[0036] Hereinafter, specific implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementations described in this specification are merely used to explain and clarify the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0037] It should be noted that in this disclosure, all acts of acquiring signals, information or data are performed under the premise of complying with the data protection regulations and policies corresponding to the country in which such acts are performed, as well as the authorizations granted by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0038] 1 is a structural block diagram of a battery energy processing device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a battery energy processing device 300 may include an inverter 1, an energy storage element 2, and a controller 3.

[0039] The first terminal 11 of the inverter 1 is configured to be connected to the battery 100. The first terminal 21 of the energy storage element 2 is configured to be connected to the external power supply device 200, and the second terminal 22 of the energy storage element 2 is connected to the second terminal 12 of the inverter 1. The controller 3 is connected to the third terminal 13 of the inverter 1. In a first preset state, the controller 3 controls the inverter 1 to allow the energy storage element 2 to be charged and discharged by the battery 100 (e.g., charged and discharged in a cyclical manner), thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100. In a second preset state, at least a part of the energy storage element 2 and at least a part of the inverter 1 jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100. The external power supply device 200 may be, for example, a charging pile or a storage battery.

[0040] Cycling means that charging and discharging are repeatedly switched at a certain frequency. Through cyclic charging and discharging of the battery, the battery can generate heat, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery.

[0041] In the present disclosure, the first preset state is a self-heating state of the battery, and the second preset state is a charging state of the battery.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the battery energy processing device includes an inverter, an energy storage element, and a controller. The inverter is connected to the battery and the energy storage element. The energy storage element is connected to an external power supply device. In a first preset state, the controller controls the inverter to allow the energy storage element to be charged and discharged by the battery, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery. In this way, in the first preset state, the electricity in the battery can be circulated between the battery and the energy storage element by using the energy storage element to realize charging and discharging of the battery. In this way, the self-heating of the battery is realized to better maintain the temperature of the battery and increase the electrolyte activity and electrochemical reaction rate of the lithium-ion battery, thereby ensuring the driving capability of the driving system of the electric vehicle. In addition, the self-heating of the battery has small energy loss, uniform heat transfer, and high heating efficiency. In addition, in a second preset state, at least a part of the energy storage element and at least a part of the inverter jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery. In other words, one battery energy processing device is used for both charging the battery and self-heating the battery. In this way, multi-functional reuse of the battery energy processing device is realized, thereby reducing component costs and size.

[0043] 2, the inverter 1 includes an N-phase bridge arm B, and the energy storage element 2 includes N coils KM. The number of bridge arms of at least one phase among the N-phase bridge arms B is equal to the number of at least one coil among the N coils KM, and the bridge arms of at least one phase and the at least one coil jointly form an adaptive voltage charger.

[0044] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, one of the N-phase bridge arms B and one of the N coils KM jointly form an adaptive voltage charger KB.

[0045] 2 , a first bus terminal of the N-phase bridge arm B is connected to the positive electrode of the battery 100, and a second bus terminal of the N-phase bridge arm B is connected to the negative electrode of the battery 100 and the negative electrode of the external power supply device 200. The second terminals 22 of the N coils KM are connected to the midpoints of the N-phase bridge arm B in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first terminals 21 of the N coils KM are connected to each other to form a neutral point P, and the neutral point P is configured to be connected to the positive electrode of the external power supply device 200.

[0046] In this case, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the bridge arms of at least two phases among the N-phase bridge arms B to enable the coils connected to the bridge arms of at least two phases among the N coils KM to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby achieving self-heating of the battery 100.

[0047] When the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is lower than the voltage of the battery 100, in a second preset state, at least one bridge arm of the N-phase bridge arms B and at least one coil of the N coils KM jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned off and the lower bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned on to charge the at least one coil.

[0048] Optionally, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the N-phase bridge arm B to enable the N coils KM to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100. By operating the N-phase bridge arm B and the N coils KM simultaneously in this manner, the heating efficiency can be maximized, thereby improving the self-heating effect of the battery.

