VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17900523 titled 'VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle system that includes a main battery, an auxiliary battery, and multiple loads connected to these batteries. The system also includes a main controller and multiple load controllers.

  • The main controller determines the total amount of available power based on the power available from the main battery and the auxiliary battery.
  • The load controllers receive the total amount of available power from the main controller and decide whether to operate each load based on this information.
  • If the total available power is sufficient, the load controllers will operate the loads that require power.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles: This system can be used in electric vehicles to efficiently manage power distribution among different loads.
  • Hybrid vehicles: The system can also be applied in hybrid vehicles to optimize power usage between the main battery and the auxiliary battery.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power management: The system ensures that power is distributed optimally among the different loads, preventing overloading or underutilization of the batteries.
  • Load prioritization: The load controllers determine which loads should be operated based on the available power, ensuring that critical loads are given priority.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved battery life: By effectively managing power distribution, the system helps extend the lifespan of the batteries.
  • Enhanced vehicle performance: The system ensures that the vehicle's power needs are met, allowing for smooth operation of various loads.
  • Energy efficiency: By avoiding unnecessary power consumption, the system helps improve the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes a main battery; an auxiliary battery; a plurality of loads connected to the main battery and auxiliary battery; a main controller configured to determine a total amount of available power according to an amount of available power of each of the main battery and the auxiliary battery; and a plurality of load controllers communicatively connected to the main controller and configured to receive the total amount of available power from the main controller and determine whether to operate each of the loads electrically connected to the load controllers based on the received total amount of available power, wherein the plurality of load controllers are configured to control to operate a load requiring an operation among the plurality of loads, when the total amount of available power determined by the main controller is greater than or equal to an amount of power required for the operation of the load requiring the operation.
