[0058] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0059] The following refers to Figures 1 - 15 Describe an electric vehicle control system and an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an electric vehicle control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the electric vehicle control system 100 of the present invention mainly includes: a charging module 120, a drive motor 130, and a control module 140.

[0061] In an embodiment, an electric vehicle includes a plurality of battery packs, which are connected in series. The plurality of battery packs connected in series supply power to the drive system of the electric vehicle, and thus provide power for the electric vehicle. The plurality of battery packs are connected together to provide power for the vehicle, which can achieve safety redundancy of the electric vehicle, increase the capacity of the power battery system, and improve the endurance time of the vehicle.

[0062] In an embodiment, the charging module 120 is respectively connected to multiple battery packs of the electric vehicle. Specifically, the charging module 120 is respectively connected to multiple battery packs. When some of the multiple battery packs of the power battery are faulty, the remaining non-faulty battery packs can be charged through the connected charging module 120, and then continue to provide power for the vehicle. For example, when the vehicle is traveling on a highway and multiple or a single battery pack fails, the remaining non-faulty battery packs can continue to provide power for the vehicle through the connected charging module 120, which can avoid the problem that the vehicle breaks down due to the disconnection of multiple or a single battery pack during driving, resulting in the inability to provide power for the high-voltage system.

[0063] In an embodiment, the drive motor 130 is connected to multiple battery packs to drive the electric vehicle to travel, that is, to provide driving force for the electric vehicle.

[0064] In an embodiment, the control module 140 is respectively connected to multiple battery packs, the drive motor 130, and the charging module 120, and is used to isolate the faulty battery packs when some of the multiple battery packs are faulty, and control the charging module 120 and / or the drive motor 130 to charge the faulty battery packs. Specifically, when a single battery pack in the multiple battery packs of the power battery is faulty, the control module 140 can control the isolation of the faulty battery pack. Since the charging module 120 is respectively connected to multiple battery packs, the control module 140 can control the remaining non-faulty battery packs to be charged through the connected charging module 120, and then continue to provide power for the vehicle. Thus, it can be avoided that when some battery packs are faulty, the charging module 120 cannot charge the remaining non-faulty battery packs, resulting in the inability of the remaining non-faulty battery packs to provide power for the vehicle and further causing the vehicle to break down. For example, when the vehicle is traveling on a highway and some of the multiple battery packs are faulty, the remaining non-faulty battery packs can be controlled to be charged through the connected charging module 120, so as to continue to provide power for the vehicle, thereby solving the problem that when some battery packs are faulty, the other non-faulty battery packs cannot be charged and cannot work, ensuring the vehicle's endurance within a short time, reducing the risk of vehicle breakdown, improving the safety redundancy performance and reliability of the vehicle. At the same time, it reduces the safety hazards brought by vehicle breakdown during driving and improves driving safety.

[0065] Thus, in an embodiment of the present invention, when some of the multiple battery packs of an electric vehicle fail, the failed battery packs are controlled to be isolated, and the charging module and / or the drive motor are controlled to charge the non-failed battery packs. Thereby, by adjusting the circuit structure of the power system of the electric vehicle, when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs can continue to charge without being affected, thus solving the problem that when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs cannot charge and cannot work, ensuring the vehicle's endurance within a short period of time, reducing the risk of vehicle breakdown, improving the safety redundancy performance and reliability of the vehicle, and reducing the potential safety hazard during driving, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control module 140 is further configured to: when some of the multiple battery packs fail, control the failed battery packs to be isolated, and control the non-failed battery packs to supply power to the drive motor 130.

[0067] In the embodiment, when some of the multiple battery packs fail, the control module 140 can control the failed battery packs to be isolated and control the non-failed battery packs to supply power to the drive motor 130, so as to ensure that the vehicle can continue to drive, avoid vehicle breakdown, and improve the vehicle's endurance and reliability. Specifically, the multiple battery packs are connected in series, and the control module 140 is respectively connected to the multiple battery packs. When some battery packs fail, the control module 140 isolates the failed battery packs and controls the non-failed battery packs to supply power to the drive motor 130, so that the drive motor 130 can continue to provide driving force for the vehicle, and further continue to drive the electric vehicle, thus avoiding the problem of vehicle breakdown caused by the disconnection of some battery packs during driving. When some battery packs fail, the failed battery packs are isolated to ensure the normal operation of the remaining non-failed battery packs, and the vehicle's endurance problem within a short period of time can be solved.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control module 140 is further configured to: when none of the multiple battery packs fail, control the multiple battery packs to perform charge equalization.

