[0018] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architectures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods, devices, circuits, and

[0019] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1 which shows an implementation flowchart of the battery adaptive equalization method provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the details are as follows:

[0021] S101: Obtain the unbalance degree of each single battery in the battery module.

[0022] Specifically, the execution subject of the embodiment can be a controller of a power supply device. The controller obtains the resting voltage of each single battery in the battery module, and determines the unbalance degree of each single battery according to the resting voltage of each single battery.

[0023] Specifically, the controller can use the formula to determine the unbalance degree of each single battery, wherein V i represents the resting voltage of the i-th single battery, V min represents the minimum resting voltage of the single battery in the battery module.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0025] based on the formula to calculate the unbalance degree of each single battery;

[0026] wherein SOC i represents the remaining capacity of the i-th single battery, SOC min represents the minimum value of the remaining capacity of each single battery.

[0027] S102: Take the single battery whose unbalance degree exceeds the first preset threshold as a to-be-adjusted battery, and determine the corresponding equalization current according to the battery temperature of each to-be-adjusted battery; the battery temperature and the equalization current are negatively correlated.

[0028] In the embodiment, in order to reduce the unbalance degree of part of the single batteries, the power of the single battery with a large unbalance degree of load consumption can be set individually, so that the single battery with a large unbalance degree outputs an equalization current to the load for passive equalization while charging and discharging. Different from the charging and discharging current of the single battery, the equalization current is the current of the single battery discharging to the passive equalization load.

[0029] Specifically, the first preset threshold can be 3%, that is, when the unbalance degree of the single battery is greater than 3%, the single battery is taken as a battery to be adjusted, and passive equalization is performed on the battery to be adjusted.

[0030] When passive equalization is performed on the battery to be adjusted, the corresponding equalization current can be determined based on the battery temperature. For example, Figure 2 Figure 2 An equalization current-battery temperature diagram provided by the embodiment is shown. Referring to Figure 2 Since the greater the equalization current is, the faster the temperature of the single battery rises, the equalization current of the single battery can be controlled to decrease with the increase of the battery temperature when the battery temperature is less than the upper limit value T1 of the temperature, and the single battery is controlled to follow the conventional equalization current i c to discharge.

[0031] For example, the size of the conventional equalization current is 200mA, and when the battery temperature of the single battery is lower than the upper limit value of the temperature, the equalization current can be controlled to adjust to 500mA or 1A.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S102 includes:

[0033] determining whether the battery temperature of the first battery to be adjusted in the current period is greater than a first temperature threshold; the first battery to be adjusted is any battery to be adjusted;

[0034] if the battery temperature of the first battery to be adjusted in the current period is greater than the first temperature threshold, setting the equalization current of the first battery to be adjusted in the current period as a first equalization current;

[0035] if the battery temperature of the first battery to be adjusted in the current period is not greater than the first temperature threshold, setting the equalization current of the first battery to be adjusted in the current period as a second equalization current;

[0036] The first equalization current is less than the second equalization current.

[0037] ​Specifically, the size of the equalization current can be determined by the first temperature threshold, the equalization current is divided into the first equalization current and the second equalization current, and the single battery is controlled to be passively equalized. This method can not only realize the effect of increasing the equalization current to accelerate the adaptive equalization rate in a low-temperature environment, but also is simple to calculate and easy to implement.

[0038] In addition, the above method can adjust the equalization current in real time based on the battery temperature of the to-be-adjusted battery in each period, and realize adaptive passive equalization of the battery.

[0039] In one possible implementation, another implementation process of S102 includes:

[0040] determining an equalization current adjustment amount of the current period according to a battery temperature change rate of the first to-be-adjusted battery in the current period; the battery temperature change rate is positively correlated with the equalization current adjustment amount;

[0041] subtracting the equalization current adjustment amount of the current period from the equalization current of the previous period as the equalization current of the current period.

