Description

The battery of electric vehicle charging and exchanging service method}

The electric prime mover is largely defined as a moving means that uses electricity, which is composed of a power supply unit, a power converter, a control unit, and an electric motor unit, as a driving force. In particular, the hybrid vehicle (HV), fuel storage battery electric vehicle (HEV), electric vehicle (EV) according to the power supply method, hybrid vehicles are produced for the purpose of improving fuel economy by combining electric power and gasoline power. It is a transitional form that basically relies on fossil fuels by accumulating electric power through power. Fuel cell electric vehicles produce electricity by supplying fuel such as hydrogen, methane, and gasoline when producing electricity, The electric vehicle (EV) is a pure electric vehicle in which electricity is stored and operated in a secondary battery through a plug-in using a secondary battery that can be charged and discharged. .

In particular, electric vehicles using secondary batteries have recently been improved in performance through the improvement of the performance of lithium polymer storage batteries, and are ready for commercialization. In addition, the commercialization of electric vehicles using nickel-metal hydride (NiFeH) battery, but in theory, the long life of more than 10 years has the advantage, but there is a disadvantage that a lot of weight compared to lead-acid battery or lithium polymer battery.

The battery replacement service for electric vehicles equipped with nickel iron hydride (NiFeH) accumulators is already being implemented, but the service is to replace the battery at the bottom of the electric vehicle using a machine due to the heavy nickel iron hydrogen (NiFeH) accumulator. In addition, it is known to take a business model of collecting the amount of money saved compared to the fueling cost incurred when driving a car with gasoline.

Most of the prime movers powered by electricity use storage batteries or fuel cells. There is also a prime mover using solar cells or wind power, but most of them operate in a hybrid type in parallel with gasoline engines, and it is true that there is a limit in economic problems in order to operate alone.

Therefore, the majority of experts say that the prime mover using electricity or a combination of gasoline and electricity will be mainstream after crude oil, which is a raw material of gasoline or diesel, which is mostly used as the energy of the prime mover, is exhausted. In the case of an electric vehicle (EV) using only electric power, electric energy supply methods include a rechargeable secondary battery power supply that is commonly used, and a fuel storage method that supplies electricity using methane gas or hydrogen.

Electric charging type prime movers are currently used in some two-wheeled prime movers, and electric cars are operating in a limited range of industries such as golf courses and airports, but technical challenges such as battery performance remain in order to supply more popular electric prime movers.

A chemical cell directly derives free energy from electrochemical oxidation at the negative electrode and electrochemical reduction at the positive electrode without direct thermal energy. In this case, the reaction is irreversible and the type that cannot be reproduced is called a primary battery, and there is a typical manganes drycell. In addition, a secondary battery is one of a type which is reversible and can be regenerated by applying energy from the outside, and typical examples thereof include a lead acid battery and an alkaline storage battery.

As research on alkaline batteries continues, new types of Li-ion batteries that can be quickly charged and rapidly discharged have been researched and commercialized, which will solve the battery performance problem, which was the biggest problem of electric prime movers. to be.

On the other hand, even after the technical problems of electric motors have been improved, realistic considerations for electric vehicle charging service will be needed. First of all, when using a battery, it takes a few minutes to several hours to charge, so if a long-distance driver does not have an extra charged battery, it is impossible to travel long distances without delaying a certain amount of time. Also, if you have your own battery, purchasing a fully charged battery whenever necessary is not an efficient way. In addition, since the power consumption (W) required for the charging for each battery capacity (mAh) is also different, it is also necessary to have a reasonable pricing standard for charging.

There was a problem of delaying the time of charging when the electric motor is connected to the power source and charging, and an expensive charging facility should be installed to expand the charging facility infrastructure.

In addition, when a battery replacement service is provided with a low performance battery when the battery replacement service is provided or when the battery remaining occurs, a reasonable charge considering this is required.

Through the present invention, the electric prime mover can be provided with a fully charged battery without any time delay for charging, which can shorten the charging time, and do not need to purchase a new battery which is charged at the same time, and can be charged anywhere in a charging station or a merchant. Service is available. In the case of the fuel cell method, the cost of fuel cell purchase can be saved by recovering the fuel cartridge and providing a buffered fuel cartridge.

