Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mobile power supply equipment, in particular to an alternating current power supply equipment for a mobile food truck. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a flexible catering service carrier, the mobile food truck relies on stable alternating current power supply to drive electrical equipment such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, and electric fryers during operation. The alternating current power supply equipment commonly used in current mobile food trucks has two major problems:

[0003] Low efficiency of power supply: the existing equipment DC power supply interface is mostly adapted to 10-20A conventional current, and single power supply needs 3-5 hours, which is difficult to meet the demand of "short-time rapid power supply and high-frequency operation" of the mobile food truck, especially during peak operation period, and the time-consuming power supply easily leads to operation interruption;

[0004] Insufficient safety protection: the supporting management system mostly only monitors single parameters such as voltage or current, lacks multi-dimensional collaborative monitoring of temperature, leakage risk, etc., and the protection mechanism responds slowly (such as passive power-off only after parameter overrun), which is easy to cause fire or electric shock accidents due to equipment overheating and line leakage, threatening the safety of equipment and operators, so it is necessary to develop an alternating current power supply equipment for a mobile food truck. SUMMARY

[0005] This part aims to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present application and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this part and the abstract and title of the specification of the present application to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract and the title of the specification, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the present application, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] The alternating current power supply equipment for a mobile food truck comprises an electrical main circuit and a supporting BMS management system;

[0016] The leakage protection function is realized by a residual current operating circuit breaker, and the rated residual operating current of the circuit breaker is ≤30mA.

[0017] As a preferred scheme of the mobile dining car AC power supply equipment, the protection parameter setting of the BMS management system forms a three-level progressive protection mechanism.

Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This section provides a detailed introduction to the AC power supply equipment for mobile food trucks.

[0037] This invention provides an AC power supply device for mobile food trucks, including an electrical main circuit, a BMS intelligent management system, and a human-machine interaction module, with the specific structure as follows:

[0038] The main electrical circuit includes a current unit, an inverter unit, and an AC unit;

[0039] The DC unit includes an energy storage module, which uses a lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a capacity of 10kWh to 35kWh, a DC fast charging interface, and a current adaptation circuit. The DC fast charging interface has a rated current of 60A, is compatible with mainstream DC charging piles on the market, and can be directly connected to the charging pile for fast charging. The current is controlled by the BMS main controller in the product, which is model LM317. It can stably adapt the current input from the charging pile to the charging needs of the energy storage module, avoiding current surges that could damage the energy storage battery module.

[0040] The inverter unit is a single-phase hybrid inverter, with the core chip being TI's TMS320F28335DSP, used to achieve bidirectional conversion between AC and DC during charging and DC and AC during discharging, with a conversion efficiency of ≥98%.

[0041] The AC section has multiple external discharge interfaces, including at least a 220V interface, to facilitate compatibility with different power devices in mobile food carts. The interface also integrates a leakage protection module, which uses a residual current operated circuit breaker with a rated residual operating current ≤30mA to achieve rapid disconnection of leakage current in AC output.

[0042] The BMS intelligent management system includes a parameter monitoring module, a power setting module, and a multi-level protection module.

[0043] The parameter monitoring module uses a PT100 temperature sensor, an ACS712 voltage sensor, and an INA219 current sensor to collect the temperature of the energy storage module in real time. The monitoring range is -20℃ to 61℃, the voltage range is 0V to 500V, and the charging and discharging current range is -47A to 47A. The data sampling frequency is 1Hz to ensure the real-time performance of the parameters.

[0044] The power setting module supports setting the charging and discharging power thresholds via the human-machine interaction module and a touch screen. The upper limit of the charging power is 5kW and the upper limit of the discharging power is 3kW. The system automatically adjusts the charging and discharging current according to the set values ​​to avoid overload.

[0045] The multi-level protection module includes preset high and low voltage three-level protection thresholds:

[0046] Level 1 charging warning: When any of the following conditions are met (temperature > 48℃, voltage > 388.8V, or current > 65A), the system will trigger a charging shutdown.

[0047] Level 2 charging warning: When the temperature is greater than 56℃, the voltage is greater than 394.2V, or the current is greater than 68A, the system will trigger a charging shutdown and disconnect the battery pack when any of these conditions are met.

[0048] Three-level charging warning: When the temperature is >61℃, the voltage is >399.6V or the current is >70A, the system will trigger a charging shutdown and disconnect the battery pack when any of these conditions are met.

[0049] Level 1 Discharge Warning: When the temperature is >48℃ or the current is >65A, the system will trigger a discharge shutdown if either condition is met; if the voltage is <313.2V, a low battery alarm will be triggered.

[0050] Level 2 Discharge Warning: When the temperature is >48℃ or the current is >65A, the system will trigger a discharge shutdown if either condition is met; if the voltage is <302.4V, the background system will trigger a strong charging indicator and then trigger a discharge shutdown.

[0051] Level 3 Discharge Warning: When the temperature is greater than 61℃ or the current is greater than 70A, the system will trigger a discharge shutdown and disconnect the battery pack when either condition is met; if the voltage is less than 291.6V, the background will trigger a strong charging indicator, trigger a discharge shutdown, and disconnect the battery pack.

[0052] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0053] During equipment assembly, the energy storage module uses 108 100Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries connected in series, with a total voltage of 345.6V and a capacity of 34.56kWh.

[0054] The DC fast charging interface uses a waterproof aviation plug, model WS28, with a rated current of 80A. It is installed on the side of the device and equipped with a dust cover.

[0055] The inverter unit is based on the TMS320F28335DSP, with a half-bridge inverter circuit built on the periphery. The input voltage is 36V, the output voltage is 220VAC, and the frequency is 50Hz.

[0056] The BMS management system hardware uses an STM32F103C8T6 MCU, which connects to a PT100 temperature sensor, an ACS712 voltage sensor, and an INA219 current sensor. The software is developed based on the FreeRTOS system to realize parameter acquisition, logic judgment, and protection control.

[0057] The workflow includes a charging mode and a discharging mode;

[0058] In the replenishment mode: the device's DC fast charging interface is connected to a 50A DC charging pile. After the BMS system detects the charging signal, it inputs a stable 47A current to the energy storage module through the current adapter circuit, while monitoring the temperature and voltage in real time. When the energy storage module voltage reaches 388.8V and is fully charged, the system automatically cuts off the charging circuit to complete the replenishment.

[0059] Discharge mode: When the electrical equipment of the mobile food cart is connected to the AC output interface, the BMS system adjusts the inverter output according to the set discharge power (e.g., 12kW) and monitors the discharge current in real time; if leakage is detected (residual current > 30mA), the leakage protection module cuts off the AC output within 0.1 seconds, and the BMS background alarm is triggered at the same time.

[0060] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
