Description
System for loading the batteries of an automotive vehicle
The invention relates to a system for loading the batteries of an automotive vehicle, comprising at least one series of loading poles, wherein each one of said loading poles is provided with an electrical outlet socket that is designed to 5 receive a complimentary socket of a power consumer, usually connecting to the batteries of the automotive vehicle, and wherein it includes monitoring means for registry of the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to the connected power consumer, an access facility for enabling the flow of electrical 10 energy to the power consumer that is connected to the electrical outlet socket, and a payment facility that is linked to the monitoring means for payment of a monetary value that represents the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to the connected power consumer. The automotive vehicle can be a car, a 15 motorbicycle or scooter, or any other vehicle witch electrical propulsion means .
Such a system for loading the batteries is known from practice. In this system usually keys or membership cards are used to enable access to the system for taking off electrical 20 energy in order to refill one's batteries. On a regular basis the amount of electrical energy that is monitored as to be consumed for filling up the batteries is invoiced to the holder ; of the key or membership card.
Newly proposed systems are devised to operate with pay-25 as-you-go means, using payment cards (PIN). This is however susceptible to fraud and improper use. Moreover it is expensive.
Still a further problem with the prior art system is that the monitoring means for registry of the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to the connected power 30 consumer reguires calibration, which is also expensive because this has to be done for any loading pole which is provided with such monitoring means .
The prior art system and its properties thus prevent the swift introduction and use of electrical automotive vehicles 35 considering that there is a huge inbalance in costs of electrical energy supplied in a single loading cycle as compared to the costs of monitoring and paying for the electrical energy that is consumed in such a loading cycle.
An object of the invention is to put a limit to the 2 costs of monitoring and paying for the electrical energy as compared to the costs the electrical energy itself.
A further object is to propose a system for loading the batteries of an automotive vehicle which is versatile in its 5 use, and which allows use thereof without being required to first being registered as a user.
Still a further object of the invention is to make the calibration of the loading poles, that is to say the amount of electrical energy that is taken off through any loading pole 10 less cumbersome and costly to calibrate.
One or more of the above-mentioned objects of the invention are promoted by the system that is characterized by one or more of the appended claims.
In a first aspect of the invention the access facility 15 is integrated in the payment facility and the payment facility is embodied with wireless communication means enabling a payer to initiate taking off electrical energy and pay for it by operating a mobile device having a unique identification code and arranged for communication with said wireless communication 20 means.
By making the system accessible through the mobile device that has a unique identification code is possible to have the system used without need to first register as a user of the system. This allows for instance foreigners or other passersby 25 that avail of a suitable mobile device to take benefit of the system.
Suitably the mobile device is a cell phone and/or a (laptop) computer. Such a computer needs to have wireless communication means, preferably wifi. Both cell phones and 30 computers are provided with unique identification codes that enable that intended payments can be linked to the holder of the cell phone or computer.
To promote widespread use of the system of the invention for loading the batteries of an automotive vehicle the 35 at least one series of loading poles have to be distributed in a service area. In order to limit costs and make effective use of the available resources, it is then preferred that the integrated access facility and payment facility are embodied in a central server to which the series of loading poles and the 40 communication means are connected.
Preferably each one of the loading poles is provided 3 with a unique identifier. In connection therewith preferably also the access facility that is integrated in the payment facility enables taking off electrical energy of any such loading pole only when this unique identifier is communicated 5 with the mobile device to the said wireless communication means of the integrated access and payment facility. This not only secures a selective consumption of electrical energy at specifically and only the loading pole that is identified with its unique identifier, as is communicated by the mobile device 10 to the communication means of the access and payment facility.
It also has the beneficial effect that when a loading pole is not selected the power to such loading pole is switched off.
This is beneficial for the endurance of the system.
In another aspect of the invention each loading pole of 15 a series of loading poles is connected to a central control unit that forms part of the same series of loading poles as the concerning loading pole, whereby this central control unit is embodied with the monitoring means for registry of the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to a power consumer connected 20 to any of the loading poles in the concerning series of loading poles. This limits costs and makes calibration more easy because only the monitoring means that are provided in the central control unit are required to be calibrated.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated 25 with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the system of the invention and with reference to the drawing.
The drawing shows in a single figure schematically the elements and the functional relation between these elements that may form part of the system of the invention.
30 In the figure reference 1 generally relates to the system of the invention for loading the batteries of an automotive vehicle 2.
