Abstract
A selective-type battery charging and transferring system for electric vehicle uses a discretionary scheme rather than conventional continuous scheme and select the fully-charged battery to load on the transfer stage. The electric vehicle can be ensured to load with the most fully charged battery, thus eliminates the difficulty caused by the charging time difference.
Claims14
A selective-type battery charging and transferring system for electric vehicle which comprising:
- a transfer stage for clamping said electric vehicle and replacing a fully charged battery for the vehicle;
- a buffer stage beside the transfer stage, the used battery unloaded from the electric vehicle X is arranged on one side thereof and a fully-charged battery is arranged on another side thereof;
- an access means arranged between a storage chamber and the buffer stage, and used to place the non-fully charged battery into the storage chamber and place the fully-charged battery to the buffer stage from any battery room;
- a storage chamber having a plurality of battery rooms and used to accommodate the battery unloaded from the vehicle for charging detection and management;
- a control unit connected with the transfer stage for controlling the loading and unloading of the battery of the vehicle, and connected with the buffer stage for controlling the transfer of the loaded/unloaded battery, and also connected to the access means for controlling the charging of the battery, which is unloaded from the access means and charged within the storage chamber and for placing the fully-charged battery to the buffer storage.
