[0041] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a control method of a battery cooling system and an air conditioning all-in-one machine provided by an embodiment of the present application;
[0042] Figure 2 is an electrical architecture schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application;
[0043] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a control method of a battery cooling system and an air conditioning all-in-one machine provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] The current electric bus includes pure electric, hybrid, fuel cell and other buses, which are respectively provided with a battery cooling system and an air conditioner. The battery cooling system is used to cool the battery cells when the temperature of the battery cells is increased to a certain threshold, so as to reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the battery and improve the safety performance of the power battery. The air conditioning system is used to cool the driver and passenger area. The battery cooling system and the air conditioning system are generally two independent parts or systems.
[0045] In the battery cooling and air conditioning all-in-one machine, the battery thermal management and the air conditioner are integrated into an all-in-one machine, which can realize the functions of battery thermal management and air conditioning at the same time, not only reducing the installation space of the whole vehicle, but also saving energy and reducing cost.
[0046] The battery cooling and air conditioning all-in-one machine is generally a high-voltage device, which uses the high voltage on the new energy vehicle as the energy source. The high voltage system of the new energy bus is generally 450-750VDC. At the same time, a low-voltage power supply system is also needed to assist the work, and the low-voltage system of the new energy bus is generally 24V, which is provided by the low-voltage storage battery. The all-in-one machine needs to be provided with a set of high-voltage power supply and low-voltage auxiliary power supply to maintain the system work.
[0047] The high-voltage power supply of the battery cooling and air conditioning all-in-one machine is connected after the pre-charging circuit of the whole vehicle, which is generally provided by the high-voltage power distribution cabinet of the whole vehicle. This results in that the all-in-one machine must be powered on the pre-charging circuit to obtain the high-voltage power supply, that is, only after the pre-charging power-on, the all-in-one machine has the high-voltage power supply. If the all-in-one machine needs to work and cool the power battery when the whole vehicle is charging, the main circuit of the whole vehicle needs to be powered on in addition to the charging circuit, and most of the loads of the whole vehicle are powered on with high voltage. The whole vehicle has high voltage in many parts, such as motor controller, steering motor controller, etc. From the safety of high-voltage power supply, this method has certain safety hazards.
[0048] For the low-voltage power supply of the battery cooling and air conditioner all-in-one machine, the low-voltage power supply of the all-in-one machine is usually connected after the low-voltage power supply master switch of the whole vehicle. Only when the power supply master switch is turned on, the battery cooling and air conditioner all-in-one machine has low-voltage power supply input and has the preliminary condition for work. However, when this way is adopted, many bus companies require that the whole vehicle should be able to charge even if the low-voltage power supply master switch is turned off, because the charging of the whole vehicle is usually performed at night. If the large gate is opened for charging, no one will turn off the large gate in time after the charging is completed, and the static current of the whole vehicle part is consumed. If the time is long enough, the static current will cause the battery to be discharged. If the battery can be charged without opening the large gate, the static current of the whole vehicle is very small after the battery is charged, and the battery will not be discharged. Turning off the power supply master switch means that the battery cooling and air conditioner all-in-one machine has no low-voltage power supply input, so the all-in-one machine cannot work during the charging process with the power supply master switch turned off, and the cooling system cannot cool the power battery. Therefore, the electrical architecture has certain defects.
[0049] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, by changing the position of the battery cooling and air conditioner all-in-one machine in the electrical architecture, a new electrical architecture is proposed, the source of high-voltage power supply and low-voltage power supply of the all-in-one machine is changed, and the cooling system of the all-in-one machine can work to cool the battery during the battery plug-in charging without opening the power supply master switch, thereby solving the problem that the all-in-one machine cannot work during the charging process with the power supply master switch turned off.
[0050] In addition, during the working process of the cooling system of the all-in-one machine, the air conditioner does not work, which prevents the air conditioner from being turned on by mistake during the charging process. That is to say, although the all-in-one machine is integrated with the cooling system and the air conditioner, under the electrical architecture designed in the embodiment, precise control and interlocking protection can be achieved, and the functions of the cooling system and the air conditioner can be started when needed.
[0051] The electrical architecture provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0052] The electrical system of the battery cooling system and the air conditioner all-in-one machine provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the all-in-one machine, a battery distribution unit (BDU), a power battery, a charging seat and a charging gun.

[0064] The first relay functions as a main circuit negative contactor. The second relay is a relay for the all-in-one machine. The third relay is a relay for the operation of the DC / DC, and these relays function as switches in the circuit, and the closing and opening of the relays are controlled by the BMS.
[0065] In some embodiments, the BMS is further configured to control the third relay to be opened to cut off the high-voltage power supply of the DC / DC in response to the charging gun ending charging.
[0066] In some embodiments, the BDU further comprises a fourth relay, and the charging seat is connected to the BDU through the fourth relay;
[0067] The BMS is further configured to control the fourth relay to close in response to the charging gun starting charging, so that the DC / DC obtains the low-voltage power supply A+.
[0068] In some embodiments, the BMS is further configured to control the fourth relay to open in response to the charging gun ending charging, so as to cut off the charging and cut off the low-voltage power supply A+ of the DC / DC.
