[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] New energy vehicles exported abroad need to reserve special space to arrange EVCC to be compatible with charging equipment in different countries. In related technologies, since the charging station itself has already integrated a large number of electronic components and is in a highly integrated state, the development cost of arranging EVCC inside the charging station is high and the development cycle is long.

[0027] Therefore, the present application provides a charging system for a new energy vehicle, which integrates a charging socket body and an EVCC through a charging port panel, thereby reducing the integration cost of the EVCC and shortening the development cycle.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a charging system for a new energy vehicle provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0029] Optionally, new energy vehicles include electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles.

[0030] In some embodiments, the charging system includes a charging port panel 110 , a battery management unit 120 , and a battery pack 130 .

[0031] The charging port panel 110 is integrated with a charging socket body 111 and a charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 .

[0032] In some embodiments, the output port of the charging socket body 111 is connected to the input port of the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112, the output port of the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 is connected to the input port of the battery management unit 120, and the output port of the battery management unit 120 is connected to the battery pack 130.

[0033] Optionally, the output port of the charging socket body 111 is connected to the input port of the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 through a specially designed adapter line, which has good signal transmission stability and can effectively resist external electromagnetic interference, ensuring that the international charging signal will not be distorted or lost during the transmission process. Optionally, the output port of the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 is connected to the input port of the battery management unit 120 using a high-speed data transmission interface to ensure that the converted domestic charging signal can be quickly and accurately transmitted to the battery management unit 120. Optionally, the output port of the battery management unit 120 is connected to the battery pack 130 through a high-current-carrying cable to meet the battery pack 130's demand for large current during charging.

[0034] In some embodiments, the charging socket body is used to send the international charging signal transmitted by the pin to the charging communication protocol conversion unit when the input port is engaged with the international charging device through the pin, and the international charging signal adopts the format indicated by the international charging communication protocol.

[0035] Optionally, the international charging equipment may be a charging pile, a charging gun or any possible new energy vehicle charging equipment that adopts international standards (such as European standards, American standards or Japanese standards).

[0036] Optionally, international charging communication protocols include, for example, DIN70121 protocol, ISO15118 protocol, IEC61851-1 protocol and CHAdeMO protocol.

[0037] In some embodiments, the charging communication protocol conversion unit (Electric Vehicle Communication Controller, EVCC) is used to convert the international charging signal into a domestic charging signal, and send the domestic charging signal to the battery management unit.

[0038] Among them, the domestic charging signal adopts the format indicated by the domestic charging communication protocol, and the domestic charging communication protocol is different from the international charging communication protocol.

[0039] Optionally, the domestic charging communication protocol is the GB / T 27930 protocol.

[0040] Optionally, when an international charging device is connected to the charging socket body 111, the international charging signal transmitted by its pin is transmitted to the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 through the internal circuit structure of the charging socket body 111 in the coding method indicated by the international charging communication protocol. The charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 contains a signal analysis and conversion circuit, as well as an algorithm program based on a dedicated chip. The program first decodes the international charging signal and identifies various charging parameters therein, such as voltage, current, charging mode and other information. Then, according to the domestic charging communication protocol rules pre-stored in the chip, these parameters are re-encoded to generate a domestic charging signal that conforms to the format indicated by the domestic charging communication protocol.

[0041] Optionally, the international charging signal is a power line communication signal (Power Line Communication, PLC), and the domestic charging signal is a controller area network signal (Controller Area Network, CAN).

[0042] In some embodiments, a battery management system (BMS) is used to charge the battery pack based on the domestic charging signal.

[0043] Optionally, after receiving the domestic charging signal, the battery management unit 120 will perform a secondary check on the charging parameters in the signal to ensure its accuracy and safety. After the check is passed, the battery management unit 120 will control the internal power regulation circuit according to the charging parameters and adjust the charging voltage and current output to the battery pack 130. During the charging process, the battery management unit 120 will monitor the various status parameters of the battery pack 130 in real time, including the battery terminal voltage, charging current, battery temperature, etc. Once it is detected that the status parameters of the battery pack 130 exceed the preset safety range, the battery management unit 120 will immediately take corresponding protection measures, such as reducing the charging current, stopping charging, etc., to prevent the battery pack 130 from overcharging, overheating and other safety problems.

[0044] In summary, since the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 and the charging socket body 111 are integrated on the charging port panel 110, rather than integrating the charging communication protocol conversion unit 112 inside the charging socket body 111, considering that new panels will be required for new models both internationally and domestically, on the one hand, it saves development costs and shortens the development cycle; on the other hand, it makes the layout of the entire charging system more compact and reasonable, reduces the complexity of wiring inside the system, and reduces the probability of failure.

[0055] In the DC charging scenario, the DC charging socket body 311 is used to send the international DC charging signal transmitted by the pin to the charging communication protocol conversion unit 313 when the input port is connected to the international DC charging device through the pin. The charging communication protocol conversion unit 313 is used to send the domestic DC charging signal to the battery management unit 330.

[0056] Regarding the specific manner in which the charging communication protocol conversion unit sends the domestic DC charging signal to the battery management unit, in some embodiments, the charging system also includes a high-voltage power distribution unit (PDU).

[0057] Among them, the output port of the charging communication protocol conversion unit is connected to the input port of the high-voltage distribution box, and the output port of the high-voltage distribution box is connected to the input port of the battery management unit.

[0059] In some embodiments, the high voltage distribution box 320 is used to send the domestic DC charging signal to the battery management unit 330 .

