Description

[0001] The invention relates to a cantilever device for decentralized energy and data supply according to the preamble of claim 1 and an associated method according to claim 11.

[0002] A wide variety of digital charging stations are known to exist in public spaces. In particular, numerous charging stations for all types of electric vehicles and various designs are provided, primarily for electric cars. Users can recharge their vehicle batteries there free of charge or for a fee. The payment systems typically use online computing units that manage the payment process, for example, via the user's mobile device.

[0003] From EP 3 375 658 A2, a charging station system for electric vehicles is known, comprising at least one housing and a plurality of main components. The housing and the main components are standardized in such a way that the main components can be arranged modularly within the housing. Also known from DE 10 2014 112 799 A1 is a modularly constructed charging station for electric vehicles, comprising a power connection for connecting to a power grid, a connection means for connecting the charging station to the electric vehicle, and a control device between the power connection and the connection means for converting a grid current into a charging current for the vehicle. Furthermore, the charging station comprises at least one rectangular functional module that can be accommodated inside a housing and is designed to fulfill another function of the charging station.Other comparable charging stations are known from WO2013 / 051583A1 or W02012 / 59802A1. Standards for the required sockets and plugs have already been established, such as DIN EN 62196 and IEC 62196, respectively.

[0004] The problem with these charging stations, however, remains their highly specific design, limited to a single type of use and based on a certain standardization of sizes. This makes it difficult for providers and operators of these stations to reliably predict the specific local demand at each location, the users there, and their usage patterns in order to ensure economically viable operation.

[0005] Thus, the task remains to provide a decentralized device and a procedure for its operation that facilitates planning and economic use, and addresses a broad user base and user needs.

[0006] The device according to the invention provides a decentralized city column for decentralized energy and data supply, which is designed as a cantilever device according to claim 1. Furthermore, a method according to the invention for operating a cantilever device according to claim 11 is presented.

[0007] The core of the invention lies in the fact that the cantilever device contains internal power supplies with different voltages, an internet-enabled display for user interaction, and one or more mounting points and corresponding interfaces to which modules for a wide variety of functions and services from various providers can be attached. This allows the cantilever devices to be operated as multifunctional smart city pillars, which can be equipped and / or operated differently depending on their location and potentially changing needs over time.

[0008] The term "interface" here refers to any type of form-fitting connection unit used to establish a power and / or data-conducting connection, in particular connections based on the plug-socket principle.

[0009] Furthermore, it is possible for several providers to jointly approach users of the charging station with different services, providing these services directly at the station or indirectly via the station at a remote location. Here, "service" is generally understood to mean any type of transaction with an end customer, such as the sale of goods of any kind, skilled trades services, entertainment, banking transactions, consulting services, or combinations thereof.

[0010] In this context, low voltage is understood to mean a range of 5 to 30 volts, medium voltage a range of 180 to 250 volts, and high voltage a range of 280 to 420 volts.

[0011] Furthermore, specifications of geometric positions always refer to an orientation of the device according to the invention in its intended installation position and alignment. The term "cantilever" or "cantilever device" in this context generally refers to a column, stele, or support structure that has a vertical extension but need not be strictly vertically oriented. The column- or stele-like cantilever device can have any cross-section and is not to be understood as restrictive in any way unless expressly stated otherwise.

[0012] A mobile device is defined as any internet-enabled device that a user brings into contact with the cantilevered charging device, specifically smartphones, tablets, and also built-in devices in cars, motorcycles, scooters, and the like. Furthermore, an e-bike is defined as any means of transport that requires medium-voltage charging, including not only e-bikes but also e-scooters, e-rollers, e-kick scooters, and the like. Thus, e-bike is also used here as a synonym for all micromobility devices, which are defined as all means of transport with a speed of up to 25 km / h, excluding any tolerance. Similarly, an electric car is defined here as any vehicle that requires high-voltage charging.

[0013] According to the invention, a cantilever device for energy and data transmission is provided, comprising a support section, a lower foot or mounting section, a head or roof section, and a one- or multi-part interior. This interior can be a column or a column-like structure that allows the attachment of modules.

[0014] The structure incorporates an internet-enabled computer unit, either fully or partially integrated within the interior, and a display mounted on the support section. The display is connected to the computer unit via a data conductor. The interior of the cantilever structure also contains several voltage networks: a low-voltage network, a medium-voltage network, and a high-voltage network. Additionally, mounting or retaining elements are provided, on or within which at least one functional module (also called a function module) can be arranged. These mounting or retaining elements have at least one interface for connecting the functional modules to the cantilever structure via power and / or data conductors. The mounting or retaining elements are specifically designed as connecting webs that project laterally from the support section as support arms.

