This will not only shorten the battery life, but may also cause abnormal increase in internal battery pressure, increasing the risk of short circuit, thermal runaway and even explosion. At the same time, during the charging process, the battery also has serious polarization phenomena, which seriously affects the battery capacity retention rate and long charging time.

Finally, the same energy interaction module can realize heating, charging, discharging and energy recovery functions, effectively reducing the volume of the charging pile and saving hardware costs.

[0053] (5) Dynamically determine the constant voltage charging mode or constant current charging mode through the interactive message between the battery management system and the charging pile. Since no additional hardware circuit is required, the hardware complexity and failure rate are reduced, and the decoupling of the battery management algorithm and the charging pile execution layer is realized, achieving the purpose of optimal energy management and equipment protection; at the same time, the charging pile can charge the battery pack with constant voltage or constant current by adjusting the switch state of the mode switching switch and the main negative relay switch, realizing customized charging management of the battery, reducing the polarization effect and lithium plating risk, and achieving the purpose of adapting to the battery characteristics requirements; In addition, during the charging process, the BMS can dynamically adjust the interactive message according to the battery's state of charge to achieve intelligent switching between constant voltage mode and constant current mode, and / or dynamic configuration of constant voltage parameters or constant current parameters, which can improve charging efficiency and safety while extending battery life;

[0054] (6) The working mode of the mode conversion circuit is switched through interactive messages between the BMS and the charging pile, so that the charging pile can periodically adjust the charging and discharging current, charging and discharging time and other parameters. This not only improves the rationality, flexibility and intelligence of battery charging, but also improves charging safety while ensuring charging efficiency, thereby greatly extending the battery life;

[0055] (7) By setting up multiple energy storage modules, not only can the depolarization requirements of the battery be better met and the charging process be continuous and stable, but the energy in each capacitor can also be transferred to the same long-term energy storage medium to ensure the normal alternating operation of each energy storage module, thereby reducing the energy storage cost.

[0093] The following will describe the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification.

Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present application and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0098] In the field of modern battery technology, there are two main problems with charging vehicle batteries:

[0099] Question 1: Due to the differences in the hardware configuration of the heating systems of different models, some vehicles are only equipped with heating film, liquid cooling and liquid heating, etc., then under low-temperature charging conditions, not only is the heating speed slow, which is not conducive to battery charging, but the heating is also uneven, causing large temperature differences in various parts of the battery. This will not only shorten the battery life, but may also cause abnormal increase in internal battery pressure, increasing the risk of short circuit, thermal runaway and even explosion.

[0100] Problem 2: During battery charging, the battery's state of charge (SOC) and Li+ (lithium ion) distribution are uneven. Negative electrode particles near the SEI (solid electrolyte interface) membrane have a higher SOC and reach full charge faster; negative electrode particles farther from the SEI membrane have a lower SOC. Continuing to charge at a high rate will cause lithium deposition in the negative electrode particles near the SEI membrane, negatively impacting the battery's capacity retention and safety. Charging at a lower rate will result in a longer charging time.

[0101] The embodiment of the present application provides a mode conversion circuit. By integrating the mode conversion circuit at the charging pile end, the mode switching switch and the main negative relay switch are used to dynamically switch the working mode of the mode conversion circuit. On the basis of supporting the charging pile to perform DC charging of the battery, it also supports the coupling of pulse charging, pulse discharging and energy recovery through the energy interaction module to heat the battery or pulse charge. Therefore, firstly, the energy interaction module quickly heats the battery through pulse charging and discharging, without considering the hardware differences between different models, improving the heating speed and heating uniformity, and reducing the possibility of shortened life and thermal runaway due to uneven heating, thereby greatly extending the battery life and reducing operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, since there is no need to add additional heating devices to each vehicle, the cost of the entire vehicle is reduced. Secondly, during the heating process, the battery can be discharged through the energy interaction module, eliminating the inconsistency of the charge state distribution and lithium ion concentration distribution in the thickness direction of the battery, reducing the risk of lithium plating while ensuring the charging speed, greatly improving the polarization phenomenon under high charge state and ensuring the capacity retention rate. Thirdly, the energy interaction module can also recover the energy released by depolarization, improving charging efficiency and safety while avoiding energy waste. Finally, the same energy interaction module can realize heating, charging, discharging and energy recovery functions, effectively reducing the size of the charging pile and saving hardware costs. In addition, the negative terminal of the charging pile and the negative terminal of the battery are connected through the main negative relay switch, which not only realizes the automatic on-off control of the circuit, but also effectively protects the circuit from damage by reverse current.

[0102] Below, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0103] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a mode conversion circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , applied to charging piles, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mode conversion circuit 100 includes a mode switching switch K2, a main negative relay switch K3 and an energy interaction module 10, wherein:

[0104] The mode switching switch K2 is connected to the positive terminal A+ of the charging pile 200 and the positive terminal V+ of the vehicle's battery 300;

[0105] The main negative relay switch K3 is connected to the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 and the negative terminal V- of the battery 300 respectively;

[0106] The energy interaction module 10 is connected to the mode switching switch K2 and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 respectively;

[0107] When the mode switching switch K2 is closed and the main negative relay switch K3 is closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the DC charging mode to perform DC charging for the battery 300 through the charging pile 200;

[0108] When the mode switching switch K2 is not closed and the main negative relay switch K3 is closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the pulse heating mode or the pulse charging mode to perform pulse charging, pulse discharging and energy recovery between the charging pile 200 and the battery 300 through the energy interaction module 10, and perform pulse heating or pulse charging on the battery 300.

[0109] Here, the mode switch K2 can be any suitable switch capable of achieving this function, such as a relay switch, a diode, a transistor, an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), etc. In some embodiments, the mode switch K2 can be a relay switch, which not only reduces costs but is also particularly suitable for handling high currents or high voltages, with lower contact temperature rise and loss, faster response speed, and longer service life. In practice, by adjusting the open and closed state of the mode switch K2, the positive terminal A+ of the charging pile 200 and the positive terminal V+ of the battery 300 can be connected.

