Battery heating system, battery heating method, electronic device and vehicle
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese application No. 2024104794140 filed on April 17, 2024, with the title of “Battery heating system, battery heating method, electronic device and vehicle”, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] With the rapid expansion of electric vehicles in the global automobile market, the charging speed of electric vehicles is one of the most important factors affecting user experience. Especially in low temperature environment, due to the influence of battery performance, the charging current is small, resulting in slow charging speed. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to improve the charging speed of electric vehicles in low temperature environment. In addition, the driving range of electric vehicles is also closely related to the battery temperature. The driving range of electric vehicles at low temperature is greatly discounted. For example, the battery capacity of lithium battery at 0℃ is only about 90% of the rated capacity of the battery; and once the battery temperature reaches-20℃, the battery capacity is only about 70% of the rated capacity. Therefore, if the battery of the electric vehicle works in the low temperature environment for a long time, it will cause serious battery capacity attenuation and charging and discharging capacity decline.

[0087] The second energy transmission circuit 400 is connected with the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220, and the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 can charge and discharge each other through the second energy transmission circuit 400. The first battery 100 can charge the second battery 200 to heat the second battery 200, and the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 can charge and discharge each other to realize self-heating. That is, the first sub-battery 210 can discharge through the second energy transmission circuit 400 to charge the second sub-battery 220 to heat the second sub-battery 220; the second sub-battery 220 can discharge through the second energy transmission circuit 400 to charge the first battery 100 to heat the first sub-battery 210, thereby realizing heating of the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220, that is, realizing self-heating of the second battery 200.

The battery heating system 10 of the application can also be applied to other electronic devices other than vehicles.
[0090] In the embodiment, the first energy transmission circuit 300 and the second energy transmission circuit 400 are both bidirectional DC-DC conversion circuits.

In other embodiments, the first energy transmission circuit 300 and the second energy transmission circuit 400 can each include a boost circuit and a direct connection circuit. The battery with lower voltage in the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 can charge the battery with higher voltage through the boost circuit, and the battery with higher voltage can charge the battery with lower voltage through the direct connection circuit, so that the mutual charging and discharging can be realized by controlling the conduction and disconnection of the boost circuit and the direct connection circuit. The first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 are the same.
[0091] Referring to FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the first energy transmission circuit 300 includes a first inductor L1 and a first bridge arm, and the first bridge arm includes an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm. The upper bridge arm is a switch tube Q1, and the lower bridge arm is a switch tube Q2.

The negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210 and the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220 are connected. Thus, by controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300 (i.e., controlling the conduction and disconnection of the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the first bridge arm), the second battery 200 can charge the first battery 100 to heat the first battery 100, or the first battery 100 can charge the second battery 200 to heat the second battery 200.
[0092] In other embodiments, the first energy transmission circuit 300 can include a plurality of first inductors L1 and a first bridge arm. The first ends of the plurality of first inductors L1 are each connected with the positive electrode of the first battery 100, and the second ends of the plurality of first inductors L1 are each connected with the midpoint of the first bridge arm. The first end of the first bridge arm is connected with the positive electrode of the first sub-battery 210, and the second end of the first bridge arm is connected with the negative electrode of the second sub-battery 220 and the negative electrode of the first battery 100.

[0095] The process of controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300 to charge the second battery 200 by the first battery 100 is described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. First, referring to FIG. 2, the upper bridge arm of the first bridge arm is turned on, and the lower bridge arm is turned off, and the current output by the second battery 200 flows into the first battery 100 through the switch tube Q1 and the first inductor L1 in sequence, the second battery 200 is discharged, the first battery 100 is charged, and the first inductor L1 is charged.

