[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the application more clear, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the drawings.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the application should be understood as the usual meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of the application belong. The terms "first", "second" and similar terms used in the embodiments of the application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms "include" or "contain" and similar terms mean that the elements or objects before the terms cover the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connect" and similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical connection, but can include electrical connection, whether direct or indirect. The terms "up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to represent relative positional relationship, when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0019] In the related art, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle generates electric energy by electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen in the air in a fuel cell. The electric energy is converted by a DC-DC converter and output to the high-voltage harness of the vehicle, and then output to various high-voltage loads of the vehicle, such as a power battery, a drive motor, an air conditioner compressor, and the like. However, the high-voltage electrical system has a safety risk in an emergency such as a vehicle collision. Collision can cause damage to high-voltage components or protective housings, and if the high-voltage circuit is not disconnected in time, the exposed high-voltage part can cause an electric shock risk to personnel. Therefore, ensuring that the high-voltage circuit is quickly disconnected in the event of a collision to prevent electrical injury is an important part of the design.

[0020] In the related art, as shown in a vehicle power-off protection circuit, Figure 3 the DC-DC converter 2 on the fuel cell 1 side, the input end of the DC-DC converter 2 is connected with the fuel cell 1, the output end of the DC-DC converter 2 is connected with the high-voltage load 4 through the high-voltage harness 3, the DC-DC converter 2 is internally provided with a relay 5, and the output end of the DC-DC converter 2 is also connected with the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 through the high-voltage harness 3, and the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 is connected with the power battery 7.

[0021] It should be noted that the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 can quickly disconnect the connection between the power battery 7 and the high-voltage harness 3 after receiving the collision signal. In addition, the DC-DC converter 2 on the fuel cell 1 side controls the relay 5 to disconnect the connection between the fuel cell 1 and the high-voltage harness 3 by receiving the collision signal. However, the transmission and processing of the collision signal takes a long time (hundreds of milliseconds), which may not be enough to prevent the risk of electric shock in an emergency, and if the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 is integrated inside the DC-DC converter 2, since the DC-DC converter 2 is close to the fuel cell 1, there may be a small amount of hydrogen gas permeating from the fuel cell 1 inside the DC-DC converter 2, and there is a risk of igniting the hydrogen gas when the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 inside the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch 6 ignites.

[0022] Based on the above problems, the applicant found that by monitoring the voltage change rate of the output end of the DC-DC converter in real time, when the voltage change rate meets the voltage change condition, the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, thereby quickly cutting off the connection between the fuel cell and the high-voltage circuit of the vehicle, which can reduce the time from the occurrence of the collision to the disconnection of all related high-voltage components, thereby more effectively protecting the passengers from the risk of electric shock and protecting the safety of passengers and maintenance personnel. When the voltage change rate reaches the critical condition of the risk of electric shock, the disconnection of the relay can prevent the high-voltage current from further flowing to other electrical systems of the vehicle, thereby protecting these systems from high-voltage damage.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The application provides a vehicle power-off protection method, which comprises the following steps of Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the method is executed by a vehicle controller or a data processor arranged independently of the vehicle controller, and subsequent embodiments are exemplarily illustrated by taking the data processor as an example, wherein the vehicle comprises a DC-DC converter arranged on one side of a fuel cell, an input end of the DC-DC converter is connected with the fuel cell, an output end of the DC-DC converter is connected with a high-voltage load through a high-voltage wire harness, and a relay is arranged in the DC-DC converter.

[0025] The vehicle power-off protection method comprises the following steps of

[0026] S101, monitoring a voltage change rate of an output end of the DC-DC converter in real time;

[0027] In specific implementation, the voltage change rate of the output end of the DC-DC converter refers to the change speed of the voltage with time, and by continuously monitoring the voltage change rate, an abnormal change possibly occurring in the circuit, such as a short circuit, an open circuit or other conditions causing a voltage mutation, can be detected, and the voltage change rate can be obtained by calculating the difference between two continuous voltage measurement values and dividing the time interval.

