Description:TITLE OF THE INVENTION: A LECCY DIFFUSING APPARATUS FOR TOOTLING MEMBERS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure is generally related to tootling members. Particularly, the present disclosure is related to diffusing of leccy, in tootling members. More particularly, the present disclosure is related to a leccy diffusing apparatus, for tootling members.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Leccy diffusing apparatuses, for tootling members, are known in the art. However, existing leccy diffusing apparatuses suffer from at least the following drawbacks: are complex in construction; are bulky (weigh between about 10 kg and about 15 kg); occupy quite a bit of space (volume of about 220 x 105 mm3); and/or are distributed, across several units (about three units to about four units), each of which, requires space and safety features.
There is, therefore, a need in the art, for: a leccy diffusing apparatus, for tootling members, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and shortcomings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A leccy diffusing apparatus, for tootling members, is disclosed. Said apparatus broadly comprises: an at least an alcove; a bottom layer; and a top layer.
All components of said apparatus are disposed on (or are disposed at, or are disposed in, or are disposed within, or are associated with) said at least one alcove. An at least a closing member may close (or may cover) said at least one alcove.
Said bottom layer broadly comprises: an at least a first switching member; an at least a converting member; an at least a first safety member; and a negative terminal of an at least a leccy supplying member.
Said at least one first switching member is disposed in (or is disposed within, or is associated with) said at least one alcove, for example, at one side of said at least one alcove’s inner periphery. Said at least one first switching member is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner side wall of said at least one alcove.
Said at least one first switching member isolates said at least one leccy supplying member and an an at least a motor controller, when a tootling member is switched off. Said at least one first switching member is disposed between a positive terminal of said at least one leccy supplying member and said at least one motor controller.
Said at least one converting member is also disposed in (or is also disposed within, or is also associated with) said at least one alcove, for example, at a central portion (or adjacent to a central portion) of said at least one alcove’s inner periphery. Said at least one converting member is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner top wall of said at least one alcove.
Said at least one converting member produces low voltage (between about 12 V and about 14 V), which powers low voltage systems.
Said at least one first safety member is also disposed in (or is also disposed within, or is also associated with) said at least one alcove, for example, at a bottom portion of said at least one alcove’s inner periphery. Said at least one first safety member is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner bottom wall of said at least one alcove, between said at least one leccy supplying member and said at least one first switching member.
Said top layer broadly comprises: an at least a marshalling member; an at least a high voltage interlock loop system; an at least a second switching member; an at least a third switching member; and a plurality of safety members.
Said at least one marshalling member is configured to facilitate controlling of said apparatus. Said at least one marshalling member may be communicatively associated with any electrical (and/or electronic) component of said apparatus, or all electrical (and/or electronic) components of said apparatus.
Said at least one marshalling member broadly comprises: an at least a fourth switching member; and an at least a current flow regulating member.
Said at least one fourth switching member is in parallel connection, with said at least one first switching member. Through said at least one fourth switching member, an initially discharged energy stashing member is charged, before closing said at least one first switching member, to avoid an inrush of current, which might damage said apparatus.
A tootling member control unit transmits signals, to said at least one marshalling member. These signals, in turn, trigger MOSFETS, which trigger switching members of said apparatus.
Said at least one high voltage interlock loop system is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) said top layer, for example, at one side of said top layer. Said at least one high voltage interlock loop system is a circuit breaker that sends an alert code, if a high voltage connection (between about 120 V DC and about 500 V DC) becomes loose, disconnected, or damaged, during operation of said tootling member.
A first safety member, among said plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) said top layer, for example, at another side of said top layer, between said at least one first switching member and said at least one converting member.
A second safety member, among said plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) said top layer, for example, adjacent to said first safety member, between a DC line and an at least a fifth switching member.
Whenever a CCS2 plug (charging gun) is connected, said at least one marshalling member actuates said at least one fifth switching member, connection between said DC line and said at least one leccy supplying member is closed, and said at least one leccy supplying member starts charging (DC charging). Said actuation of said at least one fifth switching member, by said at least one marshalling member, may be achieved, for example, through said at least one second switching member.
A third safety member, among said plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) said top layer, for example, adjacent to said second safety member, between an at least a sixth switching member and an AC line.
