VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463592 titled 'VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle power supply system that includes a battery supplying electric power to an in-vehicle load. The system comprises an acquisition unit that gathers information on the battery's discharging, a derivation unit that calculates the current life discharge amount of the battery based on the discharging information and a correlation between the battery's discharge depth and life discharge amount, and a calculation unit that determines the softening deterioration state of the battery using the derived current life discharge amount and discharging information.
- Acquisition unit gathers information on battery discharging
- Derivation unit calculates current life discharge amount based on discharging information and correlation with discharge depth
- Calculation unit determines softening deterioration state based on current life discharge amount and discharging information
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-powered vehicles to monitor and manage battery health effectively.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient monitoring of battery discharging information 2. Accurate calculation of battery life discharge amount
Benefits
1. Prolongs battery lifespan 2. Improves overall vehicle performance 3. Enhances safety by preventing unexpected battery failures
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Battery Health Monitoring System for Electric Vehicles"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing battery management systems in the automotive industry that monitor battery health, but the specific method described in this patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between normal discharging and abnormal discharging of the battery?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system distinguishes between regular battery discharging and potentially harmful discharging patterns.
What specific parameters are used to calculate the softening deterioration state of the battery?
The application mentions determining the softening deterioration state based on the current life discharge amount, but it does not specify the exact parameters or thresholds used in this calculation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle power supply system including a battery that supplies electric power to an in-vehicle load, comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires information on discharging of a battery; a derivation unit that derives a current life discharge amount of the battery based on information on discharging of the battery acquired by the acquisition unit and a correlation between a discharge depth of the battery and a life discharge amount; and an calculation unit that calculates data related to determination of a softening deterioration state of the battery based on the current life discharge amount of the battery derived by the derivation unit and information on discharging of the battery acquired by the acquisition unit.
