Further, the regenerative battery constantly monitors its operation status by battery monitoring means installed on the battery user side as necessary, and transmits the monitoring data to the battery management server via the network to recognize the monitoring data. Therefore, the battery management server management company can reliably and easily obtain the data (information) for judging the deterioration status of the regenerative battery during operation, such as the voltage, current, and temperature of the regenerative battery installed in the battery user. For example, a battery user who uses a regenerative battery must avoid and satisfactorily avoid the problem that the load is adversely affected by the deterioration of the function of the battery itself due to the management of the regenerative battery. Can do. In addition, since the operation status of the regenerative battery is transmitted to the battery management server in real time or periodically, the management operator checks the regenerative battery monitoring data transmitted at the battery management server, It is possible to easily know the operating status of the regenerative battery. For example, even if the battery user neglects to check the battery power storage device that uses the regenerative battery as a power source, the operating status of the regenerative battery can be accurately grasped by monitoring data. In this way, the battery user has the advantage of easily releasing problems such as the replacement time of the regenerative battery from the troublesome management of using the regenerative battery.

  Further, in the present invention, the used battery or the regenerated battery attribute data of the used battery is processed into a database together with the used battery supplier ID and the reproduction company ID related to the used / recycled battery to supply the used battery. Since the battery management server is equipped with a means for automatically creating information and management information of the regenerated battery, for example, a used battery supplier can check which specifications of the battery market by browsing the used battery supply information. Whether you are looking for a used battery, or whether your own used battery is required in the market, or a used battery that can be accepted, and a battery that requires a regenerative battery The user wants Whether or not recycled batteries are distributed in the market can be easily confirmed by browsing the “used battery supply information” or “battery management information” by accessing the battery management server. In other words, it is convenient that a battery necessary for the user can be obtained immediately or a battery that has been reprocessed can be easily used.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the operation status of the regenerative battery is monitored by the battery monitoring means, and the monitoring (detection) data is transmitted to the battery management server and displayed as regenerative battery monitoring information on this server. Separately from the battery replacement information, the battery management server knows in advance how long the overvoltage is detected when charging the regenerative battery based on the monitoring data in advance. The detection value is created in advance as a database for predicting the life of the regenerative battery, and each time the monitoring data is transmitted to the battery management server, the monitoring data and the life prediction database are collated, and the contents of the monitoring data How long can the rechargeable battery be used in response to Ukoto it is possible to easily predict. By transmitting this life prediction result to battery users and playback companies as battery life prediction information, battery users can know in advance when to prepare the next battery. This is convenient because it can easily cope with a sudden decline in the function of the regenerative battery.

  In the present invention, as a battery management server program for executing the battery reproduction / distribution system, the program is stored in a recording medium such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a semiconductor memory provided in the computer of the battery management server. The battery management server computer system can easily provide and collect predetermined battery information via the transmission means, as well as being able to grasp various battery information at a glance at the terminals of each battery-related person. Therefore, since the recycling battery can be distributed to the market and the information can be transmitted quickly and economically, the reuse of the used battery can be easily promoted, which is convenient.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a battery regeneration / distribution system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a battery management server (hereinafter referred to as a server) for operating the system of the present invention. A used battery supplier (hereinafter referred to as a battery supplier), 3 is a recycler that recycles used batteries, 4 is a battery user who uses regenerated batteries reprocessed to recycle used batteries, and 5 is the server. 1 represents the management company that maintains and manages the battery 1, the battery provider 2, the reproduction company 3, the battery user 4, and the management company 5 each access the server 1 via the network 6 and send it from the server 1. Are connected to each other with terminals 21, 31, 41, 51 capable of receiving Luo Each terminal 21, 31, 41, 51 is constituted by a well-known example, a personal computer.

  Next, functions of the server 1 will be described. This server 1 basically has a function for constructing a database of battery-related persons and various used / recycled batteries, disclosure of operation information of the regenerated battery and various battery information using the database, and required battery relations. Function that can send and receive battery information individually to each of the users (battery supplier 2, regeneration company 3, battery user 4, management company 5), and the operation status of the regeneration battery detected by the battery monitoring means A function for displaying the monitoring data indicating the battery life, grasping in advance the replacement time of the regenerative battery based on the monitoring data and the monitoring data, and transmitting it to the battery personnel, and the life of the regenerative battery during operation Battery life information and the battery replacement information. Is constructed by a function or the like to be transmitted to the battery parties as well as.

  The server 1 is provided with specific means for operating the various functions as shown in FIG. 1 includes battery attribute data input from the battery attribute data input means 21a, 31a, 41a of the terminals 21, 31, 41 of the battery supplier 2, the playback company 3, and the battery user 4. Receiving means (not shown). Each of these means is executed in a program and realized by a computer (not shown) on the server 1 side storing the program. Next, various means incorporated in the server 1 will be described. First, in FIG. 1, a battery-related person registration means 11 is a means by which a battery supplier 2, a reproduction company 3, and a battery user 4 can individually register in the server 1, and specifically, the battery The supplier 2 etc. accesses the server 1 and performs its own registration procedure. When the registration procedure is accepted, the server 1 registers each registrant with an ID (IDENTIFICATION) number, and each battery-related Management.

  Now, for example, when registering the battery supplier 2 in the server 1, the used battery attribute data input means 21 a of the battery supplier side terminal 21 is operated to change the format of “used battery supplier” shown in FIG. Called and displayed on the terminal 21 from the server 1 and displayed in the format shown in FIG. 3 (supplier name, address, telephone number, ... used battery type, capacity, number, years of use) Are sequentially input and transmitted to the server 1.

  When predetermined items are entered in the format of “used battery supplier” shown in FIG. 3, the server 1 registers the battery supplier 2 as described above, and the battery supplier 2 and the used battery to be supplied. The ID number (used battery supplier ID, used battery ID) is attached to each, and the battery supplier 2 and used batteries are registered and managed. As a result, for example, when it is desired to know the type of used battery or the battery supplier 2 that owns the used battery, the management company 5, the reproduction company 3, and the battery user 4 operate their terminals. By accessing the server 1 and searching for a used battery registered in the server 1 or by browsing “used battery supply information” described later disclosed in the server 1, The battery supplier 2 can easily know (confirm) information on used batteries that are owned or supplied.

