Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of energy recovery technology, and in particular to an inductive energy recovery method, an energy recovery control method, an energy recovery system, and a storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] In a truck engine charging system, a high-power generator charges the battery pack via a charging MOSFET. The charging system includes the generator, charging MOSFET, inductor, and battery. Due to the presence of distributed inductance and cable inductance in the charging circuit, when the charging process is suddenly interrupted (such as when the charging MOSFET turns off, the fuse blows, or a circuit fault occurs), a very high back electromotive force will be induced, based on the characteristic that inductor current cannot change abruptly.
[0003] In related technologies, an RC snubber circuit or TVS diode is connected in parallel between the drain and source of the charging MOSFET. The RC snubber circuit or TVS diode dissipates the energy of the distributed inductance and cable inductance as heat. Traditional RC snubber circuits and TVS diodes simply dissipate the induced energy as heat, failing to effectively utilize the inductor energy and easily causing excessive heat generation.

[0011] In some embodiments, determining the duty cycle of the PWM signal of the second switch of the energy absorption circuit based on the absorbable energy includes: determining the operating power of the heating film based on the battery voltage and the maximum safe current of the heating film; and determining the duty cycle based on the absorbable energy and the operating power of the heating film.
[0012] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an energy recovery control method, applied to any of the inductor energy recovery methods provided in the first aspect, comprising: detecting voltage changes at the control terminal of a first switching transistor; when the voltage at the control terminal of the first switching transistor reaches a pre-turn-off threshold, acquiring the instantaneous charging current of the charging circuit, and obtaining the inductor stored energy, duty cycle, and energy absorption time through the inductor energy recovery method; controlling a second switching transistor to operate with a duty cycle and energy absorption time, so that the energy absorption circuit absorbs the inductor stored energy.
[0013] In a third aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an energy recovery system applied to the energy recovery control method provided in the second aspect, comprising: a charging circuit including a battery and a first switching transistor, the first switching transistor being used to connect the battery and a target device for providing charging energy to the battery; an energy absorption circuit including a second switching transistor and a heating film attached to the battery, the second switching transistor being used to connect the heating film and the charging circuit, the second switching transistor being used to conduct the charging circuit and the energy absorption circuit during pre-shutdown; and a main control unit connected to the first switching transistor and the second switching transistor, the main control unit being used to detect voltage changes at the control terminal of the first switching transistor and to control the on / off state of the second switching transistor, the main control unit being also used to detect the temperature of the heating film, and the main control unit being also used to execute the energy recovery control method when the voltage at the control terminal of the first switching transistor reaches a pre-shutdown threshold, so as to obtain a drive signal sent to the control terminal of the second switching transistor, the drive signal being a PWM signal with a duty cycle running during the energy absorption time.

The inductance stored energy is not dissipated unnecessarily, improving energy utilization. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention do not require additional transformer design to recover the inductance stored energy; they utilize the existing heating film of the energy recovery system to absorb the inductance stored energy, thereby not increasing the system size and reducing system cost.

[0022] To make the objectives and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more readily understood, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the listed items.
[0025] In a truck engine charging system, a high-power generator charges the battery pack via a charging MOSFET. The charging system includes the generator, charging MOSFET, inductor, and battery. Due to the presence of distributed inductance and cable inductance in the charging circuit, when the charging process is suddenly interrupted (such as when the charging MOSFET turns off, the fuse blows, or a circuit fault occurs), a very high back electromotive force will be induced, based on the characteristic that inductor current cannot change abruptly.
[0026] In related technologies, an RC snubber circuit or a TVS diode is connected in parallel between the drain and source of the charging MOSFET. The inductor energy is dissipated as heat through the RC snubber circuit or TVS diode to suppress voltage spikes in the system. However, this approach cannot effectively utilize inductor energy and has problems such as low energy utilization, large heat generation, and large size in high-current applications.
