[0016] Figure 1Schematic diagram of the process of the PTC heater power control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S110-S160.

[0017] S110 , controlling the sampling circuit to sample the PTC heater to obtain a plurality of sampling values.

[0018] In this embodiment, the sampling circuit is used to collect the voltage and current input to the PTC heater multiple times, and the multiple sampling values ​​can be obtained. Specifically, the controller sends a sampling command to the sampling circuit to enable the sampling circuit to sample the PTC heater to obtain the multiple sampling values. Among them, the multiple sampling values ​​include multiple voltage sampling values ​​and multiple current sampling values; the multiple voltage sampling values ​​are high-voltage input voltages, which are used to calculate power and overvoltage protection; the multiple current sampling values ​​are current values ​​flowing through the PTC core, which are used to calculate power and overcurrent protection. The PTC heater power control system may also include a temperature detector, which detects the system temperature through the temperature detector and shuts down when the system temperature exceeds a threshold value for over-temperature protection.

[0019] S120: Perform a preset calculation process on the multiple sampling values ​​to obtain a current power value.

[0020] In this embodiment, the current power value may be obtained by performing a preset calculation process on the multiple sampling values.

[0021] In one embodiment, the multiple sampling values ​​include multiple voltage sampling values ​​and multiple current sampling values; performing a preset calculation process on the multiple sampling values ​​to obtain the current power value includes: Performing mean processing on the multiple voltage sampling values ​​to obtain an average voltage sampling value, and performing mean processing on the multiple current sampling values ​​to obtain an average current sampling value; The average voltage sampling value and the average current sampling value are calculated and processed to obtain the current power value.

[0022] In this embodiment, the sampling circuit collects the voltage and current input to the PTC heater multiple times within the second preset period, and can obtain the multiple voltage sampling values ​​and the multiple current sampling values. The second preset period may include 1 second, 2 seconds, etc., and the second preset period includes multiple second preset sub-periods, such as the second preset sub-period may be 100 microseconds, 200 microseconds, etc. In this way, the sampling circuit can collect the voltage and current input to the PTC heater 10,000 times within the second preset period to obtain 10,000 voltage sampling values ​​and 10,000 current sampling values, that is, the number of sampling times = second preset period / second preset sub-period.

[0023] The multiple voltage sampling values ​​among the multiple sampling values ​​are averaged to obtain an average voltage sampling value, and the multiple current sampling values ​​among the multiple sampling values ​​are averaged to obtain an average current sampling value; the average voltage sampling value and the average current sampling value are calculated to obtain the current power value. Specifically, within the second preset period, the multiple voltage sampling values ​​are added to obtain a total voltage sampling value, and the total voltage sampling value / the number of samplings is used to equal the average voltage sampling value for calculation processing; similarly, within the second preset period, the multiple current sampling values ​​are added to obtain a current sampling value, and the total current sampling value / the number of samplings is used to equal the average current sampling value for calculation processing; the average voltage sampling value and the average current sampling value are multiplied by the formula of power = voltage * current to obtain the current power value. The current power value is the average power value within the second preset period.

[0024] Through the above embodiments, it can be known that the average voltage sampling value and the average current sampling value are obtained by respectively performing average processing on the collected multiple voltage sampling values ​​and the multiple current sampling values, and the average voltage sampling value and the average current sampling value are calculated and processed to obtain the current power value, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the data so that targeted processing can be performed later according to the current power value.

[0025] S130. Perform a difference calculation based on the acquired target power value and the current power value to obtain a power difference value.

[0026] In this embodiment, the PTC heater power control system may further include a vehicle control terminal, which is controlled by a vehicle user; the target power value may be obtained from the vehicle control terminal. Specifically, the target power value and the current power value are subjected to a difference calculation process to obtain the power difference, that is, the power difference = the target power value - the current power value.

[0027] S140: Compare the power difference with a preset difference to obtain a comparison result.

[0028] In this embodiment, the comparison result includes comparison results of two situations, the first result is that the power difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, and the second result is that the power difference is greater than the preset difference. The preset difference can be configured according to actual conditions; that is, the power difference is compared with the preset difference to obtain comparison results of the two situations that the power difference is less than or equal to the preset difference and the power difference is greater than the preset difference.

[0029] S150: Adjust the current duty cycle based on the comparison result to obtain a target duty cycle.

[0030] In this embodiment, the current duty cycle may be a preset initial duty cycle or an adjusted duty cycle.

[0031] In one embodiment, adjusting the current duty cycle based on the comparison result to obtain the target duty cycle includes: If the comparison result is that the power difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, then increasing the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle; or If the comparison result is that the power difference is greater than the preset difference, the current duty cycle is subtracted to obtain the target duty cycle.

[0032] In one embodiment, the step of performing value-added processing on the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle includes: Get the preset value-added ratio; The current duty cycle is added to the preset value-added ratio to obtain the target duty cycle.

