Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the prior art, when an external short circuit occurs in the battery system or the charge and discharge rate is too high, the battery system itself can respond by forcibly disconnecting the relay under load.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the described examples.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] A battery charge and discharge control method, where a superconducting device and a relay are provided on the charge and discharge circuit of the battery, as Figure 1 shown, the control method includes:

[0042] Step 11: Detect whether the charge and discharge rate of the battery exceeds a first preset threshold. If so, execute Step 12;

[0043] Step 12: Control and adjust the resistance value of the superconducting device to adjust the charge and discharge rate of the battery to a second preset threshold; the charge and discharge rate includes the charge rate or the discharge rate;

[0044] Step 13: Control the relay to disconnect.

[0045] In this embodiment, in Step 11, if the judgment result is yes, then first execute Step 111;

[0046] Step 111: Detect whether the external load connected to the battery is short-circuited. If so, then execute Step 12. If not, then execute Step 14;

[0047] Step 14: Detect whether the duration of the non-superconducting state of the superconducting device exceeds a preset time threshold. If so, then execute Step 12. If not, then execute Step 15;

[0048] Step 15: Control and adjust the resistance value of the superconducting device to adjust the charge and discharge rate of the battery to the first preset threshold, and then return to Step 14.

[0049] In this embodiment, the relay includes a main positive relay and a main negative relay;

[0050] Step 13 specifically includes: first control the main positive relay to disconnect, and then control the main negative relay to disconnect.

[0051] Refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of a battery charge and discharge control circuit. A fuse 21, a main positive relay 22, a pre-charge relay 23, a fast charge positive relay 24, a fast charge negative relay 25, a main negative relay 26, a current sensor 27 (for detecting the charge and discharge current of the battery and calculating the charge and discharge rate), an SLS superconducting device 28, a battery 29, a BMS 31 battery management system, and external interfaces (a discharge port 32, a low-voltage interface 33, and a fast charge port 34) are provided on the charge and discharge circuit of the battery. The external interfaces are used to connect to an external load. The control method of this embodiment is controlled and adjusted on the premise of load power reduction failure. The following will separately describe the charging process and the discharging process:

[0052] I. Discharging process

[0053] In the case of non - short - circuit, when the load uses a discharge rate greater than the currently allowed discharge rate of the battery system (PACK), the BMS controls the SLS superconducting device (whose resistance changes based on temperature changes and can be adjusted by temperature regulation) to increase the impedance of the PACK discharge high - voltage circuit, thereby reducing the discharge rate. First, maintain the discharge rate not greater than the currently allowed discharge rate of the PACK. When the non - superconducting state maintenance time of the SLS is greater than its safety time (if in a high - temperature state for a long time, the circuit is continuously in an over - current state, making the whole circuit unsafe), the BMS controls the SLS to limit the discharge rate to the safe discharge rate at which the relay can disconnect (a rated value, which is different for different relays). The BMS first disconnects the main positive relay and then the main negative relay, and the discharge high - voltage circuit is disconnected.

[0054] In the case of short - circuit, the BMS controls the SLS to increase the impedance of the PACK discharge high - voltage circuit, limits the discharge rate of the discharge circuit to the safe discharge rate at which the relay can disconnect. The BMS first disconnects the main positive relay and then the main negative relay, and the discharge high - voltage circuit is disconnected.

[0055] II. Charging process

[0056] In the case of non - short - circuit, when the load uses a charging rate greater than the currently allowed charging rate of the battery system PACK, the BMS controls the SLS superconducting device (whose resistance changes based on temperature changes and can be adjusted by temperature regulation) to increase the impedance of the PACK charging high - voltage circuit, thereby reducing the charging rate. First, maintain the charging rate not greater than the currently allowed charging rate of the PACK. When the non - superconducting state maintenance time of the SLS is greater than its safety time (if in a high - temperature state for a long time, the circuit is continuously in an over - current state, making the whole circuit unsafe), the BMS controls the SLS to limit the charging rate to the safe charging rate at which the relay can disconnect (a rated value, which is different for different relays). The BMS first disconnects the main positive relay and then the main negative relay, and the charging high - voltage circuit is disconnected.

[0057] In the case of short - circuit, the BMS controls the SLS to increase the impedance of the PACK charging high - voltage circuit, limits the charging rate of the charging circuit to the safe charging rate at which the relay can disconnect. The BMS first disconnects the main positive relay and then the main negative relay, and the charging high - voltage circuit is disconnected.

[0058] In this embodiment, according to the harm situation of the charge - discharge rate, different impedances are applied to the high - voltage charge - discharge circuit of the battery system through the superconducting device to reduce the charge - discharge rate or keep the charge - discharge rate within a safe range, avoiding damage to relays, fuses, or other electrical components on the circuit caused by the passive load disconnection of the high - voltage due to external short - circuit or excessive charge - discharge rate of the battery system.
