[0063] The first charging loop 2 can be used for boosting charging of the power battery, that is, the first charging loop 2 can perform boosting charging for a charging pile with insufficient output capability. In addition, as Figure 1 indicated, the second charging loop 3 can be selectively connected with the power battery 1 and the first charging loop 2, and the second charging loop 3 can be used to realize semi-fully-optional charging.

[0070] As another specific implementation method, such as Figure 4 The motor 221 shown may include an inductor, the first end of which can be connected to the second end of the first switch K1, meaning a separate inductor can replace the motor coil. Meanwhile, the motor control unit 222 may include a separate upper and lower IGBT module, the midpoint of which can be connected to the second end of the inductor. Furthermore, the upper arm of this upper and lower IGBT module can be connected to the positive terminal of the power battery 1, and the lower arm of the upper and lower IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module can be connected to the negative terminal of the power battery 1.

[0074] It should be noted that the first charging circuit 2 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is called the main charging circuit, and the second charging circuit 3 can be called the auxiliary charging circuit.

The two charging circuits in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be compatible with different capacity direct current charging piles, so as to improve the user experience.

[0076] Figure 5 is a structural block diagram of a charging control circuit according to another exemplary embodiment. As Figure 5 shown, the charging control circuit 10 can further include a control unit 4.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit 4 can be connected with the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4, the fifth switch K5 and the sixth switch K6 respectively.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control unit 4 can be configured to control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the fifth switch K5 to be in the closed state, and control the remaining switches to be in the off state, when the second charging circuit 3 is connected with the power battery 1, so as to realize full-pack charging of the power battery.

[0079] Optionally, when the second charging circuit 3 is connected with the second battery pack in the power battery, the control unit 4 can control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the sixth switch K6 to be in the closed state, and control the remaining switches to be in the off state, so as to realize half-pack charging of the second battery pack.

[0080] Optionally, the charging control circuit can further include an eighth switch K9 and a ninth switch K10 as shown in Figure 6 , wherein the first end of the eighth switch K9 can be connected with the second end of the fifth switch K5, and the second end of the eighth switch K9 can be connected with the positive electrode of the first battery pack. In addition, the first end of the ninth switch K10 can be connected with the negative electrode of the second battery pack, and the second end of the ninth switch K10 can be connected with the second end of the third switch K3.

[0081] In some embodiments, when it is identified that the first charging port 21 is connected with the direct-current charging pile and starts pile charging, and the second charging port 31 is not inserted with a gun or the inserted gun does not start pile charging, the control unit 4 can control each switch to enter the main charging circuit charging process, and the corresponding mode of the charging process can be the boost charging mode.

[0082] As shown in Figure 6 , in the boost charging mode, the control unit 4 can use the electric drive system 22 as a boost and buck module to increase the output voltage of the charging port. Specifically, the control unit 4 can control the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the off state, and control the multi-phase bridge arm, so that the power battery is subjected to boost full-pack charging. At this time, the charging mode can also be referred to as single-gun charging-main-gun boost charging.

[0083] It should be noted that the multi-phase bridge arm in the present embodiment can control a single-phase bridge arm or a multi-phase bridge arm.

[0084] Optionally, when it is identified that the second charging port 31 is connected with the direct-current charging pile and starts pile charging, and the first charging port 21 is not inserted with a gun or the inserted gun does not start pile charging, the control unit 4 can control each switch to enter the auxiliary charging circuit charging process. When charging is performed by using the second charging circuit 3, the control unit 4 can determine whether to perform full-pack charging or half-pack charging according to the output capability of the pile.

[0085] Specifically, if it is detected that the output capability of the pile meets the requirement of the whole-pack charging, the control unit 4 can control the switches to enter the auxiliary charging circuit whole-pack charging process, that is, the control unit 4 can be configured to: in the whole-pack charging mode, control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the fifth switch K5 to be in the closed state, so as to perform the whole-pack charging on the power battery 1.

