Description
Driving device charging system for smart cities and its operating method
[0001] The present invention relates to a driving device charging system for a smart city, and more specifically, to a technology for providing safety services necessary for charging a driving device using a spraying means or a blocking means.
[0002]
[0003] <About Smart Cities Based on Government Policy>
[0004] South Korea is striving to popularize electric vehicles for low-carbon and environmentally friendly purposes and is building smart cities utilizing electric vehicles. However, government policies are not gaining momentum due to defects in electric vehicles and a lack of charging infrastructure. Therefore, a business model that aligns with government policies is needed.
[0005] About Electric Vehicle Firefighting Technology
[0006] Electric vehicles are equipped with batteries mounted underneath the vehicle and various sensors to monitor battery operation. However, even with conventional battery monitoring using sensors, sudden, abnormal thermal runaway can occur during the battery charging process, posing a risk of fire.
[0007] Electric vehicle fires are more difficult to extinguish than fires in internal combustion engine vehicles due to the thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery. Therefore, simple water tanks, as described in Korean Patent No. 10-2407326, have been used to extinguish electric vehicle fires. Since electric vehicles have batteries mounted underneath, conventional water tanks can be used to extinguish electric vehicle fires.
[0008] However, in the past, when an electric vehicle fire broke out in an underground parking lot, it was difficult to immediately install a temporary water tank, and because toxic smoke was generated due to combustion inside, the fire was extinguished to a certain extent in the underground parking lot, and the electric vehicle was salvaged and the remaining fire was extinguished in a water tank installed above ground.
[0009] In this way, inefficient firefighting is being carried out due to the multi-step process, such as lifting the electric vehicle to the ground after the first fire is extinguished and installing a water tank to extinguish the second fire.
[0010] About Water and Electricity
[0011] Traditionally, moisture or water has the function of reducing the electrical resistance of the skin, so care has been taken to ensure that no water exists in the area where the current flows.
[0012] These days, electric vehicles are often charged outdoors on rainy days, so electric vehicles and charging facilities are waterproofed and have safety devices to prevent discharge, which can reduce the risk of electric shock.
[0013] However, most people have a ingrained perception of electric shock caused by water and electricity, so it has been difficult to develop electric vehicles or electrical products that utilize water.
[0014] <About charging facilities using wired cables>
[0015] In the past, there was a problem in that the charging device required installation space to install the charging device at the front end of the charging area.
[0016] In the past, since the charging device was formed at the front end of the charging area, there was a problem that there was a risk of the user falling due to the cable of the charging device, and there was also a risk of the joint between the charging terminals being damaged due to the weight of the cable pressing down.
[0017] Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can solve these comprehensive problems.
[0018] <About wireless charging facilities>
[0019] Recently, a charging device that wirelessly supplies power to the floor of the charging area has been developed, potentially solving several problems associated with wired charging. As technology advances, wireless charging facilities are expected to expand in the future.
[0020] To further develop these wireless charging facilities, safety and convenience features must be explored and developed together.
[0021] For example, in the past, car wash facilities were installed around charging facilities for electric vehicles, but due to the prejudice against electric shock between water and electricity charging, there was no technology to build them as an integrated system.
[0022] Therefore, it is necessary to abandon these prejudices and develop technologies that take into account safety and convenience that can match the advantages of wireless charging.
[0023] <About the bulkhead of the charging facility>
[0024] Bulkheads have various functions and effects depending on the technology. Examples include: In homes, bulkheads provide insulation, keeping people warm and comfortable. In apartments, bulkheads block noise and effectively address external noise issues in low-rise apartments.
[0025] However, charging facilities lack barriers between charging areas. This presents a problem: if an electric vehicle catches fire in a charging area, a chain reaction of fires can occur in adjacent vehicles.
[0026] Installing bulkheads in charging facilities will help prevent the aforementioned chain of fires and facilitate the implementation of car wash services. Furthermore, incorporating features from adjacent technologies is expected to yield new benefits. For example, incorporating insulation could lead to improved charging efficiency in winter.
