In addition to the heat generated by the battery's internal resistance, the motor also generates heat, which is then transferred to the battery via a thermal management system. This improves battery heating efficiency, and thus discharge efficiency.

[0037] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] Currently, one method for self-heating power batteries is based on the remaining power of the power battery. When the power battery is exhausted or the power is extremely low, self-heating of the power battery cannot be achieved. Another method of using an external power supply for battery self-heating requires that the neutral point of the three-phase motor winding be brought out, but the neutral point of the motor of most electric vehicles is not brought out.

[0039] The main solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is: by utilizing an external power supply to heat the power battery, and by leading out a switching element through one phase winding of the three-phase motor to connect it to the external power supply, a circuit structure control is formed during multiplexing boost charging. This not only solves the high requirements of the existing battery heating solution on the power battery, so that the power battery can achieve improved heating efficiency even when the power is exhausted or extremely low, but also realizes the bidirectional flow of power between the external power supply and the power battery.

Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, wherein the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display screen according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display screen and / or backlight when the mobile terminal is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the gravity acceleration sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile terminal (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; of course, the mobile terminal can also be equipped with other sensors such as gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0058] Furthermore, the processor 1001 may call a computer program stored in the memory 1005 and perform the following operations:

[0059] Before the step of controlling the current in the second phase winding and the third phase winding in the three-phase motor based on the expected current of the second phase winding and the third phase winding in the expected current of the three-phase winding, and the sampled current of the second phase winding and the third phase winding: obtain a first duty cycle feedforward value of the fourth power switching element and a second duty cycle feedforward value of the fifth power switching element in the three-phase inverter according to the bus voltage and the external power supply voltage.

[0060] Furthermore, the processor 1001 may call a computer program stored in the memory 1005 and perform the following operations:

[0061] The step of controlling the currents in the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding of the three-phase motor based on the expected currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding in the expected currents of the three-phase winding and the sampled currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding includes: comparing the expected current of the second-phase winding with the sampled current, determining a first duty cycle adjustment base value of a power switch element of a second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the expected current of the second-phase winding and the sampled current, and controlling the power switch element of the second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the first duty cycle adjustment base value and the first duty cycle feedforward value to control the current of the second-phase winding of the three-phase motor;

[0062] Compare the expected current and the sampled current of the third-phase winding, determine the second duty cycle adjustment base value of the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the expected current and the sampled current of the third-phase winding, and control the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the second duty cycle adjustment base value and the second duty cycle feedforward value to control the current of the third-phase winding in the three-phase motor.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a power battery heating system, the system comprising:

[0064] A three-phase inverter 10; a three-phase motor 20, wherein the first phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 is connected to the first phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter 10, the second phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 is connected to the second phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter 10, and the third phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 is connected to the third phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter 10.

[0065] A connection line between the first phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 and the first phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter 10 is led out, and the led-out connection line is used to connect to an external power supply.

[0066] Optionally, a switch element K1 is provided to control the connection between the external power supply and the power battery heating system. Figure 2 As shown, one end of the switch element K1 is connected to the connection line between the first phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 and the first phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter 10, and the other end of the switch element K1 is used to connect to the external power supply U DC When the car is connected to a charging station or other external power source, the switch element K1 is closed.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, taking the first phase winding of the three-phase motor 20 as the U phase winding Lu, the second phase winding as the V phase winding Lv, and the third phase winding as the W phase winding Lw as an example, when the electric vehicle is connected to the charging pile, the switch element K1 is closed, and the output terminal of the U phase winding Lu of the three-phase motor 20 is connected to the external power supply U DC The positive pole of the power supply, external power supply U DC The negative pole of the power supply is connected to the power battery U via the negative port of the three-phase inverter 10 bat The negative electrode, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0068] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the first phase winding can also be a V-phase winding, the second phase winding and the third phase winding are a W-phase winding and a U-phase winding, or the first phase winding is a W-phase winding, the second phase winding and the third phase winding are a U-phase winding and a V-phase winding. In this embodiment, the first phase is U-phase, the second phase is V-phase, and the third phase is W-phase.

