Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of road infrastructure, and in particular relates to a road surface structure for wireless charging of new energy vehicles and its usage method, which has advantages such as clean power generation, efficient charging and land saving. Background Technology
[0002] The consumption and emissions of transportation energy are factors influencing climate change, making the promotion of transportation electrification an important development direction. Currently, while the number of new energy vehicles in China is continuously increasing, the development of charging infrastructure is relatively lagging. Most existing charging and battery swapping stations are independent, centralized facilities, which are large in size, have low charging efficiency, and cannot adequately meet the public's charging needs. Furthermore, the energy consumption of additional functions designed to improve road service levels, such as nighttime guidance and lighting, and winter snow melting, is relatively high. Therefore, considering both environmental needs and the efficient use of transportation energy, exploring a road structure that utilizes clean energy generation to enable wireless charging of new energy vehicles and power auxiliary facilities can effectively solve these problems.
[0003] Chinese patent CN114182596A discloses a concrete pavement structure system capable of converting and storing energy. This system includes: a self-generating device for providing electrical energy; and a pavement structure layer comprising, from top to bottom, an upper layer, a functional layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer. The functional layer consists of an energy storage layer and an energy conversion layer located above the energy storage layer. The energy storage layer is electrically connected to the self-generating device and stores the electrical energy provided by the device. The energy conversion layer is connected to the energy storage layer and converts the electrical energy provided by the storage layer into heat energy, which is then conducted to the upper layer. This application converts solar or wind energy into electrical energy and stores it in concrete batteries. When the pavement freezes, the electrical energy can be converted into heat energy and transferred to the upper layer, achieving road de-icing and snow removal. Furthermore, it can wirelessly charge vehicles on the road via a wireless transmission module, improving the utilization rate of the pavement structure. However, this patent application involves significant modifications to the pavement structure and requires the installation of both a solar energy receiving device and a wind energy conversion device, resulting in poor compatibility with existing pavement structures.

A conductive mesh is embedded in the asphalt concrete layer, which is arranged in the form of a 0.6m×0.6m grid with a total grid width of 2.4m-3.0m.
[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the energy storage layer includes a second battery, a second inverter, an overcurrent and overvoltage protector, and a second control switch;
[0029] The second batteries are arranged at intervals along the driving direction. The second inverters are arranged vertically at intervals below the second batteries and at intervals from the bottom of the second batteries along the driving direction. The overcurrent and overvoltage protectors are arranged vertically at intervals below the second batteries and at intervals from the second inverters along the driving direction.

[0038] In the present invention, the photovoltaic power generation pavement is a component of the driving lane pavement, and the piezoelectric charging pavement is the emergency lane or extended lane pavement on the right side of the driving lane pavement. The regions using the present invention can select the number of lanes, combination form and additional functions of the two pavements according to traffic demand, economic level, climate conditions, etc.
[0039] When the driving lane uses a combination of photovoltaic power generation pavement and ordinary asphalt pavement, the ordinary asphalt pavement serves as the fast lane closest to the center line, and the photovoltaic power generation pavement serves as the slow lane to its right.
[0040] The present invention further provides a method for using a road surface structure for wireless charging of new energy vehicles, comprising the following steps:
[0041] Step 1: The photovoltaic power generation road surface uses solar cells to generate electricity. The electrical energy converted from solar energy is transmitted and directly stored in the first and second batteries.
[0042] Step 2: When night falls, the microprocessor senses that the light intensity is insufficient and closes the first control switch. The DC power stored in the first battery is converted into AC power by the first inverter to power traffic markings, signs or streetlights made of embedded LED lights.
[0043] Step 3: When the road surface temperature is below 0℃ in winter, the microprocessor senses the low temperature and closes the first control switch. Current is transmitted through the cable to the wear layer to heat it up and melt the ice and snow.
[0044] Step four: When a new energy vehicle equipped with conductive tires drives to a piezoelectric charging surface, the second control switch senses that the surface is pressed to a set load and automatically closes. When the owner needs to charge, the vehicle charging switch inside the new energy vehicle needs to be closed. The DC power stored in the second battery is converted into AC power by the second inverter. The current is transmitted to the conductive mesh through the cable. With the help of the conductivity of the surface layer and the conductive tires, charging is achieved during driving.
