Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of the economy, the issue of energy security has become particularly important. The starting and stopping of current hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are basically controlled based on the battery state of charge (SOC) of the power battery being lower than a certain value, such as 70%, or higher than a certain value, such as 80%. There is no strategy developed in combination with the current actual maximum energy recovery power available for the power battery, the operating status of the fuel cell system, and the status of the vehicle's drive system.

[0003] However, the SOC value of the power battery will deviate as the vehicle is used for a longer time and needs to be corrected by charging at a charging station. Fuel cell vehicles convert chemical energy into electrical energy for the entire vehicle through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell system under the action of a catalyst. In actual operation, most vehicles only go to hydrogen stations to refuel and not to charging stations. As time goes by, the SOC deviation will gradually increase and cannot truly reflect the current charging capacity of the power battery.

[0032] When the high-voltage power-off state is high-voltage power-off and the preset high-voltage permission state receiving time is greater than the second preset receiving time, the high-voltage circuit between the fuel cell and the vehicle is cut off to complete the fuel cell shutdown.

[0052] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0053] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0054] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: control the vehicle high voltage power-on and detect whether the fuel cell meets the stack starting conditions; when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stack starting conditions, receive the stack operation status sent by the fuel cell control unit; stack the fuel cell according to the stack operation status, and detect whether the fuel cell meets the stack shutdown conditions; when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stack shutdown conditions, receive the high voltage power-off permission status sent by the fuel cell control unit; shut down the fuel cell according to the stack shutdown conditions and the high voltage power-off permission status.

[0055] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the vehicle controller is used as the execution subject for explanation below.

[0056] Due to the inaccuracy and insecurity caused by the existing hydrogen fuel cell vehicle start-stop control strategy relying only on the power battery SOC value, this application provides a solution, which adopts the control of vehicle high voltage power-on and detects whether the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions; when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions, the stack operation state sent by the fuel cell control unit is received; the fuel cell stack is started according to the stack operation state, and whether the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions is detected; when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions, the high voltage power-off permission state sent by the fuel cell control unit is received; the technical means of fuel cell stacking is stopped according to the stacking conditions and the high voltage power-off permission state, which solves the limitation of relying only on the power battery SOC value for start-stop control, and avoids the problems of overcharging of the power battery and frequent start-stop of the fuel cell system caused by SOC deviation. A more accurate and reliable fuel cell system start-stop control is achieved, the service life of the fuel cell system and the energy management efficiency of the whole vehicle are improved, thereby enhancing the operating safety and economy of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

[0057] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a fuel cell start-stop stack control device of a hydrogen fuel vehicle, and a vehicle controller, etc. The following takes the vehicle controller as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle of the present application.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fuel cell start-stop stack control method of the fuel vehicle includes steps S10 to S50:

[0060] Step S10, controlling the vehicle to be powered on with high voltage, and detecting whether the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions;

[0061] It should be noted that a fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy. It generates electricity through electrochemical reactions and is often used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as one of the power sources. The starting conditions refer to a series of pre-set conditions. Only when all these conditions are met will the fuel cell system start. These conditions include but are not limited to the pressure, temperature, hydrogen and oxygen supply conditions, system fault conditions, etc. of the fuel cell system.

[0062] It can be understood that controlling the vehicle's high voltage power-on means issuing a command through the vehicle's control unit to connect the vehicle's high voltage power supply system so that the vehicle's high voltage battery starts to supply power to the vehicle's electrical system. High voltage power-on is the basis for the operation of electric vehicles and their high voltage systems, ensuring that the vehicle's electrical equipment can work normally.

[0063] In a feasible implementation, step S10 may include steps S11 to S13:

[0064] Step S11, controlling the vehicle to be powered on with high voltage;

[0065] It is understandable that the steps of controlling the high voltage power-on of the vehicle can be: after detecting that the vehicle key is powered on, the fuel cell control unit (FCU) and the hydrogen management system (HMS) are awakened through the low voltage relay, and after the FCU and HMS are turned on, the FCU can receive instructions from the vehicle control unit (VCU). Then the main negative relay, the main positive relay and the auxiliary drive relay are closed to complete the high voltage power-on of the vehicle.

