Moreover, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements that are not clearly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, the term "and / or" in this application is merely a description of an association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The term "plurality" refers to two or more (including two).

[0035] New energy vehicle loads include high-voltage modules such as the motor, on-board charger (OBC), and direct current to direct current converter (DC-DC). These modules form the high-voltage system platform of new energy vehicles. Currently, the mainstream high-voltage system platforms are 400V or 800V. The operating voltage range of the 400V high-voltage system platform is 180V to 490V, while the operating voltage range of the 800V high-voltage system platform is 350V to 760V.

[0036] The battery pack in a new energy vehicle (NEV) is typically composed of multiple cells connected in series, for example, 192 cells in series form a battery pack. Despite the same number of cells in a pack, different battery packs have different voltage ranges. For example, the voltage range of a ternary lithium-ion battery pack is 403.2V to 844.8V, that of a lithium iron phosphate battery pack is 384V to 729.6V, and that of a sodium-ion battery pack is 288V to 844.8V. If a NEV uses an 800V high-voltage system platform, if a ternary lithium-ion battery pack is used as the power source, the high-voltage range of the ternary lithium-ion battery pack exceeds the maximum operating voltage of the 800V high-voltage system platform. If a sodium-ion battery pack is used as the power source, the low-voltage range of the sodium-ion battery pack is lower than the minimum operating voltage of the 800V high-voltage system platform, while the high-voltage range of the sodium-ion battery pack is higher than the maximum operating voltage of the 800V high-voltage system platform. This indicates a mismatch between the operating voltage ranges of the battery pack and the high-voltage system platform.

[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a circuit system, including a battery component, a switching circuit and a power replenishment module. The battery component includes a first battery pack and a second battery pack. The switching circuit is connected to the first battery pack and the second battery pack, respectively. When the voltage of the battery component does not match the operating voltage of the load, the switching circuit converts the two battery packs into series-parallel and adjusts the operating bandwidth of the battery component so that the voltage of the battery component matches the operating voltage of the load. In addition, since the first battery pack and the second battery pack are switched between the series state and the parallel state, there will be a short period of power outage. By setting up a power replenishment module, the power replenishment module is connected to the load, and the load is powered during the process of the switching circuit switching the first battery pack and the second battery pack from the parallel state to the series state, so that the load can work normally during the process of the first battery pack and the second battery pack switching between the series state and the parallel state.

[0038] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a circuit system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The circuit system 100 may include: a battery component 101 , a switching circuit 102 and a power replenishment module 103 .

[0039] The circuit system 100 can be installed in various electrical devices, such as new energy vehicles, electric boats, electric bicycles, etc. To facilitate understanding of the solution of the present application, the circuit system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below using the circuit system 100 installed in a new energy vehicle as an example.

[0040] Battery assembly 101 is used to provide power to the load of a new energy vehicle. Battery assembly 101 includes a first battery pack and a second battery pack. Multiple batteries are connected in series to form a battery pack. The number of batteries connected in series in the first and second battery packs can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0041] For example, the battery component 101 includes 192 batteries, and the first battery pack and the second battery pack are each formed by 96 batteries connected in series.

[0042] The switching circuit 102 is connected to the first battery pack and the second battery pack respectively. The switching circuit 102 is used to switch the series-parallel state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack according to the voltage of the battery component 101.

[0043] The voltage of the battery component 101 may be a discharge voltage of the battery component, a voltage of the battery component during charging, etc. The following description will be made by taking the voltage of the battery component 101 as the discharge voltage of the battery component as an example.

[0044] When the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series, the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is the discharge voltage when the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series; when the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in parallel, the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is the discharge voltage when the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in parallel.

[0045] For example, battery unit 101 includes 192 ternary lithium-ion batteries, with the first and second battery packs each consisting of 96 ternary lithium-ion batteries connected in series. When the first and second battery packs are connected in series, the discharge voltage of battery unit 101 is between 403.2V and 844.8V (the discharge voltage of battery unit 101 varies with the battery pack charge). When the first and second battery packs are connected in parallel, the discharge voltage of battery unit 101 is between 201.6V and 422.4V.