[0027] The inventors also discovered that in related technologies, the primary winding of a transformer is used as the main circuit inductor, and the secondary winding is used as the energy feedback winding. The energy feedback winding charges the battery and absorbs the energy of the main circuit. Although this scheme can reduce the energy and reverse voltage borne by the MOSFET in the switching module, it still has the following limitations: (1) It requires the design of an additional transformer, which increases the system size and cost; (2) The energy is ultimately fed back to the battery, which may cause overcharging risk when the battery is fully charged or nearly fully charged.
[0028] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide an inductor energy recovery method. The inductor stored energy is calculated based on the instantaneous charging current of the charging circuit at the moment the first switch is pre-turned off and the equivalent inductance of the charging circuit when the battery stops charging. The energy absorption time is calculated based on the inductor stored energy, energy conversion efficiency, and the influence of the actual temperature of the heating film on the energy absorption time. The absorbable energy per unit time of the heating film is calculated based on the inductor stored energy, energy conversion efficiency, and energy absorption time. Thus, the duty cycle of the PWM signal of the second switch can be calculated based on the absorbable energy, and the operation of the second switch can be controlled according to the duty cycle of the PWM signal, allowing the heating film to absorb the inductor stored energy. This enables the heating film to heat the battery, preventing the inductor stored energy from being dissipated unnecessarily and improving energy utilization. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention do not require the additional design of a transformer to recover the inductor stored energy. Utilizing the existing heating film in the energy recovery system to absorb the inductor stored energy reduces system size and cost. Simultaneously, the inductor stored energy is not fed back to the battery, avoiding the risk of overcharging.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of an energy recovery system provided in some embodiments of the present invention.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the energy recovery system 100 is used to execute the energy recovery control method. The energy recovery system 100 includes a charging circuit 110, an energy absorption circuit 120, and a main control unit 130. The main control unit 130 is connected to the charging circuit 110 and the energy absorption circuit 120.
[0031] The charging circuit 110 includes a battery 111 and a first switching transistor Q1. The first switching transistor Q1 is used to connect the battery 111 and the target device 200 (such as the aforementioned generator) that provides charging power to the battery 111.
[0032] The energy absorption circuit 120 includes a second switch Q2 and a heating film 121 attached to the battery 111. The second switch Q2 is used to connect the heating film 121 and the charging circuit 110. Specifically, the second switch Q2 connects the heating film 121 and the battery 111. The second switch Q2 is also used to turn on the energy absorption circuit 120 and the charging circuit during pre-off.
[0033] The main control unit 130 is connected to the first switching transistor Q1, the second switching transistor Q2, the battery 111, the heating film 121, and the target device 200. Specifically, the main control unit 130 includes a first control pin GATE1, a second control pin GATE2, a voltage detection module 131, and a current detection module 132. The main control unit 130 can be any suitable type of electronic component, such as a microcontroller, FPGA chip, or a single-chip microcomputer.
[0034] In this configuration, the gate (G) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the first control pin GATE1 and the first terminal of the voltage detection module 131. The drain (D) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the target device 200, and the source (S) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery 111 and the second terminal of the voltage detection module 131. The target device 200 is connected to the first terminal of the current detection module 132, and the negative terminal of the battery 111 and the first terminal of the heating film 121 are connected to the second terminal of the current detection module 132. The drain (D) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery 111, the second terminal of the voltage detection module 131, and the source (S) of the first switching transistor Q1. The gate (G) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the second control pin GATE2, and the source (S) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the heating film 121.
[0035] The main control unit 130 detects the change in voltage at the control terminal (i.e., the gate and source of the first switching transistor Q1) through the voltage detection module 131 to determine whether the first switching transistor Q1 has entered a pre-off state and whether it has been turned off. The main control unit 130 is also used to control the turn-on and turn-off of the second switching transistor Q2. Specifically, when the main control unit 130 detects that the first switching transistor Q1 is in a pre-off state, it executes the energy recovery control method in this embodiment of the invention to obtain a drive signal for driving the second switching transistor Q2. The main control unit 130 sends the drive signal to the control terminal (i.e., the gate of the second switching transistor Q2) through the second control pin GATE2.