  Next, registration of the playback company 3 to the server 1 will be described. This recycling company 3 is a company that processes used batteries so that they can be reused. By registering with the server 1, the recycling company 3 clarifies the types (types, etc.) of used batteries that it can recycle. is there. For registration, as in the case of the battery supplier 2, the playback battery attribute data input means 31 a of the terminal 31 is operated to be disclosed in the server 1, for example, “playback business” shown in FIG. The format is called and displayed on its own terminal 31, and predetermined items are input into the format of FIG. 4 and transmitted to the server 1.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the business name, address, telephone number,... Type of battery that can be processed, capacity, manufacturer, etc. are input and transmitted to the server 1, the server 1 As described above, the reproduction company 3 is given an ID number (reproduction company ID), and the reproduction company 3 and the kind of used battery that can be reproduced by the reproduction company 3 are registered and managed.

  Further, the registration of the battery user 4 to the server 1 is performed in the same manner as the registration of the battery supplier 2 and the reproduction company 3. That is, the battery user 4 operates the battery attribute data input means 41 a of the terminal 41 to call the “battery user” format shown in FIG. 5 disclosed in the server 1, input predetermined items, and transmit to the server 1. To do.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user name, address, telephone number,..., The manufacturer, model, capacity, number, etc. of the battery used are input and transmitted to the server 1, that is, the “battery” When a predetermined item is input in the format of “user”, the server 1 gives an ID number (battery user ID) to the battery user 4, and if the battery user 4 uses a regenerative battery, the server 1 Also, an ID number (reproduction battery ID) is attached and registration / management is performed.

  As described above, the battery supplier 2 performs the input operation to the server 1 by operating the used battery attribute data input means 21a with the terminal 21 at the battery supplier 2, and the reproduction operator 3 The battery user 4 operates by operating the battery attribute data input means 31a by the terminal 41. Further, the battery user 4 operates by executing the battery attribute data input means 41a by the terminal 41, and inputs by the input means 21a, 31a, 41a. The predetermined items received are received by a receiving means (not shown) of the server 1 via the network 6 and are registered with ID numbers for each battery-related person and various batteries related to the battery-related person. Needless to say. In addition, each of the terminals 21, 31, 41 included in the battery supplier 2, the reproduction company 3, and the battery user 4 registered in the server 1 has various battery information (for example, Battery information receiving / displaying means for receiving and displaying various battery information transmitted (transmitted) from the server 1 individually via the network 6, such as information on used batteries and regenerated batteries) Of course, 21b, 31b, and 41d are individually provided.

  Next, the battery attribute data storage unit 12 incorporated in the server 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. This battery attribute data storage means 12 includes used battery attribute data (manufacturer, model, capacity, number of units, years of use) that can be provided by the battery supplier 2 described in the format of “used battery supplier”. , ..., etc.) and the attribute data of the used battery that can be reprocessed by the recycler 3 described in the format of "recycler", and each attribute data of the regenerated battery that has been used to recycle the used battery (Refer to the specifications of the battery that can be played back in the format shown in FIGS. 4 and 9 or the battery that has been played back.) Further, the playback battery currently used by the battery user 4 described in the “battery user” format Attribute data (see the specifications of the regenerative battery shown in the format of FIG. 5), Re used battery supplier ID, playback operator ID, along with the battery user ID, are stored as a database incorporated into each battery. Note that the management company 5 operates the input means 51a of the terminal 51 and inputs it to the server 1 for the management company 5 or the rechargeable battery stored at the request of the management company 5 as necessary. Even in this case, it is stored as data of the regenerative battery.

  In the server 1, when used battery attribute data is input from the battery supplier 2 to the server 1 and stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12, for example, the server 1 stores the stored battery attribute data in the stored battery attribute data. Based on this, the “used battery supply information” shown in FIG. 6 is automatically generated by extracting used battery attribute data by the used battery information extracting means 18 incorporated in the server 1, and this is related to the battery via the network 6. It is used for browsing by people. In the “used battery supply information”, as shown in the format of FIG. 6, specifications of used batteries, used battery IDs, used battery supplier IDs, and the like input from the battery supplier 2 to the server 1 are described. . Further, the “battery management information” shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12 by the regenerative battery information extraction unit 19 incorporated in the server 1 in the same manner as the creation of the “used battery supply information”. The reproduction company 3 extracts and automatically creates the attribute data of the regenerated battery obtained by regenerating the used battery. The “used battery supply information” and “battery management information” are registered in the server 1 each time the battery supplier 2 or the regeneration company 3 inputs various information on the used battery or the regeneration battery into the server 1. Based on the attribute data for each used / recycled battery described in each format of “used battery supplier” and “battery regeneration checklist” created for use, the management company 5 itself makes a terminal as necessary The “used battery supply information” and “battery management information” may be created by operating the input means 51 a of 51 and disclosed to the server 1 via the network 6.

  In addition to the above, in the case where a regenerative battery having a different specification from the battery currently used by the battery user 4 is required for another power supply device or the like, for example, “battery user request battery shown in FIG. When the “list” is created by the battery attribute data input means 41a and is input to the server 1 (performed by the battery user 4), the specifications of the required batteries described in the format of the “battery user required battery list” Battery attribute data requested (required) by the battery user 4 is stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 of the server 1 together with the battery user ID. In the “battery user request battery list”, as shown in the format of FIG. 7, the battery user ID, user name, address, battery specifications, and the like are described. When the battery user 4 finishes inputting the “battery user requested battery list” to the server 1, it is transmitted to the server 1, and the server 1 searches for the requested battery described in the “battery user requested battery list”. This is done by the attribute data matching means 13.

  Next, the attribute data collating means 13 incorporated in the server 1 will be described. For example, the attribute data collating means 13 is connected to the server 1 by operating the attribute data for each battery stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 and the battery attribute data input means 41 a of the terminal 41 of the battery user 4. When access is made and the attribute data of the battery requested (searched) by the “battery user request battery list” is compared and matched, “flag” is added to the attribute data of the battery stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12. ”And is stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12. That is, whether the used battery or regenerated battery attribute data required by the battery user 4 exists in the used battery or regenerated battery attribute data stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12. Are sequentially read and matched with the attribute data of the battery required by the battery user 4, the attribute data itself is attached with a “flag” and stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 again. If the attribute data with the flag is a used battery, the battery attribute data storage means 12 stores whether or not the used battery attribute data that can be reprocessed by the playback company 3 is stored. If they match in the reading collation, the used battery attribute data is attached with a “flag” and stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 as described above.

