Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and more specifically to a new energy vehicle multi-source system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When operating in hot summer weather, new energy vehicles require cooling of the passenger compartment and power battery. In cold winter weather, both require heating, and the windows require defrosting. The operation of the thermal management system significantly increases power consumption, reducing vehicle range. A common scenario involves long, long-distance highway traffic jams during holidays. Auxiliary systems, especially air conditioning, drain the power battery of new energy vehicles, forcing them to break down mid-trip. This deters holiday users from using highways or traveling long distances by electric vehicle.

[0003] To address the issue of insufficient driving range in new energy vehicles due to power consumption in auxiliary systems, the current approach is to replace the vehicle with a larger power battery.

[0009] The present invention also provides a control method for a multi-source system of a new energy vehicle, including power source selection and power supply switching of comfort electrical accessories.

[0010] The specific steps for selecting the power supply for comfort electrical accessories are as follows:

[0011] 1.1 The vehicle is in high-voltage power-on state.

[0012] 1.2 The power BMS main control module and the auxiliary source BMS main control module monitor the status of their respective battery systems.

[0013] 1.3 The power BMS main control module and the auxiliary source BMS main control module send their respective battery system status information to the vehicle control module.

[0014] 1.4 The vehicle control module obtains the status of two battery systems. It first determines whether the auxiliary power supply can meet the power demand of the comfort electrical accessories. If so, it locks the auxiliary power supply, disables the power battery from supplying power to the comfort electrical accessories, and sends the locking information to the power BMS main control module and the auxiliary source BMS main control module.

[0016] 1.6 After receiving the high-voltage command from the vehicle control module, the auxiliary source BMS main control module drives the pre-charge contactor S11 to close. After the pre-charge is completed, the main negative contactor S12 is closed and then the pre-charge contactor S11 is opened.

[0017] 1.7 If the auxiliary power supply is locked in step 1.4, the vehicle control module sends a closing instruction for contactors S9 and S10 of the comfort electrical accessories to the auxiliary source BMS main control module; if the power battery is locked in step 1.4, the vehicle control module sends a closing instruction for contactors S6 and S7 of the comfort electrical accessories to the power BMS main control module.

[0018] 1.8 After receiving the closing instructions for contactors S9 and S10 from the vehicle control module, the auxiliary source BMS main control module drives the closing of the corresponding contactors S9 and S10; after receiving the closing instructions for contactors S6 and S7 from the vehicle control module, the power BMS main control module drives the closing of the corresponding contactors S6 and S7.

[0019] When the auxiliary power supply cannot meet the power demand of the comfort electrical accessories, the power supply is switched to the power battery. The specific steps are as follows:

[0020] 2.1 The vehicle is in high voltage power-on state;

[0021] 2.2 The power BMS main control module and the auxiliary source BMS main control module monitor the status of their respective battery systems;

[0024] 2.5 If the power battery does not meet the power demand in step 2.4, a corresponding warning message is sent to the vehicle instrument cluster; if the power battery meets the power demand in step 2.4, the power battery is locked to supply power to the comfort electrical accessories, and the lock information is sent to the power BMS main control module and the auxiliary power BMS main control module;

[0025] 2.6 The vehicle control module sends a disconnect instruction for contactors S9 and S10 to the auxiliary BMS main control module;

[0026] 2.7 After receiving the disconnection instruction of contactor S9 and contactor S10 from the vehicle control module, the auxiliary source BMS main control module drives the disconnection of the corresponding contactor S9 and contactor S10;

[0027] 2.8 The vehicle control module sends a disconnect command for the main negative contactor S12 to the auxiliary source BMS main control module;

[0028] 2.9 After receiving the main negative contactor S12 disconnection instruction from the vehicle control module, the auxiliary source BMS main control module drives the disconnection of the main negative contactor S12;

[0029] 2.10 The auxiliary source BMS main control module obtains the sampling information of the high-voltage sampling module and feeds back the status of the main negative contactor S12 to the vehicle control module;

[0030] 2.11 If the vehicle controller receives the disconnect status of the main negative contactor S12, it will send the closing instruction of contactors S6 and S7 to the power BMS main control module;

[0032] The above-mentioned power battery and auxiliary power supply can be charged at the same time. There are three charging modes:

[0033] (1) The power battery is charged but the auxiliary power supply is not charged: the vehicle control module issues a command to close contactors S1, S2, and S3 of the power battery circuit. If the comfort electrical accessories need to work, the vehicle control module issues a command to close contactors S6 and S7, and prohibits contactors S9, S10, and the main negative contactor S12 from closing. During the charging process, the power supply for the comfort electrical accessories is provided by the DC charging circuit 1 of the power battery;

[0034] (2) The auxiliary power supply is charged but the power battery is not charged: the vehicle control module sends a command to close the main negative contactor S12, contactor S13, and contactor S14 of the auxiliary power supply circuit, and at the same time controls the awakening of the power battery BMS main control module but does not give the power battery A+ signal, completes the high-voltage power-on of the power battery, closes the contactor S1 and closes the auxiliary drive system contactor S8, the power battery supplies power to the low-voltage battery through DC / DC, and then the low-voltage battery supplies low-voltage power to the auxiliary power supply. If the comfort electrical accessories need to work, the vehicle control module sends a command to close contactors S9 and S10, and contactors S6 and S7 are prohibited from closing. During the charging process, the power supply for the comfort electrical accessories is provided by the auxiliary power supply high-voltage charging circuit;

[0035] (3) Charging the power battery and the auxiliary power supply at the same time: the vehicle control module issues a command to close contactors S1, S2, S3, main negative contactor S12, S13 and S14. If the comfort electric accessories need to work, the vehicle control module issues a command to close contactors S9 and S10 of the auxiliary power supply circuit, while contactors S6 and S7 of the power battery circuit are prohibited from closing. During the charging process, the power supply for the comfort electric accessories is provided by the DC charging circuit 2 of the auxiliary power supply. When the auxiliary power supply is charging and the power battery is out of charging, the power battery does not reduce the high voltage, and the power battery is turned on. The low-voltage battery is powered by DC / DC, and then the low-voltage battery supplies low-voltage power to the auxiliary power supply. After the auxiliary power supply is charged, it exits. If the comfort electrical accessories need to work, the DC charging circuit 2 of the auxiliary power supply continues to provide power; when the power battery is charging and the auxiliary power supply exits charging, the vehicle control module sends an instruction to disconnect contactor S9, contactor S10, main negative contactor S12, contactor S13, and contactor S14. If the comfort electrical accessories need to work, the contactors S6 and S7 of the power battery circuit are closed, and the power supply for the comfort electrical accessories is provided by the DC charging circuit 1 of the power battery.

[0036] It can be seen from the above description of the present invention that, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0037] 1. The multi-source system for new energy vehicles of the present invention adds an auxiliary power supply on the basis of the original vehicle's high-voltage architecture. It communicates with the BMS main control modules of the two sets of batteries through the vehicle control module to obtain the status of the two sets of batteries. The auxiliary power supply is used to power the comfort electrical accessories first. When the auxiliary power supply is insufficient, it switches to power supply with the power battery. It is used to solve the problem of reduced vehicle range caused by power consumption of comfort electrical accessories such as air conditioning.

[0038] 2. The control method of the multi-source system of a new energy vehicle of the present invention is as follows: when the comfort electrical accessories need to work, the vehicle control module obtains the SOC, voltage, current, temperature, alarm information and other status of the two battery systems, and gives priority to using the auxiliary power supply to supply power to the comfort electrical accessories, without affecting the power supply of the main drive motor by the power battery. At the lowest cost, it ensures the normal opening of the comfort electrical accessories and the unchanged vehicle range. When the auxiliary power supply is insufficient or faulty, the vehicle control module can switch the power battery to supply power to the comfort electrical accessories by controlling the corresponding contactor, to prevent the comfort electrical accessories from being unable to start normally in this state, thereby causing serious consequences such as high temperature failure of the power battery.

[0039] 3. The present invention only needs to cover the cost of the newly added auxiliary power supply to ensure the normal operation of the comfort electrical accessories while ensuring that the vehicle's cruising range is not reduced, which greatly reduces costs. Because the two sets of batteries in the present invention operate independently, the two sets of batteries can be selected from any different brands and materials. The auxiliary power supply is not used for driving, but only powers components such as air conditioners and water cooling units. The operating conditions are relatively good, and the cycle life requirements are not high. Therefore, cost factors can be given priority when selecting solutions. Compared with the high cost of large-capacity power batteries in the original solution, this can play a role in reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
