Description

[0002] With the development of vehicle technology (especially new energy vehicles), the popularity of new energy vehicles is increasing, and they have good application prospects. The charging issue of new energy vehicles has always been a major concern. To alleviate range anxiety, fast charging can reduce charging time to half an hour or even less. However, fast charging generates a large current, which leads to a high temperature rise in the wiring harness, thus requiring heat dissipation for the fast charging harness.

[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0048] This invention provides a method for heat dissipation of fast charging harnesses. The method is performed by a fast charging harness heat dissipation device, which can be integrated into the vehicle's thermal management system, such as a battery management system (BMS).
[0049] To better understand the heat dissipation method for fast charging harnesses provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the relevant structure of the DC fast charging system and the heat dissipation principle of the fast charging harness will be explained first.
[0050] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a DC fast charging system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 1 The DC fast charging system includes a DC charging socket 1, a liquid-cooled cable 2, a distributed temperature sensor array 3, a liquid-cooled connector plug 4, a connector socket 5, and a heat pump system 6; wherein, the distributed temperature sensor array 3 is distributed on the DC charging socket 1 and the liquid-cooled connector plug 4; the coolant in the liquid-cooled connector plug 4 and the liquid-cooled cable 2 is circulated through the heat pump system 6; the heat pump system 6 includes a water pump ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) and fan 62. Exemplarily, the distributed temperature sensing array 3 includes temperature sensors 31, 32, 33, and 34, wherein temperature sensors 31 and 32 are disposed on the DC charging socket 1, and temperature sensors 33 and 34 are disposed on the liquid cooling connector plug 4.
[0051] Optionally, the liquid-cooled connector plug 4 is also provided with a thermally conductive insulating sheet 41, through which the coolant can dissipate heat.
[0052] Furthermore, the DC fast charging system also includes a high-voltage battery 7, which includes a thermal management system 71 and a battery disconnect unit (BDU) 72. The connector socket 5 charges the high-voltage battery 7 through the BDU. The thermal management system 7 may be, for example, a battery management system (BMS) used to implement the heat dissipation method for the fast charging harness provided in any embodiment of the present invention.
[0053] The heat dissipation path in the fast charging harness is as follows: During charging, the heat generated by the connector socket 5 is transferred to the liquid-cooled connector plug 4, and the heat from the liquid-cooled connector plug 4 is transferred to the thermally conductive insulating sheet 41; the liquid-cooled cable 2 is also cooled by the coolant in the heat pump system 6. It should be noted that the heat pump system 6 only operates during fast charging. During slow charging, the liquid-cooled cable 2 can still dissipate heat through the coolant, but the coolant is generally not flowing at this time.
[0054] The heat dissipation path of the heat pump system 6 is as follows: When the vehicle is fast charging, the BMS controls the heat pump system 6 to work. At this time, the water pump in the heat pump system 6 delivers the coolant sequentially to the liquid cooling connector plug 4, the liquid cooling cable 2, and the DC charging socket 1, and then returns to the heat pump system 6.
[0055] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a heat dissipation method for a fast charging cable harness according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 2 The heat dissipation method for this fast charging harness includes the following steps:
[0056] S110, a cable digital twin model based on thermal-fluid-solid coupling, and real-time acquisition of the surface temperature field of the fast charging harness through a distributed temperature sensing array;
[0057] S120. The heat accumulation rate of the fast charging harness is obtained based on the surface temperature field.
[0058] S130. Based on the transfer function matrix between the temperature change rate and cooling efficiency, and the heat accumulation rate, the harness temperature is predicted, and different heat dissipation control strategies are triggered in stages; wherein, the heat dissipation control strategies include liquid cooling mode and / or air cooling mode.
[0059] S140. In the heat dissipation control strategy, the coolant flow rate is optimized based on the improved model predictive control algorithm.
[0060] In the thermal-fluid-solid coupling cable digital twin model, "heat" refers to the heat generation and conduction processes such as Joule heating of conductors, interfacial contact thermal resistance, and material thermal conductivity; "fluid" refers to the flow processes that carry away heat through convection, such as the velocity and pressure fields of coolant or air; and "solid" refers to the geometry, material properties, and thermal stress deformation of solid components such as metal conductors, insulation layers, and sheaths. These three elements exchange temperature-heat flow-velocity data in real time through conjugate heat transfer boundaries, forming a thermal-fluid-solid coupling. The digital twin model digitizes the real object, allowing the virtual copy to synchronize, predict, and optimize with the physical entity in real time. This coupled model is mapped online using the digital twin, and combined with real-time temperature data acquired from various parts of the fast-charging harness by a distributed temperature sensing array, temperature field visualization and heat dissipation optimization are achieved.
