[0088] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, by setting a first rectifier-inverter unit and a second rectifier-inverter unit on the secondary winding of the first transformer, the first rectifier-inverter unit can convert the AC power output by the first transformer into DC power, and the second rectifier-inverter unit can convert the DC power into AC power and output it to the first power supply terminal, so that the first power supply terminal provides AC power to the outside, which is beneficial to maintaining the voltage stability of the first power supply terminal.
[0089] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to control the first battery pack and the second battery pack to perform power balancing via the control circuit in a balancing mode, so as to reduce the power difference between the first battery pack and the second battery pack.
[0090] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, when the difference in charge level between the first battery pack and the second battery pack is greater than a first preset charge threshold, the controller operates in a balancing mode. The controller can control the bridge arm in the control circuit to operate in a corresponding switching state, allowing the battery pack with higher charge level to charge the battery pack with lower charge level, thereby achieving charge balance between the first and second battery packs. Furthermore, after the bridge arm in the control circuit is in an open state and remains stationary for a first preset time, the controller again detects the charge difference between the first and second battery packs. If the charge difference is still greater than the first preset charge threshold, the controller again selects the battery pack with higher charge level to charge the battery pack with lower charge level until the charge difference between the first and second battery packs is less than a second preset charge threshold. This second preset charge threshold is less than the first preset charge threshold, and the second preset charge threshold can be set to be less than 1% of the first battery pack's charge level.
[0091] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to control the low-voltage battery and the energy storage circuit to charge each other in a first self-heating mode.
[0092] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery is low, the battery device can be controlled to work in the first self-heating mode, and the low-voltage battery and the energy storage circuit can be controlled to charge each other so that the low-voltage battery can be self-heated. The low-voltage battery is charged by pulse self-heating, which not only reduces the cost, but also has a smaller total voltage and current ripple during the pulse heating process, making the heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.

This not only reduces the cost, but also has a smaller total voltage and current ripple during the pulse heating process, making the heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, making the structure of the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0095] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to, in AC charging mode, control the voltage conversion circuit to convert the AC power from the first power supply terminal to DC power and charge the low-voltage battery.
[0096] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, when AC power is connected to the first power supply terminal, AC and DC conversion can be realized through the voltage conversion circuit. The voltage conversion circuit converts the AC power provided by the first power supply terminal into DC power to charge the low-voltage battery, so that the AC charging pile can directly charge the battery device, which facilitates the independent charging of the battery device in the vehicle and expands the application of the battery device in new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles.

[0098] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, when the AC load is connected to the first power supply terminal, the controller operates in AC power supply mode. The voltage conversion circuit converts the DC power output from the low-voltage battery into AC power output to the first power supply terminal, so that the low-voltage battery can realize AC power supply for the vehicle through the voltage conversion circuit. This can reduce the hidden danger of the power battery pack in the new energy vehicle providing AC power to the vehicle interior and affecting the vehicle's power output. It can also provide AC power to the vehicle in the fuel vehicle, expanding the application of battery devices in both new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles.

