Method for Battery Conditioning of Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059694 titled 'Method for Battery Conditioning of Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling the thermal management system of a vehicle based on charging scheduling information, battery temperature, and real-time traffic information.
- The method receives information about when the vehicle is scheduled to depart and the destination set by the user.
- It determines if the remaining time to the scheduled departure has reached a certain threshold.
- The method also calculates the required battery conditioning time to reach a target temperature.
- It then estimates the total required time to reach the destination by considering real-time traffic information.
- If the estimated time to reach the destination is less than the required battery conditioning time, the method adjusts the current battery temperature to the target temperature by controlling the thermal management system of the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: receiving charging scheduling information including a scheduled vehicle departure time and a destination set by a user through an interface unit; determining whether a remaining time to the scheduled vehicle departure time from a current time has reached a set time; determining a required battery conditioning time required until a current battery temperature reaches a preset target temperature; determining a total estimated required time to arrival at the destination from the current time by reflecting real-time traffic information; and performing control of a thermal management system of the vehicle by adjusting the current battery temperature to the target temperature when the determined total estimated required time is less than the determined required battery conditioning time.
