[0002] At present, the architecture commonly used for high-voltage pre-charging of new energy vehicles is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the power battery includes a pre-charging branch consisting of a pre-charging resistor R1 and a pre-charging relay K3. The corresponding pre-charging control method is: close the main negative relay K1 and the pre-charging relay K3, and the power battery pre-charges the first capacitor C1 of the vehicle MCU (Motor Control Unit) through the pre-charging branch. The BMS (Battery Management System) in the power battery determines whether the pre-charging of the first capacitor C1 voltage is completed by detecting the rear end voltage of the pre-charging relay. After charging is completed, the pre-charging relay K3 is disconnected, the main negative relay K1 and the main positive relay K2 are closed, and the power battery realizes power supply during vehicle driving.

[0003] However, when pre-charging is performed through the pre-charging branch of the power battery, the current value is fixed, and the pre-charging resistor R1 generates severe heat during pre-charging, and there is a risk of the pre-charging resistor R1 failing due to heat, thereby affecting the high-voltage safety of the entire vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0007] The vehicle controller VCU controls the low-voltage battery to boost the voltage to the pre-charge target voltage through the all-in-one controller, and pre-charges the first capacitor C1 of the motor controller MCU in the all-in-one controller through the low-voltage battery;

[0008] When the voltage of the first capacitor C1 reaches a preset percentage of the pre-charge target voltage within the pre-charge time, the pre-charge is successful.

When the first capacitor C1 reaches a preset percentage of the pre-charge target voltage within the pre-charge time, the all-in-one controller feeds back to the vehicle controller VCU that the pre-charge is successful; otherwise, the all-in-one controller feeds back to the vehicle controller VCU that the pre-charge is unsuccessful.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, after pre-charging is successful, the vehicle controller VCU sends a high-voltage instruction to the battery management system BMS of the power battery.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] First, some technical terms in the present application are explained to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present application.

[0032] VCU: Vehicle Controller is the core controller of new energy vehicles, responsible for monitoring and managing various key functions of the vehicle. VCU communicates with various subsystems of the vehicle through the vehicle bus or hard wire to control and manage the battery system, electric drive system, thermal management system, etc.

[0033] MCU: In electric vehicles, the function of the motor controller is to convert the electrical energy stored in the power battery into the electrical energy required to drive the motor according to instructions such as gear position, throttle, and brake, to control the starting, running, forward and backward speed, climbing intensity and other driving conditions of the electric vehicle, or to help the electric vehicle brake and store part of the braking energy in the power battery. It is one of the key components of electric vehicles.

[0034] DCDC: It is a circuit or electromechanical device for power conversion, which can convert direct current (DC) power into direct current (or near direct current) power of different voltages, ranging from very small (small battery) to very large (high voltage power conversion).

[0035] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a new energy vehicle high voltage pre-charging control method, which can be used in Figure 4 In the illustrated architecture, the control method comprises the steps of:

[0037] An all-in-one controller is used to connect the low-voltage battery. The all-in-one controller includes a motor controller MCU and a DC-DC converter DCDC.

[0038] The vehicle controller VCU controls the low-voltage battery to boost the voltage to the pre-charge target voltage through the all-in-one controller, and pre-charges the first capacitor C1 of the MCU in the all-in-one controller through the low-voltage battery.

[0039] When the voltage of the first capacitor C1 reaches a preset percentage of the pre-charge target voltage within the pre-charge time, the pre-charge is successful.

[0040] Specifically, the all-in-one controller may be an integration of two controllers or more than two controllers; when it is a two-in-one controller, it only has an MCU and a DCDC.

[0041] In this embodiment, by adopting an all-in-one controller, when the vehicle needs high-voltage pre-charging, the low-voltage battery is boosted to the pre-charging target voltage through the DCDC in the all-in-one controller, and the first capacitor C1 of the MCU in the all-in-one controller is pre-charged at the same time, and the pre-charging target voltage here can be set to the power battery voltage. Compared with the prior art of pre-charging the first capacitor C1 with a power battery, pre-charging the first capacitor C1 with a low-voltage battery avoids the use of a pre-charging branch, avoids the resistance aging caused by the heat of the pre-charging resistor in the pre-charging branch, and further improves the high-voltage safety.

[0042] In addition, the pre-charging group, pre-charging relay and related high-voltage connecting lines can be eliminated inside the power battery, and the BMS of the power battery can cancel the related strategies of pre-charging control, which can reduce the cost of the power battery. After actual calculation, the cost can be reduced by about 300 yuan.

