AUTO RESERVATION SYSTEM FOR BATTERY EXCHANGING OF ELECTRIC TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE AND AUTO RESERVATION METHOD FOR BATTERY EXCHANGING OF ELECTRIC TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE}

The present invention relates to an automatic reservation system and method for battery replacement of an electric motorcycle, and in particular, when operating a battery-changing electric motorcycle, when the time to replace the battery arrives, the driver does not manually search for and reserve a nearby battery exchanger. Rather, the present invention relates to a system and method for automatically changing a battery for an electric motorcycle to automatically reserve at least one battery exchanger located near the electric motorcycle and display the reserved information on the electric motorcycle to inform the user.

Generally, two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles can be divided into general uses such as commuting used by the general public and business uses used by the group for business purposes.

For general use, there are commuting and commuting applications that operate at an average of about 10 km per day, and are classified into leisure use that is used within a few tens of kilometers when used once.

Among business uses, it travels around relatively large areas such as parks and factory areas, and when using a two-wheeled vehicle, it operates for an average of several tens of kilometers a day. The longest-running business uses include delivery and delivery services such as postal delivery, food delivery, and delivery of goods. In this case, an average of 80km or more is required per day.

In the case of an engine two-wheeled vehicle using gasoline fuel, since the gasoline fuel is fully fueled, it can be operated within about 100 km, and thus, in most cases of using the two-wheeled vehicle, the two-wheeled vehicle can be operated once a day.

On the other hand, in the case of an electric two-wheeled vehicle currently on the market, it is possible to drive about 40 km or more when driving on a real road after one charge, and about 4 hours of charging time is required for additional driving.

For this reason, it is known that electric two-wheeled vehicles are difficult to use on commercial roads that require an average of about 80 km or more per day.

First, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an automatic reservation system for battery replacement of an electric motorcycle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing an information transmission state according to the present invention.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2 will be described the battery replacement automatic reservation system of the present invention electric motorcycle.

The automatic battery replacement system for the electric bicycle of the present inventor comprises basically at least one electric motorcycle 100, a plurality of battery exchangers 92000 and a central control unit 300.

The electric motorcycle 100 includes a battery detection sensor 110, a navigation 120, a first communication module 130, and a first control unit 140 and has unique identification information.

The identification information is used to authenticate the user through the authentication means 260 when using the battery exchanger 200 to be described later, may be a password given to the electric motorcycle 100 or the user, or a tag means using a barcode, etc. In addition to the information, various known identification information can be used.

The battery detection sensor 110 transmits battery information indicating the remaining amount of the battery mounted to the electric motorcycle 100 to the first controller 140. The battery detection sensor 110 is set to periodically check the battery level of the electric motorcycle 100 at regular time intervals, and to check the battery level even when the electric motorcycle 100 is started.

The navigation 120 is equipped with GPS and may be a mobile device that is installed in a cluster (instrument panel) of the electric motorcycle 100 or is carried by a driver (user) of the electric motorcycle 100. In the case of a mobile device, communication connection with the first control unit 140 or the central control unit 300 to be described later should be possible. In addition to the basic navigation function, the navigation 120 reflects response information to be described later and displays it to the user, and it is preferable to provide both audible and visual methods. That is, the navigation 120 performs a navigation function and a guide display unit displaying response information. Navigation information is generated through the navigation 120, and the navigation information may include driving route information and speed information of the electric motorcycle 100.

The first communication module 130 is configured for wireless communication between the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 and the central control unit 300, and the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 receives battery information, etc. through the first communication module 130 through the central control unit ( 300). The battery information may include information on the total distance traveled through the currently used battery in addition to the basic battery level information. Based on the information on the total distance traveled through the currently installed and used battery, the central control unit 300 analyzes it and reflects the driving habits of the electric motorcycle 100 user to calculate the battery usage time or possible driving distance in the future. Can be used as For example, assuming that it is possible to drive 40 km with a fully charged battery, if the remaining battery capacity is 50%, the mileage to date should be 20 km, and further 20 km can be driven in the future. However, if the actual mileage is 10 km despite the remaining 50% of the battery, it can be estimated that the battery consumption is high due to the user's driving habits, and it can be determined that only 10 km of remaining driving distance remains.

