Description

電動車両充電装置及び電動車両充電システムElectric vehicle charging device and electric vehicle charging system
　本発明は、電動車両充電装置及び電動車両充電システムに関し、特に、複数の電動車両に対する充電を行う電動車両充電装置及び電動車両充電システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging device and an electric vehicle charging system, and more particularly to an electric vehicle charging device and an electric vehicle charging system for charging a plurality of electric vehicles.
　近代社会において、自動車の普及は、交通の利便性を高める一方で、排気ガスによる大気汚染や地球温暖化、道路周辺の騒音などの問題を顕在化させた。そのため、排気ガス対策などの環境対策が重要な課題となり、近年、できるだけＣＯ２を排出しない、低炭素社会にふさわしい自動車の開発・普及が求められている。
　こうした中で、低環境負荷型の電気自動車に対する期待が高まっている。
　電気自動車は、通常のガソリン車とは異なって排気ガスを発生せず、また、ガソリン車よりエネルギー効率に優れ、化石燃料の消費を低減できることから、低炭素社会にふさわしい交通手段として注目されている。また、走行時に生じるエンジン音も極めて小さく、騒音問題が生じることもない。 In modern societies, the widespread use of automobiles has increased the convenience of transportation, but has also revealed problems such as air pollution caused by exhaust gas, global warming, and noise around roads. For this reason, environmental measures such as exhaust gas measures have become important issues, and in recent years, there has been a demand for the development and popularization of automobiles suitable for a low-carbon society that emit as little CO 2 as possible.
Under these circumstances, expectations for low environmental load electric vehicles are increasing.
Unlike ordinary gasoline cars, electric cars do not generate exhaust gas, are more energy efficient than gasoline cars, and can reduce fossil fuel consumption, so they are attracting attention as a means of transportation suitable for a low-carbon society. . Further, the engine sound generated during traveling is extremely small, and noise problems do not occur.
　電気自動車は、ガソリンエンジンではなく、充電式電池に蓄えられた電気でモーターを回して走行する。電気自動車の利用者は、家庭用の交流電源を用いたり、屋外において設置されている充電設備で充電を行ったりして電気自動車を利用する。 ¡Electric vehicles run with a motor driven by electricity stored in a rechargeable battery, not a gasoline engine. A user of an electric vehicle uses an electric vehicle by using a home AC power source or charging with a charging facility installed outdoors.
　このような充電設備の整備が行われる中で、一部のマンション等においても、その居住者が共同で使用可能な充電設備の設置が進められている。
　しかしながら、マンション等では、利用者の数に比してマンション側等が供給できる電力量が不足しているという事情があり、複数の利用者の電気自動車全てについて同時に充電を行うと、マンション全体等の電力負荷の限界を超えてしまい、最悪の場合にはブレーカが落ちて停電してしまうおそれがある。 While such charging facilities are being developed, in some condominiums and the like, installation of charging facilities that can be used jointly by the residents is being promoted.
However, in condominiums, etc., there is a shortage of power that can be supplied by the condominiums compared to the number of users. If all the electric vehicles of multiple users are charged at the same time, the entire apartment, etc. In the worst case, the breaker may fall and cause a power failure.
　このような一時に充電が集中することにより生じる問題を解決する従来技術として、特許文献１に開示される電力供給制御装置が提案されている。
　この特許文献１の電力供給制御装置は、充電に必要な電力が供給可能電力を超える場合には、例えば、公共性の高い順に優先的に車両に対して充電を行うように構成されている。 As a conventional technique for solving such a problem caused by concentration of charging at a time, a power supply control device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.
The power supply control device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured to preferentially charge a vehicle in the descending order of publicness, for example, when the power necessary for charging exceeds the power that can be supplied.
特開２０１０－１１０１７３JP 2010-110173 A
　しかしながら、前述の特許文献１の電力供給制御装置には、公共性において差がない複数の電気自動車に対しては、適切に充電の優先順位を定めることができないという問題がある。
　例えば、特許文献１の電力供給制御装置をマンションや商業施設等に設置する場合、これを利用するマンション居住者や客の電気自動車の大半は、公共性の面で差がないため優先順位が定まらず、供給可能電力に基づいた充電を適切に行えない可能性がある。
　加えて、特許文献１の電力供給制御装置においては、優先順位の低い電気自動車よりも、後続の優先順位の高い電気自動車の充電が優先的に行われるため、利用者がマンション居住者や客といった、むしろ公平性が望まれる場面には向かないという問題がある。 However, the above-described power supply control device of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that it is not possible to appropriately determine the priority of charging for a plurality of electric vehicles having no difference in public property.
