[0016] The following describes a vehicle and a battery management method thereof and a storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of a battery management method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] In the embodiment of the present invention, the battery of the vehicle includes a power battery, a starting battery and an engine. The charging method in the present invention includes smart charging and general charging. Smart charging is to charge the starting battery through the power battery or the transmitter, and general charging is to charge using a charging pile.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery management method of the vehicle includes:

[0020] S11, determining that the vehicle enters a locked state, and obtaining the weather forecast time.

[0021] Specifically, the weather forecast time can be pre-set. For example, the weather forecast time can be set to the time after the vehicle enters the locked state and the preset time interval. For another example, a specific time of the day can be set as the weather forecast time. For example, since the weather forecast on the Internet is updated regularly, the update time of the weather forecast on the Internet can be obtained, and then the weather forecast time can be set to a certain time after the weather forecast on the Internet is updated. After the vehicle is started, it can be determined whether the vehicle is currently in the locked state. For example, the state of the vehicle can be obtained, and then when it is determined that the current state of the vehicle is a dormant state, a vehicle standby state, or other state where the vehicle has not been driven for a long time, it is determined that the vehicle has entered the locked state. For another example, when it is detected that the user has locked the vehicle, it can be determined that the vehicle has entered the locked state. After determining that the vehicle has entered the locked state, the pre-set weather forecast time can be obtained, and it can be determined whether the current time has reached the weather forecast time.

[0022] S12, when the time reaches the weather forecast time, obtaining weather forecast information within a future preset time period, wherein the weather forecast information includes weather information and time information.

[0023] Specifically, if it is determined that the current time is the weather forecast time, the weather acquisition module on the vehicle can be first awakened, and the weather acquisition module can be, for example, a PAD module, to obtain weather forecast information within a preset time period in the future from the current time. Figure 2If the current time is the weather forecast time, the startup battery management system is awakened, and the startup battery management system wakes up the VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) through the CAN (Controller Area Network), and then the VCU wakes up the PAD module on the vehicle, and the VCU obtains the weather forecast information within the future preset time period through the PAD module. Among them, the preset time period can be, for example, the next seven days, the next two days, the next day, etc., and the above preset time period includes at least one time sub-segment, for example, a time sub-segment can be one hour, two hours, twelve hours, one day, etc. If the VCU does not receive the weather forecast information provided by the PAD, it is determined that the PAD or the communication line is faulty, and the startup battery is intelligently charged according to its own preset charging judgment method.

[0024] S13, judging whether it is necessary to perform thermal management on the power battery and / or whether it is necessary to perform intelligent charging on the starting battery according to the weather information, wherein the intelligent charging is to charge the starting battery through the power battery or the engine.

[0025] Among them, the above-mentioned judgment of whether thermal management of the power battery is needed based on weather information includes: obtaining the maximum temperature value and the minimum temperature value of at least one time sub-segment within a preset time period; if there is at least one time sub-segment with a maximum temperature value greater than a maximum temperature protection threshold, or there is at least one time sub-segment with a minimum temperature value less than a minimum temperature protection threshold, it is determined that thermal management of the power battery is needed.

[0026] As an example, if the VCU obtains weather forecast information for the next seven days through the PAD, the VCU can obtain the minimum and maximum temperatures of each day in the next seven days, and determine whether there is a temperature higher than the maximum temperature protection threshold among the multiple maximum temperatures obtained, and determine whether there is a temperature lower than the minimum temperature protection threshold among the multiple minimum temperatures obtained. If at least one of the conditions is met, it is determined that thermal management of the power battery is required.

[0027] Among them, the above-mentioned judging whether it is necessary to perform intelligent charging on the starting battery based on weather information includes: obtaining the minimum temperature value of at least one time sub-segment within a preset time period; if there is at least one time sub-segment with a minimum temperature value less than a first charging temperature threshold, it is determined that the starting battery needs to be intelligently charged.

[0028] As an example, if the VCU obtains weather forecast information for the next seven days through the PAD, the VCU can obtain the minimum temperature of each day in the next seven days and determine whether there is a temperature below the first charging temperature threshold among the multiple minimum temperatures. If so, it is determined that the starting battery needs to be intelligently charged.

[0029] S14: If thermal management of the power battery is required, thermal management of the power battery is performed according to the time information.

[0030] Specifically, if there is at least one time sub-segment whose highest temperature value is greater than the maximum temperature protection threshold, the time sub-segment corresponding to the highest temperature value is determined to be the first time sub-segment; when the time reaches the first preset moment of the first time sub-segment, the power battery is heat-dissipated so that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the preset optimal temperature and less than the maximum temperature protection threshold; if there is at least one time sub-segment whose lowest temperature value is less than the minimum temperature protection threshold, the time sub-segment corresponding to the lowest temperature value is determined to be the second time sub-segment; when the time reaches the second preset moment of the second time sub-segment, the power battery is heated so that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the minimum temperature protection threshold and less than the preset optimal temperature. The above-mentioned heat dissipation management and heating management of the power battery are both performed through the power battery management system and the vehicle air conditioning system.

