[0047] Embodiment two

[0048] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a high-low voltage platform architecture control method provided by Embodiment Two of the present application. Based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the present application provides a high-low voltage platform architecture control method. As shown in Figure 5, the method includes:

[0049] S110, in response to the platform wake-up signal, control the low-voltage architecture system to power on.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the wake-up signal can be understood as a start instruction, wherein the wake-up signal can include a physical signal or an electronic signal transmitted through a network. The physical signal refers to a signal triggered by the action of a key or a switch. The electronic signal refers to a CAN network wake-up signal or a Real-Time Clock (RTC) wake-up signal. The role of the wake-up signal is to make the system transition from a sleep or standby state to a working state.

[0051] When the platform receives the wake-up signal, the low-voltage architecture system is triggered to perform a power-on operation to start the normal operation of the low-voltage architecture system. If the wake-up signal is valid, the low-voltage architecture system can perform the power-on operation. If the wake-up signal is invalid, the low-voltage architecture system cannot perform the power-on operation.

[0052] S120, detecting high-voltage environment information of the high-voltage architecture system according to the battery management system and the master control unit of the low-voltage architecture system.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the high-voltage environment information can be understood as a collection of various states and parameters related to high-voltage electricity in the high-voltage architecture system. The high-voltage environment information can include battery temperature or contactor state.

[0054] By integrating the battery management system and the master control unit in the low-voltage architecture system, comprehensive monitoring and detection of the high-voltage environment information in the high-voltage architecture system are realized. By monitoring and analyzing various states and parameters in the high-voltage architecture system through the battery management system and the master control unit, the safe and efficient operation of the electrical system is ensured.

[0055] S130, if the high-voltage environment information meets the preset power-on condition, control the high-voltage architecture system to power up the high-voltage.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the preset power-on condition can be understood as a standard that the system needs to meet before starting the high-voltage architecture system. Powering up the high-voltage can be understood as supplying power to the high-voltage components of the vehicle by the high-voltage battery after meeting the preset power-on condition.

[0057] The preset power-on condition refers to a standard that must be met before starting the high-voltage architecture system. When these conditions are met, it is considered that the high-voltage environment information meets the requirements, and the high-voltage architecture system can safely perform the high-voltage power-on operation.

[0058] When the high-low voltage platform architecture receives a valid wake-up signal in the embodiments of the present application, the low-voltage architecture system is woken up for power-on operation. After the power-on operation is completed, the battery management system and the master control unit integrated in the low-voltage architecture system comprehensively monitor and detect the high-voltage environment information in the high-voltage architecture system. When the detected high-voltage environment information meets the preset power-on condition, the high-voltage architecture system can safely perform the high-voltage operation. By monitoring and detecting the high-voltage environment information in the high-voltage architecture system, the embodiments of the present application can accurately determine whether the state of the high-voltage architecture system meets the power-on condition. When the high-voltage environment information meets the preset power-on condition, the high-voltage architecture system performs the high-voltage operation, thereby reducing the risk of high-voltage power supply failure and simplifying the inspection process of the high-low voltage platform architecture circuit.

[0059] Embodiment three

[0060] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another high-low voltage platform architecture control method provided by the third embodiment of the present application. Based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the third embodiment of the present application provides another high-low voltage platform architecture control method. As shown in FIG. 6, the method comprises:

[0061] S210, in response to a platform wake-up signal, controlling the low-voltage architecture system to power on.

[0062] S220, triggering the battery management system to perform system self-checking.

[0063] After the low-voltage architecture system successfully powers on, the battery management system is triggered to perform self-checking on a plurality of state parameters of the battery in the system. The battery management system monitors the plurality of state parameters of the battery in real time through the built-in sensor network, and analyzes and processes these parameters by using advanced algorithms and models to identify potential faults or abnormal conditions of the battery management system.

[0064] S230, determining that the battery management system self-checking is successful, detecting the contactor state of the loop contactor corresponding to the high-voltage load of the high-voltage architecture system through the master control unit, and taking the contactor state as the high-voltage environment information, wherein the loop contactor at least includes a pre-charge contactor and a main contactor.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, the loop contactor can be understood as an electrical element used to turn on or turn off the circuit in an electrical system; the pre-charge contactor is a special type of loop contactor, which is used to pre-charge the high-voltage load when the high-voltage architecture system is powered on again, so as to effectively protect the high-voltage load from damage caused by large current impact; the main contactor is one of the most important loop contactors in the high-voltage architecture system, which is responsible for controlling the main circuit connection between the high-voltage battery pack and the main high-voltage load. The closing and opening of the main contactor directly determines whether the high-voltage architecture system supplies power to the main load.