Unlike said DC charging, said AC line is connected to an OBC that converts AC current to DC current. Said OBC is communicatively associated with said at least one sixth switching member. Said at least one marshalling member actuates said at least one sixth switching member, connection between said AC line and said at least one leccy supplying member is closed, and said at least one leccy supplying member starts charging (AC charging).
Said actuation of said at least one sixth switching member, by said at least one marshalling member, may be achieved, for example, through said at least one third switching member.
The disclosed apparatus offers at least the following advantages: is simple in construction; is cost-effective (costs about Rs. 11,000); occupies low space (about 3 x 105 mm3); is easy to install; is not distributed, across several units; minimises surge currents; can run high voltages (between about 120 V DC and about 500 V DC), at low currents; and may be configured to be retrofitted, onto existing tootling members. Weight of the disclosed apparatus is about 3 kg.

A leccy diffusing apparatus, for tootling members (100; also referred to as “apparatus”), is disclosed. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated, in Figure 1 and Figure 2, said apparatus (100) broadly comprises an at least an alcove (1). All components of the apparatus (100) are disposed on (or are disposed at, or are disposed in, or are disposed within, or are associated with) the at least one alcove (1). An at least a closing member (2; for example, a lid) may close (or may cover) the at least one alcove (1).

The at least one first switching member (3) is disposed in (or is disposed within, or is associated with) the at least one alcove (1), for example, at one side of the at least one alcove’s inner periphery. The at least one first switching member (3) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner side wall of the at least one alcove (1).
The at least one first switching member (3) isolates the at least one leccy supplying member and an at least a motor controller, when a tootling member is switched off. The at least one first switching member (3) is disposed between a positive terminal of the at least one leccy supplying member and the at least one motor controller.
The at least one converting member (4) is also disposed in (or is also disposed within, or is also associated with) the at least one alcove (1), for example, at a central portion (or adjacent to a central portion) of the at least one alcove’s inner periphery. The at least one converting member (4) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner top wall of the at least one alcove (1).
The at least one converting member (4) produces low voltage (between about 12 V and about 14 V), which is used to power low voltage (or auxiliary) systems. The at least one converting member (4) is turned on, when a kill switch is turned ON.
The at least one first safety member (5) is also disposed in (or is also disposed within, or is also associated with) the at least one alcove (1), for example, at a bottom portion of the at least one alcove’s inner periphery. The at least one first safety member (5) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) an inner bottom wall of the at least one alcove (1), between the at least one leccy supplying member and the at least one first switching member (3).
The negative terminal (6) is also disposed in (or is also disposed within, or is also associated with) the at least one alcove (1), for example, at another side of the at least one alcove’s inner periphery. The negative terminal (6) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with, or is disposed adjacent to) another inner side wall of the at least one alcove (1). Said another side wall is opposite to the inner side wall.
In yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated, in Figure 4, a top layer of the apparatus (100) broadly comprises an at least a marshalling member (7; for example, a microcontroller, a PCB, and/or the like), which is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the bottom layer. An at least a high voltage interlock loop system (8; may also be referred to as “HVIL”) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the top layer, for example, at one side of the top layer.
The at least one high voltage interlock loop system (8) is a circuit breaker that sends an alert or trouble code, if a high voltage connection (between about 120 V DC and about 500 V DC) becomes loose, disconnected, or damaged, during operation of the tootling member.
An at least a second switching member (9; for example, a relay, which may also be referred to as “EVSE relay”) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the top layer, for example, adjacent to the at least one marshalling member (7).
An at least a third switching member (10; for example, a relay, which may also be referred to as “OBC relay”) is also disposed on (or is also disposed at, or is also associated with) the top layer, for example, adjacent to the at least one second switching member (9).
The top layer also comprises a plurality of safety members (for example, fuses). A first safety member (11; for example, a fast-acting fuse, rated for about 10 A, which may also be referred to as “DC-DC fuse”), among the plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the top layer, for example, at another side of the top layer, between the at least one first switching member (3) and the at least one converting member (4).
A second safety member (12; for example, a fast-acting fuse, rated for about 50 A, which may also be referred to as “EVSE fuse”), among the plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the top layer, for example, adjacent to the first safety member (11), between a DC line and an at least a fifth switching member (16; for example, a contactor, which may also be referred to as “EVSE contactor”).