[0060] In some embodiments, the battery management unit 330 is used to enable the DC charging permission of the DC charging socket body when the charging conditions are met, and charge the battery pack 340 based on the domestic DC charging signal.

[0067] Optionally, the on-board charger unit is located in the high-voltage distribution box. For example, the charging communication protocol conversion unit 313 is used to send the domestic AC charging signal to the on-board charger unit 321 in the high-voltage distribution box 320.

[0068] In some embodiments, the onboard charger unit 321 is used to convert the domestic AC charging signal into a domestic DC charging signal; and send a charging request to the battery management unit 330 .

[0069] In some embodiments, the battery management unit 330 is configured to send a request response to the onboard charger unit 321 .

[0074] The charging system for new energy vehicles proposed in this embodiment can provide strong guarantees for convenient charging of new energy vehicles around the world in both DC charging and AC charging scenarios.

[0075] The following describes the scenario where charging is completed.

[0076] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of charging completion provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0077] The charging port panel 410 integrates a DC charging socket body 411 , an AC charging socket body 412 and a charging communication protocol conversion unit 413 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the battery management unit 430 is used to send a domestic charging end instruction to the charging communication protocol conversion unit 413 when it is detected that the battery pack 440 is in a fully charged state. The domestic charging end instruction adopts the format indicated by the domestic charging communication protocol.

[0079] In some embodiments, the charging communication protocol conversion unit 413 is used to convert the domestic charging end instruction into an international charging end instruction, the international charging end instruction adopts the format indicated by the international charging communication protocol; and send the international charging end instruction to the charging socket body.

[0080] For example, when DC charging is finished, the charging communication protocol conversion unit 413 is used to send the international DC charging end instruction to the DC charging socket body 411. When AC charging is finished, the charging communication protocol conversion unit 413 is used to send the international AC charging end instruction to the AC charging socket body 412.

[0081] In some embodiments, the charging socket body is used to send an international charging end instruction to the international charging device through a pin to instruct the international charging device to end charging.

[0082] For example, when DC charging is finished, the DC charging socket body 411 sends an international DC charging end instruction to the international DC charging device through the pins to instruct the international DC charging device to end DC charging. When AC charging is finished, the AC charging socket body 412 sends an international AC charging end instruction to the international AC charging device through the pins to instruct the international AC charging device to end AC charging.

[0083] In one possible scenario, the new energy vehicle can determine whether the EVCC has a built-in available charging communication protocol in combination with the vehicle's positioning. If the EVCC does not have a built-in charging communication protocol, the charging communication protocol required for the positioning can be obtained in advance and written.

[0084] In a possible implementation, the charging communication protocol conversion unit has a built-in communication protocol mapping table.

[0085] Among them, the communication protocol mapping table is used to characterize the correspondence between the positioning of the new energy vehicle and the charging communication protocol.

[0086] For example only, when the new energy vehicle is located in country A, the communication protocol mapping table corresponds to charging communication protocol a, where charging communication protocol a is a charging communication protocol applicable to country A.

[0087] In some embodiments, the new energy vehicle further includes a vehicle positioning unit and a network communication unit.

[0088] Among them, the vehicle positioning unit is used to obtain the real-time positioning of new energy vehicles, and the network communication unit is used to realize the communication between various modules and servers in new energy vehicles through the network. Optionally, the vehicle positioning unit equipped with new energy vehicles adopts advanced positioning technologies such as high-precision global positioning system (GPS) and Beidou satellite navigation system, which can obtain the geographical location information of new energy vehicles in real time and accurately, including longitude and latitude, altitude and other data, so as to determine the real-time positioning of new energy vehicles. The network communication unit supports a variety of network communication modes, such as 4G, 5G cellular networks and Wi-Fi, etc. Through these network communication technologies, data interaction between various modules in new energy vehicles, including charging socket body, charging communication protocol conversion unit, OBC, PDU and vehicle control system, is realized, and a stable communication link between new energy vehicles and remote servers is also established to ensure that the vehicle can receive instructions and data updates from the server in a timely manner, as well as upload its own operating status information.

[0089] In some embodiments, the charging communication protocol conversion unit is used to determine the real-time charging communication protocol corresponding to the real-time positioning from the communication protocol mapping table based on the real-time positioning of the new energy vehicle sent by the vehicle positioning unit.

[0090] In some embodiments, the charging protocol communication protocol conversion unit is used to send a communication protocol writing request to the network communication unit when the real-time charging communication protocol has not been written.

[0091] The communication protocol write request includes a protocol identifier corresponding to the real-time communication protocol. Optionally, the protocol identifier can accurately indicate the specific type and version information of the charging communication protocol that the server needs to provide.

[0092] After receiving the communication protocol write request, the network communication unit will send the request to the server through the network. After receiving the communication protocol write request, the server will search its own database according to the protocol identifier, find the corresponding charging communication protocol data, and package it into communication protocol write data, and return it to the network communication unit of the new energy vehicle through the network.

[0093] In some embodiments, the charging protocol communication protocol conversion unit is used to write data based on the communication protocol returned by the network communication unit, and write the real-time charging communication protocol.

[0094] Optionally, after receiving the communication protocol write data returned by the network communication unit, the charging communication protocol conversion unit will write the real-time charging communication protocol into its own storage module according to a specific writing process. In this way, the charging communication protocol conversion unit can efficiently and accurately convert the international charging signal according to the newly written real-time charging communication protocol during the subsequent charging process, ensuring that new energy vehicles can successfully complete charging operations in different regions.