[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before the VCU controls the low-voltage battery to be boosted to the pre-charge target voltage through the all-in-one controller, it also includes:

[0044] After the VCU detects the user's action of starting the vehicle, it determines whether the vehicle meets the starting conditions. If yes, the VCU sends a pre-charge instruction to the all-in-one controller; if not, the VCU terminates the vehicle start process and the vehicle does not start. The pre-charge instruction includes a pre-charge enable signal, a pre-charge target voltage, and a pre-charge target current. The pre-charge target voltage and pre-charge target current can be set according to actual conditions.

[0045] Further, in one embodiment, the VCU controls the low-voltage battery to be boosted to the pre-charge target voltage through the all-in-one controller, specifically including:

[0046] After receiving the enable signal, the all-in-one controller determines whether the low-voltage battery voltage meets the normal working voltage of the all-in-one controller. If so, the low-voltage battery is controlled to be boosted to the pre-charge target voltage according to the pre-charge target current; if not, the pre-charge fault is fed back to the VCU.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the pre-charging target voltage and the first capacitor C1 are constant, the larger the pre-charging target current is, the shorter the pre-charging time is. Therefore, the pre-charging time requirement of the whole vehicle and the performance of the all-in-one controller are used to adaptively adjust the target current to achieve controllable pre-charging process and improve pre-charging performance and pre-charging safety.

[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a more specific embodiment of the high voltage pre-charging control method for new energy vehicles of this application. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0049] S101: The VCU detects the user's action of starting the vehicle.

[0050] S102: Determine whether the vehicle meets the starting conditions. If yes, proceed to S103; if not, proceed to S104.

[0051] S103: The VCU sends a pre-charge instruction to the all-in-one controller. The pre-charge instruction includes a pre-charge enable signal, a pre-charge target voltage, and a pre-charge target current. At the same time, the BMS of the power battery continuously sends the total voltage of the power battery to the VCU, and enters S105.

[0052] S104: The vehicle does not start and this process ends.

[0053] S105: The all-in-one controller determines whether an enable signal is received, and if so, proceeds to S106; if not, returns to S105.

[0054] S106: The all-in-one controller determines whether the low-voltage battery voltage meets the normal working voltage of the all-in-one controller, if yes, proceed to S107; if no, proceed to S108. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the low-voltage battery voltage is greater than 10V.

[0055] S107: Entering the pre-charging working mode, boosting the low-voltage battery voltage to the pre-charging target voltage according to the pre-charging target current, and entering S109.

[0056] S108: The all-in-one controller feeds back a pre-charging fault to the VCU, and this process ends.

[0057] S109: the all-in-one controller detects the voltage of the first capacitor C1 and compares it with the pre-charge target voltage to determine whether the first capacitor C1 reaches a preset percentage of the pre-charge target voltage, if yes, proceed to S110; if no, proceed to S111. In this embodiment, the preset percentage is 95%.

[0058] S110: The all-in-one controller stops boosting the low-voltage battery and sends a feedback to the VCU indicating that the pre-charging is successful. This process ends.

[0059] S111: The all-in-one controller determines whether the pre-charging time has been exceeded, if yes, it proceeds to S112; if no, it proceeds to S109. The pre-charging time can be set according to different vehicle models. In this embodiment, the pre-charging time is 500ms.

[0060] S112: Pre-charging fails, and the all-in-one controller feeds back the pre-charging failure status to the VCU.

[0061] High-voltage pre-charging control method for new energy vehicles.

[0062] Furthermore, in one embodiment, after the VCU sends a pre-charging instruction to the all-in-one controller, the VCU continues to receive feedback signals from the all-in-one controller. After the pre-charging is successful, the VCU sends a high-voltage instruction to the BMS of the power battery. If the high-voltage completion signal from the BMS is received within a preset time, the VCU sends a work enable signal to the all-in-one controller, and the all-in-one controller converts the high voltage of the power battery into a low voltage, charges the low-voltage battery, and starts the vehicle.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of a VCU performing subsequent processing according to a feedback signal is provided. In this embodiment, the high-voltage pre-charging control method for a new energy vehicle further includes the following steps:

[0064] S201: After the VCU sends a pre-charging instruction to the all-in-one controller, the VCU continues to receive feedback signals from the all-in-one controller.

