At the same time, the energy storage lithium batteries 1 and the heating lithium batteries 2 are matched to form corresponding management, which further improves the protection of the lithium battery pack.
[0044] It should be further explained that the control system realizes the real-time retrieval of battery status information, dynamically adjusts the charging strategy according to actual changes, ensures charging safety and efficiency, and adopts a verification algorithm to automatically correct charging parameters to ensure charging effect. The verification algorithm is provided with a thermal balance equation matching the heated lithium battery 2.

[0059] It is also necessary to further explain that the low-temperature positive electrode access line 7 and the low-temperature negative electrode access line 8 are both electrically connected to an external electric switch 9, and the external electric switch 9 is electrically connected to its own charger 10. The normal temperature positive electrode access line 5 and the normal temperature negative electrode access line 6 are both electrically connected to their own charger 10, and the external electric switch 9 is electrically connected to the terminal controller. When the energy storage lithium battery 1 is being charged, due to special reasons, the energy storage lithium battery 1 is not fully charged and the charging is disconnected. The terminal controller will realize the synchronous disconnection of the normal temperature electric control switch 3 and the low temperature electric control switch 4, and control the external electric switch 9 to form a path, so that the self-charger 10 can be connected between the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1, and then the heating lithium battery 2 is used to recharge the energy storage lithium battery 1 until the energy storage lithium battery 1 is fully charged or the power consumption of the heating lithium battery 2 is reduced to the minimum power.
[0060] The simulation experiment of low-temperature cascade charging of new energy vehicle power batteries is as follows:
[0061] The experiment was conducted at different ambient temperatures and different SOC points (State of Charge, which refers to the battery's state of charge, indicating the percentage of the battery's remaining capacity to the total battery capacity) of the lithium battery, including CCCV (Constant Current Constant Voltage) charge and discharge tests and DC+AC (Direct Current and Alternating Current) charging tests. Figure 1The assembled battery pack of the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 shown in the figure has multiple battery temperature sensors installed on the surface of the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 with insulating tape. The multiple battery temperature sensors respectively detect the temperature of the multiple heating lithium batteries 2 and the temperature of the multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 in real time. The battery pack is charged to the specified SOC point using the CCCV charging method, and then the temperature is adjusted to the specified value through the temperature box. After standing for two hours, the battery pack in the temperature box reaches the temperature required for the experiment. Subsequently, the battery pack is charged using the DC+AC charging strategy and the CCCV charging strategy until the battery pack voltage reaches 4.2V, and the temperature, voltage and current are recorded during the experiment. In this experiment, the initial SOC of the DC+AC charging strategy and the CCCV charging strategy are 0%, 20% and 50% respectively, the charging current is set to 2.2A, and the test is conducted at -10℃.
[0062] The specific operation of the experiment includes the following steps:
[0063] (1) Before conducting the experiment, correctly connect the positive and negative poles of the battery pack and the power cord, install the voltage sensor, and finally place the battery pack required for the experiment in the temperature chamber.
[0064] (2) The temperature of the external environment of the battery pack is set to -10°C through a temperature box. The battery pack is discharged at a constant current of 2.2A with a cut-off voltage of 2.5V. After the discharge is completed, the battery pack is left to stand in the temperature box for 1 hour.
[0065] (3) The temperature of the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 is detected in real time using a battery temperature sensor until the set temperature of the temperature box and the temperatures of the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 detected by the battery temperature sensor tend to be stable.
[0066] (4) At a current of 2.2A, the heating lithium battery 2 in the battery pack used in the experiment is charged with a constant current, and the temperature of the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 is monitored at all times. After the temperature of the energy storage lithium battery 1 rises to 0°C, the energy storage lithium battery 1 is charged with a constant current until the capacity in the battery pack reaches 20% of the initial SOC. After charging is completed, the battery pack is left to stand in the temperature box for about 10 minutes (this step is omitted for 0% SOC).
[0067] (5) At a current of 2.2 A, a portion of the battery pack charged to a specified initial SOC in step (4) is charged using a CCCV method, and a portion is charged using a DC+AC method, with a cut-off voltage of 4.2 V. After charging, the battery pack is left to stand for approximately 2 minutes.
[0068] (6) After the rest period, the battery pack used in the experiment was discharged at a constant current of 2.2A to prepare for the next charge of the battery pack. The discharge cut-off voltage was 2.5V. After the discharge was completed, the battery was left to rest for about 2 minutes.
[0069] (7) In order to stabilize the various indicators of the battery pack, the battery pack needs to be left to rest for 1 hour after each charge and discharge cycle.
[0070] (8) Change the initial SOC in step (4) to 50% and 0%, and repeat the charge and discharge experiments at different initial SOCs according to steps (4) to (6).
[0071] After completing the charge and discharge experiment, record the experimental data and select data samples for analysis and research.
[0072] After the battery pack completes the experiment with the initial SOC of 0%, 20%, and 50% at a temperature of -10°C, the temperature needs to be changed to continue the experiment to verify that the DC+AC charging strategy is better than the CCCV charging strategy at different low temperatures. It is worth noting that a new battery pack needs to be replaced before a new experiment to avoid the temperature change affecting the battery pack performance.
[0073] The specific experimental data are as follows (due to the huge amount of experimental data, only part of the data was intercepted):
[0074]
[0075] The charging current curve diagram drawn in combination with specific experimental data is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the curve diagram of charging capacitance drawn in combination with specific experimental data is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 shown.