[0066] The low-voltage wake-up source of FCU and HMS is controlled by VCU, which delays power-off to avoid the low-voltage power supply being cut off directly when the key is turned off and FCU and HMS have not completed the work required before shutdown, such as purge and blowing.

[0067] Step S12, obtaining the switch state of the vehicle electric vehicle mode, the battery state of charge, the preset state of charge, the communication state of the fuel cell control unit, and the charging power and preset charging power of the battery management system;

[0068] It should be noted that the switch state of the electric vehicle mode refers to the current state of the EV (electric vehicle) mode switch in the vehicle cab. The battery state of charge (SOC) is a percentage representation of the current remaining power of the battery and is one of the important parameters monitored by the battery management system (BMS). The preset state of charge is the SOC value preset in the control strategy, which is used as the basis for starting the fuel cell system. For example, if the preset SOC is lower than a certain value (such as 80%), the fuel cell system may be started to replenish the battery power. The communication status of the fuel cell control unit refers to the communication status between the fuel cell control unit (FCU) and the vehicle controller (VCU). Whether the communication status is normal is very important to ensure that the fuel cell system can receive instructions from the VCU. Charging power of the battery management system This is the charging power that the current battery management system allows the battery to accept, provided by the BMS. Preset charging power This is the charging power value preset in the control strategy, which is used to compare with the charging power.

[0069] Step S13, determining that the fuel cell meets the stacking condition when the switch state is an invalid state, the battery charge state is less than the preset charge state, the communication state is a preset communication state, and the charging power is greater than a preset charging power.

[0070] It is understandable that after step S11, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a pure electric high voltage power-on state. The switch state is an invalid state, indicating that it is necessary to determine whether the EV switch is invalid, that is, the vehicle needs to enter the fuel-electric mode.

[0071] Determine whether the battery state of charge is less than a preset state of charge. In this embodiment, the preset state of charge is 80%. When the battery SOC reaches 80%, the fuel cell system is shut down, that is, the fuel cell power generation is stopped to avoid overcharging. When the battery SOC drops from 80% to 70%, the fuel cell system is restarted to replenish the battery power.

[0072] In this embodiment, the preset communication state is a non-communication timeout state. Therefore, the communication state being the preset communication state indicates that normal communication between the VCU and the FCU is ensured so as to correctly transmit control signals.

[0073] The charging power is greater than the preset charging power, which means that if the charging power of the battery is greater than the preset value, it indicates that the battery can accept more charging. The charging power allowed by BMS can be expressed as: BMS allowed charging power = BMS available energy feedback power - motor energy feedback power. The preset charging power is set according to the power of the power battery, the battery at a certain temperature such as 10°C, and the battery soc at a certain value such as 90%. In this embodiment, the specific value of the preset charging power is not limited. The strategy here is to solve the problem of SOC deviation caused by the vehicle not being charged at the charging pile for a long time. When this condition is not met, the stacking is not allowed to avoid overcharging caused by the available energy feedback power of the battery being lower than the minimum net output power allowed by the fuel cell, and the combustion control battery system is immediately stopped after the stacking. The number of starts of the fuel cell system is limited, and frequent starts and stops will reduce reliability and service life.

[0074] It should be noted that energy regeneration power refers to the power that the battery can receive during the energy regeneration process. When the car slows down or brakes, the vehicle's kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy by the motor and then stored back in the battery. The BMS available energy regeneration power specifically refers to the maximum power that the battery can accept in its current state without exceeding the battery's charging limit or causing the battery to overheat. The BMS will evaluate this power based on the battery's current temperature, SOC and other parameters.

