The output end of the photovoltaic controller can be connected to the load through a circuit, and the output voltage is used for supplying power to the load. The power battery heating device can be used as the load connected to the output end of the photovoltaic controller, so that the power generated by the photovoltaic panel can be used for heating the power battery heating device, thereby reducing the power consumption of the power battery for battery heating output, reducing the burden of the power battery, indirectly improving the cruising range of the vehicle, and achieving the purpose of increasing the range. The power battery of the vehicle is used for driving the vehicle to run. The parts of the load of the photovoltaic controller can use low voltage or high voltage, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0066] The photovoltaic controller can also connect the photovoltaic power generation to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through a bidirectional DC converter to increase the voltage, so that it can be used to charge the power battery in the high-voltage network of the vehicle, so that the photovoltaic power generation can be fully utilized.

[0069] Based on the first embodiment, a second embodiment of the photovoltaic power supply system of the vehicle is provided.

[0070] The photovoltaic controller is configured to control the on-off of the heating function of the heat preservation box according to the temperature values measured by the temperature sensors in the temperature sensor group.

[0071] There are many ways to implement the heating function of the heat preservation box, which is not limited in the second embodiment. For example, the heating function of the heat preservation box can be implemented by PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient). The heat preservation box can be located above the vehicle chassis, the cargo box or the power battery, and the location is not limited. The water outlet end of the heat preservation box is connected to the water inlet end of the power battery, and the water inlet end of the heat preservation box is connected to the water outlet end of the power battery, so as to form a loop. The warm water in the heat preservation box can heat the power battery through the loop. The heat preservation box can be filled with water or coolant, which can be set as needed in the specific implementation. The temperature values measured by the temperature sensor group can be provided to the photovoltaic controller, so as to meet the temperature control and temperature setting requirements. In the second embodiment, the control strategy of the photovoltaic controller for controlling the on-off of the heating function of the heat preservation box based on the measured temperature values is not limited, and can be set according to the requirements of the actual application scenario in the specific implementation.

[0072] In an implementation, each temperature sensor in the temperature sensor group can use the original temperature sensor in the power battery cooling system of the vehicle, so as to reduce the implementation complexity of the photovoltaic power supply system of the vehicle.

[0073] In an implementation, the power battery heating device can be connected to the original power battery cooling system of the vehicle, so as to make full use of the original structure of the vehicle and reduce the implementation complexity of integrating the photovoltaic power supply system into the original system of the vehicle. Specifically, the power battery heating device further includes a switching assembly.

The switching assembly is used to control the connection of the cooling loop or the heating loop. The load further includes a battery loop water pump in the cooling loop.

[0074] The switching assembly can be implemented in many ways, which are not limited in the embodiment.

For example, the power battery cooling system can also include an expansion water tank. The inlet of the expansion water tank is connected to the outlet of the power battery, and the outlet of the expansion water tank is connected to the inlet of the battery circuit water pump, so as to realize the functions of degassing and water replenishment.

[0075] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 1 , a new energy vehicle system diagram is given. Some new energy vehicles do not have a range extender, and some new energy vehicles have a range extender. The range extender can be a fuel cell, a range extender, or any form of range extender. The electrical energy generated by the range extender is connected to the high-voltage network, which can charge the power battery or directly drive the vehicle. The power of the power battery can be used to drive the vehicle, and the power of the power battery can also be supplied to the storage battery and the low-voltage electrical appliances of the vehicle through the voltage reduction function of the bidirectional DCDC (bidirectional direct current converter). The photovoltaic panel receives sunlight and converts solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic power generation can heat the power battery through the photovoltaic controller, and can also supply power to the storage battery and the low-voltage electrical appliances of the vehicle. In addition, the photovoltaic power generation can also be connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through the voltage increasing function of the bidirectional DCDC.

