Abstract
A battery transfer and charging system for electrically powered vehicles includes a conveyor loop (C) for conveying batteries (B) from a battery receiving station (15) to a battery delivery station (14). A displacement assembly (16) removes spent batteries of electric vehicles by placing charged batteries into position within the vehicles so as to laterally displace spent batteries. Spent batteries displaced from vehicles are received by the receiving station (15), where the batteries are tested both electrically and by comparing battery status data against predetermined criteria. Batteries which fail the battery test are automatically removed from the conveyor loop (C) by an elevator assembly (43). Batteries are automatically charged as they pass through the conveyor loop (C) in an assembly-line fashion. Following recharge, batteries are conveyed to the displacement station for installation within later vehicles. In one embodiment of the system, vehicles are processed through the system in sequential order, stopping at a specified location for battery installation/removal. A vending machine system (402) for recharging and dispensing portable batteries (204) of electrically assisted bicycles (200) is also disclosed.

As shown in Figure 1, each bat.chgr. 16 is arranged on separately storage battery rest position (" battery location ") along conveyer C, each storage battery is recharged when the socket end 15 of conveyer is delivered to mouth 14 when each storage battery.In described preferred embodiment, a battery charging plant 16 is arranged on each battery location place along two longitudinal components of conveyer C.As hereinafter will as described in, battery location at socket end 15 places of described conveyer plays a part an accumulator testing and removes the worker station, be used for (i) determine whether each storage battery that takes out can be recharged effectively, and (ii) bad storage battery is removed from described system.
As shown in Figure 2, described conveyer construction preferably includes a plurality of plumb posts 10, and framed structure 11 is installed on the described plumb post in a kind of suitable mode.Each pillar 10 vertically extends, thereby it can be applied on one or more vertical separated extension module C2, as further graphic among Figure 10 (will be described below).Each extension module comprises a conveying loop, and its structure is identical with principle of work with conveying loop C described herein basically.
As Fig. 2 is further graphic, the transmission worker T that stands comprises a location structure 12, be to sail the receptacle seat that the transmission worker is used for the front-wheel 13 of vehicle V when standing T into as shown in the figure when described vehicle, thus can with the vehicle of full-length equably, end wise is arranged in described transmission worker stands.If desired, a plurality of registration devices 12 can be arranged on the spaced positions from each other place that is used for the different length vehicle.As shown in Figure 3, the battery room 17 of described vehicle extends through described vehicle, and the side from this vehicle extends to opposite side below the crew department.As shown in figures 1 and 3, the drive sprocket that has adopted a hydraulic actuating cylinder 20 or other mobile device and be meshed with each groove on each storage battery is so that storage batteries moves apart described conveyer and moves in the vehicle V.Such as will be described below, the storage battery that enters can make original vehicle battery fully move and leave battery room 17, thereby can make one group of drive sprocket be positioned at socket end 15 places of described conveyer, finish the operation that original storage battery is removed thus.Perhaps, move fully can be by using some drive sprockets rather than using a hydraulic actuating cylinder to carry out for the storage battery of side direction.As shown in Figure 1, described structure for conveying is from socket end 15 longitudinal extensions, then horizontal expansion and turn back to mouth 14.Therefore, can provide lateral space to hold the vehicle between two vertical delivery conduits.As shown in Figure 2, the lateral part of conveying loop (that is, the part that links to each other with described two parallel longitudinal components) is elevated, and longitudinal component is inclined upward to the lateral part from the transmission worker T that stands.Like this, after having changed storage battery, vehicle is travelled (between vertical pillar 10) below in the lateral part that is elevated.Perhaps, if desired.The lateral part can be arranged on the below of sailing out of the automobile path more conveniently.This feedway can make vehicle commutate just can enter and leave described system, therefore, can make each vehicle pass through described system expeditiously in a kind of continuous mode.
Now see also Fig. 3, described system comprises a storage battery lifting subassembly 43, and this assembly can make the storage battery that is taken out with respect to conveyer C vertical shifting after described vehicle takes out storage battery.Lifting subassembly 43 takes out assembly 44 cooperations with storage battery, so that during the storage battery impassabitity accumulator testing that takes out such as working as, storage battery is removed from described delivery system.Lifting subassembly 43 also links to each other with storage battery plug-in package (not shown), so that new storage battery is inserted described delivery system, and the storage battery of scrapping with replacing.In the situation that comprises one or more extension module C2 (as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11), also adopted lifting subassembly 43, so that the storage battery between a plurality of delivery head moves, this will be further described below.The accumulator output end 14 of conveyer shown in one second storage battery lifting member can be arranged on, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.
