Mobile Charge Device
20230339352 · 2023-10-26 ·

The present invention relates to a novel mobile charge device. The device is a multifunctional truck designed to charge stranded electric vehicles. The truck device is similar to a tow truck but also comprises a very large battery positioned in its rear portion. The large battery comprises a plurality of charging cables, which extend outward from the battery system. The charging cables are designed to allow the truck device to charge stranded electric vehicles. Further, the charging cables are designed to accommodate any make or model of electric vehicle. Thus, the truck device is useful for helping prevent electric vehicle owners from being stranded for long periods of time without battery charge.

The battery support frame comprises a support frame body and a back panel. The support frame body has a channel for the battery box to enter into or exit from the support frame body. The back panel is used to connect the support frame body to an electric vehicle. At least one locking slot extending in an X direction is provided on the back panel. The channel for entry and exit of the battery box on the support frame body enables the support frame body to be connected to an electric vehicle by means of the back panel. The locking slot is configured to extend in the X direction, effectively increasing the area of the locking slot, and accordingly increasing the contact area between the locking slot and the locking shaft. The invention improves stress uniformity between the locking slot and the locking shaft, and prevents a concentration of stress.

Preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement

The invention refers to a method of preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement, and a computer-program thereof. The method of preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement, according to invention, operates for an electric vehicle equipped with a first electronic control unit (100) in charge with battery replacement and a second electronic control unit (200) of suspension system, the respective ECUs (100, 200) communicating by means of an internal bus system. The method includes the following steps: (51) Sending an information from the first ECU to the second ECU that the vehicle is prepared to perform a battery replacement; (52) Once said information is received by the second ECU, triggering a leveling forbid flag to the suspension system and deactivating it; (53) Once said deactivation has been performed, setting a feedback signal to inform that battery replacement can commence; (54) during battery replacement, setting said feedback signal to inform that battery replacement is ongoing; (55) Upon completion of battery replacement, informing the second ECU that the battery replacement has been finished successfully, and allowing the activation of suspension.
