And the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions, and corresponding operation entrances are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0057] First, the following explanations are made for the nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application:

[0058] Bridge method: Also known as the national standard method, it is a commonly used method for battery pack insulation detection. This function is implemented by the battery management system BMS. The bridge method is also called the passive detection method, mainly because high voltage is required for insulation detection.

[0059] Inverter: It refers to a device in an electric vehicle that, according to the instructions of the controller, realizes the conversion of high-voltage direct current into three-phase alternating current voltage through the on-off of its own power switches, and is one of the core devices of the electric vehicle.

[0060] BMS: Battery Management System, which manages battery cells to prevent overcharging and over-discharging, extends service life, can monitor the real-time state of the battery, collect and process various battery signals, control each relay to realize the high-voltage output and shutdown of the whole vehicle, and conduct insulation detection of the battery pack.

[0061] Microcontroller Unit (MCU): Motor controller, which receives instructions, realizes the output speed and torque of the motor by controlling the inverter, and at the same time monitors and processes motor faults.

[0062] With the popularization of electric vehicles, higher requirements are put forward for the safety performance of electric vehicles. The power battery of an electric vehicle is a high-voltage platform of 400 - 800V, with extremely high danger. Therefore, the insulation detection of electric vehicles is an issue that cannot be ignored. Currently, the mainstream insulation detection scheme is the bridge method, in which the motor controller is not enabled and the inverter switch tubes are all in the off state. The traditional circuit model is effective and can accurately calculate the insulation resistance of the DC side bus to the ground. However, this model ignores the calculation of the insulation resistance of the AC side bus to the ground. If there is a leakage in the three-phase bus of the AC side, this method cannot detect it, which will pose a safety hazard. It can be seen that how to conduct insulation on the electric vehicle battery pack and the three-phase bus has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Currently, insulation detection can also be achieved through the motor drive system. After the vehicle stops and before the motor drive system is powered off, obtain the current setting information of the motor; generate a control signal according to the current setting information so that the motor controller drives the motor according to the control signal; collect the current of the motor, and generate current detection information according to the collected current of the motor; judge whether the insulation of the motor drive system is normal according to the current detection information and the current setting information. The above scheme is a method for separately detecting the insulation of the motor. The basis of this method is that the vehicle has been running, and the insulation detection can only be achieved after the motor system has been powered on and running. This method itself is extremely dangerous and cannot eliminate the safety hazards caused by the decline of insulation performance during the system stop operation, and the vehicle safety performance is low.

[0063] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an insulation detection method, device, equipment, system and storage medium. Among them, this method aims to solve the insulation detection of the electric vehicle battery pack and the three-phase bus. By designing a device, it realizes the simultaneous insulation detection of the battery pack and the three-phase bus through the bridge method when the MCU is not enabled and the inverter switch tubes are all in the off state, ensuring vehicle safety, having considerable economic applicability, and high vehicle safety performance.

[0064] Optionally, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an engine emission control insulation detection system architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 1 the above architecture includes a drive execution unit 100 and an insulation detection device 101 of the vehicle. The insulation detection device 101 is connected to the drive execution unit 100, and the drive execution unit 100 is respectively connected to the battery pack circuit 102 and the three-phase bus circuit 103 of the vehicle.

[0065] Optionally, the insulation detection device 101 may include a signal unit and a central control unit.

[0066] Optionally, the signal unit: collects various information under preset conditions and sends the above information to the central control unit for processing.

[0067] Optionally, the central control unit: receives information from the signal unit, processes the information, and sends a drive instruction to the drive execution unit.

[0068] Optionally, the drive execution unit 100: includes seven relays and their control devices, receives instructions from the central control unit, and executes a preparation action and a recovery action.

[0069] The insulation detection device 101 may be the central control unit, MCU, processor of the vehicle, or other devices that implement the functions of the processor. It can be implemented by the processor reading instructions in the memory and executing the instructions, or by a chip circuit. The insulation detection device 101 can obtain the vehicle state information; judge the vehicle working condition according to the vehicle state information; generate a drive control instruction according to the vehicle working condition; send the drive control instruction to the drive execution unit, so that the drive execution unit connects the three-phase bus circuit to the battery pack circuit according to the drive control instruction in the state where the motor controller is not enabled, and performs insulation detection.

[0070] Exemplarily, Figure 2 FIG. 2 is another schematic diagram of an engine emission control insulation detection system architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown in Figure 1Based on this, the drive execution unit 100 includes seven relays: the first relay 0, the second relay 1, the third relay 2, the fourth relay 3, the fifth relay 4, the sixth relay 5, and the seventh relay 6. The first relay 0 is connected to any position in the positive electrode circuit of the battery pack. The rear end of the first relay 0 is connected in series with the second relay 1, the third relay 2, and the fourth relay 3, and the rear sides of the second relay 1, the third relay 2, and the fourth relay 3 are respectively connected to the output end of the inverter, that is, the starting end of the three-phase bus; the front end of the first relay 0 is connected in series with the seventh relay 6, the sixth relay 5, and the fifth relay 4, and the rear sides of the seventh relay 6, the sixth relay 5, and the fifth relay 4 are respectively connected to the three-phase input end of the motor, that is, the end of the three-phase bus; in the standby state of the system, the first relay 0 remains normally closed, and the rest of the relays remain normally open.

[0071] In a possible implementation manner, to ensure safety, information needs to be obtained from the BMS and the MCU: the vehicle working state, vehicle fault information, vehicle start information, battery pack working state, BMS fault information, motor working state, motor fault information, inverter working state, battery pack insulation detection and discrimination result; when the following preset conditions are met, that is, the vehicle is turned off, the battery pack is under high voltage, the motor is on standby, and the inverter switching tubes are off, the system enters standby preparation. At this time, the DC high-voltage circuit of the battery pack is disconnected from the three-phase bus circuit; when the vehicle start information is detected and there is no fault reported by the vehicle, BMS, and MCU, the system sends a message to enable the inverter (to keep it disconnected and not working), and enables the BMS to perform the high-voltage operation; perform the preparation action: disconnect the first relay 0, close the second relay 1, the third relay 2, the fourth relay 3, the fifth relay 4, the sixth relay 5, and the seventh relay 6. At this time, the three-phase bus is connected to the BMS insulation detection circuit; restore the BMS enable, the BMS operates and performs insulation detection; collect the BMS insulation detection result. After there is no problem, perform the restoration action: close the first relay 0, disconnect the second relay 1, the third relay 2, the fourth relay 3, the fifth relay 4, the sixth relay 5, and the seventh relay 6. If the insulation detection fails, wait for the BMS to report a fault; restore the inverter enable, and end.

[0072] It can be understood that Figure 2 the battery pack circuit 102 and the three-phase bus circuit 103 in
