CHARGING AND DISCHARGING FACILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18586539 titled 'CHARGING AND DISCHARGING FACILITY
The abstract describes a charging and discharging facility with two levels, each containing a parking space for charging and discharging electric vehicles. A power converter device connects the two levels with an external power cable.
- The facility has a first level section with the first charging and discharging parking space, and a second level section directly above with the second parking space.
- A power converter device is connected between the two levels to facilitate charging and discharging.
- The first charging and discharging connection member is attached to the end of the cable extending from the ceiling of the first level section.
- The second charging and discharging connection member is attached to the end of the cable extending from the floor of the second level section.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging stations - Multi-level parking garages with charging capabilities
Problems Solved: - Efficient charging and discharging of electric vehicles in a multi-level facility - Maximizing use of space for charging stations
Benefits: - Increased convenience for electric vehicle owners - Optimal use of space in parking facilities
Commercial Applications: Electric vehicle charging infrastructure for commercial parking lots and garages
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the power converter device facilitate charging and discharging between the two levels? 2. What are the advantages of having a multi-level charging and discharging facility for electric vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
The charging and discharging facility has a first level section where the first charging and discharging parking space is located, a second level section where the second charging and discharging parking space is located on the floor directly above the first level section, and a power converter device connected between the first level section and the second level section by an external power cable. In the first charging and discharging parking space, the first charging and discharging connection member is attached to the end of the first charging and discharging cable extending from the ceiling of the first level section, and in the second charging and discharging parking space, the second charging and discharging connection member is attached to the end of the second charging and discharging cable extending from the floor of the second level section.