[0075] When the vehicle is decelerating or braking, the motor converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, a process called energy recovery or regenerative braking. The motor energy recovery power refers to the electrical energy power generated by the motor during the energy recovery process. This depends on the vehicle's deceleration, the efficiency of the motor and the current state of the battery.

[0076] Step S20, when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stacking condition, receiving the stack operation status sent by the fuel cell control unit;

[0077] It should be noted that the stack operation status indicates the stack system operation status, which includes but is not limited to the ready state (ready), the starting state, the power-on self-test state and the operating state. The ready state indicates that the stack is in a ready state, has completed the self-test, and the stack is ready to receive the start-up command. The starting state indicates that the stack is in the process of starting, and may be heating to the operating temperature, building pressure, or executing other startup procedures. This stage is a transitional state, indicating that the stack has not been fully started, but is in progress. The power-on self-test state indicates that the stack is performing a self-check before starting. This stage may include checking electrical connections, fluid lines, sensor readings, etc. to ensure that all components are in normal condition and ready for the next start. The operating state indicates that the stack is currently in normal operation and is generating electrical energy. This is the state after the stack is successfully started, which means that the stack has completed the startup process and all system parameters are within the normal working range.

[0078] It is understandable that when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the stacking conditions, a stacking start instruction is sent to the FCU, and the FCU coordinates the various controllers of the fuel cell system to complete the stacking process. However, when the fuel cell does not meet the stacking conditions, the VCU sends a stacking stop instruction to the FCU, and returns to the detection step to repeatedly detect whether the stacking conditions are met.

[0079] Step S30, starting up the fuel cell stack according to the fuel cell stack operation state, and detecting whether the fuel cell stack meets the shutdown condition;

[0080] It can be understood that starting the fuel cell stack according to the stack operation status means that the VCU receives the stack system operation status (FCU_Sts) from the FCU in real time, and determines whether the stack is successful through FCU_Sts. If successful, the whole vehicle enters the fuel-electric mode. FCU_Sts=0 indicates the ready state (ready), FCU_Sts=1 indicates the starting state, FCU_Sts=7 indicates the power-on self-test state, and FCU_Sts=2 indicates the running state.

[0081] In addition, it can be understood that detecting whether the fuel cell meets the shutdown condition means that during and after the stacking process, it is possible to detect in real time whether the fuel cell meets the shutdown condition, and then shut down the stack in time.

[0082] In a feasible implementation, step S30 may include steps A31 to A33:

[0083] Step A31, when the stack operation state is the first operation state, the second operation state and the third operation state, sending a stack start instruction to the fuel cell control unit so that the fuel cell control unit feeds back a new stack operation state, and recording the instruction sending time;

[0084] It should be noted that the first operating state, the second operating state and the third operating state represent a ready state, a starting state and a power-on self-test state respectively.

[0085] It can be understood that sending a stacking instruction to the fuel cell control unit means that when the VCU receives any of the above states fed back by the FCU, it will send a stacking instruction to the FCU to try to start the stack to the operating state again. After the FCU receives the stacking instruction, the FCU will restart the stacking or continue to start the stacking, and feed back the new operating state to the VCU so that the VCU can understand whether the stack is successfully started.

[0086] In addition, it can be understood that recording the instruction sending time means that the VCU records the time when the stacking instruction is sent. This time point is used for subsequent monitoring and diagnosis. In particular, if the expected operating status update is not received within the predetermined time, the VCU may need to take further measures.

[0087] Step A32, obtaining the instruction sending time period according to the instruction sending time;

[0088] It should be noted that the instruction sending time period refers to the time period from sending the stack starting instruction to the time when the fuel cell control unit returns to a certain operating state, such as a stable operating state.

