[0039] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in this embodiment or the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0044] On-board batteries can be divided into two types: fuel cells and batteries. Among them, batteries have the characteristics of simple structure, rechargeability and easy replacement, and have been widely used. The materials in the battery release electrical energy to the outside world when a chemical reaction occurs. When the external power source charges the battery, the above chemical reaction is reversed to store energy in the battery. Considering the characteristics of the materials in the battery, when the temperature is below a certain level, the discharge efficiency of the battery will gradually decrease. Moreover, discharge at low temperatures may cause irreversible damage to the battery, affecting the service life of the battery.

[0045] If the vehicle battery is a storage battery, a heating device may be provided on the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle battery can normally supply power to the power unit. The heating device may be, for example, a heating wire or other device used to increase the temperature of the vehicle battery. In this way, even if the ambient temperature is low, the vehicle battery may be heated to a temperature at which it can be discharged normally by the heating device. Currently, when it is detected that the temperature of the vehicle battery is lower than a certain temperature threshold, the vehicle battery may be controlled to supply power to the heating device and the power unit at the same time, so as to heat the vehicle battery while the vehicle is driving.

[0046] However, if the remaining power of the vehicle battery is low, the large current discharge required to power the heating device and the power device at the same time may cause the output voltage of the vehicle battery to drop rapidly, affecting the normal discharge of the vehicle battery and may also cause damage to the vehicle battery.

[0047] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method, device and system for a vehicle-mounted battery.

[0048] Let's first combine Figure 1 , the system provided by the embodiment of the present application is introduced. Figure 1 , which is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle power system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the vehicle power system 100 on the vehicle includes a control device 111, a vehicle battery 121, a power device 122, and a heating device 123. The heating device 123 and the power 122 are connected in parallel to the vehicle battery 121, and the control device 111 can be connected to any one or more of the vehicle battery 121, the power device 122, and the heating device 123, respectively.

[0050] Optionally, the vehicle power system 100 may further include a first switch device 124 and a second switch device 125. The first switch device 124 is located on the main circuit of the vehicle power system 100, and is used to control whether the vehicle battery supplies power to the outside. The second switch device 125 is located on the path from the vehicle battery 121 to the heating device 123. If the first switch device 124 is turned on, including the various circuits of the vehicle battery 121, the vehicle battery 121 can supply power to the outside; if the first switch device 124 is turned off, including the various circuits of the vehicle battery 121, the vehicle battery 121 cannot supply power to the outside. If the second switch device 125 is turned on, the circuit between the vehicle battery 121 and the heating device 123 is connected, and the vehicle battery 121 supplies power to the heating device 121; if the second switch device 125 is turned off, the circuit between the vehicle battery 121 and the heating device 123 is disconnected, and the vehicle battery 121 stops supplying power to the heating device 123. The control device 111 is connected to the first switch device 124 and the second switch device 125 respectively, and is used to control the connection and disconnection of the first switch device 124 and the second switch device 125.

[0051] The vehicle battery control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the control device 111. Specifically, the control device 111 can be a vehicle control device of the vehicle, or a control device for controlling a charging system on the vehicle, for example, a battery management system (BMS) of the vehicle.

[0052] Optionally, the first switch device 124 and the second switch device 125 may be relays. In some possible implementations, considering the safety of vehicle power use, the first switch device 124 may include two relays, which are respectively located at the positive pole and the negative pole of the vehicle battery 121. They are also called total positive relays and total negative relays. The total positive relay and the total negative relay are turned on (or off) synchronously.

[0053] The following is an explanation of the control method of the vehicle battery provided in the embodiment of the present application from the perspective of the control device. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A method flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle battery provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0055] S201: Acquire the temperature of the vehicle-mounted battery.

[0056] After the vehicle power system is started, the control device may first obtain the temperature of the vehicle battery. For example, the control device may obtain the temperature of the vehicle battery through a temperature sensor. It is understandable that if S201 is executed after the vehicle power system is started, the temperature of the vehicle battery may be close to or equal to the ambient temperature.

[0057] After obtaining the temperature of the vehicle battery, the control device can compare the temperature of the vehicle battery with the first temperature and the second temperature. If the temperature of the vehicle battery is not less than the first temperature and the temperature of the vehicle battery is not greater than the second temperature, the control device determines that the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the first temperature range.

