Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle charging control, specifically to a charging heating control method, device, vehicle, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] In existing technology, battery heating for new energy vehicles typically utilizes heating films and liquid heating. The current mainstream charging heating technology compares the battery charging map current with the charging station input current. If the battery temperature does not reach the temperature range for the battery's maximum allowable charging current, the battery is heated. However, this charging heating method relies on the heating capacity of the heating hardware itself. Whether using a heating liquid or a heating film, peak heating power is required to heat the battery. Excessive peak heating power can pose thermal safety risks. Therefore, the peak heating power used in existing technology is typically low, for example, limited to 3kW-5kW. However, this low peak heating power is less efficient at low temperatures, resulting in lower charging currents at low temperatures. As the battery's real-time SOC increases, the required charging current begins to decrease. For users, the battery's charging current and charging time throughout the charging process do not meet the manufacturer's advertised current or time, leading to numerous customer complaints.

[0071] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The detailed description is complete, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Obvious variations and alternative forms of the following examples are all within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a charging heating control method, wherein a PWM switch is connected between a heating element of a power battery and a high-voltage bus, and the charging heating control method includes:

[0073] S101, during vehicle charging, determining a charging and heating mode currently being executed by the vehicle;

[0074] S102, in the charging and heating mode, obtaining the total voltage of the power battery, the resistance of the heating element, the temperature of the heating element, the PWM switch temperature, and the maximum allowable heating power of the heating element in the target heating mode;

[0075] S103, determining a heating current of the heating element in the charging and heating mode according to the maximum allowable heating power, the total voltage of the power battery, the resistance of the heating element, the temperature of the heating element, and the PWM switch temperature;

[0076] S104 , adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM switch so that the heating element heats the battery according to the heating current.

[0077] The PWM switch is used to control the heating current of the heating element, thereby controlling the heating power of the heating element. Furthermore, the heating element in the embodiments of the present application uses a relatively high peak heating power, specifically greater than 5 kW, such as 6 kW, 7 kW, or even 10 kW. The selected heating element may be, for example, a heating film or a PTC heater.

[0078] Among them, combined Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, after the high voltage start on the vehicle, the battery management system BMS will start to run, real-time monitoring and processing (corresponding to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Steps S201-S202 in the figure); then, the battery management system determines the charging and heating mode currently executed by the vehicle in the following manner:

[0079] 1) If the vehicle is currently in a slow charging state, the vehicle's battery SOC is lower than the preset SOC and the vehicle's battery temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it is determined that the vehicle is currently executing the first charging and heating mode (corresponding to Figure 2 S203, S217, S218, and S219 in the );

[0080] 2) If the vehicle is currently in a slow charging state, the vehicle's battery SOC is higher than the preset SOC and the vehicle's battery temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, it is determined that the vehicle is currently executing the second charging and heating mode; the first preset temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, (corresponding to Figure 2 S203, S204, S205 and S206 in (a);

[0081] 3) If the vehicle is currently in fast charging state, the user has not turned on the fast charging function and the battery temperature of the vehicle is lower than the third preset temperature, it is determined that the charging and heating mode currently being executed by the vehicle is the third charging and heating mode (corresponding to Figure 3 S230, S231, and S232 in the );

[0082] 4) If the vehicle is currently in a fast charging state, the user turns on the fast charging function and the battery temperature of the vehicle is lower than the fourth preset temperature, it is determined that the charging and heating mode currently being executed by the vehicle is the fourth charging and heating mode; the third preset temperature is lower than the fourth preset temperature, (corresponding to Figure 3 S230, S236 and S237 in the .

[0083] Among them, the first charging heating mode and the second charging heating mode are set for the slow charging state.

[0084] When the vehicle is in slow charging mode, it indicates that there is ample time for charging. If the battery SOC is low at this time, it indicates that the battery is insufficient and the battery temperature needs to be raised as soon as possible to ensure charging efficiency and prevent low temperatures from significantly affecting battery charging performance, so that the battery can charge normally and efficiently. The first preset temperature is set to activate the heating mode in advance when the battery temperature is too low, ensuring a smooth charging process and preventing charging interruptions or low charging efficiency due to low temperatures, which could affect the normal use of the vehicle and the completion of the charging plan.

[0085] In this embodiment of the present application, the first preset temperature is a relatively low temperature, such as -15°C. The preset SOC is set based on the charge cutoff SOC, for example, the product of the charge cutoff SOC and a preset percentage. Assuming the preset percentage is 95%, when the charge cutoff SOC is 100%, the preset SOC is 95%; when the charge cutoff SOC is 95%, the preset SOC is 90.25%.

