[0037] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0038] A method for thermal management before vehicle starting charging, a device for thermal management before vehicle starting charging, a vehicle and a storage medium according to embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problem that it is difficult for a user to accurately grasp the pre-heating timing and pre-heating failure and power waste are prone to occur due to forgetting to start pre-heating in advance or not charging in time after starting pre-heating in advance, the present application provides a method for thermal management before vehicle starting charging, in which, whether the current vehicle is inserted into a charging gun is determined, the battery power and the battery cell temperature are obtained in the case that the current vehicle is inserted into the charging gun, the thermal management strategy is determined according to the battery power and the battery cell temperature, and the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery power and / or the battery cell temperature meet the preset stop condition. Thus, the problem that it is difficult for a user to accurately grasp the pre-heating timing and pre-heating failure and power waste are prone to occur due to forgetting to start pre-heating in advance or not charging in time after starting pre-heating in advance are solved, a more convenient thermal management scheme for user charging is provided, the charging speed is accelerated, and the user's charging experience in winter and summer is improved.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for thermal management before vehicle starting charging according to an embodiment of the present application is provided.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the vehicle pre-charging thermal management method includes the following steps:

[0041] In step S101, it is determined whether the current vehicle is inserted into a charging gun.

[0042] Specifically, when a normal electric vehicle is charging, the user needs at least 2 minutes to insert the gun to actually swipe the card to start charging, and some users need to download an APP, recharge, scan a code to start charging, etc., which takes more than 10 minutes. The application fully utilizes the time before charging to preheat / cool the battery. When the user charges the gun, the vehicle controller recognizes the insertion of the charging gun and determines that the user has a charging demand.

[0043] In step S102, in the case where the current vehicle is inserted into the charging gun, the battery capacity and the cell temperature are obtained, the thermal management strategy is determined according to the battery capacity and the cell temperature, and the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery capacity and / or the cell temperature meets the preset stopping condition.

[0044] The preset stopping condition is that the battery capacity is lower than a third capacity threshold, or the cell temperature is in a preset temperature interval. The third capacity threshold and the preset temperature interval can be pre-set by the user, can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, or can be obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. Herein, no specific limitation is made, and preferably, the third capacity threshold is 10%, and the preset temperature interval is [28℃, 35℃].

[0045] Specifically, when the vehicle is inserted into the charging gun, the system will immediately obtain the battery capacity and the cell temperature, two key parameters. Based on the battery capacity and the cell temperature, the system will intelligently determine the corresponding thermal management strategy, for example, heating the battery pack at low temperature, and cooling at high temperature. Then, the system will heat or cool the battery pack according to this strategy. This process will continue until the battery capacity and / or the cell temperature reaches the preset stopping condition.

[0046] Further, in some embodiments, the thermal management strategy is determined according to the battery capacity and the cell temperature, and the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery capacity and / or the cell temperature meets the preset stopping condition, which includes: when the battery capacity is higher than a first capacity threshold and the cell temperature is lower than a first temperature threshold, using a preset PTC heating device to heat the battery pack until the battery capacity and / or the cell temperature meets the preset stopping condition.

[0047] The first electric quantity threshold and the first temperature threshold can be preset by a user, can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, or can be obtained through a limited number of computer simulations, and are not limited here. Preferably, the first electric quantity threshold is 10%, and the first temperature threshold is 20℃.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the vehicle is inserted into the charging gun, the system determines a thermal management strategy according to the battery electric quantity and the cell temperature. If the battery electric quantity is higher than the first electric quantity threshold set to prevent the battery electric quantity from being too low and ensure that the battery is within a safe electric quantity range, and the cell temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold set, the system starts a preset PTC heating device to heat the battery pack. This heating process continues until the battery electric quantity and / or the cell temperature meet a preset stop condition, so as to ensure that the battery is charged at an appropriate temperature, and improve the charging efficiency and safety.

[0049] In actual execution, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the application can first query the SOC (State of Charge) and the cell temperature of the BMS (Battery Management System) power battery through the VCU (Vehicle Control Unit). If the SOC is higher than 10% and the cell temperature is lower than 20℃, the vehicle electronic constant temperature controller ECC sends a battery heating instruction, and the battery heater PTC starts heating.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, the thermal management strategy is determined according to the battery electric quantity and the cell temperature, and the battery pack is cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery electric quantity and / or the cell temperature meet a preset stop condition, including: when the battery electric quantity is higher than a second electric quantity threshold and the cell temperature is higher than a second temperature threshold, a preset EAS cooling device is used to heat or cool the battery pack until the battery electric quantity and / or the cell temperature meet the preset stop condition.

[0051] The second electric quantity threshold and the second temperature threshold can be preset by a user, can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, or can be obtained through a limited number of computer simulations, and are not limited here. Preferably, the second electric quantity threshold is 10%, and the second temperature threshold is 40℃.

[0052] Specifically, the system determines the thermal management strategy according to the battery power and the cell temperature. When the battery power is higher than a second power threshold (which is intended to ensure that the battery is in a safe power range) and the cell temperature is higher than a second temperature threshold, the system enables the preset EAS refrigeration device to cool the battery pack. This cooling process will continue until the battery power and / or the cell temperature reaches a preset stop condition, so as to ensure that the battery is charged at an appropriate temperature, thereby improving the charging efficiency and safety.

