[0002] The on-board charger is an important device for new energy vehicles that converts the AC power of the power grid into DC power to charge the power battery. Because there are bulk capacitors on the bulk bus inside the on-board charger, the on-board charger needs to pre-charge the bulk capacitors before starting to prevent the on-board charger from generating a large impact current when starting, which may cause the charger to over-current protection and thus fail to charge normally.

[0003] At present, when precharging bulk capacitors, the success of precharging is mainly determined by judging whether the voltage across the precharged bulk capacitor reaches a predetermined voltage value. However, affected by the grid voltage, if the grid voltage harmonics are too large, the predetermined voltage value may not be reached within the specified time, resulting in precharging failure, which increases the possibility of failure to charge normally.

[0053] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] In the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0055] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0056] See also Figure 1 , which is a circuit diagram of a vehicle charger provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle charger comprises: a pre-charging resistor R, a main relay K, a PFC main power circuit 1, an LLC converter 2 and a capacitor C1, the first end of the main relay K and the pre-charging resistor R is used to access the AC side of the power grid, the second end of the main relay K and the pre-charging resistor R is connected to the first input end of the PFC main power circuit 1, the second input end of the PFC main power circuit 1 is used to access the AC side of the power grid, the first output end and the second output end of the PFC main power circuit 1 are respectively connected to the two ends of the capacitor C1; the first input end and the second input end of the LLC converter 2 are respectively connected to the two ends of the capacitor C1, and the first output end and the second output end of the LLC converter 2 are used to connect to the two ends of the output capacitor C2. Wherein, the capacitor C1 is a BULK capacitor.

[0057] It should be noted that the PFC main power circuit 1 and the LLC converter 2 belong to the prior art in this field and will not be described here in detail. As the front stage, the PFC main power circuit 1 can convert the AC voltage input from the AC side of the power grid into a stable high-voltage DC voltage, such as 400V, and then the LLC converter 2, as the back stage, converts the DC voltage into the DC voltage required by the output capacitor C2 (the vehicle's power battery), thereby realizing the charging of the power battery. A BULK capacitor is set between the PFC main power circuit 1 and the LLC converter 2. Before the on-board charger is started, the BULK capacitor is pre-charged to prevent the on-board charger from generating a large impact current when starting, thereby causing overcurrent protection of the on-board charger. After the pre-charging is completed, the BULK capacitor is started, the main relay K is closed, and the on-board charger performs power conversion to charge the power battery.

[0058] See also Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of a pre-charging detection method of an on-board charger provided by a first embodiment of the present invention, the pre-charging detection method of the on-board charger comprising:

[0059] S1: In response to a received charging instruction, collecting a first voltage on the AC side of the power grid;

[0060] The charging instruction may be issued by a mobile terminal, a remote control request of a vehicle, or issued by a charging pile after the vehicle is connected to the charging pile. After receiving the charging instruction, the on-board charger collects the grid voltage on the AC side of the grid through a voltage sampling circuit as the first voltage. The voltage sampling circuit belongs to the prior art in this field and is not specifically limited here.

[0061] S2: After the first set time is reached, collecting the second voltage of the capacitor;

[0062] S3: judging whether the capacitor is pre-charged according to the first voltage and the second voltage;

[0063] S4: when the capacitor has not completed pre-charging, after waiting for a second set time, collecting a third voltage of the capacitor;

[0064] S5: judging whether the capacitor is pre-charged according to the first voltage and the third voltage;

[0065] S6: When the capacitor is not pre-charged, reporting capacitor pre-charge failure information;

[0066] S7: When the capacitor is pre-charged, the main relay is closed to start the on-board charger.

[0067] It should be noted that the pre-charge detection method described in the embodiment of the present invention is executed by a control device, which can be a hardware controller with data processing function configured separately for the vehicle, or an integrated functional module in the vehicle controller VCU. The execution process and results of the control device can be displayed on the central control screen of the vehicle, or indirectly communicate and interact with the user's mobile terminal.