[0061] Among them, the heat accumulation rate is the accumulation of heat over time. The faster the heat accumulation rate, the faster the fast charging harness heats up. Therefore, the heat accumulation rate can be used to predict the temperature of the harness. When the heat accumulation rate of the harness is high, a more robust heat dissipation strategy is required for the fast charging harness.
[0062] The transfer function matrix between temperature change rate and cooling efficiency establishes the functional relationship between the temperature change rate of the fast charging harness and the cooling efficiency of the heat pump system, refining the numerical relationship between the two. Specifically, the temperature change rate and the heat accumulation rate are positively correlated, and the two can be converted between each other.
[0063] For example, the graded heat dissipation control strategy includes: a first-level strategy, which adjusts the cooling pump system to increase the coolant flow rate and improve heat dissipation performance when the predicted wiring harness temperature exceeds the high-temperature threshold; a second-level strategy, which adjusts the cooling pump system to start the fan when the predicted wiring harness temperature exceeds the ultra-high temperature threshold to improve water tank heat dissipation; and a third-level strategy, which limits the high-voltage battery charging current and reduces heat generation when the predicted wiring harness temperature exceeds the derating threshold; wherein the high-temperature threshold is less than the ultra-high temperature threshold, and the ultra-high temperature threshold is less than the derating threshold.
[0064] Furthermore, for different heat dissipation strategies, the coolant flow rate of the cooling pump system is fine-tuned according to the improved model predictive control algorithm to improve control accuracy.
[0065] The heat dissipation method for fast charging harnesses provided in this invention can predict the heat generated by the fast charging harness during fast charging and adopt a hierarchical control strategy based on the prediction structure. On the one hand, it can improve the heat dissipation effect of the fast charging harness and improve the problem of the fast charging harness being too hot and limiting the charging rate. On the other hand, through precise heat dissipation control, it is beneficial to reduce the energy consumption generated during vehicle fast charging, thereby reducing charging costs and improving customer experience.
[0066] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, when predicting the wire harness temperature based on the transfer function matrix between the temperature change rate and cooling efficiency and the heat accumulation rate in S130, and triggering different heat dissipation control strategies in stages, the following steps are also included:
[0067] Based on information sent by various vehicle components, a fault handling strategy is executed. This strategy includes: reducing the charging current to the cable's rated current when the cooling pump system malfunctions; and shutting down the charging process when the thermal management system or charging station malfunctions.
[0068] The embodiments of the present invention improve safety during fast charging by providing fault handling strategies.
[0069] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another fast-charging harness heat dissipation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, after S130, predicting the harness temperature based on the transfer function matrix between the temperature change rate and cooling efficiency, and the heat accumulation rate, and triggering different heat dissipation control strategies in stages, the method further includes:
[0070] S150: Calculate the failure life of the insulation material in real time based on the number of times the vehicle is fast charged and the surface temperature field during the fast charging process.
[0071] Specifically, based on the failure life of the insulation material, it can be determined whether the component needs to be replaced, thereby improving the vehicle's safety performance.
[0072] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, before S110, the cable digital twin model based on thermal-fluid-structure interaction, and the real-time acquisition of the surface temperature field of the fast charging harness through a distributed temperature sensing array, the following method is further included:
[0073] The aging factor of cable insulation is incorporated into the cable digital twin model based on thermal-fluid-structure interaction as a determinant of the surface temperature field.
[0074] Among them, the aging factor of cable insulation layer has a certain impact on thermal-fluid-structure coupling. By incorporating the aging factor of cable insulation layer into the digital twin model of cable based on thermal-fluid-structure coupling as a determinant of the surface temperature field, the accuracy of the model can be improved.
[0075] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, in S140, the heat dissipation control strategy optimizes the coolant flow rate based on an improved model predictive control algorithm, including:
[0076] The theoretical heat load is calculated based on real-time current values and ambient temperature.
[0077] Based on the theoretical heat load, target temperature change, radiator system power, and radiator motor speed, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to determine the coolant flow rate.