[0015] In an advantageous embodiment, at least one interface of the at least one holding or receiving element is connected to the low-voltage network, medium-voltage network, and / or high-voltage network. For the purposes of this definition, "interface" refers to any suitable plug connection or part of a socket-plug connection, in particular standardized or normed connection elements for power transmission and / or data transmission, including supplier standards.

[0016] A beneficial improvement is the inclusion of a mobile-readable identification code and / or identification unit on or within the cantilever device, for example, NFC, Bluetooth, or a computer unit that incorporates such a function. This ensures that a service or data transmission is only delivered to the user who is physically present or has been present at the cantilever device.

[0017] In another embodiment, one of the modules is a charging module for mobile devices connected to the low-voltage grid via an interface, a charging module for e-bikes or micromobility vehicles connected to the medium-voltage grid via an interface, and / or a charging module for electric cars connected to the high-voltage grid via an interface. In the case of a module designed as a charging module for a mobile device, it advantageously has a storage and contact surface for a mobile device, ideally a contact surface through which energy transfer is possible, such as inductive energy transfer.One improvement is that the mobile device can be placed in a lockable module during the charging process and locked, with the compartment being secured by an electronic lock that can be opened and closed using a code provided to the user via the display.

[0018] In an embodiment where one of the modules is a charging module for micromobility vehicles and / or a charging module for passenger cars, to or in which a retractable, removable charging cable is connected, it is advantageous if this charging module includes or is adjacent to an electrically activated locking unit on a receiving compartment in which a retractable or unwindable charging cable can be received. Ideally, the locking unit can be electrically controlled via the computer unit and / or the display.

[0019] In one embodiment of the cantilever device, this device, or at least one module, comprises a parking sensor unit and / or a signal receiver for a parking sensor. The term "parking sensor" or "associated signal receiver" refers to any device capable of detecting and processing the presence of a vehicle in a defined parking space. Thus, the cantilever device and a corresponding module can be used to operate adjacent parking areas or securing devices for two-wheeled vehicles, in addition to providing other services and functions.

[0020] The computer unit of the cantilever system is ideally connectable to at least one external server, whereby the operation of the computer unit and / or at least a portion of the processes and data volumes can be managed via the server. The server can also be a group of several servers or computers located externally to the cantilever system.

[0021] In an improved embodiment, one or more modules comprise a housing on all sides, wherein a mounting side is provided which includes the interface for energy and data transmission and mechanical fastening means and via which the load-bearing attachment to the support section of the cantilever device is carried out in the intended attachment to the cantilever device. One improvement lies in the fact that the mounting surface of the module is located on the back of the module, which, in its installed position, faces the supporting section. This design offers the significant advantage that the module's extension in multiple spatial directions is not restricted, thus allowing for a high degree of flexibility regarding possible geometries and structural features of the modules without compromising functionality. For example, a new module inserted to replace an existing one can be made larger or smaller in two spatial directions perpendicular to it, despite the limitations imposed by adjacent modules above and below. Furthermore, it would even be possible to partially or completely cover adjacent modules, provided this does not restrict their usability and function for the user.Thus, the cantilever device could be retrofitted with a compressed air or compressor unit for two-wheelers, which would tower over the other modules due to the large space requirement.

[0022] Furthermore, this self-supporting mounting and fastening option for the modules ensures good heat dissipation via the surface.

[0023] The invention also includes a method for operating the cantilever device as described above. This method comprises at least one module through which a user receives a first service, and wherein targeted data transmission to this user occurs at least intermittently during the receipt of the first service. This data transmission takes place either by displaying information on the screen and / or by transmitting the data to a mobile device of the user on site. The first service is, in particular, the user receiving data via the display, receiving data on a mobile device carried by the user, a charging process for a means of transport, or a parking or stopping process for a means of transport.

[0024] One embodiment of the procedure involves at least one provider storing condition-dependent data packets on the server, in particular data packets that contain or represent offers for a second service to the user. This second service is different from the first service, and its connection to the system is independent of the physical location of the cantilevered device used for energy and data transmission. The providers are the owners or operators of the cantilevered device and / or the owners or operators of the modules. These second services or service groups primarily involve the sale of goods through retailers or restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the cantilever device.

