Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, providing these embodiments will make the disclosure thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the dimensions and relative dimensions of layers and regions may be exaggerated. The same reference numerals denote the same elements throughout.

[0037] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, area, layer, or portion from another element, component, area, layer, or portion.

Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise) and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0039] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. When used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0040] To fully understand this invention, detailed structures and steps will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution proposed by this invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an energy storage device that solves the problems of excessive cost, excessive space and excessive weight caused by the use of dual energy storage components in the prior art.

[0043] The technical solution provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, an energy storage device 100 is provided, comprising:

[0044] The energy storage unit 1000 includes multiple energy storage modules 1001 connected in series.

[0045] The controller 1005 has a first bus terminal connected to the positive terminal of the energy storage unit 1000 and a second bus terminal connected to the negative terminal of the energy storage unit 1000. It is used to convert the DC power of the energy storage unit 1000 into AC power to supply power to the high-voltage load 103.

[0046] The controller 1005 can be an inverter for driving the motor, and the high-voltage load 103 can be a motor. The controller 1005 converts DC power into AC power, making it suitable for driving a three-phase AC motor or connecting to the AC power grid. The inverter can adjust the frequency of the output AC power to meet the needs of different applications. Common output frequencies include 50Hz and 60Hz. The inverter can also adjust the voltage of the output AC power to adapt to different load requirements and power system standards. Common output voltages include low voltage (e.g., 220V, 230V) and high voltage (e.g., 380V, 400V). Inverters typically have various control functions, including start / stop control, speed control, direction control, and operation protection. These functions can be operated and adjusted via control signals or external interfaces. The inverter can achieve stable output voltage and frequency through electronic control and feedback mechanisms to ensure the normal operation of the connected motor and provide a stable power supply. Inverters typically have electrical isolation functions, providing safe electrical isolation protection to reduce mutual interference between the power supply and load equipment.

[0047] The integration of controller 1005 with multiple energy storage modules 1001 is as follows: Based on the technical parameters of controller 1005 and energy storage modules 1001, including rated voltage, rated capacity, and rated current, ensure that the specifications of controller 1005 and the battery match to ensure a safe and reliable connection. Energy storage modules 1001 output DC power, while controller 1005 needs to convert DC power to AC power. Correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of energy storage modules 1001 to the DC input terminals of controller 1005. Use appropriate cables, connectors, and terminals to ensure a reliable DC connection for integrating controller 1005 and multiple energy storage modules 1001. After controller 1005 converts DC power to AC power, it needs to be connected to a three-phase power supply or load. Determine the phase lines (L1, L2, L3) and ground line (N) of the AC output terminals according to the specifications of controller 1005. Use cables and connectors to correctly connect the AC output terminals of controller 1005 to the corresponding terminals of the three-phase power supply or load. Ensure the safety and reliability of the integrated terminals. Implement appropriate safety precautions according to specifications and standards, such as correctly selecting cable specifications and rated current, using insulating sleeves, and locking and preventing loosening of connectors, to ensure stable connections and the ability to withstand the required current load.

[0048] As an example, the controller 1005 includes a first bridge arm, a second bridge arm, and a third bridge arm. The first ends of the first bridge arm, the first ends of the second bridge arm, and the first ends of the third bridge arm are connected together to form a first bus terminal. The second ends of the first bridge arm, the second ends of the second bridge arm, and the second ends of the third bridge arm are connected together to form a second bus terminal. The third end of the first bridge arm is connected to the first phase coil of the motor, the third end of the second bridge arm is connected to the second phase coil of the motor, and the third end of the third bridge arm is connected to the third phase coil of the motor.

[0049] The first bridge arm includes a first power unit P1 and a second power unit P2. The second bridge arm includes a third power unit P3 and a fourth power unit P4. The third bridge arm includes a fifth power unit P5 and a sixth power unit P6. The first end of the first power unit P1 is the first end of the first bridge arm. The second end of the second power unit P2 is the second end of the first bridge arm. The second end of the first power unit P1 and the first end of the second power unit P2 are connected together to form the third end of the first bridge arm. The first end of the third power unit P3 is the first end of the second bridge arm. The second end of the fourth power unit P4 is the second end of the second bridge arm. The second end of the third power unit P3 and the first end of the fourth power unit P4 are connected together to form the third end of the second bridge arm. The first end of the fifth power unit P5 is the first end of the third bridge arm. The second end of the sixth power unit P6 is the second end of the third bridge arm. The second end of the fifth power unit P5 and the first end of the sixth power unit P6 are connected together to form the third end of the third bridge arm.