[0031] It should be noted that before heat dissipation management is performed on the power battery, if the first time sub-segment is the first time sub-segment of the preset time period, and the difference between the first preset moment and the vehicle locking moment is less than the first preset difference threshold, it is determined that heat dissipation management is not required for the power battery. Before heating management is performed on the power battery, if the second time sub-segment is the first time sub-segment of the preset time period, and the difference between the second preset moment and the vehicle locking moment is less than the first preset difference threshold, it is determined that heating management is not required for the power battery.

[0032] As an example, assuming that the preset time period includes the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, if it is determined based on the weather information that the maximum temperature Tmax of the Nth day is higher than the maximum temperature protection threshold T1, then the Nth day is determined to be the first time sub-segment; if it is determined based on the weather information that the minimum temperature Tmin of the Nth day is lower than the minimum temperature protection threshold, then the Nth day is determined to be the second time sub-segment.

[0033] Furthermore, a countdown Δt as shown below can be generated:

[0034] Δt=(N-1)*24+X-t0,

[0035] Wherein, t0 is the timing start time, and X is the first preset time / the second preset time. For example, if you want to start thermal management at 14 o'clock when the temperature is the highest in a day, set X to 14.

[0036] After obtaining the countdown Δt, it is also determined whether the Nth day is the first time sub-segment of the preset time period, and whether Δt is less than the first preset difference threshold, and then it is determined whether to wake up the countdown Δt for thermal management countdown according to the judgment result. For example, assuming that X is 14 and the first preset difference threshold is 1 hour, if N is 1 and the difference between the locking time and 14:00 is less than 1 hour, it is determined that the countdown will not be performed; if N is not 1, or the difference between the locking time and 14:00 is greater than or equal to 1 hour, the countdown Δt is woken up for thermal management countdown.

[0037] After the countdown Δt returns to zero, the power battery is thermally managed through the vehicle's power battery management system and the vehicle air conditioning system, and thermal management is stopped when the temperature of the power battery reaches a preset reasonable temperature. If the power battery is heat-dissipated, the preset reasonable temperature is positively correlated with the highest temperature Tmax on the Nth day, and is higher than the preset optimal temperature and lower than the maximum temperature protection threshold; if the power battery is heated, the preset reasonable temperature is positively correlated with the lowest temperature Tmin on the Nth day, and is higher than the minimum temperature protection threshold and lower than the preset optimal temperature.

[0038] Optionally, after the countdown Δt is obtained, all components of the vehicle except for necessary modules such as the timing module can be set to enter a dormant state. After thermal management of the power battery, the entire vehicle enters a dormant state, waiting for the next weather forecast time, leaving only some necessary monitoring modules and the starting battery that provides power to work.

[0039] Thus, it is possible to implement thermal management of the power battery according to weather conditions, thereby ensuring the life of the power battery. Moreover, by setting the above-mentioned stopping of thermal management when the temperature of the power battery reaches a reasonable temperature, the energy consumption of thermal management of the power battery is more reasonable, and the temperature of the power battery can be made close to the optimal temperature, which can be, for example, the temperature at which the power battery has the highest efficiency.

[0040] S15: If the starting battery needs to be intelligently charged, the starting battery is intelligently charged according to the time information.

[0041] Specifically, if there is at least one time sub-segment whose minimum air temperature value is less than the first charging temperature threshold, the time sub-segment corresponding to the minimum air temperature value is determined to be the third time sub-segment; when the time reaches the third preset moment of the third time sub-segment, the starting battery is intelligently charged.

[0042] Before the starting battery is intelligently charged, the method further includes: if the third time subsegment is the first time subsegment of the preset time period, and the difference between the third preset moment and the vehicle locking moment is less than the second preset difference threshold, it is determined that the starting battery does not need to be intelligently charged.

[0043] Combine the following Figure 3 The specific example shown explains in detail the intelligent charging of the starting battery according to the time information. In this specific example, the preset time period includes the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day. The third preset time is 14:00, at which time the temperature is the highest and the energy conversion efficiency is the highest. The second preset difference threshold is 1 hour. The temperature of the Mth day and the Nth day is obtained by the weather acquisition module on the vehicle. The Mth and Nth days can be, for example, the two most recent days in the preset time period when the lowest temperature is lower than the first charging temperature threshold. The first charging temperature threshold is -20°C.

[0044] Specifically, if the lowest temperature Tmin1 of the Nth day is less than -20°C, the third time subsegment is determined to be the Nth day, and then the countdown Δt1 shown below is generated:

[0045] Δt1=(N-1)*24+14-t0.

[0046] Among them, if N is 1, and the difference between the locking time and 14:00 is less than 1 hour, that is, Δt1<1, it can be considered that the vehicle has just been powered off, the starting battery is sufficiently charged, and no charging is required; if Δt1≥1, the smart charging countdown Δt1 is awakened, so that the starting battery is charged through the power battery or the vehicle's engine when Δt1 returns to zero.

[0047] Furthermore, if Δt1<1, and if the minimum temperature Tmin2 of the Mth day is less than -20°C, a countdown Δt2 is generated as shown below:

[0048] Δt1=(N-1)*24+14-t0.

