Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery management technology, and in particular to a battery stepped charging method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the most widely used charging technology is constant current / constant voltage (DCV) charging, which involves charging the battery with a constant current to the cutoff voltage, and then charging it with a constant voltage at the cutoff voltage. However, due to the inherent internal resistance of the battery, DCV charging causes continuous accumulation of battery polarization, which affects the charging speed. Battery polarization refers to the phenomenon where current flowing through the battery causes it to deviate from its equilibrium electrode potential. Therefore, during constant current charging, the accumulation of battery polarization becomes increasingly severe, thus reducing the charging speed. Therefore, controlling and eliminating polarization is crucial for achieving fast and efficient battery charging.

[0003] In related technologies, the charging limiting current remains unchanged throughout the entire lifespan, meaning the limiting current is constant throughout the entire lifespan. However, batteries degrade, so a suitable limiting current in the early stages of a battery's lifespan may not be suitable in the later stages. Therefore, using a constant limiting current for charging throughout the entire lifespan will most likely damage the battery. Summary of the Invention

Before the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the first step charging current of the current cycle is greater than the first step charging current of the previous cycle.

[0007] Once the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the battery is charged in the second stage according to the cycle.

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0035] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a battery stepped charging device provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] This application provides a battery stepped charging method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium, which can solve the problem of battery damage caused by using a constant limiting current for charging throughout the entire life cycle in related technologies.

[0038] Figure 1 This application provides a battery stepped charging method, which includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S10: Charge the battery in the first stage according to the cycle. The number of cycles is an integer greater than or equal to 2. In each cycle of the first stage of charging, the battery is charged for a first preset time according to the first step charging current corresponding to each cycle. Before the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the first step charging current of the current cycle is greater than the first step charging current of the previous cycle.

[0040] As an example, in this embodiment, the number of cycles is an integer greater than or equal to 2, which can be set according to actual needs, and the duration of each cycle can be set according to actual needs.

[0041] The preset charging cutoff voltage is positively correlated with the battery's SOC state, and its specific value can be set according to the actual battery system and system control requirements. Before the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the battery charging is in the first stage. In the first stage, each cycle charges the battery for a first preset duration according to the first step charging current corresponding to each cycle (or it can be a step charging power, which can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here). In the first stage, the battery's SOC at the beginning of each cycle is lower than the maximum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the first stage. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first step charging current of the current cycle will be greater than the first step charging current of the previous cycle. The first preset duration can be set according to actual needs; for example, the first preset duration can be between 1 second and 600 seconds.

[0042] Furthermore, battery cascading charging methods include:

[0043] When the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the first stage, the battery capacity, nominal capacity, minimum state of charge corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature are substituted into the first calculation formula to obtain the first step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle. The first calculation formula is as follows:

[0044]

[0045] Among them, I1i Let A1 be the first-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle, where i is an integer and 1 ≤ i ≤ N, and N is the number of cycles. A1 and B1 are the material chemical reaction rate coefficients corresponding to the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle. C1 is the SOC coefficient, D1 is the temperature coefficient, E1 and F1 are the time coefficients, SOC1 is the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, SOC0 is the minimum state of charge corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, R is the molar gas constant, T is the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle, t is the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, SOH is the battery health state, i.e., the ratio of battery capacity to nominal capacity, and e is the natural constant. The battery's current handling capacity can be determined based on the rate charging test current, and the specific values ​​of A1, B1, and D1 can be derived through fitting calculations.

[0046] In this exemplary embodiment, the battery state of charge (SOC) at the start of the i-th cycle is compared with the maximum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the first stage. When the SOC at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the first stage, the first-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle is determined based on the battery capacity, nominal capacity, minimum SOC corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, the battery SOC at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature. Specifically, the battery capacity, nominal capacity, minimum SOC corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, the battery SOC at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature are substituted into the first calculation formula to obtain the first-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle. The first calculation formula is:

[0047]

[0048] Among them, I 1i Let A1 be the first-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle, B1 be the material chemical reaction rate coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle, C1 be the SOC coefficient, D1 be the temperature coefficient, E1 be the time coefficient, SOC1 be the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, SOC0 be the minimum state of charge corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, R be the molar gas constant, T be the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle, t be the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, SOH be the battery health state, i.e., the ratio of battery capacity to nominal capacity, and e be the natural constant.

