CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123794 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic control device for a vehicle that includes an engine, a motor driven by the engine, and an air conditioner. The device limits the power consumption of the motor compressor that drives the air conditioner when the state-of-charge value of the main battery is below a certain threshold in a high-altitude environment. Additionally, the operation of the air conditioner is stopped when the state-of-charge value is below a lower determination value.
- The device limits power consumption of the motor compressor in high-altitude environments to preserve battery power.
- The air conditioner operation is automatically stopped when the battery charge is low to prevent further depletion.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles operating in high-altitude environments where power management is crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of power consumption in electric vehicles in high-altitude environments, ensuring efficient use of battery power.
Benefits
- Improved battery management in high-altitude environments - Increased efficiency of electric vehicle operation
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Power Consumption in High-Altitude Environments for Electric Vehicles"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to power management systems in electric vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine the specific threshold for power consumption in high-altitude environments?
The patent application does not detail the specific method or algorithm used to determine the threshold for power consumption in high-altitude environments.
What impact does stopping the air conditioner operation have on the overall comfort of the vehicle occupants?
The patent application does not discuss the potential effects on passenger comfort when the air conditioner operation is stopped due to low battery charge.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic control device of a vehicle including an engine, a motor rotationally driven by the engine, and an air conditioner includes: (a) limiting a power consumption of a motor compressor that drives the air conditioner to be less than a predetermined amount when a state-of-charge value soc of a main battery that is charged by electric power generated by the motor is less than a determination value soc in a case where the engine is running in an engine using the engine as a power source and the vehicle is in a predetermined high-altitude environment; (b) the operation of the air conditioner is stopped when the state-of-charge value soc is less than a determination value soc that is lower than a determination value.
