[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] In view of the technical problem that the current high-voltage box uses one electrical component to collect loop current, but cannot determine whether the electrical component is in normal working condition, which poses a functional safety hazard, this embodiment proposes a high-voltage box for electric vehicles, which uses two components with different working principles to collect loop current, ensures the functional safety of the battery system, meets the functional safety requirements of the market and export, and increases market competitiveness.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The electric vehicle high-voltage box of this embodiment includes a box body 1, a BMS2, a positive discharge circuit and a negative discharge circuit.
[0029] The top of the box body 1 is open. In this embodiment, the box body 1 is a box body 1 of a square structure. The box body 1 has two first side walls and a second side wall arranged opposite to each other. The first side wall is penetrated with a battery positive plug-in 3 and a battery negative plug-in 4 arranged side by side. An intranet communication plug-in 12 and a battery grounding bolt 13 are also installed on the first side wall on the side of the battery negative plug-in 4 away from the battery positive plug-in 3. A 2-core discharge plug-in 5 arranged side by side is penetrated and installed on the second side wall. In this embodiment, the 2-core discharge plug-in 5 is a double-core plug-in with 1 hole and 2 holes. A vehicle communication plug-in 14, a vehicle grounding bolt 15 and an explosion-proof valve 16 are also installed on the second side wall. The number of battery positive plug-in 3, battery negative plug-in 4, and 2-core discharge plug-in 5 can be reasonably designed according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, the number of battery positive plug-in 3, battery negative plug-in 4, and 2-core discharge plug-in 5 is two, two, and three respectively. Of course, in its embodiment, as long as the use requirements are met, the battery positive plug-in 3, the battery negative plug-in 4, and the 2-core discharge plug-in 5 can also be other numbers.
[0030] Through the above arrangement, the plug-ins at the battery end and the discharge end of this embodiment are arranged opposite to each other, without any wiring harness crossing and insulation. In addition, the 2-core discharge plug-in 5 uses a double-core plug-in, which can reduce the installation space and facilitate quick plugging and unplugging. The plug-ins next to the battery end and the discharge end are respectively designed with a battery grounding bolt 13 and a vehicle grounding bolt 15, which are respectively connected to the battery system and the vehicle at the same potential, thereby reducing the voltage between the metal casing of the electrical equipment and other metal objects and the ground when leakage or ground short circuit occurs in the electrical system, reducing the risk of electric shock caused by leakage or short circuit, and ensuring personnel safety. The intranet communication plug-in 12 is installed next to the battery end to facilitate the connection between the intranet communication and the battery pack; the vehicle communication plug-in 14 is installed next to the discharge end to facilitate the connection between the vehicle communication plug-in 14 and the vehicle end, and there will be no crossing with the battery end wiring harness.
[0031] BMS2 is installed in the box 1, and the interface of BMS2 is arranged close to the intranet communication plug-in 12 and the vehicle communication plug-in 14. The intranet communication plug-in 12 and the vehicle communication plug-in 14 are arranged close to BMS2 to shorten the wiring distance and stay away from the high-voltage wiring harness to reduce the impact of high-voltage electromagnetic interference on low-voltage signal transmission.
[0032] The discharge positive circuit includes a main positive relay 6, two Hall current sensors 7, a pre-charging circuit, two series copper bars 17 and a series copper bar 2 18. The pre-charging circuit is formed by a pre-charging resistor 10 and a pre-charging relay 11 in series. The main positive relay 6, the two Hall current sensors 7, the pre-charging resistor 10 and the pre-charging relay 11 are all connected to the BMS2 communication. The two series copper bars 17 cross the two Hall current sensors 7 respectively. One end of the two series copper bars 17 is connected to the two battery positive plug-ins 3 respectively and the other end is connected to one end of the main positive relay 6. The other end of the main positive relay 6 is connected to the 1 hole of the three 2-core discharge plug-ins 5 through the series copper bar 2 18. The two ends of the pre-charging circuit are connected to the two ends of the main positive relay 6 respectively. The setting of the pre-charging circuit can avoid the impact of large current on the battery system and electrical components at the moment of power-on.
[0033] The negative discharge circuit includes a shunt 8, a main negative relay 9, two series copper bars 19 and a series copper bar 20. The shunt 8 and the main negative relay 9 are both connected to the BMS 2. One end of the two series copper bars 19 is connected to the two battery negative plug-ins 4 respectively, and the other end of the two series copper bars 19 is connected to one end of the shunt 8, and the other end of the shunt 8 is connected to one end of the main negative relay 9. The other end of the main negative relay 9 is connected to the two holes of the three 2-core discharge plug-ins 5 through the series copper bar 20.
[0034] The electric vehicle high-voltage box of this embodiment uses two components with different working principles to collect loop current. The shunt 8 collects the loop current and transmits it to BMS2 through a voltage signal. BMS2 compares the current value collected by the shunt 8 with the sum of the current values collected by the two Hall current sensors 7 to determine whether there is current abnormality in the discharge circuit, thereby ensuring the functional safety of the battery system.