[0076] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 2 , a physical connection structure diagram of a photovoltaic power supply system and a vehicle power system is given. The diagram is divided into two parts. The left part is connected by a water pipe (thick solid line in Figure 2 ), and the right part is connected by an electrical circuit (thick dashed line in Figure 2The power battery is connected with the high-voltage PDU (Power Distribution Unit, power distribution unit), the three-way valve, the temperature sensor group, the heat preservation box, the battery loop water pump, and the high-voltage PDU and the bidirectional DCDC through the circuit connection. The expansion water kettle is connected with the power battery to carry out degassing, and is connected with the upper three-way valve to supplement the water for the cooling loop. The first temperature sensor (T1) and the second temperature sensor (T2) are added to the inlet and outlet of the power battery, the second temperature sensor is connected with the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger is connected with the lower three-way valve, and the three-way valve is connected in series. The outlet of the lower three-way valve is connected with the battery loop water pump, and then the first temperature sensor is connected with the power battery. The a port of the three-way valve is connected with the heat preservation box, the third temperature sensor (T3) is arranged at the water outlet of the heat preservation box, the inlet of the heat preservation box is connected with the upper three-way valve, and the water outlet of the power battery is connected with the power battery. Different from the conventional power battery cooling water circuit, in the embodiment, the three-way valve and the upper three-way valve are connected in series in the water inlet of the power battery, a heating water circuit is connected in parallel on the water inlet of the power battery by controlling the opening and closing of the three-way valve.

Figure 3

[0078] Based on the photovoltaic power supply system of the vehicle in the first and / or second embodiments, a third embodiment of the control method of the present application is proposed. Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 4 Figure 4 is a flowchart of the third embodiment of the control method of the present application. It should be noted that although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in an order different from that shown here. In this embodiment, the control method can be applied to the photovoltaic controller in the photovoltaic power supply system of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the control method comprises:

[0079] Step S10, the load connected to the photovoltaic controller is powered by photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic panel.

[0080] ​​In the embodiment, to further fully utilize the power generation of the photovoltaic panel and improve the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation, a control strategy of photovoltaic power supply is provided, which can not only achieve the purpose of gradually and completely utilizing the photovoltaic power generation, but also heat the power battery and shorten the time of heating the power battery to the optimal temperature, thereby improving the starting performance of the vehicle.

[0081] The photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic panel is connected to the photovoltaic controller. In the case that the photovoltaic controller is connected to the load, the photovoltaic controller first supplies power to the load connected to the photovoltaic controller through photovoltaic power generation, for example, supplies power to the power battery heating device, so that in the case that the power battery needs to be heated, the power battery can be heated through photovoltaic power generation, the power battery reduces the output of the low-voltage network of the vehicle, reduces the burden of the power battery, indirectly improves the cruising range of the vehicle, and plays the role of increasing the range.

[0082] It should be noted that the load connected to the photovoltaic controller refers to the load connected to the output end of the photovoltaic controller through a line and in an open state. The on-off of each load can be controlled by the photovoltaic controller, and in the embodiment, the specific control strategy is not limited and can be pre-set as needed.

[0083] In step S20, in the case that the power generation of the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller and the storage battery meets the preset charging condition, the load connected to the photovoltaic controller is supplied with power through photovoltaic power generation, and the storage battery of the vehicle is charged through photovoltaic power generation.

[0084] The photovoltaic controller can obtain the power generation of the photovoltaic panel and the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller, and compare the two. If the power generation is greater than the load power, it means that there is still surplus after the photovoltaic power generation supplies power to the load connected to the photovoltaic controller. To fully utilize the power generation of the photovoltaic panel, in this case, if it is detected that the storage battery meets the preset charging condition, the load connected to the photovoltaic controller can be supplied with power through photovoltaic power generation, and the storage battery of the vehicle can be charged through photovoltaic power generation.

[0085] The preset charging condition can be pre-set as needed, which is not limited in the embodiment. For example, in an available implementation, the preset charging condition can be that the voltage of the storage battery is less than a certain voltage.

