[0041] Currently, new energy hybrid vehicles are gaining increasing attention from manufacturers. Hybrid vehicles are vehicles that derive their power from at least two energy sources: the engine consumes fuel, and the drive motor consumes electricity. Compared to traditional vehicle power systems, hybrid vehicles incorporate additional high-voltage components such as a drive motor, power battery, and DC-DC converters. Because hybrid vehicles have these components, the charging process involves controlling these high-voltage components. Therefore, a sound control method can significantly improve the safety and stability of vehicle charging.

[0042] The charging method for hybrid vehicles in related technologies mainly focuses on improving the charging efficiency, resulting in low charging safety of hybrid vehicles.

[0043] In view of this, the present application proposes a vehicle charging control method, device, equipment and vehicle. When the charging function of the vehicle is activated, the solution receives an indication information for entering the charging function, and the indication information for entering the charging function is used to indicate whether the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function; if the indication information for entering the charging function indicates that the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function, the vehicle is controlled to start the charging function; when the vehicle starts the charging function, if the duration of the power battery discharge power being greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to the first preset time, the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge is controlled to be turned off; after the electronic equipment of the vehicle is controlled to be turned off, if the duration of the power battery discharge power being greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to the second preset time, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function, wherein the second preset time is less than the first preset time. By controlling the vehicle to start the charging function when the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function, the driving performance of the vehicle is avoided from being affected by the arbitrary activation of the charging function, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle; when the vehicle starts the charging function, if the discharge power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device and the duration is greater than or equal to the first preset time, the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge is controlled to be turned off, so as to ensure the smooth charging of the power battery and avoid the safety hazards caused by excessive discharge of the battery. After the electronic equipment of the vehicle is controlled to be turned off, if the discharge power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device and the duration is greater than or equal to the second preset time, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function, which can avoid the power battery system from working under high load for a long time and the risk of overheating or damage, thereby improving the charging safety of hybrid vehicles.

[0044] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the power system of a hybrid vehicle. Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the power system structure of a hybrid vehicle provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0045] The power system is mainly composed of assembly components such as the engine, drive motor, power battery, gearbox, clutch, transmission mechanism, charger, DC converter, etc., as well as controllers corresponding to each power assembly component.

[0046] The controllers include engine controller, vehicle controller, drive motor controller, battery management system, transmission controller, DC converter, instrument display (IC, Instrument Cluster), body controller, charging device controller (CDU, Charging Device Control Unit), intelligent network system controller (INSC, Internet System Control), and air conditioning controller (HVAC, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning).

[0047] Each controller communicates via the CAN network. The HCU is the vehicle's core controller, coordinating and controlling other subsystems. The EMS controls the engine, the MCU controls the drive motor, the BMS controls the power battery, the TCU controls the transmission, the DC-DC converter performs current conversion, the IC displays various system information, the CDU controls the charging device, the HVAC controls the air conditioning, the INSC monitors intelligent connectivity information and notifies the user of the vehicle's charging status via the app, and the BCM controls the on / off lighting of the DC charging port.

[0048] In the embodiments provided herein, the BMS controls the closing and opening of the high-voltage relay based on HCU signal instructions, determines whether the power battery is ready for charging, determines whether the power battery is charging, enables the charging device based on HCU signal instructions, transmits the power battery temperature to the HCU, and receives charging connection signals. The HCU is responsible for determining whether the vehicle meets the charging function entry conditions and for completing the charging function startup and exit.

[0049] The following describes in detail the implementation steps of a vehicle charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Flowcharts of vehicle charging control methods provided in some embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system, such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in a different order than shown here.

[0051] The method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 201: When a charging function of a vehicle is activated, receiving charging function entry indication information, the charging function entry indication information being used to indicate whether the vehicle meets a first preset condition for entering the charging function;

[0053] Step 202: If the charging function entry instruction information indicates that the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function, controlling the vehicle to start the charging function;

[0054] Step 203: When the vehicle starts charging, if the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device for a duration greater than or equal to a first preset duration, control the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge to be turned off;

[0055] Step 204: After controlling the electronic devices of the vehicle to be turned off, if the duration during which the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to a second preset time, control the vehicle to exit the charging function, wherein the second preset time is less than the first preset time.

