Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric boat communication control, in particular to an electrical system for a single-drive boat. Background Art
[0002] The existing mechanical architecture of fuel-powered ships is not compatible with the development needs of pure electric ships. The electrification and intelligent development needs of various subsystems of pure electric ships are based on the application design of pure electric ships. In order to reduce the bulkiness of the system layout and reduce the interconnection between systems, a modular design of the structure is often adopted. The advantage of this model is that each functional module is independent of each other, and the data transmission between them is realized on the shipboard network bus architecture. The result is that the operation of each function is clear and there are very few connecting lines between them. Normally, a functional module only needs to be supplied with power and a communication link. The network-based communication link realizes the coordinated control of the navigation process under the overall control of the entire ship controller.
[0003] An important concept in ship design is that the entire device must have very high reliability and safety redundancy. Once a functional component loses control, it must be able to maintain the original controllable state of navigation, quickly judge and deal with the problem, and immediately resume operation after the problem is solved. If the ship loses control, it may collide and overturn on the surface of rivers, lakes, and other places depending on the direction of the water flow.
[0004] After searching, the patent: A communication control device for pure electric boats (CN201910292550.8) includes a main controller, an energy system, a drive system and an inverter system. The main controller is connected to the energy system, the drive system and the inverter system through three CAN bus networks, one of which uses a cable medium and the other two use an optical fiber medium. One of the three CAN bus networks is in working state and the other two are in standby state. However, the above-mentioned devices are not integrated enough, and there are also deficiencies in network construction, which affects subsequent upgrades and expansions.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the designers have actively carried out research and innovation in order to create a new type of single-drive marine electrical system to make it more valuable for industrial use. Utility Model Content

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the utility model includes a hardware architecture and a network architecture.
[0030] The hardware architecture is divided into power battery pack and cooling system (power battery cooling water pump drive system cooling water pump), motor drive system, steering system, lifting system, instrumentation, and whole ship controller system based on functional definition.
[0031] The ship's power distribution uses high-voltage distribution devices (power battery high-voltage distribution cabinets) and low-voltage distribution devices (low-voltage distribution boxes, including DC12V, DC24V, etc.) as the energy distribution units for the entire ship.
[0032] The network control and line control backup redundancy of the whole ship controller serve as the basis of the whole ship electrical hardware architecture.
[0033] The network architecture uses the ship controller (BCU) as the central gateway, integrates the entire ship network according to functional requirements and implements domain isolation, including power battery segment, main motor segment, steering segment, power high and low voltage inverter segment, water cooling system segment, instrument segment, push rod segment, and steering wheel segment. The data interaction control of each segment function is uniformly carried out by the ship controller.
[0034] Signal control and message data are self-defined (defined by the field). This distributed architecture is conducive to the independent configuration of network segment data and free increase and decrease. It is also convenient for the basic data of the later expansion of smart ship needs to be flexibly configured.
[0035] The power battery network segment needs to complete the autonomous management of the power battery, realize the battery voltage, current, temperature, internal resistance, SOC, SOH, charging and discharging, power battery fault analysis, high-voltage distribution relay control, battery intelligent low-temperature heating management, and respond to the network control requirements and data feedback of the whole ship controller in a timely manner;

[0038] The high and low voltage inverter network segment of the power supply needs to complete the work instruction requirements sent by the whole ship controller, execute the relevant high-voltage DC input according to the network control signal, and convert it into ship-use low-voltage power supply for all low-voltage electrical equipment on the whole ship, and provide real-time feedback on the working status and fault status of the inverter conversion device.
[0039] The water cooling system segment performs cooling of the power battery and drive system according to the working flow and pressure sent by the execution end controller.
[0040] The instrument network segment serves as a feedback display terminal, interprets the information sent by the ship's controller, power battery, and drive system into relevant gear information, speed and torque information, power battery voltage, current, power, and the status of the entire ship for intuitive display, and integrates and feeds back the entire ship's fault information.
[0041] As the execution end, the push rod network segment sends the gear position signal and throttle opening signal to the whole ship controller through the network, and the whole ship controller makes judgments and performs subsequent execution operations.
[0042] The steering wheel network segment acts as the execution end and sends the steering signal to the whole ship controller through the network, and the whole ship controller makes a judgment and performs subsequent execution operations.
[0043] The network segment in the utility model is the communication construction, which is the communication between various systems, and the utility model adopts the CAN communication method.
