Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a management method, device, equipment, storage medium and system for a forklift power battery pack, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle battery management. Background Art
[0002] Forklift power battery packs are widely used in fields such as logistics transportation and warehousing management. Their core function is to provide stable power support for forklifts under complex working conditions such as heavy loads and high-frequency starting and stopping. In the prior art, the management of forklift power battery packs usually relies on traditional load prediction and static thermal management modes, aiming to extend battery life and improve energy utilization efficiency. However, these technologies still face many problems in practical applications.
[0003] To improve load adaptability, traditional methods use load prediction models based on fixed working conditions to guide the discharge strategy of the battery pack. However, these models lack real-time and dynamic adjustment capabilities and cannot respond to load changes in a timely manner under rapidly changing working conditions (such as high-frequency starting and stopping or heavy-load operations), resulting in problems such as battery overload or uneven discharge. To solve this problem, the industry usually increases redundant battery capacity or designs complex control algorithms, but this inevitably increases hardware costs and system complexity.
[0004] In terms of thermal management, the prior art mostly uses passive heat dissipation or simple air-cooling and liquid-cooling methods to adjust the cooling power according to static heat dissipation modes. However, this method is difficult to meet the dynamic thermal management requirements of complex working conditions and is prone to problems such as heat dissipation lag or excessive energy consumption. To overcome this defect, the industry attempts to optimize heat dissipation through preset cooling strategies based on historical working conditions. However, this preset method is insufficient in responding to sudden high loads and ambient temperature changes and may still lead to situations such as battery overheating or insufficient cooling. For example: 1. Traditional load prediction models lack real-time dynamic adjustment capabilities and cannot meet the load change requirements under complex working conditions. 2. Existing thermal management technologies have a lag in response, high energy consumption, and are difficult to achieve precise heat dissipation under dynamic working conditions. 3. The cooperation between modules is insufficient, and data isolation results in limited system optimization effects. Therefore, how to achieve the collaborative optimization of dynamic load prediction and multi-mode thermal management systems and significantly improve the comprehensive performance of forklift power battery packs has become the technical problem to be solved by the present invention.

[0042] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides a management method for a forklift power battery pack based on dynamic load prediction and multi-scenario optimization. Taking a large-scale logistics and warehousing environment as the application scenario, the specific implementation manner of the technical solution is demonstrated. For example, in a certain logistics park, forklifts need to perform frequent loading and unloading operations, and the operation scenarios include: High-frequency start-stop operation scenario: used to transport goods from the warehouse shelves to the loading and unloading area, and the frequent start-stop during the operation causes significant current fluctuations in the battery pack; Heavy-load long-distance transportation scenario: used to carry heavy goods to the remote storage area, and the battery pack needs to bear high load for a long time, resulting in rapid battery temperature rise; Low-temperature environment operation scenario: outdoor goods loading and unloading operations under low-temperature conditions in winter, and the battery performance is significantly affected by low temperature.
[0043] To solve the problems in the above scenarios, this embodiment adopts the following steps: By collecting forklift operation data in real time, including current, voltage, load weight and position information, load prediction is carried out based on the bidirectional LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory Network) model. The LSTM model inputs historical working condition data and current real-time data to predict the load demand in the short term in the future. For example, in the frequent start-stop scenario, the prediction module anticipates in advance the current impact that the battery pack may suffer, and combines the predicted value optimized by the load weight coefficient to guide the adaptive current control module to dynamically adjust the discharge path, balance the load of battery cells, and avoid current overshoot. In the heavy-load long-distance transportation scenario, the system dynamically selects a suitable cooling mode (air cooling or liquid cooling) based on the future load demand value provided by the load prediction module. After experimentally calibrating the cooling coefficient, combining the real-time temperature and the load prediction value, the cooling power is adjusted to optimize the cooling energy consumption and temperature rise control; specifically, at the initial stage of high-load operation, the system preferentially adopts the efficient liquid cooling mode to quickly reduce the battery temperature rise; when the load decreases, the system switches to the low-energy air cooling mode to achieve the dynamic balance of cooling efficiency and energy consumption.