As shown in Figure 4, described system comprises a computing machine 37, and it is controlled the service condition of described conveyer by traditional control circuit 38.Control circuit 38 can be the form that one or more standards augment card, and these augment card and are inserted in respectively expanding in the slit of described computing machine.Control circuit 38 links to each other by the various electric drive member of each control line 39 with described conveyer and lifting subassembly, and each control line has the signal that is produced according to the instruction from computing machine 37 by control circuit.
Now see also Fig. 5 A, stand each computing machine of 42 (preferably having aforesaid same configuration) of the battery charge transmission worker who distributes with city, a plurality of ground can carry out the information data access to centralized data base 40.As further describing, described data bank comprises that storage battery tracks and historical information (" historical data "), and they are preserved according to battery characteristics, and are relevant with unique ID heading code of each storage battery.For each storage battery, this information can comprise, for example, and the number of times that storage battery has been recharged, the data of in vehicle, using first and the current position (for example, battery-charging station or vehicle) of storage battery.When a given storage battery was placed a vehicle interior, location information can comprise the information relevant with vehicle and/or vehicle driver (such as the discriminating digit of a vehicle).By means of sending update request to link to each other server by described network, can stand from battery charge/transmission worker and 42 at a distance data bank 40 be upgraded with this data bank.These update requests are to change operation according to storage battery to be produced by the computing machine 37 that each worker stands.
As will be described further below, whenever with a dead battery when a vehicle disassembles, stand 42 computing machine 37 of corresponding worker is just read the heading code of this storage battery, then, described centralized data base is conducted interviews, retrieve with the historical data of this storage battery.Computing machine 37 also uses this information except the electric test result of storage battery then, to determine whether described storage battery should be abandoned or remove from described system.So just can make the decision that whether abandons this storage battery according to a plurality of standards.
Though the historical data that this preferred embodiment has adopted a centralized data base 40 to store storage battery,, what should be familiar with is that other storage means also is fine.For example, each storage battery is suitable for preserving, and can conduct interviews to their historical datas separately by being positioned at the traditional solid-state storage device of battery case in-to-in.This method has reduced or has eliminated needs to a centralized data base 40, and still, it can not provide the storage battery traceability of described centralized data base.What also should be familiar with is that traditional cache technology can be used for that respectively copying of historical data base 40 is stored in the transmission worker partly and stand 42, like this, when a storage battery is changed, just needn't conduct interviews to centralized data base 40.
The storage battery of the reality in the described vehicle is changed and can be adopted one of various other methods to finish according to the structure of described storage battery and the structure of accepting of described vehicle battery.For example, if need not a new storage batteries change mounted dead battery by force, can be in advance such as mounted, dead battery being taken off with a sprocket wheel, this will be described below.In addition,, this preferred embodiment installs and the taking-up storage battery though being the side direction on even keel,, for those skilled persons in present technique field, obviously can also make many variations to content disclosed herein and the required battery room structure of vehicle.
For example, described storage battery can vertically take out from described automobile, and then the new storage battery of vertically packing into.This embodiment is that described storage battery is vertically installed and taken out to side direction, and it can obtain a more compact system in limited region, space.Similarly, described storage battery can along one axially, on even keel is from taking out easily such as the rear portion of automobile or the front portion of automobile.The exact location of storage battery and the mode of taking-up are that a kind of like this design is considered, it can be optimized by normal test by the common skilled person in present technique field, such as the size of storage battery, the weight distribution of vehicle are taken in, and such as the car door position other imported and exported position, wheel and other analogue take in.
Though a storage battery is preferable,, also two, three, four or more a plurality of loose packed storage battery can be taken out or the car of packing in.From engineering technology or the angle that is designed beautifully, according to the structure of automobile and the cumulative volume of required storage battery, it may be comparatively ideal that a plurality of storage batterys are contained in each independent device.In addition, from the angle of customer's comfort feature, a storage battery commonly used and independent " standby " storage battery may be comparatively ideal.
According to content disclosed herein, common skilled person for the present technique field, can be easily various vertical lifts, conveyer and other structural elements of battery charge of the present invention and transmission system be made improvements, to adapt to the modification of each type.
