Embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing, embodiments of the invention are described now, it is according to the device of the internal electric state that is used to detect in-vehicle secondary battery.
First embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing 1-5, the first embodiment of the present invention is described now.In this embodiment, checkout gear according to the present invention is embodied as SOC (charged state) calculation element that is used for in-vehicle secondary battery.
Accompanying drawing 1 shows the block diagram of SOC calculation element 1.
SOC calculation element 1 is installed in the vehicle; And this device 1 is electrically connected to car internal storage system (referring to battery (rechargeable or storage battery) here), generator 102 (AC generator, i.e. alternating current generator in the car) and be installed in the electrical load 103 in the vehicle in the car that driven by the vehicle motor (not shown).Generator 102 is processed the magnet exciting coil generator.Give electrical load 103 power supplies by battery 101.
Battery 101 is storage batterys that lead-acid battery, Ni-MH battery or lithium battery are formed.The storage battery of any kind all is suitable for present embodiment, but in the present embodiment, vehicle adopts lead-acid battery.
SOC calculation element 1 comprises the current sensor 104 and store status detector 105 of the charge/discharge current that detects inflow/outflow battery 101.Wherein, current sensor 104 outputs are as the detection electric current of digital signal.Store status detector 105 is an electric device, and it is configured to the information of the internal electric state of represents battery 101, like SOC.
Store status detector 105 comprises buffer 106; Through buffer 106 the voltage and current signal is inputed to store status detector 105; Also comprise processor 107, it carries out various calculating as the important computations parts in the SOC calculation element 1 according to the polarization that battery 101 inside cause.
SOC calculation element 1 also is electrically connected to ECU (electronic control unit) 108, and this ECU108 is electrically connected with generator control unit 109.Based on processor 107 SOC that provides and the various fragments that comprise the information INFve of engine condition, the speed of a motor vehicle and generator revolution, ECU108 is responsible for calculating the energy output that is produced by generator 102.
Generator control unit 109 is used to control the output of generator 102.Just, generator control unit 109 imposes on the exciting current of generator 102 with feedback system control, and the voltage that makes battery 101 is zero with difference between the given regulation voltage set.Therefore, the voltage of battery 101 is controlled as given regulation voltage.In addition, generator control unit 109 provides control signal according to the energy output that ECU108 calculates to generator 102, and this control signal makes generator responds generate electricity in the aim parameter of control signal indication.
In the practice, in store status detector 105, realize through software on buffer 106 and processor 107 functions that this software is calculated by the microcomputer that is incorporated into store status detector 105.Certainly, the replaceable structure of store status detector 105 is to adopt dedicated computing hardware circuit or the alternate manner that is provided by logical circuit.
The paired data that buffer 106 is configured to sample at set intervals and the electric current I that keeps voltage V and current sensor 104 by battery 101 to detect is formed.Detail like hereinafter, processor 107 comes the SOC of counting cell 101 as input parameter through the paired data (voltage V and electric current I) that utilizes buffer 106 to provide.
< constant voltage charge control >
With reference to accompanying drawing 2, the operation of the constant voltage charge control that belongs to the present embodiment characteristic is detailed.
Accompanying drawing 2 shows the subprogram of expression constant voltage charge control, and it repeats through store status detector 105, and in practice, processor 107 repeats with predetermined short time interval.This subprogram is by unshowned main program or hypervisor control, and this main program or hypervisor are also carried out by store status detector 105.Expect or predetermined this subprogram of moment activation in response to the starting of engine or during vehicle '.
When being used for the subprogram starting of constant voltage charge control, processor 107 for example utilizes mark check to confirm that whether constant voltage charge control is at present in operation (step S1).If confirm the result for being (in operation), program advances to step S2, and if confirm that the result is not (off-duty), program advances to step S3, starts constant voltage charge here and controls permanent width of cloth voltage is applied to battery 101.By way of parenthesis, carry out this constant voltage charge control, the generating of control generator 102 (alternating current generator) is a constant voltage with the voltage of keeping battery 101.
In addition, execution in step S1 comprises whether inspection exists unexpected connection or the disconnection or because the unexpected variation of the generating voltage of the generator 102 that the unexpected variation of engine speed (speed of generator rotation) causes of load.When in step S1, confirming to have so unexpected variation, even controlling to so far, constant voltage charge moving, still suppose the present and off-duty of constant voltage charge control.In this case, program advances to step S4.This supposition is handled and is considered because the caused delay of time constant in the exciting current of control generator 102.By the way, when this unexpected variation takes place for energy output and loading condition, preferably suspend the constant voltage charge control shown in the accompanying drawing 2, through one preset time section restart again later on.
