FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a charging apparatus, and FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a charging device of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a charging apparatus 10 includes a first vehicle 100, a charging device 200, and a second vehicle 300.

The vehicle described herein refers to any mode of transportation, delivery, or communication such as, for example, an automobile, a truck, a tractor, a scooter, a motorcycle, a cycle, an amphibious vehicle, a snowmobile, a boat, a public transit vehicle, a bus, a monorail, a train, a tram, an autonomous or automated driving vehicle, an intelligent vehicle, a self-driving vehicle, an unmanned aerial vehicle, an electric vehicle (EV), a hybrid vehicle, or a drone.

In an example, the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300 is provided on the charging device 200. In an example, the charging device 200 supports the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300. For example, the charging device 200 includes an inclined plate configured to support the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300.

In an example, the first vehicle 100 transmits a rotational force or torque to the second vehicle 300 through the charging device 200. The second vehicle 300 performs charging by applying the rotational force to a regenerative braking. For example, the second vehicle 300 may be a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. The first vehicle 100 may be a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, a gasoline vehicle, or a diesel vehicle. The first vehicle 100 transmits the torque to the second vehicle 300, thus any type of vehicles may be used to charge the second vehicle 300.

As shown in FIG. 2. the charging device 200 includes a controller 210, a transmission 220, and a roller apparatus 230.

The roller apparatus 230 transmits, to the second vehicle 300, a rotational force generated when a wheel of the first vehicle 100 rotates. In an example, the roller apparatus 230 transmits the rotational force of the first vehicle 100 to the second vehicle 300 using a desired gear ratio. For example, the roller apparatus 230 may include a first roller configured to rotate in response to the rotation of the wheel of the first vehicle 100 and a second roller configured to rotate a wheel of the second vehicle 300.

In an example, each of the first roller and the second roller is a roller in a hollow coaxial structure. Accordingly, loss of the rotational force of the first vehicle 100 is minimized and in this state, the rotational force is transmitted to the second vehicle 300. Since each of the first roller and the second roller is provided in the coaxial structure, the portability of the charging device 200 increases.

The controller 210 controls a gear ratio of the roller apparatus 230. In an example, the controller 210 controls the gear ratio based on an optimal operation point. For example, the controller 210 may use a first optimal operation point of the first vehicle 100 and a second optimal operation point of the second vehicle 300.

The optimal operation point may vary for each vehicle. For example, in the case of a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, the optimal operation point may be a middle-speed-and-middle-torque area. In the case of a gasoline vehicle or a diesel vehicle, the optimal operation point may be a middle-speed-and-high-torque area. In an example, the controller 210 determines the optimal operation point based on a type of a vehicle.

In an example, the controller 210 determines the optimal operation point based on a motor efficiency map. The motor efficiency map may include an efficiency, for example, percentage (%), torque, for example, Newton-meter (Nm), and speed, for example, revolution per minute (RPM) of a vehicle. That is, the controller 210 determines the first optimal operation point based on a motor efficiency map of the first vehicle 100 and determines the second optimal operation point based on a motor efficiency map of the second vehicle 300. In an example, the controller 210 may determine the gear ratio based on a ratio between the first optimal operation point and the second optimal operation point.

In an example, the transmission 220 changes the gear ratio in response to an instruction of the controller 210. For example, the transmission 220 may be configured as a continuously variable transmission (CVT). In an example, the transmission 220 transmits the rotational force from the first vehicle 100 to the second vehicle 300 by providing a belt between two rollers, for example, the first roller and the second roller. In an example, the first roller and the second roller may be pulleys. In an example, the transmission 220 infinitely changes the gear ratio by changing a diameter of each roller during a process of transmitting the rotational force. In an example, the transmission 220 may be provided between the first roller and the second roller.

FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a structure of a charging device.

Referring to FIG. 3, a charging device 400 includes a transmission 420 and a roller apparatus.

The roller apparatus includes first rollers 431 and 432 configured to support a first vehicle, and second rollers 441 and 442 configured to support a second vehicle. The first rollers 431 and 432 receive a rotational force from the first vehicle and transmit the rotational force to the transmission 420. In an example, when the first vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle transmits the rotational force to the first rollers 431 and 432 through front wheels. In an example, when the first vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first rollers 431 and 432 through rear wheels. An example in which the first vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A through 11.

