[0024] Each of the breakers 46 switches between a conductive state and a cutoff state between the second power generation unit 12b and each of the power transmission lines 36.

The anode of each diode 54 is connected to the corresponding power transmission device 14 side, and the cathode is connected to the corresponding battery 30 side. Each diode 54 allows the supply of power from each power transmission line 36 to each battery 30. Each diode 54 prevents the supply of power from each battery 30 to each power transmission line 36.

[0028] As a result, power is supplied from each power generation unit 12 to each battery 30 via each diode 54. As a result, each battery 30 is charged. Furthermore, if each power transmission line 36 is short-circuited, power from each battery 30 is prevented from flowing to each power transmission line 36.

If an abnormality occurs in one of the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b, power can be supplied from the first power generation unit 12a and the second power generation unit 12b to the first drive module 16a and the second drive module 16b using the other of the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b.

[0031] [Terminal arrangement of power transmission device] As shown in FIG. 1, each power transmission device 14 has one power supply positive terminal 58a and one power supply negative terminal 58b. Each power transmission device 14 has two load side positive terminals 60a and two load side negative terminals 60b.

The load side positive terminal 60a corresponds to a positive terminal of the present invention. The load side negative terminal 60b corresponds to a negative terminal of the present invention.

[0032] The PCU 22 of the first power generation unit 12a is connected to the power supply positive terminal 58a and the power supply negative terminal 58b of the first power transmission device 14a, and the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b is connected to the power supply positive terminal 58a and the power supply negative terminal 58b of the second power transmission device 14b.

[0033] The positive wiring 62a on which the contactor 38a is provided in the first power transmission device 14a and the positive wiring 62a on which the contactor 38a is provided in the second power transmission device 14b are connected via a positive connecting wiring 64a. The negative wiring 62b on which the contactor 38b is provided in the first power transmission device 14a and the negative wiring 62b on which the contactor 38b is provided in the second power transmission device 14b are connected via a negative connecting wiring 64b.

[0034] The positive wiring 66a on which the contactor 46a is provided in the first power transmission device 14a is connected to the positive wiring 66a on which the contactor 46a is provided in the second power transmission device 14b via a positive connecting wiring 68a. The negative wiring 66b on which the contactor 46b is provided in the first power transmission device 14a is connected to the negative wiring 66b on which the contactor 46b is provided in the second power transmission device 14b via a negative connecting wiring 68b.

[0035] One load-side positive terminal 60a of the first power transmission device 14a and one load-side positive terminal 60a of the second power transmission device 14b are connected by a positive electrode connecting wire 70a. One load-side negative terminal 60b of the first power transmission device 14a and one load-side negative terminal 60b of the second power transmission device 14b are connected by a negative electrode connecting wire 70b. The first drive module 16a is connected to the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b via the positive electrode connecting wire 70a and the negative electrode connecting wire 70b.

[0036] The other load-side positive terminal 60a of the first power transmission device 14a and the other load-side positive terminal 60a of the second power transmission device 14b are connected by a positive electrode connecting wire 72a. The other load-side negative terminal 60b of the first power transmission device 14a and the other load-side negative terminal 60b of the second power transmission device 14b are connected by a negative electrode connecting wire 72b. The second drive module 16b is connected to the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b via the positive electrode connecting wire 72a and the negative electrode connecting wire 72b.

[0037] 2 and 3 are schematic diagrams of the power transmission device 14. The first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b are members having the same shape.

