최근 지구 온난화와 미세먼지 등의 환경문제로 CO₂배출량 규제 강화, 화석연료 고갈 및 고유가 문제 등에 대처하기 위해 친환경 자동차의 개발 및 그린카 보급을 세계 각국들이 경쟁적으로 늘리고 있다.Recently, eco-friendly vehicles and green cars have been competitively increasing in the world to develop eco-friendly vehicles and cope with the problems of global warming and fine dust to strengthen regulations on CO2 emissions, exhaust fossil fuels, and high oil prices.
CO₂배출량 규제 등의 환경변화는 새로운 시장의 창출은 물론 우리 실생활에서 지금까지와는 전혀 다른 차원으로의 변화를 요구하고 있는데 이를 위해 각국은 많은 자본과 기술을 투자해 시장을 선점하기 위해 치열한 경쟁을 하고 있고 CO₂배출의 많은 부분을 차지하고 있는 수송부문은 기존의 내연기관 자동차로부터 친환경자동차라는 무·저공해 자동차로 변화하고 있다.Environmental changes such as regulation of CO2 emissions require creation of a new market and a change from our real life to a completely different level. To this end, each country invests a lot of capital and technology to compete fiercely to preoccupy the market. The transportation sector, which accounts for a large portion of CO2 emissions, is changing from an existing internal combustion engine car to an eco-friendly and non-pollution car.
전 세계 자동차 회사들은 무·저공해 자동차의 개발이 회사의 생존문제와 직결되기 때문에 이의 강력한 대안으로 떠오른 전기자동차를 본격적으로 개발하고 있어도 조기 상용화가 되지 못하는 최대 걸림돌은 짧은 주행거리와 장시간 재충전 문제인데 이를 해결하기 위해 새롭게 고가의 대용량 배터리를 장착하여 주행거리를 대폭 늘렸지만 충전시간은 여전히 길고 전기차 가격은 아주 비싸 대중화가 되지 못하고 있다. Automakers around the world are developing electric vehicles that have emerged as powerful alternatives because the development of low- and low-pollution cars is directly related to the company's survival problems, but the biggest obstacle to early commercialization is short mileage and long-term recharging. In order to solve the problem, a new high-capacity battery was installed to greatly increase the driving distance, but the charging time is still long and the price of electric vehicles is very expensive, and it has not been popularized.
상기 문제를 해결하기 위해선 종래 지면 고정식 충전기에 전기차가 플러그-인 연결해 장시간 정차 중 충전하던 방식을 이젠 전기적 제어로 무인 주행(이동)할 수 있게 만든 충전차로 전환시켜 전기차와 상호 플러그-인 연결하여 함께 달리면서 주행 중 충전하는 새로운 방식으로 개혁하여 충전시간을 대폭 절약할 수 있는 고가식 충전 전용도로를 승용/버스/화물 등 모든 전기차들이 목적지 방향에 설치해 이용할 수 있게 지면 차도(車道)의 중앙분리대와 갓길 옆 측면 등에 2-3미터 높이의 기둥 교각상판위에 반달형 투명 덮개로 된 터널식의 충전차 전용도로 내부에 설치한 접촉식 및 비접촉식의 대용량 전기를 통전 받은 충전차가 전기차와 플러그-인 연결해 함께 달리면서 충전용 전기와 주행용 전기를 따로 분리해 전기차에 동시 공급하는 장치로 충전 주행 중에도 차내 히터와 에어컨 등을 사용할 수 있다. 또한 충전시간과 충전장소 절약으로 전기차의 가장 큰 문제인 20~30분간 길게 기다리며 충전하는 불편함을 일소되어 소비자 이용이 편리한 주행(이동) 중 충전장치와 이에 맞는 전기자동차의 개발이 동시 이루어져 충전인프라의 구축여부가 전기자동차의 보급증대 사활에 필수적인 요소로 부각되고 있고 결과적으로 충전인프라를 먼저 구축하는 국가가 경제적인 이득은 물론 시장 지배력을 확보할 것으로 예상된다. In order to solve the above problem, the electric vehicle is plug-in connected to a conventional ground stationary charger, and the method of charging during long stops is now converted into a charging vehicle that can be unmanned driving (moved) by electric control. With a new way of charging while running, it is reformed with a new way to charge, and a high-priced charging lane that can significantly save charging time can be installed and used in the direction of the destination by all electric vehicles such as passengers, buses, and cargo. On the side of the side of the shoulder, on the side of the pier with a height of 2-3 meters, the charging car, which has a large capacity of contact and non-contact electricity installed inside the tunnel-type charging car with a half-moon type transparent cover, runs with the electric vehicle plug-in. As a device that separates charging electricity and driving electricity separately and simultaneously supplies them to an electric vehicle, it is possible to use a heater and an air conditioner in the vehicle even during charging driving. In addition, the inconvenience of charging while waiting for 20-30 minutes, which is the biggest problem of electric vehicles, is eliminated by saving charging time and charging place. Whether or not the construction is being emphasized as an essential element for increasing the life and death of electric vehicles, and as a result, the country that builds the charging infrastructure first is expected to secure not only economic benefits but also market dominance.