[0069] In some embodiments, the all-in-one machine is further configured to refuse to respond to a working instruction for an air conditioner in the all-in-one machine if a high-voltage preparation instruction is not received, and allow the working instruction for the air conditioner in the all-in-one machine if the high-voltage preparation instruction is received, the high-voltage preparation instruction indicating that the pre-charging circuit has been charged to high voltage.
[0070] The method flow of the embodiment of the application is described below.
[0071] The control method of the battery cooling system and the all-in-one machine of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the flowchart. Figure 1 The method shown in the flowchart comprises the following steps S101 to S103. Figure 1

[0074] In step S103, the all-in-one machine runs a battery cooling system in the all-in-one machine based on the high-voltage power supply and the low-voltage auxiliary power supply, to cool the power battery.
[0075] In some embodiments, after the battery cooling system in the all-in-one machine is run, the method further comprises:
[0076] If a high-voltage preparation instruction is not received, the all-in-one machine refuses to respond to a working instruction for an air conditioner in the all-in-one machine;
[0077] If the high-voltage preparation instruction is received, the all-in-one machine allows the working instruction for the air conditioner in the all-in-one machine, the high-voltage preparation instruction indicating that the pre-charging circuit has been charged to high voltage.
[0078] In some embodiments, after the battery cooling system in the all-in-one machine is run, the method further comprises:
[0079] In response to the temperature of the power battery being lower than a threshold value, the BMS controls the second relay to open, so as to cut off the high-voltage power supply of the all-in-one machine.
[0080] In some embodiments, before the DC / DC provides the low-voltage auxiliary power for the all-in-one machine, the method further comprises:
[0081] In response to the charging gun starting charging, if the temperature of the power battery during the charging process is higher than the threshold value, the BMS controls the third relay to be closed, so that the DC / DC obtains the high-voltage power supply.
[0082] In some embodiments, after the battery cooling system in the all-in-one machine is run, the method further comprises:
[0083] In response to the charging gun ending charging, the BMS controls the third relay to be disconnected, so as to cut off the high-voltage power supply of the DC / DC.
[0084] In some embodiments, before the DC / DC provides the low-voltage auxiliary power for the all-in-one machine, the method further comprises:
[0085] In response to the charging gun starting charging, the BMS controls the fourth relay to be closed, so that the DC / DC obtains the low-voltage power supply A+.
[0086] In some embodiments, after the battery cooling system in the all-in-one machine is run, the method further comprises:
[0087] In response to the charging gun ending charging, the BMS controls the fourth relay to be disconnected, so as to cut off the charging and cut off the low-voltage power supply A+ of the DC / DC.
[0088] The above embodiments are illustrated below in combination with an example.
[0089] The relay KM1 in the following example is an example of the first relay in the above embodiments, the relay KM2 in the following example is an example of the second relay in the above embodiments, the relay KM3 in the following example is an example of the third relay in the above embodiments, the relay KM4 in the following example is an example of the fourth relay in the above embodiments, and the ready instruction in the following example is an example of the high-voltage preparation instruction in the above embodiments.
[0090] The following example is an example of the above embodiments. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an electrical architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application, as shown in the following figure: Figure 2 The electrical architecture includes a power battery 11, a BDU 12, a battery cooling and air conditioning all-in-one machine 13, a charging seat 14, and a vehicle power system load circuit 15.
[0091] The BDU 12 includes a DC / DC 121, a BMS 122, a relay KM1, a relay KM2, a relay KM3, and a relay KM4.
[0092] The vehicle power system load circuit 15 includes pre-charging and power distribution 151, modules and controllers 152, and drive motors and other loads 153.
[0093] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle's pre-charging circuit connects the positive terminal of the battery cooling and air conditioning integrated unit 13 to the BDU 12 via relay KM2, and directly connects the negative terminal of the battery cooling and air conditioning integrated unit 13 to the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery system. The BMS 122 controls the activation and deactivation of relay KM2, eliminating the constraints of the vehicle's pre-charging circuit. Even when the pre-charging circuit is powered off, the BMS 122 can determine whether the battery cooling system in the integrated unit 13 needs to operate based on whether the temperature of the power battery 11 exceeds a threshold. The BMS 122 independently controls the activation of relay KM2, enabling the integrated unit 13 to receive high-voltage power. Optionally, the temperature threshold can be set by the BMS 122.
[0094] The DC / DC 121 built into the BDU 12 is used to provide a low-voltage power supply. Without turning on the main power switch, the DC / DC 121 can use the low-voltage power supply A+ provided by the charging gun to the entire vehicle as a wake-up source during the charging process, and use the high-voltage input power provided by the power battery 11 to work, converting the high voltage of the power battery 11 into a 24V voltage, which is used to charge the BMS 122 and the battery cooling and air-conditioning integrated unit 13 as an auxiliary power supply. Among them, the current upper limit of the low-voltage power supply A+ is 2A, and the A+ current of the low-voltage power supply A+ is relatively small, and it cannot be directly provided as a power supply to the BMS 122 and the integrated unit 13. The low-voltage auxiliary power required by the BMS 122 and the integrated unit 13 is about 10A. Through the above electrical architecture, the source of the high-voltage power supply and low-voltage auxiliary power supply of the integrated unit 13 is changed, that is, the usage sequence of this function is changed.