[0089] It is understandable that when the VCU sends a stacking instruction to the FCU, it records the time when the instruction was sent. This can be achieved through a timestamp, which marks the specific date and time when the instruction was sent. By comparing the current time with the instruction sending time, the VCU calculates the time period after the instruction was sent. This time period is used to evaluate whether the battery stack startup process is within the normal time range. If the difference between the current time and the instruction sending time (i.e., the time period) exceeds the preset time period, but the battery stack still does not reach the expected operating state, the VCU may judge that the stacking has failed or been delayed, and take corresponding measures, such as reissuing the instruction, sending a fault diagnosis instruction, or recording fault information.

[0090] Step A33, when the instruction sending time period is less than the preset sending time period and the new stack operating state is the second operating state or the fourth operating state, send a stack start instruction to the fuel cell control unit so that the fuel cell control unit starts the fuel cell stack according to the stack start instruction.

[0091] It should be noted that the preset sending time period is a time period preset according to the startup characteristics of the battery stack, and is used to evaluate whether the battery stack responds to the stacking instruction within a reasonable time. In this embodiment, the preset sending time period is 60 seconds.

[0092] It can be understood that the instruction sending time period being less than the preset sending time period means that the VCU will compare the instruction sending time period with the preset sending time period to determine whether the battery stack responds to the stacking instruction within a reasonable time.

[0093] In addition, it is understandable that, if a new battery stack operating status is received within the preset sending time period, and the new battery stack operating status is in the starting state or the running state, the VCU continues to send the battery stack start command to the FCU, and the stack is successfully started. If this condition is not met, the VCU sends the battery stack shutdown command to the FCU to enter the stack shutdown process, and the stack startup process ends if the stack startup fails.

[0094] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the stacking process of the first embodiment of the fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle of the present application, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown:

[0095] After the start, the key is powered on, the VCU wakes up, and the high-voltage process of pure electric driving is executed. The VCU wakes up the FCU and HIMS through the low-voltage relay. The FCU wakes up and performs the pre-stack preparation work. The FCU receives the battery stack control status instruction (VCU_cmdFCu) from the VCU. After the FCU is started, it can send the FCU operation status message (FCU_RuSts) with ID 0x18FFA1D1, and also send the battery stack system operation status (FCU_Sts). When the main negative relay is closed, the main positive relay is closed, and the auxiliary drive relay is closed, the vehicle is ready for driving. If none of them is closed, the VCU is woken up again and the high-voltage process of pure electric driving is executed. After the vehicle is ready, that is, VCU_ReadyStatus is equal to 1, which means that the high-voltage power-on of pure electric driving is completed. When it is determined whether the SOC is less than 80%, the EV switch is invalid, the FCU communication is not exceeded, and the BMS allows the charging power to be greater than the set value, the VCU enters the fuel-electric management mode. Send VCU_cmdFCU=0 to shut down the fuel cell stack and initialize the VCU demand power, that is, VCU_DemandPower=the minimum net output power allowed by the fuel cell. When fcuSts is equal to 2, the VCU stacking is completed and VCU_cmdFCU=1 is sent to start the fuel cell stack. And the required power of the whole vehicle is assigned. At this time, the stacking is completed and the fuel-electricity mode is entered. When fcuSts is equal to 0 or equal to 1 or equal to 7, send VCU_cmdFCU=1 to start the fuel cell stack. If the instruction that fcuSts is equal to 2 is received within 60 seconds, the VCU stacking is completed. When fcuSts is not equal to 0 and not equal to 1 and not equal to 2 and not equal to 7, the stacking is completed and the VCU controls to shut down the fuel cell stack. And send VCU_cmdFCU=0 to shut down the fuel cell stack and assign VCU_DemandPower=0.

[0096] In a feasible implementation manner, step S30 may further include steps B31 to B32:

[0097] Step B31, obtaining the switch state of the vehicle electric vehicle mode, the battery state of charge, the preset state of charge, the communication state of the fuel cell control unit, the communication state retention time, and the charging power of the battery management system and the preset charging power;

[0098] It should be noted that the communication status holding time refers to how long the communication status between the FCU and the VCU lasts. If the communication times out or lasts too long, it may indicate that there is a problem with the system.

