Title: Preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement
Inventor: RADU ANDREI RAMOIU
IPC: B60W10/22
Filed: 2018-12-06
Abstract: A method and associated computer program prevents automatic levelling of a suspension system of an electric vehicle during battery replacement to prevent damage to the old or new battery during battery replacement. The vehicle is equipped with: a first electronic control unit (ECU) 100, in charge with battery replacement; and a second ECU 200 of the suspension system, the ECUs communicating via an internal bus system. The method involves sending information from the first ECU to the second ECU that the vehicle is prepared to perform a battery replacement, triggering levelling forbid flag to the suspension system to deactivate it. When the deactivation has been performed, a feedback signal is set to inform that battery replacement can commence. During battery replacement, the feedback is set to inform that battery replacement is ongoing. Upon completion of battery replacement, the second ECU is informed that battery replacement is successful, and activation of the suspension system is allowed. Deactivation of the suspension system may be made by temporarily blocking all levelling and pressure compensations. Activation of the suspension system may be made by triggering a pressure compensation which adjusts the height of the vehicle to match the load of the replaced battery.
