Beschreibung description
Ladestation für einen fahrzeugseitigen Energiespeicher Charging station for an energy storage device on the vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ladestation zum Aufladen eines Energiespeichers eines elektrisch angetriebenen Fahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Elektrobusses, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. The invention relates to a charging station for charging an energy store of an electrically driven vehicle, in particular an electric bus, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine derartige Ladestation für ein Fahrzeug ist beispielswei se aus der Veröffentlichung EP 3031 658 Al bekannt. Sie um fasst wenigstens zwei elektrische Kontakte, um in gegenseiti gem Kontakt mit wenigstens zwei komplementären elektrischen Kontakten des Fahrzeugs elektrische Verbindungen zwischen dem Fahrzeug und der Ladestation herzustellen. Die Ladestation ist derart ausgebildet, dass die elektrischen Kontaktelemente der Ladestation wenigstens vertikal bewegbar ausgeführt sind. Die elektrischen Kontaktelemente weisen Längen auf, welche eine Breite des Fahrzeugs unterschreiten. Wenigstens zwei elektrische Kontaktelemente der Ladestation sind so angeord net, dass sie in einer vorgegebenen Ladeposition des Fahr zeugs quer zu ihren komplementären elektrischen Kontaktele menten des Fahrzeugs verlaufen. Bei hergestellter elektri scher Ladeverbindung besteht je Ladekontakt ein punktförmiger galvanischer Kontakt zwischen den elektrischen Kontaktelemen ten zur Übertragung des Ladestroms. Such a charging station for a vehicle is known for example se from the publication EP 3031 658 A1. It comprises at least two electrical contacts in order to produce electrical connections between the vehicle and the charging station in mutual contact with at least two complementary electrical contacts of the vehicle. The charging station is designed in such a way that the electrical contact elements of the charging station are designed to be at least vertically movable. The electrical contact elements have lengths which are less than a width of the vehicle. At least two electrical contact elements of the charging station are arranged in such a way that in a predetermined loading position of the vehicle they run transversely to their complementary electrical contact elements of the vehicle. When the electrical shear charging connection is established, there is a point-like galvanic contact between the electrical Kontaktelemen th for transmitting the charging current.
Damit die Ladestation im öffentlichen Straßenraum eine Durch fahrtshöhe von mindestens 4,5 m einhalten kann, hat die Stel leinrichtung für die stationsseitigen Kontaktelemente einen Hub von mehr als 1,5 m zwischen der oberen Ruheposition und der unteren Ladeposition zu überbrücken. Hierzu umfasst die Stelleinrichtung ein pantographenartiges Gestell mit einem Ober- und einem Unterarm, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. Der Oberarm ist an einem Lademast angelenkt und mit dem freien Ende des Unterarms ist ein die stationsseitigen Kon taktelemente aufweisender Kontaktkopf gelenkig verbunden. Der Kontaktkopf weist Abmessungen mit einer Breite von 1,4 m und einer Länge von 0,67 m auf. Die Stelleinrichtung umfasst au ßerdem eine Zugfeder mit Umlenkmechanik, einen Spindelantrieb mit Bremse sowie Tellerfedern und eine Steuereinheit auf. So that the charging station can maintain a clearance height of at least 4.5 m in the public street, the actuating device for the station-side contact elements has to bridge a stroke of more than 1.5 m between the upper rest position and the lower charging position. For this purpose, the actuating device comprises a pantograph-like frame with an upper arm and a lower arm, which are articulated to one another. The upper arm is hinged to a loading mast and with the free end of the forearm a contact head having the station-side con tact elements is articulated. The contact head has dimensions with a width of 1.4 m and a length of 0.67 m. The actuating device also includes a tension spring with a deflection mechanism, a spindle drive with a brake, as well as plate springs and a control unit.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Ladesta tion der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, die weniger komplex, kleiner und weniger kostenaufwändig in der Herstel lung ist. The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a charging station of the type mentioned at the outset, which is less complex, smaller and less costly to manufacture.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Ladestation der eingangs genannten Art mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentan spruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Demnach ist die Ladestation geeignet und dazu vorgesehen, einen Energiespeicher eines elektrisch angetriebenen Fahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Elekt robusses, über eine mindestens zweipolige Ladeschnittstelle zum Fahrzeug aufzuladen. Das Fahrzeug weist dabei für jeden Ladepol ein fahrzeugseitiges Kontaktelement auf, welche bei spielsweise im Bereich des Fahrzeugdaches angeordnet sind.The object is achieved by a charging station of the type mentioned with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 patent. Accordingly, the charging station is suitable and provided for charging an energy store of an electrically driven vehicle, in particular an electric bus, via an at least two-pole charging interface to the vehicle. The vehicle has a vehicle-side contact element for each charging pole, which are arranged for example in the area of the vehicle roof.
