[0003] Description

[0004] High-voltage electrical system for a vehicle

[0005] The invention relates to a high-voltage electrical system, HV electrical system, for a vehicle.

[0006] High-voltage electrical systems for electric vehicles, especially for purely electric vehicles, incorporate EMC filtering devices to comply with EMC requirements during DC charging. This means that sufficient interference suppression is not relied upon at the charging station itself.

[0007] Such an EMC filter device is, for example, located in a DC charging current path that connects a vehicle charging port to a traction battery. However, during a charging process that does not have complete galvanic isolation, or generally in the case of faulty insulation or grounding during charging, these EMC filter devices can cause a voltage to exist between the vehicle's ground or chassis potential and the ground potential of the charging current source, which can be dangerous for a person.

[0008] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a high-voltage electrical system for a vehicle that contributes to improving the high-voltage safety of the high-voltage electrical system, which has a charging port for DC charging and AC charging.

[0009] The problem is solved by the features of the independent patent claims. Advantageous embodiments are characterized in the dependent claims.

[0010] The problem is solved by a high-voltage electrical system (HV electrical system) for a vehicle, comprising a charging port, an AC charging device (charging device), a high-voltage battery (HV battery), a connection arrangement and a discharge device with an EMC filter.

[0011] The charging port is designed to electrically connect the high-voltage vehicle electrical system to an external power source. Preferably, the charging port is designed for both AC and DC charging. Therefore, either an AC or a DC charging source can be connected to the charging port. 202401280

[0012] 2

[0013] The connection arrangement comprises a plurality of connection paths, each having a controllable isolating device, and is configured to electrically connect the charging port to the charging device and the charging device to the high-voltage battery in an AC charging mode of the high-voltage electrical system, and to connect the charging port to the high-voltage battery in a DC charging mode of the high-voltage electrical system. Preferably, in the DC charging mode, the connection arrangement is configured to connect the charging port directly to a first terminal of the EMC filter without any intermediate isolating devices, and to connect a second terminal of the EMC filter to the high-voltage battery via controllable isolating devices. The controllable isolating devices preferably each comprise a controllable contactor or a controllable relay.If the connection paths are DC high-voltage paths, the isolation devices preferably comprise controllable contactors. If, on the other hand, they are AC transmission paths, the isolation devices preferably each comprise a controllable relay.

[0014] The discharge device comprises the EMC filter and a discharge path in which a controllable discharge isolation device is arranged.

[0015] The discharge isolation device includes, for example, a switch, in particular a bidirectional blocking semiconductor switch.

[0016] The EMC filter features a first Cy capacitor and a second Cy capacitor. Cy capacitors are capacitors that divert an interference signal of a DC voltage potential to a reference potential such as ground, whereby the DC voltage potential is electrically isolated from the ground potential.

[0017] The first Cy capacitor is arranged in a first branch, the first terminal of which is connected to one of the connection paths of the connection arrangement, which is configured to carry a first high-voltage potential from the charging terminal to the HV battery. The second Cy capacitor is arranged in a second branch, the first terminal of which is connected to one of the connection paths of the connection arrangement, which is configured to carry a second high-voltage potential from the charging terminal to the HV battery. 202401280

[0018] 3. The first branch and the second branch are connected in series via a connecting node.

[0019] The leakage disconnect device is located in the leakage path, and the leakage path connects the connection node to a reference potential of the vehicle, in particular to a ground potential or chassis potential of the vehicle. The leakage path thus forms a switchable connection between the connection node and the vehicle's ground potential. This allows the connection of the respective Cy capacitors to ground potential to be disconnected, thereby suppressing the flow of any touch voltage.

[0020] A filter element, a fuse or a current limiting resistor may be arranged in the leakage path, or the leakage path may be provided as a direct (switchable) connection.

[0021] The discharge device has a control unit, or a control unit is associated with the discharge device. The control unit is configured to detect a DC charging mode and, if a DC charging mode is detected, to directly or indirectly control the discharge disconnect device during the DC charging mode so that the discharge disconnect device is in a closed state, and if no DC charging mode is detected, to directly or indirectly control the discharge disconnect device so that it is in an open state. The control unit may be part of a control unit of the high-voltage electrical system or another higher-level control unit.

[0022] The high-voltage electrical system's discharge device ensures that, in vehicles using a single charging input for both DC and AC charging, the EMC filter can provide sufficient interference suppression during DC battery charging. Opening the discharge isolator before AC charging eliminates any touch current contribution from the Y-capacitor of the DC charging EMC filter when the protective conductor is interrupted. This allows for simple and cost-effective compliance with the touch current thresholds according to ISO 5474-2 for the bidirectional on-board charger (BOBC).

[0023] The discharge device can be used particularly advantageously in conjunction with the special control of the discharge isolation device when the EMC filter 202401280

[0024] 4. Directly, i.e., without intermediate components and / or with short cable lengths, at the charging port. In this case, the filtering effect and thus the interference suppression are optimal. The discharge isolation device ensures that the required high-voltage safety with regard to touch protection at the charging port can still be maintained, especially if, for example, an interruption of the protective conductor occurs, e.g., due to improper installation of an AC charging socket. The connection node can be selectively isolated from the ground potential, for example during AC charging, in order to prevent a dangerous touch current in the event of faulty insulation or grounding of the charging current source.

[0025] The connection arrangement preferably includes a further control unit, or a further control unit is assigned to the connection arrangement, which is configured to control the respective isolating devices depending on an operating mode of the high-voltage electrical system. The control unit of the isolating device and the further control unit of the connection arrangement can be formed by a single control unit or be different control units.

[0026] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the control unit is configured to receive a measurement signal or measurement data that is / are representative of a voltage at the charging port, and to detect a DC charging operating mode depending on the received measurement signal or measurement data.

[0027] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the control unit is configured to receive a communication signal or communication data which includes information that an energy source providing a DC charging voltage is connected to the charging port.

[0028] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the control unit is configured to control the discharge isolation device such that the discharge isolation device is in an open state within a predetermined time period after the DC charging mode has ended, wherein the predetermined time period is less than five seconds, two seconds, or one second. 202401280

[0029] 5

[0030] In at least one advantageous embodiment, an ohmic resistor and / or a fuse and / or a filter element is arranged in the first branch and / or the second branch to limit a flowing current.

[0031] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the EMC filter comprises at least one further first Cy capacitor and at least one further second Cy capacitor. The at least one further first Cy capacitor is arranged in a further first branch, the first terminal of which is connected to the connection path configured to carry the first high-voltage potential from the charging terminal to the HV battery. The at least one further second Cy capacitor is arranged in a further second branch, the first terminal of which is connected to the connection path configured to carry the second high-voltage potential from the charging terminal to the HV battery. The at least one further first branch and the at least one further second branch are each connected in series via the connection node.

[0032] The Cy capacitors of the EMC filter are preferably dedicated filter components, but can also be configured as parasitic capacitors. The Cy capacitors can be configured as individual capacitor components or as a capacitor circuit.

[0033] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the charging device is bidirectional. The device is thus further configured to convert a DC voltage supplied by the HV battery into an AC voltage. The charging port is designed to be connected to an external load. The connection arrangement is designed to electrically connect the charging port to the charging device and the charging device to the HV battery in a regenerative operating mode of the high-voltage electrical system, in which energy is transferred from the HV battery to the external load. In this application in particular, the grounding device enables compliance with specified high-voltage safety requirements, e.g., according to ISO 5474-2, for protection against electric shock, even in a regenerative operating mode of the HV electrical system.

[0034] In at least one advantageous embodiment, the EMC filter is directly connected to the charging port. 202401280

[0036] Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawings. The description of the items mentioned here is not limited to the individual specific embodiments.

[0037] Features of different embodiments can be combined – where technically feasible – to form further embodiments. For example, variations or modifications described with regard to one embodiment may also be applicable to other embodiments, unless otherwise stated.

[0038] Figure 1 shows an exemplary block diagram of an embodiment of a high-voltage electrical system (HV electrical system) for a vehicle,

[0039] Figure 2 shows an exemplary equivalent circuit diagram of another embodiment of a leakage device and

[0040] Figure 3 shows an exemplary block diagram of another embodiment of an HV electrical system.

[0041] In the figures, the same reference symbols are used for elements with essentially the same function; however, these elements do not have to be identical in every detail.

[0042] It should be noted that when an element is described as "connected" or "coupled" to another element, the element may be directly connected or coupled to the other element, or intermediate elements may exist. Conversely, when an element is described as "directly" "connected" or "coupled" to another element, no intermediate elements exist. Other expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted similarly (e.g., "between" versus "directly between," "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent," etc.).

