Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a manual switch monitoring method and a new energy vehicle. Background Art

[0002] For new energy vehicles, in order to prevent accidental power outages caused by the manual switch being accidentally disconnected (e.g., a wiring harness break, switch failure, etc.), a high-voltage DC power supply (DCDC power supply for short) is usually installed behind the manual switch. When the vehicle is at high voltage, the DCDC outputs voltage. At this time, if the manual switch is disconnected, the vehicle power supply is still supplied by the DCDC, and the high voltage is maintained, allowing normal driving. However, when a new energy vehicle is parked for maintenance, if the operation is not standardized, even if the manual switch is disconnected, the vehicle power supply is still supplied by the DCDC, and the vehicle high voltage is maintained.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The following combination Figures 1 to 6 The manual switch monitoring method and new energy vehicle of the present invention are described.

[0024] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the manual switch monitoring method is implemented in the following steps:

[0025] Step 101 : When the new energy vehicle is in an upper high voltage state, obtain a real-time voltage between a low-voltage battery and a manual switch, wherein the low-voltage battery is electrically connected to the manual switch.

[0026] In this embodiment, the manual switch monitoring method can be implemented in the form of a software algorithm, which is configured in a controller with data processing capabilities. The controller can communicate with other components of the new energy vehicle to monitor the manual switch. Preferably, the controller can be a vehicle control unit (VCU) that has been configured in the new energy vehicle itself.

[0027] In this embodiment, the new energy vehicle is powered by a high-voltage DC power supply during operation, requiring the vehicle to be in the upper high-voltage state. Before entering the upper high-voltage state, a manual switch must be closed, using a key or other means, to ensure the vehicle starts and its low-voltage electrical appliances function properly. A low-voltage battery is connected to the front terminal of the manual switch, establishing an electrical connection between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch. The rear terminal of the manual switch is connected to a high-voltage DC power supply via an electromagnetic switch. This high-voltage DC power supply has its voltage reduced as needed. Specifically, the original high-voltage DC power supply is transformed and then connected to the electromagnetic switch. When the manual switch is open, the low-voltage battery temporarily provides low-voltage power to the new energy vehicle, ensuring the vehicle's low-voltage power needs. When the manual switch is closed, the low-voltage DC power converted from the high-voltage DC power supply provides low-voltage power to the vehicle and simultaneously charges the low-voltage battery. When the manual switch is open, the voltage between the manual switch and the low-voltage battery is lower than when it is closed. For example, when the manual switch of a new energy vehicle is closed, the voltage between the manual switch and the low-voltage battery is 28 volts (V), and when the manual switch is open, the voltage between the manual switch and the low-voltage battery is 26.5 V. Therefore, the status of the manual switch can be monitored by using the difference in real-time voltage between the manual switch and the low-voltage battery when the manual switch is open and closed.

[0028] Step 102: When the real-time voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold, obtain driver seat usage information.

[0029] In this embodiment, after obtaining the real-time voltage, it is compared with a preset voltage threshold. This preset voltage threshold is set based on the performance and actual conditions of the new energy vehicle. For example, the preset voltage threshold for one new energy vehicle is set to 27V. When the real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the manual switch is closed and the new energy vehicle can drive normally. When the real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the manual switch is disconnected, and driver's seat usage information is required to determine whether the manual switch was disconnected accidentally or manually.

[0030] In this embodiment, the driver's seat usage information is used to indicate whether the driver's seat is currently in use. Specifically, this information can be generated by a device such as a pressure sensor installed under the driver's seat. For example, when the driver is in the driver's seat, pressure increases, and the pressure sensor generates and transmits driver's seat usage information to the controller, indicating that the driver's seat is occupied. When the driver's seat is unoccupied, the pressure sensor generates and transmits driver's seat usage information to the controller, indicating that the driver's seat is unoccupied. This driver's seat usage information is then used to determine whether the manual switch was disconnected accidentally or intentionally.