For example, when the power supply control device of Patent Document 1 is installed in an apartment, a commercial facility, etc., the majority of the condominium residents and customers who use the electric vehicle have no difference in terms of publicity, so the priority order is not fixed. Therefore, there is a possibility that charging based on the power that can be supplied cannot be performed properly.
In addition, in the power supply control device of Patent Document 1, charging of the subsequent high-priority electric vehicle is performed preferentially over the low-priority electric vehicle. However, there is a problem that it is not suitable for situations where fairness is desired.
　本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、電力供給能力に限界がある施設においても、複数の電動車両に対し公平かつ効率よく充電を行う電動車両充電装置及び電動車両充電システムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes an electric vehicle charging device and an electric vehicle charging system that charge a plurality of electric vehicles fairly and efficiently even in a facility with limited power supply capacity. The purpose is to provide.
　かかる目的を達成するため、本発明は、供給可能な電力に制限のある場所に設置され、複数の電動車両に対して個別に充電を行う充電部を複数有する電動車両充電装置であって、複数の電動車両に対して循環的に充電を行うことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve such an object, the present invention is an electric vehicle charging device that is installed in a place where the power that can be supplied is limited and has a plurality of charging units that individually charge a plurality of electric vehicles. The electric vehicle is charged in a cyclic manner.
　また、本発明における電動車両充電装置は、予め充電順を定めたテーブルを格納し、テーブルに定められた充電順に従って所定時間ごと循環的に充電を行うことを特徴とする。 In addition, the electric vehicle charging device according to the present invention is characterized in that a table in which the charging order is determined in advance is stored, and charging is performed cyclically at predetermined times according to the charging order determined in the table.
　また、本発明における電動車両充電装置は、充電が完了した電動車両については充電をスキップして次の充電順の電動車両の充電を行うことを特徴とする。 In addition, the electric vehicle charging device according to the present invention is characterized in that the electric vehicle that has been charged is skipped and the electric vehicle is charged in the next charging order.
　また、本発明における電動車両充電装置は、複数の電動車両に対して充電可能となった順に充電を行い、電動車両の充電が完了すると、次の充電順の電動車両の充電を行うことを特徴とする。 The electric vehicle charging device according to the present invention performs charging in the order in which charging is possible for a plurality of electric vehicles, and when the charging of the electric vehicles is completed, the electric vehicles are charged in the next charging order. And
　また、本発明における電動車両充電システムは、上記の電動車両充電装置と、電動車両充電装置から充電の状況を示す充電履歴情報をネットワークを介して受信して管理する管理サーバと、電動車両の利用者が操作するユーザ端末とを有し、管理サーバは、１台の電動車両の充電が完了すると、充電が完了した旨を、該当する電動車両の利用者のユーザ端末へ送信し、ユーザ端末は、充電が完了した旨の通知を管理サーバから受信すると、通知の画面表示及び音声出力の少なくとも一方を実行することを特徴とする。 An electric vehicle charging system according to the present invention includes the above-described electric vehicle charging device, a management server that receives and manages charging history information indicating the state of charging from the electric vehicle charging device via a network, and use of the electric vehicle.

（第１の実施の形態の動作）
（１）電動車両充電システムによる充電完了通知動作
　図４は、本発明の第１の実施の形態における電動車両充電システムによる充電完了通知動作の流れを示すシーケンスチャートである。
　以下、本図に沿って、本実施形態における電動車両充電システムによる充電完了通知動作について説明する。 (Operation of the first embodiment)
(1) Charging Completion Notification Operation by Electric Vehicle Charging System FIG. 4 is a sequence chart showing a flow of charging completion notification operation by the electric vehicle charging system in the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the charging completion notification operation by the electric vehicle charging system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
　利用者は、情報記録媒体に書き込まれている利用者の識別情報を電動車両充電装置１０の読取部１４に読み取らせる（ステップＳ１）。
　例えば、情報記録媒体と読取部１４との間の通信方式が、ＩＣカードの分野で広く用いられている非接触型無線通信である場合には、利用者が情報記録媒体を読取部１４上にかざすことで、読取部１４は、利用者の識別情報を読み取ることができる。 The user causes the reading unit 14 of the electric vehicle charging device 10 to read the user identification information written in the information recording medium (step S1).
