Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of control of battery management systems, and more particularly to an equalization control method and system for an automotive battery pack. Background Art

[0002] Differences in capacity caused during the production process and use of battery cells will result in a loss of the capacity of the entire battery pack. To eliminate this loss as much as possible, the battery management system needs to turn on the equalization function at an appropriate time to suppress the continuous deterioration of the capacity difference. At the same time, the currently relatively mature equalization technology is passive equalization, which consumes high-SOC (state of charge) battery cells or modules to reduce the overall SOC level to the lowest SOC, thereby keeping them consistent. This is an energy-consuming process, and the consumed electrical energy is transferred to the entire battery management system (BMS) control board through heat. When equalizing, it is necessary to ensure that there is no overheating or thermal runaway.

[0003] Current equalization control mainly considers the current demand and directly controls the equalization switch, without considering other factors. After the equalization energy-consuming resistors located on the same control board are turned on, they continuously generate heat, and this heat acts on the control chip again. If not controlled, it will cause the control chips to not work in the optimal temperature range at least, and may lead to over-temperature protection or thermal runaway at worst.

[0004] Therefore, in the prior art, simply and crudely stopping the equalization function by thermal protection frequently reduces the equalization efficiency, and causes the sampling accuracy of the controller to deteriorate due to the influence of high temperature. Especially when the ambient temperature is high, turning on the equalization will cause the temperature of the control board to rise rapidly, and the thermal equilibrium temperature may exceed the allowable range of the sampling chip or the control chip.

Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, obtaining other drawings based on these drawings still belongs to the scope of the present invention.

[0046] Figure 3 For Figure 2 Schematic structural diagram of the target equalization current acquisition unit in Detailed implementation manners

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, a main flowchart of an embodiment of an equalization control method for an automotive battery pack provided by the present invention is shown; in this embodiment, the equalization control method for a new energy vehicle battery pack includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S10: Collect the current voltages of all battery cells in the battery pack of the new energy vehicle, and determine whether the pressure difference between the current voltage of each battery cell and the lowest voltage among them exceeds a preset pressure difference threshold according to the voltage distribution, where the preset pressure difference threshold is preset and determined according to different vehicle models;

[0050] Step S11: When the pressure difference exceeds the pressure difference threshold, obtain the numbers and the quantity of channels where the voltage deviations exceed the pressure difference threshold, and determine the equalization target channel information;

[0051] Step S12: Determine the capacity to be equalized according to the pressure difference; and determine the remaining driving time as the equalization time to be determined according to the remaining driving time; among them, the remaining driving time can be estimated according to the navigation information in the vehicle computer and the recent driving history data;

[0052] Step S13: Calculate a preliminary equalization current according to the capacity to be equalized and the equalization time to be determined; where step S13 specifically includes:

[0053] Divide the capacity to be equalized by the equalization time to be determined to obtain the preliminary equalization current.

[0054] Step S14: Query a pre-calibrated equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table at the current ambient temperature according to the preliminary equalization current and the number of channels, obtain the predicted temperature rise value, and adjust and determine the target equalization current in combination with the temperature upper limit value of the battery pack control board; the equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table records the corresponding relationship between the number of channels, the equalization current and the predicted temperature rise value;

[0055] It can be understood that it further includes:

[0056] Pre-calibrate and obtain the temperature rise data corresponding to the battery pack control board by performing equalization processing on a new energy vehicle battery at different ambient temperatures, with different numbers of equalization channels and different equalization currents, and generate an equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table for each ambient temperature.

[0057] Specifically, during the vehicle model configuration development stage, corresponding data is obtained through a large number of experiments, an equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table at the ambient temperature is generated, and it is pre-stored in the vehicle-mounted system. As shown in Table 1 below, it shows the equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table at an ambient temperature of 25°C.

[0058] Table 1 Equalization Channel Number - Current - Temperature Rise Comparison Table at 25°C

[0059]

[0060] The above are only the temperature rise data at an ambient temperature of 25°C, where the first column is the equalization current data, the first row is the number of opened equalization channels, and other values are the temperature rise values. For example, when 5 equalization channels are opened simultaneously and the equalization current is 80 mA, the temperature will rise by 34°C, and so on. In the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to obtain equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison tables corresponding to other ambient temperatures. For example, it is possible to obtain 0°C, 1°C, 2°C... 40°C, etc.

[0061] Among them, step S14 further includes:

[0062] Obtain the maximum temperature rise value according to the difference between the temperature upper limit value of the control board and the current ambient temperature;

[0063] Query the equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table at the current ambient temperature according to the preliminary equalization current and the number of channels to obtain the predicted temperature rise value;

[0064] Judge whether the predicted temperature rise value is less than the maximum temperature rise value;

[0065] If the judgment result is yes, determine the preliminary equalization current as the target equalization current;

[0066] If the judgment result is no, query the equalization channel number - current - temperature rise comparison table to obtain the equalization current corresponding to the predicted temperature rise value that is less than and closest to the maximum temperature rise value, and determine the obtained equalization current as the target equalization current.

[0067] Step S15: Perform equalization processing on the corresponding battery cells in the new energy vehicle battery pack according to the equalization target channel information and the target equalization current.

[0068] Among them, it further includes:

[0069] Detect the current ambient temperature. When the difference between the current ambient temperature and the ambient temperature at the start of the previous equalization is greater than a predetermined temperature difference threshold, obtain the latest target equalization current again according to the foregoing steps; wherein, the predetermined temperature difference threshold can be set in advance, for example, 3°C.

[0070] For ease of understanding, the following will be described with a specific example:

[0071] For example: The current ambient temperature is 25°C, and the board temperature needs to be controlled not to exceed 55°C, that is, Δt < 30°C. In the current battery pack, the voltages of the 3rd / 6th / 9th / 22nd series of battery cells are higher than others, and they need to be equalized. The equalization channel numbers A{3, 6, 9, 22} are obtained, and the equalization quantity M = 4. Suppose the capacity difference caused by the current imbalance is 80 mAh, and the predicted driving time output by the navigation is 1 h. Then, the required equalization current is 80 mA. However, when operating at full load of 80 mA, querying the data in Table 1, the corresponding temperature rise is 32°C, exceeding the temperature control target. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the equalization current. It can be seen from the table that it can be first lowered to 70 mA. When checking the table and obtaining 4 channels of equalization channels, the temperature rise is about 28°C, meeting the requirements. Therefore, it is finally determined that the equalization is started for 1 h this time, the channels are A{3, 6, 9, 22}, and the equalization current is 70 mA, and the temperature can always be controlled within 50°C. If the ambient temperature changes during the process, the above process is carried out again to adjust the current value to ensure the most efficient operation of the equalization.
