Solution Overview

Problem

The charging rate of new energy vehicle batteries is influenced by temperature, and existing methods for adjusting battery temperature during charging are inefficient, leading to prolonged charging times and suboptimal charging rates.

Innovation Solution

An adjustment method that involves an electronic apparatus receiving a message to adjust the battery temperature to a target range (25° C. to 40° C.) before the vehicle reaches a charging station, using thermal management systems and battery management systems to optimize temperature based on charging station conditions and battery state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If battery temperature is adjusted during charging, then charging rate is improved, but charging time is prolonged due to temperature adjustment delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging rateVSAvoidcharging time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary temperature adjustment before the vehicle arrives at the charging station by receiving advance charging information and pre-controlling the battery temperature to the optimal charging range. This preliminary action eliminates the need for temperature adjustment during charging, thereby resolving the contradiction between improving charging rate and reducing charging time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If battery temperature is adjusted to optimal range, then charging efficiency is increased, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging efficiencyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary temperature adjustment before the vehicle arrives at the charging station. By receiving advance charging information and pre-controlling the battery temperature, the system ensures optimal charging conditions are already in place, avoiding additional energy consumption during the charging process itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts battery temperature control parameters based on received charging information, including charging power requirements and expected charging duration. By changing temperature control parameters in advance according to specific charging scenarios, the system optimizes charging efficiency while minimizing energy consumption for temperature adjustment.