[0086] In step S30, in the case that the power generation of the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller and the storage battery does not meet the preset charging condition, the load connected to the photovoltaic controller is supplied with power through photovoltaic power generation, and the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through the bidirectional DC converter.

[0087] If the generated power is greater than the load power, but the battery does not meet the preset charging condition, to avoid waste of the excess generated power, the photovoltaic power generation can be used to supply power to the load connected to the photovoltaic controller, and the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through the bidirectional DC / DC converter for voltage boosting, so that the generated power of the photovoltaic panel is fully utilized, and the utilization rate of the photovoltaic power generation is improved.

[0088] The control strategy for the photovoltaic power generation system proposed in the embodiment can realize the step-by-step utilization of the photovoltaic generated power. Firstly, the generated power is used to heat the power battery, to ensure the vehicle function and reduce the heating power output from the power battery, and the energy loss of the power battery in the voltage conversion process is saved. Secondly, the remaining generated power of the photovoltaic panel is used to charge the battery, which can be used for the low-voltage electrical devices of the vehicle, to reduce the power input from the power battery to the low-voltage system through voltage reduction, and the energy loss of the power battery in the voltage conversion process is saved. Finally, the remaining generated power of the photovoltaic panel is used to charge the power battery through the voltage boosting function of the bidirectional DC / DC converter. The generated power of the photovoltaic panel is fully utilized, the utilization rate of the photovoltaic power generation is improved, the recovery period of the vehicle due to the increase of the cost of the related parts such as the photovoltaic panel is shortened, the user can obtain the benefits as soon as possible, and the vehicle cost is reduced.

[0089] In an implementable embodiment, the control method further comprises:

[0090] Step S40, in the case that the vehicle is in a non-running state, after receiving the power battery preheating instruction, the power battery heating device is controlled to heat the power battery.

[0091] In the case that the vehicle is in a non-running state, there is often a demand for preheating the power battery, in which case the photovoltaic controller can control the power battery heating device to heat the power battery after receiving the power battery preheating instruction. The power battery preheating instruction can be sent remotely by the user or set by the user according to habits, which is not limited herein.

[0092] In an implementable embodiment, the step of controlling the power battery heating device to heat the power battery in step S40 comprises:

[0093] Step S401, the switching component is controlled to be connected to the heating circuit.

[0094] Step S402, if the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, the battery circuit water pump in the cooling circuit is controlled to be turned off.

[0095] Step S403, if the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is less than the first preset threshold value, the battery circuit water pump is controlled to be started.

[0096] After receiving the power battery preheating instruction when the vehicle is in the non-running state, the photovoltaic controller can control the switching assembly to turn on the heating loop and monitor the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor. If the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, it indicates that the temperature of the power battery is high, and heating is not needed to continue. At this time, the battery loop water pump can be controlled to be turned off. The first preset threshold value can be pre-set as needed and is not limited in the embodiment, for example, it can be set to 20℃. If the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is less than the first preset threshold value, it indicates that the temperature of the power battery is low, and heating is needed. At this time, the battery loop water pump can be controlled to be started to drive the warm water in the heat preservation box to the power battery water circuit to heat the power battery.

[0097] The control method further includes:

[0098] Step S50, when the vehicle is in the running state, the switching assembly is controlled to be connected to the cooling loop.

[0099] When the vehicle is in the running state, the photovoltaic controller can control the switching assembly to be connected to the cooling loop, so that the control strategy of cooling the power battery is executed through the original power battery cooling system of the vehicle.

[0100] In an available embodiment, after receiving the battery preheating instruction, the power battery heating device can be controlled to heat the power battery according to the flow as shown in Figure 5 If the photovoltaic controller receives the power battery preheating instruction, the photovoltaic controller drives the three-way valve and the battery loop water pump to operate, the three-way valve closes the c-b loop and opens the a-b loop, and the battery loop water pump drives the coolant to heat the warm water in the heat preservation box to the power battery, so as to increase the water temperature of the power battery loop and shorten the heating time of the power battery. Until the temperature value of the second temperature sensor is greater than or equal to 20℃ (which can be calibrated according to actual conditions), the driving of the three-way valve and the battery loop water pump is stopped.

