Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the application field of battery swap stations, and specifically to a method for evaluating the virtual and real lifespan of batteries in 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.

[0110] Assume that the battery module No. 9 is connected to the electric vehicle module No. 12. When the battery module No. 9 is connected, it has completed 5 complete battery cycles, and the electric vehicle module No. 12 has completed 28 battery cycles. Then the latest actual battery life index stored in the battery operation memory of the battery module No. 9 is The latest battery virtual life index stored in the in-vehicle computing memory of the electric vehicle module No. 12 is

[0111] When the No. 12 electric vehicle module is assembled with the No. 9 battery module and runs until the No. 12 electric vehicle module enters the battery swap station for the next battery swap process, the battery operation memory of the No. 9 battery module and the in-vehicle operation memory of the No. 12 electric vehicle module synchronize the battery life consumed in this cycle. No. 9 battery module LT unit ·ε cor-6 =Serial No. 12 Car Module LT unit ·ε cor-29 , update to the latest actual battery life indicator stored in the battery operation memory of battery module No. 9 The latest battery virtual life index stored in the in-vehicle computing memory of the No. 12 electric vehicle module

[0112] After the No. 9 battery module is removed, the other No. 12 battery modules are installed in the No. 12 electric vehicle module and the No. 12 electric vehicle module completes the next use cycle, and the No. 9 battery module enters the battery swap station to access the charging system and communication system. After the No. 9 battery module is charged, the latest battery actual life index stored in the battery operation memory of the No. 9 battery module is updated. Battery module No. 9 is waiting in the battery swap station to be connected to the next tram module and the next tram module to complete the next usage cycle.

[0113] Furthermore, since the actual battery life indicator involves the safety of the battery replacement system and the data in the computing memory may have errors, an on-site life test unit is set up to complete the verification step of the actual life indicator.

[0114] Furthermore, it is also possible to only set up an in-station life test unit to complete the measurement of the actual battery life index without performing the data collection, storage, communication and call steps of the actual battery life index.

[0115] Among them, the following three methods can be used to determine the subsequent usage charges of batteries connected to the battery swap station based on the actual choice of the user as described in S5:

[0116] 1. The user purchases the virtual life LT0 of a battery module at one time. Each time the user enters the battery swap station to swap batteries, no battery maintenance fee or battery depreciation fee will be charged after the battery swap fee.

[0117] 2. The user purchases a certain amount of virtual life LT1, LT1<LT0. Every time the user enters the battery swap station to swap batteries, a battery maintenance fee or battery depreciation fee will be charged in addition to the battery swap fee. The specific fee value is determined by the size of LT0-LT1. The larger the LT0-LT1, the higher the battery maintenance fee or battery depreciation fee.

[0118] 3. If the user does not purchase the virtual life, each time the user enters the battery swap station to swap batteries, a battery maintenance fee or battery depreciation fee will be charged in addition to the battery swap fee, and the battery maintenance fee or battery depreciation fee will be the highest.

[0119] Among them, the elimination process described in S6 can be inserted in each link of the entire process in the battery swap station: before the battery is connected, before charging after the battery is connected, during charging after the battery is connected, and after charging is completed after the battery is connected. The elimination process can be completed as long as the battery module is monitored abnormally in the battery swap station.

[0120] The battery module abnormality monitoring in the battery swap station may specifically be:

[0121] By quantitatively monitoring the battery module abnormality through indicators such as battery charge and discharge efficiency, battery power conversion efficiency, battery surface wear, battery usage time, floating charge coefficient, and maximum operating temperature, the elimination basis is set to complete the battery elimination judgment. The elimination basis can be that one of the above indicators exceeds the set threshold, or two or more of the above indicators exceed the set threshold. The quantitative indicator of the difference from the set threshold can also be introduced to complete the elimination judgment.

[0122] Among them, the battery charge and discharge efficiency can be obtained by monitoring the battery operation memory of the battery module, which is the ratio of discharged power to charged power, or the ratio of discharged electric energy to charged electric energy. The specific parameter values are collected and obtained by the current sensor and the voltage sensor.

[0123] Among them, the battery power conversion efficiency can be obtained by monitoring the battery operation memory of the battery module, which is the ratio of the motor mechanical energy to the battery discharge energy. The specific parameter values are collected and obtained by the current sensor, voltage sensor and motor speed sensor.

[0124] The battery surface wear is monitored by surveillance cameras in the battery swap station, and the battery surface wear is quantified by defining corresponding indicators.

[0125] The battery usage time is obtained by storing in a data center within the battery swap station, and the battery usage time is quantified by counting the battery operating time and the battery standby time.

[0126] The float charge coefficient can be obtained by monitoring the battery operation memory of the battery module, which is the ratio of the actual charging power of the battery to the battery capacity. The specific parameter value is collected and obtained by the current sensor and the voltage sensor.

[0127] The maximum operating temperature can be obtained by monitoring the battery operation memory of the battery module, which is the maximum operating temperature monitored during the operation of the battery. The specific parameter value is collected and obtained by the battery temperature sensor.

[0128] Among them, the aforementioned monitoring of battery module abnormalities within the battery swap station can also include: monitoring the battery voltage and battery temperature during the battery charging and discharging process through the BMS battery energy management system to ensure that they do not exceed the set threshold. If they do, the power battery is judged to be abnormal and eliminated; further, the battery voltage data is monitored through the PSS battery pre-diagnosis system to capture the battery KBP key performance parameters such as internal resistance, capacity, and self-discharge parameters. Through AI self-identification of the changing patterns of the battery KBP key performance parameters during the aging process, a knowledge landscape is formed. During the data accumulation phase, the abnormal power battery is characterized and a set of feature recognition methods are formed. During the data application phase, the key performance parameter feature recognition is used to determine whether there is a deviation in consistency and thus determine whether the power battery is abnormal and needs to be eliminated. For example, currently during the data accumulation phase, it is concluded that during the charging process of a normal power battery, the voltage increases monotonically over time. If the voltage changes with time by first increasing and then decreasing, the battery is judged to be abnormal and needs to be eliminated. The actual data of the key performance parameters is collected by connecting the BMS battery energy management system or the PSS battery pre-diagnosis system to the front end of the power battery compartment.

[0129] Furthermore, in order to save system computing space, the data transmitted to the computing memory via the sensor can be first stored in the computing memory as original data, and relevant calculations can be performed when relevant indicators need to be used or transmitted.
