Thereafter, the fixing part 180 is retracted into the floor surface by the force applied to the inclined surface, and when the front wheel of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 completely enters the charging storage unit 110, the force applied to the fixing part 180 is Since it is removed, the fixing part 180 protrudes from the bottom surface of the charging storage part 110 again by the spring and can support the front wheel. Accordingly, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stably supported and the battery can be charged. The form in which the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored allows not only the front wheels to enter first, but also the rear wheels to enter first.

Meanwhile, when the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is taken out from the charging storage unit 110 after charging is completed, a separate fixing release button (not shown) may be used to release the support from the fixing unit 180. This release button 190 may be provided on one side of each charging port 100, and the user may take the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 out of the charging compartment 110 while pressing the release button 190. It becomes possible.

<Assembly of the charging unit>

Figure 11 is a diagram schematically showing how the charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided in a modular manner and a plurality of charging units are combined or separated from each other, and Figure 12 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram schematically showing how the charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle is provided in a modular manner and assembled to adjust the size according to space.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of individual charging units in which the charger body 10 is based on each charging port 100. It can be separated into (190).

Specifically, the charger main body 10 may be formed by the charging unit 190 composed of each charging storage unit 110 being provided in a modular manner and assembled together. In other words, another charging unit 190 can be easily added to or removed from one charging unit 190. Accordingly, the plurality of charging units 190 can be combined or separated from each other, so that the administrator can change the form in various ways depending on the installation environment. In other words, it is possible for eight charging units 190 to be assembled into a hexahedron as shown in FIG. 1, but depending on the space used, four charging units 190 may be assembled and used, or two charging units 190 may be used. It can also be assembled and used.

Additionally, the charging unit 190 can be assembled in various shapes as well as a hexahedron. That is, the charging unit 190 can be assembled in a T-shape or a pyramid shape. Accordingly, the charger body 10 of the present invention, which can be installed in public places, is assembled in various forms in addition to its original purpose of charging the battery of an electric two-wheeled vehicle 20, allowing the beauty of public structures to be felt from an aesthetic point of view. The effect can occur.

Meanwhile, each of the plurality of charging units 190 may be equipped with a communication module such as a Near Field Communication (NFC) module. Therefore, a server (not shown) can monitor the charging unit 190 and receive various information related to the charging unit 190. The types of information received at this time include information about whether the charging unit 190 is currently occupied or unoccupied, information about whether the charging unit 190 is operating normally, and information about the current charging state of the charging unit 190. , may include battery information remaining in the charging unit 190 and other information. These individually installed charging units 190 can be used as a mobile charging device. This communication can be either wired or wireless-based.

On the other hand, when the charging unit 190 is assembled in multiple pieces such as 2x2, 3x3, NxN, etc., all assembled charging units 190 can be connected to one edge device capable of communication so that they can be monitored by the server. . Here, the edge device is provided on one side of the assembled charging unit 190 and can process and synthesize information on each assembled charging unit 190 and communicate with the server. At this time, communication based on wired or wireless is possible.

That is, since the edge device has a processing unit responsible for information processing and a storage unit responsible for memory, the information collected about each charging unit 190 is stored inside the edge device, and the collected information is calculated to Processing can also be done to deliver it to a centrally located server.

Therefore, for each charging unit 190, information about whether it is currently occupied or not occupied, information about whether the charging unit 190 is operating normally, information about the current charging state of the charging unit 190, charging unit ( Information on the installed charging unit 190, such as remaining battery information and other information, may be collected and transmitted to the server.

Such an edge device is intended to monitor the status of a plurality of charging units 190 and distribute some of the computational burden of the server. If an edge device is not provided, the information of all charging units 190 is concentrated in the server, and as a result, the amount of information processed by the server increases, increasing the load on the system, resulting in a limit to the system.

Specifically, the charging device according to the present invention can be operated not only in one city or province, but also nationwide. Accordingly, the number of charging units 190 installed in one area will usually be about dozens, and when the installed area is expanded to multiple areas, the number of charging units 190 will be expanded to thousands or more. If all the information of the charging unit 190 is processed by a server located in one central location, overload may occur when information is concentrated in one place and transmitted and received, and operation efficiency may be reduced due to overload in processing in the system itself. will be. Therefore, it is inevitable that users and administrators will experience a lot of inconvenience in receiving information.

For this reason, the edge device is provided on one side of the assembled charging unit 190, distributes and processes the information of the connected charging units 190, processes the processed information, and transmits it to the server to prevent concentration in the system. It can be done.