For example, when the communication method between the information recording medium and the reading unit 14 is contactless wireless communication widely used in the field of IC cards, the user places the information recording medium on the reading unit 14. By holding it over, the reading unit 14 can read the identification information of the user.
　次に、利用者は、操作表示部１３を操作して、電動車両充電装置１０が有する複数の充電部１２のうち、使用する充電部１２を選択し指定する（ステップＳ２）。すると、指定された充電部１２の充電部扉１２ａが開扉する。
　特に、利用者側が充電部１２を使用していないときには、電動車両充電装置１０側で使用していない空きの充電部１２の充電部扉１２ａが開扉して、電動車両ＥＶの充電ケーブルＣＡが接続可能になる。 Next, the user operates the operation display unit 13 to select and specify the charging unit 12 to be used among the plurality of charging units 12 included in the electric vehicle charging device 10 (step S2). Then, the charging part door 12a of the designated charging part 12 opens.
In particular, when the user side is not using the charging unit 12, the charging unit door 12a of the empty charging unit 12 that is not used on the electric vehicle charging device 10 side is opened, and the charging cable CA of the electric vehicle EV is connected. Connectable.
　電動車両ＥＶの充電ケーブルＣＡが充電口１２ｂに接続された後、電動車両充電装置１０は、その充電ケーブルＣＡで接続された電動車両ＥＶに対し充電を行う（ステップＳ３）。
　ここで、電動車両充電装置１０は、複数の接続された電動車両ＥＶに対して、それぞれ一定時間ごとに切り替えて充電を行う。つまり、電動車両充電装置１０は、複数の電動車両ＥＶに対して同時に充電を行うのではなく、充電を１台ごと行う。これにより、充電に使用可能な電力量が制限されている場合であっても、その制限電力量内で効率よく電動車両ＥＶへの充電を行うことができる。
　この充電動作の詳細については後述する。 After the charging cable CA of the electric vehicle EV is connected to the charging port 12b, the electric vehicle charging device 10 charges the electric vehicle EV connected by the charging cable CA (step S3).
Here, the electric vehicle charging device 10 charges each of the connected electric vehicles EV by switching at regular intervals. That is, the electric vehicle charging device 10 does not charge the plurality of electric vehicles EV at the same time, but performs charging one by one. Thereby, even if it is a case where the electric energy which can be used for charge is restrict | limited, the electric vehicle EV can be charged efficiently within the limited electric energy.
Details of this charging operation will be described later.
　また、電動車両充電装置１０は、充電部１２の利用状況を示す充電履歴情報を管理サーバ２０へ送信する（ステップＳ４）。
　例えば、電動車両充電装置１０は、この充電履歴情報を所定時間ごとに管理サーバ２０へ送信する。また、充電が開始・一時停止・再開等して新たな充電履歴情報が生成されるごとに送信するようにしてもよい。その他、電動車両充電装置１０は、所定時間ごとに受信する管理サーバ２０からの充電履歴情報の取得要求に応じて、送信するようにしてもよい。 Moreover, the electric vehicle charging device 10 transmits charging history information indicating the usage status of the charging unit 12 to the management server 20 (step S4).
For example, the electric vehicle charging device 10 transmits this charging history information to the management server 20 every predetermined time. Alternatively, it may be transmitted each time new charging history information is generated by starting, pausing, or restarting charging. In addition, the electric vehicle charging apparatus 10 may be transmitted in response to an acquisition request for charging history information from the management server 20 received every predetermined time.
　管理サーバ２０は、上記充電履歴情報を電動車両充電装置１０から受信すると、その受信した充電履歴情報を自機内の蓄積部に蓄積する（ステップＳ５）。 When the management server 20 receives the charging history information from the electric vehicle charging device 10, the management server 20 stores the received charging history information in the storage unit in the own device (step S5).
　電動車両充電装置１０は、接続されている電動車両ＥＶのうちのいずれかの充電が完了すると（ステップＳ６／Ｙｅｓ）、その旨を示す充電履歴情報を生成し、管理サーバ２０へ送信する（ステップＳ７）。 When the charging of any one of the connected electric vehicles EV is completed (step S6 / Yes), the electric vehicle charging device 10 generates charging history information indicating the fact and transmits it to the management server 20 (step). S7).