[0036] The main control unit 130 is also used to detect the temperature of the heating film 121, wherein the heating film 121 is provided with a temperature sensor connected to the main control unit 130. Figure 1 (Not shown in the image), the temperature sensor detects and collects the temperature of the heating film 121 in real time and transmits the temperature of the heating film 121 to the main control unit 130.
[0037] Specifically, the charging circuit 110 is used to charge the battery 111, and the first switching transistor Q1 controls the switching of the charging circuit of the battery 111. When the target device 200 is running, the main control unit 130 applies a conduction signal to the control terminal of the first switching transistor Q1 through the first control pin GATE1 to control the first switching transistor Q1 to conduct. At this time, the target device 200, the first switching transistor Q1, the battery 111, and the main control unit 130 form a charging circuit. The current direction of the charging circuit is: target device 200 → first switching transistor Q1 → battery 111 → main control unit 130 → target device 200. The target device 200 provides charging energy to the battery 111 through the charging circuit, thereby charging the battery 111. During the process of the target device 200 charging the battery 111 through the charging circuit, the second switch Q2 is continuously turned off. The main control unit 130 uses the voltage detection module 131 to detect the voltage at the control terminal (i.e., the gate and source of the first switch Q1) in real time, and uses the current detection module 132 to detect the current of the charging circuit in real time.
[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the voltage detection module 131 of the main control unit 130 can be any existing voltage detection circuit, and can be, but is not limited to, a voltage detection circuit composed of resistors. The current detection module 132 of the main control unit 130 can be any existing current detection circuit, such as a Hall element detection circuit.
[0039] Please see Figure 2 For example, at the instant when the target device 200 stops providing charging power to the battery 111, the target device 200 and the line in the charging circuit 110 will form an equivalent inductance L. When the target device 200 stops running, the equivalent inductance L will store energy. For example, when the target device 200 is a generator, when the generator stops running, the generator winding and the equivalent inductance L formed by the generator and the connection line between the generator and the charging circuit 110 will store energy.
[0040] At the instant the target device 200 stops supplying charging power to the battery, the main control unit 130 simultaneously monitors the turn-off status of the first switch Q1, that is, whether the voltage at the control terminal of the first switch Q1 reaches the pre-turn-off threshold. When the pre-turn-off threshold is reached, a drive signal needs to be provided to the second switch Q2 in a short time so that the energy stored in the equivalent inductance L can be absorbed by the heating film 121 in the energy absorption circuit 120. Figure 2 As shown, at the instant when the target device 200 stops supplying charging power to the battery 111, the following circuit connection relationship is formed:
[0041] The gate (G) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the first control pin GATE1 and the first terminal of the voltage detection module 131. The drain (D) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the first terminal of the equivalent inductance L. The source (S) of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery 111 and the second terminal of the voltage detection module 131. The second terminal of the equivalent inductance L is connected to the first terminal of the current detection module 132. The negative terminal of the battery 111 and the first terminal of the heating film 121 are connected to the second terminal of the current detection module 132. The drain (D) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery 111, the second terminal of the voltage detection module 131, and the source (S) of the first switching transistor Q1. The gate (G) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the second control pin GATE2. The source (S) of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the heating film 121.
[0042] When the voltage at the control terminal of the first switch Q1 reaches the pre-shutdown threshold and is in the pre-shutdown state, the second switch Q2 is activated, thereby forming an energy recovery loop from the equivalent inductance L to the heating film 121: equivalent inductance L → first switch Q1 → second switch Q2 → heating film 121.