[0038] The power transmission device 14 has an outer shape of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. As shown in Fig. 2, a power supply positive terminal 58a and a power supply negative terminal 58b are provided on the bottom surface of the power transmission device 14.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3 , two load-side positive terminals 60a and two load-side negative terminals 60b are provided on the top surface of the power transmission device 14. The two load-side positive terminals 60a and the two load-side negative terminals 60b are arranged in a row in the order of the load-side positive terminal 60a, the load-side negative terminal 60b, the load-side negative terminal 60b, and the load-side positive terminal 60a. The two load-side positive terminals 60a and the two load-side negative terminals 60b may also be arranged in a row in the order of the load-side negative terminal 60b, the load-side positive terminal 60a, the load-side positive terminal 60a, and the load-side negative terminal 60b. This ensures that the arrangement of the load-side positive terminals 60a and the load-side negative terminals 60b remains unchanged even when the power transmission device 14 is rotated 180 degrees about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0040] 4 and 5 are diagrams showing the power transmission device 14 arranged inside the fuselage 74 of an aircraft. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the power transmission device 14 as seen from below. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the power transmission device 14 as seen from above.

[0041] The first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b are disposed between the PCU 22 of the first power generation unit 12a and the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b. The second power transmission device 14b is disposed in a state rotated 180 degrees with respect to the first power transmission device 14a, and the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b are disposed facing each other with the same side facing each other.

[0042] The PCU 22 of the second power generating unit 12b is disposed rotated 180 degrees relative to the PCU 22 of the first power generating unit 12a, thereby maintaining the positional relationship between the terminals of the PCU 22 of the first power generating unit 12a and the terminals of the first power transmitting device 14a and the terminals of the PCU 22 of the second power generating unit 12b and the terminals of the second power transmitting device 14b.

[0043] The first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b are arranged on either side of a center line A in the width direction of the body 74. The distance between the center line A and the first power transmission device 14a and the distance between the center line A and the second power transmission device 14b are BetweenThe distances are approximately equal. The first power transmission device 14a is disposed at a position closer to the center line A than the PCU 22 of the first power generation unit 12a. In other words, the PCU 22 of the first power generation unit 12a is disposed at a position closer to the wall 74a of the body 74 than the first power transmission device 14a. The second power transmission device 14b is disposed at a position closer to the center line A than the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b. In other words, the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b is disposed at a position closer to the wall 74a of the body 74 than the second power transmission device 14b. This allows the weight distribution of the PCU 22 and the power transmission devices 14 to be approximately equal in the left-right direction of the body 74.

[0044] [Action and effect] 6 and 7 are diagrams showing a power transmission device 14 of a comparative example arranged inside a fuselage 74 of an aircraft.

[0045] In the comparative example of the power transmission device 14, the two load side positive terminals 60a and the two load side negative terminals 60b are arranged in a row in the order of the load side positive terminal 60a, the load side negative terminal 60b, the load side positive terminal 60a, and the load side negative terminal 60b.

[0046] Therefore, when the second power transmission device 14b is disposed in a state rotated 180 degrees relative to the first power transmission device 14a, the positive electrode connecting wiring 70a and the negative electrode connecting wiring 70b intersect, and the positive electrode connecting wiring 72a and the negative electrode connecting wiring 72b intersect, as shown in Fig. 6. This results in a complicated wiring structure connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b. As a result, the lengths of the positive electrode connecting wiring 70a, the negative electrode connecting wiring 70b, the positive electrode connecting wiring 72a, and the negative electrode connecting wiring 72b are increased, resulting in a problem of increased weight.

[0047] In order to prevent the wiring connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b from crossing each other, it is possible to arrange the second power transmission device 14b and the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b as shown in FIG. 7.

[0048] In this case, the distance between the center line A and the first power transmission device 14a and the distance between the center line A and the second power transmission device 14b are BetweenThe first power transmission device 14a is connected to the PCU of the first power generation unit 12a. 22 The second power transmission device 14b is disposed at a position farther from the center line A than the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b. On the other hand, the second power transmission device 14b is disposed at a position closer to the center line A than the PCU 22 of the second power generation unit 12b. Since the PCU 22 is heavier than each power transmission device 14, the weight distribution of the PCU 22 and the power transmission devices 14 becomes uneven in the left-right direction of the body 74.