[0066] After the battery management system completes the system self-check, a signal is sent to the master control unit, which then judges the contactor state of all loop contactors, including at least the pre-charge contactor and the main contactor. The contactor state of all loop contactors is used as high-voltage environment information of the high-voltage architecture system. If the contactor state of all loop contactors is closed, it indicates that the high-voltage environment information meets the preset power-on condition. At this time, when the contactor state of all loop contactors is closed, it indicates that the high-voltage architecture system can perform high-voltage operation.

[0067] S240, feeding back the contactor state to the battery management system by the master control unit.

[0068] After the battery management system self-check is successful, the master control unit will continue to judge the contactor state of all loop contactors. When the contactor state of all loop contactors is closed, the master control unit will send the information that the contactor state is closed to the battery management system.

[0069] S250, judging by the master control unit whether the contactor state in the high-voltage environment information is the preset closed state configured in the preset power-on condition. If the contactor state is the preset closed state, a power-on control instruction is generated.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, the power-on control instruction can be understood as a command to guide the start of the high-voltage architecture system.

[0071] The master control unit monitors the high-voltage environment information and confirms that the contactor state contained in the high-voltage environment information is the preset closed state configured in the preset power-on condition. When the master control unit judges that the contactor state of all loop contactors in the high-low voltage platform architecture is closed, a power-on control instruction that can guide the high-voltage architecture system to perform high-voltage operation is generated. The loop contactor includes at least a pre-charge contactor and a main contactor. When the loop contactor needs to be closed, the closing sequence of the pre-charge contactor and the main contactor is to close the pre-charge contactor first and then close the main contactor. When the high-voltage load is stabilized, the pre-charge contactor is disconnected. When the loop contactor needs to be disconnected, the disconnection sequence of the pre-charge contactor and the main contactor is to disconnect the main contactor first and then disconnect the pre-charge contactor. Whether to disconnect the pre-charge contactor can be selected according to system design or safety requirements.

[0072] S260, receiving the power-on control instruction by the high-voltage power distribution system, and controlling the high-voltage battery to supply power to the high-voltage load when the power-on control instruction is received.

[0073] The master control unit sends the generated power-on control instruction to the high-voltage power distribution system, and when the high-voltage power distribution system receives the power-on control instruction, the high-voltage power distribution system controls the high-voltage battery to distribute and transmit the power required by the high-voltage load according to the power-on control instruction.

[0074] In the embodiment of the application, when the high-low voltage platform architecture receives a valid wake-up signal, the low-voltage architecture system is woken up for power-on operation. After the power-on operation is completed, the battery management system triggers self-checking of a plurality of state parameters of the battery in the system. After the battery management system completes the system self-checking, a signal is sent to the master control unit. The master control unit then judges the contactor state of all loop contactors. The master control unit generates a power-on control instruction according to the received information that the contactor state is in a closed state and sends the power-on control instruction to the battery management system. The battery management system sends the power-on control instruction to the high-voltage power distribution system. The high-voltage power distribution system controls the high-voltage battery to distribute and transmit the power required by the high-voltage load according to the power-on control instruction. In the embodiment of the application, the high voltage of the high-voltage architecture system is controlled by the low-voltage communication, so that the power-on process of the high-voltage architecture system is rationalized. When the preset power-on condition is met, the high-voltage architecture system will be powered up, thereby protecting the high-voltage components in the high-voltage architecture system.

[0075] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the application further includes: in response to a high-voltage lowering instruction, detecting, by the master control unit, a high-voltage use state of the high-voltage architecture system; determining that the high-voltage use state meets a preset power-off condition, and controlling the high-voltage architecture system to lower the high voltage. The high-voltage use state at least includes one of the following: the self-driving power supply state is in a disconnected state, the cleaning structure working state is in a stopped working state, the vehicle driving state is in a parking state, the battery fault state is in a fault state, and the high-voltage electric control system state is in a fault state, etc.

[0076] In the embodiment of the application, the high-voltage lowering instruction can be understood as a control instruction for indicating that the system needs to close the current high-voltage state. The high-voltage use state refers to the current working state of the high-voltage architecture system. The preset power-off condition can be understood as a standard that the system needs to reach before the high-voltage architecture system closes the current high-voltage state. The preset power-off condition can include: a normal preset power-off condition and an abnormal preset power-off condition. For example, the normal preset power-off condition can include: the self-driving power supply is disconnected, the cleaning structure is stopped working, or the vehicle is stationary and in a parking state. The abnormal preset power-off condition can include: a battery three-level fault or a high-voltage power distribution system three-level fault, wherein the three-level fault can represent that the degree of the fault state is a serious fault state.

[0077] After the high-low voltage platform architecture is powered on successfully, when the low voltage architecture system is controlled to perform a power-off operation by the high-low voltage platform architecture receiving a valid low voltage instruction, the master control unit detects that the current self-powered state of the high voltage architecture system is disconnected, the cleaning structure working state is stopped, the vehicle driving state is parked, the battery fault state is faulty, and the high voltage electric control system state is faulty, and other high voltage usage states, before the high voltage architecture system closes the current high voltage state, it is necessary to determine whether the high voltage usage state of the high voltage architecture system meets the standard for closing the high voltage state, that is, whether the preset power-off condition is met, when it is determined that the high voltage usage state meets the preset power-off condition, the master control unit controls the high voltage architecture system to perform a low voltage operation.