Die Ladestation umfasst einen Kontaktkopf, der für jeden La depol ein stationsseitiges Kontaktelement aufweist. Ist die Ladeschnittstelle beispielsweise vierpolig, können die Kon taktelemente als Kontaktschienen ausgebildet sein, die einen H-förmigen Kontaktkopf bilden. Ferner umfasst die Ladestation eine Stelleinrichtung, mittels welcher der Kontaktkopf um ei ne Hubhöhe zwischen einer oberen Ruheposition und einer unte ren Ladeposition verstellbar ist. Die Stelleinrichtung weist eine Stellstange und einen mit dieser gekoppelten Stellan trieb auf. Die Stellstange weist ein unteres Ende, mit dem der Kontaktkopf verbunden ist, und ein oberes Ende auf. Zwi schen dem unteren Ende und dem oberen Ende ist die Stellstan ge gelenkfrei ausgebildet und weist eine Länge auf, die grö ßer als die Hubhöhe ist. Hierdurch genügt im Wesentlichen ei ne einzige Stellstange wodurch die erfindungsgemäße Stellein richtung im Vergleich zu mehrgliedrigen, zusätzliche Gelenke erfordernden Traggestellen für den Kontaktkopf einfacher und kostengünstiger herstellbar sind. In einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsge mäßen Ladestation ist die Stelleinrichtung derart ausgebil det, dass ihre Hubhöhe geringer als 1,5 m ist. Durch eine entsprechende Kürzung der Stellstange kann die erfindungsge mäße Ladestation besonders vorteilhaft in Fahrzeugdepots ein gesetzt werden, wo geringere Durchfahrtshöhen vorhanden und zulässig sind. The charging station comprises a contact head which has a station-side contact element for each La depol. If the charging interface is four-pole, for example, the con tact elements can be designed as contact rails that form an H-shaped contact head. Furthermore, the charging station comprises an adjusting device by means of which the contact head can be adjusted by a lifting height between an upper rest position and a lower charging position. The adjusting device has an adjusting rod and an actuator coupled to this Stellan. The control rod has a lower end to which the contact head is connected and an upper end. Between tween the lower end and the upper end, the control rod is designed without joints and has a length which is greater than the lifting height. As a result, a single control rod is essentially sufficient, so that the Stellin device according to the invention can be produced more easily and cost-effectively for the contact head compared to multi-link, additional joints requiring support frames. In an advantageous embodiment of the charging station according to the invention, the actuating device is designed in such a way that its lifting height is less than 1.5 m. By shortening the control rod accordingly, the charging station according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in vehicle depots where lower clearance heights are available and permissible.
In einem weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel der er findungsgemäßen Ladestation ist der Kontaktkopf derart bemes sen, dass die stationsseitigen Kontaktelemente innerhalb ei nes Rechtecks angeordnet sind, dessen Länge kleiner oder gleich 1,4 m und dessen Breite kleiner oder gleich 0,67 m sind. Durch eine Verkleinerung des Kontaktkopfes kann die er findungsgemäße Ladestation noch leichter und kostengünstiger hergestellt werden. Die damit einhergehende geringere Tole ranz beim Einnehmen der Ladeposition kann in Fahrzeugdepots in Kauf genommen werden, da hier mehr Zeit zum Positionieren des Fahrzeugs zur Verfügung steht als im öffentlichen Stra ßenraum. Außerdem können Markierungen und/oder Navigations hilfen die Fahrzeugpositionierung im Fahrzeugdepot unterstüt zen. In a further advantageous embodiment of the charging station according to the invention, the contact head is dimensioned such that the station-side contact elements are arranged within a rectangle whose length is less than or equal to 1.4 m and whose width is less than or equal to 0.67 m. By reducing the size of the contact head, the charging station according to the invention can be produced even more easily and cost-effectively. The associated lower tolerance when assuming the loading position can be accepted in vehicle depots, since there is more time available to position the vehicle than in public streets. In addition, markings and / or navigation aids can support vehicle positioning in the vehicle depot.
In einem weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel der er findungsgemäßen Ladestation ist die Stellstange an ihrem obe ren Ende gelenkig mit einer stationsseitigen Halterung ver bunden, so dass der Kontaktkopf um das obere Ende der Stell stange drehbar gelagert ist, wobei die Stellstange an ihrem unteren Ende gelenkig mit dem Kontaktkopf verbunden ist.