  The attribute data collating means 13 creates the “battery user requested battery list” and searches the server 1 via the network 6 when searching for used or regenerated batteries that the battery user 4 needs by itself, for example. The attribute data collating means 13 is activated by a search operation of the battery user 4, reads out the attribute data of each battery stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12, If the read-out battery attribute data is a used battery, it is checked (searched) whether or not there is a reproduction company 3 suitable for the reproduction process of the battery, and the battery attribute data corresponding to the search is checked. If there is a battery attribute data A means for storing the 憶 unit 12.

  Subsequently, the attribute data transmission means 14 incorporated in the server 1 includes used or regenerated battery attribute data required by the battery user 4 and the used battery supplier ID and the reproduction business in the battery attribute data storage means 12. When the attribute data of the battery stored together with the operator ID is matched by the verification of the attribute data verification unit 13 and stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12 with a flag, or when the playback operator 3 The attribute data of the used battery that can be processed (stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12) and the attribute data of the used battery required by the battery user 4 are matched by the attribute data matching means 13. As described above, the battery attribute data storage means 12 has a flag When the data is added and stored, the battery corresponding to the attribute data is read from the battery attribute data storage means 12, and the battery information reception / display of the battery user 4 side terminal 41 requiring the used or regenerated battery is read. Information on the attribute data of the battery indicating that the battery required by the battery user 4 is present in the means 41d, and the battery information reception / display means 31b of the reproduction provider side terminal 31 are subjected to reproduction processing by itself. This is a means for transmitting notice information indicating that there is a used battery that can be handled and that the reproduction company 3 is requested to perform the reproduction process when the reproduction process is necessary. When the used or regenerated battery required by the battery user 4 cannot be searched by the attribute data collating means 13 (when the attribute data of the battery is not stored), for example, “the corresponding battery is It goes without saying that the message “not stored in the server 1” can be transmitted to the battery user 4 by the attribute data transmission means 14.

  This is because the presence / absence of used / recycled batteries required by the battery user 4 can be confirmed immediately by accessing the server 1, and the regeneration operator for used battery regeneration. 3 is a means for immediately knowing who is suitable. In addition, when the battery required by the battery user 4 is found, the management company 5 coordinates with the battery user 4 and the reproduction company 3 to perform the next action (a used battery reproduction request or a means for providing a reproduction battery). It goes without saying that it moves to.

  Next, the alarm transmission means 15 incorporated in the server 1 will be described. The alarm transmission means 15 includes, for example, monitoring data of the regenerative battery detected by the battery monitoring means 41b that monitors the operating status of the regenerative battery used in the battery power storage device installed on the battery user 4 side. For example, when the setting value deviates from the preset value, the battery user 4 is currently used by automatically transmitting the battery replacement information from the server 1 to the corresponding terminal 41 on the battery user 4 side via the network 6. It is a means for transmitting a message for informing that the time to replace the regenerated battery in advance has arrived.

The battery replacement information is transmitted on the server 1 from the server 1 to the battery user 4 side terminal 41 that owns the playback battery, for example, when the following conditions are met. That is,
(1) Overvoltage detection during rechargeable battery charging, i.e., when a voltage higher than the preset time is detected, or voltage drop detection during discharging, i.e., discharge end voltage is set in advance When a low voltage is detected earlier than the time.
(2) When charging a rechargeable battery and detecting a current value lower than a preset current value.
(3) When the temperature during charging / discharging of the regenerative battery deviates from the preset temperature range.
It should be noted that the replacement conditions for the regenerative batteries shown in the above (1) to (3) are naturally determined by testing the usage states of a plurality of regenerative batteries in advance and determining the numerical values that are determined to be abnormal. is there.

  For example, when all of the setting conditions shown in the above (1) to (3) or any of the two setting conditions are deviated, information from the server 1 to the battery user 4 side terminal 41 is used as information for replacing the battery. Automatically sends a battery replacement alarm. Further, when any one of the setting conditions (1) to (3) deviates from the setting condition, the server 1 informs the battery user 4 side terminal 41 that the replacement time is near as a predicted life of the regenerative battery, For example, a message for prompting the inspection of the battery such as “Please maintain the battery” is transmitted, the battery user 4 is encouraged to inspect the regenerative battery, and the regenerative battery deteriorates rapidly and adversely affects the load. It is for not giving.

  The monitor data display means 16 provided in the server 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a display unit (display) (not shown) of the server 1 for monitoring data obtained by detecting the regenerative battery used by the battery user 4 by the battery monitor means 41b. In this case, the reproduction battery monitoring data transmitted from the plurality of battery users 4 to the server 1 is, for example, the battery user ID and the reproduction battery ID used for each battery user 4 as an ID number. Whether to display the monitoring data of the rechargeable battery of the required battery user 4 in the order of the ID number by inputting the ID number of the battery user 4 to the server 1 in order, or when to display Is displayed in real time or at regular intervals For, by selecting arbitrarily a program display means used in the server 1, it is sufficient to display on the display unit (not shown) of the server 1. Further, the monitoring data displayed on the monitoring data display means 16 is provided in the terminals 41 and 31 of the battery user 4 and the reproduction company 3 by the monitoring data transmission means 16a from the server 1 as necessary. By automatically transmitting the information to the battery information receiving / displaying means 41d and 31b as the monitoring information of the regenerated battery, the battery user-4 and the regenerative business operator 3 can easily grasp the operating status of the regenerated battery.

  In this example, the management business operator 5 who manages the server 1 is in charge of checking the monitoring data. In practice, however, the monitoring data is stored on the server 1 as battery replacement information. As a matter of course, if the alarm transmission means 15 transmits the alarm condition data, the server 1 automatically transmits the battery replacement information to the corresponding battery user 4. The monitoring data is transferred from the server 1 to the management company 5 side terminal 51 as necessary, and the management company 5 checks (understands) the battery information reception / display means 51c provided in its own terminal 51. May be.

  Next, the battery life predicting means 17 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. This battery life prediction means 17 is used when, for example, the voltage detected during charging or discharging of the regenerative battery deviates from the preset conditions for normal operation of the regenerative battery in the regenerative battery monitoring data. The regenerated battery predicts how long it can be used. The regenerative battery is used as a measure of when to prepare a reusable battery or a new battery to be used next by predicting the usable days in advance.

