Fuel Cell-Equipped Vehicle And Control Method Therefor

Abstract

The invention provides a fuel cell-equipped vehicle and a control method therefor. The vehicle which includes a fuel cell, a receptacle, a lid, and a fixing pin, and which stores a detection of the open state during a period from a time point of a latest end of operation of the vehicle to a time point of input acceptance of a start-up instruction. If a detection of an open state has been stored in a memory at a time point of input acceptance of a start-up instruction, then the vehicle executes a retry operation of temporarily moving the fixing pin of the fixed position to the released position and thereafter moving the fixing pin again to the fixed position during an operating period of the vehicle from the time point of input acceptance of the start-up instruction.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-87246 filed on April 22, 2015, and incorporates all the disclosures of this application by reference. Technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell and a control method thereof. Background technique [0003] In JP2011-156896A, as a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell (fuel cell vehicle), a vehicle equipped with a filling receiving portion (filling port) that receives fuel from the outside and an openable and closable cover (lid body) covering the receiving portion is disclosed. vehicle. Moreover, a lock mechanism that fixes such a cover in a closed state is disclosed in JP2004-148980A. [0004] In the fuel cell vehicles of JP2011-156896A and JP2004-148980A, due to the deviation of the position of the cover, the deviation of the timing of fixing the cover by the locking mechanism, and the irregular operation of the user, there is a problem that the fuel...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the fuel cell vehicles of JP2011-156896A and JP2004-148980A, due to the deviation of the position of the cover, the deviation of the timing at which the cover is fixed by the locking mechanism, and the irregular operation of the user, there is a cover of the fuel cell vehicle that covers the receiving part. Possibility of driving without being fixed in the closed state

When the fuel cell vehicle is running with the cover not fixed in the closed state, the cover in the open state may collide with an obstacle while the fuel cell vehicle is running, so the cover may be damaged.
