[0048] Figure 1-10 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the topological structure of the energy conversion system of a vehicle of the present invention. Figure 1-10 As shown, the vehicle's energy conversion system reuses the vehicle's electric drive system to reduce the production cost of the entire vehicle, reduce the weight of the vehicle, and optimize the spatial layout of the entire vehicle.

[0049] The energy conversion system of the vehicle comprises: two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) of the vehicle electric drive system, at least one set of multi-phase windings 30, a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2, and a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0050] The energy conversion system of the vehicle of the present invention reuses the electric drive system of the vehicle, and can realize any one of the four modes of boost charging, buck charging, boost discharge and buck discharge when the vehicle battery is charged and discharged, and can meet the mutual compatibility and optimal power transmission between the vehicle battery and external devices of platforms with different voltage levels. When heating the vehicle battery, it can directly generate high-frequency current to form internal resistance heating of the battery, directly heat the battery, and the heating speed is greatly improved, which greatly improves the heating efficiency, and does not need to rely on the cooling circuit.

[0051] like Figure 1-10As shown, the busbar of the first multi-phase inverter 10 is connected in parallel with the battery of the vehicle and the first capacitor C1, the busbar of the second multi-phase inverter 20 is connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2 and the external device, and the busbar of the second multi-phase inverter 20 and the external device can be connected and disconnected through the first switch K1.

[0052] The two-pole (i.e., positive and negative) busbars of the first multi-phase inverter 10 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first capacitor C1 and the two-pole (i.e., positive and negative) busbars of the vehicle battery. That is, the first multi-phase inverter 10 is connected in parallel with the first capacitor C1 and the vehicle battery.

[0053] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the busbar of the second multi-phase inverter 20 is connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2 and the external device, and the busbar of the second multi-phase inverter 20 and the external device can be switched on and off through the first switch K1.

[0054] The two-pole (i.e., positive and negative) busbars of the second multi-phase inverter 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first capacitor C1 and the two-pole (i.e., positive and negative) busbars of the external device. That is, the second multi-phase inverter 20 is connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2 and the external device. The first switch K1 is arranged between the second capacitor C2 and the external device, so that the on-off between the external device and the second multi-phase inverter 20 is controlled by the first switch K1.

[0055] Specifically, the first switch K1 is disposed between one pole (positive pole or negative pole) of the busbar of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 and the external device.

[0056] Optionally, the external device is a charging device or a power-consuming device.

[0057] like Figure 1-10 As shown, at least one bus bar (positive or negative) between the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 and the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 is connected to each other.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the first busbar (e.g., ground terminal, negative pole) of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 is directly connected to the first busbar of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20, and the second busbar of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 is connected to the second busbar (e.g., positive pole) of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 in an on-off manner through a third switch K3.

[0059] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , 4 , 8 and 9 , the first busbar of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 is directly connected to the first busbar of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 , and the second busbar of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 is not connected to the second busbar of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 .

[0060] In the above embodiment, the first busbars of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 and the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 can be either a positive busbar or a negative busbar. Similarly, the second busbars of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10 and the second group of multi-phase inverters 20 can be either a negative busbar or a positive busbar.

[0061] like Figure 1-10 As shown, at least one group of multi-phase windings 30 is respectively connected to the midpoints of the bridge arms of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20).

[0062] Optionally, when the multi-phase windings 30 are a group, the neutral point of the group of multi-phase windings 30 is opened, and the two ends of the multi-phase windings 30 are respectively connected to the midpoints of the bridge arms of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20).

[0063] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , 4 As shown in , 7 and 9, the multi-phase winding 30 is a group, and the neutral point of the multi-phase winding 30 is opened, one end of the multi-phase winding 30 is respectively connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10, and the other end of the multi-phase winding 30 is respectively connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20.

[0064] Optionally, there are two groups of multi-phase windings 30, the neutral points of one end of the two groups of multi-phase windings 30 are connected to each other, and the other ends of the multi-phase windings 30 are respectively connected to the midpoints of the bridge arms of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20).

[0065] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , 3 As shown in , 6 and 8, there are two groups of multi-phase windings 30, and the neutral points of the two groups of multi-phase windings 30 are connected to each other, one end of one multi-phase winding 30 is respectively connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm of the first group of multi-phase inverters 10, and one end of the other multi-phase winding 30 is respectively connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm of the second group of multi-phase inverters 20.

