Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor should be within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0066] It should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments presented herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure complete and fully, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of layers and regions can be exaggerated for clarity throughout the drawings. The same reference numbers represent the same elements throughout the drawings.

[0067] It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on", "adjacent", "connected" or "coupled" to another element or layer, it can be directly on, adjacent, connected or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on", "directly adjacent", "directly connected", or "directly coupled" to another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section.

[0070] For a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, reference should be made to the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0071] The embodiment provides a switchable resistance network 21, which can be applied in a battery control circuit 2 as shown in FIG. 1. The battery control circuit 2 includes a capacitive load C1 and the switchable resistance network 21. The switchable resistance network 21 is arranged between the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1, and is used to form a pre-charging circuit, a heating circuit and a discharging circuit in cooperation with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1, so that the pre-charging circuit, the heating circuit and the discharging circuit can be realized by multiplexing the switchable resistance network 21, and the complexity and volume of the battery control circuit 2 are reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0072] As an example, the battery control circuit 2 can be applied in a battery system. The battery system includes the battery 1 and the battery control circuit 2. Preferably, the battery system is a battery system on a vehicle. The battery 1 is a power battery of the vehicle.

[0073] The embodiment provides a switchable resistance network 21, which includes a resistance network 211 and a switch assembly 212. A first end of the resistance network 211 is used to connect a positive electrode Bat+ of the battery 1, a second end of the resistance network 211 is used to connect the capacitive load C1, and a third end of the resistance network 211 is used to connect a negative electrode Bat- of the battery 1. The switch assembly 212 is connected with the resistance network 211, and is used to control the on-off of the resistance network 211 and the battery and / or the capacitive load C1.

[0074] In the embodiment, the on-off of the resistance network 211 and the battery and / or the capacitive load C1 is controlled, and then the switchable resistance network 21 is multiplexed, so that the switchable resistance network 21 forms the pre-charging circuit, the heating circuit and the discharging circuit in cooperation with the battery 1 and / or the capacitive load C1, the complexity and volume of the battery control circuit 2 are reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0075] The capacitive load C1 is a bus capacitor.

[0076] In an embodiment, the switch assembly 212 includes a first switch circuit 2121 and a second switch circuit 2122.

[0077] As an example, the first end of the resistance network 211 is used to connect the positive electrode Bat+ of the battery 1, and the second end of the resistance network 211 is connected with the first end of the first switch circuit 2121. The third end of the resistance network 211 is connected with the first end of the second switch circuit 2122. The second end of the first switch circuit 2121 is coupled to the negative electrode Bat- of the battery 1 and the first end of the capacitive load C1. The second end of the second switch circuit 2122 is connected with the second end of the capacitive load C1.

[0078] In the embodiment, by connecting the first end of the resistance network 211 to the positive pole Bat+ of the battery 1, connecting the second end of the resistance network 211 to the first end of the first switch circuit 2121, connecting the third end of the resistance network 211 to the first end of the second switch circuit 2122, coupling the second end of the first switch circuit 2121 to the negative pole Bat- of the battery 1 and the first end of the capacitive load C1, and connecting the second end of the second switch circuit 2122 to the second end of the capacitive load C1, the first switch circuit 2121 and / or the second switch circuit 2122 can be controlled to be turned on or turned off, thereby multiplexing the switchable resistance network 21, so that the switchable resistance network 21 cooperates with the battery 1 and / or the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging circuit, a heating circuit and a discharging circuit, reducing the complexity and volume of the battery control circuit 2 and reducing the cost.

[0079] Optionally, the resistance values of the resistance network 211 can be selected according to actual experience or requirements to adapt to the capacitive pre-charging time, heating temperature and capacitive discharging time in different application scenarios.

[0080] Optionally, the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122 can include contactors, relays or switch tubes. As a preferred embodiment, when the battery system is applied in a vehicle, the first switch circuit 2121 includes a first contactor and the second switch circuit 2122 includes a second contactor.

[0081] In an embodiment, when the first switch circuit 2121 is turned on, the resistance network 211 is used to cooperate with the battery 1 to form a heating circuit; when the second switch circuit 2122 is turned on, the resistance network 211 is used to cooperate with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging circuit; and when the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122 are both turned on, the resistance network 211 is also used to cooperate with the capacitive load C1 to form a discharging circuit.

[0082] As an example, in an application scenario, when the battery system is applied in a vehicle, the battery system further includes a main positive contactor K1 and a main negative contactor K2; the first end of the main positive contactor K1 is connected to the positive pole Bat+ of the battery 1 and the first end of the resistance network 211; the second end of the main positive contactor K1 is connected to the second end of the second switch circuit 2122 and the second end of the capacitive load C1; the first end of the main negative contactor K2 is connected to the negative pole Bat- of the battery 1, and the second end of the main negative contactor K2 is connected to the second end of the first switch circuit 2121 and the first end of the capacitive load C1.

[0083] As an example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the vehicle is powered on, the control main positive contactor K1 is turned off, the main negative contactor K2 is turned on, and the control second switch circuit 2122 is turned on, so that when the second switch circuit 2122 is turned on, the resistance network 211 cooperates with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging loop.

[0084] As another example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the temperature of the battery 1 is too low, the control first switch circuit 2121 is turned on, so that the resistance network 211 cooperates with the battery 1 to form a heating loop, and heat is generated through the resistance network 211 to warm up the battery 1. It should be noted that when the resistance network 211 cooperates with the battery 1 to form a heating loop, the vehicle can be in a process of pre-charging the capacitive load C1, for example, at this time the main positive contactor K1 is turned off, the main negative contactor K2 is turned on, and the second switch circuit 2122 is turned on; the vehicle can also be in a normal discharging process of the battery 1, for example, at this time the main positive contactor K1 is turned on, the main negative contactor K2 is turned on, and the second switch circuit 2122 is turned off. That is, the resistance network 211 can cooperate with the battery 1 to form a heating loop, and cooperate with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging loop.