[0049] Among them, if N is 1, and the difference between the locking time and 14:00 is less than 1 hour, that is, Δt2<1, it can be considered that the vehicle has just been powered off, the starting battery is sufficiently charged, and no charging is required; if Δt2≥1, the smart charging countdown Δt2 is awakened, so that the starting battery is charged through the power battery or the vehicle's engine when Δt2 returns to zero.

[0050] Optionally, after the countdown is obtained, all components of the vehicle except for necessary modules such as the timing module can be set to enter a dormant state. After thermal management of the power battery, the entire vehicle enters a dormant state, waiting for the next weather forecast time, leaving only some necessary monitoring modules and the starting battery that provides power to work.

[0051] Therefore, the starting battery can be charged when the temperature is low according to weather conditions, thereby ensuring that the starting battery will not be depleted, meeting the needs of users and ensuring the safe use of the vehicle.

[0052] It should be noted that after the starting battery is intelligently charged, the power value and charging time of the starting battery can also be obtained; when the power value is greater than or equal to the preset high power threshold, or the charging time reaches the preset duration, the intelligent charging of the starting battery is stopped.

[0053] Specifically, after the start-up battery is intelligently charged, it can be first determined whether the power value of the start-up battery is greater than or equal to a preset high power threshold, for example, it can be determined whether the power value of the start-up battery has reached full power. Second, it can be determined whether the charging time has reached a preset time. When any one of the two conditions is met, the intelligent charging of the start-up battery is stopped.

[0054] The preset duration can be obtained according to the lowest temperature of the third time sub-segment. For example, the corresponding relationship between the lowest temperature and the preset duration can be set as follows: when the lowest temperature is less than 0°C, the preset duration is 2 hours; when the lowest temperature is 0-25°C, the preset duration is 1 hour; when the lowest temperature is greater than 25°C, the preset duration is 45 minutes. Thus, after the start-up battery is intelligently charged, the maximum allowable charging duration can be obtained according to the lowest temperature of the third time sub-segment.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4 , the battery management method of the vehicle also includes:

[0056] S41, obtaining a power value and a temperature value of a starting battery, and obtaining a charging time threshold value corresponding to the temperature value according to a corresponding relationship between the starting battery temperature and the charging time.

[0057] Specifically, after determining that the current time is the weather forecast time and the vehicle is awakened, the starting battery can be monitored to obtain the power value and temperature value of the starting battery. For example, the power value and temperature value of the starting battery can be obtained by the VCU. After obtaining the power value and temperature value, the charging time threshold corresponding to the temperature value is obtained.

[0058] Optionally, time information can also be obtained while obtaining the power value and temperature value of the starting battery, and a third time sub-segment corresponding to the time information can be obtained, and then the corresponding preset time length can be obtained according to the lowest temperature of the third time sub-segment, and the preset time length can be used as the corresponding charging time threshold.

[0059] The above starting battery temperature-charging time correspondence relationship includes a one-to-one correspondence between a plurality of starting battery temperature intervals and a plurality of charging time thresholds, wherein the starting battery temperature intervals are inversely correlated with the charging time thresholds.

[0060] S42, when the power value is less than a preset low power threshold, or the temperature value is less than a second charging temperature threshold, the starting battery is intelligently charged until the power value of the starting battery is greater than or equal to a preset high power threshold, or the charging time of the starting battery reaches a charging time threshold.

[0061] In this way, the starting battery can be charged when the starting battery is low on power or the temperature is too low, thereby preventing the rechargeable battery from running low on power, meeting the needs of users and ensuring the safe use of the vehicle.

[0062] In summary, the battery management method for a vehicle in an embodiment of the present invention can obtain weather forecast information after determining that the vehicle is in a parking and locking state, and then perform thermal management on the power battery and / or charge the starting battery according to the weather forecast information, thereby ensuring the safe use of the vehicle and the battery life. Since the performance of the battery is related to the temperature, by performing targeted treatment on the battery when the weather temperature is too high or too low, the battery can be ensured to be in the best operating condition, further ensuring the safe use of the vehicle and the battery life. Moreover, the starting battery can be charged when it is determined that the starting battery is insufficient or the temperature is too low, thereby further ensuring the safe use of the vehicle.

[0063] Furthermore, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, a computer program is stored on a computer-readable storage medium. When the computer program is executed by a processor, after determining that the vehicle is in a parking and locking state, weather forecast information can be obtained, and then the power battery can be thermally managed and / or the starting battery can be charged according to the weather forecast information, thereby ensuring the safe use of the vehicle and the battery life. Since the performance of the battery is related to the temperature, by performing targeted treatment on the battery when the weather temperature is too high or too low, the battery can be ensured to be in the best operating condition, further ensuring the safe use of the vehicle and the battery life. Moreover, the starting battery can be charged when it is determined that the starting battery is insufficient or the temperature is too low, thereby further ensuring the safe use of the vehicle.

[0065] The computer-readable storage medium of the embodiment of the present invention can ensure the safe use of the vehicle and the battery life by implementing the above-mentioned vehicle battery management method.
