Vehicle DC-DC Power Conversion for Priority Load Backup

The patent segments the electrical loads into priority loads and non-priority loads, and segments the power supply sources into first storage system and second storage system. The DC-DC electronic power converter selectively supplies power to priority loads during malfunctions, while non-priority loads are disconnected. This segmentation allows the system to maintain safety and performance for critical functions while reducing the overall power capacity requirements of the DC-DC converter, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

The patent implements partial action by having the DC-DC electronic power converter operate at full power only during malfunction conditions to supply priority loads, rather than continuously operating at high power. During normal operation, the second storage system handles non-priority loads, allowing the DC-DC converter to operate at lower power levels. This reduces the required power rating of the DC-DC converter, thereby reducing weight savings while significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

The patent segments the electrical loads into priority loads and non-priority loads, and segments the power supply sources into first storage system and second storage system. This segmentation allows the DC-DC electronic power converter to remain inactive during normal operation and only activate during malfunction conditions, significantly reducing its operating stress and extending its service life, thereby reducing design costs.

The DC-DC electronic power converter operates periodically rather than continuously - it remains inactive during normal operation and only activates during malfunction conditions. This periodic action reduces the cumulative operating hours and stress on the DC-DC converter, allowing for a less expensive design that doesn't need to withstand continuous 24/7 operation.

The patent segments the electrical loads into priority loads and non-priority loads, and segments the power supply sources into first storage system and second storage system. This segmentation enables a simplified control strategy where the control unit only needs to manage the switching between power sources for priority loads during malfunctions, rather than managing complex redundant structures for all loads. This reduces system complexity while ensuring safety for critical functions.

The patent extracts and eliminates complex redundant structures by using a simple control unit that manages power distribution based on load priority and system status. Instead of implementing complex redundant power paths and switching mechanisms, the system uses a straightforward control logic that activates the DC-DC converter only when needed, thereby ensuring reliability while reducing complexity.

The patent segments the electrical loads into priority loads and non-priority loads, and segments the power supply sources into first storage system and second storage system. This segmentation allows the DC-DC electronic power converter to supply only priority loads during malfunctions rather than all loads, significantly reducing the peak power demands it must handle. Meanwhile, local storage devices (second storage system) continue to supply non-priority loads, maintaining weight and size benefits.

The patent implements partial action by having the DC-DC electronic power converter supply only priority loads during malfunction conditions, rather than all loads. This partial power transfer reduces the required power capacity of the DC-DC converter, allowing for a lighter and smaller design while still eliminating the need for local storage devices.