After the first battery 100 is heated, the upper and lower bridge arms of the first bridge arm can be controlled to be turned off to stop the first battery 100 from charging the second battery 200.
[0096] The process of controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300 to charge the first battery 100 by the second battery 200 is described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

By repeating the above process, the upper and lower bridge arms are turned on alternately, and the first battery 100 can be unidirectionally pulsed discharged by the second battery 200 through the boost circuit composed of the first inductor L1 and the first bridge arm, so that heat is generated by the internal resistance of the second battery 200, and the second battery 200 can be heated while being charged. After the second battery 200 is heated, the upper and lower bridge arms of the first bridge arm can be turned off to stop the second battery 200 from charging the first battery 100.
[0097] In the embodiment, the second energy transmission circuit 400 includes three second inductors L2, three second bridge arms, a first switch K1 and a second switch K2. Each second bridge arm includes an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm, the upper bridge arm being a switch tube Q3 and the lower bridge arm being a switch tube Q4. The first ends of the three second inductors L2 are connected to the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210, the second ends of the three second inductors L2 are connected to the middle points of the three second bridge arms respectively, the first ends of the three second bridge arms are connected to the positive electrode of the first sub-battery 210, and the second ends of the three second bridge arms are connected to the negative electrode of the second sub-battery 220, wherein the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210 and the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220 are connected. The first switch K1 is arranged between the first end of the second bridge arm and the positive electrode of the first sub-battery 210, and the second switch K2 is arranged between the second end of the second bridge arm and the negative electrode of the second sub-battery 220. In some other embodiments, the first switch K1 can also be arranged between the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210 and the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220 and the first end of the second inductor L2, that is, between the connection point of the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210, the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220 and the second inductor L2 and the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210. In some other embodiments, the second switch K2 can also be arranged between the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220 and the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210 and the first end of the second inductor L2, that is, between the connection point of the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220, the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210 and the second inductor L2 and the positive electrode of the second sub-battery 220.

Thus, by controlling the second energy transmission circuit 400 (that is, controlling the on-off of the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the second bridge arm, the first switch K1 and the second switch K2), the second battery 200 can charge the first battery 100 to heat the first battery 100, or the first battery 100 can charge the second battery 200 to heat the second battery 200.
[0098] In this embodiment, the second inductor L2 is the motor inductor, and the second bridge arm is the bridge arm in the motor controller. That is, the inductor in the motor and the bridge arm in the motor controller of the reused vehicle in this application serve as part of the second energy transmission circuit 400, eliminating the need for additional inductors and bridge arms, effectively reducing costs. In this embodiment, the second energy transmission circuit 400 also includes a third switch K3, through which the first end of the second inductor is connected to the negative electrode of the first sub-battery 210. Thus, when the motor is operating normally, the third switch K3 can be opened to prevent the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 from charging and discharging each other during this process.

[0102] The process of controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300 so that the second battery 200 charges the first battery 100 is described with reference to Figures 6-9. First, referring to Figure 6, the first switch K1 and the third switch K3 are controlled to be turned on, the second switch K2 is turned off, the upper arm of the second bridge arm is turned on, and the lower arm is turned off. The current output by the first sub-battery 210 flows into the second inductor L2 through the switch tube Q3, the first sub-battery 210 is discharged, and the second inductor L2 is charged. Then, referring to Figure 7, the first switch K1 is controlled to be turned off, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are controlled to be turned on, the lower arm of the second bridge arm is turned on, and the upper arm is turned off. The current output by the second inductor L2 flows into the second sub-battery 220, the second inductor L2 is discharged, and the second sub-battery 220 is charged. Then, Referring to FIG8 , the first switch K1 is controlled to be off, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are controlled to be on, the lower arm of the second bridge arm is controlled to be on, and the upper arm of the second bridge arm is controlled to be off. The duty cycle of the switch Q4 is adjusted so that the current output by the second sub-battery 220 flows into the second inductor L2, discharging the second sub-battery 220 and charging the second inductor L2. Then, referring to FIG9 , the first switch K1 and the third switch K3 are controlled to be on, the second switch K2 is controlled to be off, the upper arm of the second bridge arm is controlled to be on, and the lower arm of the second bridge arm is controlled to be off. The current output by the second inductor L2 flows into the first sub-battery 210, discharging the second inductor L2 and charging the first sub-battery 210. Repeating the above process can cause the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 to charge and discharge each other, forming an oscillating current. Due to the internal resistance of the batteries, the current flowing through the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 generates heat, thereby achieving the purpose of self-heating of the second sub-battery 200. After the second battery 200 is heated, the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the second bridge arm can be controlled to be disconnected, so that the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 stop charging and discharging each other.
[0103] In this embodiment, the battery heating system 10 further includes a load 500 , and two ends of the load 500 are respectively connected to two ends of the second battery 200 . The second battery 200 can supply power to the load 500 to enable it to operate.
[0104] In this embodiment, the battery heating system 10 further includes a switch K4 and a switch K5. The first end of the switch K4 is connected to the positive electrode of the first battery 100, and the second end of the switch K4 is used to connect to the positive output terminal of the charging pile 600 (for example, the second end of the switch K4 can be connected to the positive terminal of the charging port on the vehicle). The first end of the switch K5 is connected to the positive electrode of the first sub-battery 210, and the second end of the switch K5 is used to connect to the positive output terminal of the charging pile 600 (for example, the second end of the switch K5 can be connected to the positive terminal of the charging port on the vehicle). The negative electrode of the first battery 100 and the negative electrode of the second sub-battery 220 are both used to connect to the negative output terminal of the charging pile 600 (for example, the negative electrode of the first battery 100 and the negative electrode of the second sub-battery 220 can be connected to the negative terminal of the charging port on the vehicle). Thus, when the switch K4 is closed, the charging pile 600 can charge the first battery 100, and when the switch K5 is closed, the charging pile 600 can charge the second battery 200.

For example, the temperatures of the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 can be detected by temperature sensors provided on the first battery 100 and the second battery 200. When the temperature of either the first battery 100 or the second battery 200 is lower than a set temperature threshold, it is determined that there is a need for heating.

Both the charging of the second battery 200 by the first battery 100 and the mutual charging and discharging of the first sub-battery 210 and the second sub-battery 220 can generate heat through the internal resistance of the second battery 200, thereby heating the second battery 200.
[0113] According to the battery heating method of this embodiment, multiple heating modes are provided. In particular, when the second battery 200 needs to be heated, two independent heating modes are provided. The two heating modes can be redundant to each other to effectively meet the heating needs of the second battery 200.

[0116] Specifically, whether the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 need to be heated is determined separately. For example, the temperature of the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 can be detected by temperature sensors installed on the first battery 100 and the second battery 200. When the temperature of either the first battery 100 or the second battery 200 is lower than a set temperature threshold, it is determined that it needs to be heated. The temperature of the second battery 200 can refer to the temperature of the first sub-battery pack 210 and the second sub-battery pack 220 as a whole, or it can refer to the temperature of each of the first sub-battery pack 210 and the second sub-battery pack 220.

In this embodiment, the first energy transmission circuit 300 is controlled to enable the second battery 200 to charge the first battery 100 only when the first and second batteries 100 meet the first preset heating condition. This effectively prevents overcharging of the first battery 100 and over-discharging of the second battery 200, thereby ensuring the safety of the first battery 100 during the heating process.
[0121] S212: When controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300 to enable the second battery 200 to charge the first battery 100, determine whether the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 meet a first heating exit condition.

[0123] S213 : When the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 meet the first heating exit condition, the first energy transmission circuit 300 is controlled to enable the second battery 200 to stop charging the first battery 100 .

In this embodiment, the second energy transmission circuit 400 is controlled to enable the first battery 100 to charge the second battery 200 only when the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 meet the second preset heating condition, which can effectively avoid over-charge of the second battery 200 and over-discharge of the first battery 100, thereby ensuring the safety of the second battery 200 during heating.
[0129] S222: When the first battery 100 charges the second battery 200 by controlling the first energy transmission circuit 300, it is determined whether the first battery 100 and the second battery 200 meet the second heating exit condition.
[0130] Specifically, the second heating exit condition can be a condition corresponding to completion of heating of the second battery 200, or a condition corresponding to existence of a safety risk of the first battery 100 and the second battery 200. In the embodiment, the second heating exit condition includes: the temperature of the second battery 200 reaching a second temperature threshold (i.e., a temperature threshold when the second battery 200 completes heating); or the remaining power of the first battery 100 reaching a third power threshold (at this time, the first battery 100 exists over-discharge risk); or the remaining power of the second battery 200 reaching a fourth power threshold (at this time, the second battery 200 exists over-charge risk); or the current voltage of the first battery 100 reaching a third voltage threshold (at this time, the first battery 100 exists over-discharge risk); or the current voltage of the second battery 200 reaching a fourth voltage threshold (at this time, the second battery 200 exists over-charge risk).
