Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-voltage power supply and distribution technology for vehicles, and more particularly to a power supply and distribution system for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The low-voltage power supply system of electric vehicles provides low-voltage power to the control units of systems such as autonomous driving, electric drive, steer-by-wire, and brake-by-wire. If the low-voltage power supply fails, the control units will malfunction, causing the electric drive, steering, and braking systems to fail, leading to driving safety issues. Currently, electric vehicles use a battery and a power conversion device connected in parallel as their power source, supplying power to the electrical loads through a power distribution system. This can be further divided into three types: single battery + single power conversion device, single battery + dual power conversion device, and dual batteries + single power conversion device. The dual power conversion device system typically uses cold backup. A detection device monitors the status of the main power conversion device; if the main power conversion device malfunctions, an external circuit switches to isolate the main power conversion device and connect the auxiliary power conversion device to the circuit. These three system configurations improve the reliability of the power supply system to some extent.

[0003] For a single-battery system, if the battery is depleted or damaged, the system cannot power on normally, and the vehicle cannot move. For a single power conversion device system, if it fails and cannot output 28V power normally, the system can only rely on battery power for short-term emergency operation. For a dual power conversion device system with cold backup, the switching between the main and auxiliary power conversion devices is achieved through detection circuits and switching circuits, which makes the circuit complex and reduces reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are briefly described below:

[0027] According to some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a power supply and distribution system for a vehicle, comprising a first power conversion device 1 and a second power conversion device 2 connected in parallel. The first power conversion device 1 and the second power conversion device 2 output power signals to the load of the downstream circuit through a parallel current sharing control method. The parallel current sharing control method includes:

[0028] Step 101: Obtain the first output current of the first power conversion device 1;

[0029] Step 102: Obtain the second output current of the second power conversion device 2;

[0030] Step 103: Calculate the average current value of the first output current and the second output current;

[0031] Step 104: Compare the average current value with the first output current through a comparator to obtain a first comparison result; adjust the value of the first output current according to the first comparison result; compare the average current value with the second output current through a comparator to obtain a second comparison result; adjust the value of the second output current according to the second comparison result, so as to realize the parallel current sharing of the first power conversion device and the second power conversion device.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first power conversion device 1 obtains the first output current and the second output current through the CAN bus of the controller, calculates the average current value, compares the average current value and the first output current through a comparator, obtains the first comparison result, and adjusts the output of the first power conversion device 1 to form a loop regulation based on the first comparison result.

[0034] Furthermore, the first power conversion device 1 and the second power conversion device 2 have a 600V high-voltage DC input and a 28V low-voltage DC output.

[0035] Specifically, in order to meet the requirements of redundant power supply, the output power of a single power conversion device can cover the needs of all low-voltage electrical loads. According to the calculation of electrical load, the rated output power of a single power conversion device is 5KW.

[0036] When one of the power conversion devices fails, the other power conversion device can be switched to supply power to the load of the downstream circuit without affecting the normal operation of the vehicle.

When both the first power conversion device 1 and the second power conversion device 2 fail or are both disconnected, the first rechargeable battery G1 supplies power to the load of the downstream circuit.
