Description

Smart parking block for charging electric mobility and charging system comprising same

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a smart anti-parking block for charging electric mobility and a charging system including the same, in particular, to a charging system that can provide an appropriate charging solution according to the type of mobility and the direction of entry.

Recently, as environmental regulations are strengthened, interest and demand for mobility devices using electric energy, such as electric vehicles and electric motorcycles, are increasing, and accordingly, electric mobility is being actively developed.

In order to expand the spread of electric mobility, it is very important to expand the battery charging infrastructure for electric mobility. To this end, a charging system that can charge electric mobility is being built in the common parking lot.

As a charging method for an electric vehicle of such a charging system, there are a CHADEMO method, a DC combo method, which is a fast charging method using direct current, and an AC three-phase method, which is a slow charging method using an alternating current.

The CHADEMO method has advantages in that the slow and fast sockets are separated and there is little concern about radio wave interference, but there is a problem in that the charger volume is large and the charging time is rather long.

The DC combo method has the advantage of being efficient with one charging port and capable of emergency quick charging, but has a problem in that the slow charging time is long compared to the fast charging time.

The AC three-phase method has the advantage of applying the technology to report the battery and the power grid from electric disturbance, but it is difficult to increase the charger output by 20 kW or more, and the installation cost of the charger is large.

In the case of a commercialized charging system for an electric vehicle, since all three methods are employed, there is a problem in that the installation cost is high and it is difficult to reduce the size.

In addition, in a general charging method of electric mobility, when using the DC rapid method, high-power (eg, 50 kW to 200 kW) charging is possible through the fast charging port, but there is a disadvantage in that the cost and size of the charging facility are large.

On the other hand, when using the AC slow mode, only low power (eg, 2 kW to 7 kW) charging is possible, and a separate charging auxiliary device connected to the slow charging port inside the electric vehicle (eg, on-board charger) Since it must be provided, there is a problem in that the vehicle cost increases.

In addition, in the case of the conventional charging system, there is a problem in that a place where electric mobility can be charged is limited, and the entrance direction of a vehicle parked for charging is forced.

The state specifies the maximum allowable power capacity for each parking lot for a charging system that can charge electric mobility installed in the parking lot. For example, in the case of a parking lot with a maximum allowable power capacity of 300kW, only about three 100kW-class rapid chargers can be installed, and in this case, there is a problem that only up to three can be charged at the same time.

In addition, a computer is generally configured to be operable to receive data from, transfer data to, or perform both operations on one or more mass storage devices for storing data, such as, for example, magnetic, magneto-optical disks or optical disks. combined or will include. However, the computer need not have such a device.

The present description sets forth the best mode of the invention, and provides examples to illustrate the invention, and to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the invention. This written specification does not limit the present invention to the specific terms presented.

Although the above has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art or those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field will not depart from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention described in the claims to be described later. It will be understood that various modifications and variations of the present invention can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Accordingly, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification, but should be defined by the claims.