[0050] The technical advantages of Embodiment 1 of this invention are as follows: In the prior art, energy storage devices and controllers are usually designed and installed separately, requiring independent controller enclosures and connection lines. Through integrated design, the two can be combined into a single unit, reducing the number of components and space occupation, simplifying the system structure, improving overall integration, and increasing system space efficiency. Integrating the energy storage device and controller can reduce the required number of components, material costs, and labor installation costs, while improving production and assembly efficiency. The self-sufficient low-voltage power supply within the integrated energy storage device means that the controller can be powered by its internal battery or other energy storage devices, giving the energy storage device a degree of independence and reliability, allowing it to operate normally even without a complete vehicle assembly. This is highly practical for some special application scenarios or systems requiring independent power supply. Integrating the energy storage device and controller can reduce assembly steps and connection lines during installation, simplifying installation complexity. Furthermore, because the integrated design reduces interfaces and connections between components, it lowers the failure rate and simplifies maintenance and repair processes.

[0056] The first charging switch 1008 has its first end connected to the positive terminal of the energy storage unit 1000 and its second end connected to the first DC charging port.

[0057] The second charging switch 1009 has its first end connected to the negative terminal of the energy storage unit 1000 and its second end connected to the second DC charging port.

[0059] The charging device 104 is connected to a first DC charging port, a second DC charging port, a first AC charging port, and a second AC charging port. When the first DC charging port and the second DC charging port are connected to the DC power supply device, and multiple energy storage modules 1001 are detected to need charging, the first charging switch 1008 and the second charging switch 1009 are controlled to be turned on, so that the DC power supply device supplies power to the multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0060] When the first AC charging port and the second AC charging port are connected to the AC power supply equipment, and multiple energy storage modules 1001 are detected to need charging, the AC power supply equipment supplies power to the multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the energy storage unit 1000 also includes:

[0062] The second fuse 1003 is connected in series with multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0063] The second fuse 1003 is used to disconnect when the current of multiple energy storage modules 1001 is too high, so as to protect the multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0064] Furthermore, the energy storage unit 1000 also includes:

[0065] A current sensor 1002 is connected in series with multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0067] The energy storage device 100 also includes:

[0068] The third fuse 1006 is connected between the positive terminal of the energy storage unit 1000 and the first output terminal of the charging module 1007.

[0069] The third fuse 1006 is used to disconnect when the current output by the charging module 1007 is too high, thereby protecting the safety of the energy storage module.

[0070] In addition to the technical effects of Embodiment 1, this second embodiment also includes the following technical effects: This second embodiment achieves efficient charging management of multiple energy storage modules by using a charging switch, a charging module, and an AC / DC charging port. When multiple energy storage modules are detected to require charging, the control system can activate the corresponding charging switch, enabling DC or AC power supply equipment to charge the multiple energy storage modules, thereby improving charging efficiency and management capabilities. The second fuse, third fuse, and current sensor in this second embodiment play a crucial role in protecting the energy storage modules. The second fuse is connected in series between multiple energy storage modules and can automatically disconnect when the current is too high. The third fuse can automatically disconnect when the charging current is too high, thus protecting the energy storage modules from damage caused by current overload. The current sensor detects the current flowing through the energy storage module and sends the information to the control module to monitor and manage the power of multiple energy storage modules. By connecting the charging module and AC / DC charging port to the energy storage module, this solution offers flexibility and scalability. Different types of charging equipment can be connected as needed to meet various charging requirements. Furthermore, the multiple energy storage modules within the energy storage unit can be expanded and configured according to actual conditions to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0081] Furthermore, the energy storage device 100 also includes:

[0082] The power controller is connected to the control terminal of the main switch 1010. When the power controller controls the main switch 1010 to be turned on, the multiple energy storage modules 1001 supply power to the motor through the controller 1005. When the power controller controls the main switch 1010 to be turned off, the multiple energy storage modules 1001 stop supplying power to the motor through the controller 1005.

[0083] The power controller plays a crucial role in power management within the system. By controlling the state of the main switch 1010, it controls the output power of the energy storage module 1001. It can control the power supply status of the energy storage module 1001 as needed, thereby controlling the operation or shutdown of the motor. The power controller's function is to coordinate and manage the power transfer between the energy storage module 1001 and the motor, ensuring that the motor receives the necessary power supply when appropriate and stopping power supply when not needed, thus achieving motor control and energy-saving management.

