CHARGING AND DISCHARGING FACILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300353 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 is connected between the two levels to facilitate the transfer of power.

  • 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 transfer power efficiently.
  • The first charging and discharging connection member is attached to the end of the cable extending from the ceiling of the first level section, while the second connection member is attached to 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 - Optimization of space for parking and charging

Benefits: - Increased convenience for electric vehicle owners - Reduction of carbon emissions from transportation

Commercial Applications: Electric vehicle charging infrastructure for commercial buildings, shopping centers, and public parking facilities.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the power converter device enhance the charging and discharging process? 2. What safety measures are in place to prevent accidents during the charging and discharging of 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.
