[0035] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0036] Embodiment one

[0037] The embodiment relates to a vehicle power distribution device 1, which can supply power to a first load 1011 and a second load 1021 with different voltage requirements of a vehicle by improving the structure thereof.

[0038] In modern vehicles, there are many different electrical loads inside the vehicle body, and their working voltage ranges are different, such as low-voltage loads such as lighting systems, instrument panels, electronic control units (ECU), and high-voltage loads such as air conditioning compressors and regenerative braking systems. Therefore, in the face of different voltage requirements of different electrical loads, there are usually two main solutions.

[0039] One solution is to use two independent power supply systems, which has the advantage of providing appropriate voltages for low-voltage (such as 12 V) and high-voltage (such as 48 V or higher) loads, respectively, ensuring that all electrical equipment can work normally without the need for additional voltage conversion steps, simplifying the design of power distribution. However, two independent power supply systems require more physical space to install their respective batteries 201 and charging devices, increasing the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby affecting fuel efficiency or the range of electric vehicles, and two independent power supply systems also increase the initial purchase cost of the vehicle and may also result in higher maintenance costs.

[0040] Another solution is to use a vehicle power distribution device 1 combined with a voltage conversion unit. In this solution, the vehicle only uses one main power supply system, and each electrical component that requires higher voltage is equipped with a separate voltage conversion unit through the vehicle power distribution device 1, reducing the dependence on multiple independent power supply systems. However, although the number of additional power supply systems is reduced, the addition of voltage conversion modules for multiple high-voltage loads also leads to an increase in cost.

[0041] Considering the advantages and disadvantages of the two schemes in the background art, designing a power distribution device that can meet different voltage requirements and effectively reduce the size and cost has become an important research direction. Based on this idea, the embodiment provides a vehicle power distribution device 1, which can supply power to the first load 1011 and the second load 1021 with different voltage requirements by improving its structure.

[0042] As shown in the overall structure, Figure 1 The vehicle power distribution device 1 of the embodiment is used to distribute the power of the power supply device 2 to the first load 1011 and the second load 1021, and the vehicle power distribution device 1 includes a first power distribution circuit 101 and a second power distribution circuit 102 arranged in parallel.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, two voltage conversion units 103 are arranged in at least one of the first power distribution circuit 101 and the second power distribution circuit 102, and the two voltage conversion units 103 are arranged in parallel. The input end of the first power distribution circuit 101 and the input end of the second power distribution circuit 102 are used to be connected with the power supply device 2, the output end of the first power distribution circuit 101 is used to be connected with the first load 1011, and the output end of the second power distribution circuit 102 is used to be connected with the second load 1021.

[0044] By adopting the first power distribution circuit 101 and the second power distribution circuit 102 arranged in parallel, and arranging two voltage conversion units 103 in at least one of the power distribution circuits, the vehicle power distribution device 1 can provide two different voltages. Compared with equipping two completely independent power supply systems, it helps to reduce the space requirement inside the vehicle, reduce the cost and weight of the vehicle, and compared with equipping each electrical component requiring different voltage with a voltage conversion module, it can meet the needs of multiple loads at a lower cost, and reduce the cost of the whole vehicle.

[0045] Among them, the power supply device 2 provides low voltage, and one of the first power distribution circuit 101 or the second power distribution circuit 102 is provided with a voltage conversion unit 103. In the case of the power distribution circuit provided with the voltage conversion unit 103, the power distribution circuit provided with the voltage conversion unit 103 will convert the low voltage into high voltage under the action of the voltage conversion unit 103, and then output the high voltage to the corresponding load. The power distribution circuit without the voltage conversion unit 103 will directly output the low voltage to the corresponding load, so that the vehicle power distribution device 1 outputs two different voltages through the first power distribution circuit 101 or the second power distribution circuit 102.

[0046] In contrast, the power supply device 2 provides high voltage, and in the case that one of the first power distribution circuit 101 or the second power distribution circuit 102 is provided with a voltage conversion unit 103, the power distribution circuit provided with the voltage conversion unit 103 will convert the high voltage into low voltage under the action of the voltage conversion unit 103, and then output low voltage to the corresponding load, and the power distribution circuit without the voltage conversion unit 103 will directly output high voltage to the corresponding load, so that the vehicle power distribution device 1 outputs two different voltages through the first power distribution circuit 101 or the second power distribution circuit 102.

[0047] In addition, when the first power distribution circuit 101 and the second power distribution circuit 102 are both provided with a voltage conversion unit 103, the voltage provided by the power supply device 2 will be converted under the action of the voltage conversion unit 103, and the two voltage conversion units 103 will output two same or different voltages to the corresponding load after converting the voltage, providing greater flexibility, and the voltage demand of various loads can be accurately matched according to actual needs. It is worth mentioning that, in order to facilitate the distinction of the path of the power supply signal of the power distribution circuit, the embodiment shows the power supply signal in the form of a thick solid line segment. Figure 1

[0048] Specifically, the power supply device 2 can provide one of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V, and of course other voltage values can also be provided, which will not be described in detail here. Among them, the first power distribution circuit 101 can provide low voltage circuit for the first load 1011, and the first load 1011 usually includes one of the low voltage electrical components of the lighting system, instrument panel, electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, etc. The second power distribution circuit 102 can provide high voltage circuit for the second load 1021, and the second load 1021 usually includes one of the high voltage electrical components of the air conditioning compressor, regenerative braking system, etc. of the vehicle.