<Drain holes and drainage channels on the charger body>

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, it will be explained that the drain hole 111 and the drain channel 112 are formed in the charger main body 10.

Figure 13 is a diagram schematically showing the formation of a drain and a drain in a charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 14 is a diagram showing a drain and a drain in a charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram schematically showing how water falls from the wheels of an electric two-wheeled device and is discharged through a drain.

As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a drain 111 for draining water formed on the bottom of the charging compartment 110. A plurality of such drain holes 111 may be formed in a circular or polygonal shape with a predetermined size within the area of the charging storage unit 110.

In addition, at the bottom of the drain hole 111, a drain channel 112 is formed in an inclined shape that descends in the direction opposite to the charging hole 100. This drain 112 has a predetermined width inside the charger main body 10, and its length extends to the edge of the charger main body 10 so that moisture moving along the drain 112 flows to the outside of the charger main body 10. It can be released.

Specifically, when a user uses an electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 and it rains or puddles form after rain, moisture may be adsorbed to the front and rear wheels of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20. If the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored in the charging storage unit 110 in this state, a large amount of moisture exists inside the charging storage unit 110 due to moisture.

Therefore, it is necessary to properly remove moisture, and if this is not done, a short circuit may occur in the charger body 10, which is an electronic device. This may shorten the maintenance cycle of the charger main body 10, and in severe cases, it may cause damage to the charger main body 10 due to electrical leakage and cause dangerous situations such as fire.

Therefore, in the present invention, in order to prevent electric leakage accidents caused by moisture as much as possible, a drain 111 is formed on the bottom of the charging storage unit 110, and a drain 112 is formed at the bottom of the drain 111. Therefore, when the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored in the charging storage unit 110, the moisture contained in the front and rear wheels falls in the direction of the arrow by gravity, and the lowered moisture passes through a plurality of drain holes 111 to the drain ( 112).

In addition, since the drain 112 descends and is inclined in the opposite direction to the charging port 100, the moisture settled in the drain 112 moves along the inclined drain 112 as shown in the direction of the arrow, and the moved moisture is moved by the arrow. It can be discharged to the outside as directed.

As a result, the charging device for the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 according to the present invention can minimize the maintenance effort that may be caused by moisture during charging. Additionally, users can also reduce the effort of separately removing moisture from the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20.

<Sealing the charging port>

Hereinafter, referring to the drawings, it will be explained that the charging port 100 is sealed when an electric two-wheeled vehicle is stored in the charging storage unit 110.

Figure 15 is a diagram schematically showing an electric two-wheeled vehicle and a folded state of the electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 16 schematically shows the charging port being sealed by the electric two-wheeled vehicle shown in Figure 15. It is a drawing.

As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be folded by installing a handle portion 230 on the folding module 220. The folding module 220 may be formed as a hexahedron approximately as wide as the charging port 100 and placed on the front wheel of the plate 210. Additionally, the height can cover approximately the height of the charging port 100. Additionally, a vehicle terminal portion 200 may be formed on the front of the folding module 230. Inside the folding module 220, a battery for operating the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20, a control unit for receiving and controlling user input, an electric motor, etc. may be located. In the folding module 220, a space is formed on the opposite side of the vehicle terminal 200 for the handle 230 to be folded, so that the handle 230 can be folded by rotating at a predetermined angle. The folding method of the handle portion 230 may be a commonly used method.

In this way, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 with the handle portion 230 folded can seal the charging port 100 when stored in the charging storage portion 110. Specifically, when the user stores the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 in the charging storage unit 110 and charges it, the user may store the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 starting from the front wheel portion. This is because the charging terminal portion 120 is formed on the surface facing the charging port 100, as shown in FIG. 4. Accordingly, the vehicle terminal portion 200 and the charging terminal portion 120 formed on the front of the folding module 220 come into contact with each other, so that the battery of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 can be charged.

At this time, the folding module 220 of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 with the handle 230 folded is approximately equal to the horizontal width of the charging storage unit 110, and its vertical height also covers up to the ceiling of the charging storage unit 110. Therefore, after the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored, the charging port 100 can be sealed by the folding module 220. As the charging port 110 is sealed, the charging terminal portion 120 and the vehicle terminal portion 200 are blocked from the outside, preventing access of external foreign substances, thereby allowing safe charging.

