Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a pure electric tractor system and a power management strategy. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, the electrification process in the fields of engineering machinery and agricultural machinery is also accelerating. The new energy tractor meets the policy and industry development needs.
[0003] The tractor has many application scenarios and complex working conditions, thus requiring various power units, such as a drive system, a front PTO power take-off, a rear PTO power take-off, and an upper-mounted working unit. Correspondingly, the new energy tractor inevitably requires high-voltage electric drive power units, such as a drive motor, a rear PTO power take-off motor, a front PTO power take-off motor, an upper-mounted hydraulic pump system motor, and a steering system hydraulic motor. In general, a DC-DC converter, an electric air conditioner, an electric heater, a battery cooling system, and a battery heating system are also required.
[0004] According to the energy supply mode of the whole vehicle, it is generally divided into fuel engine + battery hybrid drive, pure electric drive, fuel cell drive, and other technical routes. Among them, the pure electric drive scheme is limited by the space of the tractor itself, and the battery capacity that can be configured is limited, so the continuous discharge power of the battery system will be limited. The common solution is to use power density batteries to increase the allowable discharge power of the battery. However, power batteries generally have lower energy density, which affects the vehicle's endurance time and mileage, and limits the selection range of the battery. Another way is to increase the APU range extender and the generator to increase the power supply mode, thereby limiting the application and promotion of the pure electric drive technical route.
[0005] In view of the above two situations, under the pure electric technical route, in the face of the simultaneous work demand of various high-voltage power units, a reasonable whole vehicle high and low voltage system architecture needs to be designed, and an effective power management strategy of the parts is required to achieve the balance of the whole vehicle power supply and use, while meeting the actual working condition requirements of the vehicle.
[0006] The patent application with the publication number CN115320430A discloses a "pure electric tractor charging and discharging control method, system and tractor". The core control method of the patent application is to connect the tractor to the charging pile, focus on the design of high-voltage principles and contactor control, i.e. the start-stop work of the parts and the management of the charging state. It is limited that only when the PTO drive motor outputs, the charging pile can be connected. This limits the application scenarios and working conditions of the whole vehicle and does not have universality.
[0007] The patent application with the publication number CN113635785A discloses an electric tractor, the core of which introduces a scheme configuration and is a theoretical architecture, without considering the integrated development of current new energy industry components, without explicitly specifying the real vehicle system architecture that can be landed, and the actual development guidance is small. Moreover, the patent application is configured with a generator set, which belongs to a hybrid scheme and limits the non-pure electric technology route.
[0008] The patent application with the publication number CN114212001A discloses a pure electric vehicle full life cycle discharge power management method, the core of which is to manage and correct the discharge power of the battery system, aiming to improve the battery life and vehicle driving experience. However, the patent application does not manage the priority and discharge power of the vehicle components, and cannot solve the problem of managing multiple power devices of agricultural machinery.
[0009] In summary, the above patent application schemes and technical routes have some problems in actual engineering application, and have certain limitations in the development and verification of pure electric tractor schemes. Especially in the face of industry and policy promotion, practical application scheme architecture and management strategies are still needed. SUMMARY

[0165] Example 2, ATS (Advanced Thermal System) heat dissipation module
[0166] In combination Figure 2 , the components and connection relationships of this embodiment are the same as those of example 1, and the only difference is that an ATS heat dissipation module is further provided for each heat generating element; wherein, a water-cooled heat dissipation module is configured for the driving motor 1 and the rear PTO motor 2, and for the DC-DC module I, the MCU module G and the MCU module H, a heat dissipation plate with a cooling water channel is provided inside to dissipate heat for each module and prevent the temperature from being too high to affect the normal work of the corresponding module.
[0167] The water-cooled heat dissipation module is composed of two electronic water pumps, two electronic fans, a heat dissipation core, a temperature sensor, a water storage kettle and water channels connecting each module; electronic water pump 1 and electronic water pump 2 both extract cooling liquid from the water storage kettle, the composition of the cooling liquid is adjusted according to the actual application scene, for example, it can be a solution composed of 80%-20% water+20%-80% alcohol, such as a solution composed of 50% water+50% glycol, or a solution composed of 70% water+30% glycerol; electronic water pump 1 is responsible for the heat dissipation of the driving motor (traveling system), and electronic water pump 2 is responsible for the heat dissipation of the rear PTO system and high-voltage power devices. Electronic water pump 1 extracts cooling liquid and pumps it into driving motor 1 to cool it. Hot water flows out of the water outlet of the motor and flows into the heat dissipation core; electronic water pump 2 extracts cooling liquid and pumps it into rear PTO motor 2, and then into the water inlet of the cooling pipeline of power electronic PEU unit E, and successively flows through the heat dissipation plates of motor control MCU module G, motor control MCU module H and DC-DC frequency converter module I, and finally flows into the heat dissipation core from the water outlet of the cooling pipeline of power electronic PEU unit E; two electronic fans are designed on the heat dissipation core to blow away the heat in the cooling liquid in cooperation with the heat dissipation core; the power supply of the electronic water pump and the electronic fan is low-voltage power supply, and by adjusting the rotating speed of the electronic water pump and the rotating speed of the electronic fan, the heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation module can be dynamically adjusted; the inlet water and outlet water of the heat dissipation core are respectively provided with a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the system, and after the temperature signal is collected by vehicle control VCU unit V, the appropriate rotating speed of the electronic water pump and the rotating speed of the electronic fan at this time are judged to avoid the system temperature being too high and also avoid power waste. In addition, a one-way valve is arranged in the pipeline connected with the water outlet of the heat dissipation core, and the function of the one-way valve is that: since the two sets of circulating systems both take water from one place, the backwater will return together, if the water flow resistance is unbalanced, there is a risk that the hot water of one system will flow into the other, and the one-way valve can avoid this problem.