[0065] S202: The VCU determines whether the pre-charging is successful based on the feedback signal. If yes, it proceeds to S203; if not, it proceeds to S204.

[0066] S203: The VCU sends a high voltage command to the BMS of the power battery and enters S205.

[0067] S204: Pre-charging fails, the high voltage process ends, the vehicle stops starting, and this process ends.

[0068] S205: After receiving the high voltage command, the BMS controls the positive relay K2 and the negative relay K1 of the power battery to close, and feeds back the relay closing state signal to the VCU.

[0069] S206: The VCU determines whether it has received a status signal indicating that both relays are closed. If so, the VCU determines that the vehicle high voltage power-up is complete and proceeds to S207; if not, proceeds to S208.

[0070] S207: The VCU sends a work enable signal (specifically, a work enable signal of the DCDC) to the all-in-one controller, and enters S210.

[0071] S208: Determine whether the preset time has been exceeded, if yes, proceed to S209; if no, proceed to S206. In this embodiment, the preset time is 200ms.

[0072] S209: The vehicle fails to be high voltage, the process ends, and the vehicle stops starting.

[0073] S210: The all-in-one controller receives a work enable signal from the VCU, controls the DCDC to work in a normal working mode, converts the high voltage of the power battery into a low voltage, and charges the low voltage battery.

[0074] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a control system based on any one of the new energy vehicle high voltage pre-charging control method embodiments. Figure 4 As shown, the control system includes an all-in-one controller and a low-voltage battery. The all-in-one controller includes an MCU and a DCDC. The all-in-one controller is connected to the VCU, and the two communicate through the CAN bus. The all-in-one controller is used to control the voltage boost of the low-voltage battery. The low-voltage battery is connected to the all-in-one controller, which is used to boost the voltage to the pre-charge target voltage and pre-charge the first capacitor C1 of the MCU in the all-in-one controller; when the voltage of the first capacitor C1 reaches a preset percentage of the pre-charge target voltage within the pre-charge time, the pre-charge is successful.

[0075] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the control system of the high-voltage pre-charging control method for new energy vehicles also includes a power battery, which includes a positive relay K2 and a negative relay K1, and the power battery is connected to the all-in-one controller and the VCU respectively. The power battery is used to receive the high-voltage instruction of the VCU after the first capacitor C1 is pre-charged successfully, close the positive relay K2 and the negative relay K1 to increase the high voltage, and feedback the relay closing state signal; it is also used to convert the high voltage into the low voltage under the control of the all-in-one controller, charge the above-mentioned low-voltage battery, and realize vehicle starting.

[0076] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the all-in-one controller is also used to determine whether the low-voltage battery voltage meets the normal working voltage of the all-in-one controller after receiving the enable signal sent by the VCU. If so, control the low-voltage battery to boost to the pre-charge target voltage.

[0077] In this embodiment, the power battery includes a positive relay K2 and a negative relay K1, and there is no need to set a pre-charging branch. Compared with the traditional power battery pack, the pre-charging group, pre-charging relay and related high-voltage connecting lines and other related components are reduced, which can reduce the cost of the power battery; even if an all-in-one controller is used, the overall cost of the control system will still be reduced.

[0078] Through the DCDC reverse boost of the all-in-one controller, a low-voltage battery is used to pre-charge the first capacitor C1. When the pre-charging target voltage and the first capacitor C1 are constant, the larger the pre-charging target current is, the shorter the pre-charging time is. Therefore, the VCU can be used to adaptively adjust the target current using the vehicle pre-charging time requirements and the performance of the all-in-one controller, thereby controlling the vehicle pre-charging time requirements, making the pre-charging process controllable, and improving the pre-charging performance and pre-charging safety.

[0079] After the pre-charging of the first capacitor C1 is completed, the positive relay K2 and the negative relay K1 of the power battery are closed. After the high voltage is applied, the DCDC of the all-in-one controller works in the forward step-down mode according to the instruction to charge the low-voltage battery.

[0080] In the third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control program stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein when the new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control program is executed by the processor, the steps of any new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control method embodiment are implemented.

[0082] The communication interface includes input / output (I / O) interface, physical interface and logical interface, etc., which are used to realize the interconnection of devices inside the new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control device, and the interface used to realize the interconnection between the new energy vehicle high-voltage pre-charging control device and other devices (such as other computing devices or user devices). The physical interface can be an Ethernet interface, a fiber optic interface, an ATM interface, etc.; the user device can be a display, etc.