[0027] Therefore, there is a need to develop technology for bulkheads that take into account various and complex effects in charging facilities.
[0028] <Regarding the charging facility reservation service>
[0029] It is predicted that services that reserve electric vehicle charging through a charging schedule, such as Korean Patent No. 10-2534326, will expand in the future.
[0030] However, in the future, there is a possibility that users who have not made a reservation will not follow the charging schedule and will charge their electric vehicles without permission, and there is also a possibility that users who made a reservation in good faith will be harmed. Therefore, there is a need for technology that can predict and resolve problems that can be predicted in the future in advance.
[0031] In addition to measures to maintain the charging schedule in the future, there is a need for technologies that can create additional synergistic effects, such as technologies that can prevent safety accidents during the charging process or resolve abnormal fires.
[0032]
[0033] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a driving device charging system and its operating method for a smart city that provides a safety service using a spraying means or a blocking means.
[0034]
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above-described problem, a driving device charging system for a smart city comprises: a charging means (130) for providing charging of a driving device located in a charging area; a spray means (150) for spraying a spray into the charging area; and a control means (190) for controlling the operation of the charging means and the spray means, wherein the spray means is utilized for the functions of firefighting and car washing to provide a safety service using the spray; and the charging means is characterized in that a wired charger is formed on the upper part of the charging area in consideration of the space utilization of the charging area, and a wired part connected to the wired charger is provided to charge the driving device to prevent snagging by the wired part, and the wired charger is formed on the upper part of the charging area to prevent contact with the spray.

[0037] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a driving device charging system for a smart city includes a charging means (130) that provides charging of a driving device located in a charging area; a spray means (150) that sprays a spray into the charging area; a control means (190) that controls the operations of the charging means and the spray means; a forming body (180) that forms the charging area and the spray means, and a blocking means (120) that opens and closes an entrance to the charging area, wherein the spraying means is utilized for the functions of firefighting and car washing to provide a safety service using the spray, and the blocking means is characterized in that it is combined with the forming body and utilized for the function of confining the spray in the event of a fire.
[0038] The present invention can satisfy the needs of users of driving devices by providing a safety service using a spraying means or a blocking means, and can provide a premium charging service that takes safety into consideration through a business model that applies both the purposes of car washing and firefighting, and can contribute to building a smart city that complies with government policy.

[0052]
[0053] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings and the contents described in the attached drawings, but the present invention is not limited or restricted by the embodiments.
[0054] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a driving device charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The driving device charging system (100) is a system that provides charging of the driving device. Here, the driving device is a device capable of driving, and is a device that drives by utilizing stored energy or energy generated during the driving process.
[0055] A propulsion system is a device that is powered by internal combustion engine fuel, electricity, hydrogen fuel, or other energy sources, or a hybrid system that uses two types of energy to propel the vehicle. Examples of propulsion systems include automobiles, electric vehicles, and scooters. Other examples include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like drones or ground-based unmanned robots, all powered by energy. A propulsion system may be equipped with autonomous driving capabilities.
[0056] A driving device charging system (10) includes a charging means (130) and a control means (190). The charging means (130) provides charging of a driving device located in a charging area, and the control means (190) controls the operation of the charging means (130). The charging area refers to an area where a driving device is located for charging.
[0057] The charging means (130) is a means for charging the energy of the driving device. In the present invention, the charging means (130) will be described as an example of a means for charging electricity.
[0058] The driving device charging system (10) further includes a spraying means (150). The spraying means (150) sprays a spray into the charging area. The spray may be water or a fire extinguishing agent, and may be a fluid that can be used for car washing or firefighting, but is not limited thereto.
[0059] Traditionally, charging facilities and car washes were separated due to the perceived risk of electric shock between water and electricity. However, with the recent proliferation of technologies to prevent electric shock in electric vehicles, there is a need for a method that allows charging and car washes to be used together, without separation.
