[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0035] In the description of the present invention, the terms "comprise", "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may also include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed but are inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses, or steps or units that are added based on further optimization solutions conceived by the present invention.
[0036] The following describes the electric vehicle self-charging system and self-charging method of the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, charging technology has become a key factor hindering their widespread adoption. Current charging methods, such as charging stations and battery swapping, are plagued by high costs, low efficiency, and complex infrastructure. This system aims to explore an efficient and low-cost charging solution. By using an electric motor to drive a generator to generate electricity, this system achieves energy recycling, forming a complete energy recycling system and providing a new charging model for new energy vehicles.
[0038] The innovations of this application are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0039] Energy recovery and utilization: Through the coordinated work of the electric motor and generator, the vehicle's kinetic energy can be efficiently recovered and reused.
[0040] Intelligent control and dynamic adjustment: Combined with intelligent algorithms, energy recovery and charging strategies are dynamically adjusted according to vehicle operating conditions.
[0041] Multi-scenario application: The system is not only suitable for energy recovery during vehicle operation, but can also achieve self-charging through low-power electric motors and high-efficiency generators when the vehicle is stationary.
[0042] Specifically, if Figure 1 A block diagram of an electric vehicle self-charging system is given. The system includes:
[0043] A first electric motor is installed in the vehicle drive system and is used to drive the vehicle;
[0044] a second motor connected in parallel with the first motor and configured to provide power in a set mode to drive the generator to generate electrical energy;
[0045] a first generator electrically connected to the first electric motor and capable of switching to a generator mode when the vehicle is coasting, braking, or decelerating to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy;
[0046] a second generator electrically connected to the second motor, for being driven by the second motor to operate in a static power generation mode or a low power operation mode, thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy;
[0047] an on-board battery, electrically connected to the first motor, the second motor, the first generator, and the second generator, serving as an energy storage unit for storing electrical energy generated by the first generator and the second generator and providing power to the first motor and the second motor;
[0048] The control circuit is electrically connected to the first motor, the second motor, the first generator, the second generator and the vehicle battery, and is used to dynamically control the operating mode switching of the first motor and the second motor according to the vehicle's operating status and working conditions, adjust the power generation process of the first generator and the second generator, and manage the transmission, distribution and storage of electric energy.
[0049] The first motor and the second motor are connected in parallel through a power management system. The power management system is used to dynamically allocate the working mode of the second motor according to the remaining power of the vehicle and the battery power when the first motor drives the vehicle, so that it can switch to generator mode when necessary to achieve parallel power generation.
[0050] Both the first generator and the second generator are equipped with an intelligent monitoring unit, which is used to monitor the operating status of the generator in real time, including speed, torque and power generation efficiency, and feed the monitoring data back to the control circuit. The control circuit dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of the generator according to the monitoring data to optimize the power generation efficiency.
[0051] The control circuit includes an energy recovery control unit, which automatically triggers the first electric motor to switch to generator mode when the vehicle is coasting, braking or decelerating, and controls the power generation power of the first generator to ensure that the recovered electric energy is smoothly transmitted to the vehicle battery and prevent overcharging.
[0052] The control circuit also includes a parallel power generation control unit. When the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed, the parallel power generation control unit controls the second electric motor to switch to generator mode based on the vehicle's remaining power and battery charge, so that the second generator uses the vehicle's remaining power to generate electricity and charge the on-board battery, further improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0053] The static power generation mode includes a trickle charging function. When the second motor drives the second generator for static power generation, the control circuit automatically switches to trickle charging mode according to the power status of the vehicle battery to extend battery life and optimize the charging process.
[0054] In low-power mode, the control circuit dynamically adjusts the output power of the second electric motor based on the remaining battery charge and the power requirements of the vehicle's auxiliary systems. This ensures that the energy generated by the high-efficiency generator is sufficient to both maintain the operation of the vehicle's auxiliary systems and charge the vehicle's battery. The control circuit also includes a safety protection module that monitors the battery's voltage, current, and temperature in real time and automatically shuts down the relevant circuits if an abnormality is detected.
[0055] From the above, it can be seen that the focus of this application is to include two sets of electric motors and generators, which are used to drive the vehicle and recover energy respectively:
[0056] 1. Two sets of electric motors: one for driving the vehicle and the other for generating electricity with low power consumption.
[0057] 2. Two generators: one is the electric motor that drives the vehicle and can also switch to generator mode, and the other is a generator adapted for low-power electric motors. They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the vehicle battery.
[0058] 3. On-board battery: acts as an energy storage unit to store recovered energy and provide power to the electric motor.
[0059] 4. Control circuit: regulates and controls the transmission and distribution of electrical energy to ensure stable operation of the system.