[0028] S102, disconnecting the relay in the DC-DC converter in response to the voltage change rate meeting a voltage change condition, wherein the voltage change condition is a critical condition of an electric shock risk.

[0029] In specific implementation, the voltage change condition is a critical condition of an electric shock risk, which can be a preset voltage change rate threshold value, used to determine when the vehicle is possibly in a state of a collision risk occurring to cause an electric shock risk of an in-vehicle passenger; the relay in the DC-DC converter plays a role of safely disconnecting the connection between the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle, and when the voltage change rate meets the voltage change condition (i.e., the vehicle is in a collision to cause a smoke and fire type power-off safety protection switch to rapidly disconnect the connection between the power battery and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle, at this time, a voltage mutation occurs in the circuit connected with the output end of the DC-DC converter, and the voltage change rate meets the critical condition, such as the voltage change rate being greater than or equal to a first preset voltage change rate), the relay is disconnected to rapidly disconnect the connection between the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle when the potential electric shock risk is detected, so as to avoid the high-voltage components from causing an electric shock risk to the personnel, effectively protect the safety of the in-vehicle passengers, and also protect the electrical equipment from being damaged, thereby ensuring the high safety of the vehicle in operation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the voltage change rate is monitored in real time, so that the abnormal voltage change caused by vehicle collision or other faults can be quickly detected. When the voltage change rate reaches the critical condition of electric shock risk, the relay is disconnected, thereby quickly cutting off the connection between the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle, greatly reducing the risk of electric shock when the vehicle collision accident occurs, and protecting the safety of passengers and maintenance personnel. When the voltage change rate reaches the critical condition of electric shock risk, the disconnection of the relay can prevent high-voltage current from further flowing to other electrical systems of the vehicle, thereby protecting these systems from high-voltage damage. Compared with integrating a pyrotechnic power-off safety protection switch inside the DC-DC converter to disconnect the fuel cell, this embodiment can quickly disconnect the fuel cell while avoiding the risk of igniting hydrogen in the fuel cell when the pyrotechnic power-off safety protection switch inside ignites.

[0031] The following embodiments will be described in detail based on the specific way in which the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected when the voltage change rate meets the voltage change condition.

[0032] In some embodiments, the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected in response to the voltage change rate meeting the voltage change condition, including:

[0033] The relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected in response to the voltage change rate being greater than or equal to a first preset voltage change rate.

[0034] In specific implementation, the voltage change rate refers to the speed of voltage change over time. When the voltage change rate is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage change rate (for example, the first preset voltage change rate is 2.8V / ms, i.e., a change of 42V in 15ms), it indicates that there is a load dump in the line where the DC-DC converter output terminal is located, which is caused by the disconnection of the pyrotechnic power-off safety protection switch from the connection between the power battery and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle may have a collision, and the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected to avoid the risk of electric shock.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting the first preset voltage change rate, a response can be made immediately when the voltage change rate is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage change rate, and the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected. That is, when the vehicle collides, the power battery and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle may be quickly disconnected. At this time, by disconnecting the relay inside the DC-DC converter, the fuel cell can be effectively disconnected, the risk of electric shock or electric shock can be reduced, the safety of passengers can be protected, and the safety and reliability of the vehicle in emergency situations such as collision can be effectively improved. Compared with the conventional method of triggering the relay to disconnect by the vehicle collision signal, which takes hundreds of milliseconds, this embodiment can trigger the relay to disconnect within tens of milliseconds.

[0036] The specific way of disconnecting the relay inside the DC-DC converter based on the voltage change rate meeting the voltage change condition is described in detail based on the following embodiments.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 Disconnecting the relay inside the DC-DC converter in response to the voltage change rate meeting the voltage change condition includes:

[0038] S201, in response to the voltage change rate being greater than or equal to the second preset voltage change rate and less than the first preset voltage change rate, monitoring the voltage peak-to-peak value of the DC-DC converter output end in real time;

[0039] In specific implementation, when the voltage change rate is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage change rate (for example, the second preset voltage change rate is 2V / ms) and less than the first preset voltage change rate, it indicates that the voltage change rate has not reached the critical condition, but is very close to the critical condition. In order to ensure the safety of passengers in the vehicle, avoid misjudgment in the case that the vehicle may collide but the voltage change rate is close to the critical condition, and cause the fuel cell to be unable to be disconnected in time, which causes the risk of electric shock to passengers in the vehicle, the voltage peak-to-peak value of the DC-DC converter output end is further monitored to reduce the probability of misjudgment and improve the accuracy of judging the risk of vehicle collision.

