Background Art

[0003] Currently, in the market, for portable micro - sized energy storage products, due to the soaring cost of electronic products, each manufacturer has begun to continuously search for cheaper alternatives. When selecting an alternative, usually, a cheap chip with weak computing power is selected, or the resources and performance of the peripheral devices of the chip are continuously compressed. However, in micro - sized mobile power products, there are relatively many related operations such as SOC (State of Charge) estimation, and only chips with high performance, high computing power, and fast computing speed can be applied. Pursuing only cheap chips without simplifying the operations will inevitably make them inapplicable and incompatible.

[0004] In chip operations, the computing overhead required for SOC estimation is relatively large. In current technologies, the ampere - hour integration method is often adopted for SOC estimation, and its formula is as follows: JPEG0007708859000001.jpg13163 This algorithm uses operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but the computing overhead is extremely large, and cheap chips with weak computing power cannot meet its computing requirements.

[0021] The mobile power source in this application is a portable micro energy storage power source with a screen display unit (capable of displaying the SOC value) that can supply power to digital products and small household appliances, etc.

By knowing the values that the SOC can take, the operation of the mobile power source can be controlled.

[0031] The above mobile power supply 30 can execute the method provided by the embodiments of the present application and is equipped with functional modules corresponding to the execution of the method. For technical details not described in detail in this embodiment, reference can be made to the method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the SOC estimation method provided by the embodiments of the present application, and FIG. 4 is a process schematic diagram of the SOC estimation provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method is applied to the above mobile power supply and includes the following steps as shown in FIG. 3.

[0033] S01. Calculate the value of the electrical quantity of the fixed step size of the mobile power supply. Considering the influence of temperature on the charge and discharge of the battery, a factor of ambient temperature is taken into account for the value of the fixed-step-size charge quantity, that is, temperature correction is performed. Specifically, the value of the fixed-step-size charge quantity of the mobile power supply is calculated from the following formula, where the formula is as follows: JPEG0007708859000008.jpg128163

[0034] S02, the unit charge quantity is sequentially and stepwise superimposed to calculate the cumulative charge quantity from the time point of the previous SOC change of the mobile power supply. Specifically, according to the unit time, the unit charge quantity is sequentially and stepwise superimposed to calculate the cumulative charge quantity Q from the time point of the previous SOC change of the mobile power supply.

[0035] As an option, in this embodiment, the unit time is the calculation period T2 of the SOC of the mobile power supply. However, when obtaining the unit charge quantity, it is necessary to first obtain the calculation period T2 of the SOC of the mobile power supply, the sampling period T1 of the current, and the sampling current I. Here, the smaller the sampling period T1 of the current, the more the actual change situation can be reflected. However, in actual applications, considering the performance and necessity of the chip in the mobile power supply (for example, when the temperature change is relatively slow), the sampling period T1 of the current may be at the level of hundreds / milliseconds or seconds. However, the sampling current I is at the level of milliseconds or microseconds. Preferably, the sampling period T1 of the current may be 10 ms. If the value of the calculation period T2 of the SOC is too small, the calculation amount will be excessive. If the value of the calculation period T2 of the SOC is too large, there may be a risk that the change of the SOC of the mobile power supply is not smooth enough. As an option, the value of the calculation period T2 of the SOC can take 100 ms. The sampling period T1 of the current and the calculation period T2 of the SOC can be adjusted and set according to the actual situation.

[0036] Specifically, since the calculation period T2 of the SOC of the mobile power supply is much larger than the sampling period T1 of the mobile power supply, within one calculation period T2 of the SOC, there are multiple sampling periods T1 of current, and since the sampling current within each sampling period T1 of current may be different, the unit amount of electricity ΔQ within each calculation period of the SOC n adopts an integration method and is expressed as follows: JPEG0007708859000009.jpg25141

[0037] Considering the actual programming implementation, it is necessary to discretize the above integration formula, that is, the average value of the currents sampled multiple times is used as a constant current within the time of the calculation period T2. JPEG0007708859000010.jpg38125

[0038] In the above formula, for the acquisition of the k value, it can be obtained only by one division, but after all, it is still a division. In order to reduce the operation overhead, the k value is further optimized as follows: JPEG0007708859000011.jpg642Here, j is a positive integer. k takes the power of 2. The advantages of setting it in this way are as follows: In the chip, binary arithmetic is adopted. When the divisor is the power of 2, the operation speed can be increased by using a left shift instead of division.

