CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240128796 titled 'CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a power transfer system for electric vehicles using capacitive coupling between conductor plates.

  • The system includes an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) providing power to the electric vehicle (EV) through a first conductor plate connected to the EVSE.
  • A compensation circuit transfers the power input signal from the EVSE to the first conductor plate.
  • A second conductor plate in the EV is connected to the electric power reception device.
  • A secondary-side circuit transfers the power signal received by the second conductor plate to a load.
  • Electric power is transferred from the EVSE to the EV through capacitive coupling between the first and second conductor plates.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Electric vehicle charging systems
  • Wireless power transfer systems

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates the need for physical connectors for power transfer
  • Increases convenience and safety in charging electric vehicles

Benefits

  • Simplified and efficient power transfer process
  • Reduced wear and tear on physical connectors
  • Enhanced user experience for electric vehicle owners

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Electric vehicle charging stations
  • Smart home energy management systems

Possible Prior Art

One example of prior art in wireless power transfer for electric vehicles is the use of inductive coupling technology, which requires precise alignment between the transmitter and receiver coils for efficient power transfer.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system ensure efficient power transfer over varying distances between the conductor plates?

The abstract does not provide details on how the system compensates for changes in distance between the first and second conductor plates during power transfer.

What safety measures are in place to prevent electrical hazards during power transfer?

The abstract does not mention any specific safety features or protocols implemented in the power transfer system to ensure user safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

a power transfer system includes an electric vehicle supply equipment (evse) for providing electric power to an electric vehicle (ev) and an electric power reception device mounted in the ev; a first conductor plate electrically connected to a primary-side circuit of the evse; a compensation circuit for transferring a power input signal of the evse to the first conductor plate; a second conductor plate disposed in the ev and connected to the electric power reception device; and a secondary-side circuit for transferring a power signal received by the second conductor plate to a load, where the electric power is transferred from the evse to the ev by capacitive coupling between the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate.
