[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a high-voltage system is provided. The high-voltage system includes a main controller, a fault detector, a load circuit, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to the load circuit. The load circuit includes at least one load branch, with different load branches connected in parallel. Each load branch includes a high-voltage load and a pre-charge relay connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage load, and the pre-charge relay is connected to the fault detector. Both the fault detector and the power supply circuit are connected to the main controller. The main controller is used to, during the pre-charging process of the power supply circuit for each high-voltage load, detect a pre-charge fault, perform fault diagnosis on the power supply circuit, and / or control the fault detector to disconnect each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one, thereby performing fault diagnosis on each load branch.

[0047] The load circuit refers to the high-voltage load circuit in an electric vehicle. A load circuit includes one or more load branches connected in parallel. Figure 1 Only three load branches are shown. The precharge relay is a relay that controls the on / off state of the corresponding load circuit. The main controller refers to the main control unit in the high-voltage system; the main controller can be, but is not limited to, the VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) of an electric vehicle. The troubleshooter is a device used to troubleshoot each load branch.

[0048] The aforementioned high-voltage system includes a main controller, a fault detector, a load circuit, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to the load circuit. The load circuit includes at least one load branch, with different load branches connected in parallel. Each load branch includes a high-voltage load and a pre-charge relay connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage load, and the pre-charge relay is connected to the fault detector. Both the fault detector and the power supply circuit are connected to the main controller. The main controller is used to detect a pre-charge fault during the pre-charging process of the power supply circuit for each high-voltage load, and to perform fault diagnosis on the power supply circuit, and / or control the fault detector to disconnect each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one, thereby diagnosing faults in each load branch. This application allows for fault diagnosis of each load branch one by one after a pre-charge fault, through the cooperation of the controller and the fault detector, without manual intervention. This not only saves manpower but also effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault diagnosis results.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power supply circuit includes a pre-charge circuit for pre-charging each high-voltage load. The pre-charge circuit includes a DC-DC converter and a low-voltage battery connected to the low-voltage terminal of the DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter and each load branch form a pre-charge loop. The low-voltage battery supplies power to the pre-charge loop through the DC-DC converter.

[0050] A DC-DC converter refers to a DC-DC voltage converter. Its purpose is to convert the voltage of a low-voltage battery to a high voltage to pre-charge the load branch. A DC-DC converter can be a DC / DC (Direct Current to Direct Current) module.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, the high-voltage terminal of the DC-DC converter is connected to each pre-charge relay, and the negative terminal of the DC-DC converter is connected to the negative terminal of each high-voltage load. The on / off state of each load branch can be controlled by controlling the on / off state of the pre-charge relays.

[0052] During the pre-charge phase, the DC-DC converter converts the low voltage of the low-voltage battery to a high voltage to pre-charge the load circuit. Specifically, it pre-charges the high-voltage load in the load circuit.

[0053] Optionally, in this embodiment, the low-voltage battery is also used to power low-voltage loads in the electric vehicle.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power supply circuit includes a high-voltage circuit for supplying power to each high-voltage load; the high-voltage circuit and each load branch form a high-voltage loop. The high-voltage circuit includes a power battery, a main positive relay, and a main negative relay; the positive terminal of the power battery is connected to each pre-charge relay through the main positive relay; the negative terminal of the power battery is connected to the negative terminal of each high-voltage load through the main negative relay.

[0055] The high-voltage circuit refers to the circuit used to provide high-voltage power to the load circuit, primarily powered by the power battery within the high-voltage circuit. The main positive relay is the relay located at the positive terminal of the power battery. The main negative relay is the relay located at the negative terminal of the power battery.

[0056] During operation, the main controller can control the connection and disconnection of the circuit between the power battery and the load circuit by controlling the on / off state of the main positive relay and the main negative relay.

[0057] In one embodiment, this application also provides a troubleshooting method, applied to the above-mentioned... Figure 1 The main controller in the high-voltage system, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0058] S401, during the pre-charging process of the power supply circuit in the high-voltage system for each high-voltage load, if a pre-charging fault is detected, the power supply circuit is troubleshooted, and / or the fault detector in the high-voltage system is controlled to disconnect each pre-charging relay from the corresponding high-voltage load one by one, so as to troubleshoot each load branch.