[0025] One improvement to the system is that the data packages are conditional offers for at least one other service, which are issued to the user for a limited time. This means the user can only redeem these offers within a relatively short period of a few hours or even within one hour. This allows a provider to try to encourage the user to redeem an offer, particularly during a charging session at the cantilever device. One of the conditions could be the current weather conditions at the cantilever device. For example, a user recharging a two-wheeler battery in hot weather at midday would be more likely to be offered a chilled drink at a nearby kiosk or beverage store, whereas in winter, when temperatures are below freezing, a hot drink at a restaurant would be the preferred option.In one variant of the procedure, the user can also handle the ordering and payment process directly at the cantilever device, thus speeding up the process without posing a risk to the provider.

[0026] In a further refinement and improvement of the process, the conditional data package consists of an offer for a second service, which is provided to the user by the service provider depending on the service they are using at the charging station. This means that a user charging an e-bike at the charging station will receive a different offer than a user charging a car. In the first case, the offer might be, for example, a product from a bicycle service provider, and in the second case, a destination that can only be used effectively by or for a car, such as a car wash in the local area. Thus, "offer" can also refer to an offer from a different provider.

[0027] As a rule, the user must leave the cantilever device to receive the second service; in particular, the user must leave the line of sight of the cantilever device to receive the second service. An improvement to the process involves sending the user a code or identifier as data upon receiving the first service, and the user can only access the second service after providing this code or identifier. The code or identifier can be in any format. In particular, it can be a provided number, a term, a barcode, or a QR code transmitted to the mobile device or similar device. Finally, it can be advantageous for the code or identifier to be active only for a defined period of time.

[0028] The following figures schematically illustrate, by way of example, the cantilever device according to the invention as a city column and its components. These figures show: Fig. 1 the cantilever device according to the invention in a perspective view, Fig. 2 a section of the support section of the cantilever device, Fig. 3 an alternative embodiment of the cantilever device, Fig. 4 a first exemplary use case of the cantilever device and Fig. 5 a second exemplary use case of the cantilever device.

[0029] The one in Fig. 1 cantilever device shown 1 , hereinafter referred to alternatively as column, has a column-like, elongated base body as a load-bearing section 2 on as well as a foot or fastening section 3 , with which the column 1 on a base area 9can be fixed in place.

[0030] The charging unit 5 has an associated control and operating unit located in one of the segments 22 is housed in this charging station. 5 assigned segment 22 indicates on its front surface 22.1 a small display25 Ideally, this would be a touchscreen display through which all necessary inputs and displays for charging an electric vehicle could be made. An alternative design provides a separate keypad for operator input (not shown).

[0031] In the Fig. 1 shown variant of the cantilever device 1 This is additionally equipped with a parking sensor that is located in the upper segment 21 of the case 20 is housed there. Analogous to the segment's equipment. 22 , also shows the segment assigned to the parking sensor 21 a small display 25Ideally, this is a touchscreen display through which all necessary inputs and displays for the parking process, e.g., of a car, can be made. An alternative embodiment features a separate keypad for operator input (not shown). The cable holder for the associated charging cable is located on the rear of the cantilever device, facing away from the viewer. 1 in the area of ​​the housing 20 arranged. Alternatively, the charging cable can be placed in one of the segments in the housing. 20 It must be arranged in a way that allows it to be inserted and locked.

[0032] The cantilever device is located at the boundary of, for example, one or more parking areas. 8 Positioned for cars so that it is immediately visible to entering drivers.

[0033] The three other side surfaces 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.3 of the headboard 4They feature a removable frame or inlet opening. Furthermore, they include familiar mounting elements to allow at least one advertising banner to be attached to each side inside, and to illuminate these from behind, for which appropriate light sources are provided inside.

[0034] In the Fig. 2 is a section of the load-bearing section 2 the cantilever device 1 schematically represented. The cross-section is shown here as square, but can also be round or polygonal. At largely regular intervals. A are the open ones or the ones with locking plates 29 covered outlet openings 27.1 arranged. At the lowest outlet opening shown. 27.1 are the fixing points 27.2 to identify those that are designed as female threads. In an improved version, the fixing points 27.2only from the rear side 6 of the support section 6 after opening a movable mounting plate 33 accessible. In the embodiment according to the Fig. 2 is this mounting plate 33 door-like, pivoting on a hinge 34 stored and partially opened, so that the interior 16 This mounting plate becomes accessible. 33 It can be locked using a lock (not shown) or suitable fastener. Above the highest retaining or mounting element or connecting web. 6 The example shown here generally eliminates the need for high voltage as an option. This means only the cable of the medium-voltage network is used. 31 and the low-voltage network via the uppermost connecting bridge 6 or the associated outlet opening 27.1 led outwards. The two open outlet openings 27.1 in Fig. 2 correspond to the attachment points of the two connecting bridges 6 for the charging unit 5 , as they are in Fig. 1 is shown.