[0045] Step 5: If the current or voltage in the circuit becomes too high due to special circumstances, the overcurrent and overvoltage protector will be activated, the circuit will be disconnected, and charging will be suspended.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the microprocessor controls the input and output of power by closing or opening the first control switch and the second control switch according to the application scenario.
[0047] The road can only supply power to a new energy vehicle when it travels on a piezoelectric charging surface and the second control switch and the vehicle's charging switch are closed simultaneously.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the new energy vehicle charged using the present invention employs conductive tires, and a control switch for charging while driving is installed inside the vehicle.
[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows: A photovoltaic power generation road surface is used to generate electricity from solar energy. A small portion of the electrical energy is directly stored in the first battery. After being converted from direct current to alternating current by the first inverter, it is used for winter ice melting, luminous road markings, and street lighting. Most of the electrical energy is stored in the second battery via cables for charging new energy vehicles. When a new energy vehicle equipped with conductive tires drives on the piezoelectric charging road surface, the second control switch closes when pressed to a set load. The driver then closes the vehicle's charging switch. The stored electricity in the second battery is converted from direct current to alternating current by the second inverter, and then transmitted to the surface layer via embedded cables. With the help of the conductive mesh embedded in the surface layer and the conductive tires of the vehicle, the electricity is further transmitted to the vehicle's interior, achieving wireless charging during driving. If, due to special circumstances, the current or voltage in the circuit becomes too high, the overcurrent and overvoltage protector activates, the circuit is disconnected, and charging is suspended.
[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0051] 1.

[0052] 2. Integrating clean power generation and wireless charging, energy-saving and environmentally friendly: The road structure combination design adopted in this invention utilizes a protective layer to improve the light transmittance of the power generation module, significantly improving the utilization rate and power generation efficiency of solar energy, and weakening the environmental impact of non-clean energy power generation; it also has a toughening effect, protecting solar cells and extending the service life of the road surface; the piezoelectric charging road surface material used in this invention is epoxy asphalt concrete modified with nano-graphite, which has good pressure sensitivity and fatigue resistance. When a car drives on the charging road surface, the resistance of the road surface where the wheel tracks are located is significantly reduced, improving the battery conversion rate and reducing the power loss during the charging process;
[0053] 3. The charging method is efficient and fast, and people-oriented: This invention is based on solving the problems of congestion, queuing and low convenience caused by centralized charging pile power supply. It designs a road structure combination that can realize wireless charging during driving, which intelligently and efficiently meets the needs of new transportation functions.
[0054] 4. Significantly saves land and has high economic benefits: This invention addresses the shortcomings of independent centralized charging and battery swapping stations, such as large land area and low charging efficiency. It transforms existing road land into a new type of road asset that combines transportation and power supply for new energy vehicles, saving land for charging infrastructure construction and significantly improving economic benefits.
[0055] 5. Diverse additional functions and smarter operation: The electricity generated by the photovoltaic power generation road surface used in this invention is sensed by a microprocessor based on light intensity and road surface temperature. At night, it can control the illumination of signs, markings, signs and roadside lights composed of embedded LED lights; in winter, it can monitor the road surface temperature and melt ice and snow in time.

Detailed Implementation
[0063] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0064] Example 1
[0065] This embodiment is applicable to areas with a large number of new energy vehicles and high traffic volume: the total number of lanes is sixteen lanes in both directions, of which the photovoltaic power generation pavement serves as the driving lane, adopting a two-way twelve-lane design with a lane width of 3.75 meters and a design speed of 120 km / h; the piezoelectric charging pavement serves as the extended lane on the right side of the driving lane, adopting a two-way four-lane design with a lane width of 3.2 meters and a design speed of 80 km / h.
[0066] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a photovoltaic power generation road surface according to the present invention, including: a wear layer 1, a protective layer 2, a power generation layer 3, and a first base layer 4.