[0049] In the second preset state, the N coils KM and the N-phase bridge arm B jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100. By operating the N-phase bridge arm B and the N coils simultaneously in this manner, the charging efficiency can be maximized, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the battery.

[0050] In FIG. 2, an example of N=2 is used, however, one skilled in the art should understand that the number of bridge arms and the number of coils in FIG. 2 are merely examples.

[0051] In the first preset state, the specific process of heating the battery 100 by the battery energy processing device 300 in FIG. 2 is as follows: N coils KM are used as current-limiting buffer devices, the way in which the bridge arm B of N phase is turned on is controlled, and the duty ratio of the turned-on bridge arm is adjusted to control the loop current of the battery, allowing the internal resistance of the battery to generate heat to increase the temperature of the battery 100, and thus implementing a controlled temperature increase of the battery 100.

[0052] When the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is lower than the voltage of the battery 100, in a second preset state, at least one bridge arm of the N-phase bridge arms B and at least one coil of the N coils KM jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned off and the lower bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned on to charge the at least one coil.

[0053] In the second preset state, at least one bridge arm of the N-phase bridge arm B charges the battery 100. The battery 100 may be boost-charged or directly charged. The charging mode may be determined according to the voltage of the battery 100 and the voltage of the external power supply device 200.

[0054] Specifically, the controller 3 is further configured to detect whether the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is lower than the voltage of the battery 100. When the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is lower than the voltage of the battery 100, in the second preset state, at least one bridge arm of the N-phase bridge arms B and at least one coil of the N coils KM jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned off and the lower bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to be turned on to charge the at least one coil, thereby charging the coil connected to the turned-on lower bridge arm of the N coils KM (i.e., at least one coil in the adaptive voltage charger). Then, the controller 3 further controls the lower bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm connected corresponding to the at least one coil to be turned off, and controls the current to pass through the freewheel diode of the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to boost-charge the battery 100.

[0055] In one implementation, boost-charging the battery 100 by controlling the current to pass through a freewheeling diode of the upper bridge arm of the bridge arm of at least one phase includes controlling an insulated gate bipolar transistor of the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm not to be turned on, and controlling the current to pass through a freewheeling diode of the upper bridge arm of the at least one phase bridge arm to boost-charge the battery 100.

[0056] When the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is not lower than the voltage of the battery 100, in the second preset state, the controller 3 controls the insulated gate bipolar transistors of the upper and lower bridge arms of bridge arm B of the N phase not to be turned on, and controls the current to pass through the freewheel diode of the upper bridge arm of bridge arm B of the N phase, thereby directly charging the battery 100.

[0057] In this way, adaptive voltage charging may be automatically performed according to the voltage of the external power supply device 200 and the voltage of the battery 100. In this way, both a high-voltage external power supply device and a low-voltage external power supply device can realize the charging of a high-voltage battery through the battery energy processing device 300 without configuring an additional boost device.

[0058] The operating principle of boost charging the battery 100 in the second preset state will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

[0059] In FIG. 3, the controller 3 controls all upper bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off, and controls at least one lower bridge arm of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned on. In this case, a current flows from the positive pole of the external power supply device 200, flows through the coils connected to the turned-on lower bridge arms of the N coils KM and the turned-on lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase in order, and returns to the negative pole of the external power supply device 200. In this way, the coils connected to the turned-on lower bridge arms of the N coils KM can be charged. In addition, by controlling the number of the lower bridge arms to be turned on and the duty ratio at which they are turned on, the charging current can be controlled, and thus the charging power can be controlled.

[0060] In one example, it is assumed that the bridge arm B of the N phase includes two bridge arms b1 and b2, and the N coils KM include two coils H1 and H2. One end of the coil H1 is connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm b1, and one end of the coil H2 is connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm b2. Then, the controller 3 controls all the upper bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2 to be turned off, and controls all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2 to be turned on. The positive pole of the external power supply device 200, the N coils KM (i.e., the coils H1 and H2), all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase (i.e., the lower bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2), and the negative pole of the external power supply device 200 form a loop for charging the N coils KM.