[0129] In related technologies, the battery pack is directly connected to the power supply terminal, and its charging current and charging voltage are affected by the electrical parameters of the power supply terminal. If a fixed current charging or a mismatched voltage charging is used, it will have a significant impact on the battery life and also pose safety hazards.
[0130] This application provides a battery device, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1As shown, the battery device in this embodiment includes: a low-voltage battery 100, a voltage conversion circuit 400, and a controller 700. The voltage conversion circuit 400 is connected to the low-voltage battery 100 and the first power supply terminal 610. The voltage conversion circuit 400 converts the output voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 into a power supply voltage and outputs it through the first power supply terminal 610, or converts the voltage input to the first power supply terminal 610 into a charging voltage to charge the low-voltage battery 100. The controller 700 is connected to the voltage conversion circuit 400 and is used to adjust the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0131] In this embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 400 is connected to the low-voltage battery 100 and the first power supply terminal 610. The controller 700 can adjust the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100. If the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 changes significantly due to changes in the required power, the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 can be adjusted by adjusting the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be adjusted to output a voltage that matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 to charge the low-voltage battery 100, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the battery device and improving the stability of the battery device.
[0132] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 400 may include at least one of a half-bridge, a transformer, and an energy storage device. The half-bridge can realize the conversion between DC and AC, or the half-bridge can be combined with the energy storage device to realize voltage conversion. The half-bridge can also be combined with the transformer to realize the step-up and step-down regulation of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0133] In this embodiment, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 include voltage and current. By integrating the low-voltage battery 100 and the voltage conversion circuit 400 into the battery device, the overall installation and adjustment of the battery device can be facilitated without the need for additional peripheral circuits or devices based on the application scenario. This has the advantages of simple installation and structure. For example, when the battery device is installed in a vehicle, the low-voltage battery 100 needs to be charged according to the charging MAP of the lithium battery. Otherwise, it will affect the battery life and may even generate lithium dendrites in severe cases, posing a safety hazard. Traditional generators cannot achieve real-time adjustment according to the charging MAP, and the output current closed-loop cycle of the DC-DC converter is relatively long, posing a risk of overcharging. By integrating the voltage conversion circuit 400 into the battery device, the charging voltage and charging current of the low-voltage battery 100 can be adaptively adjusted according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610.
[0134] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 400 includes at least one half-bridge. The operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 include the switching duty cycle of the half-bridge. The controller 700 can control the buck-boost ratio of the voltage conversion circuit 400 by controlling the switching duty cycle of the half-bridge, and can also control the rectification and inversion operating states of the half-bridge.
[0135] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 400 includes at least one half-bridge and an inductor. The midpoint of the half-bridge is connected to the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100 via the inductor. By controlling the switching duty cycle of the half-bridge, the step-up / step-down ratio of the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be controlled.
[0136] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 400 includes at least one half-bridge and a transformer, with one winding of the half-bridge and the transformer connected in series. By controlling the switching duty cycle of the half-bridge, the step-up / step-down ratio of the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be controlled.
[0137] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the battery device in this embodiment further includes: a main switch circuit 710, which is connected to the low-voltage battery 100 and the first power supply terminal 610, and is used to control the connection relationship between the low-voltage battery 100 and the first power supply terminal 610; and a controller 700, which is connected to the voltage conversion circuit 400 and the main switch circuit 710, and is used to adjust the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 and the main switch circuit 710 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0138] In this embodiment, the low-voltage battery 100 can be connected to the first power supply terminal 610 via a main switch circuit 710 or via a voltage conversion circuit 400. During charging, if the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 is turned on, and the first power supply terminal 610 can directly charge the low-voltage battery 100. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 can be turned off, and the controller 700 controls the voltage conversion circuit 400 to convert the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610, outputting a voltage that matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 for charging. The controller 700 also adjusts the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, reducing the influence of the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 on the charging of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0139] In some embodiments, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 include at least one of the charging voltage, charging current, and charging power of the first power supply terminal 610.
[0140] In some embodiments, the first power supply terminal 610 is connected to DC power. If the voltage of the DC power matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the low-voltage battery 100 can be directly charged by the main switch circuit 710.
[0141] In some embodiments, the AC power connected to the first power supply terminal 610 can be converted into DC power by the voltage conversion circuit 400. The voltage of the DC power is matched to that of the low-voltage battery 100 to charge the low-voltage battery 100.
[0142] In some embodiments, the voltage matched to the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 may be a first preset voltage, which may be determined based on the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100. For example, the first preset voltage may be 1.1 to 1.2 times the nominal voltage of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0143] In some embodiments, the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 include at least one of the following: battery model, battery voltage, battery capacity, internal resistance, state of charge (SOC), and state of health (SOH).
[0144] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the first power supply terminal 610 to select one of the power supply circuits of the main switch circuit 710 and the voltage conversion circuit 400 to charge the low-voltage battery 100 based on the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610.
[0145] In this embodiment, the controller 700 can select one of the main switch circuit 710 and the voltage conversion circuit 400 to charge the low-voltage battery 100 based on the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 is turned on, and the first power supply terminal 610 can directly charge the low-voltage battery 100. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 can be turned off, and the low-voltage battery 100 is charged by the first power supply terminal 610 through the voltage conversion circuit 400. This allows the battery device to be charged when different voltages are applied to the first power supply terminal 610, reducing the influence of the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 on the charging of the low-voltage battery 100.
[0146] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the switching frequency of the main switch circuit 710 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, so as to adjust the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 charging the low-voltage battery 100 through the main switch circuit 710.
[0147] In this embodiment, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 may include the voltage, current, and charging power of the first power supply terminal 610, and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 may include the voltage, SOC, and other parameters of the low-voltage battery 100. The controller 700 can adjust the switching frequency of the main switch circuit 710 according to the battery parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the low-voltage battery 100, thereby adjusting the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 charging the low-voltage battery 100 through the main switch circuit 710. This allows the charging current to be adjusted at any time according to the changes in the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, which is beneficial to extending the life of the low-voltage battery 100 and improving the charging safety of the battery device.
[0148] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 and the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610, so as to adjust the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 charging the low-voltage battery 100 through the voltage conversion circuit 400.