The transmission 420 transmits the rotational force to the second rollers 441 and 442 based on a gear ratio set by a controller. The above description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be applicable to setting of the gear ratio by the controller. In an example, the transmission 420 may be configured as a CVT.

When the second vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second rollers 441 and 442 through front wheels. When the second vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second rollers 441 and 442 through rear wheels. An example in which the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A through 11. In an example, the second vehicle performs charging using a regenerating braking from the transmitted rotational force.

Although not illustrated, the charging device 400 may include a first fixing member configured to fix the first vehicle and a second fixing member configured to fix the second vehicle.

For example, when the first vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first fixing member may fix the rear wheel of the first vehicle. When the first vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first fixing member may fix the front wheels of the first vehicle. When the first vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the first fixing member may fix the front wheels or the rear wheels of the first vehicle.

When the second vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the second fixing member may fix the rear wheels of the second vehicle. When the second vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the second fixing member may fix the front wheels of the second vehicle. When the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the second fixing member may fix the front wheels or the rear wheels of the second vehicle. Thus, the rotational force may be stably transmitted from the first vehicle to the second vehicle using the first fixing member and the second fixing member.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a charging device. Referring to FIG. 4, a charging device 500 includes a transmission 520 and a roller apparatus.

The roller apparatus includes a first roller 53 configured to support a first vehicle and a second roller 541 configured to support a second vehicle. In the charging device 500, the transmission 520 is provided at an outside of the first roller 531 and the second roller 541. That is, the first roller 531 may support two wheels of the first vehicle and the second roller 541 may support two wheels of the second vehicle. Accordingly, a rotational force of the first vehicle may be stably transmitted to the second vehicle. In an example, a length of the first roller 531 may be greater than a tread of the first vehicle and a length of the second roller 541 may be greater than a tread of the second vehicle.

The first roller 531 receives the rotational force from the first vehicle and transmits the rotational force to the transmission 520. Here, when the first vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 531 through front wheels. When the first vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 531 through rear wheels. An example in which the first vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A through 11.

When the second vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second roller 541 through rear wheels. An example in which the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A through 11. The second vehicle may perform charging by using a regenerating braking from the transmitted rotational force.

In the charging device 600, the first roller 631 and the second roller 641 are provided to diagonally face each other based on the transmission 620. Thus, the charging device 600 may perform charging regardless of the overall length of the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

In an example, the first roller 631 may support two wheels of the first vehicle and the second roller 641 may support two wheels of the second vehicle. Accordingly, a rotational force of the first vehicle may be stably transmitted to the second vehicle. In an example, a length of the first roller 631 may be greater than a tread of the first vehicle and a length of the second roller 641 may be greater than a tread of the second vehicle.

The first roller 631 receives the rotational force from the first vehicle and transmits the rotational force to the transmission 620.

When the second vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second roller 940 through rear wheels. An example in which the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A through 11. The second vehicle may perform charging by using a regenerating braking from the transmitted rotational force.

The third roller 950 serves to support the first vehicle for a stable rotation of wheels of the first vehicle. Thus, the third roller 950 may be idling in response to a rotation of the wheels of the first vehicle.

The fourth roller 960 serves to support the second vehicle for a stable rotation of wheels of the second vehicle. Thus, the fourth roller 960 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the second vehicle.

FIG. 9A illustrates an example of a charging device, and FIG. 9B illustrates an example in which the charging device of FIG. 9A is applied.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, a charging device 1000 may be a charging device in an example in which a second vehicle 300 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The charging device 1000 includes a transmission 1020 and a roller apparatus.

The roller apparatus includes first rollers 1031 and 1032, second rollers 1041 and 1042, third rollers 1051 and 1052, fourth rollers 1061 and 1062, a fifth roller 1070, and a sixth roller 1080. The roller apparatus further includes a first inclined plate 1091 configured to support a first vehicle 100 and a second inclined plate 1092 configured to support a second vehicle 300.

The first inclined plate 1091 may support the first vehicle 100 by adjusting a gradient. The second inclined plate 1092 may support the second vehicle 300 by adjusting a gradient. For example, the first inclined plate 1091 and the second inclined plate 1092 may adjust the gradient so that a rotational force of the first vehicle 100 may be optimally transmitted to the second vehicle 300.

The first rollers 1031 and 1032 and the third rollers 1051 and 1052 may support the first vehicle 100. Also, the second rollers 1041 and 1042, the fourth rollers 1061 and 1062, the fifth roller 1070, and the sixth roller 1080 may support the second vehicle 300.