[0056] In steps 201 to 204 shown in the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the vehicle to start the charging function when the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function, the driving performance of the vehicle is avoided from being affected by the random activation of the charging function, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle; when the vehicle starts the charging function, if the discharge power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device for a duration greater than or equal to a first preset time, the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge is controlled to be turned off, so as to ensure the smooth charging of the power battery and avoid the safety hazards caused by excessive discharge of the battery; after the electronic equipment of the vehicle is controlled to be turned off, if the discharge power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device for a duration greater than or equal to a second preset time, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function, which can avoid the risk of overheating or damage to the power battery system working under high load for a long time, thereby improving the charging safety of the hybrid vehicle.

[0057] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are introduced below.

[0058] It should be understood that the vehicle charging control method involved in the technical solution of the present application is applicable to DC charging and AC charging of vehicles. For DC charging and AC charging, there may be inconsistencies in the control signal names and device names, but this will not affect its own operation and control methods.

[0059] In step 201 , when a charging function of a vehicle is activated, charging function entry indication information is received, where the charging function entry indication information is used to indicate whether the vehicle meets a first preset condition for entering the charging function.

[0060] If the vehicle detects that the charging function is activated, it can determine whether to start the charging function. Among them, whether to start the charging function depends on whether the vehicle meets some conditions for entering charging (first preset conditions). It should be understood that these conditions can be multiple conditions or one condition.

[0061] The vehicle can activate the charging function in a variety of ways. For example, the charging function can be activated through a physical button or switch; the charging function can be activated through the vehicle system. The user can enter the charging management interface through the vehicle's central control touch screen to set up charging and activate the charging function, or use the voice control function of the vehicle information system to activate charging according to instructions; the charging function can be activated through a smart key or mobile phone application. The smart key can be used to remotely control the opening and closing of the charging port cover and the activation of the charging function, or the mobile phone application can be used to remotely control the vehicle's charging function, and charging can be started or stopped without entering the vehicle. It should be understood that the activation method of the charging function is related to the vehicle model itself and the design of the charging system. This application does not limit the activation method of the charging function.

[0062] Whether the vehicle meets one or more conditions for entering charging can be indicated by charging function indication information. The charging function indication information can be a flag bit. For example, if the charging function indication information is "1", it means that the vehicle meets the conditions for entering charging. If the charging function indication information is "0", it means that the vehicle does not meet the conditions for entering charging.

[0063] For example, the conditions for a vehicle to enter charging may include:

[0064] 1) The HCU receives the DC charging gun electronic lock status from the BCM and it is reliably locked;

[0065] 2) The gear position signal received by the HCU from the TCU is P gear or N gear;

[0066] 3) The HCU receives the DC charging port connection status sent by the CDU as fully connected;

[0067] 4) The HCU monitors that the high-voltage system is fault-free and no faults that could affect DC charging power-up occur;

[0068] 5) The HCU receives the power battery DC charging request signal BMSCrgeDCReq=1 sent by the BMS, where 1 indicates a charging request and 0 indicates no charging request;

[0069] 6) HCU receives BMSandCrgeShk=1 from BMS, where 1 indicates that the handshake protocol between the power battery and the charging pile or external charging device is successful, and 0 indicates that the handshake protocol between the power battery and the charging pile or external charging device is unsuccessful;

[0070] 7) The HCU receives feedback from the CDU on the temperature sensor 1 and temperature sensor 2 on the charging device, and both temperatures do not exceed 80°C (calibrable).

[0071] It should be understood that the HCU triggers the charging function to start when all of the above conditions are met. If these conditions are not met simultaneously within a preset time period (for example, 10 seconds), the HCU will control the condition determination of the charging function to exit, i.e., DC charging has failed. The HCU will then inform the user of the reason for DC charging failure through the instrument display, INSC, and mobile app.

[0072] The embodiment provided in the present application receives charging function entry indication information when the charging function of the vehicle is activated, thereby indicating whether the vehicle meets the first preset condition for entering the charging function, thereby providing a basis for whether subsequent vehicles enter the charging function.

[0073] In step 202 , if the charging function entry instruction information indicates that the vehicle meets a first preset condition for entering the charging function, the vehicle is controlled to start the charging function.

[0074] For example, when the vehicle meets the seven conditions provided above, the charging function can be triggered to start through the HCU.

