[0084] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example

[0085] In the first place, see Figure 1-Figure 3e The present invention provides a household energy storage system 10. The household energy storage system 10 in this embodiment includes a support base 11, an energy storage battery pack 12 and a junction box 13 connected from bottom to top by an energy storage connector 14, wherein the junction box 13 is used to connect to an external inverter (not shown), and the junction box 13 is provided with a bus module 131.

[0086] The energy storage battery pack 12 is used to store and release electrical energy. The energy storage battery pack 12 includes m energy storage battery systems 121 (m is a natural number greater than 1) electrically connected to the above-mentioned bus module 131 and connected in parallel. The energy storage battery system 121 includes an energy storage control device 1211 (battery management device), an energy storage battery 1212 for storing electrical energy, a battery interface 1213 for transmitting the electrical energy of the energy storage battery 1212 to the bus module 131, and a first current monitoring device 1214 for monitoring the current output from the battery interface 1213.

[0087] The bus module 131 provided in the junction box 13 includes: a bus control device 1311, a power output port 1312 for outputting power, and a second current monitoring device 1313 for monitoring the current output from the power output port 1312. The bus control device 1311 includes a display unit 13111 (LCD display), a control unit 13112 (switch) and a main controller 13113. The above-mentioned energy storage control device 1211 is communicatively connected to the main controller 13113.

[0088] The support base 11 is used to support the entire household energy storage system 10 .

[0089] See Figure 2a-Figure 3e 485A and 485B are communication lines, through which the energy storage control device 1211 (battery management device) establishes communication with the main controller 13113; the energy storage control device 1211 will collect real-time dynamic information (voltage, temperature, current, etc.) of the energy storage battery 1212 and upload it to the main controller 13113, thereby executing protection strategies such as power on and off, charging and discharging, and data storage of the household energy storage system 10; at the same time, the main controller 13113 of the junction box 13 can display the received real-time dynamic information and operating status of the energy storage battery 1212 on the display unit 13111, allowing users to better understand the operating status of the entire product.

[0090] In this embodiment, the energy storage control device 1211 is configured to collect current monitoring information from the first current monitoring device 1214 and adjust the output of the battery interface 1213 based on the command issued by the bus module 131;

[0091] Furthermore, the energy storage control device 1211 is further configured to execute a first process based on the difference between the real-time monitoring current of the first current monitoring device 1214 and the rated current. The first process includes:

[0092] Based on the comparison result between the real-time monitoring current of the first current monitoring device 1214 and the rated current of the battery interface 1213, if the real-time monitoring current is greater than the rated current, determining the current range into which the real-time monitoring current falls;

[0093] According to the current ranges of different sizes into which the real-time monitoring current falls, a first response strategy corresponding to the current range of different sizes is obtained, and the first response strategy for the energy storage battery system 121 is executed.

[0094] The main controller 13113 is configured to execute a second process based on the current monitoring information output by the power output port 1312 and the current monitoring information of each energy storage control device 1211. The second process includes:

[0095] Based on the comparison result between the real-time output current of the second current monitoring device 1313 and the rated output current of the power output port 1312, if the real-time output current is greater than the rated output current, the second response strategy is obtained and executed according to the execution result of the first process.

[0096] The execution of the first and second processes will be described in detail in the following control method. As can be seen from the above, the household energy storage system 10 provided in this embodiment can achieve safety protection for each energy storage battery and the entire household energy storage system 10, and is safe to use and has good use effects.

[0097] Also, see Figure 2a-Figure 3e The energy storage connector 14 in this embodiment includes a plug-in connector socket 141 and a connector plug 142. The energy storage connector 14 integrates three connection functions: a total positive power current-carrying terminal 141a (142a), a total negative power current-carrying terminal 141b (142b) and a communication signal terminal 141c (142c), that is, it integrates a communication signal circuit and a power current-carrying circuit. The energy storage battery pack 12 of the household energy storage system 10 is connected to the junction box 13 through the connector socket 141 and the connector plug 142 to realize charging and discharging of the energy storage power circuit and real-time communication, thereby saving the production and installation of external power wiring harnesses and communication wiring harnesses, reducing the operation difficulty and electric shock risk of terminal installers; at the same time, the de-wiring design makes the appearance of the entire household energy storage system more simple and beautiful; in addition, the energy storage connector 14 is also provided with a grounding terminal 141d (142d), which can play a grounding protection role when AC power invades the cabinet of the household energy storage system 10.

[0098] Continue reading Figure 2a-Figure 3e By manipulating the control unit 13112 (self-resetting switch), the entire household energy storage system 10 can be turned on and off with one button. When the self-resetting switch is pressed, the bus module 131 and each energy storage battery system 121 are powered on and started.