　管理サーバ２０は、上記充電完了を示す充電履歴情報を電動車両充電装置１０から受信すると、その受信した充電履歴情報を自機内の蓄積部に蓄積する（ステップＳ８）。
　次に、管理サーバ２０は、その充電履歴情報に基づいて、前述の充電完了通知を生成し、その生成した充電完了通知を、当該充電が完了した電動車両ＥＶの利用者のユーザ端末３０へ送信する（ステップＳ９）。 When the management server 20 receives the charging history information indicating the completion of the charging from the electric vehicle charging device 10, the management server 20 stores the received charging history information in the storage unit in the own device (step S8).
Next, the management server 20 generates the above-described charging completion notification based on the charging history information, and transmits the generated charging completion notification to the user terminal 30 of the user of the electric vehicle EV that has completed the charging. (Step S9).
　ユーザ端末３０は、その充電完了通知を受信すると、その充電完了通知を自機内の記憶部に記憶するとともに、画面表示又は音声出力する（ステップＳ１０）。
　利用者は、ユーザ端末３０の画面表示又は出力された音声を確認して、自身の電動車両ＥＶの充電が完了した事実を把握する。
　以上で、電動車両充電システムによる充電完了通知動作が終了する。 When the user terminal 30 receives the charging completion notification, the user terminal 30 stores the charging completion notification in the storage unit in the own device, and displays the screen or outputs the sound (step S10).
The user confirms the screen display of the user terminal 30 or the output voice, and grasps the fact that charging of the own electric vehicle EV is completed.
This completes the charging completion notification operation by the electric vehicle charging system.
（２）電動車両充電装置１０による充電動作
　次に、以上説明した充電完了通知動作における充電動作（ステップＳ３）についてさらに詳細に説明する。 (2) Charging Operation by Electric Vehicle Charging Device 10 Next, the charging operation (step S3) in the charging completion notification operation described above will be described in more detail.
　前述のように、電動車両充電装置１０は、複数の電動車両ＥＶが充電口１２ｂに接続されている場合であっても、同時に複数の電動車両ＥＶに対して充電を行うのではなく、一時に１つの電動車両ＥＶに対してのみ充電を行う。すなわち、所定時間ごとに充電対象の電動車両ＥＶを切り替えて充電を行う。 As described above, even when the plurality of electric vehicles EV is connected to the charging port 12b, the electric vehicle charging apparatus 10 does not charge the plurality of electric vehicles EV at the same time, but at a time. Only one electric vehicle EV is charged. That is, charging is performed by switching the electric vehicle EV to be charged every predetermined time.
　図５は、その電動車両充電装置１０の記憶部１５に記憶されている充電順の情報を管理するテーブルの一例を示す図である。
　図の例は、充電の対象を４台の電動車両ＥＶ１～ＥＶ４とした場合である。この例では、電動車両ＥＶ１，ＥＶ２，ＥＶ３，ＥＶ４の順に時系列的に各充電部１２に対して接続されている。 FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table for managing information on the charging order stored in the storage unit 15 of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 10.
The example shown in the figure is a case where charging targets are four electric vehicles EV1 to EV4. In this example, the electric vehicles EV1, EV2, EV3, EV4 are connected to each charging unit 12 in time series.
　図６の（ａ），（ｂ）は、図５の電動車両ＥＶ１～ＥＶ４の充電の順の一例を示す図である。
　（ａ）に示すように、この例では、２時間ごとにＥＶ１→ＥＶ２→ＥＶ３→ＥＶ４の順に充電を行う。
　ここで、（ａ）のように２時間ごとの充電を、ＥＶ１→ＥＶ２→ＥＶ３→ＥＶ４の順に繰り返した結果、ＥＶ３の充電が完了したとする。この場合には、（ｂ）に示すように、充電が未完了の電動車両ＥＶについて、ＥＶ１→ＥＶ２→ＥＶ４の順に各２時間ずつ充電を行う。 FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing an example of the order of charging of the electric vehicles EV1 to EV4 in FIG.
As shown to (a), in this example, it charges in order of EV1->EV2->EV3-> EV4 every 2 hours.
