Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery charging, in particular to a low-temperature slow charging control method and device and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The winter in low-temperature regions such as the Northeast and Northwest regions is extremely cold and lasts for a long time, and the access amount of new energy vehicles is far less than that in other regions. This shows that low temperature still has a certain impact on the purchase intention of consumers, and the low-temperature resistance technology of vehicles needs to be further broken through. Improving the user experience of electric vehicles in cold regions is a key problem restricting the promotion of electric vehicles, which includes two technologies that need to be improved, namely, improving the range attenuation and improving the low-temperature charging speed.

[0003] In the underdeveloped northern region of fast charging stations, slow charging is a relatively easy and popular power supplement method. However, the ambient temperature is low, and the charging power of the battery is limited due to its physical and chemical characteristics, for example, a small car equipped with a lithium battery at present, at a low temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, the charging power limit may be lower than 0.5kW, which will cause the charging time to be too long. Therefore, the battery pack starts the heating system at low temperature to improve the battery temperature so as to improve the charging power permitted by the battery itself. The common heating system is to heat the battery module by using a thermistor or to heat the circulating water by using a thermistor, and then the circulating water heats the battery module. When the heating is started during charging, the heating system will consume the energy provided by the charging pile.

[0004] The slow charging power is usually 3.3kW or 6.6kW standard power, and the high-power slow charging 11kW is very rare even in the south, and it is more difficult to find in the north. 3.3kW is a common charging pile in the northern region. Therefore, in the case of limited charging pile power, how to allocate the battery pack heating and the battery pack charging is an important problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0028] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0029] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.

[0030] The common solution in the prior art is calibration, that is, at different low temperatures, the temperature point or heating time is found through calibration, a fixed threshold of heating target higher than the ambient temperature is set, or the time is periodically cycled for heating, or a maximum power of the self-heater is set for timing heating, etc.

[0031] It can be understood that, since the slow charging pile power is always limited, if the power consumed for heating is large, the power for charging the battery pack will be small, resulting in slow charging speed; if the power for charging is large, the power for heating will be small, and the battery pack may be cooled down, further limiting the charging power, and also resulting in slow charging speed. The technical problem of slow charging speed due to slow charging power limitation and poor power distribution in a low-temperature environment still needs to be faced.

[0032] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a low-temperature slow charging control method, which is described in detail with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a first embodiment of a low-temperature slow charging control method of the present application is shown in FIG. 3.

[0033] It should be noted that the execution subject of the present embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device, a vehicle, etc. capable of realizing the above functions. The present embodiment and the following embodiments will be described taking a vehicle as an example.

[0034] In the present embodiment, the low-temperature slow charging control method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0035] Step S10, obtaining temperature rise data of the battery pack.

[0036] It should be noted that the temperature rise data of the battery pack generally refers to the temperature rise value of the battery pack relative to the ambient temperature during operation. This data is one of the important indicators for evaluating the thermal management performance, safety and service life of the battery pack.

[0037] It can be understood that in the low-temperature slow-charging environment faced by the present solution, the temperature rise data of the battery pack often depends on the distribution of heating power. The greater the heating power, the faster the temperature rise rate of the battery pack is generally. This is because more heat is input into the battery pack, causing the temperature to rise rapidly. Therefore, in the present application, the temperature rise data of the battery pack refers to the temperature rise data corresponding to the change of heating power, i.e. the heating power corresponding to the stable temperature at each temperature point.

[0038] In a feasible implementation, the present application provides a method for obtaining the temperature rise data corresponding to the change of heating power, as follows: obtaining the thermal conductivity parameter of the battery pack; based on the thermal conductivity parameter of the battery pack, obtaining a preset heating power for the battery pack temperature to reach a preset target temperature; based on the preset heating power, obtaining the temperature rise data of the battery pack.

[0039] It can be understood that the thermal conductivity parameter generally includes thermal conductivity coefficient, also known as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, etc., which describes the performance of the material in the process of heat conduction.

[0040] It should be noted that special thermal conductivity measuring instruments such as hot-wire method, laser flash method, etc. can be used to directly measure the thermal conductivity coefficient of the battery pack or key materials therein. It should be noted that these methods usually require the destruction of the battery pack to obtain test samples. The thermal conductivity coefficient can also be calculated by measuring the temperature change of the battery pack under certain conditions, combined with the heat transfer equation. For example, by measuring the temperature change and time of the battery pack during heating or cooling, as well as the size and mass of the battery, etc., the thermal conductivity coefficient can be calculated using the concepts of thermal resistance and heat capacity. The physical properties of the battery pack shell design need to be considered.