[0049] The first power distribution circuit 101 preferably uses 0.35 mm² to 2.5 mm² copper wires, and a bellows or other protective material can also be used to protect the first power distribution circuit 101 from mechanical damage and environmental effects. The second power distribution circuit 102 preferably uses 6.0 mm² to 25.0 mm² copper wires, and additional protective measures such as metal sheath or special protective tube can also be used on the second power distribution circuit 102 to enhance mechanical strength and anti-interference ability.

[0050] ​Moreover, the voltage conversion units 103 are two, and the two voltage conversion units 103 are arranged in parallel. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the two voltage conversion units 103 can simultaneously convert voltage and balance the load current, which helps to avoid overloading of a single voltage conversion unit 103, prolong its service life, in addition, if one of the voltage conversion units 103 fails, the other voltage conversion unit 103 can still work, thereby improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the entire vehicle power distribution device 1, ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle electrical system, and manufacturers can flexibly adjust the design scheme according to specific application scenarios, increasing the flexibility of the design.

[0051] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 2 The vehicle power distribution device 1 further comprises a first controller 104, and each voltage conversion unit 103 comprises a DC / DC converter. For example, in the present embodiment, the first controller 104 adopts a high-performance microprocessor or embedded computer, and is equipped with rich interfaces and communication protocols to interact with various sensors, actuators and other electronic control units (ECU) of the vehicle.

[0052] The first controller 104 centrally manages and controls the entire power distribution system, dynamically adjusts the working mode, output voltage and current of each DC / DC converter according to the vehicle operating state and the needs of different loads, to achieve the optimal power distribution. The first controller 104 can also adjust the working state of the DC / DC converter in real time, avoid unnecessary energy conversion loss, and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the entire system. In order to distinguish the path of the monitoring signal of the first controller 104 to each DC / DC converter, the present embodiment shows the monitoring signal in the form of a solid line segment. Figure 2

[0053] As a preferred implementation, the first load 1011 and the second load 1021 are both multiple, and at least one of the first power distribution circuit 101 and the second power distribution circuit 102 comprises a main distribution circuit provided with a DC / DC converter, and a plurality of branch distribution circuits connected in parallel at one end of the main distribution circuit. The other end of each main distribution circuit is used to connect with the power supply device 2; the branch distribution circuits in the first power distribution circuit 101 correspond one-to-one to the first load 1011 and are connected respectively, and the branch distribution circuits in the second power distribution circuit 102 correspond one-to-one to the second load 1021 and are connected respectively.

[0054] Specifically, for example, in the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 2 ​As shown in the structure, the first power distribution circuit 101 includes one main distribution circuit and multiple branch distribution circuits connected in parallel to one end of the main distribution circuit. That is, one end of the main distribution circuit is connected to the power supply device 2, and the other end is connected to the multiple branch distribution circuits. The branch distribution circuits in the first power distribution circuit 101 correspond to the first loads one by one, and each branch distribution circuit has one end connected to the main distribution circuit and the other end used for connecting to the first load 1011.

[0055] The second power distribution circuit 102 includes two main distribution circuits and multiple branch distribution circuits. The two main distribution circuits are connected in parallel, and one end of the parallel connection is connected to the power supply device 2, and the other end of the parallel connection is connected to the multiple branch distribution circuits. The two voltage conversion units 103 are respectively arranged on the two main distribution circuits. That is, one end of each branch distribution circuit is connected to one end of the parallel connection of the main distribution circuits, and the other end of each branch distribution circuit is used for connecting to the second load 1021. In this embodiment, as another preferred implementation form, the first load 1011 and the second load 1021 are both multiple, and the first power distribution circuit 101 and the second power distribution circuit 102 both include main distribution circuits provided with DC / DC converters and multiple branch distribution circuits connected in parallel to one end of the main distribution circuits. The other end of each main distribution circuit is used for connecting to the power supply device 2. The branch distribution circuits in the first power distribution circuit 101 correspond to the first loads 1011 one by one and are connected correspondingly. The branch distribution circuits in the second power distribution circuit 102 correspond to the second loads 1021 one by one and are connected correspondingly.

[0056] It can be understood that in the case of failure of a single branch distribution circuit, the working of other branch distribution circuits will not be affected, improving the reliability of the vehicle power distribution device 1. Moreover, since each branch distribution circuit works independently, if the demand of a certain load changes or needs to be upgraded, the second controller 1041 in the branch distribution circuit can be used to adjust the power supply parameters in the branch distribution circuit, without the need to make large-scale changes to the entire vehicle power distribution device 1, improving the flexibility of the system.