[0043] The pre-turn-off state refers to the state in which the first switch Q1 is about to turn off when the voltage at the control terminal of the first switch Q1 reaches the pre-turn-off threshold. For example, if the pre-turn-off threshold is 4V, the first switch Q1 will enter the pre-turn-off state when the voltage at the control terminal of the first switch Q1 drops to the pre-turn-off threshold of 4V. The first switch Q1 needs a certain reaction time from the moment it enters the pre-turn-off state to complete turn-off. The reaction time can be called the time required for predicted turn-off.
[0044] Among them, the time required for prediction shutdown Calculation formula: . In the formula, This represents the reaction time of the first switch Q1 from the moment it enters the pre-turn-off state to the moment it is fully turned off. This is the voltage difference between the gate and source terminals of the first switch Q1 at the instant it enters the pre-off state. This is the voltage difference between the gate and source terminals when the first switch Q1 is completely turned off. To determine the rate of voltage drop at the control terminal of the first switching transistor Q1, it is necessary to... Take the absolute value before performing subsequent calculations.
[0045] For example, the energy absorption time of the second switch Q2 is determined based on the energy stored in the inductor, the energy conversion efficiency of the energy recovery system 100, and a time adjustment term. The time adjustment term characterizes the effect of the actual temperature of the heating film 121 on the energy absorption time.
[0046] For example, the absorbable energy of the heating film 121 per unit time is determined based on the energy stored in the inductor, the energy conversion efficiency of the energy recovery system 100, and the energy absorption time. The duty cycle D of the PWM signal of the second switch Q2 of the energy absorption circuit 120 is then determined based on the absorbable energy.
[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned drive signal sent by the main control unit 130 to the second switch Q2 is a pulse signal (PWM signal) with a duty cycle D that operates during the energy absorption time.
[0048] As can be understood from the above, the implementing entity of the inductor energy recovery method and energy recovery control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention can be any suitable type of main control unit processor with certain computing and control capabilities, such as the main control unit 130 mentioned above.
[0049] The following will describe in detail the inductive energy recovery method and energy recovery control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, with reference to exemplary applications and implementations of the energy recovery system provided in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0050] The following describes in detail the inductor energy recovery method provided by the embodiments of the present invention.
[0051] Understandably, the inductor energy recovery method provided in this embodiment of the invention can be applied to the aforementioned main control unit (e.g., the main control unit 130 of the energy recovery system 100). Specifically, the main control unit of the energy recovery system is the executing entity of the inductor energy recovery method.
[0052] See Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention realizes the inductor energy recovery method through steps S31 to S34.
[0053] S31: Based on the target inductance and target current, determine the inductance stored energy of the target inductance when the battery stops charging.
[0054] Wherein, the target inductance is the equivalent inductance of the charging circuit when the battery stops charging, and the target current is the instantaneous charging current of the charging circuit at the moment when the first switch is pre-turned off.
[0055] In this embodiment, at the instant the target device stops supplying charging power to the battery, an equivalent inductance is formed between the target device and the circuit in the charging circuit. When the target device stops operating, this equivalent inductance stores energy. For example, when the target device is a generator, the equivalent inductance formed by the generator windings and the connection lines between the generator and the charging circuit when the generator stops operating. At the instant the target device stops supplying charging power to the battery, the main control unit simultaneously monitors the turn-off status of the first switching transistor, i.e., whether the voltage at the control terminal of the first switching transistor reaches the pre-turn-off threshold. When the pre-turn-off threshold is reached, a drive signal needs to be provided to the second switching transistor within a short time so that the energy stored in the equivalent inductance can be absorbed by the heating film in the energy absorption circuit. At the instant the target device stops supplying charging power to the battery, an equivalent inductance is formed... Figure 2 The circuit connection is shown. When the voltage at the control terminal of the first switch reaches the pre-turn-off threshold and is in the pre-turn-off state, this embodiment of the invention obtains the equivalent inductance of the charging circuit when the battery stops charging as the target inductance, and obtains the instantaneous charging current of the charging circuit at the moment the first switch is pre-turned off as the target current. After obtaining the target inductance and target current, the inductance stored energy of the target inductance when the battery stops charging is calculated based on the target inductance and target current.
