被装备用于无线车辆充电的车辆的停泊辅助
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请依据35U.S.C.§119(e)要求2011年8月12日提交的美国临时专利申请No.61/522,770的权益,该申请的全部公开通过引用结合于此。
技术领域
本公开大体涉及电动车的无线的电池充电器,且更特定地涉及用于辅助车辆操作人员来停泊车辆与充电板对齐的系统。
背景技术
电动车辆和电混合动力车辆在消费者中正获得普及。这些车辆中的电动机一般从置于车辆中的电池组里的多个存储电池获得电源。如果当车辆停泊时需要对电池再充电的话,一般由车辆操作人员,将插头或有线充电耦合设备连接至车辆。然而,一些操作人员反感每次车辆停泊时都必须“插入”他们的车辆。
已经提出了无线或无连接器的电池充电器,见1996年3月12日授予Bruni等人的专利号为5,498,948的美国专利、和2011年8月30日授予Oyobe等人的专利号为8,008,888的美国专利。由Troy,Michigan的Delphi销售的无线电池充电器包括位于被充电车辆下方的停泊表面上的源谐振器或充电板、以及安装在车辆下方的相应捕捉谐振器或接收板。在这一个示例中的源谐振器和捕捉谐振器是约五百毫米乘以五百毫米的正方形(500mm x 500mm)。当车辆在停泊时使得源谐振器和捕捉谐振器被水平地(即,侧向地且纵向地)对齐时,这样的无线电池充电器是最有效的。然而,由于源谐振器和捕捉谐振器位于车辆下方,对于车辆操作人员而言难以判断何处停泊车辆以使源谐振器和捕捉谐振器对齐。
发明内容
根据一个实施例,提供了用于将附连至车辆的捕捉谐振器定位在驻留于位于车辆下的停泊表面上的源谐振器上的车辆停泊辅助系统。该系统包括目标和多个光源。目标被相对于源谐振器而定位于当车辆被停泊时可由车辆操作人员看到的位置。多个光源被设置为附连至该车辆,并被取向以使当车辆被合适地定位时,来自光源的光束在一个或多个预定位置撞击在目标上。
在另一个实施例中,提供了被装备用于无线电池充电的车辆。该车辆包括捕捉谐振器和多个光源。捕捉谐振器被附连至该车辆。捕捉谐振器被设置为从驻留于位于车辆下的停泊表面上的源谐振器接收能量用于对车辆电池充电。多个光源被附连至该车辆并被设置为被取向成使得当车辆被合适地定位时,来自光源的光束在一个或多个预定位置撞击在目标上。
通过阅读较佳实施例的以下具体说明,进一步的特征和优点将变得更加清楚,该说明仅借助于非限制的示例并参考附图来给出。
附图简述
现将参照附图通过示例描述本发明,其中:
图1是根据一个实施例的被用于停泊车辆的车辆停泊辅助系统的侧视图;和
图2是根据一个实施例的图1的被用于停泊车辆的车辆停泊辅助系统的立体图。
详细描述
图1示出车辆停泊辅助系统的非限制性实施例,下文称为系统10。系统10可以是用于对车辆14中的电池12充电的无线的电池充电器的一部分。为了对电池12充电,车辆14被装备有附连至车辆14的捕捉谐振器16。在这个非限制性示例中的捕捉谐振器16位于车辆14的下侧24上,且谐振器16被设置为从驻留于位于车辆14下的停泊表面20上的源谐振器18接收能量22(即,电磁能)用于对电池12充电。停泊表面可位于由车辆所有者拥有的车库内,或者位于提供电动车辆再充电服务的公共停车场中。
电池充电器可包括充电控制器,下文称为控制器26,用于控制从源谐振器18发射出多少能量22。控制器26可包括诸如微处理器之类的处理器(未示出)或对于本领域人员而言明显的其他控制电路。控制器26还可包括射频(RF)收发器,其能与车辆14通信从而确定电池12的充电状态。控制器26还可包括存储器(未示出),该存储器包括诸如用于存储一个或多个例程、阈值和所捕捉的数据的电可擦可编程只读存储器(EEPROM)之类的非易失性存储器。该一个或多个例程可由处理器执行以执行用于确定由控制器26所接收的RF信号是否表示电池12需要充电的数个步骤。
