Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mobile charging station for charging a vehicle in an underground mine is provided. The mobile charging station includes an electric input configured to receive an input voltage from an electrical network of a mine, at least one output configured to charge a battery of the vehicle connected to the output, a charging circuitry configured to provide electric power to the at least one output, and a voltage transformer arranged between the electric input and the charging circuitry, the voltage transformer being configured to transform the input voltage received via the electric input to a configured output voltage for the charging circuitry.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An arrangement in an underground mining environment comprising: a mobile charging station arranged for charging a vehicle in an underground mine, the mobile charging station comprising: an electric input configured to receive an input voltage from an electrical network of a mine: at least one output configured to charge a battery of the vehicle connected to the output; a charging circuitry configured to provide electric power to the at least one output; and a voltage transformer arranged between the electric input and the charging circuitry, the voltage transformer being configured to transform the input voltage received via the electric input to a configured output voltage for the charging circuitry, wherein the arrangement further comprises a cooling unit detachably connectable to the mobile charging station and being configured to cool at least one power electronics element of the mobile charging station, and wherein the mobile charging station further comprises a cooling unit power output configured to provide operating power for the cooling unit and a connecting means for connecting the cooling unit to the mobile charging station, and wherein the mobile charging station and the cooling unit are modules arranged to be stackable on top of each other or detachably connectable side by side and include attaching means with which the modules can be connected to each other. 2 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the voltage transformer comprises a multi-voltage transformer. 3 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the charging circuitry and the voltage transformer are configured in a single module. 4 . The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the voltage transformer is configured to be removably replaceable.
