Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of electrical energy distribution from the National grid, for the supply of recharging energy to movable articles (motor vehicles, boats, etc.) equipped in an ad-hoc way and using the electrical energy stored in accumulators. This device exhibits the form of a compact terminal having no moving parts, exhibiting one surface called transfer area against which the receiver element of the movable article must come to be positioned in coincidence. The transfer of energy from the terminal to the movable article is effected at this level by electromagnetic induction. The transfer area 5 is constituted in the terminal by the load circuit of a power amplifier 4 which is itself supplied through a variable-gain preamplifier 3 by a fixed-frequency oscillator 2. A "monitor centre" unit 6 takes account of different parameters and modulates the power delivered by 4, by acting on the gain of the preamplifier 3. This device bills the energy user by means of the billing subassembly 7 associated with the energy counter 8. The assembly is connected to the national grid by the subassembly 1 constituted by the usual members for connection and safety.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution d'énergie électrique à paiement automatique et de haute sécurité.The present invention relates to an electrical energy distribution device with automatic payment and high security.

La facturation de l'énergie électrique consommée par l'utilisateur nécessite l'installation d'un compteur chez l'abonné, puis généralement le relevé des consommations affichées par le compteur, enfin toute une organisation de facturation et d'encaissement. Ces contraintes ne permettent pas la mise à disposition en "libre-service" de l'énergie électrique payable directement et instantanément par le consommateur.The billing of the electrical energy consumed by the user requires the installation of a meter at the subscriber's, then generally the statement of consumption displayed by the meter, finally a whole billing and collection organization. These constraints do not allow the provision of "self-service" electrical energy payable directly and instantly by the consumer.

Par ailleurs, le transfert des hautes tensions et/ou des fortes intensités présentent toujours des problèmes de sécurité aux niveaux des conducteurs électriques et de leurs connexions.Furthermore, the transfer of high voltages and / or high currents always presents safety problems in terms of electrical conductors and their connections.

Le dispositif se présente sous forme d'une borne compacte monobloc, sans partie mobile. Elle présente une surface ou zone de transfert, horizontale ou verticale où le récepteur du mobile vient se placer. Le dispositif suivant l'invention se comporte tel que présenté figure 1.The device is in the form of a compact monobloc terminal, with no moving part. It has a horizontal or vertical transfer surface or area where the mobile receiver is placed. The device according to the invention behaves as presented in FIG. 1.

- Les organes nécessaires au raccordement au réseau EDF (1), les organes de sécurité : fusibles disjoncteur, mise à la terre, etc, suivant les normes en vigueur, les organes nécessaires à l'alimentation des différents bloc sous-ensembles fonctionnels décrits ci-après.- The components necessary for connection to the EDF network (1), the safety components: circuit breaker fuses, earthing, etc., according to the standards in force, the components required to supply the various functional sub-assembly units described below -after.

- Un sous-ensemble oscillateur (2) générant un signal à fréquence stable multiple de fréquence du réseau de distribution auquel est raccordée la borne, et synchronisé en fréquence par celui-ci. Le sous-ensemble oscillateur génère un signal sinusoïdal de fréquence fixe comprise entre 20 et 40 kHz.- An oscillator sub-assembly (2) generating a stable frequency signal multiple of the distribution network frequency to which the terminal is connected, and frequency synchronized by it. The oscillator sub-assembly generates a sinusoidal signal with a fixed frequency between 20 and 40 kHz.

- Un sous-ensemble préamplificateur (3) à coéfficient d'amplification (gain) variable est intercalé entre l'oscillateur (2) et l'amplificateur de puissance (4). Ce préamplificateur a pour fonction de règler le niveau de puissance, délivré par l'amplificateur de puissance,au circuit de transfert (5).- A preamplifier sub-assembly (3) with variable amplification (gain) coefficient is interposed between the oscillator (2) and the power amplifier (4). The function of this preamplifier is to regulate the power level, delivered by the power amplifier, to the transfer circuit (5).

- A cet effet, le gain du préamplificateur est commandé par une tension élaborée par le sous-ensemble centrale de surveillance (6). - For this purpose, the gain of the preamplifier is controlled by a voltage developed by the central monitoring sub-assembly (6).

L'amplificateur de puissance (4) est un amplificateur périodique, son circuit de charge est un circuit résonnant parallèle accordé sur la fréquence de l'oscillateur dont l'inductance, une bobine plate de 2 spires de cuivre d'un diamètre d'environ 50 centimètres, constitue le primaire d'un transformateur HF, le secondaire de celui-ci faisant partie du mobile, la mise en colncidence des deux parties de ce transformateur se faisant au niveau de la surface de transfert (5) de la borne.The power amplifier (4) is a periodic amplifier, its charging circuit is a parallel resonant circuit tuned to the frequency of the oscillator including the inductance, a flat coil of 2 copper turns with a diameter of approximately 50 centimeters, is the primary of an HF transformer, the secondary of which is part of the mobile, the coincidence of the two parts of this transformer being at the transfer surface (5) of the terminal.