The first control unit 140 is connected to the battery detection sensor 110, the navigation 120 and the first communication module 130, and a predetermined time interval or schedule for remaining battery information transmitted from the battery detection sensor 110 Check and save every cycle. At this time, when the remaining amount of the battery is below a certain value, the identification information, battery information, navigation information of the electric motorcycle 100 and the first location information indicating the current location of the electric motorcycle 100 are transmitted to the central control unit 300. The transmission period is set to be transmitted every predetermined period when the remaining battery power information falls below a predetermined value, and the first location information can be obtained through the GPS provided in the navigation 120. The first control unit 140 performs overall control of the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100, and may include and transmit information on the total distance traveled through the currently installed battery in the battery information at each time of transmitting the battery information. have. In addition, the response information to be described later transmitted through the first communication module 130 is transmitted to the navigation 120 for display.

The battery exchanger 200 includes a battery charging unit 210, a GPS module 220, a second communication module 230 and a second control unit 240, and further includes a locking means 250 and an authentication means 260 can do.

The battery charging unit 210 is a slot in which the battery is mounted and charged. In the case of an electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 such as a motorcycle, at least a plurality of batteries must be charged in the battery charging unit 210 because two battery packs (batteries) are used. The battery charging unit 210 is configured as a groove shape in which a battery is inserted and seated on the front surface of a body (not shown in the drawing) constituting the battery exchanger 200, and the groove has a shape corresponding to the shape of the battery. An opening and closing part for opening and closing the groove may be configured as a front surface of the groove. When constructing the opening/closing part, it is preferable to configure the opening/closing part to seal the inside of the groove because the battery itself may cause a problem that the life of the battery decreases when exposed to moisture. The opening and closing unit may be provided with a locking means 250 connected to the second control unit 240. The locking means 250 may be unlocked through the authentication means 260 connected to the second control unit 240. That is, by checking whether the identification information of the user who has attempted to use the battery exchanger 200 matches the identification information included in the reservation information to be described later, the locking means 250 is unlocked only when matching. On the other hand, it may further include a display unit (not shown in the drawing) indicating whether or not the exhaust treatment charging unit is used and the charging state.

The second location information indicating the location of the battery exchanger 200 may be generated through the GPS module 220. In addition, since the battery exchanger 200 is usually fixedly installed in one place, the location information of the battery exchanger 200 installed without the GPS module 220 may be stored and used in the central control unit 300.

The second communication module 230 is configured for wireless communication between the battery exchanger 200 and the central control unit 300, 300, and the battery charging information and the second every second time through the second communication module 230 The location information is transmitted to the central control unit 300 and reservation information for using the charged battery is received.

The second control unit 240 is connected to the battery charging unit 210, the GPS module 220, and the second communication module 230, and stores the battery charging information generated from the battery charging unit 210 every predetermined time and the second location The information is transmitted to the central control unit 300 through the second communication module 230. The battery charging information includes information on the remaining charge time of the battery being charged by the battery charging unit 210 and usage information on the battery charging unit 210. The usage information is information about the battery charging unit 210 used by the other electric motorcycle 100 among the plurality of battery charging units 210 when the other electric motorcycle 100 uses the same battery exchanger 200. The number of available batteries and the completion time of charging of the battery can be grasped through the battery charging information and the usage information.

The central control unit 300 includes a third communication module 310, and transmits and receives information to and from the electric motorcycle 100 and the battery exchanger 200 through the third communication module 310. That is, the identification information, battery information, navigation information, first location information, etc. of the electric motorcycle 100 are received from the electric motorcycle 100, and battery charging information, usage information, second location information, etc. are received from the battery exchanger 200. To receive.