[0149] In this embodiment, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 may include the voltage, current, and charging power of the first power supply terminal 610, and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 may include the voltage, SOC, and other parameters of the low-voltage battery 100. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 is turned on, and the first power supply terminal 610 can directly charge the low-voltage battery 100. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the main switch circuit 710 can be turned off, and the low-voltage battery 100 is charged by the first power supply terminal 610 through the voltage conversion circuit 400. This allows the battery device to be charged when different voltages are connected to the first power supply terminal 610, reducing the influence of the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 on the charging of the low-voltage battery 100. The controller 700 can adjust the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the battery parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the low-voltage battery 100, thereby adjusting the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 charging the low-voltage battery 100 through the voltage conversion circuit 400. This allows the charging current to be adjusted in real time according to the changes in the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, which is beneficial to extending the life of the low-voltage battery 100 and improving the charging safety of the battery device.
[0150] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the low-voltage battery 100 to select one of the power supply circuits of the main switch circuit 710 and the voltage conversion circuit 400 to supply power to the first power supply terminal 610 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610.
[0151] In this embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 400 has a bidirectional voltage conversion function. For example, it can convert the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 into a charging voltage to charge the low-voltage battery 100, or it can convert the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 into a discharging voltage to supply power to the first power supply terminal 610. The electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 include the required voltage. Under discharge conditions, when the difference between the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 and the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 is small, the main switch circuit 710 is turned on, and the low-voltage battery 100 can directly supply its voltage to the first power supply terminal 610. When the difference between the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 and the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 is large, the voltage conversion circuit 400 can step down or step up the voltage supplied by the low-voltage battery 100, so that the voltage output by the voltage conversion circuit 400 is consistent with the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610, thereby expanding the application range of the battery device.
[0152] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the switching frequency of the main switch circuit 710 according to the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 and the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610, so as to adjust the discharge parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 discharging to the first power supply terminal 610 through the main switch circuit 710.
[0153] In this embodiment, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 include the required voltage. Under discharge conditions, when the difference between the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 and the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 is small, the main switch circuit 710 is turned on, and the low-voltage battery 100 can directly supply its voltage to the first power supply terminal 610. The controller 700 can adjust the discharge current of the low-voltage battery 100 by controlling the switching frequency of the main switch circuit 710, so that the discharge current can be adjusted according to the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100. This allows the discharge current to be adjusted at any time according to the changes in the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, which can reduce the risk of over-discharge of the low-voltage battery 100 and help extend the life of the low-voltage battery 100. Furthermore, the controller 700 can also adjust the discharge current according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610, which helps to improve the discharge safety of the battery device.
[0154] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 and the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610, so as to adjust the discharge parameters of the low-voltage battery 100 discharging to the first power supply terminal 610 through the voltage conversion circuit 400.
[0155] In this embodiment, the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 include the required voltage. When the difference between the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 and the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 is large, the voltage conversion circuit 400 can step down or step up the voltage provided by the low-voltage battery 100 to control the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 to remain within a preset voltage range. This ensures that the voltage output by the voltage conversion circuit 400 matches the required voltage of the first power supply terminal 610, expanding the application range of the battery device. Furthermore, the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be adjusted according to the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery 100, so that the discharge power of the first power supply terminal 610 needs to be adjusted according to the battery parameters. This reduces the risk of over-discharge of the low-voltage battery 100, which helps to extend the life of the low-voltage battery 100. In addition, the controller 700 can also adjust the discharge current according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610, which helps to improve the discharge safety of the battery device.
[0156] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, a buffer capacitor C1 is provided between the positive terminal V+ and the negative terminal GND of the first power supply terminal 610. The buffer capacitor C1 serves as an energy storage element and can be used to absorb the inrush current of the first power supply terminal 610.
[0157] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 includes a first switch Q1, a second switch Q2, and a first inductor L1; the first terminal of the first switch Q1 is connected to the positive terminal V+ of the first power supply terminal 610, the second terminal of the first switch Q1 and the first terminal of the second switch Q2 are both connected to the first terminal of the first inductor L1, the second terminal of the first inductor L1 is connected to the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100, and the second terminal of the second switch Q2 is grounded.
[0158] In this embodiment, the second switch Q2 is turned on, and the low-voltage battery 100 charges the first inductor L1. The induced electromotive force in the first inductor L1 is opposite in direction to the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100. When the second switch Q2 is turned off, the first switch Q1 is turned on, and the first inductor L1 freewheels, with the current direction still towards the first power supply terminal 610. The voltage of the first inductor L1 is equivalent to V1. At this time, the output voltage of the voltage conversion circuit 400 is Vout = Vb + V1, where Vb is the output voltage of the low-voltage battery 100. Taking the on-time of the second switch Q2 as Ton and the duty cycle as D, the output voltage of the voltage conversion circuit 400 is Vout = Vb *
[0159] (1 / (1-D)).
[0160] In some embodiments, see Figure 2As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 also includes a second capacitor C2. The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. In this embodiment, the two terminals of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the low-voltage battery 100, respectively. This allows for pre-charging of the voltage across the low-voltage battery 100 during the charging and discharging process, reducing safety hazards during the initial charging and discharging of the battery device.
[0161] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 also includes a first diode D1, the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the second terminal of the second switching transistor Q2, and the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first terminal of the second switching transistor Q2.
[0162] In this embodiment, the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the buffer capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the first inductor L1, and the first diode D1 constitute a BUCK circuit. This allows for easy replacement of the low-voltage battery 100 because the BUCK circuit adjusts the input and output voltages. When the state of charge (SOC) is very low, the BUCK circuit reduces the charging current. If the output current of the DC-DC converter is too high, the BUCK circuit reduces the current, preventing the battery from being unable to withstand the large current. If the SOC of the low-voltage battery 100 is already very high, approaching its rated voltage and close to the external open-circuit voltage, the first switch K1 closes, and the current is still very small.
[0163] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 In boost mode, the first switch Q1 is turned off, and the output voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 is boosted through the first inductor L1, the first switch Q1, and the second switch Q2, and then discharged to the first power supply terminal 610.
[0164] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 also includes a first current sensor CT1, which is connected between the first inductor L1 and the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100. The first current sensor CT1 is used to detect the current at the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100 and send the detection result to the controller 700. The controller 700 adjusts the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the detection result.
[0165] In some embodiments, a second current sensor CT2 is also provided at the negative terminal of the low-voltage battery 100 to detect the current at the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery 100 and send the detection result to the controller 700. The controller 700 adjusts the state of the low-voltage battery 100 according to the detection result.
[0166] In some embodiments, see Figure 2As shown, the main switch circuit 710 includes a first switch K1. The switching state of the first switch K1 is controlled by the controller 700. The first switch K1 can be a bidirectional switch composed of top-to-top MOS transistors.

