Abstract

Anchoring electric bicycles with system load integrated in the padlock.

Bicycle anchoring system described in the application P200700520, in which the system of claim is claimed auto-anchor for remote opening via console in systems automatic loan or rental of bicycles; allowing the monitoring and control of the global system electronically, to which the necessary elements are integrated to control the state of battery charging on electric bicycles and if necessary charge the said battery to ensure the operability of The electric bicycle

Description

Anchoring electric bicycles with system load integrated in the padlock.

It is a bicycle anchoring system described in the application P200700520 to which seniors are integrated the necessary elements to control the state and perform in If necessary, charge the battery on electric bicycles.

Object of the invention

The present patent application has for object the registration of a battery charging system of electric bicycles automatically from the station itself of loan where the bicycle is anchored through the anchoring element adapted for this purpose.

The present invention is based on the system of anchor described in the request already referenced on line 8, providing for the use of the same elements that defined the anterior anchoring system, conveniently modified as details in this document.

Background of the invention

Given the growing trend for part of the authorities to promote alternative systems of transport that make it possible to travel in the cities of in a clean and sustainable way, different are being developed mobility programs that include the bicycle as a means Adequate, clean and sustainable.

One of the biggest problems presented by the bicycle as an alternative means of transport to vehicles engine is the requirement of human force to drive the transmission: "give pedals". This problem arises from a most evident in cities with steep slopes in its streets or tracks.

Here the pedaling aid is essential to facilitate mobility for bicycle users. To do this they are making a gap between traditional bicycles the electric bicycles or assisted pedaling, you are older about a traditional bicycle incorporates a pedaling sensor, an engine integrated in the front or rear wheel hub and a battery It powers the engine energetically.

To facilitate urban mobility, the stations where bicycles are being lent are being imposed, having a good number of these at predetermined points in the cities The challenge is now to introduce these systems of automatic loan, electric bicycles. To ensure the their operation is necessary to monitor the state of the Charge the battery and power it if necessary.

In order to test the state of the battery and the loading in a controlled manner the system described is proposed to then this automatic charging system ensures among others stuff:

- Electric bicycle operation.

- Automatic battery charging after use.

- Battery life.

- Availability of the bicycle after different uses.

Description of the invention

It is a bolt welded in the tube of the electric bicycle direction and connected by a cable to the two poles of the battery, this allows the fixing of the bike to the bench and therefore its anchor, and at the same time using the anchoring element itself, the level control and battery charge if it is necessary. If the load level is not adequate, it can be prevented through the automaton unlocking the bicycle for use until ensure a minimum load level that ensures the operability of the same.

The novelty of this system is that the charging system is not redundant since it is arranged in the bolt itself for anchoring and identifying the bicycle and associated with the user who has borrowed it. This is modified said bolt with respect to that already described in the application P200700520 and they incorporate two contacts connected in turn to both poles of the drums. The cables are therefore concealed in the own anchor bolt, the system being prepared Vandal-proof

These two terminals (9) figure 1 when entering the pin in the anchor block (4) figure 1 in turn contact the brushes (10) figure 1 or pressure springs with metal sphere at its ends attached to the charger, and through a device that control the intensity between the two battery terminals activate the load of the same when the relay detects that there is a bike in the device and when the intensity rises from a preset value, e interrupt this load by decreasing the nominal value of the current flowing through the charging circuit.

This system incorporates the following advantages:

- Autonomous management of the loading system of the drums.

- Load level control to ensure that the user removes a bicycle with a load and therefore operational

- Bicycle anchor and load using to it is the anchoring element itself.

- Disconnection of the charging system and therefore So much protection of it if there is no bicycle anchored.

- Adaptable to any electric bicycle.

Claims (1)

1. Integrated system for anchoring the bicycle and battery charging in automatic loan systems with electric bicycles constituted by the following elements: Bolt (1) welded to the steering tube of the electric bicycle, anchoring element (4) fixed to a bench where bicycles are loaned and returned, with pin (5) for insert in the key (2) machined in the pin (1) in the anchor (4) uniquely. Bolt (1) with two terminals (9) connected to both battery poles Bolt (1) with keyway (2) machined on both sides of the bolt thus allowing the return of bicycles electric at any anchor of the bench but allowing only anchor in anchoring systems (4) provided with loader (3) electric bicycles modifying the position of the pin (5) in one or the other side of the padlock (4) depending on the padlock without charger for conventional bicycles or padlock with charger. Anchorage (4) with two contacts (10) type brush or spring with ball of conductive material at the end, to ensure contact and charge the battery to through the two terminals that the bolt (9) carries when it is inserted in the padlock (4). Load circuit formed by an ammeter (6) which controls the battery charge level by opening when the detected intensity is very small and closing the switch (7) in Otherwise to connect the battery (11) with the charger (3). Circuit with relay (8) that detects bicycle in anchor (4) to proceed to loading if it were necessary.
