Due to the lack of operation monitoring data of the high-voltage switch (such as positive relay, main negative relay, and pre-charge relay), the high-voltage distribution box 10 is currently recycled, and then whether the high-voltage switch is abnormal is analyzed manually. This way is time-consuming and laborious, and lacks preliminary abnormality positioning when the abnormality occurs. When analyzing the abnormality of the high-voltage switch, it is difficult to reproduce the abnormality again due to factors such as environment, condition, and operation mode, which affects the accuracy of the abnormality detection of the high-voltage switch.

[0162] Therefore, the application provides a detection method of a high-voltage switch. When the high-voltage switch is abnormal, the operation parameters (at least one of the voltage of the positive switch, the voltage of the main negative relay, the voltage of the pre-charge relay, the voltage of the pre-charge resistor, and the current of the high-voltage loop) of the high-voltage loop will be affected. Therefore, whether the high-voltage switch is abnormal can be determined according to the operation parameters of the high-voltage loop, and the accuracy of the abnormality detection of the high-voltage switch is improved.

[0163] The technical solutions of the application and how the technical solutions solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0164] Figure 2 Flowchart of the detection method of the high-voltage switch provided by the application Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart, the method includes the following steps. Figure 2

[0165] S101, in the case that the vehicle is in a high-voltage power-up stage, determining whether at least one relay in the high-voltage switch is abnormal according to at least one of the voltage of the positive switch, the voltage of the main negative relay, the voltage of the pre-charge relay, the voltage of the pre-charge resistor, and the current of the high-voltage loop.

[0166] The high-voltage power-up stage refers to the stage in which the vehicle is switched from the off state to the ready-to-run state.

[0167] The high-voltage switch includes a positive switch and a negative switch. The first end of the positive switch is connected to the positive pole of the power battery, and the second end of the positive switch is connected to the first end of the high-voltage electrical equipment. The first end of the negative switch is connected to the negative pole of the power battery, and the second end of the negative switch is connected to the second end of the high-voltage electrical equipment. The positive switch and the negative switch are used to control the on-off of the high-voltage loop, so as to control whether to supply power to the high-voltage electrical equipment.

[0168] ​The positive switch may include a main positive relay, a pre-charge relay, and a pre-charge resistor; the first end of the main positive relay is connected to the first end of the pre-charge relay and serves as the first end of the positive switch; the second end of the main positive relay is connected to the second end of the pre-charge resistor and serves as the second end of the positive switch, and the second end of the pre-charge relay is connected to the first end of the pre-charge resistor. The negative switch may include a main negative relay, the first end of the main negative relay serving as the first end of the negative switch, and the second end of the main negative relay serving as the second end of the negative switch.

[0169] In some optional embodiments, the high-voltage circuit includes a power battery, a high-voltage switch, and a high-voltage electrical device, and the high-voltage switch connects the power battery and the high-voltage electrical device.

[0170] For example, the rated voltage of the power battery may be 350V.

[0171] For example, the high-voltage electrical equipment may include a drive motor, an electric compressor, a DC-DC converter, an on-board charger, and the like.

[0172] The high-voltage circuit may further include a capacitor, a first end of the capacitor being connected to the second end of the positive switch, and a second end of the capacitor being connected to the second end of the negative switch.

[0173] Accordingly, when the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-up phase, the pre-charge relay and the main negative relay are closed, and the main positive relay is opened to charge the capacitor. When the voltage across the capacitor reaches the preset value of the battery voltage, the main positive relay is closed, the pre-charge relay is opened, and the vehicle is ready for the high-voltage operation phase. The preset value can be any value between 90% and 95%.

[0174] For example, the initial contact resistance of the main positive relay, the main negative relay, and the pre-charge relay may be 0.5 mΩ, and the resistance of the pre-charge resistor may be 100 Ω.

[0175] For example, the abnormality of the relay may include sticking, delayed energization, incorrect energization, non-conduction during energization, etc. Among them, delayed energization, incorrect energization, and non-conduction during energization may be referred to as abnormal energization.

[0176] In some optional embodiments, whether the main positive relay and the pre-fill relay are stuck is determined based on the current of the high-voltage circuit. It is understandable that if the main positive relay or the pre-fill relay is stuck, it will affect the current of the high-voltage circuit. For example, if the main positive relay is stuck, the current of the high-voltage circuit will be large, and if the pre-fill relay is stuck, the current of the high-voltage circuit will be small. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the main positive relay and the pre-fill relay are stuck based on the current of the high-voltage circuit during the high-voltage power-on stage.

