Description

Power supply control system, control method and vehicle Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a power supply control system, a control method, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When lead-acid batteries are used as starting power sources, their self-discharge rate reaches 20% to 30% per month. Therefore, even when not in use, they must be charged once a month, which is inconvenient. In addition, the lifespan of lead-acid batteries is generally around two years, requiring frequent replacement, which increases the cost of use. For this reason, lithium batteries have been proposed as starting power sources in related technologies. However, when starting under low temperature conditions, the allowable charging current of lithium batteries is very small, while the idle output current of the vehicle generator is relatively large (generally greater than 40A), resulting in the inability to charge lithium batteries under low temperature conditions.

[0039] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0040] The power supply control system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] FIG1 is a structural diagram of a power supply control system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1, the power supply control system 100 includes a lithium battery 101, a first switching circuit 103, a DC / DC converter 102, and a battery management system (BMS). The first switching circuit 103 is connected between the lithium battery 101 and the vehicle generator. The DC / DC converter 102 is connected in parallel with the first switching circuit 103. The battery management system (BMS) is connected to the lithium battery 101, the first switching circuit 103, and the DC / DC converter 102, respectively, to obtain the temperature of the lithium battery 101. When the temperature is below a low-temperature threshold, it controls the first switching circuit 103 to disconnect and the DC / DC converter 102 to operate, enabling the vehicle generator to charge the lithium battery 101 with a low current through the DC / DC converter 102.

[0043] The lithium battery 101 may include multiple cells, and the temperature of the lithium battery 101 may be obtained by detecting the temperatures of multiple cells or detecting the temperatures of multiple locations. If multiple temperatures are detected, the validity of each temperature is determined (for example, if the difference between a certain temperature and another temperature is greater than a difference threshold, the temperature is determined to be invalid), and the minimum value among the valid temperatures is used as the temperature of the lithium battery 101. The low temperature threshold value may be -5°C to 5°C, such as 0°C, and may be set as needed.

[0044] Optionally, referring to FIG. 1 , the lithium battery 101 may supply power to a battery management system BMS (indicated by Power in FIG. 1 ).

[0045] Specifically, referring to FIG1 , the vehicle-mounted generator has a positive output terminal P+ and a negative output terminal P-. When the ambient temperature of the lithium battery 101 is normal, the first switch circuit 103 can be controlled to close, so that the positive output terminal P+ and the negative output terminal P- are directly connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery 101, respectively. At this time, the vehicle-mounted generator can be controlled to charge the lithium battery 101 with a high current. When the ambient temperature of the lithium battery 101 is normal, the first switch circuit 103 can be controlled to open, and the DC / DC converter 102 can be controlled to operate, so that the positive output terminal P+ and the negative output terminal P- are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery 101, respectively. At this time, the DC / DC converter 102 can reduce the charging current of the lithium battery 101, enabling the vehicle-mounted generator to charge the lithium battery 101 with a low current.

[0046] Therefore, the power control system of the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize low-current charging of the power supply through the DC / DC converter under low-temperature conditions, ensuring that the lithium battery continues to be charged under low-temperature conditions.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , the power control system 100 further includes a battery heating circuit 104 for heating the lithium battery 101 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the battery management system BMS is further connected to the battery heating circuit 104 and is configured to control the battery heating circuit 104 to operate so as to heat the lithium battery 101 when the temperature is lower than a low temperature threshold.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2 , the battery heating circuit 104 includes a heating element 1041 and a switching tube Q. The heating element 1041 is attached to the surface of the lithium battery 101 and is used to generate heat when powered. The switching tube Q and the heating element 1041 are connected in series between the positive and negative output terminals of the vehicle's generator.

[0050] Optionally, the heating element 1041 may be a heating film, and the switch tube Q may be a MOS tube (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor).

[0051] In this embodiment, the battery management system BMS is connected to the control terminal of the switch tube Q and is used to control the switch tube Q to conduct when the temperature is lower than the low temperature threshold, so as to generate heat for the heating element 1041 and thus heat the lithium battery 101. Referring to FIG. 2 , the switch tube Q can be integrated with the battery management system BMS to reduce the space occupied by the power control system 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the power control system 100 further includes a unidirectional conduction circuit 105 connected in parallel with the first switch circuit 103. The current conduction direction of the unidirectional conduction circuit 105 is the same as the discharge direction of the lithium battery 101. The battery management system BMS is further configured to obtain the voltage of the lithium battery 101 and, when the voltage is greater than a high-voltage threshold, control the first switch circuit 103 to disconnect, or control the DC / DC converter 102 to stop operating.

[0053] Specifically, the voltage of the lithium battery 101 can be obtained by detecting the voltages of multiple cells. For example, if multiple cells are connected in series, the voltage of the lithium battery 101 can be the average of the voltages of the multiple cells. If, before the voltage of the lithium battery 101 reaches the high-voltage threshold, the first switch circuit 103 is in a closed state and the DC / DC converter 102 is in an inoperative state, then when the voltage of the lithium battery 101 exceeds the high-voltage threshold, the battery management system (BMS) controls the first switch circuit 103 to disconnect. If, before the voltage of the lithium battery 101 reaches the high-voltage threshold, the first switch circuit 103 is in a disconnected state and the DC / DC converter 102 is in an operational state, then when the voltage of the lithium battery 101 exceeds the high-voltage threshold, the battery management system (BMS) controls the DC / DC converter 102 to stop operating. This prevents overvoltage in the lithium battery 101, while simultaneously ensuring that the main circuit is blocked from charging the lithium battery 101 through the unidirectional conduction circuit 105, allowing the main circuit to discharge.

