BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18385030 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The abstract describes a battery pack that includes a battery cell, a DC/DC converter, an OR circuit, a power supply circuit, a control circuit, and a first switch. The battery pack is designed to supply control power to an external control circuit in the event of a power failure.
- The battery pack includes a battery cell and a DC/DC converter that generates control power from battery power.
- An OR circuit outputs control power with a higher voltage level from either an external power supply device or the first control power.
- A power supply circuit generates driving power using the control power from the OR circuit.
- A control circuit is driven by the driving power.
- A first switch is controlled by the control circuit and is connected between the DC/DC converter output terminal and an external terminal.
Potential Applications: - Emergency backup power supply systems - Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units - Portable electronic devices with fail-safe mechanisms
Problems Solved: - Ensuring continuous power supply to critical systems during power outages - Preventing data loss in electronic devices due to sudden power failures
Benefits: - Reliable power supply in case of emergencies - Enhanced protection for electronic devices - Seamless transition to backup power without interruptions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Emergency Backup Power Solutions for Critical Systems" This technology can be used in industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, and data centers where uninterrupted power supply is crucial for operations.
Questions about Battery Pack with Fail-Safe Mechanism: 1. How does the OR circuit prioritize control power sources in the battery pack? The OR circuit outputs control power with a higher voltage level from either an external power supply device or the first control power, ensuring a seamless transition to backup power in case of a power failure.
2. What are the key components of the battery pack that enable it to supply control power during power outages? The key components include the battery cell, DC/DC converter, OR circuit, power supply circuit, control circuit, and first switch, working together to ensure continuous power supply to external control circuits.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack includes a battery including at least one battery cell, a DC/DC converter configured to generate first control power from battery power of the battery, an OR circuit configured to output control power having a higher voltage level from among second control power received from an external power supply device through a first external terminal and the first control power, a power supply circuit configured to generate driving power by using the control power received from the OR circuit, a control circuit driven by the driving power, and a first switch connected between an output terminal of the DC/DC converter and a second external terminal and controlled by the control circuit; the battery pack supplies the external control circuit with the control power generated by the DC/DC converter in the event of a power failure.