[0177] It should be noted that, considering that the high current generated by the main positive relay sticking can damage circuit components, the main positive relay can be checked for sticking during the high-voltage power-up phase. Furthermore, to reduce the impact of the brief high current during the main positive relay sticking detection process, sticking detection can be prioritized during the high-voltage power-down phase.

[0178] In some specific embodiments, the current It1 in the high voltage circuit is greater than or equal to the first preset current I1 and less than the maximum set current I 1max In the case of (that is, I1≤It1<I 1max ), confirm that the pre-charge relay is stuck; when the current It1 of the high-voltage circuit is greater than the maximum set current I 1max In the case of (that is, I t1 >I 1max ), determine that the main positive relay is stuck; when the current It1 of the high-voltage circuit is less than the first preset current I1 (ie I t1 <I1), it is determined that the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are not adhered, so that it can be determined whether the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are adhered based on the current of the high-voltage circuit.

[0179] For example, in order to ensure the stability of the high-voltage power-on process, the main negative relay can be closed first, and then the pre-fill relay can be closed. Therefore, the current of the high-voltage circuit can be detected after the main negative relay is closed and before the pre-fill relay is closed. When the current of the high-voltage circuit is greater than or equal to the first preset current and less than the maximum set current, it is determined that the pre-fill relay is stuck; when the current of the high-voltage circuit is greater than the maximum set current, it is determined that the main positive relay is stuck; when the current of the high-voltage circuit is less than the first preset current, it is determined that the main positive relay and the pre-fill relay are not stuck. The first preset current can be determined based on the difference between the power battery voltage and the voltage across the capacitor, the capacitor, the pre-fill resistance, and the high-voltage circuit resistance, for example, it can be 0~10A, for example, 0.2A. The maximum set current can be 10A, for example. In this example, the current of the high-voltage circuit can be 1.2A, for example.

[0180] It should be noted that the main negative relay needs to be closed during the high-voltage power-on stage and the high-voltage operation stage. Therefore, it is not necessary to detect whether the main negative relay is stuck during the high-voltage power-on stage and the high-voltage operation stage.

[0181] In some specific implementations, after it is determined that the main positive relay is stuck, the main negative relay may be disconnected immediately to prevent excessive pre-charge current from damaging circuit components (eg, capacitors).

[0182] In some specific embodiments, when the first target relay is determined to be stuck, a first abnormality signal is sent to a control module (e.g., a battery management system (BMS) or a vehicle control unit (VCU)), causing the control module to control the first target relay to be closed and opened a first preset number of times. If the first target relay is determined to be stuck within a second preset number of times, a first warning message is issued. The first target relay may include a main positive relay or a pre-charge relay; closing and opening constitute a single operation; the first preset number of times can be determined based on actual conditions, and the second preset number of times can be, for example, 3 to 5.

[0183] For example, during the high-voltage power-on process, when the abnormal state of the relay sticking is detected for the first time, the system will not give a warning signal; at this time, the signal will be fed back to the control module for multiple closing and opening actions of the relay and then tested again. If the relay is detected as sticking for 3-5 consecutive times, the system will give a corresponding warning signal of relay sticking.

[0184] In some optional embodiments, whether the pre-fill relay and the main negative relay are abnormally engaged can be determined based on the current in the high-voltage circuit and the voltage of the positive switch. Abnormal engagement of the pre-fill relay or the main negative relay will affect the current in the high-voltage circuit, and abnormal engagement of the pre-fill relay will also affect the voltage of the positive switch. Therefore, based on the current in the high-voltage circuit and the voltage of the positive switch, it can be more accurately determined whether the pre-fill relay and the main negative relay are abnormally engaged.

[0185] In some optional examples, when the current of the high-voltage circuit is greater than or equal to the first preset current and less than the maximum set current within the first preset time, it is determined that the pre-charge relay and the main negative relay are normally energized; when the current of the high-voltage circuit is less than the first preset current within the first preset time, it is determined that there is a relay with abnormal energization among the pre-charge relay and the main negative relay, and then which relay among the pre-charge relay and the main negative relay is abnormally energized is determined based on the voltage of the positive pole switch.

[0186] It should be noted that the first preset time refers to a period of time after the pre-charge relay is closed. The first preset time can be determined based on the pull-in time of the relay when it leaves the factory and the pre-charge time under normal circumstances. For example, if the pull-in time is 14ms and the pre-charge time is 200ms, the first preset time can be 14+200×0.5=114ms. Multiple current values ​​of the high-voltage circuit can be measured within the first preset time. When multiple current values ​​are greater than or equal to the first preset current, it can be determined that the current of the high-voltage circuit is greater than or equal to the first preset current. The specific number of multiple current values ​​can be determined based on actual conditions.