A third safety member (13; for example, a fast-acting fuse, rated for about 20 A, which may also be referred to as “OBC fuse”), among the plurality of safety members, is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the top layer, for example, adjacent to said second safety member (12), between an at least a sixth switching member (17, for example, a contactor, which may also be referred to as “OBC contactor”) and an AC line.
The at least one marshalling member (7) is configured to facilitate controlling of the apparatus (100). The at least one marshalling member (7) may be communicatively associated with any electrical (and/or electronic) component of said apparatus (100), or all electrical (and/or electronic) components of said apparatus (100).
In yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated, in Figure 5, the at least one marshalling member (7) broadly comprises: an at least a fourth switching member (14; for example, a contactor, which may also be referred to as “pre-charge contactor”); and an at least a current flow regulating member (15; may also be referred to as “pre-charge resistor”).
The at least one fourth switching member (14) is in parallel connection, with the at least one first switching member (3). Through the at least one fourth switching member (14), an initially discharged energy stashing member (for example, a DC link capacitor) is charged, before closing the at least one first switching member (3), to avoid an inrush of current, which might damage the apparatus (100). When the energy stashing member’s voltage reaches that of the at least one leccy supplying member, the at least one current flow regulating member (15) is turned off.
The at least one marshalling member (7) is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the apparatus (100), through a plurality of mounting facilitating members (22; for example, mounting holes, as illustrated, in Figure 6), which is disposed on (or is disposed at, or is associated with) the at least one marshalling member (7), for example, at side portions of the at least one marshalling member (7). The at least one marshalling member (7) actuates the at least one first switching member (3), and is controlled, by a tootling member control unit, which may be of any suitable type known in the art, for example, a vehicle control unit (VCU).
Figure 7 illustrates a schematic of the apparatus (100). In Figure 7: “F” denotes fuse; “CP” denotes control plot; PP denotes proximity plot; and PE denotes protective earth.
As illustrated, in Figure 8, the tootling member control unit transmits signals (VCU_DSG, VCU_OBC, VCU_OBC, and VCU_PRECHG), to the at least one marshalling member (7). These signals (VCU_DSG, VCU_OBC, VCU_OBC, and VCU_PRECHG), in turn, trigger MOSFETS (U1, U2, U3 and U5), which trigger switching members of the apparatus (100), for example, the at least one first switching member (3), the at least one fifth switching member (16), the at least one sixth switching member (17), and/or the at least one fourth switching member (14). “DSG” denotes actuation of the at least one first switching member (3).
The apparatus (100) also comprises a charging mechanism (or charging mechanisms) and a discharging mechanism (or discharging mechanisms). DC charging and AC charging are controlled (or manipulated, or regulated), for example, by a CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) socket. Whenever a CCS2 plug (charging gun) is connected, the at least one marshalling member (7) actuates the at least one fifth switching member (16), connection between the DC line and the at least one leccy supplying member is closed, and the at least one leccy supplying member starts charging (DC charging).
The actuation of the at least one fifth switching member (16), by the at least one marshalling member (7), may be achieved, for example, through the at least one second switching member (9).
Unlike the DC charging, the AC line is connected to an OBC that converts AC current to DC current. The OBC is communicatively associated with the at least one sixth switching member (17). The at least one marshalling member (7) actuates the at least one sixth switching member (17), connection between the AC line and the at least one leccy supplying member is closed, and the at least one leccy supplying member starts charging (AC charging).
The actuation of the at least one sixth switching member (17), by the at least one marshalling member (7), may be achieved, for example, through the at least one third switching member (10).
For discharging, when the kill switch is turned ON, the at least one marshalling member (7) actuates the at least one first switching member (3), resulting in closing of a connection, between the at least one leccy supplying member and an at least a motor, thus, enabling current flow, from the at least one leccy supplying member to the at least one motor.
The apparatus (100) may comprise other components that are well-known to a person skilled in the art, for example: a plurality of cable lugs (18); a plurality of busbars (19); a plurality of connectors (20); and/or a plurality of cable glands (21).
Figure 9 illustrates dispositioning of the apparatus, on a tootling member.
In yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus (100) also comprises a pressure relief valve that releases excess pressure, during overpressure situations, thus avoiding catastrophic failures. The pressure relief valve is similar to a pressure vent, is open, at all times, and releases built-in pressure.