[0075] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle to start the charging function can be achieved by updating the signal states of multiple second timing signals according to the second precondition, wherein the second precondition can be used to represent the conditions that need to be met for updating the signal states of the second timing signals.

[0076] Taking DC charging as an example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a flowchart of the vehicle charging function provided by some embodiments of the present application. When the vehicle meets the seven charging conditions provided above, the HCU triggers the high-voltage power-on strategy control, that is, the HCU controls the vehicle power system to turn on the high voltage and controls the BMS to send the power battery high-voltage relay to close HVRelay = 1 (1 indicates that the high-voltage relay is closed, and 0 indicates that the high-voltage relay is disconnected); then, the HCU sends an enable signal to the DCDC, DCDCEnble = 1; controls the DCDC to send a working status signal to the HCU, DCDCSts = 1; the HCU sends a DC charging permission signal to the BMS, CrgeDCAllow = 1; further, controls the CDU to send a working status signal to the BMS, CrgerDCSts = 1; controls the BMS to send a battery DC charging status signal to the instrument, BatCrgeDCSts = 1; finally, the instrument lights up the DC charging status indicator, and the vehicle is in the DC charging process.

[0077] It should be understood that the aforementioned enable signal DCDCEnble, working state signal DCDCSts, DC charging enable signal CrgeDCAllow, working state signal CrgerDCSts and battery DC charging state signal BatCrgeDCSts can be regarded as second timing signals.

[0078] For details, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the signal trigger timing for starting the vehicle charging function provided in some embodiments of the present application. When the vehicle meets the DC charging function entry conditions, the HCU triggers the DC charging function to start. The control method and control timing are as follows:

[0079] 1) The HCU controls the high voltage of the vehicle power system and controls the BMS to send a signal to the HCU to close the power battery high voltage relay HVRelay = 1 (1 indicates that the high voltage relay is closed, and 0 indicates that the high voltage relay is open);

[0080] 2) When HVRelay=1, the HCU sends an enable signal DCDCEnble=1 to the DCDC (1 means enabled, 0 means disabled), and at the same time sends a signal CrgeDCAllow=1 to the BMS (1 means DC charging is allowed, 0 means DC charging is not allowed);

[0081] 3) When DCDCEnable=1 and CrgeDCAllow=1, the HCU receives the DCDC converter status signal as working, that is, DCDCSts=1 (1 indicates working state, 0 indicates non-working state);

[0082] 4) When DCDCSts=1, the CDU sends a charging device status signal CrgerDCSts=1 to the HCU and BMS (1 indicates that the charging device is in operation, and 0 indicates that the charging device is in non-operational state);

[0083] 5) When CrgerDCSts=1, control the BMS to send the battery DC charging status signal to the meter, BatCrgeDCSts=1.

[0084] The vehicle DC charging function startup completion judgment mark is: battery charging status signal BatCrgeDCSts=1, (0 indicates DC not charging, 1 indicates DC charging, 2 indicates DC charging is completed), HCU sends the DC charging indicator light signal CrgeDCLight=1 to the instrument (1 indicates the light is on, 0 indicates the light is off), and the instrument IC lights up the DC charging status indicator light.

[0085] It should be understood that the above-mentioned HVRelay=1 is the second precondition of the enable signal DCDCEnble and the DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow (the second timing signal), that is, when HVRelay=1, the enable signal DCDCEnble is converted (updated) from disabled to enabled, that is, the enable signal changes from 0 to 1, and the DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow is converted (updated) from charging not allowed to charging allowed, that is, the DC charging permission signal changes from 0 to 1; DCDCSts=1 is the second precondition of the working state signal CrgerDCSts, that is, when DCDCSts=1, the working state signal CrgerDCSts is converted from not running to running, that is, the working state signal changes from 0 to 1. The above-mentioned control timing steps and attached Figure 4 This has been described and demonstrated in detail and will not be repeated here.

[0086] Attachment Figure 4 In the case that the vehicle meets the charging entry conditions, the HVRelay signal is updated to 1 (or a high level) to indicate the closed state of the power battery high-voltage relay. After HVRelay = 1, the DCDCEnble signal and the CrgeDCAllow signal are updated from the disabled and charging not allowed states to the enabled state and charging allowed state respectively; after the DCDCEnble signal and the CrgeDCAllow signal are updated to the enabled state and charging allowed state, the DCDCSts signal is updated from the non-working state to the working state; after the DCDCSts signal is updated to the working state, the CrgerDCSts signal is updated from the non-operating state to the operating state; further, the BatCrgeDCSts signal is updated to charging, and then, the CrgeDCLight is updated from the off state to the constantly on state.