The first rollers 1031 and 1032 receive the rotational force from the first vehicle 100 and transmit the rotational force to the transmission 1020. Here, when the first vehicle 100 is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle 100 may transmit the rotational force to the first rollers 1031 and 1032 through front wheels. When the first vehicle 100 is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle 100 may transmit the rotational force to the first rollers 1031 and 1032 through rear wheels. When the first vehicle 100 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the first inclined plate 1091 may include an additional roller capable of rotating a wheel. For example, the first inclined plate 1091 may include an additional roller as one, for example, the fifth roller 1070 and the sixth roller 1080, applied to the second inclined plate 1092.

The transmission 1020 transmits the rotational force to the second rollers 1041 and 1042 based on a gear ratio set by a controller. The above description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be applicable to setting of the gear ratio by the controller. The transmission 1020 may be configured as a CVT.

Here, since the second vehicle 300 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle 300 may receive the rotational force from the second rollers 1041 and 1042 through the front wheels or the rear wheels. When the second vehicle 300 receives the rotational force from the second rollers 1041 and 1042 through the front wheels, the rear wheels of the second vehicle 300 may be idling on the fifth roller 1070 and the sixth roller 1080. The second vehicle 300 may perform charging using a regenerative braking from the transmitted rotational force.

The third rollers 1051 and 1052 serve to support the first vehicle 100 for a stable rotation of wheels of the first vehicle 100. Thus, the third rollers 1051 and 1052 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the first vehicle 100.

The fourth rollers 1061 and 1062 serve to support the second vehicle 300 for a stable rotation of wheels of the second vehicle 300. Thus, the fourth rollers 1061 and 1062 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the second vehicle 300.

For clarity of description, FIGS. 9A and 9B are described based on an example in which the second vehicle 300 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle. However, it is provided as an example only. Examples may be expanded using an additional roller, such as the fifth roller 1070 and the sixth roller 1080, although the first vehicle 100 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle or all of the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300 are four-wheel-drive vehicles.

In addition, for clarity of description, FIG. 9B is described based on a configuration in which the front wheels of the first vehicle 100 and the front wheels of the second vehicle 300 are disposed upward compared to the rear wheels of the first vehicle 100 and the rear wheels of the second vehicle 300, respectively. However, it is provided as an example only. Gradients of the first inclined plate 1091 and the second inclined plate 1092 may be adjusted based o a configuration in which the rear wheels of the first vehicle 100 and the rear wheels of the second vehicle 300 are disposed upward compared to the front wheels of the first vehicle 100 and the front wheels of the second vehicle 300, respectively.

FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a structure of a charging device.

Referring to FIG. 10, a charging device 1100 may be a charging device in an example in which a second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The charging device 1100 includes a transmission 1120 and a roller apparatus.

The roller apparatus includes a first roller 1130, a second roller 1140, a third roller 1150, a fourth roller 1160, a fifth roller 1170, and a sixth roller 1180. Although not illustrated, the roller apparatus may further include a first inclined plate configured to support a first vehicle and a second inclined plate configured to support the second vehicle. The description made above with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B may be applicable to the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate, and are incorporated herein by reference. Thus, the above description may not be repeated here.

The first roller 1130 and the third roller 1150 may support the first vehicle. Also, the second roller 1140, the fourth roller 1160, the fifth roller 1170, and the sixth roller 1180 may support the second vehicle. Here, in the charging device 1100, the transmission 1120 is provided at an outside of the first roller 1130, the second roller 1140, the third roller 1150, the fourth roller 1160, the fifth roller 1170, and the sixth roller 1180. That is, each of the first roller 1130 and the third roller 1150 may support two wheels of the first vehicle, and each of the second roller 1140, the fourth roller 1160, the fifth roller 1170, and the sixth roller 1180 may support two wheels of the second vehicle. Accordingly, the rotational force of the first vehicle may be stably transmitted to the second vehicle. Also, each of the first roller 1130 and the third roller 1150 may have a length greater than a tread of the first vehicle. Each of the second roller 1140, the fourth roller 1160, the fifth roller 1170, and the sixth roller 1180 may have a length greater than a tread of the second vehicle.

