[0035] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a charging control system for a pure electric light truck provided in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0037] In view of the problem of low energy replenishment efficiency of current pure electric vehicles, the present invention provides a charging control method and system for a pure electric light truck, which solves the problem of low energy replenishment efficiency of existing pure electric light trucks, can improve the charging efficiency of the vehicle, and meet the demand for ultra-fast charging of the vehicle.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a charging control method for a pure electric light truck includes:

[0039] S1: Set up dual charging CAN circuits in the vehicle power battery management system BMS, corresponding to the main charging circuit and the auxiliary charging circuit respectively;

[0040] S2: A main charging socket and an auxiliary charging socket are set up, the main charging gun is directly electrically connected to the power battery module through the main charging socket to form a main charging circuit, and the auxiliary charging gun is electrically connected to the all-in-one control box through the auxiliary charging socket to form an auxiliary charging circuit.

[0041] S3: When the charging gun is plugged into the charging pile, the battery management system identifies the plug-in signals of the main charging gun and the auxiliary charging gun according to the CC signal, and then determines the single-gun charging mode or the dual-gun charging mode.

[0042] S4: Wake up the battery management system BMS and vehicle controller VCU according to the duty cycle of the CP signal sent by the charging pile, and perform charging current distribution control according to the single-gun charging mode or the dual-gun charging mode.

[0043] Specifically, the main charging socket matches the main charging gun, which is directly connected to the inside of the battery pack. The high-voltage electrical components inside the battery are designed to have an overcurrent of 400A to form a main charging circuit. The auxiliary charging socket matches the auxiliary charging gun, which is a mass-produced model. It is connected to the all-in-one control box, and the overcurrent capacity remains at 250A to form an auxiliary charging circuit. During charging, the battery management system judges the plug-in signals of the main charging gun and the auxiliary charging gun according to the CC signal to determine the single-gun charging mode or the dual-gun charging mode, and wakes up the BMS and VCU according to the CP signal to control the charging current distribution of the main charging circuit and the auxiliary charging circuit to quickly charge the power battery module. This method can improve the charging efficiency of the vehicle and meet the needs of ultra-fast charging of the vehicle.

[0044] The method further includes: setting the maximum overcurrent threshold of the main charging gun to 400 A and the maximum overcurrent threshold of the auxiliary charging gun to 250 A; when the main charging gun is charging alone, the battery management system BMS requests the pile current to take the smaller value of 400 A and the current corresponding to the 2C charging rate; when the auxiliary charging gun is charging alone, the battery management system BMS requests the pile current to take the smaller value of 250 A and the current corresponding to the 2C charging rate.

[0045] The method further includes: when the main charging gun or the auxiliary charging gun is charging, if it is recognized that the other charging gun starts charging, the charging current is the current value corresponding to the 2C charging rate, the charging current of the auxiliary charging gun is allocated to 250 A, and the rest is allocated to the main charging gun.

[0046] The method further includes: when the main charging gun is charging alone, the battery management system BMS and the vehicle controller VCU are woken up according to the charging A+ signal of the national standard charging standard to complete the wake-up of the main charging gun.

[0047] The method further includes: when the auxiliary charging gun is charging alone, the battery management system BMS wakes up by identifying the CC signal of the auxiliary charging gun, and the vehicle controller VCU wakes up by identifying the charging signal A+ to complete the wake-up of the auxiliary charging gun.

[0048] In practical applications, as Figure 2 shown, when the main charging gun is inserted alone, the BMS / VCU is activated according to the national standard charging standard A+ to enter the national standard charging process; when the auxiliary charging gun is inserted alone, the BMS identifies the CC gun insertion signal to enter the BMS wake-up, and the VCU still identifies the A+ wake-up recognition to enter the national standard fast charging process; the internal wake-up and response of the BMS are distinguished in the above two methods. When the vehicle is woken up by the main charging gun and during the charging process, if the CC gun insertion signal of the auxiliary charging gun is recognized, it enters the dual-gun charging mode. Similarly, when the vehicle is woken up by the auxiliary charging gun and during the charging process, if the CC gun insertion signal of the main charging gun is recognized, it enters the dual-gun charging mode.

[0049] The method further includes: when the vehicle is woken up by the main charging gun and the CC signal of the auxiliary charging gun is recognized during the charging process, it enters the dual-gun charging mode.

[0050] The method further includes: when the vehicle is woken up by the auxiliary charging gun and the CC signal of the main charging gun is recognized during the charging process, it enters the dual-gun charging mode.

[0051] It can be seen that the present invention provides a charging control method for a pure electric light truck, which provides a dual charging CAN circuit in the battery management system BMS, corresponding to the main charging gun and the auxiliary charging gun respectively, and then performs charging current distribution control according to the single-gun charging mode or the dual-gun charging mode. It solves the problem of low energy replenishment efficiency of existing pure electric light trucks and electric vehicles, can improve the charging efficiency of vehicles, and meet the needs of ultra-fast charging of vehicles.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a charging control system for a pure electric light truck, using the above-mentioned charging control method, including: a main charging gun socket, an auxiliary charging gun socket and an all-in-one control box. The power battery pack of the vehicle is electrically connected to the all-in-one control box, and the all-in-one control box is provided with a multi-way power supply circuit to power the vehicle's electrical equipment; the main charging gun socket is electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power battery pack respectively to form a main charging circuit; the auxiliary charging gun socket is electrically connected to one power supply circuit of the all-in-one control box to form an auxiliary charging circuit; the battery management system BMS is signal-connected to the main charging gun socket and the auxiliary charging gun socket respectively through the CAN bus.

[0054] In actual applications, the 400A power supply circuit supplies power to the drive motor, the 250A power supply circuit is electrically connected to the auxiliary charging socket, the 200A power supply circuit is used as a reserved power supply for the upper body, the 40A power supply circuit supplies power to the compressor, heater, passenger compartment heating equipment and air conditioning system respectively, and the 25A power supply circuit supplies power to the DC / DC module to convert 24V direct current. Relays need to be set in each power supply circuit, and the relays are connected to the vehicle controller or BMS signal to control the on and off of the power supply circuit.

[0055] Furthermore, a fast charging positive relay and a fast charging negative relay are provided in the main charging circuit and the auxiliary charging circuit, and the battery management system BMS is respectively connected to the control end signals of the fast charging positive relay and the fast charging negative relay to control the on and off of the main charging circuit and the auxiliary charging circuit.

[0056] In actual applications, in order to improve the efficiency of fast charging, a dual charging gun solution is designed based on the original product. The main charging socket matches the main charging gun, and the socket is directly connected to the inside of the battery pack. The high-voltage electrical components inside the battery are designed to have an overcurrent of 400A. The auxiliary charging socket matches the auxiliary charging gun, which is a mass-produced model. When connected to the all-in-one high-voltage box, the overcurrent capacity remains at 250A.

[0057] It can be seen that the present invention provides a charging control system for a pure electric light truck. By setting a dual-charging CAN loop in the battery management system BMS, corresponding to the main charging gun and the auxiliary charging gun respectively, the charging current distribution control is carried out according to the single-gun charging mode or the dual-gun charging mode. The problem of low energy replenishment efficiency of existing pure electric light truck electric vehicles is solved, the charging efficiency of the vehicle can be improved, and the need for ultra-fast charging of the vehicle can be met.