[0090] Furthermore, the energy storage unit 1000 also includes:

[0091] A current sensor 1002 is connected in series with multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0092] The current sensor 1002 is used to detect the current flowing through the multiple energy storage modules 1001 and send it to the control module, which detects the power of the multiple energy storage modules 1001.

[0093] The energy storage device 100 also includes:

[0094] The third fuse 1006 is connected between the positive terminal of the energy storage unit 1000 and the first output terminal of the charging module 1007.

[0095] The third fuse 1006 is used to disconnect when the current output by the charging module 1007 is too high, thereby protecting the safety of the energy storage module.

[0096] In addition to the technical effects of Embodiments 1 and 2, this third embodiment also includes the following technical effects: The main switch, through control signals, can precisely control the output power of the energy storage module to meet the controller's requirements by turning it on or off.

[0098] Embodiment 4 of the present invention provides a drive motor, including the energy storage device and motor drive controller provided in Embodiments 1 to 5, wherein the motor drive controller is connected to the controller.

[0099] The motor drive controller is also integrated into the energy storage device to drive the controller to output different voltages and currents.

[0100] The technical advantages of Embodiment 4 of this invention are as follows: It integrates the energy storage device and the motor drive controller into a single unit. This reduces the number of components and wiring, simplifies the system structure, reduces system complexity, and improves system reliability and stability. Because the energy storage device and motor drive controller are integrated, installation space is saved. An additional controller enclosure or space is no longer needed to house the motor drive controller, thus reducing the system's size and weight. Integrating the energy storage device and motor drive controller reduces the number of required independent components and equipment, thereby lowering system costs. Furthermore, the integration of multiple functions also saves on maintenance and installation costs. The tight integration of the energy storage device and motor drive controller optimizes circuit layout and signal transmission, improving system response speed and control accuracy.

[0101] Example 5

[0102] Embodiment 5 of the present invention provides a new energy vehicle, including the energy storage device provided in Embodiments 1 to 3 or the drive motor provided in Embodiment 4.

[0103] In Embodiment 5 of this invention, power distribution equipment, a controller, a charging module, and an energy storage module are integrated into an energy storage device. The energy storage device is switched on and off via a switching device within the device. Energy storage modules are connected in series via copper (aluminum) busbars to form a total positive and total negative connection. Each energy storage module is equipped with a current detection device, a fuse, and a switching device. These three components can be located before, after, or in the middle of the energy storage module (but before the total positive and total negative connection point), and can be arranged centrally or distributed, connected in series with the energy storage modules. The charging equipment includes a DC charging device and an AC charging device. The DC charging interface is divided into positive and negative terminals, each connected in series with a switching device and then connected to the total positive and total negative connection of the energy storage module. The AC interface input is connected to the charging module. After inversion by the AC charging module, the output terminals are connected to the total positive and total negative connection of the energy storage device, and a fuse is installed between the output positive terminal and the total positive terminal of the energy storage device. The battery is equipped with a high-voltage load interface, which can supply power to high-voltage loads such as PTC. The positive and negative terminals of the load interface are connected to the total positive and negative terminals of the energy storage module. Similarly, a fuse is installed between the positive terminal of the interface and the total positive terminal of the energy storage device. The controller is directly connected to the total positive and negative terminals of the energy storage device. The controller's three-phase output interface is arranged on the surface of the energy storage device like other interfaces. By integrating these high-voltage devices into the energy storage device, the conventional power distribution devices connecting high-voltage equipment and the connecting devices in the energy storage device are eliminated. Furthermore, the enclosure structure of the AC charging device and the electrical control unit is reduced, significantly lowering the overall cost of the high-voltage system.

[0104] Figure 6 As one example of this application, the energy storage device contains two or more energy storage modules 1001 connected in series. A current sensor 1002, a second fuse 1003, and a main switch 1010 are connected in series with the energy storage modules. Their positions can be arranged in the middle or before and after the energy storage modules; they can be arranged separately or simultaneously in the middle of the energy storage device. When there is no control signal input, the controller can control the power devices to be in a turned-off state, and the controller has no output. When the controller receives a control signal to turn on, the controller becomes turned on, that is, the controller realizes the control of the energy storage device to connect and disconnect the external power supply.

[0105] In this embodiment, one less switching device is used compared to existing technologies, resulting in lower costs. Simultaneously, the controller can be expanded in multiple levels, with two or more controllers integrated in parallel within the energy storage device. Each controller controls the corresponding output interfaces on the energy storage module. This allows for the driving of more motors.

[0106] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