[0053] In actual implementation, in combination with FIGS. 1 to 3, the VCU determines whether the SOC of the power battery is higher than 10% and the cell temperature is higher than 40°C. When the cell temperature is higher than 40°C, the ECC sends a battery cooling instruction, and the compressor EAS starts to work. Until the battery SOC is less than or equal to 10% or the cell temperature is between 28°C and 35°C, the plug-in intelligent thermal management system sends a cancellation instruction to stop the battery heater or the battery cooling system from working. Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the VCU determines whether the SOC of the power battery is higher than 10% and the cell temperature is higher than 40°C. When the cell temperature is higher than 40°C, the ECC sends a battery cooling instruction, and the compressor EAS starts to work. Until the battery SOC is less than or equal to 10% or the cell temperature is between 28°C and 35°C, the plug-in intelligent thermal management system sends a cancellation instruction to stop the battery heater or the battery cooling system from working.

[0054] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery power and / or the cell temperature meets the preset stop condition, the method further includes: generating a charging reminder instruction, and performing charging reminder based on the charging reminder instruction.

[0055] Specifically, after the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy and the battery power and / or the cell temperature meets the preset stop condition, the system generates a charging reminder instruction and performs charging reminder based on the instruction. For example, when the SOC is less than or equal to 10% or the cell temperature is between 28°C and 35°C, the system determines that the stop condition is met, and then generates a charging reminder instruction. A prompt box is popped up on the central control screen of the vehicle, displaying "the battery has been preheated / cooled, and charging can be started". At the same time, a prompt sound is played in the vehicle to remind the user to perform charging operation.

[0056] The embodiments of the present application also provide a control circuit based on the thermal management method before the vehicle starts charging, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4, when the user plugs in the gun to trigger intelligent thermal management, the main positive contactor and the main negative contactor are closed. The vehicle controller determines whether the battery needs to be heated or cooled according to the cell temperature. If the battery needs to be heated, K1 is closed, and the battery heater works. If the battery needs to be cooled, K2 is closed, and the battery cooling device works. When the user scans the code to start charging, the main positive contactor, the main negative contactor and K1 or K2 are actively disconnected. Then the fast charging positive contactor and the fast charging negative contactor are closed. Subsequently, the main positive contactor and the main negative contactor are closed, and the battery pack starts to charge. If the battery pack still has thermal management needs at this time, K1 or K2 is closed, and the output current of the charging pile is shunted to the thermal management device to work.

[0057] ​In summary, the current new energy vehicle is charging and heating / cooling at the same time, and the battery temperature is often not suitable at the beginning of charging, resulting in slow charging speed and long user waiting time. The embodiment of the application increases the plug-in gun recognition charging demand on the basis of the original power battery thermal management function, prepositions the thermal management work, and starts the pre-heating / pre-cooling function of the battery pack in advance. That is, after plugging in the gun, the intelligent thermal management strategy starts the battery heating / cooling in advance, adjusts the battery core temperature to the best temperature interval for charging, and after card swiping and charging, the battery core temperature is suitable for charging, the charging power of the electric vehicle is improved, and the user charging time is greatly shortened.

[0058] Secondly, the plug-in intelligent thermal management strategy also saves the operation of pre-booking heating through APP or vehicle screen before charging in winter, avoids the current common situation of forgetting to start battery heating before charging, effectively improves the effectiveness of battery pre-heating / pre-cooling function, reduces user waiting time, and improves user charging convenience.

[0059] Finally, the energy used for thermal management in the embodiment of the application can come from the battery pack or the charging pile, and only needs to control the opening and closing of the relay. Before charging after plugging in the gun, the vehicle starts the thermal management system in advance, closes the main positive contactor, the main negative contactor and K1 (K2), and adjusts the battery core temperature. At this time, the battery power is used. After the user swipes the card to charge, the fast charging positive contactor and the fast charging negative contactor are closed, and the battery pack starts charging, and the charging pile power is used to adjust the battery core temperature. Therefore, by opening and closing the relay, the battery energy pre-heating or charging pile energy pre-heating can be flexibly controlled, which greatly improves the intelligence of battery thermal management.

[0060] According to the vehicle pre-thermal management method before starting charging according to the embodiment of the application, whether the current vehicle is inserted into the charging gun is judged, the battery power and the battery core temperature are obtained in the case that the current vehicle is inserted into the charging gun, the thermal management strategy is determined according to the battery power and the battery core temperature, and the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery power and / or the battery core temperature meet the preset stop condition. Therefore, the problem that the user cannot accurately grasp the pre-heating opportunity and easily forget to start in advance or start in advance but not charge on time, resulting in pre-heating failure and power waste, is solved, a more convenient thermal management scheme is provided for user charging, the charging speed is accelerated, and the user charging experience in winter and summer is improved.

[0061] Secondly, the vehicle pre-thermal management device according to the embodiment of the application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Figure 5 is a block schematic diagram of the vehicle pre-thermal management device according to the embodiment of the application.

[0066] Optionally, in some embodiments, the thermal management module 200 comprises a first thermal management unit.

[0067] The first thermal management unit is configured to, in the case that the battery power is higher than a first power threshold and the battery cell temperature is lower than a first temperature threshold, heat the battery pack by using a preset PTC heating device until the battery power and / or the battery cell temperature meets the preset stop condition.

[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments, the preset stop condition is that the battery power is lower than a third power threshold or the battery cell temperature is in a preset temperature range.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the battery pack is heated or cooled according to the thermal management strategy until the battery power and / or the battery cell temperature meets the preset stop condition, the thermal management module 200 comprises a reminding unit.