The system 1 comprises at least one series of loading poles 3. Each one of said loading poles 3 is provided with an 35 electrical outlet socket that is designed to receive a complimentary socket of a power consumer, usually connecting to the batteries, of the automotive vehicle 2. This is known for the person skilled in the art and requires no further elucidation or reference in the drawing.
40 The system 1 includes further monitoring means (not shown yet also known to the person skilled in the art) for i i 4 registry of the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to the connected power consumer 2, and an access facility (not shown) for enabling the flow of electrical energy to the power consumer 2 that is connected to the electrical outlet socket.
5 Further there is a payment facility that is linked to the monitoring means for payment of a monetary value that represents the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to the connected power consumer 2. The aforesaid is all very common to the person skilled in the art and requires no further 10 elucidation or explanation in order to enable the artisan to understand and appropriately devise the system accordingly.
More particularly according to the invention the access facility is integrated in the payment facility. The integrated access facility and payment facility are then preferably 15 embodied in software operating on a central server 4. The said server 4 with the payment facility is further embodied with wireless communication means represented by the cloud 5, enabling a payer to initiate taking off electrical energy and pay for it by operating a mobile device 6, 7 having a unique 20 identification code and arranged for communication with said wireless communication means 5.
As examples for the mobile device the figure shows a cell phone 6 and a (laptop) computer 7 provided with wifi.
With reference to the series of loading poles 3 that 25 are distributed in a preselected service area, it can be remarked that these poles 3 are preferably also connected to the central server 4 in which the integrated access facility and payment facility is embodied, and to which server 4 also the said communication means 5 are connected that is arranged to 30 communicate with the mobile devices 6, 7.
Although not shown it is preferable that each one of the loading poles 3 is provided with a unique identifier, and that the access facility that is integrated in the payment facility enables taking off electrical energy of any such 35 loading pole 3, after it's unique identifier is communicated with the mobile device 6, 7 to the said wireless communication means 5 of the integrated access and payment facility of the central server 4.
The figure shows further another aspect of the 40 invention that relates to the feature that each loading pole 3 of a series of loading poles is connected to a central control 5 unit 8 that forms part of the same series of loading poles as the concerning loading pole 3, and that the central server 4 in which the integrated access facility and payment facility is embodied connects also to the central control unit 8. This 5 provides the possibility to have the central control unit 4 control release of electrical energy to a selected loading pole 3 connected to the central control unit 8.
The central control unit 8 is further embodied with the monitoring means for registry of the amount of electrical energy 10 that is supplied to a power consumer 2 connected to any of the loading poles 3 in the concerning series of loading poles. Due to this arrangement the monitoring means for registry of the amount of supplied electrical energy is concentrated in the central control unit 8, and the electrical and electronic means 15 in the loading poles 3 for supplying the electrical energy to any power consumer 2 can remain restricted.
The monitoring means that are arranged in the central control unit 8 for registry of the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to a power consumer 2 through any one of the 20 poles 3, enable that the electrical energy that has been taken off through any loading pole 3 can be attributed to the payer who has used his mobile device 6, 7 for selecting the unique identifier of the pole 3 to which the power consumer 2 is connected.
25 To complete the picture the figure also shows that the central control unit 8 connects to the electrical grid 9 from which the electrical energy is derived.
Manner of operation 30
The system 1 of the invention can be used effectively in the following way.
When the power consumer 2 has arrived near to a loading pole 3 and is connected thereto, the concerning loading pole 3 35 can be activated. The activation of the loading pole 3 is executed by: -dialing a preselected special-purpose telephone number and selecting in a computer guided menu the unique identifier of the 40 intended loading pole 3. Payment is done automatically through the telephone bill.
6 -it is also possible to send an SMS to a preselected number wherein the SMS includes the unique identifier of the intended loading pole 3. By a reply SMS payment can be effectuated.
5 -it is further possible to use preestablished accounts and that payment is effected through such accounts. Selection of the loading pole 3 to be used by a power consumer 2 still occurs by making a selection with a mobile device, either a cell phone 6, or a laptop computer 7 with Internet facilities.
10
It is possible to complete the system 1 of the invention with further functionality which is considered beneficial for the system's users. This may for instance include a link of the system to systems for paid parking, and for 15 implementation of special rebate or cashback systems.
For the avoidance of doubt it is further explicitly remarked that the scope of protection of the appended claims is not limited to the specific example that is discussed hereinabove with reference to the drawing. This example and the 20 explanation provided with reference thereto only serves to remove any possible ambiguity that may reside in the claims when read in isolation. It does however not exclude the possibility that variations are applied to the offered example without departing from the scope of protection as embodied in the 25 appended claims.