The first roller 1130 receives the rotational force from the first vehicle and transmits the rotational force to the transmission 1120. Here, when the first vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 1130 through front wheels. When the first vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 1130 through rear wheels. When the first vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the first inclined plate may include an additional roller capable of rotating a wheel. For example, the first inclined plate may further include an additional roller such as, for example, the fifth roller 1170 and the sixth roller 1180, applied to the second inclined plate.

The transmission 1120 transmits the rotational force to the second roller 1140 based on a gear ratio set by a controller. The above description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be applicable to setting of the gear ratio by the controller. The transmission 1120 may be configured as a CVT.

Here, since the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second roller 1140 through the front wheels or the rear wheels. When the second vehicle receives the rotational force from the second roller 1140 through the front wheels, the rear wheels of the second vehicle may be idling through the fifth roller 1170 and the sixth roller 1180. The second vehicle may perform charging using a regenerative braking from the transmitted rotational force.

The third roller 1150 serves to support the first vehicle for a stable rotation of wheels of the first vehicle. Thus, the third roller 1150 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the first vehicle.

The fourth roller 1160 serves to support the second vehicle for a stable rotation of wheels of the second vehicle. That is, the fourth roller 1160 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the second vehicle.

FIG. 11 illustrates an example of a charging device.

Referring to FIG. 11, a charging device 1200 may be a charging device in an example in which a second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The charging device 1200 includes a transmission 1220 and a roller apparatus.

The roller apparatus includes a first roller 1230, a second roller 1240, a third roller 1250, a fourth roller 1260, a fifth roller 1270, and a sixth roller 1280. Although not illustrated, the roller apparatus may further include a first inclined plate configured to support a first vehicle and a second inclined plate configured to support the second vehicle. The description made above with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B may be applicable to the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate, and are incorporated herein by reference. Thus, the above description may not be repeated here.

The first roller 1230 and the third roller 1250 may support the first vehicle. Also, the second roller 1240, the fourth roller 1260, the fifth roller 1270, and the sixth roller 1280 may support the second vehicle. In the charging device 1200, the first roller 1230 and the third roller 1250 are provided to diagonally face the second roller 1240, the fourth roller 1260, the fifth roller 1270, and the sixth roller 1280 across the transmission 1220. That is, the charging device 1200 may perform charging regardless of the overall length of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. In an example, each of the first roller 1230 and the third roller 1250 may have a length greater than a tread of the first vehicle. Each of the second roller 1240, the fourth roller 1260, the fifth roller 1270, and the sixth roller 1280 may have a length greater than a tread of the second vehicle.

The first roller 1230 receives a rotational force from the first vehicle and transmits the rotational force to the transmission 1220. When the first vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 1230 through front wheels. When the first vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the first vehicle may transmit the rotational force to the first roller 1230 through rear wheels. When the first vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the first inclined plate may include an additional roller capable of rotating a wheel. For example, the first inclined plate may further include an additional roller such one, for example, the fifth roller 1270, and the sixth roller 1280, applied to the second inclined plate.

The transmission 1220 transmits the rotational force to the second roller 1240 based on a gear ratio set by a controller. The above description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be applicable to setting of the gear ratio by the controller. The transmission 1220 may be configured as a CVT.

Since the second vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the second vehicle may receive the rotational force from the second roller 1240 through the front wheels or from the fifth roller 1270 through the rear wheels. When the second vehicle receives the rotational force from the second roller 1240 through the front wheels, the rear wheels of the second vehicle may be idling through the fifth roller 1270 and the sixth roller 1280. The second vehicle may perform charging using a regenerative braking from the transmitted rotational force.

The third roller 1250 serves to support the first vehicle for a stable rotation of wheels of the first vehicle. Thus, the third roller 1250 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the first vehicle.

The fourth roller 1260 serves to support the second vehicle for a stable rotation of the wheels of the second vehicle. Thus, the fourth roller 1260 may be idling in response to the rotation of the wheels of the second vehicle.

FIG. 12 illustrates an example of a motor efficiency map of a first vehicle, and FIG. 13 illustrates an example of a motor efficiency map of a second vehicle.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 12, and 13, a configuration in which the controller 210 determines a gear ratio of the roller apparatus 230 may be verified.

The controller 210 may control the gear ratio of the roller apparatus 230 to operate each of the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300 at a corresponding optimal operation point. The controller 210 may control the gear ratio of the roller apparatus 230 using the transmission 220. The transmission 220 may be configured as a CVT and may infinitely change the gear ratio.

