SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17902576 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for controlling the internal temperature of a vehicle when the engine is turned off. The system includes a temperature sensor, a blower, a battery, and a control unit.

  • The temperature sensor measures the internal temperature of the vehicle.
  • The blower discharges cooled air when electric power is supplied to it.
  • The battery provides the electric power.
  • The control unit receives the internal temperature from the sensor and operates the blower.
  • The control unit also controls the electric power from the battery to the blower when the internal temperature is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference temperature, even with the engine turned off.

Potential Applications

  • This system can be used in vehicles to maintain a comfortable internal temperature even when the engine is turned off, such as during parking or waiting periods.
  • It can be particularly useful in hot climates where vehicles can quickly become uncomfortably hot.

Problems Solved

  • The system solves the problem of maintaining a comfortable internal temperature in a vehicle when the engine is turned off.
  • It prevents the vehicle from becoming too hot, which can be uncomfortable and potentially dangerous.

Benefits

  • The system ensures a comfortable environment for occupants even when the engine is not running.
  • It can help reduce the need for excessive use of air conditioning when the engine is turned on, leading to energy savings.
  • The system can improve overall comfort and convenience for vehicle owners.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for controlling an internal temperature of a vehicle when an engine is turned off includes a temperature sensor configured to measure an internal temperature (Ti) of a vehicle; a first blower configured to discharge cooled air when an electric power is supplied to the first blower; a battery; and a control unit electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first blower and configured to receive the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle from the temperature sensor, and to operate the first blower, in which the control unit electrically connected to the battery is configured to control an electric power of the battery to be applied to the first blower when the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference temperature (Tr) in a state where an engine of the vehicle is turned off.
