Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic components, and in particular to a safety prompt method and device for a fuse, a fuse, a power battery and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] As a long-term load device in the power battery pack of electric vehicles, high-voltage DC fuses are prone to fatigue melting due to fatigue or high current shocks during use in some rapid acceleration and deceleration scenarios.
[0003] The power batteries in existing electric vehicles often have high-voltage circuits exceeding 400V. These battery systems require high-voltage DC fuses to prevent transient high currents caused by battery failure or short circuits, which could lead to battery safety accidents. However, HVDC fuses are often used during normal battery pack operation, such as during rapid acceleration or high-speed driving. The current trend in electric vehicles is toward larger motors and higher power, with some even using four-wheel drive. These electric vehicles typically draw relatively low currents during normal operation, but under rapid acceleration / deceleration, the transient current can reach over 1000A. This surge in current can inadvertently damage the HVDC fuses, a condition that is imperceptible to conventional HVDC fuses. In such scenarios, the damage to the fuse life caused by normal driving accumulates, potentially causing the fuse to blow unexpectedly during normal vehicle operation, leading to stalling and power interruption, making accidents highly likely.

[0061] See also Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a safety prompt method for a fuse, comprising:
[0062] Step S101, obtaining status information of the fuse body detected by a status detection device;
[0063] Step S102: When the status information meets the preset warning condition, a prompt message is output and the number of warnings is increased by one;
[0064] Step S103: When the number of warnings is greater than a preset number, output warning information.
[0065] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a safety prompt method for a fuse is provided, wherein specifically, when a control device is in use, it obtains status information of the fuse body detected by a status detection device, and then judges the status information based on pre-stored preset warning conditions. When the status information meets the preset warning conditions, a prompt message is output to remind the user that continuing the current operating condition will damage the fuse, facilitating timely adjustment by the user; at the same time, the number of warnings is incremented by one; when the number of warnings reaches or exceeds a pre-calibrated preset number, i.e., a safety threshold, a warning message is output to remind the user that the current fuse has reached its life limit, prompting the user to replace it as soon as possible, thereby avoiding safety hazards and preventing safety accidents caused by unexpected fuse blowing during use. The accumulated number of times is used as a criterion for determining whether the life limit has been reached, facilitating judgment and calculation while ensuring accuracy.
[0066] In summary, the fuse safety prompt method provided by the embodiment of the present invention detects and judges the status information of the fuse body. When it is determined that the operating condition will affect the fuse, it prompts the user. When it is determined that the service life limit has been reached and a safety risk exists, a timely warning is issued. This is conducive to achieving safety monitoring of the fuse, avoiding unexpected melting of the fuse, and the resulting safety accidents. It should be noted that when the safety prompt method is applied to vehicles, especially electric vehicles, it can effectively avoid the vehicle stalling and power interruption caused by unexpected melting of the fuse during normal driving, as well as the resulting safety risks.
[0067] Preferably, in the safety prompt method as described above, the status information of the fuse body includes: the current and temperature of the fuse body;
[0068] The step of obtaining the status information of the fuse body detected by the status detection device includes:
[0069] Acquiring the current detected by the current detection device electrically connected to the fuse body in the state detection device;
[0070] The temperature detected by the temperature sensor in the state detection device that is in contact with the fuse body is obtained.
[0071] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate technical personnel to understand the above method, examples are given here to illustrate the types of information specifically included in the status information of the fuse body. Among them, the status information may include: the temperature of the fuse body and the current passing through the fuse body. When the current and temperature are used as the status information of the fuse body, the step of obtaining the status information of the fuse body detected by the status detection device can be specifically as follows: obtaining the current detected by the current detection device electrically connected to the fuse body in the status detection device, wherein the current detection device is connected in series with the fuse body; and obtaining the temperature detected by the temperature sensor in the status detection device that is in contact with the fuse body, wherein the temperature sensor is preferably mounted on the outside of the fuse body and in contact with the fuse body, so as to facilitate accurate acquisition of the temperature of the fuse body.
[0072] Specifically, the safety prompt method as described above further includes:
[0073] When the current is greater than a preset current and the temperature is greater than a preset temperature, it is determined that the status information meets a preset warning condition.