[0040] S202, in response to the voltage peak-to-peak value being greater than or equal to a preset voltage peak-to-peak value, disconnecting the relay inside the DC-DC converter.

[0041] In specific implementation, the voltage peak-to-peak value is one of the key indicators for measuring voltage stability. The voltage peak-to-peak value refers to the maximum range of voltage fluctuation within a certain time period, that is, the difference from the lowest point to the highest point. When the voltage peak-to-peak value is greater than or equal to a preset voltage peak-to-peak value (for example, the preset voltage peak-to-peak value is 1V), it indicates that there is abnormal voltage fluctuation in the line where the DC-DC converter output end is located, which may be caused by the connection between the power battery and the vehicle high-voltage loop being disconnected by the pyrotechnic power-off safety switch. Therefore, the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, thereby avoiding the risk of electric shock to personnel caused by high-voltage components, effectively protecting the safety of passengers in the vehicle, and also protecting electrical equipment from damage, ensuring the high safety of the vehicle in operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, by monitoring the voltage rate of change and the voltage peak-to-peak value, it can be more accurately judged whether there is an abnormal situation in the circuit, such as the disconnection of the power battery and the vehicle high-voltage loop caused by vehicle collision. It ensures that when the voltage rate of change can represent potential problems but has not reached the second preset voltage rate of change, the abnormality of the voltage peak-to-peak value can still be responded to, thereby avoiding misjudgment, disconnecting the fuel cell in time to avoid the risk of electric shock, and enhancing the safety of the vehicle in operation and collision.

[0043] The following embodiments are based on the situation that the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, and then the vehicle safety signal or the vehicle collision signal is received, so as to realize further control of the vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments, after the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, further comprising:

[0045] In response to receiving the vehicle safety signal, closing the relay inside the DC-DC converter;

[0046] In specific implementation, after the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, the vehicle safety signal is received, indicating that a misjudgment has been made on the vehicle collision event, at this time the relay is closed, the circuit is reconnected, the power supply is restored, and it is ensured that the vehicle can continue to operate normally under the condition of confirming the safety of the vehicle.

[0047] In response to receiving the vehicle collision signal, controlling the vehicle high-voltage power-off.

[0048] In specific implementation, when the vehicle collision signal is received, it indicates that the vehicle has indeed collided, in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle and the passengers inside, the vehicle high-voltage power-off is controlled to avoid the risk of electric shock caused by fuel cell and power battery leakage to personnel, and also to protect electrical equipment from damage.

[0049] In this embodiment, by quickly closing the relay inside the DC-DC converter to restore power supply under the condition of misjudgment, it is ensured that the vehicle can quickly resume normal operation after confirming safety. In the case of real vehicle collision, the power can be immediately turned off to reduce the potential danger after the accident, such as electric shock of passengers inside the vehicle, electrical fire or further damage to equipment.

[0050] The following embodiments are based on a detailed description of how to determine the vehicle fault that leads to misjudgment after receiving the vehicle safety signal.

[0051] In some embodiments, after receiving the vehicle safety signal, further comprising:

[0052] Obtaining the number of times of receiving a target vehicle safety signal within a historical first preset time period, wherein the target vehicle safety signal is a vehicle safety signal received when the relay is disconnected under the working condition of the fuel cell.

