Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the application field of battery swap stations, and specifically to a battery life assessment system for battery swap stations. Background Art

[0002] Currently, electric vehicle batteries used in battery swap stations are either leased or purchased. This is due to the drawbacks of using battery swap stations to power electric vehicles: batteries are circulating, which means that the asset quality cannot be guaranteed. If users rent batteries, the operator will bear the cost of battery loss caused by some users' driving habits. If the operator increases the lease price due to battery loss, it will be disadvantageous to users with good driving habits. The increase in lease prices will also prevent the popularization of battery swap stations as a charging method for electric vehicles. If users purchase batteries, the circulating batteries vary, and the quality of the batteries cannot be guaranteed. If the battery fails during user use, the division of responsibility is unclear. If the battery failure cost is borne by the battery swap station, the cost of the battery swap station is too high. Therefore, developing a digital system that can record actual battery trajectory and track vehicle power usage habits can not only constrain user usage habits and effectively improve battery life, but also monitor the actual battery status and ensure the safety of batteries circulating in the battery swap station system.

[0023] A method for evaluating the virtual and real life of batteries in a battery swap station system can be specifically divided into a method for evaluating the virtual life of batteries in a battery swap station system, a method for evaluating the actual life of batteries in a battery swap station system, a method for calling and storing the virtual and real life of batteries in a battery swap station system, and a method for applying the virtual and real life of batteries in a battery swap station system. The virtual life evaluation is mainly used for battery swap settlement with new energy vehicle users, and the actual life evaluation is mainly used as a basis for judging whether the batteries in the battery swap station have been eliminated by the overall battery swap system.

[0024] The battery virtual life assessment method for the battery swap station system includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. Obtain the operating status parameters of the battery in the vehicle based on the sensors in the battery module and the electric vehicle module, transmit the real-time values of the operating status parameters to the in-vehicle data operation memory through communication between the sensors and the in-vehicle data operation memory, calculate the value of the battery virtual life indicator through the in-vehicle data operation memory, and store the calculated value in the in-vehicle data operation memory.

[0026] The actual life evaluation method of the battery swap station system includes the following steps:

[0027] S2. In the new energy vehicle, the operating status parameters of the battery in the vehicle are obtained based on the sensors in the battery module and the electric vehicle module, and the real-time values of the operating status parameters are transmitted to the battery data operation memory through the communication between the sensors and the battery data operation memory. The value of the actual life index consumed by the battery in the vehicle is calculated through the battery data operation memory, and the calculated value is stored in the battery data operation memory; in the battery swap station, the charging status parameters of the battery in the station are obtained based on the sensors in the battery module and the battery swap station module. The real-time values of the charging status parameters are transmitted to the battery data operation memory through the communication between the sensors and the battery data operation memory. The value of the actual life index consumed by the battery in the station is calculated through the battery data operation memory, and the calculated value is stored in the battery data operation memory.

[0028] The method for calling and storing the virtual and real life of batteries in the battery swap station system includes the following steps:

[0029] S3. Before the battery module is detached from the tram module, the actual battery life indicator of the battery module and the virtual battery life indicator of the tram module are synchronized with the battery life value consumed during the operation cycle of the tram and the final actual battery life indicator is stored in the battery data operation memory, and the final virtual battery life indicator is stored in the vehicle data operation memory;

[0030] S4. Before the battery module is connected to the battery swap station module, the latest actual battery life indicator stored in the battery data operation memory of the battery module is transmitted to the in-station data operation memory of the battery swap station module via communication; after the battery module completes charging, the actual battery life indicator is updated and transmitted to the in-station data operation memory of the battery swap station module via communication.

[0031] The above-mentioned method for calling and storing the virtual and real life of batteries in the battery swap station system only provides one way to call and store virtual and real life data. It is not limited to this method, and the calling and storage of virtual and real life data can also be set at different time nodes.

[0032] The application method of the battery lifespan in the battery swap station system includes the following steps:

[0033] S5. In the tram, when the virtual life indicator of the battery in the tram module decreases to 0, it means that the service life of the battery purchased by the user has expired. The subsequent use fee of the battery connected to the battery swap station is determined based on the user's actual choice;

[0034] S6. In a battery swap station, when the actual battery life indicator of a battery module is determined by the data operation memory in the station to be less than the actual battery life threshold allowed in the battery swap station system, the battery module will be discarded, recycled or enter the next battery system through the elimination process.

[0035] The method of obtaining the operating status parameters of the battery in the vehicle according to the sensors in the battery module and the electric vehicle module in S1 may specifically be:

[0036] S1001. Obtain real-time output current i through the in-vehicle interface current sensor and in-vehicle interface voltage sensor car , real-time output voltage u car , and calculate the real-time battery output power P car .

[0037] Furthermore, the battery operating status perception is completed by obtaining other dimensional parameters in addition to the power parameters, which can be specifically:

[0038] S1002. Obtain the real-time operating temperature T of the battery body through the battery temperature sensor battery , obtain the real-time running speed v of the tram through the motor speed sensor car , and calculate the real-time acceleration a of the tram car .

[0039] Among them, the battery virtual life indicator LT described in S1 Vir-batt The specific calculation formula can be:

[0040]

[0041] Among them, LT0 is the factory life of the battery used in the electric vehicle, LT unit is the life of a fully charged battery in one cycle of the electric vehicle, ε cor-i is the correction parameter calculated by the electric vehicle according to the real-time operating status parameters during the i-th battery use cycle, and d is the number of times the electric vehicle has used the battery. unit To set constant values, LT0 and LT unit Generally, the following relationship is satisfied: Here, n can be the number of charge and discharge cycles of the battery used in the electric vehicle, and can also be set manually and adjusted accordingly according to demand.
