Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology, and in particular to an electric vehicle charging device, process, and vehicle suitable for European standard charging piles. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy technologies, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, their application is becoming increasingly widespread. New energy vehicles account for a large proportion of the market in China, indicating that new energy technologies are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Meanwhile, European countries are gradually increasing their demand for Chinese new energy vehicles. Since China uses the charging protocol GB / T 27930, while Europe uses ISO 15118 and DIN 70121, adjustments to the protocols are needed to meet European charging requirements. However, this process can lead to problems such as long development cycles and poor charging compatibility.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN20481705A discloses "An electric vehicle charging system, method, and vehicle." The electric vehicle communication conversion module connects to a European standard charging socket via a first communication protocol bus, and also connects to a battery management system. The battery management system, vehicle controller, and on-board charger are connected via a second communication protocol bus. This achieves compatibility with both domestic and international development and adaptability to domestic and international charging infrastructure. The disadvantage of this technology is that it involves numerous and complex systems and modules, and may actually increase the development cycle and costs of vehicle components rather than significantly reduce them.

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0015] Figure 1 This is an architecture diagram of an electric vehicle charging device suitable for European standard charging piles; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electric vehicle charging process applicable to European standard charging stations. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 The principles and features of the present invention are described, and the examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, an electric vehicle charging device suitable for European standard charging piles includes a communication converter EVCC, a battery management system (BMS), an on-board charger (OBC), and an electric vehicle power supply device (EVSE). The EVSE and the communication converter EVCC interact via a power line carrier communication protocol (PLC). The EVSE, the battery management system (BMS), and the on-board charger (OBC) interact via a controller area network (CAN) bus communication protocol (CAN). The protocol includes a PCANH bus CAN high and a PCANL bus CAN low.

[0018] The electric vehicle power supply unit EVSE and the communication converter EVCC communicate with the European standard charging connection confirmation signal PP and the European standard control guidance signal CP. 欧标 PE ground 欧标 Working together to complete the charging process; the European standard charging connection confirmation signal PP is used to confirm the physical connection between the charging gun and the electric vehicle, and the European standard control guidance signal CP... 欧标 Responsible for confirming connection status and controlling charging status; The on-board charger (OBC) and the communication converter (EVCC) communicate via the national standard charging connection confirmation signal CC and the national standard charging connection confirmation signal CP. 国标 PE ground 国标 Hard-wired connection; the on-board charger (OBC) controls the electronic lock's opening and closing. The Battery Management System (BMS) and the Communication Converter (EVCC) are connected via a hardwired connection: A+ (low-voltage auxiliary power positive), CC2 (charging connection confirmation signal), CHCANH (charging communication CAN high), and CHCANL (charging communication CAN low). The charging communication protocol is implemented in accordance with the national standard GB / T27930.

[0019] It should be noted that the Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication protocol is a commonly used international charging communication protocol, while the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication protocol is a commonly used domestic communication protocol. The communication converter EVCC interacts with European standard charging piles via the PLC communication protocol, and with the BMS and OBC via the CAN communication protocol. Both network communication protocols use the EVCC as a link to enable interaction between foreign charging systems and domestically exported vehicles.

[0020] Example 2, as Figure 2 As shown, an electric vehicle charging process suitable for European standard charging piles, using the charging device described in any one of claims 1 to 2 to charge the electric vehicle, includes: unplugging the European standard charging gun from the European standard charging pile and then inserting it into the European standard charging socket of the electric vehicle; European standard control guidance signal CP 欧标 The EVCC communication converter is activated and used to inform the user of the charging method and the output capability of the European standard charging station. When the communication converter EVCC detects the European standard control guidance signal CP 欧标 When the PWM duty cycle is 3%~7%, the [S1] DC charging process begins, including: [S1.1] The communication converter EVCC outputs a charging connection confirmation signal CC2 and an A+ low-voltage auxiliary power positive signal to wake up the battery management system BMS and perform DC charging interaction through the national standard GB / T 27930 protocol; [S1.2] The communication converter EVCC outputs a national standard charging connection confirmation signal CP. 国标—直流The on-board charger (OBC) is activated, and the OBC receives the national standard charging connection confirmation signal (CP). 国标—直流 After locking the electronic lock, the communication converter EVCC closes the S2 switch; the S2 switch can change the CP signal level to confirm whether charging can be started.

[0021] [S1.3] The Battery Management System (BMS) requests a high-voltage connection command according to the vehicle's national standard GB / T27930 DC charging procedure and completes the connection of the vehicle to high voltage. This operation can be performed by the vehicle according to the national standard charging procedure without any changes, thus reducing the workload of development.

[0022] [S1.4] The battery management system (BMS) turns off insulation detection and judgment, makes fault judgment according to the insulation value forwarded by the communication converter EVCC from the European standard charging pile, and performs fast charging relay adhesion detection according to the terminal voltage of the European standard charging pile. The timeout judgment of the maximum output capacity of the European standard charging pile (CML), the time synchronization information sent by the European standard charging pile (CTS), and the charger identification message (CRM) is adjusted to 60s. Because charging stations perform insulation tests on the charging port and the entire vehicle, if the vehicle also has insulation monitoring enabled, the two systems will be incompatible and charging will stop. To improve compatibility with European charging standards, the timeout settings for the charging station's maximum output capacity (CML), charging station time synchronization information (CTS), and charger identification message (CRM) have been increased to 60 seconds, thus enhancing the compatibility of the vehicle charging process.

[0023] [S1.5] If a European standard charging station malfunction is detected, or if the BMS stops charging or the charging gun disconnects abnormally, the communication converter EVCC will stop sending CP signals. 国标—直流 Signal: The on-board charger (OBC) unlocks the electronic lock, disconnects S2, and charging ends.

[0024] When the communication converter EVCC detects the European standard control guidance signal CP 欧标 When the PWM duty cycle is 9%~97%, the [S2] AC charging process begins, including: [S2.1] Output the corresponding resistance value of the national standard charging connection confirmation signal CC according to the resistance value of the European standard charging connection confirmation signal PP; the resistance value of CC is 220Ω, which can support 32A current; the resistance value of CC is 100Ω, which can support 63A current.

[0025] [S2.2] The communication converter EVCC outputs a national standard charging connection confirmation signal CP. 国标—交流 The on-board charger (OBC) detected the CP signal from the communication converter (EVCC). 国标—交流 After the signal is received, the electronic lock is engaged, and the communication converter EVCC closes the S2 switch. The S2 switch can change the CP signal level to confirm whether charging can be started.

[0026] [S2.3] The Battery Management System (BMS) requests a high-voltage connection command according to the vehicle's national standard GB / T27930 AC charging procedure and completes the connection of the vehicle to high voltage. [S2.4] The communication converter EVCC and the European standard charging pile interact to output AC power, and the on-board charger OBC charges according to the vehicle slow charging process; Steps [S2.3] and [S2.4] simply require the vehicle to follow the national standard charging process without any changes, thus reducing the workload of development.

[0027] [S2.5] If a charging gun disconnection signal is received or the on-board charger (OBC) sends a charging completion signal, the communication converter (EVCC) will stop sending CP signals. 国标—交流 Signal: The on-board charger (OBC) unlocks the electronic lock, disconnects S2, and charging ends.

[0028] Charging termination conditions include: the BMS sends a signal to stop charging after the power battery reaches a preset power threshold; the charging time reaches a set time, which is determined by the user; and the vehicle charging ends when the European standard charging station sends a fault signal and the charging gun disconnects.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