[0031] In one embodiment, the real-time voltage between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch is obtained by: obtaining a first real-time voltage and a second real-time voltage between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch, wherein the first real-time voltage is collected by a first wiring harness and the second real-time voltage is collected by a second wiring harness, and the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness are independent of each other. If the real-time voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold, driver's seat usage information is obtained by: obtaining driver's seat usage information if both the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage are less than the preset voltage threshold.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the real-time voltage acquisition process, the real-time voltage acquisition process is designed to be redundant, that is, an independent first wiring harness and second wiring harness are set in parallel, and the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness respectively acquire the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch. Since the low-voltage battery and the manual switch are at equal points, if the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness are connected normally, the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage should be the same. If the first real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, and the second real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the manual switch has been disconnected, and the driver's seat usage information is obtained to proceed to the next step.

[0033] In this embodiment, if only a single low-voltage collection harness is used to collect real-time voltage, damage or unstable connection of the harness could directly lead to misjudgments in the real-time voltage processing. The redundant design of the first and second harnesses significantly reduces the possibility of misjudgments, improves the reliability of manual switch monitoring, and further enhances the safety of new energy vehicles.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connection method of the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness can be determined according to the structure and actual situation of the new energy vehicle. Preferably, the first end of the first wiring harness is connected to the positive pole of the low-voltage battery, and the second end of the first wiring harness is connected to the controller; the first end of the second wiring harness is connected to the front pole of the manual switch, and the second end of the second wiring harness is connected to the controller.

[0035] In one embodiment, after obtaining the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch, a wiring harness abnormality prompt message is generated when the first real-time voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold and the second real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold; or, when the first real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold and the second real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, a wiring harness abnormality prompt message is generated; wherein, the wiring harness abnormality prompt message is used to prompt that the first wiring harness or the second wiring harness is abnormally connected.

[0036] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage, if only one of the first real-time voltage or the second real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, and the other is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the connection of the first wiring harness or the second wiring harness, and the wiring harness abnormality prompt information is used to prompt relevant personnel, further improving the reliability of real-time voltage acquisition. Furthermore, when generating the wiring harness abnormality prompt information based on the first real-time voltage and the second real-time voltage, specific information (coding, etc.) of the abnormal wiring harness can be added to facilitate subsequent maintenance by relevant personnel. The controller can transmit the wiring harness abnormality prompt information to the instrument, and the instrument will display the relevant information for subsequent maintenance. For example, when the first real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, and the second real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, the instrument can display "Low voltage monitoring first wiring harness is broken, please repair immediately" based on the wiring harness abnormality prompt information.

[0037] Step 103 : When the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is occupied, generating a switch accidental disconnection prompt message, wherein the switch accidental disconnection prompt message is used to prompt that the manual switch is accidentally disconnected.

[0038] In this embodiment, if the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is occupied, this indicates that the driver is still in the driver's seat and has not manually disconnected the manual switch. Therefore, an unexpected disconnection prompt message is generated to indicate that the manual switch has been accidentally disconnected. To ensure vehicle safety, the new energy vehicle can operate normally to avoid sudden stops during driving. Furthermore, since the driver is in the driver's seat and can more easily observe the new energy vehicle's instrument display, the controller can transmit the unexpected disconnection prompt message to the instrument display. The instrument display generates a text message based on the unexpected disconnection prompt message to prompt the driver, allowing the fault to be addressed promptly. For example, the instrument display can display "Constant power disconnection, please check and repair" based on the unexpected disconnection prompt message.

[0039] Step 104 : When the driver seat usage information indicates that the driver seat is not occupied, a switch manual disconnection prompt message is generated, wherein the switch manual disconnection prompt message is used to prompt the user to manually disconnect the switch.

[0040] In this embodiment, if the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is not in use, it means that the driver has left the driver's seat and there is no one in the driver's seat, so the manual switch disconnection prompt information is used to prompt the manual switch to be disconnected.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is not in use, after the switch manual disconnection prompt information is generated, the switch manual disconnection prompt information is transmitted to the instrument of the new energy vehicle, wherein the instrument is used to display the manual switch manual disconnection prompt information based on the switch manual disconnection prompt information; the switch manual disconnection prompt information is transmitted to a sound alarm configured for the new energy vehicle, wherein the sound alarm is used to broadcast the sound prompt information of the manual switch manual disconnection based on the switch manual disconnection prompt information.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the driver manually disconnects the manual switch, there is a possibility that relevant personnel need to repair the new energy vehicle. At this time, the new energy vehicle is still in a high-voltage state, which poses a great safety hazard to the relevant personnel. Since the driver has left the driver's seat, in order to better remind relevant personnel, in addition to the instrument text prompt, an audible alarm is also used to prompt. For example, the instrument displays "Power-off abnormality, please turn off the key in the car" based on the manual disconnection prompt information, and the audible alarm repeatedly broadcasts "The whole vehicle has high voltage, please turn off the key in the car".