Le transfert d'énergie : le circuit de charge de l'amplificateur de puissance sera disposé contre la zone de transfert, de telle façon que la section de l'inductance le constituant soit immobilisée le long d'un plan fixe horizontal ou vertical prévu sur la borne pour recevoir en coincidence le plan de la section du circuit récepteur du mobile, de telle façon que les axes de ces deux inductances soient confondus et que la distance séparant ces inductances soit minimum.Energy transfer: the load circuit of the power amplifier will be placed against the transfer area, so that the section of the inductor constituting it is immobilized along a horizontal or vertical fixed plane provided on the terminal for receiving coincidentally the plane of the section of the receiver circuit of the mobile, so that the axes of these two inductors are coincident and the distance separating these inductors is minimum.

Le circuit récepteur du mobile (inductance accordée sur la fréquence de l'oscillateur de la borne) sera inclus dans un élément de la carrosserie du mobile (auto ou bateau) pouvant par articulation venir en coincidence satisfaisante avec la surface de transfert de la borne.The receiver circuit of the mobile (inductance tuned to the frequency of the terminal's oscillator) will be included in an element of the body of the mobile (car or boat) which can by articulation come into satisfactory coincidence with the transfer surface of the terminal.

La délivrance d'énergie est autorisée par l'application au sous-ensemble préamplificateur (3) d'une tension convenable. Cette tension est générée par l'ensemble centrale de surveillance (6). Cette tension appliquée au préamplificateur (3) permet également de moduler le niveau de puissance délivrée par l'amplificateur de puissance, l'absence de cette tension d'autorisation empêche la délivrance d'énergie ou l'arrente si celle-ci est en cours.The delivery of energy is authorized by the application to the preamplifier sub-assembly (3) of a suitable voltage. This voltage is generated by the central monitoring unit (6). This voltage applied to the preamplifier (3) also makes it possible to modulate the level of power delivered by the power amplifier, the absence of this authorization voltage prevents the delivery of energy or the stopping if it is in progress. .

Pour générer ce signal d'autorisation, le sous-ensemble centrale du surveillance (6) émet en permanence un signal récurent.To generate this authorization signal, the central monitoring sub-assembly (6) continuously transmits a recurring signal.

Si le circuit récepteur du mobile est correctement positionné par rapport à la surface du transfert de la borne, si la coincidence des plans et des axes des deux inductances borne/mobile est satisfaisante, le train d'impulsion émis par le sous-ensemble centrale de surveillance lui est renvoyé avec le déphasage convenable.If the mobile receiver circuit is correctly positioned in relation to the terminal transfer surface, if the planes and axes of the two terminal / mobile inductors are satisfactory, the pulse train emitted by the central sub-assembly of monitoring is returned to it with the appropriate phase shift.

Ce déphasage est apporté par la centrale de contrôle du mobile (9), il traduit l'état de charge des batteries et par là permet ou interrompt la charge de celles-ci. This phase shift is provided by the mobile control center (9), it translates the state of charge of the batteries and thereby enables or interrupts the charging of the latter.

Si pour une raison quelconque le positionnement relatif borne/mobile venait à se modifier, le cheminement du signal serait interrompu, interdisant la délivrance d'énergie par la borne. L'ensemble centrale de surveillance (6) reçoit d'autre part un signal de validation de fourniture d'énergie depuis l'ensemble de facturation. Ces deux signaux sont appliqués au préamplificateur (3) qui alimente l'amplificateur de puissance (4).If for some reason the relative terminal / mobile positioning changes, the signal flow will be interrupted, preventing the delivery of energy by the terminal. The central monitoring unit (6) also receives an energy supply validation signal from the billing unit. These two signals are applied to the preamplifier (3) which supplies the power amplifier (4).

L'ensemble de facturation reçoit et garde en permanence pendant la durée d'utilisation de la borne le titre de paiement de l'abonné (carte de crédit ou ticket informatisé). La valeur créditée initialement sur le titre de paiement est graduellement diminué de la valeur de l'énergie distribuée par la borne, au moyen d'un compteur d'énergie (8) associé à l'amplificateur de puissance et mesurant l'énergie effectivement délivrée par celui-ci.The billing system receives and permanently keeps the subscriber's payment voucher (credit card or computerized ticket) during the use of the terminal. The value initially credited on the payment voucher is gradually reduced by the value of the energy distributed by the terminal, by means of an energy meter (8) associated with the power amplifier and measuring the energy actually delivered. by this one.

Lorsque le crédit devient nul, la centrale de facturation n'envoie plus de signal de validation à la centrale de surveillance, la borne ne délivre plus d'énergie et restitue le titre de paiement. When the credit becomes zero, the billing center no longer sends a validation signal to the central monitoring station, the terminal no longer delivers energy and returns the payment voucher.