[0087] The embodiment of the present application realizes the vehicle starting charging function by updating the signal states of multiple second timing signals according to the second pre-sequence condition, thereby ensuring the reliability and success rate of vehicle charging start-up and avoiding vehicle charging start-up failure caused by timing confusion.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the vehicle starts the charging function, if the key state is switched from the locked state or the activated state to the ignition state, the vehicle is controlled to continue charging; if the key state is switched from the locked state or the activated state to the start state, the vehicle power system state is set to high-voltage power-up incomplete, and the vehicle is controlled to continue charging; the activation state is used to indicate that the vehicle's accessory circuit is in an on state.

[0089] For example, when the vehicle is in the process of DC charging, if the key switches from Key-OFF (locked state) or Key-ACC (activated state) to Key-ON (ignition state), the vehicle continues to charge; if the key switches to Key-Start (start state), the vehicle is unable to drive, that is, the power system state is not PTReady (vehicle power system high voltage power-up is not completed), and the vehicle charging function is not affected. This ensures the continuity and stability of vehicle charging.

[0090] In step 203 , if the vehicle starts the charging function and the duration during which the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to a first preset time, the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge is controlled to be turned off.

[0091] Taking DC charging as an example, when the vehicle key is in the Key-OFF or Key-ACC state, the vehicle begins charging after connecting the DC charging pile to the vehicle charging device using a charging cable. During the vehicle charging process, if the vehicle's air conditioning system is on, when the air conditioning system power exceeds the output power of the charging device and causes the battery discharge time to reach 15 minutes (the first preset time length, which is flexibly set), the HCU controls the air conditioning to stop enabling and notifies the user through the instrument panel or mobile phone app.

[0092] The electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery to discharge may include the air conditioning system, lighting system, infotainment system, and electric seats, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0093] In the embodiment provided by the present application, when the charging function is started by the vehicle and the duration during which the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to a first preset time length, the electronic equipment of the vehicle that causes the power battery discharge is controlled to be turned off, thereby ensuring the smooth charging of the power battery and avoiding the safety hazards caused by excessive discharge of the battery.

[0094] In step 204 , after the electronic devices of the vehicle are controlled to be turned off, if the duration for which the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to a second preset time period, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function.

[0095] Taking DC charging as an example, after the HCU controls the air conditioning to be disabled (turned off), if the power battery discharge power is still greater than or equal to the charger output power and this duration exceeds 5 minutes (the second preset duration, which can be flexibly set), the HCU should control the vehicle to exit battery charging and notify the user through the instrument cluster or mobile phone app. To further ensure charging safety, the second preset duration should be shorter than the first preset duration.

[0096] It should be understood that after the vehicle's electronic devices are turned off, the power battery discharge power may still be greater than or equal to the charging device output power. This may be because the user manually turned on the electronic device after the vehicle's electronic devices were turned off. For example, the HCU turned off the air conditioner, and the user manually turned it on. It may also be because the user manually turned on another electronic device after the vehicle's electronic devices were turned off. For example, the HCU turned off the air conditioner, and the user turned on the infotainment system and lighting system.

[0097] The embodiment provided in the present application controls the vehicle to exit the charging function if the power battery discharge power is greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device for a duration greater than or equal to a second preset time after the electronic equipment of the vehicle is controlled to be turned off. This can avoid the risk of overheating or damage to the power battery system operating under high load for a long time, thereby improving the charging safety of hybrid vehicles.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the exit charging function indication information is received and / or the vehicle completes charging, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function, and the exit charging function indication information is used to indicate whether the vehicle meets a second preset condition for exiting the charging function.

[0099] If the vehicle completes charging and / or receives instruction information indicating that the vehicle meets the condition for exiting the charging function (second preset condition), the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging function. It should be understood that the second preset condition can be multiple conditions or one condition.

