[0068] The following detailed description and drawings of the embodiments of the present application are used to illustrate the principles of the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application, that is, the present application is not limited to the described embodiments.

[0069] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means more than two; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. "Vertical" is not strictly vertical, but is within the allowable error range. "Parallel" is not strictly parallel, but is within the allowable error range.

[0070] The directional words appearing in the following description are all directions shown in the figures, and do not limit the specific structure of this application. In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a physical connection, an electrical connection, or an integral connection; it can also be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0071] With the development of battery technology, various performances of power modules are constantly improving, especially in terms of battery self-heating. Regarding the battery self-heating solution in the dual-drive motor usage scenario, its heating solution is single and costly. How to control battery heating in a dual-motor system, reduce the battery heating cost, and increase the heating rate of large-capacity batteries is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0072] In addition, regarding the battery self-heating solution in the dual-drive motor usage scenario, the coordinated control of the dual-motor controller is very important. It is very important to reduce the noise, vibration and harshness NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) and rotor heating problems generated during the battery heating process and increase the battery heating rate. These are directly related to the customer's experience.

[0073] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a charging and discharging circuit, method, computing device and storage medium thereof, which utilize the alternating current generated by the charging and discharging circuit between the dual-drive motor and the battery to achieve self-heating of the battery. The present application can flexibly adjust the charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element without changing the original motor structure; while reducing costs, it can flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to perform a battery self-heating scheme and improve the heating rate.

[0074] Specifically, by leading out the neutral point of the motor and controlling the heating after the switch is closed, the heating change point of the dual motors is reduced, the heating cost is reduced, and the battery heating rate is increased.

[0075] Specifically, the first heating module and the second heating module in the embodiment of the present application can be equivalent to two sets of drive motors. By controlling the on and off of the different phase bridge arms of the switch module of the motor, the charge and discharge circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element can be flexibly adjusted without changing the original motor structure; while reducing costs, the charge and discharge of the dual-drive motor can be flexibly adjusted to perform a battery self-heating scheme to increase the heating rate. The power module in the embodiment of the present application may include but is not limited to lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, lead-acid batteries, nickel-ion batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries or sodium-ion batteries. In terms of scale, the battery in the embodiment of the present application can be a battery cell monomer, or a battery module or a battery pack. In terms of application scenarios, the battery can be used in power devices such as automobiles and ships. For example, it can be used in power vehicles to power the motors of power vehicles as a power source for electric vehicles. The battery can also power other electrical devices in electric vehicles, such as air conditioners and car players in the car.

[0076] For the convenience of description, the following will be described by taking the application of the power module to a new energy vehicle (power vehicle) as an example.

[0077] The drive motor and its control system are one of the core components of new energy vehicles. Its driving characteristics determine the main performance indicators of the vehicle. The motor drive system of new energy vehicles is mainly composed of electric motors (i.e. motors), power converters, motor controllers (e.g., inverters), various detection sensors, and power supplies. The motor is a rotating electromagnetic machine that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is used to realize the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. During operation, it absorbs electrical power from the electrical system and outputs mechanical power to the mechanical system.

[0078] Optionally, the electrical devices and computing equipment include but are not limited to vehicles, ships, or spacecraft.

[0079] Generally, the existing battery heating control strategy in the battery heating process has the problem of low battery heating rate during battery pulse heating, high rotor magnetic steel temperature and large vibration noise. These problems are prominent in the market, reducing the customer's experience of use. Therefore, in comparison, the present application proposes a charging and discharging circuit, method, computing device and storage medium thereof, which can flexibly adjust the charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element without changing the original motor structure by controlling the on and off of the different phase bridge arms of the switch module; can flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to perform battery self-heating scheme and improve the heating rate while reducing costs.

[0080] In principle, the battery heating scheme of the embodiment of the present application can be based on a battery system in which multiple branch batteries are connected in parallel to supply power. It is necessary to change the physical connection of the battery so that the two-branch batteries are connected in reverse series during heating. Then, the charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element is flexibly adjusted by turning on and off the switching element to realize the flow of pulse current between multiple battery packs.