Gemäß FIG 1 und FIG 2 dient eine erfindungsgemäße Ladestation 1 dem Aufladen eines Energiespeichers 2 eines elektrisch an getriebenen Fahrzeugs 3, insbesondere eines Elektrobusses.According to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a charging station 1 according to the invention is used to charge an energy store 2 of an electrically powered vehicle 3, in particular an electric bus.
Die Ladestation ist beispielsweise in einem Depot des Fahr zeugs 3 installiert. Der Ladevorgang erfolgt über eine vier- polige Ladeschnittstelle zum Fahrzeug 3. Das Fahrzeug 3 weist für jeden Ladepol ein fahrzeugseitiges Kontaktelement 4 auf, die auf dem Fahrzeugdach angeordnet sind. Ein Kontaktkopf 5 der Ladestation 1 weist entsprechend für jeden Ladepol ein stationsseitiges Kontaktelement 6 auf. Die Ladestation 1 weist eine Stelleinrichtung 7 zum Verstellen des Kontaktkop- fes 5 um eine Hubhöhe H zwischen einer oberen Ruheposition (FIG 1) und einer unteren Ladeposition (FIG 2) auf. Die Stel leinrichtung 7 weist eine Stellstange 8 und einen mit dieser gekoppelten Stellantrieb, für den auf die FIG 5 bis 12 ver wiesen wird, auf. Die Stellstange 7 ist über eine depotseiti- ge Halterung 10 an einer Hallendecke oder einer Traverse des Fahrzeugdepots 11 befestigt. Die Stellstange 8 hat ein unte res Ende 12, mit dem der Kontaktkopf 5 verbunden ist, und ein diesem gegenüber liegendes, oberes Ende 13. Zwischen dem un teren Ende 12 und dem oberen Ende 13 ist die Stellstange 8 gelenkfrei ausgebildet. Sie ist vorzugsweise gerade und starr. Die Stellstange 8 weist eine Länge L auf, die größer als die Hubhöhe H ist. Die Hubhöhe H beträgt vorzugsweise we niger als 1,5 m. The charging station is installed in a depot of the vehicle 3, for example. The charging process takes place via a four-pole charging interface to the vehicle 3. The vehicle 3 has a vehicle-side contact element 4 for each charging pole, which contact element 4 is arranged on the vehicle roof. A contact head 5 of the charging station 1 accordingly has a station-side contact element 6 for each charging pole. The charging station 1 has an adjusting device 7 for adjusting the contact head fes 5 by a lifting height H between an upper rest position (FIG 1) and a lower loading position (FIG 2). The Stel leinrichtung 7 has an actuating rod 8 and an actuator coupled to this, for which reference is made to FIGS. 5 to 12 on. The control rod 7 is fastened to a hall ceiling or a traverse of the vehicle depot 11 via a bracket 10 on the depot side. The control rod 8 has an unte res end 12 to which the contact head 5 is connected, and an opposite, upper end 13. Between the un lower end 12 and the upper end 13, the control rod 8 is joint-free. It is preferably straight and rigid. The adjusting rod 8 has a length L which is greater than the lifting height H. The lifting height H is preferably less than 1.5 m.
Gemäß FIG 3 und FIG 4 sind die stationsseitigen Kontaktele mente 6 als parallel ausgerichtete Kontaktschienen ausgebil det, die - gegenseitig isoliert - einen Pluspol 6P, einen Mi nuspol 6N, einen Erdungspol 6E sowie einen Kontrollpol 6C bilden. Die beiden Kontaktschienen bilden mit einem diese verbindenden Quersteg 14 den H-förmigen Kontaktkopf 5, der über ein Kopfgelenk 15 mit dem unteren Ende 12 der Stellstan ge 8 verbunden ist. Der Kontaktkopf 5 ist derart bemessen, dass die stationsseitigen Kontaktelemente 6 innerhalb eines Rechtecks angeordnet sind, dessen Länge 1 kleiner als 1,4 m und dessen Breite b kleiner als 0,67 m ausgeführt werden kann. In abgesenkter Ladeposition kontaktiert der Ladekopf 5 die entsprechenden fahrzeugseitigen Kontaktelemente 4 auf dem Fahrzeugdach, die ebenfalls als parallel ausgerichtete Kon taktschienen ausgebildet sind und - gegenseitig isoliert - einen Pluspol 4P, einen Minuspol 4N, einen Erdungspol 4E so wie einen Kontrollpol 4C bilden. Die fahrzeugseitigen Kon taktschienen sind parallel zu einer Fahrzeuglängsachse ausge richtet und liegen bei eingenommener Ladeposition des Fahr zeugs 3 quer zu den Kontaktschienen des Kontaktkopfs 5, so dass je Ladepol eine punktförmige Kontaktstelle zwischen den einander zugeordneten Kontaktelementen 6 und 4 hergestellt ist. Der Ladestrom fließt über die Pluspole 6P und 4P und Mi- nuspole 4M und 6M. Über die Erdungspole 4E und 6E wird wäh rend des Ladevorgangs eine Schutzerdung von elektrisch lei tenden Teilen des gummibereiften Fahrzeugs 3, etwa der Karos serie, über die Ladestation gebildet. Über den Kontrollpol 4C und 6C wird die Schutzleiterverbindung überwacht, um im Feh lerfall den Ladevorgang abbrechen zu können. Durch einen im Vergleich zu Ladestationen im öffentlichen Straßenraum, bei spielsweise