AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electric vehicle charging systems require a large housing to accommodate high-temperature resistant components near the socket due to the sensitivity of PWM control signals to external noise and voltage drop, limiting design flexibility and safety.

Method used

The system separates the control module and socket module into different enclosures, allowing high-temperature resistant components to be housed separately from the socket, with digital control signals transmitted between them to reduce interference and enable compact design.

Benefits of technology

This separation reduces thermal generation and enhances safety by allowing non-energized environments around the socket when not in use, while maintaining secure and encrypted communication.
