Description

Emergency bell for parking lot with electric vehicle charging information guidance function {Emergency bell for parking lot with electric vehicle charging information guidance function}

The present invention relates to an emergency bell for a parking lot, and more particularly, for a parking lot having an electric vehicle charging information guidance function that provides information on a charger that can be charged in conjunction with an electric vehicle charger so that a driver can easily find a usable charger. It's about the emergency bell.

Today, buildings with a certain use and scale, such as apartment houses, schools, and officetels, must be designed and built according to the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) standard, which creates an environment that can prevent crime.

In particular, underground parking lots such as various collective buildings such as multi-unit dwellings (apartments), offices, apartment-type factories, officetels, buildings in densely populated areas, large marts, department stores, and shopping malls are relatively vulnerable to crime due to their dark and deserted environment. Since it is difficult to quickly detect and take action in the event of a crime, most of them have installed and operated surveillance or security cameras (CCTV) to prevent them and prepare for emergencies.

Recently, emergency bells are installed at regular (25m) intervals on the wall or pillar adjacent to the driving route that can be monitored by surveillance or security cameras in the underground parking lot, connected to the management office (security office), so that if you are in danger or need help In the event of an emergency, such as pressing the emergency bell, an alarm rings along with CCTV, and an emergency bell system is operated that allows communication with the management office.

On the other hand, as the development and spread of eco-friendly electric vehicles rapidly spread, fast or slow chargers for electric vehicles are essentially installed and operated in parking lots of apartment complexes. For example, in the case of an apartment building, it is mandatory to install an electric vehicle charging facility corresponding to 2% of the total number of parking spaces for existing construction and 5% or more for new construction.

In general, a slow charger has a terminal or outlet structure and is installed on a wall of a parking lot so that a user can charge a vehicle by connecting an inlet to the slow charger during parking time after parking the car. A plurality of these slow chargers are installed at a predetermined ratio to the parking lot area, and a plurality of cars are installed in one charger to use the charging service sequentially or according to a reservation schedule.

At this time, each charger is fixed and installed on the front of the wall so that the driver can easily check the charger. When the inlet of the electric vehicle is connected after parking, the charging cable is exposed on the driving path as shown in FIG. 1. In this way, the charging cable exposed on the road interferes with the driving of other cars and the driver's walking, and a collision with another driving car may cause a serious accident.

In addition, the conventional parking management system in an apartment building is installed and operated together with a system for guiding charging information of an electric vehicle charger. As such, the electric vehicle charging system and an emergency bell operation system for protecting residents are separately installed and operated. As a result, each system has a disadvantage in that a lot of cost is required for installation and operation.

Each of the display units 241, 242, and 243 displays information such as current availability and charging reservation schedule for the first charging terminal 100-1, and displays current availability and location for the second charging terminal 100-2. (Direction) information is provided through each of the display areas 204 , 205 , and 206 provided in the housing 201 .

The first display unit 241 provides usability information of the first charging terminal 100-1 and the second charging terminal 100-2 through the first display area 204. The first display area 204 for this includes a lighting unit 204a and a direction display unit 204b.

The lighting unit 204a is composed of lighting modules that light up with different lighting colors to indicate whether the first charging terminal 100-1 can be used. For example, the first charging terminal 100-1 can be used. It can be lit in green when it is in a state, and it can be lit in red when it is in an unusable state. In addition, the direction display unit 204b is composed of a lighting module that lights up to indicate the direction and displays the location of the usable second charging terminal 100-2, for example, one side or both sides of the neighboring When the second charging terminal 100-2 is in a usable state, it is turned on in green, but the direction display unit 204b in the direction in which the corresponding charging terminal is located is turned on.

Therefore, a driver moving on a driving path in a parking lot checks whether the first charging terminal 100-1 and the second charging terminal 100-2 nearby are usable through the first display unit 241 and uses the first charging terminal 100-1. A possible charging terminal can be easily found, and when the first charging terminal 100-1 is available, it can be parked at the corresponding location and charging proceeds, or the neighboring second charging terminal 100-2 is available. In this case, you can move to the corresponding location, park, and proceed with charging.

The second display unit 242 provides charging reservation information of the first charging terminal 100-1 through the first display area 205. The second display area 205 for this includes a schedule display unit 205a.

The schedule display unit 205a is composed of a ring-shaped lighting module that is divided into a plurality of sections and illuminated with different colors for each section. For example, the ring-shaped schedule display unit 205a is divided into 4 sections with one rotation defined as 12 hours, and each section can form a unit of 3 hours. Therefore, the schedule display unit 205a can display reservation information for the first charging terminal 100-1 every 3 hours, and the section where charging is reserved turns on in red, and the section where charging is not reserved turns on in green. It can be configured to light up. Therefore, even if charging is currently impossible, the driver can check the available charging time within 12 hours and reserve or proceed with charging at that time.

The third display unit 243 transmits the charging information of the first charging terminal 100-1 and the second charging terminal 100-2 through the third display area 206 to the bottom surface of the driving route by using a hologram image. provided to For this purpose, the third display area 206 includes a hologram unit 206a to provide charging information by utilizing the bottom surface of the driving path as a display panel.

The hologram unit 206a is configured to illuminate an image panel with an LED light source and display information of the corresponding image on the floor, and displays charging information to be displayed on the display unit on the floor of the driving route. The hologram unit 206a for this purpose displays a plurality of LED light sources that illuminate with different colors, whether the first charging terminal 100-1 can be used and the direction in which the second charging terminal 100-2 is located. An image panel on which an image for the purpose is printed is provided. The hologram unit 206a provides charging information on the bottom surface of the road so that the driver can easily check the charging information.