[0110] The main negative relay switch K3 primarily controls negative current, providing circuit isolation and reverse current protection, effectively protecting the circuit from reverse current damage. By adjusting the on / off state of the main negative relay switch K3, the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 and the negative terminal V- of the battery 300 can be connected.

[0111] DC charging, also known as fast charging, is a method that can quickly replenish a vehicle's battery. Its core is to convert AC power into DC power and supply it directly to the battery at high power.

[0112] During implementation, by controlling the mode switching switch K2 to be closed and the main negative relay switch K3 to be closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the DC charging mode to perform DC charging for the battery 300 through the charging pile 200. At this time, the current starts from A+, passes through K2, V+, V- and K3 in sequence, and finally returns to A-.

[0113] Throughout the charging process, the constant voltage or constant current provided by the charging station 200 can be dynamically changed. In some embodiments, when the battery is deeply discharged, constant current charging can be used to quickly replenish the battery; when the battery SOC is close to full charge, constant voltage charging can be switched to prevent overcharging.

[0114] In some embodiments, the DC charging parameters during the DC charging process can be adjusted based on the first message sent by the BMS. The DC charging parameters may include, but are not limited to, the type of DC charging mode, voltage value, current value, charging duration, etc. The types of DC charging modes include, but are not limited to, constant voltage charging mode, constant current charging mode, etc. The first message may carry DC charging parameters, first indication information, etc. The first indication information may be any suitable information that can indicate the DC charging parameters. By parsing the first message, the DC charging parameters can be determined. In some embodiments, the charging pile 200 can pre-set multiple DC charging parameters and determine the adapted DC charging parameters from the multiple DC charging parameters based on the first indication information in the first message.

[0115] In some embodiments, the DC charging mode includes a constant voltage charging mode or a constant current charging mode. When the mode switching switch K2 is closed and the main negative relay switch K3 is closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters a constant voltage charging mode to perform constant voltage charging for the battery 300 through the charging pile 200, or the mode conversion circuit 100 enters a constant current charging mode to perform constant current charging for the battery 300 through the charging pile 200; wherein, the constant voltage charging mode or the constant current charging mode is determined based on the first message sent by the battery management system of the vehicle.

[0116] Here, constant voltage charging mode maintains a constant voltage while charging, with the current decaying as the battery's SOC increases. This mode is suitable for later-stage battery charging to avoid overcharging risks. The constant voltage can be any suitable voltage, for example, 4.2V (volts). In some embodiments, the constant voltage can be determined based on the first message or other means.

[0117] Constant current charging mode maintains a constant current, with the voltage varying as the battery's SOC increases. This mode is suitable for initial charging and rapid charging. The constant current can be any suitable current, for example, 1A (ampere). In some embodiments, the constant current can be determined based on the first message or other means.

[0118] The first message may include any appropriate content. In some embodiments, the first message may include the type of DC charging mode. By parsing the first message, the type of DC charging mode required by the BMS can be obtained. In some embodiments, when the first message does not include the type of DC charging mode, the default constant voltage charging mode or constant current charging mode may be used as the type of DC charging mode.

[0119] During implementation, according to the DC charging parameters, the charging pile 200 performs energy output to perform constant voltage charging or constant current charging on the battery 300 .

[0120] In the implementation mode of the present application, on the one hand, the constant voltage charging mode or the constant current charging mode is dynamically determined through the interactive messages between the battery management system and the charging pile. Since no additional hardware circuit is required, the hardware complexity and failure rate are reduced, and the decoupling of the battery management algorithm and the charging pile execution layer is realized, thereby achieving the purpose of optimal energy management and equipment protection; on the other hand, the charging pile can charge the battery pack at a constant voltage or a constant current by adjusting the switching state of the mode switching switch and the main negative relay switch, thereby realizing customized charging management of the battery, reducing the polarization effect and the risk of lithium plating, and achieving the purpose of adapting to the battery characteristics requirements; on the other hand, during the charging process, the BMS can dynamically adjust the interactive messages according to the battery's state of charge to achieve intelligent switching between constant voltage mode and constant current mode, and / or dynamic configuration of constant voltage parameters or constant current parameters, thereby improving charging efficiency and safety while extending battery life.

[0121] In some embodiments, before charging the battery 300, the charging station 200 can interact with the BMS and determine the operating mode of the mode conversion circuit 100 through a second message sent by the BMS. The second message can carry the operating mode, second indication information, etc. The second indication information can be any suitable information that can indicate the operating mode. By parsing the second message, the operating mode can be determined. In some embodiments, the charging station 200 can pre-set multiple operating modes and determine the appropriate operating mode from the multiple operating modes based on the second indication information in the second message.

[0122] The working mode of the mode conversion circuit 100 may include but is not limited to a DC charging mode, a pulse heating mode, a pulse charging mode, etc. The pulse heating mode is mainly used to perform pulse heating on the battery 300, and is suitable for low-temperature charging conditions, preheating of the battery 300, etc., by using high-frequency current pulses to stimulate the internal resistance of the battery 300 to generate heat, and quickly increase the temperature of the battery 300. The pulse charging mode is mainly used to perform pulse charging on the battery 300, and is suitable for the battery 300 to be in a high SOC condition, etc., by using intermittent current input to achieve efficient power injection, while reducing polarization effects and heat accumulation. During implementation, both the pulse heating mode and the pulse charging mode can be achieved through high-frequency pulse charging and pulse discharging, the difference being the corresponding charge and discharge parameters during charging and discharging. In some embodiments, the charge and discharge parameters can be determined by a third message sent by the BMS, and the battery 300 can be pulse heated or pulse charged according to the charge and discharge parameters. The third message can carry charge and discharge parameters, third indication information, etc. The third indication information can be any suitable information that can indicate charge and discharge parameters. The charge and discharge parameters may include but are not limited to charge and discharge current, charge and discharge frequency, f, charge and discharge duty cycle D, etc. In some embodiments, the battery 300 may also be pulse heated or pulse charged according to default charge and discharge parameters. In some embodiments, the charging station 200 may preset multiple charge and discharge parameters and determine the appropriate charge and discharge parameters from the multiple charge and discharge parameters based on the third indication information in the third message.