[0060] In the past, when a battery thermal runaway occurred during the process of charging the driving device, the primary fire was extinguished, the driving device was lifted to a safe location, placed in an artificially created tank, and the tank was filled with water to extinguish the fire, making the fire-extinguishing procedure very complex and inconvenient.
[0061] Some people thought that if they installed a means to spray water in the charging area, they would be able to easily extinguish a fire in the event of a fire in the driving device, but realistically or from a business perspective, it is difficult to apply a structure that can spray water only for firefighting purposes.
[0062] The present invention takes these problems into consideration and installs a spraying means (150) in a charging area, but has a function that can achieve not only the purpose of firefighting but also the purpose of car washing.
[0063] The spray means (150) may be formed on the bottom of the charging area and used for washing the lower part of the driving device, and may be used for extinguishing a battery formed on the lower part of the driving device in the event of a fire. The spray means (150) may be formed on the side or upper part of the charging area and used for washing or extinguishing a fire.
[0064] The driving device charging system (10) may further include a discharge means (160) and a storage means (170). The discharge means (160) opens and closes a discharge path for the sprayed substance, and is provided with a valve for opening and closing, for example.
[0065] The storage means (170) stores the spray used for cleaning the driving device or charging area. The control means (190) can control the spray means (140) in the event of a fire to use the spray stored in the storage means (170).
[0066] The present invention can further enhance the utility value of a spraying means and provide a business model that can generate profits by utilizing the spray for both car washing and fire fighting purposes and reusing the spray used for car washing for fire fighting purposes.
[0067] FIG. 2 is an example of a driving device charging system including a bar-shaped blocking means, and FIG. 3 is an example of a driving device charging system including a surface-shaped blocking means, wherein the driving device charging system (100) includes a blocking means (120).
[0068] The original function of the barrier (120) is to open and close the access road for control and management purposes, as in the past. The barrier (120) of the present invention can be used for various and complex functions in addition to its original function in the past.
[0069] The blocking means (120) can be manufactured in the form of a bar as shown in FIG. 2, and can be used to provide a time-series safety service and a charging schedule-based safety service as shown in FIG. 4 described below.
[0070] The blocking means (120) can be manufactured in the form of a face as shown in FIG. 3 and can be used as a function for creating a tank.
[0071] The driving device charging system (100) may further include a forming body (180). The forming body (180) may provide a function for forming a bulkhead. The forming body (180) may provide a function for forming a charging area and an injection means (140).
[0072] The forming body (180) can be formed with a side in the shape of the letter 'ㄷ' and can be combined with a blocking means (120) to form a tank in the shape of the letter 'ㅁ'.
[0073] The forming body (180) can provide safety services for fire prevention and chain fire prevention of the driving device, and can also provide charging services for improved charging efficiency through insulation. For example, the charging efficiency of the driving device or charging means (130) tends to decrease when the temperature drops, such as in winter, but the insulating effect of the forming body (180) improves charging efficiency.
[0074] The exterior of an apartment complex has a noise-blocking wall to block road noise. The formation (180) of the present invention can also be used as a noise-blocking wall.
[0075] In the past, the charging means (130) was installed on a bulkhead located in front of the charging area, which may reduce the space utilization of the charging area, cause the user to trip and fall due to the horizontally sagging wire, and cause the joint between the driving device and the charging terminal of the charging means (130) to be damaged due to the weight of the wire pressing downward.
[0076] To solve this problem, the charging means (130) may be formed with a wired charger on the upper part of the charging area, taking into account the space utilization of the charging area as illustrated in Fig. 2. The wired charger refers to a main body that provides charging of the driving device through a wire.
[0077] The charging means (130) can provide a function of preventing the driving device from being caught by the wired part by providing charging of the driving device through a wired part connected to the wired charger, and in addition, the wired charger can be formed at the upper part of the charging area to provide a function of preventing contact with the sprayed substance.