[0042] Specifically, the battery temperature of the current period is subtracted from the battery temperature of the previous period, and the difference is divided by the battery temperature of the previous period to obtain the temperature change rate of the current period. If the temperature change rate is larger, it means that the rate of temperature rise of the battery is faster, and the reduction amount of the equalization current is larger, so as to ensure that the single battery will not cause a situation of excessively high temperature due to passive equalization. If the temperature change rate is smaller, it means that the rate of temperature rise of the battery is smaller, and the reduction amount of the equalization current is smaller, so that the single battery can be passively equalized with a larger equalization current, thereby improving the passive equalization efficiency of the single battery.

[0043] In one possible implementation, still another implementation process of S102 includes:

[0044] determining a corresponding equalization current according to the battery temperature of the first to-be-adjusted battery in the current period, and the battery temperature of the first to-be-adjusted battery is negatively correlated with the equalization current; the first to-be-adjusted battery is any to-be-adjusted battery;

[0045] if the environmental temperature of the current period is greater than the second preset temperature, the equalization current of the first to-be-adjusted battery in the current period is reduced;

[0046] if the environmental temperature of the current period is less than the third preset temperature, the equalization current of the first to-be-adjusted battery in the current period is increased;

[0047] The third preset temperature is less than the second preset temperature.

[0048] Specifically, the temperature of the single battery is also affected by the ambient temperature. The higher the ambient temperature, the faster the temperature rising rate of the single battery. Therefore, at this time, the original equalization current can be slightly reduced to reduce the temperature rising rate of the battery, avoid the battery temperature rising too fast (when the battery temperature reaches the temperature upper limit value, the single battery can only be passively equalized with the equalization current of the conventional size or stop passive equalization), shorten the time of passive equalization with large equalization current, improve the control accuracy of the equalization current, and further improve the passive equalization efficiency of the single battery.

[0049] S103: Control each to-be-adjusted battery to supply power to the corresponding passive equalization load with the corresponding equalization current, until the unbalance degree of each to-be-adjusted battery does not exceed the first preset threshold.

[0050] Specifically, the passive equalization load can be an adjustable resistor, and the corresponding equalization current can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustable resistor. It can be understood that the passive equalization load can also be other electronic devices that can consume power.

[0051] Since the passive equalization load is used to absorb the power of the single battery with a large unbalance degree during passive equalization, in the equalization mode on state, no matter whether the battery module is currently in a charging state or a discharging state, the battery module will present a slow discharging condition when charging and a fast discharging condition when discharging.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S103 includes:

[0053] The equalization current of the first to-be-adjusted battery is adjusted by adjusting the resistance of the passive equalization load connected to the first to-be-adjusted battery. The first to-be-adjusted battery is any to-be-adjusted battery. In addition, the overall resistance of the passive equalization load can also be changed by adjusting the number of resistors connected to the equalization loop.

[0054] In one possible implementation, in order to improve the passive equalization efficiency, after the equalization current is determined based on the battery temperature of the to-be-adjusted battery, the equalization current can also be fine-tuned based on the unbalance degree, that is, the fine-tuning amount is determined based on the unbalance degree, and the unbalance degree and the fine-tuning amount are positively correlated, and then the equalization current is added to the fine-tuning amount to obtain the adjusted equalization current.

[0055] In one possible implementation, a temperature sensor is arranged between at least two adjacent single batteries in the battery module, and the temperature sensor is used to collect the battery temperature of the corresponding at least two adjacent single batteries; and another implementation process of S102 includes:

[0056] The corresponding equalization current is determined based on the battery temperature of the first to-be-adjusted battery, the temperature of the passive equalization load corresponding to the first to-be-adjusted battery, and the unbalance degree of the first to-be-adjusted battery.