Here, it is assumed that the charging of EV3 is completed as a result of repeating the charging every two hours as shown in (a) in the order of EV1, EV2, EV3, and EV4. In this case, as shown in (b), the electric vehicle EV that has not been fully charged is charged for 2 hours each in the order of EV1 → EV2 → EV4.
　図７は、その電動車両充電装置１０による充電動作の流れを示すフローチャートである。
　以下、本図に沿って、複数の電動車両ＥＶが電動車両充電装置１０に接続されている場合について説明を進める。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the charging operation by the electric vehicle charging apparatus 10.
Hereinafter, along with this figure, description is advanced about the case where the several electric vehicle EV is connected to the electric vehicle charging device 10. FIG.
　まず、利用者は、電動車両ＥＶの充電ケーブルＣＡを、電動車両充電装置１０の充電部１２に接続する。
　電動車両充電装置１０は、その充電部１２に充電ケーブルＣＡが接続されたことを認識すると（ステップＳ１０１／Ｙｅｓ）、その新たに充電のため接続された電動車両ＥＶの前に接続された他の電動車両ＥＶの充電が、既に完了しているか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０２）。 First, the user connects the charging cable CA of the electric vehicle EV to the charging unit 12 of the electric vehicle charging device 10.
When the electric vehicle charging device 10 recognizes that the charging cable CA is connected to the charging unit 12 (step S101 / Yes), the electric vehicle charging device 10 is connected to another electric vehicle EV that is connected in front of the newly connected electric vehicle EV. It is determined whether charging of electric vehicle EV has already been completed (step S102).
　以前に接続された他の電動車両ＥＶの充電が、既に完了していると判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０２／Ｙｅｓ）、新たに接続した電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１０４）。 When it is determined that charging of the other electric vehicle EV connected before has already been completed (step S102 / Yes), charging of the newly connected electric vehicle EV is started (step S104).
　一方、以前に接続された他の電動車両ＥＶの充電が、まだ完了していないと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０２／Ｎｏ）、当該他の電動車両ＥＶの充電が開始してから所定時間（図６の例では２時間）経過したか否か判断する（ステップＳ１０３）。
　ここで、電動車両充電装置１０が、上記所定時間経過したと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０３／Ｙｅｓ）、当該他の電動車両ＥＶの充電を一時停止して、新たに接続された電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１０４）。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the charging of the other electric vehicle EV connected before has not been completed yet (step S102 / No), the charging of the other electric vehicle EV is started for a predetermined time ( It is determined whether or not two hours have passed in the example of FIG. 6 (step S103).
If the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S103 / Yes), the charging of the other electric vehicle EV is temporarily stopped and the newly connected electric vehicle EV is temporarily connected. Is started (step S104).
　そして、電動車両充電装置１０は、新たに接続された電動車両ＥＶの充電開始後（ステップＳ１０４）、当該電動車両ＥＶの充電が完了したか否か判断する（ステップＳ１０５）。 And the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines whether or not the charging of the electric vehicle EV has been completed after the start of charging of the newly connected electric vehicle EV (step S104).
　電動車両充電装置１０が、当該電動車両ＥＶの充電が既に完了していると判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０５／Ｙｅｓ）、他のまだ充電が未完了の電動車両ＥＶが接続されているか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０６）。
　充電未完了の電動車両ＥＶが他に接続されていないと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０６／Ｎｏ）、接続された電動車両ＥＶ全ての充電が完了したと判断し、動作を終了する。
　充電未完了の電動車両ＥＶが他に接続されていると判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０６／Ｙｅｓ）、上記充電が完了した電動車両ＥＶの充電順が最後であるか否か判断する（ステップＳ１１０）。
　充電順が最後ではない場合には（ステップＳ１１０／Ｎｏ）、電動車両充電装置１０は、次の充電順の電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１１１）。
　一方、充電順が最後である場合には（ステップＳ１１０／Ｙｅｓ）、最初の充電順の電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１１２）。
　例えば、前述の図５，６の例で説明すると、充電順が３番目の電動車両ＥＶ３の充電が完了した場合には、４番目の充電順の電動車両ＥＶ４の充電を開始する。また、充電順が４番目の電動車両ＥＶ４の充電が完了した場合には、１番目の充電順の電動車両ＥＶ１の充電を開始する。 If the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines that charging of the electric vehicle EV has already been completed (step S105 / Yes), whether or not another electric vehicle EV that has not yet been charged is connected. Is determined (step S106).
