Abstract
Description
-1- TARIFF CHARGING CAP SENSOR Technical Area The present invention relates to a charging cap for electric vehicles. The invention specifically addresses the problem of electric vehicle charging ports being left open and adverse weather conditions. In order to prevent adverse situations from occurring if the lid is left open under these conditions. This relates to the developed charging cap sensor system. 10 State of the Art In electric vehicles, the cover of the charging port is opened and the plug is inserted to charge the vehicle. The process is being initiated. After charging, unplug the charger and close the power outlet cover on the vehicle. It is being completed. However, if the charging port cover is left open after this process, the driver can resume normal driving. Since the driver did not receive any information about the cover being left open when it passed through, the charging socket inside 20 If it's raining, rainwater or snowmelt can get into the outlet, causing insulation problems in the vehicle. This situation negatively impacts electric vehicles and leads to many problems. It prepares the ground. In application number EP4434856 (A1), it was reported that the charging port cover was accidentally damaged by an external 25 a different technical solution where opening due to force is effectively prevented It has been explained. In conclusion, this helps overcome the problems that occur when the charging port cover is left open. New technical developments that may arise are becoming necessary. 30 -2- Explanation of the Purposes of the Discovery Based on the current state of the art, the aim of the invention is to improve existing structures. The solution is to eliminate these problems and develop a charging port sensor system. Another purpose of the invention is to allow for possible recharging of the electric vehicle after its charge runs out. This prevents the lid from remaining open. Another purpose of the invention is to attach a sensor to the front of the charging socket cover. If the charging port cover is left open, the driver will receive a "Cap left open" warning on the screen (10). It is a warning through encounter. Another aim of the invention is to eliminate the problem of leaving the charging port cover open. its removal. Another purpose of the invention is to provide the driver with a visual warning of any potential problem with the charging port cover. The aim is to inform the driver so that they can take precautions. To achieve the aforementioned goals, technology is used to its fullest extent thanks to its technical superiority. A charging cap sensor system that exceeds the limit has been developed. 20 Explaining the Figures Figure 1 shows a drawing of a representative application of the invention. Reference Numbers 1 Electric vehicle 5 Driver indicator 2. Charging socket cover 3 Sensors 4. Control brain -3- Detailed Explanation of the Discovery The invention specifically concerns the opening of the charging port cover (1) of the electric vehicle charging socket cover (2). and in adverse weather conditions, leaving the lid open can have negative consequences. with the charging port sensor system developed to prevent such situations from occurring It is related. As shown in the figures; charging socket cover of our electric vehicle (1) after charging (2) can remain open. A sensor (3) or 10 is attached to the front of the charging socket cover (2). The sensor is connected. When the charging socket cover (2) is left open, the sensor (3) or the control brain (4) which detects this via a sensor, the driver, on the display (5), with a visual and / or audible warning of "lid left open". This happens if the driver's charging socket cover (2) is left open. This helps prevent potential negative consequences. 15 The invention relates to (1) charging socket cover (2) sensor (3) system in electric vehicles, feature; electric vehicle (1) charging socket cover (2) open or closed position The sensor (3) or detector detects whether the driver's charging socket cover (2) is open or closed. The control brain (4) detects the remaining condition, the driver's charging socket cover (2) is open 20 If it remains, an audible and / or visual warning is given via the control brain (4). The driver display is characterized by having a driver indicator (5). When the electric vehicle (1) is detected to be moving and the charging socket cover (2) is open, the driver It contains the control brain (4) which enables the warning to be given on the indicator (5). 25 The electric vehicle's (1) charging socket cover (2) is open with the sensor (3) or detector, by detecting their status, closed, faulty, on the driver display (5), for charging in cases of not turning on, remaining on after charging, or remaining on due to a malfunction It includes the control brain (4) that enables the warning to be given. 30 -4- on the charging socket cover (2) on the electric vehicle (1) or charging socket cover (2) A sensor positioned on its housing that detects location, fault, and status information. (3) or contains a sensor. Water may enter through the charging socket cover (2) on the electric vehicle (1) and damage the charging port 5 Communicating with the control brain (4) which gives a warning in case of non-operation The driver display (5) includes a warning that the charging socket cover (2) is open. If the charging port gets water in through the charging socket cover (2) and malfunctions, It includes a driver indicator (5) that is warned by the sensing sensor (3). 10