[0043] In one embodiment, for further safety, after the switch manual disconnection prompt information is transmitted to the sound alarm configured for the new energy vehicle, it also includes: obtaining the sound alarm duration; when the sound alarm duration reaches a preset duration threshold, based on the switch manual disconnection prompt information, controlling at least one high-voltage component to be powered off in sequence according to a preset order.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the sound broadcast reaches a preset duration threshold, based on the manual disconnection prompt information of the switch, at least one high-voltage component is controlled to be powered off in a preset order. Specifically, the controller disconnects the main positive relay, the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) relay, and the air conditioning relay in sequence, turns off the oil pump enable and the air pump enable, and finally turns off the DCDC relay. At this time, the entire vehicle is powered off, the main negative relay of the Battery Management System (BMS) is automatically disconnected, and the new energy vehicle is powered off, avoiding the risk of high-voltage electric shock to maintenance personnel. Among them, the preset duration threshold is pre-set according to the performance and actual situation of the new energy vehicle.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the detailed process of implementing manual switch monitoring with the controller as the execution body is as follows:

[0046] Step 201, the new energy vehicle enters the upper high voltage state;

[0047] Step 202 , obtaining a first real-time voltage V1 and a second real-time voltage V2 , and comparing the first real-time voltage V1 and the second real-time voltage V2 with a preset voltage threshold V0 respectively;

[0048] If the first real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, and the second real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, that is, V1 ≥ V0 and V2 ≥ V0, execute step 203;

[0049] If the first real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold and the second real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, or if the first real-time voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold and the second real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, that is, V1 < V0 and V2 ≥ V0, or V1 ≥ V0 and V2 < V0, execute step 204;

[0050] If the first real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, and the second real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, that is, V1 < V0 and V2 < V0, execute step 205;

[0051] Step 203: The new energy vehicle operates normally, and step 202 is executed;

[0052] Step 204: Generate a wiring harness abnormality prompt message and transmit the wiring harness abnormality prompt message to the instrument. The instrument displays "Low voltage monitoring first wiring harness (or second wiring harness) is broken. Please repair immediately." Then, execute step 203.

[0053] Step 205: Obtain driver seat usage information, and determine whether the driver has left the seat based on the driver seat usage information. If not, execute step 206; if so, execute step 207;

[0054] Step 206: Generate a warning message indicating an unexpected disconnection of the switch, and transmit the warning message to the meter. The meter will display "Normal power disconnection, please check and repair", and then execute step 203;

[0055] Step 207: Generate a manual disconnection prompt message and transmit it to the meter and the sound alarm. The meter displays "Power-off abnormality, please turn off the key inside the vehicle" and the sound alarm cyclically broadcasts "Vehicle has high voltage, please turn off the key inside the vehicle". At the same time, the duration of the sound alarm is counted.

[0056] Step 208: When the sound broadcast reaches the preset duration threshold, the main positive relay, PTC relay and air conditioning relay are disconnected in sequence, the oil pump enable and air pump enable are turned off, and finally the DCDC relay is turned off. At this time, the entire vehicle is powered off, the BMS main negative relay is automatically disconnected, and the new energy vehicle is powered off.

[0057] The manual switch monitoring method provided by the present invention obtains the real-time voltage between the low-voltage battery and the manual switch when the new energy vehicle is in the upper high-voltage state, wherein the low-voltage battery is electrically connected to the manual switch; when the real-time voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold, the driver's seat usage information is obtained; when the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is used, a switch accidental disconnection prompt message is generated, wherein the switch accidental disconnection prompt message is used to prompt that the manual switch is accidentally disconnected; when the driver's seat usage information indicates that the driver's seat is not used, a switch manual disconnection prompt message is generated, wherein the switch manual disconnection prompt message is used to prompt that the manual switch is manually disconnected. In the above process, when the real-time voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the manual switch has been disconnected. In order to avoid the risk of high-voltage electric shock, the driver's seat usage information is used to determine whether the manual switch is accidentally disconnected or manually disconnected, thereby generating corresponding prompt information for prompting and ensuring vehicle safety.