[0067] In practical application, the grooved reinforced concrete structure of the first base course 4 is poured on-site. To ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity of the pavement structure, the total thickness of the first base course 4 is 380mm. After the curing period, a grooved transparent olefin-toughened polystyrene resin layer with a thickness of 15mm is poured on top, with tempered glass accounting for 15% of the total mass. After the relevant components of the power generation layer 3 are installed in the groove, a 15mm plate-shaped transparent olefin-toughened polystyrene resin layer is poured on top, with tempered glass accounting for 20% of the total mass. After it is completely dry, a 40mm thick wearing course 1 is laid on top.
[0068] Specifically, during on-site formwork casting, a channel was reserved for cable 10.
[0069] In this embodiment, the wear layer 1 is composed of aggregate made of quartz sand and a polyester film. The aggregate is distributed inside and on the surface of the film, and the thickness is 40 mm. On the one hand, the quartz sand is high-purity transparent quartz particles, which can ensure the light transmittance of the road structure; on the other hand, the presence of particles inside and on the surface of the wear layer can increase the friction coefficient of the road surface, improve the safety factor, and meet the needs of vehicle driving.
[0070] In this embodiment, the protective layer 2 is primarily made of transparent olefin-toughened polystyrene resin, which has three main functions: first, its light transmittance improves the light transmittance of the power generation module, thereby increasing the power generation capacity of the power generation layer 3; second, its elasticity prevents damage to the core power generation module when the power generation layer 3 is subjected to pressure from the upper part and the sidewalls of the groove due to vehicle loads acting on the road surface structure; and third, its waterproofness isolates moisture that may seep into the power generation module from the road surface or roadbed, preventing short circuits or permanent damage to electronic components due to water corrosion. Therefore, the protective layer 2 needs to cover the entire area of the groove, including the bottom surface and the inner sidewalls. After it is completely dry, the power generation layer 3 is installed to complete the sealing. During sealing, the top surface and the sidewalls of the groove, as well as the protective layer 2 and the first base layer 4 and the power generation layer 3, are bonded and fixed with a high-transmittance adhesive to ensure a tight bond.
[0071] In this embodiment, the power generation layer 3 includes solar cells 31, a first battery 32, a first inverter 33, embedded LED lights 34, a microprocessor 35, and a first control switch 36. The solar cells 31 are 2.00m × 2.00m × 0.05m thin-film batteries, spaced 8m apart along the driving direction. The first battery 32 has a capacity of 12V 400AH and dimensions of 0.50m × 0.24m × 0.22m, vertically spaced 0.2m below the solar cells 31 and 0.4m apart along the driving direction. The first inverter 33 has dimensions of 0.25m × 0.18m × 0.08m, vertically spaced 0.2m below the solar cells 31 and 0.4m apart along the driving direction. The following components are installed with a spacing of 0.4m: Embedded LED lights 34 with a rated power of 15W, 15 lights per group, with a spacing of 0.4m between lights in each group along the driving direction and a spacing of 9m between adjacent groups; Microprocessor 35 is circular with a radius of 0.05m and a thickness of 0.02m, vertically spaced 0.2m below solar cells 31, and horizontally spaced 0.8m from the first inverter 33; First control switch 36 measures 0.16m × 0.08m × 0.10m, vertically spaced 0.2m below solar cells 31, and horizontally spaced 1.0m from the first inverter 33 along the driving direction. During actual installation, cables 10 are used to connect the components in the following order: solar cells 31, first battery 32, first inverter 33, microprocessor 35, and first control switch 36.
[0072] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a piezoelectric charging pavement in this embodiment, including: surface layer 5, conductive layer 6, energy storage layer 7, waterproof adhesive layer 8, and second base layer 9.
[0073] In practical applications, a stepped, trough-shaped reinforced concrete structure for the second base course 9 is poured on-site. To ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity, the total thickness of the second base course 9 is 300mm. After the curing period, a waterproof bonding layer 8, 20mm thick, is evenly laid on the entire inner surface of the stepped trough. After the rubber asphalt has completely dried, the relevant components of the energy storage layer 7 are fixed, pre-drilled channels are made, and cables are laid. A 10mm thick olefin-toughened polystyrene resin board is then cast on top. After the resin board has completely cured, a conductive layer 6 with a total thickness of 70mm is added, and finally, a surface layer 5 with a thickness of 50mm is laid on-site.