[0086] In addition, if the charging control circuit further includes the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10, the control unit 4 can also control the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the closed state, so as to realize the auxiliary charging circuit whole-pack charging. At this time, the charging mode can also be called single-gun charging-auxiliary-gun whole-pack charging, and the charging process can be as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 7

[0087] Optionally, if it is detected that the output capability of the pile cannot meet the requirement of the whole-pack charging, the control unit 4 can control the switches to enter the auxiliary charging circuit half-pack charging process, that is, the control unit 4 can be configured to: in the half-pack charging mode, control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the sixth switch K6 to be in the closed state, so as to perform the half-pack charging on the power battery 1, that is, only the second battery pack is charged.

[0088] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure can also perform the half-pack charging on the first battery pack according to the requirement, and only the topology of FIG. 5 needs to be modified. Figure 7

In addition, the second end of the seventh switch K7 can be connected with the second end of the sixth switch K6, the negative electrode of the first battery pack and the positive electrode of the second battery pack respectively.

[0091] ​​​At this time, when the second charging circuit 3 is connected with the second battery pack in the power battery 1, the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the sixth switch K6 are controlled to be in the closed state, and the remaining switches are controlled to be in the off state, so as to perform the semi-pack charging on the second battery pack, and when the battery parameters of the second battery pack meet the preset equalization condition, the seventh switch K7 is controlled to be in the closed state, and the remaining switches are controlled to be in the off state, and at least one phase bridge arm in the multi-phase bridge arm is controlled, so as to realize that the second battery pack charges the first battery pack.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset equalization condition can include: a preset power threshold, the power of the second battery pack reaching the preset power threshold, used to represent that the battery parameters of the second battery pack meet the preset equalization condition; or, a preset power difference, the difference between the power of the first battery pack and the current power of the second battery pack being greater than the preset power difference, used to represent that the battery parameters of the second battery pack meet the preset equalization condition; or, a preset voltage difference, the difference between the voltage of the first battery pack and the current voltage of the second battery pack being greater than the preset voltage difference, used to represent that the battery parameters of the second battery pack meet the preset equalization condition.

[0094] Specifically, the control unit 4 can control the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the off state, and control the multi-phase bridge arm to realize the main gun boosting charging. At the same time, the control unit 4 can control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the fifth switch K5 to be in the closed state, so as to realize the auxiliary gun whole-pack charging.

[0096] In addition, when it is identified that the first charging port 21 and the second charging port 31 are both connected with the direct-current charging pile and the pile charging is started, and the output capacity of the charging pile connected with the second charging port 31 does not meet the requirement of the whole-pack charging, the control unit 4 can control each switch to enter the main gun boosting auxiliary gun semi-pack charging mode, which can also be called double-gun charging-main gun boosting auxiliary gun semi-pack charging.

[0097] Specifically, the control unit 4 can control the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the closed state, and control the multiphase bridge arm to realize the main gun voltage boost charging. At the same time, the control unit 4 can control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4 and the sixth switch K6 to be in the closed state to realize the auxiliary gun half-pack charging, and the specific charging circuit is as shown in Figure 10

[0098] In a specific embodiment, if it is determined that the current difference between the first battery pack and the second battery pack reaches a preset threshold, the control unit 4 can control the seventh switch K7 to be in the closed state, and the multiplex electric drive system 22 balances the voltage of the second battery pack to the first battery pack to realize the balance control of the battery circuit.

[0099] As an optional way, the control unit 4 can be configured to control the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the eighth switch K9 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the closed state in the voltage boost charging mode, and control the multiphase bridge arm to actuate the power battery 1 to perform voltage boost full-pack charging. In addition, in the direct connection half-pack charging mode, the control unit 4 can control the third switch K3, the fourth switch K4, the sixth switch K6 and the ninth switch K10 to be in the closed state to perform half-pack charging on the second battery pack of the power battery 1.

[0100] In addition, the charging control circuit 10 can further include a first capacitor C2 and a pre-charge module 5. The first end of the first capacitor C2 can be connected with the first end of the multiphase bridge arm to form a first bus end, and the second end of the first capacitor C2 can be connected with the first end of the multiphase bridge arm to form a second bus end. In addition, the first end of the pre-charge module 5 can be connected with the positive electrode of the first battery pack, and the second end of the pre-charge module 5 can be connected with the first bus end.