an Bushaltestelle, verkleinerten Kontaktkopf 5 der erfindungsgemäßen Depotladestation 1 werden Gewicht und Herstellungskosten eingespart. Die damit einhergehende gerin gere Toleranz beim Positionieren des Fahrzeugs 3 kann durch Markierungen oder durch andere Navigationshilfen, etwa ein lokales Positionsbestimmungssystem mit Positionssensoren und Anzeigen, für den Fahrzeugführer kompensiert werden. According to FIG 3 and FIG 4, the station-side Kontaktele elements 6 are designed as parallel contact rails, which - mutually isolated - form a positive pole 6P, a negative pole 6N, a grounding pole 6E and a control pole 6C. The two contact rails form with a crosspiece 14 connecting them the H-shaped contact head 5, which is connected via a head joint 15 to the lower end 12 of the actuating rod 8. The contact head 5 is dimensioned such that the station-side contact elements 6 are arranged within a rectangle, the length 1 of which can be made smaller than 1.4 m and the width b of which can be made smaller than 0.67 m. In the lowered loading position, the charging head 5 contacts the corresponding vehicle-side contact elements 4 on the vehicle roof, which are also designed as parallel con tact rails and - mutually isolated - form a positive pole 4P, a negative pole 4N, a grounding pole 4E and a control pole 4C. The vehicle-side contact rails are aligned parallel to a vehicle longitudinal axis and, when the vehicle 3 is in the loading position, lie transversely to the contact rails of the contact head 5, so that a punctiform contact point is made between the associated contact elements 6 and 4 for each charging pole. The charging current flows through the positive poles 6P and 4P and Mi nuspole 4M and 6M. During the charging process, a protective earth of electrically conductive parts of the rubber-tyred vehicle 3, such as the body series, is formed via the charging station via the earth poles 4E and 6E. The protective conductor connection is monitored via the control pole 4C and 6C in order to be able to abort the charging process in the event of an error. Due to a contact head 5 of the depot charging station 1 according to the invention, which is reduced in size compared to charging stations in the public road space, for example at bus stops, weight and manufacturing costs are saved. The associated lower tolerance when positioning the vehicle 3 can be compensated for by markings or other navigation aids, for example a local position determination system with position sensors and displays, for the vehicle driver.
Gemäß FIG 1 und FIG 2 sowie FIG 5 bis FIG 10 ist die Stell stange 8 an ihrem oberen Ende 13 gelenkig mit der depotseiti gen Halterung 10 verbunden, so dass der Kontaktkopf 5 um das obere Ende 13 der Stellstange 8 drehbar gelagert ist. According to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 to FIG. 10, the actuating rod 8 is articulated at its upper end 13 to the depotseiti holder 10, so that the contact head 5 is rotatably mounted about the upper end 13 of the actuating rod 8.
Für die gelenkige Verbindung zwischen dem unteren Ende 12 der Stellstange 8 genügt nach FIG 5 und FIG 6 ein geringer Bewe gungsfreiheitsgrad . Die Stellstange 8 wird durch einen als pneumatischer oder hydraulischer Hubzylinder 9 ausgebildeten Stellantrieb gedreht. Die Drehbewegung D ist in FIG 6 durch einen Pfeil angedeutet. In der Ruheposition bilden die Kon taktschienen des Kontaktkopfes 5 gemäß FIG 5 einen Winkel mit der Horizontalen, so dass nach Absenken des Kontaktkopfes 5 in die Ladeposition seine Kontaktschienen gemäß FIG 6 etwa horizontal ausgerichtet sind. Der Bewegungsfreiheitsgrad des Kontaktkopfes 5 relativ zur Stellstange 8 ermöglicht beim An drücken des Kontaktkopfes 5 an die fahrzeugseitigen Kontakt schienen ein gleichmäßige Kontaktkraftverteilung über die La depole. For the articulated connection between the lower end 12 of the actuating rod 8, according to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a low degree of freedom of movement is sufficient. The actuating rod 8 is rotated by an actuating drive designed as a pneumatic or hydraulic lifting cylinder 9. The rotary movement D is indicated in FIG. 6 by an arrow. In the rest position, the contact rails of the contact head 5 according to FIG. 5 form an angle with the horizontal, so that after lowering the contact head 5 into the loading position, its contact rails are aligned approximately horizontally according to FIG. 6. The degree of freedom of movement of the contact head 5 relative to the control rod 8 allows when pressing the contact head 5 to the vehicle-side contact seemed a uniform contact force distribution across the La depole.
