Anti-Sticking System of Inlet Actuator - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17742820 titled 'Anti-Sticking System of Inlet Actuator
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment system described in this patent application includes several components and features:
- An actuator is mounted in a housing and is designed to respond to the connection state of a charging cable.
- A lever arm is located outside the housing and is connected to the actuator, rotating in sync with its operation.
- A debris removal unit is included in the system to remove any debris that may accumulate on the lever arm.
- A controller is responsible for controlling the actuator's operation based on the connection state of the charging cable (connected or released) and for controlling the debris removal unit when the actuator's operation deviates from the normal range.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This embodiment system can be used in charging stations for electric vehicles to ensure a secure and reliable connection between the charging cable and the vehicle.
- It can also be implemented in various industrial settings where reliable connections are crucial, such as in automated manufacturing processes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The actuator and lever arm combination ensures that the charging cable is properly connected or released, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection or damage.
- The debris removal unit helps maintain the performance and reliability of the system by removing any debris that may hinder the actuator's operation.
Benefits of this technology:
- The system provides a more secure and reliable connection between the charging cable and the device being charged, reducing the risk of interruptions or damage.
- The inclusion of a debris removal unit helps prevent any potential issues caused by debris accumulation, ensuring the system's longevity and performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment system includes an actuator mounted in a housing and configured to be operated in response to a connection state of a charging cable, a lever arm rotatably provided outside the housing and configured to be rotated in conjunction with operation of the actuator, a debris removal unit configured to remove debris on the lever arm, and a controller configured to control the operation of the actuator in response to the connection state of the charging cable being a connected state or a released state and to control the debris removal unit to remove the debris on the lever arm in response to an operational state according to the operation of the actuator deviating from a normal range.
