Vehicle and Power Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278661 titled 'Vehicle and Power Apparatus
The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle with a vehicle inlet for connecting a vehicle plug that allows external power feed, an electronic lock to secure the vehicle inlet and plug, and a vehicle controller to manage the electronic lock. The controller restricts the release of the lock if the external power feed exceeds 16 A when a user requests to unlock it, but allows the lock to be released if the power feed is 16 A or lower.
- Vehicle includes a vehicle inlet and electronic lock for securing external power feed connection.
- Vehicle controller manages the electronic lock and restricts release if power feed exceeds 16 A.
- Lock can be released if power feed is equal to or lower than 16 A upon user request.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Charging stations - Fleet management systems
Problems Solved: - Prevents unauthorized access to vehicle power feed - Ensures safe and controlled power transfer
Benefits: - Enhanced security for vehicle power supply - Prevents damage from excessive power flow - User-friendly control system
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Vehicle Power Management System" This technology can be utilized in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, fleet management systems, and smart city initiatives to enhance power supply security and control.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the electronic lock system enhance the security of the vehicle power supply? - The electronic lock system prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle power feed, ensuring safe and controlled power transfer. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond electric vehicles? - This technology can also be applied in charging stations, fleet management systems, and smart city initiatives for enhanced power supply security and control.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle includes a vehicle inlet to which a vehicle plug that allows external power feed is connected, an electronic lock that locks the vehicle inlet and the vehicle plug, and a vehicle controller that controls the electronic lock. when output in external power feed is larger than 16 a (a prescribed value) at the time of reception of a request for release of locking by the electronic lock from a user, the vehicle controller prohibits release of locking by the electronic lock. when the output in external power feed is equal to or lower than 16 a at the time of reception of the request for release of locking by the electronic lock from the user, the vehicle controller releases locking by the electronic lock.
