화석연료를 소비하던 시대에서 친환경 재생에너지를 사용하는 시대로 전환되고 있다. 여러가지 환경오염을 유발할 뿐만 아니라 매장량이 정해져 있던 화석연료를 대체하여 친환경 전기에너지나 수소연료의 활용에 대한 연구도 활발하게 진행되고 있다.We are transitioning from an era of fossil fuel consumption to an era of using eco-friendly renewable energy. Research is also actively being conducted on the use of eco-friendly electric energy or hydrogen fuel to replace fossil fuels, which not only cause various types of environmental pollution but also have limited reserves.
그 중에서도 차량의 경우 전통적인 엔진방식에서 전기를 사용하는 모터방식으로 전환되는 추세에 있다. 하지만, 전기차는 충전시설이 부족하다는 점과 충전 후 주행거리가 짧다는 단점도 여전히 가지고 있다.Among them, there is a trend of transitioning from traditional engine-type vehicles to electric motor-type vehicles. However, electric vehicles still have the disadvantages of a lack of charging facilities and a short driving distance after charging.
아직 부족한 충전시설로 인해 전기차 충전소는 긴 줄을 서서 기다리는 경우가 많고, 배터리용량이 크지 않아 충전을 자주해야 한다는 문제점들도 지니고 있었다.Due to the lack of charging facilities, electric vehicle charging stations often require long lines, and the battery capacity is small, requiring frequent charging.
따라서, 주차시설이나 정차시설에 전기차를 충전할 수 있는 설비들이 구비되고 있기는 하지만, 충전기의 수가 한정되어 있어 소수의 차량만이 혜택을 누릴 수 있었다.Therefore, although parking facilities and stopping facilities are equipped with facilities to charge electric vehicles, the number of chargers is limited, so only a small number of vehicles can benefit.
따라서, 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 기술의 제안이 필요하였다.Therefore, there was a need to propose a technology to solve these problems.

본 발명의 또 다른 과제는, 전기차의 충전이 완료되는 시간에 맞춰 충전기를 제거해줘야만 했던 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하는 것이다.Another task of the present invention is to solve the problem of the prior art in which the charger had to be removed in accordance with the time when charging of the electric vehicle is completed.
본 발명의 과제들은 이상에서 언급한 내용들로 제한되지 않으며, 언급되지 않은 또 다른 과제나 목적들은 하기의 설명에 의해서 이해될 수 있을 것이다.The tasks of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other tasks or purposes not mentioned can be understood through the following description.

도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동충전 장치의 사시도이고, 도 2는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동충전 장치의 평면도이다.FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of an electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동충전 장치는 주차라인이 표시되어 있는 주차장(10)에 설치될 수 있다.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention can be installed in a parking lot (10) where parking lines are indicated.
주차장(10)은 실내주차장(10)이나 실외주차장(10) 모두 적용될 수 있고, 소정의 주차공간이 형성된 곳으로서, 일측에 전기차를 충전할 수 있는 충전기(20)가 구비된 곳이라면 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동 충전장치가 실시될 수 있다.The parking lot (10) can be applied to both an indoor parking lot (10) and an outdoor parking lot (10), and if it is a place where a predetermined parking space is formed and a charger (20) capable of charging an electric vehicle is provided on one side, an automatic electric vehicle charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention can be implemented.
본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동 충전장치는 이송모듈(100), 본체(200), 승강유닛(210), 충전플러그(220) 및 충전커넥터(300)를 포함한다.An electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a transport module (100), a main body (200), an elevating unit (210), a charging plug (220), and a charging connector (300).
이송모듈(100)는 소정의 주차공간 위에 설치된다. 이송모듈(100)은 지상으로부터 미리 정해진 높이로 이격되어 구비된다. 본 발명의 일 실시예에서 이송모듈(100)은 가로방향과 세로방향으로 각각 대상물의 이송이 가능하도록 구비되는 가로방향레일(110)과 세로방향레일(120)을 포함한다.The transport module (100) is installed on a designated parking space. The transport module (100) is installed at a predetermined height from the ground. In one embodiment of the present invention, the transport module (100) includes a horizontal rail (110) and a vertical rail (120) that are installed to enable transport of an object in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
가로방향레일(110) 및 세로방향레일(120)은 그 이송방향이 서로 직각을 이룬다. The transverse rail (110) and the longitudinal rail (120) have transport directions that are perpendicular to each other.
