First of all, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are used as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the charging device for a vehicle according to the present invention, while implementing the air braking effect when braking the vehicle, is configured to generate electrical energy by using the generated wind resistance.

In order to implement this, the charging device of the vehicle may include a sensing unit for detecting a vehicle state, an air braking unit 200 for implementing an air braking effect through the braking unit 220 when the vehicle is braking, and braking of the vehicle from the sensing unit. It is configured to include a control unit 300 for grasping the state to operate the air breaking unit 200, a generator 230 for generating electrical energy with wind resistance, and a battery unit 400 for charging the generated electrical energy.

In detail, the detection unit detects the speed and the horizontal state of the vehicle, the state of the engine, whether the driver's accelerator and the brake are operated, and the like, and the horizontal sensor 110 for determining whether the vehicle moves on a flat, uphill, or downhill slope, An engine sensor 520 for detecting a vehicle speed, an accelerator sensor 130 for detecting an operating state of the accelerator, and a brake sensor 140 for detecting an operating state of the brake are included. Here, the horizontal sensor 110 may detect the vehicle state even when the driver does not put his foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is driving downhill.

In addition, the sensing unit may include a level sensor (not shown) for sensing the terrain of the front of the vehicle. Accordingly, the detector may detect not only the current speed of the vehicle but also whether the vehicle is braked and whether the vehicle is driving on a flat surface or driving downhill.

 In this way, the information on the vehicle state detected through the various sensors of the detector is transmitted to the controller 300.

The controller 300 receives the state information of the vehicle from the sensor and determines the current vehicle state. When the control unit 300 determines that the driving vehicle is in a braking state, the air braking unit 200 is operated to maximize the wind resistance, thereby implementing the air braking effect when the vehicle is braked. By maximizing the amount of power generated.

For example, the control unit 300 applies an operation signal to the air braking unit 300 when the vehicle travels downhill or when the vehicle decelerates by pressing the brake pedal on a flat surface, thereby implementing the air braking effect when the vehicle is braked. When the vehicle is driving uphill or when the driver accelerates by pressing the accelerator pedal, a blocking signal is applied to the air breaking unit 300 to prevent the air breaking effect from being implemented.

In addition, the control unit 300 may enable power generation using wind power by applying an operation signal to the air air breaking unit 300 when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed of 60Km / h or more at a speed of 1200 to 1800 on a flat surface. have.

The air braking unit 200 is mounted on the vehicle roof to maximize the wind resistance according to the operation signal of the control unit 300 to implement the air braking effect, and at the same time, electric energy is generated using the generated wind resistance.

To this end, the air braking unit 200 is rotatably installed in the housing 210 in order to maximize wind resistance according to the operation of the control unit 300 and the housing 210 having a plurality of power generating fans 212. The braking unit 220 is configured to, and the generator 230 to convert the wind energy into electrical energy through the rotational force of the power generating fan 212.

That is, the housing 210 is a case mounted to the vehicle roof, and the braking unit 220 is mounted on the front side thereof, and the plurality of power generating fans 212 and the rotational force of the power generating fan 212 are electrically energized therein. Each generator 230 for generating power is provided.

In the present embodiment, the housing 210 is formed in a box shape having openings 211 formed at the front and rear, but is not limited thereto. The housing 210 has openings formed at the upper and lower sides, as well as at the front and rear thereof. It could be. In addition, the housing 210 may be manufactured in an integral form together with a vehicle roof when the vehicle is manufactured, or may be manufactured in a detachable form that is detachable. In the case of the detachable housing 210, it can be manufactured to be used in an existing vehicle.

The braking unit 220 is rotatably mounted to the opening 211 of the housing 210 so that the housing 210 can be opened and closed, and the guide piece 221 mounted to the front opening 211 of the housing 210. And a slide piece 222 having one end rotatable at the opening 211 position of the guide piece 221 and slidably moved forward and backward in the guide piece 221 and the other end of the slide piece 222. The brake piece 223 is bent and connected to the outside of the slide piece 222 at one end of the slide piece 222, and driving means for operating the slide piece 222 and the brake piece 223 (not shown). It consists of.

Here, the driving means is an operating source for moving the slide piece 222 of the braking unit 220 in the front and rear direction or rotate the brake piece 223 against the wind resistance according to the operation signal of the control unit 300, In this embodiment, a driving means such as a hydraulic cylinder using hydraulic pressure is used.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the driving means is operated by the control unit 300 while the slide piece 222 is inserted into the housing 210, as shown in FIG. 4A, the driving means is connected to the housing. The slide piece 222 in the inserted state 210 may be moved forward of the vehicle along the guide piece 221. In this case, since a gap is formed between the brake piece 223 and the vehicle loop, external wind is generated. The gap may be introduced into the housing 210.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the driving means moves the slide piece 222 inserted into the housing 210 toward the front of the vehicle so that one end of the slide piece 222 is an opening at the front side of the housing 210. After being positioned at 211, the brake piece 223 may be rotated upward to maximize wind resistance. At this time, since the brake piece 223 is disposed to face the outside wind, an air braking effect can be realized, and the outside wind can be introduced into the housing 210 through a gap formed between the brake piece 223 and the vehicle roof. have.

The housing 210 is provided with a power fan 212 rotated by external wind. The power generation fan 212 is composed of a plurality of small fan (fan) consisting of a plurality, in particular, because the plurality of power generation fan 212 are staggered with each other, the external wind is in front of the fan and the rear fan Can be distributed and delivered. At this time, the housing 210 may be provided with a guide plate 213 for guiding the external wind flowing into the power generating fan 212. The guide plate 213 allows each fan to be rotated optimally without interference from the wind.

