Description

Electric vehicle charging system and method for preventing electric shock accidents

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging system and method for charging an electric vehicle. More specifically, the invention addresses the limitations of conventional electric vehicle chargers, which generally pose a risk of electric shock when connecting a charger with wet hands or moisture on the power plug when connecting power for various electronic devices or charging a battery. Since no notification or guidance regarding such electric shock risk is provided during the charging of an electric vehicle, the invention is configured to detect moisture on the charging connector or power plug due to rain or snow and cut off the charging current, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle. This invention aims to solve the problems of conventional electric vehicle chargers by configuring the system to prevent the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle.

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging system and method for preventing electric shock accidents, configured to solve the problem of conventional electric vehicle chargers that had limitations in being unable to prevent electric shock accidents caused by connecting or disconnecting the charger in a wet state as described above. This is achieved by detecting moisture in the charging connector or power plug due to rain or snow and cutting off the charging current, and simultaneously notifying the user of the risk of electric shock accidents in advance through a display on the vehicle or a display and voice provided on the charging connector handle before connecting the charger even after the rain or snow has stopped. This allows for the prevention of the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle, thereby effectively preventing unnecessary loss of life and property damage caused by safety accidents during electric vehicle charging.

[0003]

[0004] Recently, as the adoption of electric vehicles increases, the demand for charging facilities for electric vehicles is also rising. Accordingly, various studies are actively being conducted on electric vehicle charging systems and methods to enable faster and more convenient charging of electric vehicles.

[0005] Accordingly, as presented in, for example, "Electric vehicle rapid charger equipped with cooling and cleaning air conditioning" in Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2469211 and "Electric vehicle charger and electric vehicle charging method" in Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2181995, various devices and methods have been presented in the past to perform charging of electric vehicles more quickly and efficiently, but the contents of the prior art as described above had the following limitations.

[0006] More specifically, generally, there is a risk of electric shock if a charger is connected with wet hands or water on the power plug when connecting various electronic devices or batteries. However, since electric vehicle chargers are often installed outdoors as well as indoors due to their characteristics, users are at risk of being exposed to electric shock accidents.

[0007] In other words, if a charger is connected to or disconnected from an electric vehicle while moisture remains in the charger—for example, during snow or rain, or immediately after it has stopped—an electric shock accident may occur due to the moisture. However, most of the conventional electric vehicle charging systems and methods described above do not include a function to detect moisture during charging and provide a warning about the risk of electric shock. Consequently, there is a limitation in that it is impossible to prevent electric shock accidents in advance, as users may proceed with charging without being aware of the risk of electric shock.

[0008] Therefore, in order to resolve the limitations of the conventional electric vehicle charging systems and methods described above, it is desirable to present a new configuration of an electric vehicle charging system and method that, for example, provides a notification regarding the risk of electric shock due to moisture during charging of the electric vehicle, and simultaneously detects moisture in the charging connector or power plug due to rain or snow and cuts off the charging current, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle; however, a device or method that satisfies all such requirements has not yet been presented.

[0009]

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art as described above. Accordingly, the objective of the present invention is to provide an electric vehicle charging system and method for preventing electric shock accidents, configured to detect moisture in the charging connector or power plug due to rain or snow and cut off the charging current, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle. This is achieved by solving the limitations of prior electric vehicle chargers, which generally pose a risk of electric shock when connecting power to various electronic products or charging a battery while the power is connected with wet hands or water on the power plug, and thus cannot prevent electric shock accidents caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger in a wet state, such as during snow or rain.

[0011] Furthermore, another objective of the present invention is to provide an electric vehicle charging system and method for preventing electric shock accidents, which is configured to solve the problems of conventional electric vehicle chargers that had limitations in being unable to prevent electric shock accidents caused by connecting or disconnecting the charger in a wet state as described above. This is achieved by detecting moisture in the charging connector or power plug due to rain or snow and cutting off the charging current, and simultaneously notifying the user of the risk of electric shock accidents in advance through a display on the vehicle or a display and voice provided on the charging connector handle before connecting the charger even after the rain or snow has stopped. This allows for the prevention of the risk of electric shock caused by moisture when connecting or disconnecting the charger to the electric vehicle, thereby effectively preventing unnecessary loss of life and property damage caused by safety accidents during electric vehicle charging.
