[0049] communicating with the lithium ion battery pack by the power gun to obtain the current voltage of the lithium ion battery pack;

[0050] gradually increasing the output voltage from 0V to a first preset voltage by the charging gun, the first preset voltage being higher than the current voltage of the lithium ion battery pack.

[0051] Wherein, the difference between the first preset voltage and the current voltage of the lithium ion battery pack is determined according to the need, which is usually slightly larger.

[0052] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, between S3 and S4, comprising:

[0053] communicating with the lithium ion battery pack by the power gun to obtain the voltage of the lithium ion battery pack when charging to a preset time length;

[0054] gradually increasing the output voltage from the first preset voltage to a second preset voltage by the charging gun, the second preset voltage being higher than the voltage of the lithium ion battery pack when charging to a preset time length.

[0055] The difference between the second preset voltage and the voltage of the lithium ion battery pack when charged for a preset time period is determined according to requirements, and is usually slightly greater.

[0056] Further, the embodiment of the present application comprises gradually reducing the output voltage from the second preset voltage to 0V by using the power supply gun between S4 and S5. By this configuration, the smooth switching of the power supply can be realized, and the damage to the load can be avoided.

[0057] In order to better understand the power supply method provided by the present application, the following will be described in combination with Figure 1 The flow of the method is described by example, according to Figure 1 In the embodiment, S1 is the first on-off component, S3 is the second on-off component, S4 is the third on-off component, S5 is the fourth on-off component, S2 is the fifth on-off component, D1 is the first diode, and D2 is the second diode. In order to describe the cooperation relationship between each device or component in detail, it is assumed that the working voltage range of the lithium ion battery pack is 500V-720V, that is, the voltage of the lithium ion battery pack after being fully charged is 720V, and the voltage after being discharged is 500V. The working principle of uninterrupted power supply is that the lithium ion battery pack is used to supply power to the load under normal circumstances. When the lithium ion battery pack is charged, the ground equipment is used to supply power to the load in order to avoid the lithium ion battery pack being discharged while being charged, and the ground equipment and the lithium ion battery pack can realize seamless switching power supply. The specific process is as follows:

[0058] 1) Under normal circumstances, the rear-end load is supplied by the lithium ion battery pack. At this time, the states of the contactors are S1, S2 and S3 are opened, and S4 and S5 are closed. The DC power output by the lithium ion battery pack is converted by the DC / DC converter and the DC / AC inverter to supply power to the DC load and the AC load of different voltage levels.

[0059] 2) When the lithium ion battery pack is discharged and needs to be charged, the ground power supply gun is connected, the contactor S5 is disconnected and the contactor S1 is closed, the power supply gun communicates with the lithium ion battery pack. At this time, the voltage of the lithium ion battery pack is 500V, the output voltage of the power supply gun is slowly increased from 0V to 510V, at this time the load is supplied by the power supply gun. Similarly, the DC power output by the power supply gun is converted by the DC / DC converter and the DC / AC inverter to supply power to the DC load and the AC load of different voltage levels. Then, the contactor S4 is disconnected and the contactor S2 is closed, the ground charging gun is connected, the charging gun communicates with the lithium ion battery pack, the output voltage of the charging gun changes with the voltage of the battery pack and is slightly higher than the voltage of the battery pack, the contactor S3 is closed, and the charging gun charges the lithium ion battery pack.

[0060] 3) When the lithium ion battery pack is fully charged, the voltage returns to 720V, at this time, the contactor S3 is disconnected and the charging gun is pulled out, the output voltage of the power supply gun is set to slowly increase from 510V to 730V, the contactors S2 and S5 are disconnected and the contactor S4 is closed. Then, the output voltage of the power supply gun is set to slowly decrease from 730V to 0V, at this time, the load is powered by the lithium ion battery pack, the contactor S1 is disconnected and the power supply gun is pulled out, and the contactor S5 is closed.

[0061] Based on the above embodiment, a different power supply idea for different areas is provided, that is, the ground charging pile device in the base station is used to supply power to the load in the station, and the lithium battery pack is used to supply power to the load outside the base station, so that the lithium ion battery pack has sufficient power when working in the area outside the base station. In addition, the voltage range of the lithium ion battery pack can be adjusted according to different application scenarios, that is, the uninterrupted power supply topology and the corresponding power supply method can be applied to various scenarios.

[0062] In summary, the present application provides an uninterrupted power supply topology based on a DC source and an uninterrupted power supply method. The topology connects the power supply gun and the lithium ion battery pack together through the DC bus by setting the charging gun on the lithium ion battery pack, and sets a diode between the lithium ion battery pack and the DC bus. At the same time, the on-off components are set between the power supply gun and the DC bus, between the charging gun and the lithium ion battery pack, and between the lithium ion battery pack and the diode. The topology structure contains two power sources, lithium ion battery pack and external DC source. Through the cooperation of the on-off components and the charging gun and the power supply gun, seamless switching can be realized between the lithium ion battery pack and the external CD source, and uninterrupted power supply on the load side can be realized. At the same time, the forward conduction characteristic of the diode can avoid the lithium ion battery pack from charging and discharging at the same time, effectively reducing the risk of thermal runaway. Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application can solve the technical problem that the lithium ion battery pack is easy to have thermal runaway when charging and discharging at the same time in the uninterrupted power supply scene.
