Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically, to a thermal management control method, device, and electronic device based on fast battery charging. Background Technology

[0002] As a carrier of new energy, power batteries are gradually being widely used. For example, in new energy vehicles, the power battery is one of the core components, and its charging performance directly affects the user experience. Currently, the charging time of power batteries remains a pain point in user experience, with a long charging process, especially in high and low temperature scenarios, where charging time can reach 1 to 2 hours, while a gasoline car can be refueled in just 3 to 5 minutes. The time cost due to the difference in scenarios is far greater. Currently, power battery charging control, in high temperature (e.g., above 40°C) or low temperature (e.g., below 0°C) environments, can usually only roughly regulate the battery temperature, and this temperature regulation still affects the charging efficiency of the power battery.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application also provides a thermal management control method based on battery fast charging, referred to as a thermal management control method. The method can be applied to the electronic device described above, and each step of the method is executed or implemented by the electronic device. The thermal management control method can implement the pre-control logic of the thermal management process during the charging process of the power battery under high temperature conditions (such as battery temperature exceeding 40℃) or low temperature conditions (such as battery temperature below 0℃). The thermal management control method can include the following steps:

[0051] Step 110, obtaining a current parameter set of the battery system, wherein the current parameter set includes a current temperature and a current SOC;

[0052] Step 120, determining, according to a pre-created charging MAP table, an optimal charging rate of a starting point of a next charging phase of the battery system and a target temperature corresponding to the optimal charging rate, wherein the next charging phase is a SOC range after a charging phase in which the current SOC is located;

[0053] Step 130, determining, according to a pre-created correspondence between temperature, SOC, charging rate, and thermal management rate, an expected thermal management rate of a thermal management system for charging the battery system at the optimal charging rate and the target temperature at the starting point, wherein the thermal management system is used for temperature regulation of the battery in the battery system, and the expected thermal management rate is a cooling rate or a heating rate;

[0054] Step 140, before the current SOC of the battery system reaches the next charging phase, performing interpolation operation according to the current thermal management rate of the thermal management system and the expected thermal management rate, and controlling the thermal management system to operate based on the thermal management rate obtained by interpolation;

[0055] Step 150, when the current SOC of the battery system reaches the next charging phase, controlling the thermal management system to operate based on the expected thermal management rate.

[0056] The steps of the thermal management control method will be described in detail as follows:

[0057] In this embodiment, the implementation process of the thermal management control method can include the creation of a relationship algorithm (corresponding to steps 101 to 105 described below) and the application of thermal management control (corresponding to steps 110 to 150 described below).

[0058] The creation of the relationship algorithm can include: building a charging MAP table, creating a thermal management temperature threshold, calibrating and analyzing heat generation-heat exchange during charging, and calibrating a thermal management rate-charging rate matrix.

[0059] The application of thermal management control can include: pre-control period calculation, selecting the optimal charging rate and optimal cooling rate using an intelligent and efficient thermal management pre-control strategy, and realizing the fast charging of the battery system and the control of the thermal management system.

[0060] In this embodiment, before step 110, the method can further include a step of creating a charging MAP table and establishing a correspondence between temperature, SOC, charging rate, and thermal management rate. For example, before step 110, the method can further include:

[0061] Step 101, based on a set of calibration parameters corresponding to the battery system, create a charging MAP table, the set of calibration parameters including charging rates corresponding to the battery system at multiple SOCs and multiple temperatures;

[0062] Step 102, according to the temperature, charging current, heat generation power of the battery system, and heat exchange power of the thermal management system, establish a first energy curve corresponding to the temperature, charging current, and heat generation power of the battery system, and a second energy curve corresponding to the temperature, charging current of the battery system, and heat exchange power of the thermal management system;

[0063] Step 103, establish a relationship function of the charging rate, heat generation power of the battery system, and thermal management rate of the thermal management system;

[0064] Step 104, according to the relationship function, establish a thermal management rate-charging rate matrix;

[0065] Step 105, according to the charging MAP table, the first energy curve, the second energy curve, and the thermal management rate-charging rate matrix, establish the correspondence between temperature, SOC, charging rate, and thermal management rate.

[0066] The thermal management system can include a heating module, a liquid pump, a pipeline, etc., and can realize functions such as heating or cooling of the battery system. The pipeline is in contact with the battery cell of the battery system and is used for heat exchange with the battery system. For example, when the battery cell needs to be cooled, the liquid pump is started to transport the cooling liquid through the pipeline to reduce the temperature of the battery cell. When the battery cell needs to be heated, the heating module is started, at which time the heating module can heat the cooling liquid, and then the pipeline transmits heat to the battery cell to heat up the battery cell.