[0081] The reverse series structure of batteries is to reorganize the connection of circuits so that the positive electrode of one group of batteries is connected to the positive electrode of another group of batteries, or the negative electrode of one group of batteries is connected to the negative electrode of another group of batteries.

[0082] In principle, the battery heating scheme of the embodiment of the present application is also based on a system where multiple branch batteries independently power the motor, so there is no need to change the connection method between the batteries. By leading out the neutral points of the dual motors to form a loop connection between the two battery packs, and controlling the heating process, using single-phase current or multi-phase to generate the same-phase current to weaken the synthetic magnetic field amplitude generated by the stator coil being energized during the heating process of the motor, thereby suppressing the NVH and rotor heating problems caused by the original motor heating scheme.

[0083] For ease of description, in the battery heating solution of the embodiment of the present application, the dual-branch battery of the power battery system includes a first battery and a second battery.

[0084] The implementation scheme of the embodiment of the present application is described as a whole as follows.

[0085] The battery system BMS (Battery Management System) collects battery pack temperature, SOC, voltage, and current signals to determine whether the battery is working properly and whether the battery meets the heating conditions; the motor controller MCU (Motor control unit) collects motor voltage and current to determine whether the motor is in a stationary state; the vehicle controller VCU (Vehicle control unit) determines whether to turn on the pulse heating device to heat the battery based on the heating request sent by the BMS and the motor working status sent by the MCU.

[0086] When the BMS sends a heating request, the VCU determines that the battery SOC status and the motor operating status meet the heating conditions;

[0087] Different control methods are used for specific dual-motor circuit topology structures, including two dual-motor circuit systems: one is a dual-motor system powered by multiple branch batteries in parallel, and the other is a dual-motor system in which multiple branch batteries independently power the motors.

[0088] For the first situation where multiple branches of batteries are connected in parallel for power supply, it is necessary to first change the connection method of the battery pack, switching the battery pack from parallel mode to reverse series mode; for the second structural topology where the battery pack supplies power to two motor systems separately, there is no need to change the battery connection method.

[0089] Finally, the MCU controls the on and off of the first motor controller switch module and the second motor controller switch module to realize mutual charging and discharging of the two battery groups, and generate heat inside the battery.

[0090] During heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature is abnormal. If so, it sends the temperature rise abnormality information to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller forwards the temperature rise abnormality information to the MCU, the motor controller stops working, and the battery pack switches to the initial form.

[0091] During heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature meets the requirements. If so, the vehicle controller forwards the stop driving pulse heating information to the motor controller, stops heating, and switches the battery pack to the initial mode. Otherwise, the above heating process is repeated until the heating temperature meets the requirements.

[0092] The charging and discharging scheme of the embodiment of the present application improves the problem of low heating rate of the original battery, so that the temperature rise rate of the battery pack is significantly improved.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the charging and discharging circuits, methods, computing devices, and storage media thereof reuse a second motor drive system to implement a battery self-heating technology with adjustable battery temperature rise rate at a relatively low cost.

[0094] The following describes the charging and discharging circuit and the charging and discharging principle of the present application as a whole, so as to better understand the charging and discharging scheme under the dual-drive motor of the present application.

[0095] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than an exhaustive list of all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0096] To facilitate understanding and description, in terms of functional principle, the first heating module and the second heating module of the embodiment of the present application can be equivalent to two groups of drive motors, the first energy storage element and the second energy storage element can be equivalent to their respective motor windings, and the first switch module and the second switch module can be equivalent to their respective motor controllers.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first regulating switch module is connected between the neutral point of the motor winding of the first energy storage element 202 and the neutral point of the motor winding of the second energy storage element 302 .

[0102] The embodiment of the present application leads out the neutral point of the motor and then performs circuit heating control after closing the connection through the first regulating switch module, which not only reduces the heating change point of the dual motors, reduces the heating cost, but also improves the battery heating rate; while reducing the cost, the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motors are flexibly adjusted to perform a battery self-heating solution to meet the heating needs in various scenarios.

In the dual-drive motor scenario, the circuit structure is not changed and the charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element is flexibly adjusted to realize the self-heating of the battery of the dual motors. By adjusting the first switch module 201 and the second switch module 301 in the two groups of motors to flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the power module 10, it is possible to flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to perform a battery self-heating scheme while reducing costs, thereby improving the heating rate.