[0033] In one embodiment, the step of performing a decrement process on the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle includes: Obtain the preset impairment ratio; The target duty cycle is obtained by subtracting the current duty cycle from the preset decrement ratio.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the comparison result is that the power difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, the current duty cycle is value-added to obtain the target duty cycle; specifically, the preset value-added ratio is obtained; the current duty cycle is added to the preset value-added ratio to obtain the target duty cycle, that is, the current duty cycle + the preset value-added ratio = the target duty cycle; and after each preset duration, the target duty cycle is used as the current duty cycle, and the current duty cycle is added to the preset value-added ratio to obtain the target duty cycle. The preset value-added ratio can be a value such as 0.1%, 0.2%, etc.

[0035] When the comparison result is that the power difference is greater than the preset difference, the current duty cycle is deducted to obtain the target duty cycle; specifically, the preset deduction ratio is obtained; the current duty cycle is subtracted from the preset deduction ratio to obtain the target duty cycle, that is, the current duty cycle - the preset deduction ratio = the target duty cycle; and after each preset duration, the target duty cycle is used as the current duty cycle, and the current duty cycle is subtracted from the preset deduction ratio to obtain the target duty cycle. The preset deduction ratio can be a value such as 0.1%, 0.2%, etc.

[0036] Through the above embodiments, it can be known that when the comparison result is that the power difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, the preset appreciation ratio is used to perform appreciation processing on the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle; when the comparison result is that the power difference is greater than the preset difference, the preset depreciation ratio is used to perform depreciation processing on the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle, thereby achieving standardized processing of adjusting the current duty cycle according to the comparison result to obtain the target duty cycle, ensuring the timeliness of the adjustment and improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0037] S160. For the vehicle battery pack, the IGBT component performs continuous power control processing to the LC circuit according to the target duty cycle, so that the LC circuit can adjust the average voltage value of the PTC heater in each first preset cycle in real time, and the current value of the PTC heater in each first preset cycle forms a preset waveform, thereby realizing power control of the PTC heater.

[0038] In this embodiment, the LC circuit includes a capacitor, an inductor and a diode, etc. The first end of the capacitor is connected to the second end of the inductor and the PTC heater, and the second end of the capacitor is connected to the positive electrode of the diode; the first end of the inductor is connected to the negative electrode of the diode and the IGBT component.

[0039] Specifically, step S160 includes: in each first preset cycle, under the control of the IGBT component according to the target duty cycle, the vehicle battery pack realizes the charging process of the inductor in the LC circuit to increase the average voltage value input to the PTC heater, and input a higher first current to the PTC heater, so as to achieve the effect of turning on the PTC heater; and when the vehicle battery pack does not charge the inductor in the LC circuit, the inductor in the LC circuit continues to flow, so as to lower the average voltage value input to the PTC heater, and output a lower second current to the PTC heater, so as to achieve the effect of turning off the PTC heater; and in the next first preset cycle, continue to control according to the above steps. In this way, by adjusting the average voltage value in real time, the current input to the PTC heater is continuous, and no high peak current and noise are generated, thereby improving safety.

[0040] Among them, the first current is the highest current value, which can be 20A, etc., and can be set according to actual conditions; the second current is the lowest current value, which can be 0.5A, etc., and can be set according to actual conditions; the first preset period can include 1 second, 2 seconds, etc., and the first preset period includes multiple first preset sub-periods, for example, the first preset sub-period can be 100 microseconds, 200 microseconds, etc.

[0041] In one embodiment, the change trend of the preset waveform is a continuous waveform.

[0042] In this embodiment, under the control of the IGBT component according to the target duty cycle, the vehicle battery pack realizes the charging process of the inductor in the LC circuit to increase the average voltage value input to the PTC heater, and input a higher first current to the PTC heater, so as to achieve the effect of turning on the PTC heater; and when the vehicle battery pack does not charge the LC circuit, the inductor in the LC circuit continues to flow, so as to lower the average voltage value input to the PTC heater, and input a lower second current to the PTC heater, so as to achieve the effect of turning off the PTC heater; therefore, the average voltage value in each first preset cycle of the PTC heater is adjusted in real time through the LC circuit, so that the current value input to the PTC heater is continuous, that is, the current value of the PTC heater in each first preset cycle forms a continuous waveform, so as to achieve the power control of the PTC heater. Therefore, in the control process, the current input to the PTC heater is continuous, and no high peak current and no noise are generated, thereby improving safety.

[0043] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention can use the comparison result to adjust the current duty cycle to obtain the target duty cycle, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency; the embodiment of the present invention can also use the vehicle battery pack, and the IGBT component performs continuous power control processing to the LC circuit according to the target duty cycle, so that the LC circuit can adjust the average voltage value of each first preset cycle of the PTC heater in real time, and the current value of the PTC heater in each first preset cycle forms a preset waveform, thereby realizing power control of the PTC heater. Therefore, during the control process, the current input to the PTC heater is continuous, and no high peak current or noise is generated, thereby improving safety.
