Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, this application provides a 48V power system. The following description uses the application of this 48V power system in a vehicle as an example. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The 48V power system may include a low-voltage power supply component 11, a low-voltage power consumption component 2, and at least one domain control component 3; wherein,

[0044] The low-voltage power supply component 2 includes multiple first loads 21 and multiple second loads 22, wherein the rated voltage of the first loads 21 is higher than the rated voltage of the second loads 22. The low-voltage power supply component 1 is connected to at least a portion of the first loads 21 and the domain control component 3, respectively, for directly providing a first voltage to the corresponding first load 21. The domain control component 3 is connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1, at least a portion of the first loads 21, and at least a portion of the second loads 22, respectively, for controlling the low-voltage power supply component 1 to provide the first voltage to the first load 21 corresponding to the domain control component 3, and to convert the first voltage to a second voltage to provide a second voltage to the corresponding second load 22, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.

[0045] In one example, the first load 21 can be a 48V load, the second load 22 can be a 12V load, and the low-voltage power supply component 11 can be a 48V low-voltage battery pack. In the application, a portion of the first load 21 is directly connected to the low-voltage power supply component 11, and the low-voltage power supply component 11 directly provides a first voltage to this portion of the first load 21. In one example, the first load 21 directly connected to the low-voltage power supply component 11 can be a high-power low-voltage load. In this application, some conventional 12V rated low-voltage loads are replaced with 48V rated low-voltage loads. Compared with the related technology that increases the current to meet the growing power demand of low-voltage loads, this application adapts to the growing power demand of low-voltage loads by increasing the rated voltage of the low-voltage loads. This can reduce the transmission current on the transmission harness while adapting to the growing power demand of low-voltage loads. With the reduction in transmission current, the diameter of the transmission harness can be adaptively reduced, thereby reducing the weight and volume of the transmission harness in the vehicle, helping to reduce vehicle weight and increase the usable space inside the vehicle. At the same time, since the heat loss on the transmission harness is positively correlated with the transmission current, the heat loss on the transmission harness can also be reduced when the transmission current is reduced.

[0046] The 48V power system also includes at least one domain control component 3. A portion of the second load 22 and a portion of the first load 21 can be connected to the domain control component 3. The domain control component 3 can control the operating state of the corresponding second load 22 and first load 21, and supply power to them according to their power requirements. Specifically, the domain control component 3 can also convert the first voltage to a second voltage to supply power to the second load 22 and a portion of the first load 21. It can be seen that in this application, by converting the first voltage to a second voltage through the domain control component 3, the original 12V battery in the vehicle is eliminated, which can further help reduce the vehicle's weight.

[0047] The aforementioned 48V power system includes a low-voltage power supply component, a low-voltage power consumption component, and at least one domain control component. The low-voltage power consumption component includes at least two types of loads, each including multiple first loads and multiple second loads, where the rated voltage of the first loads is higher than the rated voltage of the second loads. The low-voltage power supply component is connected to at least a portion of the first loads and the domain control component, respectively, to directly provide a first voltage to the corresponding first load. The domain control component is connected to the low-voltage power supply component, at least a portion of the first loads, and at least a portion of the second loads, respectively, to control the low-voltage power supply component to provide the first voltage to the first load corresponding to the domain control component, and to convert the first voltage to a second voltage to provide a second voltage to the corresponding second load, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage. This application has two loads with different rated voltages, and by configuring a low-voltage power supply component capable of outputting a larger voltage in the vehicle, it can reduce the current in the transmission harness, reduce heat loss in the transmission harness, and reduce the volume of the transmission harness while keeping the power consumption in the vehicle constant, thereby increasing the usable space inside the vehicle.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The domain control component 3 includes at least one voltage conversion unit 31 and a first control unit 32.

[0049] The voltage conversion unit 31 is connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1 and the corresponding second load 22 respectively, and is used to convert the first voltage into the second voltage and supply power to the corresponding second load 22.

[0050] The first control unit 32 is connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1 and the voltage conversion unit respectively, and is used to control the low-voltage power supply component 1 to provide a first voltage to the first load 21 corresponding to the domain control component 3, and to control the voltage conversion unit to provide a second voltage to the corresponding second load 22.

[0051] It is understood that, in order to provide a second voltage to the second load 22, the domain control component 3 has at least one voltage conversion unit 31 to convert the first voltage into the second voltage. The domain control component 3 also has a first control unit 32, which can control the voltage conversion unit 31 and the low-voltage power supply component 1 to output corresponding current according to the required current of each first load 21 and second load 32 corresponding to the domain control component 3.

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 At least one voltage conversion unit includes a first voltage conversion unit 311 and a second voltage conversion unit 312, and the domain control component 3 also includes a unidirectional conduction unit 33.

