Abstract

Facility for parking and recharging electrical vehicles. It comprises platforms (1) where electrical vehicles (2) are parked and/or kept connected to the electricity supply, means for keeping (3) said platforms horizontal in all the positions of the facility and access for vehicles to the inside of facility (14).

Claims

1. Facility for parking and recharging electrical vehicles of the type comprising platforms (1) where electrical vehicles (2) or batteries are parked and/or kept connected to the electricity supply, means for keeping (3) said platforms horizontal in all the positions in the facility and an access for vehicles or batteries to the inside of facility (14) characterised in that it comprises:

at least two rings per platform (5, 7) that are arranged opposite and parallel to one another, with the next immediate ring (6) to a given one (5), belonging to another platform (8), or being partially in front of or partially behind said ring (5),

at least two groups of two guiding tracks, a first (9) and a second (10), where given ring (5) is positioned on first track (9) and next immediate ring (6) is positioned on second track (10),

driving means (11) for said rings (5, 6, 7) that allow said facility to move said rings (5, 6, 7),

electrical connection and recharging means (12) for rechargeable batteries on at least one platform or with them all connected together via conductor relays,

electrical energy accumulator means (13) that store and supply energy to the electrical recharging means,

so that while vehicles (2) or batteries are parked inside facility (14), the rechargeable batteries are being charged by smart electrical recharging means (12).

2. Facility, according to claim 1, characterised in that when entering via access (15) inside facility (14) electrical recharging means for rechargeable batteries (12) are stopped.

3. Facility, according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that it comprises means for changing rechargeable batteries (20) of vehicles (2).

4. Facility, according to claim 3, characterised in that said means (20) behave vertically at the bottom of vehicle (2).

5. Facility, according to claim 3, characterised in that the battery changeover is horizontal at the side, front or rear of vehicle (2).

6. Facility, according to claim 3 or 4 or 5, characterised in that it comprises a U-shaped container 22 carrying batteries, with guides 23.

7. Facility, according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises weight and/or position sensors for vehicles (2) and platforms (4).

8. Facility, according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that facility (14) is at least partially underground.

9. Facility, according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that facility 14 is a modular and stackable.