[0074] In this embodiment, the surface layer 5 is made of epoxy asphalt concrete modified with 5.5% by mass of vapor-grown tubular highly graphitized carbon nanofibers, with a thickness of 50 mm. The modifier raw material is dolomitic limestone, which ensures that it has excellent self-healing ability and high electrical conductivity.
[0075] In this embodiment, the conductive layer 6 is an asphalt concrete layer modified with 4% carbon fiber and 10% flake graphite by mass, with a total thickness of 70mm. During construction, the positions of the ducts are reserved first and the cables are laid. On-site, a 40mm layer of modified asphalt concrete is laid and a conductive mesh 61 with a total width of 3.0m and a grid pattern of 0.6m × 0.6m is embedded. Then, another 30mm layer of modified asphalt concrete is laid.
[0076] In this embodiment, the energy storage layer 7 includes a second battery 71, a second inverter 72, an overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73, and a second control switch 74. The second battery 71 has a technical parameter of 12V·200AH and dimensions of 0.80m × 0.56m × 0.28m, and is installed every 10.0m along the driving direction. The second inverter 72 has dimensions of 0.25m × 0.18m × 0.08m, and is vertically spaced 0.2m below the second battery 71, and 0.4m away from the bottom of the second battery 71 along the driving direction. The overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73 has dimensions of 0.38m × 0.26m × 0.08m. The overvoltage adjustable range is 230V-300V, and the overcurrent adjustable range is 1A-63A. It is vertically spaced 0.2m below the second battery 71 and 0.4m away from the second inverter 72 along the driving direction. The dimensions of the second control switch 74 are 0.18m×0.06m×0.06m. It is vertically spaced 0.2m below the second battery 71 and 0.4m away from the second inverter 72 along the driving direction. It is horizontally spaced 0.5m away from the overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73.
[0077] The working principle of the power supply mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5As shown, solar cell 31 captures solar energy, converts it into electrical energy, and then transmits and stores it in first battery 32 and second battery 71. At night, microprocessor 35 detects insufficient light intensity and closes first control switch 36. The DC power stored in first battery 32 is converted into AC power by first inverter 33, supplying power to traffic markings, signs, billboards, or streetlights 11 composed of embedded LED lights 34. When the road surface temperature is below 0°C in winter, microprocessor 35 detects the low temperature and closes first control switch 36. Current is transmitted through cables to the wear layer 1 for heating, melting ice and snow. When a new energy vehicle equipped with conductive tires travels on a piezoelectric charging surface, the second control switch 74 senses that the surface is under pressure to a set load and automatically closes. When the owner needs to charge, the vehicle's internal charging switch is closed. The DC power stored in the second battery 71 is converted into AC power by the second inverter 72, and the current is transmitted to the conductive mesh 61 via a cable. Charging is achieved during driving thanks to the conductivity of the surface layer 5 and the conductive tires. If, due to special circumstances, the current or voltage in the circuit becomes excessive, the overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73 activates, the circuit is disconnected, and charging is suspended.
[0078] Example 2
[0079] This embodiment is applicable to areas with a moderate number of new energy vehicles but high traffic volume: the total number of lanes is fourteen lanes in both directions.

[0091] The piezoelectric charging road surface in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes: a surface layer 5, a conductive layer 6, a charge storage layer 7, a waterproof adhesive layer 8, and a second base layer 9. Unlike Implementation Example 1, the constituent materials and thicknesses of some structures have changed.
[0092] In practical application, the stepped groove-shaped cement concrete structure of the second base layer 9 is poured on-site. To ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity of the pavement structure, the total thickness of the second base layer 9 is 240mm. After the curing period, the waterproof bonding layer 8 is evenly laid on the entire inner surface of the stepped groove, with a thickness of 10mm. After the rubber asphalt has completely dried, the relevant components of the energy storage layer 7 are fixed, the channels are reserved and the cables are laid, and a 10mm thick olefin-toughened polystyrene resin board is cast on top. After the resin board has completely cured, a conductive layer 6 with a total thickness of 60mm is added, and finally the surface layer 5 with a thickness of 40mm is laid on-site.
