[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, when receiving the discharge parameters of the energy storage device determined based on the target charging mode for charging the electrical device and the state parameters of the energy storage device sent by the charging control device, the energy storage device is controlled to discharge according to the discharge parameters, so that the charging device can charge the electrical device with the target charging parameters corresponding to the target charging mode.

[0047] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging system, including a charging device and an electrical device, wherein the charging device includes an energy storage device; The charging device is configured to determine the charging demand information of the electrical device in response to a charging event; determine the target charging mode for the charging device to charge the electrical device based on the charging demand information, wherein the target charging mode corresponds to target charging parameters; the charging device includes an energy storage device; charge the electrical device based on the target charging parameters corresponding to the target charging mode; Wherein, when the target charging mode includes the first charging mode, the target charging parameters corresponding to the first charging mode include first charging parameters, and the charging power indicated by the first charging parameters is greater than 300 kW.
[0048] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging device, including a charge and discharge circuit and a charging control device; the charging control device is used to implement the steps in the above method when executing a program.
[0049] In some embodiments, the charging device includes Energy storage module, the energy storage module includes one or more energy storage units, each energy storage unit has a first positive power supply terminal and a first negative power supply terminal, the one or more energy storage units are connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module through the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal, and the energy storage module is configured to provide a first direct current; Charging module, the charging module is connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module, the charging module is configured to be suitable for charging output based on the first direct current, the maximum charging output power of the charging module is greater than or equal to 350 kilowatts, and / or the rated charging output power of the charging module is greater than or equal to 290 kilowatts.
[0050] In some embodiments, it further includes: an input module, the input module is suitable for providing charging energy for each energy storage unit. The input module is provided to charge the energy storage unit by using the input module so as to realize the replenishment of energy for the energy storage unit.
[0051] In some embodiments, the ratio between the maximum charging output power of the charging module and the maximum output power of the input module is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15, and / or the ratio between the rated charging output power of the charging module and the rated output power of the input module is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15.
[0052] Thereby, problems such as current impact and overheating generated by the charging module due to instantaneous excessive power input can be reduced. The input module charges the energy storage module with a small power, and the energy storage module then outputs a controllable large power to the charging module. The energy storage module can flexibly adjust the output power according to the power stored in itself and the power consumption demand of the electrical equipment, so that the charging device can reasonably distribute electric energy, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, improve the cost performance of the charging device, and enable the charging device to operate smoothly when inputting small power and outputting large power.
[0053] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated output power of the input module and the rated energy of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 1 / n1, where the value range of n1 is 1 to 4.
[0054] Thereby, when inputting small power and outputting large power, the battery subunit can charge the electrical equipment at different charging rates, so as to adjust the charging rate according to the charging demand of the electrical equipment during the charging process or different charging time periods, enabling the charging device to reasonably utilize the electric energy stored in itself to charge the electrical equipment, effectively utilizing the energy stored in the charging device, improving the cost performance of the entire charging device, and improving the working stability of the charging device. During different charging processes, the charging device plays a "buffering" role between the power grid and the electrical equipment, reducing the impact of large power output on the power grid.
[0055] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated energy of the battery subunit and the rated charging output power of the charging module is greater than or equal to 1 / (n2*n3), where the value range of n2 is 94% - 99%, and the value range of n3 is 4 - 6.
[0056] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated energy of the battery subunit and the rated power of the battery subunit is less than or equal to 1 / 3, and / or the volumetric energy density of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 380 watt-hours per liter.
[0057] Thus, while ensuring the charging performance, the reliability of the charging device is also taken into account. When the rated energy of the battery subunit matches the rated charging output power of the charging module, during the charging process, the battery subunit can stably supply energy to the charging module, reducing the instability or interruption of the charging power caused by insufficient energy supply. Taking n2 = 94% and n3 = 6 as an example, the relatively large denominator requires the battery subunit to have a relatively high rated energy to match the power of the charging module. This enables the charging device to continuously and stably operate during long-term and high-power charging, reducing the probability of failures, lowering the maintenance cost, and improving the cost performance in terms of the service life of the charging device.
[0058] In some embodiments, one or more energy storage units are connected in series and / or in parallel between the second positive power terminal and the second negative power terminal of the energy storage module through the first positive power terminal and the first negative power terminal to provide a first direct current.
[0059] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes monomer cells, the monomer cells include electrolytes, the electrolytes include electrolyte salts, the electrolyte salts include lithium hexafluorophosphate, and the concentration of lithium hexafluorophosphate is in the range of 0.5 mol / L - 1.0 mol / L.
[0060] By setting the electrolyte to include lithium hexafluorophosphate with the above concentration, the battery subunit has a high ionic conductivity, thereby improving the charging rate of the charging device. Moreover, it also enables the battery subunit to have high interfacial stability and high thermal stability; lithium hexafluorophosphate has a relatively small impact on the severity of thermal runaway, enabling the battery subunit to have an appropriate severity of thermal runaway and a relatively low risk of thermal diffusion, making the charging device highly reliable when the power output is above 350 kW.
[0061] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes an organic solvent, and the organic solvent includes a carbonate solvent.
[0062] Adding carbonate solvents to the electrolyte can improve various performances of the battery subunit. For example, it can improve the charge and discharge efficiency, cycle performance, low-temperature performance, and high-voltage stability of the battery subunit.
[0063] In some embodiments, the electrolyte salt further includes a fluorosulfonylimide salt, and the concentration of the fluorosulfonylimide salt ranges from 0.2 mol / L to 0.5 mol / L.
[0064] Due to the characteristics of the fluorosulfonylimide salt having a lower viscosity and high ionic conductivity, the electrolyte including the fluorosulfonylimide salt at the above concentration is beneficial to improving the charging rate of the battery subunit, and further improving the charging rate of the charging device.
[0065] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes an organic solvent, and the organic solvent includes a chain carboxylic ester solvent. Based on the total mass of the solvent, the mass content A of the chain carboxylic ester solvent satisfies: 5% ≤ A ≤ 75%. Among them, the chain carboxylic ester solvent includes a compound with the following structure:
[0066] Among them, R 1 includes at least one of a hydrogen atom, a C1-C5 alkyl group, or a C1-C5 haloalkyl group, and R 2 includes a C1-C5 alkyl group and / or a C1-C5 haloalkyl group.
[0067] In this technical solution, the solvent includes a carboxylic ester solvent. In this way, the electrolyte can have higher ionic conductivity and relatively lower viscosity, which is beneficial to further improving the fast charging performance of the charging device, such as fast charging performance and / or supercharging performance.
[0068] In some embodiments, 40% ≤ A ≤ 75%.
[0069] Setting A to be greater than or equal to 40% and less than or equal to 75% can better achieve the purpose of fast charging of the charging device.
[0070] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes a single cell, the single cell includes a negative electrode tab, the negative electrode tab includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material, and the carbon-based material includes at least one of natural graphite and artificial graphite.
[0071] A carbon-based material using at least one of natural graphite and artificial graphite as the negative electrode active material, both of which have good electrical conductivity and a relatively high theoretical specific capacity. Natural graphite has a high crystallinity and a regular layered structure, which is beneficial to the rapid insertion and extraction of lithium ions, thereby improving the charge-discharge efficiency of the battery; artificial graphite can precisely adjust its microstructure and properties by controlling the production process, enhancing the cycle stability of the battery and extending the service life of the battery.
[0072] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8.2 μm - 13.5 μm.
[0073] Thus, this particle size range can balance the specific surface area and the tap density. A smaller particle size can provide a larger specific surface area, increase the reaction sites of lithium ions, and improve the charge-discharge rate performance of the battery; while an appropriate particle size can ensure a higher tap density, reduce the voids between the active materials, and improve the energy density of the battery, so that the battery can achieve a better balance in rate performance and energy density.
[0074] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode active material layer and a second negative electrode active material layer arranged in a stacked manner. The first negative electrode active material layer is located on the side close to the negative electrode current collector. The volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer is 9.5 μm - 18.5 μm, and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer is 7.8 μm - 14.3 μm.
[0075] When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer are within the above ranges, on the one hand, it can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance. On the other hand, the material is not prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, which can improve the stability of the material. The cooperation of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer within the above volume average particle size range is beneficial to constructing the gradient pore difference between the second negative electrode active material layer and the first negative electrode active material layer, reducing the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0076] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes a single cell, and the single cell includes a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and at least a negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material layer.

[0078] When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation. When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode sheet will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking it into account.
[0079] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes a single cell, the single cell includes a positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer at least on one side of the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material layer; When the single cell is in a 100% charged state, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.5 g / cm 3 -2.8 g / cm 3 .
[0080] When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0081] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 0.2 g / 1540.25 mm 2 -0.37 g / 1540.25 mm 2 .
[0082] When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking it into account.

[0085] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes single cell cores, the single cell cores include separator membranes, the separator membranes include base membranes with a porous structure, and the porosity of the base membranes is in the range of 20% to 70%.
[0086] When the porosity of the base membrane is within the above range, it can improve the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator membrane, reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, and thus reduce heat generation.
[0087] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, the battery subunit includes a positive electrode tab, the positive electrode tab includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate; Wherein, the lithium-containing phosphate includes phosphate particles and a coating layer, the coating layer coats at least a part of the surface of the phosphate particles, and the coating layer includes one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.

[0089] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a fast ion conductor, wherein the fast ion conductor includes a compound with the general formula Li 3-d Fe 2- d M 2d (PO 4 ) 3 , M 2 includes at least one element of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, and 0≤d≤1.
[0090] Since the fast ion conductor has a high ionic conductivity, it is beneficial to the diffusion and transmission of lithium ions. Thus, it can further improve the charging rate of the battery subunit and the fast charging performance of the charging device, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery device.

[0092] In this way, the diffusion path of lithium ions can be shortened, thereby improving the rate performance of the battery subunit, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery device.
[0093] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes a positive electrode conductive agent, and based on the total mass of the positive electrode conductive layer, the mass content of the positive electrode conductive agent is in the range of 30% - 50%.

