BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO INTERRUPT BUILDUP OF CARBON DEPOSITS AND CORRESPONDING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838387 titled 'BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO INTERRUPT BUILDUP OF CARBON DEPOSITS AND CORRESPONDING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a battery charging system for electric vehicles that is designed to prevent the buildup of carbon deposits. The system includes a printed circuit board with a relay, and the carbon deposits typically form a path between the input and output pins of the relay. To interrupt this buildup, the printed circuit board is designed with a slot.

  • The patent application is for a battery charging system for electric vehicles.
  • The system is designed to prevent the buildup of carbon deposits on the printed circuit board.
  • The carbon deposits typically form a path between the input and output pins of the relay on the printed circuit board.
  • The buildup of carbon deposits is interrupted by a slot formed in the printed circuit board.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicle charging stations
  • Battery charging systems for electric buses or trucks
  • Home charging systems for electric vehicles

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Carbon deposits can cause electrical issues and reduce the efficiency of the battery charging system.
  • The buildup of carbon deposits can lead to malfunctions or failures in the charging system.
  • Interrupting the buildup of carbon deposits can help maintain the performance and reliability of the battery charging system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability of the battery charging system.
  • Reduced maintenance requirements due to the prevention of carbon deposits.
  • Increased efficiency of the charging process.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to a battery charging system configured to selectively charge a battery pack of an electrified vehicle. More particularly, the battery charging system is configured to interrupt a buildup of carbon deposits. A corresponding method is also disclosed. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to interrupting a buildup of carbon deposits on a printed circuit board of a battery charging system configured to selectively charge a battery pack of an electrified vehicle, wherein the buildup of carbon deposits follows a path between an input pin of a relay on the printed circuit board and an output pin of the relay, and wherein the buildup of carbon deposits are interrupted by a slot formed in the printed circuit board.