[0066] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and 10As shown, the first busbar of the first group of multiphase inverters 10 is directly connected to the first busbar of the second group of multiphase inverters 20, and the second busbar of the first group of multiphase inverters 10 is not connected to the second busbar of the second group of multiphase inverters 20. There are two groups of multiphase windings 30, one end of the first group of multiphase windings 30 is respectively connected to the middle point of the bridge arm of the first group of multiphase inverters 10, and the neutral point of the first group of multiphase windings 30 is connected to the second busbar of the second group of multiphase inverters through the fourth switch K4, and one end of the second group of multiphase windings 30 is respectively connected to the middle point of the bridge arm of the second group of multiphase inverters 20, and the neutral point of the second group of multiphase windings 30 is connected to the second busbar of the first group of multiphase inverters 10 through the fifth switch K5.

[0067] In the above embodiment, when there are two groups of multi-phase windings 30, the two groups of multi-phase windings 30 can be placed in different pole pairs using one motor, or one group of multi-phase windings 30 can be selected from each of the two motors.

[0068] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-10 As shown, the battery of the vehicle is directly connected to the external device in a disconnectable manner.

[0069] Alternatively, if Figure 1-5 As shown, one pole (positive or negative) of the battery of the vehicle is directly connected to one pole (positive or negative) of the external device through the second switch K2. In this embodiment, the battery of the vehicle and the external device can be directly connected at the negative pole or at the positive pole.

[0070] Optionally, the positive and negative poles of the battery of the vehicle can be directly connected to the positive and negative poles of the external device in an on-off manner. Figure 6-10 As shown, the negative electrode of the vehicle battery is directly connected to the negative electrode of the external device through the second switch K2, and the positive electrode of the vehicle battery is directly connected to the positive electrode of the external device through the sixth switch K6.

[0071] In this embodiment, by directly connecting the battery of the vehicle to an external device, the energy conversion system of the vehicle can also realize direct charging and discharging of the battery of the vehicle.

[0072] In the above embodiment, when the battery of the vehicle is directly charged and discharged, the busbars of two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) can be used to realize the transmission of electric energy, or a connecting line can be independently set between the vehicle battery and the external device, and can be connected in an on-off manner to avoid coupling with the vehicle's electric drive system during the direct charging and discharging process.

[0073] The controller of the vehicle's energy conversion system is connected to a first switch K1, a second switch K2 and two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to control the on and off of the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 and drive the two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to operate, so as to realize boost / lower voltage charging and discharging of the vehicle or battery heating of the vehicle.

[0074] Specifically, in the vehicle charging and discharging scenario, the voltage level and charging and discharging requirements of the external equipment are judged through messages or voltage detection devices, and one of boost charging, buck charging, boost discharging, and buck discharging is selected in combination with the real-time charging and discharging capabilities of the battery.

[0075] When the boost charging, buck discharging, buck charging or boost discharging mode is selected, the controller controls the bridge arm switches of the two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to charge the second capacitor C2 to the target voltage. Then the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are controlled to close to enter the boost charging or buck discharging process. The controller controls the bridge arm switches of the two sets of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to complete the boost charging or buck discharging process.

[0076] In some of the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, when the second busbars of the first multi-phase inverter 10 and the second multi-phase inverter 20 are connected in a switchable manner through the third switch K3, the controller is also connected to the third switch K3. At this time, the charging and discharging scenario also includes a direct charging and discharging mode, that is, the battery of the vehicle is directly connected to the external device without boosting or reducing the voltage.

[0077] When the direct charge and discharge mode is selected, the controller controls the first switch K1 , the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 to be closed.

[0078] In some of the above embodiments, such as Figure 6-10 As shown, when the negative electrode of the vehicle battery is directly connected to the negative electrode of the external device through the second switch K2, and the positive electrode of the vehicle battery is directly connected to the positive electrode of the external device through the sixth switch K6, the controller is also connected to the sixth switch K6. At this time, the charging and discharging scenario also includes a direct charging and discharging mode, that is, the battery of the vehicle is directly connected to the external device without boosting or reducing the voltage.

[0079] When the direct charge and discharge mode is selected, the controller controls the first switch K1 and the third switch K3 to be disconnected, and controls the second switch K2 and the sixth switch K6 to be closed.

[0080] Specifically, in a battery heating scenario, the controller controls the step-up or step-down electrical energy conversion between the vehicle's battery and the energy storage device to generate a high-frequency alternating current through the vehicle's battery, using the thermal effect of the current to heat the battery.

[0081] Optionally, the energy storage device is a multi-phase winding 30 or a second capacitor C2 of the electric drive system.