[0099] Step B32, determining that the fuel cell meets the shutdown conditions when the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage power-on state, the switch state is in a valid state, the battery charge state is greater than or equal to the preset charge state, the charging power is less than the preset charging power, the communication state is the preset communication state and the communication state is maintained for a time greater than the preset communication time, and the stack operating state is not at least one of the second operating state, the third operating state, and the fourth operating state.

[0100] It should be noted that the preset communication time refers to the time during which the good communication state between the FCU and the VCU (not a communication timeout) has lasted. In the present embodiment, the preset communication time is 60 seconds.

[0101] It can be understood that the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage power-on state, which means that the vehicle's high-voltage system is not activated, that is, the vehicle may have stopped or is not ready to drive. The switch state is in a valid state, which means that the EV switch is in a valid state, that is, the vehicle needs to enter the pure electric mode. The charging power is less than the preset charging power, which means that the battery SOC is ≥ 80%.

[0102] The charging power less than the preset charging power indicates that the BMS allows the charging power, that is, the BMS available energy feedback power - the motor energy feedback power < the minimum net output power allowed by the fuel cell. The strategy here is to solve the SOC deviation problem caused by the vehicle not being charged at the charging station for a long time. When the battery SOC is still less than 80%, but its actual available energy feedback power is lower than the minimum net output power allowed by the fuel cell, the VCU control needs to shut down the fuel cell system in advance to avoid the power battery overcharging and reporting serious faults, which will cause unnecessary high voltage of the whole vehicle. The VCU demand power (VCU_DemandPower) is calculated based on the BMS available charging power, the vehicle drive system and the power required by the high-voltage accessories. The FCU receives the VCU power request and executes it as required.

[0103] The communication status is the preset communication status, which means that the communication between the fuel cell control unit (FCU) and the vehicle control unit (VCU) is in the preset state, which indicates that the communication system is normal. The communication status is maintained for a time greater than the preset communication time, which means that the communication between the VCU and the FCU is continuous and normal during this 60 seconds or longer period.

[0104] The stack operation state is not the second operation state, the third operation state and the fourth operation state. The stack operation state is not the starting state, the power-on self-test state and the operation state.

[0105] It can be understood that if at least one of the above conditions is met, it is determined that the fuel cell meets the shutdown condition, that is, the fuel cell can be safely stopped.

[0106] Step S40, when it is detected that the fuel cell meets the shutdown condition, receiving the high voltage power-off permission state sent by the fuel cell control unit;

[0107] It should be noted that the high voltage power-off permission state (FCU_HVShutdownAllow) is a signal sent by the FCU to indicate whether the system is allowed to disconnect the high voltage power supply. This state is usually determined based on system safety and operational requirements. When FCU_HVShutdownAllow is 0, it means that the power can be disconnected.

[0108] Step S50, shutting down the fuel cell according to the shutdown condition and the high voltage power-off permission state.

[0109] It should be noted that once the fuel cell shutdown conditions are met and the FCU confirms that the high voltage power outage is allowed, the VCU will send a shutdown instruction to the FCU, instructing it to start the shutdown process.

[0110] In a feasible implementation manner, step S50 may further include step A51:

[0111] Step A51, when the shutdown condition is that the communication state is a preset communication state and the communication state is maintained for a time greater than the preset communication time, a shutdown instruction is sent to the fuel cell control unit according to the high-voltage power-off permission state, so that the fuel cell control unit controls the vehicle to power off the high voltage according to the shutdown instruction and completes the shutdown operation.

[0112] It can be understood that when the shutdown condition is that the communication state is the preset communication state and the communication state is maintained for a time greater than the preset communication time, it means that if the FCU is not communicating for a timeout, then when the high-voltage power-off permission state is power-off permission, the VCU continues to send a shutdown command to the FCU, and the VCU allows the high voltage to be lowered internally, and the shutdown is completed.