[0123] The energy interaction module 10 can be any suitable circuit capable of implementing this function. In practice, when the mode switching switch K2 is not closed and the main negative relay switch K3 is closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the pulse heating mode or the pulse charging mode. In the pulse heating mode or the pulse charging mode, the energy interaction module 10 performs pulse heating or pulse charging on the battery 300 by cyclically performing pulse charging, pulse discharging, and energy recovery throughout the process. K2 not being closed means that K2 is in the disconnected state.

[0124] In some embodiments, the energy interaction module 10 may include but is not limited to at least one of at least one switch module, at least one inductor, at least one capacitor, etc. In some embodiments, the energy interaction module 10 may further include at least one electrical switch.

[0125] The switch module (including other switch modules mentioned below) can be any suitable module capable of performing on / off functions. For example, the switch module may include an IGBT, or an IGBT + a diode. Another example is a transistor, or a transistor + a diode. The states of the switch module may include, but are not limited to, a closed state and an open state. The closed state indicates that the switch module is in the on state, during which the switch module is operating normally. The open state indicates that the switch module is in the off state, during which the switch module is not operating.

[0126] The inductor (including other inductors mentioned below) can be of any suitable size, and the energy discharged from the battery can be recovered through the inductor. During implementation, those skilled in the art can independently set the size and number of inductors based on actual needs, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0127] The capacitor (including other capacitors mentioned below) can be of any suitable size. For example, the capacitor can be large to better recover energy, and can recover energy released by the inductor and / or energy during battery discharge through the capacitor. During implementation, those skilled in the art can independently determine the size and number of capacitors based on actual needs, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0128] The electrical switch may be any suitable switch, for example, a diode, a transistor, a single-pole switch, etc.

[0129] In some embodiments, the energy interaction module 10 includes a first switch module VT1 and an energy storage module 101. Figure 2 As shown, where:

[0130] The first switch module VT1 is connected to the mode switching switch K2 and the energy storage module 101 respectively;

[0131] The energy storage module 101 is connected to the first switch module VT1 and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 respectively;

[0132] When the first switch module VT1 is in a closed state, the battery 300 is pulse charged through the charging pile 200;

[0133] When the first switch module VT1 is in an open state, pulse charging, pulse discharging, and energy recovery are performed between the charging pile 200 and the battery 300 through the energy storage module 101 .

[0134] Here, VT1 can be any suitable module capable of performing on / off functions. VT1's on-time can be determined based on the third message sent by the BMS. In practice, in pulse heating mode, VT1's on-time is shorter; in pulse charging mode, VT1's on-time is longer.

[0135] Energy storage module 101 may be any suitable circuit capable of achieving this function. In some embodiments, energy storage module 101 includes at least one energy storage module. Energy storage module 101 may include at least one of at least one switch module, at least one inductor, at least one capacitor, etc. In some embodiments, energy storage module 101 may also include at least one electronic switch.

[0136] Since K2 is disconnected and K3 is closed, when VT1 is in the closed state, the current starts from A+, passes through VT1, V+, V- and K3 in sequence, and finally returns to A-, realizing pulse charging of the battery 300 by the charging pile 200.

[0137] When the pulse charging of the battery 300 is completed, the state of VT1 can be switched to an unclosed state to realize the discharge of the battery 300. During the discharge process of the battery 300, pulse charging, pulse discharging and energy recovery are realized through the energy storage module 101.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting up the first switch module, during the charging process, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of the first switch module to not only perform pulse charging for the battery, but also discharge the battery and recover the energy released by depolarization through the charging, discharging and energy recovery of the energy storage module, thereby achieving an optimized balance between charging efficiency, safety and energy management.

[0139] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 101 includes a second switch module VT2, a third switch module VT3, a fourth switch module VT4, a fifth switch module VT5, a seventh switch module VT7, a tenth switch module VT10 and a first energy storage module 1011. Figure 3 As shown, where:

[0140] The second switch module VT2 is connected to the positive terminal V+ of the battery 300 and the fourth switch module VT4 respectively;

[0141] The third switch module VT3 is connected to the positive terminal V+ of the battery 300 and the fifth switch module VT5 respectively;

[0142] The fourth switch module VT4 is connected to the second switch module VT2 and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 respectively;

[0143] The fifth switch module VT5 is connected to the third switch module VT3 and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 respectively;

[0144] The seventh switch module VT7 is connected to the second switch module VT2 and the first energy storage module 1011 respectively;

[0145] The tenth switch module VT10 is connected to the first energy storage module 1011 and the fifth switch module VT5 respectively;

[0146] When the states of all switch modules in the first switch module set are in the closed state and the states of all switch modules in the second switch module set are in the open state, the battery 300 is used to store energy for the first inductor L1 in the first energy storage module 1011. The first switch module set includes the second switch module VT2, the fifth switch module VT5, and the seventh switch module VT7. The second switch module set includes the third switch module VT3, the fourth switch module VT4, and the tenth switch module VT10.

[0147] When the states of all switch modules in the third switch module set are in a closed state and the states of all switch modules in the fourth switch module set are in an unclosed state, the battery 300 is used to store energy for the first capacitor C1 in the first energy storage module 1011. The third switch module set includes the second switch module VT2, the fifth switch module VT5, the seventh switch module VT7 and the tenth switch module VT10, and the fourth switch module set includes the third switch module VT3 and the fourth switch module VT4.

[0148] Here, VT2, VT3, VT4, VT5, VT7, and VT10 can be any suitable modules that can realize the on-off function, and their on-time can be determined according to the third message sent by the BMS.