[0056] In some embodiments, the specific process of determining the inductance stored energy of the target inductor when the battery stops charging, based on the target inductance and the target current, is as follows:
[0057] According to the energy calculation formula: Substitute the target inductance and target current into the energy calculation formula to calculate the energy stored in the inductor. To store energy in an inductor For target inductance / equivalent inductance, Target current / instantaneous charging current.
[0058] S32: Determine the energy absorption time of the second switch based on the energy stored in the inductor, the energy conversion efficiency of the energy recovery system, and the time adjustment term.
[0059] Among them, the time adjustment term characterizes the influence of the actual temperature of the heating film on the energy absorption time. The energy absorption time of the second switch is the working time of the second switch, that is, the time it takes for the energy absorption circuit to transfer the energy stored in the inductor to the heating film, which is also the time interval from detecting the first switch's turn-off intention to the voltage spike falling back to the safety threshold.
[0060] For example, in this embodiment of the invention, a time adjustment term is calculated based on the actual temperature of the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-off and the maximum safe temperature. A time reference term is calculated based on the energy stored in the inductor, the energy conversion efficiency, and the maximum safe power of the heating film. The energy absorption time of the second switching transistor is calculated based on the time adjustment term and the time reference term.
[0061] Specifically, embodiments of the present invention obtain the actual temperature of the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-shutdown, as well as the maximum safe temperature and maximum safe power of the heating film. The maximum safe temperature refers to the highest temperature the heating film itself can withstand, and this maximum safe temperature depends on the material and structure of the heating film. The maximum safe power refers to the highest power the heating film itself can withstand over a long period, and this maximum safe power depends on the material and heat dissipation conditions of the heating film. In some embodiments, the maximum safe temperature and maximum safe power of the heating film are stored in the local storage of the energy recovery system (e.g., the storage module of the main control unit), and embodiments of the present invention obtain the maximum safe temperature and maximum safe power of the heating film from the local storage of the energy recovery system. In other embodiments, embodiments of the present invention read the actual temperature of the heating film detected and collected by a temperature sensor equipped on the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-shutdown, thereby obtaining the actual temperature of the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-shutdown.
[0062] In some embodiments, the energy conversion efficiency of an energy recovery system refers to the overall efficiency of converting inductively stored energy into thermal energy. This energy conversion efficiency includes the conversion efficiency of the energy absorption circuit, the thermal energy conversion efficiency of the heating film, etc. It is understood that in any electrical-to-thermal energy conversion system, the energy conversion efficiency cannot reach 100%. The energy conversion efficiency within the range of [0.7, 0.9] is an empirical value in power electronics design. In this embodiment of the invention, engineers preset the energy conversion efficiency of the energy recovery system to 0.9 and store it in the local storage of the energy recovery system (e.g., the storage module of the main control unit). This embodiment of the invention obtains the energy conversion efficiency of the energy recovery system from its local storage. It should be understood that in other systems, engineers set the energy conversion efficiency to any suitable value based on experimental data and empirical data.
[0063] See Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, steps S321 to S323 are used to realize the energy conversion efficiency and time adjustment item based on the inductor energy storage and energy recovery system, and to determine the energy absorption time of the second switch.
[0064] S321: Determine the time adjustment item based on the maximum safe temperature of the heating film and the actual temperature of the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-shutdown.
[0065] In some embodiments, the specific process for determining the time adjustment term based on the maximum safe temperature of the heating film and the actual temperature of the heating film when the charging circuit is pre-shutdown is as follows:
[0066] The temperature difference is determined based on the maximum safe temperature and the actual temperature.
[0067] The temperature percentage is determined based on the quotient of the temperature difference and the maximum safe temperature.
[0068] The time adjustment item is determined by multiplying the temperature percentage value and the preset adjustment weight.