[0113] The present embodiment provides a fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, which solves the problem that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles cannot accurately control the start and stop of fuel cells under different operating conditions through technical means of comprehensive monitoring and intelligent judgment of key parameters such as the vehicle's high-voltage power-on status, the status of the fuel cell system, the battery's state of charge, the charging power, and the communication status. It optimizes the start-up and shutdown operations of the fuel cell while ensuring system safety, improves the reliability and service life of the fuel cell system, and avoids the problem of overcharging of the power battery or frequent start-stopping of the fuel cell system due to SOC deviation, thereby achieving the beneficial effect of improving the energy efficiency and performance of the entire vehicle.

[0114] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 3 The step S50 of the fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle includes steps S51 to S53:

[0115] Step S51, when the shutdown condition is that the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage powered-on state, obtaining a high-voltage powered-off state of the vehicle;

[0116] It should be noted that the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage power-on state, which means that the vehicle's high-voltage system is not in an activated state, that is, the vehicle may have stopped or is not in a state of preparing to drive. If the shutdown condition is that the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage power-on state, proceed to the subsequent steps. Obtaining the high-voltage power-off state means that it is necessary to confirm whether the vehicle is already in a high-voltage power-off state.

[0117] Step S52, obtaining a preset high voltage permission state receiving time according to the high voltage power-off permission state;

[0118] It should be noted that the preset high-voltage permission state receiving time is a pre-set time value used to determine how long the fuel cell system should wait before performing a power-off operation after receiving a high-voltage power-off permission state signal.

[0119] Step S53 , shutting down the fuel cell stack according to the high voltage power-down state and the preset high voltage permission state receiving time.

[0120] It is understandable that the specific operation of stopping the stack needs to be determined based on the current high voltage power-off state and the preset high voltage allowable state receiving time.

[0121] In a feasible implementation, step S53 may include steps S531 to S533:

[0122] Step S531, obtaining a first preset receiving time and a second preset receiving time, wherein the first preset receiving time is less than the second preset receiving time;

[0123] It should be noted that the first preset receiving time is a preset time value, which is used to determine how long the fuel cell system should wait to perform the shutdown operation after the high-voltage power-off permission state signal sent by the fuel cell control unit (FCU). This time value is usually set shorter to enable a quick response when the state allows. The second preset receiving time has the same function as the first preset receiving time, but is longer than the first preset receiving time. In this embodiment, the first preset receiving time is 300s and the second preset receiving time is 600s.

[0124] Step S532, when the high-voltage power-off state is non-high-voltage power-off and the preset high-voltage permission state reception time is greater than the first preset reception time, sending a shutdown instruction to the fuel cell control unit, so that the fuel cell control unit completes the fuel cell shutdown according to the shutdown instruction;

[0125] It can be understood that when the high-voltage power-off state is non-high-voltage power-off and the preset high-voltage allowed state reception time is greater than the first preset reception time, it means that the vehicle is in a non-high-voltage state, and the VCU has not received FCU_HVShutdownAllow==0 (power off allowed) within 300s.

[0126] In addition, it is understandable that when it is judged that this is the case, the VCU continues to send the shutdown command of the fuel cell stack to the FCU after 300 seconds, and the high voltage is allowed to be lowered inside the VCU, and the shutdown of the stack is completed.

[0127] Step S533, when the high voltage power-off state is high voltage power-off and the preset high voltage permission state receiving time is greater than the second preset receiving time, the high voltage circuit between the fuel cell and the vehicle is cut off to complete the fuel cell shutdown.

[0128] It can be understood that the high voltage power-off state is high voltage power-off and the preset high voltage allowed state reception time is greater than the second preset reception time, indicating that the vehicle is in the low voltage state and FCU_HVShutdownAllow==0 (power off allowed) is not received within 600s.

[0129] It should be noted that a DCDC converter (Direct Current to Direct Current converter) is a power conversion device that is used to convert direct current at one voltage level into direct current at another voltage level. The DCDC converter plays a vital role in the fuel cell system, allowing the system to work properly under different voltage requirements. DCDC enable refers to the working state of activating or starting the DCDC converter. In the enabled state, the DCDC converter will begin to perform its power conversion function.