[0039] Since the sampling current I corresponding to each sampling period T1 is necessarily different, it should be understood that each unit amount of electricity is also different.

[0040] At a certain point in time, the cumulative amount of electricity is the sum of the cumulative amount of electricity at the previous point in time and the unit amount of electricity. Here, Q n =Q n-1 +ΔQ n ; Here, the time difference between the current point in time and the previous point in time is T2, Q n represents the cumulative amount of electricity at the current point in time, Q n-1 represents the cumulative amount of electricity at the previous point in time, and ΔQ nrepresents the unit electric quantity from the previous point in time to the current point in time.

[0041] When taking the change point of the previous SOC as the start point, the above formula is further converted into the following formula: JPEG0007708859000012.jpg29119

[0042] It should be understood that the above unit time can be set according to actual needs. For example, the unit time can be set to 2T2 or 3T2, and accordingly, the unit electric quantity also changes accordingly. The larger the unit time is set, the fewer times of comparison in the subsequent step S03, and the calculation overhead of the chip can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0043] S03. Compare the absolute value of the cumulative electric quantity with the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size, perform addition and subtraction based on the comparison result, and obtain the SOC value at the current point in time and the start value of the cumulative electric quantity at the next point in time. Specifically, compare the absolute value of the cumulative electric quantity with the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size. When the absolute value of the cumulative electric quantity is greater than or equal to the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size, add or subtract the fixed step size to the SOC value at the previous point in time according to the charge and discharge state of the mobile power supply to obtain the current SOC value, and subtract or add the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size to the cumulative electric quantity to obtain the start value of the cumulative electric quantity at the next point in time. When the absolute value of the cumulative electric quantity is smaller than the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size, hold the SOC value at the previous point in time as the current SOC value, and save the cumulative electric quantity as the start value of the cumulative electric quantity at the next point in time.

[0044] As described above, when the absolute value of the cumulative electric quantity is smaller than the value of the electric quantity of the fixed step size, it also corresponds to performing addition and subtraction, but it should be understood that the additive or subtractive number is 0.

[0045] Here, when the mobile power supply operates, the mobile power supply acquires a charge-discharge state, and the processor periodically acquires the cumulative charge of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply is in a charging state, the input is greater than the output, and the cumulative charge is positive. When the mobile power supply is in a discharging state, the input is less than the output, and the cumulative charge is negative.

[0046] Specifically, after each calculation period T2 of the SOC, the cumulative charge Q is compared with the charge value ΔC of the fixed step size.

[0047] When |Q|≧ΔC and the mobile power supply is in a charging state, the fixed step size is added to the previous SOC value to obtain the current SOC value, and the charge value of the fixed step size is subtracted from the cumulative charge to obtain the start value of the cumulative charge at the next time point. When |Q|≧ΔC and the mobile power supply is in a discharging state, the fixed step size is subtracted from the previous SOC value to obtain the current SOC value, and the charge value of the fixed step size is added to the cumulative charge to obtain the start value of the cumulative charge at the next time point.

[0048] S04. After the SOC value is updated, if the cumulative charge continues to change, steps S02 - S03 are cycled. If the cumulative charge does not change, the previous SOC value is held, and the current cumulative charge is saved. Specifically, when the mobile power supply is being charged or discharged, the cumulative charge constantly changes. When the charging and discharging of the mobile power supply stops, the cumulative charge does not change. Here, each time a cycle is performed, the start time point for calculating the cumulative charge in step S02 changes. The start time point is updated at each change time point of the SOC, and the corresponding start value of the cumulative charge is also updated to Q - ΔC.

