Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying power to a number of vehicles via separate electrical outlets.

  In cold regions of the earth, electrical equipment is used to warm the car engine and the interior, which promotes engine start-up and user comfort. Energy costs and management efforts have led to widespread use of parking control. While these controls are designed to reduce energy consumption, they satisfy engine start-up and user comfort constraints. Because of this consumption limitation, a number of algorithms have been devised, from simple timers to modern proportional temperature control (more power is sent when it gets colder).

  Recent parking lot control is a centralized type. Thereby, all loads in the parking lot are switched on or off together by the central contactor. Many unique constraints and restrictions will be imposed by the centralized form. Central contactor control requires substantial installation and maintenance costs, with a typical installation payback period of approximately 5 years or more. Since the lifetime of the mechanical contactor is highly dependent on regular maintenance, additional operating costs are added.

  Many parking lots limit the power consumption for each vehicle, but are not susceptible to unauthorized use because there are no appropriate means in practice. Frequently, because many users abuse beyond the set limit, the main breaker for parking lots will fall, which is inconvenient for all customers. Furthermore, the breakers in the individual parking lot sections will fall due to a temporary short circuit or overload. Because no feedback regarding the presence of power is provided to the user or maintenance personnel, this section may be left without power for many days.

  U.S. Pat. No. 6,057,028, issued May 28, 1996, discloses an apparatus for controlling and monitoring the heating load of an electric vehicle for energy saving purposes. Greater flexibility is achieved by attaching a reprogrammable microcontroller to each outlet box in the parking lot (which controls the two compartments). One novel feature included here is the ability to detect when each load is asserted or removed. This allows the device to delay supplying power to the newly asserted load for some time. By including a device for sensing the current delivered to each load, other aspects of control are added. This makes it possible to effectively limit power consumption for each vehicle, and is useful for local demand power management. Overload or short circuit detection reduces maintenance costs and increases service to the user. These loads can be switched “off” before the associated breaker is tripped. Additional safety is provided as it helps to prevent fires or property damage due to incorrect loads. This device allows for the use of an economical solid state contactor to power an attached load, reducing maintenance costs and increasing reliability.

  Customer feedback is provided by visual or audible devices. In the case of visual feedback, two light emitting diodes (LEDs) are provided, one green in each compartment and the other red. As an example, when the user asserts a load, the presence of power is identified by a quick flashing of the green LED (load within acceptable limits), or the red LED is identified by continuous lighting (overload). The load is rejected). Auditory feedback identifies the tolerance or rejection of loads and the presence of power by different beeps.

  Two-way infrared data communication interfaces with service personnel for communication purposes. Occasionally, general maintenance of necessary parking lots with power tools is performed. If this is promoted, all parking lots will not function with centralized control. On the other hand, all that is required in the present invention is that the individual outlets do not function. Using this data link, the operating mode and restrictions can be easily set and changed. Since this link is bi-directional, operational data can be collected and periodically downloaded as required by the use of the device.

  By providing an interface, the microcontroller program or firmware can be changed and programmed locally. This increases the service life and reduces manufacturing costs. The service life is lengthened by the fact that the energy saving algorithm is kept up to date and customized for specific use. Manufacturing costs are reduced because only one general model should be manufactured. And by reprogramming the device with self-diagnosis and calibration routines, manufacturing costs are further reduced.

  Patent Document 2 by Norberg, issued May 11, 1999, discloses communication from a vehicle-mounted control unit to an outlet control unit, which is connected to a central power source via a power cord and via a distribution network between outlets. The signal communicated to the central unit is used. This communication enables alarm functions in disconnection, use permission, and billing. The outlet control unit can also detect the state of charge. The systems are connected in a series arrangement.

  U.S. Pat. No. 6,057,051 issued July 30, 1985, discloses a hybrid battery charging system and parking meter for vehicles, which allows for billing using a credit card system.

  U.S. Pat. No. 6,057,028 issued on Sep. 2, 2003, discloses a battery charging system for vehicles, which allows for billing using an optical reader.

  U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,096, issued Oct. 8, 1996, discloses a hybrid battery charging system and parking meter for vehicles, which allows for charging using a radio transmitter system.

