Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention is a specialized socket for electric vehicles that enables randomized, delayed charging. It works by using a trigger to randomly determine when charging starts, sends pulses or programmed signal sequences to control the charging process, and displays status via LEDs. This system can help distribute charging loads more evenly to avoid power grid strain.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Residential electric vehicle charging to avoid peak demand times
  • Public or commercial charging stations to manage multiple vehicles and grid load
  • Smart grid integration for load balancing based on utility company signals
  • Fleet charging where randomization reduces simultaneous power draw
  • EV battery maintenance by scheduling staggered charging cycles

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Reduces peak load on the power grid by randomizing charging start times
  • Helps prevent grid overload and potential blackouts
  • Improves energy efficiency and grid stability
  • Enhances flexibility for users without manual scheduling
  • Simple visual feedback on charging status through LEDs

Patent Abstract

The socket randomly generates charging by using a trigger (1), and sends a pulse or a signal sequence according to a program. A contactor (2) is connected with a similar circuit element for receiving the pulse or signal sequence. A random value for start of charging process is generated. The status of signal is displayed by LED (3).