应该理解,捕捉谐振器16越是接近地与源谐振器18对齐,越是有效地从源谐振器18传递能量22至捕捉谐振器16。进一步,应该理解,因为捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18位于车辆14下方,对于操作人员28而言难以将车辆14移动到源谐振器16水平地(即,侧向地且纵向地)对齐源谐振器18处的位置。举例而非限制,捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18之间的垂直间隔一般为约十五厘米到二十厘米(15-20cm)。
为帮助操作人员28停泊车辆14以使捕捉谐振器16与源谐振器18对齐,系统10包括定位为与源谐振器18间隔某个已知、固定、或约定间距的目标30。如从下文将变得清楚地,目标30优选地被定位从而使得在停泊车辆14时,目标30可由操作人员28所看到。例如,目标30可被安装在停车空间的前方的柱子上,或可被安装在操作人员家中的车库墙壁上。
系统10还包括多个光源32,被设置为附连至车辆14,例如附连至车辆14的前保险杆或集成至车辆14的前灯组件中。光源32可作为售后改装件而被添加至车辆14,或者可以是当车辆14被原始制造时的功能件。在一个实施例中,光源32是激光,例如易于从数个供应商处获得的发光二极管(LED)型激光。激光被认为是优选的,因为足够的激光亮度易于可用于白天使用。然而,应认识到,其他光源可以是合适的。光源32优选地被设置为被取向成使得当车辆14被相对于源谐振器18而被合适地定位时,来自光源32的光束34在一个或多个预定位置撞击在目标30上。
图2进一步示出目标30和光束34如何结合来辅助操作人员28定位车辆14以使捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18对齐的非限制性实施例。在一个实施例中,每一个光源32被设置为发射出在目标30上形成垂直线36的光束34。通过为激光提供合适的透镜,或者通过使用激光可被用于微机电(MEMS)镜可变地偏转激光束,来使用激光用于“画出”垂直线36。
在一个实施例中,光源32可被取向,从而当车辆14合适地被定位时,光束34收敛于目标30上。如图2中所示,车辆被图示为太过远离目标30,且因此由光束34的交点形成的收敛线38位于车辆14和目标30之间。应该理解,当车辆14向前移动时,目标30上的垂直线36将移动为更接近一起,直到当收敛线38位于目标30的表面上时,垂直线36它们收敛。
目标30还可包括限位标记40来指示垂直线36要如何接近才能充分地对齐捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18。即,操作人员28不需要准确地定位车辆14以使仅收敛线38出现在目标上,但这种对齐足够近了。可基于光束34的形状以及捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18可容忍多大的不对齐而经验地或数学地确定限位标记40之间的间隔距离。限位标记还可用于通过收敛线38如何良好地位于限位标记40中间来指示车辆14如何被侧向地(即,左/右)对齐。
尽管图2仅建议用两个光源,可理解的是,附加光源对于提供用于停泊车辆的其他对齐辅助是有用的。还应想到的是,其他目标设置是可行的,诸如位于车辆14侧边的第二目标。此外,应想到表示车辆14对于目标30的“平直度(squareness)”的其他对齐辅助,来进一步表示捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18的侧向(即,左/右)对齐。还应想到,光源32可包括调节辅助,对于其中目标可位于车库墙壁上的情况下该调节辅助定制光束34的取向,和/或被升级为容纳各种停泊便利性设置。
相应地,提供了车辆停泊辅助系统(系统10)、和被装备来与该系统10操作的车辆14。使光束34照射到目标30上为操作人员28提供了简单、易于理解的手段来停泊车辆14,从而捕捉谐振器16和源谐振器18被充分地对齐用于对电池12的充分充电。
尽管就本发明的较佳实施例对本发明进行了说明,但本发明不意在被如此限制,而是意在下面权利要求书中阐释的范围。