[0101] In an available embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0102] Step S60, monitoring the temperature data measured by the temperature sensor in the temperature sensor group, and controlling the opening and closing of the heat preservation box heating function according to the temperature data, so as to control the water temperature of the heat preservation box in a set range.

[0103] The photovoltaic controller can monitor the temperature data measured by one or more temperature sensors in the temperature sensor group, and then control the opening and closing of the incubator heating function according to the temperature data. The control strategy for controlling the opening and closing of the incubator in this embodiment is not limited, and can be set as needed in advance, as long as the water temperature of the incubator can be controlled within a certain range, so that the water in the incubator can be heated for a long time when the power battery needs to be heated, that is, the efficiency of preheating the power battery can be improved. For example, in a possible implementation, the temperature value measured by the third temperature sensor can be monitored. If the temperature value measured by the third temperature sensor is greater than a certain threshold, the incubator heating function is controlled to be closed. If it is less than or equal to the threshold, the incubator heating function is controlled to be turned on, so that the water temperature of the incubator is always maintained within a certain temperature range.

[0104] In a possible implementation, the step S60 comprises:

[0105] Step S601, when the vehicle is in an unrunning state, monitoring the temperature values measured by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the third temperature sensor respectively.

[0106] In this embodiment, a control strategy of a photovoltaic controller for an incubator heating function when a vehicle is in an unrunning state is proposed. The photovoltaic controller can monitor the temperature values measured by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the third temperature sensor respectively. Hereinafter, the temperature value measured by the first temperature sensor is referred to as the first temperature value, the temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is referred to as the second temperature value, and the temperature value measured by the third temperature sensor is referred to as the third temperature value for distinction.

[0107] Step S602, if the first temperature value measured by the first temperature sensor is less than a second preset threshold and the third temperature value measured by the third temperature sensor is less than a third preset threshold, the heating function of the incubator is controlled to be turned on.

[0108] The photovoltaic controller compares the first temperature value with the second preset threshold, and compares the third temperature value with the third preset threshold. The second preset threshold and the third preset threshold can be set as needed. The second preset threshold can be set to be less than the third preset threshold, for example, the second preset threshold is set to 20℃, and the third preset threshold can be set to 30℃. If the first temperature value is less than the second preset threshold and the third temperature value is less than the third preset threshold, it indicates that the water temperature in the incubator is low, and the temperature of the power battery is also low. In this case, the heating function of the incubator can be turned on, so that when there is a preheating demand for the power battery, the power battery can be heated in time by the warm water in the incubator.

[0109] Step S603, if the first temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value, or the third temperature value is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold value, it is judged whether the second temperature value measured by the second temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value.

[0110] If the first temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value, it indicates that the temperature of the water outlet end of the power battery has not reached the degree that needs to be heated; if the third temperature value is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold value, it indicates that the water temperature in the incubator is high enough to heat the power battery, and there is no need to continue heating and waste power; in either of the two cases, it can be further judged whether the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value.

[0111] Step S604, if the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value, the heating function of the incubator is controlled to be turned off.

[0112] If the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value, it indicates that the temperature of the water outlet end of the power battery has not reached the degree that needs to be heated; in this case, the photovoltaic controller can control the heating function of the incubator to be turned off, so as to avoid wasting photovoltaic power generation due to continuous heating of the incubator, and also avoid over-heating of the power battery due to continuous temperature rise of the incubator, which may cause damage to the power battery.

[0113] Step S605, if the second temperature value is less than the second preset threshold value, the heating function of the incubator is controlled to be turned on.