[0053] In a specific implementation, the target vehicle safety signal refers to a vehicle safety signal received after a relay is disconnected due to a misjudgment that a vehicle collision occurs when a fuel cell is working. The number of target vehicle safety signals received within a first preset time period (for example, the first preset time period is one month) can be used to obtain the number of misjudgments that a vehicle collision occurs within the first preset time period. The number of misjudgments that a vehicle collision occurs within the first preset time period can be used to indirectly determine whether a component in the vehicle is faulty. If the component in the vehicle is faulty, a ripple voltage may exist in a high-voltage loop of the vehicle, which can cause a misjudgment of the voltage at the output end of the DC-DC converter, and thus cause a misjudgment that a vehicle collision occurs.

[0054] In response to the number being greater than or equal to a preset number, vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user.

[0055] In a specific implementation, when the number is greater than or equal to a preset number (for example, the preset number is 3), it indicates that the vehicle frequently misjudges in the past month, and it can be determined that the component in the vehicle is faulty. Therefore, vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user to prompt the user to timely repair the vehicle.

[0056] In this embodiment, the target vehicle safety signal refers to a vehicle safety signal received after a relay is disconnected due to a misjudgment that a vehicle collision occurs when a fuel cell is in a working state. The number of target vehicle safety signals received within a first preset time period can be used to obtain the number of misjudgments that a vehicle collision occurs within the first preset time period. This can help to find a fault problem of a vehicle component that may cause a misjudgment at an early stage, so that maintenance or adjustment can be performed in advance to avoid these problems from causing more serious vehicle accidents. In addition, timely fault detection and maintenance can maintain a good running state of the vehicle and prolong the overall service life of the vehicle.

[0057] The following embodiments are used to explain how to adjust the first preset voltage change rate to avoid frequent misjudgments.

[0058] In some embodiments, after the vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user, the method further includes:

[0059] determining a first adjustment coefficient for adjusting the first preset voltage change rate according to the number, and using a product of the first adjustment coefficient and the first preset voltage change rate as an adjusted first preset voltage change rate.

[0060] The first adjustment coefficient is directly proportional to the number.

[0061] In a specific implementation, after sending the vehicle fault prompt information to the user, a first adjustment coefficient of adjusting the first preset voltage change rate is determined according to the number of target vehicle safety signals received within a historical first preset time period, and a product of the first adjustment coefficient and the first preset voltage change rate is taken as an adjusted first preset voltage change rate, so as to increase the first preset voltage change rate. Since it is determined that the vehicle frequently misjudges within the historical first preset time period, the vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user, but if misjudgment occurs again during the process of driving the vehicle to the repair shop, the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, and the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle are disconnected, which increases the driving risk of the vehicle. Therefore, appropriately increasing the first preset voltage change rate can avoid frequent misjudgment and ensure the safety of the vehicle.

[0062] Specifically, the first adjustment coefficient can be set as wherein Z1 represents the first adjustment coefficient, P represents the number, P0 represents the preset number (for example, the preset number is set to 3), and e represents a natural constant.

[0063] The first adjustment coefficient is calculated by the relationship between the number of target vehicle safety signals received within the historical first preset time period and the preset number, so as to appropriately increase the first preset voltage change rate and avoid that the adjusted first preset voltage change rate is too large, that is, even if the vehicle has a collision risk, the situation that the collision risk cannot be completely judged occurs.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first preset voltage change rate is increased to reduce the misjudgment of non-collision related voltage change as collision, avoid unnecessary disconnection of the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle due to misjudgment, and improve the continuity and stability of vehicle operation. It is ensured that the vehicle will not be suddenly powered off due to misjudgment during driving, and the safety of the vehicle and passengers is protected. At the same time, the first adjustment coefficient is determined by the relationship between the number of target vehicle safety signals received within the historical first preset time period (i.e., the number of times that the vehicle misjudges a collision accident) and the preset number, so as to accurately increase the first preset voltage change rate, which can avoid that the first preset voltage change rate is too large and the situation that the vehicle collision accident cannot be completely judged occurs.

[0065] The following embodiments are based on the following embodiments to explain in detail how to determine the vehicle fault that causes misjudgment after receiving the vehicle safety signal.

