Apparatus and Method for Controlling Charging of Mobility - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157833 titled 'Apparatus and Method for Controlling Charging of Mobility
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment apparatus described in the abstract is a system designed to control the charging of a mobility device by monitoring the battery voltage and adjusting the charging voltage accordingly.
- The sensor in the apparatus measures the battery voltage of the mobility device while a reference current is input.
- The controller then determines the rated voltage of the battery based on the amount of change in the battery voltage compared to a reference value.
- If the battery voltage exceeds a first threshold value and is less than a second threshold value, the controller sets a charging voltage corresponding to the rated voltage.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, scooters, and other battery-powered mobility devices to optimize the charging process and extend battery life.
Problems Solved
This apparatus helps prevent overcharging or undercharging of the battery, which can lead to reduced battery life and performance issues in mobility devices.
Benefits
- Prolongs battery life - Improves overall performance of the mobility device - Ensures efficient charging process
Potential Commercial Applications
- Electric vehicle industry - Scooter rental companies - Battery manufacturers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing battery management systems used in electric vehicles or other battery-powered devices to monitor and control the charging process.
What is the specific reference value used to determine the rated voltage in this apparatus?
The specific reference value used to determine the rated voltage in this apparatus is the amount of change in the battery voltage compared to a reference value.
How does the apparatus adjust the charging voltage based on the battery voltage readings?
The apparatus adjusts the charging voltage by setting it to correspond to the rated voltage when the battery voltage exceeds a first threshold value and is less than a second threshold value.
Original Abstract Submitted
an embodiment apparatus for controlling charging of a mobility includes a sensor configured to measure a battery voltage of a battery of the mobility to which a reference current is input and a controller configured to determine a rated voltage of the battery according to whether an amount of change in the battery voltage exceeds a reference value and to set a charging voltage corresponding to the rated voltage based on a determination that the battery voltage exceeds a first threshold value and is less than a second threshold value.