매년 전기차 판매량은 대폭 증가하고 있는 반면 현행 전기자동차의 급속(완속)충전은 주로 충전장소에 진입 후 시동을 끄고 정지된 상태에서 운전자가 차에서 내려 설치된 지면 고정식 충전기기의 플러그를 직접 뽑아 전기자동차에 마련되어 있는 콘센트 인렛에 연결해 충전을 하고 있는 방법으로 이용하고 있는데 비가 올 때 비에 젖은 충전 코드 감전이 겁나 충전소를 맴도는 전기차의 운전자들이 많으며 또한 대용량 배터리를 장착한 승용 전기차를 충전시 감전 위험 때문에 절연 장갑과 안전장비를 갖추어 충전하기가 불편하다. While the sales of electric vehicles are increasing significantly every year, the rapid (slow) charging of current electric vehicles mainly comes into the charging place, turns off the engine, and in the stopped state, the driver pulls off the car and pulls the plug of the ground stationary charger installed directly to the electric vehicle. It is used as a method of charging by connecting to the provided inlet, but there are many drivers of electric vehicles hovering at the charging station due to fear of electric shock that is wet with rain when it rains, and insulated gloves due to the risk of electric shock when charging electric vehicles equipped with large-capacity batteries It is inconvenient to charge with safety equipment.
이러한 문제점을 해결코자 본 발명자는 대한민국 등록특허공보(B1)10-1231896호(2013.02.22.)의 전기자동차용 충전장치(주행 중 충전장치)를 개발한 바 있으며, 그 구성은 도로의 가장자리(노변) 또는 중앙분리대를 따라서 지상에 세워진 교각 상단 또는 지하나 반지하에 설치되는 박스 형태의 충전차 전용 주행로와, 충전차 주행로를 따라서 이동하는 속도가 전기적으로 제어되는 충전(차)와, 고속 주행하는 충전차와 전기적으로 연결되도록 충전차 주행로를 따라서 설치한 급전용 전력선과, 충전차에 고정 설치되어 주행 중인 전기자동차와 전기적으로 연결되는 충전용 전력선어셈블리를 포함하도록 구성하고 있다.In order to solve this problem, the present inventor has developed a charging device for electric vehicles (charging device while driving) of the Republic of Korea Patent Registration (B1) 10-1231896 (2013.02.22.), the composition of which is the edge of the road ( Roadside) or a box-shaped charging car dedicated lane installed at the top of a pier or underground or on a ground along a median, and a charging (car) that electrically controls the speed of movement along the charging lane, and high speed It is configured to include a power line for power supply installed along a charging car lane so as to be electrically connected to a running charging car, and a charging power line assembly fixedly installed in the charging car and electrically connected to the driving electric vehicle.

또한 충전을 위해서 운전자가 하차하여 커넥터를 전기자동차에 구비되어 있는 인렛에 직접 결합 및 분리해야 하는 불편이 있었다.In addition, there was a inconvenience in that the driver had to get off for charging and connect and disconnect the connector directly to the inlet provided in the electric vehicle.
이에 본 발명자는 상기한 종래 전기자동차용 (플러그-인 주행 중 충전장치)충전장치에서 이동식 충전차의 커넥터와 전기자동차의 인렛 사이를 연결하는 충전케이블 구성 등에서 발생하는 제반 문제점을 일소코자 본 발명을 연구 개발한 것이다.Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention solves all the problems arising from the configuration of a charging cable connecting a connector of a mobile charging vehicle and an inlet of an electric vehicle in a charging device for a conventional electric vehicle (plug-in while driving).