[0187] For example, when the power-on signal of the pre-charging relay is received, the pre-charging relay is closed. The current of the high-voltage circuit can be detected within the first preset time of the closure of the pre-charging relay. If the current of the high-voltage circuit is greater than or equal to the first preset current and less than the maximum set current within the first preset time, it is determined that the pre-charging relay and the main negative relay are normally energized. If the current of the high-voltage circuit is less than the first preset current within the first preset time, it is determined that the pre-charging relay or the main negative relay is abnormally energized.

[0188] In some specific embodiments, during the first preset time, the current I t1 is less than the first preset current I1 and the voltage U of the positive switch t1 When the voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage U1 (ie I t1 <I1,U t1 ≥U1), determine that the pre-charge relay is abnormal; within the first preset time, the current I t1 is less than the first preset current I1 and the voltage U of the positive switch t1 When the voltage is less than the first preset voltage U1 (i.e. I t1 <I1,U t1 <U1), determining that the main negative relay is abnormally engaged, thereby determining that the pre-charge relay or the main negative relay is abnormally engaged based on the current of the high-voltage circuit and the voltage of the positive switch. The first preset voltage can be 300V. In this embodiment, the voltage of the positive switch can be, for example, 350V or 0V.

[0189] In some specific examples, when the current of the high-voltage circuit (for example, 0A) is less than the first preset current (for example, 0.2A) and the voltage of the positive switch is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage within the first preset time, the current of the high-voltage circuit after the first preset time determines that the pre-charge relay is delayed in closing, incorrectly closed, or not conducting when closed.

[0190] For example, when the current of the high-voltage circuit (for example, 1A) is greater than or equal to the first preset current after a first preset time, it is determined that the pre-charging relay is delayed in closing; when the current of the high-voltage circuit (for example, 0A) is less than the first preset current after a first preset time, it is determined that the pre-charging relay is not correctly closed or is not conductive when closed.

[0191] In some specific examples, when the current of the high-voltage circuit is less than the first preset current and the voltage of the positive switch is less than the first preset voltage within the first preset time, the current of the high-voltage circuit after the first preset time determines that the main negative relay is delayed in closing, incorrectly closed, or not conducting when closed.

[0192] For example, in a case where the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than or equal to the first preset current after the first preset time, it is determined that the main negative relay is delayed in being attracted; in a case where the current of the high-voltage loop is less than the first preset current after the first preset time, it is determined that the main negative relay is not correctly attracted or is not attracted to be conductive.

[0193] In a specific embodiment, in a case where the second target relay is determined to be delayed in being attracted for the first time, it is detected again whether the second target relay is delayed in being attracted, the second target relay including the pre-charge relay and / or the main negative relay; in a case where the second target relay is determined to be delayed in being attracted for a third preset number of times, a third warning information is given. The third preset number of times may, for example, be 2-10.

[0194] For example, in a high-voltage power-on process, in a case where the pre-charge (high-voltage power-on) is still successful, when the pre-charge relay and / or the main negative relay is detected to be delayed in being attracted for the first time, the system does not give a warning signal and does not perform multiple attraction operations; if the relay is detected to be delayed in being attracted for a third preset number of times (for example, an integer between 2 and 10) continuously, the system gives a corresponding abnormal state warning signal, so that excessive maintenance work caused by occasional relay delay in being attracted can be reduced.

[0195] In some optional embodiments, whether the resistance value of the pre-charge relay is abnormal can be determined according to the voltage of the pre-charge resistor and the voltage of the pre-charge relay, and whether the resistance value of the main negative relay is abnormal can be determined according to the voltage of the pre-charge resistor and the voltage U S3 of the main negative relay, so that whether the resistance value of the pre-charge relay and whether the resistance value of the main negative relay are abnormal can be determined more accurately according to the voltage of the relay in the high-voltage power-on stage.

[0196] In a specific embodiment, after the pre-charge relay is closed, in a case where the ratio of the voltage U S2 of the pre-charge relay to the voltage U R1 of the pre-charge resistor is greater than a first preset ratio P1 (i.e., U S2 / U R1 >P1), it is determined that the resistance value of the pre-charge relay is abnormal; in a case where the ratio of the voltage U S2 of the pre-charge relay to the voltage U R1 of the pre-charge resistor is less than or equal to the first preset ratio (i.e., U S2 / U R1 ≤P1), it is determined that the resistance value of the pre-charge relay is normal.