[0175] Currently, with the rapid increase in electrical devices, problems such as slow charging and poor experience of electrical devices urgently need to be solved. In order to meet the charging requirements of electrical devices in different scenarios, various charging modes have emerged. However, there is currently no good method to determine a suitable charging mode for charging electrical devices.
[0176] Based on this, the present application provides a charging method, including: determining the charging demand information of the electrical device in response to a charging event; determining a target charging mode for the charging device to charge the electrical device based on the charging demand information, where the target charging mode corresponds to target charging parameters; the charging device includes an energy storage device; charging the electrical device based on the target charging parameters corresponding to the target charging mode; where, when the target charging mode includes a first charging mode, the target charging parameters corresponding to the first charging mode include first charging parameters, and the charging power indicated by the first charging parameters is greater than 300 kilowatts. Determining the target charging mode for the charging device to charge the electrical device based on the charging demand information of the electrical device, and then charging the electrical device based on the target charging parameters corresponding to the target charging mode. Through this method, in the case of multiple charging modes, the most suitable charging mode can be determined based on the charging demand information of the electrical device to charge the electrical device.
[0177] The charging device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used to charge devices that require fast charging / supercharging, such as electric vehicles, electric ships, and electric tools, and can also be used to charge devices that do not require fast charging / supercharging, such as electric vehicles, electric ships, and electric tools. That is to say, the charging device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can achieve charging of electrical devices with high power and low power, and has a wide range of applications.
[0178] The charging and energy storage system of the present application will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0179] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a charging device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0180] Referring to Figure 1 , the charging device 100 may include: an energy storage module 110 and a charging module 120.
[0181] The energy storage module 110 includes one or more energy storage units, namely energy storage unit A 1 ,..., energy storage unit A n-1 and energy storage unit A n (n is a positive integer). Each energy storage unit has a first positive power supply terminal (+) and a first negative power supply terminal (-). One or more energy storage units are connected to the second positive power supply terminal (+) and the second negative power supply terminal (-) of the energy storage module 110 through the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal. The energy storage module 110 is configured to provide first direct current. As an example, the energy storage unit may be an electrical box.
[0182] The charging module 120 is connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The charging module 120 is configured to be suitable for charging output based on the first direct current. The maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 350 kilowatts, and / or the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 290 kilowatts.
[0183] Specifically, the number of energy storage units can be selected and set based on actual needs. When the charging device 100 is only used for low-power charging, the energy storage unit can be set to one or a small number of several, which can meet the low-power charging application scenario at this time; when the charging device 100 is used for high-power charging, the energy storage unit can be set to multiple, which can meet the high-power and low-power charging application scenarios at this time. For example, adjusting the charging output power of the energy storage unit, the charging module or the energy storage unit and the charging module can perform high-power or low-power charging. Due to the modularization of the energy storage unit, the energy storage unit can be freely increased or decreased, can be quickly connected, and high-power charging can be realized without adding a transformer or expanding the transformer capacity.
[0184] When there is one energy storage unit, the first positive power supply terminal of the energy storage unit is connected to the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit is connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 are also connected to the charging module 120. When charging, the energy storage module 110 provides the first direct current through the energy storage unit, and the charging module 120 converts the first direct current to obtain the target direct current to charge the device to be charged. At this time, the charging device 100 can meet the low-power charging application scenario. It should be noted that the relevant parameters of the energy storage unit and the charging module 120 can be set based on the actual situation, and the charging requirements can be met through reasonable parameter configuration.
[0185] When there are multiple energy storage units, the multiple energy storage units can be connected in series, parallel or series-parallel, and are connected to the charging module 120 through the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. For example, in Figure 1Among them, energy storage units A1, ..., An-1 and An are connected in series between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 through their respective first positive power supply terminals and first negative power supply terminals. At the same time, the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 are also connected to the charging module 120. During charging, when high-power charging is required, the energy storage module 110 provides a first direct current through multiple energy storage units. This first direct current can have a relatively high power. Then, the charging module 120 converts this first direct current to obtain a target direct current for charging the device to be charged. This target direct current has a relatively high power, so that high-power charging application scenarios can be satisfied; when low-power charging is required, this first direct current can have a relatively low power, and at the same time, the target direct current has a relatively low power, so that low-power charging application scenarios can be satisfied. It should be noted that the relevant parameters of the energy storage unit and the charging module 120 can be set based on the actual situation, and reasonable parameter configuration can meet the charging requirements. When there are multiple energy storage units, the power of the energy storage module is the sum of the powers of multiple energy storage units.
[0186] Exemplarily, the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 350 kilowatts, that is, the maximum charging output power of the charging device 100 is greater than or equal to 350 kilowatts. For example, by selecting an appropriate number of energy storage units, the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 can reach 350 kilowatts, 360 kilowatts, 500 kilowatts, 800 kilowatts, 900 kilowatts, etc. It should be noted that the charging output power here refers to the maximum charging output power, and in actual charging, it can be downward compatible. For example, when the maximum charging output power is 360 kilowatts, it means that the charging device 100 can output a charging output power of 0 to 360 kilowatts to meet different charging needs.
[0187] It can be understood that there is a certain multiple relationship between the maximum charging output power and the rated charging output power of the charging module 120, such as a multiple relationship of 1.1 to 1.2. Therefore, the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 can be greater than or equal to 290 kilowatts, that is, the rated charging output power of the charging device 100 is greater than or equal to 290 kilowatts.
[0188] In actual applications, the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 can be restricted, the rated charging output power can be restricted, or both can be restricted at the same time.
[0189] In the above embodiments, by configuring a modular energy storage unit inside the charging device, or by setting a modular energy storage unit and a modular charging unit outside the charging device, that is, by setting an energy storage module and a charging module outside the charging device, the energy storage unit and the charging unit can be freely increased or decreased. When high-power charging is required, through the free and rapid access of the energy storage unit, not only can high-power charging be achieved, such as fast charging / ultra-fast charging, but also there is no need to additionally increase the transformer or expand the transformer capacity, which can reduce the transformer cost.
[0190] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the charging device 100 further includes: an input module 130, and the input module 130 is adapted to provide charging energy for each energy storage unit.
[0191] In one example, the input module 130 may be an AC-DC conversion unit. Taking the input module 130 as an AC-DC conversion unit as an example, the input module 130 can be adapted to provide charging energy for the energy storage unit. In different power usage environments, whether it is an old urban area with relatively tight power supply or a remote area sensitive to infrastructure construction costs, this charging device, by virtue of the cooperation between the input module 130 and the energy storage module 110, uses the input module 130 to adjust the power supply parameters to the energy storage module 110, so as to achieve the function of fast charging without relying on external complex power supply upgrades, enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the charging device in various scenarios.
[0192] Thus, the power grid can charge the energy storage unit through the input module 130.
[0193] In some embodiments, the maximum output power of the input module 130 is less than or equal to 150 kW, and / or the rated output power of the input module 130 is less than or equal to 125 kW.
[0194] Specifically, the input module 130 is mainly used to charge each energy storage unit in the energy storage module 110, and the charging is low-power charging. Exemplarily, the maximum output power of the input module 130 is less than or equal to 150 kW. For example, the maximum output power is 150 kW, 100 kW, 85 kW, etc. It should be noted that the output power here refers to the maximum output power, and in actual charging, it can be downward compatible. For example, when the maximum output power is 150 kW, it means that the output power of 0 to 150 kW can be used to charge each energy storage unit in the energy storage module 110.
[0195] In this example, the input module 130 has a low-power output, while the charging module 120 can have a high-power output. Therefore, the entire charging device 100 can achieve high-power output with low-power input. For example, the input terminal of the transformer is connected to the AC power grid, and the output terminal of the transformer is connected to the input module 130. When the transformer is a small-capacity transformer, due to the capacity limitation of the transformer, the maximum output power of the input module 130 will also be limited. For example, the maximum output power is 150 kW. At this time, the energy storage units in the energy storage module 110 are charged with low power. However, when the energy storage module 110 discharges to charge the device to be charged, high-power charging can be achieved based on multiple energy storage units. For example, the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is 360 kW. In this way, high-power output with low-power input is achieved, enabling the charging device to meet the high-power charging demand without additional transformer or transformer capacity expansion. Those skilled in the art can understand that the power grid generally refers to a system that can provide electricity. As an example, the power grid can be the power source of municipal electricity.
[0196] It can be understood that there is a certain multiple relationship between the maximum output power and the rated output power of the input module 130, such as a multiple relationship of 1.1 to 1.2. Therefore, the rated output power of the input module 130 can be less than or equal to 125 kW.
[0197] In practical applications, the maximum output power of the input module 130 can be limited, the rated output power can be limited, or both can be limited simultaneously.
[0198] In the above embodiment, by configuring modular energy storage units inside the charging device 100 and limiting the maximum output power and / or the rated power of the input module 130 within the above range, the charging device 100 can be flexibly connected to the power network. Specifically, since the output power of most public power grids or commercial power interfaces has certain limitations, the power setting of the input module 130 can smoothly obtain charging energy from the conventional power environment without modifying the existing power supply lines, improving the access feasibility of the charging device 100 in various power usage scenarios to facilitate the installation of the charging device 100. Moreover, high-power charging with low-power input can be achieved, enabling the charging device 100 to meet the high-power charging demand without additional transformer or transformer capacity expansion. During peak power usage periods, when multiple electrical devices are operating simultaneously, the energy storage module supplies power to multiple electrical devices, and the input module 130 stably charges the energy storage units with low power, which can effectively reduce the impact of the charging device 100 on the power grid during the charging process and contribute to maintaining the stability of the power grid.
[0199] In some embodiments, the ratio between the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 and the maximum output power of the input module 130 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15, and / or, the ratio between the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 and the rated output power of the input module 130 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15.
[0200] Specifically, the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than the maximum output power of the input module 130, that is, the ratio of the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 to the maximum output power of the input module 130 is greater than 1. For example, the ratio of the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 to the maximum output power of the input module 130 can be greater than 2, greater than 2.3, greater than 3, greater than 4, greater than 8, or greater than 12.5, etc., so as to achieve high-power output with low-power input. Exemplarily, when the ratio is 12.5, it means that the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is 12.5 times that of the maximum output power of the input module 130. Assuming that the maximum output power of the input module 130 is 40 kilowatts, then the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 500 kilowatts.
[0201] At the same time, the ratio of the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 to the maximum output power of the input module 130 is less than or equal to 15, for example, it can be 15, 12.5, 10.3, 9, 7, and 6, etc. Exemplarily, when the ratio is 6, it means that the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is 6 times that of the maximum output power of the input module 130. Assuming that the maximum output power of the input module 130 is 150 kilowatts, then the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is less than or equal to 900 kilowatts.
[0202] It should be noted that when setting the above ratio, the minimum ratio is less than or equal to the maximum ratio. For example, the ratio between the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 and the maximum output power of the input module 130 is greater than 2 and less than or equal to 15, or greater than 1 and less than or equal to 6, or greater than 6 and less than or equal to 12.5, etc., and specific settings are selected according to actual requirements.
[0203] In this way, by restricting the ratio between the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 and the maximum output power of the input module 130, it is possible to achieve high cost performance and good performance in the case of low-power input and high-power output.
[0204] It can be understood that the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 and the rated charging output power satisfy a certain multiple relationship, such as a multiple relationship of 1.1 to 1.2. At the same time, the maximum output power of the input module 130 and the rated output power satisfy a certain multiple relationship, such as a multiple relationship of 1.1 to 1.2. Therefore, the ratio between the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 and the rated output power of the input module 130 can also be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15.
[0205] In practical applications, the ratio between the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 and the maximum output power of the input module 130 may be limited, or the ratio between the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 and the rated output power of the input module 130 may be limited, or both may be limited at the same time.