  As the data for determining the life prediction, for example, the time to reach the overvoltage detection value at the time of charging the regenerative battery or the voltage drop detection value at the time of discharge is set in advance at the normal time If it reaches earlier than the time, i.e., assuming that it has reached half of the time set in normal time, it is possible to test in advance how many times the regenerative battery can be used with multiple regenerative batteries etc. To understand. Naturally, the time to reach the overvoltage detection value and the voltage drop detection value ascertained by the test or the like is prepared in advance as data in the case of delay / speed by day, for example. In addition, in advance of the above voltage, a test or the like is performed to see how long it takes for the current value, temperature, charging time, and discharge reduction amount of the regenerative battery to reach a preset value. Of course, it is possible to prepare the data on how many days the rechargeable battery can be used from the data of the number of days ascertained so as to predict the life of the rechargeable battery.

  When data such as the voltage and current value used for the life prediction obtained in advance is reached and the voltage of the regenerative battery reaches the value for obtaining the life prediction, it is tentatively determined how many days can be used. Data to be stored in the server 1 in advance, and whenever the monitoring data is transmitted to the server 1, data such as voltage displayed in the monitoring data and data indicating the number of usable days stored in the server 1 Are compared with each other by the comparison and collation means, and if both data match, the usable days indicated in the matched data is set as the provisional usage days of the regenerative battery, and the usage days are displayed on a display unit (not shown) of the server 1. The management business operator 5 recognizes this display and predicts the life of the regenerative battery.

  The provisional use days of the regenerative battery displayed on the display unit are transmitted to the corresponding battery user 4-side terminal 41 by the battery life prediction information transmission means 17a as the reproduction battery life prediction information to be displayed, thereby displaying the battery user. For example, it is possible to easily grasp how many days (periods) the self-generated battery that is currently used can be used. This is convenient because it is possible to know in advance when the regenerative battery should be replaced in the same manner as the transmission of the battery replacement information. Note that the above life prediction is just a guide for measuring how long the rechargeable battery can be used, and although it cannot be determined in general, it will probably be used for about several days. Therefore, it is naturally considered that the battery itself may suddenly overdischarge or rapidly deteriorate before the estimated number of days for some reason, so it may be impossible to use it. Needless to say, it should not be overconfidence.

Next, in order to make the server 1 function, a computer (not shown) of the server 1 stores a program for driving the server 1 for causing the computer to function as the following means.
(1) Registration acceptance of battery-related persons (battery supplier 2, battery user 4, playback company 3), ID number assignment for each battery-related person, and ID number issuance to give used / recycled battery ID numbers Battery-related person registration means 11 for registering and managing battery-related persons and the like.
(2) Used battery supplier ID, regeneration business input from these terminals corresponding to the terminals 21, 31, 41, 51 of the battery supplier 2, the regeneration company 3, the battery user 4, and the management company 5 Receiving means for receiving battery information such as a person ID, a battery user ID, attribute data of each battery, and monitoring data.
(3) The used or regenerated battery attribute data received by the server 1 from the battery supplier 2 side terminal 21 and the regenerative business operator 3 side terminal 31 is stored for each battery together with the used battery supplier ID and the regenerative business operator ID. Battery attribute data storage means 12 for
(4) Currently used playback battery received by the server 1 from the battery user 4 side terminal 41, or necessary used or played battery attribute data and the battery stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 Each attribute data is read out and collated with the attribute data received at the server 1, and when the two attribute data match, the matching attribute data is attached with a “flag” and the battery attribute data storage means 12 Attribute data matching means 13 to be stored;
(5) Based on the result of collation by the attribute data collating unit 13, the used or regenerated battery attribute data stored with a flag in the battery attribute data storage unit 12 is stored in the used battery supplier ID and the regenerating company ID. And when the playback company ID is attached to the read battery attribute data, the attribute data is transferred to the battery user 4 side terminal 41 having a battery user ID that requires a battery, and the read Attribute data transmission means for transmitting the attribute data to the reproduction company 3 side terminal 31 having the reproduction company ID when the used battery supplier ID requiring the reproduction process is attached to the attribute data. 14.
(6) An alarm that receives regenerative battery monitoring data and transmits battery replacement information or battery maintenance request information to the battery user 4 when the received monitoring data deviates from a predetermined set value set in advance. Transmission means 15;
(7) When it is determined that the monitoring data received by the server 1 from the battery user 4 side terminal 41 has deviated from a predetermined set value set in advance by the battery life prediction means 17, the battery life prediction information is displayed. Battery life prediction information transmission means 17a for transmission to the battery user 4 side.
If necessary, in the program, the computer of the server 1 creates “used battery supply information” by the used battery information extraction means 18 based on the database stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 and creates a network. 6 based on a database stored in the battery attribute data storage unit 12 or a function for disclosing the “battery management information” relating to the regenerated battery on the network 6 based on the regenerative battery information extracting unit 19 The replay battery monitoring data is displayed on the monitoring data display means 16, and the battery information receiving / display means 41d and 31b provided in the terminals 41 and 31 of the battery user 4 and the regenerating business 3 from the server 1 are displayed. Monitoring data for automatic distribution It contains a program that causes a transmission unit 16a is goes without saying.

  Next, an outline of each battery related person will be described. First, when the battery supplier 2 inputs used battery information in the format of “used battery supplier” of the server 1 every time the used battery provided using the used battery attribute data input means 21a is generated, the server 1 The used battery ID is attached and stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 as a used battery database (battery attribute data). The actual used battery is transported to the business site of the reproduction company 3 as soon as adjustment with the battery user 4 is made. In this embodiment, it is conveyed by an instruction from the management company 5.

  When the reproduction company 3 inputs the attribute data of the battery that can be reproduced by itself using the reproduction battery attribute data input means 31a in the format of the “reproduction company” of the server 1, this data is stored in the reproduction business. Is stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 of the server 1 as a database (battery attribute data) of the reproduction company 3.

  Further, the regeneration company 3 uses, for example, a “battery regeneration checklist” shown in FIG. 9 to indicate the regeneration processing status of the used battery, and the regeneration man-hour / recovery cost, regeneration workload, creation of test result table, etc. When the information regarding the used battery is input to the server 1 using the regenerated battery attribute data input means 31a, the used battery is registered with an ID number as a regenerated battery that has been regenerated. As a result, when the administrator of the server 1 (in this example, the management company 5) requests the regeneration process of the used battery, the regeneration company 3 can select the recycling process while grasping the above situation. Can be done efficiently.