[0197] For example, in a case where the ratio of the voltage (for example, 6V) of the pre-charge relay to the voltage (for example, 30V) of the pre-charge resistor (for example, 0.2) is greater than a first preset ratio (for example, 0.1), it is determined that the resistance value of the pre-charge relay is abnormally increased.

[0198] In a specific embodiment, after the pre-charge relay is closed, before the pre-charge is completed, the voltage U S3 of the main negative relay is greater than the voltage U R1 of the pre-charge resistor, it is determined that the resistance of the main negative relay is abnormal; when the voltage U S3 of the main negative relay is less than or equal to the voltage U R1 of the pre-charge resistor, it is determined that the resistance of the main negative relay is normal. S3 R1 S3 R1

[0199] For example, the voltage of the pre-charge resistor can be obtained by calculating the difference between the voltage of the positive switch and the voltage of the pre-charge relay, or directly measuring the voltage of the pre-charge relay.

[0200] For example, the first preset ratio can be determined according to the pre-charge resistor, the capacitor and the required pre-charge completion time, for example, it can be 0.1.

[0201] In a specific embodiment, when it is determined for the first time that the resistance of the second target relay is abnormal, the resistance of the second target relay is detected again to determine whether it is abnormal, the second target relay including the pre-charge relay and / or the main negative relay; when it is determined for the third preset number of times that the resistance of the second target relay is abnormal, a second warning information is sent.

[0202] For example, in the high-voltage power-on process, when the pre-charge (high-voltage power-on) is still successful, when the relay resistance is detected to be abnormal for the first time, the system does not give a warning signal and does not perform multiple absorptions; if the relay is detected to be abnormal for the third preset number of times (for example, an integer between 2 and 10) in succession, the system gives a corresponding abnormal state warning signal, so that excessive maintenance work caused by occasional abnormal increase of the relay resistance can be reduced.

[0203] In some optional embodiments, when the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-on stage, the pre-charge relay and the main negative relay are closed, and the main positive relay is disconnected to charge the capacitor; when the voltage across the capacitor reaches a preset value (for example, 90%-95% of the battery voltage) of the battery voltage, the main positive relay is closed, the pre-charge relay is disconnected, and the vehicle is ready for the high-voltage operation stage. When the pre-charge relay is disconnected and the main positive relay is closed, if the main positive relay is abnormal, it will affect the current of the high-voltage loop. Therefore, whether the main positive relay is abnormal can be determined according to the current of the high-voltage loop.

[0204] ​​​​In a specific embodiment, in the case that the voltage across the capacitor reaches the preset value, the main positive relay is closed and the pre-charge relay is disconnected, and the current of the high-voltage loop is less than or equal to a fourth preset current within a third preset time, it is determined that the main positive relay is not properly attracted or is not attracted to it. In the case that the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than the fourth preset current within the third preset time, it is determined that the main positive relay is normally attracted. The fourth preset current may be, for example, a value close to 0, for example, 0. The third preset time may be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0205] For example, in the case that the current of the high-voltage loop is continuously equal to 0, it is determined that the main positive relay is not properly attracted or is not attracted to it; in the case that the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than 0, it is determined that the main positive relay is normally attracted.

[0206] In a specific embodiment, in the case that the third target relay is determined to be not properly attracted or not attracted to it for the first time, second abnormal information is sent to the control module to control the third target relay to be attracted and disconnected for a first preset number of times, the third target relay being at least one of the main positive relay, the main negative relay and the pre-charge relay; in the case that the third target relay is determined to be not properly attracted or not attracted to it in the third preset number of times, third warning information is issued.

[0207] For example, during the high-voltage power-on process, when the relay is first detected to be in an abnormal state of not being properly attracted or not being attracted to it, the first pre-charge fails at this time and cannot successfully power on. The system does not give a warning signal at this time, and the signal is fed back to the control module for multiple attractings of the relay. If the relay is continuously detected to be abnormal for a third preset number of times (for example, an integer between 2 and 10), the system gives a corresponding abnormal state warning signal, thereby reducing the excessive maintenance work caused by the occasional pre-charge relay not being properly attracted or not being attracted to it.

[0208] S102, in the case that the vehicle is in a high-voltage running phase, at least one relay in the high-voltage switch is determined to be abnormal according to at least one of the voltage of the positive electrode switch, the voltage of the main negative relay, and the current of the high-voltage loop.

[0209] The high-voltage running phase refers to a phase in which the high-voltage electrical equipment of the vehicle is normally powered and the vehicle can normally run and be used. In the case that the vehicle is in the high-voltage running phase, the main positive relay and the main negative relay are closed, and the pre-charge relay is disconnected.