[0206] In the above embodiment, by limiting the ratio of the maximum charging output power of the charging module to the maximum output power of the input module, and / or limiting the ratio of the rated charging output power of the charging module to the rated output power of the input module, on the one hand, the current shock, overheating and other problems caused by the instantaneous excessive power input of the charging module 120 can be reduced. On the other hand, the input module 130 can charge the energy storage module 110 with low power, and the energy storage module then outputs controllable high power to the charging module 120, so that low power is input to the energy storage module 110 and high power is output from the charging module 120. In addition, the energy storage module 110 can flexibly adjust the output power according to the amount of electricity stored in itself and the power demand of the electrical equipment, so that the charging device 100 can reasonably distribute the electric energy, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, improve the cost performance of the charging device 100, and enable the charging device 100 to operate smoothly when the low power input and high power output are achieved.
[0207] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated output power of the input module 130 and the rated energy of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 1 / n1, where the value range of n1 is 1-4.
[0208] Specifically, the rated energy of the battery subunit refers to the energy capacity specified during the design of the battery subunit. It represents the maximum energy value that the battery subunit can store or output under normal operating conditions, with the unit of kilowatt-hours. The rated output power of the input module 130 ≥ the rated energy of the battery subunit / n1 / 100%, where n1 can be 1, 1.4, 2, 3, 4, etc. By stipulating that the rated output power of the input module should be greater than the rated energy of the battery subunit divided by the coefficient n1, when the input power of the input module 130 is relatively small, the rated energy of the battery subunit is small, so that the input power matches the rated energy of the battery subunit, preventing the input module 130 from charging the battery subunit too slowly and affecting the use of the energy storage unit. At the same time, stipulating that the rated energy of the battery subunit is small can also mean that the volume of the battery subunit is small, making the energy storage unit occupy a small area and facilitating installation. Further realizing a small-volume energy storage unit, achieving low-power input and high-power output, and improving the user experience.
[0209] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated energy of the battery subunit and the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 1 / (n2 * n3), where the value range of n2 is 94% - 99%, and the value range of n3 is 4 - 6.
[0210] That is to say, the rated energy of the battery subunit ≥ the rated charging output power of the charging module 120 / (n2 * n3) * 100%, where n2 can be 94%, 96%, 98.5%, 99%, etc., and n3 can be 4, 5, 5.5, 6, etc. With such a setting, while ensuring the charging performance, the reliability of the charging device 100 is also taken into account. When the rated energy of the battery subunit is adapted to the rated charging output power of the charging module 120, during the charging process, the battery subunit can stably supply energy to the charging module 120, reducing the instability or interruption of the charging power caused by insufficient energy supply. Taking n2 as 94% and n3 as 6 as an example, the relatively large denominator requires the battery subunit to have a relatively high rated energy to match the power of the charging module 120. This enables the charging device 100 to continuously and stably operate during long-term and high-power charging, reducing the probability of failures, lowering the maintenance cost, thus extending the service life of the charging device 100 and improving the cost performance.
[0211] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the ratio between the rated energy of the battery subunit and the rated power of the battery subunit is less than or equal to 1 / 3, and / or, the volumetric energy density of the battery subunit is greater than 380 watt-hours per liter.
[0212] That is to say, the ratio of the rated energy to the rated power of the battery sub-unit is not greater than 1:3. Exemplarily, when the rated power of the battery sub-unit is 350 kW, the rated energy of the battery sub-unit is 58 kWh. Such a setting can improve the cost performance of the entire charging device.
[0213] The volumetric energy density of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 380 Wh / L. For example, it can be 380 Wh / L, 400 Wh / L, 600 Wh / L, 900 Wh / L, etc. It can be understood that the higher the energy density of the battery sub-unit, the smaller the corresponding volume, thus saving space, reducing construction costs, and being able to provide high-power output at the same time.
[0214] When the charging device 100 outputs at high power (the maximum charging output power of the charging module is above 350 kW), the ratio between the rated energy and the rated power of the battery sub-unit is less than or equal to 1 / 3, and / or the volumetric energy density of the battery sub-unit is greater than 380 Wh / L, making the rated energy and the rated power of the battery sub-unit match, reducing the grid fluctuations caused by the insufficient rated energy of the battery sub-unit due to high-power output and requiring power supply from the power grid, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and stability of the charging device 100. And when outputting at high power, the charging device 100 can work continuously and stably, reducing the probability of failures and the maintenance cost, thereby extending the service life of the charging device 100 and improving the cost performance.
[0215] In some embodiments, each energy storage unit includes a battery sub-unit, and the maximum discharge rate of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 4C. For example, the maximum discharge rate is greater than or equal to 5C, 6C, 7C, or 8C, etc. In this way, high-power output can be provided.
[0216] It should be noted that the above parameters can be superimposed. Exemplarily, when the maximum charging output power of the charging module 120 is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the maximum output power of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the rated power of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the rated energy of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 58 kWh, the maximum discharge rate of the battery sub-unit is greater than or equal to 4C, and the maximum output power of the input module 130 can be less than or equal to 150 kW.
[0217] It should be noted that the above-mentioned relevant parameters of the battery sub-unit are also applicable to the energy storage unit and / or the energy storage module in some cases. That is to say, in some cases, the above parameters are applicable to the energy storage unit, the energy storage module, and the battery sub-unit. Exemplarily, when the energy storage unit only includes a battery sub-unit, the relevant parameters of this battery sub-unit are also the relevant parameters of the energy storage unit. Further, when the energy storage module 110 includes one energy storage unit, the relevant parameters of this battery sub-unit are also the relevant parameters of the energy storage module 110; and so on.
[0218] It should be noted that the energy storage unit may include one or more battery sub-units, and multiple battery sub-units may be connected in series, parallel, or in series-parallel. Each battery sub-unit may be a single cell, or may be formed by connecting multiple single cells in series, parallel, or in series-parallel. Exemplarily, the single cell may include 10 to 100, and by combining the single cells, 2 to 6 battery sub-units can be obtained, and the 2 to 6 battery sub-units are connected in series and / or parallel, and through the 2 to 6 battery sub-units, the power of the energy storage unit can reach 80 kWh to 150 kWh. For example, 80 kWh can be achieved by combining 2 single cells; another example, 150 kWh can be achieved by combining 100 single cells; still another example, 90 kWh can be achieved by combining 80 single cells; and so on.
[0219] In the above embodiments, by restricting the proportional relationship between the rated energy and rated power of the battery sub-unit, the rated output power of the input module, and the rated charging output power of the charging module, etc., the entire charging device can have a high cost performance.
[0220] In some embodiments, one or more energy storage units are connected in series and / or parallel between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 through the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal to provide the first direct current.
[0221] Specifically, when there is one energy storage unit, the first positive power supply terminal of this energy storage unit is connected to the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the first negative power supply terminal of this energy storage unit is connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the first direct current is provided through this energy storage unit.
[0222] When there are multiple energy storage units, the multiple energy storage units can be connected in series, parallel, or in series and parallel. For example, referring to Figure 1 , multiple energy storage units are connected in series between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 through their own first positive power supply terminal and first negative power supply terminal; another example, referring to Figure 3, multiple energy storage units are connected in parallel between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 through their own first positive power supply terminal and first negative power supply terminal; for another example, multiple energy storage units can be connected in series first and then in parallel, or in parallel first and then in series between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The first direct current is provided after multiple energy storage units are connected in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel. The specific connection method can be selected based on the actual situation.
[0223] In the above embodiments, multiple energy storage units can be connected in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel, which can realize the free access of energy storage units to meet different charging power requirements.
[0224] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4a - 4d , each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and each energy storage unit is configured to provide a second direct current based on the electrical energy of the battery subunit.
[0225] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4a , energy storage unit A 1 includes battery subunit BAT 1 ,..., energy storage unit A n-1 includes battery subunit BAT n-1 , energy storage unit A n includes battery subunit BAT n . Each energy storage unit provides a second direct current based on the electrical energy of the battery subunit, and multiple energy storage units provide the first direct current to the charging module 120 after being connected in series and / or in parallel.
[0226] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4b , at least some of the one or more energy storage units further include a first power conversion subunit, and the first power conversion subunit is respectively connected to the corresponding battery subunit and the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit, and is configured to convert the electrical energy of the battery subunit into a second direct current; wherein, when the energy storage unit does not include the first power conversion subunit, the battery subunit is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit to provide a second direct current.
[0227] Specifically, when there is one energy storage unit, the energy storage unit further includes a first power conversion subunit to convert the electrical energy of the battery subunit into a second direct current.
[0228] When there are multiple energy storage units, a first power conversion subunit can be provided in each of the multiple energy storage units, or a first power conversion subunit can be provided in some of the multiple energy storage units. Exemplarily, in Figure 4b , energy storage unit A 1 includes battery subunit BAT1 and the first power conversion subunit B 1 , the first power conversion subunit B 1 are respectively connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the battery subunit BAT 1 and the energy storage unit A 1 . Through the first power conversion subunit B 1 , the electrical energy of the battery subunit BAT 1 is converted into second direct current electricity;...; the energy storage unit A n-1 includes the battery subunit BAT n-1 and the first power conversion subunit B n-1 . The first power conversion subunit Bn-1 is respectively connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the battery subunit BAT n-1 and the energy storage unit A n-1 . Through the first power conversion subunit B n-1 , the electrical energy of the battery subunit BAT n-1 is converted into second direct current electricity; the energy storage unit A n includes the battery subunit BAT n . The battery subunit BAT n is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A n to provide second direct current electricity.
[0229] In some embodiments, when the battery subunit discharges externally, the maximum output power of the first power conversion subunit is greater than or equal to 350 kilowatts, and / or, the rated output power is greater than or equal to 310 kilowatts. When the battery subunit is charging, the ratio of the maximum output power of the input module 130 to the maximum output power of the first power conversion subunit is not greater than 1:4, and / or, the ratio of the rated output power of the input module 130 to the rated output power of the first power conversion subunit is not greater than 1:4.
[0230] In the above embodiments, some or all of the multiple energy storage units may be provided with the first power conversion subunit. The electrical energy of the battery subunit is converted by the first power conversion subunit to provide second direct current electricity. In this way, the charging flexibility can be improved. At the same time, by partially providing the first power conversion subunit, the cost can be reduced while meeting the charging requirements. Moreover, this method can realize the access of the first power conversion subunit and the non - first power conversion subunit, with high applicability.
[0231] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4c, at least some of the one or more energy storage units further include a first switch subunit, and the first switch subunit is respectively connected to the corresponding battery subunit and the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit, and is configured to connect the corresponding battery subunit to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit when conducting, so as to provide a second direct current; wherein, in the case that the energy storage unit does not include the first switch subunit, the battery subunit is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit to provide a second direct current.
[0232] Specifically, when there is one energy storage unit, the energy storage unit further includes a first switch subunit. When the first switch subunit is conducting, the battery subunit is connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit to provide a second direct current; in abnormal situations, such as when the battery subunit or the charging module 120 is abnormal, the first switch subunit disconnects to reduce the further occurrence of abnormal accidents; when the battery subunit does not need to work, such as when the energy storage unit does not need to work based on power requirements, the first switch subunit disconnects to stop the battery subunit from providing the second direct current.
[0233] When there are multiple energy storage units, a first switch subunit can be set in each of the multiple energy storage units, or a first switch subunit can be set in some of the multiple energy storage units. Exemplarily, in Figure 4c Energy storage unit A 1 includes battery subunit BAT 1 and first switch subunit C 1 , first switch subunit C 1 is respectively connected to battery subunit BAT 1 and the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of energy storage unit A 1 , and controls the connection and disconnection of battery subunit BAT 1 with the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of energy storage unit A 1 through first switch subunit C 1 to selectively provide a second direct current;...; energy storage unit A n-1 includes battery subunit BAT n-1 and first switch subunit C n-1 , first switch subunit C n-1 is respectively connected to battery subunit BAT n-1 and the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of energy storage unit A n-1 , and controls the connection and disconnection of battery subunit BAT n-1 with the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of energy storage unit A n-1 through first switch subunit C n-1The on / off state of the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal to selectively provide a second direct current; energy storage unit A n includes a battery subunit BAT n , the battery subunit BAT n is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A n to provide a second direct current.
[0234] In the above embodiments, some or all of the multiple energy storage units may be provided with a first switch subunit to selectively control the battery subunit to provide a second direct current through the first switch subunit, so as to improve the charging flexibility and protection in abnormal situations.