[0149] The first energy storage module 1011 can be any suitable circuit capable of achieving this function. In some embodiments, the first energy storage module 1011 can include at least one of at least one switch module, at least one inductor, at least one capacitor, etc. In some embodiments, the first energy storage module 1011 can also include at least one electronic switch.

[0150] During implementation, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is in an unclosed state, and the battery 300 begins to discharge.

[0151] When VT2, VT5 and VT7 are all closed, and VT3, VT4 and VT10 are not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the L1 energy storage stage. The current starts from V+, passes through VT2, VT7, the first energy storage module 1011, VT5 and K3 in sequence, and then returns to V- to achieve depolarization of the battery 300 or uniform heat generation.

[0152] When VT2, VT5, VT7 and VT10 are all closed, and VT3 and VT4 are not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the C1 energy storage stage. The current starts from V+, passes through VT2, VT7, the first energy storage module 1011, VT10, VT5 and K3 in sequence, and returns to V- to achieve energy recovery and storage.

[0153] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 101 further includes D7 and D10, D7 is connected to VT7 and C1 / C2 / D10, respectively, and D10 is connected to C1 / C2 / D7 and VT10, respectively.

[0154] In the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, by arranging multiple switch modules in the energy storage module, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of each switch module, which can not only make the battery discharge drive the first inductor to store energy, so as to achieve the purpose of battery depolarization or pulse discharge uniform heat generation, but also make the battery and the first inductor drive the first capacitor to store and recover energy with a certain current, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering energy during battery depolarization or uniform heat generation, thereby achieving the optimal balance between safety and energy management; on the other hand, the conduction state of each switch module is switched periodically by pulses to control the discharge time of the battery, which greatly improves the uniformity of lithium ion distribution, extends battery life and reduces the risk of thermal runaway.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first energy storage module 1011 further includes a ninth switch module VT9 and an eleventh switch module VT11. Figure 4 As shown, where:

[0156] a ninth switch module VT9 connected to the first inductor L1 and the first capacitor C1 respectively;

[0157] an eleventh switch module VT11 connected to the first inductor L1 and the fifth switch module VT5 respectively;

[0158] The first inductor L1 is connected to the seventh switch module VT7 and the eleventh switch module VT11 respectively;

[0159] The first capacitor C1 is connected to the ninth switch module VT9 and the tenth switch module VT10 respectively;

[0160] When the ninth switch module VT9 is in a closed state and the eleventh switch module VT11 is in an open state, the first inductor L1 stores energy;

[0161] When the ninth switch module VT9 is in an open state and the eleventh switch module VT11 is in a closed state, the first capacitor C1 stores energy.

[0162] Here, VT9 and VT11 can be any suitable modules that can realize the on-off function, and their on-time can be determined according to the third message sent by the BMS. The size of L1 and C1 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0163] When L1 is storing energy, VT2, VT5, VT7 and VT9 are all closed, and VT3, VT4, VT10 and VT11 are not closed. The current starts from V+, passes through VT2, VT7, L1, VT11, VT5 and K3 in sequence, and returns to V-.

[0164] When C1 is storing energy, VT2, VT5, VT7, VT10 and VT11 are all closed, and VT3, VT4 and VT9 are not closed. The current starts from V+, passes through VT2, VT7, L1, VT9, C1, VT10, VT5 and K3 in sequence, and returns to V-.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first energy storage module 1011 further includes D9 and D11 , D9 is connected to L1 and VT9 , respectively, and D11 is connected to L1 and VT11 , respectively.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting two switch modules in the first energy storage module, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of the two switch modules to achieve switching between the first inductive energy storage and the first capacitive energy storage, giving full play to the complementary advantages of the two energy storage methods and achieving the purpose of battery depolarization and energy recovery.

[0167] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 101 further includes a second energy storage module 1012, such as Figure 5 As shown, where:

[0168] The seventh switch module VT7 and the tenth switch module VT10 are also connected to the second energy storage module 1012;

[0169] When the states of all switch modules in the fifth switch module set are in the closed state and the states of all switch modules in the sixth switch module set are in the open state, energy is continuously stored for the first capacitor C1 through the first inductor L1 and energy is stored for the second inductor L2 in the second energy storage module 1012 through the battery 300.

[0173] When VT3, VT4, and VT10 are all closed, and VT2, VT5, and VT7 are not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage phase for both C1 and L2. A current originates from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, the second energy storage module 1012, VT4, and K3, and returns to V- to store energy in L2. Since L1 is an inertial element and still has a magnetic field, to recover more energy, a freewheeling circuit is required for L1 to continue boosting C1. At this time, another current originates from L1, passes through VT9 and C1, and returns to L1 to continue storing energy in C1.

[0174] When VT3, VT4, VT7, and VT10 are all closed, and VT2 and VT5 are not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the C2 energy storage stage.

[0175] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, by arranging two different energy storage modules in the energy storage module, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of each switch module to switch the two energy storage modules to work alternately, so as to better meet the depolarization requirements of the battery and ensure the continuity and stability of the charging process; secondly, by adjusting the conduction state of each switch module, the charging pile can not only make the battery discharge drive the second inductor to store energy, so as to achieve the purpose of battery depolarization or pulse discharge uniform heat generation, but also make the first inductor continue to store energy for the first capacitor and the battery and the second inductor drive the second capacitor to store and recover energy with a certain current, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering energy during battery depolarization or uniform heat generation, thereby achieving the optimal balance between safety and energy management; finally, the conduction state of each switch module is switched periodically by pulses to control the discharge time of the battery, which greatly improves the uniformity of lithium ion distribution, extends battery life and reduces the risk of thermal runaway.

[0182] When the state of the sixth switch module VT6 is in an unclosed state and the state of the eighth switch module VT8 is in a closed state, the second capacitor stores energy.

