Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric forklift charging, and in particular to a fast-charging low-voltage platform large-capacity battery system for electric forklifts and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy forklifts, new energy electric forklifts are being promoted all over the country. The charging speed of forklift batteries directly affects the user experience.

[0003] Traditional low-voltage platform electric forklifts are mostly 80V voltage platforms with large battery capacity. They use traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries and most of them do not have liquid cooling systems. To prevent excessive temperature rise during charging, the charging rate is generally limited to around 0.5C. In addition, due to the current limiting of the charging gun and charging station, the charging current generally does not exceed 200A, resulting in slow charging speed and affecting the vehicle experience.

[0004] The forklift battery heating system in the existing technology usually uses electric film heating or liquid thermal heating. Although it can solve the impact of low temperature on lithium batteries, it has problems such as low heating efficiency, slow heating speed, and uneven heating. In addition, since only one heating form is used, once the heating system fails, the lithium battery can no longer be heated, and the normal operation of the lithium battery cannot be effectively guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a fast-charging low-voltage platform large-capacity battery system for electric forklifts and a control method thereof. The battery module uses low-temperature rise cells to reduce heat generation at the source during the charging process, and improves the charging rate without using a liquid cooling system. For large-capacity batteries, dual-gun charging technology can be used to increase the charging current and achieve the purpose of fast charging.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts a technical solution: a fast-charging low-voltage platform large-capacity battery system for electric forklifts, comprising: The battery module is installed on the electric forklift to provide power for the electric forklift; The box is installed on an electric forklift; The two charging bases are arranged outside the box body and are used to connect to the charging gun of the charger; The electric control system is arranged inside the box, the input end of the electric control system is connected to the two charging seats, and the discharge port of the electric control system is arranged on the box and connected to the battery module.

[0007] Furthermore, the battery module uses low-temperature-rise battery cells, which have a low temperature rise during charging and discharging, and can meet the needs of high-rate charging without the need for a liquid cooling system. At the same time, a heating film is integrated on the battery module to improve the heating efficiency under low temperature conditions, so that the battery can be heated to an appropriate temperature more quickly; the battery pack in the battery module adopts a dual-parallel solution, and each parallel battery pack is charged separately, which can greatly increase the charging current, and the heat generation is significantly reduced at the same charging rate speed, which can meet the needs of high-rate current charging.

[0008] Furthermore, the battery module includes: a battery pack A and a battery pack B. The battery pack A is provided with a heating film A, and the battery pack B is provided with a heating film B. The two charging seats are charging seat A and charging seat B respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the electronic control system includes: a BMS host, a BMS slave, a DC-DC, a charging contactor A, a charging contactor B, a shunt A, a shunt B, a fuse A, a fuse B, a charging A heating contactor, a charging B heating contactor, a heating fuse C, and a heating fuse D. The shunt A, the battery pack A, and the fuse A are connected in series to form a battery charge and discharge circuit A. The shunt B, the battery pack B, and the fuse B are connected in series to form a battery charge and discharge circuit B. The battery charge and discharge circuit A and the battery charge and discharge circuit B are connected in parallel to form a battery charge and discharge circuit group. The control ports of the charging seat A and the charging seat B are both connected to the BMS host. The positive pole on the charging seat A is connected to the positive pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group through the charging contactor A, the negative pole on the charging seat A is connected to the negative pole of the charge and discharge circuit group, and the positive pole on the charging seat B is connected to the positive pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group through the charging contactor B. The positive pole on the charging seat B is connected to the negative pole of the charge and discharge circuit group, the positive pole on the charging seat A is connected to the negative pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group through the charging A heating contactor, heating fuse C, and heating film A, and the positive pole on the charging seat B is connected to the negative pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group through the charging B heating contactor, heating fuse D, and heating film B. The DC-DC is used to connect the battery charge and discharge circuit group to power the BMS host and BMS slave, and the BMS host and BMS slave are connected for communication. The BMS host is used for controlling the charging contactor A, charging contactor B, charging A heating contactor, and charging B heating contactor, for controlling the charging seat A and charging seat B, for current detection of the shunt A, contactor adhesion detection, and for the battery pack A voltage and temperature acquisition function. The BMS slave is used for voltage and temperature acquisition of the battery pack B, for vehicle communication, and for master-slave interaction function.

[0010] Furthermore, the electronic control system also includes: a discharge contactor A, a discharge contactor B, a pre-charge contactor, a pre-charge resistor, and a discharge heating contactor. The pre-charge contactor and the pre-charge resistor are connected in series to form a pre-charge circuit. The pre-charge circuit, the discharge contactor A, and the discharge contactor B are connected in parallel to form a discharge module. One end of the discharge module is connected to the positive pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group, and the other end is connected to the positive pole of the load of the electric forklift. The negative pole of the load is connected to the negative pole of the battery charge and discharge circuit group. The heating fuse C and the heating fuse D are connected to the positive pole of the load through the discharge heating contactor. The discharge heating contactor is connected to the BMS slave, and the discharge heating contactor is controlled to work by the BMS slave. The discharge contactor A, the discharge contactor B, and the pre-charge contactor are connected to the BMS host, and the discharge contactor A, the discharge contactor B, and the pre-charge contactor are controlled to work by the BMS host.