[0235] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4d , at least some of the energy storage units in one or more energy storage units further include a first power conversion subunit and a first switch subunit. The first power conversion subunit and the first switch subunit are connected in series between the corresponding battery subunit and the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit. The first power conversion subunit is configured to convert the electrical energy of the battery subunit into a second direct current when the corresponding first switch subunit is turned on; wherein, when the energy storage unit does not include the first power conversion subunit and the first switch subunit, the battery subunit is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit to provide a second direct current.
[0236] Specifically, when there is one energy storage unit, the energy storage unit further includes a first power conversion subunit and a first switch subunit. When the first switch subunit is turned on, the first power conversion subunit converts the electrical energy of the battery subunit into a second direct current; in abnormal situations, such as abnormalities in the battery subunit or the charging module 120, etc., the first switch subunit is turned off and the first power conversion subunit stops working to reduce the further occurrence of abnormal accidents; when the battery subunit does not need to work, such as when the energy storage unit does not need to work based on power requirements, the first switch subunit is turned off and the first power conversion subunit stops working to stop the battery subunit from providing a second direct current.
[0237] When there are multiple energy storage units, a first switch subunit and a first power conversion subunit can be provided in each of the multiple energy storage units, or a first switch subunit and a first power conversion subunit can be provided in some of the multiple energy storage units. Exemplarily, in Figure 4d , the energy storage unit A 1 includes a battery subunit BAT 1 , a first switch subunit C 1 and a first power conversion subunit B 1 , the first switch subunit C 1and the first power conversion subunit B 1 is connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the battery subunit BAT 1 and the energy storage unit A 1 When the first switch subunit C 1 is turned on, the first power conversion subunit B 1 converts the electrical energy of the battery subunit BAT 1 into a second direct current;...; the energy storage unit A n-1 includes the battery subunit BAT n-1 , the first switch subunit C n-1 and the first power conversion subunit B n-1 . The first switch subunit C n-1 and the first power conversion subunit B n-1 are connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the battery subunit BAT n-1 and the energy storage unit A n-1 . When the first switch subunit C n-1 is turned on, the first power conversion subunit B n-1 converts the electrical energy of the battery subunit BAT n-1 into a second direct current; the energy storage unit A n includes the battery subunit BAT n . The battery subunit BAT n is directly connected to the first positive power supply terminal and the first negative power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A n to provide a second direct current.
[0238] It should be noted that in some embodiments, some of the energy storage units may include the first switch subunit, and some may include the first power conversion subunit, and specific limitations are not made here.
[0239] In the above embodiments, some or all of the multiple energy storage units may be provided with the first switch subunit and the first power conversion subunit, so as to improve the charging flexibility and the protection ability in abnormal situations.
[0240] In some embodiments, the first power conversion subunit is a bidirectional DCDC subunit, and the charging and discharging of the battery subunit are realized through the bidirectional DCDC subunit. The bidirectional DCDC subunit includes, but is not limited to, a BUCK-BOOST circuit, etc., and specific limitations are not made here.
[0241] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5a , the input module 130 includes input interfaces (X, Y). The input interfaces are connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and are configured to provide charging energy for each energy storage unit based on the third direct current provided by the first external power supply 210.
[0242] Specifically, the first external power supply 210 is used to generate a third direct current and transmit it to the energy storage module 110 through the input interface to charge each energy storage unit in the energy storage module 110. Exemplarily, the first external power supply 210 may include a first transformer and a first AC-DC conversion module. The primary winding of the first transformer is connected to the AC power grid to convert the second alternating current provided by the AC power grid into a first alternating current. The first AC-DC conversion module is respectively connected to the secondary winding of the first transformer and the input interface to convert the first alternating current into a third direct current and transmit it to the energy storage module 110 through the input interface.
[0243] The first AC-DC conversion module can be a unidirectional ACDC sub-unit or a bidirectional ACDC sub-unit. When the first AC-DC conversion module is a bidirectional ACDC sub-unit, it can not only charge the energy storage module 110, but also feed the electric energy of the energy storage module 110 to the AC power grid. The specific circuit structure of the unidirectional ACDC sub-unit or the bidirectional ACDC sub-unit is not limited here.
[0244] It should be noted that in this example, the maximum output power and the rated output power of the input module 130 are also the maximum output power and the rated output power of the first external power supply 210.
[0245] In the above embodiments, when the external power supply provides direct current, the battery sub-units can be charged through the input interface.
[0246] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5b , the input module 130 includes a second power conversion sub-unit 131. The second power conversion sub-unit 131 is connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 and is configured to provide charging energy for each energy storage unit based on the first alternating current provided by the second external power supply 220.
[0247] Specifically, the second external power supply 220 is used to generate a first alternating current and provide it to the second power conversion sub-unit 131 in the input module 130 to charge each battery sub-unit in the energy storage module 110 through the second power conversion sub-unit 131. Exemplarily, the second external power supply 220 may include a first transformer. The primary winding of the first transformer is connected to the AC power grid. The second power conversion sub-unit 131 is respectively connected to the secondary winding of the first transformer and the energy storage module 110. The first transformer converts the second alternating current provided by the AC power grid into a first alternating current and provides it to the second power conversion sub-unit 131. The second power conversion sub-unit 131 converts the first alternating current into a third direct current to charge the energy storage module 110.
[0248] The second power conversion subunit 131 can be a unidirectional ACDC subunit or a bidirectional ACDC subunit. When the second power conversion subunit 131 is a bidirectional ACDC subunit, it can not only charge the energy storage module 110, but also feed the electric energy of the energy storage module 110 to the AC power grid. The specific circuit structure of this unidirectional ACDC subunit or bidirectional ACDC subunit is not limited here.
[0249] It should be noted that in this example, the maximum output power and rated output power of the input module 130 are also the maximum output power and rated output power of the second power conversion subunit 131.
[0250] In the above embodiment, when an external power supply provides alternating current, the battery subunit can be charged through the second power conversion subunit.
[0251] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6a 、 6b 、9a, 9b, 11a, 11b and Figures 14 - 22 , the charging module 120 includes a charging module conversion unit and at least one charging gun 122. The charging gun 122 is connected to the energy storage module 110 through the charging module conversion unit.
[0252] The number of charging guns 122 can be one, two or more than three. Exemplarily, the number of charging guns 122 is two, and the maximum charging output power or rated output power of each charging gun 122 can be 500 kW, and can charge the same electrical device at the same time. The electrical device can be an electric vehicle, and each charging gun 122 can also charge different electrical devices separately.
[0253] When the number of charging guns 122 is multiple, multiple charging guns 122 can be connected to the energy storage module 110 through the same charging module conversion unit, and each charging gun 122 can also be separately connected to the energy storage module 110 through a charging module conversion unit. The charging module conversion unit can be a DCDC conversion unit, specifically a unipolar unidirectional DCDC conversion unit or a unipolar bidirectional DCDC conversion unit, and can also be a bipolar unidirectional DCDC conversion unit or a bipolar bidirectional DCDC conversion unit.
[0254] The conversion unit of the charging module can flexibly adjust parameters such as voltage and current according to the direct current output by the energy storage module 110 and the requirements of the device (such as an electric vehicle) connected to the charging gun 122, so as to achieve efficient charging output. The configuration of at least one charging gun 122 enables the charging device 100 to charge one or more electrical devices simultaneously. In public charging areas, such as parking lots and charging stations, multiple users can simultaneously use different charging guns 122 to charge their electric vehicles, improving the usage efficiency and service capacity of the charging device 100, meeting the usage requirements in scenarios of large-scale charging demand, effectively alleviating the problem of queuing for charging, and enhancing the user experience.
[0255] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6a , the charging module 120 includes a third power conversion subunit 121 and a charging gun 122. The positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the third power conversion subunit 121 are correspondingly connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The positive output terminal and the negative output terminal of the third power conversion subunit 121 are correspondingly connected to the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122. The third power conversion subunit 121 is configured to convert the first direct current into a fourth direct current for charging output through the charging gun 122.
[0256] Specifically, when charging a device to be charged, one or more energy storage units provide a second direct current, so that the energy storage module 110 provides a first direct current. The first direct current is converted into a fourth direct current by the third power conversion subunit 121 and provided to the charging gun 122, and the charging gun 122 provides it to the device to be charged to charge the device to be charged.
[0257] In this example, the third power conversion subunit 121 is bipolar, that is, it has a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal. At this time, the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the third power conversion subunit 121 are directly connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal of the third power conversion subunit 121 are directly connected to the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122. The negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 are not shared. In this way, it is applicable to the application scenario where the third power conversion subunit 121 is bipolar.
[0258] The third power conversion subunit 121 can be a bipolar unidirectional DCDC subunit or a bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit. When the third power conversion subunit 121 is a bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit, it can not only charge the device to be charged, but also feed the electrical energy of the device to be charged to the energy storage module 110, and can also be fed to the AC power grid in the previous example through the input module 130, ultimately realizing the free conversion of electrical energy among the grid, charging, and storage.
[0259] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6b , the charging module 120 includes a fourth power conversion subunit 123 and a charging gun 122. The positive input terminal of the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is connected to the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, the positive output terminal of the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is connected to the positive input terminal of the charging gun 122, the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is configured to convert the first direct current into a fourth direct current for charging output through the charging gun 122.
[0260] Specifically, when charging a device to be charged, one or more energy storage units provide a second direct current, so that the energy storage module 110 provides a first direct current. The first direct current is converted into a fourth direct current by the fourth power conversion subunit 123 and provided to the charging gun 122, and is provided by the charging gun 122 to the device to be charged to charge the device to be charged.
[0261] In this example, the fourth power conversion subunit 123 has a single polarity, that is, only a positive input terminal. At this time, the positive input terminal of the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is directly connected to the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, the positive output terminal of the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is directly connected to the positive input terminal of the charging gun 122, and the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is directly connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 are shared. In this way, it is applicable to the application scenario where the fourth power conversion subunit 123 has a single polarity and has a low cost.
[0262] The fourth power conversion subunit 123 can be a single-polarity unidirectional DCDC subunit or a single-polarity bidirectional DCDC subunit. When the fourth power conversion subunit 123 is a single-polarity bidirectional DCDC subunit, not only can the device to be charged be charged, but also the electric energy of the device to be charged can be fed to the energy storage module 110, and can also be fed to the AC power grid in the foregoing example through the input module 130, finally realizing the free conversion of electric energy among the grid, charging, and storage.
[0263] In the above embodiments, by sharing or not sharing the negative input terminal of the charging gun, different power supply scenarios can be adapted, and the selection range in the circuit structure selection is increased.
[0264] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , the energy storage module 110 further includes a selection unit 111. The selection unit 111 is connected to one or more energy storage units and is configured to select at least one energy storage unit from the one or more energy storage units and connect it to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 to provide a first direct current.
[0265] Specifically, during charging, the selection unit 111 can select an energy storage unit A 1 connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 to provide a first direct current; or, select all the energy storage units A 1 ,..., energy storage unit A n-1 and energy storage unit A n connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 to provide a first direct current. Then, the charging module 120 outputs a charge based on the first direct current.
[0266] In the above embodiments, by selectively controlling the output of the energy storage unit through the selection unit, the flexibility of charging can be improved to meet different charging requirements.
[0267] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , both the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 include one. The selection unit 111 includes a plurality of second switch sub-units. Each second switch sub-unit is connected to an energy storage unit. Each second switch sub-unit is connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit and the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The first negative power supply terminals of one or more energy storage units are respectively connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The second switch sub-unit is configured to connect the first positive power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit to the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 when turned on.
[0268] Specifically, the selection unit 111 includes second switch sub-units K1,..., second switch sub-unit Kn-1, and second switch sub-unit Kn. Among them, the second switch sub-unit K1 is connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A 1 and the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110,..., the second switch sub-unit Kn-1 is connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A n-1 and the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the second switch sub-unit Kn is connected in series between the first positive power supply terminal of the energy storage unit A n and the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. By controlling the on / off of the second switch sub-unit, the corresponding energy storage unit is selected to provide a second direct current, and then the energy storage module 110 provides a first direct current. At this time, the charging module 120 converts the first direct current into a fourth direct current to charge the device to be charged.
[0269] In the above embodiments, by providing one second positive power supply terminal and selectively controlling the energy storage unit to provide a second direct current through the selection unit, the flexibility of charging can be improved to meet the charging requirements.

The positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the fifth power conversion subunit 124 are correspondingly connected to the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The positive output terminal and the negative output terminal of the fifth power conversion subunit 124 are correspondingly connected to the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122. The fifth power conversion subunit 124 is configured to convert the first direct current into a fourth direct current for charging output through the charging gun 122.

The sixth power conversion subunit 125 is configured to convert the first direct current into a fourth direct current for charging output through the charging gun 122.
[0273] It should be noted that for the connection relationship between the sixth power conversion subunit 125 and the charging gun 122 and the energy storage module 110, as well as the structure of the sixth power conversion subunit 125, please refer to the foregoing related description of the fourth power conversion subunit 123, and details are not elaborated here.
[0274] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , the second positive power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 includes multiple ones, and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 includes one. The selection unit 111 includes multiple second switch subunits. Each second switch subunit is connected to an energy storage unit and a second positive power supply terminal.

The first negative power supply terminals of one or more energy storage units are respectively connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110. The second switch subunit is configured to connect the first positive power supply terminal of the corresponding energy storage unit to the corresponding second positive power supply terminal when conducting.
[0275] Specifically, the selection unit 111 includes second switch subunits K1,..., second switch subunit Kn-1, and second switch subunit Kn.

By controlling the on / off of the second switching sub-unit, a corresponding energy storage unit is selected to provide the second direct current, so that the energy storage module 110 provides the first direct current. At this time, the charging module 120 converts the first direct current into the fourth direct current to charge the device to be charged. It should be noted that the first direct current here includes multiple second direct currents, and the charging module 120 can selectively convert one or more second direct currents into the fourth direct current
[0276] In the above embodiment, by providing multiple second positive power supply terminals and selectively controlling the energy storage unit to provide the second direct current through the selection unit, the charging flexibility can be improved to meet the charging requirements
[0277] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 11a , the charging module 120 includes multiple seventh power conversion sub-units and a charging gun 122. The positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of each seventh power conversion sub-unit are correspondingly connected to a second positive power supply terminal and a second negative power supply terminal. The positive output terminal and the negative output terminal of each seventh power conversion sub-unit are correspondingly connected to the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the charging gun. The multiple seventh power conversion sub-units are configured to convert the first direct current into the fourth direct current for charging output through the charging gun
[0278] Specifically, the multiple seventh power conversion sub-units are respectively the seventh power conversion sub-unit D 1 、...、the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n-1 and the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n , where the positive input terminal of the seventh power conversion sub-unit D 1 is connected to a second positive power supply terminal,..., the positive input terminal of the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n-1 is connected to another second positive power supply terminal, the positive input terminal of the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n is connected to yet another second positive power supply terminal, and the negative input terminals of the seventh power conversion sub-unit D 1 、...、the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n-1 and the seventh power conversion sub-unit D n are all connected to the second negative power supply terminal.

[0279] In this example, each seventh power conversion subunit can convert the second direct current of the corresponding energy storage unit into the fifth direct current, and finally multiple seventh power conversion subunits output the fourth direct current.
[0280] The seventh power conversion subunit can be a bipolar unidirectional DCDC subunit or a bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit. When the seventh power conversion subunit is a bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit, it can not only charge the device to be charged, but also feed the electric energy of the device to be charged to the energy storage module 110, and can also be fed to the AC power grid in the previous example through the input module 130, finally realizing the free conversion of electric energy among the grid, charging and storage.
[0281] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 11b , the charging module 120 includes multiple eighth power conversion subunits and a charging gun 122. The positive input terminal of each eighth power conversion subunit is connected to a second positive power supply terminal, the positive output terminal of each eighth power conversion subunit is connected to the positive input terminal of the charging gun 122, the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the multiple eighth power conversion subunits are configured to convert the first direct current into the fourth direct current and output it through the charging gun 122 for charging.
[0282] Specifically, the multiple eighth power conversion subunits are respectively the eighth power conversion subunit E 1 ,..., the eighth power conversion subunit E n-1 and the eighth power conversion subunit E n , where the positive input terminal of the eighth power conversion subunit E 1 is connected to a second positive power supply terminal,..., the positive input terminal of the eighth power conversion subunit E n-1 is connected to another second positive power supply terminal, the positive input terminal of the eighth power conversion subunit E n is connected to yet another second positive power supply terminal, and the positive output terminals of the eighth power conversion subunit E 1 ,..., the eighth power conversion subunit E n-1 and the eighth power conversion subunit E n are all connected to the positive input terminal of the charging gun 122, and the negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110.
[0283] In this example, each eighth power conversion subunit can convert the second direct current of the corresponding energy storage unit into the fifth direct current, and finally multiple eighth power conversion subunits output the fourth direct current.
[0284] The eighth power conversion subunit can be a unipolar unidirectional DCDC subunit or a unipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit. When the eighth power conversion subunit is a unipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit, it can not only charge the device to be charged, but also feed the electrical energy of the device to be charged to the energy storage module 110, and can also be fed to the AC power grid in the foregoing example through the input module 130, ultimately realizing the free conversion of electrical energy among the grid, charging, and storage.
[0285] In the above embodiments, by sharing or not sharing the negative input terminal of the charging gun, different power supply scenarios can be adapted, improving the selection range during the circuit structure selection.
[0286] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 12a , the input module 130 includes a ninth power conversion subunit 132. The ninth power conversion subunit 132 is connected to one or more energy storage units and is configured to provide charging energy for each energy storage unit based on the first alternating current provided by the second external power supply 220.
[0287] Specifically, the second external power supply 220 is used to generate the first alternating current and provide it to the ninth power conversion subunit 132 in the input module 130, and charge each battery subunit in the energy storage module 110 through the ninth power conversion subunit 132. Exemplarily, the second external power supply 220 may include a second transformer. The primary winding of the second transformer is connected to the AC power grid, and the secondary winding of the second transformer is connected to the ninth power conversion subunit 132. The second transformer converts the second alternating current provided by the AC power grid into the first alternating current and provides it to the ninth power conversion subunit 132, and the ninth power conversion subunit 132 converts the first alternating current into the third direct current to charge the energy storage module 110.
[0288] Exemplarily, the second external power supply 220 is a three-phase AC power supply, and the ninth power conversion subunit 132 is a unidirectional three-phase ACDC subunit or a bidirectional three-phase ACDC subunit. At this time, each phase of the three-phase ACDC subunit is connected to an energy storage unit to charge the corresponding energy storage unit. When the ninth power conversion subunit 132 is a bidirectional three-phase ACDC subunit, not only can the energy storage module 110 be charged, but also the electrical energy of the energy storage module 110 can be fed to the AC power grid. Thus, in three-phase alternating current, a single phase is implemented by an energy storage unit, and three energy storage units can implement the function of three-phase alternating current. For example, three-phase power frequency alternating current with a phase difference of 120°. The specific circuit structure of the unidirectional three-phase ACDC subunit or the bidirectional three-phase ACDC subunit is not limited here.
[0289] It should be noted that in this example, the maximum output power and the rated output power of the input module 130 are also the maximum output power and the rated output power of the ninth power conversion subunit 132.
[0290] In the above embodiments, when an external power supply provides alternating current, the battery subunit can be charged through the ninth power conversion subunit.
[0291] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 12b , the input module 130 includes a plurality of tenth power conversion subunits, each tenth power conversion subunit is connected to an energy storage unit, and the plurality of tenth power conversion subunits are configured to provide charging energy for each energy storage unit based on the first alternating current provided by the second external power supply 220.
[0292] Specifically, the plurality of tenth power conversion subunits are respectively the tenth power conversion subunit F 1 、...、the tenth power conversion subunit F n-1 、the tenth power conversion subunit F n , where the tenth power conversion subunit F 1 is respectively connected to the second external power supply 220 and the energy storage unit A 1 ,...、the tenth power conversion subunit F n-1 is respectively connected to the second external power supply 220 and the energy storage unit A n-1 , the tenth power conversion subunit F n is respectively connected to the second external power supply 220 and the energy storage unit A n . Each tenth power conversion subunit can charge the corresponding energy storage unit based on the first alternating current provided by the second external power supply 220.
[0293] Exemplarily, the second external power supply 220 is a three-phase alternating current power supply, there are three tenth power conversion subunits, and each tenth power conversion subunit is a single-phase single-way ACDC subunit or a single-phase bidirectional ACDC subunit. At this time, each tenth power conversion subunit is connected to one phase of the three-phase alternating current power supply to charge the corresponding energy storage unit. When the tenth power conversion subunit is a single-phase bidirectional ACDC subunit, not only can the energy storage module 110 be charged, but also the electric energy of the energy storage module 110 can be fed to the alternating current power grid. And when feeding, the three single-phase bidirectional ACDC subunits cooperate with each other to form three-phase alternating current and feed it to the three-phase alternating current power grid. In this way, in the three-phase alternating current, a single phase is realized by the energy storage unit, and the three energy storage units can realize the function of three-phase alternating current. The specific circuit structure of the single-phase single-way ACDC subunit or the single-phase bidirectional ACDC subunit is not limited here.
[0294] It should be noted that in this example, the maximum output power and the rated output power of the input module 130 are also the sum of the maximum output power and the rated output power of the plurality of tenth power conversion subunits.
[0295] In the above embodiments, when an external power supply provides alternating current, the battery sub-units can be charged through multiple tenth power conversion sub-units.
[0296] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 13 , the charging device 100 further includes a wireless communication module 140, and at least part of the energy storage module 110, the input module 130, and the charging module 120 are connected to the wireless communication module 140 to perform information interaction with an external device through the wireless communication module 140.
[0297] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, multiple charging device architectures are provided. For example, multiple energy storage units can be connected in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel; some or all of the multiple energy storage units can be provided with a first power conversion sub-unit, a first switch sub-unit, or a first power conversion sub-unit and a first switch sub-unit; the charging module can use a unipolar power conversion sub-unit or a bipolar power conversion sub-unit, and the negative input terminals of the corresponding charging piles can be shared or not shared; single-phase in three-phase alternating current is implemented by an energy storage unit, and three energy storage units can implement the function of three-phase alternating current; the input module can be an AC input or a DC input; and so on.
[0298] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the present application more clearly, specific examples are described below, but this should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
[0299] Example 1, referring to Figure 14 , the energy storage module 110 includes multiple energy storage units, each energy storage unit includes a battery sub-unit and a first power conversion sub-unit, the first power conversion sub-unit can be a bidirectional DCDC sub-unit, multiple energy storage units are connected in series between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, and the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110 are connected to the DC bus, that is, multiple energy storage units are connected in series and then connected to the DC bus. The charging module 120 includes a third power conversion sub-unit 121 and a charging gun 122, the third power conversion sub-unit 121 has a high-voltage positive input terminal, a high-voltage negative input terminal, a high-voltage positive output terminal, and a high-voltage negative output terminal, and the third power conversion sub-unit 121 can be a bipolar bidirectional DCDC sub-unit. The input module 130 includes a second power conversion sub-unit 131, and the second power conversion sub-unit 131 can be a bidirectional ACDC sub-unit. The second external power supply 220 includes a first transformer connected to the AC grid.
[0300] When charging the energy storage module 110, the first transformer converts the second alternating current provided by the AC grid into the first alternating current, and after converting it into direct current through the bidirectional ACDC sub-unit, it charges each battery sub-unit in the energy storage module 110 through the DC bus.
[0301] When charging a device to be charged, the energy storage unit provides a second direct current based on the electrical energy of the battery subunit. The energy storage module 110 obtains a first direct current based on the second direct current. The first direct current is converted by the high-power bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit to obtain a fourth direct current, and is charged to the device to be charged through the charging gun 122 to achieve high-power charging, and further achieve fast charging / supercharging of the device to be charged.
[0302] It can be understood that under the action of the bidirectional ACDC subunit and the bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit, the electrical energy of the device to be charged can also be fed to the energy storage module 110 or the AC power grid, so as to realize the free switching of electrical energy among the device to be charged, the energy storage module 110 and the AC power grid.
[0303] Example 2, refer to Figure 15 , this example compared with Figure 14 The shown example, the difference is that: the fourth power conversion subunit 123 only has a high-voltage positive input terminal and a high-voltage positive output terminal. The high-voltage negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is directly connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, the negative poles of the charging gun 122 and the energy storage module 110 are shared. The fourth power conversion subunit 123 can be a unipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit. For the same content, to avoid redundancy, it will not be elaborated here.
[0304] Example 3, refer to Figure 16 , this example compared with Figure 14 The shown example, the difference is that: multiple energy storage units are connected in parallel between the second positive power supply terminal and the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, multiple energy storage units are connected in parallel to the DC bus.
[0305] Example 4, refer to Figure 17 , this example compared with Figure 16 The shown example, the difference is that: the fourth power conversion subunit 123 only has a high-voltage positive input terminal and a high-voltage positive output terminal. The high-voltage negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is directly connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, the negative poles of the charging gun 122 and the energy storage module 110 are shared. The fourth power conversion subunit 123 can be a unipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit.
[0306] Example 5, refer to Figure 18 , this example compared with Figure 14 The shown example, the difference is that: some of the multiple energy storage units include battery subunits, and another part of the energy storage units include battery subunits and the first power conversion subunit. For example, the energy storage unit A 1 Includes a battery subunit, the energy storage unit A n Includes a battery subunit and a bidirectional DCDC subunit A n .
[0307] Example VI. Refer to Figure 19 , the differences between this example and the Figure 18 example shown are as follows: The fourth power conversion subunit 123 only has a high-voltage positive input terminal and a high-voltage positive output terminal. The high-voltage negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is directly connected to the second negative power terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, the negative poles of the charging gun 122 and the energy storage module 110 share the same connection. The fourth power conversion subunit 123 can be a single-polarity bidirectional DCDC subunit.
[0308] Example VII. Refer to Figure 20 , the differences between this example and the Figure 16 example shown are as follows: Each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit and a first switch subunit. The first switch subunit can be a protection switch to protect the energy storage unit in case of abnormalities.
[0309] In the above Examples I to VII, the energy storage module 110 and the charging module 120 are both connected to the DC bus, that is, the charging device 100 adopts a DC bus design. When multiple energy storage modules 110 and multiple charging modules 120 are provided, multiple charging devices 100 share the same DC bus. When the charging device 100 adopts a DC bus design, when the maximum charging output power of the charging device 100 is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the maximum output power of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the rated power of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 350 kW, the rated energy of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 58 kWh, the maximum discharge rate of the battery subunit is greater than or equal to 4C, the maximum output power of the first power conversion subunit is greater than or equal to 350 kW, and the rated power of the first power conversion subunit is greater than or equal to 310 kW. The maximum output power of the input module 130 is less than or equal to 150 kW, and the ratio of the maximum output power of the input module 130 to the maximum output power of the first power conversion subunit is not greater than 1:4.
[0310] Example VIII. Refer to Figure 21 , the energy storage module 110 includes three energy storage units A 1 , A 2 and A 3and a selection unit 111. Each energy storage unit includes a battery subunit, and the selection unit 111 includes three second switch subunits K1, K2, and K3. The charging module 120 includes a fifth power conversion subunit 124 and a charging gun 122. The fifth power conversion subunit 124 has a high-voltage positive input terminal, a high-voltage negative input terminal, a high-voltage positive output terminal, and a high-voltage negative output terminal, and the fifth power conversion subunit 124 can be a bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit. The input module 130 includes three tenth power conversion subunits, and the tenth power conversion subunit can be a bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit. The second external power supply 220 includes a second transformer connected to the AC power grid.
[0311] When charging the energy storage module 110, the second transformer converts the second alternating current provided by the AC power grid into the first alternating current, which is converted into direct current by the bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit and then charges the corresponding battery subunit. Among them, each bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit is connected to a phase of the AC busbar. For example, the first bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit is connected to phase A, the second bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit is connected to phase B, and the third bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit is connected to phase C. It should be noted that under the action of the bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit, when the electric energy in the energy storage module 110 is fed to the AC power grid, the three bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunits can cooperate with each other to generate three-phase alternating current with a phase difference of 120°, so that the output of three-phase alternating current can be realized through three energy storage units.
[0312] When charging a device to be charged, the energy storage unit provides the second direct current based on the electric energy of the battery subunit. The energy storage module 110 selectively outputs the second direct current through the selection unit 111 to obtain the first direct current. The first direct current is converted by the high-power bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit to obtain the fourth direct current, and is charged to the device to be charged through the charging gun 122 to achieve high-power charging, and further achieve fast charging / supercharging of the device to be charged. In some examples, the second switch subunits K1, K2, and K3 can be separately closed in sequence at different times to make the power in the three energy storage units consistent.
[0313] It can be understood that under the action of the bidirectional single-phase ACDC subunit and the bipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit, the electric energy of the device to be charged can also be fed to the energy storage module 110 or the AC power grid, so as to realize the free switching of electric energy among the device to be charged, the energy storage module 110, and the AC power grid.
[0314] Example Nine, refer to Figure 22 , this example compared with Figure 21In the illustrated example, the difference is that the sixth power conversion subunit 125 only has a high-voltage positive input terminal and a high-voltage positive output terminal. The high-voltage negative input terminal of the charging gun 122 is directly connected to the second negative power supply terminal of the energy storage module 110, that is, the negative poles of the charging gun 122 and the energy storage module 110 share the same connection. The sixth power conversion subunit 125 can be a unipolar bidirectional DCDC subunit.
[0315] In the above Examples 8 to 9, both the energy storage module 110 and the charging module 120 are connected to the AC bus, that is, the charging device 100 adopts an AC bus design. When multiple energy storage modules 110 and multiple charging modules 120 are provided, multiple charging devices 100 share the AC bus.
[0316] In the above Examples 1 to 9, the charging device 100 can communicate with external devices, including but not limited to cloud services / monitoring platforms, through the wireless communication module 140 to achieve 4G / 5G communication, etc. The cloud service / monitoring platform selects a suitable peak-valley period according to the peak-valley period in the area where the charging device 100 is located and sends it to the charging device 100, and the charging device 100 realizes peak shaving and valley filling. For example, during the peak period of the AC power grid, the AC power grid does not charge the energy storage module 110, and during the low valley period of the AC power grid, the energy storage module 110 is slowly charged through the AC power grid.
[0317] It should be noted that the above Examples 1 to 9 are only exemplary descriptions. Based on the inventive concept of the present application, through reasonable settings of the foregoing architectures, they should all be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0383] In other examples, the resistance of the negative electrode plate can be in the range of 1 mΩ - 50 mΩ.
[0384] Thus, when the resistance of the negative electrode plate is within the above range, it is beneficial to reduce the internal resistance of the single cell, improve the conductivity of the battery subunit, and then increase the charging rate of the battery subunit, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery device.
[0385] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the negative electrode plate has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art.

