Description

DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to clean mobility transportation where the sources of energy are environmental friendly.

BACKGROUND ART

Today we are more and more concerned about the pollution caused by many industries. The global warming has influences in many aspect of life. People have a certain level standard of living which they don't want to give away. Driving to work with a car is more comfortable than taking a public transport, but thaf s when the problem begins. Since the first petrol car drove on the road, there isn't much fundamental changes and improvement from the conventional vehicles. The CO2 emission from every car is a main factor for the global warming. The Arctic polar ice cap is melting at an alarming rate, as a result of human caused global warming. Changes in polar ice can alter ocean chemistry, circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans, and world weather systems, causing consequently natural disasters such as Tsunami. Big cities today have a difficult time with the level of pollution and also with the noise made by the engines of cars, truck and buses. The question here is how to live in a better environment, where we can have a good health, breathing clean air and still have the joy with the facilities of a car, without having to worry about the pollution?

The EV (Electric Vehicle) system which is pure electric uses a battery for traction and needs 4- 6 hours to charge the battery which makes impossible for a daily use, that's why its use is limited. The Fuel Cell Vehicle and the Hybrid Fuel Cell Vehicle are expensive and they are not able to come to the market with a reasonable price. What is certain is that for at least the next five years these technologies are not going to be explored by the population. Up to now, it's unknown if the battery technology and the fuel cell technology will be the best for the future.

All type of vehicles nowadays need to be manually operated, to refuel the fuel or to refuel the hydrogen or even to charge the batteries which is extremely dangerous for a human being. The batteries have a high voltage of about 40Ov and high ampere. Today the person arrives in a gas station he or she needs to get out of the vehicle to refuel and to pay. It is inconvenient to step out of the vehicle. In order to cope with the problem above, Jamshid Arian Assl N^δ 028381,Date Feb 9.2003

(Ariana 792 Commuter System) - Fig.6. proposes a vehicle with a system that doesn't pollute the environment. The Ariana 792 battery pack could be charged or be changed in a small dock automatically, without any manual operation. All the other manufactures or scientists, allover the world, charged the battery with a cable plug.

In the above system it took 6 hours to charge and 5 minutes to change the battery pack, so in 2004 Jamshid Arian Assl NS 2004303232,Date July 24.2004 (Intelligent charging System) invented the Intelligent Electric Vehicle 796 - Fig 7. which enabled the battery pack to be charged or changed fully automatically in an Intelligent Charging Station in only 6 minutes. The vehicle had autonomy of 300km range and a top speed of 160km/h. The IEV 796 was successfully tested in the 12^th February 2004 in Australia.

In the system above the only source of energy was the battery pack, so Jamschid Arian Assl, created a new model of Intelligent Electric Fuel Cell Vehicle N 920066100391, M ay 11.2006 (Intelligent Solar Fuel Cell electric Vehicle - Fig 8. ) which charges or changes the battery pack fully automatic in 6 minutes and the hydrogen refueling is done in 5 minutes manually.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is the first in the world to have accomplished to provide with a fully automatic system called Ariana Intelligent Transportation System "AITS". It is a clean mobility transportation system which combines the IEV (Intelligent Electric Vehicle) or IEFCV (Intelligent Electric Fuel Cell Vehicle) with the AICS (Ariana Intelligent Charging Station). See Figure 1.

What we find in the market now are Fuel Vehicle, Electric vehicle "EV" and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle "FCEV". The invention improved every aspect of each of those possibilities. The Key action of this innovation is to provide the world with reliable, clean, efficient, safe & economic transportation system.

The EV (Electric Vehicle) system which is pure electric uses a battery for traction and needs 4- 6 hours to charge the battery which makes impossible for a daily use, that's why its use is limited. But the IEV - IEFCV provides enough energy when charged intelligently and automatically in an AICS in only six minute. An IEV can travel about 300 km and an IEFCV travels about 500 km. The top speed of the IEV - IEFCV can go up to 160 km/h. That's why we call the invention Intelligent Electric Vehicle and not only Electric Vehicle or Electric Fuel Cell Vehicle.

The IEV - IEFCV have two possibilities: method A & method B. Both methods can provide energy fully automatic without any manual operation. The method A is to recharge the battery and refuel the hydrogen. The method B is to change the battery in case this one is old or has a problem of efficiency. This method refuels the hydrogen tank first and then changes the 32 kw/h battery pack of the vehicle in only 6 minutes and the life of a battery is about 3-5 years and the AICS changes it automatically and fast.

With AITS it's possible to chose battery technology or fuel cell technology or even both technologies anytime and the mass production of the IEV - IEFCV will enable an economically price now. The launch of the invention is scheduled for the end of 2008 and the mass production will start in the beginning of 2009.

With AITS (Ariana Intelligent Transportation System) & global agreement with governments around the world, the AICS (Ariana Intelligent Charging Station) should be implemented in the countries every 200 km distance and people could drive from one country to another country in the same day without worrying about charging time.