[0035] Furthermore, in the Fig. 2 the low-voltage network 30 , the medium-voltage network 31 as well as the high-voltage grid 32 to be seen. In the area of ​​the upper connecting bridge. 6 is the branch of a cable from the low-voltage network 30 and the high-voltage grid 32 to recognize those inside the connecting bridge 6 are guided. Generally speaking, for all embodiments, one or more plugs or sockets can also be provided in the area of ​​the outlet opening (not shown). In particular, a separate power plug is provided for each of the three networks. These sockets are covered by the closure plate. 29 When not in use, it is covered and sealed. Furthermore, in Fig. 2. Use the arrow to indicate the location of the interface (not shown in detail). 45 hinted at.

[0036] In the Fig. 3 is an alternative embodiment of the cantilever device 1 depicted, in which all functional modules form independent, fully enclosed components. The base or mounting section 9 stands in or on the ground surface 9 and a medium-voltage network 31 A high-voltage network 32 leads across the ground into the interior of the cantilever device 1 and into the interior of the column-like supporting section 2 The functional elements are connected via connecting bridges. 6 with the support section 2 and, if necessary, connected to at least one of the electrical networks. At the headboard. 4 is on two side surfaces 4.1 , 4.2 Each has a recess into which a light source can be inserted. 36It is inserted. Furthermore, it is located at the top of the headboard. 4 an illuminated display board 7 planned.

[0037] The computer unit 31 is housed in a functional module mounted above the functional module in or on which an internet-enabled display is located. 10 is housed in the module of the computer unit. 31 It extends like a roof over the display 10 and thus provides protection against the elements. Below the display 10 is a functional module for a control panel 25 , including a wallbox 14 Designed for e-bikes, it functions as a medium-voltage charging module. It is the lowest functional module on the same side of the cantilevered device. 1 , there is a Qi charging device 15 , which is designed as a charging module for low voltage.

[0038] On the other side of the cantilever device 1There is a parking sensor at the bottom. 12 , above it a functional module that serves as a security compartment 13 It is arranged for one or more charging cables. The safety compartment 13 Ideally, it is equipped with a motorized lock that can be operated via a control panel or display. 25 It can be accessed. Above the fuse box. 13 The charging unit is located 5 for a car, which is designed as a charging module for high voltage.

[0039] The design of the cantilever device 1 after Fig. Figure 2 shows particularly clearly how the minimal standardization of only the outlet openings can be used. 27.1 , the supporting connecting bridges 6 in the support section 2As well as the provision of the three mains voltages, a maximum degree of freedom is achieved, and a wide variety of functional modules can be provided by different operators if necessary. This also makes it possible to use a cantilever device. 1 to be gradually equipped with functional elements as the need for them can be determined. In this case, two connecting bridges are always required. 6 The functional modules shown are arranged one above the other. This should be understood in a general and non-restrictive sense; more than two connecting webs can be provided on a functional module, which can be arranged side by side and / or one above the other. This depends in particular on the cross-section of the load-bearing section. 2 and depends on the weight of the respective functional module.

[0040] In the Fig. Figure 4 schematically shows a first exemplary use of the cantilever device. 1 displayed. The user50 is located on the cantilever device 1 , which are analogous to the cantilever device 1 the Fig. 1 is structured. The user 50 As a first step, he got his e-bike 37 , which is exemplary for every battery-powered vehicle, with the charging cable 38 and the charging unit 5 connected. Through the charging process of his e-bike 37 at the charging unit 5 and recording the remaining charge level of the e-bike 37 , is located in the integrated computer unit of the charging station 5 The loading time was estimated and sent to the server. 200 via a data line 35 This user data is transmitted. This data is processed via the server. 200 evaluated, whereby the server 200 This is an example of any computer or server unit used for data processing, especially a cloud application. In the server 200At least one database permanently stores two groups of data that influence user behavior in close temporal proximity to the use of the cantilever device. 1 They might have. The first data group comprises the stored services of the providers, whereby these are the service data. 201 This represents the first set of data. The second group of data consists of general influencing factors, such as the current weather and the user's distance. 50 of possible service locations 500 , 501 , 502 Time of day, season, major events, etc. These are the basic parameters. 202 All actions that a user 50 on the cantilever device 1 which are carried out and / or which can be captured there by the functional elements, form the third data group, the user data. 203 . On the server 200These three data groups are continuously optimized and supplemented using suitable algorithms and probabilities.