[0057] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in the structure, Figure 2 The vehicle power distribution device 1 further includes multiple second controllers 1041 connected to the first controller 104, the second controllers 1041 correspond to the branch distribution circuits one by one, and each branch distribution circuit is provided with a control switch 1042, and each control switch 1042 is connected to the corresponding second controller 1041.

[0058] The advantage of such an arrangement is that the second controller 1041 can flexibly turn on or off the corresponding load according to specific needs, reducing the burden of the first controller 104, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the vehicle power distribution device 1, and in the case of a problem with a certain branch power distribution circuit, the corresponding second controller 1041 can immediately take measures to disconnect the control switch 1042 and isolate the branch power distribution circuit, without affecting the operation of other branch power distribution circuits, not only protecting the rest of the vehicle power distribution device 1 from potential damage, but also further enhancing the safety performance of the entire automobile electrical system. In addition, in order to facilitate the distinction between the control signal paths of the first controller 104-second controller 1041-control switch 1042, the control signal is shown in the form of a dashed line segment in the embodiment. Figure 2

[0059] Furthermore, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the control switch 1042 includes at least one of a metal semiconductor field effect transistor, a relay, a high-side drive chip, a high-power drive chip, and an electronic fuse switch arranged in the branch power distribution circuit. Among them, the metal semiconductor field effect transistor has high reliability and service life, so that the control switch 1042 can realize fast response, which helps to reduce power loss and can allow more accurate control of power distribution.

[0060] In addition, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 Each second controller 1041 is integrated with a voltage detection part, which is used to detect the voltage in the corresponding branch power distribution circuit. The voltage detection part can be at least one of a resistor divider, a Hall effect sensor, and a voltage monitor. By real-time monitoring of the voltage state of the branch power distribution circuit through the voltage detection part, it can be ensured that the voltage is kept within a safe range. Once an abnormality (such as overvoltage or undervoltage) occurs, measures can be taken immediately to prevent damage to the first load 1011 or the second load 1021 and cause a safety accident.

[0061] In the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 The second controller 1041 is integrated with a current detection part, which is used to detect the current in the corresponding branch power distribution circuit. Through the current detection part, the current condition in each branch power distribution circuit can be monitored in real time, which helps to discover abnormal conditions such as overload and short circuit in the branch power distribution circuit in a timely manner to prevent damage to equipment or cause a safety accident.

[0062] ​In a preferred embodiment, the second controller 1041 is integrated with a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the corresponding first load 1011 or second load 1021. By continuously monitoring the temperature of the corresponding first load 1011 or second load 1021, when the temperature of a certain load rises due to abnormal conditions (such as overload, short circuit, poor contact, etc.), the temperature sensor can quickly detect such changes, and once the temperature of the load exceeds the set safety range, the temperature sensor will send a signal to the system, and then immediately issue an alarm, so that potential problems can be warned before they become serious faults, thereby increasing the reliability and safety of the entire electrical system, reducing the risk of fire and other safety hazards. The selection of this integrated second controller also helps to save space.

[0063] Embodiment Two

[0064] The present embodiment relates to a vehicle power supply system, which comprises a power supply device 2 and a vehicle power distribution device 1 of embodiment one connected with the power supply device 2.

[0065] In addition, in the present embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the power supply device 2 comprises a battery 201 and a charging module 202 for charging the battery 201, and the battery 201 and the charging module 202 are connected in parallel and are both connected with the vehicle power distribution device 1.

[0066] The charging module 202 can not only provide power to the vehicle power distribution device 1, but also charge the battery 201. In the case that the charging module 202 fails to supply power to the vehicle power distribution device 1, the battery 201 can supply power to the vehicle power distribution device 1 due to the parallel working of the charging module 202 and the battery 201. The switching process is smooth and uninterrupted, and users will not feel any service interruption or performance fluctuations caused by the switching of power sources, thereby enhancing the flexibility and reliability of the vehicle power supply system.

[0067] Specifically, in a traditional fuel vehicle, the charging module 202 can be composed of an alternator. When the fuel vehicle is running, the engine drives to generate alternating current, which is then converted into direct current by a rectifier to provide voltage to the vehicle power distribution device 1 and charge the battery 201. In an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, the charging module 202 can be integrated in an inverter or other power electronic equipment. When the electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle is running, the electric motor / generator works in reverse mode (i.e. regenerative braking) to generate electric energy to charge the high-voltage battery. In addition, the battery 201 of the power supply device 2 can be an economical lead-acid battery in a traditional fuel vehicle, and a lithium-ion battery with high energy density and light weight in an electric vehicle.

[0068] Embodiment Three

[0069] The embodiment relates to a vehicle provided with the vehicle power supply system of the second embodiment, and the power supply system can ensure smooth power supply at the moment of engine starting or during driving, does not affect the normal operation of the vehicle electronic equipment due to power switching, and brings a more smooth driving experience to users.

[0070] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