[0130] The charging and discharging method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the second regulating switch module, adjusts the charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element to realize self-heating of the battery of the dual motor; while reducing costs, it can flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to perform a battery self-heating scheme and improve the heating rate.

[0131] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of steps for regulating the charge and discharge between batteries of the power module 10 according to one or more embodiments.

[0132] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the power module 10 includes a first battery B1 and a second battery B2, and S2 regulates the charge and discharge between the batteries of the power module 10, including:

[0133] S21: in the first period, controlling the first battery B1 to discharge to the second battery B2.

[0134] S22: in the second period, the second battery B2 is controlled to discharge into the first battery B1; wherein the control of the first period and the second period is continuously and alternately performed.

[0135] The charging and discharging method provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the first battery B1 to discharge to the second battery B2 during the first period; and controls the second battery B2 to discharge to the first battery B1 during the second period, thereby being able to flexibly adjust the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to perform a battery self-heating scheme and improve the heating rate while reducing costs.

[0136] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of steps of controlling the first battery B1 to discharge into the second battery B2 according to one or more embodiments.

[0137] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, specifically, controlling the first battery B1 to discharge to the second battery B2 in S21 includes:

[0138] S211: In the first period, the first battery B1 is controlled to discharge to the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302;

[0139] S212: in the second period, controlling the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 to discharge to the second battery B2.

[0140] The embodiment provided in this application specifically discloses that when the first battery B1 is controlled to discharge to the second battery B2, the first battery B1 is controlled to discharge to the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 during the first period; the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 are controlled to discharge to the second battery B2 during the second period. During the self-heating process of the power module 10, continuous self-heating is achieved through different controls at different periods. The battery self-heating scheme is realized by flexibly adjusting the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to improve the heating rate.

[0141] Applied to topological circuits, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the battery common negative pole dual motor heating topology. The first switch module 201 includes a first bridge arm group, and the second switch module 301 includes a second bridge arm group; controlling the first battery B1 to discharge to the second battery B2 includes: in the first period, controlling the upper bridge arm of any phase in the first bridge arm group and the lower bridge arm of any phase in the second bridge arm group to be turned on; in the second period, controlling the lower bridge arm of the second bridge arm group to be turned off, and turning on the upper bridge arm corresponding to the turned off bridge arm.

[0143] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of steps of controlling the second battery B2 to discharge into the first battery B1 according to one or more embodiments.

[0144] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, controlling the second battery B2 to discharge to the first battery B1 in S22 includes:

[0145] S221 : in a first period, controlling the second battery B2 to discharge to the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 .

[0146] S222: in the second period, controlling the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 to discharge to the first battery B1.

[0147] The embodiment provided in this application specifically discloses that when the second battery B2 is controlled to discharge to the first battery B1, the second battery B2 is controlled to discharge to the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 during the first period; the first energy storage element 202 and the second energy storage element 302 are controlled to discharge to the first battery B1 during the second period. During the self-heating process of the power module 10, continuous self-heating is achieved through different controls at different periods. The battery self-heating scheme is realized by flexibly adjusting the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor to improve the heating rate.

[0148] Applied to topological circuits, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the battery common negative pole dual motor heating topology. The first switch module 201 includes a first bridge arm group, and the second switch module 301 includes a second bridge arm group; controlling the second battery to discharge to the first battery includes: in the first period, controlling the upper bridge arm of any phase in the second bridge arm group and the lower bridge arm of any phase in the first bridge arm group to be turned on; in the second period, controlling the turned-on lower bridge arm in the first bridge arm group to be turned off, and turning on the upper bridge arm corresponding to the turned-off bridge arm.

The first switch module includes a first bridge arm group, and the second switch module includes a second bridge arm group; the second battery is controlled to discharge to the first battery, including a first period, controlling the upper bridge arm of any phase in the first bridge arm group and the lower bridge arm of any phase in the second bridge arm group to be turned on; in the second period, controlling the turned-on upper bridge arm in the first bridge arm group to be turned off, and turning on the upper bridge arm corresponding to the turned-off bridge arm.