[0100] Whether the vehicle meets one or more conditions for exiting the charging function can be indicated by exiting the charging function indication information. The exiting charging function indication information can be a flag bit. For example, if the exiting charging function indication information is "1", it indicates that the vehicle meets the conditions for exiting charging. If the exiting charging function indication information is "0", it indicates that the vehicle does not meet the conditions for exiting charging.

[0101] For example, the conditions for the vehicle to exit charging may include:

[0102] (1) The CDU detects that the DC charging port is not connected or abnormally connected;

[0103] (2) The HCU detects a fault in the vehicle's power system, which affects charging. That is, a high-voltage power failure occurs, and charging stops;

[0104] (3) The power battery charging request signal BMSCrgeDCReq=0 sent by the BMS to the HCU (1 indicates a DC charging request, 0 indicates no DC charging request);

[0105] (4) The HCU receives the DC charging pile status from the CDU as active stop;

[0106] (5) The CDU detects temperature sensor 1 or temperature sensor 2 on the DC charging device, and the temperature reported by one of the temperature sensors exceeds 80°C (calibration is possible);

[0107] (6) The battery DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow=0 sent by the HCU to the BMS, that is, the battery DC charging permission signal changes from charging permission to charging permission. After that, within 3 minutes (which can be calibrated), the CDU continues to send the charging device status signal CrgerDCSts=0 (0 means not running, 1 means running);

[0108] (7) If the HCU determines that the power battery output current is greater than or equal to 1A (calibrable) and lasts for 15 minutes, the HCU prohibits the air conditioner high voltage from being enabled. After the HCU prohibits the air conditioner high voltage from being enabled, if the HCU determines that the power battery continues to output a current greater than or equal to 1A (calibrable) for 5 minutes, the HCU controls the charging process to exit.

[0109] (8) After the HCU sends the battery DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow = 1 to the BMS, the BMS continuously reports BatCrgeDCSts = 0 within a certain period of time (3 minutes, calibrable), (0 indicates DC not charging, 1 indicates DC charging, and 2 indicates DC charging completed);

[0110] (9) The signal CrgeDCMd_INSC sent by the INSC to the HCU is 1 (1 indicates immediate charging, 0 indicates timed charging) and the signal InstCrgeReq is 0 (0 indicates immediate DC charging stop, 1 indicates immediate DC charging start);

[0111] (10) The signal CrgeDCMd_INSC sent by the INSC to the HCU is 0 (0 indicates scheduled charging, 1 indicates immediate charging) and the signal TimCrgeReq is 0 (0 indicates scheduled DC charging is stopped, 1 indicates scheduled DC charging is started);

[0112] (11) The HCU receives the charging port electronic lock status from the BCM, which is unlocked.

[0113] It should be understood that if any of the above conditions are met, the HCU will trigger the charging function to be terminated. The HCU will then inform the user of the reason for the charging function termination through the instrument display, INSC and mobile phone app.

[0114] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle to exit the charging function can be achieved by updating the signal states of multiple first timing signals according to a first precondition, where the first precondition is used to represent the conditions that need to be met for updating the signal states of the first timing signals.

[0115] Taking DC charging as an example, when the vehicle completes charging or meets any of the above charging exit conditions, the following steps are performed:

[0116] (1) HCU sends an enable signal DCDCEnble=0 (1 means enable, 0 means disable) to DCDC, prohibiting DCDC from being enabled;

[0117] (2) The HCU sends an air conditioning enable signal CondACON = 0 to the HVAC (0 means the air conditioning is off, 1 means the air conditioning is on);

[0118] (3) When DCDCEnble = 0, the HCU sends a DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow = 0 to the BMS (0 means DC charging is not allowed, 1 means DC charging is allowed), and the BMS and CDU control the DC charging pile to stop output;

[0119] (4) After CrgeDCAllow=0, the CDU sends the charging device working status signal CrgerDCSts=0 to the HCU (0 means not running, 1 means running)

[0120] (5) After CrgerDCSts=0, the BMS sends the power battery current signal to the HCU, and the HCU determines whether the power battery current BatCurt is less than 3.5A (calibrable);

[0121] (6) If BatCurt is less than 3.5A (calibrable), the HCU controls the vehicle high voltage to be powered off, and the HCU sends a command to the BMS to disconnect the main relay;

[0122] (7) Control the BMS to send a signal to the HCU indicating that the high-voltage relay of the power battery is closed (HVRelay=0) (1 indicates that the high-voltage relay is closed, and 0 indicates that the high-voltage relay is disconnected).

