Abstract

Disclosed herein is a battery charging system of an electric vehicle charging station, the battery charging system including: a charging unit configured to supply an electrical power to charge a battery of an electric vehicle; a charging cable connected to the charging unit and having a connector attached thereto to correspond to an inlet of the electric vehicle; and a cooling unit disposed at a location where the electric vehicle is parked in charging to supply a cooling air toward the battery of the electric vehicle.

Claims (19)

1. A battery charging system of an electric vehicle charging station, the battery charging system comprising:

a charging unit configured to supply an electrical power to charge a battery of an electric vehicle;

a charging cable connected to the charging unit and having a connector attached thereto to correspond to an inlet of the electric vehicle; and

a cooling unit disposed at a location where the electric vehicle is parked in charging to supply a cooling air toward the battery of the electric vehicle,

wherein the cooling unit is a blowing fan disposed with a face upward from the ground to blow the cooling air to a bottom of the electric vehicle.

2. The battery charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling unit is installed to be buried in the ground where the electric vehicle is parked.

3. The battery charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling unit is operated during a charging process to blow the cooling air.

4. The battery charging system according to claim 3 , wherein a controller for controlling an operation of the cooling unit is provided to the charging unit.

5. A battery charging system of an electric vehicle charging station, the battery charging system comprising:

a charging unit configured to supply an electrical power to charge a battery of an electric vehicle;

a charging cable connected to the charging unit and having a connector attached thereto to correspond to an inlet of the electric vehicle;

a cooling unit disposed at a location where the electric vehicle is parked in charging to supply a cooling air toward the battery of the electric vehicle; and

a cooling stage provided in the ground at the location where the electric vehicle is parked to accommodate the cooling unit.

6. The battery charging system according to claim 5 , wherein the cooling stage includes:

a stage body buried in the ground at the location where the electric vehicle is parked; and

a moving unit provided at the stage body to move a location of the cooling unit.

7. The battery charging system according to claim 6 , wherein the moving unit moves the cooling unit in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to the ground.

8. The battery charging system according to claim 6 , wherein the cooling stage includes a heat sensing unit provided at the stage body to sense a heat of the electric vehicle.

9. The battery charging system according to claim 6 , wherein the cooling stage includes a gate configured to open or close the ground depending on whether or not the cooling unit is operating.