[0150] The following are specific Figure 2 Taking the dual-motor heating topology structure with multi-branch batteries powered in parallel as an example, the charging and discharging principle of the embodiment of the present application is further explained based on the case of a common negative electrode of the batteries. Figure 4 The principle of dual motor heating with multi-branch batteries independently supplying power to the motors is referenced Figure 2 .

[0151] First: the battery system BMS (Battery Management System) collects the battery pack temperature, power SOC, voltage, and current signals to determine whether the battery is working normally and whether the battery meets the heating conditions; the motor controller MCU (Motor control unit) collects the motor voltage and current to determine whether the motor is in a stationary state; the vehicle controller VCU (Vehicle control unit) determines whether to turn on the pulse heating device to heat the battery based on the heating request sent by the BMS and the motor working status sent by the MCU.

[0152] Then: When the BMS sends a heating request, the VCU determines that the battery SOC state and the motor working state meet the heating conditions;

[0153] Secondly: different control methods are used for specific dual-motor circuit topology structures, including two dual-motor circuit systems, one is a dual-motor system powered by multiple branch batteries in parallel, and the other is a dual-motor system in which multiple branch batteries independently power the motors.

[0154] For the first type Figure 2 In the case of multiple branch batteries connected in parallel for power supply, it is necessary to first change the connection mode of the battery pack, switching the battery pack from parallel mode to reverse series mode; for the second case, Figure 4 The structural topology shown in the figure is that the battery pack supplies power to two motor systems independently, so there is no need to change the battery connection method.

[0155] like Figure 2 As shown, the motor controller or BMS controls k2 to disconnect, and the battery switches from the parallel state to the reverse series state. At this time, the negative poles of the two battery packs are connected and the positive poles are disconnected.

[0156] Pulse heating can be divided into four stages. The first and second stages control battery B1 to charge battery B2. The third and fourth stages control battery B2 to charge battery B1.

[0157] Fig.11 A circuit diagram of a first battery discharging to a second battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 1 . Fig.12 A circuit diagram of a first battery discharging to a second battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 2 .

[0158] like Fig.11As shown, in the first stage, the upper bridge arm of the first motor controller and the lower bridge arm of the second motor controller are controlled to be closed, the battery B1 is in a discharge state, and the motor inductor is used to store energy and boost the voltage. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B1 positive → V1, V2, V3 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → LA2, LB2, LC2 → V10, V11, V12 → B1 negative.

[0159] like Fig.12 As shown, in the second stage, the upper bridge arm of the first motor controller and the upper bridge arm of the second motor controller are controlled to be closed, and the motor equivalent inductance releases the energy stored in the first stage to the battery B2, the battery B1 is in a discharging state, and the battery B2 is in a charging state. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B1 positive → V1, V2, V3 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → LA2, LB2, LC2 → V7, ​​V8, V9 → B2 negative → B2 positive → B1 negative. At the same time, in order to maintain the state of battery B1 discharging and battery B2 charging, the time for battery B1 to charge battery B2 can be controlled by controlling the time for the upper and lower bridge arms of the second motor controller to switch back and forth.

[0160] Fig.13 A circuit diagram of a second battery discharging to a first battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 1 . Fig.14 A circuit diagram of a second battery discharging to a first battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 2 .

[0161] like Fig.13 As shown, in the third stage, the lower bridge arm of the first motor controller and the upper bridge arm of the second motor controller are controlled to be closed, the battery B2 is in a discharging state, and the motor inductor stores energy and boosts the voltage. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B2 positive → V7, ​​V8, V9 → LA2, LB2, LC3 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → V4, V5, V6 → B2 negative.

[0162] like Fig.14 As shown, in the fourth stage, the upper bridge arm of the first motor controller and the upper bridge arm V7 of the second motor controller are controlled to be closed, and the motor equivalent inductance releases the energy stored in the third stage to the battery B1, the battery B2 is in a discharging state, and the battery B1 is in a charging state. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B2 positive → V7, ​​V8, V9 → LA2, LB2, LC3 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → V1, V2, V3 → B1 positive → B1 negative → B2 negative. Similar to the second stage, the time for battery B2 to charge battery B1 can be controlled by controlling the time for the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the first motor controller to switch back and forth.