[0069] In the embodiment, when all the battery packs in the electric vehicle control system 100 are non-failed, that is, when all the battery packs are operating normally, the control module 140 controls the multiple battery packs to perform charge equalization. For example, there are two battery packs in the electric vehicle control system 100. When both battery packs are non-failed, if there is a situation where the charge levels of the two battery packs are inconsistent, the control module 140 can control the two battery packs to perform charge equalization, thereby increasing the service life of each battery pack.

[0070] Thus, for the above-mentioned electric vehicle control system 100, when some of the multiple battery packs fail, the failed battery packs are controlled to be isolated, and the charging module and / or the drive motor are controlled to charge the non-failed battery packs, and the non-failed battery packs can be controlled to supply power to the drive motor to provide power for the vehicle. Therefore, by adjusting the circuit structure of the power system of the electric vehicle, when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs can continue to charge without being affected, thus solving the problem that when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs cannot charge and cannot work, ensuring the vehicle's endurance within a short time, reducing the risk of vehicle breakdown, improving the safety redundancy performance and reliability of the vehicle, and reducing the potential safety hazard during driving, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the power balance between two battery packs can also be controlled, thereby increasing the service life of each battery pack.

[0071] As Figure 2 shown, it is the schematic diagram of the electric vehicle control system 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The system includes: the first battery pack U1, the second battery pack U2, the AC charging unit 150, the DC charging unit 160, the switch tube unit 170, the first pre-charging unit 180, the second pre-charging unit 190, the high-voltage electrical load Y1, and the control unit (not shown in the figure).

[0072] Among them, the negative pole of the high-voltage electrical load Y1 is connected to the positive pole of the AC charging unit 150, and the positive pole is connected to the positive pole of the DC charging unit 160 through the first contactor K1. The negative pole of the AC charging unit 150 is connected to the negative pole of the DC charging unit 160 through the second negative contactor F2. The positive pole of the first battery pack U1 is respectively connected to the positive pole of the high-voltage electrical load Y1 through the first positive contactor F3, and then connected to the positive pole of the DC charging unit 160 through the first contactor K1; the positive pole of the second battery pack U2 is connected to the positive pole of the AC charging unit 150 through the second contactor K2, and the negative pole of the second battery pack U2 is connected to the negative pole of the DC charging unit 160 through the second negative contactor F2. As Figure 2 shown, the first capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the series-connected third contactor K3 and sixth contactor K6, in parallel with the series-connected first battery pack U1 and second battery pack U2, in parallel with the switch tube unit 170, and one end of the switch tube unit 170 is connected to the control unit (not shown in the figure), and the other end is connected to the drive motor 130. The other end of the drive motor 130 is connected to the positive pole of the DC charging unit 160 through the fourth contactor K4, and the DC charging unit 160 is connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, the high-voltage electrical loads include, for example, but are not limited to, a compressor, a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor, a drive motor, and the like.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the AC charging unit 150 includes, for example, a DC / OBC (Direct Current / On-board charger).

[0075] Specifically, in the electric vehicle control system 100, the power battery is divided into two battery packs, namely, the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2. The drive system will be powered by the full voltage of the entire power battery, and other high-voltage electrical loads will be powered by a single battery pack, that is, the first battery pack U1 or the second battery pack U2, which will depend on the specific situation during vehicle startup. The midpoint of the connection line between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 is denoted as the midpoint Y3 of the power battery connection line. An N line (such as a wire or a zero line) is added between the midpoint Y3 of the power battery connection line and the midpoint Y2 of the intersection of the three-phase inductance of the drive motor 130. In Figure 2 this case, the N line is a line connecting the midpoint Y2 of the power battery connection line to the intersection point Y2 of the three-phase inductance of the drive motor 130 through the fifth contactor K5. By adding an N line, it can be ensured that when only a part of the vehicle battery pack fails, the control module 140 can quickly isolate the battery pack where the fault occurs, so as to ensure that the high-voltage electrical load Y1 continues to work. For example, when the vehicle is driving on the highway and the first battery pack U1 fails, the control module 140 quickly isolates the first battery pack U1, and the charging module 120 can continue to supply power to the second battery pack U2 without fault. At this time, the power battery of the electric vehicle will be the second battery pack U2, and the drive motor 130 can continue to drive the electric vehicle, ensuring that the high-voltage electrical load Y1 of the vehicle continues to work. If it is detected during driving that the second battery pack U2 without fault is out of power, the N line and the drive motor 130 are used to charge the second battery pack U2 without fault, which can avoid the vehicle breaking down during driving and ensure the driving safety and the battery life of the vehicle. If both battery packs, namely the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2, are intact and free of faults, but the battery levels of the two battery packs are inconsistent, the system can store energy for the vehicle through the N line and the drive motor 130, so that the battery levels of the two battery packs are balanced, thereby improving the service life of each battery pack and the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 2 shown, the electric vehicle control system 100 further includes: a second capacitor C2, and the second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel to the DC charging unit 160.