[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, taking temperature and current as an example, when judging whether the status information meets the preset warning condition, the obtained temperature is compared with the preset temperature in the preset warning condition to obtain a temperature judgment result, and at the same time, the obtained current is compared with the preset current in the preset warning condition to obtain a current judgment result; when the temperature judgment result is that the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, and the current judgment result is that the current is greater than the preset current, it indicates that the current fuse body is subjected to a current shock and the current shock has an impact on the service life of the fuse body, so it is judged that the status information at this time meets the preset warning condition to ensure the accuracy of the judgment.
[0075] Preferably, in the above-mentioned safety prompt method, after obtaining the status information of the fuse body detected by the status detection device, the method further includes:
[0076] When the current is greater than the preset current and the temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, a prompt message is output and the number of warnings remains unchanged;
[0077] or,
[0078] When the temperature is higher than the preset temperature and the current is lower than or equal to the preset current, a prompt message is output and the number of warnings remains unchanged.
[0079] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, based on the above-mentioned judgment criteria, if only the current is greater than the preset current, although a current shock is generated on the fuse body, the impact of this current shock on the fuse body is limited in the short term and will not significantly affect its service life. In this case, only the above-mentioned prompt message is output to remind the user that continued operation will damage the fuse, facilitating timely adjustment. Similarly, if only the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, although the fuse body will be affected, the impact is limited in the short term and will not significantly affect its service life. In this case, only the above-mentioned prompt message is output to remind the user that continued operation will damage the fuse, facilitating timely adjustment.
[0080] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned safety prompt method, after obtaining the status information of the fuse body detected by the status detection device, the method further includes:
[0081] When the temperature is greater than a preset temperature, a control signal is sent to the cooling control circuit, and the control signal is used to control the cooling control circuit including the temperature adjustment device to be turned on.
[0082] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the status information of the fuse body, if it is determined that the obtained temperature is greater than the preset temperature, it indicates that the current temperature of the fuse body is high. At this time, a control signal is sent to the cooling control circuit to turn it on to power the temperature adjustment device, and then the temperature adjustment device is used to cool the fuse body to avoid the fuse body from being at high temperature (temperature greater than the preset temperature) for a long time, which affects the service life of the fuse body.
[0083] Specifically, the cooling control circuit further includes a control switch, the control signal being used to control the closing of the control switch. The control switch is preferably an electromagnetic relay. To improve the efficiency of temperature regulation, the temperature regulating device is preferably also disposed outside the fuse body and in contact with the fuse body. More specifically, since the temperature regulating device in this embodiment is only used to cool the fuse body, the temperature regulating device can be a refrigerator with only a cooling function.
[0084] See also Figure 2 Another preferred embodiment of the present invention further provides a control device, comprising:
[0085] An acquisition module 201 is used to acquire status information of the fuse body detected by a status detection device;
[0086] The first processing module 202 is configured to output a prompt message and increase the number of warnings by one when the status information meets a preset warning condition;
[0087] The second processing module 203 is configured to output warning information when the number of warnings is greater than a preset number.
[0088] Preferably, in the control device as described above, the status information of the fuse body includes: the current and temperature of the fuse body;
[0089] The acquisition module 201 includes:
[0090] a first acquiring unit, configured to acquire a current detected by a current detecting device electrically connected to the fuse body in the state detecting device;
[0091] The second acquiring unit is configured to acquire the temperature detected by a temperature sensor in the state detecting device that is in contact with the fuse body.
[0092] Specifically, the control device as described above further includes:
[0093] The third processing module is configured to determine that the status information satisfies a preset warning condition when the current is greater than a preset current and the temperature is greater than a preset temperature.
[0094] Preferably, the control device as described above further includes:
[0095] The fourth processing module is used to output a prompt message when the current is greater than a preset current and the temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature, and the number of warnings remains unchanged;
[0096] or,
[0097] The fifth processing module is used to output a prompt message when the temperature is greater than the preset temperature and the current is less than or equal to the preset current, and the number of warnings remains unchanged.
[0098] Furthermore, the control device as described above further includes:
[0099] The sixth processing module is used to send a control signal to the cooling control circuit when the temperature is greater than a preset temperature, and the control signal is used to control the cooling control circuit including the temperature adjustment device to be turned on.