This is an ideal range in comparison with the average daily driving journeys from 40 to 60 km. The special characteristic of this intelligent system is the six minutes battery charging or changing time. This is even shorter than the refueling time needed by a fuel vehicle. Therefore, the major problem of charging battery in electric vehicle, which is about 4-6 hours, has been eliminated. With the IEV-IEFCV, the payment method is easy, all the costs are debited from the bank as soon as the smartcard is introduced in the dashboard and send the data from the AECSl (Ariana Electronic Controller System) (in the vehicle) to the AECS2 (in the Ariana Intelligent Charging System) which sends the data to the bank. If the bank accepts the operation, the AICS starts to work as chosen by the driver. The process of sending and receiving the data takes up to maximum 10 seconds.

With AITS the security aspect is guaranteed, the IEV-IEFCV enters the charging station to recharge or to change the battery pack and the data from the smartcard is sent from the AECSl (in the car) to the AECS2 (in the AICS). Then the AECS2 sends the information to the police office that checks if the vehicle has any report. In the case where there are reports, the IEV-IEFCV electric brakes are not released and the car is blocked at the dock, the police can find the location of the AICS and attain the station. The process of sending and receiving the data takes up to maximum 10 seconds.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

When the driver enters in the AICS (Arian Intelligent Charging Station) he should put the vehicle to follow a rail placed on the floor, when the vehicle is in the right position a green light is on.

The driver pulls up the hand brake and inserts the smartcard in the dashboard.

The AECSl (Ariana electronic controller system) is placed in the vehicle and sends the data to the AECS2 placed in the AICS (Ariana Intelligent Charging System). The information of the owner of the car, the battery energy needed and hydrogen storage is sent first to the AECS2. Yellow lights turns on when the data is received by the AECS2 then an automatically AICS brake system locks the position of the vehicle with 4 arms that blocks the 2 front and 2 rear wheels. The engine turns off automatically.

The data in then sent to the police office and to the bank.

The acceptance of both data (bank and police office) is sent back to the AECS2 that sends immediately to the AECSl. This process takes 10 seconds.

A question appears on the 12" color screen placed in the dashboard in front of the driver. The driver has 2 choices between 2 methods:

Method A - This option is to charge 55% to 85% of the 32kw/h battery pack depending on the battery type and refuel the hydrogen tank in only 6 minutes. Method B - This option is to fully refuel the hydrogen tank and then change the old battery pack by the new 100% charged battery pack in 6 minutes.

The method A, an IEV-IEFCV safety electric door on top of the vehicle opens automatically.

The hydraulic jack (fig.4) detects by a laser control from the data interface 'sendeK if the vehicle is in the right position. The hydraulic jack brings plate A from top of the AICS to connect on plate B placed in the IEV- IEFCV. In each of the plate there are 8 points of connection:

• Plate A (Fig. 4)

Connection 1 and 2 are the arms of hydraulic jack - Connection 3 is the data interface 'sender^*

Connection 4 is the hydrogen refueling tube Connection 5,6,7 and 8 are the charging contactors

• Plate B (Fig. 4)

Connection 1 are 2 are the electric locks - Connection 3 is the data interface 'receiver^*

Connection 4 is the hydrogen refueling set Connection 5,6,7 and 8 are the charging contactors

The arms 1 and 2 of the plate A are locked by electric locks placed on plate B. The data connection always controls all the process of the system. The charging process begins and the hydrogen tank is at the same time being refueled by the

4^th point of connection on both plates. The system can charge 55% to 85% of the battery pack in 6 minutes, depending of the battery, of the driver or of the AICS system program.

When charge and refuel is done, the hydraulic jack returns to its original position at the AICS (Arian Intelligent Charging Station) and the IEV-IEFCV safety electric door closes. The brakes are released and the engine turns on automatically.

Green light turns on and the driver can leave the AICS.

The method B (Fig. 4), an IEV-IEFCV safety electric door on top of the vehicle opens automatically.

The hydraulic jack detects by a laser control from the data interface 'sender^* if the vehicle is in the right position.

The hydraulic jack brings plate A from top of the AICS to connect on plate B placed in the IEV- IEFCV (Figure 4).

The arms 1 and 2 of the plate A are locked by electric locks placed on plate B. The data connection always controls all the process of the system. The hydrogen tank is refueled first. After 4 minutes the hydraulic jack brings the IEV-IEFCV battery up and places it on the rail B (Figure 4)

The hydraulic jack takes the new IEV-IEFCV battery from the rail B and places it in the vehicle. When hydrogen tank is refueled and the IEV-IEFCV battery is changed in 6 minutes, the hydraulic jack returns to its original position at the AICS and the IEV-IEFCV safety electric door closes. The brakes are released and the engine turns on automatically.

Green light turns on and the driver can leave the AICS.