The control circuit 300 is connected to the low-voltage battery 100. The energy storage circuit 200 is connected to both the low-voltage battery 100 and the control circuit 300. The control circuit 300 is controlled by the controller 700 to control the low-voltage battery 100 and the energy storage circuit 200 to charge each other.
[0168] In this embodiment, by connecting the energy storage circuit 200 to both the low-voltage battery 100 and the control circuit 300, and having the control circuit 300 control the mutual charging between the low-voltage battery 100 and the energy storage circuit 200, the low-voltage battery 100 can be heated using a pulse self-heating method. For example, when the battery device is used in a vehicle, it may not provide sufficient power at low temperatures. Heating the low-voltage battery 100 using an external PTC requires an additional temperature control structure, resulting in complex structure, uneven heating, and slow heating speed. By integrating the control circuit 300 and the energy storage circuit 200 into the battery device, self-heating of the battery device can replace heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and enabling independent self-heating control without the need for an additional temperature control structure.

[0170] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the control circuit 300 also includes a control switch 630, which is connected to the low-voltage battery 100 and the control circuit 300. The switching state of the control switch 630 is controlled by the controller 700, which can control the connection relationship between the low-voltage battery 100 and the control circuit 300.
[0171] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery 100 is less than the first preset temperature threshold, the controller 700 can control the control switch 630 to be turned on, and the control circuit 300 operates in self-heating mode. This allows the low-voltage battery 100 to charge each other with the energy storage circuit 200 through pulse self-heating, thereby achieving the self-heating effect of the low-voltage battery 100. During charging or discharging, the control switch 630 is turned off.
[0172] In some embodiments, the first preset temperature threshold may be 0 degrees Celsius.