The central control unit 300 searches for at least one battery exchanger 200 having the second location information close to the first location information based on the information received from the electric motorcycle 100 and the battery exchanger 200, and searches for the found battery Reservation information including identification information of the electric motorcycle 100 is transmitted to the exchange 200. The battery exchanger 200 that has received the reservation information may have a fully charged battery, or may be currently charging, but may have a battery that can be charged before the electric motorcycle 100 arrives. In addition, the central control unit 300 transmits the second location information of the battery exchanger 200 that has transmitted the reservation information to the electric motorcycle 100 by including it in the response information.

Therefore, since the reservation information and the response information reflect information received from the electric motorcycle 100 and the battery exchanger 200 by the central control unit 300, the first location information is basically updated every predetermined time (first location) When the information changes), the reservation information and the response information are updated and transmitted together. At this time, the transmission time of the reservation information and the response information is a time when the first location information is updated.

When the driving route is set in the received navigation information, that is, when the user searches for a destination through the navigation 120 and sets the search route, the central control unit 300 approaches the second position close to the driving route. To transmit the reservation information including the identification information to at least one battery exchanger 200 having information, and to transmit the response information including the second location information of the battery exchanger 200 reserved by the electric motorcycle 100 Can be set. At this time, the first location information becomes a driving path.

In addition, if the electric motorcycle 100 that has received the response information from the central control unit 300 is already operating by setting the driving route through the navigation 120, at least one of the battery exchangers 200 included in the response information ) Can be configured to be reset to the driving route. That is, even when the vehicle is running along the driving route, if the remaining battery power is insufficient, the route is reset to travel to the destination via the battery exchanger 200 before the battery is discharged.

In addition, the central control unit 300 calculates the travelable distance of the electric motorcycle 100 through the battery information, and identifies the at least one battery exchanger 200 having the second location information located within the travelable distance The reservation information including information may be transmitted, and the response information including the second location information of the reserved battery exchanger 200 may be transmitted to the electric motorcycle 100. That is, by calculating the total travelable distance through the remaining amount of battery, and inducing the battery to be operated after exchanging the battery via the battery exchanger 200 located within the total travelable distance, it is possible to prevent an interruption of operation due to battery discharge. have.

When there are a plurality of reserved battery exchangers 200, when the electric motorcycle 100 completes battery replacement in any one of the reserved battery exchangers 200, the central control unit 300 and the used battery exchanger 200 The reservation of the other battery changer 200 that is reserved is automatically canceled. That is, when the battery replacement is completed, the battery exchange completion information is transmitted from the battery exchanger 200 to the central control unit 300, and the central control unit 300 operates the electric motorcycle 100 with the fully charged battery again. It is determined that the reservation cancellation information is transmitted to the battery exchanger 200 that has transmitted the reservation information. The battery exchanger 200 being reserved cannot be reserved and used by another electric motorcycle 100, but the battery exchanger 200 that has received the reservation cancellation information can use another electric motorcycle 100. At this time, by transmitting the response cancellation information to the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100, if the driving route is changed according to the response information, the changed state is returned to the previous state, or if the changed driving route is the optimal driving route, the changed driving route is maintained. Can be. Alternatively, even if there is no separate response cancellation information, it can be configured to operate in the same manner as the state in which the response cancellation information was received at the moment of installing the charged battery.

Figure 3 relates to a method for automatic reservation of the battery replacement of the electric motorcycle according to the present invention, the battery replacement automatic reservation method of the electric motorcycle of the present invention based on the battery replacement automatic reservation system of the electric motorcycle described above is a battery exchange information receiving step ( S100), including an electric motorcycle information receiving step (S200), a battery changer reservation step (S300) and a reservation notification step (S400), the driving route reset step (S500), user authentication step (S600), reservation initialization step (S700) ) May be further included.

In the battery exchange information receiving step (S100), the central control unit 300 receives battery charge information and battery exchange information including whether or not the battery charging unit 210 is used for a certain period of time from a plurality of battery exchangers 200 and the completion time of the battery exchange. Receives second location information indicating the location.