Or the carbon-based material may further include natural graphite. Specifically, the carbon-based material may include graphite particles, or the carbon-based material may include graphite particles and natural graphite.
[0387] Optionally, the carbon-based material is graphite particles. Based on the mass of the graphite particles, the mass ratio of natural graphite may be greater than that of artificial graphite.
[0388] Using at least one of natural graphite and artificial graphite as the carbon-based material of the negative electrode active material layer, the two have good conductivity and high theoretical specific capacity. Natural graphite has high crystallinity and regular layered structure, which is beneficial to the rapid insertion and extraction of lithium ions, thus improving the charge and discharge efficiency of the battery; artificial graphite can precisely adjust its microstructure and performance by controlling the production process, enhance the cycle stability of the single cell, and extend the service life of the single cell, so that the cycle life and charging stability of the charging device 100 can be extended in the scenario of high-power charging.
[0389] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode film layer may be, but is not limited to, in the range of 8.2 μm - 13.5 μm.
[0390] When a single-layer film layer is used for the negative electrode film layer, the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, and optionally also includes a silicon-based material. When a single-layer film layer is used, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material can be, but is not limited to, 8.2 μm to 13.5 μm. Exemplarily, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 8.2 μm, 8.5 μm, 8.8 μm, 9 μm, 9.2 μm, 9.5 μm, 9.8 μm, 10 μm, 10.2 μm, 10.5 μm, 10.8 μm, 11 μm, 11.2 μm, 11.5 μm, 11.8 μm, 12 μm, 12.2 μm, 12.5 μm, 12.8 μm, 13 μm, 13.2 μm, 13.5 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values. In other embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode film layer can be between 8.2 μm and 18.5 μm. For example, it can be 8.2 μm, 8.5 μm, 8.8 μm, 9 μm, 9.2 μm, 9.5 μm, 9.8 μm, 10 μm, 10.2 μm, 10.5 μm, 10.8 μm, 11 μm, 11.2 μm, 11.5 μm, 11.8 μm, 12 μm, 12.2 μm, 12.5 μm, 12.8 μm, 13 μm, 13.2 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, 16.2 μm, 18 μm, 18.5 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0391] When at least two-layer film layers are used for the negative electrode film layer, the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, and optionally also includes a silicon-based material.

[0392] The volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8.2 μm - 13.5 μm. This particle size range can balance the specific surface area and the tap density. A smaller particle size can provide a larger specific surface area, increasing the reaction sites for lithium ions and improving the charge-discharge rate performance of the single-cell battery; while an appropriate particle size can have a higher tap density, reducing the voids between the active substances and improving the energy density of the single-cell battery, so as to achieve a better balance between the rate performance and the energy density of the single-cell battery to meet the charging requirements of the charging device 100 at different charging rates.
[0393] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode active material layer and a second negative electrode active material layer which are stacked.

The volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer is 9.5 μm - 18.5 μm, and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer is 7.8 μm - 14.3 μm.
[0394] When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer are within the above ranges, on the one hand, it can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance. On the other hand, the material is not prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, which can improve the stability of the material. The cooperation of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer within the above volume average particle size range is beneficial to constructing the gradient pore difference between the second negative electrode active material layer and the first negative electrode active material layer, reducing the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0395] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer. The first negative electrode film layer is disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. The carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer includes graphite particles. The second negative electrode film layer is connected to the side of the first negative electrode film layer facing away from the negative electrode current collector.

Further optionally, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer, which is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer. When the negative electrode active material includes graphite particles, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than or equal to the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.
[0400] There are differences in the particle sizes of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, which can improve the fast charging performance of the single cell. Specifically, during fast charging, the overpotential of the second negative electrode film layer is usually relatively high, and the bottleneck of fast charging mainly lies in the second negative electrode film layer. In the embodiments of the present application, the particle size in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively small, which can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions, improve the fast charging performance, and can also improve the problem of lithium deposition on the surface layer of the negative electrode sheet.

When the first negative electrode film layer includes graphite particles, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is from 9.5 μm to 18.5 μm, and can be optionally from 9.5 μm to 14.6 μm.
[0402] When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, on the one hand, it can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance. On the other hand, the material is not prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, which can improve the stability of the material.

[0404] When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative active material in the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, on the one hand, it can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance. On the other hand, the material is not prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, which can improve the stability of the material. On the other hand, the negative active material in the second negative electrode film layer with the above volume average particle size range cooperates with the negative active material in the first negative electrode film layer, which is beneficial to constructing the gradient pore difference between the second negative electrode film layer and the first negative electrode film layer, reducing the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improving the fast charging performance of the single cell.
[0405] In the embodiments of the present application, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative active material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. Its detection method is the same as the test method for the volume average particle size Dv50 of the positive active material described above.
[0406] Optionally, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer. The tap density can reflect the filling density of the active material in the film layer. When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is greater than the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer, the second negative electrode film layer is filled more densely, so that the energy density of the single cell is improved. The filling of the first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparse and the pores are richer, which can improve the fast charging performance of the single cell. When the negative active material includes graphite particles, the tap density of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tap density of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.
[0407] Optionally, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is 0.82 g / cm 3To 1.21 g / cm 3 , such as 0.82 g / cm 3 , 0.85 g / cm 3 , 0.88 g / cm 3 , 0.90 g / cm 3 , 0.92 g / cm 3 , 0.95 g / cm 3 , 0.98 g / cm 3 , 1.00 g / cm 3 , 1.05 g / cm 3 , 1.08 g / cm 3 , 1.10 g / cm 3 , 1.12 g / cm 3 , 1.15 g / cm 3 , 1.18 g / cm 3 , 1.20 g / cm 3 , 1.21 g / cm 3 Or a range composed of any two of the above values.

When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is within a suitable range, the energy density of the single cell can be improved.
[0409] In the embodiments of the present application, the tapped density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be measured by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, reference can be made to GB / T5162-2006 and a powder tapped density tester can be used for measurement. The test instrument can be BT-301 produced by Dandong BETOP.
[0410] Optionally, the ratio of the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is from 3:7 to 7:3, and can be optionally from 4:6 to 6:4. Exemplarily, the ratio of the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3 or a range composed of any two of the above values. By adjusting the thickness ratio of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, the gradient pore difference between the upper and lower layers can be further increased, the tortuosity of lithium ion transport can be reduced, and the fast charging ability of the single cell can be improved.
[0411] In some embodiments, when the single cell is in a 100% charged state, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 - 1.36 g / cm 3 .
[0412] It can be optionally 1.25 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 .

[0413] In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer when the single cell is in a 100% charged state has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is the same as the compaction density test method of the positive electrode film layer described above.
[0414] When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0415] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under a pressure of 20000N is 1.5g / cm 3 to 1.85g / cm 3 , optionally 1.55g / cm 3 to 1.65g / cm 3 .

[0416] When the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000N is within the above range, the energy density of the single cell can be improved, and since the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer can be stacked more tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0417] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art, and is detected according to the test standard GB / T24533-2009. As an example, a certain amount of negative electrode active material is taken as a sample and added to a mold with a bottom area of 1.327cm 2² in a UTM7305 type electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 2000kg (equivalent to 20000N), kept under pressure for 30s, then depressurized, kept for 10s, and then the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under a force of 20000N is recorded and calculated.
[0418] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a 0.1C rate is 350mAh / g to 480mAh / g.

