  • Publication number: 20260121169
    Abstract: Existing electric transportation equipment and its auxiliary facilities mostly rely on heating or insulation devices to cope with low-temperature environments, which is not only energy-intensive but also costly. Based on experimental findings, this invention discloses a cooling and life-extending device suitable for electric transportation equipment and its auxiliary facilities, including but not limited to functional units: battery module 405, cooling system 101, and air duct 102. This device actively maintains the battery module in a low-temperature range to extend battery life and improve economic efficiency throughout its life cycle. It incorporates a comprehensive strategy including multi-stage cooling, intelligent temperature control, and capacity redundancy, enabling the battery to operate stably at low-temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9876461
    Abstract: A control and protection apparatus for an electric motor, comprising an inverter (3), a first converter (1), a temperature detection apparatus (7), and a second converter (2). The first converter (1) is used for generating, on the basis of an input signal, a first control signal to control working of the inverter (3). The temperature detection apparatus (7) is used for detecting the temperature of the electric motor (4) and for acquiring a temperature signal. The second converter (2) is used for generating a second control signal on the basis of the temperature signal detected and for providing the second control signal to the inverter (3). The inverter (3) is used for controlling wording of the electric motor (4) on the basis of the first control signal and of the second control signal. The control and protection apparatus for the electric motor is low in costs and high in safety and reliability.
