Description

VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE AMENAGE POUR RECEVOIR ET CHARGER UN MOYEN DE LOCOMOTION A MOTORISATION ELECTRIQUE,  A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR RECEIVING AND LOADING A MOTORIZED ELECTRIC MOTORIZATION MEANS,
TRANSPORTE PAR LEDIT VEHICULE  TRANSPORT BY THIS VEHICLE
[0001 ] La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française 1 160361 déposée le 15 novembre 201 1 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence. The present invention claims the priority of the French application 1 160361 filed November 15, 201 1 whose content (text, drawings and claims) is here incorporated by reference.
[ooo2] L'invention concerne les véhicules automobiles, ou des remorques tractées par des véhicules automobiles, aménagés pour transporter de petits véhicules dotés d'une motorisation électrique et disposant d'une source d'énergie électrique propre, d'autonomie déterminée. [Ooo2] The invention relates to motor vehicles, or trailers towed by motor vehicles, arranged to transport small vehicles with an electric motor and having a source of clean electric power, determined autonomy.
[0003] Cette motorisation électrique peut assurer seule la locomotion du véhicule ou assister la source principale de locomotion du véhicule. This electric motor can only ensure the locomotion of the vehicle or assist the main source of locomotion of the vehicle.
[ooo4] On connaît de nombreuses applications dans lesquelles un véhicule automobile est amené à transporter ou remorquer d'autres véhicules à motorisation électrique, désignés également dans la présente description, par moyens de locomotion à motorisation électrique. [Ooo4] There are many applications in which a motor vehicle is brought to transport or tow other electrically powered vehicles, also referred to in this description, by means of locomotion with electric motor.
[ooo5] Ainsi, le véhicule transporté, ou remorqué, par un véhicule porteur peut être un vélo électrique, un scooter électrique, une trottinette électrique, un véhicule électrique pour handicapé, un véhicule connu sous le nom commercial de Segway ®, une tondeuse électrique, ou tout autre véhicule terrestre, aérien, aquatique ou subaquatique à motorisation électrique apte à assurer la mobilité d'au moins une personne présente dans le véhicule transporteur ou pas. [ooo5] Thus, the vehicle transported, or towed, by a carrier vehicle may be an electric bike, an electric scooter, an electric scooter, an electric vehicle for the disabled, a vehicle known under the trade name Segway ®, an electric mower , or any other terrestrial, aerial, aquatic or underwater vehicle with electric motorization adapted to ensure the mobility of at least one person present in the carrier vehicle or not.
[ooo6] Il est connu, notamment du document JP3065554B2, et tel qu'illustré à la figure 1 , un véhicule porteur 1 transportant un véhicule électrique pour handicapé 2, de type tricycle, dont le guidon 3 est pliable pour pouvoir être logé dans l'espace interne d'un compartiment à bagage 4 situé à l'arrière de l'habitacle 5, derrière la dernière rangée de sièges 6. [Ooo6] It is known, particularly from JP3065554B2, and as shown in Figure 1, a carrier vehicle 1 carrying a disabled electric vehicle 2, tricycle type, the handlebar 3 is foldable to be housed in the vehicle. internal space of a luggage compartment 4 located at the rear of the passenger compartment 5, behind the last row of seats 6.
[ooo7] Une application préférée va aux véhicules de type vélos électriques, pliants ou pas, aptes à être logés dans le coffre d'un véhicule automobile, appelé véhicule porteur, qui est le véhicule habituellement utilisé pour les déplacements d'un usager. [ooo7] A favorite app is for electric bike type vehicles, folding or not, adapted to be housed in the trunk of a motor vehicle, called carrier vehicle, which is the vehicle usually used for the movements of a user.
[0008] Les motorisations électriques ont pour avantages d'être peu polluantes et de ne nécessiter qu'un faible encombrement d'où leur application privilégiée pour les vélos et autres petits véhicules de gabarit équivalent. The electric motors have the advantages of being low polluting and require a small footprint hence their preferred application for bicycles and other small vehicles of equivalent size.
[ooo9] La mobilité urbaine, et en particulier la mobilité urbaine dans les très grandes agglomérations saturées de véhicules à moteurs à combustion interne, tend à se diversifier. [ooo9] Urban mobility, and in particular urban mobility in very large agglomerations saturated with internal combustion engine vehicles, is tending to diversify.
[ooio] Cette diversification est motivée par différents critères parmi lesquels on peut citer : la saturation du trafic automobile, la préservation de l'environnement, le prix des carburants, ... avec comme réponse, une interdiction imposée ou tacite d'utiliser son véhicule pour des trajets quotidiens entre domicile et lieu de travail ; lieux de travails qui sont situés généralement au cœur ou au bord des grandes agglomérations, parfois mal desservies par les transports en commun. [ooio] This diversification is motivated by various criteria among which we can mention: the saturation of car traffic, the preservation of the environment, the price of fuel, ... with as a response, a ban imposed or tacit to use its vehicle for daily commutes between home and workplace; Workplaces that are generally located in the heart or at the edge of large cities, sometimes poorly served by public transport.
[ooi i] Beaucoup d'usagers sont contraints de laisser leurs véhicules dans les parkings des gares proches de leurs domiciles pour ensuite emprunter les transports en commun et finir leur trajet à pieds jusqu'à leur lieu de travail. Ce trajet à pieds peut être remplacé avantageusement par l'utilisation d'un moyen de locomotion individuel ad hoc. [ooi i] Many users are forced to leave their vehicles in the car parks of stations close to their homes to then take public transport and finish their journey on foot to their place of work. This walk can be advantageously replaced by the use of an individual means of locomotion ad hoc.