[0123] The HCU controls the vehicle power system to complete high-voltage power-down. After a specified time, the vehicle controller enters sleep mode.

[0124] It should be understood that the above-mentioned enable signal DCDCEnble, air conditioning enable signal CondACON, DC charging permission signal CrgeDCAllow, charging device working status signal CrgerDCSts, power battery current signal BatCurt and power battery high-voltage relay closure HVRelay can be regarded as the first timing signal.

[0125] The vehicle charging function exit completion judgment mark is: the power battery high-voltage relay is closed HVRelay=0.

[0126] It should be understood that the above-mentioned DCDCEnble=0 is the first precondition of the DC charging enable signal CrgeDCAllow (first timing signal), that is, when DCDCEnble=0, the DC charging enable signal CrgeDCAllow is converted (updated) from allowing charging to not allowing charging, that is, the DC charging enable signal changes from 1 to 0; CrgeDCAllow=0 is the first precondition of the working state signal CrgerDCSts, that is, when CrgeDCAllow=0, the working state signal CrgerDCSts is converted from running to not running, that is, the working state signal changes from 1 to 0. The above-mentioned exit charging steps and the attached Figure 5 This has been described and demonstrated in detail and will not be repeated here.

[0127] The embodiments of this application provide Figure 5 In the case that the vehicle meets any of the charging exit conditions, the DCDCEnble signal and the CondACON signal are updated from the enabled state and the open state to the disabled state and the closed state respectively; after the DCDCEnble signal is updated from the enabled state to the disabled state, the CrgeDCAllow signal is updated to the charging not allowed state; after the CrgeDCAllow signal is updated to the charging not allowed state, the CrgerDCSts signal is updated from the running state to the non-running state; thereafter, when the BatCurt signal indicates that the current is less than the specified value, the HVRelay signal is updated to 0, indicating that the main relay is disconnected.

[0128] The embodiment of the present application realizes the vehicle exit charging function by updating the signal status of multiple first timing signals according to the first pre-condition, thereby ensuring the reliability and success rate of the vehicle exit charging process, and avoiding the failure of vehicle charging exit caused by timing confusion and the resulting safety accidents.

[0129] In some embodiments, if a power battery heating request signal is received, the power battery is heated; when the temperature of the power battery is greater than or equal to a preset temperature, the vehicle is controlled to start a charging heating function.

[0130] For example, with the vehicle key in the KEY-OFF or KEY-ACC position, the DC charging cable connected, and the DC charger activated, the vehicle will enter the DC charging process. If the power battery temperature is too low, the water heating system will automatically detect this and issue a power battery heating request signal, then heat the power battery. Charging will resume only after the power battery temperature reaches the required level. If a fault with the DC charger or vehicle is detected during charging, the vehicle will automatically exit the charging process.

[0131] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle to activate the charging and heating function includes at least one of the following:

[0132] When the vehicle meets the conditions for starting the charging and heating function, the charging pile output voltage indication signal is received. The charging pile output voltage indication signal is used to indicate whether the charging pile output voltage has reached the power battery voltage. If the charging pile output voltage indication signal indicates that the charging pile output voltage has reached the power battery voltage, the charging relay and the pre-charging relay are controlled to close in sequence;

[0133] receiving voltage difference indication information, the voltage difference indication information being used to indicate whether the difference between the motor bus voltage and the power battery voltage is less than or equal to a preset voltage value; if the voltage difference indication information indicates that the difference between the motor bus voltage and the power battery voltage is less than or equal to the preset voltage value, controlling the main relay to close and the pre-charging relay to open, controlling the charging device to output a constant voltage to provide energy required for heating the power battery;

[0134] Control the positive temperature coefficient thermistor to close;

[0135] Controls the DC converter enable.