[0057] Specifically, in order to realize the battery adaptive equalization method provided by the embodiment, a temperature sensor is installed between the positive and negative electrodes of each single battery to measure the battery temperature of the single battery in the optimal case, but this method will cause excessive additional hardware investment and high cost. In actual cases, the temperature sensors of each single battery in the battery module are generally not one-to-one corresponding relationship of one single battery to one temperature sensor, because for the general battery temperature monitoring application scenario, the many-to-one temperature collection relationship can meet the actual application requirements. Therefore, in order to realize the accurate adjustment of the equalization current of the single battery with different temperatures on the basis of many-to-one single battery temperature collection and reduce the hardware cost, the following scheme is adopted.

[0058] The embodiment measures at least two adjacent single batteries by using one temperature sensor, that is, the battery temperatures measured by the at least two adjacent single batteries are the same. For example, when two adjacent single batteries share one temperature sensor to measure the battery temperature, the temperature sensor can be connected at the position of Figure 2 , the temperature between the negative and positive electrodes of the two adjacent temperature sensors is measured to determine the battery temperature of the two adjacent single batteries. Although this method reduces the amount of additional hardware access, the measurement accuracy is not accurate enough to determine the temperature difference of the two adjacent single batteries. In this case, if the temperature collected by the temperature sensor is directly used as the basis for adjusting the equalization current, it may cause the two single batteries with actual temperature difference to have the same equalization current in any case, which is particularly unfavorable in the case of two single batteries adjacent to each other, and may cause unnecessary temperature accumulation, which is not conducive to the realization of differentiated equalization and adaptive equalization of each single battery.

[0059] The embodiment can obtain the battery temperature measured by the temperature sensor corresponding to the battery to be adjusted and the input end temperature of the passive equalization load, and perform weighted summation on the battery temperature and the input end temperature to obtain the comprehensive temperature of the battery to be adjusted. Finally, the corresponding equalization current is determined according to the comprehensive temperature. Generally, the higher the input end temperature of the passive equalization load, the higher the temperature of the corresponding single battery, so the temperature of the single battery can be indirectly determined based on the input end temperature of the passive equalization load.

[0060] The passive equalization load is arranged on the BMS (Battery Management System, battery management system) circuit board, and the temperature measurement is relatively convenient.

[0061] Based on this, the equalization current can be fine-tuned based on the degree of imbalance. That is, the fine adjustment amount is determined based on the degree of imbalance, and the degree of imbalance is positively correlated with the fine adjustment amount. Then, the equalization current is added to the fine adjustment amount to obtain the adjusted equalization current.

[0062] Therefore, by introducing the imbalance of each individual cell and the temperature of the passive load balancing, this embodiment can effectively distinguish the balancing status of each individual cell and avoid the situation where multiple individual cells are uniformly balanced.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S102 above further includes:

[0064] The combined temperature of the first battery to be regulated is obtained by weighted summing of the battery temperature and the temperature of the passive balancing load corresponding to the first battery to be regulated.

[0065] The imbalance of the first battery to be adjusted is converted into a temperature compensation value;

[0066] The final temperature of the first battery to be regulated is obtained by subtracting the temperature compensation value from the overall temperature, and the corresponding equalization current is determined based on the final temperature of the first battery to be regulated; the final temperature is negatively correlated with the equalization current.

[0067] Specifically, the temperature compensation value is positively correlated with the degree of unevenness, that is, the temperature compensation value increases as the degree of unevenness increases.

[0068] The above method can improve the passive balancing efficiency of the battery while ensuring the safe operation of each individual battery cell, without adding too much additional hardware, reducing costs, and making it more widely applicable.

[0069] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0078] If the battery temperature of the first battery to be regulated is greater than the first temperature threshold in the current cycle, then the equalization current of the first battery to be regulated in the current cycle is set as the first equalization current.

[0079] If the battery temperature of the first battery to be regulated in the current cycle is not greater than the first temperature threshold, then the equalization current of the first battery to be regulated in the current cycle is set as the second equalization current.

[0090] If the ambient temperature of the current cycle is lower than the third preset temperature, then increase the equalization current of the first battery to be regulated in the current cycle.

[0091] The third preset temperature is lower than the second preset temperature.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the passive equalization module 130 includes:
