Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric vehicle power management, and in particular to a battery pack dynamic management and self-cleaning switching system and a control method thereof, which are particularly suitable for two-wheeled electric vehicles powered by multiple battery packs. Background Art

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are currently the most commonly used power source in two-wheeled electric vehicles. Generally, four or five 12V batteries are connected in series to power the vehicle. In actual use, if a battery in the battery pack has a serious abnormality or poor contact, it will affect the working state of the entire series circuit. What is more dangerous is that users often cannot detect this abnormality in time, and continued use will cause other batteries to work in an abnormal state for a long time, which not only accelerates the performance degradation of the battery pack, but may also cause the vehicle to suddenly lose power during driving, causing great trouble to the user, and even causing safety hazards in serious cases.

[0003] To solve the above problems, a system is needed that can detect the status of single cells and flexibly adjust the battery connection method. Such a system can not only detect battery abnormalities in a timely manner and take countermeasures, but also charge batteries with large performance differences individually or in groups, thereby balancing the performance differences of each battery, effectively extending the service life of the battery pack and reducing the failure rate.

[0004] However, implementing this detection and flexible charging solution requires the layout of numerous electronic components, complex circuits, and multiple switches. These switches and contacts are prone to oxidation and spark corrosion during frequent switching, resulting in uneven contact surfaces, affecting effective contact on the contact surfaces, and increasing resistance, which not only causes heating problems but also affects charging effects. In addition, complex circuit systems also increase failure points, increasing maintenance difficulty and costs.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a solution to complete line switching by replacing electronic components with mechanical structures. This solution can not only realize battery status detection and flexible charging methods through special mechanical structure design, but also promptly notify the user to switch to temporary voltage reduction riding mode when battery abnormality is detected, so that the vehicle can safely reach the maintenance point and avoid the trouble of road breakdown. At the same time, the contact design of this solution is easy to clean and maintain, which significantly improves the reliability and service life of the system. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined Figure 1-Figure 7 The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. It should be noted that the following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, rather than a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.

[0030] Embodiment 1: refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides a battery pack dynamic management and self-cleaning switching system, which is mainly used in the field of electric vehicles, and is particularly suitable for two-wheeled electric vehicles powered by multiple battery packs. The system realizes the real-time monitoring, dynamic switching and fault isolation functions of the battery pack through an innovative multi-power selective connection device 40, and integrates a unique contact self-cleaning mechanism, which effectively solves the contact reliability problem in the traditional multi-battery switching system. The system adopts a modular design and can be flexibly installed under the main support tube of the frame, which not only ensures the compactness of the vehicle structure, but also facilitates maintenance and operation.

[0031] The multi-power selective connection device 40 is installed in the frame 10 of the two-wheeled electric vehicle. The frame 10 is connected to the steering support frame 18. The frame 10 includes a main support pipe 11 connected to the steering support frame 18. On both sides of the main support pipe 11 along the width direction of the electric vehicle, a plurality of groups of symmetric side bracket groups 12 are connected. Among them, the side bracket group 12 is made of hollow steel pipes. The diameter of the main support pipe is 30 - 40 mm, and the diameter of the secondary support pipe is 20 - 25 mm. Each bracket group is fixedly connected by welding, and reinforcing rib plates are added at key nodes. The plurality of groups of side bracket groups 12 are arranged in a three-sided surrounding shape, and an installation position 121 for placing the battery is formed. An installation box body 13 with a waterproof design is arranged in the installation position 121. The installation box body 13 has drainage holes and a ventilation structure, and a shock pad is arranged inside. The battery is installed in the installation box body 13.

[0032] The power supply architecture of this system adopts a "field" - shaped layout design, configuring four 12V battery units, and dividing them into left and right two groups of battery packs 21 with the symmetry axis of the electric vehicle's traveling direction. The distance between the two groups of battery packs is, for example, 30 - 50 mm. The space formed realizes the dynamic control of the battery temperature through a forced convection heat dissipation system, and at the same time accommodates the multi-power selective connection device 40. The system adopts a standardized interface design, and the external connection wires 22 equipped for each battery unit use waterproof type quick - plug electrical connectors.

[0033] Reference Figure 2-Figure 7 , the core structure of the multi-power selective connection device 40 includes four groups of connected contacts 41, a mode adjustment mechanism 42, a scale deposit layer cleaning structure 43, and an integrated operation and installation disk 44. The technical features of each component are as follows: Connected contacts 41: Adopt a symmetric layout. Each group of connected contacts 41 is equipped with a corresponding scale deposit layer cleaning structure 43, located on both sides of the mode adjustment mechanism 42; The contact head material is selected as a highly conductive gold - plated copper alloy, and two pairs of positive and negative contact heads are arranged on each side; Connect to the battery pole through a waterproof electrical connector to ensure that the contact resistance ≤ 0.5 mΩ; Adopt a coaxial self - rotation design, and the rotation torque is controlled within 0.8 N•m; The four connected contacts 41 are distributed in an equally divided circular arc shape to ensure uniform force.

[0034] The modular design of the system supports flexibly configuring the number of connected contacts 41 according to actual application requirements, maintaining a symmetric distribution on both sides of the mode adjustment mechanism 42.

[0035] Key component design of the mode adjustment mechanism 42: Adjustment disk 421: Made of wear - resistant engineering plastic, with a diameter of 80 - 100 mm and a thickness of 15 - 20 mm; Contact distribution: Multiple contacts 4221 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction at both ends of the adjustment disk 421 (only the contacts at one end of the adjustment disk are shown in the figure), and the contacts are made of silver-plated copper alloy, with a contact resistance of ≤0.3mΩ; Shift combination: Multiple contacts 4221 form several shift contact combinations 422. The contacts 4221 of each shift contact combination 422 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the adjustment disk 421. The number of contacts matches the number of connected contacts 41. Circuit design: Each gear contact combination 422 realizes line connection of different modes by adjusting the wire (cross-sectional area ≥ 2.5mm²) inside the disc 421. The contact 4221 can be reused in different gear contact combinations 422 to improve space utilization; When a battery in the battery pack is in an abnormal state (voltage <10.5V or current fluctuation exceeds the rated value ±20%), the system can drive the adjustment disc 421 to rotate (angle 0-360°, step angle 15°) through the stepper motor to achieve the reconnection of the battery pack. The stepper motor drive ensures that the positioning accuracy is within ±0.5° and the contact pressure of the contact point is maintained within the range of 0.6-0.8MPa.

[0036] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8-Figure 9 The fouling layer cleaning structure 43 is mainly composed of the following components: two contact friction arc segments 431 for cleaning the fouling of the connecting contact head 41, and two contact friction arc segments 432 for cleaning the fouling of the contact 4221; these friction components are symmetrically installed on the two sides of the operation installation plate 44, and are respectively located between the adjustment disk 421 and the corresponding connecting contact head 41. The contact friction arc segment 431 is made of tungsten carbide material with a hardness not less than HRA90, and is designed with four connection holes 4312, which correspond to the connecting contact head 41 one by one. Its key technical parameters are as follows: First friction surface 4311: in contact with the connecting contact head 41, with a surface roughness Ra value of 0.8-1.2 μm; Second friction surface 4321: in contact with contact point 4221, using the same surface treatment process; All friction contact surfaces have been treated for anti-oxidation, and their service life is ≥ 10,000 reciprocating movements; by rotating the operating mounting disk 44, the first friction surface 4311 of the contact friction arc segment 431 and the connecting contact head 41 are subjected to relative movement cleaning; by rotating the adjusting disk 421, the second friction surface 4321 of the contact friction arc segment 432 rubs and cleans the contact 4221.

[0037] This innovative self-cleaning design effectively solves the fouling problem caused by environmental oxidation, spark corrosion and other factors in traditional systems. Through regular or automatic cleaning during switching, the contact surface roughness can be maintained below Ra 1.6μm and the contact resistance can be controlled within 0.5mΩ. The design is expected to extend the battery life by 30-50% and ensure that the supply voltage fluctuation is ≤±2%.

