A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888343B2) discloses a moving object designed to protect a converter, featuring a first battery and a second battery with higher voltage output. The converter converts voltage from the first battery to provide to the second battery, with a protector controlling the first battery's voltage based on a protection condition. A processor determines the required first battery output when the protection condition is met, considering a target voltage difference and the moving object's control request, subsequently managing the first battery's output. Additionally, the protector is deactivated when a release condition is reached, set higher than the protection condition, allowing the processor to adjust the first battery output based on the control request.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for safeguarding a converter in a moving object, involving voltage conversion from the first battery to the higher-voltage second battery. The protector regulates the first battery's voltage upon reaching a protection condition, while the processor calculates the necessary first battery output based on the target voltage difference and control request. In cases where the protection condition is not met, the processor determines the required first battery output without the protector's operation. The method also includes provisions for managing power distribution to load devices, such as a wheel motor, based on the converter's power output, ensuring efficient operation and protection of the system. Overall, the patent highlights innovative techniques for optimizing battery usage and protecting critical components in moving objects.
