Abstract

A power cord for transferring power to an electrically powered accessory configured to be used with at least one of a vehicle, a trailer, and a transport container is provided. The power cord includes a DC wire portion, an AC wire portion, and a single plug at one end of the power cord. The DC wire portion provides DC power to the electrically powered accessory. The AC wire portion provides AC power to the electrically powered accessory. The DC wire portion and the AC wire portion each have a first end and a second end. The single plug is connected to the first end of the DC wire portion and connected to the first end of the AC wire portion and includes an AC contact arrangement, a DC contact arrangement, and a communication contact arrangement.

Claims (46)

1. A method of transferring power, via a power cord, from an electric charging station to an electrically powered accessory that is configured to be used with at least one of a vehicle and a transport unit, the method comprising:

a controller of the electrically powered accessory sending a request for power to the electric charging station via a ready signal sent through a proximity pilot contact of the power cord; and

the electrically powered accessory receiving power from the electric charging station via the wire portion and the power contact arrangement of the power cord,

wherein the power cord includes:

a single plug; and

a wire portion configured to provide power from the electric charging station to the electrically powered accessory,

wherein the single plug includes:

a power contact arrangement configured to connect to a power port of the electrically powered accessory; and

a communication contact arrangement, that includes a proximity pilot contact, for connecting and communicating with the electric charging station.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to the electrically powered accessory receiving power from the electric charging station, the controller sending a communication signal to the electric charging station via the proximity pilot contact of the communication contact arrangement to validate that the electrically powered accessory is valid to receive power from the electric charging station.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the controller locking the power cord to a receptacle of the electrically powered accessory upon the electrically powered accessory sending the request for power from the electric charging station.

4. The method of claim 1 , the controller apportioning power received from the electric charging station via the power cord between the electrically powered accessory and the vehicle based on the request sent by the electrically powered accessory.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

the controller receiving an unlatch signal from the electric charging station via the proximity pilot contact of the power cord;

the controller instructing a controlled shutdown for the connection with the electric charging station upon receiving the unlatch signal.

6. A power cord for transferring power to an electrically powered accessory, wherein the electrically powered accessory is configured to be used with at least one of a transport unit and a vehicle, the power cord comprising:

a first wire portion to provide a first power to the electrically powered accessory, the first wire portion having a first end and a second end;

an second wire portion to provide a second power to the electrically powered accessory, the second wire portion having a first end and a second end;

a single plug at a first end of the power cord that is connected to the first end of the first wire portion, the single plug including:

a first contact arrangement for connecting to a first power port of the electrically powered accessory,

a second contact arrangement for connecting to a second power port of the electrically powered accessory, and

a communication contact arrangement for connecting and communicating with at least one of a first power source and a second power source.

7. The power cord of claim 6 , further comprising:

a first wire plug connected to the second end of the first wire portion for connecting the power cord to the first power source; and

a second wire plug connected to the second end of the second wire portion for connecting the power cord to the second power source.

8. The power cord of claim 6 , wherein the first contact arrangement is a three-phase AC contact arrangement that includes a first line phase contact for distributing first phase AC power, a second line phase contact for distributing second phase AC power, a third line phase contact for distributing third phase AC power, and a neutral contact.

9. The power cord of claim 6 , wherein the first contact arrangement is a single-phase AC contact arrangement that includes a line contact for distributing single phase AC power, and a neutral contact.

10. The power cord of claim 6 , wherein the first wire portion and the second wire portion are bundled together within a single cable sheath.

11. The power cord of claim 6 , wherein the second wire portion is configured to provide DC power for charging an electrically powered accessory electrical storage device of the electrically powered accessory.

12. The power cord of claim 6 , wherein the first wire portion is configured to provide AC power for at least one of operating the electrically powered accessory and charging an electrically powered accessory electrical storage device of the electrically powered accessory.

13. An electrically powered accessory configured to be used with at least one of a vehicle and a transport unit, the electrically powered accessory comprising:

a power cord for transferring power to the electrically powered accessory from one of an external AC power source and an external DC power source, the power cord including:

a first wire portion to provide a first power to the electrically powered accessory, the first wire portion having a first end and a second end;

an second wire portion to provide second power to the electrically powered accessory, the second wire portion having a first end and a second end;

a single plug at a first end of the power cord that is connected to the first end of the first wire portion and connected to the first end of the second wire portion, the single plug including:

a first contact arrangement for connecting to a first power port of the electrically powered accessory,

a second contact arrangement for connecting to a second power port of the electrically powered accessory, and

a communication contact arrangement for connecting and communicating with at least one of a first power source and a second power source.

14. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , wherein the power cord further includes:

a first wire plug connected to the second end of the first wire portion for connecting the power cord to the first power source; and

a second wire plug connected to the second end of the second wire portion for connecting the power cord to the second power source.

15. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , wherein the first contact arrangement is a three-phase AC contact arrangement that includes a first line phase contact for distributing first phase AC power, a second line phase contact for distributing second phase AC power, a third line phase contact for distributing third phase AC power, and a neutral contact.

16. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , wherein the first contact arrangement is a single-phase AC contact arrangement that includes a line contact for distributing single phase AC power, and a neutral contact.

17. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , wherein the first wire portion and the second wire portion are bundled together within a single cable sheath.

18. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , further comprising an electrical storage device, and wherein the second wire portion is configured to provide second power for charging the electrical storage device.

19. The electrically powered accessory of claim 13 , wherein the first wire portion is configured to provide AC power for at least one of operating the electrically powered accessory and charging the electrical storage device.