[0060] The charging situation during operation includes the system achieving energy recovery and charging through the following methods during vehicle operation:
[0061] 1. Energy recovery mode:
[0062] When the vehicle is coasting, braking, or decelerating, the car's dual-drive electric motors automatically switch to generator mode. The generators convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then transferred to the onboard battery for charging via a control circuit.
[0063] 2. Parallel power generation mode:
[0064] When the vehicle is climbing a hill, the car's dual-drive electric motors switch off and operate as generators. At a constant speed, one motor continues to drive the vehicle while the other automatically switches to generator mode. The generators use the vehicle's excess power to generate electricity, which then charges the battery, further improving energy efficiency.
[0065] 3. Trunk charging pack:
[0066] 1) Static power generation mode:
[0067] The vehicle's battery powers a low-power electric motor in the trunk, which in turn drives a high-efficiency generator. This generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then transferred to the vehicle's battery for charging via a control circuit. This mode is similar to the vehicle's internal self-charging process, where the low-power electric motor and high-efficiency generator work together to charge the vehicle's battery. Trickle charging begins when the battery is nearly full, and can be continued throughout the entire process if time permits. This is typically used when the vehicle is parked for extended periods (such as overnight) or during normal operation.
[0068] 2) Low power operation mode:
[0069] The system can switch to low-power operation mode, reducing energy consumption from the vehicle's battery. Using the remaining energy in the battery, it activates a low-power electric motor in the trunk, which drives a high-efficiency generator. The electricity generated by the high-efficiency generator can be used to maintain the operation of the vehicle's auxiliary systems (such as electronic devices) while simultaneously charging the battery. This is ideal for short periods of time when the vehicle is parked or needs to maintain basic functionality.
[0070] The system advantages are:
[0071] 1. Efficient energy utilization: Reduce energy waste by recovering the kinetic energy during vehicle braking.
[0072] 2. Flexibility: The system can dynamically adjust energy recovery and charging strategies based on the vehicle’s actual operating conditions.
[0073] 3. Low cost: Compared with traditional charging piles and battery replacement devices, this system has lower construction and operation costs.
[0074] 4. Environmental protection: Reduce dependence on traditional energy and reduce carbon emissions.
[0075] Optimized and upgraded to:
[0076] 1. System optimization: further improve the efficiency of motors and generators and reduce energy losses.
[0077] 2. Security:
[0078] The battery management system (BMS) monitors the battery status in real time, including parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature, to optimize the charging strategy, extend battery life, and ensure the safe operation of the system to avoid problems such as overload and short circuit.
[0079] The system requires complex intelligent control algorithms to dynamically adjust energy recovery and charging strategies. For example, energy management strategies based on driving condition recognition can significantly improve vehicle charging efficiency and battery life. Intelligent charging management systems can automatically adjust charging strategies based on vehicle status and user needs to optimize energy distribution and improve efficiency.
[0080] 3. Practical application: Integrate the system into new energy vehicles to realize commercial application.
[0081] 4. Maintenance and care: Develop a reasonable maintenance and care plan to extend the service life of the system.
[0082] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the second motor and second generator in the electric vehicle self-charging system are installed in the vehicle trunk or chassis, forming an independent static charging module. This module operates independently when the vehicle is stationary and is not connected in parallel with the vehicle's drive system. When the vehicle is parked for an extended period, such as at night, the control circuit activates static charging mode, causing the second motor to drive the second generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy is then transferred to the vehicle's battery through the control circuit for charging, thereby enabling the vehicle to self-charge while stationary.
[0083] Both the first and second generators are equipped with intelligent monitoring units for real-time monitoring of their operating status, including key parameters such as speed, torque, and power generation efficiency. The intelligent monitoring units feed this data back to the control circuit, which dynamically adjusts the generator's operating parameters based on this data to optimize power generation efficiency. For example, if the generator's power generation efficiency is detected to have decreased due to load changes, the control circuit automatically adjusts the generator's speed or torque to restore it to optimal operating conditions, ensuring efficient charging throughout the entire process.
[0084] Furthermore, when the vehicle is briefly stopped or needs to maintain basic functions, such as when waiting at a traffic light or during a brief stop, the control circuit switches to low-power operation. During this time, the control circuit dynamically adjusts the output power of the second electric motor based on the remaining battery charge and the power requirements of the vehicle's auxiliary systems. If the battery charge is high, the output power of the second electric motor is appropriately reduced to reduce energy consumption; if the battery charge is low, the output power is increased to accelerate charging. In this way, the system can effectively charge the vehicle battery while ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle's auxiliary systems, further enhancing the system's flexibility and practicality.
