[0028] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the integrated control circuit of the fuel cell vehicle of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an integrated control circuit for a fuel cell vehicle of the present invention.

[0031] In this embodiment, a fuel cell vehicle integrated control circuit structure is provided, including: an energy system, a main control board, a boost DCDC component, a buck DCDC component, a fuel cell high-voltage accessory, and a vehicle main drive and high-voltage accessories;

[0032] The energy system includes: battery stack, power battery and auxiliary energy;

[0033] Fuel cell high-pressure accessories include: FC-hydrogen circulation pump, FT-PTC, FC-cooling fan, FC-air compressor;

[0034] The vehicle's total drive and high-voltage accessories include: emergency charging port, defrost port, battery heating port, motor controller and air conditioner;

[0035] The main control board is connected to the boost DCDC component, the buck DCDC component and the PDU component through control signal lines;

[0036] The boost DCDC component is electrically connected to the PDU component, and the PDU component is electrically connected to the buck DCDC component.

[0037] The first input end of the boost DCDC component is connected to the positive output end of the battery stack, the second input end of the boost DCDC component is connected to the negative output end of the battery stack, the first output end of the boost DCDC component is connected to the positive output end of the power battery and the auxiliary energy source, and the second output end of the boost DCDC component is connected to the negative output end of the power battery and the auxiliary energy source;

[0038] The positive output end of the power battery and the auxiliary energy source is connected to one end of the pre-charge relay Relay2 and one end of the total positive relay Relay1, the other end of the pre-charge relay Relay2 is connected to one end of the pre-charge resistor, and the other end of the pre-charge resistor is respectively connected to one end of the total positive relay Relay1, the step-down DCDC component, the FC-air compressor, the motor controller, and the first input end of the air conditioner;

[0039] The positive output terminals of the power battery and auxiliary energy are also connected to the first input terminals of the emergency charging port, the defrosting port, the battery heating port, the FC-hydrogen circulation pump, the FT-PTC, and the FC-cooling fan;

[0040] The negative output end of the power battery and the auxiliary energy is connected to one end of the total negative relay Relay3, and the other end of the total negative relay Relay3 is connected to the step-down DCDC component, emergency charging port, defrost port, battery heating port, FC-hydrogen circulation pump, FT-PTC, FC-cooling fan, FC-air compressor, motor controller, and the second input end of the air conditioner.

[0041] Specifically, the first input end of the emergency charging port is also connected to the emergency charging relay Relay4;

[0042] The first input terminal of the defrost port is also connected to the defrost charging relay Relay5;

[0043] The first input end of the battery heating port is also connected to the battery heating relay Relay6.

[0044] Specifically, a Hall sensor is also provided on the high-voltage negative circuit at one end of the total negative relay Relay3 for detecting the current value of the total negative relay Relay3, that is, for detecting the current values ​​of all high-voltage accessories.

[0045] Specifically, a first voltage detection point and a second voltage detection point are respectively set at both ends of the main positive relay Relay1;

[0046] A third voltage detection point and a fourth voltage detection point are respectively set at two ends of the total negative relay Relay3.

[0047] The first voltage detection point and the fifth voltage detection point are respectively set at two ends of the emergency charging relay Relay4;

[0048] The first voltage detection point and the sixth voltage detection point are respectively set at two ends of the defrost charging relay Relay5;

[0049] A first voltage detection point and a seventh voltage detection point are respectively set at two ends of the battery heating relay Relay6;

[0050] Since the pre-charging relay Relay2 passes a small current and the probability of contact adhesion is very low, there is no need to perform contact adhesion detection.

[0051] Specifically, the main control board is connected to the water inlet, water outlet and the Hall sensor through signal acquisition lines; the water inlet and water outlet are respectively provided with temperature sensors, and the main control board sends signals to the thermal management controller by detecting the temperature changes of the water inlet and outlet, thereby maintaining the optimal working temperature.

[0052] Specifically, at the input end of the total positive relay Relay1 and the copper busbar of the motor controller circuit, due to the large current, a temperature detection point is required for monitoring. Once the temperature of the copper busbar is too high (≥250°C), a power-off procedure needs to be executed. Therefore, the first temperature detection point and the second temperature detection point are respectively set at both ends of the total positive relay Relay1.

[0053] Specifically, the step-down DCDC component, the emergency charging port, the defrost port, the battery heating port, the FC-hydrogen circulation pump, the FT-PTC, the FC-cooling fan, the FC-air compressor, the motor controller, and the first input end of the air conditioner are all connected with fuses.

[0054] There is a diode at the positive output end of the boost DCDC component to prevent the current of the power battery and auxiliary energy from flowing back into the fuel cell boost DCDC component, causing damage to the fuel cell and boost DCDC.

[0055] The specific connection method is: the first output end of the boost DCDC component is connected to the input end of the diode, and the output end of the diode is connected to the positive output end of the power battery.

[0056] In this embodiment, the FC-air compressor, motor controller, air conditioner and step-down DCDC components are behind the circuit composed of pre-charge relay Relay2 and pre-charge resistor. The emergency charging port is not controlled by the total positive relay Relay1 and the total negative relay Relay3. The main function of the emergency charging port is to temporarily recharge the power battery through an external charger when the vehicle is parked for a long time and the power battery is depleted. Otherwise, the hydrogen fuel cell system cannot be started. Another function is to connect the on-board AC charger or DC charging port. This configuration depends on the needs of the vehicle.

[0057] The present invention integrates the boost DCDC component, the power distribution unit PDU component, the buck DCDC component, etc. through the integrated control circuit structure of the fuel cell vehicle, thereby reducing the volume, weight and cost. At the same time, it also solves the problem that the traditional stand-alone boost DCDC high-voltage power distribution does not meet the requirements of the whole vehicle. In terms of after-sales, since it is an integrated product, only one supplier is needed to solve the after-sales problems.

It should be understood that the use of the directional words should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0059] In the absence of conflict, the above embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