In addition, it can be effectively handled through the history management of the member identifier and the serial number of the battery through the membership to the battery life and replacement costs that can occur when the battery is supplied in a lease type.

The present invention relates to a method for providing a subscription battery replacement service of an electric prime mover, the system comprising a service server connected to at least one merchant terminal network connected to a network, wherein a customer joins as a member and receives a member identifier and a battery and receives a member employee A first step of inputting the member information and the battery information through the affiliated store terminal to a service server; During the prime mover, the customer visits any one of the affiliated stores for battery replacement, inputs the battery to be returned to the member identifier and the battery information to be paid by the member of the affiliated store, and transmits the stored battery information to the service server.

In addition, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, the technical configuration of the present invention is not used only in the battery charge service of the prime mover, it can be used for battery charge service of bicycles, mobile phones, electronic devices, etc. Will be clearly understood.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a battery replacement service system based on membership in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the merchant terminal 150 is connected to the service server 100 through the Internet or a dedicated line service subscription and service usage information The server 100 transmits / receives necessary information from the server communication unit 110 through the affiliated store terminal 150 and inputs and inquires / manages each information to the storage medium 120. The identification information of the battery is stored through the battery management unit 116 and stored in the battery information 124 of the storage medium 120 after inputting the battery identification information attached to the battery or previously issued through the battery management unit 116. do. In this case, the battery that is being leased is stored in the battery information 124 by recording it so that the battery is no longer rented by the battery management unit 132 when an expiration date of the service expires or a battery exceeding a limited number of charges occurs.

In the above configuration, the affiliated store stores the affiliated store information, the affiliated store identification information set in the affiliated store terminal 150 to be paid based on the contract concluded after the affiliated contract, and the battery identifier of the battery to be initially paid to the affiliated store in the manager terminal 140. When input through and transmitted to the service server 100 is received by the interface unit 111 of the communication server 110 of the service server 100, the merchant information 122, the battery information of the storage medium 120, respectively Save at 124.

When a customer requests to join a service member, the member terminal 150 inputs member information such as a member's name, social security number, address, and contact information, recognizes a member identifier to be paid to the member, and specifies member identification information, The battery identifier is recognized and the battery identification information is transmitted to the service server 100. At this time, the member information received and received through the communication server 110 of the service server 100 is stored in the member information 123 of the storage medium 100, the battery identifier is the battery information 124 Inquiry) to determine whether it is a registered battery, and if there is no abnormality is recorded and stored as the battery of the member recorded. When the member visits one of the affiliated stores and receives a battery replacement service after joining the member, the member member presents the stored member identifier and the battery to be replaced, and the staff of the affiliated store replaces the battery and the replacement battery. Measure a residual current amount, input the member identification information, the battery identification information to be replaced, the battery identification information to be replaced, and the residual current amount to be transmitted to the service server 100 through the affiliated store terminal 150, The server communication unit 110 of the service server 100 receives the member ID, the battery identification information to be replaced, and the battery identification information to be replaced, the member information 123 and the storage battery of the storage medium 120. Query on information 124. If there is no abnormality after the inquiry, the authentication information is generated, and the remaining charge amount of the battery to be replaced and the battery to be replaced and the remaining charge amount, current capacity (mhA), maximum power amount (W) of each of the batteries registered in advance, Charges are differentially calculated according to the usage period, the number of charge / discharge cycles, the number of cells, the total charge capacity, and the battery type, and are stored in the transaction information 121.