[0038] The design of the contact friction arc section 431 not only has a cleaning function, but also integrates an electrical isolation function. A complete dwelling space is designed in the area outside the connection hole 4312, which can accommodate a connection contact head 41, and the dirt is removed through the surface friction of 3-5N. The system uses step rotation to achieve precise positioning, and the ratchet structure can achieve a positioning accuracy of ±0.5° and has a self-locking function, ensuring that the connection contact head 41 can be completely located in the dwelling space to achieve reliable electrical isolation. In terms of contact interface optimization, the inner wall of the connection hole 4312 adopts a 15° chamfer design (depth 0.5-0.8mm) and is anodized. The end of the connection contact head 41 close to the contact 4221 adopts a spherical design and is plated with a 3-5μm gold layer, which controls the friction coefficient between 0.1-0.15 and the operating force is controlled below 5N to ensure a smooth and reliable conversion process. In order to improve the conductivity, the surface of the connection contact head 41 is coated with a conductive elastic layer of 0.2-0.3mm thick, and graphene composite materials (volume resistivity ≤10^-3Ω•cm, elastic deformation 20-30%), doped PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer materials (conductivity>1000 S / cm) or beryllium copper alloy (yield strength ≥500MPa) and other material solutions can be used. This system uses a composite material of 8-12 layers of graphene and silicone rubber, which has excellent lateral conductivity (>5000 S / cm). When the connection contact head 41 enters the connection hole 4312, the conductive elastic layer generates an elastic pressure of 2-3N, ensuring that the contact resistance is <0.3mΩ, and reliably supports the instantaneous current transmission of ≥100A.

[0039] Refer to all the attached documents. In order to realize the compact integration of the mode adjustment mechanism 42 and the fouling layer cleaning structure 43, the operation installation disk 44 adopts a symmetrical design. Its core structure includes two installation disks 441 formed by precision injection molding. A cylindrical installation space 442 (diameter 82-85mm, axial clearance 0.2-0.3mm) for installing the adjustment disk 421 is formed between the two disks. An annular sealing groove (depth 1.5mm, width 2mm) is provided on the inner wall of the space for sealing ring installation. The connecting through hole 4411 on the installation disk 441 is precisely machined to maintain high-precision coaxiality with the four through holes 4312. The contact friction arc segment 431 and the contact point friction arc segment 432 are integrated in the same installation disk 441 by means of positioning pins and pressure plates. This design not only realizes the precise coaxial installation of the two friction components, but also provides IP54 protection for the contact point 4221 through the lip seal ring, effectively preventing the deposition of environmental pollutants (particle size>10μm). In addition, the synchronous rotation (speed ratio 1:1) of the two friction components can be achieved through the single-point drive operation mounting plate 44 (torque 1.2-1.5N•m), and the efficiency and reliability of dirt cleaning are improved in combination with the ratchet positioning mechanism.

[0040] The fine structure of the mounting disc 441 adopts an integrated design. The arc groove 4412 is precisely matched with the thickness of the contact friction arc segment 431 and the contact friction arc segment 432, and the matching clearance is controlled at 0.05-0.1mm. Both arc segments are precisely machined in arc shape and are precisely installed in the arc groove 4412 through the positioning boss (height 2mm). The contact friction arc segment 432 passes through the arc groove 4412 through a precisely machined through hole (aperture tolerance H7), and maintains a working clearance of 0.2-0.3mm with the contact 4221. This integrated design makes the installation of the contact friction arc segment 431 and the contact friction arc segment 432 more compact.

[0041] In order to achieve precise control of the adjustment disc 421, a special transmission mechanism is designed for the system. A circular end face edge of the adjustment disc 421 is integrated with a full circumference adjustment gear 51, which is processed by precision carburizing and quenching process. The gear and the gear transmission rod 52 (module 1.5, number of teeth 20) made of 20CrMnTi form a 2:1 reduction transmission, and the side clearance of the gear pair is controlled at 0.1-0.15mm. The gear transmission rod 52 is supported by deep groove ball bearings (6202-2Z) at both ends and extends to the front part through the main support tube 11 (axial movement ≤0.5mm). The system provides two control schemes: when manually controlled, it is connected to the adjustment operating component at the front of the car through the SAE 6-tooth spline, and the operating torque is ≤2N•m; when automatically controlled, it can be directly driven by a stepper motor (such as 42 stepper motor, torque ≥0.4N•m) or a servo motor (power 50-100W) to achieve remote automatic control. This design enables the system to automatically complete the optimal switching of the battery pack according to the real-time monitoring data (division accuracy ±1°). In order to improve the protection performance of the system, the mounting disc 441 near the side of the adjustment gear 51 is designed with a 45° fan-shaped clearance notch 53, and a sealing lip (thickness 1mm) of nitrile rubber is set on the edge of the notch to ensure the gear meshing (contact coefficient 1.2-1.4) while providing IP54 dustproof effect (seal ring compression rate 15-20%).