구체적으로, 세로방향레일(120)은 주차공간의 양측 끝에 각각 두 개가 구비된다. 세로방향레일(120)은 한 쌍이 평행하게 구비되고, 각각의 세로방향레일(120)에는 세로방향레일(120)을 따라 직선 이동하는 세로이송유닛(112)이 결합된다.Specifically, two vertical rails (120) are provided at each end of the parking space. A pair of vertical rails (120) are provided in parallel, and a vertical transport unit (112) that moves in a straight line along the vertical rail (120) is connected to each vertical rail (120).
가로방향레일(110)은 한 쌍의 세로이송유닛(112) 사이를 잇도록 형성된다.A transverse rail (110) is formed to connect a pair of vertical transport units (112).
가로방향레일(110)은 세로이송유닛(112)들이 세로방향으로 이동함에 따라 함께 움직이게 된다.The horizontal rail (110) moves together with the vertical transport units (112) as they move vertically.
또한, 가로방향레일(110)에는 가로방향레일(110)의 길이방향으로 이송 가능하게 구비되는 본체(200)가 결합된다.In addition, a main body (200) that is equipped to be moved in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal rail (110) is connected to the horizontal rail (110).
따라서, 세로이송유닛(112)이 세로방향으로 이동하고, 본체(200)가 가로방향으로 이동함에 따라 본체(200)는 주차장(10)의 미리 정해진 장소의 상부로 이송이 가능하게 된다.Accordingly, as the vertical transport unit (112) moves vertically and the main body (200) moves horizontally, the main body (200) can be transported to the upper part of a predetermined location in the parking lot (10).
즉, 본체(200)는 주차장(10)의 상부 공간에서 미리 정해진 위치로 이송이 가능하도록 구비된다.That is, the main body (200) is equipped to be transported to a predetermined position in the upper space of the parking lot (10).
도 3은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동충전 장치에서 충전플러그(220) 및 충전커넥터(300)가 서로 연결되는 상태를 도시한 상태도이다.FIG. 3 is a state diagram illustrating a state in which a charging plug (220) and a charging connector (300) are connected to each other in an electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 본체(200)는 승강유닛(210), 충전플러그(220) 및 촬영유닛(230)을 포함한다.As shown in FIG. 3, the main body (200) includes a lifting unit (210), a charging plug (220), and a shooting unit (230).
승강유닛(210)은 본체(200)로부터 아래쪽으로 연장되며, 그 길이가 길어지거나 짧아지도록 구비된다. 승강유닛(210)의 하단에는 충전플러그(220)가 구비된다. 충전플러그(220)는 전기차의 충전기(20)와 전기적으로 연결되어 전기에너지를 공급받는다.The lifting unit (210) extends downward from the main body (200) and is provided so that its length can be lengthened or shortened. A charging plug (220) is provided at the bottom of the lifting unit (210). The charging plug (220) is electrically connected to the charger (20) of the electric vehicle and supplies electric energy.
충전플러그(220)는 승강유닛(210)의 작동에 따라 그 높이가 조절된다.The height of the charging plug (220) is adjusted according to the operation of the lifting unit (210).
즉, 충전플러그(220)는 본체(200)이 움직임을 통해 주차장(10) 내에서 정해진 위치로 이동하고, 정해진 위치에 배치된 후에는 상하로 승강할 수 있게 된다.That is, the charging plug (220) moves to a set position within the parking lot (10) through the movement of the main body (200), and after being placed in the set position, it can be raised and lowered.
충전플러그(220)는 그 하단에 자성결합부(222)가 구비된다. 자성결합부(222)는 자력을 지닌 재질로 이루어지고, 후술할 충전커넥터(300)의 대응결합부(320)와 자력을 통해 서로 부착된다.The charging plug (220) is provided with a magnetic coupling part (222) at its bottom. The magnetic coupling part (222) is made of a material having magnetic force and is attached to a corresponding coupling part (320) of the charging connector (300) described later through magnetic force.
