Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery equalization, and in particular to a lithium-ion battery SOC active equalization circuit based on a Zeta converter. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries occupy a core position in the electric vehicle power battery market due to their outstanding energy density, long-term cycle stability, no memory effect, and high efficiency and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, the voltage and capacity limitations of single cells make it difficult to directly meet the high performance requirements of electric vehicles. Therefore, building a battery pack composed of multiple batteries in series and parallel has become an inevitable choice. However, this combination strategy also raises new problems: manufacturing differences, operating environment differences, and different charging and discharging strategies lead to mismatches in capacity, voltage, internal resistance, etc. among the single cells in the battery pack, which not only weakens the overall durability and reliability of the battery pack, but also poses a severe challenge to the safety of the system. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of single cells in lithium-ion battery packs, researchers have proposed many balancing circuits, devices, and methods. Current battery balancing technologies are mainly divided into passive balancing and active balancing. Passive balancing consumes excess energy in the form of heat through resistance, but this method will cause energy loss in the battery pack, and the high temperature environment caused by improper heat dissipation will damage the performance of the battery pack.

[0003] Active balancing technology is to transfer energy from a higher battery cell to a lower battery cell. For example, the patent document with application publication number CN113489083A discloses a hierarchical balancing control method for lithium-ion battery packs based on a buck-boost converter. This method adds multiple energy storage inductance elements, diodes, and balancing control switches to the lithium-ion battery pack. By controlling the switch to close, the single battery with higher energy storage stores excess energy in the corresponding inductance, and then controls the switch to close to transfer the energy in the inductance to the single battery with lower energy storage, forming a balancing control of the series lithium-ion battery pack. In addition, two adjacent single batteries are formed into a small module, and then the adjacent small modules are formed into a large module. Through logical control, each level is balanced to achieve three-level balancing control. The balancing control method proposed in this patent can not only achieve balancing between two adjacent single batteries, but also indirectly achieve balancing between two non-adjacent single batteries through balancing control between adjacent modules, shortening the energy transmission path and improving the efficiency of the battery pack balancing system. However, the balancing circuit used in this control method includes multiple control switches, and the logical control is very complex. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing lithium-ion battery pack balancing technology, the present invention proposes a lithium-ion battery SOC active balancing circuit based on a Zeta converter, and the balancing circuit is composed of multiple Zeta converters and multiple cross-over capacitors. The balancing circuit is based on the Zeta circuit and proposes a new type of battery SOC active balancing circuit, which includes an n-way output Zeta converter, n-1 cross-over capacitors and n lithium-ion batteries. The output consistency is achieved by adding a cross-over capacitor between each path. Compared with the traditional multi-series Zeta circuit balancing structure, the present invention realizes automatic voltage balancing between battery cells through cross-over capacitors, does not require complex sampling and control algorithms, and avoids the terminal voltage imbalance problem caused by the cross-regulation rate when the multi-series Zeta circuit outputs; effectively reduces voltage deviation and improves battery balancing accuracy.