[0078] As illustrated in Fig. 3, the charging means (130) may be formed with a wireless charger at the bottom of the charging area, taking into account safety services using sprayed water. The wireless charger refers to a main body that provides wireless charging of the driving device.
[0079] The wireless charger may have a waterproofing section formed on the upper portion for waterproofing. The present invention provides a waterproofing section formed on the upper portion of the wireless charger, enabling cleaning services in addition to fire safety services.
[0080] The driving device charging system (100) may further include a blowing suction means (140). The blowing suction means (140) may selectively perform blowing and suction operations. The control means (190) may determine the operation of the blowing suction means in response to the purpose of using the sprayed substance. For example, the control means (190) may determine the blowing operation when cleaning the driving device or charging area, and determine the suction operation when a fire occurs.
[0081] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a driving device charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a control means (190) provides a time-series safety service using a blocking means (120). When a driving device is located in a charging area, the control means (190) controls the blocking means (120) to close the access road to the charging area, controls the charging means (130) to provide charging of the driving device, and when charging of the driving device is completed, controls the blocking means (120) to open the access road.
[0082] The control means (190) closes the access road if reservation information for the N+1th driving device exists in the charging schedule within the set charging validity time from the time when the charging of the Nth driving device is completed, thereby also providing a safety service based on the charging schedule using the blocking means (120).
[0083] The barrier (120) can remove any obstacles to charging the driving device and provide a safety service based on a charging schedule. Furthermore, as illustrated in Fig. 4, the barrier (120) can be utilized to close the access road in the event of a fire, thereby confining the spray to the charging area.
[0084] The driving device charging system (100) may further include a recognition means (110). The recognition means (110) may be manufactured as an integral part of the control means (190), and may be a sensor formed adjacent to the charging area to detect the entry or exit of the driving device, typically a camera. The control means (190) may utilize the recognition means (110) to control the operation of the blocking means (120).
[0085] The driving device charging system (100) of the present invention is designed for a smart city. A smart city is a city that solves problems arising from urban life, such as traffic, environmental, housing, and facility inefficiencies, thereby enabling citizens to enjoy convenient and comfortable living.
[0086] The present invention can provide an environment for a smart city by resolving the inefficiency problem of charging facilities using a blocking means (120) and a spraying means (150). Furthermore, the present invention can provide an environment for a smart city by utilizing a control means (190) that applies cutting-edge information and communication technology (ICT) to the blocking means (120) and the spraying means (150).
[0087] South Korea is striving to popularize electric vehicles for low-carbon and environmentally friendly purposes and is building smart cities utilizing electric vehicles. However, government policies are not gaining momentum due to defects in electric vehicles and a lack of charging infrastructure. Therefore, a business model that aligns with government policies is needed.
[0088] The present invention can provide a premium charging service that takes safety into consideration through a business model that combines the purposes of car washing and firefighting, and can contribute to building a smart city that complies with government policy.
[0089] FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a driving device control management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The driving device control management system (200) is a system that controls and manages parking and charging of the driving device. In the present invention, the driving device charging system (100) of FIG. 1 and the control management system (200) of FIG. 5 are mutually applicable.
[0090] The driving device control management system (200) includes a charging means (230), a storage means (210), and a control means (290). The charging means (230) provides charging of the driving device located in the charging area, and the control means (190) controls the operation of the charging means (130).
[0091] A storage means (210) is formed at a set location and stores a smart key. The smart key may be manufactured in the form of a key or card, may be equipped with a function for wireless communication with the driving device, and may be used for starting or opening / closing the driving device, but is not limited thereto.
[0092] FIG. 6 is an example showing a user terminal and an administrator terminal communicating with the driving device control management system of FIG. 5, wherein the control means (290) receives user input information through a user terminal (300) associated with the driving device or a storage means (210) equipped with an input function, and controls the operation of the charging means (230) based on the user input information.
[0093] A user can apply for a charging reservation by utilizing the input function of a user terminal (300) or a storage means, and the control means (290) can control the operation of the charging means (230) in response to a charging schedule to which the charging reservation is applied.
[0094] A user terminal (300) is a terminal used by a user, typically a smartphone. Furthermore, the user terminal (300) may be a terminal equipped with a driving device, and the driving device may be equipped with an autonomous driving function.
[0095] A charging schedule refers to the schedule for a driving device to receive charging services in response to a reserved charging order. The present invention can provide surrogate services, such as surrogate charging or surrogate parking, by a manager to provide continuous charging without delay in response to the charging schedule.
[0096] The control means (290) can transmit information about the charging schedule to the manager terminal (400), and the manager can perform proxy charging of the driving device using the manager terminal (400).
[0097] The present invention can output information regarding a charging schedule through a management terminal (300) or a storage means (210). The control means (290) can be equipped with a function for calculating fees for charging and parking of a driving device, taking online services into account, and can be provided with a function for calculating fees to the storage means (210) for offline services.
[0098] The storage device (210) stores the smart key and provides a proxy service for charging and parking. By providing the proxy service, the storage device (210) can prevent delays in the charging schedule.
[0099] In the past, since no proxy service was provided, when charging was completed, the user had to separate the driving device and the charging means (230) directly. In addition, since the current user sometimes returned to the charging area late while doing other things, a problem arose where the next user had to wait.
[0100] Traditionally, punitive fees have been applied based on the time of charging completion to allow users to return quickly, but it is questionable whether this is a service that benefits users and cannot be considered a fundamental solution.
[0101] The present invention provides a proxy service by an administrator to fundamentally eliminate such time delay and solve the problem of punitive fees, and in order to establish a proxy service, a storage means (210) must be configured.
[0102] The control means (290) can manage the charging of the driving device in response to a charging schedule. The charging schedule can be configured with a sequential waiting method for providing a charging order of the driving device in response to a sequential waiting order, and a surplus power charging reservation method for providing a charging reservation of the driving device when surplus power is generated.
[0103] The present invention can efficiently realize a business model based on a charging schedule through a proxy service and storage means (210), and in particular, can provide a charging reservation for a driving device when surplus power is generated.
[0104] In the future, as technology advances, it will be possible to automatically connect to a charging terminal using a robot arm, and autonomous driving will allow the driving device to move to a charging area on its own, and autonomous driving will allow it to move to a parking area.
[0105] The storage means (210) can provide a proxy service by having a function for entering user authentication corresponding to the vehicle number and a function for entering administrator authentication corresponding to the handover of the driving device.
[0106] User authentication can be a user-defined password or biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint or iris scan. Administrator authentication can be similar to user authentication, or it can be based on a master key.
[0107] The storage device (210) can display the location information of the driving device when the input information and authentication information match, thereby providing a proxy service for charging and parking the driving device. The storage device (210), user terminal (300), or administrator terminal (400) can output information on the location of the driving device and output information on the current status of the driving device.
[0108] Figure 7 is an example showing an area equipped with storage means and blocking means, and the area can be divided into a temporary parking area, a charging area, a public parking area, and a priority parking area.
[0109] Temporary parking areas are for the temporary parking of vehicles waiting for charging or for vehicles that have completed charging. Charging areas are for charging vehicles. Public parking areas provide parking for vehicles regardless of priority or non-priority users. Priority parking areas are for priority users' vehicles only.
[0110] Priority recipients may mean transportation for residents residing adjacent to the area or workers performing duties related to the area, and non-priority recipients may mean transportation for customers receiving services from buildings located adjacent to the area.
[0111] Priority target may refer to a driving device registered as the first priority for each generation, and non-priority target may refer to a driving device registered as the second priority or higher, not the first priority for each generation.
[0112] The storage means (210) can be divided into a first storage means (210-1) formed in a priority parking area and a second storage means (210-2) formed in a temporary parking area to provide a proxy service for charging and parking.
