DEVICE FOR RECHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES

D E S C R I P C I O N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device for recharging electric vehicles, materialized in a recharging terminal type SAVE (Specific Power System of the Electric Vehicle) specially designed to be coupled to the crosier of public lighting street lamps in urban areas.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that uses as a support the staff of the lighting lamps of urban roads, so that it is close to parking spaces and sidewalks, facilitating accessibility for both the connection of the device to the vehicle as for the operation by the user.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a device that uses the streetlights as a physical support, thus avoiding the need to install new posts on the sidewalks, with the advantage of not overloading the sidewalks with elements and not having to carry out civil works with the consequent costs and inconvenience.

It is also the object of the invention that the device takes advantage of the infrastructure of public lighting pipes for its operation, thus avoiding having to deploy new pipelines with the consequent complications of work in urban environment (pass or circulation cuts, lifting of pavements, realization of ditches, etc.).

In short, it is about offering a charging terminal for electric vehicles that is easy to install, economical, with little visual impact on the environment, accessible, safe and easy to use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is well known, the infrastructure for the recharging of electric vehicles includes the installations for parking of single-family homes (private homes), the facilities for parking or collective parking in buildings or real estate groups under horizontal ownership (communities of owners), facilities for permanent public car parks or parking lots (parkings) and facilities on public domain roads (municipal urban roads and service areas of state or regional roads).

In each case the problem is different, as well as the regulatory requirements and, therefore, there are particular commercial solutions for each environment.

In particular, the problem of providing infrastructure for the recharging of electric vehicles to urban roads of a population, lies in the difficulties and high cost of conducting pipelines and power lines along the streets and install on the sidewalks stations of SAVE type recharge, which require civil works of basement, occupy space to the detriment of pedestrians and generate discomfort to road traffic and pedestrians.

In order to solve the aforementioned problems, a power supply device for electric vehicles is proposed in the present Utility Model, which uses the lighting lamps as a support and the channeling that joins them to the wiring.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for the recharging of electric vehicles of the invention is constituted from two cameras coupled together around a section of the staff of a street lamp, as a wrapper thereof.

Both chambers are watertight and consist of an outer casing and an inner lid, the chambers being made with galvanized steel sheet, stainless steel, aluminum or plastic material, painted with special paint for exterior and covered internally with a thermal insulating material. Inside these rooms are the basic elements of a recharge terminal or SAVE and other special ones.

For the coupling to the lamp post the device has a metallic structure in the manner of a double blind that embraces the staff. On this structure the two chambers that hide the metallic support structure and form a set are fixed.

In parallel, the fixing system of the chambers to the supporting metal structure incorporates a hinge mechanism on one side and a locking pin system protected by a lower lock on the other side. Thus, it is achieved that the assembly does not have any screws accessible from the outside and that both cameras can swing apart to allow access to the hidden covers that give access to the elements housed inside.

The cables or electrical hose that constitute the connection to the recharging system leave the front chamber through a hole protected by a cable gland that provides airtightness. The passage to the interior of the staff to reach the canalization to the corresponding frame can be materialized in two ways. The first through a hole in the staff if possible. The second one through an extension of the casing of the device itself that reaches the opening of the street lamp and covers it by replacing the cover of the latter. This allows the entry of cables into the staff and maintains access to the connections of the lamp through another cover arranged in the extension of the housing of the device.

For its operation as SAVE, it will have common electronic components in this type of devices such as: one or two sockets of the type approved for the type of recharge (IEC type 62196-2); surge protectors; Magneto-thermal and differential protection for each outlet; electronic control module with added network watchdog function; an energy measurement module for each outlet; one or more indicator lights for status indication (available, loaded, load completed); user identification system using RFID / NFC technology; 3G / 4G / 5G router for communication with control center and LED luminaire.

It is noteworthy that the device recommended does not require any type of screen, display or keyboard for operation by the user, since said operation is performed at through an application for mobile devices (App), although you can also include an operation screen as an alternative to that application.

This way, an easy-to-implement device is achieved, with a very low installation cost, which makes it possible to take advantage of the existing electrical distribution pipes, avoiding costly works and, due to the proximity of the street lamps to certain parking areas vehicles make the implantation of the device optimal.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures described, and especially of Figure 1, it can be seen how the device of the invention is intended to be implemented on a street lamp (1), located on a sidewalk (2), so that collaterally to this one a parking space (3) is defined for electric vehicles and electric recharging thereof.

The device in particular consists of two cameras (4 and 5) coupled together around the staff of a lamp (1), counting the anterior chamber (4) with two power outlets (6), being linked through means of hinge (7) by one of its ends, while on its opposite side the corresponding lock will be established.

For its connection to the lamp post (1) a metallic structure (8-9) has been provided as a double blind that embraces the staff by means of threaded rods (10), as a skeleton, on which they hinge the cameras (4 and 5).

The cameras (4) and (5) are complemented by respective hinged covers (11), as can be seen in Figure 2, containing within them the usual electronic equipment in this type of charging stations or SAVE's, such as a control panel (12), one or two sockets (6) of the type approved for the type of recharge (socket type IEC 62196-2); surge protectors; Magneto-thermal and differential protection for each outlet; electronic control module with added network watchdog function; an energy measurement module for each outlet; one or more indicator lights for status indication (available, loaded, load completed); user identification system using RFID / NFC technology; 3G / 4G / 5G router for communication with control center and LED luminaire, etc.

The structure thus described can be complemented internally with a pedestal (13), formed by two semi-shells that are arranged under the chambers (4 and 5), in which case the metallic structure (8-9) will be extended internally to establish a means to fix said semi-housings, having an opening (14) with cover (15) to access the corresponding connection cover (16) of the lamp post (one).

In short, it is a recharging device for electric vehicles intended to be located on public roads without the need for laborious and expensive works, since it is intended to be installed on a lamp post (1), taking advantage of its external structure as a support physical, and its internal structure as a means of electrical power, not requiring anchoring to the pavement, without overloading the sidewalks and without having to perform civil works for its installation, being its installation extremely fast and simple, allowing electric vehicles to recharge, through a computer application and / or optionally through a screen or control interface associated with one of its two cameras (4-5).

More specifically, it has been foreseen that the identification of the user to allow recharging can be carried out by several alternative systems, such as RFID card, mobile phone with NFC or by entering the registration number of the vehicle and personal code previously registered .

It only remains to note finally that, as has been said before, the cables or electrical hose that constitute the connection to the recharging system leave the front chamber (5) through a hole protected by a stuffing box that provides leak tightness, as in the variants of FIGS. 1 and 2, or, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, through an extension of the housing of the device itself that reaches the registration opening of the lamp and covers it by replacing the cover of the lamp. it is materialized in the two half-shells that determine the pedestal (13).