[0046] Furthermore, the switching circuit 102 is configured to switch the first battery pack and the second battery pack from a series connection to a parallel connection when the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series and the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is higher than the upper limit of the operating voltage of the load.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the load of the new energy vehicle may include high-voltage modules such as motors and DC-DC, and the operating voltage range of each high-voltage module is the same. Taking the motor as an example, during the driving process of the new energy vehicle, the motor operates under the power supply of the battery component 101. During the operation of the motor, the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 should be within the operating voltage range of the motor so that the motor can work normally. When the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series, if the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is higher than the upper limit of the operating voltage of the motor, the switching circuit 102 switches the first battery pack and the second battery pack from a series connection to a parallel connection, reducing the discharge voltage of the battery component 101, so that the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is within the operating voltage range of the motor.

[0048] For example, during the operation of a new energy vehicle, the motor's operating voltage ranges from 350V to 760V. Battery unit 101 includes 192 ternary lithium-ion batteries, with the first and second battery packs each consisting of 96 ternary lithium-ion batteries connected in series. When the first and second battery packs are connected in series, the discharge voltage of battery unit 101 ranges from 403.2V to 844.8V. When the charge levels of the first and second battery packs are high, the discharge voltage of the series-connected first and second battery packs will exceed the upper limit of the motor's operating voltage of 760V. If the discharge voltage of battery unit 101 exceeds the upper limit of the motor's operating voltage, switching circuit 102 switches the first and second battery packs from a series connection to a parallel connection. When the first and second battery packs are connected in series, the maximum discharge voltage of battery unit 101 is 422.4V, which is no higher than 760V and can meet the motor's operating requirements.

[0049] Furthermore, the switching circuit 102 is configured to switch the first battery pack and the second battery pack from a parallel connection to a series connection when the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in parallel and the discharge voltage of the battery component 101 is lower than the lower limit of the operating voltage of the load.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, according to circuit principles, switching the two battery packs from a parallel connection to a series connection increases the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101. Therefore, if the first and second battery packs are connected in parallel and the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101 is lower than the lower operating voltage limit of the load, switching the first and second battery packs from a parallel connection to a series connection can increase the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101, thereby bringing the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101 within the operating voltage range of the load.

[0051] For example, during the operation of a new energy vehicle, the motor's operating voltage ranges from 350V to 760V. Battery assembly 101 includes 192 ternary lithium-ion batteries, with the first and second battery packs each consisting of 96 ternary lithium-ion batteries connected in series. When the first and second battery packs are connected in parallel, the discharge voltage of battery assembly 101 ranges from 201.6V to 422.4V. When the charge levels of the first and second battery packs are low, the discharge voltage of the series-connected first and second battery packs will fall below the motor's operating voltage lower limit of 350V. If the discharge voltage of battery assembly 101 falls below the motor's operating voltage lower limit, switching circuit 102 switches the first and second battery packs from parallel to series connection. When the first and second battery packs are connected in series, the minimum discharge voltage of battery assembly 101 is 403.2V, which does not fall below 350V and meets the motor's operating requirements.

[0052] In actual applications, new energy vehicles may be equipped with a battery management system (BMS), which can collect the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101 in real time. By comparing the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101 with the operating voltage range (upper or lower operating voltage limit) of the load, the switching circuit 102 is controlled to switch the series and parallel connection state of the first and second battery packs so that the discharge voltage of the battery unit 101 is within the operating voltage range of the load, meeting the normal operating requirements of the load.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , the switching circuit 102 may include: a first switch element K1, a second switch element K2, a third switch element K3, a fourth switch element K4, and a fifth switch element K5. The first switch element K1 is provided on the positive output line of the first battery pack; the second switch element K2 is provided on the negative output line of the first battery pack; the third switch element K3 is provided on the positive output line of the second battery pack; the fourth switch element K4 is provided on the negative output line of the second battery pack; and the fifth switch element K5 is provided on the connection line between the negative electrode of the first battery pack and the positive electrode of the second battery pack.