[ooi2] Le peu de place disponible dans les transports en commun implique d'utiliser un moyen de locomotion individuel à faible encombrement et donc de préférence pliable tel qu'un vélo ou une trottinette pliante. [ooi2] The limited space available in public transport involves using an individual means of locomotion with small footprint and therefore preferably foldable such as a bike or a folding scooter.
[0013] Dans la suite de la description, et par commodité, nous utiliserons le terme vélo pour désigner tout type de petits moyens de locomotion individuel à motorisation électrique. In the following description, and for convenience, we will use the term bike to designate any type of small means of locomotion individual electric motor.
[ooi4] Pour faciliter l'utilisation des vélos, certains d'entre eux sont dotés d'une motorisation électrique assurant seule le déplacement du vélo, ou assistant le cycliste pour le déplacement du vélo. [ooi4] To facilitate the use of bicycles, some of them are equipped with an electric motor only ensuring the movement of the bike, or assist the cyclist to move the bike.
[0015] Comme tout véhicule électrique, son autonomie est déterminée principalement par la capacité de stockage des stockeurs d'énergie électriques embarqués par le vélo. As any electric vehicle, its autonomy is determined primarily by the storage capacity of electrical energy storage onboard by the bike.
[0016] L'état de charge des stockeurs du vélo doit donc être régulièrement contrôlé et réajusté avant chaque trajet, ce qui peut devenir une contrainte. The state of charge of bicycle storage must therefore be regularly checked and readjusted before each trip, which can become a constraint.
[ooi 7] La présente invention apporte une solution avantageuse à cette problématique et propose un véhicule automobile comportant un circuit d'alimentation électrique du véhicule, un habitacle et un compartiment, ou support, destiné au transport d'un moyen de locomotion à motorisation électrique doté de moyens de stockage d'énergie électrique, ledit compartiment, ou support, faisant partie du véhicule ou étant attenant audit véhicule. [Ooi 7] The present invention provides an advantageous solution to this problem and proposes a motor vehicle comprising a vehicle power supply circuit, a passenger compartment and a compartment, or support, for the transport of an electrically powered means of locomotion provided with means for storing electrical energy, said compartment, or support, forming part of the vehicle or being adjacent to said vehicle.
[0018] Le véhicule selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une interface de charge des moyens de stockage d'énergie électrique du moyen de locomotion à transporter, ladite interface étant couplée au circuit d'alimentation électrique du véhicule. The vehicle according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a charging interface of the electrical energy storage means of the locomotion means to be transported, said interface being coupled to the vehicle power supply circuit.
[0019] L'invention a pour but d'offrir une solution de mobilité complémentaire à celle d'un véhicule automobile traditionnel, tout en bénéficiant de la source d'énergie électrique déjà présente dans le véhicule porteur pour alimenter les consommateurs électriques du véhicule. The invention aims to provide a complementary mobility solution to that of a traditional motor vehicle, while benefiting from the source of electrical energy already present in the carrier vehicle to power the electrical consumers of the vehicle.
[0020] L'invention apporte une réponse simple et peu coûteuse aux attentes grandissantes en matière de mobilité urbaine. The invention provides a simple and inexpensive response to growing expectations in terms of urban mobility.
[0021 ] Le véhicule selon l'invention peut comporter d'autres caractéristiques qui peuvent être prises séparément ou en combinaison, et notamment : The vehicle according to the invention may comprise other features that can be taken separately or in combination, and in particular:
[0022] L'interface de charge comporte des moyens pour détecter la présence du moyen de locomotion et une interface sensorielle apte à restituer l'information de détection de présence. [0023] L'interface de charge comporte des moyens pour mesurer l'état de charge des moyens de stockage d'énergie électrique du moyen de locomotion et une interface sensorielle apte à restituer l'information d'état de charge.

[0074] Ainsi, le moyen de locomotion à motorisation autonome et électrique, transporté par le véhicule, bien que de préférence de petite taille pour répondre à une utilisation de mobilité urbaine, peut être également un véhicule de taille normale si on considère, par exemple que le véhicule transporteur est un véhicule utilitaire léger voire même un poids lourd. Thus, the means of locomotion with autonomous and electric motorization, transported by the vehicle, although preferably small to respond to urban mobility use, can also be a vehicle of normal size if we consider, for example that the carrier vehicle is a light commercial vehicle or even a heavy weight.
[0075] Le dimensionnement des stockeurs d'énergie électrique présents dans le véhicule porteur pourra être proportionnel au besoin de charge du ou des véhicules transportés. The sizing of the electrical energy storage units present in the carrier vehicle may be proportional to the load requirement of the transported vehicle (s).
[0076] Le véhicule automobile porteur peut être vu, en complément de sa fonction habituelle de transport de passagers, comme une station mobile de charge d'un véhicule transporté, avec une gestion intelligente de l'énergie électrique disponible à bord du véhicule automobile transporteur. The carrier vehicle can be seen, in addition to its usual function of passenger transport, as a mobile station charge of a transported vehicle, with intelligent management of the electric power available on board the motor vehicle carrier.
[0077] Le besoin en énergie électrique du véhicule transporté à recharger devant rester compatible avec la capacité de stockage embarquée par le véhicule transporteur tout en répondant au besoin en énergie électrique des consommateurs embarqués par le véhicule porteur. The electrical energy requirement of the transported vehicle to be recharged must remain compatible with the on-board storage capacity of the carrier vehicle while meeting the need for electrical energy of consumers on board the carrier vehicle.
