BATTERY MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18241453 titled 'BATTERY MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR
The battery management device described in the patent application is designed to optimize the charging process of a battery used in a vehicle by determining the best charging points along a driving route.
- The device includes a battery, a battery system for measuring temperature and state of charge (SOC) of the battery, and a processor.
- The processor calculates estimated battery temperature and SOC values at stopovers on the driving route to a destination.
- Based on these estimates, the processor determines the minimum charging time required at each stopover to reach a preset capacity.
- The device then recommends a stopover as the optimal charging point to the user, providing guidance for efficient charging.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Battery-powered devices
Problems Solved: - Optimizing battery charging process - Maximizing battery life - Enhancing user convenience
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in charging - Extended battery lifespan - Improved user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Battery Management System for Efficient Charging in Electric Vehicles" This technology could be utilized by electric vehicle manufacturers to enhance the charging process for their vehicles, improving overall performance and user satisfaction in the market.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device calculate the estimated battery temperature and SOC values at stopovers? The processor uses data from the battery system to make these calculations based on the expected driving route. 2. What factors determine the recommended charging point as the optimal stopover? The device considers the minimum charging time required at each stopover to reach a preset capacity, selecting the point with the shortest time as the optimal charging location.
Original Abstract Submitted
The battery management device may include a battery that provides energy to a drive motor that drives a vehicle, a battery system which is configured for measuring a temperature and an state of charge (SOC) value of the battery and is configured to control the temperature of the battery and a processor. The processor is configured to determine an estimated battery temperature and an estimated SOC value of the battery at each of at least one stopover on an expected driving route of the vehicle to reach a destination of the vehicle, determine an estimated charging time for charging the battery to a preset capacity at the stopovers based on the estimated battery temperature and the estimated SOC value, determine a stopover, as a recommended charging point, where the estimated charging time is minimum among the stopovers and provide a user with a guidance for the recommended charging point.