[0067] In step 101, the calibration parameter set includes the optimal charging rate corresponding to the battery system at a plurality of SOCs and a plurality of temperatures. The temperature generally refers to the temperature range in which the battery system can normally operate. For example, the working temperature of a conventional lithium ion battery is between -20°C and 60°C. Generally, the performance of the lithium ion battery will decrease when the temperature is lower than 0°C, and the discharge capacity will also decrease accordingly. The complete working temperature of the lithium ion battery is commonly 0-40°C.

[0068] As an example, the calibration parameter set can include the optimal charging rate corresponding to the battery system at the SOC values of 0, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% and the temperatures of -20°C, -10°C, 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C. Then, based on the calibration parameter set of the SOC value, the temperature, and the corresponding optimal charging rate, a charging MAP table is created. The calibration parameter set of different models of battery systems can be different, and the corresponding charging MAP table can also be different.

[0069] In the calibration parameter set, the division granularity of each SOC value and temperature can be smaller, and is not limited to the above example. For example, the interval of the SOC is 10%, and the interval of the temperature is 5°C. The calibration parameter set is obtained by data collection on the power battery in the battery system by the tester, and the acquisition method of the calibration parameter set is a conventional method, which will not be described here.

[0070] In this embodiment, the method can also determine a temperature threshold for thermal management according to the charging MAP table. The main purpose of determining the temperature threshold is to ensure the maximum charging rate as much as possible, and therefore, cooling or heating needs to be started before the corresponding maximum charging rate (SOC-temperature ℃). The temperature threshold corresponding to different SOCs can be different, and the optimal starting temperature threshold and the flow rate (l / min) of the thermal management system at different SOCs can be obtained through simulation or testing. The temperature threshold is the target temperature in step 120.

[0071] In step 102, the acquisition method of the heat generation power of the battery system and the heat exchange power of the thermal management system is a conventional method, which can be obtained by measurement or simulation.

[0072] As an example, the first energy curve and the second energy curve can be seen fromFigure 2 In Figure 2 , the curve corresponding to the battery heat generation is the first energy curve, and the curve corresponding to the heat exchange amount of the thermal management system is the second energy curve. Figure 2 The horizontal axis is time (unit: second, symbol s), and the battery heat generation corresponds to the heat generation power, and the heat exchange amount of the thermal management system corresponds to the heat exchange power. In Figure 2 , an energy curve corresponding to the charging rate is also created to present the charging rate changing over time. Based on Figure 2 the heat generation and heat exchange curves (the first energy curve and the second energy curve) in Figure 2 , the balance point can be analyzed: the intersection point of the curves or the parallel section can be used as the heat exchange balance point, such as the intersection point marked in the energy curve in

[0073] In step 103, the relationship function can be expressed as: Rate = F(Q)(Thermal), where Rate refers to the charging rate, Q refers to the heat generation power, and Thermal refers to the thermal management rate, which can be the cooling rate or the heating rate.

[0074] In step 104, generally, the large-rate charging stage in the direct-current charging process corresponds to a large heat generation, so the heat exchange demand of the thermal management system in this stage, i.e., the corresponding cooling rate, should be greater than the cooling rate of the balance point, so as to take away enough heat to maintain or reduce the temperature, thereby guaranteeing the maximum charging rate. Continuing the direct-current charging, generally, the charging rate of the battery will gradually decrease at the end of the SOC (at this time, low-rate charging can be used to ensure sufficient charging of electricity), so the heat generation of the battery in this stage will also decrease, and the heat exchange demand of the thermal management system will also decrease, so the cooling rate can also decrease. In this way, on the one hand, the cooling demand is met, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to reduce the power consumption in the cooling process. According to this logic, the elements of the thermal management rate-charging rate matrix can be calibrated in combination with the relationship function, and then the rate matrix can be created based on the elements of the matrix. As an example, the table form of the rate matrix can be as shown in Table 1.

[0075] Table 1:

[0076]

[0077] After obtaining the thermal management rate-charging rate matrix, by arranging the charging MAP table, the first energy curve, the second energy curve, and the corresponding relationship of the battery system temperature, SOC, charging rate, and the thermal management rate of the thermal management system in the thermal management rate-charging rate matrix, the corresponding relationship of the temperature, SOC, charging rate, and the thermal management rate can be obtained. The corresponding relationship can be understood as an index or mapping relationship.

[0078] As an example, a portion of the contents of the created charging MAP table can be shown in Table 2 below.

[0079] Table 2:

[0080] Temperature / SOC 30% 40% 50% 25℃ 2C 1.8C 1.6C 30℃ 1.5C 1.3C 1.0C

[0081] In this embodiment, the correspondence between temperature, SOC, and charging rate and thermal management rate can be represented by a relationship table. For example, some of the correspondences can be shown in Table 3 below, where C refers to the unit or exponent of the charging rate, X refers to the unit or exponent of the thermal management rate, and the thermal management rate in Table 3 refers to the cooling rate.

