Electrical storage system

An electrical storage system includes a relay switching between an on state where an electrical storage device (10) is connected to a load and an off state where connection of the electrical storage device with the load is interrupted; a controller controlling an on-off state of the relay; and a current interruption circuit (60) interrupting energization of the electrical storage device. The current interruption circuit includes an alarm circuit (63) outputting an alarm signal indicating that any one electrical storage block is in an overcharged state by comparing a voltage value of each electrical storage block with a threshold; a latch circuit (64) retaining the alarm signal; a transistor (66) causing the relay to switch from the on state to the off state upon reception of an output signal of the latch circuit; and a power supply circuit (63d) generating electric power for operating the latch circuit using electric power of the electrical storage device.

Automatic correction device for erroneous acceleration of automobile
12187119 · 2025-01-07 · ·

The present disclosure discloses an automatic correction device for erroneous acceleration of an automobile, which includes an accelerator pedal, a robotic arm, and an acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor is connected to a central control computer of the automobile. An error correction control box is arranged on a front cab baffle in front of the robotic arm. An elastic damper having a signal switch is arranged on a side wall of the error correction control box directly facing the robotic arm. The accelerator pedal enables the robotic arm abuts against the elastic damper. When excessive depression is applied, the elastic damper is compressed and deformed by the robotic arm and triggers the signal switch. After the signal switch is triggered, a clear warning sound or a humming sound is sent to prompt a driver to stop the excessive depression.

Onboard motor controller

There is provided an onboard motor controller that starts a failsafe process in short time at a vehicle collision. A control circuit in the motor controller acquires an acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor. When the acceleration is equal to or higher than a prescribed value, the control circuit determines that a collision of the vehicle has occurred, and executes a switching process of a control mode of a motor. The control circuit immediately switches the control mode of a motor from voltage phase control to current vector control when the collision is detected. The control circuit reads current values from current detectors. When an overcurrent is detected, the control circuit executes a failsafe process to turn off the MOSFETs of an inverter. The control circuit stops a supply of electricity to the inverter by turning off a power supply relay, thereby stopping the rotation of the motor.
