BATTERY CHARGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602565 titled 'BATTERY CHARGER

The abstract describes a battery charger with a housing that has various components such as support structures, air inlets, air outlets, charger electronics, and a fan to facilitate the charging process.

  • The housing includes support structures to connect to a battery pack, air inlets and outlets for airflow, and charger electronics for charging the battery pack.
  • A fan is integrated into the housing to generate airflow that helps cool the charger electronics and maintain optimal operating conditions.
  • The charger is designed to efficiently charge the battery pack by providing a charging current through the charger electronics.
  • The airflow created by the fan circulates through the housing, ensuring proper ventilation and cooling of the internal components.
  • Overall, the design of the battery charger aims to enhance the charging process and prolong the lifespan of the battery pack.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require battery charging, such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. - It can also be applied in industrial settings where battery packs are used for powering machinery and equipment.

Problems Solved: - Ensures efficient and safe charging of battery packs. - Prevents overheating of charger electronics. - Extends the lifespan of battery packs by providing proper ventilation.

Benefits: - Faster and more efficient charging of battery packs. - Improved safety during the charging process. - Longer lifespan of battery packs due to optimal operating conditions.

Commercial Applications: - The technology can be utilized by consumer electronics companies to improve the charging experience for their products. - It can also be integrated into electric vehicle charging stations to enhance the efficiency of charging processes.

Questions about Battery Charger Technology: 1. How does the airflow generated by the fan contribute to the overall performance of the battery charger? 2. What are the key factors that determine the compatibility of this battery charger with different types of battery packs?


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery charger includes a housing defining a first end, second end, front side, rear side, top side, and bottom side. The housing also defines a first support structure to selectively couple to a battery pack and a second support structure to selectively couple to the battery pack. The housing further defines a first air inlet located in the front side and a second air inlet located in the rear side. The housing also defines a first air outlet located in the first end and a second air outlet located in the second end. Charger electronics are supported in the housing and operable to output a charging current to charge the battery pack. A fan is operable to generate an airflow through the housing. The airflow extends from the first air inlet and the second air inlet to the first air outlet and the second air outlet.