[0106] In an embodiment, in Figure 2 the second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the DC charging unit 160.

As Figure 3As shown, when the first battery pack U1 fails, connect the charging gun to the AC charging unit 150. The control unit controls the disconnection of the first positive contactor F3 of the first battery pack U1 to isolate the first battery pack U1, and controls the closure of the first negative contactor F1. The circuit is pre-charged through the second pre-charge unit 190. After the pre-charge is completed, the fault-free second battery pack U2 is charged through the AC charging unit 150, and the current flow is as Figure 3 shown by the arrow in. By adjusting the circuit structure, isolating the faulty battery pack, and charging the fault-free battery pack through the AC charging unit 150, the normal operation of the high-voltage system can be ensured.

As Figure 4 shown, when the second battery pack U2 fails, connect the charging gun to the AC charging unit 150. The control unit controls the disconnection of the first negative contactor F1 to isolate the second battery pack U2, and controls the second contactor K2 and the third contactor K3 to be in the closed state. The control unit controls the upper bridge switch unit 171 to disconnect and controls the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, so that the current of the AC charging unit 150 flows through the N line to the drive motor 130, so that the three-phase inductance of the drive motor is charged and stores energy, and the current flow is as Figure 4 shown by the arrow in. Furthermore, as combined with Figure 5 shown, the three-phase inductance in the drive motor 130 freewheels to charge the first battery pack U1, that is, the first battery pack U1 is charged through the three-phase inductance in the drive motor 130, namely the first inductance L1, the second inductance L2, and the third inductance L3, and the current flow is as Figure 5 shown by the arrow in. By adjusting the circuit structure, isolating the faulty battery pack, and charging the fault-free battery pack through the AC charging unit 150 and the drive motor 130, the normal operation of the high-voltage system can be ensured.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figures 6 - 7As shown, the control unit is used to: when the first battery pack U1 fails and the second battery pack U2 does not fail, isolate the first battery pack U1, and control the first negative contactor F1, the second negative contactor F2, the third contactor K3, and the fourth contactor K4 to close, so as to charge the second battery pack U2 through the DC charging unit 160; or, when the second battery pack U2 fails and the first battery pack U1 does not fail, isolate the second battery pack U2, control the first contactor K1, the first positive contactor F3, the third contactor K3, and the second negative contactor F2 to close, control the fourth contactor K4 to open, control the upper bridge switch unit 171 to open, and control at least one IGBT component in the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, so as to charge the first battery pack U1 through the DC charging unit 160.

[0111] In the embodiment, for the DC charging method, when the first battery pack U1 fails and the second battery pack U2 does not fail, the second battery pack U2 can be charged through the DC charging unit 160. As Figure 6 shown, connect the charging gun to the charging port of the DC charging unit 160, and the control unit controls the first positive contactor F3 to open to isolate the first battery pack U1, and controls the first negative contactor F1, the second negative contactor F2, the third contactor K3, and the fourth contactor K4 to close, so as to charge the second battery pack U2 through the DC charging unit 160, and the current flow direction is as Figure 6 shown by the arrow in. By adjusting the circuit structure, isolating the faulty battery pack and charging the fault-free battery pack through the DC charging unit 160 can ensure the normal operation of the high-voltage system.