[0085] As another example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the vehicle is powered off, the control main positive contactor K1 is turned off, the main negative contactor K2 is turned off, and the control first switch circuit 2121 and the control second switch circuit 2122 are turned on, so that when the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122 are turned on, the resistance network 211 cooperates with the capacitive load C1 to form a discharging loop, and the energy stored in the capacitive load C1 is consumed by the resistance network 211.

[0086] In this embodiment, by turning on the first switch circuit 2121 and turning on the main negative contactor K2, the resistance network 211 is used to cooperate with the battery 1 to form a heating loop; by turning on the second switch circuit 2122 and turning on the main negative contactor K2, the resistance network 211 is used to cooperate with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging loop; and by turning on the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122, the resistance network 211 is also used to cooperate with the capacitive load C1 to form a discharging loop, thereby realizing the multiplexing of the switchable resistance network 21, cooperating with the battery 1 and / or the capacitive load C1 to form a pre-charging loop, a heating loop and a discharging loop, reducing the complexity and volume of the battery control circuit 2, and reducing the cost.

[0087] In an embodiment, the resistance network 211 comprises a first resistance circuit 21A and a second resistance circuit 21B; the first resistance R1 and the second resistance circuit 21B are connected in series between the positive electrode Bat+ of the battery 1 and the first end of the first switch circuit 2121; the connection node between the first resistance R1 and the second resistance circuit 21B is connected to the first end of the second switch circuit 2122.

[0088] As an example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the vehicle is powered on, the main positive contactor K1 is controlled to be turned off, the main negative contactor K2 is controlled to be turned on, and the second switch circuit 2122 is controlled to be turned on, so that the first resistance circuit 21A forms a pre-charge circuit with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 when the second switch circuit 2122 is turned on.

[0089] As another example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the temperature of the battery 1 is too low, the first switch circuit 2121 is controlled to be turned on, so that the first resistance circuit 21A and the second resistance circuit 21B together form a heating circuit with the battery 1.

[0090] As another example, when the on-board controller in the vehicle detects that the vehicle is powered off, the main positive contactor K1 is controlled to be turned off, the main negative contactor K2 is controlled to be turned off, and the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122 are controlled to be turned on, so that the second resistance circuit 21B forms a pre-charge circuit with the battery 1 and the capacitive load C1 when the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122 are turned on, and the energy stored in the capacitive load C1 is consumed by the second resistance circuit 21B.

[0091] In the embodiment, by connecting the first resistance R1 and the second resistance circuit 21B in series between the positive electrode Bat+ of the battery 1 and the first end of the first switch circuit 2121, and connecting the connection node between the first resistance R1 and the second resistance circuit 21B to the first end of the second switch circuit 2122, a pre-charge circuit, a heating circuit and a discharge circuit are formed with the battery 1 and / or the capacitive load C1 by the first resistance circuit 21A, the second resistance circuit 21B, the first switch circuit 2121 and the second switch circuit 2122.

[0092] In an embodiment, the first resistance circuit 21A comprises a first resistance R1 and a third switch circuit 21A1; the first resistance R1 is connected in series or parallel with the third switch circuit 21A1.

[0093] Specifically, the first resistance R1 is connected in series or parallel between the first end and the second end of the first resistance circuit 21A.

[0094] As an example, the first resistor R1 is in series with the third switch circuit 21A1. When the on-board controller in the vehicle detects the power-on of the vehicle, the main negative contactor K2 is controlled to be on, the third switch circuit 21A1 is controlled to be on, and the second switch circuit 2122 is controlled to be on, so that the battery 1, the first resistor R1 and the capacitive load C1 form a pre-charge circuit. It should be noted that when the first resistor R1 is in parallel with other resistors in the first resistor circuit 21A, the first resistor R1 is disconnected from the first resistor circuit 21A by opening the third switch circuit 21A1, so as to adjust the overall resistance of the first resistor circuit 21A, thereby configuring the charging current or charging time of the pre-charge circuit. Further, there are multiple first resistors R1, and the multiple first resistors R1 are in series and / or in parallel. For example, the multiple first resistors R1 are in series with each other, or the multiple first resistors R1 are in parallel with each other; or, in the multiple first resistors R1, part of the first resistors R1 are in series, and the other part of the first resistors R1 are in parallel, and the part of the first resistors R1 in series and the other part of the first resistors R1 in parallel are in series with each other; or, in the multiple first resistors R1, part of the first resistors R1 are in series, and the other part of the first resistors R1 are in series, and the part of the first resistors R1 in series and the other part of the first resistors R1 in series are in parallel with each other. Among the multiple first resistors R1, part of the first resistors R1 can be in series or in parallel with a third switch circuit 21A1, or each first resistor R1 can be in series or in parallel with a third switch circuit 21A1. Thus, the overall resistance of the first resistor circuit 21A can be adjusted more flexibly.

[0095] As another example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first resistor R1 is in parallel with the third switch circuit 21A1. When the on-board controller in the vehicle detects the power-on of the vehicle, the main negative contactor K2 is controlled to be on, the third switch circuit 21A1 is controlled to be off, and the second switch circuit 2122 is controlled to be on, so that the battery 1, the first resistor R1 and the capacitive load C1 form a pre-charge circuit. It should be noted that when the third switch circuit 21A1 is on, the first resistor R1 can be bypassed, so that the second switch circuit 2122 can be used as a replacement element of the main positive contactor K1 when the main positive contactor K1 fails, to control the charging and discharging circuit of the battery 1 to be on or off.