[0066] In some embodiments, after receiving the vehicle safety signal, further comprising:

[0067] Obtaining a plurality of voltage peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter within a second preset time period, and calculating the variance of the plurality of voltage peak values;

[0068] In implementation, a plurality of voltage peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter are obtained within a second preset time period (for example, the second preset time period is 10 seconds), and a variance of the plurality of voltage peak values is calculated to help identify the stability of the voltage peak values. The greater the variance, the greater the fluctuation of the voltage peak values, thereby indirectly determining whether the components in the vehicle are faulty. If the components in the vehicle are faulty, a ripple voltage may exist in the high-voltage loop of the vehicle, causing the voltage peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter to fluctuate greatly.

[0069] In response to the variance being greater than or equal to a preset variance, vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user.

[0070] In implementation, when the variance is greater than or equal to the preset variance (for example, the preset variance is set to 0.25V2), it indicates that the voltage peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter fluctuate greatly, which may be caused by a fault in the components in the vehicle, resulting in a large ripple voltage in the high-voltage loop of the vehicle, thereby causing a false judgment that the vehicle has collided. Therefore, vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user to prompt the user to timely repair the vehicle.

[0071] In this embodiment, the variance of the voltage peak values is monitored to indirectly detect abnormal conditions of the components in the vehicle. A greater variance generally means that the voltage peak values are unstable, which may be caused by a fault in some components in the vehicle, such as a power battery, a motor, or power electronic equipment. Timely detection of these problems and repair of the vehicle can avoid false judgments that the vehicle has collided and more serious vehicle damage or faults. This ensures the safe driving of the vehicle on the road.

[0072] The following embodiments are used to explain how to adjust the first preset voltage change rate to avoid frequent false judgments.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user, the method further includes:

[0074] A second adjustment coefficient of the first preset voltage change rate is determined according to the variance, and a product of the second adjustment coefficient and the first preset voltage change rate is taken as an adjusted first preset voltage change rate.

[0075] The second adjustment coefficient is directly proportional to the variance.

[0076] In a specific implementation, after sending the vehicle fault prompt information to the user, a second adjustment coefficient for adjusting the first preset voltage change rate is determined according to a variance of a plurality of voltage peak-to-peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter within a second preset time period, and a product of the second adjustment coefficient and the first preset voltage change rate is taken as an adjusted first preset voltage change rate, so as to increase the first preset voltage change rate. Since there is a large ripple voltage in the high-voltage loop of the vehicle due to the fault of the components in the vehicle, the vehicle collision is misjudged, and therefore the vehicle fault prompt information is sent to the user to prompt the user to timely repair the vehicle. However, if the misjudgment occurs again during the process of driving the vehicle to the repair shop, the relay inside the DC-DC converter is disconnected, and the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop of the vehicle are disconnected, which increases the driving risk of the vehicle. Therefore, appropriately increasing the first preset voltage change rate can avoid frequent misjudgment and ensure the safety of the vehicle.

[0077] Specifically, the second adjustment coefficient can be set as wherein Z2 represents the second adjustment coefficient, F represents the variance, F0 represents the preset variance (for example, the preset variance is set to 0.25V2), and e represents a natural constant.

[0078] The second adjustment coefficient is calculated according to the relationship between the variance of the plurality of voltage peak-to-peak values of the output end of the DC-DC converter within the second preset time period and the preset variance, so as to appropriately increase the first preset voltage change rate, and avoid that the adjusted first preset voltage change rate is too large, and the situation that the vehicle collision risk cannot be completely judged even if the vehicle is in collision risk.

[0079] In the embodiment, when the vehicle has a potential fault, the vehicle collision is misjudged. By increasing the first preset voltage change rate, the misjudgment caused by voltage fluctuation can be reduced, unnecessary vehicle emergency response (such as disconnecting the relay to disconnect the fuel cell and the high-voltage loop) can be avoided, and the continuity and stability of the vehicle operation can be improved. It is ensured that the vehicle will not be suddenly powered off due to misjudgment during driving, and the safety of the vehicle and the passengers is protected.

[0080] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to a distributed scenario, and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In this distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only execute one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present application, and the multiple devices can interact with each other to complete the method.
