Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a power battery plug-in gun thermal insulation control system, method and vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] With the increasingly severe environmental and energy crises, new energy vehicles have become an irreversible trend in future development, with pure electric vehicles being the ultimate development direction. As a core component of pure electric vehicles, the performance of power batteries will seriously affect the technical level of the entire vehicle. Just as traditional fuel vehicles require continuous refueling to replenish energy, electric vehicles require continuous charging of power batteries. However, the charging efficiency of batteries at low or high temperatures is often very low. To improve charging efficiency, if the battery can be insulated before charging, keeping the battery temperature within the temperature range most suitable for charging, the charging efficiency will be greatly improved. Therefore, research on thermal insulation control methods and devices for power batteries has become a key technology in the development of electric vehicles.

[0003] With the continuous development of new energy vehicles, the demand for battery insulation in cold winters and hot summers is increasing to improve battery efficiency, leading to a growing variety of insulation modes and methods. To prevent interruptions in the insulation function due to abnormal charging termination, temperature fluctuations, signal loss, and abnormal wake-up during sleep, and to avoid frequent switching of the insulation function after charging is complete due to changes in user-defined SOC or battery power loss caused by vehicle power consumption, the charging state may switch back and forth frequently, thus affecting the activation of the insulation function.

[0056] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling the thermal insulation of a power battery plug gun is provided, which is applied to the thermal insulation control system for the power battery plug gun described in the first aspect, comprising:

[0061] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, comprising a vehicle body and a power battery plug-in heat preservation control system according to the second aspect.

[0062] According to a fourth aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided. When instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor of a terminal, the terminal is enabled to execute the method described in the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] According to a fifth aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, an application product is provided. When the application product is running on a terminal, the terminal executes the method described in the second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] This patent provides a power battery plug-in heat preservation control system, method, vehicle and medium, with the following beneficial effects:

[0065] (1) The number of activations for the battery heat preservation or cooling function is limited. This number of activations is related to whether the vehicle receives the battery heat preservation or cooling command, whether the vehicle ignition switch is turned on, the charging gun is unplugged, and whether the vehicle meets the heat preservation activation conditions after waking up from sleep mode. This ensures that meaningless heat preservation operations are not performed when the vehicle frequently wakes up from sleep mode, thus saving energy. The battery heat preservation function has a lower priority than the AC charging priority. If the BMS determines that the SOC has not reached full charge or has not reached the SOC value set by the user, it will charge or charge and heat without entering the heat preservation mode.

[0066] (2) This patent limits the power battery's heat preservation wake-up time. This time will be updated in real time based on the ambient temperature, the number of activations of the plug-in heat preservation function, and the vehicle's sleep and wake-up state, so as not to affect the battery's entry into the plug-in heat preservation or heating process, nor will it affect the interruption of the battery's heat preservation heating or heat preservation cooling state. Since it is impossible to distinguish the wake-up source, it is impossible to limit the number of function activations. It is necessary to ensure that the number of normal function activations does not exceed a certain number. This can effectively avoid frequent battery heat preservation after the vehicle frequently wakes up from sleep, thus saving energy. The activation of this strategy can be controlled by setting a calibration quantity to turn the function on and off.

[0067] (3) During the function on period, after the BMS is awakened, if it receives a T-BOX insulation request, it will be controlled according to the requested working condition threshold; if it does not receive a T-BOX insulation request, it will not be kept warm and only the wake-up time will be calculated.

[0068] (4) When the battery does not need to be charged, an anti-floating charge strategy is added. This strategy will directly start the temperature judgment of the insulation function to avoid frequent switching of the battery insulation state, thereby more intelligently controlling the insulation heating or insulation cooling state of the battery.

[0069] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0074] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] Figure 1 This is a block diagram of a power battery plug-in insulation control system according to an exemplary embodiment. The system includes a battery management system, a T-BOX, a vehicle control unit, and a high-voltage control unit. The battery management system is electrically connected to the T-BOX and the vehicle control unit, respectively, and the vehicle control unit is electrically connected to the high-voltage control unit. The following details the workings of each of these components and how they work together.

