[0063] Figure 5 is a flow chart showing a method for detecting switch sintering of a charging circuit according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the method can be applied to a controller in a vehicle, the controller is respectively connected to a switch component of a charging circuit, a boost circuit, a first battery pack, a second battery pack and a first load, and the switch sintering detection method of the charging circuit may include the following steps:

[0064] In step S501, the switch assembly, the boost circuit, the first battery pack and the second battery pack are controlled to be turned on and off to form a comparison circuit.

[0065] In this embodiment, the controller can control the on and off of the switch component, the boost circuit, the first battery pack and the second battery pack. Specifically, the on and off of the switch component, the boost circuit, the first battery pack and the second battery pack can be controlled in batches at different times, so that a comparison circuit can be obtained after each control, so that different comparison circuits can be obtained at different times, forming at least one comparison circuit.

[0066] In step S502, the sintering result of the switch component is determined according to the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage in the comparison circuit, the first comparison voltage includes at least one of the first voltage corresponding to the charging port and the second voltage corresponding to the first load, and the second comparison voltage includes at least one of the third voltage corresponding to the first battery pack and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack.

[0067] In this embodiment, a first comparison voltage and a second comparison voltage can be obtained respectively, wherein the first comparison voltage can be at least one of a first voltage corresponding to the charging port and a second voltage corresponding to the first load, and the second comparison voltage can be at least one of a third voltage corresponding to the first battery pack and a fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack, so as to determine the sintering result of the switch component based on the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage.

[0068] Specifically, the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage corresponding to each comparison circuit may be compared, and the sintering result of the switch component may be determined according to the comparison result, wherein the sintering result includes sintering and unsintering.

[0069] By controlling the on and off of the switch component, the boost circuit, the first battery pack and the second battery pack, a comparison circuit is formed, and the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage in the comparison circuit are obtained, the first comparison voltage includes at least one of the first voltage corresponding to the charging port and the second voltage corresponding to the first load, the second comparison voltage includes at least one of the third voltage corresponding to the first battery pack and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack, and finally the sintering result of the switch component is determined according to the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage. The sintering result of the switch component of the charging circuit can be determined without adding any voltage sampling lines, which can simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0070] In a possible implementation, controlling the on and off of the switch assembly, the boost circuit, the first battery pack, and the second battery pack to form a comparison circuit may include:

[0071] The switch components at both ends of the charging port are controlled to be disconnected, the first battery pack is controlled to disconnect the circuit, the second battery pack is controlled to connect the circuit, and the bridge arm groups are controlled to be closed, so that the charging port and the first load are disconnected from the first battery pack and the second battery pack, and a first comparison circuit is obtained.

[0072] In this embodiment, in order not to affect the normal use of the vehicle, the sintering detection of the switch can be performed during the process of the vehicle power-off. That is, in response to the power-off instruction, the switch components can be controlled to be disconnected, that is, the first switch, the second switch and the third switch can be controlled to be disconnected, and the first battery pack can be controlled to disconnect the circuit, for example, the fourth switch and the fifth switch at both ends of the first battery pack can be controlled to be disconnected, so that the first battery pack cannot output current, and the second battery pack can be controlled to connect the circuit, for example, the sixth switch and the seventh switch at both ends of the second battery pack can be controlled to be closed, so that the second battery pack can output current, and the bridge arm groups in the boost circuit are controlled to be closed, that is, the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm in the boost circuit are closed, and current cannot pass through, and the first comparison circuit is obtained. If the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is outside the preset range, the DC charging contactor sintering detection in this power-off process is terminated, and then the second battery pack is controlled to disconnect the circuit. At this time, the first battery pack and the second battery pack are both disconnected, and the power-off can be completed. Therefore, the formation of the comparison circuit can be completed during the power-off process without adding other connecting wires, saving costs.

[0073] In a possible implementation, determining the sintering result of the switch component according to the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage in the comparison circuit may include:

[0074] When the difference between the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within a preset interval, it is determined that the first switch and the second switch are sintered; after determining that the first switch and the second switch are sintered, when the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within a preset interval, it is determined that the first switch, the second switch and the third switch are sintered.

[0075] In this embodiment, under normal circumstances, the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack are both zero. If the difference between the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within a preset interval, it is confirmed that the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack are approximately equal under the condition of satisfying the error, then the first switch and the second switch are sintered, so that the first load is connected to the second battery pack. After determining that the first switch and the second switch are sintered, the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack can be further determined. If the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within a preset interval, then the first switch and the third switch are sintered, so that the charging port is connected to the second battery pack, and the sintering result of the switch assembly can be determined as the first switch, the second switch and the third switch are all sintered. In this way, the sintering result of the switch assembly can be determined without adding connecting wires, saving costs.

[0076] In a possible implementation, determining the sintering result of the switch component according to the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage in the comparison circuit includes:

[0077] When the difference between the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is outside the preset interval, the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit is compared with the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack; when the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within the preset interval, it is determined that the first switch and the third switch are sintered.

[0078] In this embodiment, if the difference between the second voltage corresponding to the first load in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is outside the preset range, the first switch and the second switch are not sintered at the same time, and the first load is not connected to the second battery pack. The next step of diagnosis can be entered to compare the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit with the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack. If the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the first comparison circuit and the fourth voltage corresponding to the second battery pack is within the preset range, the first switch and the third switch are sintered, and the charging port is connected to the second battery pack. It can be determined that the sintering result of the switch component is the sintering of the first switch and the third switch. Therefore, the formation of the comparison circuit can be completed during the power-off process without adding other connecting wires, saving costs.

[0079] In a possible implementation manner, the switch sintering detection method of the charging circuit further includes:

[0080] Control the switch components at both ends of the charging port to be disconnected, control the first battery pack to connect the circuit, control the second battery pack to disconnect the circuit, and control the bridge arm groups to be closed, so that the first load is connected to the first battery pack, the first load is disconnected from the second battery pack, and the charging port is disconnected from the first battery pack and the second battery pack, to obtain a second comparison circuit.

[0081] In this embodiment, the sintering result of the switch assembly can be judged during the power-on process to avoid affecting the normal use of the vehicle. Specifically, in response to the power-on instruction, the switch assemblies can be controlled to be disconnected, that is, the first switch, the second switch and the third switch can be controlled to be disconnected, and the first battery pack can be controlled to connect the circuit, for example, the fourth switch and the fifth switch at both ends of the first battery pack can be controlled to be closed, so that the first battery pack can output current, and the second battery pack can be controlled to disconnect the circuit, for example, the sixth switch and the seventh switch at both ends of the second battery pack can be controlled to be disconnected, so that the second battery pack cannot output current, and the bridge arm groups in the boost circuit are controlled to be closed, that is, the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm in the boost circuit are closed, and current cannot pass through, so as to obtain the second comparison circuit. In this way, the second comparison circuit can be obtained by the way of controlling during the vehicle power-on process, avoiding additional connecting wires and saving costs.

[0082] In a possible implementation, determining the sintering result of the switch component according to the first comparison voltage and the second comparison voltage in the comparison circuit includes:

[0083] When the difference between the first voltage corresponding to the charging port in the second comparison circuit and the third voltage corresponding to the first battery pack is within a preset range, it is determined that the second switch and the third switch are sintered, thereby determining the sintering result of the switch assembly without adding connecting wires, saving costs.

[0084] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:
