[0016] Hereinafter, technical aspects of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of an energy storage system 1 of the present application. The energy storage system 1 includes a long-standby electrochemical device 100 and an energy storage inverter system 40. The electrochemical device 100 is electrically connected to the energy storage inverter system 40, and includes a battery unit 10, a battery management system 20 and a switch unit 30.

[0018] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery unit 10 is used to convert its own chemical energy into electrical energy, and can include a plurality of battery cells having positive and negative electrodes. The battery unit 10 can perform a discharging operation. When an external circuit electrically connected to the battery unit 10 is cut off, there is a potential difference (open voltage) between the two electrodes of the battery unit 10, but no current flows, and the chemical energy stored in the battery unit 10 cannot be converted into electrical energy. When an external circuit electrically connected to the battery unit 10 is closed, a current flows in the external circuit due to the potential difference between the two electrodes of the battery unit 10, and the battery unit 10 is discharged.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery unit 10 is electrically connected to the battery management system 20 via the switch unit 30. When the battery unit 10 performs a discharging operation, the battery unit 10 outputs electrical energy to the battery management system 20 to maintain the operation of the battery management system 20. The battery unit 10 is electrically connected to the energy storage inverter system 40. The energy storage inverter system 40 is electrically connected to a load (not shown). The battery unit 10 transmits electrical energy to the load (not shown) via the energy storage inverter system 40.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, when the battery unit 10 is charged, the direction of the charge transport process inside the battery is opposite to that of the discharge. Specifically, the energy storage inverter system 40 is electrically connected to an external charging device 50, and transmits the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 to the battery unit 10 to realize charging of the battery unit 10.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery management system 20 is electrically connected to the battery unit 10, and is used to measure the terminal voltage of the battery unit 10 and charge the cells 10 evenly so that each battery in the battery unit 10 is in an evenly matched state. The battery management system 20 measures the total voltage, total current and charge state of the battery unit 10 to dynamically monitor the operating state of the battery unit 10. During charging and discharging of the battery, the terminal voltage, temperature, charge and discharge current and total voltage of each battery in the battery unit 10 are collected in real time to prevent the occurrence of overcharging and overdischarging of the battery, and to realize real-time data display, data recording and analysis, etc. The battery management system 20 outputs a signal according to the detected charge state of the battery unit 10.

[0022] Specifically, when the charge state is lower than a preset threshold, the battery management system 20 outputs a first signal to the switch unit 30. The switch unit 30 cuts off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal. When the charge state is equal to or higher than a preset threshold, the battery management system 20 outputs a second signal to the switch unit 30. The switch unit 30 establishes the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal.

[0023] The charge state can be understood as the ratio of the remaining power of the battery to the rated capacity under the same conditions at a certain discharge rate. The preset threshold is a threshold preset by a user, and may be 20%, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the switch unit 30 is electrically connected between the battery management system 20 and the battery unit 10. The switch unit 30 receives a signal from the battery management system 20 and, based on the signal, cuts off or conducts the electrical connection between the battery management system 20 and the battery unit 10. When the electrical connection between the battery management system 20 and the battery unit 10 is cut off, the power supply from the battery unit 10 to the battery management system 20 is cut off. When the electrical connection between the battery management system 20 and the battery unit 10 is conducted, the battery unit 10 supplies power to the battery management system 20. This prevents the battery management system 20 from powering the battery unit 10 when the charge state of the battery unit 10 falls below a preset threshold.

[0025] Specifically, when the charge state of the battery unit 10 is low and the battery unit 10 cannot be charged from the outside in a timely manner, even if the battery management system 20 enters a sleep mode, the battery management system 20 still consumes power, so that the storage time of the electrochemical device 100 cannot meet the demand. Therefore, in the electrochemical device 100 according to the present application, a switch unit 30 is provided to conduct or cut off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on a signal output from the battery management system 20. When the charge state of the battery unit 10 is lower than a preset threshold and the charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50 is not obtained, the battery management system 20 outputs a first signal to the switch unit 30. The switch unit 30 cuts off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal. That is, the battery unit 10 no longer supplies power to the battery management system 20, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electrochemical device 100 and maintaining a long energy storage time. The battery management system 20 outputs a second signal to the switch unit 30 when the charge state is smaller than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 acquires a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50. The switch unit 30 conducts an electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal of the external charging device, so that the battery unit 10 supplies power to the battery management system 20 after the external charging device 50 transmits electrical energy to the battery unit 10.

[0026] As can be seen, the first signal is used to disconnect the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20, and the second signal is used to conduct the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20.

[0027] Also, when the external charging device 50 charges the electrochemical device 100 , the electrochemical device 100 receives a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50 .

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of an electrochemical device 100 of the present application.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery management system 20 includes a first control unit 60 and a second control unit 223. The first control unit 60 is electrically connected to the switch unit 30, and controls the switch unit 30 to establish or cut off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the signal output from the battery management system 20.

[0030] Specifically, when the state of charge is smaller than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 does not receive a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50, the second control unit 223 outputs a disconnection signal to the first control unit 60. The first control unit 60 outputs a first signal based on the signal output by the second control unit 223. The first control unit 60 controls the switch unit 30 to disconnect the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal. When the state of charge is smaller than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 receives a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50, the first control unit 60 outputs a second signal. The first control unit 60 controls the switch unit 30 to conduct the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal. When the state of charge is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the battery management system 20 outputs a second signal to the first control unit 60. The first control unit 60 controls the switch unit 30 to establish an electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal.

[0031] For example, when the charge state is less than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 does not receive a power supply signal from the external charging device 50, i.e., when the current charge state is less than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 does not receive a power supply signal from the external charging device 50, the second control unit 223 outputs a cutoff signal to the first control unit 60 or the switch unit 30. When the cutoff signal is output to the first control unit 60, the first control unit 60 outputs a first signal to the switch unit 30 based on the cutoff signal to control the switch unit 30 to cut off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal. When the first signal, which is a cutoff signal, is output to the switch unit 30, the switch unit 30 cuts off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal. In this way, when the charge state is less than a preset threshold and the battery unit 10 is not receiving charge from the external charging device 50, the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 is disconnected, charging of the battery unit 10 to the battery management system 20 is stopped, and long-term energy storage of the electrochemical device 100 is maintained.

[0032] When the state of charge is less than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 receives a power supply signal from the external charging device 50, i.e., when the current state of charge is less than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 receives power from the external charging device 50, the second control unit 223 outputs a conduction signal to the first control unit 60 or the switch unit 30. When the conduction signal is output to the first control unit 60, the first control unit 60 outputs a second signal to the switch unit 30 based on the conduction signal, and controls the switch unit 30 to conduct the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal. When the conduction signal, which is the second signal, is output to the switch unit 30, the switch unit 30 conducts the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal. In this way, when the charge state is less than a preset threshold and the battery unit 10 receives a power supply signal from the external charging device 50, the battery unit 10 receives the electrical energy supplied from the external charging device 50, and the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 is established, so that even if the battery unit 10 charges the battery management system 20, a power shortage of the battery unit 10 can be avoided.

[0033] When the charge state is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the second control unit 223 outputs a continuity signal to the first control unit 60 or the switch unit 30. When the continuity signal is output to the first control unit 60, the first control unit 60 outputs a second signal to the switch unit 30 based on the continuity signal, controls the switch unit 30, and establishes electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal. When the second signal, which is a continuity signal, is output to the switch unit 30, the switch unit 30 establishes electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal. In this way, when the charge state is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 is established, and the battery unit 10 charges the battery management system 20.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of an electrochemical device 100 of the present application.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the electrochemical device 100 further includes a first power supply management unit 70. The first power supply management unit 70 is electrically connected between the first control unit 60 and the external charging device 50, and outputs a power supply voltage Vcc output by the external charging device 50. electric The voltage is converted into a second voltage and power is supplied to the first control unit 60. It is configured as follows: The first control unit 60 controls the switching unit 30 to establish an electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the second signal.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the electrochemical device 100 further includes a second power management unit 80 and a second control unit 223. A first end of the second power management unit 80 is electrically connected to the battery unit 10, a second end of the second power management unit 80 is electrically connected to the switch unit 30, and a third end of the second power management unit 80 is electrically connected to the second control unit 223. When the charge state is less than a preset threshold and the electrochemical device 100 does not receive a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50, the second control unit 223 controls the first control unit 60 to output the first signal. Thus, the switch unit 30 cuts off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 based on the first signal.

[0037] In one possible embodiment, the battery further includes a third power management unit 90, which is electrically connected between the first power management unit 70 and the external charging device 50, and converts a third voltage output by the external charging device 50 into a first voltage; The above Transfer a first voltage to the first power management unit 70. It is configured as follows: .