[0041] It should be noted that the target temperature that the battery pack needs to reach is selected as the preset target temperature for calculating the preset heating power. According to the principle of thermodynamics, the heat Q required for the battery pack to rise from the current temperature to the target temperature is calculated. In order to estimate the required heating power, we need to consider the heating time and heating efficiency. The heating power P can be calculated by the following formula: P = Q / (t x η).

[0042] Where P is the heating power (W), Q is the required heat (J), and t is the heating time (s). In practical applications, the heating efficiency is usually not 100%, so an efficiency factor η needs to be introduced to correct the heating power.

[0043] It can be understood that the heating process of the battery pack is a complex heat transfer process involving heat conduction, convection and radiation and other heat transfer modes. Therefore, when calculating the heating power, the heat transfer process inside the battery pack and the heat dissipation conditions of the external environment also need to be considered.

[0044] It should be noted that based on the preset heating power, the temperature rise data of the heated battery pack can be obtained by fitting, real-time monitoring of temperature change under heating power change condition, and finally selecting a suitable fitting model for fitting, that is, the heating power corresponding to each temperature point when stable, that is, the temperature rise data.

[0045] Specifically, assuming that the rated power of the charging pile is 3.3kW, taking the initial environment temperature of the battery pack at-20 degrees Celsius as an example, when the battery pack temperature is heated from-20 degrees Celsius, the heating power corresponding to each temperature point when stable is the balance between the battery heating power and the heat exchange loss power of the battery pack and the environment. Under the condition of certain conduction and heat exchange coefficient, it basically shows a linear relationship.

[0046] It can be understood that since it is a linear relationship, when the battery pack is charging, the full power of the charging pile is used for heating, from the initial temperature of-20 degrees Celsius to a stable temperature point. According to the thermal conductivity coefficient of the battery pack and the physical characteristics of the shell design, the 3.3kW heating power can make the battery maintain around-10 degrees Celsius. Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagrammatical schematic diagram provided for the first embodiment of the low-temperature slow charging control method of the application, the-10 degrees Celsius point of 3.3kW and the original starting point get the heating temperature-power consumption line, that is, the temperature rise data of the battery pack.

[0047] It is worth noting that since 3.3kW is the maximum power that the charging pile can provide, the balance temperature point that can be maintained by 3.3kW heating power is the maximum heating power temperature point. If it exceeds this point to the right, it means that the battery pack heating power consumption exceeds the power provided by the charging pile, and the internal power of the battery pack will be consumed intensively.

[0048] Step S20, based on the temperature rise data of the battery pack, obtaining the charging available power of the battery pack.

[0049] It should be noted that the charging available power, that is, the charging power that the battery pack can accept, is limited by the output power of the charging pile and the necessary heating power in the low-temperature environment.

[0050] In an implementable embodiment, the present scheme provides a method for obtaining the chargeable power of the battery pack, as follows: obtaining the rated power of the charging pile; obtaining the residual power of the charging pile based on the rated power of the charging pile and the temperature rise data of the battery pack; and obtaining the chargeable power of the battery pack based on the residual power of the charging pile.

[0051] It can be understood that the rated power of the charging pile varies due to the differences in the type, design and technical parameters of the charging pile. An AC charging pile generally uses a 220V single-phase power supply, and its maximum power is usually between 3.3kW and 7kW. Such a charging pile is mainly used for home charging scenarios, and the charging speed is relatively slow, but it is suitable for charging at night or when the vehicle is parked for a long time.

[0052] It should be noted that the rated power of the charging pile can be obtained by the vehicle detecting pile signaling. The charging pile and the vehicle exchange information through specific communication protocols. These protocols usually include the charging control pilot (CP) signal and other related communication protocols (such as ISO 15118, GB / T 27930, etc.). Through these protocols, the vehicle can obtain the power supply capacity and charging parameters of the charging pile, so as to determine whether to start charging and the specific parameters during the charging process.

[0053] It should be noted that the residual power of the charging pile is obtained by subtracting the heating power in the temperature rise data of the battery pack from the rated power of the charging pile.

[0054] It should be noted that the chargeable power of the battery pack, in an ideal case, can be close to or equal to the residual power of the charging pile if the residual power of the charging pile is large enough and the battery pack is in an acceptable charging state.

[0055] Specifically, based on the above assumptions, referring to Figure 2 The chargeable power is obtained by subtracting the heating power value of the heating temperature-power consumption line from the rated power 3.3kW of the charging pile, which refers to the remaining charging power of the pile when heated to each temperature point.

[0056] In step S30, the power distribution point is confirmed based on the chargeable power.

[0057] It should be noted that the power distribution point is the proportion of the rated power of the charging pile allocated as heating power and charging power. For the charging power of the battery pack, it is limited by the chargeable power, so keeping the charging power as the chargeable power is the best energy utilization position. Therefore, confirming the power distribution point based on the chargeable power can achieve the best efficiency.