[0059] In this embodiment, the method for detecting whether a pre-charging failure has occurred is as follows: if it is detected that high voltage power-on cannot be performed, it is determined to be a pre-charging failure.

[0060] One possible implementation method for troubleshooting after detecting a pre-charge fault in this application is to troubleshoot the power supply circuit.

[0061] Another optional implementation method for troubleshooting after detecting a precharge fault in this application is to control the fault detector in the high-voltage system to disconnect each precharge relay from the corresponding high-voltage load one by one in order to troubleshoot each load branch.

[0062] Another optional implementation method for troubleshooting after detecting a precharge fault in this application is to troubleshoot the power supply circuit and disconnect each precharge relay from the corresponding high-voltage load one by one using the fault troubleshooter in the control high-voltage system, so as to troubleshoot each load branch.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fault diagnosis of the power supply circuit can be performed based on the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit. Specifically, if the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit is zero within a first preset time period, then the DC-DC converter is determined to be faulty. Conversely, if the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit is not zero within the first preset time period, then the DC-DC converter is determined not to be faulty.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fault detector in the high-voltage system disconnects each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one to troubleshoot each load branch. Specifically, based on the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit, the fault detector in the high-voltage system disconnects each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one to troubleshoot each load branch. Specifically, if the rise in the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit is greater than a preset rise in the second preset time period (this may be due to an internal short circuit in the high-voltage load or a short circuit in the connector in a certain load branch), or if the high-voltage terminal voltage is less than the preset pre-charge voltage in the third preset time period (this may be due to an internal failure in the high-voltage load of a certain load branch or an increase in internal resistance caused by water immersion in the connector, exceeding the pre-charge capacity of the DC-DC converter), then the fault detector in the high-voltage system disconnects each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one to troubleshoot each load branch. The first, second, and third preset time periods refer to pre-configured time periods, and their durations can be the same or different.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fault detector in the high-voltage system disconnects each pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one to troubleshoot each load branch. An alternative implementation involves, for each pre-charge relay, after disconnecting the pre-charge relay from its corresponding high-voltage load, detecting whether the pre-charge fault has been eliminated. If eliminated, it is determined that the load branch containing the pre-charge relay has a fault. For example, if the rise in voltage at the high-voltage end of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit exceeds a preset rise in voltage during a second preset time period, each pre-charge relay is disconnected one by one. If, after disconnecting one pre-charge relay, the rise in voltage at the high-voltage end of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit still exceeds the preset rise in voltage during the second preset time period, it is considered that the load branch containing that pre-charge relay is not faulty. The next pre-charge relay is then disconnected, and so on, until no fault occurs after disconnecting a certain pre-charge relay. In this case, it is considered that the load branch containing that pre-charge relay has a fault.

[0066] In this embodiment, during the pre-charging process of the power supply circuit in the high-voltage system for each high-voltage load, if a pre-charging fault is detected, the power supply circuit is troubleshooted, and / or the fault detector in the high-voltage system is controlled to disconnect each pre-charging relay from its corresponding high-voltage load one by one, in order to troubleshoot each load branch. When a pre-charging fault occurs, based on this application, not only can the power supply circuit be troubleshooted, but each load branch can also be troubleshooted one by one using the fault detector, without manual intervention. This not only saves manpower but also effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault troubleshooting results.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, this application also provides another optional implementation of the fault diagnosis method, including:

[0068] S501 indicates that a pre-charge fault was detected during the pre-charging process of the power supply circuit in the high-voltage system for each high-voltage load.

[0069] S502, if the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC converter in the power supply circuit is zero during the first preset time period, then it is determined that the DC converter has failed.

[0070] S503: If the high-voltage terminal voltage of the DC-DC converter in the power supply circuit is not zero within the first preset time period, it is determined that the DC-DC converter has not malfunctioned. Then execute S504.

[0071] S504 If the rise amplitude of the high voltage terminal voltage of the DC converter in the power supply circuit is greater than the preset rise amplitude during the second preset time period, or if the high voltage terminal voltage is less than the preset precharge voltage during the third preset time period, then for each precharge relay, the fault detector in the high voltage system is controlled to disconnect the connection between the precharge relay and the corresponding high voltage load, and then the precharge fault is checked to see if it has been eliminated.

[0072] If S505 is cleared, it indicates a fault in the load branch where the precharge relay is located.

[0073] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more fault diagnosis device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the high-voltage system and method described above, and will not be repeated here.