[0044] In a low-temperature environment, the system combines load prediction and battery internal impedance calculation. By optimizing the discharge current path, it preferentially selects battery cells with lower impedance to participate in discharge, reducing the impact of battery temperature rise on performance. At the same time, by adjusting the current distribution in real-time feedback, it ensures the discharge uniformity of all battery cells and extends the battery life. And the system transmits the operation data to the cloud platform through the Internet of Things module. The cloud platform conducts long-term analysis on the load prediction error, cooling energy consumption, and battery life data during operation, and iteratively optimizes the weights of the load prediction model and the thermal management parameters. For example, in a frequent start-stop scenario, the cloud platform adjusts the model parameters according to the historical data of high load impacts to optimize the prediction accuracy. In a low-temperature scenario, it optimizes the cooling coefficient through the historical temperature rise curve to improve the heat dissipation effect. Through this embodiment, the following significant improvements have been achieved in the actual application in the logistics park: In high-frequency start-stop operations, the current impact is reduced by about 20%, and the battery cell life is extended by 15%. In heavy-load scenarios, the dynamic switching between the liquid cooling mode and the air cooling mode reduces the cooling energy consumption by 25%, and the battery temperature rise is reduced by about 30%. In a low-temperature environment, the discharge efficiency is increased by 10%, and the operation stability is significantly enhanced. The optimization and iteration of the cloud platform enable the overall system to have the ability of continuous learning and improvement in complex scenarios, showing higher intelligent adaptability.
[0045] Embodiment 2: This embodiment optimizes the cooling mode switching conditions in the multi-mode thermal management module to enhance its applicability in extreme high-temperature and low-temperature working conditions. Specifically, in the cooling mode selection logic, based on the battery pack temperature and the load prediction value , the cooling mode is dynamically selected: When , the passive heat dissipation mode is maintained; when , the air cooling mode is activated, and the cooling power adjustment formula is: ; when , the air cooling mode is preferentially used, but liquid cooling is dynamically introduced as a supplement, and the mixed cooling power is calculated as: ; where represents the air cooling ratio, which is dynamically adjusted according to the real-time load prediction value, represents the cooling power in the air cooling mode, represents the cooling power in the liquid cooling mode; when , the liquid cooling mode is fully activated, and the cooling intensity is dynamically adjusted according to the load prediction value: ; the calibration method of its cooling coefficient is that the calibration of the cooling coefficient and is completed through the following steps: Simulate different temperature and load conditions in the laboratory environment, record the heat dissipation efficiency and energy consumption data; optimize the cooling coefficient according to the ratio of the minimum energy consumption and the best heat dissipation to ensure that the model is applicable to different working conditions.
[0046] Meanwhile, to eliminate ambiguity and further clarify the source and meaning of the parameters in the formula, for example, in the optimization of the load prediction formula, the weight coefficients in the prediction model and are determined by the following method: trained through the gradient descent algorithm, and the initial weights are optimized using historical load data; the weight update is based on the following formula: ; where is the learning rate, is the prediction error function, represents the weight at the current moment, represents the updated weight, is the model weight matrix. Also, the temperature control threshold is optimized by simulating the temperature rise curve in the actual working conditions to ensure the applicability of the temperature control strategy in high-frequency start-stop, heavy-load, and low-temperature scenarios. The edge computing module further enhances the data collaboration ability in this embodiment, such as real-time data processing. A distributed computing framework is introduced on the edge device to achieve the following functions: dynamically aggregating sensor data (including voltage, current, temperature, and position information); accelerating the execution of the short-term prediction model using the local cache mechanism; and in terms of collaborative optimization between modules, such as the interaction between the dynamic load prediction module and the multi-mode thermal management module is managed by a unified data flow protocol to reduce latency; the edge computing device periodically transmits the optimization parameters (such as the cooling coefficient and the prediction model weight) to the cloud platform for long-term optimization; an adaptive fault handling mechanism for the edge computing module is added. When a certain module fails to work properly, the system automatically switches to the backup strategy. The temperature control strategy in this embodiment is more flexible: covering a wider temperature range, significantly reducing the battery temperature rise and cooling energy consumption; the edge computing ability is improved: the data processing efficiency and the collaborative optimization effect between modules are improved, and the system stability is enhanced.
