FUSE LIFE EXPECTANCY PREDICTION DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY AND PREDICTION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870034 titled 'FUSE LIFE EXPECTANCY PREDICTION DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY AND PREDICTION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a device for predicting the life expectancy of a fuse in the battery of an electric vehicle. The device includes a sensor that measures the current flowing through the fuse, a processor, and a memory that stores a lookup table and program instructions.
- The device uses a sensor to measure the current flowing through the fuse.
- It has a processor that analyzes the current information and compares it to a preset threshold value.
- The memory stores a lookup table that helps in generating fuse-life expectancy information based on the current information and the time when the current exceeds the threshold value.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicle manufacturers can use this device to monitor the health of fuses in their batteries and predict when they may need to be replaced.
- Service technicians can use this device to proactively identify and replace fuses before they fail, reducing the risk of battery damage or vehicle breakdowns.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The device helps in predicting the life expectancy of fuses, which can prevent unexpected failures and potential damage to the battery or vehicle.
- It allows for proactive maintenance and replacement of fuses, reducing the risk of costly repairs and downtime.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety and reliability of electric vehicles by monitoring and predicting the life expectancy of fuses.
- Cost savings by avoiding unexpected failures and reducing the need for emergency repairs.
- Enhanced battery performance and longevity by ensuring proper functioning of fuses.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device for predicting a life expectancy of a fuse for a battery of an electric vehicle may include a sensor configured to generate and output current information about current flowing in the fuse, a processor, and a memory connected to the processor and configured to store a preset lookup table, the memory storing program instructions which are executable by the processor to generate fuse-life expectancy information corresponding to the fuse based on the lookup table and time corresponding to an excess when the current information exceeds a preset threshold value.