  When the battery user 4 uses the battery attribute data input means 41a for inputting battery attribute data in the “battery user” format of the server 1 and inputs the attribute data of the regenerative battery used by the user, The ID number (reproduction battery ID) of the regenerative battery used for the data is attached and stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 as a database (battery attribute data) of the battery user 4. Further, the battery user 4 browses the “used battery supply information” shown in FIG. 6 disclosed in the server 1 and the “battery management information” of the regenerative battery shown in FIG. If the required battery is in the “used battery supply information” etc., the management company 5 is contacted. This makes it possible to obtain the necessary battery at any time.

  In FIGS. 1 and 2, the battery user 4 is generally a distributed power source, for example, storing surplus power at night and using it in combination with the commercial power source 70 (see FIG. 2) during peak hours of daytime power demand. The case where a so-called battery power storage device 72 (see FIG. 2) in which the power of the stored battery is supplied to a predetermined load 71 is a target. The battery user 4 is intended for owners (managers) of supermarkets, convenience stores, business buildings, small and medium-sized offices, etc., but the present invention is not limited to these. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to all businesses in which the regenerative battery 73 can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the battery power storage device 72 is provided with battery monitoring means 41b for monitoring the operating status of the regenerative battery 73. The battery monitoring means 41b is connected to the operating status of the regenerative battery 73. In addition to the voltage at the time of charge / discharge of the regenerative battery 73 necessary for grasping, the current, temperature, etc. are detected. The monitoring data detected by the battery monitoring means 41b is transmitted from the monitoring data input means (report device) 41c connected to the battery monitoring means 41b to the server 1 via the network 6, and the monitoring data display means provided in the server 1 16 is displayed so as to be visible.

  The management company 5 side terminal 51 includes management means 51b for managing the maintenance and management of each operation program stored in the server 1, as well as the maintenance and management of the server 1 itself, and the contract / cost recovery related to leasing, etc. Has been. In addition to managing the server 1, the management company 5 requests the regeneration company 3 to regenerate the used battery from the procurement of used batteries, and contracts / rental costs for renting the recycled battery to the battery user 4. It plays the role of operating the battery regeneration / distribution system in the present invention as a business, such as collection, payment of costs to the battery supplier 2 and the regeneration company 3. Further, the terminal 51 also has an input means 51a for creating used / recycled battery possession management information, etc., if necessary, based on the attribute data of used / recycled batteries and disclosing them to the server 1. Has been.

  Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. A battery supplier 2 that owns a used battery, a battery user 4 who needs a regenerated battery, and a recycler 3 who regenerates a used battery each input battery attribute data related to the server 1. That is, when the predetermined items are input using the formats “used battery supplier”, “recycling company”, and “battery user” provided in the server 1 shown in FIGS. Registration processing is performed by assigning ID numbers to the battery-related persons and the batteries related to the battery-related persons.

  The battery supplier 2 registers the attribute data etc. of the used battery that it owns in the server 1 using the format of “used battery supplier” shown in FIG. The battery attribute data that can be played back is registered in the server 1 using the “playback business” format shown in FIG. 4, and the battery user 4 uses the “battery user” format shown in FIG. In addition to registering the attribute data, etc., of the regenerative battery used in the server 1 and when there is a battery that is necessary other than the above registration, the server 1 stores the “battery user request battery list” shown in FIG. The battery provided in the server 1 is registered by registering the required battery attribute data using the format. The attribute data of the used / recycled battery is stored in the Lee attribute data storage unit 12 for each battery together with the used battery supplier ID / recycler ID.

  As described above, after the required battery attribute data is stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 of the server 1, the battery supplier 2, the reproduction company 3, and the battery user 4 access the server 1 as necessary. When the attribute data of each used / recycled battery that is required by itself is stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12, the attribute data collating means 13 provided in the server 1 is operated, and the attribute data of the corresponding battery Is attached to the battery attribute data storage unit 12 and the battery of the attribute data to which the “flag” is attached is related to the battery accessed by the attribute data transmission unit 14 to the server 1. Battery information receiving / displaying means 21b, 31b provided in the terminal 21, 31, 41 of the person To send each to 1d.

  As a result, the battery user 4 can easily know the presence of the used / recycled battery required by the terminal 41 by transmitting the attribute data of each battery. On the other hand, the battery supplier 2 can easily confirm from the terminal 21 that there is a battery user 4 who needs a used battery that he owns. Furthermore, the reproduction company 3 can easily confirm with the terminal 31 that there is a used battery that can be reproduced by the reproduction company 3.

  When the management company 5 obtains a used battery, it knows the battery supplier 2 that owns the used battery via the network 6 and receives the used battery, or directly with the battery supplier 2. By negotiating, the amount of the used battery taken over is determined, and if the used battery is reusable, a contract such as a contract to recycle is concluded with the battery supplier 2.

  When the battery supplier 2 who owns the used battery is registered in the server 1, the server 1 uses the used battery information extracting means 18 provided in the server 1 for "used battery supply information" shown in FIG. Automatically created and disclosed to server 1. As a result, each used battery is assigned a battery ID, and the used battery's history is properly recorded and registered as “used battery supply information”, and the used battery is abandoned without permission. In addition, problems such as a mistake in the reproduction process due to differences in the history of used batteries themselves will be prevented.

  In parallel with the creation of “used battery supply information” shown in FIG. 6 by the server 1, the management company 5 entrusts the regeneration company 3 to recycle the used battery supplied from the battery supplier 2. In this case, since the management company 5 may collect used batteries from the battery suppliers 2 in various locations, the management company 5 asks the battery supplier 2 in advance to find the used batteries supplied by itself near the battery supplier 2. If there is a reproduction company 3 suitable for reproduction, the used battery can be directly transferred from the battery supplier 2 to the reproduction company 3.

  As described above, when the management company 5 finishes creating the “used battery supply information” by the server 1, for example, the used battery from which the record has been collected is subjected to weather resistance processing (preventing contamination and damage due to rainwater, dust, etc.) In order to do so, it is sealed so as not to separate by enclosing it in a resin bag or applying a film treatment with resin. As a result, the registered (recording) processing of the collected used battery is completed, and the used battery is handed over to the recycling company 3 to entrust the recycling process. When the used battery is directly transferred from the battery supplier 2 to the recycling company 3 with the permission of the management company 5, the battery supplier 2 or the recycling company 3 is already created by the server 1. The used battery supply information is attached to the used battery.

  The recycling company 3 entrusted with the recycling process of the used battery by the management company 5 confirms the history of the used battery based on the “used battery supply information” affixed to the used battery. The reproduction processing is simply performed using a known reproduction processing means, and it is determined whether or not the used battery can be recycled.