[0210] In an optional embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the resistance of the main positive relay is abnormal based on the voltage of the positive switch and the current of the high-voltage circuit, thereby more accurately determining whether the main positive relay is abnormal based on the current of the high-voltage circuit during the high-voltage operation stage and the voltage of the positive switch.

[0211] In some specific embodiments, when the high-voltage circuit meets the first preset condition, the contact resistance R of the main positive relay is determined according to the voltage of the positive switch and the current of the high-voltage circuit. S1 ; Contact resistance R of the main positive relay S1 Greater than the first resistance threshold In the case of R S1 > ), determine the resistance of the main positive relay is abnormal; the contact resistance R S1 Less than or equal to the first resistance threshold In the case of R S1 ≤ ), confirm that the resistance of the main positive relay is normal.

[0212] For example, foreign matter on the contacts, oxidation of the contacts, etc. may cause abnormal resistance of the relay.

[0213] For example, the first resistance threshold value may be set according to the model of the relay, and is generally less than 50 mΩ.

[0214] For example, if the voltage of the positive switch is 100mV and the current of the high voltage circuit is 200A, the contact voltage R of the main positive relay is S1 =100mV / 200A=0.5mΩ. The first resistance threshold may be, for example, 10mΩ. Then, the contact resistance of the main positive relay is less than the first resistance threshold, and the resistance value of the main positive relay is normal.

[0215] In some specific embodiments, when the high-voltage circuit meets the first preset condition, the contact resistance R of the main negative relay is calculated based on the voltage of the main negative relay and the current of the high-voltage circuit. S3 ; Contact resistance R of the main negative relay S3 Greater than the first resistance threshold In the case of R S3 > ), determine the resistance of the main negative relay is abnormal; the contact resistance R S3 Less than or equal to the first resistance threshold In the case of R S3 ≤ ), confirm that the resistance of the main negative relay is normal.

[0216] For example, the voltage of the main negative relay is 3V, and the current of the high-voltage loop is 200A, the contact voltage R of the main positive relay is 3V / 200A=15mΩ. The first resistance threshold value can be 10mΩ, and the contact resistance of the main negative relay is greater than the first resistance threshold value, which determines that the resistance of the main negative relay is abnormally increased. S1

[0217] For example, the preset condition can include that the main positive relay and the main negative relay are closed, and the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than a second preset current. Considering that the contact resistance of the main positive relay or the main negative relay is usually below 0.5mΩ, when the current of the high-voltage loop is small, the voltage drop of the main positive relay or the main negative relay is small, and it is difficult to detect whether the resistance of the main positive relay or the main negative relay is abnormal. Therefore, when the current of the high-voltage loop is less than the second preset current, whether the resistance of the main positive relay or the main negative relay is abnormal is detected.

[0218] The first preset condition can also include that the high-voltage loop is abnormal. Considering that when the high-voltage loop is abnormal, the resistance of the main positive relay or the main negative relay measured at a certain current can suddenly be particularly large (for example, a sudden change from mΩ to Ω), at this time, the main positive relay or the main negative relay will have a significant voltage drop without the current being greater than the second preset current. Therefore, when the high-voltage loop is abnormal, the contact resistance of the main positive relay or the main negative relay is immediately measured without requiring the current of the high-voltage loop to be greater than the second preset current. The high-voltage loop being abnormal can be, for example, a fault of the main positive relay losing power at high voltage after pre-charging is completed.

[0219] For example, the second preset current can be set according to the sensitivity of the voltage detection module and the size of the contact resistance of the relay, and can be, for example, greater than 20A.

[0220] In a specific embodiment, when it is first determined that the resistance of the fourth target relay is abnormally increased, the resistance of the fourth target relay is detected again to determine whether the resistance of the fourth target relay is abnormally increased, the fourth target relay including the main positive relay and / or the main negative relay; when it is determined that the resistance of the fourth target relay is abnormal in a fourth preset number of times, a fourth warning information is issued; and when it is not determined that the resistance of the fourth target relay is abnormal in the fourth preset number of times, the number of times of detecting the abnormal resistance is cleared.

