Abstract

A detachable modulized battery charging assembly for electric vehicles is disclosed. The detachable modulized battery charging assembly includes a number of charging units for charging rechargeable batteries of electric vehicles while the rechargeable batteries are detachably inserted therein; a managing unit for controlling the charging units, recording charging statuses of the rechargeable batteries, and confirming identification of a user; and a user interface unit for communicating with the user. The charging units, the managing unit and the user interface unit are modulized and can be fixed together in different arrangements.

Claims (20)

1. A detachable modularized battery charging assembly, comprising:

a plurality of charging units, for charging a plurality of rechargeable batteries of electric vehicles while the rechargeable batteries are detachably inserted therein;

a managing unit, connected to each of the charging units, for controlling the charging units, recording charging statuses of the rechargeable batteries, and confirming identification of a user; and

a user interface unit, connected to the managing unit, for communicating with the user;

wherein the charging units, the managing unit and the user interface unit are modularized and are individually formed in rectangular cuboid shaped housings that are detachably stacked vertically and horizontally together to form an array of m×n of different arrangements, and m and n are integers.

2. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the user interface unit indicates which rechargeable battery is fully charged for the user to use.

3. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the charging units comprises a processor for retrieving data from the rechargeable battery.

4. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the charging units comprises an engaging element for engaging the rechargeable battery with the charging unit until an unlock instruction is received from the managing unit.

5. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the user interface unit comprises a monitor or a touch panel.

6. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the managing unit comprises a computer.

7. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the managing unit and the user interface unit are together formed in a first housing having a rectangular cuboid shape and can be stacked vertically and horizontally with the charging units which are individually formed in a second housing having a rectangular cuboid shape to form an array of m×n, and m and n are integers.

8. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a rack for accommodating the charging units, the managing unit and the user interface unit.

9. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the rack is divided into m×n sections, and m and n are integers.

10. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the charging units are individually placed in one of the sections.

11. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the managing unit and the user interface unit are placed in the same section together.

12. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the managing unit and the user interface unit are separately placed in two different sections.

13. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein multiple adjacent sections are combined into one region for accommodation of the managing unit and the user interface unit.

14. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein multiple adjacent sections are combined into one region for accommodation of multiple charging units.

15. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 9 , wherein multiple adjacent sections are combined into one region for accommodation of another charging unit having a size multiple of the size of the plurality of charging units.

16. The detachable modularized battery charging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of charging units have the same size.