[0183] Here, VT6 and VT8 can be any suitable modules that can realize the on-off function, and their on-time can be determined according to the third message sent by the BMS. The size of L2 and C2 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0184] When L2 is storing energy, VT3, VT4, VT6, VT9 and VT10 are all closed, and VT2, VT5, VT7, VT8 and VT11 are not closed, a current starts from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, VT6, VT4 and K3 in sequence, and returns to V-.

[0185] When C2 is storing energy, VT3, VT4, VT7, VT8 and VT10 are all closed, and VT2, VT5, VT6, VT9 and VT11 are not closed, a current starts from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, VT8, C2, VT7, VT4 and K3 in sequence, and returns to V-.

[0186] In some embodiments, the second energy storage module 1012 further includes D6 and D8, D6 is connected to VT6 and VT7, respectively, and D8 is connected to L2 and VT8, respectively.

[0187] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting two switch modules in the second energy storage module, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of the two switch modules to achieve switching between the second inductive energy storage and the second capacitive energy storage, giving full play to the complementary advantages of the two energy storage methods and achieving the purpose of battery depolarization and energy recovery.

In some embodiments, the third energy storage module 1013 can include at least one of at least one switch module, at least one inductor, at least one capacitor, etc. In some embodiments, the third energy storage module 1013 can also include at least one electronic switch.

[0194] In some embodiments, the third energy storage module 1013 may include a twelfth switch module VT12 and L3, wherein:

[0195] VT12 is connected to C1 and L3 respectively;

[0196] L3 is connected to the positive terminal X+ of the target energy storage medium 400 and VT12 respectively.

[0197] In some embodiments, the third energy storage module 1013 may further include D3 and D12. Figure 8 As shown, where:

[0203] During implementation, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is in an unclosed state, and the battery 300 continues to discharge.

[0204] When VT3, VT4, VT7, VT8, VT10, and VT12 are all closed, and VT2, VT5, VT6, VT9, and VT11 are all open, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the C2 and L3 energy storage phase. One current originates from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, VT8, C2, VT7, VT4, and K3, and returns to V-, storing energy in C2. Another current originates from the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400, passes through C1, VT12, L3, and D3, and returns to the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400, storing energy in L3.

[0205] When VT2, VT5, VT7, VT8, and VT11 are all closed, and VT3, VT4, VT6, VT9, VT10, and VT12 are all open, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage phase of L1, C2, and the target storage medium 400.

[0206] In the embodiment of the present application, by further providing a third energy storage module in the energy storage module, the charging pile can transfer the energy in the first capacitor to the long-term energy storage medium by adjusting the conduction state of each switch module, so as to ensure the normal alternating operation of the first energy storage module and the second energy storage module, thereby better meeting the depolarization requirements of the battery and ensuring the continuity and stability of the charging process.

[0207] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 101 further includes a fourth energy storage module 1014, such as Figure 9 As shown, where:

[0208] The fourth energy storage module 1014 is connected to the second capacitor C2 of the second energy storage module 1012 and the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400 respectively;

[0209] The second capacitor C2 is also connected to the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400;

[0210] When the states of all switch modules in the eleventh switch module set are in a closed state and the states of all switch modules in the twelfth switch module set are in an unclosed state, energy is stored in the first capacitor C1 through the battery 300, and energy is stored in the fourth inductor L4 in the fourth energy storage module 1014 through the second capacitor C2, so as to transfer the energy of the second capacitor C2 to the target storage medium 400. The eleventh switch module set includes the second switch module VT2, the fifth switch module VT5, the seventh switch module VT7, the ninth switch module VT9 and the tenth switch module VT10 in the first energy storage module 1011, and the twelfth switch module set includes the third switch module VT3, the fourth switch module VT4, the sixth switch module VT6 in the second energy storage module 1012, the eighth switch module VT8 in the second energy storage module 1012, and the eleventh switch module VT11 in the first energy storage module 1011.

[0211] When the states of all switch modules in the thirteenth switch module set are in a closed state and the states of all switch modules in the fourteenth switch module set are in an unclosed state, energy is continued to be stored for the first capacitor C1 through the first inductor L1, energy is stored for the second inductor L2 through the battery 300, and energy is stored for the target storage medium 400 through the fourth inductor L4. The thirteenth switch module set includes the third switch module VT3, the fourth switch module VT4, the sixth switch module VT6 in the second energy storage module 1012, the ninth switch module VT9 and the tenth switch module VT10 in the first energy storage module 1011, and the fourteenth switch module set includes the second switch module VT2, the fifth switch module VT5, the seventh switch module VT7, the eighth switch module VT8 in the second energy storage module 1012, the eleventh switch module VT11 in the first energy storage module 1011, the twelfth switch module VT12 in the third energy storage module 1013, and the thirteenth switch module VT13 in the fourth energy storage module 1014.

[0212] Here, the fourth energy storage module 1014 can be any suitable circuit capable of achieving this function. In some embodiments, the fourth energy storage module 1014 can include at least one of at least one switch module, at least one inductor, at least one capacitor, etc. In some embodiments, the fourth energy storage module 1014 can also include at least one electronic switch.

[0213] In some embodiments, the fourth energy storage module 1014 may include a thirteenth switch module VT13 and L4, wherein:

[0214] VT13 is connected to C2 and L4 respectively;

[0215] L4 is connected to the positive terminal X+ of the target energy storage medium 400 and VT13 respectively.

[0216] In some embodiments, the fourth energy storage module 1014 may further include D4 and D13. Figure 10 As shown, where:

[0217] D4 is connected to the positive terminal X+ and L4 of the target energy storage medium 400 respectively;

[0218] L4 is connected to D4 and VT13 respectively;

[0219] VT13 is connected to L4 and C2 respectively;

[0220] C2 is connected to the negative terminal X- of VT13 and the target energy storage medium 400 respectively;

[0221] D13 is connected to L4 and the negative terminal X− of the target energy storage medium 400 , respectively.

[0222] During implementation, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is in an unclosed state, and the battery 300 continues to discharge.

