  • embodiments may also incorporate solar panels, in addition or alternative to the fuel powered generator 20, as a further means of recharging the power store 16 to likewise alleviate potential shortcoming of pure wind power reliance, where heavy use of the one or more charging bays 18 during times of low wind conditions otherwise might risk depletion of the power store 16 with no available backup for the necessary recharging of the power store 16.
  • On-board power monitoring equipment is preferably included that is operable to monitor output from the wind turbine (and solar panels, if included), and/or monitor current charge level of the power store 16, and preferably include a communication network connection by which such monitored status(es) are communicable to a remote monitoring entity.
  • the one or more charging bays 18 preferably include adapters by which they are compatible with a variety of different vehicle makes.
  • the trailer 12 of the illustrated embodiment is a double-drop or lowboy trailer whose deck is composed of three distinct sections: an elevated front section 12A, and elevated rear section 12B, and a middle section 12C residing therebetween, of which the middle section 12C resides at a lower elevation than the elevated front and rear sections 12A, 12B.

  • the horizontal direction in which the front and rear sections of the trailer are spaced from one another by the intervening middle lay-flat section 12C is referred to as a longitudinal direction, in which the trailer 12 is of elongated length relative to a lesser width of the trailer measured a lateral direction of perpendicularly transverse relation, and shared horizontality, to the longitudinal direction.

  • the power store 16, and the fuel powered generator 20 are both hosted on the lay-flat middle section 12C of the trailer 12 to help minimize the elevation at which the center of gravity of the overall mobile EV charging station 10 resides, for optimal stability when deployed and used, though alternative locations for one or both of these components remains within the scope of the present invention.
  • the two wind turbines 14A, 14B are each repositionable between an erect working position standing upright from the trailer 12 ( Figures 5 to 9) and a laid-down transport position ( Figures 1 to 4) of lesser elevationally upstanding relation to the trailer 12 than said erect working position.
  • Each wind turbine 14A, 14B has a respective base 26 fixed atop the lay-flat middle section 12C of the trailer, and a respective mast 28 selectively erectable atop the respective base 26.
  • Front turbine 14A thus refers to the wind turbine of closer adjacency to the elevated front section 12A of the trailer than to the opposing rear section 12B thereof
  • rear turbine thus refers to the wind turbine of closer adjacency to the elevated rear section 12B of the trailer than to the opposing front section 12A thereof.
  • the respective mast 28 of the front turbine 14A radiates rearwardly from the respective base 26 toward the rear end of the trailer 12
  • the respective mast 28 of the rear turbine 14B radiates forwardly from the respective base 26 toward the front end of the trailer 12.
  • each mast 28 includes a blade-carrying terminal segment thereof where the mast 28 features a rotor 30 to which the wind turbine’s respective set of blades 32 are attached to impart rotation to said rotor 30 about the axis of the mast 28 when the blades 32 are acted on by the wind in the erect working position of the wind turbine 14A, 14B.
  • Such rotation generates electricity through cooperative combination of magnets on this rotor with wire coils of accompanying stator 34.

  • the terminal segments of the mast 28 at which the rotor 30, stator 34 and blades 32 are embodied overlies either the elevated front section 12A of the trailer 12 (in the instance of the rear turbine 14B) or the elevated rear section 12B of the trailer 12 (in the instance of the front turbine 14A).
  • the terminal section of each mast and the associated set of blades 32 embodied thereat reside in closer to the trailer deck than they would if they instead overlaid the lay-flat middle section 12C in the laid-down positions of the masts, and so these terminals sections of the mast can be rested directly atop, or at least be laid closely adjacent the deck of the trailer for strapped or other secured anchorage thereto for transport.
  • the bases 26 of the two turbines 14A, 14B are offset from one another in the lateral direction LA of the trailer to allow the masts 28 thereof to lie side by side in their laid-down positions, with each base 26 thus residing more closely to adjacent to one respective lateral side of the trailer 12 than to the other.
  • the respective axis of one or both of the masts may be obliquely offset from the central longitudinal axis Lo of the trailer.
  • both masts are obliquely offset from the longitudinal axis Lo in a direction in which the mast 28 angles laterally inward toward such axis in its radiating span from the respective base 26.
  • the angulation of the two masts 28, in their laid down positions, relative to the longitudinal axis Lo need not necessarily match, per the illustrated example where the mast 28 of rear turbine 14B lies at greater angle to the longitudinal axis Lo than does the mast 28 of front turbine 14A, and so the two laid-down masts 28 are not parallel, though they may be parallel to one another in other embodiments.
  • each mast 28 lies parallel to the deck surfaces of the trailer in the laid-down position of the mast, though again, this need not necessarily be the case in all embodiments.
  • the lay-flat middle section 12C of the trailer is equipped with a set of outriggers 36 movable between raised transport positions ( Figures 1 through 4) elevated out of ground contact, and lowered working positions of ground engaging contact ( Figures 5 through 9).
  • the outriggers 36 are deployed to their lowered working positions once the trailer has been delivered to the site of intended use, and lowered into its lay-flat state resting the lay-flat middle section 12C of the trailer 12 on the ground, and prior to erection of the two wind turbines to anchor the trailer in an optimally stable position before raising the wind turbines 14A, 14B, and to maintain such stability during use of the erected wind turbines.
  • two pairs of outriggers 36 are provided, each pair aligning with the base 26 of one of the two wind turbines 14A, 14B, or at least residing near thereto in the longitudinal direction of the trailer to provide lateral stability directly at, or closely near, the location where the respective wind turbine stands upright from the lay-flat middle section 12C of the trailer once erected.
  • the singular charging bay 18 resides at the elevated rear section 12C of the trailer, which is of lower elevation than the taller elevated front section 12A, which makes the charging bay 18 easier to access by users than if it were mounted atop of the elevated front section 12A.
  • one or more charging bays may be provided on the lay-flat middle section 12C so as to reside even closer to ground level when the trailer is parked, provided any such charging bay is resides in non-conflicting relationship to raising/lowering of the wind turbine masts 28 and the outriggers 36.
  • the charging bay 18 includes a payment terminal operable to accept payment for charging time on the charging bay 18 by direct credit card or debit card payment through an onsite card reader of said payment terminal, or through interface of said payment terminal with a mobile device software application (e.g. smartphone app).

Abstract

L'invention concerne une station de charge de véhicule électrique (EV) mobile comprenant une remorque tractable pourvue d'une ou plusieurs éoliennes pouvant être érigées de manière sélective, chacune pouvant être repositionnée entre une position de travail érigée verticalement depuis la remorque et une position de transport couchée présentant une relation moins verticale par rapport à la remorque. Un accumulateur d'énergie rechargeable se situant sur la remorque est couplé électriquement à la ou aux éoliennes pouvant être érigées de manière sélective afin d'être chargé. Une ou plusieurs baies de charge de VE se situant sur la remorque sont connectées électriquement à l'accumulateur d'énergie pour alimenter les baies de charge de VE à partir de celui-ci et permettre ainsi la recharge d'un véhicule EV par chaque baie de charge à l'aide de la puissance électrique stockée provenant des éoliennes. La remorque peut desservir des zones géographiques reculées ou sous-desservies dépourvues d'une infrastructure de charge de VE suffisante, et permet à des entreprises existantes dotées d'un espace de parc de stationnement disponible d'ajouter une capacité de charge de VE à leur emplacement.
