Deformed example 1

[0104] In the embodiment, an example in which external charging is AC charging has been described. However, the external charging is not limited to AC charging, and may be DC charging that charges the vehicle-mounted battery 100 using electric power supplied from a DC power supply outside the vehicle 1 . The present disclosure can also be applied to DC charging in the same manner as AC charging.

Deformed example 2

[0106] In the embodiment, an example in which setting device 600 is provided in vehicle 1 has been described. However, the setting device 600 is not limited to a device provided in the vehicle 1 . For example, the setting device 600 may include a device provided outside the vehicle 1 in addition to or instead of a device provided in the vehicle 1 . In Modification 2, the charging system also includes the user's smartphone 600A as the setting device 600 (refer to figure 1 ) example to illustrate.

[0107] Smartphone 600A is configured to be capable of wireless two-way communication with ECU 300 . Predetermined application software is installed on the smartphone 600A. Smartphone 600A is configured such that, for example, the setting of the operation mode of locking device 50 can be changed by operating a screen displayed during activation of the application software. For example, when the user operates smartphone 600A to select the first mode, smartphone 600A outputs a signa...

Deformed example 3

[0110] In the embodiment, an example in which the locking device 50 is provided in the vehicle 1 has been described. However, the function of the locking device 50 is not limited to being provided on the vehicle 1 side. For example, the function of the locking device 50 may be provided on the charging cable 400 side. In Modification 3, an example in which the function of the locking device 50 is provided on the charging cable 400 side will be described.

[0111] In Modification 3, push button 415 provided on charging connector 410 functions as a locking device. Specifically, the push button 415 is configured to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the push button 415 is fixed by, for example, an unillustrated actuator so as not to move even if the user presses it. In the unlocked state, the push button 415 is not fixed.

Abstract

Disclosed are a vehicle and a locking control system. An ECU of the vehicle has a first mode and a second mode as an operation mode of a locking device. The first mode is a mode of bringing the locking device into a locked state when a charging connector is connected to an inlet. The second mode is a mode of maintaining the locking device in an unlocked state when the charging connector is connected to the inlet. The ECU of the vehicle determines whether or not the charging connector is connected to the inlet. The ECU does not permit a setting change of the operation mode of the locking device when the charging connector is connected to the inlet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle configured to be able to charge an on-vehicle power storage device using electric power supplied from a power source external to the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-23747 discloses a vehicle configured to perform alternating current (AC: Alternating current) charging. The vehicle includes: an inlet configured to be connected to a connector provided at a top end of a charging cable; and a locking device capable of switching between a locked state and an unlocked state, the locked state being that the connector connected to the inlet cannot be connected. In the state of being removed from the inlet, the unlocked state is a state in which the connector connected to the inlet can be removed from the inlet. In this vehicle, when the connector is connected to the inlet, the locking device moves to a locked state so that the inlet and the connector cannot be detached. Tha...