[0086] Regardless of whether the battery is heated in the early stage of charging, the charging process will inevitably cause the temperature of the battery to rise. Therefore, the second preset temperature in the embodiment of the present application is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0087] When the battery SOC is higher than the preset SOC, the vehicle is nearly fully charged, and the long-term performance and range of the battery are more important. In this case, heating the battery can increase the actual capacity of the battery in a low-temperature environment to close to or equal to the rated capacity, bringing the battery's range closer to the rated range.

[0088] When the second charging heating mode is turned on, the heating element will consume more electricity to heat the battery at the charging end of the battery, thereby increasing the charging cost. For this reason, in an embodiment of the present application, the second charging heating mode can be set to be manually turned on, and the user can choose whether to turn it on according to actual needs. When the user chooses to turn off the second charging heating mode, the battery will not be heated at the charging end.

[0089] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the second charging and heating mode can also be set to a default on mode.

[0090] The third charging and heating mode and the fourth charging and heating mode are set for the fast charging state.

[0091] Among them, regarding the third charging and heating mode, in the fast charging state, the vehicle needs to complete charging in a short time, and has higher requirements for charging efficiency and safety. When the user does not actively turn on the fast energy replenishment function, the vehicle automatically judges the battery temperature. If the battery temperature is lower than the third preset temperature, it means that the battery temperature may affect the normal progress of fast charging. The third charging heating mode is started at this time to quickly raise the battery temperature to a temperature range suitable for fast charging during the fast charging process, ensuring that fast charging can be carried out efficiently and safely. At the same time, by heating the battery, the capacity of the battery can also be increased, so that the battery can better accept electricity during the fast charging process, avoiding a significant drop in fast charging efficiency or safety hazards due to too low temperature, thereby achieving the goal of rapid energy replenishment and meeting the user's fast charging needs.

[0092] The fourth charging and heating mode needs to be manually activated because it is a special fast energy replenishment mode that involves a higher heating power. Although it can quickly increase the battery temperature and capacity, it may have a certain impact on the battery life or safety, and will increase the charging cost. The fourth charging and heating mode will only be activated when the user explicitly needs the fast energy replenishment function. In the fast charging state, when the battery temperature is lower than the fourth preset temperature, it means that the battery is in a relatively low temperature environment. Through manual activation, users can choose whether to use this mode according to their actual needs while understanding the possible risks and consequences. After starting the fourth charging and heating mode, the battery temperature and capacity can be quickly increased by rapidly heating the battery, so that the battery can accept more electricity in a short time, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid energy replenishment and meeting the user's fast charging needs in emergency situations.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the current charging and heating mode of the vehicle, before heating the battery, it is necessary to eliminate the heating-related heating element overtemperature, PWM switch overtemperature and battery system failure that does not allow heating. Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , if at least one of the following conditions occurs: the temperature of the heating element is higher than the sixth preset temperature, the temperature of the PWM switch is higher than the fifth preset temperature, or a fault occurs in the battery system that does not allow heating, the battery is not allowed to be heated (corresponding to Figure 2 Steps S207-S209 and S220-S222 in the Figure 3 On the contrary, if the temperature of the heating element is lower than the sixth preset temperature, the temperature of the PWM switch is lower than the fifth preset temperature, and the battery system has no fault that does not allow heating, heating of the battery is allowed, that is, the process proceeds to step S102.

[0094] In step S102, the maximum allowable heating power of the heating element is determined by the vehicle controller based on the maximum output power of the charging pile and the charging power requirement of the battery, that is, the maximum value of the sum of the maximum allowable heating power of the heating element and the charging power requirement of the battery is the maximum output power of the charging pile.

[0095] The maximum allowable heating power of the heating element varies in different charging and heating modes. The maximum allowable heating power in the first charging and heating mode is lower than the maximum allowable heating power in the second charging and heating mode; and the maximum allowable heating power in the third charging and heating mode is lower than the maximum allowable heating power in the fourth charging and heating mode.

[0096] The total voltage of the power battery, the temperature of the heating element, and the temperature of the PWM switch are all values ​​collected in real time, and the resistance of the heating element is a certain value.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, step S103 includes:

[0098] S1031, determining a target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch based on the maximum allowable heating power, the total voltage of the power battery, the resistance of the heating element, the temperature of the heating element, and the temperature of the PWM switch;

[0099] S1032 : Determine a heating current of the heating element in the charging and heating mode according to the total voltage of the power battery, the resistance of the heating element, and the target PWM duty cycle.

