Detailed Implementation

[0011] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote 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 intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0012] The vehicle control method, control device, electronic device, vehicle, and storage medium of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle high-voltage system provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0014] like Figure 1As shown, the high-voltage system of the vehicle in this embodiment includes: a first semiconductor switch SSR1, a power battery Bat, a diode D1, an inductor L11, a bus capacitor Cm, and a high-voltage bus. The anode of the diode D1 and the first terminal of the bus capacitor Cm are respectively connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage bus. The cathode of the diode D1 and the first terminal of the inductor L11 are connected and then connected to the positive terminal of the power battery Bat through the first semiconductor switch SSR1. The negative terminal of the power battery Bat, the second terminal of the inductor L11, and the second terminal of the bus capacitor Cm are all connected to the negative terminal of the high-voltage bus.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-voltage system of this embodiment further includes a second semiconductor switch SSR2 and a discharge switch K. The second semiconductor switch SSR2 is connected between the negative terminal of the power battery Bat and the negative terminal of the high-voltage bus, and the discharge switch K is connected between the positive terminal of the power battery Bat and the negative terminal of the high-voltage bus.

[0016] For example, both the first semiconductor switch SSR1 and the second semiconductor switch SSR2 are solid-state relays or electronic switches composed of power semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs and IGBTs.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-voltage system of this embodiment further includes a measuring resistor shunt and a fuse, which are connected in series between the first semiconductor switch SSR1 and the positive terminal of the power battery. The measuring resistor shunt is used to measure the current flowing through the positive terminal of the high-voltage bus, and the fuse is used to disconnect the circuit in the event of a short circuit or severe overcurrent fault, providing hardware-level overcurrent protection to prevent device damage or thermal runaway risks.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for regulating the voltage of a vehicle high-voltage bus according to an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0019] It should be noted that the voltage regulation method for the vehicle high-voltage bus in this embodiment can be executed by a voltage regulation device for the vehicle high-voltage bus, which can be integrated into an electronic device, such as a vehicle controller, battery manager, or dedicated testing equipment. The electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a vehicle.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the voltage regulation method for the vehicle high-voltage bus of this disclosure includes the following steps: S201, in response to the high voltage system completing the high voltage connection, obtains the battery voltage of the power battery and the target voltage of the high voltage bus.

[0021] For example, after the high-voltage system pre-charge is completed and the main circuit is established, the battery voltage Vbat of the power battery is obtained through the voltage sampling unit, and the target voltage of the high-voltage bus, such as 800, is determined according to the vehicle operating mode (such as driving, charging, energy recovery) or system control strategy. The target voltage of the high-voltage bus can be a fixed value or can be dynamically adjusted according to the load power demand, battery SOC, or thermal management status.

[0022] S202, based on the battery voltage and the target voltage, controls the first semiconductor switch in a pulse width modulation manner, so that the DC converter composed of the first semiconductor switch, diode, inductor and bus capacitor operates in the corresponding mode.

[0023] For example, when the battery voltage is detected to be lower than the target voltage, it is determined that boost operation is required. The vehicle controller controls the first semiconductor switch SSR1 to periodically turn on and off in a pulse width adjustment manner, so that the DC-DC converter operates in boost mode. When the battery voltage is detected to be equal to the target voltage, it is determined that there is no need to boost or buck the voltage. The vehicle controller controls the first semiconductor switch SSR1 to periodically turn on and off in a pulse width adjustment manner, so that the DC-DC converter works in a voltage regulation mode. If the battery voltage is detected to be greater than the target voltage, it is determined that a step-down is required. The vehicle controller controls the first semiconductor switch SSR1 to periodically turn on and off in a pulse width modulation manner, so that the DC-DC converter operates in step-down mode.

[0024] During the period when the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned on, the inductor L11 absorbs and stores energy from the power battery Bat. During the period when the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned off, the inductor L11 releases energy to the bus capacitor Cm through the diode.

[0025] Therefore, when the vehicle is parked or the high voltage is reduced, the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is completely disconnected, achieving reliable isolation of the high-voltage circuit. During vehicle operation, the first semiconductor switch SSR1, diode D1, and inductor L11 work together to form a non-isolated Buck-Boost power converter, dynamically boosting or bucking the battery voltage of the power battery to keep the high-voltage bus voltage on the load side stably maintained within the target range (e.g., 800V±30V). This eliminates the need for an additional dedicated DC-DC converter, effectively reducing system hardware complexity and cost. Through this voltage regulation mechanism, when the battery's SOC is low and the terminal voltage is insufficient, the voltage can be automatically boosted to ensure sufficient power supply to high-voltage loads such as the electric drive, improving the overall vehicle power performance. Conversely, when the battery's SOC is high and the battery voltage is too high, buck control is implemented to effectively suppress bus overvoltage, avoiding safety risks such as device breakdown and insulation failure caused by excessive voltage, thus balancing performance, efficiency, and high-voltage safety.

