Abstract

The invention relates to the field of movable charging vehicles, and specifically provides a start locking system for a movable charging vehicle. The invention aims to overcome the defect that the movable charging vehicle can still be started and moved during the being charging and charging of an onboard energy storage system. The start locking system of the invention comprises: a start loop, the movable charging vehicle being able to start when the start loop is switched on; and a first detection element for identifying whether an onboard energy storage system is able to enter an operating state, with the first detection element accessing the start loop, wherein the first detection element disconnects the start loop when the onboard energy storage system is able to enter an operating state. With the above structure, the start locking system of the invention can lock the start of the movable charging vehicle during the being charging and charging of the onboard energy storage system, thereby improving the safety performance of the movable charging vehicle.

Claims (24)

1. A start locking system for a movable charging vehicle, the start locking system comprising:

a start loop, the movable charging vehicle being able to start when the start loop is switched on; and

a first detection element for identifying whether an onboard energy storage system is able to enter an operating state, with the first detection element accessing the start loop,

wherein the first detection element disconnects the start loop when the onboard energy storage system is able to enter an operating state.

2. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the first detection element comprises a plurality of detection members, and at least one of the plurality of detection members accesses, in series, the start loop.

3. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the detection member is a travel switch arranged in the onboard energy storage system, and normally-open contacts of a plurality of the travel switches access, in series, the start loop.

4. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the onboard energy storage system is provided with an input socket and/or an output socket, the input socket and/or the output socket are/is provided with a cover plate, the change in position of the cover plate relative to the onboard energy storage system enables the input socket and/or the output socket to be exposed to the environment, and the onboard energy storage system is able to enter the operating state if the input socket and/or the output socket are/is exposed to the environment; and

wherein the travel switch is positioned on the onboard energy storage system such that it can detect the change in position of the cover plate relative to the onboard energy storage system.

5. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the input socket and/or the output socket are/is arranged on a side plate of at least one side of the onboard energy storage system.

6. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of the input sockets and/or the output sockets are respectively arranged on a first side of the onboard energy storage system and a second side opposite to the first side, and each of the input sockets and/or the output sockets is provided with a cover plate.

7. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

8. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

9. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the normally-closed contact and the first detection element access, in series, the start loop.

10. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

11. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

12. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

13. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

14. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the start locking system further comprises a second detection element for identifying whether the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state, and disconnecting the start loop if the onboard energy storage system enters an operating state.

15. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

16. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

17. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

18. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

19. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the second detection element is a relay, the relay being arranged in an onboard main control power source of the onboard energy storage system, and a normally-closed contact of the relay accessing the start loop.

20. The start locking system for a movable charging vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the normally-closed contact and the first detection element access, in series, the start loop.