[0054] As an embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 , the unidirectional conducting circuit 105 may be a diode D1 connected in parallel with the first switch circuit 103 . The current conducting direction of the diode D1 is the same as the discharging direction of the lithium battery 101 .

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the power control system 100 also includes: a second switching circuit 106, connected between the positive electrode of the lithium battery 101 and the positive output terminal P+ of the vehicle generator, wherein the first switching circuit 103 is connected between the negative electrode of the lithium battery 101 and the negative output terminal P- of the vehicle generator.

[0056] The battery management system BMS is also connected to the second switch circuit 106 and is used to control the first switch circuit 103 and the second switch circuit 106 to close after determining that the vehicle is in the starting state, so that the vehicle generator can charge the lithium battery 101.

[0057] Optionally, referring to Figure 4, the first switching circuit 103 may include a negative contactor K2, connected between the negative pole of the lithium battery 101 and the negative output terminal P- of the vehicle generator; the second switching circuit 106 may include a positive contactor K1, connected between the positive pole of the lithium battery 101 and the positive output terminal P+ of the vehicle generator.

[0058] In some embodiments, the battery management system BMS is specifically used to: determine that the vehicle is in a starting state when receiving a vehicle start signal sent by the vehicle controller of the vehicle; or, obtain a first voltage U1 at the connection end of the second switching circuit 106 with the lithium battery 101 and a second voltage U2 at the connection end with the vehicle generator, and determine that the vehicle is in a starting state when the second voltage U2 is greater than the first voltage U1.

[0059] Specifically, the battery management system BMS can be connected to the vehicle controller for communication (such as through a CAN bus communication connection). When the vehicle is in the starting state, the vehicle controller can send a vehicle starting signal to the battery management system BMS. The battery management system BMS can determine that the vehicle is in the starting state based on the vehicle starting signal. At the same time, the battery management system BMS can also sample the voltage on the inside of the second switch circuit 106 (i.e., the connection end with the lithium battery 101) to obtain a first voltage U1, and sample the voltage on the outside of the second switch circuit 106 (i.e., the connection end with the vehicle generator) to obtain a second voltage U2. If the second voltage U2 is greater than the first voltage U1, the battery management system BMS determines that the vehicle is in the starting state. Among them, the battery management system BMS can determine that the vehicle is in the starting state when it detects that either of the above two conditions is met, or it can first make a judgment through communication, and then make a voltage judgment when the battery management system BMS is powered on and wakes up and does not receive a vehicle starting signal within a certain period of time.

[0060] In some embodiments, after controlling the battery heating circuit 104 to operate, the battery management system BMS is further configured to control the first switch circuit 103 to close when the temperature of the lithium battery 101 is greater than a low temperature threshold.

[0061] Specifically, during the low-temperature charging process, when the temperature of the lithium battery 101 is greater than the low-temperature threshold, it means that the lithium battery 101 can be charged with a large current. At this time, the first switch circuit 103 can be controlled to close, so that the vehicle generator is directly connected to the lithium battery 101 to charge the lithium battery 101 with a large current and improve the charging efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments, the battery management system BMS is also used to: obtain the current of the lithium battery 101; make overcurrent judgments based on the current, make overtemperature judgments based on the temperature, and make overvoltage and undervoltage judgments based on the voltage; and issue a fault alarm message when at least one of overcurrent, overtemperature, overvoltage and undervoltage occurs.

[0063] 3 and 4 , the battery management system BMS can perform current sampling through a current sampling resistor Shunt connected between the negative electrode of the lithium battery 101 and the first switch circuit 103 .

[0064] In this embodiment, overtemperature, overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage can be detected when the vehicle is powered on and in each subsequent control cycle. Each time a fault is detected, the fault is reported and handled accordingly based on the fault level. For example, if the voltage threshold is 3.5-3.7V, such as 3.65V, and the voltage Umax of the lithium battery 101 is ≥ 3.8V, a level 1 overvoltage fault is detected, and the first switch circuit 103 and the second switch circuit 106 are disconnected.

[0065] The power control system of the disclosed embodiment can not only realize low-current charging through the DC / DC module under low-temperature conditions, but also promptly block the main circuit charging after the lithium battery is fully charged, and ensure that the main circuit can discharge.

[0066] Based on the above-mentioned power supply control system 100 , the present disclosure provides a vehicle.

[0067] FIG5 is a structural diagram of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] As shown in FIG5 , a vehicle 200 includes the power supply control system 100 described above.

[0069] The vehicle of the disclosed embodiment can realize low-current charging through the DC / DC module under low-temperature conditions through the above-mentioned power supply control system, and can also realize timely blocking of the main circuit charging after the lithium battery is fully charged, and ensure that the main circuit can discharge.

[0070] The present disclosure also proposes a power control method.