[0419] When the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is within the above range, the energy density of the single cell is relatively high.
[0420] In the embodiments of the present application, the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is the same as the charging specific capacity test method of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C described above.
[0421] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material layer includes a carbon-based material, and the carbon-based material has high cycle stability and can improve the cycle performance of the single cell. Optionally, the mass ratio of the carbon-based material in the negative electrode active material can be greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100%.
[0422] The positive electrode active material of the present application is mainly a lithium-containing phosphate system with an olivine structure, and the negative electrode active material is mainly a carbon-based material system.

The artificial graphite includes secondary particles, and the secondary particles include a plurality of primary particles. The carbon coating layer covers the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon in the carbon coating layer is mainly amorphous carbon. Amorphous carbon refers to a transition carbon material with a very low degree of graphitization crystallization and an approximate amorphous form (or no fixed shape and periodic structural rules). In the present application, amorphous carbon refers to the product after carbonization treatment of an organic carbon source.
[0426] The artificial graphite includes secondary particles. In the artificial graphite, there are more migration paths for lithium ions, and the migration path in the primary particles is shorter, which can improve the migration rate of lithium ions. The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, increasing the number of sites where lithium ions can be intercalated and deintercalated, making the conductivity of the carbon coating layer relatively excellent, and reducing the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the single cell.

[0433] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may further include a silicon-based material. The introduction of the silicon-based material can improve the capacity of the negative electrode active material and increase the energy density of the single cell.
[0434] Optionally, based on the mass of the negative electrode active material, the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is 0.3% to 10.0%, and can be optionally 1% to 6%. Exemplarily, the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.2%, 4.5%, 4.8%, 5%, 5.2%, 5.5%, 5.8%, 6%, 6.2%, 6.5%, 6.8%, 7%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.2%, 8.5%, 8.8%, 9%, 9.2%, 9.5%, 9.8%, 10% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0435] When the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is within the above range, the capacity of the negative electrode active material can be improved, and the energy density of the single cell can be improved.
[0436] Optionally, the silicon-based material may include at least one of elemental silicon, silicon oxide, silicon-carbon composite, silicon-nitrogen composite, and silicon alloy material.
[0437] In some embodiments, in addition to the above-mentioned carbon-based material and optional silicon-based material, the negative electrode active material may further include at least one of a tin-based material and lithium titanate. The tin-based material may include at least one of elemental tin, tin oxide, and tin alloy material.
[0438] In this application, the qualitative and quantitative determination of each substance or element can be detected by suitable equipment and methods known to those skilled in the art. The relevant detection methods can refer to domestic and foreign detection standards, domestic and foreign enterprise standards, etc. And those skilled in the art can also adaptively change certain detection steps / instrument parameters, etc. from the perspective of detection accuracy to obtain more accurate detection results. One detection method can be used for qualitative or quantitative determination, or several detection methods can be used in combination for qualitative or quantitative determination.
[0439] For example, this application can combine the general rules of X-ray diffraction analysis method of JIS / K0131-1996 to perform X-ray powder diffraction test and qualitative analysis on the negative electrode sheet or the negative electrode active material.

There are voids between the flaky structures in the SEM cross-sectional view of natural graphite, and the SEM cross-sectional view of artificial graphite is dense and has no obvious gaps, or can be distinguished by the XRD spectrum obtained by X-ray diffraction method. There are obvious 2H phase and 3R phase in the XRD spectrum of natural graphite, and only 2H phase exists in the XRD spectrum of artificial graphite.
[0441] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material is from 0.005 Ω·cm to 0.043 Ω·cm, and may be optionally 0.04 Ω·cm. Exemplarily, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material can be 0.043 Ω·cm, 0.04 Ω·cm, 0.035 Ω·cm, 0.03 Ω·cm, 0.025 Ω·cm, 0.02 Ω·cm, 0.015 Ω·cm, 0.01 Ω·cm, 0.005 Ω·cm or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0442] The relatively low powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the negative electrode sheet and less heat generation of the single cell.
[0443] In the embodiments of this application, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. Its detection method is the same as the powder resistivity test method of the positive electrode active material described above.

The above one charge and discharge is one cycle, and cycle 10 times. Then charge at a charging rate of 0.33C of the nominal capacity to 3.65V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C to obtain the BOL full charge state. In the BOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode plate, use a tomography electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode plate, distinguish the regions of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer according to the interface between them, measure their thicknesses respectively.

The above one charge and discharge cycle is repeated until the battery capacity decays to 80% of the nominal capacity and the test stops. Then, at 25 °C, charge at a constant current of 0.33C until 3.65V, and charge at a constant voltage of 0.05C until 3.65V, which is the EOL full charge state. In the EOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode sheet, and use a tomography scanning electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode sheet. Distinguish the areas of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer according to the interface between them, and measure their thicknesses respectively.

[0493] Exemplarily, the negative electrode conductive agent includes one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0494] Optionally, the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the negative electrode conductive layer is from 60% to 80%. Exemplarily, the mass content of the negative electrode binder is 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0495] Exemplarily, the negative electrode binder includes one or more of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), water-soluble unsaturated resin SR-1B, water-based acrylic resin, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, and carboxymethyl chitosan.
[0496] [Positive electrode plate] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the positive electrode plate ranges from 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, optionally from 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω, and further optionally from 0.1 Ω to 1 Ω. Exemplarily, the resistance of the positive electrode plate is 0.1 Ω, 0.5 Ω, 1 Ω, 1.5 Ω, 2 Ω, 2.5 Ω, 3 Ω, 3.5 Ω, 4 Ω, 4.5 Ω, 5 Ω, 5.5 Ω, 6 Ω, 6.5 Ω, 7 Ω, 7.5 Ω, 8 Ω, 8.5 Ω, 9 Ω, 9.5 Ω, 10 Ω, 10.5 Ω, 11 Ω, 11.5 Ω, 12 Ω, 12.5 Ω, 13 Ω, 13.5 Ω, 14 Ω, 14.5 Ω, 15 Ω, 15.5 Ω, 16 Ω, 16.5 Ω, 17 Ω, 17.5 Ω, 18 Ω, 18.5 Ω, 19 Ω, 20 Ω, 21 Ω, 22 Ω, 23 Ω, 24 Ω, 25 Ω, 26 Ω, 27 Ω, 28 Ω, 29 Ω, 30 Ω or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0497] In other examples, the resistance of the positive electrode plate can range from 0.01 mΩ to 30 Ω.
[0498] Thereby, the conductivity of the battery sub-unit can be improved, and further the charging performance of the charging device can be improved.
[0499] In some embodiments, when the single-cell battery is in a 100% charged state, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer can be, but is not limited to, 2.5 g / cm 3 -2.8 g / cm 3 , optionally from 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, when the single-cell battery is in a 100% charged state SOC, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.2 g / cm 3 , 2.50 g / cm 3 , 2.52 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.56 g / cm 3 , 2.57 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.62 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3, 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 Or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0500] When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the single cell. Moreover, since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked more closely, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation during rapid charging. Therefore, by adjusting the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer to a reasonable range, the single cell has both high energy density and high charging rate performance.
[0501] Optionally, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 , 2.47 g / cm 3 , 2.48 g / cm 3 , 2.49 g / cm 3 , 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.51 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 Or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0502] When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is within the above range, it can improve the energy density of the single cell. Moreover, since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer can be stacked more closely, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0503] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art. Detection is carried out in accordance with the test standard GB / T24533-2009. For example, a certain amount of the positive electrode active material is taken as a sample and added to a mold with a bottom area of 1.327 cm 2 in the UTM7305 type electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000 N), kept under pressure for 30 s, then the pressure is released, kept for 10 s, and then the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000 N is recorded and calculated.
[0504] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is from 0.2 g / 1540.25 mm 2 to 0.37 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , and can be optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . Exemplarily, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 210 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 220 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 230 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 260 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 270 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 280 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 290 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 310 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 320 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 360 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0505] When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation amount per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be too large, and it can take into account improving the energy density and charging rate performance of the single-cell battery.
[0506] In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the single-cell battery in the 100% state of charge (SOC) can be detected by the following method. Disassemble the positive electrode sheet from the single-cell battery in the 100% state of charge (SOC), and measure the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer. For example, take a single-sided coated positive electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated sheet, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into small round pieces with an area of S1, weigh it, record it as M1, and measure its thickness H1. Then wipe off the positive electrode film layer of the above-mentioned weighed positive electrode sheet, weigh the positive electrode current collector, record it as M0, and measure its thickness H0. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (the weight M1 of the positive electrode sheet - the weight M0 of the positive electrode current collector) / S1, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer = the thickness H1 of the positive electrode sheet - the thickness H0 of the positive electrode current collector, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer / the thickness of the positive electrode film layer.
[0507] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm - 15 μm, and can be selected from 12 μm to 15 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 14.5 μm, 15 μm or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0508] The positive electrode current collector can be aluminum.
[0509] When the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the positive electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and it can make the single-cell battery have a higher energy density.
[0510] In the embodiments of the present application, the thicknesses of the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector have the meanings well-known in the art, and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the positive electrode sheet, remove the film layer on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, and use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the positive electrode current collector. When the positive electrode film layer is single-sided coated, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is the thickness of the positive electrode sheet minus the thickness of the positive electrode current collector. When the positive electrode film layer is double-sided coated, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is (the thickness of the positive electrode sheet minus the thickness of the positive electrode current collector) / 2.
[0511] The positive electrode film layer is usually formed by coating the positive electrode slurry on the positive electrode current collector and then drying and cold pressing. The positive electrode slurry is usually formed by dispersing the positive electrode active material, optional conductive agent, optional binder, and any other components in a solvent and stirring evenly. The solvent can be N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), but is not limited thereto.
[0512] The positive electrode tab does not exclude other additional functional layers in addition to the positive electrode film layer. For example, in some embodiments, the positive electrode tab of the embodiment of the present application further includes a positive electrode conductive layer sandwiched between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer and disposed on the surface of the positive electrode current collector. In some other embodiments, the positive electrode tab of the embodiment of the present application further includes a protective layer covering the surface of the positive electrode film layer.
[0513] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.05 to 0.3. Exemplarily, the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.28, 0.3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0514] When the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the fast charging ability and energy density of the single cell can be improved.
[0515] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm, optionally less than or equal to 20 Ω·cm, and optionally less than or equal to 11 Ω·cm. Exemplarily, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material can be 27.5 Ω·cm, 20 Ω·cm, 19 Ω·cm, 18 Ω·cm, 17 Ω·cm, 16 Ω·cm, 15 Ω·cm, 14 Ω·cm, 13 Ω·cm, 12 Ω·cm, 11 Ω·cm, 10 Ω·cm, 9 Ω·cm, 8 Ω·cm, 7 Ω·cm, 6 Ω·cm, 5 Ω·cm, 4 Ω·cm, 3 Ω·cm, 2 Ω·cm, 1 Ω·cm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0516] The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the positive electrode tab and less heat generation in the single cell.
[0517] In the embodiment of the present application, the powder resistivity of the material has the meaning well known in the art and can be detected by methods and equipment well known in the art. For example, according to the test standard GB / T30835-2014, a PRCD1100 powder resistivity meter is used for testing.
[0518] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g, and optionally 157 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. Exemplarily, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is 150 mAh / g, 151 mAh / g, 152 mAh / g, 153 mAh / g, 154 mAh / g, 155 mAh / g, 156 mAh / g, 157 mAh / g, 158 mAh / g, 159 mAh / g, 160 mAh / g, 161 mAh / g, 162 mAh / g, 163 mAh / g, 164 mAh / g, 165 mAh / g, 166 mAh / g, 167 mAh / g, 168 mAh / g, 169 mAh / g, 170 mAh / g or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0519] When the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is within the above range, the energy density of the single cell is relatively high.
[0520] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific capacity of the active material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be tested by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The test method for the first Coulomb efficiency and the first discharge specific capacity in Appendix G of the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 can be adopted. Using metallic lithium as the negative electrode and the sample electrode sheet containing the above materials as the positive electrode, a half-button cell is assembled. Under the condition of 23°C ± 2°C, the half-button cell is placed on a battery tester or other test equipment with the same performance, and the discharge capacity is obtained through charge and discharge at a rate of 0.1C, and then the capacity is divided by the mass of the active material of the electrode sheet to obtain the charging specific capacity parameter.
[0521] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes lithium-containing phosphate, and the lithium-containing phosphate includes phosphate particles and a coating layer. The coating layer coats the surface of the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.
[0522] By coating the surface of the phosphate particles with a coating layer, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure can be improved, the powder resistivity of the material can be reduced, and it is beneficial to improve the migration rate of lithium ions, improve the fast charging ability of the battery, and reduce the heat generation of the single cell.
[0523] The mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure in the positive electrode active material can be greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100%. It can be considered that the positive electrode active material of this application is a lithium-containing phosphate system with an olivine structure. When the mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure is less than 100%, the positive electrode active material can also include common positive electrode active materials, such as at least one of lithium-containing transition metal oxides, for example, but not limited to. Examples of the lithium-containing transition metal oxides can include but are not limited to at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and their respective modified compounds.
[0524] Optionally, the mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure in the positive electrode active material is 100%.
[0525] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include a compound with the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z where 0.5 ≤ x 1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y 1 ≤ 1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x 1 + y 1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 5, A includes one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, M includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, Ce, X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y includes one or more of O, F. The phosphate particles have relatively excellent cycle stability, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the single cell.
[0526] Exemplarily, the chemical elements in the phosphate particles at least include Li, Fe, P, Al, Ti, and the mass ratios of the respective elements are (3 - 4):(30 - 35):(15 - 20):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.1 - 0.5) in sequence.
[0527] Exemplarily, the phosphate particles include LiFePO 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4One or more of them. During the charge and discharge process of a single battery cell, the insertion and extraction of active ions such as Li will occur, along with consumption. The molar content of Li in a single battery cell is different when it is discharged to different states. Regarding the cathode active materials LiFePO 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4 etc., the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding. When the cathode active material is applied to the battery system and undergoes charge and discharge cycles, the molar content of Li may change. In the embodiments of the present application, regarding the cathode active materials LiFePO 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4 etc., the molar content of oxygen O is only the theoretical state value. The release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen O to change. In fact, the molar content of oxygen O will show fluctuations. All the above situations are within the protection scope of the present application.
[0528] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a fast ion conductor with the general formula Li 3-d Fe 2-d M 2d (PO x2 ) y2 , where M 2 includes one or more elements selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, 0 ≤ d ≤ 1, 0 < x 2 < 5, 0 < y 2 < 4.
[0529] Exemplarily, the fast ion conductor is a material with a NASICON structure, such as including lithium iron titanium phosphate Li 2 FeTi(PO 4 ) 3 , lithium iron zirconium phosphate Li 2 FeZr(PO 4 ) 3 , lithium iron tin phosphate Li 2 FeSn(PO 4 ) 3 or one or more of them.
[0530] Fast ion conductors with a NASICON structure are materials with ultrafast ion conduction capabilities. They have abundant three-dimensional lithium-ion diffusion and transport channels and have advantages such as high ion conduction efficiency and strong structural stability during multiple de-lithiation and lithiation processes. Coating the surface of phosphate particles with a fast ion conductor containing a NASICON structure can significantly improve the transport rate of lithium ions during multiple de- / lithiation at the positive electrode, enhance the ion conductivity of the positive electrode active material, improve the fast charging ability of the single-cell battery, and in addition, can also increase the specific capacity and improve the energy density of the corresponding single-cell battery.
[0531] In some embodiments, the coating layer further includes elemental carbon.
[0532] The elemental carbon and the fast ion conductor can be arranged in layers. For example, the elemental carbon serves as an independent carbon coating layer, and the fast ion conductor serves as an independent fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the fast ion conductor layer is located on the surface of the carbon coating layer, that is, the fast ion conductor layer is located on the side of the carbon coating layer away from the phosphate particles. Or, the fast ion conductor layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the carbon coating layer is located on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer, that is, the carbon coating layer is located on the side of the fast ion conductor layer away from the phosphate particles. Of course, the elemental carbon and the fast ion conductor can also be arranged in the same layer.
[0533] Optionally, the carbon coating layer can be formed by carbonizing an organic carbon source (such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, etc.) on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can partially coat the fast ion conductor layer or completely coat the fast ion conductor layer. The setting of the carbon coating layer can significantly improve the electronic conductivity of the phosphate particles, make up for the defect of poor electronic conduction performance of the phosphate particles, and improve the energy density of the single-cell battery. Specifically, the setting of the carbon coating layer endows the positive electrode active material of the present application with the following advantages: The carbon coating layer in the positive electrode active material of the present application provides a suitable channel for the transport of electrons, can significantly improve the conduction rate of electrons during multiple de-lithiation and lithiation processes, enhance the electronic conductivity of lithium-containing phosphates, improve the charging ability of the corresponding single-cell battery, and can also increase the energy density.
[0534] The carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material of the present application has a porous structure, which enables the electrolyte to come into full and effective contact with the lithium-containing phosphates, thereby increasing the transport rate of lithium ions at the phase interface and improving the charging ability of the single-cell battery.
[0535] Coating a layer of carbon coating layer on the surface of lithium-containing phosphates can not only improve the conductivity of lithium-containing phosphates, but also enhance the structural stability of the positive electrode active material, effectively alleviate the iron dissolution phenomenon of the positive electrode active material during the long-term storage and cyclic use of the single-cell battery, thereby improving the cycle life of the single-cell battery. The positive electrode active material of the present application is based on lithium-containing phosphate, which fully exploits the advantages of low cost, high reliability in use, and good cycle stability of lithium-containing phosphate. At the same time, the coating layer (fast ion conductor layer and carbon coating layer) is used to solve the disadvantages of poor electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity. The single cell prepared from the positive electrode active material of the present application can improve the energy density of the single cell on the premise of excellent cycle performance.
[0536] In the embodiments of the present application, the content of elements in the positive electrode active material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, referring to EPA 6010D-2014, it is tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, instrument model: Thermo ICAP7400). After discharging the single cell to 0% state of charge (SOC) and disassembling the positive electrode plate, it is cleaned with DMC and dried, and then after removing impurities by high-temperature calcination, 0.4 g of the positive electrode active material is weighed, and 10 ml (50% concentration) of aqua regia is added thereto. Then it is placed on a flat plate at 180 °C for 30 min. After digestion on the flat plate, it is fixed to a volume of 100 mL, and quantitative testing is carried out by the standard curve method.
[0537] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15 to 0.32, and can be optionally 0.19 to 0.26.