[0100] Specifically, in S1031, the step of determining the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch includes:

[0101] S10311, determining a first PWM duty cycle based on the maximum allowable heating power, the total voltage of the power battery, and the resistance of the heating element;

[0102] S10312, determining a second PWM duty cycle according to the temperature of the heating element;

[0103] S10313, determining a third PWM duty cycle according to the PWM switch temperature;

[0104] S10314: Take the smaller of the first PWM duty cycle, the second PWM duty cycle, and the third PWM duty cycle to obtain a target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch.

[0105] The first PWM duty cycle A is calculated by the following formula: A=min[((P*1000) / ((U 2) / R))*100%), 100%]. It should be noted that since the first PWM duty cycle to be solved is unitless, when substituting the maximum allowable heating power into the formula, only the maximum allowable heating power value P, the power battery total voltage value U, and the heating element resistance value R are entered, but the units of these three parameters are not entered. The purpose of multiplying the value P by 1000 is to convert the maximum allowable heating power from kW to W to avoid inaccurate calculation results.

[0106] The second PWM duty cycle is a value in the range of 0-100%, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0107] ;

[0108] Among them, k p1 is the set first proportional gain coefficient (calibrated in advance through experiments and is a dimensionless parameter), TBD1 is the temperature value that the heating element needs to reach, k i1 is the set first integral gain coefficient (calibrated in advance through experiments and is a dimensionless parameter), T1(k) is the heating element temperature measured in the kth sampling period, Indicates the sampling period of the heating element temperature; As a proportional term, it directly reflects the deviation between the current temperature of the heating element and TBD1; As an integral term, it is used to accumulate historical errors and eliminate steady-state deviations. It should be noted that since the second PWM duty cycle to be solved has no unit, when using the above formula to calculate, only the specific value of the temperature value TBD1 that the heating element needs to reach and the sampling period of the heating element temperature are entered. The specific value of and the specific value of the heating element temperature T1(k) sampled in the current sampling period (i.e., the aforementioned k-th sampling period), but without the respective units of these parameters. The greater the temperature difference between the heating element temperature T1(k) and the desired temperature value TBD1 (corresponding to the aforementioned sixth preset temperature) to be reached by the heating element, the higher the second PWM duty cycle and the greater the heating demand for the battery. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the specific calculation formula for the second PWM duty cycle is:

[0109] .

[0110] The third PWM duty cycle is a value in the range of 0-100%, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0111] ;

[0112] Among them, k p2is the set second proportional gain coefficient (calibrated in advance by experiment and is a dimensionless unit), TBD2 is the temperature value that the PWM switch needs to reach, k i2 is the set second integral gain coefficient (calibrated in advance by experiment and is a dimensionless unit), T2(k) is the PWM switch temperature measured in the kth sampling period, Indicates the sampling period of the PWM switch temperature, which is the same as the sampling period of the heating element temperature; As a proportional term, it directly reflects the deviation between the current PWM switch temperature T2(k) and the temperature value TBD2 that the PWM switch setting needs to reach; As an integral term, it is used to accumulate historical errors and eliminate steady-state deviations. It should be noted that since the third PWM duty cycle to be solved has no unit, when using the above formula to calculate, only the specific value of the temperature value TBD2 that the PWM switch needs to reach and the sampling period of the PWM switch temperature are entered. The specific value of the PWM switch temperature T2(k) sampled during the current sampling period (i.e., the kth sampling period mentioned above) is used, but the units of these parameters are not used. The greater the temperature difference between the PWM switch temperature T2(k) and the temperature value TBD2 (corresponding to the fifth preset temperature) that the PWM switch setting is required to reach, the higher the third PWM duty cycle is, and the greater the battery heating demand is. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the specific calculation formula for the third PWM duty cycle is:

[0113] .

[0114] Finally, the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch is expressed as: PWM = MIN(A, B, C), and the target PWM duty cycle should be in the range of [0, 100]. If the smaller result is lower than 0, it is set to 0, and if it is higher than 100, it is set to 100.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the heating current (corresponding to Figure 3 The specific process of step S238 in the embodiment includes:

[0116] Calculate the theoretical maximum current of the heating element: Theoretical maximum current = total voltage of the power battery / resistance of the heating element;

[0117] Calculate the heating current of the heating element: Heating current = theoretical maximum current × target PWM percentage.

