[0044] The embodiments will be described in detail below, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present application. They are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application detailed in the claims. In several embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the disclosed devices and methods can also be implemented in other ways. The device embodiments described below are merely exemplary.

[0045] A vehicle power battery thermal management method provided by the present application, as Figure 1 shown, includes:

[0046] Step S110: In response to a vehicle charging start instruction, based on the charging type information of the vehicle's power battery, determine the charging temperature range of the vehicle's power battery, where the charging temperature range is the ambient temperature required by the power battery under the charging type.

[0047] Exemplarily, the charging type of the power battery can be set by the driver independently and automatically started by the vehicle during each charging process, can be determined based on the basic information of the charging pile, or can be determined based on the vehicle's battery management system. Based on the charging type of the vehicle's power battery, the temperature change law during the power battery charging process can be determined, and based on the temperature change law, the charging temperature range of the vehicle's power battery can be determined. For example, when the charging type is super fast charging with a charging current of 400A, based on the super fast charging type, the charging temperature range of the vehicle's power battery is determined to be 15 - 25°C.

[0048] Step S120: Obtain the current temperature information of the vehicle's power battery.

[0049] Exemplarily, the current temperature information of the power battery of the vehicle can be obtained through the battery management system of the vehicle, can be obtained through the temperature sensor arranged on the power battery, or can be obtained through the temperature sensor arranged around the power battery. Based on the positional relationship between the sensor and the power battery, the current temperature information of the power battery of the vehicle is obtained.

[0050] Step S130: Obtain the first current power information of the power battery of the vehicle when it is in a normal charging state.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first current power information of the power battery of the vehicle when it is in a normal charging state can be obtained through the battery management system of the vehicle.

[0052] Step S140: When it is determined that the first current power information of the power battery is greater than or equal to the target power information and the current temperature information of the power battery is within the charging temperature range, reduce the power of the high-power temperature stabilization device in the vehicle and control the activation of the temperature stabilization water pump of the vehicle.

[0053] Exemplarily, the high-power temperature stabilization device in the vehicle and the temperature stabilization water pump of the vehicle can be controlled through the controller of the vehicle.

[0054] According to some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0055] Obtain the second current power information of the power battery when it is not in a charging state;

[0056] Obtain the historical charging information of the power battery;

[0057] Based on the historical charging information of the power battery, determine the historical maximum charging power of the power battery;

[0058] When the second current power of the power battery is equal to the historical maximum charging power of the power battery and the vehicle has not received the charging start instruction, control the temperature of the power battery based on the charging temperature range.

[0059] Exemplarily, the second current power information and the historical charging information of the power battery of the vehicle when it is not in a charging state can be obtained through the battery management system of the vehicle, where the historical charging information may include the remaining power information of the power battery at the moment before charging.

[0060] Based on the historical charging information of the power battery, the start time for early temperature stabilization can be automatically determined. When the vehicle does not receive a charging start command, the temperature of the power battery can be controlled within the above-mentioned charging temperature range, enabling the temperature of the power battery to be pre-controlled before charging. After the power battery is connected to the power supply, charging of the power battery can be directly carried out, reducing the charging waiting time and improving the charging efficiency and applicability.

[0061] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned target power information is power information determined based on the type information of the above-mentioned power battery and the charging type information of the above-mentioned power battery.

[0062] Exemplarily, the maximum charging temperature of the power battery can be determined through the type information of the above-mentioned power battery. The type information and charging type information of the power battery can be obtained through the vehicle's battery management system. The charging speed and the temperature change law during the charging process of the above-mentioned power battery under the above-mentioned charging type can be determined through the type information and charging type information of the power battery. Based on the above-mentioned charging speed and temperature change law, the power corresponding to the situation where the temperature of the above-mentioned power battery does not exceed the above-mentioned maximum charging temperature when charging the above-mentioned power battery of the above-mentioned type starting from a certain power and reaching full charge is the above-mentioned target power information. Additionally, the historical charging information of the power battery can be obtained through the vehicle's battery management system, and the above-mentioned target power information can be determined based on the above-mentioned historical charging information.

[0063] By determining the target power information, the power of the high-power temperature stabilization device in the vehicle and the start time of the temperature stabilization water pump in the vehicle can be determined. By changing the control strategy at the above-mentioned time, the power consumption of the power battery can be saved, the charging time can be shortened, and the service life of the battery can be extended while ensuring normal charging of the power battery.

[0064] According to some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0065] Based on the charging type information of the above-mentioned power battery and the above-mentioned target power information, the preset end charging time of the above-mentioned power battery is determined, where the preset end charging time is the charging time required for the above-mentioned power battery to be fully charged when the first current power information of the above-mentioned power battery is equal to the above-mentioned target power information;

[0066] Based on the preset end charging time of the above-mentioned power battery, the power of the high-power temperature stabilization device in the above-mentioned vehicle is reduced, and the start of the temperature stabilization water pump in the above-mentioned vehicle is controlled.

[0067] Exemplarily, based on the charging type information of the above power battery, the relationship between the charging amount and the charging time of the power battery can be determined. When the first current power information of the above power battery is equal to the above target power information, based on the relationship between the charging amount and the charging time of the power battery and the target power, the preset end charging time of the above power battery can be determined.

[0068] At the above preset end charging time, changing the charging strategy can save the power consumption of the power battery, shorten the charging time, and extend the service life of the battery while ensuring the normal charging of the power battery.