[0113] The present invention can provide a proxy service corresponding to a priority target for parking in a priority parking area and a non-priority target for parking in a public parking area separated by a predetermined distance from a temporary parking area.
[0114] During the day, users can voluntarily charge their driving devices by reservation or in real time. If the user does not show up when charging is complete, the driving device can be temporarily parked in a temporary parking area by the administrator. The storage device (210) or control device (290) can use a proxy service to calculate parking fees based on the time the fully charged driving device is parked in the temporary parking area.
[0115] The charging device (230) can provide proxy charging of driving devices parked in priority parking areas during the set surplus power time. At night, the manager can drive the driving devices parked in priority parking areas in the order of reservation, charge the driving devices, then return the devices to the priority parking area for proxy parking, and drive the next driving device in line to continuously provide charging services.
[0116] The present invention can provide an effective charging service for actual residents by charging the driving device of a priority target during a set surplus power time, can prevent disputes between actual residents, and can improve power usage efficiency.
[0117] The present invention offers the advantage of efficiently providing charging services to non-residents during daytime hours, rather than during surplus power hours, by providing charging for the driving devices of priority users during designated surplus power hours. Furthermore, since the present invention requires a manager for agency services, it can also provide job benefits for hiring such managers.
[0118] The driving device control management system (200) may further include a blocking means (220). The blocking means (220) is formed at the entrance / exit of the temporary parking area and is used to control and manage driving devices waiting to be charged in the temporary parking area and driving devices that have completed charging, and may provide a function to prevent non-payment of fees.
[0119] The charging means (230) may not be equipped with a payment means for payment of fees by a blocking means (220) having a function for preventing non-payment of fees, and the present invention may contribute to the miniaturization of the charging means (230) by not having a payment means in the charging means (230).
[0120] The blocking means (220) may be composed of a first blocking means (220-1) installed at the entrance and exit of the overall area and a second blocking means (220-2) installed at the entrance and exit of the temporary parking area, and more may be added as needed.
[0121] The present invention can be applied to apartments, commercial buildings, and public facilities, and can be applied to parking lots where commercial buildings and single-family homes are combined, and can be utilized as a solution to address the lack of charging infrastructure and poor service.
[0122] FIG. 8 illustrates a blocking means according to a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the blocking means (220) includes a frame (710), a rotating part (720), a providing part (730), a transmitting part (740), and a display part (750).
[0123] The frame (710) may be referred to as a barrier bar or barrier rod. The pivoting member (720) rotates the frame (710) to open and close the vehicle entry and exit area. The pivoting member (720) may be provided with a function such as a hinge.
[0124] The providing unit (730) provides driving force for driving the rotating unit (720). Referring to FIGS. 12 to 14 described below, the providing unit (730) may be a power generation device (22e) such as a motor, may be a wire (46), may be a means for providing force that generates the rotating force of the rotating unit (720), but is not limited thereto.
[0125] The transmission unit (740) transmits the rotational force of the rotation unit (720) to the display unit (750), and is typically a gear connecting axles or a roller that changes the direction of force.
[0126] The blocking means (220) may further include a light-emitting unit (760). A conventional light-emitting unit (760) may provide information on blocking vehicle entry and exit with red light, and may provide information on opening vehicle entry and exit with blue light. Typically, the light is an LED.
[0127] The light-emitting unit (760) of the present invention can provide a single-color lighting function. The display unit (750) displays information using the rotational force of the rotational unit (720). For example, the display unit (750) is composed of red and blue films, and when the rotational force is applied to the forward rotation, the light of the light-emitting unit (760) is transmitted through the blue film to provide first information, and when the rotational force is applied to the reverse rotation, the light of the light-emitting unit (760) is transmitted through the red film to provide second information.
[0128] The first information is information that allows entry and exit for vehicles. The second information may be information for motorcycles or other vehicles, or information that denies entry and exit for vehicles that have not paid a toll.