[0061] 4, the controller 3 controls all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off. In this case, the current flows from the positive electrode of the external power supply device 200, passes through the N coils KM, the freewheeling diodes of all the upper bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase, the positive electrode of the battery 100, and the negative electrode of the battery 100, and returns to the negative electrode of the external power supply device 200. In this way, the energy of the external power supply device 200 and the N coils KM is transferred to the battery 100, thereby realizing the N coils KM and the external power supply device 200 to simultaneously charge the battery 100, that is, the boost charging of the battery 100 can be realized.

[0062] The previous example is still used. In the previous example, all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2 are turned on. Therefore, in this case, all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase (i.e., all the upper bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2) are turned off. The positive pole of the external power supply device 200, the N coils KM (i.e., the coils H1 and H2), the freewheeling diodes of all the upper bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase (i.e., the upper bridge arms of the bridge arms b1 and b2), the battery 100, and the negative pole of the external power supply device 200 transfer the energy in the N coils KM and the energy received by the external power supply device to the battery 100, that is, the N coils KM and the external power supply device 200 form a loop that charges the battery 100.

[0063] Therefore, by controlling the upper bridge arm of at least one of the bridge arms B of the N phases to be turned off and the lower bridge arm of at least one of the bridge arms to be alternately turned on or off, the cyclic operation in the states of FIGS. 3 and 4 is realized to complete the boost charging of the battery 100.

[0064] The operating principle of directly charging the battery 100 in the second preset state is detailed below with reference to FIG.

[0065] If the voltage of the external power supply device 200 is not lower than the voltage of the battery 100, there is no need to boost charge the external power supply device. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the controller 3 may control all lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off. In this case, the current flows from the positive electrode of the external power supply device 200, flows through the N coils KM, the freewheeling diodes of all upper bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase, the positive electrode of the battery 100, and the negative electrode of the battery 100 in sequence, and returns to the negative electrode of the external power supply device 200. In this way, the energy of the external power supply device 200 is transferred to the battery 100, thereby realizing the external power supply device 200 charging the battery 100, that is, the direct charging of the battery 100 can be realized.

[0066] In one embodiment, the N coils KM are motor windings (e.g., motor windings of a drive motor), and the N-phase bridge arm B is a bridge arm converter. That is, the existing motor windings and bridge arm converter on the vehicle can be reused to realize various functions as needed. For example, when the battery needs to be self-heated or charged, the N coils KM and the N-phase bridge arm B may be used in various self-heating procedures described in this disclosure. When the vehicle needs to be driven, the N coils KM and the N-phase bridge arm B can be switched to control the bridge arm B and enable the motor corresponding to the motor winding to output power, thereby driving the vehicle. In this way, the motor windings and bridge arm converter of the vehicle can be reused to realize various functions as needed, and the cost of the vehicle is reduced.

[0067] 5, the battery energy processing device 300 may further include a second capacitor C2. A first terminal C21 of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery 100 and a first bus terminal of the bridge arm B of the N phase, and a second terminal C22 of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery 100 and a second bus terminal of the bridge arm B of the N phase. The second capacitor C2 has a voltage stabilizing effect, which makes it possible to prevent the battery energy processing device 300 and the components in the battery energy processing device 300 from being affected by a spike generated at the moment when the battery 100 or the external power supply device 200 is turned on.

[0068] In addition, the battery energy processing device 300 may further include a third switch K3 and a fourth switch K4 (both not shown). A first terminal of the third switch K3 is connected to the neutral point, and a second terminal of the third switch K3 is connected to the positive pole of the external power supply device 200. A first terminal of the fourth switch K4 is connected to the negative pole of the battery 100, and a second terminal of the fourth switch K4 is connected to the negative pole of the external power supply device 200.