[0069] In addition, the above connection method can also be to connect the output end of the V-phase winding Lv of the three-phase motor 20 to the external power supply U DC The positive pole of the power supply controls the current in the U-phase winding Lu of the three-phase motor 20 and the W-phase winding Lw of the three-phase motor 20, or the output end of the W-phase winding Lw of the three-phase motor 20 is connected to the external power supply U DC The positive pole of the power supply controls the current in the U-phase winding Lu and the V-phase winding Lv of the three-phase motor 20.

[0070] When the external power supply is connected Figure 2 In the power battery heating system shown, by connecting one phase of the three-phase winding to an external power source and controlling the current of the other two phases of the three-phase winding, the self-heating effect of the power battery is controlled. At the same time, bidirectional power flow between the external power source and the power battery can be achieved to achieve the effect of charging or discharging the battery.

[0071] Furthermore, the three-phase inverter 10 includes a first power switching element Q1 , a second power switching element Q2 , a third power switching element Q3 , a fourth power switching element Q4 , a fifth power switching element Q5 and a sixth power switching element Q6 ;

[0072] The first ends of the first power switching element Q1, the third power switching element Q3 and the fifth power switching element Q5 are connected together to form the positive port of the three-phase inverter 10, and the second ends of the second power switching element Q2, the fourth power switching element and the sixth power switching element Q6 are connected together to form the negative port of the three-phase inverter 10. If the power switching element is a transistor as an example, the first end refers to the collector and the second end refers to the emitter.

[0073] The third power switch element Q3, the fourth power switch element Q4 and the second phase winding Lv of the three-phase motor 20 form a boost circuit; the fifth power switch element Q5, the sixth power switch element Q6 and the third phase winding Lw of the three-phase motor 20 form a buck circuit, and the boost circuit and the buck circuit are connected in parallel to form a circuit topology for multiplexing winding boost charging. Through this circuit topology, the heating efficiency and charging and discharging efficiency of the power battery can be improved by using an external power supply without increasing any hardware costs.

[0074] Furthermore, the power battery heating system also includes a power battery U bat , a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2;

[0075] Power Battery U bat The positive electrode is connected to the positive port of the three-phase inverter 10, and the power battery U bat The negative electrode of the three-phase inverter 10 is connected to the negative port, the first capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the power battery and the three-phase inverter 10, and the second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the external power supply U DCIt is connected in parallel with the three-phase motor 20 .

[0076] Among them, the first capacitor C1 is a bus capacitor, which can bat The bus current is filtered and output to the power battery U bat The battery current acts on the internal resistance of the power battery to generate heat loss to the power battery U bat Heating to improve the power battery U bat The discharge efficiency is high, and the second capacitor C2 is a step-down capacitor that plays the role of energy storage and voltage smoothing.

[0077] Figure 2 The direction of the arrow in the middle indicates the positive direction of the current. The three-phase currents of the three-phase motor 20 have the following relationship:

[0078] i u =-(i v +i w )

[0079] Among them, i u It represents the current flowing through the first power switch element, the second power switch element and the first phase winding, and also represents the net outflow current of the external power supply, reflecting the average charging current of the power battery. Because there is internal resistance inside the battery, when the power battery temperature is too low, the internal resistance will increase. If a large current is charged at this time, it will accelerate the degradation of the power battery. Therefore, when charging, i u It should be kept at a smaller value to reduce the consumption of the power battery. v Represents the current flowing through the boost circuit, i w Indicates the current flowing through the step-down circuit.

[0080] From the above formula representing the relationship between the three-phase currents, it can be seen that the current directions of the V-phase and W-phase windings are always opposite, and the amplitudes are close. When battery heating is required, the current amplitudes of the V-phase winding and the W-phase winding, as well as the switching frequency, are controlled so that the charge and discharge currents of the power battery meet the power requirements of battery heating. In addition, the battery can also be charged or discharged.