[0043] Figure 1 shows an exemplary block diagram of an embodiment of a high-voltage on-board network (HV-Bordz) HV-BN for a vehicle and an external energy source SE connected to the HV-Bordz HV-BN.

[0044] The electric vehicle is preferably a purely battery-powered vehicle (Battery Electric Vehicle, BEV) that is exclusively powered by a 202401280

[0045] 7

[0046] It has an electric motor. The term "electric vehicle" here refers not only to motor vehicles, but to all electrically powered vehicles, such as industrial trucks or forklifts.

[0047] The HV-BN electrical system comprises a charging port CP, a charging device OBC, a discharge device DS, a high-voltage battery (HV battery) HV-BAT, and a connection assembly. The connection assembly includes a first high-voltage connection, an AC connection, and a second high-voltage connection.

[0048] The external energy source (SE) is, for example, an external vehicle charging station or charging point. However, the external energy source (SE) can also be a mobile energy source, such as another electric vehicle.

[0049] The external power source SE is configured to supply electricity to the electric vehicle. Specifically, the external power source SE is configured to provide at least one AC charging mode and / or at least one DC charging mode. In AC charging mode, the external power source SE provides an alternating current which is converted into a corresponding DC charging current by the electric vehicle's charging device, also known as the on-board charger (OBC).

[0050] In at least one DC charging mode, the external power source SE provides a direct current. In this DC charging mode, the external power source SE is specifically designed to set and maintain charging parameters, particularly charging current and voltage, as required or desired for charging the connected vehicle. The corresponding external power source SE is then responsible for maintaining these charging parameters.

[0051] The external power source SE is, for example, designed to perform AC charging and / or DC charging in accordance with the North American Charging Standard (SAE J3400). This means that the external power source SE is designed to meet the general physical, electrical, functional, safety, and performance requirements of the North American Charging Standard (SAE J3400) for conductive power transfer to the electric vehicle using a hand-plug connector and either 202401280

[0052] 8

[0053] To transmit direct current or single-phase alternating current using two current-carrying contacts.

[0054] The charging port CP of the HV-BN electrical system comprises a first charging port CP1 and a second charging port CP2. The HV-BAT battery has a first battery connection A1 and a second battery connection A2. The OBC charging device comprises a first AC connection AC1 and a second AC connection AC2. Furthermore, the OBC charging device comprises a first DC connection DC1 and a second DC connection DC2.

[0055] The discharge device DS incorporates an EMC filter (electromagnetic compatibility filter). The first high-voltage connection links the charging port CP to the high-voltage battery HV-BAT via the EMC filter. This first high-voltage connection includes a first connection path L1, which connects the first charging port CP1 to the first battery port A1.

[0056] The first connection path L1 is configured to conduct a first high-voltage potential HV+ from the charging terminal CP, specifically from the first charging terminal CP1, to the high-voltage battery HV-BAT. Furthermore, the first high-voltage connection has a second connection path L2, which connects the second charging terminal CP2 to the second battery terminal A2. The second connection path L2 is configured to conduct a second high-voltage potential HV- from the charging terminal CP, specifically from the second charging terminal CP2, to the high-voltage battery HV-BAT.

[0057] In the first connection path L1, for example, a controllable first disconnect device IS1 and a controllable third disconnect device IS3 are arranged. In the second connection path L2, for example, a controllable second disconnect device IS2 and a controllable fourth disconnect device IS4 are arranged.

[0058] The first and second disconnect devices IS1 and IS2, for example, are the DC charging contactors of the high-voltage electrical system HV-BN, which are closed when the high-voltage electrical system HV-BN is connected to, for example, an external DC charging source. This allows the charging terminal CP to be connected to the high-voltage battery HV-BAT on all poles and to be disconnected from the high-voltage battery HV-BAT on all poles. 202401280

[0059] 9

[0060] The third and fourth disconnect devices, IS3 and IS4, are, for example, the high-voltage battery contactors. These contactors are used for disconnecting / connecting, in particular for the all-pole disconnection / connection of the high-voltage battery HV-BAT from / to the high-voltage electrical system HV-BN, especially from / to the loads (motor and / or high-voltage auxiliary units HV-AUX) of the HV-BN electrical system. This makes it possible to disconnect the high-voltage battery HV-BAT all-pole from all consumers of the HV-BN electrical system, the charging device OBC, and the charging port CP.