[0069] According to some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0070] Obtain the voltage information of the lead-acid battery of the above vehicle;

[0071] Based on the type of the above lead-acid battery, determine the preset voltage of the above lead-acid battery;

[0072] When the voltage of the above lead-acid battery is less than the above preset voltage, maintain the power of the high-power temperature stabilization device in the above vehicle and control the shutdown of the temperature stabilization water pump of the above vehicle.

[0073] Exemplarily, the voltage information of the above lead-acid battery can be obtained through the controller of the lead-acid battery. Based on the type of the lead-acid battery, the discharged voltage of the lead-acid battery can be obtained. Based on the above discharged voltage, it can be determined that the above discharged voltage is the preset voltage of the lead-acid battery. Or based on the type of the lead-acid battery, the redundancy value of the discharged voltage can be determined. Based on the above discharged voltage and the redundancy value of the discharged voltage, the preset voltage of the above lead-acid battery can be determined.

[0074] When the voltage of the lead-acid battery is lower than the preset voltage, the lead-acid battery will be discharged. Continuing to use the lead-acid battery for power supply in the discharged state is likely to damage the battery and affect its service life.

[0075] According to some embodiments, the high-power temperature stabilization device in the above vehicle includes the compressor of the above vehicle and the PTC heater of the above vehicle;

[0076] After the step of, in response to the vehicle charging start instruction, determining the charging temperature range of the power battery of the above vehicle based on the charging type information of the power battery of the above vehicle, it further includes:

[0077] Obtain the passenger compartment demand information of the above vehicle;

[0078] Based on the above-mentioned occupant compartment requirement information, the current temperature of the above-mentioned power battery, and the charging temperature range of the above-mentioned power battery, adjust the distribution ratio of the refrigerant of the above-mentioned vehicle between the air-conditioning system of the above-mentioned vehicle and the battery cooling plate and / or the coolant of the above-mentioned vehicle between the coolant tank of the above-mentioned vehicle and the battery cooling plate;

[0079] In the case where it is determined that the first current power information of the above-mentioned power battery is greater than or equal to the target power information and the current temperature information of the power battery is within the above-mentioned charging temperature range, reduce the power of the high-power temperature stabilization equipment in the above-mentioned vehicle, including:

[0080] When the high-power temperature stabilization equipment in the above-mentioned vehicle is in the heating state, reduce the distribution ratio of the refrigerant and / or the coolant at the above-mentioned battery cooling plate;

[0081] When the high-power temperature stabilization equipment in the above-mentioned vehicle is in the temperature reduction state, reduce the distribution ratio of the refrigerant at the above-mentioned battery cooling plate.

[0082] Exemplarily, the temperature requirement information of the vehicle occupant compartment can be obtained through the vehicle's on-board management system. Among them, the above-mentioned temperature requirement information can include the temperature information of the vehicle air-conditioning system. By setting control valves between the air-conditioning compressor of the vehicle and the battery cooling plate and between the coolant tank of the vehicle and the battery cooling plate, the flow rate of the refrigerant and the coolant can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the above-mentioned valves or by the area, and the above-mentioned distribution ratios can also be controlled. When there is a demand for using the air-conditioning system in the vehicle occupant compartment, the refrigerant and / or the coolant can be preferentially provided for the occupant compartment.

[0083] For example, when the power battery is in the state of super fast charging, the obtained charging temperature range of the power battery is 15 - 25°C, and the current temperature of the power battery is 36°C, which is higher than the highest temperature of 25°C in the charging temperature range of the power battery. The preset voltage of the lead-acid battery is 10V, and the vehicle occupant compartment does not use air-conditioning for refrigeration. The temperature of the refrigerant is controlled at 15°C through the vehicle's air-conditioning compressor, and all the refrigerant of the vehicle is distributed to the battery cooling plate. By controlling the valve, the flow rate of the refrigerant reaches 20L / min. Based on the preset end charging time, the temperature of the power battery at this time is obtained as 15°C, and the voltage of the lead-acid battery at this time is obtained as 12V, which is higher than the preset voltage. It is determined that the lead-acid battery can operate normally, and then the temperature stabilization water pump of the vehicle is controlled to be turned on until the charging is completed.

[0084] According to some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0085] Based on the type information of the above-mentioned power battery, determine the temperature threshold of the above-mentioned power battery;

[0086] When the temperature of the above power battery is greater than or equal to the above temperature threshold, control all of the above refrigerant to be distributed to the above battery cooling plate.

[0087] Exemplarily, the temperature threshold of the above power battery may not be within the above charging temperature range. When the temperature of the above power battery is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, an alarm message may be sent to the vehicle through the vehicle's on-board management system.

[0088] For example, based on the type information of the power battery, the temperature threshold of the power battery can be determined to be 35°C. When it is detected that the temperature of the power battery at this time is 35°C, and it is detected that the vehicle occupant compartment is being cooled by the air conditioner, at this time, control the vehicle's on-board management system to turn off the air-conditioning cooling in the occupant compartment, control the temperature of the refrigerant by the vehicle's air-conditioning compressor to be 5°C, and distribute all of the vehicle's refrigerant to the battery cooling plate. By controlling the valve, the refrigerant flow rate reaches 20 L / min.

[0089] When the temperature of the above power battery is greater than or equal to the above temperature threshold, even if the vehicle occupant compartment has a temperature requirement, all of the refrigerant will be distributed to the above battery cooling plate, which can improve the safety during the charging process, ensure the stable operation of the battery, and extend the service life of the battery.