[0058] It can be understood that the heating power required to maintain the battery pack within the appropriate working temperature range is calculated according to the temperature of the battery pack and the manufacturer's recommendations. Under the limitation of the charging pile rated power and the charging available power, the power actually available for charging is determined. The charging power is kept equal to the charging available power to achieve the best use of energy. According to the determination results of the heating power requirement and the charging power, the power distribution point is calculated.

[0059] In a feasible implementation, the scheme provides a method for confirming the power distribution point based on the charging available power, as follows: obtaining the maximum allowable charging power of the battery pack; mapping the charging available power of the battery pack based on the maximum allowable charging power to obtain the correspondence between the maximum allowable charging power and the charging available power; and selecting the intersection point of the maximum allowable charging power and the charging available power as the power distribution point based on the correspondence.

[0060] It should be noted that the maximum allowable charging power of the battery pack represents the maximum charging power line of the battery due to the physical and chemical property limitations of the battery. Specifically, for example, with reference to Figure 2 When the battery temperature is lower than -24 degrees Celsius, only heating is allowed, and the battery pack cannot be used for charging at this time. This feature interval is the heating zone. If the battery temperature rises, the maximum allowable charging power also rises. When the battery temperature is -6 degrees Celsius, the battery pack allows charging power equal to the maximum power of the pile, and the power of the pile can be fully used for charging. In the interval of -24 degrees Celsius to -6 degrees Celsius, the power provided by the charging pile is greater than the allowable charging power of the battery pack. In this section, the energy of the charging pile can be allocated to a part of the battery pack for heating, thereby improving the charging speed. If the battery temperature continues to rise, the maximum allowable charging power of the battery will continue to rise and will exceed the multiple of the slow charging pile that can be provided. Typically, between 25 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, the allowable charging power reaches a peak, and when the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, the allowable charging rate will rapidly decrease in order to prevent further temperature rise from damaging the battery. Therefore, the relationship curve between the entire battery allowable charging power and the battery temperature is as shown in Figure 2 The relationship curve between the maximum allowable charging power of the battery and the battery temperature is obtained from the test data provided by the battery manufacturer according to the charging characteristics of the battery module.

[0061] It should be noted that the mapping of the charging available power of the battery pack based on the maximum allowable charging power is reflected in the graph according to the temperature of the battery pack, with the horizontal coordinate being the temperature of the battery pack and the vertical coordinate being the one-to-one correspondence, i.e., the correspondence between the maximum allowable charging power and the charging available power.

[0062] It should be noted that the intersection point of the maximum allowable charging power and the charging available power is selected as the power allocation point. In an ideal case, this intersection point represents the optimal state of the battery pack at a specific temperature, which can be safely charged and fully utilize the charging power. If the two curves intersect, the intersection point is selected as the power allocation point. If the two curves do not directly intersect, but have a certain overlapping area, a suitable point in the overlapping area needs to be selected as the power allocation point according to the charging strategy and safety considerations.

[0063] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the intersection point is the intersection point of the maximum allowable charging power curve and the charging available power curve on the image.

[0064] Step S40, based on the power allocation point, allocating the charging power for the battery pack to charge.

[0065] It should be noted that once the power allocation point is determined, the vehicle calculates the charging power that should be allocated to the battery pack according to this point. This power value should not exceed the maximum allowable charging power of the battery pack, nor the rated power of the charging pile itself, while also considering the real-time charging available power of the battery pack. At this time, heating can make the battery pack be in a stable temperature state, and charge at the maximum allowable charging power at this temperature point.

[0066] Specifically, in low-temperature slow charging, if the heating temperature does not rise enough, resulting in charging power lower than the remaining pile available power, there is obviously a waste of the maximum output power of the pile, so the efficiency will be lower than the present solution.

[0067] It can be understood that if the heating temperature is raised beyond the temperature calculated by the principle of the present solution, the battery temperature will be high in a short period of time, so the subsequent short period of time can increase the charging power, but because the battery temperature is greatly different from the ambient temperature, the heat dissipation power increases. Subsequently, since the power used for charging is increased, the power used for heating will be relatively small, and the battery temperature will gradually decrease to the limit of the charging power.