[0099] Continue reading Figure 2a-Figure 3e In this embodiment, the total positive power current-carrying terminal 141a (142a) and the total negative power current-carrying terminal 141b (142b) of the energy storage connector 14 can be designed to carry out corresponding current-carrying design according to the corresponding load. For example, if the load rated current is different in different application scenarios, different sizes of the total positive power current-carrying terminal 141a and the total negative power current-carrying terminal 141b can be designed to determine the rated value. At the same time, the first terminal 141a-1 and the fourth terminal 141a-4 of the total positive power current-carrying terminal 141a, and the second terminal 141b-2 and the third terminal 141b-3 of the total negative power current-carrying terminal 141b can be connected in parallel through cables or conductive bars to double the rated value, thereby achieving the maximum current-carrying capacity of the current-carrying terminal and giving full play to the advantage of high-rate discharge of the battery cell.

[0100] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a household energy storage system, see Figure 4 , specifically including:

[0101] S100: Acquire the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2, ..., im) of each energy storage battery and the real-time output current I output from the power output port, where I = i1 + i2 + ... + im;

[0102] S200: For each energy storage battery, compare the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of each energy storage battery with the rated current in, and compare the real-time output current I with the rated output current In. Each energy storage battery may be set with a uniform rated current in, or each energy storage battery may be set with its own rated current in1, in2...inm. The rated current in, in1, in2...inm, and rated output current In are all set safety current values ​​for the household energy storage system. The rated output current In is generally set to be equal to / less than the sum of m ins or the sum of in1, in2...inm, but may also be set to be greater than the sum of m ins or the sum of in1, in2...inm.

[0103] Specifically,

[0104] Executing the first process includes:

[0105] S300: When a uniform rated current in is set for each energy storage battery, a comparison is performed between the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of each energy storage battery and the rated current in. If a real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) is greater than the rated current in, the current range within which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of the energy storage battery falls is determined;

[0106] When each energy storage battery is set to have its own rated current in1, in2...inm, based on the comparison result between the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of each energy storage battery and the corresponding rated current in1, in2...inm, if a real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) is greater than the corresponding rated current in1, in2...inm, then the current range within which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of the energy storage battery falls is determined;

[0107] S400: Obtaining a first response strategy for the current range within which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of the energy storage battery falls according to the current ranges of different sizes;

[0108] S500: Executing a first response strategy for the energy storage battery without affecting other energy storage batteries;

[0109] S510: After executing the first response strategy for the energy storage battery, the first process further includes:

[0110] Continue to obtain the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) of the energy storage battery, and execute the above-mentioned first process of the energy storage battery.

[0111] Executing the second process includes:

[0112] S600: Based on the comparison result between the real-time output current I and the rated output current In, if the real-time output current I is greater than the rated output current In, obtaining a second response strategy according to the execution result of the above-mentioned first process;

[0113] S700: Execute the second response strategy.

[0114] S800: If no real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) is greater than the rated current in, or is not greater than the corresponding rated current in1, in2...inm, then each energy storage battery and the household energy storage system are operating normally.

[0115] The control method for the household energy storage system provided in this embodiment first compares the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) of each energy storage battery with the rated current in. If the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) is greater than the rated current in, or greater than the corresponding rated current in1, in2...inm, then the current range into which the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) of the energy storage battery falls is determined. Then, based on the different levels of the current range within which the current falls, a first response strategy is executed for the energy storage battery without affecting other energy storage batteries, thereby achieving the first Furthermore, based on the comparison result between the real-time output current I outputted from the power output port and the rated output current In, if the real-time output current I is greater than the rated output current In, a second response strategy is further obtained and executed according to the execution result of the first response strategy of the above energy storage battery, thereby achieving a further second-level safety protection for each energy storage battery and the safety protection of the entire household energy storage system, thereby avoiding safety accidents and reducing safety risks, and ensuring safety protection under extreme conditions such as short circuits, ensuring user safety and good user experience.

[0116] In this embodiment, specifically, the current range within which the above-mentioned real-time monitoring current (i1, i2 ... im) falls includes a first range (n1-n2), a second range (n2-n3), and a third range (n3-n4) that are sequentially ordered from small to large and continuous, representing different levels of the current range within which the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2 ... im) falls. For example, taking the example of each energy storage battery being set with a uniform rated current in, the first range (n1-n2) is (1.0 in - 1.2 in), the second range (n2-n3) is [1.2 in - 1.5 in], and the third range (n3-n4) is (1.5 in - 2.0 in];

[0117] Therefore, according to the current ranges of different sizes into which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of the energy storage battery falls, a first response strategy for the current range falls is obtained, including:

[0118] When the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) falls into the first range (n1~n2), a current over-limit warning is executed;

[0119] When the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) falls into the second range (n2-n3), the household energy storage system is controlled to reduce the output power of the energy storage battery;

[0120] When the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) falls into the third range (n3~n4), the household energy storage system is controlled to deactivate the energy storage battery and disconnect the energy storage battery from the power output port. The main controller may send instructions to the battery management device, fuse, and circuit breaker for disconnection protection, forming triple protection.

[0121] The above real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) and first response strategy information are collected by the main controller and displayed on the display screen, allowing users to better understand the operating status of each energy storage battery and the household energy storage system.

[0122] As described above, based on the different levels of current ranges into which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of the energy storage battery falls, corresponding first response strategies of different levels are adopted to specifically protect each energy storage battery and the household energy storage system, ensuring safety and better user experience.