[0223] When VT2, VT5, VT7, VT9, VT10, and VT13 are all closed, and VT3, VT4, VT6, VT8, and VT11 are not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage phase of C1 and L4. One current originates from V+, passes through VT2, VT7, L1, VT9, C1, VT10, VT5, and K3, and returns to V-, storing energy in C1. Another current originates from the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400, passes through C2, VT13, L4, and D4, and returns to the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400, storing energy in L4.

[0224] When VT3, VT4, VT6, VT9, and VT10 are all closed, and VT2, VT5, VT7, VT8, VT11, VT12, and VT13 are all open, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage phase involving C1, L2, and the target storage medium 400. The first current originates from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, VT6, VT4, and K3, and returns to V-, storing energy in L2. Since L1 is an inertial element and still maintains a magnetic field, a freewheeling circuit is required to continue boosting C1 to recover more energy. At this point, the second current originates from L1, passes through VT9 and C1, and returns to L1, continuing to store energy in C1. The third current originates from the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400, passes through D13, L4, and D4, and returns to the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400, storing energy in the target storage medium 400.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, by further providing a fourth energy storage module in the energy storage module, the charging pile can transfer the energy in the second capacitor to the long-term energy storage medium by adjusting the conduction state of each switch module, so as to ensure the normal alternating operation of the first energy storage module and the second energy storage module, thereby better meeting the depolarization requirements of the battery and ensuring the continuity and stability of the charging process; on the other hand, by releasing energy to the same energy storage medium through the first capacitor and the second capacitor, the energy storage cost is reduced.

[0226] In some embodiments, the mode conversion circuit 100 further includes a pre-charge switch K1, a pre-charge resistor R1 and a bus capacitor C3. Figure 11 As shown, where:

[0227] The pre-charge switch K1 and the pre-charge resistor R1 are connected to the positive terminal A+ of the charging pile 200 and the mode switching switch K2 respectively;

[0228] The bus capacitor C3 is connected to the pre-charge switch K1 and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 respectively;

[0229] When the pre-charging switch K1 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the pre-charging mode to pre-charge the bus capacitor C3 through the charging pile 200 .

[0230] Here, the pre-charge switch K1 may be any suitable switch capable of achieving this function, such as a relay switch, a diode, a transistor, an IGBT, etc. In some embodiments, the pre-charge switch K1 may be a relay switch.

[0231] The size of the pre-charging resistor R1 can be any appropriate resistance value. During implementation, those skilled in the art can independently set the size of R1 according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0232] The size of the bus capacitor C3 can be any suitable capacitor. During implementation, those skilled in the art can independently set the size of C3 according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0233] When the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the DC charging mode, it first performs pre-charging and then performs DC charging on the battery 300, that is, it first disconnects K1 to enter the pre-charging mode, and then closes K1 when C3 is fully charged.

[0234] After the mode conversion circuit 100 enters the pulse heating mode or the pulse charging mode, if it enters the charging stage for the first time (or the first stage, that is, the charging pile 200 performs pulse charging on the battery 300), K1 is first disconnected to enter the pre-charging mode. When C3 is in a full state, K1 is closed again, and the subsequent second stage (that is, energy storage of L1), third stage (that is, energy storage of C1), fourth stage (energy storage of C1 and L2), fifth stage (that is, energy storage of C2 and L3), sixth stage (that is, energy storage of L1, C2 and the target storage medium 400), seventh stage (that is, energy storage of C1 and L4), eighth stage (that is, energy storage of C1, L2 and the target storage medium 400), first stage, second stage... are sequentially entered into a cycle until charging is completed.

[0235] In the embodiment of the present application, before heating or charging the battery, the charging pile pre-charges the bus capacitor through a pre-charging resistor to slowly establish a voltage gradient using the pre-charging resistor, which not only avoids the generation of instantaneous large current during direct conduction and protects various components in the circuit from stress damage, but also makes the voltage of the bus capacitor gradually approach the battery terminal voltage, so as to reduce the voltage difference when the main negative relay is closed to a safe range, extend the life of various components, and achieve the purpose of hardware protection and safety enhancement.

[0236] Figure 12 A schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a mode conversion circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 12 As shown, the mode conversion circuit 100 includes K1, K2, K3, R1, VT1-VT13, L1-L4, C1-C3, D1, D3, D4 and D6-D13, wherein:

[0237] 1) For DC charging mode

[0238] When VT1 to VT13 are not closed, and K1, K2, and K3 are all closed, the positive terminal A+ of the charging pile 200 is connected to the positive terminal V+ of the battery 300, and the negative terminal A- of the charging pile 200 is connected to the negative terminal V- of the battery 300. The current starts from A+, passes through K1, K2, V+, V-, and K3 in sequence, and then returns to A-. Figure 13 Before performing DC charging, K1 can be disconnected, causing the mode conversion circuit 100 to enter pre-charging mode, allowing the charging station 200 to pre-charge C3. At this time, the current starts from A+, passes through R1 and C3 in sequence, and finally returns to A-. When C3 is fully charged, K1 is closed again, allowing the charging station 200 to perform DC charging on the battery 300.

[0239] 2) For pulse charging mode or pulse heating mode, there are eight stages (i.e., stage 1 to stage 8)

[0240] (1) Phase 1

[0241] When K1 is closed, K2 is open, K3 is closed, VT1 is closed, and VT2 to VT13 are not closed, the charging pile 200 performs pulse charging on the battery 300. The current starts from A+ and passes through K1, D1, VT1, V+, V- and K3 in sequence before returning to A-. Figure 14 When entering the first stage for the first time, K1 can be disconnected, causing the mode conversion circuit 100 to enter the pre-charge mode, so that C3 can be pre-charged through the charging pile 200. At this time, the current starts from A+, passes through R1 and C3 in sequence, and finally returns to A-. When C3 is fully charged, K1 is closed again, causing the charging pile 200 to pulse charge the battery 300.