[0068] Understandably, this process is characterized by repeated fluctuations in battery temperature around the equilibrium temperature. Each fluctuation cycle can be viewed in three stages. In the first stage, the charging pile's power is primarily used for heating, thus the power available for charging must be relatively reduced. Compared to this solution, the higher heating temperature leads to greater heat dissipation power loss and a relatively slower charging speed. In this stage, the charging pile's power is more wasted on heat dissipation than this solution because of the large temperature difference between the battery pack and the environment. In the second stage, due to the initial heating, the battery pack temperature is relatively higher than in this solution, allowing for increased charging power. Therefore, the heating power must be relatively reduced, resulting in increased charging power, but the battery temperature continues to drop. In the third stage, the battery pack temperature drops, causing the charging power to fall below the remaining usable power of the charging pile, resulting in a significant waste of the pile's maximum output power. Therefore, in this process of repeated fluctuations in battery pack temperature, the power output from the charging pile to the vehicle is inefficiently utilized. Firstly, more heat is dissipated into the environment; secondly, the charging pile's power is underutilized. Therefore, given a fixed battery pack charge capacity, based on the principle of overall energy conservation, the energy transfer efficiency of the charging pile is lower than that of the solution mentioned in this case.

[0069] In this embodiment, the heating power required by the battery pack in a low-temperature environment is obtained through the battery pack's temperature rise data; combined with the maximum power that the charging pile can provide, the available charging power of the battery pack is obtained. Based on the available charging power and the maximum acceptable charging power of the battery pack, the heating requirements and tolerance of the battery pack are comprehensively considered to determine the power allocation point. This power allocation point can achieve the allocation of heating power and charging power that maximizes energy utilization, improving the charging rate and solving the allocation problem.

[0070] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, this application also proposes a correction scheme for the power allocation point to further improve efficiency. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating Embodiment 2 of the low-temperature slow charging control method of this application.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the step of confirming the power allocation point based on the available charging power, steps A10 to A40 are further included:

[0072] Step A10: Obtain the self-heating power of the battery pack based on the available charging power of the battery pack.

[0073] It should be noted that the self-heating power of a battery pack refers to the heat generated during discharge or charging due to factors such as internal resistance and chemical reactions. Therefore, temperature changes depend not only on the heating power allocated to the battery pack, but also on the self-heating power of the battery pack itself, thus requiring calculation.

[0074] It can be understood that, since the charging available power of the battery pack is limited, it is not necessary to calculate the self-heating power of the battery pack throughout the whole process, but only according to the charging available power of the battery pack.

[0075] In a feasible implementation, the present scheme provides a method for obtaining the charging available power of the battery pack, as follows: based on the charging available power of the battery pack, obtaining the charging current; obtaining the rated data of the battery pack; based on the charging current and the rated data, obtaining the self-heating power of the battery pack.

[0076] It should be noted that the maximum self-heating power of the battery pack is obtained by multiplying the square of the charging current at this power and the internal resistance of the battery pack.

[0077] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the maximum charging power line is composed of two segments, the left segment takes the part from the maximum permissible charging power low temperature zone to the intersection point with the charging available power line, and the right segment takes the remaining part of the charging available power line. The first segment represents the maximum charging power line that can be implemented at these temperature points due to the limitation of the physical and chemical properties of the battery pack itself. After passing through the maximum permissible charging power low temperature zone to the intersection point with the charging available power line, the remaining power available for charging limits the maximum charging power that can be implemented.

[0078] Therefore, this part of heat is generally less when charging at low temperature. For example, the internal resistance of a certain 500kM endurance battery pack is less than 0.4 ohms, and the heating power of the charging current is less than 7W when charging at-15℃.

[0079] Step A20, correcting the temperature rise data of the battery pack based on the self-heating power of the battery pack.

[0080] Step A30, confirming the corrected power distribution point based on the corrected temperature rise data of the battery pack.

[0081] Step A40, distributing the power for the battery pack to charge based on the corrected power distribution point.

[0082] It can be understood that, since the charging current generates a small amount of heat in the battery pack, the heating power can be appropriately reduced, that is, the available charging power can be appropriately increased, and in actual adjustment, fine tuning can be calibrated through experiments.

[0083] Specifically, based on the above assumptions, the charging available power line is corrected to be a charging available power correction line, referring to Figure 5 , the intersection point of the charging available power correction line and the maximum permissible charging power line is the corrected optimal heating power and charging power distribution point, which is slightly moved to the right and up compared to before correction.

[0084] In the embodiment, the self-heating factor of the battery pack is considered, the distribution of the heating power is reduced, the charging power is further improved, and the charging efficiency is further improved.

[0085] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the low-temperature slow charging control method of the present application. More forms of simple transformation based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0086] The present application also provides a low-temperature slow charging control device, please refer to Figure 6 The low-temperature slow charging control device comprises a data acquisition module 10, which is used to acquire temperature rise data of a battery pack; is further used to acquire available charging power of the battery pack based on the temperature rise data of the battery pack; and is further used to confirm a power distribution point based on the available charging power.