[0123] In this embodiment, when the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) falls within the second range (n2-n3), controlling the household energy storage system to reduce the output power of the energy storage battery specifically includes:

[0124] The main controller sends a power reduction signal to the battery management device of the energy storage battery, causing the battery management device to reduce the output current of the energy storage battery;

[0125] After receiving the power reduction signal, the battery management device reduces the output current of the energy storage battery, including:

[0126] Obtaining parameter information of the energy storage battery, the parameter information including at least one of voltage and temperature, and determining whether the parameter information is greater than a rated value;

[0127] If the parameter information is greater than the rated value, executing the third response strategy to make the parameter information lower than or equal to the rated value;

[0128] The third coping strategy mentioned above may be implemented by providing a variable resistor to reduce the output voltage of the energy storage device and by using a cooling system such as a fan to reduce the temperature.

[0129] Continue to obtain the real-time monitoring current of the energy storage battery and execute the first process of the energy storage battery, so that the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2...im) of the energy storage battery falls into the first range (n1~n2) until it is no greater than the rated current in, ensuring that all energy storage batteries and the entire household energy storage system return to normal operation.

[0130] In this embodiment, in the first case, when the current range within which the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) falls also includes a fourth range that is continuous with the third range and larger than the third range, then taking the example of setting a uniform rated current in for each energy storage battery, the fourth range is greater than 2.0in.

[0131] According to the execution result of the first process, the second response strategy obtained includes:

[0132] When the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of any energy storage battery falls within the fourth range (for example, i1 is greater than 2.0in), the second response strategy is to disconnect the electrical connection between each energy storage battery and the power output port, and control the household energy storage system to disable all energy storage batteries. For example, in the event of extreme conditions such as internal or external short circuits, the above response strategy is adopted to safely protect all energy storage batteries and the entire household energy storage system, avoiding product damage and ensuring user safety.

[0133] In this embodiment, in the second case, according to the execution result of the first process, the second response strategy obtained includes:

[0134] When the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of one or more energy storage batteries falls within the second range, comparing the difference ΔI between the real-time output current I and the rated output current In with the sum Sum (Δi) of the differences between the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of each of the one or more energy storage batteries and the rated current in, or the sum Sum (Δi) of the differences between the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of each of the one or more energy storage batteries and the rated current in;

[0135] Based on the comparison results of the above steps, when Sum (△i) is greater than or equal to △I, disconnecting the power output port from each of the one or more energy storage batteries;

[0136] After the first response strategy corresponding to the energy storage battery is executed, and the real-time monitored current (i1, i2...im) of each energy storage battery of the one or more energy storage batteries falls within the first range or the second range, the connection between the power output port and each energy storage battery is reconnected.

[0137] As described above, the linkage relationship between the energy storage battery and the power output port is utilized to avoid the energy storage battery being managed by its various battery management devices and ignoring the output current of the power output port. This prevents the phenomenon that the power output port outputs excessive power and causes dangerous situations due to the situation where multiple energy storage batteries exceed the rated current but no corresponding measures are taken. This not only ensures the effective operation of each energy storage battery, but also ensures the safe output of the entire household energy storage system.

[0138] Furthermore, according to the execution result of the first process, the second response strategy obtained also includes:

[0139] After the first response strategy corresponding to the energy storage battery is executed, if the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of one of the one or more energy storage batteries still falls within the third range, the connection between the one energy storage battery and the power output port is disconnected until the real-time monitored current (i1, i2, ...im) of the one energy storage battery falls within the first range or the second range.

[0140] In this step, when the monitored current of one or more energy storage batteries exhibits a significant leakage, the connection between the power output port and the energy storage battery is promptly disconnected. This prevents the excessive current of the energy storage battery from further increasing and potentially endangering the output of the remaining energy storage batteries or even the entire household energy storage system. This also ensures that, even if one or more of the energy storage batteries experience an output problem, the remaining safety output batteries can continue to output current, thereby continuously supplying power to the outside world. Furthermore, after the battery management device within the energy storage battery stabilizes the current within the energy storage battery, the connection with the power output port is restored. This allows for real-time adjustment of the power supply within the entire household energy storage system, ensuring stable, continuous, and efficient current output. The current stabilization can be determined by the battery management device detecting that the output current of the energy storage battery has remained within the first or second range for a predetermined period of time, e.g., 10 seconds, and then determining that the output current of the energy storage battery has stabilized.

[0141] In the third respect, see Figure 5 The present invention further provides a control device 20 for a household energy storage system, which can implement the control method of the second embodiment, specifically including:

[0142] An acquisition unit 21 is used to acquire the real-time monitoring current (i1, i2, ...im) of each energy storage battery and the real-time output current I output from the power output port;

[0144] The first judgment unit 23 is configured to compare the real-time monitored current of each energy storage battery with the rated current. If the real-time monitored current is greater than the rated current, determine the current range within which the real-time monitored current of the energy storage battery falls, and then obtain a first response strategy for the current range within which the real-time monitored current of the energy storage battery falls according to the current range within which the real-time monitored current of the energy storage battery falls;

[0147] The second execution unit 26 is configured to execute the second response strategy.