[0242] (2) Second stage

[0243] When K1 is disconnected, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is not closed, VT2 is closed, VT3 is not closed, VT4 is not closed, VT5 is closed, VT6 is not closed, VT7 is closed, VT8 is not closed, VT9 is not closed, VT10 is not closed, VT11 is closed, VT12 is not closed, and VT13 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the L1 energy storage stage. The current starts from V+ and passes through VT2, VT7, L1, D11, VT11, VT5 and K3 in sequence before returning to V-. Figure 15 As shown, the discharge of battery 300 drives L1 to store energy, and the loop current increases exponentially, thereby achieving the purpose of depolarization of battery 300 or uniform heat generation.

[0244] (3) The third stage

[0245] When K1 is disconnected, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is not closed, VT2 is closed, VT3 is not closed, VT4 is not closed, VT5 is closed, VT6 is not closed, VT7 is closed, VT8 is not closed, VT9 is closed, VT10 is closed, VT11 is not closed, VT12 is not closed, and VT13 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the C1 energy storage stage. The current starts from V+ and passes through VT2, VT7, L1, D9, VT9, C1, D10, VT10, VT5 and K3 in sequence before returning to V-. Figure 16 The battery 300 and L1 drive C1 to store and recover energy with a certain current, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering and storing energy during the depolarization or uniform heat generation process of the battery 300.

[0246] (4) The fourth stage

[0247] When K1 is disconnected, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is not closed, VT2 is not closed, VT3 is closed, VT4 is closed, VT5 is not closed, VT6 is closed, VT7 is not closed, VT8 is not closed, VT9 is closed, VT10 is closed, VT11 is not closed, VT12 is not closed, and VT13 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage stage of C1 and L2, such as Figure 17 As shown in the figure, one current originates from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, VT6, D6, VT4, and K3, and returns to V-, storing energy in L2. Another current originates from L1, passes through D9, VT9, C1, and D7, and returns to L1, continuing to store energy in C1. Because L1 is an inertial component and still has a magnetic field, it is necessary to provide a freewheeling circuit for L1 to continue boosting C1 in order to recover more energy.

[0248] (5) Fifth stage

[0249] When K1 is disconnected, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is not closed, VT2 is not closed, VT3 is closed, VT4 is closed, VT5 is not closed, VT6 is not closed, VT7 is closed, VT8 is closed, VT9 is not closed, VT10 is closed, VT11 is not closed, VT12 is closed, and VT13 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage stage of C2 and L3, such as Figure 18 As shown in Figure 1, one current originates from V+, passes through VT3, VT10, L2, D8, VT8, C2, D7, VT7, VT4, and K3, and returns to V-, storing energy in C2. Another current originates from the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400, passes through C1, VT12, L3, and D3, and returns to the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400, storing energy in L3. After C1 is boosted, the energy in C1 needs to be transferred to the target storage medium 400 to ensure normal alternating operation between the first energy storage module 1011 and the second energy storage module 1012.

[0250] (6) Sixth stage

[0251] When K1 is disconnected, K2 is disconnected, K3 is closed, VT1 is not closed, VT2, VT3 are not closed, VT4 is not closed, VT5, VT6 are not closed, VT7, VT8, VT9 are not closed, VT10 is not closed, VT11, VT12 are not closed, and VT13 is not closed, the mode conversion circuit 100 is in the energy storage stage of L1, C2 and the target energy storage medium 400, as shown in FIG. Figure 19As shown in Figure 1, the first current originates from V+ and passes through VT2, VT7, L1, D11, VT11, VT5, and K3, before returning to V- to store energy in L1. The second current originates from L2 and passes through D8, VT8, C2, and D10, before returning to L2 to store energy in C2. This is because L2 still has a magnetic field. Considering the characteristics of capacitor elements, the freewheeling circuit of the second energy storage module 1012 continuously increases the voltage of C2 to achieve energy recovery. The third current originates from the negative terminal X- of the target storage medium 400, passes through D12, L3, and D3, and returns to the positive terminal X+ of the target storage medium 400 to store energy in the target storage medium 400. Although the first energy storage module 1011 and the second energy storage module 1012 need to operate alternately, VT12 does not need to be disconnected immediately after the C2 energy storage phase ends. It only needs to be disconnected before the C1 energy storage phase (when C2 discharges into the target storage medium 400) begins. After VT12 is disconnected, the third energy storage module 1013 will enter the boost phase, and L3 will continue to boost and charge the target storage medium 400, thereby achieving maximum energy recovery.

[0258]

[0259] In the pulse heating mode or the pulse charging mode, the mode conversion circuit 100 performs pulse charging or pulse heating on the battery 300 by cyclically executing the eight stages.

[0260] In the embodiment of the present application, a mode conversion circuit is integrated at the charging pile end, and a mode switching switch and a main negative relay switch are used to dynamically switch the working mode of the mode conversion circuit. On the basis of supporting the charging pile to perform DC charging of the battery, it also supports the coupling of pulse charging, pulse discharging and energy recovery through the energy interaction module to heat the battery or pulse charge. Therefore, firstly, the energy interaction module quickly heats the battery through pulse charging and discharging, without considering the hardware differences between different models, thereby improving the heating speed and heating uniformity, and reducing the possibility of shortened life and thermal runaway due to uneven heating, thereby greatly extending the battery life and reducing operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, Because there is no need to add additional heating devices to each vehicle, the cost of the entire vehicle is reduced; secondly, during the heating process, the battery can be discharged through the energy interaction module, eliminating the inconsistency of the charge state distribution and lithium ion concentration distribution in the thickness direction of the battery, reducing the risk of lithium plating while ensuring the charging speed, greatly improving the polarization phenomenon under high charge state and ensuring the capacity retention rate; thirdly, the energy interaction module can also recover the energy released by depolarization, improving charging efficiency and safety while avoiding energy waste; finally, the same energy interaction module can realize heating, charging, discharging and energy recovery functions, effectively reducing the size of the charging pile and saving hardware costs. In addition, the negative terminal of the charging pile and the negative terminal of the battery are connected through the main negative relay switch, which not only realizes the automatic on-off control of the circuit, but also effectively protects the circuit from damage caused by reverse current.