[0042] The mechanical operating system design of the operating mounting plate 44 also includes a quick switching mechanism. The edges of the two mounting discs 441 are connected with a protruding connection block 443 through high-strength bolts (strength grade 8.8). The protruding connection block 443 is designed with a precision positioning groove for fixing the wire rope, and the high-strength pulling rope 444 is connected through a special ferrule. The guide system of the pulling rope 444 adopts a guide wheel group supported by a sealed bearing (6000-2RS) to ensure smooth transmission and extend the service life. When the manual control solution is selected, the pulling rope 444 is connected to the starting operating component of the front part of the vehicle; when the electric control solution is adopted, a small servo motor (torque 0.2-0.4N•m) can be configured to achieve automatic control, and the system response time is ≤200ms.

[0043] The peripheral wall structure design of the adjustment disk 421 integrates the power supply control function. The connection area 71 is evenly spaced every 45° along the circumference of the disk, and is made of a highly conductive composite material. The options include: gold-plated copper alloy (conductivity ≥ 90% IACS), doped silicon-based materials (resistivity ≤ 0.01 Ω•cm) or graphene composite materials (surface resistance < 0.1 Ω). This system uses a gold-plated copper alloy with a purity of ≥ 99.9% (plating thickness 3-5μm). The peripheral wall of the adjustment disk 421 is equipped with two sets of electrical connection devices, including an electrical connection wire 61 with a specification of 16mm² and an electrical contact block 62 made of a silver-plated copper alloy (purity ≥ 99.9%). One group is responsible for connecting the motor and sensor system at the rear of the vehicle, and the other group is connected to the low-power equipment at the front of the vehicle (such as an LCD display, power consumption ≤ 2W). By precisely controlling the rotation of the adjusting disk 421 (angle error ≤±1°), reliable contact (contact resistance ≤0.2mΩ) or disconnection between the connecting area 71 and the electrical contact block 62 is achieved. When the system needs to be temporarily powered off, the non-conductive area can be aligned with the electrical contact block 62, effectively reducing the standby power consumption (≤0.1W).

[0044] The outer peripheral wall of the adjustment disc 421 also integrates an innovative power-off friction zone 72 design, which is staggered with the connection zone 71. The power-off friction zone 72 is made of tungsten carbide matrix material (hardness HRA90), and the surface is processed with special fine grooves (depth 0.1mm, spacing 0.5mm) to form a third friction surface 721, which can effectively remove oxides and deposits (thickness ≤ 0.05mm) on the surface of the electrical contact block 62. To ensure contact reliability, the electrical contact block 62 is gold-plated (thickness 2-3μm) and flexibly connected to the electrical connection line 61 through an elastic member 63 (elastic coefficient 10N / mm), and the elastic pressure is controlled at 2-3N to ensure stable contact resistance. All electrical connection lines 61 of the system adopt a partition wiring design and are installed in a placement shell 80 with a flame retardant grade of V0. The arc-shaped notch 81 of the placement shell 80 and the installation disc 441 adopt an interference fit (interference amount 0.1-0.2mm) to achieve an IP54 protection level. In addition, the monitoring system's electrical conductive wire 90 (cross-sectional area 2.5mm²) also adopts the same protection scheme. The core functional components of the system are protected by a 2mm thick PC / ABS protective baffle 45 (flame retardant grade V0), which is fixed to the connecting frame 30 by 4 M4 bolts and adopts a through-hole design with a plum blossom arrangement (aperture 12mm, spacing 30mm) or a 120° fan-shaped opening (radius 25mm) to ensure wiring convenience.

[0045] The battery switching and fouling cleaning process of this system is as follows: Basic operation process: 1. Startup process: In manual control: operate the start operating component of the front part of the vehicle, and pull the pull rope 444 (stroke 15-20mm) to drive the two mounting discs 441 to rotate synchronously In automatic control: the control system drives the servo motor to achieve precise synchronous rotation of the two mounting discs 441 2. Contact establishment: The connecting contact head 41 slides into the corresponding connecting hole 4312 and the connecting hole 4411 at a speed of 0.2-0.3 m / s. Positioning accuracy ≤ 0.1mm, contact pressure maintained at 0.6-0.8MPa The monitoring system collects battery status in real time through high-precision sensors: Voltage monitoring: resolution ±0.01V Current monitoring: range 0-100A, accuracy 0.5% 3. Mode switching: Manual mode: Adjust the operating components through the front of the vehicle (maximum operating torque 2N•m) Automatic mode: via stepper motor or servo motor (speed 60-120rpm) Drive the adjustment disc 421 to rotate accurately to the target position (positioning accuracy ±1°) The position contact assembly 422 forms a stable contact with the communication contact head 41 (contact resistance ≤ 0.3 mΩ).