[0221] ​For example, when the contact resistance of the relay is detected to be in the abnormal increase state for the first time, the system does not give a warning signal, and the signal is fed back to the control module for multiple detections after the detection condition is met; if the relay is in the abnormal increase state for more than the fourth preset number of times (1 / 3N2~1 / 2N2, the result is a natural integer) in the continuous N2 detections, the system gives a warning signal that the contact resistance of the relay is abnormally increased. Otherwise, the number of abnormal increase state detections that have occurred is cleared at the N2+1th detection. N2 can be an integer between 2 and 10. The number of abnormal increase state detections is cleared for the state evaluation circuit, and all monitoring data itself is not cleared for subsequent fault analysis.

[0222] For example, if the main negative relay is detected to be in the abnormal increase state for 6 times in the continuous 10 detections, which meets the judgment condition that more than 4 times are in the abnormal increase state, the system gives a warning signal that the contact resistance of the main negative relay is abnormally increased. If the main negative relay is detected to be in the abnormal increase state for only 2 times in the continuous 10 detections, the system does not give a warning signal that the contact resistance of the main negative relay is abnormally increased. The number of abnormal increase state detections that have occurred is cleared at the 11th detection. The number of abnormal increase state detections is cleared for the state evaluation circuit, and all monitoring data itself is not cleared for subsequent fault analysis.

[0223] For example, in addition to encountering short-circuit current and other extreme situations, the contact resistance of the main positive relay and the main negative relay is not usually detected to be abnormal at the same time; when the main positive relay and the main negative relay are detected to be in the abnormal increase state for more than 5 times in the continuous 10 detections, the system gives a warning signal that the relay state detection circuit is abnormal and the contact resistance of the relay is abnormally increased.

[0224] In order to reduce the error caused by poor synchronization during the current and voltage value sampling process, it is best to directly use the signal control voltage detection module to collect the voltage and use the signal control current sensor to collect the current. In addition, during the relay switching detection process, avoid connecting additional loads to keep the current of the circuit unchanged.

[0225] S103, in the case that the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-off phase, determining whether at least one relay in the high-voltage switch is abnormal according to the current of the high-voltage circuit.

[0226] The high-voltage power-off phase refers to the phase from the high-voltage running phase of the vehicle to the complete power-off phase. In the case that the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-off phase, the main positive relay, the main negative relay and the pre-charging relay are disconnected.

[0227] In some optional embodiments, in response to the high-voltage de-energization signal, when the main positive relay and the main negative relay are disconnected, before the high-voltage discharge module is started, if the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than a third preset current, it is determined that one of the main positive relay and the pre-charging relay, and the main negative relay are stuck simultaneously, that is, the main positive relay and the main negative relay are stuck simultaneously, or the pre-charging relay and the main negative relay are stuck simultaneously; if the current of the high-voltage loop is less than or equal to the third preset current, it is determined that one of the main positive relay and the pre-charging relay, and the main negative relay are not stuck simultaneously, that is, the main positive relay and the main negative relay are not stuck simultaneously, or the pre-charging relay and the main negative relay are not stuck simultaneously, so that the abnormality of the high-voltage switch can be more accurately determined according to the current of the high-voltage loop in the high-voltage de-energization stage, and the accuracy of the abnormality detection of the high-voltage switch is improved.

[0228] For example, the high-voltage loop can further include a discharge module connected in parallel with the capacitor, and if the current of the high-voltage loop is greater than a third preset current before the discharge module is started after the main positive relay and the main negative relay are disconnected in response to the high-voltage de-energization signal, it is determined that one of the main positive relay and the pre-charging relay, and the main negative relay are stuck simultaneously. The third preset current can be a value close to 0, for example, 0.

[0229] In some optional embodiments, the high-voltage de-energization time is determined according to the time during which the current of the high-voltage loop is equal to the third preset current for the first time, and the time at which the de-energization control signal is first given in the main positive relay and the main negative relay, so that whether the relay that first receives the de-energization control signal is delayed in disconnection can be more accurately determined.

[0230] In some specific embodiments, if the high-voltage de-energization time is greater than or equal to a second preset time, it is determined that the relay that first receives the de-energization control signal is delayed in disconnection; if the high-voltage de-energization time is less than the second preset time, it is determined that the relay that first receives the de-energization control signal is normally disconnected.

[0231] For example, the relay that first receives the de-energization control signal can be the main positive relay or the main negative relay.

[0232] For example, the time when the first of the main positive relay and the main negative relay receives the power-off control signal and the time when the current of the high-voltage loop is equal to the third preset current (for example, the time when the current of the high-voltage loop is equal to 0 is first detected) can be recorded, and the time difference between the two is taken as the high-voltage power-off time. If the high-voltage power-off time (for example, 50 ms) is greater than or equal to the second preset time (for example, 10 ms), it is determined that the relay that first receives the power-off control signal is delayed in disconnection; if the high-voltage power-off time is less than the second preset time, it is determined that the relay that first receives the power-off control signal is normally disconnected.