[0049] It should be noted that the above is only an illustrative explanation of the first calculation formula. Based on the battery capacity, nominal capacity, minimum state of charge corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, the duration of the preset charging in the i-th cycle, the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature, the first step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle can also be calculated by other formulas. The principle followed is that when the battery state of charge is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the first stage, the first step charging current corresponding to the next cycle is greater than the first step charging current corresponding to the previous cycle.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the battery's state of charge (SOC) at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the first stage, it indicates that the battery's charging capacity is weak. Therefore, the first-stage charging current is set based on the principle that the first-stage charging current in the subsequent cycle is greater than the first-stage charging current in the previous cycle, which can prevent lithium plating in the low SOC segment and ensure charging speed. In addition, since the charging current change in the first stage in this embodiment fully considers the SOH change and its impact throughout the battery's entire service life, it can further ensure the safe use of the battery and prevent battery abuse.

[0051] Furthermore, when the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the first stage, the charging amount in the i-th cycle is greater than the charging amount in the (i-1)-th cycle.

[0052] As an example, in this embodiment, after determining that the state of charge of the battery at the beginning of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the first stage, the charging capacity of the i-th cycle is determined according to the first step charging current at the beginning of the i-th cycle, and the charging capacity of the i-th cycle is greater than the charging capacity of the (i-1)-th cycle.

[0053] Step S20: When the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the battery is charged in the second stage according to the cycle. In each cycle of the second stage charging, the battery is charged for a second preset duration according to the second step charging current corresponding to each cycle. Before the battery voltage reaches the second preset charging cutoff voltage, the second step charging current of the current cycle is less than the second step charging current of the previous cycle.

[0054] As an example, in this embodiment, the number of cycles is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and can be set according to actual needs. The duration of each cycle can also be set according to actual needs.

[0055] Before the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage but before reaching the second preset charging cutoff voltage, the battery charging is in the second stage. In the second stage, the battery is charged for a second preset duration according to the second-step charging current corresponding to each cycle. Furthermore, in the second stage, the battery's state of charge at the beginning of each cycle is higher than the minimum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the second stage. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second-step charging current of the current cycle will be less than the second-step charging current of the previous cycle. The second preset duration can be set according to actual needs; for example, the second preset duration can be between 1 second and 600 seconds.

[0056] Furthermore, battery cascading charging methods include:

[0057] When the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is higher than the minimum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the second stage, the battery capacity, nominal capacity, preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, and ambient temperature are substituted into the second calculation formula to obtain the second-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle. The second calculation formula is as follows:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, I 2i Let A1 be the second-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle, where i is an integer and 1 ≤ i ≤ N, and N is the number of cycles. A2 and B2 are the material chemical reaction rate coefficients corresponding to the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle. C2 and D2 are the SOC coefficients, E2 is the temperature coefficient, F2 and G2 are the time coefficients, SOC2 is the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, R is the molar gas constant, T is the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle, t is the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, H2 is the SOH health coefficient, and SOH is the ratio of battery capacity to nominal capacity; e represents the natural constant. The battery's current-carrying capacity can be determined based on the rate-charging test current, and the specific values ​​of A1 and B1 can be derived through fitting calculations.

