Abstract

A system and method for providing a full inspection may be provided. A method for providing a full inspection of a full inspection server connected via a network to a first vehicle equipped with a first battery pack comprises the steps of: receiving a fault code indicating an abnormal state of the first battery pack from the first vehicle; determining whether the fault code corresponds to a full inspection code; if the fault code corresponds to a full inspection code, determining battery packs having the same production information as the first battery pack as targets for full inspection; querying a vehicle equipped with the battery packs corresponding to the inspection targets; and announcing to the queried vehicle and the first vehicle that they are targets for full inspection.

Description

System and Method for Providing Total Inspection This description relates to a full inspection provision system and method. Electric vehicles can be driven using electric motors. Electric vehicles use a battery system, which is a high-voltage power source, to drive the electric motors. The battery system includes a Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors multiple battery cells. The BMS can take appropriate measures, such as switching off relays between multiple battery modules and loads, upon detecting a battery abnormality signal during vehicle operation. However, if the detected abnormal signal indicates a condition requiring a full battery inspection, the inspection must be carried out as quickly as possible to ensure driver safety. Nevertheless, rapid full inspection of battery systems is difficult due to limitations in the information associated with each vehicle. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing an example of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of a full inspection providing system according to an embodiment. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the full inspection server illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating the method of providing a full inspection of the full inspection server shown in Figure 3. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a full inspection providing system according to another embodiment. Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement them. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification are given similar reference numerals. In the flowcharts described with reference to the drawings, the order of operations may be changed, various operations may be merged or certain operations may be divided, and specific operations may not be performed. Throughout the specification and claims, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Additionally, expressions written in the singular form may be interpreted as singular or plural unless explicit expressions such as "one" or "singular" are used. Additionally, terms including ordinal numbers, such as first, second, etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components are not limited by said terms. Such terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. Furthermore, when it is stated that one component is "connected" to another component, this includes not only cases where they are "directly or physically connected," but also cases where they are "indirectly or non-contactually connected" with another component in between, or where they are "electrically connected." On the other hand, when it is stated that one component is "directly connected" to another component, it should be understood that there is no other component present in between. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing an example of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1, the electric vehicle (1) may include a battery pack (10), an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) (20), an inverter (30), and an electric motor (40). The battery pack (10) can store electrical energy to supply the electric power required in the electric vehicle (1). The battery pack (10) may be called a battery rack or a battery system depending on the case. The battery pack (10) can be connected to an external charging device or load through terminals (P+, P-), and the battery pack (10) can be charged by the charging device and the battery pack (10) can be discharged by the load. The ECU (20) can transmit control commands to the battery pack (10) through communication with the battery pack (10) and receive a response to the control command or information regarding the state of the battery pack (10) from the battery pack (10). Communication between the battery pack (10) and the ECU (20) may be CAN communication. Although only one ECU is shown in FIG. 1, multiple ECUs may be provided in the electric vehicle (1) in addition to the ECU (20) related to the present disclosure, and each of the multiple ECUs may be designed to control a corresponding function. The inverter (30) can be connected between the terminals (P+, P-) of the battery pack (10) and can convert direct current power supplied from the battery (12) of the battery pack (10) into alternating current power and supply it to the electric motor (40).
