[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a control method of a battery thermal management system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment includes steps 101 to 104, and each step is specifically as follows:

[0053] Step 101: Obtain the total output power and required time required by the battery system; wherein the battery system includes a plurality of battery cells.

[0054] In this embodiment, the total output power and required time of the battery system may be generated in response to instructions transmitted by the application; or may be adaptively generated based on the application scenario in which the battery system is located.

[0055] Step 102: Calculate the output time of each battery cell according to the power of each battery cell and the rated power of each battery cell.

[0056] In this embodiment, the step of calculating the output time of each battery cell according to the power of each battery cell and the rated power of each battery cell includes:

[0057] Substitute the power of each battery cell and the rated power of each battery cell into the output time calculation formula to obtain the output time of each battery cell; wherein the output time calculation formula is specifically:

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, is the output time, For electricity, is the rated power.

[0060] Step 103: Determine a plurality of battery cell output combinations among all the battery cells according to the total output power, the required time and the output time of each of the battery cells.

[0061] In this embodiment, the battery cell output combination includes: a full power combination and a low power combination; according to the total output power, the required time and the output time of each battery cell, a plurality of battery cell output combinations are determined among all the battery cells, including:

[0062] Calculate the power ratio between the total output power and the rated power of the battery cells, and count the number of first battery cells and the number of second battery cells; wherein the first battery cells are: battery cells whose output time is greater than the required time; the second battery cells are: battery cells whose output time is less than the required time;

[0063] Determining whether the number of the first battery cells is greater than the power ratio;

[0064] If yes, then in the first battery cell, the fully charged battery selection operation is repeatedly performed until the number of output results reaches a preset number, thereby obtaining a plurality of fully charged battery combinations; wherein the number of the fully charged battery combinations is a preset number;

[0065] If not, all first battery cells are combined into a first combination; based on the ratio between the total output power and the rated power of the battery cell, the number of first battery cells and the required time, the required time difference is calculated, and the battery matching operation is repeated in the second battery cell to obtain a second combination, and the first combination is respectively merged with the second combination to generate a low-power combination.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the preset number is adaptively set by the user.

[0067] To better illustrate, assume that we have 10 battery cells, each with a rated power of 100W. Assume that the total output power required by the battery system is 500W, and the required time is 2 hours. Based on the power ratio, we calculate the power ratio to be 500W / 100W = 5.

[0068] Assume that there are 7 battery cells with an output time greater than 2 hours, and 3 battery cells with an output time less than 2 hours. According to the judgment, the number of 7 battery cells with an output time greater than 2 hours is greater than the power ratio 5, so we need to repeat the battery selection operation among these 7 battery cells until 5 battery cells are selected to obtain a sufficient power combination that meets the demand but has a large amount of power.

[0069] Assume that there are 3 battery cells with an output time greater than 2 hours, and 7 battery cells with an output time less than 2 hours. According to the judgment, the number of 3 battery cells with an output time greater than 2 hours is less than the power ratio of 5, so we calculate the difference in demand time as (500X2-100X3X2) divided by 100=4. Among the 7 battery cells with an output time less than 2 hours, we repeat the battery matching operation, and the total operating time of the selected battery cells should meet the demand of 4 hours. Finally, the selected 5 battery cells are combined with the battery combination that meets the 1-hour demand to obtain a low-power combination that meets the demand but has less power.

[0070] It can be understood that in the low-power combination, 5 battery cells are required to operate simultaneously. Since there are 3 battery cells with a life of more than 2 hours, the other 2 positions are powered by the low-power battery cells. When the low-power battery cells are out of power, they are supplemented by the other battery cells in the low-power combination, thereby completing the total output power required by the battery system.

[0071] In this embodiment, the fully charged battery selection operation includes:

[0072] Randomly select a number of first battery cells as a target first battery cell set; wherein the number of first battery cells in the target first battery cell set is a power ratio;

[0073] In the outputted position distributions of all battery cells corresponding to each fully-charged combination, determining whether the position distributions of all battery cells in the target first battery cell set overlap;

[0074] If yes, re-execute the fully charged battery selection operation;

[0075] If not, the target first battery cell set is output as a new sufficient-power combination, and the sufficient-power battery selection operation is performed again.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, the sufficient-power battery selection operation is as follows: Assuming the power ratio is 5, we randomly select 5 battery cells of the first type to form a target first battery cell set. We already have two battery combinations that meet the requirements, each with 5 battery cells. We need to compare whether the battery cell position distribution in the target first battery cell set overlaps with the battery cell position distribution in the two battery combinations. If there is an overlap, it means that the battery cells in the target first battery cell set have already appeared in the existing combination, so we need to reselect battery cells with sufficient power. If there is no overlap, it means that the target first battery cell set is a new combination, we output it as a new battery combination that meets the requirements, and re-execute the battery selection operation to obtain more battery combinations that meet the requirements.