[0078] The embodiment of the application controls the high voltage architecture system to lower the high voltage through low voltage communication, so that the power-off process of the high voltage architecture system is rationalized, the high voltage architecture system performs a low voltage operation when the preset power-off condition is met, and high voltage components in the high voltage architecture system are protected, and the high voltage architecture system has a rationalized emergency measure and power-off process when a fault occurs in the low voltage process.

[0079] Embodiment four

[0080] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the application provides another high-low voltage platform architecture control method. The embodiment of the application respectively shows the power-on and power-off processes of the driving high voltage subsystem and the power-on and power-off processes of the function control high voltage subsystem.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 7, the power-on process of the driving high voltage subsystem is described, after the wake-up signal is valid, that is, after keyon / A+on, the wake-up CCU performs low voltage power-on, at this time, the electrical state of the high-low voltage platform architecture is normal, after the low voltage power-on is successful, the CCU wakes up the BMS, after the BMS is successfully woken up, it performs self-detection of the battery voltage, current and the like, after the BMS self-detection is successful, it reports the information to the master control unit, the CCU continues to judge the state of all loop contactors of the high-low voltage platform architecture to determine whether the high voltage condition is met, if the high voltage condition is met, then the master control unit sends a high voltage instruction to the BMS, after the BMS receives the high voltage instruction, it sends a high voltage contactor closing instruction to the HPDU, after the HPDU closes the high voltage contactor, it feeds back the information of the closed high voltage contactor to the BMS, after the BMS receives the information that the high voltage contactor has been completely closed, it performs a high voltage operation, after the high voltage operation is successful, the driving high voltage subsystem can normally work, at this time, the high voltage consumer can be logically enabled, if any contactor is not closed or is disconnected or any feedback state is lost or fails in this process, the driving high voltage subsystem fails to perform the high voltage operation, and the high-low voltage platform architecture reports a high voltage fault.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 8, the power-off process of the driving high-voltage subsystem is described, and it is assumed that the high-voltage of the driving high-voltage subsystem is successfully turned on. After the power-off control instruction is valid, the CCU judges whether the preset power-off condition is met. If the preset power-off condition is met, the CCU sends a "contactor open instruction" to each high-voltage consumer. After each high-voltage consumer feeds back that the contactor has been opened, the CCU sends a "high-voltage down instruction" to the BMS. After the BMS receives the "high-voltage down instruction", the high-voltage contactor is opened. Then, the CCU opens the wake-up signal of the high-voltage control system, the high-low voltage platform architecture enters a sleep state, the high-voltage power-off is completed, and if any contactor is not opened or any feedback state is lost or fails in the process, the high-voltage of the driving high-voltage subsystem fails, and the high-low voltage platform architecture reports a high-voltage fault.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 9, the power-on process of the function control high-voltage subsystem is described. When the CBCU receives a high-voltage on instruction, the CBCU judges whether the high-voltage on condition of the function control high-voltage subsystem is met. If the high-voltage on condition is met, the CBCU sends a contactor closing instruction to the HPDU in the function control high-voltage subsystem. After the HPDU feeds back that the contactor state is closed, the function control high-voltage subsystem is successfully turned on, and the high-voltage system uses the consumer according to the logic. If any contactor is not closed or any feedback state is lost or fails in the process, the function control high-voltage subsystem fails, and the high-low voltage platform architecture reports a high-voltage fault of the function control high-voltage subsystem.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 10, the power-off process of the function control high-voltage subsystem is described, and it is assumed that the high-voltage of the function control high-voltage subsystem is turned on. After the CBCU receives a high-voltage down instruction, the CBCU judges whether the high-voltage down condition is met. After the CBCU judges that the high-voltage down condition is met, the CBCU sends a contactor open instruction to each high-voltage component in the function control high-voltage subsystem. After the high-voltage component feeds back that the contactor is opened, the CBCU sends a "function control high-voltage subsystem high-voltage down instruction" to the HPDU. After the HPDU receives the "high-voltage down instruction", the HPDU cuts off the contactor in the function control high-voltage subsystem and feeds back that the contactor is opened. Then, the CBCU opens the wake-up signal of the high-voltage control system, and the function control high-voltage subsystem enters a sleep state. If any contactor is not opened or any feedback state is lost or fails in the process, the function control high-voltage subsystem fails, and the high-low voltage platform architecture reports a high-voltage fault. If the HPDU judges that a fault in the trigger fault list is triggered in the power-on process of the function control high-voltage subsystem, for example, a high-voltage component contactor sticking fault, the HPDU actively opens the high-voltage without sending a high-voltage down instruction.