[0184] In this embodiment, the first transformer T1 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 can perform voltage conversion processing on the input voltage. By reusing the winding of the first transformer in the voltage conversion circuit 400, there is no need to set up additional energy storage devices, saving the cost of the battery device. The low-voltage battery 100 and the winding of the first transformer are mutually charged by the control circuit 300. The low-voltage battery 100 can be heated by pulse self-heating, replacing heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0185] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 As shown, the control circuit 300 also includes diodes D11, D12, D13, and D14.

[0186] In this embodiment, the ninth switch Q9, the tenth switch Q10, the eleventh switch Q11, and the twelfth switch Q12 can be N-type IGBTs or N-type MOSFETs. By placing corresponding diodes between the source and drain of the ninth switch Q9, the tenth switch Q10, the eleventh switch Q11, and the twelfth switch Q12, with the cathode of the diode connected to the drain and the anode of the diode connected to the source, the risk of backflow that may occur during low-current freewheeling can be reduced.
[0187] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 As shown, the first transformer T1 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be connected to the second power supply terminal 620 to provide AC power to the second power supply terminal 620.
[0188] In some embodiments, the first transformer T1 and the second power supply terminal 620 may also be provided with a rectifier-inverter circuit, which can convert the AC power output from the first transformer T1 into DC power output to the second power supply terminal 620.

During the low-voltage battery charging phase, the energy storage circuit charges the first battery pack via the control circuit 300. This allows the first and second battery packs in the low-voltage battery to charge each other via the energy storage circuit, thereby heating the low-voltage battery using pulse self-heating instead of heating film heating or coolant heating. This simplifies the battery device and facilitates the arrangement and simplification of the battery system.
[0201] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 includes a first transformer T1; the energy storage circuit 200 includes a winding of the first transformer T1, the first end of the primary winding of the first transformer T1 is connected to the midpoint of the half-bridge of the first half-bridge 310, and the second end of the primary winding of the first transformer T1 is connected to the common node of the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2.

During the charging phase of the low-voltage battery 100, the energy storage circuit 200 charges the first battery pack B1 via the first half-bridge 310. This allows the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 in the low-voltage battery 100 to charge each other via the energy storage circuit 200. Thus, the low-voltage battery 100 is heated by pulse self-heating, replacing heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.

During the discharge phase of the low-voltage battery 100, by controlling the state of the first half-bridge 310, the first battery pack B1 charges and stores energy in the energy storage inductor L4 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 through the first half-bridge 310. Then, during the charging phase of the low-voltage battery 100, the energy storage inductor L4 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 charges and stores energy in the second battery pack B2 through the first half-bridge 310. Battery pack B2 is charged, and then the state of the first half-bridge 310 is controlled. During the discharge phase of the low-voltage battery 100, the second battery pack B2 charges and stores energy through the energy storage inductor L4 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 via the first half-bridge 310. During the charging phase of the low-voltage battery 100, the energy storage inductor L4 in the voltage conversion circuit 400 charges the first battery pack B1 via the first half-bridge 310. This allows the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 in the low-voltage battery 100 to charge each other through the energy storage inductor L4 in the voltage conversion circuit 400. This uses pulse self-heating to heat the low-voltage battery 100, replacing heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.

