DC-DC CONVERTER, A VEHICLE INCLUDING THE CONVERTER, AND A CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092187 titled 'DC-DC CONVERTER, A VEHICLE INCLUDING THE CONVERTER, AND A CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a DC-DC converter that can efficiently detect and respond to miscoupling of a connector. The converter includes a first inlet corresponding to a first DC terminal, a transformation circuit connected to the first DC terminal and a second DC terminal, and a converter controller. The controller determines if a connector coupled to the first inlet is miscoupled based on the voltage of the first DC terminal following a voltage command.
- DC-DC converter capable of detecting and responding to miscoupling of a connector
- Includes first inlet, transformation circuit, and converter controller

Possible Prior Art
Prior art in the field of DC-DC converters may include patents or publications related to connector detection and control mechanisms in power electronics.
Unanswered Questions
How does the converter controller determine if a connector is miscoupled based on the voltage of the first DC terminal?
The converter controller likely compares the voltage of the first DC terminal with the voltage command received from an external controller to detect any discrepancies that may indicate miscoupling.
Are there any specific safety features implemented in the DC-DC converter to prevent damage in case of miscoupling?
Safety features such as overcurrent protection or automatic shutdown mechanisms may be included in the DC-DC converter to prevent damage in case of miscoupling.
Original Abstract Submitted
a direct current to direct current (dc-dc) converter, a vehicle including the converter, and a controlling method thereof are proposed. the dc-dc converter is capable of efficiently detecting and responding to miscoupling of a connector. the dc-dc converter includes a first inlet corresponding to a first dc terminal, a transformation circuit connected to the first dc terminal and a second dc terminal while being located therebetween, and a converter controller, wherein when receiving a voltage command corresponding to the first dc terminal from an external controller, the converter controller is configured to determine whether or not a connector coupled to the first inlet is miscoupled thereto based on whether or not a voltage of the first dc terminal follows the voltage command.