[0114] If the second temperature value is less than the second preset threshold value, it indicates that the temperature of the water outlet end of the power battery is low; in this case, the photovoltaic controller can control the heating function of the incubator to be turned on, so as to heat the power battery through the heating circuit.

[0115] In a feasible implementation, when the vehicle is in a non-running state, the incubator can be controlled according to the flow as shown in Figure 6 The temperature signals of the temperature sensor group are transmitted to the photovoltaic controller. When the photovoltaic controller reads the temperature value of the first temperature sensor < 20℃ (which can be calibrated according to actual conditions) and the temperature value of the third temperature sensor < 30℃ (which can be calibrated according to actual conditions), the switch of the incubator is turned on to heat the coolant in the incubator.

[0116] In a feasible implementation, when the vehicle is in a running state, the photovoltaic controller can monitor the temperature value of the third temperature sensor of the vehicle, and in the case that the temperature value of the third temperature sensor is less than the third preset threshold value, the heating function of the incubator is controlled to be turned on, otherwise, the control function of the incubator is controlled to be turned off.

[0117] In a feasible implementation, the control method further comprises:

[0118] Step S70, in the case that the vehicle is in the non-running state, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, the third temperature sensor, the switching assembly, the battery loop water pump and the heat preservation box are connected to the photovoltaic controller to be powered by the photovoltaic power generation.

[0119] Step S80, in the case that the vehicle is in the running state, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, the switching assembly and the battery loop water pump are switched to be powered and controlled by the vehicle low-voltage network.

[0120] In the case that the vehicle is in the non-running state, the temperature sensor group, the switching assembly, the battery loop water pump and the heat preservation box can all be connected to the photovoltaic controller to be powered and controlled by the photovoltaic controller, so as to ensure that the power battery can be heated by the photovoltaic power generation when the vehicle is not running. In the case that the vehicle is in the running state, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, the switching assembly and the battery loop water pump can be switched to be powered and controlled by the vehicle low-voltage network. Since the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the battery loop water pump are originally powered and controlled by the vehicle low-voltage network, in order to realize heating of the power battery by the photovoltaic power generation when the vehicle is in the non-running state, the temperature sensor group, the switching assembly, the battery loop water pump and the heat preservation box are powered and controlled by the photovoltaic controller; and after the vehicle is started, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the battery loop water pump are switched back to be powered and controlled by the vehicle low-voltage network, and the control logic can adopt the control logic in the original system of the vehicle, so as to ensure normal operation of the original functions of the vehicle.

[0121] In an implementable embodiment, in the case that the vehicle is in the running state, the opening and closing of the heat preservation box can be controlled according to the flowchart as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 7 The photovoltaic controller closes the three-way valve, the battery loop water pump, the switch of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor according to the vehicle running signal, and is powered and controlled by the vehicle low-voltage network; the three-way valve closes the a-b loop and opens the c-b loop. The photovoltaic controller drives the third temperature sensor and the heat preservation box, and the temperature signal of the third temperature sensor is transmitted to the photovoltaic controller. When the photovoltaic controller reads the temperature value of the third temperature sensor < 30℃ (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the switch of the load heat preservation box is opened to heat the cooling liquid in the heat preservation box.

[0122] Based on the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment of the control method of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, the control method further comprises:

[0123] Step A10, if the photovoltaic power generation is not boosted by the bidirectional DC converter and connected to the vehicle high-voltage network, and the voltage of the battery is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage, it is determined that the battery does not meet the preset charging condition.

[0124] In this embodiment, a feasible implementation of determining whether the battery meets the preset charging condition is provided.