[0209] In this embodiment, an additional energy storage inductor L3 and an energy storage switch K3 are provided in the energy storage circuit 200. The connection state of the energy storage inductor L3 is controlled by the energy storage switch K3, which can reduce the impact of the energy storage inductor L3 on the voltage conversion circuit 400 and the low-voltage battery 100. When the low-voltage battery 100 does not need self-heating, the energy storage switch K3 is turned off. When the voltage conversion circuit 400 is working, the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 in the low-voltage battery 100 are controlled to charge each other through the energy storage inductor L3, thereby heating the low-voltage battery 100 by pulse self-heating, replacing heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.

[0214] In some embodiments, see Figure 16 As shown, the control circuit 300 also includes a first half-bridge 310 and a second half-bridge 320; the first end of the energy storage inductor L3 is connected to the midpoint of the first half-bridge 310, and the second end of the energy storage inductor L3 is connected to the midpoint of the second half-bridge 320.
[0215] In this embodiment, the control circuit 300 further includes a first half-bridge 310 and a second half-bridge 320. By setting the first end of the energy storage inductor L3 to be connected to the midpoint of the first half-bridge 310 and the second end of the energy storage inductor L3 to be connected to the midpoint of the second half-bridge 320, the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 in the low-voltage battery 100 are controlled to charge each other with the energy storage inductor L3 through the first half-bridge 310 and the second half-bridge 320.

[0218] In some embodiments, see Figure 17 As shown, the main switch circuit 710 includes a battery positive switch K1, which is connected between the positive terminal of the low-voltage battery and the positive terminal of the first power supply terminal 610610.
[0219] In some embodiments, see Figure 18 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 further includes: a first rectifier-inverter unit 510, which is connected to the first transformer T1 and is used to convert the AC power output by the first transformer into DC power.
[0220] In this embodiment, a first rectifier-inverter unit is set on the secondary winding of the first transformer. The first rectifier-inverter unit converts the AC power output from the first transformer into DC power and outputs it to the first power supply terminal. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery, the main switch circuit is turned on, and the first power supply terminal can directly charge the low-voltage battery. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery, the main switch circuit can be turned off, and the low-voltage battery is charged by the first power supply terminal through the voltage conversion circuit 400. This allows the battery device to be charged when different voltages are connected to the first power supply terminal, reducing the influence of the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal on the charging of the low-voltage battery.
[0221] In some embodiments, see Figure 18 As shown, the voltage conversion circuit 400 further includes a second rectifier-inverter unit 520, which is connected between the first rectifier-inverter unit 510 and the first power supply terminal.