[0058] The first temperature is lower than the second temperature. The first temperature is a temperature that allows the vehicle battery to discharge normally, and the second temperature is a temperature that allows the vehicle battery to discharge with a large current. That is, if the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature, the discharge of the vehicle battery will have an impact on the vehicle battery; after the ambient temperature reaches the first temperature, the discharge of the vehicle battery may not have an impact on the vehicle battery; after the ambient temperature reaches the second temperature, the discharge of the vehicle battery will not have an impact on the vehicle battery.

[0059] Therefore, if the temperature of the vehicle battery is between the first temperature and the second temperature, the discharge of the vehicle battery may or may not affect the vehicle battery. Therefore, in order to determine whether the discharge of the vehicle battery will affect the vehicle battery, after determining that the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the first interval, the control device can continue to execute S202 to make further judgments in combination with relevant parameters of the vehicle battery itself.

[0060] S202: In response to the temperature of the vehicle battery belonging to the first temperature range, obtaining a discharge parameter of the vehicle battery.

[0061] After determining that the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the first temperature range, the control device can obtain the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery. The discharge parameters of the vehicle battery are used to indicate the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery. For example, the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery may include the output voltage of the vehicle battery and / or the remaining power of the vehicle battery. Considering that the remaining power of the vehicle battery is often difficult to measure accurately, it is possible to more accurately judge whether the discharge of the vehicle battery will have an impact on the vehicle battery in combination with the output voltage of the vehicle battery.

[0062] S203: In response to the discharge parameter of the vehicle-mounted battery satisfying a first condition, controlling the vehicle-mounted battery to supply power to the power device and the heating device.

[0063] After obtaining the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery, the control device may determine whether the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet a first condition, wherein the first condition is used to indicate whether the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery allows the vehicle battery to discharge within a first temperature range.

[0064] If the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery meets the first condition, it means that the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery allows the vehicle battery to be discharged within the first temperature range. The discharge of the vehicle battery will not affect the vehicle battery.

[0065] Then the control device can control the vehicle battery to supply power to the power device and the heating device at the same time, for example, the first switch device and the second switch device can be controlled to be turned on. In this way, the vehicle battery drives the power device to provide power for the vehicle while heating itself through the heating device, which can increase the temperature of the vehicle battery while ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the vehicle battery.

[0066] If the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery does not meet the first condition, it means that the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery does not allow the vehicle battery to discharge within the first temperature range. The discharge of the vehicle battery will have an impact on the vehicle battery. Then the control device can issue a charging reminder to prompt the driver to charge the vehicle.

[0067] As described above, the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery may include the output voltage of the vehicle battery and / or the remaining power of the vehicle battery. Accordingly, the first condition may include the first voltage and / or the first power.

[0068] Specifically, if the first condition includes the first voltage, the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery may include the output voltage of the vehicle battery. When judging whether the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery meets the first condition, the magnitude relationship between the output voltage of the vehicle battery and the first voltage may be compared. If the output voltage of the vehicle battery is less than the first voltage, the control device determines that the discharge parameter of the battery does not meet the first condition.

[0069] If the first condition includes the first power, the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery may include the remaining power of the vehicle battery. When judging whether the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery meets the first condition, the magnitude relationship between the remaining power of the vehicle battery and the first power may be compared. If the remaining power of the vehicle battery is less than the first power, the control device determines that the discharge parameter of the battery does not meet the first condition.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a vehicle battery, which can be applied to a control device on a vehicle. The control device belongs to a vehicle power system, and the vehicle power system also includes a vehicle battery, a power device and a heating device. The vehicle battery is connected to the heating device and the power device respectively. When executing the control method for the vehicle battery provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device can first obtain the temperature of the vehicle battery. Then, the control device determines whether the temperature of the vehicle battery is in a first temperature range. If the temperature of the vehicle battery is in the first temperature range, it means that the vehicle battery may need to be heated to reach a temperature with high discharge efficiency. Then the control device can further obtain the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery. The discharge parameters of the vehicle battery include at least the output voltage of the vehicle battery. It can be understood that the higher the output voltage of the vehicle battery, the more power is left in the vehicle battery. Then, the control device determines whether the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the first condition. If the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the first condition, it means that the remaining power in the vehicle battery is high, and the vehicle battery can power the power device and the heating device at the same time. Then the control device can control the vehicle battery to power the power device and the heating device. In this way, not only the temperature of the vehicle battery but also the condition of the vehicle battery itself is considered. The heating device is controlled to heat the vehicle battery only when heating is required and the conditions of the vehicle battery itself allow heating. In this way, it can be avoided that the vehicle battery is not powered by the heating device when the power is low, thus avoiding damage to the vehicle battery.