To be described a kind of preferred means and method that is used to change storage battery below.As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 7, the transmission worker T that stands comprises that one has the hydraulic actuating cylinder 20 of a rod member 21, and described rod member stretches out effectively described storage battery or battery pack B are moved in the described vehicle.Rod member 21 laterally pushes storage battery B1 in the electric power storage stall 22 in the described vehicle.Storage battery B1 moves original vehicle battery B2, original storage battery B2 is pushed on the outlet conveyor by force towards the direction of the socket end 15 of described conveyer, on the bevelled ramp part 23 such as electric power storage stall 22.
Electric power storage stall in the described vehicle has a fixed structure, thereby holding device can be provided, so that except being provided with the transmission worker station of the suitable mobile device 16 such as hydraulic actuating cylinder 20, can prevent that all storage battery is moved sideways away from described electric power storage stall.Can any be set keep structure according to the design of storage battery and the design of electric power storage stall.For example, one or more vertically extending convex ridges or protuberance can be arranged on the installation side of storage battery and/or recess side, so that a retainer to be provided, described storage battery must be crossed on this retainer just can leave described automobile.Described retainer can be permanent location, or can move between one " locking " and " non-locking " position.Perhaps, can use any battery room breech lock, except in changing the process of storage battery, it is locking normally.In an illustrated embodiment, the installation side of electric power storage stall 22 (Fig. 7) electric power storage stall is provided with a convex shoulder, can prevent that storage battery from oppositely moving.
As shown in Figure 8, driving device D is set, moves apart described vehicle to help used storage battery side direction.As shown in Figure 7, this driving device D can comprise be suitable for the storage battery bottom surface on recess and the driven sprocket device 24 that is meshed of groove 25 (Fig. 8), accept the worker and stand on 15 so that storage battery B2 is transferred to from vehicle.Two opposite ends that each recess 25 preferably is close to storage battery B are provided with, and the sprocket engagement effect can be provided, thereby can side direction drive described storage battery.The bottom side of storage battery also has laterally spaced sprocket wheel and accepts groove 26, they can be meshed with accessory drives sprocket wheel 27 (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9), and described accessory drives sprocket wheel is suitable for each storage battery engagement and makes them move through the battery charger station gradually towards a lateral perpendicular to moving direction.From these figure, can be clear that the corresponding row recess that each recess 25,26 expression among Fig. 6 and Fig. 9 are extended along the bottom surface of storage battery.
Perhaps, any geared assembly can be arranged on the battery pack, be meshed with transmission device with transmission worker station.A kind of ad hoc structure, employing such as hook, ring, projection or groove, to decide according to the load of storage battery waiting for transmission, needs overcome in the process of taking out storage battery static friction or structure backstop action and such as the removing direction of level or vertical-lift, this is more obvious for person skilled in the art.Generally speaking, the profile of engaging structure is preferably relatively low, with minimizing farthest and other storage battery of described system or the chance of the unexpected interlocking of other parts, and enough big transmit force can be arranged so that storage battery is stood through the transmission worker.For this reason, the inventor is provided with a plurality of grooves that separate each other on the housing of storage battery, to be meshed with as shown in the figure sprocket wheel, perhaps is meshed with engaging structure on the transmission device.
Though adopting, foregoing system force original storage battery to move with the storage battery that newly enters,, also can adopt other storage battery removing method.For example, vehicle can be provided with some driving chain wheels in battery room, also therefrom takes out storage battery is moved into battery room, thereby need not force original storage battery to move.When vehicle sailed the battery charger station at first into, these sprocket wheels can utilize and one link to each other with vehicle the external energy of the electric connector of a sliding engaged (for example by) that power is provided.In addition, though the inventor has adopted a kind of like this system, wherein, each storage battery is to insert and take out towards a direction of travel path, but,, can improve each conveyer each hydraulic actuator easily with transmission worker station for person skilled in the art, so that storage battery can be taken out from the same side of vehicle and packs into if needed.
Perhaps, the bottom side of storage battery can expose when being positioned at vehicle, and like this, each laterally spaced sprocket wheel can need not be some driving chain wheels of vehicle outfitting from a zone engages that is positioned under the storage battery bottom side.Alternative is this embodiment can be constructed to be permeable to before mobile storage battery storage battery be made progress lifting and leaves the electric power storage stall.System specifically describes present embodiment below in conjunction with motor scooter.