[0077] The battery management system is used to obtain the vehicle wake-up status, charging gun connection status, insulation function activation times, power battery heating status information, power battery charging status information, and current power battery temperature before the vehicle is powered off or enters sleep mode to determine whether the power battery meets the conditions for activating the insulation function. The specific contents are as follows:

[0078] Determine whether the charging gun is connected based on the charging gun connection status:

[0079] Yes, proceed to the next step;

[0080] No, exit and determine whether the power battery has the conditions to enable the insulation function;

[0081] Determine whether the number of activations of the keep warm function is less than or equal to the limited number of activations:

[0082] Yes, proceed to the next step;

[0083] No, exit the process of judging whether the power battery meets the conditions for starting the thermal insulation function (or re-judge);

[0084] Determine whether the current power battery temperature is within the insulation limit range:

[0085] Yes, proceed to the next step;

[0086] No, no insulation is required;

[0087] Determine whether the battery is in the heating state based on the power battery heating status information:

[0088] If yes, the power battery will be heated first, and the judgment will be made after the heating is completed;

[0089] If no, proceed to the next step;

[0090] Determine whether the power battery is in a charging state according to the power battery charging state information:

[0091] If yes, the power battery will be charged first, and the judgment will be made after the charging is completed;

[0092] Determine whether the current power battery temperature is lower than the minimum value of the thermal insulation limit range:

[0093] Yes, the power battery meets the entry conditions for thermal insulation and heating;

[0094] No, the power battery meets the entry conditions for thermal insulation and cooling.

[0095] The above-mentioned limited activation times are 3 times, and the insulation function activation times are when the battery management system receives the insulation instruction from the T-BOX and determines that the conditions for entering the battery insulation function are met, and then sends a battery insulation request signal to the vehicle control unit, and the activation times are increased by 1. In other words, when the battery management system turns on the insulation function and the temperature reaches the required temperature, it will clear the battery insulation request and count the activation times of the insulation function as one. After the function exits, the system goes into hibernation, which means that the insulation function has completed one activation. However, in a single ignition cycle, the activation times will accumulate until the limited number is reached and it will no longer respond; when the vehicle power status changes from OFF to ON, the function activation times are cleared; when the charging gun is unplugged, the function activation times are cleared. When the vehicle power status changes from ON to OFF, the function activation times are counted again.

[0096] When the conditions for enabling the keep warm function are met, the ambient temperature is obtained, and the keep warm wake-up timer is determined based on the ambient temperature and the current power battery temperature. This timer is sent to the T-BOX, and the T-BOX enters the normal sleep process. The specific steps for determining the keep warm wake-up timer based on the ambient temperature and the current power battery temperature are as follows:

[0097] After determining that the battery meets the entry conditions of the insulation function, if the battery pack is in other time periods before sleep, or the ambient temperature and battery temperature signals are invalid, the insulation wake-up time will send an invalid value; if the vehicle power status changes from OFF to ON during the vehicle wake-up timing, the timing will be stopped and the relevant status will be cleared; if the vehicle is awakened during the vehicle wake-up timing and a new timing duration signal is received, the timing will be restarted according to the new duration signal. Determine whether the ambient temperature is between 10-35℃ based on the obtained ambient temperature:

[0098] Yes, the keep warm wake-up timer is 12 hours;

[0099] No, obtain the temperature change rate, and interpolate and look up the table based on the temperature change rate, the current power battery temperature, and the ambient temperature to determine the warm-keeping wake-up time.

[0100] The battery cooling wake-up time is determined by the difference between the lowest temperature and the ambient temperature; the battery heating wake-up time is determined by the difference between the highest temperature and the ambient temperature.

[0101] After receiving the thermal insulation wake-up timer, T-BOX starts counting down. When the time is reached, it sends a vehicle wake-up command and a battery thermal insulation command to the vehicle control unit and battery management system.