[0071] In the implementation described above, the vehicle battery can supply power to the heating device and the power device at the same time. However, if the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery is sufficient, the vehicle battery can achieve high-efficiency discharge at a lower temperature. Therefore, in this case, in order to save the electrical energy stored in the vehicle battery, the vehicle battery may not be heated. That is to say, if the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the first interval, the control device can also determine whether the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the second condition. If the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the second condition, the control device can control the vehicle battery to supply power to the power device, and control the vehicle battery not to supply power to the heating device.

[0072] The second condition includes: the output voltage of the vehicle battery is not less than the first voltage, and the remaining power of the vehicle battery is not less than the second power. The second power is greater than the first power and is the power at which the discharge efficiency of the vehicle battery is not affected by temperature.

[0073] If the temperature of the vehicle battery does not belong to the first temperature range, the control device may perform the following operations:

[0074] If the temperature of the vehicle battery is greater than the second temperature, the control device determines that the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the second temperature range. At this time, the temperature of the vehicle battery is relatively high, and the discharge efficiency of the vehicle battery will not be affected by the remaining power of the vehicle battery, and there is no need to heat the vehicle battery. Then the control device can control the vehicle battery to supply power to the power device, and control the vehicle battery not to supply power to the heating device.

[0075] If the temperature of the vehicle battery is lower than the first temperature, the control device determines that the temperature of the vehicle battery belongs to the first temperature range. At this time, the temperature of the vehicle battery is relatively low, and if the vehicle battery is discharged with a large current, it may cause damage to the vehicle battery. Therefore, the vehicle battery can determine whether the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the first condition. If the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery do not meet the first condition, the control device can issue a charging reminder to prompt the driver to charge the vehicle. If the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery meet the first condition, the control device can control the vehicle battery to power the power unit and the heating device. In order to avoid large current discharge of the vehicle battery, the control device can also limit the output power of the power unit to be less than the first power. For example, the control device can limit the output power of the power unit by issuing a communication instruction.

[0076] Specifically, assuming that the control device controls the charging device to supply power to the power device through the total positive relay and the total negative relay, and controls the charging device to supply power to the heating device through the heating relay, and the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is executed by the BMS, then a flow chart of the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0077] The above are some specific implementations of the vehicle battery control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Based on this, the present application also provides a corresponding device. The device provided in the embodiment of the present application will be introduced from the perspective of functional modularization.

[0078] See also Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the control device of the vehicle-mounted battery is shown, and the device 400 includes an acquisition unit 410 and a processing unit 420.

[0079] The acquisition unit 410 is used to acquire the temperature of the vehicle-mounted battery.

[0080] The processing unit 420 is used to obtain the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery in response to the temperature of the vehicle battery belonging to the first temperature range, and the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery are used to indicate the discharge capacity of the vehicle battery; in response to the discharge parameters of the vehicle battery satisfying the first condition, control the vehicle battery to supply power to the power device and the heating device.

[0081] The embodiment of the present application provides a control device for a vehicle battery. Specifically, the control device may first obtain the temperature of the vehicle battery. Then, the control device determines whether the temperature of the vehicle battery is in a first temperature range. If the temperature of the vehicle battery is in the first temperature range, it means that the vehicle battery may need to be heated to reach a temperature with high discharge efficiency. Then the control device may further obtain the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery. The discharge parameter of the vehicle battery includes at least the output voltage of the vehicle battery. It is understandable that the higher the output voltage of the vehicle battery, the more power remaining in the vehicle battery. Then, the control device determines whether the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery meets the first condition. If the discharge parameter of the vehicle battery meets the first condition, it means that the remaining power in the vehicle battery is high, and the vehicle battery can supply power to the power device and the heating device at the same time. Then the control device can control the vehicle battery to supply power to the power device and the heating device. In this way, not only the temperature of the vehicle battery is considered, but also the condition of the vehicle battery itself. Only when heating is required and the conditions of the vehicle battery itself allow heating, the heating device is controlled to heat the vehicle battery. In this way, it can be avoided that the vehicle battery supplies power to the heating device when the power is low, and damage to the vehicle battery can be avoided.