As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 6, storage battery has contact stud 30 at its two ends, and when moving into described storage battery in the vehicle, described contact stud can be fitted automatically with the contact of vehicle interior.And being positioned on the two opposite sides of storage battery is charging contact 31, and they also can be as the test contact.Therefore, when the T place of standing the transmission worker took out storage battery from vehicle, the storage battery that is taken out promptly enters to be accepted the worker station or accepts position 15, and the contact 31 that is positioned on the side is meshed with guide rail 32 (Fig. 1) with a test.Preferably, contact stud 30 and 31 inner linking to each other of charging contact.Like this, just can carry out battery charging operation at all battery location places of the conveyer of the battery location on longitudinal component that comprises conveyer and the lateral part.As Fig. 3 is the most graphic, be positioned at the hydraulic actuating cylinder 34 of accepting position 15 with one, a vertically moving test can be promoted with contact 33 and lower, thereby can test storage battery.See also Fig. 3 again, lifting subassembly 43 is stood and 5 is linked to each other with accepting the worker, thereby can under the control of computing machine 37 bad storage battery be removed from delivery system.Storage battery is removed assembly and is preferably included a hydraulic actuating cylinder 44, in case storage battery drops to the level height of hydraulic actuating cylinder 44, described hydraulic actuating cylinder 44 can move apart the vertically moving worker of accepting with described storage battery and stand 15.
When each storage battery from a battery location when conveyer C moves to the another location continuously, contact stud or contact 31 (Fig. 1) and charging are with guide rail 35 and the engagement of 36 lines.Charging can be controlled with a pressure regulator (not shown) with guide rail 35 and 36, thereby the charging level of each storage battery is controlled.Though the charging shown in the figure only is in two longitudinal components of Fig. 1 conveyer one with guide rail 35,38,, the battery charger station had preferably not only assigned to be provided with along each longitudinal component but also along each transverse part.
As those skilled persons understood of present technique field, can use various dissimilar storage battery contacts 30,31, so that automobile and battery charger station and storage battery reversibly electrically contact.In one embodiment, contact the 30, the 31st can be according to actual propulsive effort and telescopic, the spring-loaded member in the retraction battery case.In another embodiment, can use the conductive contact surfaces that is positioned at above or below the storage battery neighbouring surface, substitute telescopic contact.Perhaps, can use any plug, clip, conductive cable and other analogue.Figure 17 shows another embodiment of storage battery best, shown in have on each side of storage battery the storage battery shown in elongated electrical contact 30,31, Figure 17 also show be used for using with a chain wheel driving mechanism, be positioned at each groove or recess 126 on the storage battery bottom side.
People may wish to prevent except the storage battery transmission of appointment and other position the battery charger station storage battery is being charged.For example, may wish to prevent that the user from utilizing the charge system of family expenses or other unauthorized device that each storage battery is recharged.This preferably forbids that by being provided with one control circuit (not shown) or switch realize, it can open or close selectively by transmission worker station, so that allow or forbid recharging.For example, storage battery can comprise one and forbid control circuit, and this circuit can only just allow to recharge when transmission worker station receives actv. encryption authorization information at storage battery.This storage battery can also comprise a time meter, and this time meter can be forbidden recharging in one period fixed time after receiving authorization message, perhaps can comprise a circuit, this circuit can battery sufficient again after the electricity, forbid recharging.Preferably, this control circuit can be worked like this, that is, when circuit is in illegal state, the charging contact is thrown off with storage battery be electrically connected.
Employed storage battery can be an any kind in the native system, comprises for example traditional lead and acid battery, alkaline secondary cell, NiCd (nickel chromium triangle) storage battery, NiMH (nickel metal hydride) storage battery or zinc-air accumulator.In addition, native system is suitable for handling battery pack or monocell, rather than whole storage battery.In this article, " storage battery " can comprise the battery, a battery pack of a complete package formula or the replaceable part of the storage battery of monocell and so on for example.
Therefore, native system is suitable for changing the battery pack or the monocell of zinc-Air type or similar storage battery, and the zinc-air cell here comprises a zinc inner core that is positioned at battery case and can changes or recharge.This system is suitable for the zinc inner core of zinc-air accumulator that the Electric Fuel Corportion in alternative such as New York or general headquarters make in the B.A.T. in California international corporation.Conveyer can be replaced the zinc inner core in the battery case, rather than whole storage battery.
Referring to Fig. 1, transfer system can utilize the cross-drive recess 25 in the battery and make storage battery be delivered to another longitudinal component along the part by label 11 expressions from a longitudinal component.Clearly visible from Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, because cross-drive sprocket wheel 24 and vertical driving chain wheel 27 can not be meshed with storage battery simultaneously, therefore, sprocket wheel 24 and driving device 24d be mounted in one can be by hydraulic actuating cylinder 24r and selectively on the supporting structure 24f of vertical shifting.Equally, a hydraulic actuating cylinder 27r can make chain wheel support 27f and sprocket transmission device 27d vertical shifting.Therefore, sprocket wheel 24 and 27 can be meshed with storage battery transmission recess 25 and 26 selectively.