[0081] exist Figure 2 In the power battery heating system shown, the current of each phase winding and the corresponding working mode are shown in Table 1 below (taking the average current of phase V less than zero as an example):

[0082] Table 1

[0083] Working mode / current <![CDATA[i u ]]> <![CDATA[i v ]]> <![CDATA[i w ]]> Battery heating 0 <![CDATA[-|I peak |]]> <![CDATA[|I peak |]]> Battery heating + low current charging <![CDATA[|I dc |]]> <![CDATA[-|I peak |]]> <![CDATA[|I peak |-|I dc |]]> Battery heating + battery discharge <![CDATA[-|I dc |]]> <![CDATA[-|I peak |]]> <![CDATA[|I peak |+|I dc |]]>

[0084] In the above Table 1, I dc is the U-phase current, which is the current output from the external power supply to the power battery heating system; I peakIndicates the peak current of phase V. The working mode in the table is for one control cycle, for example:

[0085] 1. "Battery heating" mode means that after connecting to an external power source, the battery is only heated within one control cycle without charging or discharging the battery; i u The current value is 0. Substituting 0 into the above three-phase current formula, we can see that i v The current value is -|I peak |, corresponding to i w The current value is |I peak |;

[0086] 2. Mode "Battery heating + low current charging" means that after connecting to an external power supply, the battery heating must be controlled and the battery must be charged within one control cycle. At this time, there is |I dc |, still |I dc |Substitute into the above three-phase current formula, we can see that at this time i v The current value is -|I peak |,i w The current value is |I peak |-|I dc |;

[0087] 3. The "Battery Heating + Battery Discharging" mode means that after connecting to an external power source, the battery heating and battery discharge are controlled within one control cycle. For example, when an electric vehicle needs to feed power to the grid, battery heating and battery discharge are achieved simultaneously.

[0088] In this embodiment, by connecting the first-phase winding of the three-phase motor to an external power supply, the second-phase winding of the three-phase motor and the current in the second-phase winding of the three-phase motor are controlled, thereby avoiding the problem of limited remaining power of the power battery and achieving the effect of controlling the heating efficiency and charging and discharging efficiency of the power battery without increasing any hardware cost.

[0089] Further, refer to Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a power battery heating control method, which is applied to Figure 2 The power battery heating system shown in the figure. It should be noted in advance that one end of the switch element is set on the connection line between the U-phase winding of the three-phase motor and the U-phase bridge arm of the three-phase inverter, and the other end of the switch element is connected to the external power supply. v <0,i w >0 as an example, the V-phase winding of the three-phase motor and the third and fourth power switching elements form a boost circuit, and the W-phase winding of the three-phase motor and the fifth and sixth power switching elements form a buck circuit. The power battery heating control method includes the following steps:

[0090] Step S10, when the external power supply is connected to the power battery heating system, obtaining the charging and discharging power and heating power of the power battery;

[0091] Optionally, when the power battery heating system is connected to an external power supply, the entire vehicle generates charge and discharge power instructions and heating power instructions for the power battery. The charge and discharge power instructions include the charge and discharge power of the power battery, and the heating power instructions include the heating power of the power battery. The charge and discharge power of the power battery is obtained according to the charge and discharge power instructions, and the heating power of the power battery is obtained according to the heating instructions.

[0092] Step S20, obtaining the desired current of the three-phase winding according to the charging and discharging power and the heating power;

[0093] Optionally, the expected current of the three-phase winding corresponding to the charge / discharge power and the heating power is pre-calibrated, and the correspondence between the calibrated charge / discharge power, the heating power, and the expected current of the three-phase winding is pre-stored in the controller. When the charge / discharge power and the heating power are obtained, the corresponding expected current of the three-phase winding is obtained based on the correspondence between the charge / discharge power, the heating power, and the expected current of the three-phase winding.

[0094] Optionally, the desired currents of the three-phase windings are obtained by calculation by the controller.

[0105] P h =(i * bat- ) 2 ·R bat- +(i * bat~ ) 2 ·R bat~

[0106] Step S24: Obtain the expected AC component of the bus current according to the expected AC component of the power battery.

[0107] According to the transfer function relationship between the power battery current and the bus current, and the selection of the appropriate switching frequency f SW , and determine the expected AC component of the bus current using the following formula:

[0109] Among them, i * bat~ Represents the expected AC component of the power battery, and obtains i * link~ represents the desired AC component of the bus current, R bat Indicates the internal resistance of the power battery, C1 indicates Figure 2 Wherein, the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 is jω, and jω is the independent variable.

