ON-BOARD SWITCHING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546659 titled 'ON-BOARD SWITCHING DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes an on-board switching device that includes a switching circuit with multiple conduction paths for controlling the flow of current between batteries in series and parallel connection states.
- The device has a first conduction path for current flow in a series connection state and no current flow in a parallel connection state.
- It also has a second conduction path for current flow in the parallel connection state and no current flow in the series connection state.
- A third conduction path forms a path between the negative electrode of a first battery and the positive electrode of a second battery in the series connection state, and between both positive or negative electrodes in the parallel connection state.
- A current detection unit is included to monitor the current flowing through the third conduction path.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Hybrid power systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of battery connections - Optimizing power distribution - Preventing overloading and short circuits
Benefits: - Improved battery performance - Enhanced safety features - Increased energy efficiency

Original Abstract Submitted
An on-board switching device includes: a switching circuit; a first conduction path through which a current flows in a series connection state and no current flows in a parallel connection state; a second conduction path through which a current flows in the parallel connection state and no current flows in the series connection state; a third conduction path that forms a path between a negative electrode of a first battery and a positive electrode of a second battery in the series connection state and forms a path between both positive electrodes or between both negative electrodes of the first battery and the second battery in the parallel connection state; and a current detection unit that detects a current flowing through the third conduction path.