US Pat. No. 5,521,838 US Pat. No. 5,903,064 U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,418 US Pat. No. 6,614,214 US Pat. No. 5,563,491

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a system according to the present invention, partially drawn from Fig. 7 of the above-mentioned patent by the inventor. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the outlet control unit of FIG. 1, taken from FIG. 1 of the above-mentioned patent by the inventor. It is the schematic of one Embodiment of the vehicle control unit of FIG. Figure 2 is a schematic view of a second more complex embodiment of the vehicle control unit of Figure 1;

One embodiment of the invention is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Like reference characters in the drawings indicate corresponding parts in different drawings.
The following description is taken from the above-mentioned patent by the inventor and is incorporated herein by reference to the full disclosure of this patent and is used to describe the contents of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the entire system. The entire system includes a main power source (69) for supplying power to a plurality of outlets (71). Most of the outlets (71) are shown only schematically, but only one is labeled (72) and shown as an exploded isometric view. Electric power is supplied via the wiring (73). Wiring (73) is also shown only schematically and does not distinguish between hot, neutral, or ground wires.

  The main power supply basically includes only a main breaker, and optionally includes a plurality of auxiliary breakers for a plurality of different circuits, depending on the number of outlets supplied.

  As a conventional practice, outlets are provided as a pair of outlets, with each pair placed in a separate receptacle. The receptacle is attached to a room around the supplied parking lot. One outlet is described in detail and includes a metal box or receptacle (74) attached to a suitable support (eg, wooden pillar, fence, etc.). The receptacle (74) has an open front that can accommodate a rectangular extension box module (75). The extension box module (75) supports a standard duplex outlet (81) and a cover plate (82) in order. The extension box module is secured in place by a conventional screw arrangement (85). This screw arrangement (85) is connected to a screw hole provided on the receptacle (75). The standard outlet (81) is fixed to the receptacle (74) through a hole provided by the extension box module (75) in a standard arrangement with screws (83). The standard cover plate (82) is fixed by screws (85) and / or (84). Providing a suitable gasket or other sealing arrangement can prevent moisture penetration, which is not shown because it is known to those skilled in the art.

  The extension box module (75) includes a control unit (80), which allows independent control of each outlet of the attached duplex outlet (81). A conventional electrical terminal arrangement is provided on the back side of the extension box module (75) so that it can be inserted into the receptacle (74), resulting in a power supply connection, protection and storage. The electric wires are arranged in the opening front surface of the extension box module (75), thereby enabling standard connection of the standard duplex outlet (81).

  Power control for each outlet is affected by the control unit (80) contained within the extension box module (75) and does not require any central control capability. In this way, the system can be mounted on existing receptacles and wiring, simply inserting the extension box module (75) between the conventional outlet (81) cover plate (82) and the supply receptacle (74). It is realized with. Thereby, a relatively inexpensive installation is possible. In addition, individual programming of the outlet is provided.

In addition, on the front side surface of the extension box module, first LEDs (76) (79) are shown, which are green indicating normal or proper operation of the power supply after load adaptation. The second LEDs (77) (78) are red and are used to indicate unacceptable loads as described below. Additional ports (20) (21) are provided for two-way communication and are described again below.

  The power cord (70A) is connected to the battery (70D) and other components (70E) (70F) in the vehicle by connecting power from the outlet (81) to the vehicle control unit (70B) in the vehicle (70C). Supply power.

  A general block diagram of the outlet control unit is shown in FIG. The “hot” power supply (1) supplies all the power necessary for normal operation of the device. Communication and reprogramming characteristics are provided by the infrared communication and reprogramming interface (2). The system operating clock for the microcontroller (5) is provided by the CPU clock circuit (3). The microcontroller (5) controls both outlets of the dual outlet receptacle via the outlet interface (4) (6). Each outlet interface consists of a solid contactor (7) (10), a standard outlet (8) (11) to which an electrical load may be attached, and a current sensing device (9) (12), Are the same. The temperature / wind cooling measurement device (13) allows the microcontroller (5) to measure atmospheric temperature or wind cooling. Both of these circuits provide new and particularly useful functions for energy saving purposes.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the vehicle control unit (70B) of FIG. This is a combination of a communication load (30) and a switch (31), and is connected to the conductor of the cable (70A) to provide a load modulation mechanism for data communication to the outlet control unit of FIG. . The module (35) includes a microcontroller (33), a data storage device (34), and a real time clock (36) and provides information for communication to the outlet control unit. The data storage device holds information about the load (s), which is defined by vehicle parts (70D) (70E) (70F) programmed by the vehicle user or operator through the microprocessor. It is what is done. The information can include:
1. Vehicle type identification (gasoline, diesel, hybrid, etc.)
2. 2. Energy vs. temperature requirements How many days and how many hours will this vehicle be used or will be used? What should the size of the load be? Any other information that may be important to the load