[0046] The monitoring system uses a 32-bit microprocessor to monitor key battery parameters in real time, including voltage (10.5-14.4V), charge and discharge current (-50A to +50A), temperature (-20℃ to 60℃) and internal resistance (5-15mΩ). When abnormal conditions such as battery voltage below 10.5V, temperature above 55℃, discharge current above 45A or internal resistance mutation exceeding 30% occur, the system automatically triggers the protection mechanism. The scale cleaning process is automatically executed when the mode is switched or regularly performed according to the maintenance plan. It can effectively remove 0.02-0.05mm thick oxidation and spark corrosion scale at a pressure of 0.6-0.8MPa, ensuring that the contact resistance is always kept below 0.5mΩ and the power transmission efficiency reaches more than 99.5%. The system supports multiple working modes: standard 48V mode (four batteries in series), 36V emergency mode (three batteries in series, automatically skipping the faulty battery), 24V emergency mode (two batteries in series) and diagnostic mode for single battery performance evaluation. Each mode has a corresponding contact connection strategy to ensure reliable operation of the system under various working conditions.

[0047] A series of core technical safeguard measures are adopted in the specific design and implementation of the system. Each set of contacts is equipped with a clear polarity identification and integrated with an anti-reverse connection protection mechanism; a sufficient safety distance is maintained between the contacts to prevent the risk of short circuit; the cleaning structure design ensures that all contact positions can be covered. The switching mechanism adopts a unidirectional rotation design to avoid poor contact caused by repeated switching; an overlapping area is set during the contact transition to ensure power supply continuity; all gears are equipped with clear markings and reliable positioning structures.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific parameters involved in this system are all preferred implementation schemes and can be appropriately adjusted according to actual application requirements. For example: the battery specifications can be selected with different voltage levels according to the vehicle requirements, the contact safety distance can be adjusted accordingly based on the working voltage level, the size and pressure of the friction cleaning structure can be optimized according to the use environment, the reduction ratio and operating torque of the transmission mechanism can be adjusted based on the requirements of operation convenience, and the sampling frequency and accuracy of the monitoring system can be set according to the application scenario requirements.

[0049] This embodiment is mainly optimized for the application scenario of two-wheeled electric vehicles. On the premise of ensuring safety and reliability, all technical parameters can be reasonably adjusted to adapt to different application requirements.

The battery units are fixed under the vehicle frame through strengthened bottom brackets, and the brackets are made of aluminum alloy profiles (6063-T5), with the characteristics of light weight and high strength (bending strength ≥ 160MPa).

[0052] Optimization of the scale deposit cleaning structure: The cleaning arc section is made of nano-ceramic material (hardness HRA95), and the surface is sprayed with a molybdenum disulfide lubricating layer (thickness 2-3μm); the micro-groove depth is increased to 0.15mm, and the spacing is reduced to 0.3mm to improve the cleaning effect; an automatic lubrication system is added, and high-performance conductive grease is regularly sprayed through a micro-injection device (flow rate 0.1-0.2ml / min); Mode adjustment mechanism upgrade: The diameter of the adjustment disc is increased to 120-150mm and is made of carbon fiber composite material, which reduces weight by 30%; the gear contact combination adopts a modular design and supports 8 different battery series and parallel combinations; the drive system uses a servo motor (power 200W) with a response time of ≤100ms; a new CAN bus communication interface is added to transmit system operating parameters in real time.

[0053] Monitoring system enhancements: The voltage monitoring range is extended to 60-85V; the current monitoring accuracy is improved to 0.2%; a new battery pack energy management algorithm is added, which can dynamically adjust the discharge strategy according to load demand.

[0054] Fault warning function: Based on deep learning algorithm, it can predict possible battery abnormalities 30-50 hours in advance.

[0055] Remote monitoring function: Data can be uploaded to the cloud through the 4G module, supporting remote diagnosis and maintenance.

[0056] This system is particularly suitable for long-distance logistics and delivery scenarios. Through intelligent scheduling algorithms, it can achieve: dynamic balancing of the battery pack, extending the service life by 20-30%; automatically adjusting the output power according to road conditions, increasing the driving range by 15-25%; supporting rapid switching of emergency modes to ensure reliable completion of delivery tasks; and improving the overall system efficiency to 99.8%, reducing annual maintenance costs by 40%.