[0061] The EMC filter of the leakage device comprises at least one first Cy capacitor CY1 and at least one second Cy capacitor CY2. Furthermore, the leakage device DS includes a controllable leakage isolation device DS_IS.

[0062] Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the DS discharge device, in which the EMC filter has only one first and one second Cy capacitor CY1, CY2. The first Cy capacitor CY1 is arranged in a first branch, with a first terminal of the first branch connected to the first connection path L1 and a second terminal of the first branch connected to a connection node V, which is connected to a first terminal of the DS_IS discharge isolator.

[0063] The second Cy capacitor CY2 is arranged in a second branch, with a first terminal of the second branch connected to the second connection path L2. A second terminal of the second branch is also connected to the connection node V, which is connected to the first terminal of the leakage isolator DSJS.

[0064] A second connection of the DS_IS disconnect device is connected to a reference potential of the electric vehicle, preferably to a ground potential or chassis potential of the vehicle.

[0065] Current limiting elements may be arranged in the first and / or second branch. The EMC filter may have a plurality of first Cy capacitors Cy1, Cy1a and second Cy capacitors Cy2, Cy2a. The EMC filter may also have further filter components, for example, inductive filter components Ind, and / or be multi-stage. 202401280

[0066] 10

[0067] Figure 2 shows an exemplary equivalent circuit diagram of another embodiment of the DS discharge device. In this case, the EMC filter has at least one additional first Cy capacitor Cy1a. The additional first Cy capacitors Cy1a are each arranged in a further first branch. These additional first branches are, for example, each connected at their first terminal to the first connection path L1 and at their second terminal to the connection node V.

[0068] Furthermore, the EMC filter has at least one additional second Cy capacitor, Cy2a. These additional second Cy capacitors, Cy2a, are each arranged in a further second branch. These further second branches are each connected, for example, with their first terminal to the second connection path L2 and with their second terminal to the connection node V.

[0069] The EMC filter in Figure 2, for example, has a ferrite ring core as its inductive element Ind, through which the first connection path L1 and the second connection path L2 are passed.

[0070] Current limiting elements can be arranged in the further first and second branches. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the further first branches and the further second branches comprise an ohmic resistor.

[0071] The DS_IS leakage isolator is designed, for example, as a semiconductor switch. Specifically, the DS_IS leakage isolator is designed as a bidirectional blocking semiconductor switch. This can be achieved either by using a single bidirectional blocking transistor element or by using two transistor elements connected in anti-series. Anti-series in this context means that the forward bias directions of the two transistor elements are opposite to each other and that the two transistor elements are connected in series. The semiconductor switch can thus have two transistor elements connected in series, and in particular, be designed as MOSFETs. The transistor elements are oriented in opposite directions to each other. The two series-connected transistor elements each have an inverse diode. The forward bias directions of the inverse diodes are opposite to each other. In this way, when open, 202401280

[0072] 11

[0073] Transistor elements always control the current flow across the entire semiconductor switch, with one of the transistor elements controlling the current flow.

[0074] Alternatively, the leakage disconnect device can include a relay.

[0075] The charging device OBC (Figure 1) includes a voltage converter, which in particular comprises a filter for smoothing an AC voltage and a power factor correction (PFC) filter. The voltage converter can be supplied with the AC voltage. Furthermore, the charging device OBC includes, for example, a first DC / DC converter and a second DC / DC converter. The two DC / DC converters are designed to be insulated. The voltage converter and the DC / DC converters are bidirectional. This means that the charging device OBC is designed to receive energy from the external power source SE and forward at least some of it to the high-voltage battery HV-BAT, and conversely, to receive energy from the high-voltage battery HV-BAT and forward at least some of it to an external load connected to the charging terminal CP.

[0076] The AC connection of the connection arrangement comprises a first AC connection path AC-L1 and a second AC connection path AC-L2. The first AC connection path AC-L1 connects the first charging terminal CP1 to the first AC terminal AC1 of the charging device OBC. The second AC connection path AC-L2 connects the second charging terminal CP2 to the second AC terminal AC2 of the charging device OBC. A controllable disconnect device IS5, IS6 is preferably arranged in each of the first and second AC connection paths AC-L1 and AC-L2. These controllable disconnect devices IS5 and IS6 can each comprise a relay or be formed by a relay.