[0261] Based on the above embodiment, the present application also provides a charging pile. Figure 22 A schematic diagram of the structure of a charging pile provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 22 As shown, the charging pile 200 includes a mode conversion unit 210 and a control unit 220. The mode conversion unit 210 includes any of the above-mentioned mode conversion circuits 100, wherein:

[0262] The control unit 220 is connected to the mode conversion unit 210 and is used to control the mode conversion circuit 100 to enter the target operating mode based on the second message sent by the vehicle's battery management system; the target operating mode includes a DC charging mode, a pulse heating mode or a pulse charging mode.

[0263] Here, the control unit 220 may be any suitable unit capable of implementing this function, such as a microcontroller unit (MCU) or a central processing unit (CPU). The operating modes of the mode conversion circuit 100 may include, but are not limited to, a DC charging mode, a pulse heating mode, and a pulse charging mode.

[0264] The second message may carry an operating mode, a second indication information, etc. The second indication information may be any suitable information that can indicate an operating mode. During implementation, the control unit 220 may determine the target operating mode by parsing the second message. In some embodiments, the charging pile 200 may also pre-set multiple operating modes, and determine an adapted operating mode from the multiple operating modes based on the second indication information in the second message. In some embodiments, a correspondence between each second indication information and each operating mode may be established in advance, and based on the correspondence, the operating mode adapted to the second indication information may be determined.

[0265] In some embodiments, the control unit 220 is also used for at least one of the following: based on a first message sent by the battery management system, controlling the mode conversion circuit 100 to enter a constant voltage charging mode or a constant current charging mode, so that the mode conversion circuit 100 performs DC charging for the battery according to the target voltage or target current; based on a third message sent by the battery management system, switching the current direction of the mode conversion circuit 100 within the target cycle to perform pulse charging and pulse discharging on the battery 300.

[0266] Here, after determining that the operating mode of the mode conversion circuit 100 is the DC charging mode, the first message sent by the BMS further determines whether to enter the constant voltage charging mode or the constant current charging mode. The first message may carry DC charging parameters, first indication information, etc. The first indication information can be any suitable information that can indicate the DC charging parameters. DC charging parameters may include, but are not limited to, the DC charging mode type, voltage value, current value, charging duration, etc. In implementation, the control unit 200 parses the first message to determine the DC charging mode type and target voltage / target current. It is understood that when the DC charging mode is the constant voltage charging mode, the first message may also carry the target voltage; when the DC charging mode is the constant current charging mode, the first message may also carry the target current. In some embodiments, the charging station 200 may pre-set multiple DC charging parameters and determine the appropriate DC charging parameters from the multiple DC charging parameters based on the first indication information in the first message.

In some embodiments, the charging pile 200 can pre-set multiple charge and discharge parameters and determine the appropriate charge and discharge parameters from the multiple charge and discharge parameters based on the third indication information in the third message. In implementation, the main difference between the pulse charging mode and the pulse heating mode is the charging time. The pulse heating mode is based on the resistance characteristics of the battery to generate Joule heat in each battery. Generally, the pulse heating mode has a shorter charging duration, while the pulse charging mode can specifically configure the charging time based on the charge and discharge parameters sent by the BMS. It is understood that both the pulse heating mode and the pulse charging mode include multiple phases, and throughout the entire process, the mode conversion circuit 100 will enter pulse charging, pulse discharging, and energy recovery. In implementation, the control unit 220 controls the mode conversion circuit 100 to perform pulse heating or pulse charging on the battery 300. For details, please refer to the specific implementation of the mode conversion circuit embodiment described above.

[0268] In the implementation mode of the present application, on the one hand, first, the constant voltage charging mode or constant current charging mode is dynamically determined through the interactive message between the BMS and the charging pile. Since no additional hardware circuit is required, the hardware complexity and failure rate are reduced, and the decoupling of the battery management algorithm and the charging pile execution layer is realized, thereby achieving the purpose of optimal energy management and equipment protection; secondly, the charging pile can charge the battery pack with constant voltage or constant current by adjusting the switching state of the mode switching switch and the main negative relay switch, thereby realizing customized charging management of the battery, reducing polarization effect and lithium plating risk, and achieving the purpose of adapting to battery characteristic requirements; finally, during the charging process, the BMS can dynamically adjust the interactive message according to the battery's state of charge to achieve intelligent switching between constant voltage mode and constant current mode, and / or dynamic configuration of constant voltage parameters or constant current parameters, thereby improving charging efficiency and safety while extending battery life. On the other hand, the working mode of the mode conversion circuit is switched through interactive messages between the BMS and the charging pile, so that the charging pile can periodically adjust parameters such as the charging and discharging current and charging and discharging time. This not only improves the rationality, flexibility and intelligence of battery charging, but also improves charging safety while ensuring charging efficiency, thereby greatly extending battery life.

[0320] In the implementation manner of the present application, on the one hand, by setting the first switch module, during the charging process, the charging pile can adjust the conduction state of the first switch module, not only to perform pulse charging for the battery, but also to discharge the battery and recover the energy released by depolarization through the charging, discharging and energy recovery of the energy storage module, thereby achieving an optimized balance between charging efficiency, safety and energy management; on the other hand, the conduction time of the first switch module is dynamically determined through the interactive message between the BMS and the charging pile to adapt to the charging requirements of different BMSs, thereby improving the accuracy and flexibility of the conduction time, thereby reducing the fluctuation of voltage or current during the charging process.

[0321] In some embodiments, the control method further includes step S248, wherein:

[0322] Step S248: During a target time period, control the states of all switch modules in the first target switch module set to be in a closed state and the states of all switch modules in the second target switch module set to be in an open state, so as to store energy for the target object of the energy storage module; wherein the target time period is determined based on the third message.
