Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240181922 titled 'Vehicle

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a vehicle with a power storage device, gas supply unit, vehicle side refrigerant connector, vehicle side electric connector, and gas supply pipe. The power storage device includes an electric connector, refrigerant connector, and ventilation path. The vehicle has a first connection portion for the refrigerant connectors and a second connection portion for the electric connectors, both with closed spaces. The gas supply pipe provides gas to these closed spaces, and a flow detector is included in the ventilation path.

• The vehicle has a power storage device with electric and refrigerant connectors.
• The vehicle includes a gas supply unit and gas supply pipe to provide gas to closed spaces.
• The vehicle has a ventilation path with a flow detector for monitoring gas flow.