[0047] Embodiment 3: This embodiment specifically illustrates the source and calibration method of the variable parameters, as well as the specific implementation path of the cloud platform optimization model. In terms of multi-dimensional cooling coefficient calibration, for example, three typical working conditions of high-frequency start-stop, heavy-load long-distance transportation, and low-temperature environment are simulated in the laboratory, and the temperature rise curve and energy consumption data under each working condition are recorded by the edge computing device. The cooling coefficient and are calculated using the following formula: ; where represents the energy consumed during the cooling process, is the temperature change, is the predicted value of the load; according to the experimental results, optimize the cooling coefficient to make the heat dissipation efficiency and energy consumption ratio reach the optimum. In terms of the implementation of the cloud platform optimization model, such as data upload and analysis: the operation data collected in real time by the edge computing module, including the load prediction error, the cooling power usage, and the battery life data, are periodically transmitted to the cloud platform; weight update mechanism: based on the gradient descent algorithm, the cloud platform optimizes the model weights, and the formula is as follows: , where is the learning rate, is the load prediction error function, is the model weight, represents the model weight before optimization, represents the model weight after optimization. Cooling strategy adjustment: combine the historical operation data to optimize the temperature control threshold for cooling mode switching. For example, adjust the threshold in the low-temperature scenario: ; ensure that the cooling power adapts to the low-temperature environment requirements. In terms of the parameter range and value, such as the cooling coefficient The value range of: 0.1 - 2.0, which is applicable to the heat dissipation requirements under different load conditions; the learning rate for weight update: the value range is 0.001 - 0.01, ensuring the stable convergence of model optimization; the operation data collection period: 1 second, ensuring real-time and data integrity. Also, in terms of edge computing and module collaboration, such as real-time fault handling: when the edge computing device detects a sensor anomaly, it automatically switches to the redundant module to avoid data loss; data flow closed-loop optimization: the prediction module and the thermal management module interact through a unified protocol to reduce data latency. To verify the technical effects of this embodiment, the experimental scenarios of the present invention include three typical working conditions: high-frequency start-stop, heavy-load transportation, and low-temperature operation, and the detailed settings are as follows: High-frequency start-stop scenario: The forklift performs repeated cargo loading and unloading within 300 meters, simulating the current impact caused by high-frequency start-stop. The collected data includes the battery unit voltage, current change rate, and temperature rise curve; Heavy-load transportation scenario: The forklift transports heavy goods exceeding 50% of the rated load and travels a distance of more than 1 kilometer to evaluate the adaptability of load prediction and cooling management; Low-temperature operation scenario: Outdoor operation is carried out under the condition of an ambient temperature of -10°C to test the efficiency of the thermal management system and the stability of battery performance.
[0048] It can be obtained from the experimental results that for cooling energy consumption optimization: in the heavy-load transportation scenario, based on the cooling coefficient , Dynamic adjustment enables the system to successfully achieve efficient switching between air cooling and liquid cooling. The cooling energy consumption is reduced by 20% compared to the existing technology, and the temperature rise is controlled within 10°C, significantly reducing the risk of battery overheating. Battery life extension: The adaptive current control module equalizes the discharge of battery cells. Experimental data shows that the battery life is extended by 15% in high-frequency start-stop scenarios, reducing cell loss caused by current overshoot. Load prediction accuracy: The dynamic load prediction module combines the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm. Based on 3000 sets of load data collected from experiments, the load prediction accuracy is improved from 87% of traditional methods to 95%, significantly reducing the impact of prediction deviation on the cooling strategy. Optimization efficiency improvement: The collaboration optimization cycle between the edge computing device and the cloud platform is shortened from 72 hours to 48 hours, mainly due to the real-time tuning of cooling parameters by the edge computing module and the rapid iteration ability of the cloud platform. And during the experiment, all data is collected by the edge computing device and transmitted to the cloud platform for analysis. The cooling energy consumption is recorded by the real-time power output of the thermal management module, the battery life is estimated from the change trends of cell voltage and internal impedance, and the load prediction accuracy is calculated based on the error between the predicted value and the actual load.
[0049] Example 4: In this example, the dynamic load prediction module adopts a dynamic load prediction model based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm, and further refines the parameter optimization process and data preprocessing method of the model. To improve the accuracy of load prediction, the following key technical steps are introduced: Historical data normalization: All input load data (current, voltage, temperature, forklift operation load) is first normalized to eliminate the dimensional differences between different data sources and ensure the efficient training of the LSTM model. Data segmentation processing: Real-time load data is segmented according to time series, and the load fluctuation frequency and amplitude within each time period are calculated respectively as the input of the LSTM model. By analyzing the load data in multiple time periods, the complexity of single calculation can be reduced, and the calculation speed and real-time performance can be improved. LSTM model parameter optimization: The gradient descent algorithm is used to optimize the model weights and update the historical load weights and real-time data weights in the LSTM model. The weight update formula is as follows: ; where is the learning rate, is the load prediction error function.