[0049] The following takes the charging of a mobile power supply at room temperature as an example to show a process schematic diagram of steps S02 - S04 in the SOC estimation process. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the cumulative amount of electricity from the start of charging to a certain point during the charging of the mobile power supply. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the total cumulative amount of electricity from the start of charging to the end of charging of the mobile power supply.

[0050] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, time t M-1 is the start time of a certain charging of the mobile power supply, time t N1 is a certain time during charging, and time t M is the time to stop charging. Assume that the SOC value at the start time of charging is 23.4% and the fixed step size P is 0.1%.

[0051] During charging, the current is sampled within each sampling period T1 of each current to obtain the real - time current. Within each calculation period T2 of each SOC, after calculating the unit amount of electricity within this period, the cumulative amount of electricity and the SOC are calculated.

[0052] Regarding the unit amount of electricity within each calculation period T2 of each SOC, its calculation formula is as follows: JPEG0007708859000013.jpg954Here, k = 8 and n = 1, 2,..., 8.

[0053] After each calculation period of each SOC, the cumulative amount of electricity is calculated, and the cumulative amount of electricity is compared with the value ΔC of the electricity amount of the fixed step size. In this example, assuming that the start value of the cumulative amount of electricity is 0, ΔQ1, ΔQ1 + ΔQ2, ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 + ΔQ3, ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 + ΔQ3 + ΔQ4,..., ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 +... + ΔQ8 are all compared with ΔC. Assuming in this example that ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 +... + ΔQ7 < ΔC and ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 +... + ΔQ7 + ΔQ8 ≧ ΔC, at time t N1 the SOC value at this time is the SOC value at time t M-1 plus the fixed step size P, that is, 23.5%. And the value of the electricity amount of the fixed step size is subtracted from the cumulative amount of electricity to obtain the start value of the cumulative amount of electricity at the next time point, that is, QtN1 -ΔC is obtained, where Q tN1 = ΔQ1 + ΔQ2 +... + ΔQ8.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 6, the mobile power supply continues to charge, the cumulative charge continues to change, and the above process continues to cycle. Additionally, for time t N2 at that time, the starting point for calculating the cumulative charge is updated to time t N1 and the starting value of the cumulative charge becomes Q tN1 -ΔC, and the cumulative charge becomes the charge accumulated from time t N1 to time t N2 . Similarly, for times t N3 , t N4 , t M , each time the SOC value changes, the starting point for calculating the cumulative charge is updated to the previous SOC change time point, the starting value of the cumulative charge is updated to the cumulative charge at the previous SOC change time point minus ΔC, and the cumulative charge becomes the charge accumulated from the previous SOC change time point to that time point.

[0055] t N2 t N3 t N4 until time t tN2 the cumulative charges Q tN3 Q tN4 are each greater than or equal to ΔC. Therefore, the SOC values at times t N2 t N3 t N4 are 23.6%, 23.7%, and 23.8% respectively, and at time t N4 the starting value of the cumulative charge for the next time point is Q tN4 -ΔC. Until time t M the cumulative charge Q tM < ΔC, so the SOC value at time t M is maintained at the SOC at the previous time t N4 i.e., 23.8%, and the current cumulative charge is saved as the starting value of the cumulative charge when the charge changes next time.

[0056] As for the chip, in terms of arithmetic overhead, it is remainder calculation > division > multiplication > subtraction > addition. For an inexpensive chip with weak arithmetic capabilities, especially a chip without a hardware divider, many divisions result in a large overhead, and this calculation method is also disadvantageous for calculation stability. By adopting the SOC estimation method as described above, in actual programming, only if judgments and addition / subtraction can be used instead of existing divisions, significantly reducing the calculation amount when estimating the SOC, reducing the consumption of calculation resources and the occupation of memory space (in actual applications, a chip with low levels of 8 bits and 5 - 16K Flash can be adopted), significantly reducing the requirements for the arithmetic capabilities of the chip and the resources of peripheral devices, reducing the energy consumption of the equipment, increasing the SOC estimation speed, and enhancing the stability of the calculation.