[0038] In one possible embodiment, the first control unit 60 further includes a second diode D2 and a third diode D3. The anode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the third power management unit 90. The cathode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the cathodes of the first power management unit 70 and the third diode D3. The anode of the third diode D3 is electrically connected to the second power management unit 80. When the electrochemical device obtains a charging current transmitted from the external charging device 50, the external charging device 50 supplies power to the first control unit 60 through the second diode D2 and the third diode D3.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, when the switching unit 30 is in a cut-off state, i.e., after the electrical connection between the second power management unit 80 and the battery unit 10 is cut off, the second power management unit 80 cannot transfer the electrical energy of the battery unit 10 to the battery management system 20. That is, the second power management unit 80 cuts off the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the battery management system 20 under the control of the switching unit 30, and further prevents the battery unit 10 from supplying electrical energy to the battery management system 20. The switching unit 30 controls the second power management unit 80. That is, it controls the power input of the battery management system 20, and when the charge state of the battery unit 10 falls below a preset threshold, the battery unit 10 stops supplying power to the battery management system 20, the battery management system 20 is powered off, and the power consumption of the battery unit 10 is reduced.

[0040] With additional reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram according to a preferred embodiment of the electrochemical device 100 of the present application.

[0041] The first power management unit 70 is electrically connected between the first control unit 60 and the external charging device 50, and controls the power supply voltage Vcc output by the external charging device 50. electric converting the voltage to a second voltage to supply power to the first control unit 60; It is configured as follows: .

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the first power management unit 70 can receive electrical energy from the third power management unit 90 and the second power management unit 80. The third power management unit 90 and the second power management unit 80 compete to supply power to the first power management unit 70.

[0043] The anode of the third diode D3 is electrically connected to the second power management unit 80, and the cathode of the third diode D3 is electrically connected to the first power management unit .

[0045] The anode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the third power management unit 90, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the first power management unit .

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the second diode D2 is used to realize unidirectional transfer of power between the third power management unit 90 and the first power management unit 70, and supplies electrical energy of the third power management unit 90 to the first power management unit 70 in one direction.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, when an external charging device 50 is accessed, for example, when an external city tram or solar power generation is accessed, the energy storage inverter system 40 transmits the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 to the third power management unit 90. The third power management unit 90 transfers the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 in one direction to the first power management unit 70 via the second diode D2, and the first power management unit 70 supplies power to the first control unit 60. After turning on the power, the first control unit 60 controls the switch unit 30 to be conductive. Then, the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the second power management unit 80 is made conductive. The battery unit 10 connects to the battery management system 20 via the second power management unit 80. Power SupplyAt the same time, in order to prevent the first control unit 60 from being easily powered off when the external charging device 50 is unstable, the second power management unit 80 transfers the electrical energy of the second power management unit 80 to the first power management unit 70 in one direction through the third diode D3, and supplies power to the first control unit 60 by the first power management unit 70, thereby realizing competitive power supply between the third power management unit 90 and the second power management unit 80 to the first control unit 60.

[0048] The anode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the external charging device 50 and the cathode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the second power management unit 80, so that the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 is transferred to the second power management unit 80, and the electrical energy is transferred to the battery management system 20 or the first control unit 60 via the second power management unit 80.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the energy storage inverter system 40 is electrically connected to an external charging device 50. When accessing an external city tram or solar power generation, the energy storage inverter system 40 cannot supply power to the first power management unit 70, and the energy storage inverter system 40 transfers the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 unidirectionally to the second power management unit 80 through the first diode D1. This allows the second power management unit 80 to supply power to the first power management unit 70 and the battery management system 20, and the first power management unit 70 supplies power to the first control unit 60, which turns on the power and controls the switch unit 30 to be conductive. Then, the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the second power management unit 80 is realized.

Usually, in an N-type transistor, the drain voltage should be equal to or greater than the source voltage, so that the source / drain position changes depending on the bias state of the transistor. In another embodiment, the pre-switch transistor Q1 can be mechanically opened and closed. The switch transistor Q1 may be an NMOS transistor.