  The reason for determining whether or not the used battery is available is that the used battery itself cannot always be regenerated in the current use situation. When determining whether or not a used battery can be regenerated, the appearance of the used battery collected in advance is visually confirmed and then regenerated using a known regenerating process means. Most of the above-mentioned visual inspection works, for example, even if the used battery electrode is damaged or foreign matter is mixed in the battery and the collected used battery is suddenly checked for reproducibility. This is because there is a high possibility of being judged as impossible.

  An example of determining whether or not the used battery can be regenerated will be described. In this case, the collected used battery is connected to a simulated load, for example, and a constant current discharge is performed with the simulated load, and a change in the terminal voltage at that time is confirmed, and the terminal voltage reaches a predetermined set value. The discharge amount display means for issuing a command when the battery is discharged, and the discharge amount display means for displaying the discharge amount by a shunt resistor inserted in the load side circuit of the used battery, Compare the display value when stopped by the command issued when the voltage reaches a predetermined set value with the reference value set by the terminal voltage set value and the nominal capacity of the battery, for example, the reference value If the condition is satisfied, it is determined that the reproduction process is possible, and if it is outside the determination reference value, it is determined that the reproduction process is impossible.

  As described above, the used battery determined to be reproducible by the well-known battery reproducibility determination proceeds to the step of the regenerating process. It will return to the management company 5 by sticking etc. The management company 5 legally disposes of the used battery returned from the recycling company 3 and records, for example, “recycling impossible” in the “used battery supply information” indicating the history of the battery. “Supply information” is closed (deleted).

  In addition, the management company 5 operates the terminal 51 to record the used battery that cannot be reproduced by recording the corresponding battery stored in the battery attribute data storage means 12 as unreproducible or deleting the record. Needless to say, it should be arranged so as not to be confused with other used batteries. If the reclaimer 3 disposes of a used battery that cannot be reclaimed based on the instructions of the management company 5, the reclaimer 3 records “recycled battery information” in FIG. The used battery supply information ”is transmitted to the server 1 via the network 6. It goes without saying that the management company 5 that has received the transmission performs the same processing as when it is disposed of by itself.

  Next, whether or not the used battery can be regenerated is determined as described above, and the original regenerating process is started for the used battery determined to be recyclable. The used battery regeneration process is performed using a known regeneration process technique. It goes without saying that the degree of damage of the used battery, the degree of contamination of the battery liquid, etc. are sufficiently grasped before starting the regeneration process.

The technology adopted by the regeneration company 3 for the regeneration processing of used batteries generally includes a pulse charging method and a chemical solution charging method. In order to recover the performance of a deteriorated battery, the pulse charge method, for example, molecularly decomposes sulfation (lead sulfate PbSO ₄ ) deposited on the electrode surface, and forms an electrolyte solution in the form of sulfate ions (SO ₄ ^-2 ). This is a method of reducing the charge / discharge capacity of the electrode by reducing to H ₂ SO ₄ ).

  For this reason, in the pulse charging method, the sulfation molecular decomposition is performed by flowing a direct current pulse to the electrode of the battery to restore the charge / discharge capacity of the electrode. The decomposition rate of the sulfation in this direct current pulse charging method Is required in consideration of the standard of the battery to be treated, the degree of deterioration (the amount of sulfation and the degree of crystallization), the temperature during the treatment, and the like.

  On the other hand, in the chemical solution charging method, for example, by adding germanium sesquioxide of bis-β-ethylcarboxylate to the electrolyte of a used battery whose performance has deteriorated, the electrode is quickly washed by the electronic effect of germanium, and the potential difference is reduced. In addition to enhancing the function, the function of used batteries is restored by returning sulfation to the original dilute sulfuric acid.

  When the recycling process of the used battery is completed, the playback company 3 performs a battery test with quality assurance of the playback battery that has been played back. All the regenerative battery test results are described in the “battery replay check list” shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the entry to the “battery regeneration checklist” includes the history and test results (cell No., lattice alloy, capacity,. Describe. The above described “battery reproduction check list” is transmitted to the server 1 via the network 6 by operating the reproduction battery attribute data input means 31 a provided in the terminal 31 of the reproduction company 3.

  Based on the “battery reproduction checklist” received from the reproduction company 3, the server 1 attaches an ID number to the reproduction battery that has been subjected to the reproduction process, and attribute data of the reproduction battery that has undergone the reproduction process to the battery attribute data storage unit 12. In addition to the storage, the reproduction battery information extraction means 19 using the attribute data automatically creates the “battery management information” of the reproduction battery in the format shown in FIG. In addition, if the battery user 4 who uses the playback battery has already decided on the playback battery, the playback company 3 carries it at the request of the management company 5, while the usage destination of the playback battery is not yet determined. In this case, the reproduction business operator 3 may temporarily store it at the request of the management business operator 5, or the management business operator 5 itself may store it.

  The playback battery that has finished the playback process is transported to the battery user 4 at the request of the management company 5, or when the management company 5 stores it, the management company 5 itself, or Based on a request from the management company 5, an electric construction company or the like transports it to the battery user 4.

  The regenerative battery 73 (see FIG. 2) conveyed to the battery user 4 is a battery power storage device installed in the battery user 4 by the regenerative business operator 3 or an electric power business operator designated separately by the management business operator 5. Replace and install 72 old batteries. In addition to the installation of the regenerative battery 73, battery monitoring means 41b for detecting voltage, current, temperature, etc. during charging / discharging of the regenerative battery 73, and the remaining capacity of the regenerative battery 73 detected by the battery monitoring means 41b In addition, it is checked whether or not the monitoring data input unit 41c including a communication unit that transmits data indicating temperature information to the server 1 via the network 6 operates normally.

  When the regenerative battery 73 is installed in the battery user 4, the battery power storage device 72 is used after checking the matters necessary for its operation and the connection status of the load 71 and the like. The use of the battery power storage device 72 differs depending on the battery user 4 and is not directly related to the present invention, so that the description thereof is omitted.

  Once the regenerative battery 73 is installed in the battery power storage device 72 of the battery user 4, the management company 5 makes a rental contract (sale with the battery user 4) based on, for example, the rental period, rental cost, etc. of the regenerative battery 73. Etc.). The regenerative battery 73 installed in the battery user 4 constantly monitors the operation status by the battery monitoring means 41b regardless of whether the battery power storage device 72 is operating or stopped, and the monitoring data is the battery monitoring means. The data is transmitted to the server 1 via the network 6 from the monitoring data input means 41c of the battery user side terminal 41 connected to the terminal 41b, and displayed on the monitoring data display means 16 of the server 1 together with the battery user ID and the reproduction battery ID.