[0069] In this case, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 to both be opened, and controls the bridge arms of at least two phases among the N-phase bridge arms B to allow the coils connected to the bridge arms of at least two phases among the N coils KM to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100, and in the second preset state, controls the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 to both be closed, and controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100.

[0070] 6, the battery energy processing device 300 further includes N first switches K1. First terminals K11 of the N first switches K1 are configured to be connected to the positive poles of the external power supply device 200, and second terminals K12 of the N first switches K1 are connected to the first terminals 21 of the N coils KM in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0071] In this case, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected correspondingly to at least two coils of the N coils KM among the N first switches K1 to close, and controls at least two-phase bridge arms connected to at least two coils of the N-phase bridge arms B to allow the at least two coils to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100. In the second preset state, at least one coil of the N coils KM and at least one-phase bridge arm connected correspondingly to the at least one coil jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected correspondingly to at least one coil of the N first switches K1 to close, and controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100.

[0072] Also, in the battery energy processing device 300 shown in FIG. 6, the controller 3 may be further configured to detect whether the bridge arms of each phase in the bridge arms B of N phases have a defect in the second preset state. In the second preset state, the bridge arms of the bridge arms B of N phases that do not have a defect and the coils connected to the bridge arms of the N coils KM jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected corresponding to the coils connected to the bridge arms having a defect among the N first switches K1 to be opened, controls the first switch K1 connected corresponding to the coils connected to the bridge arms having a defect among the N first switches K1 to be closed, and controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100. In this way, when a bridge arm of one phase of the bridge arms B of N phases has a defect, the bridge arm having the defect is turned off through the first switch K1 connected correspondingly thereto, so that the channel of the bridge arm of this phase can be turned off. The channel formed by the bridge arms of other phases having normal function is used to complete the charging of the battery, thereby improving the redundancy and fault tolerance performance of the battery energy processing device 300.

[0073] 7, the energy storage element 2 further includes a first capacitor C1. A first terminal C11 of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the neutral point P and the positive electrode of the external power supply device 200, and a second terminal C12 of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery 100 and the negative electrode of the external power supply device 200.

[0074] In this case, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls at least one bridge arm of the N-phase bridge arms B to allow the first capacitor C1 to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100. In the second preset state, at least one coil of the N coils KM and at least one bridge arm of the phase connected correspondingly to the at least one coil jointly form an adaptive voltage charger, and the controller 3 controls the adaptive voltage charger to charge the battery 100.

[0075] The process of heating the battery 100 using the N-phase bridge arm B, the N coils KM, and the first capacitor C1 of FIG. 7 in the first preset state will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11.

[0076] First, as shown in Fig. 8, in a first process, the controller 3 may control all lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off, and control at least one upper bridge arm of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned on. In this case, a current flows from the positive electrode of the battery 100, through the turned-on upper bridge arms, the coils connected to the turned-on upper bridge arms, and the first capacitor C1, and finally returns to the negative electrode of the battery 100. In this process, the battery 100 is in a discharged state, and the first capacitor C1 receives the energy of the coils connected to the turned-on upper bridge arms, and the voltage continues to rise, thereby realizing energy storage.

[0077] Next, as shown in Fig. 9, in the second process, the controller 3 controls all the upper bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off, and controls the lower bridge arms connected to the coil in which the return current exists among the lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned on. In this case, the current flows from the coil in which the return current exists, through the first capacitor C1 and the turned-on lower bridge arm, and finally back to the coil in which the return current exists. In this process, due to the return effect of the coil, the first capacitor C1 continues to receive the energy of the coil, and the voltage continues to rise.

[0078] As shown in Fig. 10, in the third process, when the voltage across the first capacitor C1 continues to rise, the first capacitor C1 automatically switches from receiving energy from the coil KM to discharging energy to the coil KM. In this case, the current flows from the first capacitor C1, through the coil connected to the turned-on lower bridge arm and the turned-on lower bridge arm, and finally back to the first capacitor C1. In this process, the voltage across the first capacitor C1 continues to fall.