[0129] The display unit (750) can convert the color of the light-emitting unit (760) using the rotational force of the rotation unit (720) and display information in the converted color.
[0130] The present invention has an additional function of being able to change the color of a light-emitting element (760) using a film-type display unit (750), suppressing the effect of glare generated from the light-emitting unit (760) by using a film, and has a synergistic effect of protecting the driver's eyes.
[0131] FIG. 9 illustrates a vehicle barrier according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the barrier means (220) can change color up and down as shown in FIG. 8, can change color left and right as shown in FIG. 9, and can also change color in a diagonal direction.
[0132] The display unit (750) can generate a gradation effect in response to the rotation speed of the rotation unit (720). Conventionally, it is a monotonous pattern that changes the color of the LED instantaneously. However, the present invention can stimulate the user's emotions by generating a gradation effect such as an effect of gradually changing the color, and can increase the driver's attention by generating an effect of focusing the driver's gaze toward the frame (710, barrier bar or barrier pole, etc.). In addition, the increased driver's attention can help prevent safety accidents in the vehicle entry / exit area.
[0133] Fig. 10 illustrates a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention, wherein a display unit (750) is formed on the lower side of a frame (710) to display separate information. The display unit (750) can be rolled by a transmission unit (740) and may include a limiting member (751) that limits the degree of rolling.
[0134] The display unit (750) can hide information exposed when the entry / exit area is opened by a rotational force of forward rotation to prevent contact with a vehicle, and can reveal the hidden information again when the entry / exit area is closed by a rotational force of reverse rotation.
[0135] The limiting member (751) can be manufactured in the shape of a rod and can limit the degree of winding. In addition, the limiting member (751) also has the function of limiting the malfunction or excessive operation of the providing member (730) or the transmitting member (740), thereby having the effect of preventing damage to the components. In addition, the conventional display unit is not wound but is attached to the frame (710) in the form of cloth, so that it flutters when the wind blows and information cannot be displayed properly, but the display unit (750) of the present invention is also provided with the function of suppressing the fluttering phenomenon by the limiting member (751).
[0136] In other words, the limiting member (751) has a complex functional action and synergistic effect, such as the function of suppressing the fluttering phenomenon, the function of limiting the degree of winding, and the function of preventing damage to the part.
[0137] Fig. 11 is a block diagram showing the operational relationship between the rotation means and the display unit. The display unit (750) has a function of providing two pieces of information in the rotation direction as in Figs. 8 and 9, and has a function of hiding or displaying information as in Fig. 10.
[0138] Figures 12 to 14 illustrate examples of conventional vehicle barriers. Figures 12 to 14 relate to drawings described in Korean Patent No. 10-2453452, and the vehicle means (220) of the present invention can apply the function of the display unit (750) to the structure of the vehicle barrier described in Korean Patent No. 10-2453452. For a detailed description of Figures 12 to 14, refer to the contents described in Korean Patent No. 10-2407326.
[0139] Referring again to FIG. 1, the charging means (130) connects to the driving device to provide charging, and the control means (190) controls the operation of the blocking means (120) using the recognition information of the recognition means (110).
[0140] The recognition means (110) may include the function of a presence detection means, may generate presence information, and is typically an ultrasonic sensor, and detects whether a driving device is located in a charging area.
[0141] The control means (190) can open the access road when charging of the driving device is permitted using the recognition information of the recognition means (110), close the access road when the driving device is located in the charging area using the presence information of the recognition means (110), and open the access road when disconnection information indicating that the connection with the driving device has been released is received from the charging means (130).
[0142] The driving device charging system (100) or the driving device control management system (200) may further include an output means (not shown), and the output means is typically a display, and may output setting information set to one of reserved driving device charging and constant driving device charging.
