Mobile WebSiteAccording to the latest newsletter from Tesla, Tesla has proposed an innovative solution for automatic charging, and the new solution also uses an external cooling system that enables fast charging, Slavs' new patent combines "fast charging" with "automatic charging".
With the popularity of electric vehicles, a new generation of electric car charging stations are also gradually established. In the vast majority of manufacturers in the focus on creating the highest rate of charging system, Tesla car also aimed at the automatic charging system. It is reported that the automatic charging system is Tesla to build a fully automatic driving effort part, and Tesla's goal is to make the infrastructure can also achieve the automation of charging.
Tesla's latest patent shows that Tesla, while building a high-speed charging system, is also working on an automated charging system and a combination of fast charging and automatic charging to create potential solutions.
It is reported that Tesla as early as 2014 to apply for the patent, and in 2016 updated patent applications. In early April this year, Tesla finally got this patent.
According to the patent document, the patent is entitled & quot; Charging Station powered Thermal Conditioning of Electric Vehicle during Charging Session & quot; in the charging section. The patent says that through a ground-mounted system, the car battery pack can be automatically charged, and through an external cooling system, you can make the battery charge rate higher.
The important illustrations and key factors in the new patent are shown below:
According to the document, the new patent's form factor is similar to the wireless inductive charging solution. But because the new patent is wired (wired), so its charging efficiency may be slightly higher. The new patent on the thermal regulation system works as follows: "The initial contact signal between the car and the charging station is sent by wireless means (such as Bluetooth, etc.), the signal will be used for electric vehicles and charging stations of the interactive docking.In response, The most appropriate means of contact between the car and the charging pile will be established, which includes the power connection of the charge (and, in some cases, the thermally adjusted liquid cooling connection will be established during charging). The temperature demand signal, or other form of heat treatment information, will be sent to the charging station via an electrical connector.
In the case of DC charging, the battery will heat and affect the charge rate. Therefore, in the car periphery, the configuration of a more powerful cooling system can bring higher charging efficiency. The Tesla CEO Elon Maaske had previously hinted that in the third generation Tesla Supercharger, the charging efficiency can even more than 350 kilowatts. However, the drawback of the new patent is that the system is installed on the ground, which adds to some extent the complexity of the system, especially compared to the previously displayed "metal snake" mobile charging solution.
Of course, this does not mean that any of the above patented technologies will be widely promoted in the market. However, according to Tesla's newly acquired Fremont building (Fremont) building construction license, Tesla may be in the new plant production "automatic parking version of the Supercharger", which in some extent greatly increased the new Patent utility possible.
Since both technologies can achieve automatic parking, perhaps the new patent will be part of Tesla's fully autopilot vehicle. And, to a large extent, the new patent solution is more likely than the battery swap system.
Finally, once again, Tesla's patent application is not always translated into a truly practical business technology. Therefore, for Tesla's new patent, the outside world is not too excited, on the contrary, we can learn from Tesla to solve new ideas, or understand the latest technology trends Tesla. After all, sometimes, when Tesla thinks that a technology is very interesting when it will go to apply for a patent ... ... Source: Netease car