[0077] A first connection node K1 is arranged between the first disconnecting device IS1 and the third disconnecting device IS3, and the third connection path L3 is connected to the first connection path L1 via the first connection node K1. Furthermore, a second connection node K2 is arranged between the second disconnecting device IS2 and the fourth disconnecting device IS4, and the fourth connection path L4 is connected to the second connection path L2 via a second connection node K2. 202401280

[0078] 12

[0079] The second high-voltage connection connects the DC terminal of the charging device OBC to the first and second connection nodes K1 and K2. In particular, the third high-voltage path L3 connects the first DC terminal DC1 of the charging device OBC to the first connection node K1, and the fourth high-voltage path L4 connects the second DC terminal DC2 to the second connection node K2.

[0080] In the case of the controllable disconnect devices IS1, ... IS6 and the controllable grounding disconnect device DS_IS, one switching state in particular is controllable. The switching state of the grounding disconnect device DS_IS is controlled by a first control unit (not shown in Figure 1). For this purpose, the grounding device DS can include the first control unit. Alternatively, the first control unit can be assigned to the grounding device DS and / or be part of a higher-level second control unit.

[0081] The first control unit is designed to detect a DC charging mode and, if a DC charging mode is detected, to directly or indirectly control the DSJS isolating device during the DC charging mode such that the DS_IS isolating device is in a closed state, and if no DC charging mode is detected, to directly or indirectly control the DS_IS isolating device such that the IS_DS is in an open state.

[0082] The first control unit is specifically designed to control the DSJS isolating device such that the DSJS isolating device is in an open state within a predetermined time period after the DC charging mode has ended, where the predetermined time period is less than five seconds, two seconds, or one second. For this purpose, one or more outputs of the first control unit can be connected directly or indirectly to the DSJS isolating device, for example, via circuit drivers.

[0083] The first control unit is specifically configured to receive a measurement signal or measurement data from a voltage sensor V_sens, which is configured to measure a voltage between the first connection path L1 and the second connection path L2. Depending on the received measurement signal or measurement data, the first control unit is configured to detect a DC charging operating mode. 202401280

[0084] 13

[0085] Alternatively or additionally, the first control unit is configured to receive a communication signal or communication data from a charging port controller (CPC). This communication signal or data includes information indicating that an external energy source (SE) is connected to the charging port (CP) and that the external energy source (SE) is providing a DC charging voltage.

[0086] The connection arrangement preferably comprises a further control unit, or a further control unit is assigned to the connection arrangement, which is configured to control the respective isolating devices IS1, ... IS6 of the connection arrangement depending on an operating mode of the HV-BN electrical system. The first control unit and the further control unit can be formed by one control unit or be different control units.

[0087] A high-voltage nominal voltage is provided between the first connection path L1 and the second connection path L2, and between the third connection path L3 and the fourth connection path. This voltage is preferably more than 60 volts and preferably at least 200 volts, 400 volts, or 800 volts. Furthermore, within the respective high-voltage electrical system HV-BN, insulation is provided between the two high-voltage potentials HV+ and HV- on the one hand, and the ground potential connection on the other. The high-voltage electrical system HV-BN may also provide a grounding connection PE for connection to a ground potential or may itself be a ground potential. The ground potential belongs, in particular, to an external energy source, for example, the ground potential of a local or public power grid.

[0088] Figure 3 shows an exemplary block diagram of another embodiment of a high-voltage electrical system (HV-BN) of an electric vehicle.

[0089] The HV-Bordz HV-BN, analogous to the HV-Bordz HV-BN shown in Figure 1, has a charging port CP, a charging device OBC, an HV accumulator HV-BAT, and a discharge device DS. The HV-Bordz HV-BN shown in Figure 3 differs from the HV-Bordz HV-BN shown in Figure 1, in particular, by its differently designed connection arrangement.

[0091] 14 can be switched together, thus enabling a plurality of operating states of the HV battery HV-BAT, for example an 800-volt charging mode and a 400-volt charging mode and / or a 400-volt driving mode and / or an 800-volt driving mode.

[0092] In contrast to the connection arrangement shown in Figure 1, in the connection arrangement according to Figure 3 the third disconnecting device IS3 is arranged in the third high-voltage pad L3 and the fourth disconnecting device IS4 is arranged in the fourth high-voltage path L4.