[0136] Exemplarily, the control method for triggering the vehicle to enter the charging and heating mode may include one or more of the following steps:

[0137] 1) After the HCU determines that the charging and heating function conditions are met, it sends a "DC charging permission signal = 1" (1 means permission, 0 means non-application);

[0138] 2) After the HCU determines that the "DC charging pile output voltage signal" reaches the current power battery voltage, it closes the DC charging relay and pre-charging relay in sequence, uses the DC charging pile for pre-charging, and jumps to step 4);

[0139] 3) If after 5 minutes, the HCU determines that the "DC charging pile output voltage signal" does not reach the current power battery voltage, the HCU controls the DC charging heating power-on function to exit;

[0140] 4) After closing the high-voltage pre-charge relay, the HCU determines that the voltage difference between the motor bus voltage and the power battery voltage is less than 20V (calibrable), the HCU determines that pre-charging is complete, and jumps to step 5). If the high-voltage pre-charge relay is closed for 5 minutes and the HCU determines that the voltage difference between the motor bus voltage and the battery voltage is still not less than 20V (calibrable), the HCU controls the DC charging and heating mode to power on and exit;

[0141] 5) The HCU sends a CAN signal to the BMS, which closes the main relay and disconnects the pre-charge relay in sequence. The CDU controls the constant voltage output of the charging device to provide energy for heating the power battery.

[0142] 6) HCU sends a positive temperature coefficient thermistor closing signal to BMS, and BMS controls the positive temperature coefficient thermistor to close;

[0143] 7) The HCU sends a signal to the DCDC to enable the DCDC, and the DC charging and heating function control is started.

[0144] In some embodiments, in response to charging and heating function abnormality information, the vehicle is controlled to exit the charging and heating function; the charging and heating function abnormality information includes a charging pile output voltage indication signal indicating that the voltage output by the charging pile does not reach the power battery voltage, and a voltage difference indication information indicating that the difference between the motor bus voltage and the power battery voltage is always greater than a preset voltage value within a third preset time length.

[0145] For example, if after 5 minutes, the HCU determines that the "DC charging pile output voltage signal" does not reach the current power battery voltage, the HCU controls the DC charging heating power-on function to exit.

[0146] For example, if the high-voltage pre-charging relay is closed for 5 minutes, the HCU determines that the voltage difference between the motor bus voltage and the battery voltage is still not less than 20V (calibrable), and the HCU controls the DC charging heating mode to power on and exit.

[0147] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle to exit the charging and heating function includes at least one of the following:

[0148] Disable the DC converter enable;

[0149] Control the positive temperature coefficient thermal relay to disconnect;

[0150] When the positive temperature coefficient thermistor relay is disconnected, power battery current indication information is obtained, the power battery current indication information is used to indicate whether the power battery current is less than a preset current value. If the power battery current indication information indicates that the power battery current is less than the preset current value, the power battery main relay and the DC charging relay are controlled to be closed in sequence;

[0151] If charging and heating are completed and no charging request information is received, a fast discharge instruction is sent to the control drive motor controller.

[0152] Exemplarily, in the DC charging and heating mode, controlling the vehicle to exit the charging and heating function includes the following steps:

[0153] 1) HCU sends a CAN signal to DCDC to disable DCDC;

[0154] 2) HCU sends a command to disconnect the positive temperature coefficient thermistor to BMS, and BMS disconnects the positive temperature coefficient thermistor;

[0155] 3) After the HCU determines that the DCDC working state is disabled, the HCU sends a "DC charging and heating permission signal = 0" to the BMS (0 means DC charging and heating is not allowed, 1 means DC charging and heating is allowed);

[0156] 4) If the HCU determines that the power battery current is less than 3.5A (calibrable), execute steps 5) and 6). If the power battery current is greater than 3.5A (calibrable), wait for 5 seconds and then execute steps 5) and 6.

[0157] 5) HCU controls the disconnection of the power battery main relay and DC charging relay in sequence;

[0158] 6) If the HCU determines that DC charging and heating are completed and there is no DC charging request, it sends a fast discharge instruction to the MCU. If the HCU determines that DC charging and heating are completed and there is a DC charging request, it does not send a fast discharge instruction to the MCU;

[0159] 7) The DC charging and heating function control exit is completed.

[0160] The embodiments provided in this application improve the safety of the power battery charging and heating function by controlling the start and exit of charging and heating.

[0167] The third control module 604 is used to control the vehicle to exit the charging function after controlling the electronic equipment of the vehicle to be turned off, if the duration of the power battery discharge power being greater than or equal to the output power of the charging device is greater than or equal to a second preset time, wherein the second preset time is less than the first preset time.