[0079] Next, as shown in Fig. 11, in the fourth process, the controller 3 may control all the lower bridge arms of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned off, and control at least one upper bridge arm of the bridge arm B of the N phase to be turned on. In this case, the current flows from the first capacitor C1, through the coil connected to the turned-on upper bridge arm, the turned-on upper bridge arm, the positive electrode of the battery 100, and the negative electrode of the battery 100, and finally returns to the first capacitor C1. In this process, the battery 100 is in a charging state.

[0080] When the voltage across the first capacitor C1 continues to decrease, the coil connected to the first capacitor C1 and the turned-on upper bridge arm switches from discharging energy to the battery 100 to receiving energy from the battery 100. In this case, the current flow direction is again the same as in the first process, and the battery 100 starts to discharge.

[0081] The above process may be continuously repeated to perform rapid cyclic charging and discharging between the first capacitor C1 and the battery 100. Due to the existence of the internal resistance of the battery, a large amount of heat is generated, causing the temperature of the battery to rise rapidly, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the battery.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 12, the device further includes N first switches K1. A first terminal K11 of the N first switches K1 is configured to be connected to a positive pole of the external power supply device 200, and a second terminal K12 of the N first switches K1 is connected to a first terminal 21 of the N coils KM in a one-to-one correspondence. In this case, the controller 3 may be further configured to detect whether a bridge arm of each phase in the bridge arm B of the N phases has a defect. In this case, in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected corresponding to the coil connected to the bridge arm having a defect among the N first switches K1 to be opened, controls the first switch K1 connected corresponding to the coil connected to the bridge arm not having a defect among the N first switches K1 to be closed, and controls the bridge arm not having a defect among the bridge arms B of the N phases to allow the first capacitor C1 to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby realizing self-heating of the battery 100.

[0083] In this way, if one of the bridge arms B of N phases has a fault, the bridge arm with the fault can be turned off through the correspondingly connected first switch K1 to turn off the channel of the bridge arm of this phase, and the channel formed by the bridge arms of other phases having normal function can be used to complete the self-heating of the battery, thereby improving the redundancy and fault tolerance performance of the battery energy processing device 300.

[0084] As shown in Fig. 13, the battery energy processing device 300 may further include N first switches K1 and a second switch K2. The energy storage element 2 further includes a first capacitor C1. The first terminals K11 of the N first switches K1 are configured to be connected to the positive pole of the external power supply device 200, and the second terminals K12 of the N first switches K1 are connected to the first terminals 21 of the N coils KM in a one-to-one correspondence. The first terminal K21 of the second switch K2 is connected to the neutral point P, and the second terminal K22 of the second switch K2 is configured to be connected to the positive pole of the external power supply device 200. The first terminal C11 of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the neutral point P and the positive pole of the external power supply device 200, and the second terminal C12 of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the negative pole of the battery 100 and the negative pole of the external power supply device 200.

[0085] In this case, in response to receiving a first control command configured to instruct inductive self-heating of the battery 100 in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected correspondingly to at least two of the N coils KM among the N first switches K1 to close, controls the second switch K2 to open, and controls at least two-phase bridge arms connected to at least two of the N-phase bridge arms B to enable the at least two coils to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby achieving self-heating of the battery 100. In response to receiving a second control command configured to instruct to perform inductive self-heating of the battery 100 in the first preset state, the controller 3 controls the first switch K1 connected correspondingly to a coil connected to the bridge arm of at least one phase among the N first switches K1 to close, controls the second switch K2 to close, and controls the bridge arm of at least one phase among the N phase bridge arms B to enable the first capacitor C1 to be charged and discharged by the battery 100, thereby achieving self-heating of the battery 100.

[0086] Thus, there are two battery heating methods, namely, induction self-heating method and dielectric self-heating method. Thus, users need to choose the appropriate battery heating method according to their needs, which will improve the user experience.

[0087] Although an example of N=2 is used in Figures 3 to 13, those skilled in the art should understand that the number of bridge arms and the number of coils in the figures are merely examples.