[0053] The first voltage conversion unit 311 is connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1, the corresponding second load 22, and the control unit, respectively, and is used to convert the first voltage to the second voltage, and supply power to the corresponding second load 22 under the control of the first control unit. The second voltage conversion unit 312 is connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1, the corresponding second load 22, and the control unit, respectively, and is used to convert the first voltage to the second voltage, supply power to the first control unit, and supply power to the corresponding second load 22 under the control of the first control unit. The input terminal of the unidirectional conduction unit 33 is connected to the second voltage conversion unit 312, and the output terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 312 is connected to the first voltage conversion unit 311. The unidirectional conduction unit 33 is used to prevent the first voltage conversion unit 311 from supplying power to the control unit.

[0054] In one example, both the first voltage conversion unit 311 and the second voltage conversion unit 312 can be 48V to 12V DC-DC converters (Direct Current to Direct Current), but their power ratings can differ, with the first voltage conversion unit 311 having a higher power rating than the second voltage conversion unit 312. In application, the input terminals of both the first voltage conversion unit 311 and the second voltage conversion unit 312 are connected to the low-voltage power supply component 1, and their output terminals are connected to the second load 22 corresponding to the domain control component 3. The output terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 312 is also connected to the first control unit 32. When the vehicle is in a dormant state, the second load 22 may be in a dormant or low-energy state. The first control unit 32 can control the second voltage conversion unit 312 to supply power to the second load 22. Simultaneously, since the output terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 312 is also connected to the first control unit 32, the second voltage conversion unit 312 can also supply power to the first control unit 32. When the vehicle is in operation, the second load and the first load in the vehicle are also in their corresponding working states. At this time, the current required by each second load and each first load is relatively large. The first control unit 32 can control the first voltage conversion unit 311 to work so that the first voltage conversion unit 311 and the second voltage conversion unit 312 work together to supply power to the corresponding second load 22.

[0055] In the application, the domain control component 3 may further include a communication unit and a diagnostic unit. The communication unit is connected to each of the first loads 21 and second loads 32 corresponding to the domain control component 3, and is also connected to the first control unit 32, so that each of the first loads 21 and the first control unit 32, and each of the second loads 32 and the first control unit 32, can communicate. The diagnostic unit is connected to each of the first loads 21 and second loads 32 corresponding to the domain control component 3, and is also connected to the first control unit 32. The diagnostic unit can obtain fault information of each of the first loads 21 and second loads 32 in real time and send the fault information to the first control unit 32. Upon receiving the fault information, the first control unit 32 controls and implements corresponding protection measures, such as cutting off the power supply of the first voltage conversion unit 311 and / or the second voltage conversion unit 312 to the faulty second load 22, and cutting off the power supply of the low-voltage power supply component 1 to the faulty first load 21, so as to prevent the fault from further expanding.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The low-voltage power supply component 1 has a negative port P-, a first positive port P1+, and at least one second positive port P2+. The low-voltage power supply component 1 includes a power supply unit 11 and at least one third voltage conversion unit 12, wherein the number of second positive ports P2+ is the same as the number of third voltage conversion units 12. The positive terminal of the power supply unit 11 is connected to both the first positive port P1+ and the third voltage conversion unit 12, the negative terminal of the power supply unit 11 is connected to the negative port P-, and the third voltage conversion unit 12 is connected to the corresponding second positive port P2+. The third voltage conversion unit 12 is used to convert the external voltage of the external charging component into a first voltage, so that the external charging component charges the power supply unit 11.

[0057] In the application, when the vehicle is in a sleep state and the low-voltage power supply component 1 is powered down, an external charging component can be used to charge the power supply unit 11 of the low-voltage power supply component 1. Specifically, when the external charging component is a 48V battery, the power supply unit 11 can be charged directly through the first positive port P1+ and the negative port P-. If the external charging component is not a 48V battery, the external voltage needs to be converted to the first voltage so that the external charging component can charge the power supply unit 11. For example, the third voltage conversion unit 12 can be a 12V to 48V DC-DC converter. When the external charging component is a 12V battery, the power supply unit 11 can be charged through the second positive port P2+, the negative port P-, and the third voltage conversion unit 12.

[0058] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The low-voltage power supply assembly 1 further includes a fourth voltage conversion unit 13, a second control unit 14, and a switching unit 15. The fourth voltage conversion unit 13 is connected to both the power supply unit 11 and the second control unit 14. The first terminal of the switching unit 15 is connected to the first positive port P1+, the second terminal of the switching unit 15 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply unit 11, and the control terminal of the switching unit 15 is connected to the second control unit 14. The fourth voltage conversion unit 13 converts the first voltage to a third voltage. When the second control unit 14 receives the third voltage, it controls the switching unit 15 to turn on, so that the power supply unit 11 outputs the first voltage through the first positive port P1+ and the negative port P-.