[0076] Experimental conclusion:
[0077] In a low temperature environment, as the temperature decreases, the efficiency of the traditional charging method decreases significantly. For example, at minus 10°C, the traditional charging efficiency may drop to about 60% at room temperature. However, the charging method using the low-temperature ladder charging device for the power battery of a new energy vehicle can still maintain a charging efficiency of more than 80% at room temperature at the same temperature. After repeated experiments, it was found that when the temperature was minus 10°C, the charging efficiency was 80%-85% on average, which shows that the charging method of the low-temperature ladder charging device for the power battery of a new energy vehicle can maintain a high charging efficiency at low temperatures. Ladder charging can effectively extend the service life of the battery pack. By testing the battery pack that has undergone multiple ladder charging experiments, it was found that its capacity decay rate was significantly lower than that of the battery pack using the traditional single charging method. For example, after 500 ladder chargings, the battery pack capacity can still be maintained at about 87% of the initial capacity, while under the traditional charging method, the battery pack capacity may drop to less than 75% of the initial capacity.
[0078] To sum up, the working process of the low-temperature cascade charging device for new energy vehicle power batteries is as follows: before use, first set the low-temperature threshold value, and after the low-temperature threshold value is set, it will be stored in the dynamic memory for the central controller to call, and multiple battery temperature sensors detect the temperature of multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 and the temperature of multiple heating lithium batteries 2 in real time, and multiple battery temperature sensors transmit the detected temperature data to the central controller in real time. The central controller senses the temperature of multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 and the temperature of multiple heating lithium batteries 2 in real time. Before charging, the central controller senses the ambient temperature through the ambient temperature monitor and checks it with the temperature detected by the battery temperature sensor to determine whether there is any temperature abnormality in the lithium battery pack. When it is determined that there is an abnormality, the central controller transmits the alarm information through the communication module. During charging, when the central controller detects that the temperature of the lithium battery pack is a suitable charging temperature higher than the low-temperature threshold, it is turned on. After the lithium battery pack is matched with the charging power supply, the normal temperature electric control switch 3 and the low temperature electric control switch 4 both enter the access state, and multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 and multiple heating lithium batteries 2 are synchronously connected to charge. When the central controller detects that the temperature of the lithium battery pack is lower than the low temperature threshold, after the matching charging power supply of the lithium battery pack is turned on, the low temperature electric control switch 4 enters the access state, and multiple heating lithium batteries 2 are synchronously connected to charge. The normal temperature electric control switch 3 is in an open circuit state, and multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 are not connected to charging. Heat is generated as the charging of the multiple heating lithium batteries 2 proceeds, so that the overall temperature of the lithium battery pack is increased. When the temperatures of the multiple heating lithium batteries 2 are all higher than the suitable charging temperature of the low temperature threshold, the central controller calls the thermal balance equation to calculate the temperature of the heating lithium battery 2, and compares the calculated value with the corresponding detection value of the corresponding battery temperature sensor. If the two sets of data are within the deviation range, it means that both sets of data are valid.
[0079] Further, according to the specific structure of the lithium battery pack, the corresponding relationship between the temperature change of the heating lithium battery 2 and the temperature change of the energy storage lithium battery 1 is determined by preliminary experiments, as shown in the attached Figure 2 In the arrangement structure of the lithium battery pack shown in the figure, the temperature difference between the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1 is usually maintained between 8 and 10 degrees, that is, after the temperature of the heating lithium battery 2 rises to 8 to 10 degrees above the low temperature threshold, the temperature of the energy storage lithium battery 1 enters above the low temperature threshold, and the calculated relationship is compared with the temperature detected by the battery temperature sensor corresponding to the energy storage lithium battery 1 to achieve verification and confirmation. After that, the normal temperature electric control switch 3 enters the passage state, and multiple energy storage lithium batteries 1 are connected for charging. Under normal circumstances, if the deviation range between the calculated value and the corresponding detection value of the battery temperature sensor is ≤3°C, it is considered that the value is correct. During the charging process, after the power sensor corresponding to the heating lithium battery 2 detects that the heating lithium battery 2 is fully charged, the low temperature electric control switch 4 is controlled to enter the circuit breaker state, and the heating lithium battery 2 stops charging, and the energy storage lithium battery 1 After the corresponding power sensor detects that the energy storage lithium battery 1 is fully charged, the normal temperature electric control switch 3 is controlled to enter the disconnected state, and the energy storage lithium battery 1 stops charging. The energy storage lithium battery 1 and the heating lithium battery 2 are both charged to realize the overall charging of the lithium battery pack. During the charging process of the energy storage lithium battery 1, if the energy storage lithium battery 1 is not fully charged due to special reasons, that is, the charging is disconnected, the terminal controller will realize the synchronous disconnection of the normal temperature electric control switch 3 and the low temperature electric control switch 4, and control the external electric switch 9 to form a path, so that the self-charger 10 can be connected between the heating lithium battery 2 and the energy storage lithium battery 1, and then the heating lithium battery 2 is used to recharge the energy storage lithium battery 1, until the energy storage lithium battery 1 is fully charged or the power consumption of the heating lithium battery 2 is reduced to the minimum power, so as to realize the protection of the energy storage lithium battery 1.
