摘要: Wirelessly charging a vehicle battery may be performed using a plurality of charging coils. The offboard coils and the onboard coils may be spaced apart by different amounts, such that, when the vehicle is positioned in a vehicle charging space, at least one pair of an onboard coil and an offboard coil may still be substantially aligned for wireless charging, even when other coils are misaligned. The offboard coils may include sizes that are conducive to charge smaller capacity systems in some arrangements and are combinable to charge larger capacity systems in other arrangements. In addition, the use of relatively small coils may allow for flexibility in thermal management.

摘要: A charging system for an industrial electric vehicle is described. The charging system includes a charger module; a connector module; and a controller. The charger module is configured for receiving an input power from a primary power source, converting the input power into an output power and providing the output power to the connector module. The connector module is electrically connected, by an electrical connection, to the charger module for providing the output power to the connector module. The connector module includes a charging connector electrically connected to the charger module. The charger module is configured for receiving the output power from the charger module for transiently connecting the charging connector to a receiving connector of the industrial electric vehicle, for charging the industrial electric vehicle with the output power. The connector module further including a first actuator for adjusting a vertical position of the charging connector, and a second actuator for adjusting a horizontal position of the charging connector. The controller is configured for detecting a position of the receiving connector, controlling the first actuator to adjust the position of the charging connector according to the position of the receiving connector, and controlling the second actuator to connect the charging connector to the receiving connector. The connector module, and optionally the charger module, is/are arranged on a movable frame, the movable frame including a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is configured for coupling the movable frame to a transport device for transporting the movable frame.

摘要: Presented are charger coupler locking systems with control logic for managing vehicle charging, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such systems. A method of controlling charging of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller receiving a signal indicating a charger coupler of a vehicle charging system is inserted into a charger port of the vehicle and, when received, responsively commanding an actuator device of a coupler locking system to move a locking element against a latching element of the charger coupler. The controller then receives sensor data from a position sensing device indicative of a travel position of the locking element; from this sensor data, the controller determines if the locking element's travel position is displaced from a predefined lock position at which the locking element contacts the latching element. If so, the controller responsively commands the vehicle's battery charging system to disable charging of the battery assembly.

摘要: An automated connection and disconnection system for a battery assembly is disclosed. The system may be implemented by a first component of an electric vehicle and a second component of the battery assembly. The first component includes a linear actuator that is configured to push a set of electrical connectors associated with the electric vehicle outward and establish a connection with a corresponding set of electrical connectors associated with the battery assembly. The process of connecting or docking the battery assembly to the electric vehicle is thereby automated and the time needed to exchange batteries is reduced. The system further includes provisions for ensuring the two components remain aligned relative to one another during docking.

摘要: A concealed charging device of an electrical vehicle, as well as a method thereof, is provided, including a base body arranged, in a concealed manner, in an electrical vehicle. The base body is provided with an extendible member. A driving member controls the extendible member for reciprocal movement in a longitudinal direction on the base body. The extendible member is also provided with an electricity-conducting assembly, which includes a conduction member and an electricity-conducting member. As such, to do charging, the driving member controls the extendible member to extend in the longitudinal direction and the electricity-conducting member is collaboratively operating with a charging seat to achieve electrical transmission of electricity through the electricity-conducting member and the conduction member for carrying out charging to a battery of the electrical vehicle.