Operation of the apparatus (100) broadly comprises following steps:
The negative terminal (6) and the at least one motor controller’s negative terminal are always connected. The at least one fourth switching member (14) is closed. The at least one first switching member (3) is closed, until voltage of the energy stashing member reaches between about 90% and 95% of the at least one leccy supplying member’s voltage.
The at least one fourth switching member (14) is now opened, after closing the at least one first switching member (3). After the at least one first switching member (3) is closed, the at least one converting member (4) provides the low voltage output.
Examples of calculations involved, in configuring the apparatus (100), are as follows:
At Least One First Switching Member (3)
Continuous Current Nominal
Voltage = About 230 V DC Continuous
Power = About 20 kW
Continuous Current = Continuous Power/Nominal Voltage Continuous
Current = About 86 A
Rated Current
Rated current is about 1.25 times the continuous rated current
Current = About 1.25 x 65
Rated Current = About 107 A
Peak Current
Peak Power = About 30 kW
Peak Current = Peak Power/Nominal Voltage Peak
Current = About 130 A
Based on the above, rating of the at least one first switching member (3) is about 150 A.
At Least One Fifth Switching Member (16) and At Least One Sixth Switching Member (17)
Peak power, during the DC charging and the AC charging, are about 5.8 kW and about 3.3 kW, respectively.
Peak Current - EVSE (DC Charging) = Peak Power/Nominal Voltage
= 5.8 kW/230 = About 25 A
Peak Current - OBC (AC Charging) = Peak Power/Nominal Voltage
= 3.3 kW/230 = About 15 A
Based on the above, rating of the at least one fifth switching member (16) and the at least one sixth switching member (17) is about 40 A.
Pre-Charge Circuit
Pre-charge current drops to 1/e (about 36.7%) of its initial value, after one time constant, also known as one Tau or 1T. Likewise, pre-charge voltage climbs to about 63.2% of supply voltage, after 1T.
Tau can be found using: Tau = R x C, where: T = Tau (seconds); R = Resistance (Ohms); and C = Capacitance (Farads)
Five-time constants (5T) are needed, for the at least one energy stashing member, to reach about 99.33% of a full charge.
At Least One Current Flow Regulating Member (15)
Capacitance of the at least one energy stashing member = About 0.003 Farads
5 Tau = About 1.5 seconds (desired pre-charge time)
1 Tau = About 0.3 seconds
0.3 seconds = R x 0 .003 Farads
R = About 100 Ohms
The disclosed apparatus (100) was tested, under ambient temperature and pressure. As shown below, the results were favourable, thereby, demonstrating the apparatus’s performance and efficiency.

Negative cables are directly connected together and don’t have any relay. So, there are no values, except resistance. To denote no values, forward slashes are used, in the above Table.
A person skilled in the art will appreciate the fact that the apparatus and its various components may be made of any suitable materials known in the art. Likewise, a person skilled in the art will also appreciate the fact that the configuration of the apparatus and its various components may be varied, based on requirements.
The disclosed apparatus offers at least the following advantages: is simple in construction; is cost-effective (costs about Rs. 11,000); occupies low space (about 3 x 105 mm3); is easy to install; is not distributed, across several units; minimises surge currents; can run high voltages (between about 120 V DC and about 500 V DC), at low currents, which reduces losses, space, and costs; and may be configured to be retrofitted, onto existing tootling members. Weight of the disclosed apparatus is about 3 kg.
Power, in terms of voltage and current, is determined, as follows:
P = V x I, where: P denotes power; V denotes voltage; and I denotes current
When the voltage increases, the current decreases, and vice versa.
The apparatus (100) is a high power (about 20 kW) apparatus that can withstand loads, up to about 30 kW.
In terms of losses, as the current decreases, losses are minimised.
In terms of wires, as the current decreases, smaller diameter wires, and low current (about 150 A) contactors and fuses can be used, which makes the apparatus cost- effective and space-effective.
It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the above description is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered as limiting. Various modifications, additions, alterations, and improvements, without deviating from the spirit and the scope of the disclosure, may be made, by a person skilled in the art. Such modifications, additions, alterations, and improvements should be construed as being within the scope of this disclosure.