[0068] In an embodiment of the invention, after receiving the first set time of the charging instruction, it is initially determined whether the capacitor inside the on-board charger has completed pre-charging according to the second voltage across the capacitor inside the on-board charger and the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid; if the first-level determination shows that the capacitor has not completed pre-charging, the pre-charging continues, and when the second set time is reached after the first set time, it is determined again whether the capacitor inside the on-board charger has completed pre-charging according to the third voltage across the capacitor inside the on-board charger and the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid, thereby preventing the situation where the capacitor inside the on-board charger cannot be pre-charged when the first set time is reached due to power grid quality deviation and power grid harmonics causing the power grid peak to be low, thereby increasing the power grid conditions for the normal startup of the on-board charger, thereby increasing the probability that the on-board charger can be charged, and improving the user's charging experience. At the same time, the safety of the on-board charger can be guaranteed through the two-stage pre-charging judgment procedure.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, judging whether the capacitor has completed pre-charging according to the first voltage and the second voltage includes:

[0070] Calculating a first pre-charge threshold value according to the first voltage, a preset compensation value and a preset first voltage deviation value;

[0071] Further, according to formula (1), the first pre-charge threshold is calculated;

[0072] V1=V rms *kn (1)

[0073] Among them, V rms represents the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid, k represents a preset compensation value, and n represents a preset first voltage deviation value.

[0074] comparing the second voltage to the first precharge threshold;

[0075] When the second voltage is greater than the first pre-charging threshold, it is determined that the capacitor has completed pre-charging;

[0076] When the second voltage is less than or equal to the first pre-charging threshold, it is determined that the capacitor has not completed pre-charging.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, judging whether the capacitor has completed pre-charging according to the first voltage and the third voltage includes:

[0078] Calculating a second pre-charge threshold value according to the first voltage, a preset compensation value and a preset second voltage deviation value; wherein the second voltage deviation value is greater than the first voltage deviation value;

[0079] Further, according to formula (2), the second pre-charge threshold is calculated;

[0080] V2=V rms *km (2)

[0081] Among them, V rms represents the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid, k represents a preset compensation value, and m represents a preset second voltage deviation value.

[0082] comparing the third voltage with the second precharge threshold;

[0083] When the third voltage is greater than the second pre-charging threshold, it is determined that the capacitor has completed pre-charging;

[0084] When the third voltage is less than or equal to the second pre-charging threshold, it is determined that the capacitor has not completed pre-charging.

[0085] Exemplarily, the value range of the first set time is between 2s and 4s, and the value range of the second set time is between 8s and 10s. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first set time is set to 2s, and the second set time is set to 8s, that is, the first-level pre-charging judgment of step S3 is performed 2s after receiving the charging instruction. If it is judged that the pre-charging is not completed, the second-level pre-charging judgment of step S5 is performed after waiting for 8 seconds. If the pre-charging is not completed at the first level, a secondary judgment with an 8s delay is added, and the pre-charging judgment condition is reduced from the first pre-charging threshold to the second pre-charging threshold, so as to prevent the situation where the pre-charging cannot be completed within 2s due to poor grid quality, increase the grid conditions for the normal start-up of the on-board charger, increase the probability of charging, and improve the user's charging experience.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the first voltage deviation value is 30V, the second voltage deviation value is 50V, and the compensation value is 1.414.

[0087] It should be noted that the user can set the first voltage deviation value, the second voltage deviation value, and the compensation value to other values ​​according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0088] For example, Figure 3 As shown, after receiving the charging instruction, wait for 2 seconds and determine the second voltage Vbus2 >V rms *1.414-30V; if yes, close the relay, if no, wait for 8s and judge the third voltage V bus3 >V rms *1.414-50V; if yes, close the relay, if not, the on-board charger goes into fault mode and reports a capacitor pre-charge fault.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, when the capacitor is not pre-charged, after reporting the capacitor pre-charge failure information, the method further includes:

[0090] In response to the received capacitor pre-charging fault information, a fault light of the vehicle instrument is illuminated to indicate a charging fault.

[0091] Exemplarily, when the capacitor pre-charging inside the on-board charger fails and reports the capacitor pre-charging fault, the fault light of the vehicle instrument is turned on to prompt the user to perform a charging system test.

[0092] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the embodiment of the present invention is that: the on-board charger collects the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid when receiving the charging instruction; after the first set time of receiving the charging instruction, collects the second voltage across the capacitor inside the on-board charger, and initially judges whether the capacitor inside the on-board charger has completed pre-charging based on the second voltage and the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid; if the first stage judges that the capacitor has not completed pre-charging, then continue to pre-charge, and when the second set time is reached after the first set time, collect the third voltage across the capacitor inside the on-board charger, and judge again whether the capacitor inside the on-board charger has completed pre-charging based on the third voltage and the first voltage on the AC side of the power grid, thereby preventing the situation that the capacitor inside the on-board charger cannot be pre-charged when the first set time is reached due to power grid quality deviation and power grid harmonics. The power grid conditions for normal startup of the on-board charger are increased, thereby increasing the probability of the on-board charger being chargeable and improving the user's charging experience.