[0112] On the other hand, when the second battery pack U2 fails and the first battery pack U1 does not fail, the first battery pack U1 can be charged through the DC charging unit 160. As Figure 7 shown, connect the charging gun to the charging port of the DC charging unit 160, and the control unit controls the first negative contactor F1 to open to isolate the second battery pack U2, and controls the first contactor K1, the second negative contactor F2, the first positive contactor F3, and the third contactor K3 to close, controls the fourth contactor K4 to open, controls the fifth contactor K5 on the N line to close. At the same time, the control unit controls the upper bridge switch unit 171 to open, that is, the first IGBT component Q1, the second IGBT component Q2, and the third IGBT component Q3 to open, and controls at least one IGBT component (i.e., the fourth IGBT component Q4 and / or the fifth IGBT component Q5 and / or the sixth IGBT component Q6) in the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close. In Figure 7In the illustrated example, when the fifth IGBT component Q5 is closed, the second inductor L2 of the drive motor 130 is pre-charged through the DC charging unit 160. After the pre-charging is completed, the fault-free first battery pack U1 can be charged, and the current flow is as shown Figure 7 by the arrows in. By adjusting the circuit structure, the faulty battery pack can be isolated, and the fault-free battery pack can be charged through the DC charging unit 160, which can ensure the normal operation of the high-voltage system.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in combination with Figures 8 - 9 When the first battery pack U1 fails, the control unit is used to: isolate the first battery pack U1, control the first negative contactor F1 and the fifth contactor K5 to close, so as to supply power to the drive motor 130 through the second battery pack U2; or, when the second battery pack U2 fails, isolate the second battery pack U2, and control the first positive contactor F3 and the sixth contactor K6 to close, so as to supply power to the drive motor 130 through the first battery pack U1.

[0114] In the embodiment, when the first battery pack U1 fails, the second battery pack U2 can continue to supply power to the drive motor 130 to drive the electric vehicle to continue running. As shown in Figure 8 The arrows indicate the schematic current direction. When the first battery pack U1 fails, the control unit controls the first positive contactor F3 to disconnect to isolate the first battery pack U1, and controls the first negative contactor F1 and the fifth contactor K5 to close, so that the drive motor 130 can be supplied with power through the second battery pack U2, enabling the vehicle to continue running, avoiding the problem of vehicle breakdown, and ensuring the battery life of the battery pack.

[0115] On the other hand, when the second battery pack U2 fails, the first battery pack U1 can continue to supply power to the high-voltage system to drive the electric vehicle to continue running. As shown in Figure 9 The arrows indicate the schematic current direction. When the second battery pack U2 fails, the control unit controls the first negative contactor F1 to disconnect to isolate the second battery pack U2, and controls the first positive contactor F3 and the sixth contactor K6 to close, so that the drive motor 130 can be supplied with power through the first battery pack U1, enabling the vehicle to continue running, avoiding the problem of vehicle breakdown, and ensuring the battery life of the battery pack.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 8 The control unit is used to: control the first positive contactor F3 to disconnect to isolate the first battery pack U1. That is, the control unit can control the on / off state of the first positive contactor F3 and isolate the faulty first battery pack U1.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the control unit is used to: control the first negative contactor F1 to disconnect to isolate the second battery pack U2. That is, the control unit can control the on-off state of the first negative contactor F1, and isolate the faulty second battery pack U2 by controlling the first negative contactor F1.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit is used to: when neither the first battery pack U1 nor the second battery pack U2 is faulty, control the battery pack with the higher power among the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 to charge the battery pack with the lower power, so as to achieve power balance.

[0119] In the embodiment, if neither of the two battery packs, that is, the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2, is faulty, but the powers of the two battery packs are inconsistent, the system can store energy for the vehicle through the N line and the drive motor 130, that is, control the battery pack with the higher power among the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 to charge the battery pack with the lower power, so that the powers of the two battery packs achieve power balance among the batteries, thereby improving the service life of each battery pack and the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the control unit is used to: when the power of the second battery pack U2 is greater than the power of the first battery pack U1, control the first positive contactor F3 to disconnect, control the first negative contactor F1 and the third contactor K3 to close, control the upper bridge switch unit 171 to disconnect, and control the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, so as to charge the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 through the second battery pack U2; after the charging of the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 is completed, control the first positive contactor F3 and the third contactor K3 to close, control the first negative contactor F1 to disconnect, control the upper bridge switch unit 171 to close, and control the lower bridge switch unit 172 to disconnect, so as to charge the first battery pack U1 through the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3, thereby achieving power balance between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2.