In addition, the charging port 100 can be double sealed. That is, the charging port 100 is formed to a size that can be accommodated when the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is folded, and the handle portion of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 has an area equal to the size of the charging port 100 in total. can be formed. In this state, if the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored in the charging storage unit 110, the electric two-wheeled vehicle passes through the charging port 100 and both handles of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 are each in half of the charging port 100. It can be sealed. Accordingly, the folding module 220 primarily seals the charging port 100, and secondarily, the handle portion seals the charging port 100, thereby blocking the charging storage unit 110 from the outside, thereby preventing external foreign substances. Entry into the interior of the charging compartment 110 can be further prevented.

In addition, the charger main body 10 may be provided with a sealing means (not shown) that can seal the charging port 100. This sealing means may be a sliding door method applied to the inside of the rim of the charging port 100 to seal the inner area of the charging port 100 by sliding it.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, as the handle portion 230 is folded, the vehicle terminal portion 200 may protrude or retract from the folding module 220. This will be explained through FIG. 17.

FIG. 17 is a diagram schematically showing the protruding structure of the vehicle terminal portion in the electric two-wheeled vehicle shown in FIG. 15.

As shown in FIG. 17, when the handle portion 230 is initially not folded, that is, in a standing state, the vehicle terminal portion 200 is retracted from the inside of the folding module 220 by the force applied by the handle portion 230. It is done. This vehicle terminal portion 200 is provided at the end of the protruding bar 250, and the other end of the protruding bar 250 is connected to the spring 240 so that it can move laterally depending on the compression or decompression of the spring 240. there is. This protruding bar 250 is formed in an approximately 'L' shape, so that the vertical portion can come into contact with the end of the handle portion 230. At this time, the handle portion 230 is also roughly formed in an 'L' shape, and one side is fixed by the handle fixing means 260 to maintain an upright position.

Afterwards, when the user rotates and folds the handle portion 230 in the direction of the arrow, the end of the handle portion 230 also rotates, and at this time, the force with which the handle portion 230 pushes the protruding bar 250 disappears. . Accordingly, the force that compressed the spring 240 disappears and the spring 240 is restored by elasticity, and accordingly, the protruding bar 250 also moves laterally by the force of the spring 240. Accordingly, the vehicle terminal portion 200 also protrudes outward along the protruding bar 250.

In this way, the vehicle terminal 200 protrudes and retracts to protect the vehicle terminal 200 from the outside. In other words, the vehicle terminal unit 200 is only needed when charging the battery of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 and is not needed during general use. If the vehicle terminal 200 protrudes to the outside or is in contact with the outside, the vehicle terminal 200 may be damaged by force applied from the outside. This may be a factor that increases maintenance costs of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20. Therefore, in the present invention, a protruding structure of the vehicle terminal portion 200 can be provided so that the vehicle terminal portion 200 can be brought into contact only when necessary.

<Other embodiments of the charging terminal portion>

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the charging terminal unit 120 may be provided around the charging port 100. This will be explained through FIG. 18.

Figure 18 is a diagram schematically showing a charging terminal provided on the external surface of a charging device for an electric two-wheeled vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 18, charging terminal portions 120 may be formed on both sides of the charging port 100. Additionally, in the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the vehicle terminal portion 200 may be provided on both left and right sides of the folding module 220 when viewed from the front. Accordingly, a situation in which the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored in the charging storage unit 110 will be described.

Specifically, when the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is folded, the rear wheels enter the charging storage unit 110 first. Accordingly, when the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is finally completely stored in the charging storage unit 110, the folding module 220 may be located adjacent to the charging port 100. At this time, the vehicle terminal portion 200 provided on both sides of the folding module 220 comes into contact with the charging terminal portion 120 formed on both sides of the charging port 100. Therefore, the user can visually check that the charging terminal 120 and the vehicle terminal 200 are in contact with each other, so they can determine whether charging is progressing properly.

<Charging only the battery>

Meanwhile, in the present invention, not only is the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 stored in the charging storage unit 110 to charge the battery of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20, but also the battery is detached from the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 to charge the battery. It is also possible.

Specifically, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 may be equipped with batteries of various sizes. This battery can be easily removed from the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 by a user or manager. Therefore, only the battery detached from the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 can be stored in the charging storage unit 110 to charge the battery.

In addition, depending on the implementation, the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20 is stored in the charging storage unit 110 as previously described in FIG. 1 to charge the battery of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 20, and an additionally provided battery charging device (not shown) is used. Alternatively, it is possible to store and charge only the battery in a battery charging unit (not shown).

Specifically, the charger body 10 may be provided with a battery charging device or battery charging unit having a predetermined size assembled on one side, both sides, or both sides and the rear of the charger body 10.