[0233] For example, the second preset time can be determined according to the release time of the relay when it is shipped from the factory, and the second preset time is greater than the release time. Different relays have corresponding release times. If the relay that first receives the power-off control signal is the main positive relay, the second preset time can be determined according to the release time of the main positive relay. If the relay that first receives the power-off control signal is the main negative relay, the second preset time can be determined according to the release time of the main negative relay.

[0234] In a specific embodiment, in the case of determining the fifth target relay disconnection delay for the first time, it is detected again whether the fifth target relay is delayed in disconnection, the fifth target relay including the relay that first gives the power-off control signal among the main positive relay and the main negative relay; in the case of determining the fifth target relay disconnection delay for the fifth preset number of times, the fifth warning information is given.

[0235] For example, in the high-voltage power-off process, when the relay is first detected to be in the abnormal state of being delayed in disconnection, the system does not give a warning signal. If the relay is detected to be in the abnormal state of being delayed in disconnection for the subsequent continuous fifth preset number of times (for example, an integer between 2 and 10), the system gives a warning signal that the relay is delayed in disconnection. For example, if the relay is detected to be in the abnormal state of being delayed in disconnection for the subsequent continuous 5 times of normal power-off process, the system gives a warning signal that the relay is delayed in disconnection.

[0236] In some optional embodiments, in the case where the bleeder loop meets the second preset condition, whether the main positive relay and the pre-charging relay are stuck is determined according to the current of the bleeder loop, so that whether the main positive relay and the pre-charging relay are stuck can be more accurately determined. The sticking can be caused by uneven contact surface, dirt or oxide between contacts, adsorption of contact materials, etc. It can also be caused by too large current passing through the contact, causing the contact temperature to rise above the melting point of the material, causing the contact to melt and solidify together.

[0237] For example, the discharge circuit can include a power battery, a main positive relay, a main negative relay, and a discharge module connected between the main positive relay and the main negative relay. Before the discharge module is opened, the current of the high-voltage circuit can be obtained, and after the discharge module is opened, the current of the discharge circuit can be obtained.

[0238] For example, after the main positive relay and the main negative relay are disconnected, due to the existence of the capacitor, there can be a residual voltage in the high-voltage circuit. Before the residual voltage is completely discharged after the discharge module is opened, whether the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are stuck can be determined according to the current of the discharge circuit. For example, whether the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are stuck can be determined according to the current of the discharge circuit within 0-3s, for example, 50ms, after the discharge module is opened.

[0239] In some specific embodiments, in a case where the current of the discharge circuit is greater than the third preset current, it is determined that the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck, that is, there is a stuck relay in the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay; in a case where the current of the discharge circuit is less than or equal to the third preset current, it is determined that the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are not stuck, so that whether there is a stuck relay in the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay can be determined.

[0240] In some specific embodiments, the second preset condition includes that the discharge module is equivalent to ground or the main negative relay is closed. For example, in a case where the discharge module is equivalent to ground (the discharge circuit has a grounding point or an equivalent grounding point), whether the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are stuck can be determined according to the current of the discharge module; in a case where the discharge module is not equivalent to ground, even if the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck, the current of the discharge circuit is still less than or equal to the third preset current, the main negative relay can be closed, and then whether the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay are stuck can be determined according to the current of the discharge circuit.

[0241] In some specific examples, in a case where the current of the discharge circuit is greater than the third preset current, it is determined that the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck, and considering that the resistance value of the pre-charge resistor is much greater than the contact resistance of the main positive relay and the main negative relay (for example, the resistance value of the pre-charge resistor is 80Ω-200Ω, and the contact resistance of the main positive relay and the main negative relay is in the mΩ level), so whether the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck can be determined according to the voltage of the positive switch to locate the abnormal relay.

[0242] For example, when the voltage of the positive switch (e.g. 3.5 mV) is less than the second preset voltage (e.g. 20 V), it is determined that the main positive relay is stuck; when the voltage of the positive switch (e.g. 50 V) is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage (e.g. 20 V), it is determined that the pre-charge relay is stuck. It can be understood that when the main positive relay is stuck, the voltage of the positive switch is close to 0, and when the pre-charge relay is stuck, the voltage of the positive switch is greater than 0, so the voltage of the positive switch can be used to determine whether the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck.

[0243] For example, the second preset voltage can be determined according to the difference between the voltage of the power battery and the voltage across the capacitor, the high-voltage discharge speed, and the state detection time, and can be a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 60 V.