The power generation fan 212 is not a propeller type used in general wind power generation, and simply takes a form capable of accepting wind resistance. In the present embodiment, the power generation fan 212 includes five to eight wings. It is a structure that is effectively rotated by the wind. The induction plate 213 and the power generating fan 212 are preferably made of PP resin, and a material impregnated with carbon fiber or basalt fiber may be used to increase tensile, bending, and impact strength.

The generator 230 is connected to the power generating fan 212 and serves to change the kinetic energy of the power generating fan 212 rotated by external wind into electrical energy. The electric energy generated by the generator 230 is charged in the battery unit 400.

The battery unit 400 includes a plurality of rechargeable batteries and stores the generated electrical energy when the electrical energy is generated in the generator 230. The stored electrical energy can be used in various ways when power is required in the vehicle.

On the other hand, the vehicle is provided with a balance device 530 for maintaining the balance. The balance device 530 is for balancing the front and bottom of the vehicle, and prevents floating on the ground due to buoyancy when the air brake is operated through the air breaking unit 200. This is because when the vehicle moves steeply or operates a sudden brake, the vehicle may be injured (rattled) at the moment when the opening 211 of the braking unit 220 is opened to the maximum, and the balance device 530 is opened and closed. It also serves to balance the vehicle.

In addition, the vehicle is provided with an intermediate apparatus 510 for using the charged energy as a power source. The intermediate device 510 allows a plurality of capacitors connected in parallel to be moved to another capacitor when one capacitor is fully charged, and the buffered capacitor is supplied to a device requiring electricity.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of charging a vehicle, the brake determining step of sensing a vehicle state to determine whether a vehicle is in a braking state, and when the vehicle is determined to be in a braking state, arranging a braking unit to face the outside wind to implement air braking. And an air brake step, converting kinetic energy of the power generation fan into electric energy when the power generation fan is rotated by external wind during air braking, and charging the converted electric energy into the battery unit.

Specifically, the brake determination step may include various sensors installed in the vehicle, for example, a horizontal sensor 110 for detecting a horizontal state of the vehicle, an engine sensor 520 for detecting a vehicle speed, and an operation state of the accelerator and the brake. The vehicle state is detected from various sensors for detecting engine RPM, and the detected state information of the vehicle is transmitted to the controller 300.

In the air brake step, the vehicle state is determined based on the state information of the vehicle detected in the brake determination step, and the braking unit 220 is automatically or manually operated according to the vehicle state.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle is at a stopped state, at high speed, or in a state where electric power is not required during normal driving, the state in which the slide piece 222 is inserted into the housing 210 is maintained. do.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4A, when electric power generation is required during normal driving or electric power is required by using external wind in a parked state, the control unit 300 uses the driving means, the housing 210. The slide piece 222 of the state inserted in the can be moved along the guide piece 221 to the front of the vehicle. At this time, since a gap is formed between the brake piece 223 and the vehicle roof, external wind may flow into the housing 210 through the gap, and the external wind introduced into the housing 210 may be a power generation fan 212. ), The electrical energy can be generated.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the user brakes by stepping on the brake pedal, when the vehicle is determined to be in a braking state, the controller 300 moves the slide piece 222 to the front of the vehicle through the driving means to move the slide piece. After one end of the 222 is positioned in the front opening 211 of the housing 210, the brake piece 223 may be rotated upward to maximize wind resistance. At this time, since the brake piece 223 is disposed to face the outside wind, the air braking effect can be realized, and the outside wind can be introduced into the housing 210 through a gap formed between the brake piece 223 and the vehicle roof. Can be.

In particular, when the driver puts his foot on the brake pedal while the vehicle is driving downhill, the braking state of the vehicle is detected by the horizontal sensor 110 and the brake sensor 140, and the control unit 300 brakes Opening the piece 223 to exert an air brake effect to reduce the speed of the vehicle, the generator 230 is the external wind through a plurality of power generating fan 212 rotated by the external wind flowing into the housing 210 The kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, and the battery unit 400 finally stores the electrical energy converted by the generator 230 in the rechargeable battery.

This means that when the vehicle is driving downhill, the driver should put his foot on the brake pedal. In this case, abrasion and frictional force of the brake pad are generated, thereby causing a problem that the braking force of the vehicle is lowered. This can reduce unnecessary wear of the brake pads, reduce environmental pollution due to wear of the brake pads, and reduce operator fatigue.

On the other hand, in addition to the vehicle driving downhill, the present invention can obtain the electric energy by using the outside wind. For example, after parking the vehicle in a direction in which the external wind blows, if the brake piece 223 is opened to face the external wind, the power fan 212 is rotated by the external wind introduced into the housing 210, so that the battery The unit 400 may continuously store electrical energy.

In addition, when the vehicle travels in a general city other than the highway, the braking unit 220 may be manually operated to drive in a state in which the housing 210 is opened. In this case, the power generation fan 212 may be driven by external wind. When rotated, the generator 230 may produce electrical energy by rotating the power generating fan 212.

The braking method of a vehicle according to the present invention includes a brake determination step of detecting a vehicle state by determining a vehicle state and an air brake step of implementing air braking by operating an air braking unit when the vehicle is determined to be in a braking state. do.

In particular, when the vehicle is driving downhill or when the driver decelerates by pressing the brake pedal on a flat surface, detection such as the horizontal sensor 110, the engine sensor 520, the accelerator sensor 130, and the brake sensor 140 is performed. After detecting the vehicle state through the unit, the braking unit of the air braking unit is operated to be arranged to face the outside wind, thereby realizing the air braking effect.

Here, the configuration of the air braking unit and the braking unit for implementing the air braking, in the function of implementing the air braking effect, is the same as the configuration for the air braking unit and the braking unit applied to the above-described charging device more Detailed description will be omitted.