[0026] Furthermore, this disclosure, through dynamic boost or buck control of the battery voltage of the power battery (Bat), can maintain a stable high-voltage bus voltage across the entire range of battery state of charge (SOC) from 0% to 100%, meeting the requirements of electric drive and charging systems for a constant high-voltage platform. This relaxes the requirements for the operating voltage window of the power battery, further reducing the design and development costs of the battery system. For example, under high SOC conditions, the battery terminal voltage may exceed the system's rated upper limit. Active buck control can effectively suppress the risk of bus overvoltage, reduce the high-voltage safety risks of the entire vehicle, and enhance system robustness. As another example, under low SOC conditions, a drop in battery voltage can easily limit the output power of the electric drive system. Maintaining a stable bus voltage through boost control can ensure the electric drive system continuously outputs high performance, improving the vehicle's acceleration and dynamic response capabilities. Moreover, under low SOC conditions, the PTC heater's output power may decrease due to insufficient bus voltage, resulting in slow heating of the cabin or battery. This disclosure, by boosting the bus voltage, ensures that the PTC receives sufficient power across the entire SOC range, significantly improving the vehicle's thermal management efficiency and user experience.

[0027] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for regulating the voltage of a vehicle high-voltage bus according to another embodiment of this disclosure.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the voltage regulation method for the vehicle high-voltage bus of this disclosure embodiment further includes: S301, when the DC converter is operating in the corresponding mode, determines the voltage deviation between the bus voltage of the high-voltage bus and the target voltage.

[0029] For example, after the DC-DC converter has entered boost, buck, or regulated mode based on the battery voltage V_bat and the target voltage V_target, the bus voltage Vact of the high-voltage bus is obtained, and the voltage deviation between the bus voltage Vact and the target voltage V_target is calculated.

[0030] S302, determine the first target duty cycle of the first semiconductor switch based on the voltage deviation.

[0031] For example, within any control cycle, the duty cycle correction amount is determined based on the voltage deviation, and the duty cycle correction amount is added to the duty cycle of the previous control cycle to obtain the first target duty cycle of the current control cycle.

[0032] For example, the process of determining the duty cycle correction is as follows: The proportional correction is obtained by multiplying the voltage deviation by a preset proportional gain; the integral correction is obtained by integrating the voltage deviation and multiplying it by a preset integral gain; the proportional correction and the integral correction are added together to obtain the duty cycle correction. Finally, this duty cycle correction is superimposed on the duty cycle of the previous control cycle to generate the first target duty cycle of the current control cycle, which is used to generate a pulse width modulation signal to drive the first semiconductor switch SSR1.

[0033] S303 controls the turning on and off of the first semiconductor switch according to the pulse width modulation signal corresponding to the first target duty cycle.

[0034] For example, after obtaining the first target duty cycle of the current control cycle, a corresponding pulse width modulation signal is generated based on the first target duty cycle of the current control cycle, and this pulse width modulation signal is applied to the driving terminal of the first semiconductor switch SSR1 to periodically control its on and off states. Within one switching cycle: When the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned on, the power battery supplies power to the inductor through the first semiconductor switch SSR1, the inductor current rises, and the electrical energy is stored in the form of a magnetic field. When the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned off, the inductor L11 generates a reverse electromotive force, causing current to freewheel through diode D1 and charge the bus capacitor on the high-voltage bus side. It should be noted that the current direction of inductor L11 does not change abruptly when the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned off.

[0035] Therefore, by adjusting the duty cycle, this disclosure can control the ratio of inductor energy storage and release in each cycle, thereby precisely adjusting the bus voltage of the high-voltage bus to stably track the target voltage.

[0036] Figure 4 A flowchart of a vehicle control method provided in another embodiment of this disclosure.

[0037] like Figure 4The vehicle control method of this disclosure includes: S401 receives a request to apply high voltage and controls the high voltage system to apply high voltage.

[0038] S402, the high-voltage system has been detected to have completed the high-voltage connection.

[0039] S403 detects the battery voltage V_bat of the power battery and the target voltage V_target of the high-voltage bus.

[0040] S404, Determine if V_bat > V_target is true. If yes, proceed to step S405; otherwise, proceed to step S406.

[0041] The S405 DC-DC converter operates in buck mode to achieve voltage reduction.