[0143] The control means (190) is set to charge the driving device scheduled for the current time, and when it receives recognition information from the recognition means, it can compare the setting information with the recognition information to determine whether the driving device is registered in the charging schedule. If the control means (190) determines that the driving device is registered in the charging schedule, it can open the closed access road using the blocking means (120), and if it determines that the driving device is not registered in the charging schedule, it can use the output means to indicate that charging is not possible.
[0144] The output means can output guidance information including the time during which continuous charging is possible if the driving device is capable of continuous charging. In this case, the control means (190) can open the access road if continuous charging is possible, and can close the access road if an unreserved driving device is located in the charging area.
[0145] Conventional charging devices have only provided continuous charging services without installing separate barriers or barrier poles on the access road. However, the charging device (500) of the present invention is equipped with a barrier means (120) and a control means (190) for controlling the charging order of vehicles in a time-series manner, thereby resolving the problems associated with conventional continuous charging and, in addition, providing the synergistic effect of preventing safety accidents occurring during the charging process.
[0146] The present invention has the purpose of providing a service for car washing in addition to fire fighting in a charging area, and can maximize the utilization of the equipment by being used for the purpose of car washing together with fire fighting, and can reduce the cost burden of the equipment.
[0147] In addition, the present invention provides a car wash service in addition to fire fighting in a charging area, so that a car wash service can be provided simultaneously during the process of receiving a service for charging a driving device, thereby maximizing the utilization of the time spent receiving the service.
[0148] In the future, it is predicted that services that allow electric vehicle charging to be reserved through a charging schedule will expand. However, there is a possibility that users who have not made a reservation may not follow the charging schedule and may charge their electric vehicles without permission, and there are also cases where users who made a reservation in good faith may suffer damages. Therefore, technology that can predict and resolve problems that may occur in the future in advance is needed.
[0149] In addition to measures to maintain the charging schedule, technologies that can create additional synergistic effects, such as technologies that can prevent safety accidents during the charging process or resolve abnormal fires, will also be needed in the future.
[0150] Typically, barriers, such as barrier bars, are used for the purpose of controlling and managing access by opening and closing access roads. The present invention utilizes barriers as a countermeasure to address potential problems.
[0151] More specifically, the present invention can remove elements that interfere with the charging of a driving device while charging the driving device by using a blocking means, and can provide a service for safe charging by opening the blocking means only when charging is completed.
[0152] In addition, the present invention can provide a service for charging reservation, such as guaranteeing use by a reserved user by closing the blocking means if there is reservation information within a set time, and guaranteeing free use by a non-reserved user by opening the blocking means if there is no reservation information within a set time.
[0153] Therefore, the present invention provides both safe charging and charging reservation services, thereby preventing safety accidents, suppressing disputes arising from charging usage, and ultimately satisfying user needs. Furthermore, the present invention utilizes a barrier mechanism to prevent safety accidents during the car wash process, thereby enabling the stable provision of a comprehensive service for charging and car washing.
[0154] The present invention can increase the space utilization of the charging area by forming a wired charger on the upper part of the charging area, and the increased space utilization can further increase the number of charging areas. In addition, the present invention can prevent catching by the wired part by the organic connection relationship between the spraying means, the wired charger, and the wired part between the charging areas, and thereby can prevent safety accidents caused by catching by the wired part. In addition, the present invention has a function of preventing contact between the wired charger and the sprayed substance by the organic connection relationship between the components, such as the positions of the components, and thereby can suppress damage to the wired charger by the sprayed substance.
[0155] The present invention utilizes the blocking means not only for its opening and closing function but also for the function of a tank to contain the sprayed material, thereby reducing the cost of equipment construction through its multi-purpose functions. More specifically, the present invention utilizes the blocking means not only for its opening and closing function but also for the functions of a charging reservation and tank through the organic connection between components such as a wireless charging body with a waterproof function and a forming body coupled to the blocking means, thereby maximizing the utility of the blocking means and reducing the cost of equipment construction.
[0156] The present invention can be applied and utilized in charging facilities for electric vehicles.
