Robots help shared charging

"It's so convenient, which greatly solves the problem of charging electric vehicles in the community. The 'shared charging' system introduced in the community not only facilitates the residents, but also saves social resources." A few days ago, in Fenghui Yayuan Community, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province After the underground parking lot and the all-electric shared electric vehicle charging robot were put into operation, the residents of the community praised it one after another.

It was seen at the scene that from the top of the shared charging service area, a silver-white guide rail about 60 meters long runs through the 44 parking spaces in the area in series. An exquisite robot walks on the guide rail, and power sockets are installed above each parking space. . The car owner only needs to log in to the WeChat applet, fill in the parking space number, and then send a charging command to the track robot. The robot that received the instruction grabs an idle charging gun, moves to the rear of the electric car, and automatically puts down the charging gun. The owner can plug in the charging gun to charge the electric car.

According to Lu Bin, Director of the Marketing Department of State Grid Suzhou Power Supply Company, with the development of new energy vehicles, the trouble of finding a charging pile has become increasingly prominent. In order to solve the problem, Suzhou Power Supply Company took the lead in launching the shared charging mode of all-electric shared electric vehicles. The system turns the charging facility from the ground to the top of the head, and deploys a track on the top of the garage. It consists of three parts: a power socket, a charging gun and a mobile robot. The charging gun is precisely controlled to move to the designated parking space through robot control technology, Internet of Things technology and scheduling algorithms. Assist car owners to quickly charge, realize the transformation from "finding piles for cars" to "find cars for piles", and greatly improve the utilization efficiency of charging piles.

"The all-electric shared electric vehicle charging robot system is very suitable for the current domestic electric vehicle market environment." According to Zhang Zheng, deputy general manager of Suzhou Suneng Group, the project contractor, the system is installed in the underground parking lot of Fenghui Yayuan Community, Wujiang District. Putting it into use is exactly the specific practice of Suzhou Power Supply Company to dig deep into the market application of all-electric sharing electric vehicle charging robots and expand the scope of all-electric sharing business. Zhang Zheng introduced that the application of the concept of "full electric sharing" eliminates the need for residents to apply for installation, and realizes the automatic sharing of parking spaces and piles, which can solve the shortage of power consumption in residential areas, the difficulty of power access, and the utilization of piles Low rates and problems with parking management in residential areas.

In addition to bringing convenience to car owners, the system's "shared" charging mode also saves social resources. Zhang Zheng introduced that with the help of the all-electric shared charging mode, a fire compartment in the underground garage of the community only needs to be equipped with one robot to meet the charging needs of all parking spaces in the area. Shared car charging services have a wider range, and when the number of electric vehicles in the region changes, we can also flexibly increase or decrease according to the vehicle situation to meet the charging demand and reduce the investment cost of charging facilities.”

Compared with the traditional charging pile construction mode, the system can realize modular prefabrication whether it is rails, charging piles or robots, and simplify the construction process. The whole system is operated and managed by the operator or the property, which can make the charging process safer and more reliable.

In order to better support the development of new energy vehicles, Suzhou Power Supply Company will accelerate the application of charging robot systems in old communities, public shopping malls and other scenarios in the next step, so as to integrate electric power technology into a better life.