[0077] In this embodiment, the battery combination operation includes:

[0078] Randomly selecting a second battery cell from the second battery cells that have not performed the battery matching operation as a second target battery cell;

[0079] The output time of the current second target battery cell is superimposed with the output time corresponding to all the second battery cells that have currently performed the battery matching operation to obtain the battery matching output time;

[0080] Determine whether the battery matching output time is greater than the required time difference;

[0081] If yes, then combine the current second target battery cell with all the second battery cells that have currently performed the battery matching operation, and output it as a second combination;

[0082] If not, re-execute the battery pairing operation.

[0083] In a specific embodiment, the following example is provided to illustrate the battery matching operation: Assuming that the demand time difference is 4 hours, we randomly select one of the second type of battery cells that have not undergone the battery matching operation as the second target battery cell. The total output time of the second type of battery cells that have currently undergone the battery matching operation is 2 hours. We superimpose the output time n of the second target battery cell with 2 hours to obtain the output time of the battery matching. If the output time 2+n of the battery matching is greater than 4 hours, then we combine the second target battery cell with the second type of battery cell that has undergone the battery matching operation and output it as the second combination. If the output time 2+n of the battery matching is less than 4 hours, then we need to re-execute the battery matching operation and select other second target battery cells to continue superimposing.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the low-power combination can be similar to the full-power combination, and a number of low-power combinations with battery cells at different positions can be generated to enrich the battery cell output combinations.

[0085] Step 104: In each group of battery cell output combinations, determine the temperature rise trend of each group of battery cell output combinations based on the output power of the battery cells, the output time of the battery cells and the position of the battery cells, and then select the optimal battery cell output combination as the output solution of the battery system based on each of the temperature rise trends.

[0086] In this embodiment, in each group of battery cell output combinations, determining the temperature rising trend of each group of battery cell output combinations based on the output power of the battery cell, the output time of the battery cell, and the position of the battery cell includes:

[0087] In each battery cell output combination, the output heat of each battery cell is determined according to the output power of each battery cell and the output time of each battery cell;

[0088] In each battery cell output combination, the output heat of each battery cell and the distance of each battery cell from the center of the battery system are substituted into a preset temperature calculation formula to obtain a change temperature, and a temperature rise trend is generated according to the relationship between the change temperature and the output time; wherein the preset temperature calculation formula is specifically:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, is the total temperature change, is the temperature change corresponding to the ith battery cell, is the output heat of the ith battery cell, is the distance between the ith battery cell and the center of the battery system, is the output time, is the rated power, is the attenuation coefficient.

[0091] In this embodiment, based on each of the temperature rising trends, selecting the optimal battery cell output combination as the output solution of the battery system includes:

[0092] Performing feature extraction on each of the temperature rising trends to obtain an average slope feature and an average value feature of each of the temperature rising trends;

[0093] Select the temperature rising trend with the lowest average slope characteristic and the lowest average value characteristic as the optimal battery cell output combination;

[0094] The optimal battery cell output combination is used as the output solution of the battery system.

[0095] It should be noted that the temperature rising trend can be a coordinate graph. By analyzing several curves in the coordinate graph, the temperature with the lowest average slope characteristic and the lowest average value characteristic is selected, which represents a trend with little change and low temperature. In this case, such a battery cell output combination is the best. By predicting the temperature change of the battery in advance before the battery is operated, the output layout of the battery cells in the battery system can be planned, which can effectively control the temperature generated by the battery system.

[0098] The data calculation module is used to calculate the output time of each battery cell according to the power of each battery cell and the rated power of each battery cell;

[0099] The battery combination module is used to determine a plurality of battery cell output combinations among all the battery cells according to the total output power, the required time and the output time of each of the battery cells;