[0057] In some embodiments, it further includes correcting the SOC value obtained in step S04 at the charging and discharging end stage of the mobile power supply.

[0058] From the characteristics of the charging and discharging terminal voltage of lithium iron phosphate, it can be seen that for the voltage of the battery, at the full charge and full discharge stages, the voltage has a tendency to rise rapidly and a tendency to drop rapidly. Therefore, the SOC is corrected at the charging and discharging end stage.

[0059] For example, according to the characteristics of the battery, a voltage threshold U up corresponding to the charging end and a voltage threshold U de corresponding to the discharging end are each set to one, when the voltage U of the mobile power supply is between U up and U de and does not exceed the range, it is considered that the SOC of the mobile power supply will not become fully charged or empty, so there is no need to correct the SOC value obtained in step S04.

[0060] During charging, when the voltage U of the mobile power supply is greater than U up and the SOC does not become fully charged, a correction process is introduced: JPEG0007708859000014.jpg25161

[0061] During discharge, when the voltage U of the mobile power supply is less than U de and the SOC does not become empty, a correction process is introduced: JPEG0007708859000015.jpg25162

[0062] To further improve the accuracy, according to the characteristics of the battery, the voltage thresholds U up1 and U up2 corresponding to the end of charging and the voltage thresholds U de1 and U de2 corresponding to the end of discharge are each set to two, and it should be understood that the corresponding correction parameters α1, α2, β1, and β2 can also be obtained in actual tests.

[0063] According to the SOC estimation method as described above, experiments were conducted. Under normal temperature conditions, charging was carried out using a mobile power supply with a rated capacity of 5.4 Ah. SOC estimations were performed using the conventional ampere-hour integration method and the method as described above in this application respectively. A comparison diagram of the obtained SOC estimation curves is shown in FIG. 7. The cumulative charge amount / rated capacity in the figure represents the ampere-hour integration method used.

[0064] As can be seen from FIG. 7, during charging, the degree of coincidence of the SOC curves obtained by both methods is relatively high. Especially at the end of charging, the corrected SOC estimated value and the SOC estimation curve diagram obtained by the ampere-hour integration method also highly coincide, indicating that the estimation accuracy of the SOC estimation method of this application is high.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the configuration of the SOC estimation device provided by an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 8, the SOC estimation device 40 includes a first calculation module 41, a second calculation module 42, a comparison acquisition module 43, and a determination cycle module 44.

[0066] The first calculation module 41 is for calculating the value of the electrical quantity of the fixed step size of the mobile power supply. The second calculation module 42 is for calculating the cumulative charge amount from the time point of the previous change in the SOC of the mobile power supply by sequentially and stepwise superimposing unit charge amounts. The comparison and acquisition module 43 is for comparing the absolute value of the cumulative charge amount with the charge amount value of the fixed step size, performing addition and subtraction based on the comparison result, and acquiring the current SOC value and the start value of the cumulative charge amount at the next time point. The determination cycle module 44 determines whether the cumulative charge amount continues to change after the update of the SOC value. When the cumulative charge amount continues to change, the first calculation module 41, the second calculation module 42, and the comparison and acquisition module 43 are cycle-controlled so that the first calculation module 41 calculates the charge amount value of the fixed step size of the mobile power supply, the second calculation module 42 sequentially and stepwise superimposes unit charge amounts to calculate the cumulative charge amount from the time point of the previous change in the SOC of the mobile power supply, and the comparison and acquisition module 43 compares the absolute value of the cumulative charge amount with the charge amount value of the fixed step size, performs addition and subtraction based on the comparison result, and acquires the current SOC value and the start value of the cumulative charge amount at the next time point. When the cumulative charge amount does not change, it is for holding the previous SOC value and saving the current cumulative charge amount.
