Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery charging and discharging, and in particular relates to a main circuit technology for controlling the charging and discharging of a power battery matrix. Background Art
[0002] The charging speed, overall lifespan and safety of the battery matrix are key factors in the development of electric vehicles. Current charging piles can meet the fast charging needs of electric vehicles because they can provide large currents during operation. However, considering the rapid development of the electric vehicle market and the development prospects of green energy, the urban power supply network is unable to meet the needs of most electric vehicles to adopt such high-power charging piles. The current low-power charging method uses low-current and low-voltage charging, which has a slow charging speed and cannot meet people's demand for fast battery charging.
[0003] Although the performance of modern power battery matrices varies, their structures are basically the same. They are all composed of multiple single cells connected in series to form battery packs, and each battery pack is connected in parallel to form a battery matrix to increase the discharge voltage and current of the battery matrix. This fixed-connection battery matrix also brings many difficult-to-solve technical problems: 1. The charging voltage and charging current required for single cells when charging are not high. However, when multiple single cells are connected in series and parallel to form a power battery pack that can drive an electric vehicle for more than 600 kilometers, the required DC charging voltage is high and the current is very large. If you want to shorten the charging time, you need a higher voltage and current. The general AC power interface and small charger cannot meet the requirements of fast charging, and a high-power charging pile must be used; 2. After the performance of a single cell seriously deteriorates, this single cell will seriously drag down the overall performance of the battery pack; 3. Serious failure or loss of a single cell will drag down the safety performance of the entire battery pack and even the electrical equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar numbers throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below through the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0057] In the specific embodiment of scheme 1, N=4, X=15 is taken in scheme 1, that is, the battery pack main circuit includes 4 single cells and 15 switching devices, which constitute the battery pack charge and discharge main circuit, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, B1, B2, B3, and B4 are four single batteries, S11, S12, S21, S22, S31, S32, S41, S42, K1, K2, K3, K4, K11, K21, K31, and K41 are controllable power switches. During the charging process, all power switches are disconnected first. According to the test, if all batteries are intact and the charging power supply voltage can meet the charging needs of all batteries, the switches starting with K are all disconnected and the switches starting with S are all closed, forming B1, B2, B3, and B4, which are four batteries. Series charging circuit; if the charging power supply voltage can only charge two single batteries in series at the same time, then two batteries are connected in series through the power switch and connected to the charging power supply. After the above two batteries are charged, all power switches are turned off, and then some switches are closed to connect the other two batteries in series and connected to the charging power supply. Each two batteries connected in series are charged in turn. For example, S11, S12, S21, S22, K21, K3, and K4 are closed, and other power switches remain open. B1 and B2 are charged in series first. After B1 and B2 are charged, After the charging is completed, all switches are disconnected. Then, K1, K2, K21, S31, S32, S41, and S42 are closed, and the other switches remain disconnected to charge B3 and B4. If the charging voltage can only charge a certain single battery, the power switch is controlled to connect the certain battery to the charging power supply, and the other batteries are disconnected from the charging power supply. After one battery is fully charged, the power switch is controlled to disconnect the battery that has been charged and then connect another battery to be charged, so as to charge each single battery of the battery pack in turn. If one of the batteries is damaged, such as B 2 is damaged and cannot be used, then the two switches S21 and S22 are disconnected, and the other corresponding switches starting with the letter S are closed, K11, K2, and K21 are also closed, and the other power switches remain in the disconnected state. It is still possible to connect the three single cells B1, B3, and B4 in series, and the charging power supply charges these three single cells in series; the discharge process needs to select the battery and its connection method according to the needs of the load, and is achieved by controlling the state conversion of the power switch. The principle is the same as the main steps of the charging process and discharge process of the above scheme 1, which are not repeated here.
[0058] In the specific embodiment of Scheme 2, M=3, N=4, and X=44 are taken, which becomes a specific form of a battery matrix charge and discharge main circuit described in Scheme 2. The circuit includes 12 single cells and 44 switching devices, which can generally constitute a charge and discharge main circuit for three groups of batteries, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the battery matrix can be connected in such a way that B11, B12, B13, and B14 form a first group, B21, B22, B23, and B24 form a second group, and B31, B32, B33, and B34 form a third group, forming a battery matrix of three battery groups. If all batteries are intact and the charging power supply voltage and current can meet the charging needs of all batteries, then all switches beginning with K are disconnected and all switches beginning with S are closed. The batteries of each group are connected in series, and the groups are connected in parallel. The three battery groups are connected to the charging power supply at the same time. Depending on the power of the charging power supply, each battery group can also be controlled to be connected in sequence to charge each battery group in sequence. The battery group can be composed of more than the three specific battery groups mentioned above. The power switches can also be controlled as needed to select any single battery that can be connected in series, for example, B11, B22, B33, and B34 can be selected to form a battery group. There are many ways to connect the batteries, which are difficult to list exhaustively. If it is found that one of the batteries is damaged, for example, battery B22 is damaged and cannot be used, S221 and S222 are disconnected, so that the circuit where battery B22 is located is disconnected from other circuits, current no longer flows through this branch, and battery B22 no longer participates in the charging and discharging process. According to the needs of charging or discharging, K112, K12, and K122 can be closed, or K112, K12, K122, K211, K22, and K221 can be closed to bypass the branch where B22 is located. If needed, the branch where B22 is located can also not be bypassed; in the subsequent charging and discharging process, the main circuit cooperates with the control circuit to realize charging or discharging as needed. The battery selected and the connection method of the specific charging process are determined by the voltage and current provided by the power supply, while the battery and the connection method of the specific charging process need to be selected according to the needs of the load, and are realized by controlling the state conversion of the power switch. The principle is the same as the main steps of the charging process and discharging process of the above-mentioned scheme 2, which are not repeated here.