  That is, the battery monitoring means 41b of the regenerative battery 73 indicates the data such as voltage, current and temperature information of the regenerative battery 73 installed in the battery power storage device 72 of the battery user 4 as shown in the format of FIG. It is transmitted to the server 1 and displayed as “monitoring information”. The “battery monitoring information” receives and displays the monitoring data every time voltage, current, and temperature information during use of the corresponding regenerative battery 73 is transmitted to the server 1 after the regenerative battery 73 is operated. Is displayed in real time or at regular intervals for each battery in the display column indicating the voltage, current, and temperature of the “battery monitoring information”, and this is displayed in the form of “battery monitoring information” shown in FIG. Is displayed on the monitoring data display means 16 of the server 1. The “battery monitoring information” is transmitted to the battery information receiving / displaying means 41d and 31b of the terminals 41 and 31 of the battery user 4 and the reproduction company 3 by the monitoring data transmission means 16a as necessary, It is also possible to use paper from the terminals 41 and 31. Further, the battery user 4 or the like can operate the terminal 41 to access the server 1 and browse the monitoring data.

  Next, when monitoring the regenerative battery 73 of the battery user 4 and the monitoring data of the regenerative battery 73 meets the following conditions, the battery is exchanged from the server 1 to the battery user 4 side terminal 41 via the network 6. Information is automatically distributed, and the alarm transmission means (message) 15 notifies that the regenerative battery 73 has reached the replacement time.

The condition that the replacement information of the regenerative battery 73 is distributed from the server 1 to the battery user 4 by the alarm transmission means 15 is performed when the following contents are confirmed.
(1) When the regenerative battery 73 is charged, when a predetermined charging voltage set value is exceeded (for example, 150% increase of the nominal rated voltage), or during discharging, a predetermined discharge end scheduled voltage setting value is set. When below (for example, 90% or less of the nominal rated voltage).
(2) When the current value during charging of the regenerative battery 73 detects a current value lower than a preset current value.
(3) When the temperature of the regenerative battery 73 deviates from the preset temperature range.

  When all of the above conditions (1) to (3) are satisfied, the battery replacement information program incorporated in the server 1 is activated, and the battery user 4 using the corresponding regenerative battery 73 is replaced with a new battery. Automatically distribute information. Thereafter, the management company 5 negotiates the replacement of the regenerative battery 73 with the battery user 4 based on the monitoring data of the regenerative battery 73. If the regenerative battery 73 is not replaced with the battery user 4 at an early stage, the deterioration is accelerated and a load is increased. Ask for understanding of adverse effects. This is because, when the phenomenon of (1) to (3) occurs, if this is left unattended, the deterioration of the regenerative battery 73 is accelerated, the regenerative battery is damaged, and the load is affected. This is because the regeneration process becomes difficult as the deterioration becomes severe.

  Then, the management company 5 proposes to the battery user 4 the replacement time of the regenerative battery 73 in advance when the battery user 4 agrees to replace the regenerative battery 73, and after obtaining the approval from the battery user 4. The reclaimer 3 is requested to collect the rechargeable battery 73 used by the battery user 4.

  Then, when the recovery / replacement of the regenerative battery 73 is determined, the management company 5 provides the battery user 4 with another regenerative battery 73 that the management company 5 owns or stores at the refurbishment company 3. Then, the replacement work of the new and old regenerative batteries 73 is performed. The replacement work is performed by the regeneration company 3 designated by the management company 5 or the electric construction company. The old reproduction battery 73 that has been replaced is transported by the reproduction company 3 to its own reproduction company in accordance with an instruction from the management company 5. In addition, the regenerative business operator 3 and the like inform the management business operator 5 that the old regenerative battery 73 has been collected by the regenerative business operator 3 and replaced with the newly regenerated regenerated battery 73 via the network 6 or the like. .

  As described above, after the regeneration company 3 collects the old regeneration battery 73, the management company 5 entrusts the regeneration company 3 to the regeneration process. The reproduction company 3 performs a simple reproduction process again on the old reproduction battery 73 at the request of the management company 5, and then determines whether or not the reproduction process can be performed. The schedule, workload, etc. and various items related to the processing work are reported, and the reproduction process is executed after obtaining the approval. Since the battery regeneration process has already been described, the description thereof will be omitted.

  After regenerating the old regenerative battery 73, the regenerative business operator 3 fills in the test result table column of the “battery regenerative check list” (see FIG. 9) of the regenerated old regenerative battery 73, and then the management business operator 5 To inform the completion of the regeneration process of the old regeneration battery 73 via the network 6 or the like. The old regenerative battery 73 that has been regenerated is also registered in the server 1 with a regenerative battery ID, and is stored until the regenerative business operator 3 determines the battery user 4 according to an instruction from the management business operator 5, Alternatively, the management company 5 stores it. When the battery user 4 is determined, the regenerative business operator 3 or the electric construction business operator requested by the management business operator 5 carries the battery user 4 to the battery user 4 according to the instruction of the management business operator 5.

  Next, when one of the three conditions set as the battery replacement condition is met, information on a battery maintenance (inspection) request is automatically distributed from the server 1 to the battery user 4. . Of course, the battery user 4 may voluntarily perform maintenance of the regenerative battery 73 at regular intervals for the regenerative battery 73 instead of the maintenance request information.

  Now, for example, a case where maintenance information of the regenerative battery 73 is transmitted from the server 1 to the battery user 4 side terminal 41 will be described. That is, the maintenance of the regenerative battery 73 will be described. With regard to this maintenance, when a battery replacement / maintenance (lifetime prediction information) information is delivered to the battery user 4 in advance when a lease contract for the regenerative battery 73 is concluded, the regenerative battery 73 is mechanically It is a condition that an agreement (promise) is taken for performing maintenance. In other words, it is preferable to determine in advance that the maintenance of the battery is performed by the regeneration company 3 or an electric construction company or the like according to an instruction from the management company 5 by a lease contract or the like. However, if the battery user 4 promises to perform the maintenance himself / herself in a lease contract or the like, the battery user 4 contacts the management company 5 by distributing inspection information, and the battery user 4 is responsible for the regenerative battery 73. Will be inspected.