If it is determined that no other uncharged electric vehicle EV is connected (step S106 / No), it is determined that all the connected electric vehicles EV have been charged, and the operation is terminated.
When it is determined that the uncharged electric vehicle EV is connected to another (step S106 / Yes), it is determined whether or not the charging order of the electric vehicle EV that has been charged is the last (step S110). ).
When the charging order is not the last (step S110 / No), the electric vehicle charging device 10 starts charging the electric vehicle EV in the next charging order (step S111).
On the other hand, when the charging order is last (step S110 / Yes), charging of the electric vehicle EV in the first charging order is started (step S112).
For example, in the example of FIGS. 5 and 6 described above, when the charging of the third electric vehicle EV3 in the charging order is completed, the charging of the electric vehicle EV4 in the fourth charging order is started. When the charging of the fourth electric vehicle EV4 in the charging order is completed, the charging of the electric vehicle EV1 in the first charging order is started.
　ここで、ステップＳ１０５に戻って、電動車両充電装置１０は、新たに接続された電動車両ＥＶの充電がまだ完了していないと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０５／Ｎｏ）、当該電動車両ＥＶの充電が開始してから所定時間（図６の例では２時間）経過したか否か判断する（ステップＳ１０７）。
　ここで、電動車両充電装置１０が、上記所定時間経過したと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０７／Ｙｅｓ）、他のまだ充電が未完了の電動車両ＥＶが接続されているか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０８）。
　他の充電未完了の電動車両ＥＶが接続されていないと判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０８／Ｎｏ）、そのまま充電を継続する（ステップＳ１０５）。
　一方、他の充電未完了の電動車両ＥＶが接続されていると判断した場合には（ステップＳ１０８／Ｙｅｓ）、当該電動車両ＥＶの充電を一時停止する（ステップＳ１０９）。
　そして、電動車両充電装置１０は、上記充電を中断した電動車両ＥＶの充電順が最後であるか否か判断する（ステップＳ１１０）。
　充電順が最後ではない場合には（ステップＳ１１０／Ｎｏ）、電動車両充電装置１０は、次の充電順の電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１１１）。
　一方、充電順が最後である場合には（ステップＳ１１０／Ｙｅｓ）、最初の充電順の電動車両ＥＶの充電を開始する（ステップＳ１１２）。 Here, returning to step S105, when the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines that charging of the newly connected electric vehicle EV is not yet completed (step S105 / No), the electric vehicle EV It is determined whether a predetermined time (2 hours in the example of FIG. 6) has elapsed since the start of charging (step S107).
When the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S107 / Yes), it is determined whether another electric vehicle EV that has not yet been charged is connected (step S107 / Yes). Step S108).
If it is determined that another uncompleted electric vehicle EV is not connected (No at Step S108), the charging is continued as it is (Step S105).
On the other hand, when it is determined that another uncompleted electric vehicle EV is connected (Yes in step S108), charging of the electric vehicle EV is temporarily stopped (step S109).
Then, the electric vehicle charging device 10 determines whether or not the charging order of the electric vehicle EV for which the charging has been interrupted is the last (step S110).
When the charging order is not the last (step S110 / No), the electric vehicle charging device 10 starts charging the electric vehicle EV in the next charging order (step S111).
On the other hand, when the charging order is last (step S110 / Yes), charging of the electric vehicle EV in the first charging order is started (step S112).
　以上のように、本実施の形態においては、電動車両充電装置１０は、接続された複数の電動車両ＥＶ全ての充電が完了するまで、記憶部１５内のテーブルにおいて管理されている充電順に基づいて充電を循環的に繰り返す。
　従って、マンション等使用できる電力に制限のある場所において、複数の電動車両ＥＶに対して充電を行うときにも、上記電力制限を守りながら複数の電動車両ＥＶに対して効率よく充電を行うことが可能となる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, electric vehicle charging apparatus 10 is based on the charging order managed in the table in storage unit 15 until charging of all connected electric vehicles EV is completed. Charging is repeated cyclically.
Therefore, even when charging a plurality of electric vehicles EV in a place where there is a limit on power that can be used, such as an apartment, it is possible to efficiently charge the plurality of electric vehicles EV while keeping the power limitation. It becomes possible.