In the electric motorcycle information receiving step (S200), the remaining amount of the battery installed in the electric motorcycle 100 falls below a certain value or identification information about the electric motorcycle 100 from the electric motorcycle 100 when the electric motorcycle 90000 starts, The central control unit 300 receives battery information, navigation information, and first location information every predetermined time.

In the battery exchanger reservation step (S300), the central control unit 300 receiving the identification information, battery information, navigation information, first location information, battery charging information, and second location information as described above is close to the first location information. The battery exchanger 200 having location information transmits reservation information including the identification information to the battery exchanger 200 having location information, and the battery exchanger 200 receiving the reservation information provides the electric motorcycle 100 with the received identification information or a battery to be provided to the user Prepared, and for the prepared battery is placed in a locked state by using the locking means 250 to prevent the use of another electric motorcycle 100 or another user. Therefore, the reservation information has at least one battery exchanger having a battery that has been charged, or has a battery to be charged when the electric motorcycle 100 arrives, as well as having second location information that is close to the first location information. 200). Alternatively, if there is only a battery that has not been fully charged due to frequent use of the plurality of electric two-wheeled vehicles 100, it may be set to transmit pre-information information to at least one battery exchanger 200 charged most.

In the reservation notification step (S400), response information is transmitted to the electric motorcycle 100 together with the second location information indicating the location of the battery exchanger 200 that received the reservation information. The location of the battery exchanger 200 is displayed on the electric two-wheeled vehicle 100 receiving the response information through the navigation 120. At this time, in addition to the guidance through the navigation 120 screen,'the location of the battery exchanger has been received.','the driving route is reset to the route via the location of the battery exchanger.' It is possible to call attention to the electric motorcycle 100 to provide attention to the user.

On the other hand, since the first location information of the electric motorcycle 100 may be changed every predetermined time, the reservation information and the response information are also updated accordingly.

When the navigation path includes the navigation information, the reservation information including the identification information to at least one battery exchanger 200 having the second location information close to the set driving path, not the current location of the electric motorcycle 100 It may be configured to transmit, and to transmit the response information including the second location information of the battery exchanger 200 reserved for the electric motorcycle 100.

In addition, the total travelable distance of the electric motorcycle 100 is calculated through the battery information, and the reservation including the identification information is provided to at least one battery exchanger 200 having the second location information located within the total travelable distance. It may be configured to transmit information and to transmit the response information including the second location information of the battery exchanger 200 reserved for the electric motorcycle 100.

In the driving route resetting step (S500), if the driving information is included in the navigation information, that is, when the navigation information is already set by the navigation 120, and the driving information is received, at least one battery included in the response information is received. The driving route is reset to pass through the exchanger 200. That is, since the battery is discharged while driving, and the operation of the electric motorcycle 100 should not be stopped, the battery exchanger 200 that passes through is set in consideration of the remaining amount of the battery and the travelable distance accordingly.

In the user authentication step (S600), the identification information of the electric motorcycle 100 and the identification information included in the reservation information are checked to be matched, and only the authorized user unlocks the battery charging unit 210 to match the battery exchanger. It is possible to use the rechargeable battery provided in (200). That is, in order to prevent indiscriminate use and to prevent theft, the battery exchanger 200 must release the locking means 250 to release the locking means 250 only after exchanging the battery and authenticating the user through the authentication means 260 Configure the battery to be replaced.

In the reservation initialization step (S700), when the electric battery 100 completes battery replacement in any one of the reserved battery exchangers 200 when there are multiple reserved battery exchangers 200, the used battery exchangers 200 and the reserved The reservation of the other battery changer 200 is automatically canceled. Through this, the reservation status of the battery exchanger 9200 is initialized, and another reservation of the electric electric vehicle 100 is possible.

All of the above-described processes occur without any user intervention, and the user simply goes to the battery exchanger 200 displayed on the navigation 120 interlocked with the navigation 120 or the cluster (instrument panel) of the electric motorcycle 100 to replace the battery It is only necessary to greatly improve the user's ease of use and operational stability.
