Anti-Sticking System of Inlet Actuator - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17742820 titled 'Anti-Sticking System of Inlet Actuator

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an embodiment system that includes an actuator, a lever arm, a debris removal unit, and a controller. The actuator is mounted in a housing and is operated based on the connection state of a charging cable. The lever arm is located outside the housing and rotates along with the actuator. The debris removal unit is responsible for removing debris from the lever arm. The controller controls the actuator's operation based on the connection state of the charging cable and activates the debris removal unit when the actuator's operation deviates from the normal range.

  • The embodiment system includes an actuator, lever arm, debris removal unit, and controller.
  • The actuator is mounted in a housing and responds to the connection state of a charging cable.
  • The lever arm is located outside the housing and rotates in sync with the actuator's operation.
  • The debris removal unit is designed to remove debris from the lever arm.
  • The controller manages the actuator's operation based on the connection state of the charging cable.
  • The controller also triggers the debris removal unit when the actuator's operation deviates from the normal range.

Potential Applications

  • This embodiment system can be used in charging stations for electric vehicles to ensure proper connection and prevent debris buildup.
  • It can be implemented in robotic systems that require precise and reliable actuator operation.
  • The system can be utilized in industrial machinery to maintain optimal performance and prevent malfunctions.

Problems Solved

  • The system addresses the issue of unreliable actuator operation by monitoring the connection state of the charging cable.
  • It solves the problem of debris accumulation on the lever arm, which can hinder the actuator's performance.
  • The system prevents potential damage or malfunction caused by deviations from the normal range of actuator operation.

Benefits

  • Ensures a secure and reliable connection between the charging cable and the actuator.
  • Reduces the risk of damage or malfunction due to debris accumulation on the lever arm.
  • Enhances the overall performance and longevity of the actuator system.
  • Provides a cost-effective solution for maintaining optimal actuator operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment system includes an actuator mounted in a housing and configured to be operated in response to a connection state of a charging cable, a lever arm rotatably provided outside the housing and configured to be rotated in conjunction with operation of the actuator, a debris removal unit configured to remove debris on the lever arm, and a controller configured to control the operation of the actuator in response to the connection state of the charging cable being a connected state or a released state and to control the debris removal unit to remove the debris on the lever arm in response to an operational state according to the operation of the actuator deviating from a normal range.