（３）空き通知動作
　次に、電動車両充電システムによる空き通知動作を説明する。
　空き通知動作とは、全ての充電部１２が使用中のために充電ができなかった場合に、その後に充電部１２に空きができたことを利用者側に通知する動作である。
　図８は、その本発明の第１の実施の形態における電動車両充電システムによる空き通知動作の流れを示すシーケンスチャートである。
　以下、本図に沿って、その空き通知動作の説明を進める。 (3) Empty notification operation Next, the empty notification operation by the electric vehicle charging system will be described.
The empty notification operation is an operation of notifying the user that the charging unit 12 has become empty after all the charging units 12 are not being charged because they are in use.
FIG. 8 is a sequence chart showing the flow of empty notification operation by the electric vehicle charging system in the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the explanation of the empty notification operation will be made along this figure.
　まず、利用者は、ユーザ端末３０を用いて、空き通知の登録画面の取得を要求する旨の情報を入力する（ステップＳ２１）。
　すると、ユーザ端末３０は、その空き通知の登録画面の取得要求を管理サーバ２０へ送信する（ステップＳ２２）。 First, the user uses the user terminal 30 to input information requesting acquisition of a registration screen for empty notification (step S21).
Then, the user terminal 30 transmits an acquisition request for the registration screen for the empty notification to the management server 20 (step S22).
　管理サーバ２０は、その空き通知の登録画面の取得要求をユーザ端末３０から受信すると、その空き通知の登録画面を示す情報をユーザ端末３０へ送信する（ステップＳ２３）。
　ユーザ端末３０は、当該情報を管理サーバ２０から受信すると、その空き通知の登録画面を自端末のディスプレイ上に表示する（ステップＳ２４）。
　図９は、その空き通知の登録画面の一例を示す図である。
　図の例では、その登録画面上には、電動車両充電装置１０に備えられた充電部１２の番号とともに、各充電部１２の使用状態（使用中か否か）が示される。また、図の例では、各充電部１２ごとに「通知」ボタンが設けられており、利用者がユーザ端末３０を用いて「通知」ボタンを押すと、その「通知」ボタンに対応した充電部１２の空き通知を指定したことになる。 When the management server 20 receives from the user terminal 30 an acquisition request for the availability notification registration screen, the management server 20 transmits information indicating the availability notification registration screen to the user terminal 30 (step S23).
When the user terminal 30 receives the information from the management server 20, the user terminal 30 displays a registration screen for the empty notification on the display of the own terminal (step S24).
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a registration screen for the empty notification.
In the example of the figure, on the registration screen, along with the number of the charging unit 12 provided in the electric vehicle charging device 10, the usage state (whether or not it is in use) of each charging unit 12 is shown. Further, in the example of the figure, a “notification” button is provided for each charging unit 12, and when the user presses the “notification” button using the user terminal 30, the charging unit corresponding to the “notification” button. Twelve free notifications are designated.
　図８の説明に戻る。
　利用者は、その表示された空き通知の登録画面上のボタンや入力欄等において、空き通知を希望する旨の情報を入力する（ステップＳ２５）。
　例えば、この情報入力の際、利用者は、空き通知の登録画面上で複数ある使用中の充電部１２のうち、後で使用したい充電部１２（空き通知の対象の充電部１２）を指定する。また、どの充電部１２を使用するかは特に指定せずに、単に空き通知を希望する旨の情報を入力するようにしてもよい。
　ユーザ端末３０は、これら空き通知の登録画面上で入力された情報とともに、その利用者の識別情報及びメールアドレスを管理サーバ２０へ送信して、管理サーバ２０に対して空き通知の登録を要求する（ステップＳ２６）。 Returning to the description of FIG.
The user inputs information indicating that he / she wishes to use a blank notification, using a button or an input field on the displayed blank notification registration screen (step S25).
For example, when inputting this information, the user designates the charging unit 12 (the charging unit 12 that is the target of the empty notification) to be used later from among a plurality of charging units 12 in use on the registration screen of the empty notification. . In addition, it is possible to simply input information indicating that a free notification is desired without specifying which charging unit 12 is used.
The user terminal 30 sends the identification information and the mail address of the user together with the information entered on the registration screen for the availability notification to the management server 20 and requests the management server 20 to register the availability notification. (Step S26).
