If the main control chip 3 determines that the vehicle insulation value drop rate is not greater than the insulation value drop rate threshold, the main control chip 3 does not perform the first warning action. If the main control chip 3 determines that the vehicle insulation value drop rate is greater than the insulation value drop rate threshold, the main control chip 3 performs the first warning action, thereby realizing the function of monitoring whether the vehicle insulation value is abnormal and making a warning to remind the user in time. That is, it can realize monitoring and warning of the power battery pack to prevent safety accidents.

The main control chip 3 queries the corresponding power battery pack capacity value through the battery cell OCV table according to the lowest voltage of the battery cell. The main control chip 3 divides the queried power battery pack capacity value by the rated capacity value of the power battery pack to obtain the first health degree of the power battery pack; the battery management system (BMS) 1 collects the current data collected by the current sensor 2 in the high-voltage circuit, and calculates the cumulative charge and discharge capacity value of the battery cell by integrating the current over time, and inputs the calculated cumulative charge and discharge capacity value information of the battery cell into the main control chip 3. The main control chip 3 calculates the cumulative charge and discharge capacity of the battery cell by the cumulative charge and discharge capacity of the battery cell. The value is divided by the cumulative rated charge and discharge capacity of the power battery pack to obtain the second health of the power battery pack, wherein the cumulative rated charge and discharge capacity of the power battery pack is equal to the rated capacity of the power battery pack multiplied by the number of charge and discharge cycles, and each charge and discharge completed by the power battery pack is recorded as a number of charge and discharge cycles; the main control chip 3 calculates the health of the power battery pack through the first health of the power battery pack and the second health of the power battery pack, and the main control chip 3 determines whether the health of the power battery pack is less than the health threshold. If the main control chip 3 determines that the health of the power battery pack is less than the health threshold, the main control chip 3 performs the second warning action, thereby being able to monitor the health of the power battery pack and issue a warning to timely remind the user based on whether it is less than the health threshold. If the main control chip 3 determines that the health of the power battery pack is not less than the health threshold, the main control chip 3 does not perform the second warning action. That is, it is possible to monitor and warn the power battery pack to prevent safety accidents.

[0050] The voltage and temperature of the battery cell are collected by the voltage and temperature acquisition module in the battery management system (BMS) 1, and the collected voltage and temperature data of the battery cell are input into the main control chip 3. After receiving the voltage and temperature of the battery cell input by the voltage and temperature acquisition module, the main control chip 3 will determine whether the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and whether the temperature of the battery cell is greater than the first temperature threshold. If the main control chip 3 determines that the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and the temperature of the battery cell is greater than the first temperature threshold, the main control chip 3 will perform a third early warning action, thereby being able to monitor whether the battery cell is thermally runaway and issue an early warning to remind the user in time. Otherwise, the main control chip 3 will further determine whether the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and will further determine whether the temperature of the battery cell input by the battery management system (BMS) 1 is greater than the first temperature threshold. Whether the temperature rise rate is greater than the temperature rise rate threshold. If the main control chip 3 determines that the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and that the temperature rise rate of the battery cell is greater than the temperature rise rate threshold, the main control chip 3 performs the third early warning action, thereby being able to monitor whether the battery cell is thermally out of control and make an early warning to promptly remind the user. Otherwise, the main control chip 3 will further determine whether the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and will further determine whether the temperature difference of the battery cell input by the battery management system (BMS) 1 is greater than the temperature difference threshold. If the main control chip 3 determines that the voltage of the battery cell is less than the first voltage threshold and that the temperature difference of the battery cell is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the main control chip 3 performs the third early warning action, thereby being able to monitor whether the battery cell is thermally out of control and make an early warning to promptly remind the user. Otherwise, the main control chip 3 will not perform the third early warning action to prevent safety accidents.