[0059] The low-voltage power supply assembly in this application includes a fourth voltage conversion unit 13, a second control unit 14, and a switching unit 15. The fourth voltage conversion unit 13 is connected to the power supply unit 11 to convert a first voltage into a third voltage and provide the third voltage to the second control unit 14. When the second control unit 14 receives the third voltage, it controls the switching unit 15 to conduct, allowing the power supply unit 11 to output the first voltage through the first positive port P1+ and the negative port P-. In one example, the switching unit can be a transistor or a switch.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the low-voltage power supply assembly 1 further includes a sampling unit 16 and a protection unit 17. The sampling unit 16 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply unit 11, the negative terminal of the power supply unit 11, and a second control unit 14, respectively. The second control unit 14 is also used to acquire the sampling electrical signal from the sampling unit 16, and to control the switch unit 15 to turn off in the event of an abnormal sampling electrical signal. The first terminal of the protection unit 17 is connected to the first positive terminal and the third voltage conversion unit 2, and the second terminal of the protection unit 17 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply unit 11. The protection unit 17 is used to protect the power supply unit 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the power supply unit 11 is in a charging state, the second control unit 14 controls the switch unit 15 to open, and the external charging current enters the power supply unit 11 through the protection unit 17. When the power supply unit 11 is in a discharging state, the second control unit 14 controls the switch unit 15 to open. When the power supply unit 11 is discharging, the second control unit 14 acquires the sampling electrical signal from the sampling unit. The sampling electrical signal can be a sampling voltage or a sampling current. The second control unit 14 can detect whether the sampling electrical signal is normal. If the sampling electrical signal is abnormal, the second control unit 14 can control the switch unit 15 to close.

[0062] In one exemplary embodiment, this application also provides a vehicle that includes the 48V electrical system of any of the above embodiments.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, the vehicle further includes a high-voltage power supply component 4 and a conversion component 5. The high-voltage power supply component 4 outputs a fourth voltage, which is greater than a first voltage. The conversion component 5 is connected to both the high-voltage power supply component 4 and the low-voltage power supply component 1, and converts the fourth voltage into the first voltage so that the high-voltage power supply component can charge the low-voltage power supply component 1. The high-voltage power supply component 4 can be a 400V or 800V high-voltage battery pack, and correspondingly, the conversion component 5 can be a 400V to 48V DC-DC converter or an 800V to 48V DC-DC converter.

[0064] In a detailed embodiment, the vehicle of this application can be a 400V or 800V high-voltage electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle. Specifically, the 400V or 800V high-voltage power supply component 4 is converted to a 400V or 800V to 48V DC-DC output, which is then connected to the 48V low-voltage power supply component 1. There is only one 48V low-voltage power supply component in the entire vehicle. The 48V low-voltage power supply component 1 adopts a self-wake-up and self-powering scheme, eliminating the need for an external 12V battery to excite the 48V low-voltage power supply component 1 to operate. For the primary power distribution loads in the vehicle, a power distribution box or intelligent power distribution box is used for 48V power supply. The primary power distribution loads are mainly high-current loads such as EPS, IBC, and fans, and the rated voltage of the primary power distribution loads is 48V. For secondary power distribution loads, a domain control component is used for distribution. The secondary power distribution loads can include 48V low-current loads and 12V low-current loads. The domain control component has a built-in 48V to 12V DC-DC converter to achieve 48V to 12V output to power the 12V low-current loads. In order to solve the problem that the 48V to 12V DC-DC converter can still supply power to components with memory and wake-up requirements after sleep mode, the domain control component is equipped with a first voltage conversion unit and a second voltage conversion unit. When the vehicle current exceeds the output capacity of the second voltage conversion unit or the vehicle is woken up, the first voltage conversion unit is activated. The first voltage conversion unit and the second voltage conversion unit jointly output current to meet the requirements of secondary power grid connection and distribution, seamlessly connect, minimize the vehicle's static current, and meet the vehicle's requirements. On the one hand, the vehicle architecture proposed in this application can solve the problem of achieving a hybrid coexistence of 48V and 12V power supplies. On the other hand, the vehicle architecture proposed in this application clarifies the sequence from high-voltage power supply components, low-voltage power supply components to primary power distribution and then to secondary power distribution, and defines the roles of each level of components. According to the implementation scheme of the architecture of this invention, the 48V load and 48V low-voltage power supply components can be successfully installed and implemented.
