The power module outputs alternating current, provides the power required for charging and is connected to the control conversion module. The output end of the power module is connected to the locomotive charging interface through a charging line, and the output end of the locomotive charging port is connected to the input end of the control conversion module. The control conversion module converts the alternating current into direct current suitable for charging. The output end of the control conversion module is connected to the input end of the fault detection module. The fault detection module monitors the system status in real time. The fault detection module includes multiple current, voltage, and temperature sensors and a monitoring system and two safety relays. The output end of the fault detection module is feedback-connected to the input end of the control conversion module. The transformer receives the direct current from the control conversion module for conversion. The output end of the transformer outputs power suitable for the vehicle battery system. The vehicle battery system is used to store and release electrical energy to supply power to the electric vehicle. Specifically, the power module is a built-in structure of the charging pile. The control conversion module, fault detection module, transformer and vehicle battery system are all internal components of the hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive. The transformer is selected from Triad Magnetics F-090, which is suitable for a variety of power applications and can withstand high short-circuit currents to ensure safety in fault conditions. Both safety relays are selected from Siemens' 3RT2022-1B, which has strong resistance to high voltage and pressure shock, high safety and rapid response.

[0020] The control conversion module includes an AC / DC converter, a charging control module and a display interface. The locomotive charging interface directly connects the power supply to the control conversion module inside the locomotive through a dedicated high-current carrying capacity cable. The AC / DC converter is used to convert alternating current into direct current to meet the charging needs of the battery. The output end of the AC / DC converter is connected to the input end of the charging control module. The charging control module is used to adjust the charging current, charging time and other control logic. The charging control module displays the charging status, progress and possible error information to the user through the display interface; Specifically, the AC / DC converter selected is Mean Well's LRS-350-48, which has high charging efficiency and good heat dissipation, and can handle different input voltage requirements. The display interface may also provide operating instructions and troubleshooting suggestions to help users quickly solve problems and improve charging convenience. The system can automatically cut off the power supply and prompt the user with fault information, and provide real-time feedback on the charging current and remaining time of the charging status to help users understand the progress.

[0021] The monitoring system of the fault detection module includes a main control chip, an automatic restart control logic and a relay restart module. The main control chip receives status and feedback information from each module, and can send instructions to other parts of the system for adjustment based on this information. Each sensor, automatic restart control logic and relay restart module will feed back the obtained information to the main control chip. The main control chip sends the fault status and monitoring results to the automatic restart control logic through digital signals or analog signals. The automatic restart control logic determines whether a fault occurs and decides whether the system needs to be restarted based on the monitoring information from the fault detection module. The automatic restart control logic transmits the information to the relay restart module to control the opening and closing of the relay, thereby restoring the power supply to the power supply. Two safety relays provide redundant protection. Safety relays A and B monitor the normal and redundant status of the system respectively. Once a part fails, the other part ensures that the system can still operate safely and charge while ensuring safety. The output end of the main control chip will feed back the detected information to the control conversion module and display it through the display interface to remind the owner of the specific fault information of the vehicle charging, which is used to quickly find the charging problem. Specifically, the setting of two safety relays extends the service life of the equipment and improves the overall charging efficiency.

[0022] When the fault detection module detects that the charging indicators are safe, it will convert the DC power transmitted by the fault detection module. The transformer is used for voltage conversion, current regulation, electrical safety isolation and signal transmission to ensure effective management and operational safety during battery charging. Based on the information received, the main control chip can adjust various parts of the system in real time and send instructions for adjustments, thereby improving the reliability of the system.

[0023] The vehicle battery system includes a hydrogen fuel cell and a battery management system. After receiving suitable electricity, the vehicle battery system supplies power to other loads. The hydrogen fuel cell converts hydrogen fuel into electrical energy to provide power support. The battery management system monitors and manages the status and health of the battery to ensure safe use. The output of the battery management system is connected to the input of the energy management unit. The energy management unit coordinates the energy output of the hydrogen fuel cell and battery to optimize energy utilization efficiency.