또한, 자성결합부(222)와 대응결합부(320)는 서로 유도전류가 흐르도록 구비되어 자성결합부(222)와 대응결합부(320)가 서로 부착된 상태에서 전기에너지가 전달된다.In addition, the magnetic coupling part (222) and the corresponding coupling part (320) are provided so that an induced current flows between them, and electric energy is transmitted while the magnetic coupling part (222) and the corresponding coupling part (320) are attached to each other.
그리고, 본체(200)의 하부에는 촬영유닛(230)이 설치된다.And, a shooting unit (230) is installed at the bottom of the main body (200).
촬영유닛(230)은 연직하방을 촬영한다. 즉, 충전플러그(220)가 하강하는 방향을 촬영하며 하부에 위치하는 충전커넥터(300)의 대응결합부(320)를 인식하여 대응결합부(320)를 촬영하고, 촬영된 정보는 제어부로 전송한다.The shooting unit (230) takes a vertical downward shot. That is, it takes a shot of the direction in which the charging plug (220) is descending, recognizes the corresponding coupling part (320) of the charging connector (300) located at the bottom, takes a shot of the corresponding coupling part (320), and transmits the captured information to the control unit.

전술한 바와 같이 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 전기차 자동충전 장치를 이용한 충전절차는 아래와 같다.As described above, the charging procedure using an electric vehicle automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
충전할 전기차를 주차 후, 해당 전기차에 적합한 충전커넥터(300)를 수령한다.After parking the electric vehicle to be charged, receive a charging connector (300) suitable for the electric vehicle.
사용자가 충전커넥터(300)의 충전단자(310)를 전기차의 충전구에 결합한 후, 식별부(330)를 휴대단말기를 통해 인식하여 정해진 어플리케이션을 실행한다.After the user connects the charging terminal (310) of the charging connector (300) to the charging port of the electric vehicle, the user recognizes the identification unit (330) through a mobile terminal and executes a designated application.
어플리케이션을 통해 충전정보를 확인 후 충전요청을 하면, 제어부는 충전 요청이 수신된 충전커넥터(300)를 특정하여 그 위치를 감지하고, 감지된 위치정보를 기초로 세로이송유닛(112) 및 본체(200)를 이송시켜 충전될 전기차 상부에 본체(200)를 위치시킨다.When a charging request is made after checking the charging information through the application, the control unit identifies the charging connector (300) where the charging request is received, detects its location, and, based on the detected location information, moves the vertical transport unit (112) and the main body (200) to position the main body (200) on top of the electric vehicle to be charged.
촬영유닛(230)은 연직하방에 위치한 충전커넥터(300)의 대응결합부(320)를 촬영하고, 실시간으로 촬영된 정보를 통해 세로이송유닛(112) 및 본체(200)를 미세 조종하여 충전플러그(220)의 자성결합부(222)가 대응결합부(320)의 연직상부에 위치하도록 한다.The photographing unit (230) photographs the corresponding coupling part (320) of the charging connector (300) located vertically downward, and uses the photographed information in real time to finely control the vertical transport unit (112) and the main body (200) so that the magnetic coupling part (222) of the charging plug (220) is located vertically upward of the corresponding coupling part (320).
승강유닛(210)이 하부로 연장되며 충전플러그(220)가 하강하고, 자성결합부(222)와 대응결합부(320)가 자기력을 통해 서로 부착된다. 자성결합부(222)와 대응결합부(320)가 부착된 상태에서 충전기(20)로부터 전기가 인가되어 전기차의 충전이 수행된다.The lifting unit (210) extends downwards, the charging plug (220) descends, and the magnetic coupling part (222) and the corresponding coupling part (320) are attached to each other through magnetic force. With the magnetic coupling part (222) and the corresponding coupling part (320) attached, electricity is applied from the charger (20) to charge the electric vehicle.
전기차의 충전이 완료되면 승강유닛(210)이 짧아지며 충전플러그(220)가 상승하여 대응결합부(320)로부터 분리되고, 세로이송유닛(112) 및 본체(200)의 이동을 통해 다음 충전대상의 위치로 본체(200)가 이동한다.When charging of the electric vehicle is completed, the lifting unit (210) shortens and the charging plug (220) rises to separate from the corresponding coupling part (320), and the vertical transport unit (112) and the main body (200) move to the location of the next charging target.