  Any number of vehicle loads (70D) (70E) and (70F) are mounted in parallel. This implementation saves money by not including a switch for each attached load.

The AC power line (70A) from the extension cord enters the circuit from the left hand side. The microcontroller (33), the data storage device (34), and the real time clock unit (35) control the switch (31) of the communication load (30). When this switch is closed, the communication load (30) is added to the load (70D) (70E) (70F) on the AC line. When this switch is opened, no communication load is added to the load on the AC line. By opening and closing this switch, the load size displayed on the AC line is modulated by the size of the communication load. This signal is read by the microcontroller (5) by the outlet control unit of FIG.

  This information communicated to the microcontroller (5) is used to control the supply time and the allowable current supplied to the vehicle to accept the expected load. Therefore, it can be fully understood that the gasoline engine and the gasoline engine battery have different temperature and power characteristics from the diesel engine and the hybrid engine. It is well known that diesel engines need to maintain the engine above freezing temperature by engine heating in order to start reliably, while gasoline engines can withstand lower temperatures before difficulties occur. . Hybrid engines and batteries for hybrid engines require different characteristics of the power source to charge the battery of power. In addition, the electric motor power source vehicle has further different characteristics. All of these requirements can be stored in the microcontroller (5), and the characteristics are determined along the cable (70A) by the switch (31) that connects and disconnects the load (30). 35).

  Turning now to FIG. 3, this arrangement is similar to that of FIG. 2 with the switches (37), (38) and (39) added to the load. The microcontroller (35) and the microcontroller Controlled by supply of CAN BUS interface connected to (35). The CAN BUS interface allows the microcontroller (35) to communicate with the vehicle control system to exchange information with the vehicle control system or obtain data from the vehicle control system using the CAN BUS conventional communication protocol. .

  The microcontroller (35) is connected to an AC power line (70A) supplied from the outlet control unit. In this way, the microcontroller can sense when the AC power is on and off. Accordingly, the outlet control unit can communicate with this microcontroller by turning on and off the AC power source that forms the low baud rate bit stream. The power of the microcontroller (35) can come from an AC power source and / or a local battery.

  The addition of a CAN BUS interface allows the microcontroller to communicate with the vehicle onboard computer and sensors. With the addition of switches (37), (28) and (39) for controlling N different loads, various electrical systems on the vehicle can be controlled. Using information from the CAN BUS interface, various loads may or may not be included depending on their individual power requirements and available power. In this way, power is supplied only to electrical subsystems that require power, increasing potential power savings. Thus, it should be appreciated that the power available in the system for individual outlets will vary depending on the number of vehicles connected at any given time and the total power required. Thus, a high performance outlet control unit can manage this available power in an optimal manner. At the same time, the power available to an individual vehicle will fluctuate and a high performance vehicle control unit can be managed in an optimal way by supplying this power to the load that needs it most. .

  Communication between the two units of available power and required power as a whole allows the system to perform optimal power savings and optimal power management.

  The vehicle described in FIG. 4 includes a GPS receiving system (40) in communication with a microcontroller (35). The GPS system generates a record in the microcontroller (35), which shows information such as where and how far the vehicle has traveled during the plug-in interval. This information can be communicated via the vehicle control unit and the outlet control unit and has the role of updating the records at the central location in connection with maintenance or schedule adjustment, delivery route planning, unauthorized use monitoring, etc. Can do. Therefore, the real time clock (34) in the vehicle control unit and the time clock (3) in the outlet control unit can be set without a user operation using the GPS satellite system. Both the current time and time zone can be updated without the user's operation using the GPS satellite system as input.

  Since the invention described above in this specification is susceptible to various modifications, many obvious different embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims. All contents contained in should be construed as illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting in meaning.
