The traction integrated control system 3, the pump control assembly 4, the high-voltage air conditioner 5 and the high-voltage-low-voltage power converter 6 are all electrically connected to a vehicle controller 8. The hydrogen fuel cell system 1 is used for dynamic power compensation of the vehicle system, and the vehicle controller 8 is used to control the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell system 1, the lithium-ion battery system 2, the traction integrated control system 3 and the pump control assembly 4 and monitor their status.

[0017] During vehicle operation, the hydrogen fuel cell controller detects the current data message and battery capacity SOC message sent by the lithium battery BMS in real time, dynamically adjusts the hydrogen fuel cell output power according to the current value, and determines the start and stop operation of the hydrogen stack according to the SOC value to avoid overvoltage failure of the lithium battery due to continuous output of the hydrogen stack, or undervoltage failure of the lithium battery due to insufficient output power of the hydrogen stack, which causes the whole vehicle to fail to operate normally. After the selected key switch is turned off, the lithium-ion battery system 2 is powered off according to the set time delay, and high-voltage power and low-voltage power are provided to the hydrogen fuel cell system 1 to ensure that the high-voltage power-off and purge work of the hydrogen fuel cell system 1 are completed.

[0020] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, the high-voltage-low-voltage power converter 6 is electrically connected to the low-voltage control box 7, and the low-voltage control box 7 is electrically connected to the vehicle controller 8 and the starting battery 9 respectively.

[0021] Specifically, the starting battery 9 is divided into three paths, one path goes to the key switch, one path is connected to the contact end of the main contactor 13, and one path is connected to the output end of the high-voltage-low-voltage power converter 6; the other end of the key switch is connected to the ports of the hydrogen fuel cell system 1, the lithium-ion battery system 2, the traction motor controller 31, the high-pressure oil pump motor controller 41, and the vehicle controller 8.

The vehicle control circuit uploads the driver's operation information to the vehicle controller 8 to control the vehicle's driving, steering, sound and light loads; at the same time, the vehicle controller 8 interacts with the lithium battery BMS21 and the traction motor controller 31 through the CAN network to obtain real-time vehicle status information.