[0110] Step S25, based on the expected AC component i of the bus current * link~ , the expected current i of the first phase winding* u , obtaining desired currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding.

[0111] According to the expected current i of the second phase winding * v and the desired current i of the third phase winding * w The relationship between the two phases is calculated as follows: * v and the desired current i of the third phase winding * w , specifically:

[0112] |i * v -i * w |=k·i * link~

[0113] i * v +i * w =-i * u

[0114] Wherein, k in the above formula represents the fundamental wave conversion coefficient, which can be calculated based on the bus current waveform.

[0115] Step S30 , controlling the currents in the second phase winding and the third phase winding of the three-phase motor based on the expected currents of the second phase winding and the third phase winding in the expected currents of the three-phase winding and the sampled currents of the second phase winding and the third phase winding.

[0116] According to the desired current and sampled current of the V-phase winding and the W-phase winding, the duty cycle adjustment amount of the control signal of the V-phase power switching element and the control signal of the W-phase power switching element are obtained respectively. Based on this duty cycle adjustment amount, the PWM control signal is output to the power switching elements of the boost circuit and the buck circuit via the PWM controller to control the current in the second phase winding and the third phase winding in the three-phase motor.

[0117] In this embodiment, the U-phase winding is connected to a switching element to realize the connection of an external power supply. The PWM control signal controls the power switching element of the V-phase and the power switching element of the W-phase, that is, the switching state of the power switching elements in the boost circuit and the buck circuit is controlled to realize the control of the current in the second-phase winding Lv and the third-phase winding Lw, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the heating efficiency and the charging and discharging efficiency of the power battery.

[0118] It should be noted that Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the waveforms of each phase winding current and battery charge and discharge current in the battery heating mode and battery heating + low current charging mode obtained through simulation experiments.

[0119] The battery heating system operates in the battery heating mode, and the switching frequency f is determined according to the charging and discharging power and heating power of the power battery. SW ≈10kHz, the expected current i of the V-phase winding * v ≈-500A, expected current i of U phase winding * w Taking ≈500A as an example, Figure 5 The waveform corresponding to the battery heating system obtained by simulation in this case is shown. link Indicates the bus current, i bat represents the current of the power battery, I_v represents the V-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_w represents the W-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_u represents the U-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_C1 represents the current at the bus capacitor C1, and g_s4, s5 represent the control signals of the V-phase and W-phase power switching elements in the three-phase inverter.

[0120] The battery heating system operates in the battery heating + low current charging mode, and the switching frequency f is determined according to the charging and discharging power and heating power of the power battery. SW ≈5kHz, the expected current i of the V-phase winding * v ≈-500A, expected current i of U phase winding * w ≈480A as an example, Figure 6 The waveform corresponding to the battery heating system obtained by simulation in this case is shown. link Indicates the bus current, i bat represents the current of the power battery, I_v represents the V-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_w represents the W-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_u represents the U-phase winding current of the three-phase motor, I_C1 represents the current at the bus capacitor C1, and g_s4, s5 represent the control signals of the V-phase and W-phase power switching elements in the three-phase inverter.

[0121] Combine Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 2 It can also be concluded that i u 、i v and i w The direction of Figure 5 For example, the current value shown by I_v shows that at this time i v is a negative value, so at this time Figure 2 in i vThe direction is "neutral point N→midpoint V of the second phase bridge arm"; it can be seen from the current value shown by I_w that at this time, i w is positive, so at this time Figure 1 in i w The direction is "midpoint W of the third phase bridge arm → neutral point N"; it can be seen from the current value shown by I_u that there is no i u ,therefore Figure 2 No i u The PWM control signal controls the switching states of the third power switch element, the fourth power switch element, the fifth power switch element, and the sixth power switch element, thereby controlling i v The specific flow direction between the third power switch element and the fourth power switch element and i w The specific flow direction between the fifth power switch element and the sixth power switch element achieves the effect of controlling the battery heating efficiency and charging efficiency.