Gemäß FIG 7 und FIG 8 bildet die Stellstange 8 mit einem Füh rungsgestänge 17 eine Parallelogrammführung für den Kontakt kopf 5, wobei die gelenkige Verbindung zwischen dem Kontakt- köpf 5 und der Stellstange 8 nun einen größeren Bewegungs freiheitsgrad aufweist als im Ausführungsbeispiel nach FIG 5 und FIG 6. Durch die Parallelogrammführung bleibt beim Über gang zwischen Ruheposition gemäß FIG 7 und Ladeposition gemäß FIG 8 eine horizontale Ausrichtung des Kontaktkopfes 5 wäh rend der Drehbewegung D der Stellstange 8 erhalten. Hierdurch können Fahrzeuge 3 unterschiedlicher Fahrzeughöhen geladen werden. Der Stellantrieb ist hier wieder als Hubzylinder 9 ausgeführt. According to FIG 7 and FIG 8, the control rod 8 forms with a Füh approximately linkage 17 a parallelogram guide for the contact head 5, the articulated connection between the contact head 5 and the control rod 8 now has a greater degree of freedom of movement than in the embodiment according to FIG 5 and FIG 6 the control rod 8 received. This allows vehicles 3 of different vehicle heights to be charged. The actuator is again designed as a lifting cylinder 9 here.
Gemäß FIG 9 bis FIG 12 kann der Stellantrieb für die Stell stange 8 jedoch auch durch eine Seilwinde 17 gebildet sein, deren Zugseil 18 über eine Umlenkrolle 19 zu einem Befesti gungspunkt an der Stellstange 8 geführt ist. Am anderen Ende des Zugseils 18 ist ein Gegengewicht 20 angebracht, welches den Einsatz eines leistungsärmeren Windenantriebs erlaubt.According to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the actuator for the actuating rod 8 can, however, also be formed by a cable winch 17, the pull rope 18 of which is guided via a pulley 19 to a fastening point on the actuating rod 8. At the other end of the pull rope 18 a counterweight 20 is attached, which allows the use of a lower-powered winch drive.
Der Windenantrieb kann räumlich von Stellstange 8 und Kon taktkopf 5 abgesetzt werden. Der Kontaktkopf 5 ist hier wie der über eine durch Stellstange 8 und Führungsgestänge 17 ge bildete Parallelogrammführung horizontal ausgerichtet ge führt. The winch drive can be spatially offset from the control rod 8 and Kon contact head 5. The contact head 5 is here as the parallelogram guide formed horizontally ge via a ge by adjusting rod 8 and guide linkage 17 leads.
Gemäß FIG 11 und FIG 12 ist die Stellstange 8 in mit der sta tionsseitigen Halterung 10 verbundenen Gleitführungen 21 längsverschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Linearführung erlaubt ei ne Vertikalbewegung V der senkrecht ausgerichteten Stellstan ge 8, so dass der an ihrem unteren Ende angebrachte Kontakt kopf 5 mittels des durch eine Seilwinde 17 gebildeten Stell antriebs zwischen oberer Ruheposition gemäß FIG 11 und unte rer Ladeposition gemäß FIG 12 verstellbar ist. According to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the actuating rod 8 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable in sliding guides 21 connected to the bracket 10 on the station side. The linear guide allows ei ne vertical movement V of the vertically aligned adjusting rod ge 8, so that the contact head 5 attached to its lower end can be adjusted between the upper rest position according to FIG. 11 and lower loading position according to FIG. 12 by means of the adjusting drive formed by a cable winch 17.
Durch die zwischen ihren Enden gelenkfreie Stellstange 8 und die reduzierten Dimensionen des Kontaktkopfes 5 ist es mög lich, eine Ladestation 1 für Fahrzeugdepots 11 bereitzustel len, die wesentlich kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann. Due to the joint-free control rod 8 between its ends and the reduced dimensions of the contact head 5, it is possible, please include a charging station 1 for vehicle depots 11 available, which can be manufactured much more cheaply.