[0163] It is preferred to control the three-phase current of the motor to be of the same phase and amplitude, so that the synthetic magnetic field generated by the motor winding when the current is passed through it can be hinged to the rotor side to a minimum, thereby reducing the eddy current loss problem caused by the change of the magnetic field on the rotor.

[0164] The dual motors can be permanent magnet motors and induction motors to achieve low-temperature pulse heating. The first motor can also pass three-phase current, and the second motor can be one of the three phases for the above self-heating control. The corresponding effect is that the inductance of the second motor changes from the original three-phase inductance in parallel to a single-phase inductance to participate in the heating process, and the inductance involved in energy conversion is increased, so that the rate of change of the heating current is slowed down. Under the same voltage platform and the same control time, the peak value of the heating current on the motor side can be effectively improved.

[0165] Finally, while heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature is abnormal. If so, it sends the temperature rise abnormality information to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller forwards the temperature rise abnormality information to the MCU, the motor controller stops working, and the battery pack switches to the initial form.

[0166] During heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature meets the requirements. If so, the vehicle controller forwards the pulse heating information to the motor controller to stop heating, and the battery pack switches to the initial mode. Otherwise, the above heating process is repeated until the heating temperature meets the requirements. The charging and discharging scheme of the embodiment of the present application improves the problem of low heating rate of the original battery, so that the temperature rise rate of the battery pack is significantly improved.

[0167] Next, specifically Figure 3 Taking the dual-motor heating topology structure with multi-branch batteries powered in parallel as an example, the charging and discharging principles of the embodiment of the present application are further explained based on the case of a common positive electrode of the batteries. Figure 5 The principle of dual motor heating with multi-branch batteries independently supplying power to the motors is referenced Figure 3 .

[0168] First: the battery system BMS (Battery Management System) collects the battery pack temperature, power SOC, voltage, and current signals to determine whether the battery is working normally and whether the battery meets the heating conditions; the motor controller MCU (Motor control unit) collects the motor voltage and current to determine whether the motor is in a stationary state; the vehicle controller VCU (Vehicle control unit) determines whether to turn on the pulse heating device to heat the battery based on the heating request sent by the BMS and the motor working status sent by the MCU.

[0169] Then: when the BMS sends a heating request, the VCU determines whether the battery SOC state and the motor working state meet the heating conditions; secondly: different control methods are used for the specific dual-motor circuit topology. Specifically, there are two dual-motor circuit systems, one is a dual-motor system with multiple branch batteries connected in parallel, and the other is a dual-motor system with multiple branch batteries independently supplying power to the motor.

[0170] For the first type Figure 3 In the case of multiple branch batteries connected in parallel for power supply, it is necessary to first change the connection mode of the battery pack, switching the battery pack from parallel mode to reverse series mode; for the second case, Figure 5 The structural topology shown in the figure is that the battery pack supplies power to two motor systems independently, so there is no need to change the battery connection method.

[0171] like Figure 3 As shown, the motor controller or BMS controls k2 to disconnect, and the battery switches from the parallel state to the reverse series state. At this time, the negative poles of the two battery packs are connected and the positive poles are disconnected.

[0172] Pulse heating can be divided into four stages. The first and second stages control battery B1 to charge battery B2. The third and fourth stages control battery B2 to charge battery B1.

Fig.16 A circuit diagram of a first battery discharging to a second battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 2 .

[0174] like Fig.15 As shown, in the first stage, the upper bridge arm of any phase in the second bridge arm group and the lower bridge arm of any phase in the first bridge arm group are controlled to be turned on, the battery B1 is in a discharge state, and the motor inductor is used to store energy and boost the voltage. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B1 positive → V7, ​​V8, V9 → LA2, LB2, LC2 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → V4, V5, V6 → B1 negative.