　管理サーバ２０は、その空き通知の登録要求をユーザ端末３０から受信すると、当該登録要求を記憶部１５内のデータベースに登録する（ステップＳ２７）。
　図１０は、その空き通知を管理するデータベースの一例を示す図である。
　図の例では、当該データベースは、各充電部１２の番号と、現在の使用状態と、使用している利用者の識別番号と、空き通知の送信の有無とを互いに対応付けて管理する。
　ここで、「充電部１２が使用中」とは、実際に充電が行われている最中である状態に加え、充電はまだ開始されていない又は既に完了しているが電動車両ＥＶの充電ケーブルＣＡが接続されている状態をも含む。
　管理事業者は、事業者端末４０を用いて管理サーバ２０にアクセスして、上記空き通知を管理するデータベースを参照し、電動車両充電装置１０の各充電部１２の使用状態や空き通知の送信の有無等を確認することができる。 When the management server 20 receives the registration request for the empty notification from the user terminal 30, the management server 20 registers the registration request in the database in the storage unit 15 (step S27).
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a database for managing the availability notification.
In the example of the figure, the database manages the number of each charging unit 12, the current usage state, the identification number of the user in use, and whether or not a free notification is transmitted in association with each other.
Here, “the charging unit 12 is in use” means, in addition to a state where charging is actually being performed, charging has not yet started or has already been completed, but the charging cable of the electric vehicle EV This includes the state where CA is connected.
The management company accesses the management server 20 using the company terminal 40, refers to the database for managing the availability notification, and transmits the usage status of each charging unit 12 of the electric vehicle charging device 10 and the availability notification transmission. The presence or absence can be confirmed.
　図８の説明に戻る。
　管理サーバ２０は、充電履歴情報を電動車両充電装置１０から受信すると、その受信した充電履歴情報の内容に応じて、その度ごとに上記空き通知のデータベースを更新する。
　管理サーバ２０は、所定時間おき又は更新があるごとに上記データベースを参照して、充電部１２に空きがあるか否かを判断する（ステップＳ２８）。
　指定された充電部１２に空きがあるとき、又は特に指定がない場合に充電部１２のいずれかに空きがあるときには（ステップＳ２８／Ｙｅｓ）、管理サーバ２０は、その充電部１２に空きができた旨を知らせる空き通知をユーザ端末３０へ送信する（ステップＳ２９）。
　ただし、空いている充電部１２であっても、既に空き通知をユーザ端末３０へ送信した充電部１２については、再度他のユーザ端末３０へは送信しない。 Returning to the description of FIG.
When the management server 20 receives the charging history information from the electric vehicle charging device 10, the management server 20 updates the empty notification database each time according to the content of the received charging history information.
The management server 20 refers to the database every predetermined time or every time there is an update, and determines whether or not the charging unit 12 has a free space (step S28).
When there is a vacancy in the designated charging unit 12 or when there is no vacancy in any of the charging units 12 unless otherwise specified (step S28 / Yes), the management server 20 can vacate the charging unit 12. A vacancy notification informing the user is transmitted to the user terminal 30 (step S29).
However, even if the charging unit 12 is free, the charging unit 12 that has already transmitted a free notification to the user terminal 30 is not transmitted to another user terminal 30 again.
　ユーザ端末３０は、上記空き通知を管理サーバ２０から受信すると、自端末のディスプレイ上に表示又は音声出力して、利用者に空き通知の受信を知らせる（ステップＳ３０）。
　その後、利用者は、その空き通知を確認して、該当する電動車両充電装置１０の設置場所を訪れ、充電を行う。 When the user terminal 30 receives the empty notification from the management server 20, the user terminal 30 displays it on the display of its own terminal or outputs a voice to notify the user of the reception of the empty notification (step S30).
Thereafter, the user confirms the empty notification, visits the installation location of the corresponding electric vehicle charging device 10, and performs charging.
　このように、管理サーバ２０は、充電部１２の空き状態を確認し、空きができたときには、空き通知をユーザ端末３０へ送信するので、利用者は、電動車両充電装置１０の設置場所をわざわざ訪れなくとも、充電部１２に空きがあるか否かを把握できるとともに、空きができたときには容易に確認でき、充電作業を効率よく行うことが可能となる。 As described above, the management server 20 confirms the vacant state of the charging unit 12 and transmits a vacancy notification to the user terminal 30 when the vacant part is available. Without visiting, it is possible to grasp whether or not the charging unit 12 has a vacancy, and it is possible to easily check when the vacancy is available, so that the charging operation can be performed efficiently.