[0078] The theoretical heat load refers to the heat generated by the action of electric current. For example, the calculation time for the theoretical heat load is Q = α·I. 2 ·R+β·(Ta-25), where α and β are material compensation coefficients, I is the real-time current value, and Ta is the ambient temperature.
[0079] Multi-objective optimization algorithms consider multiple objectives simultaneously, selecting a compromise solution. Specifically, the optimization objectives may include the change in target temperature, the power of the radiator system, and the speed of the radiator motor. For example, the coolant flow rate v = argmin(ω1·ΔT + ω2·Ppump), where ω1 is the initial speed of the radiator motor, ω2 is the adjusted speed, ΔT is the temperature reduction of the fast charging harness, Ppump is the power of the radiator system, and argmin represents the values of ΔT, ω2, and Ppump that minimize the coolant flow rate v. This configuration optimizes the coolant flow rate.
[0080] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the multi-objective optimization algorithm is the NSGA-II genetic algorithm. The NSGA-II genetic algorithm uses the pattern of genetic algorithms (i.e., selection-crossover-mutation) to stratify the population according to which species are better and more dispersed, evolving generation after generation, and finally giving a uniformly distributed optimal compromise curve. The NSGA-II genetic algorithm has the beneficial effect of not requiring repeated weight adjustments and providing all optimal results with a single algorithm.
[0081] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, when implementing the heat dissipation control strategy, it further includes:
[0082] When the coolant flow rate deviation exceeds the set deviation value and the duration exceeds the set time, the control water tank switches to the backup hydraulic circuit.
[0083] Excessive coolant flow deviation, such as a difference between the actual and target coolant flow rates exceeding a set deviation, can lead to insufficient coolant flow. This, in turn, results in inadequate heat dissipation in the fast-charging harness, potentially causing issues like limited charging speed and component burnout. Typically, coolant pipeline problems such as a sudden drop in water pump efficiency, filter blockage, or stuck electric valves can cause excessive coolant flow deviation. Therefore, switching the water tank to the backup hydraulic circuit can mitigate this problem.
[0084] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, when implementing the heat dissipation control strategy, it further includes:
[0085] If the ambient temperature is lower than the set ambient temperature threshold, the heater will be activated to maintain the coolant temperature above the freezing point.
[0086] Low ambient temperatures can cause coolant to become viscous, reducing its flow rate and volume, thus affecting its heat dissipation effect on the fast charging harness. Maintaining the coolant temperature above freezing by activating a heater (e.g., a PTC heater) ensures good coolant flow and effective heat dissipation.
[0087] In the above embodiments, optionally, the method of heat dissipation through the heat pump system is a conventional mode, wherein the control method for controlling the coolant flow rate is PID control, namely proportional-integral-derivative control, which improves both response speed and response accuracy.
[0088] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the embodiments of the present invention also include an emergency mode, wherein, in the emergency mode, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and a phase-change material (PCM) are used for synergistic cooling. The TEC acts as the active cooling component in the synergistic cooling process, while the PCM acts as a temperature buffer. The combination of the two enables a rapid response time of <0.3s, and their complementary weaknesses result in a faster, more uniform, and more energy-efficient cooling effect.
[0089] In summary, this invention implements a predictive-compensation-self-healing method for heat dissipation control of fast charging harnesses. Prediction refers to predicting the temperature rise of the fast charging harness, specifically by predicting the harness temperature based on the transfer function matrix between the temperature change rate and cooling efficiency, as well as the heat accumulation rate. This prediction stage is equivalent to feedforward compensation of the heat load. For example, a Markov decision process can be used. Compensation refers to the process of heat dissipation for the fast charging harness, specifically by optimizing the coolant flow rate based on an improved model predictive control algorithm in the heat dissipation control strategy. This compensation stage is equivalent to dynamic parameter adjustment. For example, Lyapunov optimization can be used. Self-healing refers to fault-tolerant control, specifically through fault handling strategies. For example, fuzzy Petri nets can be used.

[0091] Firstly, temperature control accuracy has been improved; specifically, the standard deviation of surface temperature of fast charging cables has been reduced; under fast charging conditions, the maximum temperature has decreased significantly; and the temperature fluctuation range is lower.
[0092] Secondly, dynamic response performance is improved; specifically, the system response time is significantly shortened, resulting in a substantial improvement in response performance; the temperature overshoot during current step is reduced; and the prediction accuracy of the digital twin model is higher.
[0093] Thirdly, energy efficiency optimization; specifically, overall energy consumption reduction.