[0225] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to perform power balancing via the control circuit 300 in a balancing mode, so as to reduce the power difference between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2.
[0226] In this embodiment, when the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 exceeds a first preset charge threshold, the controller 700 operates in a balancing mode. The controller 700 can control the bridge arm in the control circuit 300 to operate in a corresponding switching state, allowing the battery pack with higher charge level in the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to charge the battery pack with lower charge level, thereby achieving charge balancing between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2. Furthermore, after the bridge arm in the control circuit 300 is in an open state and remains stationary for a first preset time, the controller 700 again detects the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2. If the difference in charge level between the first battery pack and the second battery pack is still greater than the first preset charge threshold, the controller again selects the battery pack with higher charge level to charge the battery pack with lower charge level until the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is less than a second preset charge threshold. This second preset charge threshold is less than the first preset charge threshold, and the second preset charge threshold can be set to be less than 1% of the charge level of the first battery pack B1.
[0227] In some embodiments, the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 have the same voltage.
[0228] In some embodiments, the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 have the same rated capacity.
[0229] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is also configured to control the low-voltage battery and the energy storage circuit to charge each other in self-heating mode.
[0230] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery is low, the battery device can be controlled to operate in a self-heating mode, and the low-voltage battery and the energy storage circuit can be controlled to charge each other so that the low-voltage battery can be self-heated. The low-voltage battery is charged by pulse self-heating, which not only reduces the cost, but also has a smaller total voltage and current ripple during the pulse heating process, making the heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0231] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to operate in a self-heating mode when the temperature of the low-voltage battery 100 is less than a first preset temperature threshold, and control the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to alternately generate pulse currents through the energy storage circuit 200 so as to enable the low-voltage battery 100 to self-heat.
[0232] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery 100 is lower than the first preset temperature threshold, the controller 700 can control the circuit 300 to operate in self-heating mode. This allows the low-voltage battery 100 to be charged by the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 alternately outputting pulse current through the control circuit 300. This not only reduces costs but also minimizes the total voltage and current ripple during pulse heating, making heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, simplifying the battery device and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0233] In some embodiments, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery 100 is lower than a first preset temperature threshold, the controller 700 operates in pulse heating mode. The controller 700 controls the main switch circuit 710 to be in the off state, first controlling the ninth switch Q9 to be turned on and the tenth switch Q10 to be turned off, so that the first battery pack B1 charges the energy storage circuit 200. Then, the controller controls the ninth switch Q9 to be turned off and the tenth switch Q10 to be turned on, so that the energy storage circuit 200 freewheels to charge the second battery pack B2. This cycle is repeated multiple times to achieve self-heating of the second battery pack B2. After multiple cycles, the controller 700 controls the second battery pack B2 to charge the first battery pack B1 through the energy storage circuit 200. Since the body diodes integrated by the ninth switch Q9 and the tenth switch Q10 generate a large amount of heat, the current and heat are shared by the diodes of the ninth switch Q9 and the tenth switch Q10 connected in antiparallel.
[0234] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to perform power balancing via the control circuit 300 in a balancing mode, so as to reduce the power difference between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2.
[0235] In this embodiment, when the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 exceeds a first preset charge level threshold, the controller 700 can control the circuit 300 to operate in a corresponding switching state, causing the battery pack with higher charge level in the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to charge the battery pack with lower charge level, thereby achieving charge balance between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2. Furthermore, after the control circuit 300 is disconnected and left idle for a first preset time, the controller 700 again detects the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2. If the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is still greater than the first preset charge level threshold, the controller again selects the battery pack with higher charge level to charge the battery pack with lower charge level until the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is less than a second preset charge level threshold. This second preset charge level threshold is less than the first preset charge level threshold, and the second preset charge level threshold can be set to be less than 1% of the charge level of the first battery pack B1.
[0236] In some embodiments, when the difference in charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is greater than a first preset charge level threshold, the controller 700 operates in a balancing mode, causing the battery pack with higher charge level to charge the battery pack with lower charge level between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2. For example, in combination with... Figure 5 As shown, when the first battery pack B1 has a high charge level, the controller 700 first controls the ninth switch Q9 to turn on and the tenth switch Q10 to turn off, so that the first battery pack B1 charges the energy storage circuit 200. Then, the controller controls the ninth switch Q9 to turn off and the tenth switch Q10 to turn on, so that the energy storage circuit 200 continues to charge the second battery pack B2. This cycle continues until the charge difference between the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is less than the second preset charge threshold.
[0237] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is also configured to control the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to charge each other in a second self-heating mode.
[0238] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the low-voltage battery 100 is lower than the first preset temperature threshold, the controller 700 can operate in the second self-heating mode, thereby enabling the low-voltage battery 100 to be connected to the energy storage circuit 200 via the control circuit 300. The first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 are controlled to alternately output pulse currents to charge the low-voltage battery 100 using pulse self-heating. This not only reduces costs but also minimizes the total voltage and current ripple during pulse heating, making heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, simplifying the structure of the battery device and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0239] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the voltage conversion circuit 400 to convert the AC power of the first power supply terminal 610 into DC power in AC charging mode and to charge the low-voltage battery 100.
[0240] In this embodiment of the application, when AC power is connected to the first power supply terminal 610, the voltage conversion circuit 400 can realize the conversion between AC and DC power. The voltage conversion circuit 400 converts the AC power provided by the first power supply terminal 610 into DC power to charge the low-voltage battery 100, so that the AC charging pile can directly charge the battery device, which facilitates the independent charging of the battery device in the vehicle and expands the application of the battery device in new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles.
[0241] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is further configured to control the voltage conversion circuit 400 to convert the DC power supplied by the low-voltage battery 100 into AC power in AC power supply mode to supply power to the first power supply terminal 610.
[0242] In this embodiment, when an AC load is connected to the first power supply terminal 610, the controller 700 operates in AC power supply mode. The voltage conversion circuit 400 converts the DC power output from the low-voltage battery 100 into AC power and outputs it to the first power supply terminal 610. This allows the low-voltage battery 100 to provide AC power to the vehicle through the voltage conversion circuit 400. This reduces the potential for the power battery pack in new energy vehicles to provide AC power to the vehicle's interior, which could affect the vehicle's power output. It can also provide AC power to fuel vehicles, thus expanding the application of battery devices in both new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles.
[0243] In some embodiments, the voltages at both ends of the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 are the same.
[0244] In some embodiments, the output voltage range of the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 is 12V-72V.
[0245] In some embodiments, the first battery pack B1 includes a 12V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable battery.
[0246] In some embodiments, the first battery pack B1 includes a 24V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable battery.