[0121] In the embodiment, when the power of the second battery pack U2 is greater than the power of the first battery pack, in combination with Figure 10 , the third contactor K3 and the first negative contactor F1 on the N line can be controlled to close, and the control unit controls the upper bridge switch unit 171 to disconnect, that is, the first IGBT component Q1, the second IGBT component Q2, and the third IGBT component Q3 are disconnected, and controls the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, that is, the fourth IGBT component Q4, the fifth IGBT component Q5, and the sixth IGBT component Q6 are closed. Thus, the three-phase inductance in the drive motor 130 can be charged and stored energy through the second battery pack U2, and its current flow direction is as shown by the arrow in Figure 10 And then, in combination withFigure 11 As shown, it shows the charging process of the three-phase inductance freewheeling in the drive motor 130 to the first battery pack U1, that is, the electrical energy stored in the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 is used to charge the first battery pack U1, and its current flow direction is as Figure 11 shown by the arrows in. Thus, the first battery pack U1 can charge the second battery pack U2, thereby achieving the charge balance between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2. Through multiple charge and discharge processes of the three-phase inductance in the drive motor 130, the charge balance between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 can be achieved. Thus, when the charges of the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 are inconsistent, the charge balance is achieved between the battery packs, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the battery packs.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the control unit is used for: when the charge of the first battery pack U1 is greater than the charge of the second battery pack U2, controlling the first positive contactor F3, the first contactor K1, the fourth contactor K4, and the sixth contactor K6 to close, controlling the first negative contactor F1 to open, controlling the upper bridge switch unit 171 to open, and controlling the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, so as to charge the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 through the first battery pack U1; after the charging of the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 is completed, controlling the first positive contactor F3 to open, controlling the first negative contactor F1, the third contactor K3, the fifth contactor K5, and the sixth contactor K6 to close, controlling the upper bridge switch unit 171 to close, and controlling the lower bridge switch unit 172 to open, so as to charge the second battery pack U2 through the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3.

[0123] In the embodiment, when the charge of the first battery pack U1 is greater than the charge of the second battery pack U2, as Figure 12 shown, it can be controlled to close the first positive contactor F3, the first contactor K1, the fourth contactor K4, and the sixth contactor K6, control the first negative contactor F1 to open, control the upper bridge switch unit 171 to open, that is, the first IGBT component Q1, the second IGBT component Q2, and the third IGBT component Q3 to open, and control the lower bridge switch unit 172 to close, that is, the fourth IGBT component Q4, the fifth IGBT component Q5, and the sixth IGBT component Q6 to close, so as to charge and store energy in the three-phase inductance in the drive motor 130 through the first battery pack U1, and its current flow direction is as Figure 12 shown by the arrows in.

[0124] As Figure 13As shown, after the charging of the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3 is completed, control the first positive contactor F3 to disconnect, control the first negative contactor F1, the third contactor K3, the fifth contactor K5, and the sixth contactor K6 to close, control the upper bridge switch unit 171 to close, that is, the first IGBT module Q1, the second IGBT module Q2, and the third IGBT module Q3 to close, and control the lower bridge switch unit 172 to disconnect, that is, the fourth IGBT module Q4, the fifth IGBT module Q5, and the sixth IGBT module Q6 to disconnect. Thus, the charging process of the three-phase inductor in the drive motor 130 for the second battery pack U2 by freewheeling is demonstrated, that is, the second battery pack U2 is charged with the electric energy stored in the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3, and its current flow direction is as Figure 13 shown by the arrow in. Thus, the second battery pack U2 can be used to charge the first battery pack U1, thereby achieving the charge balance between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2. Through multiple charge and discharge processes of the three-phase inductor in the drive motor 130, the charge balance between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 can be achieved, so that when the charges of the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 are inconsistent, the charge balance is achieved between the battery packs, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the battery packs.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 10 and Figure 14 shown, before controlling the battery pack with a higher charge in the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 to charge the battery pack with a lower charge, the control unit is further configured to: control the charging module 120 to charge the battery pack with a higher charge in the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 until the battery pack with a higher charge in the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 is fully charged, and its current flow direction is as Figure 10 shown by the arrow in.