All implementation means in the above method embodiment are applicable to the embodiment of the control device and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0102] The state detection device 302 is connected to the fuse body 301 and is data-connected to the control device 303, and is used to detect the state information of the fuse body 301 and send it to the control device 303;
[0103] After the control device 303 obtains the status information, when the status information meets the preset warning condition, it outputs a prompt message and increases the number of warnings by one; when the number of warnings is greater than the preset number, it outputs a warning message.
[0104] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fuse is provided, which includes: a fuse body 301, a status detection device 302 and the controller as described above, wherein the status detection device 302 is connected to the fuse body 301 and is data-connected to the control device 303, and is used to detect status information of the fuse body 301, and send the status information to the control device 303, and / or store the status information, and send the status information to the control device 303 after receiving an information acquisition signal from the control device 303. After receiving the status information, the control device 303 will judge the status information based on preset warning conditions. If it is determined that the status information meets the preset warning conditions, it will output a prompt message to inform the user that continuing the current operating condition will damage the fuse, facilitating timely adjustment by the user. At the same time, the number of warnings is increased by one. When the number of warnings reaches or exceeds a pre-calibrated preset number, i.e., a safety threshold, a warning message is output to remind the user that the current fuse has reached its life limit, prompting the user to replace it as soon as possible, thereby avoiding safety hazards and preventing safety accidents caused by unexpected fuse blowing during use. The use of the accumulated number of times as a criterion for determining whether the life limit has been reached facilitates judgment and calculation while ensuring accuracy.
[0105] In summary, the fuse provided in the embodiment of the present invention detects and determines the status information of the fuse body 301 by adding a status detection device 302 and a control device 303. When it is determined that the operating condition will affect the fuse, a prompt is given to the user. When it is determined that the service life limit has been reached and a safety risk exists, a warning is given in a timely manner. This is conducive to achieving safe monitoring of the fuse, avoiding unexpected melting of the fuse, and the resulting safety accidents. It should be noted that when the safety prompt method is applied to vehicles, especially electric vehicles, it can effectively avoid the vehicle stalling and power interruption caused by unexpected melting of the fuse during normal driving, as well as the resulting safety risks.
[0106] Specifically, for the fuse as described above, the state detection device 302 includes:
[0107] A current detection device 3021 electrically connected to the fuse body 301 and a temperature sensor 3022 contact-connected to the fuse body 301 .

[0109] Furthermore, in the fuse as described above, the temperature sensor 3022 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fuse body 301 and is in contact with and connected to the fuse body 301 .

[0111] Preferably, the fuse as described above further comprises: a cooling control circuit 304 in communication with the control device 303;

When the control device 303 determines, based on the acquired status information, that the inductor body needs to be cooled, it sends a control signal to the cooling control circuit 304, turning on the cooling control circuit 304. The temperature adjustment device 3041 in the cooling control circuit 304 then cools the fuse body 301. This prevents the fuse body 301 from being exposed to high temperatures (temperatures greater than a preset temperature) for extended periods of time, which could affect the service life of the fuse body 301.
[0114] Specifically, to improve the efficiency of temperature regulation, the temperature regulating device 3041 is preferably also sleeved on the outer surface of the fuse body 301 and is in contact with the fuse body 301. More specifically, since the temperature regulating device in this solution is only used to cool the fuse body 301, the temperature regulating device can be a refrigerator with only a cooling function.

Furthermore, when the fuse 4011 processes the status information and warning frequency control information, it feeds back the processing results to the control device for reference. Specifically, the control device performs control based on the processing results of the control device itself and the processing structure fed back by the fuse 4011, thereby achieving redundant control and facilitating control accuracy. The communication connection between the control device and the fuse 4011 is preferably connected via a controller area network 4013.
[0119] See also Figure 4 Another preferred embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising: a warning device 402, a controller local area network 4013, and the power battery 401 as described above, wherein the control device or fuse 4011 in the power battery 401 is communicatively connected to the warning device 402 via the controller local area network 4013.