[0130] In addition, it is understandable that when it is judged that this is the case, after 600s, the VCU continues to send the stack shutdown command to the FCU. The VCU allows the high voltage to be lowered, that is, the vehicle is allowed to disconnect the main positive relay, cutting off the fuel cell system from the vehicle's high-voltage circuit. The DCDC enable is then stopped, the auxiliary drive relay is disconnected, the main negative relay is disconnected, and the high-voltage power is turned off. After that, the VCU disconnects the FCU and HMS wake-up power supplies by controlling the low-voltage relay to complete the stack shutdown.

[0131] It is understandable that, by disconnecting the main positive relay after the FCU high voltage power-off is allowed, it is possible to avoid forcibly disconnecting the high voltage output circuit of the stack when the FCU still has power output, thereby damaging the stack system. By stopping the DCDC enable after the FCU low voltage power-off is allowed, it is possible to avoid the battery feeding caused by the long-term purge of the FCU.

[0132] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the shutdown process of the second embodiment of the fuel cell start-stop control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle of the present application. Figure 4 As shown:

[0133] After the VCU stack startup is completed, the fuel cell mode sends VCU_cmdFCU=1 to start the stack. After the FCU is started, it continuously sends the FCU operation status message with ID 0x18FFA1D1, which contains the operation status of the stack system, namely FCU_Sts. Determine whether FCU Sts is not equal to 0 or not equal to 2 or not equal to 7, and whether VCU_ReadyStatus is equal to 0, and whether ReadyStatus is equal to 1 and the EV switch is valid, whether the FCU communication timeout exceeds 60s, and whether the BMS allows the charging power to be less than the minimum net output power allowed by the fuel cell battery. If one of the above judgment conditions is met, enter the step of shutting down the stack. The VCU controls the shutdown of the stack and sends VCU_cmdFCU=0 to shut down the stack, and assigns VCU_DemandPower to 0. After receiving the high-voltage power-off permission FCU_HVShutdowA1low sent by FCU, determine whether the FCU is not in communication timeout and receives the FCU_HVShutdowA1low signal, determine whether the signal reception time in the non-high-voltage state exceeds 300s, and determine whether the signal reception time in the high-voltage state exceeds 600s. When any of the above conditions is met, enter the VCU internal high-voltage state.

[0134] This embodiment provides a fuel cell start-stop stack control method for a hydrogen fuel vehicle, which obtains the high-voltage power-off state of the vehicle in a non-high-voltage power-on state, and determines the specific timing of executing the shutdown according to the preset high-voltage permission state reception time, thereby realizing a delay control of waiting for 300 seconds in a non-high-voltage state or waiting for 600 seconds in a high-voltage state, thereby ensuring that the high-voltage circuit is safely cut off after the fuel cell system completes all necessary operations, avoiding damage to the stack system, and reducing the battery feeding problem caused by long-term purge of the FCU. The problem of ensuring that the fuel cell stops working safely and efficiently before the high-voltage system is powered off is solved, and the beneficial effect of improving the reliability of the fuel cell system and extending its service life is achieved. If the whole vehicle is not in a low-voltage state, the stack is shut down. If the whole vehicle is in a low-voltage state, the whole vehicle disconnects the main positive relay and cuts off the fuel-electricity and the high-voltage circuit of the whole vehicle. The VCU exits the fuel-electricity management mode, sends VCUcmdFCU=0, and assigns VCU DemandPower equal to 0. Stop DCDC enable, disconnect the auxiliary drive relay, disconnect the main negative relay, and the high-voltage power-off is completed. After the vehicle is powered off at low voltage, the VCU disconnects the FCU and HMS wake-up sources through the low-voltage relay, the VCU goes into sleep mode, and the shutdown of the stack is completed.