[0250] In some embodiments, the second battery pack B2 includes a 12V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable batteries.
[0251] In some embodiments, the second battery pack B2 includes a 24V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable battery.
[0252] In some embodiments, the second battery pack B2 includes a 48V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable battery, and the output voltage of the second battery pack B2 is 48V.
[0253] In some embodiments, the second battery pack B2 includes a 72V lithium-ion battery or sodium-ion battery, or other rechargeable battery, and the output voltage of the second battery pack B2 does not exceed 100V.

The controller 700 can adjust the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 according to the electrical parameters of the first power supply terminal 610 and the battery parameters of the low-voltage battery. If the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 changes significantly due to changes in the required power, the voltage of the first power supply terminal 610 can be adjusted by adjusting the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400. If the charging voltage provided by the first power supply terminal 610 does not match the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100, the operating parameters of the voltage conversion circuit 400 can be adjusted to output a voltage that matches the voltage of the low-voltage battery 100 to charge the low-voltage battery 100, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the battery device and improving the stability of the battery device.
[0258] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a power battery pack. The low-voltage battery 100 includes a first battery pack B1 and a second battery pack B2 connected in series. The low-voltage battery 100 can provide AC power to the vehicle through a voltage conversion circuit 400, reducing the potential for the power battery pack to provide AC power to the vehicle and affecting the vehicle's power output. This allows the low-voltage battery 100 and the power battery pack to respectively supply power to the vehicle's electrical load and power load.
[0259] With the battery device in this embodiment, the controller 700 can control the first battery pack B1 and the second battery pack B2 to alternately output pulse current, and charge the low-voltage battery 100 by pulse self-heating. This not only reduces costs, but also reduces the total voltage and current ripple during the pulse heating process, making heating safer. It also replaces heating film heating or coolant heating, making the battery device simpler and facilitating the layout and simplification of the battery system.
[0260] In some embodiments, the energy storage circuit 200 may include one or more inductors, or may reuse the inductors of a transformer or motor winding in the vehicle.
[0261] In some embodiments, the controller 700 is also configured to control the voltage conversion circuit 400 to output AC power to the first power supply terminal 610 when an AC load is connected to the first power supply terminal 610.
[0262] In this embodiment, the vehicle can be a new energy vehicle or a fuel vehicle. By installing the battery device from any of the above embodiments in the vehicle chassis, when an AC load is connected to the first power supply terminal 610, the controller 700 controls the voltage conversion circuit 400 to convert the DC power output from the low-voltage battery 100 into low-voltage AC power. This allows the low-voltage battery 100 to provide AC power to the vehicle through the voltage conversion circuit 400. In new energy vehicles, this reduces the potential for the power battery pack to supply AC power to the vehicle's interior, thus reducing the risk of the power battery pack affecting the vehicle's power output. The low-voltage battery 100 and the power battery pack respectively supply power to the vehicle's electrical load and power load. In fuel vehicles, this provides AC power to the fuel vehicle.
