Abstract
A charging cable includes a first connector including a first proximity detection pin and a first power pin; a second connector comprising a second proximity detection pin and a second power pin; and a cable electrically connecting the first power pin of the first connector and the second power pin of the second connector, wherein the cable may not connect the first proximity detection pin and the second proximity detection pin.
Claims19
A charging cable comprising:
- a first connector comprising a first proximity detection pin and a first power pin;
- a second connector comprising a second proximity detection pin and a second power pin;
- and
- a cable configured to:
- electrically connect the first power pin and the second power pin;
- and
- not connect the first proximity detection pin and the second proximity detection pin.
A charging cable comprising:
- a first connector comprising a first proximity detection pin and a first power pin;
- a second connector comprising a second proximity detection pin and a second power pin;
- a cable configured to:
- electrically connect the first power pin and the second power pin to form a power supply path;
- and
- not connect the first proximity detection pin and the second proximity detection pin;
- and
- a communication controller configured to control supply of charging power through the power supply path corresponding to a connection state of the first connector and the second connector to the vehicle.
A control method of a charging cable comprising:
- detecting a first detection signal of a first proximity detection pin and a second detection signal of a second proximity detection pin;
- determining a connection state of a first connector and a first vehicle based on the first detection signal, wherein the first connector comprises the first proximity detection pin and a first power pin;
- and
- determining a connection state between a second connector and a second vehicle based on the second detection signal, wherein the second connector comprises the second proximity detection pin a second power pin.