[0049] In the power transmission device 14 of this embodiment, the two load-side positive terminals 60a and the two load-side negative terminals 60b are arranged in a row in the following order: load-side positive terminal 60a, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side negative terminal 60b, and load-side positive terminal 60a. This ensures that the arrangement of the load-side positive terminals 60a and the load-side negative terminals 60b remains unchanged even when the power transmission device 14 is rotated 180 degrees about a rotation axis extending vertically (FIG. 3). Therefore, the wiring connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b does not cross each other, simplifying the wiring structure connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b (FIG. 5). As a result, the weight of the wiring connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b can be reduced. Furthermore, the weight distribution of the PCU 22 and the power transmission device 14 can be made substantially uniform in the left-right direction of the body 74.

[0050] In the power supply system 10 of the present embodiment, the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b are disposed facing each other between the two PCUs 22. This simplifies the wiring structure connecting the first power transmission device 14a and the second power transmission device 14b (FIG. 5).

[0051] Second Embodiment 8 and 9 are diagrams showing the power transmission device 14 disposed inside the fuselage 74 of an aircraft. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the power transmission device 14 as seen from the front. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the power transmission device 14 as seen from the rear.

[0052] In the first embodiment, a load-side positive terminal 60a and a load-side negative terminal 60b are arranged on the upper surface of the power transmitting device 14, and a power supply-side positive terminal 58a and a power supply-side negative terminal 58b are arranged on the lower surface of the power transmitting device 14. In contrast, in the second embodiment, the load-side positive terminal 60a and the load-side negative terminal 60b are arranged on the rear surface of the power transmitting device 14, and the power supply-side positive terminal 58a and the power supply-side negative terminal 58b are arranged on the front surface of the power transmitting device 14.

[0053] [Modification] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various configurations can be adopted without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0054] In the first embodiment, the load-side positive terminal 60a and the load-side negative terminal 60b are arranged on the upper surface of the power transmitting device 14, and the power supply-side positive terminal 58a and the power supply-side negative terminal 58b are arranged on the lower surface of the power transmitting device 14. Alternatively, the load-side positive terminal 60a and the load-side negative terminal 60b may be arranged on the lower surface of the power transmitting device 14, and the power supply-side positive terminal 58a and the power supply-side negative terminal 58b may be arranged on the upper surface of the power transmitting device 14.

[0055] In the second embodiment, the load-side positive terminal 60a and the load-side negative terminal 60b are arranged on the rear surface of the power transmitting device 14, and the power supply-side positive terminal 58a and the power supply-side negative terminal 58b are arranged on the front surface of the power transmitting device 14. Alternatively, the load-side positive terminal 60a and the load-side negative terminal 60b may be arranged on the front surface of the power transmitting device 14, and the power supply-side positive terminal 58a and the power supply-side negative terminal 58b may be arranged on the rear surface of the power transmitting device 14.

[0056] In the first and second embodiments, the power transmission device 14 has two load-side positive terminals 60a and two load-side negative terminals 60b. Alternatively, the power transmission device 14 may have four load-side positive terminals 60a and four load-side negative terminals 60b. In this case, the four load-side positive terminals 60a and the four load-side negative terminals 60b are arranged in a line in the following order: load-side positive terminal 60a, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side positive terminal 60a, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side positive terminal 60a, load-side negative terminal 60b, load-side negative terminal 60b, and load-side positive terminal 60a. Furthermore, the four load side positive electrode terminals 60a and the four load side negative electrode terminals 60b may be arranged in a row in the following order: load side negative electrode terminal 60b, load side positive electrode terminal 60a, load side positive electrode terminal 60a, load side negative electrode terminal 60b, load side negative electrode terminal 60b, load side positive electrode terminal 60a, load side positive electrode terminal 60a, and load side negative electrode terminal 60b.

[0057] The power supply system 10 may include a large-capacity battery instead of the power generation unit 12.

[0058] The power supply system 10 may include elements such as fuses, relays, breakers, transistors, resistors, coils, and capacitors in addition to the elements described in the first embodiment.

[0059] [Inventions Obtained from the Embodiments] The invention that can be understood from the above embodiment will be described below.