[0059] In the specific embodiment of Scheme 3, M=3, N=4, X=56, and T=3 are used to realize the main circuit of Scheme 3. The battery matrix includes 12 single cells, 56 switching devices, and 3 adjustable resistors. During the charging and discharging process, the connection of the battery pack is basically the same as that of Scheme 2, generally forming a charging and discharging circuit of three groups of batteries, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6As shown, B11, B12, B13, B14 are the first group, B21, B22, B23, B24 are the second group, and B31, B32, B33, B34 are the third group, forming a battery matrix of three battery groups. All power switching devices are in the disconnected state: if all batteries are intact and the charging power supply voltage and current can meet the charging needs of all batteries, then K101, K102, K201, K202 and K10 are closed, and all other switches starting with K are disconnected, S101, S102, S201, S202, S301, S301 are disconnected, and all other switches starting with S are closed, so that the batteries of the three groups are connected in series, each group is connected in parallel, and the three groups are connected in parallel. The batteries are connected to the charging power supply at the same time, and the adjustable resistor is not connected to the charging circuit; if one battery in a group is damaged and you want to charge it as quickly as possible, you can disconnect and bypass the damaged battery, and then connect the adjustable resistor in series to the series circuit of this battery pack to make the resistance of each parallel branch equal, so as to achieve fast charging and reduce the circulating current. For example, in the three battery packs connected above, B22 is damaged, S221, S222, S101, S102, S301, and S302 are disconnected, and the other switches marked with S are closed, K10, K101, K211, K221, K22, K202, and K20 are closed, and the other switches marked with K are disconnected, so as to disconnect B22 from the second battery pack and The bypass is then connected in series with an adjustable resistor R2, and all batteries are charged at a similar speed at the same time; during the discharge process, the battery and its connection method can be selected according to the needs of the load by switching the state of the switch to realize power supply to the load; if a battery is found to be damaged during the discharge preparation, for example, battery B22 is damaged and cannot be used, the two switches S221 and S222 are disconnected, so that the circuit where battery B22 is located is disconnected from other circuits, and the current no longer flows through this branch, and battery B22 no longer participates in the charging and discharging process. In the subsequent charging and discharging process, K112, K12, and K122 can be closed, or K112, K12, K122, K211, K22, and K221 can be closed as needed. The branch where B22 is located is now bypassed, so that the other series-connected batteries originally connected in series with B22 remain in series. If the terminal voltages of the branches connected in parallel need to be different, adjustable resistors can be added in series to each series branch for appropriate adjustment to make the terminal voltages of the battery group branches connected in parallel similar or the same. Then, the series-connected battery group branches with adjustable resistors can be connected in parallel to form a battery matrix to supply power externally. After forming multiple battery groups, if the battery groups are to be connected in parallel, during the charging process, the different number of batteries in each parallel battery group will cause different resistances in the parallel branches, resulting in different charging speeds for the battery groups charged simultaneously. If the charging speeds of the groups need to be the same, adjustable resistors can be added in series to the branches with smaller resistance as described above.During the discharge process, the terminal voltages of the parallel battery packs are different, which will cause circulating currents between the battery packs. In this case, by inserting an adjustable resistor in series with the battery pack with the higher terminal voltage, the terminal voltages of the series branches can be made similar or the same, thereby reducing or even eliminating the circulating current. The battery packs together with the adjustable resistor form a controllable balanced grid-shaped battery matrix main circuit to supply power to the outside. This main circuit cooperates with the control circuit to realize charging or discharging, and the circulating current is relatively small. The state of the power switch in the specific charging process is determined by the voltage and current provided by the power supply, while the discharge process requires the selection of the battery, adjustable resistor and their connection method according to the needs of the load, and is achieved by controlling the state transition of the power switch. This method is very flexible and the principle is the same as the main steps of the charging and discharging process in the above scheme 3, which will not be repeated here.
[0060] Beneficial effects
[0061] 1. The main circuit for charging and discharging the power battery proposed in the present invention can provide a wide range of voltage and current charging in conjunction with the corresponding control circuit according to the power supply conditions: when the power supply voltage is low, a smaller number of batteries are selected to be connected in series for charging; when the power supply voltage is high, a larger number of batteries can be selected to be connected in series for charging; when the power supply current is small, a smaller number of batteries are selected to be connected in parallel for charging; when the power supply current is large, a larger number of batteries are selected to be connected in parallel for charging; when the voltage and current are low, each single battery can be charged in sequence, so that the power battery can be charged using a small power supply, for example, using solar cells to charge the power batteries in sequence.
[0062] 2. The main circuit for charging and discharging the power battery proposed in the present invention can extend the life of the battery pack. If a battery is found to have degraded or damaged through detection, the battery can be removed from the charging and discharging circuit by controlling the on and off of a high-power switch, so that the performance degradation and damage of a single battery will not seriously affect the performance of the entire battery pack.
[0063] 3. The main circuit for charging and discharging the power battery proposed in the present invention can improve the safety performance of the object powered by the battery pack. When a battery is severely impacted and suffers a serious fault or explosion hazard, the battery can be cut off from the charging and discharging circuit by controlling the on and off of a high-power switch. When a single cell seriously fails or explodes, the discharge current of the battery pack no longer flows through the faulty cell, thereby limiting the scope and extent of the fault or hazard and improving the safety of the object powered by the battery pack.
[0064] 4. The main circuit for charging and discharging the power battery proposed in this invention can cooperate with the intelligent power supply to provide efficient and precise charging for different connection methods of different numbers of single cells. For example, after conventional charging is completed, if only a small number of single cells remain to be charged, the output voltage and current of the intelligent power supply can be adjusted according to the appropriate connection matching of the number of batteries to be charged, achieving efficient and precise charging.