[0244] In some specific examples, when the current of the discharge loop is greater than a third preset current, it is determined that the main positive relay or the pre-charge relay is stuck, and then the current of the discharge loop can be further used to determine which of the main positive relay and the pre-charge relay is stuck. When the current of the discharge loop (e.g. 7 A) is greater than the third preset current (e.g. 0 A) and greater than or equal to a fourth preset current (e.g. 4 A), it is determined that the main positive relay is stuck; when the current of the discharge loop (e.g. 1 A) is greater than the third preset current (e.g. 0 A) and less than the fourth preset current (e.g. 4 A), it is determined that the pre-charge relay is stuck.

[0245] For example, the fourth preset current refers to a discharge current setting value, which can be determined according to the voltage of the power battery, the voltage of the capacitor, the pre-charge resistor, and the resistance of the discharge loop.

[0246] In some specific embodiments, when it is determined for the first time that the sixth target relay is stuck, a third abnormal signal is sent to the control module to control the sixth target relay to be disconnected; the sixth target relay includes the main positive relay and / or the pre-charge relay; when it is determined for the sixth preset number of times that the sixth target relay is stuck, a sixth warning information is sent.

[0247] For example, when the abnormal state of the sticking of the relay is detected for the first time in the electric process under high pressure, the system does not give a warning signal, at this time, the signal is fed back to the control module for the second disconnection of the relay, if the relay is disconnected for the sixth preset number of times (for example, it can be an integer between 2-10) in succession, the system gives a warning signal that the relay is stuck. Considering that part of the contact sticking and sintering can be disconnected by itself during multiple disconnection operations, and the relay can still work normally after disconnection, therefore, the operation can significantly reduce the impact of such phenomena on the electric vehicle. At the same time, the frequency of repairing the relay is reduced, and the spread of the influence of the relay failure is avoided. For example, if the relay is disconnected for 4 times in succession, the system gives a warning signal that the relay is stuck / sintered.

[0248] The detection method of the high-voltage switch provided in the embodiment of the application can determine whether the high-voltage switch is abnormal according to the operating parameter of the high-voltage loop when the high-voltage switch is abnormal, thereby improving the accuracy of the abnormal detection of the high-voltage switch.

[0255] The embodiment of the present application also provides a detection circuit of a high-voltage switch, as shown in the figure, the circuit can include: Figure 4 as shown in the figure, the circuit can include:

[0256] The high-voltage switch, the voltage detection module 102, the current detection module 103, and the control module 104 described above;

[0257] The high-voltage switch includes a positive switch 1011 and a negative switch 1012; the first end of the positive switch 1011 is connected to the positive pole of the power battery 30, and the second end of the positive switch 1011 is connected to the first end of the high-voltage electrical equipment; the first end of the negative switch 1012 is connected to the negative pole of the power battery 30, and the second end of the negative switch 1012 is connected to the second end of the high-voltage electrical equipment.

[0260] Accordingly, the voltage detection module 102 can detect at least one of the voltage of the positive switch 1011, the voltage of the main negative relay S3, the voltage of the pre-charge relay S2, and the voltage of the pre-charge resistor R1, and send to the control module 103. The current detection module 103 can detect the current of the high-voltage loop, and send to the control module 103. The control module 103 determines whether at least one relay in the high-voltage switch is abnormal according to at least one of the voltage of the positive switch 1011, the voltage of the main negative relay S3, the voltage of the pre-charge relay S2, the voltage of the pre-charge resistor R1, and the current of the high-voltage loop.

[0261] For example, the voltage detection module 102 can detect the voltage of the positive switch 1011, the voltage of the main negative relay S3, the voltage of the pre-charge relay S2, and the voltage of the pre-charge resistor R1 when the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-on stage, and send to the control module 103. The current detection module 103 can also detect the current of the high-voltage loop when the vehicle is in the high-voltage power-on stage, and send to the control module 103.

Accordingly, voltage detection module 102 can detect the voltage of main positive relay S1, main negative relay S3, pre-charge relay S2, and pre-charge resistor R1.

[0265] For example, the current detection module 103 may be disposed outside the voltage detection loop 1011 of the positive switch, between the capacitor 106 and the positive switch 1011 , to avoid errors caused by the internal resistance of the current detection module 103 itself.

[0266] In other specific embodiments, when the current detection module 103 uses a non-contact sensor such as a current Hall sensor, its installation position is not required to be outside the voltage detection loop of the positive switch 1011 because its own internal resistance will not introduce errors.
