ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION METHOD, MOTOR CONTROL UNIT, CONTROL SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A motor control unit, a control system, and a storage medium. The method of the present invention is applied to the motor control unit and comprises: when a vehicle is in a high-voltage power-on state, obtaining a plurality of effective temperature values for the same motor system; determining a corresponding initial temperature value according to each effective temperature value; determining the minimum value among all calculated initial temperature values as an initial environment temperature; when the vehicle is in a driving state and each initial temperature value is less than or equal to respective corresponding threshold, and the current temperature of a motor no longer rises, calculating differences between the current temperature of the motor and the corresponding initial temperature value and between the current temperature of a cooling liquid and the corresponding initial temperature value; calculating a temperature calibrate amount for the environment temperature according to the calculated differences.
AUTHENTICATION METHOD FOR POWER STORAGE PACK, POWER STORAGE PACK, CHARGING DEVICE, ELECTRIC MOVING BODY, AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC MOVING BODY
A charging device wiredly transmits identification information to a power storage pack after the power storage pack is mounted. The power storage pack transmits via near-field communication a signal including the identification information received from the charging device. The charging device collates whether or not the identification information included in the received signal matches the identification information wiredly transmitted.
POWER STORAGE PACK AUTHENTICATION METHOD, POWER STORAGE PACK, CHARGING DEVICE, ELECTRIC MOBILE BODY, AND ELECTRIC MOBILE BODY CONTROL DEVICE
A first power storage pack wiredly transmits identification information retained in the first power storage pack to a charging device when the first power storage pack is detached from an electric movable body. The charging device wiredly transmits the identification information received from the first power storage pack to a second power storage pack. The controller of the second power storage pack transmits via near-field communication a signal including the identification information received from the charging device. The electric movable body collates whether or not the identification information included in the received signal matches the identification information retained in the first power storage pack.