[0011] A control method for a fast-charging, low-voltage, and high-capacity battery system for electric forklifts. Both charging stations A and B are connected to the BMS host, which is responsible for identifying charging gun signals. The two charging stations A and B are independent of each other, enabling single-gun or dual-gun charging of the battery system. When the battery module starts charging, the charging gun auxiliary power supply supplies power to the BMS host and BMS slave, activating the BMS host and BMS slave. After the BMS host and BMS slave self-check and no faults are found, they start to detect the charging gun signal and perform control.

[0012] Furthermore, when the BMS detects that only charging station A is connected to the charging gun, it will handshake with the charger according to the national standard charging process. After the handshake is successful, it will start to close the charging contactor A. At this time, the charging gun charges the battery module. Since battery pack A and battery pack B are in parallel, the charging current of the charging gun is evenly distributed to battery pack A and battery pack B, realizing single-gun charging. When the BMS host detects that only charging base B is connected to the charging gun, it shakes hands with the charger according to the national standard charging process. After the handshake is successful, it starts to close the charging contactor B. At this time, the charging gun charges the battery module. Since battery pack A and battery pack B are in parallel, the charging current of the charging gun is evenly distributed to battery pack A and battery pack B, realizing single-gun charging.

[0013] Furthermore, when the BMS host detects that charging base A and charging base B are connected to charging guns at the same time, it shakes hands with the corresponding chargers according to the national standard charging process. After the handshake is successful, it starts to close charging contactors A and B. At this time, the two charging guns inserted in charging base A and charging base B charge the battery module at the same time. Since battery pack A and battery pack B are in parallel, the charging current is evenly distributed to battery pack A and battery pack B, realizing dual-gun charging. At this time, the charging current is twice that of single-gun charging, and fast charging is performed.

[0014] Furthermore, when the battery module is charged at a relatively low temperature, it is necessary to heat the battery module. Two temperature preset values ​​are set inside the BMS host and BMS slave. When charging, the BMS host and BMS slave respectively detect the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B. When the temperature of battery pack A or / and battery pack B is lower than the preset temperature 1, only the charging A heating contactor and / or the charging B heating contactor are closed. At this time, the battery enters the pure heating mode, and only the battery pack A or / and battery pack B is heated without charging. When it is detected that the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B is between preset temperature 1 and preset temperature 2, the corresponding circuit charging contactor A and charging A heating contactor or / and charging contactor B and charging B heating contactor are closed, and the charging and heating mode is entered; When it is detected that the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B is higher than the preset temperature 2, the corresponding circuit charging contactor A or / and charging contactor B are closed to enter the pure charging mode.

[0015] Furthermore, in any heating mode, the BMS host and BMS slave will detect the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B in real time. When the temperature reaches the corresponding temperature range, they will execute the corresponding action according to the process and enter different heating modes. This heating method has high heating efficiency and good heating uniformity. The battery module adopts a dual-parallel solution, charging each parallel module separately, which can greatly increase the charging current and significantly reduce the heat generation at the same charging rate, which can meet the high-rate current charging requirements. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the battery module reduces heat generation at the source during charging by using low-temperature rising cells, and improves the charging rate without using a liquid cooling system. The battery module adopts a dual-parallel solution, and each parallel module is charged separately, which can greatly increase the charging current, and the heat generation is significantly reduced at the same charging rate, which can meet the needs of high-rate current charging; the battery module is integrated with a heating film, which improves the heating efficiency under low temperature conditions and enables the battery to be heated to an appropriate temperature more quickly. The battery packs in the battery module adopt a dual-parallel solution, and each parallel battery pack is charged separately, which can greatly increase the charging current, and the heat generation is significantly reduced at the same charging rate, which can meet the needs of high-rate current charging; at the same time, it also meets the needs of using dual-gun charging technology for large-capacity batteries to increase the charging current and achieve the purpose of fast charging.

The control method of the fast-charging low-voltage platform large-capacity battery system for electric forklifts according to claim 6, characterized in that: When the battery module is charged at a relatively low temperature, it needs to be heated. Two temperature preset values ​​are set inside the BMS host and BMS slave. When charging, the BMS host and BMS slave detect the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B respectively. When the temperature of battery pack A or / and battery pack B is lower than the preset temperature 1, only the charging A heating contactor and / or the charging B heating contactor are closed. At this time, the system enters the pure heating mode, which only heats battery pack A or / and battery pack B without charging. When it is detected that the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B is between preset temperature 1 and preset temperature 2, the corresponding circuit charging contactor A and charging A heating contactor or / and charging contactor B and charging B heating contactor are closed, and the charging and heating mode is entered; When it is detected that the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B is higher than the preset temperature 2, the corresponding circuit charging contactor A or / and charging contactor B are closed to enter the pure charging mode; The control method of the fast-charging low-voltage platform large-capacity battery system for electric forklifts according to claim 9 is characterized in that: In any heating mode, the BMS host and BMS slave will detect the temperature of battery pack A and battery pack B in real time. When the temperature reaches the corresponding temperature range, they will execute the corresponding actions according to the process and enter different heating modes. This heating method has high heating efficiency and good heating uniformity.
