Abstract
A stationary induction charging device for charging a battery electric vehicle includes a housing with a heat-dissipating base plate and a cover. An inductive charging device inside the housing is in thermal contact with the base plate and enables inductive energy transfer with a vehicle. A central air circulation device directs airflow along a path through the housing to cool the base plate and regulate device temperature.
Claims20
A stationary induction charging device that can be arranged in a fixed position on a flat surface for an inductive vehicle charging system configured to charge a battery of a battery electric vehicle, comprising:
- a housing including a base plate and a cover disposed on the base plate, the base plate arranged to dissipate heat to an environment surrounding of the stationary induction charging device;
- an inductive charging device arranged in an interior space of the housing, the interior space defined by the base plate and the cover, the inductive charging device in thermal contact with the base plate and configured for electromagnetic interaction with an induction charging device associated with the battery electric vehicle such that electrical energy is inductively transferable between the stationary induction charging device and the battery electric vehicle;
- and
- an air circulation device disposed centrally within the interior space and configured to control a temperature of the stationary induction charging device by directing an air stream along a circulation path extending through the interior space and at least partially along the base plate such that the air stream washes at least a portion of the base plate.
An inductive vehicle charging system configured to charge a battery of a battery electric vehicle with electrical energy, comprising:
- a stationary induction charging device comprising:
- a housing including a base plate and a cover disposed on the base plate, the base plate arranged to dissipate heat to an environment surrounding the stationary induction charging device;
- an inductive charging device arranged in an interior space of the housing, the interior space defined by the base plate and the cover, the inductive charging device in thermal contact with the base plate and configured for electromagnetic interaction with an induction charging device associated with the battery electric vehicle such that electrical energy is inductively transferable between the stationary induction charging device and the battery electric vehicle;
- and
- an air circulation device disposed centrally within the interior space and configured to control a temperature of the stationary induction charging device by directing an air stream along a circulation path extending through the interior space and at least partially along the base plate such that the air stream washes at least a portion of the base plate.