[0042] S406, Determine if V_bat = V_target is true. If yes, proceed to step S407; otherwise, proceed to step S408.

[0043] The S407 DC-DC converter operates in voltage regulation mode to achieve voltage regulation.

[0044] The S408 DC-DC converter operates in boost mode to achieve voltage boost.

[0045] S409, in any operating mode, acquires the bus voltage Vact of the high-voltage bus and performs voltage closed-loop control based on the voltage deviation between the bus voltage Vact and the target voltage V_target.

[0046] S410 enables stable control of the bus voltage of the high-voltage bus. For example, Vact = V_target ± 20V.

[0047] In one embodiment of this disclosure, upon receiving a request for high voltage reduction from a vehicle, the bus capacitor needs to be actively discharged. The process of actively discharging the bus capacitor includes: Upon receiving a request for high voltage reduction from a vehicle, the system controls the second semiconductor switch SSR2 to open. While SSR2 is open, the system controls the discharge switch K to close. While K is closed, the system controls the first semiconductor switch SSR1 to turn on and off with a second target duty cycle to actively discharge the bus capacitor Cm. Specifically, if a vehicle collision event is detected, the second target duty cycle is determined to be the first set discharge duty cycle; if no collision event is detected, the second target duty cycle is determined to be the second set discharge duty cycle. The first set discharge duty cycle is greater than the second set discharge duty cycle.

[0048] During the active discharge of the bus capacitor Cm, if the temperature of the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is higher than the set temperature threshold, the second target duty cycle is reduced, and the first semiconductor switch SSR1 is turned on and off with the reduced target duty cycle to actively discharge the bus capacitor Cm until the bus voltage of the high voltage bus is detected to drop below the set voltage threshold, then the active discharge of the bus capacitor Cm is determined to be completed.

[0049] Therefore, this disclosure allows for the adjustment of the SSR1's duty cycle according to different discharge scenarios, effectively adjusting the discharge resistor's resistance value to achieve dynamic control of the active discharge rate and complete the corresponding energy discharge task. Simultaneously, real-time monitoring of the bus voltage and the temperature of the first semiconductor switch SSR1 during discharge enables timely termination of discharge when the voltage drops to a safe threshold and automatic reduction of the duty cycle to prevent thermal damage when the temperature is too high. This balances discharge speed and system reliability, effectively improving the safety, responsiveness, and device durability of the vehicle's high-voltage system. Furthermore, the semiconductor switch SSR in this embodiment can not only be used as an electronic switch but also as a controllable power converter—by configuring different PWM control strategies, the same hardware can dynamically perform multiple functions such as pre-charging, active discharging, and current regulation at different time periods, achieving high integration and multi-functional reuse.

[0050] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of active discharge provided for one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the active discharge process of this embodiment includes the following steps: S501 received a request to reduce the high voltage.

[0052] S502, after the high-voltage condition is met, disconnect SSR2.

[0053] S503, Close discharge switch K.

[0054] S504, determine whether a collision event has occurred. If yes, proceed to step S505; if no, proceed to step S507.

[0055] S505, normal discharge mode.

[0056] S506, drive SSR1 according to the first set discharge duty cycle D1.

[0057] S507, Emergency Discharge Mode.

[0058] S508 drives SSR1 according to the second set discharge duty cycle D2.

[0059] S509, determine if the temperature of SSR1 exceeds the set temperature threshold. If yes, proceed to step S510; otherwise, proceed to step S511.

[0060] S510 reduces the duty cycle D of the second target, thereby reducing the discharge power.

[0061] S511, obtain the bus voltage V_Bus and determine whether the bus voltage V_Bus < 60V is true. If yes, proceed to step S512.

[0062] S512, active discharge complete, SSR1 disconnected.

[0063] In summary, the high-voltage system of the vehicle according to the embodiments of this disclosure includes a first semiconductor switch, a power battery, a diode, an inductor, a bus capacitor, and a high-voltage bus. The anode of the diode and the first terminal of the bus capacitor are respectively connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage bus. The cathode of the diode and the first terminal of the inductor are connected and then connected to the positive terminal of the power battery via the first semiconductor switch. The negative terminal of the power battery, the second terminal of the inductor, and the second terminal of the bus capacitor are all connected to the negative terminal of the high-voltage bus. In response to the high-voltage system completing the high-voltage connection, the battery voltage of the power battery and the target voltage of the high-voltage bus are obtained. Based on the battery voltage and the target voltage, the first semiconductor switch is controlled using pulse width modulation, causing the DC-DC converter composed of the first semiconductor switch, diode, inductor, and bus capacitor to operate in the corresponding mode.
