Application: Junction box having parallel switch failure detection (Patent ID: US20240072639A1)
The patent filed by Lear Corp describes a junction box with parallel-connected switches, current sensors, and a controller that can detect and respond to switch failures based on current imbalances. The controller can modify the operation of the junction box when a switch is detected as failed, determining the failure by comparing the current through different switches. The system can detect failures in multiple sets of switches and generate warning notifications when necessary.
The junction box system outlined in the patent includes various configurations of switches, current sensors, and controllers to effectively monitor and respond to switch failures. By sensing current through different switches and comparing them, the controller can identify failed switches and adjust the operation of the junction box accordingly. The system is designed to ensure proper functioning and safety by detecting imbalances in current flow and taking appropriate actions to address switch failures, ultimately enhancing the reliability and performance of the junction box.
