of the MSD, which corresponds to pausing the unmating sequence when the lever is in the intermediate position, in order to leave time to the electronics to react to the interruption of the HVIL, shut down the high voltage and make sure that components such as capacitors are discharged before disconnecting the high voltage contacts inside the MSD.
  • MSDs can be used in environments such as automotive applications like hybrid or electric vehicle battery packs which need to be disconnected not only in the quiet environment of a maintenance operation, but also for example in stress situations such as an intervention after a car accident.
  • the unmating or unplugging sequence thus includes a minimal forced temporization for the safety of the operator. Therefore, by the expression "carrying out steps b and c continuously", it should be understood that an operator will not intentionally pause between method steps b and c, but will at least try to carry out the sequence in one go, i.e. the operator will release the lever from the locked to the intermediate position, and then try to release the lever from the intermediate to the unlocked position in a minimal time.
  • the time lapse can be the elapsed time between the disconnection of the at least one pair of interlock shunt contacts of the plug from the at least one pair of interlock signal contacts of the receptacle and the disconnection of the at least one pair, in particular at least two pairs, of power busbars of the plug from the at least one pairs, in particular at least two pairs, of power receptacle contacts of the receptacle, in particular the time lapse can be at least equal or superior to about 1 second.
  • This minimal temporization after the interruption of the HVIL allows sufficient time for the system's electronics to receive the signal that the HVIL has been interrupted, consequently send the signal for shutting down the high voltage supply, allowing a minimal temporization required for discharging electric components, such that the high voltage contacts can eventually safely be unplugged by an operator.
