CONVERTER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239218 titled 'CONVERTER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a converter system for a vehicle that includes various components for power conversion and control, such as a bi-directional converter, gate driver, converter controller, control switch, and battery management system.
- The system includes a bi-directional converter that converts power between a main battery and an auxiliary battery.
- A gate driver applies a PWM signal to control the driving mode of the bi-directional converter.
- A converter controller controls the driving of the gate driver by applying a control signal.
- A control switch connects or disconnects the connection between the converter controller and the gate driver.
- A battery management system applies a control signal to the gate driver based on abnormalities in the converter controller.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Bi-directional converter for power conversion between main and auxiliary batteries.
- Gate driver with PWM signal control for driving mode.
- Converter controller for controlling the gate driver.
- Control switch for connecting or disconnecting the controller and gate driver.
- Battery management system for abnormality detection and control signal application.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other automotive applications requiring efficient power conversion and control systems.
Problems Solved: The system addresses the need for effective power conversion, control, and management between main and auxiliary batteries in vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency in power conversion.
- Enhanced control over driving modes.
- Abnormality detection for better system reliability.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, electric vehicle companies, and suppliers of power conversion systems for vehicles.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the bi-directional converter improve power efficiency in vehicles? 2. What role does the battery management system play in ensuring system reliability and safety?
Original Abstract Submitted
a converter system for a vehicle including: a bi-directional converter electrically connected between a main battery and an auxiliary battery and configured to perform power conversion; a gate driver electrically connected to the bi-directional converter and configured to apply a pwm signal for controlling a driving mode of the bi-directional converter; a converter controller electrically connected to the gate driver and configured to apply a control signal for controlling driving of the gate driver; a control switch interposed between the converter controller and the gate driver and configured to connect or disconnect a connection between the converter controller and the gate driver; and a battery management system electrically connected to the gate driver through the control switch and configured to apply a control signal to control driving of the gate driver based on an abnormality in the converter controller.