[0041] The first one from the cantilever device 1 remote possible service location 500 in Fig. Number 4 is a restaurant. A second possible service location. 501 is a retail outlet and a third possible service location 502 is a sales area where several snack and beverage vending machines are available. The vendors connect via the server. 200 and the display 10 with the user 50 They establish contact and, after collecting and evaluating user data, offer suitable services that were selected based on correlation with the service data and framework data.

[0042] The user data can include, in particular, the current charging time, the type of electric vehicle, the parking of a car, or the known usage behavior of the user. 50 generally, if this is attached to the cantilever device 1 could be identified.

[0043] In the usage process shown, according to Fig. The user receives 4 50 from the provider of the first service location 500 at a spatial distance B A limited-time offer for table reservations and immediate meal preparation. The user 50 This could thus avoid unnecessary waiting times or at least significantly reduce them. The provider of the second service location 501 at a spatial distance C submitted via the server 200 and the display 5 the user 50An offer to assemble goods within a period that is shorter than the charging time at the charging station. 5 The offers are located on the server. 200 and a corresponding algorithm is implemented in such a way that the provider is able to determine the service location. 501 , who operates a retail business, for example a user 50 , which involves charging an e-bike on the cantilever device 1 caused the compilation and packaging of only small quantities of goods upon immediate collection, but a user 50 , who is performing a charging process for an e-scooter, does not make an offer because it is highly unlikely that an e-scooter rider would accept such an offer.

[0044] Furthermore, service providers could be located in the immediate vicinity of the cantilever device. 1Make special offers with limited timeframes according to the procedure described here if they are not fully booked at the time of use of the cantilever device, such as a hair salon, a beauty salon or the like.

[0045] In particular, the provider of the third service location may be affected. 502 , which operates consistent vending machines, advertising as purely informational about the type and scope of the vending machine contents to users 50 from e-scooters. Well-known search engines and menu navigation systems that a user... 50 Providing a quick overview of available services is well-known and will not be discussed further here. However, menu navigation also uses the aforementioned algorithms to compile a pre-selection to assist the user. 50 to guide his decision and to expedite his decision for a service.

[0046] Does the user 50Selecting one of these options will appear on the display. 5 a corresponding QR code which the user 50 Capture the data with your smartphone and submit it to the provider at the respective service location. 500 , 501 , 502 can present a code. Alternatively, a number sequence or password can be provided, which must be presented at the service location. This process can be linked to familiar cashless payment methods to reduce the provider's risk of unnecessarily preparing for a requested service and incurring losses that cannot be recovered by the user. 50 is received. The cantilever device 1 in Fig. 4 represents a numerical unit in this context. 39 in the upper segment 21The display is designed as a familiar unit for cashless payments, for example via bank or credit card, and includes corresponding elements. More generally, any number and type of services can be accessed via the display. 5 a user 50 offered. However, the service locations should 500 , 501 and 502 at such a distance to the cantilever device 1 The location and / or the nature of the services should be of such a duration that the interest of a user is satisfied. 50 the services during and / or in close temporal proximity to the use of the cantilever device 1 probably.

[0047] Accepting an offer can be combined with the user... 50 to his mobile device 51 The route is sent directly.

[0048] The server 200captured by the users 50 actions taken and offers of services accepted, and from this can determine the local need for functional modules on the cantilever device 1 narrow down and also provide information on which services are available for which service locations relative to the respective cantilever device 1 primarily of interest to the operators of the functional modules and associated service providers.

[0049] In the Fig. 5 is another exemplary use case of a cantilever device 1 depicted, in which the cantilever device is essentially analogous Fig. 1 is structured, but also according to Fig. It could be 2. As shown, this is equipped with two charging units. 5 equipped for medium voltage, with both charging units 5 are in operation. Inside the housing 20 is in the lowest segment 24 a printer unit 40provided for, which the user 50 A printout (item 41) can be issued after acceptance of a service and, if necessary, completion of the payment process. Of course, this printer unit could also simply be used to issue vouchers or loyalty points.

[0050] In the example shown, according to Fig. 5, the server has 200 from the supplier for the first of the cantilever device 1 remote service location 500 a voucher was issued because the known user 50 Currently, no WiFi is available. According to the algorithm, the failure of the first provider has resulted in priority being given to and a discount on the service of the provider at the second service location. 501 The process was carried out. After the binding acceptance of the offer, printout 41 was automatically generated on the printer unit. 40 triggered by the user 50This can be presented as proof at the second service location. This second provider can then make a seat reservation and an order with the user. 50 to arrange a table seat where charging of the smartphone is also possible. 51 This is possible. Furthermore, he can begin preparing the order immediately, thus reducing the user's waiting time. 50 is reduced.
