[0002] In the application of photovoltaic robots, the significant differences in climate conditions across different regions lead to diverse demands for battery cells, including those for ambient temperature, cryogenic, and ultra-low temperature applications. Current technologies require additional software versions for each battery cell replacement due to variations in data and related controls. This makes project maintenance difficult, increases development costs and management complexity, hinders efficient product development and maintenance, and limits the flexible application of photovoltaic robots in various environments.

[0008] S2, Macro Definition Switch Operation

[0009] Each time new battery cell data is entered, the system automatically generates a corresponding macro definition switch and registers it in the program. This serves as a key element for controlling the switching of different control strategies.

[0015] In step S1, the control strategy includes a charging control strategy, a discharging control strategy, and a battery state monitoring strategy.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Figure 2 This is an example diagram of the data matrix of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0029] To illustrate the technical solution described in this invention, specific embodiments are described below.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for an adaptive photovoltaic robot BMS for various battery cells, comprising the following steps:

[0031] S1. Cell Data Entry and Strategy Generation

[0032] Design a dedicated data entry process to enter key data for different battery cells, such as charge and discharge curve data, temperature characteristic data (including changes in internal resistance and capacity decay at different temperatures), voltage platform data, and safety threshold data (such as overcharge protection voltage, over-discharge protection voltage, and overcurrent protection threshold).

[0033] Based on the entered data, a specific algorithm is used to generate a matching control strategy, which includes a charging control strategy (dynamically adjusting the charging current and voltage according to the cell status to ensure safe and efficient charging), a discharging control strategy (rationally allocating the discharge power according to the load demand and the remaining capacity of the cell), and a battery status monitoring strategy (real-time monitoring of cell voltage, temperature, current and other parameters to detect abnormalities and take protective measures in a timely manner).

[0034] S2, Macro Definition Switch Operation

[0035] Each time new battery cell data is entered, the system automatically generates a corresponding macro definition switch and registers it in the program. This serves as a key element for controlling the switching of different control strategies. When a specific battery cell needs to be used, by turning on the corresponding macro definition switch, the system can quickly call the pre-set control strategy for that battery cell, achieving seamless switching and adaptive management between different battery cells.

[0036] S3, Data Matrix Construction and Management

[0037] Constructing a multidimensional data matrix, such as Figure 2As shown, the key data and corresponding control commands of different cells under various states are stored in the matrix unit of "low temperature cell - 50% charge - temperature -10℃". For example, the appropriate charging current, discharge power limit and trigger protection threshold data under this state are stored in the matrix unit of "low temperature cell - 50% charge - temperature -10℃".

[0038] During system operation, based on real-time monitoring of cell type, charge level, and temperature parameters, the system quickly locates the corresponding unit in the data matrix, obtains and executes the corresponding control commands, and achieves precise battery management decisions to ensure the safe and stable operation of the battery under different conditions.

[0039] Example

[0040] S1. Cell Data Entry and Strategy Generation

[0041] During initial system setup or cell replacement, detailed cell data is accurately entered into the system via a specific data entry interface. For example, for a new ultra-low temperature cell, its charge-discharge curve data at low temperatures such as -40°C, -30°C, and -20°C, as well as the corresponding internal resistance changes, capacity decay data, and its standard voltage platform (e.g., 3.2V-4.0V) and safety thresholds (e.g., overcharge protection voltage 4.1V, over-discharge protection voltage 2.8V, overcurrent protection threshold 3A, etc.) are entered.

[0042] The entered data is verified and stored, serving as the basis for subsequent generation of control strategies and battery management;

[0043] S2, Macro Definition Switch Operation

[0044] When new cell data is added, the system automatically generates a corresponding macro definition switch and registers it in the program. For example, the macro definition switch for a newly added ultra-low temperature cell is named "ULTRA_LOW_TEMP_CELL_SWITCH";

[0045] When switching to cryogenic cell operating mode is required, set this macro definition switch to the "on" state in the system configuration file or operation interface. Upon system startup, the system detects the switch state change and automatically loads the cryogenic cell control strategy module to achieve cell switching.

[0046] S3, Data Matrix Construction and Management

[0047] Based on the monitored parameters, the corresponding unit is quickly located in the data matrix to obtain the appropriate control commands. For example, when the battery cell is detected to have 30% charge and a temperature of -5°C, the recommended charging current (e.g., 0.6C) and discharge power limit (e.g., 80W) for this state are found in the data matrix, and battery management operations are performed according to these commands to ensure the battery operates safely and efficiently under the current conditions.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