[0095] This embodiment realizes battery charging without turning on the main power switch, and the all-in-one device specifically realizes the method flow of battery cooling, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process of the method includes the following S301 to S307.
[0096] S301, the charging gun starts to be plugged in and charged, and the BMS closes the relevant charging circuit relay. During this process, the charging gun is coupled with the charging base and inputs the low-voltage power supply A+24V and current 2A to the vehicle.
[0097] The output voltage and current of the low-voltage power supply A+ are specified by the national charging standard "GB18487.1-2015 Electric Vehicle Conductive Charging System Part 1: General Requirements".
[0098] The low-voltage power supply A+ output wakes up the BDU's built-in DC / DC converter and provides low-voltage auxiliary power to the DC / DC. This DC / DC converter requires less power, which A+ can provide. Simultaneously, the BMS closes the DC / DC's relay KM3, allowing the DC / DC converter to receive high-voltage power.
[0099] S302, after DC / DC obtains high-voltage power supply and low-voltage power supply, DC / DC can normally output 24V low-voltage auxiliary power supply, and provides for BMS and all-in-one machine.
[0100] S303, during the charging process, the battery temperature rises, and the all-in-one machine needs to start the battery cooling function. BMS sends a working request of the battery cooling system to the all-in-one machine on the bus. At the same time, BMS controls the closing of relay KM2, and provides high voltage of the power battery to the all-in-one machine. The all-in-one machine obtains high-voltage power supply and low-voltage auxiliary power supply, and can start the cooling system to cool the battery.
[0101] S304, during the working process of the cooling system, the all-in-one machine judges whether the "ready" instruction of the high-voltage of the whole vehicle pre-charging loop is received on the bus. If not, it is indicated that the high-voltage of the whole vehicle pre-charging main loop is not turned on, and the all-in-one machine can forcibly not respond to the working instruction of the air conditioner. Then, even if the air conditioner power panel is misoperated, the air conditioner cannot be started, thereby cutting off the possibility of misoperation of the air conditioner. If the air conditioner really needs to be turned on, the high-voltage flow can be normally turned on through the ignition key, at this time, the whole vehicle can send the "ready" instruction, and the all-in-one machine can respond to the instruction of the working air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can work normally. The cooling system and the air conditioner can be accurately controlled and interlocked.
[0102] S305, when the battery cooling is within the threshold temperature designed, BMS sends an instruction of stopping working of the all-in-one machine, BMS disconnects relay KM2, and cuts off the high-voltage power supply of the all-in-one machine. The cooling system stops working. Otherwise, the cooling system continues to work. The charging process can continue.
[0103] S306, BMS judges whether the charging is completed, if yes, controls to disconnect the charging KM4 relay and the relay KM3 of DC / DC. At the same time, after the charging is completed, the low-voltage power supply A+ is also cut off. Therefore, DC / DC no longer provides 24V low-voltage auxiliary power supply to BMS and the all-in-one machine.
[0104] S307, BMS and the all-in-one machine have no high-voltage power supply and low-voltage power supply, and BMS and the all-in-one machine enter the sleep state.
[0105] In summary, by the method provided in the above examples, the all-in-one machine system can realize battery cooling function without turning on the main power switch of the vehicle. The commonly used electrical architecture in the market cannot realize battery cooling during charging, or cannot realize battery cooling function when the main power switch of the vehicle is not turned on. Only when the main power switch is turned on for charging, the battery system cooling function can be realized. In this case, after charging is completed, if no one turns off the main power switch in time, the parts of the vehicle without hibernation function will continue to consume the battery power, and if the time is long, the battery health will decrease sharply, and the battery will easily run out of power. The control method and timing of the all-in-one machine system to cool the battery without turning on the main power switch in the above examples ensure that the battery does not run out of power after charging.
[0106] In addition, the electrical architecture is safer, more reliable and reasonable. During vehicle charging, the vehicle pre-charging main circuit does not carry high voltage at all, only the necessary battery system and all-in-one machine carry high voltage. The systems such as vehicle pre-charging circuit that need to participate in charging do not carry high voltage at all, and the architecture is safer and more reasonable. If a person mistakenly touches this part of the system during charging, there is no risk of electric shock.
[0107] In addition, the battery cooling and air conditioning all-in-one machine realize precise control, and in the case of charging without turning on the main power switch, the air conditioner can be interlocked to make the air conditioner forcibly unable to be turned on. It is ensured that the air conditioner will not be mistakenly turned on and consume battery power during charging.
[0108] In addition, without increasing the cost of the vehicle, the existing parts and functions of the vehicle can be used to realize the above scheme.
[0109] Each of the embodiments in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.
[0110] A refers to B, which means that A is the same as B or a simple transformation of B.

For example, the first relay and the second relay are used to distinguish different relays, and are not used to describe a specific order of the relays, and cannot be understood as the first relay being more important than the second relay.