[0126] In the embodiment, in combination with Figure 10 and Figure 14As shown, before equalizing the power levels between the battery packs, the control unit controls the first negative contactor F1 and the second contactor K2 to close, and the second battery pack U2 can be charged through the AC charging unit 150 until the second battery pack U2 is fully charged. Then, the power levels between the battery packs are equalized. That is, after the second battery pack U2 is fully charged, the third contactor K3 on the N line and the first negative contactor F1 are controlled to close, and the control unit controls the upper bridge switch unit 171 to open, that is, the first IGBT module Q1, the second IGBT module Q2, and the third IGBT module Q3 are opened, and the lower bridge switch unit 172 is controlled to close, that is, the fourth IGBT module Q4, the fifth IGBT module Q5, and the sixth IGBT module Q6 are closed. Thus, the three-phase inductors in the drive motor 130 can be charged and stored with energy through the second battery pack U2. Furthermore, the first battery pack U1 is charged with the electrical energy stored in the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, and the third inductor L3. Thus, mutual charging and discharging between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 can be achieved, thereby realizing the power level equalization between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2. Through multiple charging and discharging processes of the three-phase inductors in the drive motor 130, the power level equalization between the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 can be achieved. Thus, when the power levels of the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 are inconsistent, the power levels between the battery packs can reach equilibrium, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the battery packs. At the same time, before equalizing the power levels, the second battery pack U2 is charged, and after the second battery pack U2 is slower, the power level equalization is performed, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and effect of power level equalization.

[0127] In a specific embodiment, the power level equalization between the battery packs can also be achieved by discharging the first battery pack U1 and charging the second battery pack U2. The implementation principle is similar to the above-mentioned principle of discharging the second battery pack U2 and charging the first battery pack U1, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0128] In a specific embodiment, while the first battery pack U1 and the second battery pack U2 mutually charge and discharge to achieve power level equalization between each other, heating of each battery pack can also be achieved. Specifically, in combination with Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in the positive half cycle of the fundamental wave period, when the upper bridge switch unit 171 is closed and the lower bridge switch unit 172 is open, the first battery pack U1 discharges, and the current charges and stores energy in the three-phase inductors of the drive motor 130 through the IGBT of the upper bridge switch unit 171. When the lower bridge switch unit 172 is closed and the upper bridge switch unit 171 is open, the three-phase inductors continue to flow and charge the second battery pack U2, and form a loop through the diodes of the IGBT modules of the lower bridge switch unit 172. In combination with Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in the negative half-cycle of the fundamental wave period, when the lower bridge switch unit 172 is closed and the upper bridge switch unit 171 is open, the second battery pack U2 discharges to the three-phase inductor, forming a loop through the IGBT of the lower bridge switch unit 172. When the upper bridge switch unit 171 is closed and the lower bridge switch unit 172 is open, the three-phase inductor freewheels and charges the first battery pack U1 through the diodes of the IGBT components of the upper bridge switch unit 171. Thus, the battery packs can be heated by charging and discharging each other between the two battery packs to achieve the purpose of heating the battery packs.

[0129] Generally speaking, the electric vehicle control system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of battery packs connected in series. When some of the battery packs fail, the failed battery packs are controlled to be isolated, and the charging module and / or the drive motor are controlled to charge the non-failed battery packs, and the non-failed battery packs can be controlled to supply power to the drive motor to provide power for the vehicle. Thus, by adjusting the circuit structure of the power system of the electric vehicle, when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs can continue to charge without being affected, thereby solving the problem that when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs cannot charge and cannot work, ensuring the vehicle's endurance within a short time, reducing the risk of vehicle breakdown, improving the safety redundancy performance and reliability of the vehicle, and reducing the potential safety hazard during driving, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the power balance between the two battery packs can also be controlled, thereby increasing the service life of each battery pack.

When some of the battery packs fail, the failed battery packs are controlled to be isolated, and the charging module and / or the drive motor are controlled to charge the non-failed battery packs and the non-failed battery packs can be controlled to supply power to the drive motor to provide power for the vehicle. Thus, by adjusting the circuit structure of the power system of the electric vehicle, when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs can continue to charge without being affected, thereby solving the problem that when some battery packs fail, other non-failed battery packs cannot charge and cannot work, ensuring the vehicle's endurance within a short period of time, reducing the risk of vehicle breakdown, improving the safety redundancy performance and reliability of the vehicle, and reducing the potential safety hazard during driving, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the power balance between two battery packs can also be controlled, thereby increasing the service life of each battery pack.