[0125] It should be noted that in the two cases of connecting the photovoltaic power generation to the vehicle high-voltage network through the bidirectional DC converter and connecting the photovoltaic power generation to the vehicle high-voltage network without the bidirectional DC converter, different judgment conditions can be set for the battery. In the case of connecting the photovoltaic power generation to the vehicle high-voltage network through the bidirectional DC converter, the photovoltaic controller can determine whether the voltage of the battery is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage. The first preset voltage can be set in advance according to the needs, which is not limited in this embodiment, for example, it can be set to 25V. If the voltage of the battery is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage, it means that the battery has sufficient power and does not need to be charged, that is, it can be determined that the battery does not meet the preset charging condition, so that the remaining power after supplying power to the load can be boosted and connected to the vehicle high-voltage network, and the photovoltaic power generation is fully utilized.

[0126] Step A20, if the photovoltaic power generation is not boosted by the bidirectional DC converter and connected to the vehicle high-voltage network, and the voltage of the battery is less than the first preset voltage, it is determined that the battery meets the preset charging condition.

[0127] If the voltage of the battery is less than the first preset voltage, it means that the battery does not have enough power, at this time, it can be determined that the battery meets the preset charging condition, so that the battery is charged by the photovoltaic power generation, and the photovoltaic power generation is fully utilized.

[0128] Step A30, if the photovoltaic power generation is boosted by the bidirectional DC converter and connected to the vehicle high-voltage network, and the voltage of the battery is less than the second preset voltage, it is determined that the battery meets the preset charging condition, wherein the second preset voltage is less than the first preset voltage.

[0129] In the case that the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted by the bidirectional DC converter, the photovoltaic controller can determine whether the voltage of the storage battery is less than a second preset voltage. The second preset voltage can be set in advance according to requirements, and the second preset voltage is set to be less than the first preset voltage, for example, can be set to 23V. If the voltage of the storage battery is less than the second preset voltage, it indicates that the low-voltage electrical appliances in the vehicle consume the power in the storage battery in the process of being connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted by the photovoltaic power generation, so that the power in the storage battery is reduced to a level that needs to be charged. At this time, it can be determined that the storage battery meets the preset charging condition, so that the photovoltaic power generation is switched to preferentially supply power to the storage battery. Since there is a loss in the process of boosting the photovoltaic power generation, by preferentially charging the storage battery when the storage battery meets the charging condition, the photovoltaic power generation can be fully utilized, and the storage battery is also prevented from being depleted, thereby prolonging the service life of the storage battery.

[0130] In step A40, if the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted by the bidirectional DC converter, and the voltage of the storage battery is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage, it is determined that the storage battery does not meet the preset charging condition.

[0131] If the voltage of the storage battery is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage, it indicates that the power in the storage battery has not been reduced to a level that needs to be charged. At this time, it can be determined that the storage battery does not meet the preset charging condition, so as to continue to be connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted. The second preset voltage is less than the first preset voltage, which can avoid frequent switching between the two output paths of supplying power to the storage battery and being connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted, thereby ensuring the stability of the system.

[0132] In an embodiment, the control method further comprises:

[0133] In step A50, if the photovoltaic power generation is not connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle after being boosted by the bidirectional DC converter, and the voltage of the storage battery is less than a third preset voltage, the bidirectional DC converter is controlled to step down the high-voltage power in the high-voltage network of the vehicle to charge the storage battery, and the third preset voltage is less than the second preset voltage.

[0134] In the case that the vehicle is in the running state, if the photovoltaic power generation is not connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through the bidirectional DC converter, it can be determined whether the voltage of the storage battery is less than a third preset voltage. The third preset voltage can be set according to the needs, and the third preset voltage is less than the second preset voltage, for example, it can be set to 21V. When the voltage of the storage battery is less than the third preset voltage, it indicates that the power generation of the photovoltaic panel is low, which is insufficient to charge the storage battery. At this time, the photovoltaic controller can control the bidirectional DC converter to step down the high-voltage power of the high-voltage network of the vehicle to charge the storage battery, thereby avoiding the low power of the storage battery. It can be understood that if the voltage of the storage battery is greater than or equal to the third preset voltage, it is determined whether the voltage of the storage battery is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage.