The controller 210 may determine the gear ratio based on an optimal operation point, for example, a first optimal operation point A, of the first vehicle 100 and an optimal operation point, for example, a second optimal operation point B′, of the second vehicle 300.

For example, the controller 210 may determine the first optimal operation point A based on a motor efficiency map of the first vehicle 100, and may determine the second optimal operation point B′ based on a motor efficiency map of the second vehicle 300.

Referring to FIG. 12, the optimal operation point of the first vehicle 100 may be identical to the first optimal operation point A. That is, the first vehicle 100 may operate at 100 Nm at 22.5 kWh, i.e., at the first optimal operation point A of 2250 RPM.

Referring to FIG. 13, the optimal operation point of the second vehicle 300 may be identical to the second optimal operation point B′. If gear ratio=1, the second vehicle 300 may operate at an operation point N. Accordingly, the controller 210 may control the gear ratio of the roller apparatus 230 to be 0.75 (=75/100 [Nm]=2250/3000 [RPM]) so that the second vehicle 300 may operate at 75 Nm at 22.5 kWh, i.e., at the second optimal operation point B′ of 3000 RPM. Thus, the controller 210 may control the gear ratio to minimize loss of a rotational force of the first vehicle 100 and to enhance a charging efficiency of the second vehicle 300.

If a wheel size of the first vehicle 100 is different from that of the second vehicle 300, the controller 210 may correct the determined gear ratio. The wheel size may indicate, for example, a radius, a diameter, or a circumference, of a wheel. For example, if the wheel size of the first vehicle 100 is greater by d folds than that of the second vehicle 300, the controller 210 may correct the gear ratio to be 0.75 d and may determine 0.75 d as the gear ratio.

In an example of a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, the controller 210 may determine a middle-speed-and-middle-torque area as the optimal operation point. In an example of a diesel vehicle or a gasoline vehicle, the controller 210 may determine a middle-speed-and-high-torque area as the optimal operation point. A middle speed refers to an intermediate area of a maximum speed of a vehicle, a middle torque refers to an intermediate area of a maximum torque of the vehicle, and a high torque refers to an area close to the maximum torque of the vehicle. The controller 210 may determine the optimal operation point and may determine the gear ratio based on whether each of the first vehicle 100 and the second vehicle 300 corresponds to a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, a diesel vehicle, or a gasoline vehicle.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a charging method. The operations in FIG. 14 may be performed in the sequence and manner as shown, although the order of some operations may be changed or some of the operations omitted without departing from the spirit and scope of the illustrative examples described. Many of the operations shown in FIG. 14 may be performed in parallel or concurrently. One or more blocks of FIG. 14, and combinations of the blocks, can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based computer that perform the specified functions, or combinations of special purpose hardware and computer instructions. In addition to the description of FIG. 14 below, the descriptions of FIGS. 1-13 are also applicable to FIG. 14, and are incorporated herein by reference. Thus, the above description may not be repeated here.

Referring to FIG. 14, a charging device may charge a second vehicle using a first vehicle.

In operation 1410, the charging device transmits a rotational force of the first vehicle to the second vehicle using a roller apparatus. In an example, the roller apparatus may be provided in a hollow coaxial structure. Accordingly, loss of the rotational force of the first vehicle may be minimized and in this instate, the rotational force of the first vehicle may be transmitted to the second vehicle. The portability of the charging device may be enhanced.

In operation 1420, the charging device controls a gear ratio of the roller apparatus using a transmission. In an example, the transmission is configured as a CVT and infinitely changes the gear ratio. The charging device may determine the gear ratio based on a first optimal operation point of the first vehicle and a second optimal operation point of the second vehicle. Accordingly, the charging device may efficiently transmit the rotational force of the first vehicle to the second vehicle and may quickly charge the second vehicle.

For example, the charging device may determine the first optimal operation point based on a motor efficiency map of the first vehicle and may determine the second optimal operation point based on a motor efficiency map of the second vehicle.

In another example, when the second vehicle or the first vehicle is a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, the charging device may determine a middle-speed-and-middle-torque area of the second vehicle or the first vehicle as a second optimal operation point or the first optimal operation point. Also, when the second vehicle or the first vehicle is a diesel vehicle or a gasoline vehicle, the charging device may determine a middle-speed-and-high-torque area of the second vehicle or the first vehicle as the second optimal operation point or the first optimal operation point.
