Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium-ion battery thermal management technology, and in particular to a heating method and heating device for a car-to-car communication radio of a heavy-duty freight train. Background Technology

[0002] When heavy-haul freight trains operate in low-temperature environments, the performance of lithium-ion batteries in communication radios deteriorates significantly, drastically reducing the radios' operating time and lowering the reliability of train-to-train communication. Therefore, when heavy-haul freight trains operate in cold environments, it is necessary to heat the lithium-ion batteries to their normal operating temperature range. In cold regions, finding a more efficient and energy-saving method to quickly heat lithium-ion batteries and extend the radio's operating time becomes a crucial issue for ensuring the reliability of train-to-train communication.

[0003] Currently, research on battery heating mainly falls into two categories: external heating and internal heating. External heating utilizes heat conduction, transferring heat from an external heat source to the battery pack via a heat transfer medium. However, this method suffers from low heat transfer efficiency, uneven heating temperature, and slow heating speed, resulting in less than ideal performance. In contrast, internal heating offers advantages such as high heating efficiency and uniform temperature distribution. It generates a large amount of heat by applying current inside the battery, and its heating effect is even better at low temperatures. However, existing internal heating technologies require an external power source to provide the heating current. For example, Chinese patent application CN202110481639.6 discloses "A Pulse Heating Method, Device, and Vehicle and Process for a Power Battery," and Chinese patent application CN202210211979.1 discloses "Low-Temperature Heating-Charging Integrated Topology and Control Method for Electric Vehicle Power Batteries." Both rely on external equipment, limiting their application scenarios and making battery preheating in low-temperature environments difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a heating method and device for a car-to-car communication radio in heavy-haul freight trains. Based on the inverter principle and inductor freewheeling characteristics, it employs a circuit switching control mode and uses pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to control circuit mode switching, thereby forming a stable current in the inductor and generating pulsed AC current through the inverter characteristics to heat the battery. Furthermore, a negative feedback mechanism is incorporated, utilizing a PID controller to achieve closed-loop control of the heating current. During the heating process, an equivalent circuit model of the lithium-ion battery is established, and the battery model parameters are identified using the least squares method to detect the internal state of the battery. Further, an electro-thermal coupling model is established, and an unscented Kalman filter algorithm is used to estimate and predict the battery's temperature rise state, thereby obtaining the optimal heating current for heating the battery. This invention can quickly and efficiently heat lithium-ion batteries internally, reducing the cost of the thermal management system, improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries in low-temperature environments, and extending the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. The development of this invention was partially supported by the Major Science and Technology Project of China Railway Signal & Communication Corporation [Project No.: 2300-K1200035].

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0062] This invention provides a heating method for a vehicle-to-vehicle communication radio on a heavy-haul freight train, which is based on a heating circuit. The heating circuit includes an H-type circuit structure consisting of two sets of MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) driving half-bridges connected to inductors. The two ends of each MOSFET driving half-bridge are respectively connected to the two ends of the battery being heated. The two MOSFET driving half-bridges use a pair of complementary PWM signals to adjust their duty cycles. More specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the heating circuit includes four MOSFETs (S1, S2, S3, S4) and one inductor L; D1 and D2 are PWM signals, and Re is the equivalent internal resistance of the heating circuit. S1 and S3 form one MOSFET driving half-bridge, and S2 and S4 form another. The MOSFET switches within each half-bridge are complementary, meaning only one switch can be closed while the other is open. The two sets of MOSFET driving half-bridges are connected by an inductor, forming an H-bridge structure. When the PWM signals D1 and D2 are complementary, due to the freewheeling characteristic of the inductor, a stable continuous current is generated across the inductor. Through the current inversion effect of the two sets of MOSFET driving half-bridges, an AC pulse current is ultimately formed on the battery.

[0063] The operating mode of the heating circuit is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the heating circuit operates in two modes: Mode 1 and Mode 2. In Mode 1, MOSFET switches S1 and S4 are on, while switches S2 and S3 are off; if the inductor current direction is as follows... Figure 2 As shown in (a), the pulse current flows out from the positive terminal of the battery. In mode 2, MOSFET switches S1 and S4 are open, and switches S2 and S3 are open; at this time, the pulse current flows into the positive terminal of the battery. Therefore, when the heating circuit is controlled using complementary PWM signals, an alternating current is generated on the battery. In this embodiment, the heating current waveform is as follows: Figure 3As shown. When the heating circuit is controlled by a PWM signal, an approximate DC current will be generated on the inductor. The current amplitude will vary depending on the duty cycle, and a pulsed AC current will be generated on the battery.

[0064] Based on the heating circuit described above, the heating method provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0072] S14: Based on the parameters to be identified, the open-circuit voltage and equivalent internal resistance of the battery, as well as the equivalent lamp group and the inductance value in the heating circuit are derived. The derivation formulas are shown below:

[0073]

[0074] Where E is the open-circuit voltage of the battery, R e R is the equivalent internal resistance of the heating circuit. o L is the equivalent internal resistance of the battery, and L is the inductance value of the inductor in the heating circuit.

[0075] S2: Calculate the maximum allowable heating current based on the battery's internal parameters at the current moment, and use it as a control reference.

[0076] The maximum allowable heating current is calculated using the following formula:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, i max To allow the maximum heating current, U max For the upper limit of safe voltage, U min The lower limit of the safe voltage, E is the open-circuit voltage of the battery, and R is the lower limit of the safe voltage. o This represents the battery's equivalent internal resistance. A safe voltage limit prevents overcharging and over-discharging, enabling rapid battery heating while ensuring battery safety.

[0079] S3: A PID controller is used to control the heating circuit by outputting a PWM signal duty cycle. The inductor current in the heating circuit is collected and fed back to the PID controller to form a current closed-loop regulation to track the maximum allowable heating current. The PWM signal duty cycle and the inductor current constitute a first-order inertial system.

[0080] Specifically, inductor current is selected as the signal acquisition quantity. In this embodiment, the sampling period is set to 1ms. The PID controller forms a current closed-loop regulation based on the acquired inductor current to improve control accuracy. Based on the characteristics of the heating circuit, the state equation of inductor current and the duty cycle of the input PWM signal is obtained as follows:

[0081]

[0082] Where E is the open-circuit voltage of the battery, R e R is the equivalent internal resistance of the heating circuit. o L is the equivalent internal resistance of the battery, and L is the inductance value of the inductor in the heating circuit. o i is the inductance value of the battery's equivalent inductance. L q represents the inductor current, t represents time, and q represents the duty cycle of the PWM signal.

[0083] Let u = 2q - 1, then the Laplace transfer function G(s) of the control variable u and the inductor current can be obtained as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Where s is the frequency domain conversion factor;

[0086] A PID controller is designed based on the transfer function, incorporating a process of converting the control variable u into a PWM signal duty cycle q. The heating circuit is then controlled based on the PWM signal duty cycle q. The closed-loop feedback control flowchart of the PID controller is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0091] S42: Discretize the battery thermal model according to the sampling period to obtain the following form:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, t p To estimate the sampling period time for battery temperature, T n Q represents the temperature state at the time of the nth battery temperature estimation sampling period. j,n The internal heating power of the battery at the time of the sampling period for estimating the temperature of the nth battery;

[0094] S43: Use a Kalman filter to predict the battery temperature in advance based on the current state of the battery and calculate the prior error covariance value;

[0095] S44: Input the collected battery temperature, the battery temperature estimated by the Kalman filter, the current heating current, and the ambient temperature into the Kalman filter, calculate the Kalman gain, perform battery temperature state correction, obtain the actual internal temperature of the battery, and update the error covariance.
