PRE-CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR BATTERY OF VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17984522 titled 'PRE-CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR BATTERY OF VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for pre-conditioning the battery of a vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method starts by receiving the destination of the vehicle.
- It then generates a route to the destination and searches for battery charging stations along the route.
- The method checks if each charging station meets a specific environmental condition.
- If a charging station satisfies the condition, its path is added to the destination route.
- The method also checks if the vehicle's battery meets a specific state condition.
- If the condition is met, the battery is warmed at a predetermined time.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: This method can be used in electric vehicles to optimize battery charging and ensure the battery is in an optimal state before starting a trip.
- Fleet management: Fleet managers can use this method to plan routes for their electric vehicle fleets, ensuring efficient charging and battery maintenance.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Range anxiety: By identifying and adding charging stations along the route, this method helps alleviate concerns about running out of battery power during a trip.
- Battery degradation: Pre-conditioning the battery before a trip can help improve its performance and extend its lifespan.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced convenience: The method simplifies the process of finding and adding charging stations to the route, making it easier for drivers to plan their trips.
- Optimal battery performance: By warming the battery at the right time, the method ensures that the battery operates at its best, improving overall vehicle performance.
- Extended battery life: Pre-conditioning the battery can help minimize wear and tear, leading to a longer lifespan for the battery.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of the pre-conditioning system for a battery of a vehicle includes: receiving an input of a destination of the vehicle; generating and outputting a destination route to the destination; searching for information on one or more battery charging stations located within a predetermined range on or around the destination route; determining whether each of the searched battery charging stations satisfies a preset environmental condition; adding a charging station path to a charging station selected among charging stations provided with the environmental condition to the destination route; determining whether the battery of the vehicle satisfies a preset state condition; and warming the battery at a preset time point when the preset state condition is satisfied.