[0093] In this embodiment, the surface layer 5 is epoxy asphalt concrete with a mass ratio of 4.0% of vapor-grown tubular highly graphitized carbon nanofibers as a modifier, and the paving thickness is 40mm.
[0094] In this embodiment, the conductive layer 6 is an asphalt concrete layer modified with 3.5% carbon fiber and 8% flake graphite by mass, with a total thickness of 60mm. During construction, the positions of the ducts are first reserved and the cables are laid. Then, a 30mm layer of modified asphalt concrete is laid on site, and a conductive mesh 61 with a total width of 2.4m and a grid pattern of 0.6m × 0.6m is embedded. Finally, another 30mm layer of modified asphalt concrete is laid.
[0095] The energy storage layer 7 in this embodiment includes a second battery 71, a second inverter 72, an overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73, and a second control switch 74. The second battery 71 has the following specifications: 12V·200AH, dimensions of 0.80m × 0.56m × 0.28m, and is installed every 15.0m along the driving direction. The second inverter 72 has dimensions of 0.25m × 0.18m × 0.08m, and is vertically spaced 0.1m below the second battery 71, with a distance of 0.3m from the bottom of the second battery 71 along the driving direction. The overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73 has dimensions of 0.38m × 0.26m × 0.08m. The overvoltage adjustable range is 230V-300V, and the overcurrent adjustable range is 1A-63A.

It is horizontally spaced 0.4m away from the overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73.
[0096] The working principle of the power supply mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5As shown, solar cell 31 captures solar energy, converts it into electrical energy, and then transmits and stores it in first battery 32 and second battery 71. At night, microprocessor 35 detects insufficient light intensity and closes first control switch 36. The DC power stored in first battery 32 is converted into AC power by first inverter 33, supplying power to traffic markings, signs, billboards, or streetlights 11 composed of embedded LED lights 34. When the road surface temperature is below 0°C in winter, microprocessor 35 detects the low temperature and closes first control switch 36. Current is transmitted through cables to the wear layer 1 for heating, melting ice and snow. When a new energy vehicle equipped with conductive tires travels on a piezoelectric charging surface, the second control switch 74 senses that the surface is under pressure to a set load and automatically closes. When the owner needs to charge, the vehicle's internal charging switch is closed. The DC power stored in the second battery 71 is converted into AC power by the second inverter 72, and the current is transmitted to the conductive mesh 61 via a cable. Charging is achieved during driving thanks to the conductivity of the surface layer 5 and the conductive tires. If, due to special circumstances, the current or voltage in the circuit becomes excessive, the overcurrent and overvoltage protector 73 activates, the circuit is disconnected, and charging is suspended.
[0097] Example 4
[0098] This embodiment is applicable to areas with a small number of new energy vehicles and low traffic volume: the total number of lanes is six lanes in both directions. Among them, the fast lane near the center line uses ordinary asphalt concrete as the paving material, with two lanes in both directions, a lane width of 3.75 meters, and a design speed of 60 km / h; the photovoltaic power generation pavement serves as the slow lane, with two lanes in both directions, a lane width of 3.50 meters, and a design speed of 40 km / h; the piezoelectric charging pavement serves as the extended lane on the right side of the driving lane, with two lanes in both directions, a lane width of 2.8 meters, and a design speed of 30 km / h.
[0099] Example 4 differs slightly from Example 3 only in the modifier content, paving thickness, implementation method, and paving thickness of the second base layer 9 in the main structural layer of the photovoltaic power generation pavement. The technical parameters and spatial positions of the components in the power generation layer 3, conductive layer 6, and energy storage layer 7 are the same, and will not be described again.
[0100] For the photovoltaic power generation pavement of this embodiment, in practical application, a grooved cement concrete structure of the first base layer 4 is poured on-site.