[0538] When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, and thus reduce the heat generation of the single cell.
[0539] In the embodiments of the present application, the higher the graphitization degree of the material, the lower the degree of disorder, and it can be tested according to the test standard JIS / K 0131-1996 "General Rules for X-ray Diffraction Analysis Method".

[0542] Exemplarily, the mass content of carbon element in the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2% or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0543] Exemplarily, the specific surface area of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 7 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, 9 m 2 / g, 10 m 2 / g, 11 m 2 / g, 12 m 2 / g, 13 m 2 / g, 14 m 2 / g, 15 m 2 / g, 16 m 2 / g, 17 m 2 / g, 18 m 2 / g or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0544] Carbon element mainly exists in the material in the form of a carbon coating layer. The carbon coating layer is loose and porous, which is beneficial to increasing the specific surface area of the material, more beneficial to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the phosphate particles, and beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface. In addition, when the mass content of carbon element is within the above range, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure can be significantly improved, which is beneficial to enhancing the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, and can improve the rapid charging ability and energy density of the single cell.
[0545] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area of the material has the meaning well known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well known in the art. For example, it can be detected according to the test standard GB / T 19587-2017. Taking the positive electrode active material as the sample, the specific surface area is tested by the Tri-Star 3020 specific surface area and pore size analyzer of Micromeritics Company, USA.
[0546] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size of the positive electrode active material satisfies: 1 µm ≤ Dv50 ≤ 2 µm, 0.4 µm ≤ Dv10 ≤ 0.7 µm.

[0549] The particle size of the positive electrode active material is relatively small, the lithium deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, and the heat generation is less. Moreover, the particle size of the above positive electrode active material is not too small, and agglomeration basically does not occur during the processing and preparation process, making the performance of the positive electrode active material stable.

[0575] In the embodiments of the present application, porosity refers to the percentage of the pore volume in the separator to the total volume of the separator. The porosity can be tested in accordance with the standard GB / T36363-2018 "Polyolefin separator for single cell". It should be noted that the actual test process can be slightly different from the standard test process according to the difference in test instruments, test errors, and in order to eliminate the test influence on porosity as much as possible, so as to obtain a more accurate test value.

[0577] Optionally, the material of the base film can be polypropylene.
[0578] When the thickness of the base film is within the above range, the migration path of lithium ions in the base film is shorter, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the single cell and thus reduce heat generation.
[0579] In the embodiments of the present application, the separator can be a base film. Optionally, the separator further includes a functional layer provided on at least one side of the base film. The functional layer can include inorganic particles to improve the heat resistance of the separator. Optionally, the functional layer is provided on both sides of the base film.
[0580] In some embodiments, the functional layer includes a first functional layer and a second functional layer.

The second inorganic particles are attached to the surface of the non-fluoropolymer particles and / or dispersed inside the non-fluoropolymer particles.

[0584] In the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of the thickness of the base film is the meaning well-known in the art, and it can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art. For example, a newly prepared separator film can be taken as a sample, or a monomer cell that has been discharged (discharged to the lower cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery is about 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, the separator film is obtained from the monomer cell, and after drying the separator film, it is used as a sample. The separator film is cut by an ion beam cutter to form a cross-section. Subsequently, a scanning electron microscope is used to measure the thickness of the cross-section of the separator film and its respective layers.

The molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer can be any ratio, such as 35%:30%:15%:20%, or 40%:20%:10%:30%, or 45%:15%:20%:20%, etc.
[0586] The second inorganic particles in the composite particles prevent the non-fluoropolymer particles from easily adhering due to the high-temperature treatment during the granulation process, resulting in pores in the composite particles, which is beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions, improving the ion-conducting ability of the separator film. Moreover, the second inorganic particles can also increase the compression modulus of the composite particles. During the charge and discharge process, the composite particles are not easily deformed, making the structure of the separator film more stable, capable of improving the kinetic performance of the monomer cell and enhancing the fast-charging performance. Optionally, compared with the first functional layer, the second functional layer is disposed closer to the negative electrode tab. Since the composite particles are not easily deformed, the separator film basically does not cause side effects such as extrusion to the negative electrode tab, making the kinetic performance of the negative electrode tab stable. Correspondingly, the first functional layer is disposed closer to the positive electrode tab.
[0587] Optionally, the second inorganic particles include one or more of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, boehmite, barium sulfate, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide. Optionally, the second inorganic particles include silicon oxide. The above-mentioned second inorganic particles can improve the heat resistance of the second functional layer and can cooperate with the non-fluoropolymer to form composite particles, further improving the cycle stability and kinetic performance of the separator film, and improving the cycle performance and fast-charging performance of the monomer cell.

When the average particle size of the second inorganic particles is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the heat resistance and compression modulus of the composite particles.
[0589] In the embodiments of the present application, the average particle size of the second inorganic particles has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, after obtaining the separator and drying the separator as a sample, the separator is cut by an ion beam cutter to form a cross-section. Subsequently, a scanning electron microscope is used to measure the particle size of the second inorganic particles in the separator, and the particle sizes of multiple, for example, 50 second inorganic particles are measured, and the average value thereof is calculated as the average particle size of the second inorganic particles.
[0590] In some embodiments, the ionic conductivity of the separator is from 0.3 mS / cm to 0.6 mS / cm. Exemplarily, the ionic conductivity of the separator is 0.3 mS / cm, 0.35 mS / cm, 0.4 mS / cm, 0.45 mS / cm, 0.5 mS / cm, 0.55 mS / cm, 0.6 mS / cm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0591] When the ionic conductivity of the separator is within the above range, the migration ability of the separator to lithium ions can be further improved, and the fast charging performance of the single cell can be improved.