[0102] The battery management system receives the power battery insulation instruction and obtains the current power battery SOC value to determine whether the conditions for entering insulation are met. The specific steps are as follows:

[0103] If the default SOC value of a fully charged battery is X%, where X is a user-defined SOC or the system's default fully charged SOC value, and the vehicle is awakened and the insulation function is enabled, and the charging gun is fully connected, to prevent frequent floating charges on the battery, obtain the current power battery SOC value to determine whether it is ≥ (X-5)%:

[0104] If yes, the power battery meets the conditions for entering the heat preservation stage, and a power battery heat preservation request is sent to the vehicle control unit;

[0105] If no, the power battery is charged first, and the judgment is made after the charging is completed;

[0106] The vehicle control unit receives the power battery insulation request and sends a power-on command to the high-voltage control unit. The high-voltage control unit receives the power-on command and performs the power-on operation. The battery management system receives the power battery insulation request issued by the vehicle control unit and turns on the insulation function.

[0107] After the battery management system turns on the insulation function, obtain the battery insulation instruction sent by the vehicle controller to see if it is not allowed:

[0108] Yes, control the power battery heat preservation function to exit;

[0109] If no, proceed to the next step;

[0110] Get the charging gun connection status to determine whether it is disconnected or abnormally connected:

[0111] Yes, control the power battery heat preservation function to exit;

[0112] No, continue to execute the power battery insulation function;

[0113] Get the current power battery temperature and determine whether it has reached the limit for thermal insulation heating or thermal insulation cooling shutdown:

[0114] Yes, control the power battery heat preservation function to exit;

[0115] If no, proceed to the next step;

[0116] Get the duration of the heat preservation function and check whether it is greater than 2 hours:

[0117] If yes, the power battery heat preservation function is controlled to exit;

[0118] No, continue to execute the power battery insulation function.

[0119] Example 2

[0120] Figure 2This is a flow chart of a method for controlling the thermal insulation of a power battery plug gun according to an exemplary embodiment, which is used in a battery management system of a power battery plug gun thermal insulation control system. The method includes the following steps:

[0121] Step 101: Before the vehicle is powered off and enters sleep mode, the vehicle wake-up status, charging gun connection status, number of activations of the keep-warm function, power battery heating status information, power battery charging status information, and current power battery temperature are obtained to determine whether the power battery meets the conditions for activating the keep-warm function.

[0122] Step 102: If yes, obtain the ambient temperature, determine the warm-keeping wake-up timer based on the ambient temperature and the current power battery temperature, and send it to the T-BOX before entering the normal sleep process;

[0123] Step 103: upon receiving the power battery heat preservation instruction sent by the T-BOX and obtaining the current power battery SOC value, determine whether the heat preservation condition is met;

[0124] Step 104: If yes, a power battery insulation request is sent to the vehicle control unit. When the vehicle control unit receives the power battery insulation request, the insulation function is turned on.

[0125] The present invention proposes a control method for heat preservation of an electric vehicle's power battery plug-in. Under the premise that the charging plug is connected and the power battery is not in need of charging, during the current power-on cycle, the heat preservation wake-up time is calculated by determining the battery temperature and the number of activations of the heat preservation function, and the power battery is controlled to execute the heat preservation heating or heat preservation cooling function. By limiting the number of activations of the battery heat preservation heating or heat preservation cooling function, which is related to whether the vehicle receives a battery heat preservation or cooling instruction, the activation of the vehicle's ignition switch, the removal of the charging plug-in, and whether the vehicle meets the heat preservation activation conditions after waking from sleep, this method ensures that meaningless heat preservation operations are not executed when the vehicle frequently wakes from sleep, thus saving energy. At the same time, the heat preservation wake-up time of the power battery is limited and updated in real time based on the ambient temperature, the number of activations of the heat preservation function of the plug-in, and the sleep-wake-up state of the vehicle. This does not affect the battery's entry into the heat preservation or heating process, nor does it affect the interruption of the battery's heat preservation heating or cooling state. In addition, when the battery does not need to be charged, the control method mentioned in the present invention adds an anti-floating charge strategy, which will directly start the temperature judgment of the insulation function to avoid frequent switching back and forth of the battery insulation state, thereby more intelligently controlling the battery insulation heating or insulation cooling state.
