SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17902576 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for controlling the internal temperature of a vehicle when the engine is turned off. The system includes a temperature sensor, a blower, a battery, and a control unit.

  • The temperature sensor measures the internal temperature of the vehicle.
  • The blower discharges cooled air when electric power is supplied to it.
  • The battery provides the electric power.
  • The control unit receives the internal temperature from the sensor and operates the blower.
  • The control unit also controls the electric power from the battery to the blower based on the internal temperature of the vehicle.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This system can be implemented in vehicles to maintain a comfortable internal temperature even when the engine is turned off.
  • Electric vehicles: It can be particularly useful in electric vehicles where the engine is not running, but the occupants still require temperature control.
  • Autonomous vehicles: This system can contribute to the comfort of passengers in autonomous vehicles during periods of engine shutdown.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Maintaining internal temperature: The system ensures that the internal temperature of the vehicle remains comfortable even when the engine is turned off.
  • Energy efficiency: By controlling the electric power to the blower based on the internal temperature, the system optimizes energy usage and extends the battery life.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Comfort: Occupants can enjoy a comfortable internal temperature in the vehicle even when the engine is not running.
  • Energy savings: The system efficiently manages the electric power to the blower, reducing energy consumption and improving overall energy efficiency.
  • Extended battery life: By optimizing the use of electric power, the system helps prolong the battery life of the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for controlling an internal temperature of a vehicle when an engine is turned off includes a temperature sensor configured to measure an internal temperature (Ti) of a vehicle; a first blower configured to discharge cooled air when an electric power is supplied to the first blower; a battery; and a control unit electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first blower and configured to receive the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle from the temperature sensor, and to operate the first blower, in which the control unit electrically connected to the battery is configured to control an electric power of the battery to be applied to the first blower when the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference temperature (Tr) in a state where an engine of the vehicle is turned off.