[0082] In one embodiment, when controlling the step-up or step-down electric energy conversion between the battery and the energy storage device of the vehicle, the controller controls the bridge arm switches of two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to operate synchronously to generate a high-frequency alternating current with variable amplitude and frequency, and the modulation wave of the synchronous operation of the bridge arm switches of the multi-phase inverter contains a DC component and an AC component.

[0083] In this embodiment, by controlling the bridge arms of the multi-phase inverter (10, 20) to operate simultaneously, it is ensured that the currents of the multi-phases of the inverter are the same in real time, the motor torque is completely eliminated, and the serious NVH problem caused by the low-order pulsating torque in the pulse heating of the multiplexed electric drive system is avoided; in addition, by selecting an energy storage device to use any waveform of pulse or sine, the duty cycle can be modulated to achieve real-time variable current amplitude / frequency / waveform to adapt to the battery heating requirements under different working conditions.

[0084] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, in the battery heating scenario, one of the three modes of inductive pulse heating, boost resonant heating, and buck resonant heating is selected according to the battery heating demand and component stress.

[0085] When the inductive pulse heating mode is selected, the controller controls the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 to be disconnected and the third switch K3 to be closed, and controls the upper bridge arm switches of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) to be turned on and off simultaneously through an open-loop table lookup or a duty cycle signal of a closed-loop control, and to be turned on complementary to the lower bridge arm switches of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20), thereby generating a high-frequency pulse current with a target amplitude / frequency required by the battery in real time to heat the battery.

[0086] When the boost resonant heating mode or the buck resonant heating mode is selected, the first switch K1, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are controlled to be disconnected, and the on and off of the bridge arm switches of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20) are controlled by the duty cycle signal of the open-loop table lookup or closed-loop control, and the second capacitor C2 is precharged to the target DC voltage and maintained. The target value of the AC component of the heating current is given by the table lookup according to the real-time demand of the battery, and the error is subtracted from the neutral point current collected in real time by the current sensor. The error is output through the multi-order quasi-proportional resonant controller to output the AC duty cycle, which is superimposed with the DC duty cycle signal. The superimposed duty cycle signal is modulated and controlled to control the bridge arm switch action of the two groups of multi-phase inverters (10, 20), so that a high-frequency sinusoidal AC heating current with the target amplitude / frequency required by the battery in real time flows through the battery.

[0087] In some specific embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the phase winding LA1 of the motor A1, the phase winding LB1 of the motor B1, and the phase winding LC1 of the motor C1 constitute a first group of three-phase windings, the phase winding LA2 of the motor A2, the phase winding LB2 of the motor B2, and the phase winding LC2 of the motor C2 constitute a second group of three-phase windings, and the two groups of three-phase windings are connected through a neutral point; the main inverter (i.e., the first group of multi-phase inverters 10) is composed of a three-phase bridge arm composed of a switching device Q1, a switching device Q2, a switching device Q3, a switching device Q4, a switching device Q5, and a switching device Q6, and is correspondingly connected to the first group of three-phase windings; the auxiliary inverter (i.e., the second group of multi-phase inverters The inverter 20) is composed of a three-phase bridge arm consisting of a switch device Q7, a switch device Q8, a switch device Q9, a switch device Q10, a switch device Q11, and a switch device Q12, and is connected to the second group of three-phase windings accordingly; one end of the busbars of the two groups of inverters is directly connected, and the other end of the busbars is connected in a switchable manner by a relay K3 (i.e., a third switch); both ends of the main inverter busbar are connected in parallel to the busbar capacitor C1 (i.e., the first capacitor C1) and the two ends of the battery busbar, and both ends of the auxiliary inverter busbar are connected in a switchable manner in parallel to the external device interface through a relay K1 (i.e., the first switch) and a relay K2 (i.e., the second switch);

[0088] Charging and discharging scenarios: The voltage level and charging and discharging requirements of external devices are determined through messages or voltage detection devices. Combined with the real-time charging and discharging capabilities of the battery, one of the six modes of boost charging, buck charging, boost discharging, buck discharging, direct charging, and direct discharging is determined.

[0089] Entering the boost charging or buck discharging mode, the charging and discharging capacitor C2 (i.e., the second capacitor) is pre-charged to the target voltage by controlling the two sets of inverter bridge arm switches, and then K1 and K2 are closed, and K3 is kept disconnected. After entering the boost charging process, Q7 / Q9 / Q11 is kept turned on and Q8 / Q10 / Q12 is disconnected. The boost charging of the battery is achieved by controlling Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 / Q5 / Q6.