In this case, the more the remaining charge of the battery to be replaced, the less the electric capacity to be charged at the merchant, so it is preferable to charge a fee by excluding the corresponding charging capacity from the charge capacity, even if the battery to be replaced is not fully charged. It is desirable to exclude the cost of filling. In addition, the higher the capacitance (mhA), the greater the amount of stored charge, and the longer the life of the battery, the charging efficiency is reduced, so it is necessary to estimate the performance of the battery by quantifying these factors. In addition, the charging cost for the battery replacement service can be calculated by calculating the charge and discharge efficiency ratio (%) according to the battery type to calculate the amount of power required to charge the battery and the amount of charge actually available in consideration of the discharge efficiency of the battery. have. In addition, as an element that can indirectly calculate the performance of a battery, there are a number of cells constituting the battery, the accumulated number of charge / discharge cycles, the period of use, the total current capacity, and the type of the battery. The greater the amount of charge remaining, the lower the charging cost. For the battery to be replaced, the higher the amount of charge stored, the higher the charging cost. This ensures the service's equilibrium by setting a higher usage price for using a battery having excellent battery performance for the remaining charge and a lower usage price for replacing a lower performance battery.

The differential battery replacement cost can be calculated as follows.

Here, the battery performance coefficient may be defined as a numerical value of the performance of the battery in consideration of the maximum amount of charge retained in the battery, the remaining life of the battery, and the maximum power (W) of the battery.

Performance factor of battery to be replaced = Charge rate (%) × Current capacity (Ah) × Performance reduction rate (%) due to exhaustion of time life × Performance reduction rate (%) due to repeated charging / discharging × Constant by battery type Weight (kg)

Performance factor of the battery to be replaced = charging rate (%) × current capacity (Ah) × performance reduction rate (%) due to exhaustion of time life × performance reduction rate (%) due to repeated charge and discharge cycles × constant by battery type / weight of battery ( kg)

Can be calculated as

The usage fee can be obtained as follows.

Charge = Charged charge electric charge of battery to be replaced x Charge rate + (Performance factor of battery to be replaced-Performance factor of battery to be replaced) × Correction constant + Service charge (labor cost) + Additional costs

The correction constant is a constant for converting the coefficient difference into a fee.

However, the usage fee calculation method is only an embodiment, and the present patent is not limited only to the calculation method.

In addition, through the battery rental service, members may use self-charging, and the self-charging also reduces the remaining useful life and the number of charge / discharge cycles of the battery. It is desirable to charge a replacement fee.

On the other hand, the battery identifier is preferably a bar code attachment that can read the serial number, RFID chip (RFID chip), OCR (OCR) number and the like.

In addition, the battery identification information is preferably a number stored in the battery identifier or a serial number consisting of alphanumeric characters.

However, if you are an existing subscriber or a customer who is limited to subscription, calculate the additional settlement fee to transmit the contents to the administrator terminal 140 or the merchant terminal (150,140) and proceed with the billing for membership. 310,315) If the member registration succeeds normally, input the battery identifier of the battery to be paid through the merchant terminal 150 or the administrator terminal 140, and transmits this information through the communication server 110 and then the device of the storage medium 120 After matching with the registered battery information 124, the battery identification information that is initially paid for the member is registered. After the registration is completed, the final settlement information is transmitted through the affiliated store terminal 150 or the input terminal 140 from the communication server 110 and accordingly collected to complete the final membership registration process. However, the charging procedure is one embodiment of the present patent, and the charging procedure may vary in order or procedure according to the embodiment.

When the membership registration process is completed, the customer is issued a member identifier to prove his / her membership. However, the member identifier includes all means capable of identifying a member, such as an RF chip card, an IC card, a barcode card, and the like.

In addition, the member identification information is preferably a serial number or digital data consisting of alphanumeric characters that can identify the member stored in the member identifier.

When the registered customer replaces the battery which has been exhausted at a particular merchant after recognizing the charging service merchant mark during operation of the prime mover, the member identifier is submitted to the merchant employee, and the remaining charge of the battery to be replaced and the amount of the battery to be replaced After measuring the charge amount, the member identifier, the battery identifier to be replaced and the battery identifier of the battery to be replaced and the charge amount of each battery are inputted to the merchant terminal 150 and transmitted to the service server 100, and then the member from the service server. Check that the information matches the battery identification information received by the member. In this case, when the member exceeds a predetermined subscription period, a fee for extending the period is charged and charged. If the member is not a battery that the member has been paid for, the predetermined price is determined, and the replacement battery and the estimated remaining charges are measured. Set a predetermined cost, and charges the member for the one-time battery replacement service to the member terminal 150 to transmit.