[0062] The first end of the switch transistor Q1 is electrically connected between the battery unit 10 and the switching K. The second end of the switch transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the anode of the fourth diode D4. The third end of the switch transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first master chip U1. The other end of the first master chip U1 is electrically connected to the current detection circuit 61. The cathode of the fourth diode D4 is electrically connected to one end of the first stage coil of the first transformer T1. The other end of the first stage coil of the first transformer T1 is electrically connected to the first end of the switch transistor Q1 via the battery unit 10. One end of the second stage coil of the first transformer T1 is grounded. The other end of the second stage coil of the first transformer T1 is electrically connected to the anode of the third diode D3 and between the third electrical connection unit 221 and the fourth converter 222. The cathode of the third diode D3 is electrically connected to the cathode of the second diode D2 and one end of the first stage coil of the third transformer T3. The other end of the first stage coil of the third transformer T3 is grounded. Both ends of the second stage coil of the third transformer T3 are electrically connected to the power input terminal of the first master chip U1. The anode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to one end of the second stage coil of the second transformer T2. The other end of the second stage coil of the second transformer T2 is grounded. One end of the first stage coil of the second transformer T2 is electrically connected to the energy storage inverter system 40. The other end of the first stage coil of the second transformer T2 is grounded.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the energy storage inverter system 40 further includes a switch transistor Q2, a third master chip U3, and a third converter 43. The switch transistor Q2 may be an electronic switch that is resistant to high voltage and has a low leakage current, such as a transistor.

The other end of the third converter 43 is electrically connected to a first terminal of the switch transistor Q2. A third end of the switch transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the third master chip U3. A second end of the switch transistor Q2 is electrically connected to one end of a first stage coil of the second transformer T2.

[0065] The operating principle of the electrochemical device 100 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the circuit diagram shown in FIG.

[0066] When the battery management system 20 is in an operating state, the N analog front ends AFE1-AFEN collect parameters such as voltage and temperature of the M battery packs B1-BN through the corresponding first electrical connection parts NCA1-NCAN, and transfer the acquired parameters to the corresponding control chips UC1-UCN through the photocoupler isolation units PC1-PCN in the battery management subunit 211. The N control chips UC1-UCN transfer the detected parameter data such as voltage and temperature to the control chip U2. The control chip U2 calculates a charge state from the obtained parameter data, and compares the obtained charge state with a preset threshold. When the charge state falls below the preset threshold, the control chip U2 outputs a signal to the first master chip U1 so that the first master chip U1 turns off the switch transistor Q1. When the switch transistor Q1 is cut off, the battery unit 10 positive electrode and one end of the first stage coil of the first transformer T1 are cut off. As a result, if the battery unit 10 cannot supply power to the first transformer T1, the first transformer T1 cannot output electrical energy to the control chip U2. Then, the power supply of the control chip U2 is cut off. Furthermore, the charging and discharging process of the battery unit 10 cannot be managed. The battery management system 20 is powered off.

[0067] When the external charging device 50 is accessed, the external charging device 50 performs power conversion through the energy storage inverter system 40, and the third master chip U3 is energized to control the switch transistor Q2 to be conductive, and transfers the electrical energy of the external charging device 50 to the second transformer T2 through the first converter 42, the second converter 41, the third converter 43 and the switch transistor Q2. The second transformer T2 transfers the electrical energy to the third transformer T3 through the second diode D2, and transfers the electrical energy to the first master chip U1 through the third transformer T3. After being energized, the first master chip U1 controls the switch transistor Q1 to be conductive. Thus, the electrical connection between the battery unit 10 and the first transformer T1 is conducted, and the battery unit 10 supplies power to the control chip U2 through the first transformer T1. At the same time, the first transformer T1 supplies power to the third transformer T3 through the third diode D3. This allows competitive power supply to the first master chip U1 by the first transformer T1 and the third transformer T3.

[0068] When an external charging device 50 is accessed but the electrical energy of the energy storage inverter system 40 cannot be charged to the third transformer T3 through the second transformer T2, the energy storage inverter system 40 transfers the converted electrical energy to one end of the first stage coil of the first transformer T1 through the first diode D1, conducts the electrical connection path between the first transformer T1 and the energy storage inverter system 40, and supplies power to the first master chip U1 and the control chip U2 through the first transformer T1, thereby realizing the power supply for the first master chip U1 and the control chip U2.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the switch unit 30 is provided to cut off the charging of the battery management system 20 by the battery unit 10 when the charge state of the battery unit 10 falls below a preset threshold. In this way, the electrochemical device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application can maintain a longer energy storage time when the electrochemical device 100 is in a low charge state and cannot be charged externally in a timely manner.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application further provides an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes the energy storage inverter system 40.