[0082] Table 3:

[0083] Charge rate, thermal management rate 30% 40% 50% 25℃ (2C, 1.2X) 30℃ (1.3C, 0.8X)

[0084] It should be noted that the parameters in Tables 2 and 3 may differ for different models of battery systems and thermal management systems. The parameters in Tables 2 and 3 in this embodiment are only examples to facilitate understanding of the implementation process of the method.

[0085] In step 110, the current parameter set of the battery system is obtained in a conventional way, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] In step 120, it is understood that upon obtaining the current SOC of the battery system, the SOC value at the starting point of the next charging stage can be determined. For example, in Table 2, if the current SOC is any value in [30%, 40%), such as 30%, then the SOC range for the next charging stage is [40%, 50%). That is, the SOC value at the starting point of the next charging stage is 40%. Furthermore, the target temperature corresponding to the optimal charging rate at an SOC of 40% can be determined using the charging MAP table. This target temperature is the temperature threshold used for battery system temperature regulation.

[0087] In this embodiment, the optimal charging rate is not necessarily the maximum charging rate. For example, considering extreme temperature environments, such as high-temperature environments (e.g., ambient temperature exceeding 35°C), if the thermal management system cannot cool the battery system below 35°C, then the lowest temperature at which the battery system is cooled by the thermal management system at its maximum cooling rate can be taken as the target temperature. The optimal charging rate is then determined based on this target temperature, the SOC at the start of the next charging stage, and the charging MAP table.

[0088] In step 130, after obtaining the optimal charging rate, target temperature, and SOC value at the starting point, the desired thermal management rate that enables the battery system to be charged at the optimal charging rate and target temperature can be found through the correspondence (refer to Table 3).

[0089] It can be understood that the expected thermal management ratio is a cooling ratio if the current temperature is higher than the target temperature, and the expected thermal management ratio is a heating ratio if the current temperature is lower than the target temperature.

[0090] Step 140 can include:

[0091] Before the current SOC of the battery system reaches the next charging stage, based on the current temperature, the time length required for the temperature of the battery system to reach the target temperature by the thermal management system is estimated according to a value range of a thermal management ratio of the thermal management system;

[0092] Interpolation operation is performed according to the current thermal management ratio of the thermal management system and the expected thermal management ratio;

[0093] Based on the time length and the thermal management ratio obtained by interpolation, the thermal management system is controlled to operate.

[0094] It can be understood that, in order to estimate and control the charging ratio and the thermal management ratio of the next charging stage in advance, the optimal charging path (i.e., the high-temperature / low-temperature charging path formed according to the charging MAP table) calibrated by pre-simulation or test results needs to be combined, and the time length required for cooling or heating to the target temperature in the next charging stage is calculated according to the cooling / heating capacity (i.e., the thermal management ratio), which is used as the time period for early control in different stages. When the current SOC of the battery system reaches the next charging stage, it generally indicates that the temperature of the battery has reached the target temperature, thereby realizing the pre-judgment and pre-control of thermal management.

[0095] In step 150, when the current SOC of the battery system reaches the next charging stage, the thermal management ratio of the thermal management system can be completely switched to the expected thermal management ratio.

[0096] In this embodiment, the method can further include: when the expected thermal management ratio is a cooling ratio, and within a preset time period, the charging ratio of the battery system is reduced, and the heat generation power of the battery system is less than a preset power threshold, the cooling ratio of the thermal management system is controlled to be reduced.

[0097] It can be understood that, in general, during high-temperature charging, the charging ratio of the battery will gradually decrease at the end of SOC (i.e., the value near 100% of SOC), and low-rate charging is used to ensure sufficient charging of electricity. Therefore, the heat generation of the battery in this stage is also reduced, and the heat exchange demand of the thermal management system is also reduced, so the cooling ratio can be reduced. In this way, on the one hand, the cooling demand can be met, and on the other hand, the power consumption in the cooling process can be reduced.

[0098] In this embodiment, the method can further include:

[0099] By the charging MAP table, an optimal charging path corresponding to the current temperature and the current SOC of the battery system is determined, and a charging request is sent to a charging station based on the optimal charging path, so that the charging station charges the battery system in the optimal charging path.

[0100] In the charging process of the battery system, the above method can be used to realize the comprehensive calculation of the optimal thermal management rate and the optimal charging rate, and form an intelligent and efficient thermal management pre-control value strategy. For example, the cooling rate intelligently changes with the change of the charging rate of the battery system during the charging process: the cooling rate in the next charging stage is estimated through the charging path. When the charging rate is large, the cooling is started as needed to ensure that the charging rate meets the maximum value at the present stage; when the charging rate decreases, the cooling rate can be adaptively reduced to reduce power consumption.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 3 The application also provides a thermal management control device based on battery fast charging, referred to as a thermal management control device 200. The device includes at least one software function module that can be stored in the form of software or firmware (Firmware) in a storage module or solidified in an electronic device operating system (Operating System, OS). The processing module is used to execute the executable modules stored in the storage module, such as the software function modules and computer programs included in the thermal management control device 200.
