    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a rail mobile electric vehicle charging system capable of charging an electric vehicle by moving an electric vehicle charger to a certain position through a method of moving a plurality of electric vehicle chargers to a predetermined charge spot using a moving unit that moves along a rail and connecting an input port of the electric vehicle charger to a power terminal provided at the charge spot, so that there is no need to designate a dedicated parking lot for electric vehicle charging, and there are no problems with charging the electric vehicle even if electric vehicles and regular engine vehicles are parked without distinction, and there is no need to move the electric vehicle to another space even after charging is completed, thereby maximizing the convenience of charging and providing fire monitoring and fire extinguishing functions.

    摘要: A ground contact unit for a vehicle battery charging system for the automatic conductive connection to a vehicle contact unit. The ground contact unit has a plate-shaped base body, at least one potential layer, and a plurality of contact areas which are arranged on an exposed charging surface of the base body against which the vehicle contact unit can come into contact, and which are assigned to the at least one potential layer. At least one protective assembly is assigned to the contact areas of the at least one potential layer. The at least one protective assembly has a current measuring unit provided in the current path for current measurement and a switch which is arranged in the current path and is controlled, among others, depending on the result of the current measuring unit.

    摘要: A method and system for providing a cooperative automotive mobile charging infrastructure are described. In one embodiment, a method for providing a cooperative automotive mobile charging infrastructure includes receiving a notification indicating an availability for providing mobile charging to electric personal transport devices. Each notification includes an identification of an electrified vehicle to provide the mobile charging and a location of the electrified vehicle. The method includes receiving a request for mobile charging from a user and determining a candidate electrified vehicle that is available to provide mobile charging to the user. The method also includes providing the location of the candidate electrified vehicle to the user to provide mobile charging at the location to an electric personal transport device associated with the user.

    摘要: A positioning system for an automatic vehicle charging system includes charger-side positioning modules arranged on a charger and a charger-side control unit. The charger-side positioning modules comprise a static master module and at least two slave modules connected to the static master module. The charger-side control unit is connected to the static master module. The static master module receives a charging request from a vehicle and distances to a mobile module to determine a position of the mobile module using the measured distances, and to the position of the mobile module to the charger-side control unit to provide the allowance for charging when the position of the mobile module is within a pre-defined tolerance.