[0135] In an implementable embodiment, the step S30 comprises:

[0136] Step S30, in the case that the power generation of the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller and the storage battery does not meet the preset charging condition, the allowable charging power of the power battery is obtained.

[0137] In the embodiment, to avoid overcharging the power battery, the photovoltaic controller can obtain the allowable charging power of the power battery in the case that the power generation of the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller and the storage battery does not meet the preset charging condition. The allowable charging power can be obtained from the power battery.

[0138] Step S40, if the allowable charging power of the power battery is greater than a preset power, the load connected to the photovoltaic controller is powered by photovoltaic power generation, and the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the vehicle through the bidirectional DC converter to power the power battery.

[0139] The preset power can be set according to the needs, which is not limited in the embodiment, for example, it can be set to 8KW.

[0140] In an implementable embodiment, in the case that the allowable charging power of the power battery is less than or equal to the preset power, the photovoltaic controller no longer powers the power battery through the bidirectional DC converter to avoid overcharging the power battery and causing damage to the battery.

[0141] In a feasible implementation, in the case that the power generated by the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller, and the battery does not meet the preset charging condition, if the photovoltaic controller connects the photovoltaic power generation to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle without boosting, it is determined whether the allowable charging power of the power battery is greater than a first preset power; if yes, the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle after boosting, otherwise, the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle without boosting; in the case that the power generated by the photovoltaic panel is greater than the load power connected to the photovoltaic controller, and the battery does not meet the preset charging condition, if the photovoltaic controller has connected the photovoltaic power generation to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle after boosting, it is determined whether the allowable charging power of the power battery is less than a second preset power; if yes, the photovoltaic power generation is no longer connected to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle after boosting, if no, the photovoltaic power generation is connected to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle after boosting. The first preset power and the second preset power can be set as needed, and the second preset power can be set to be less than the first preset power, for example, the first preset power is set to 8KW, and the second preset power is set to 6KW.

[0142] In a feasible implementation, the photovoltaic power generation can be connected to the high-voltage network of the whole vehicle after boosting according to the following conditions: Figure 8The photovoltaic power supply control logic shown controls. In the state that the vehicle is not running, when the power generated by the photovoltaic is greater than the power of the temperature sensor group, the heat preservation box, the battery loop water pump, the three-way valve and other loads, the excess power is stored through the energy storage circuit. When the battery voltage is less than 25V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the photovoltaic charges the battery. When the battery voltage is greater than or equal to 25V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation) and the power that the power battery can allow to charge is greater than or equal to 8kW (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), it is considered that the power of the photovoltaic is sufficient and the power battery allows to charge, the bidirectional DCDC works in the low-to-high voltage mode to charge the power battery, until the power that the power battery can allow to charge is less than 6kW (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation) or the battery voltage is less than 23V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the bidirectional DCDC stops working, and the photovoltaic system charges the battery. In the case that the vehicle is running, when the power generated by the photovoltaic is greater than the power of the third temperature sensor and the heat preservation box, the excess power is stored through the energy storage circuit. When the battery voltage is less than 21V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the power of the photovoltaic system is insufficient, the bidirectional DCDC starts to work in the high-to-low voltage mode to supply power to the whole vehicle low-voltage network together with the excess power of the photovoltaic system and charge the battery, until the battery voltage is greater than or equal to 25V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the bidirectional DCDC stops the high-to-low voltage working mode. When the battery voltage is greater than or equal to 25V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation) and the power that the power battery can allow to charge is greater than or equal to 8kW (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), it is considered that the power of the photovoltaic system is sufficient and the power battery allows to charge, the bidirectional DCDC works in the low-to-high voltage mode to charge the power battery, until the power that the power battery can allow to charge is less than 6kW (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation) or the battery voltage is less than 23V (which can be calibrated according to the actual situation), the bidirectional DCDC stops working, and the photovoltaic system charges the battery.