[0054] The first switch element K1, the second switch element K2, the third switch element K3, the fourth switch element K4, and the fifth switch element K5 may be contactors, which are controlled to close and open by low-voltage electromagnetic coils. The low-voltage electromagnetic coils have low electromagnetic radiation, which can reduce electromagnetic radiation interference with the battery component 101.

[0055] The first switch element K1, the fourth switch element K4 and the fifth switch element K5 are closed, the second switch element K2 and the third switch element K3 are disconnected, the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series, the positive terminal of the load is connected to the positive output line of the first battery pack, and the negative terminal of the load is connected to the negative output line of the second battery pack. The first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series to supply power to the load.

[0056] When the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in series, the fifth switch element K5 is first opened, and then the second switch element K2 and the third switch element K3 are closed to convert the first battery pack and the second battery pack from being connected in series to being connected in parallel.

[0057] The fifth switch element K5 is disconnected, the first switch element K1, the second switch element K2, the third switch element K3 and the fourth switch element K4 are closed, the first battery pack and the second battery pack are in parallel, the positive terminal of the load is connected to the positive output line of the first battery pack and the positive output line of the second battery pack, respectively, and the negative terminal of the load is connected to the negative output line of the first battery pack and the negative output line of the second battery pack, respectively. The first battery pack and the second battery pack supply power to the load in parallel.

[0058] When the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected in parallel, the second switch element K2 and the third switch element K3 are first opened, and then the fifth switch element K5 is closed to convert the first battery pack and the second battery pack from being connected in parallel to being connected in series.

[0059] Furthermore, the charging module 103 is configured to be connected to a load, and to stabilize the supply voltage to the load during the switching process when the switching circuit 102 switches the first battery pack and the second battery pack between the series state and the parallel state, thereby maintaining the power supply to the load.

[0060] When the first and second battery packs switch between series and parallel connections, a brief power outage may occur (battery unit 101 cannot power the load). This inability to power the load during operation of the new energy vehicle presents a safety hazard. A power replenishment module 103 is provided to power the load during the switching between series and parallel connections, ensuring normal operation of the load.

[0061] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the charging module 103 includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. The first capacitor C1 has one end connected to the positive output line of the first battery pack and the other end connected to the negative output line of the first battery pack. The second capacitor C2 has one end connected to the positive output line of the second battery pack and the other end connected to the negative output line of the second battery pack.

[0062] When the first and second battery packs are connected in parallel, the first battery pack charges the first capacitor C1, and the second battery pack charges the second capacitor C2. When the first and second battery packs transition from a parallel connection to a series connection, the second and third switching elements K2 and K3 are first disconnected, rendering the first and second battery packs unable to supply power to the load. The first and second capacitors C1 and C2 are then connected to the load, discharging to power the load. After the fifth switching element K5 is closed, the positive output line of the first battery pack is connected to the positive terminal of the load, and the negative output line of the second battery pack is connected to the negative terminal of the load. The first and second battery packs are connected in series to supply power to the load. The discharge capacities of the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 meet the load's normal operation requirements. The capacitance values ​​of the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 can be determined based on the discharge capacities required to ensure normal operation. Configuring the power replenishment module 103 as two capacitors to power the load through these two capacitors offers the advantages of simple implementation and low cost.

Then, the first battery pack is connected to the first DC charging interface module 106 and the second battery pack is connected to the second DC charging interface module 107 through the charge and discharge switching module 104. The first DC charging interface module 106 is connected to one DC charging pile, and the second DC charging interface module 107 is connected to another DC charging pile. The first battery pack and the second battery pack are charged respectively through the two DC charging piles, thereby improving the charging rate and charging efficiency.

[0083] Furthermore, as shown in FIG3 , the switching circuit 102 may further include: a second resistor R2 and a seventeenth switch element K17; one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to one end of the third switch element K3, the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to one end of the seventeenth switch element K17, and the other end of the seventeenth switch element K17 is connected to the other end of the third switch element K3.

