Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric vehicle charging piles, and specifically refers to a DC charger control system with a dual-gun expansion function. Background Art
[0002] The popularization and application of electric vehicles is an important technical approach for China to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, and has become a key development direction for China's low-carbon economy and new energy utilization. The application of electric vehicles will reduce China's dependence on petroleum products, greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and effectively control urban pollution. Since there are significant differences in charging power and charging voltage platform ranges between large vehicles and small vehicles, there are two types of DC chargers on the current market. One is a DC charger for electric passenger cars (with a power of about 20 - 60 kW and a charging voltage platform of about 250V - 500V), and the other is a special charger for electric buses (with a power between 100kW - 450kW and a charging voltage platform of about 400 - 750V). However, the existing DC chargers have a relatively high hardware cost, complex wiring between control modules, and are difficult to maintain. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a DC charger control system with a dual-gun expansion function, which has a fast control response speed, saves charging pile space, improves production efficiency, and is convenient for later maintenance.
[0004] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A DC charger control system with a dual-gun expansion function, including an MCU single-chip microcomputer, a DC power supply module, a remote signal input module, a remote control output module, a CAN interface, an RS485(232) interface, an Ethernet interface, an auxiliary power supply control module, and a control module. The DC power supply module, the remote signal input module, the remote control output module, the CAN interface, the RS485(232) interface, the Ethernet interface, the auxiliary power supply control module, and the control module are electrically connected to the MCU single-chip microcomputer. The auxiliary power supply control module supports the switching of auxiliary power supplies of 12V and 24V. The alternating current supplies power to the device through the remote signal input module. The DC power supply module has two groups, and the output power can be dynamically distributed through a bridging switch. The RS485(232) interface has 6 channels, including 1 channel for a 485 electricity meter interface, 1 channel for an RS232 4G module interface (interface reserved), 1 channel for an RS232 touch screen interface, 1 channel for an RS232 card reader interface, 1 channel for an RS232 debugging interface, and 1 channel for an RS232 interface backup. The CAN interface has 3 channels, including two channels for BMS communication and 1 channel for communication with the DC power supply module. The Ethernet interface is used to run the charging pile communication protocol independently developed by the company and communicate with the charging pile cloud platform. The DC charger control system has functions of AC overvoltage, AC undervoltage, DC overvoltage, DC overcurrent, charging gun over-temperature, charging gun over-temperature, and charging pile over-temperature protection.
[0005] Further, the remote signal input module has 12 channels, including access control, emergency stop, lightning protection, A-gun electronic lock signal, B-gun electronic lock signal, A-gun return position, B-gun return position, A-gun output contactor status, B-gun output contactor status, and combined contactor status.
[0006] Further, the remote control output module has 11 channels, including A-gun output contactor control, B-gun output contactor control, combined contactor control, and AC trip control.
[0007] Further, the control module includes electronic lock control, CC voltage measurement, temperature measurement, and insulation detection. The electronic lock control is magnetic control. The CC voltage measurement has two channels. The temperature measurement has 6 channels, including 4 channels for charging gun temperature measurement, 1 channel for air outlet temperature measurement, and 1 channel for internal environment temperature measurement of the pile. The temperature measurement uses an external thermistor, where the external thermistor is NTC 10k, with a B value of 3950 and a 5% accuracy. The insulation detection has two channels, and the maximum measurement voltage is not less than 800V.
[0008] The present invention adopts the above structure and achieves the following beneficial effects: The DC charger control system with a dual-gun expansion function provided by the present invention is simple to operate, has a compact structure, is reasonably designed, and has a relatively low hardware cost, which is about half of the original cost; the relevant control is completed on one board, and the control response speed is faster; the number of control boards is small, saving space for the charging pile; the wiring is less, the integration degree is high, improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and facilitating later maintenance. The DC charger control system has functions of AC overvoltage, AC undervoltage, DC overvoltage, DC overcurrent, charging gun overheating, charging gun over-temperature, and charging pile over-temperature protection.