[0175] like Fig.16As shown, in the second stage, the upper bridge arm in the second bridge arm group is controlled to be disconnected, and the lower bridge arm corresponding to the disconnected bridge arm is turned on. The motor equivalent inductance releases the energy stored in the first stage to battery B2, and battery B1 is in a discharging state, and battery B2 is in a charging state. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B1 positive → B2 positive → B1 negative → V10, V11, V12 → LA2, LB2, LC2 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → V4, V5, V6 → B1 negative. At the same time, in order to maintain the state of battery B1 discharging and battery B2 charging, the time for battery B1 to charge battery B2 can be controlled by controlling the time for the upper and lower bridge arms of the second motor controller to switch back and forth.

[0176] Fig.17 A circuit diagram of a second battery discharging to a first battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 1 . Fig.18 A circuit diagram of a second battery discharging to a first battery in a charging and discharging method according to one or more embodiments Figure 2 .

[0177] like Fig.17 As shown, in the third stage, the upper bridge arm of any phase in the first bridge arm group and the lower bridge arm of any phase in the second bridge arm group are controlled to be turned on, the battery B2 is in a discharging state, and the motor inductance is used to store energy and boost the voltage. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B2 positive → V1, V2, V3 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → LA2, LB2, LC3 → V10, V11, V12 → B2 negative.

[0178] like Fig.18 As shown, in the fourth stage, the upper bridge arm that is turned on in the first bridge arm group is controlled to be disconnected, and the upper bridge arm corresponding to the disconnected bridge arm is turned on, and the motor equivalent inductance releases the energy stored in the third stage to battery B1, battery B2 is in a discharging state, and battery B1 is in a charging state. At this time, the battery current flows as follows: B2 positive → B1 positive → B1 negative → V4, V5, V6 → LA1, LB1, LC1 → LA2, LB2, LC3 → V10, V11, V12 → B2 negative. Similar to the second stage, the time for battery B2 to charge battery B1 can be controlled by controlling the time for the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the first motor controller to switch back and forth.

[0179] It is preferred to control the three-phase current of the motor to be of the same phase and amplitude, so that the synthetic magnetic field generated by the motor winding when the current is passed through it can be hinged to the rotor side to a minimum, thereby reducing the eddy current loss problem caused by the change of the magnetic field on the rotor.

[0180] The dual motors can be permanent magnet motors and induction motors to achieve low-temperature pulse heating. The first motor can also pass three-phase current, and the second motor can be one of the three phases for the above self-heating control. The corresponding effect is that the inductance of the second motor changes from the original three-phase inductance in parallel to a single-phase inductance to participate in the heating process, and the inductance involved in energy conversion is increased, so that the rate of change of the heating current is slowed down. Under the same voltage platform and the same control time, the peak value of the heating current on the motor side can be effectively improved.

[0181] Finally, while heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature is abnormal. If so, it sends the temperature rise abnormality information to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller forwards the temperature rise abnormality information to the MCU, the motor controller stops working, and the battery pack switches to the initial form.

[0182] During heating, the BMS determines whether the battery pack temperature meets the requirements. If so, the vehicle controller forwards the stop driving pulse heating information to the motor controller, stops heating, and switches the battery pack to the initial mode. Otherwise, the above heating process is repeated until the heating temperature meets the requirements.

[0183] The charging and discharging scheme of the embodiment of the present application improves the problem of low heating rate of the original battery, so that the temperature rise rate of the battery pack is significantly improved.

[0184] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computing device, comprising: a memory: for storing executable instructions; and a processor: for connecting to the memory to execute the executable instructions to complete the charging and discharging method as any one of the third aspect.

[0185] In the computing device provided in the embodiment of the present application, two energy storage elements are connected through a first regulating switch module, and heating control is performed after the switch is closed. The charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element can be flexibly adjusted without changing the original motor structure; while reducing costs, the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor can be flexibly adjusted to perform a battery self-heating scheme to increase the heating rate.

[0186] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon; the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the charging and discharging method as described in any one of the third aspects.

[0187] The computer-readable storage medium provided in the embodiment of the present application has two energy storage elements connected through a first regulating switch module, and heating control is performed after the switch is closed. The charging and discharging circuit between the power battery and the energy storage element can be flexibly adjusted without changing the original motor structure; while reducing costs, the charging and discharging of the dual-drive motor can be flexibly adjusted to perform a battery self-heating scheme to increase the heating rate.