[0060] In this exemplary embodiment, the battery state of charge (SOC) at the start of the i-th cycle is compared to the minimum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the second stage. When the SOC at the start of the i-th cycle is higher than the minimum SOC corresponding to the lowest point of the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite in the second stage, the second-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle is determined based on the battery capacity, nominal capacity, the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, the battery SOC at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature. Specifically, the battery capacity, nominal capacity, the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, the battery SOC at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature are substituted into the second calculation formula to obtain the second-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle. The second calculation formula is:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, I 2i Here, i is the second-step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle, where i is an integer and 1≤i≤N, and N is the number of cycles. A2 and B2 are the material chemical reaction rate coefficients corresponding to the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle. C2 and D2 are the SOC coefficients, E2 is the temperature coefficient, F2 and G2 are the time coefficients, SOC2 is the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, R is the molar gas constant, T is the ambient temperature at the start of the i-th cycle, t is the preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, H2 is the SOH health coefficient, where SOH is the battery health state, i.e., the ratio of battery capacity to nominal capacity; e represents the natural constant.

[0063] It should be noted that the above is only an illustrative explanation of the second calculation formula. Based on the battery capacity, nominal capacity, the duration of the preset charging in the i-th cycle, the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, and the ambient temperature, the second-stage charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle can also be calculated using other formulas. The principle followed is that when the battery state of charge is higher than the minimum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the second stage, the second-stage charging current corresponding to the next cycle is less than the second-stage charging current corresponding to the previous cycle.

[0064] In this embodiment, considering that the battery's charging capacity gradually decreases as the battery's state of charge increases, this approach effectively avoids lithium plating caused by the decrease in charging capacity after battery capacity decays. Furthermore, since the charging current variation in the second stage of this embodiment fully considers the changes and impacts of SOH throughout the battery's entire lifespan, it further ensures the safe use of the battery and prevents battery abuse.

[0065] Furthermore, when the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is higher than the minimum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the second stage, the charging amount in the i-th cycle is less than the charging amount in the (i-1)-th cycle.

[0066] As an example, in this embodiment, after determining that the state of charge of the battery at the beginning of the i-th cycle is higher than the minimum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the second stage, the charging capacity of the i-th cycle is determined according to the second step charging current at the beginning of the i-th cycle, and the charging capacity of the i-th cycle is less than the charging capacity of the (i-1)-th cycle.

[0067] Therefore, this embodiment demonstrates that by charging the battery in stages and according to cycles, and by gradually increasing the charging current in the first stage and gradually decreasing the charging current in the second stage, the battery is protected from crystallization and damage to the positive electrode structure. In other words, the battery is rapidly charged with a larger current and charged with a smaller current to keep the charging polarization phenomenon within a certain range. This achieves control over the charging polarization phenomenon, thereby reducing capacity decay during battery charging, suppressing side reactions, reducing damage to the battery, and ensuring the overall charging rate of the battery.

[0068] See Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides a battery stepped charging device, including:

[0069] The first-stage charging module is used to charge the battery in the first stage according to the cycle. The number of cycles is an integer greater than or equal to 2. In each cycle of the first-stage charging, the battery is charged for a first preset duration according to the first-step charging current corresponding to each cycle. Before the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage, the first-step charging current of the current cycle is greater than the first-step charging current of the previous cycle.

[0070] The second-stage charging module is used to charge the battery in the second stage according to the cycle after the battery voltage reaches the first preset charging cutoff voltage. In each cycle of the second-stage charging, the battery is charged for a second preset duration according to the second-step charging current corresponding to each cycle. Before the battery voltage reaches the second preset charging cutoff voltage, the second-step charging current of the current cycle is less than the second-step charging current of the previous cycle.

[0071] Furthermore, the battery stepped charging device also includes:

[0072] The first current determination module is used to determine the first step charging current corresponding to the i-th cycle by substituting the battery capacity, nominal capacity, minimum state of charge corresponding to the second lithium intercalation platform of the negative electrode graphite, preset charging duration of the i-th cycle, battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle, and ambient temperature into a first calculation formula when the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the first stage. The first calculation formula is as follows:

[0075] Furthermore, when the battery state of charge at the start of the i-th cycle is lower than the maximum state of charge corresponding to the lowest point of the negative electrode graphite second lithium intercalation platform in the first stage, the charging amount in the i-th cycle is greater than the charging amount in the (i-1)-th cycle.