  When maintenance of the regenerative battery 73 is performed, when maintenance information is transmitted from the server 1 of the management company 5 to the battery user 4, the “battery management information” of the regenerative battery 73 is transmitted to the reproduction company 3 via the network 6. This is performed by designating the battery user 4 to perform maintenance, for example, by distributing. Based on the “battery management information”, the playback company 3 confirms the battery user 4 and then goes to the battery user 4 to perform maintenance on the playback battery 73. Maintenance of the regenerative battery 73 includes, for example, checking the voltage, current, and temperature of the regenerative battery 73, inspecting the electrode plate, battery liquid, and the like. Thus, it is to confirm whether or not the regenerative battery 73 can be used normally in the future. When the maintenance is completed, the regeneration company 3 reports the maintenance status to the management company 5 via the network 6 or by telephone.

  In addition to the regular maintenance, the regenerative battery 73 is performed by a maintenance person in parallel when the battery user 4 directly requests the regenerative business operator 3 or inspects the battery power storage device 72. There is no problem. In the maintenance, if it is difficult to use the regenerative battery 73 continuously, the regenerative business operator 3 or the battery user 4 who is an inspector cannot easily use the regenerative battery 73 for the management business operator 5 The regenerative battery 73 or a new battery should be exchanged, and a request to collect the regenerative battery 73 is made.

  The management company 5 confirms the operation status of the rechargeable battery 73 based on the battery monitoring information displayed on the server 1 based on a request from the regenerative company 3, and if it is determined that collection is necessary, the management company 5 regenerates the battery user 4. The time for replacing the battery 73 is clearly indicated, and the battery user 4 is requested to cooperate in collecting the regenerated battery 73. On the other hand, the playback company 3 is requested to collect the playback battery 73 used by the battery user 4. Subsequent operations are the same as the replacement of the regenerative battery 73, and thus description thereof is omitted. When the collected regenerative battery 73 becomes unreproducible, the attribute data collating unit 13 reads the battery attribute data from the battery attribute data storage unit 12 and deletes the record as the regenerative battery 73. On the other hand, when the collected rechargeable battery 73 can be used again by the regenerating process, a mark or the like indicating “reusable” is attached to prepare for reuse.

  Next, the life prediction of the regenerative battery 73 will be described. The life prediction of the regenerative battery 73 is unlikely to be difficult to use due to rapid deterioration due to overdischarge or the like even when a regenerating process is performed unlike a new battery. This may cause anxiety to the battery user 4. In the present invention, the server 1 is provided with a battery life prediction means 17 and a means 17a for transmitting life prediction information.

  Specifically, since it has already been described in the battery life predicting means 17, detailed description is omitted, but for example, how much time has elapsed since the start of charging based on the voltage at the time of charging / discharging of the regenerative battery 73. Then, in advance of the detection of the overvoltage, or in the discharge, how much time has elapsed from the start of the discharge until the reduction value of the integrated discharge amount is reached and the voltage drop is detected in advance, By transmitting information on how many days the regenerative battery 73 can be used to the battery user 4 based on the elapsed data up to the respective detection values, the battery user 4 is in an unexpected situation of the regenerative battery 73. It is possible to grasp in advance and prepare for the response. That is, the life prediction of the regenerative battery 73 is a reference for determining the maintenance time of the regenerative battery 73 and the replacement time of the regenerative battery 73. For example, the above life prediction shows one embodiment of the present invention. When the regenerative battery 73 is charged / discharged, the regenerative battery 73 is replaced when the overvoltage detection value and the voltage drop detection value are exceeded. However, if the regenerative battery 73 is always operating normally, there will be no situation where the detection value is exceeded. Thus, it goes without saying that performing the battery life prediction greatly expands the range of utilization (use) of the rechargeable battery 73 and is a great advantage in developing the demand.

  As described above, the present invention collects a used battery, verifies whether or not it can be recycled, and if it can be recycled, it can be reused by performing the recycling process. At this time, the recycle battery is reused in cooperation with the battery user 4 via the network 6, and if it is difficult to continue using this recycle battery, it is verified whether it can be recovered again and used again. Thus, if the used battery can be regenerated, it can be regenerated and reused by utilizing the recycle / distribution system of the present invention. As a result, the disposal process can be reduced and the environmental load can be reduced well. In addition, the resources can be effectively utilized by reuse, and it can be introduced at low cost for the user, which is convenient. .

  Although the present invention has been described with respect to an embodiment in which a used battery is reused, a battery user 4 who uses a new battery instead of a used battery may receive the old battery when the new battery becomes old. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to the case where the battery is reprocessed and reused. In addition, the battery to be reclaimed is not limited to the battery of the battery power storage device used at the office, for example, the battery used for transportation means such as trucks, buses, forklifts, etc. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to the battery used.

  In the present invention, the example in which the regenerative battery itself is provided to the battery user 4 by the rental means has been described so far. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. The regenerative battery is introduced by the purchase means, and after the introduction, if the battery user 4 desires it, the battery monitoring means 41b is introduced to constantly grasp the operation state of the regenerative battery, and the regeneration / distribution of the present invention is necessary when necessary. An alternative regeneration battery may be introduced using the system for reuse.

  Furthermore, in the reproduction / distribution system of the present invention, the example in which the management company 5 manages the server 1 has been described. However, the battery supplier 2 or the reproduction company 3 is not limited to this. Even if the system of the present invention is executed by managing 1 or the like, the present invention is established. Further, in the present invention, the “used battery supply information” and the “battery management information” of the regenerated battery are automatically created in the server 1 and can be disclosed (viewed) to the battery related persons (users). Although an example has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and when used battery or regenerated battery data is input to the server 1, the management company 5 uses the terminal 51 of its own to use the “used battery supply information”. Of course, “battery management information” of the regenerative battery may be created and provided to the user.

  In the present invention, the used battery ID and the regenerative battery ID are registered and managed with different ID numbers. However, the used battery is regenerated and used as a regenerative battery. In order to unify the battery history, the present invention can be established even if used / recycled batteries are registered and managed with the same ID number.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the format (see FIG. 5) when the battery user 4 is newly registered in the server 1 is provided to input the specification of the regenerative battery and the regenerative battery ID. In this case, the ID number is not used as a rechargeable battery but as a used battery when a new registration is made for the battery user 4 because a renewed battery is not always used but a newly purchased battery may be used continuously. When the battery is registered in the format of the battery user 4 and this used battery is reprocessed at a later date and used as a regenerative battery, the present invention can be established even if the ID number is newly registered and managed as a regenerative battery. To do.
