Apparatus for Controlling Diagnostic of a Battery Pack, Battery System Having the Same and Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157799 titled 'Apparatus for Controlling Diagnostic of a Battery Pack, Battery System Having the Same and Method Thereof

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a battery pack diagnosis control apparatus, a battery system including the same, and a method thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a battery system including at least one battery pack, a flight control apparatus, a battery control apparatus, and at least one battery pack control apparatus.

Battery system components:

   - At least one battery pack
   - Flight control apparatus
   - Battery control apparatus
   - At least one battery pack control apparatus

Functions of the components:

   - Flight control apparatus transmits battery discharge mode command or motor discharge command
   - Battery control apparatus transmits relay control command and diagnosis command
   - Battery pack control apparatus controls relay and diagnoses battery pack failure

Battery pack diagnosis process:

   - Relay control based on relay control command
   - Failure diagnosis by measuring current of the battery pack

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in electric vehicles, drones, and other battery-powered systems where monitoring and diagnosing battery packs are crucial.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient monitoring of battery pack health 2. Quick diagnosis of battery pack failures

Benefits

1. Enhanced safety by detecting battery pack failures early 2. Improved performance by ensuring optimal battery pack operation

Potential Commercial Applications

"Advanced Battery Pack Diagnosis Control Technology for Electric Vehicles and Drones" can be used in electric vehicle manufacturing, drone production, and other industries relying on battery-powered systems.

Possible Prior Art

There are existing battery management systems that monitor battery health, but the specific relay control and diagnosis commands described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the battery control apparatus determine when to transmit the relay control command or diagnosis command?

The patent abstract does not specify the criteria or triggers for the battery control apparatus to send these commands.

What specific measurements are taken to diagnose a failure in the battery pack?

The abstract mentions measuring the current of the battery pack, but it does not detail the specific parameters or methods used for this diagnosis.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a battery pack diagnosis control apparatus, a battery system including the same, and a method thereof. an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a battery system including: at least one battery pack; a flight control apparatus configured to transmit at least one of a battery discharge mode command or a motor discharge command; a battery control apparatus configured to transmit a relay control command for a relay based on receiving the battery discharge mode command, and transmit a diagnosis command based on receiving the motor discharge command; and at least one battery pack control apparatus configured to control the relay based on receiving the relay control command, and diagnose a failure of the at least one battery pack by measuring a current of the at least one battery pack based on receiving the diagnosis command.