[0122] In one example, refer to Figure 4 An embodiment of the present application provides a power battery heating control method. Based on the embodiment shown in step S30 above, the step of "controlling the currents in the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding of the three-phase motor based on the expected currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding, and the sampled currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding" includes:

[0123] Step S31, comparing the desired current of the second-phase winding and the sampled current, determining a first duty cycle adjustment value of the power switch element of the second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the desired current and the sampled current of the second-phase winding, and controlling the power switch element of the second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the first duty cycle adjustment value to control the current of the second-phase winding in the three-phase motor;

[0124] Step S32: compare the expected current and the sampled current of the third group of windings, determine the second duty cycle adjustment amount of the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the expected current and the sampled current of the third group of windings, and control the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the second duty cycle adjustment amount to control the current of the third phase winding in the three-phase motor.

[0125] according to Figure 7 As can be seen from the control principle diagram, in this embodiment, the desired current i of the V-phase winding is obtained. * v and the sampling current i of the V-phase winding v Then, the desired current i of the V phase winding is * v and sampling current i vAfter comparison, the first PI (Proportional Integral) controller PI1 outputs the duty cycle adjustment value D of the V-phase power switch element according to the comparison result. vΔ The first PWM controller PWM1 adjusts the duty cycle of the V-phase power switch element D vΔ The output is a control signal S3 for controlling the third power switch element Q3 and a control signal S4 for the fourth power switch element Q4 in the three-phase inverter.

[0126] To obtain the desired current i of the W phase winding * w and sampling current i w Then, the desired current i of the W phase winding is * w and sampling current i w The second PI controller PI2 outputs the duty cycle adjustment value D of the W phase power switch element according to the comparison result. wΔ The second PWM controller PWM2 adjusts the duty cycle of the W-phase power switch element D wΔ , outputs a control signal S5 for controlling the fifth power switch element Q5 and a control signal S6 for the sixth power switch element Q6 in the three-phase inverter.

[0127] If the connection to the external power supply is achieved by leading the switching element from the V-phase winding, the PWM controller outputs the upper arm control signal, lower arm control signal of the U-phase power switching element and the upper arm control signal, lower arm control signal of the W-phase power switching element; if the connection to the external power supply is achieved by leading the switching element from the W-phase winding, the PWM controller outputs the upper arm control signal, lower arm control signal of the U-phase power switching element and the upper arm control signal, lower arm control signal of the V-phase power switching element.

[0128] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the example of parallel control of V phase and W phase is used for illustration. In actual application scenarios, the control order of V phase and W phase is not limited. In addition to parallel control, W phase control can also be performed after V phase control, or V phase control can be performed after W phase control.

[0130] Step S33 , obtaining a first duty cycle feedforward value of the fourth power switch element and a second duty cycle feedforward value of the fifth power switch element in the three-phase inverter according to the bus voltage and the external power supply voltage.

[0131] The first duty cycle feedforward value and the second duty cycle feedforward value are calculated as follows:

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] Among them, D v_boost In this embodiment, it is the duty cycle feedforward value of the fourth power switch element of the second phase, that is, the first duty cycle feedforward value, D w_buck In this embodiment, it is the duty cycle feedforward value of the fifth power switch element of the third phase, that is, the second duty cycle feedforward value.

[0135] When the battery heating control method includes step S33, the above step S30, i.e., the step of “controlling the currents in the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding of the three-phase motor based on the expected currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding among the expected currents of the three-phase winding and the sampled currents of the second-phase winding and the third-phase winding” includes:

[0136] Step S34: compare the expected current and the sampled current of the second-phase winding; determine a first duty cycle adjustment base value for the power switching element of the second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the expected current and the sampled current of the second-phase winding; and control the power switching element of the second phase in the three-phase inverter based on the first duty cycle adjustment base value and the first duty cycle feedforward value to control the current of the second-phase winding in the three-phase motor.

[0137] Step S35: Compare the expected current and the sampled current of the third-phase winding; determine a second duty cycle adjustment base value for the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the comparison result of the expected current and the sampled current of the third-phase winding; control the power switching element of the third phase in the three-phase inverter based on the second duty cycle adjustment base value and the second duty cycle feedforward value to control the current of the third-phase winding in the three-phase motor.