When the second battery pack is discharging a load, the seventeenth switch element K17 is closed, and the second resistor R2 is used to reduce the back electromotive force caused by the inductive load and the voltage fluctuation caused by the capacitive load.

[0084] Furthermore, a current sensor I1 may be provided on the positive output line of the first battery pack to detect the current of the positive output line of the first battery pack. For example, one end of the current sensor I1 is connected to the positive electrode of the first battery pack, and the other end is connected to the first switching element K1.

[0085] Furthermore, a fuse may be provided on the positive output line of the first battery pack. The fuse is configured to blow when the current on the positive output line of the first battery pack exceeds a threshold, thereby protecting the circuit. For example, as shown in FIG3 , one end of the fuse F1 is connected to the first switching element K1, and the other end is connected to the current sensor I1.

[0086] Furthermore, a current sensor I2 may be provided on the positive output line of the second battery pack to detect the current of the positive output line of the second battery pack. For example, one end of the current sensor I2 is connected to the positive electrode of the second battery pack, and the other end is connected to the third switching element K3.

[0087] Furthermore, a fuse may be provided on the positive output line of the second battery pack. The fuse is designed to blow when the current on the positive output line of the first battery pack exceeds a threshold, thereby protecting the circuit. For example, as shown in FIG3 , one end of the fuse F2 is connected to the third switching element K3, and the other end is connected to the current sensor I2.

[0088] Furthermore, the switching circuit 102 may also adjust the series-parallel state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack according to the voltage of the battery component during the charging process.

[0089] As an optional implementation, the switching circuit 102 is further configured to switch the series-parallel state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack according to the current voltage and charging voltage of the battery component 101 .

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the maximum charging voltages of current charging piles on the market have various specifications, such as 400V, 750V, etc., if the maximum voltage of the battery component 101 is higher than the maximum voltage provided by the charging pile, the battery component 101 cannot be fully charged.

[0091] To solve the above problem, the switching circuit 102 can switch the series-parallel state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack according to the current voltage and charging voltage of the battery component 101. The switching method is as follows:

[0092] When the current voltage of the battery component 101 is lower than the charging voltage, the connection state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is switched to a series connection state;

[0093] In a case where the current voltage of the battery unit 101 is equal to or higher than the charging voltage, the connection state of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is switched to a parallel state.

[0094] If the current voltage of the battery unit 101 is lower than the charging voltage, the switching circuit 102 sets the first and second battery packs in series connection, allowing the charging station to charge the first and second battery packs. As charging time increases, the voltage of the battery unit 101 continues to rise. If the current voltage of the battery unit 101 is equal to or higher than the charging voltage, the switching circuit 102 switches the first and second battery packs from series connection to parallel connection, thereby reducing the voltage of the battery unit 101 and allowing the charging station to continue charging the first and second battery packs.

[0095] For example, the maximum voltage of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is 400V. The maximum charging voltage provided by the charging pile is 750V. When the power of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is low, the current voltage of the battery component 101 is lower than 750V, and the first battery pack and the second battery pack are charged in series. As the charging time increases, when the series voltage of the battery component 101 reaches 750V, the charging pile can no longer continue to charge the first battery pack and the second battery pack connected in series. The switching circuit 102 switches the first battery pack and the second battery pack from series to parallel. The voltage of the first battery pack and the second battery pack connected in parallel is 375V, which is lower than the charging voltage of the charging pile. The charging pile continues to charge the first battery pack and the second battery pack until they are fully charged.

[0096] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the loads include a motor, a DC-DC converter, a positive temperature coefficient heater (PTC), a hybrid condensing absorption chiller (HCAC), and the like. New energy vehicles may also be equipped with other loads (not shown in Figure 3). Considering the high current drawn by the motor, the PTC, and the HCAC during operation, fuse F3 can be installed on the positive output line of the motor, and fuse F4 can be installed on the positive output lines of the PTC and HCAC to protect the circuits.
