BATTERY REPLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322333 titled 'BATTERY REPLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for replacing batteries in a battery pack using antennas, a camera, and controllers to locate and replace specific battery modules.

The system includes antennas to communicate with battery modules, a camera to capture images of the modules, and controllers to process this data.
The first controller generates position information of a target battery module based on image data from the camera and beacon signals from the module.
A battery module replacement device uses this information to replace the target module with a new one.

Key Features and Innovation:

Integration of antennas, a camera, and controllers for efficient battery replacement.
Use of image data and beacon signals to accurately locate and replace specific battery modules.

Potential Applications:

Automotive industry for electric vehicles.
Industrial applications with large battery packs.
Consumer electronics for efficient battery maintenance.

Problems Solved:

Streamlining battery replacement processes.
Ensuring accurate positioning of battery modules.
Enhancing overall battery pack maintenance.

Benefits:

Improved efficiency in battery replacement.
Reduced downtime for battery pack maintenance.
Enhanced longevity of battery packs.

Commercial Applications: Battery replacement systems for electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and consumer electronics.

Questions about Battery Replacement System: 1. How does the system ensure the accurate positioning of the new battery module? 2. What are the potential cost savings for companies using this system?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in battery pack maintenance and automation technologies for improved efficiency and sustainability.

Original Abstract Submitted

one or more embodiments provides a battery replacement system including antennas, a camera, a first controller configured to generate position information of a first target battery module based on image data received from the camera and corresponding to battery modules inside a battery pack, and based on a beacon signal received from the first target battery module through the antennas, and a battery module replacement device configured to replace the first target battery module with a new battery module based on the position information.