Fig. 5 B shows a kind of general program of being followed the tracks of by computing machine 37 when a vehicle takes out whenever with a storage battery.Shown in square frame 60, computing machine 37 is at first read the ID sign indicating number of storage battery with bar code reader R, then centralized data base 40 is conducted interviews, and retrieves with the historical data to this storage battery.(those with the embodiment of history data store in each internal storage battery in, this step can for example comprise the radio-frequency queries to the circuit of each storage battery, so that this storage battery transmission data).When making data retrieval, computing machine 37 begins to carry out battery recharge test with electric approach, determining whether this storage battery can suitably be recharged, shown in square frame 62 like that.If this storage battery impassabitity recharges test, then it is removed from conveyer C, and is changed with a new storage battery by lifting subassembly 43, shown in square frame 64 and 66 like that.
Now see also square frame 68 and 70, if this storage battery has passed through described battery recharge test, described computing machine carries out the accumulator testing second time, it comprises that the storage battery historical data that will be retrieved compares with the predetermined standard of removing, such as maximum times that recharges and/or the longest period of service.If this storage battery can not satisfy predetermined standard value, then it is removed from described system.One electric test and the test that utilizes historical data to carry out combined to prevent from bad storage battery is packed in the vehicle higher degree.
Now see also square frame 72 and 74, in case finished accumulator testing (and if necessary then change storage battery), described conveyer is sent a battery location forward to.In addition, centralized data base is upgraded, with the test result of reflection accumulator testing.If described system comprises one or more expansion ranks or module (as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11), computing machine 37 also will be carried out coding, is used for making the storage battery between two or more ranks (this will be described below) to move.
Except the accumulator testing code that is reflected by Fig. 5 B, computing machine 37 also will be carried out coding, to guarantee storage battery full charge again before being loaded into each vehicle.In described preferred embodiment, this is to write down and next storage battery of guaranteeing to be housed to has been recharged one period shortest time and finishes by the time that the characteristic according to storage battery has recharged to each storage battery.(because storage battery enters and leave described delivery system according to first in first out, therefore, it is normally the longest that the storage battery that rests on the discharge end 14 of conveyer is arranged in time of described system.) in another embodiment, an accumulator testing worker stands and can also or can be arranged near storage battery discharge end 14 places or its, before packing into each storage battery is tested.Next storage battery of having determined to be housed in the vehicle whenever computing machine 37 does not have full charge again, and described computing machine will be gone up in a roadside shows signal (not shown) and show an information, still can not use at present to indicate each storage battery.This information preferably can also indicate the time length till those storage batterys that recharge can be used to them.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 show additional conveying loop or module are added in the described system to improve the general mode of accumulator capacity.Graphic system comprises a main conveying loop C1, and an expansion conveying loop C2 who is arranged on described main conveying loop top.This two conveying loop is identical with conveying loop C described above basically.Additional expansion conveyer also can add as required, to be adapted to various demands.In described preferred embodiment, described two conveying loops comprise the battery charger station (not shown) that is provided with along their each longitudinal component. Storage battery lifter 43A and 43B are arranged on the opposite end of two conveying loop C1, C2, so that each storage battery perpendicular movement between two delivery heads.Conveying loop C1, C2 preferably comprise along they separately longitudinal components, preferably at the bat.chgr. at each battery location place.
At work, the storage battery lifter 43A that is arranged in socket end can accept the storage battery that those take out from each vehicle by described system, and selectively each storage battery (under the control of computing machine 37) that is taken out is sent to or following conveying loop C1, C2.Lifter 43B at discharge end can move by follow procedure between two delivery heads equally, so that selectively storage battery is taken out from conveying loop, to be transported in each vehicle.In described preferred embodiment, thereby being composed of certain program, computing machine 37 can between two conveying loops, replace conversion, like this, nearly half storage battery can be carried by following conveying loop C1 in the storage battery, and second half can be carried by last conveying loop C2.Adopt this fexible unit, add some new conveying loops and can improve each storage battery in essence and spend in time in the described system, and the effective recharge time that therefore can improve each storage battery.Add some additional conveying loops and can adapt to higher demand.
