RELAY UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240297006 titled 'RELAY UNIT
The abstract describes a relay unit that includes a first busbar, a relay device, a second busbar, and a heat dissipation structure. The first busbar forms part of an electric current path between a connecting portion, a charging connector of an external charging device, and an in-vehicle battery. The relay device is located on the first busbar, while the second busbar forms part of an electric current path between the in-vehicle battery and a power conversion device. The first busbar branches at a branch portion from the second busbar, extending an electric current path from the branch portion to the connection portion via the relay device. The heat dissipation structure dissipates heat from at least a part of the first busbar between the branch portion and the relay device.
- The relay unit includes a first busbar that connects an external charging device to an in-vehicle battery.
- A relay device is positioned on the first busbar to control the flow of electricity.
- A second busbar connects the in-vehicle battery to a power conversion device.
- The first busbar branches off from the second busbar and includes an electric current path from the branch portion to the connection portion via the relay device.
- A heat dissipation structure is in place to dissipate heat from the first busbar between the branch portion and the relay device.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging systems - Energy management systems in vehicles - Power distribution systems in automotive applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient and controlled flow of electricity between external charging devices and in-vehicle batteries - Heat dissipation to prevent overheating of electrical components