[0118] The maximum value of the heating current in the first charging and heating mode is less than the maximum value of the heating current in the second charging and heating mode; the maximum value of the heating current in the third charging and heating mode is less than the maximum value of the heating current in the fourth charging and heating mode; the maximum value of the heating current in the second charging and heating mode is less than the maximum value of the heating current in the fourth charging and heating mode.

[0119] In this embodiment, the ultimate goal of battery heating is to maximize the heating element temperature to 60°C while preventing overheating of the PWM switch, while eliminating steady-state errors through the integral term. When the PWM switch temperature approaches its target value (i.e., the fifth preset temperature) or the heating element temperature approaches its target value (i.e., the sixth preset temperature), the PWM is automatically reduced to maintain thermal equilibrium.

[0120] With respect to the aforementioned first charging and heating mode, since the start time of heating in this mode is more likely to occur at a low SOC state, in order to prevent excessive energy from being used for heating and affecting charging efficiency, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the target PWM duty cycle, the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch obtained in the aforementioned S10314 may be further restricted. That is, when the vehicle is currently executing the first charging and heating mode, the step of determining the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch based on the maximum allowable heating power, the total voltage of the power battery, the resistance of the heating element, the temperature of the heating element, and the temperature of the PWM switch further includes:

[0121] S10315: The smaller of the obtained target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch and the preset PWM duty cycle is taken as the final target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch.

[0122] The preset PWM duty cycle is a fixed duty cycle value, which is used to limit the maximum heating power in this mode.

[0123] In step S104 of the present application, it specifically includes:

[0124] S1041, when the vehicle is currently in the first charging and heating mode, setting the PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch using the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch calculated initially as a fixed duty cycle, so that the heating element performs constant current heating on the power battery according to the heating current;

[0125] S1042, when the charging and heating mode currently being executed by the vehicle is any one of the second charging and heating mode to the fourth charging and heating mode, the PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch is dynamically set according to the target PWM duty cycle of the PWM switch calculated in real time, so that the heating element performs variable frequency heating on the power battery with a heating current that changes in real time.

[0126] Among them, in the slow charging state, the first charging and heating mode is the same as the conventional power battery charging and heating mode. Its purpose is to quickly increase the temperature of the power battery in a low SOC and low temperature environment, thereby improving the charging rate of the power battery; in the second charging and heating mode, the heating current of the heating element is adjusted by PWM switching frequency conversion to achieve variable frequency heating of the battery, thereby increasing the actual capacity of the battery and improving battery life.

[0127] When the battery temperature reaches the target temperature corresponding to the charging heating mode (the target temperature corresponds to Figure 2 The eighth preset temperature, the seventh preset temperature and Figure 3 When at least one of the following conditions is met (corresponding to the ninth preset temperature and the tenth preset temperature in the battery), the battery charging state changes from the charging state to the non-charging state, the PWM switch temperature exceeds the fifth preset temperature, the heating element temperature exceeds the sixth preset temperature, and the battery system has a fault that prohibits heating Figure 2 S210-S216 and S223-S229, Figure 3 ), stop heating the battery.

[0128] Among them, the target temperatures corresponding to the first charging heating mode to the fourth charging heating mode are Figure 2 and Figure 3 The seventh preset temperature to the tenth preset temperature in the embodiment.

[0129] The above method, under the premise of meeting the requirements of GB 18384-2025, solves the problem of internal heating of current new energy vehicle batteries due to the power limitation of heating-related hardware, resulting in "the charging current of the entire charging process cannot reach the manufacturer's advertised current and charging time due to the low ambient temperature, resulting in many customer complaints."

Under the premise of ensuring safety, the peak power of the heating element can be significantly increased from the existing 3KW-5KW to more than 10KW. In the slow charging state, in low temperature and low SOC scenarios, the battery temperature can be increased more quickly, thereby increasing the battery charging current and shortening the charging time; in low temperature and high SOC scenarios, by heating the battery, the actual capacity of the battery is increased and the battery life is increased. In the fast charging state, when the user selects the fourth charging and heating mode for rapid energy replenishment, the battery heating efficiency can be maximized, raising the battery temperature to the fastest charging temperature range in a very short time, while improving the battery's charging and heating efficiency across the entire temperature range. In particular, it solves the problem of charging current not matching the advertised value due to slow battery charging and heating at low temperatures.