In step S2, processor 107 is read the charging current Icv that flows to battery 101.The polarized state amount) and its difference DELTA P in step S4, the charging current Icv that processor 107 utilization is read in calculates polarization correlative P (as the physical quantity of expression polarized state:.In the present embodiment, calculate polarization correlative P according to following formula (1):
Pn=Pn-1+In*dt-1/T*Pn-1*dt...(1)
T express time constant wherein, n representes current polarization correlative, the last time polarization correlative of calculating in last the calculating in the accompanying drawing 2 that n-1 representes to repeat with given interval dt.Therefore, Pn represent the to polarize currency of correlative P, Pn-1 represent the to polarize last time value of correlative P, In representes the currency of charging current Icv.That is to say that the time difference between currency and the last value is dt.
By the way, in the initial calculation of formula (1), last value Pn-1 preferably is set to 0.In the present embodiment, consider to simplify and calculate that the computing cycle of the subprogram shown in the accompanying drawing 2 and the current sample cycle in step S2 are set to equal dt at interval.At length, T is the time constant of electric charge diffusion in the battery electrolysis, and is to be provided by the given numerical value that obtains through experiment in advance.By formula (1); Add incremental change Indt among the last time value Pn-1 through last time sampling or subtract decrement Pn-1dt/T obtain the polarizing currency Pn of correlative P (polarized state amount); This incremental change Indt produces during the interval dt between the once last and current sampling operation, this decrement Pn-1dt/T last once time and the interval dt between the current sampling operation during decay.
Simultaneously, the difference DELTA P of polarization correlative P is represented by formula (2):
ΔP=(Pn-Pn-1)/dt=In-1/T*Pn-1...(2)
After this program advances to step S5, and wherein whether processor 107 definite difference DELTA P are reduced to and are lower than given threshold value Pth.If confirm result's whether (being that decrease is greater than Pth), program turns back to main program.On the other hand, as definite result (decrease is less than Pth) when being, processor 107 assert that the polarization in the batteries 101 has been stabilized in the specified quantitative of charge polarization.In this case, the permission program advances to step S6, and wherein processor 107 is read the charging current amount Icv1 to Icv31 that samples and store during the predetermined amount of time T (for example 30 seconds), and this time period T starts from difference DELTA P and is reduced to the moment that is lower than threshold value Pth.
After this, processor 107 advances to step S7, wherein utilizes the charging current amount Icv1 to Icv31 that reads in to calculate the approximation formula
I=K+a*exp(b*t)...(3)
Utilize prior art such as least square method (the least square approach), this approximation formula provides the transient change characteristic of charging current.In this approximation formula, I representes charging current, and K, a, b represent can be through the constant of confirming like experiment, and t representes to begin institute's elapsed time from constant voltage charge.Constant K can be made as 0.
Program advances to step S8, and wherein processor 107 will be scheduled to charging current final value Icv and be updated to the approximation formula that has obtained, and at current time, estimates the termination moment Tf that constant voltage charge control will finish.In step S8, processor 107 also carries out the integration to charging current Icv during the time period of the moment of the termination from current time to control Tf, to obtain the integrated value (being a=∫ Icvdt) of charging current Icv.
Charging current final value Icv is set to the numerical value that when the SOC of battery 101 in the state of under afore-mentioned, carrying out constant voltage charge control is 90%, obtains.This charging current final value Icv is provided with through experiment or other modes in advance.Therefore, at step S9,, accurately calculate current SOC through the integrated value (a=∫ Icvdt) that from SOC90%, deducts charging current Icv.In addition, in step S9, the amount of capacity of also estimating inductive charging from now on is to obtain 90% SOC.At step S10, constant voltage charge stops then.
In the present embodiment, in this way, can be in various situation the accurate charged state of estimating battery 101.These situation comprise the instant moment after the engine start when capacity of battery 101 reduces, and wherein need a predetermined charging capacity.These situation also comprise particularly increases a large amount of electrical loads during vehicle '.In these situation, be battery 101 chargings more through the energy output that increases generator 102, with reducing of balancing battery SOC.More specifically; If because continuous and constant pressure charging having caused discharge polarization in above-mentioned charge step; The discharge polarization can disappear very soon, so that the moment of the predetermined amount of time of process provides the stable charging polarized state of generation corresponding to the polarization specified quantitative of charging voltage afterwards in the constant voltage charge starting.In the present embodiment, whether the variation through inspection polarization correlative P detects the time that stabilisation is accomplished less than predetermined threshold Pth.
In addition, have only when having realized having the stable state of charge polarization specified quantitative, just sample charging current to obtain necessary sample rate current data with given interval.Utilize these sample rate current data to estimate the charging current characteristic.Utilize the integrated value (a=∫ Icvdt) of the interior charging current of necessity during the time period of this characteristic estimating from current time to the moment that reaches predetermined SOC value (for example 90%) then.Therefore estimate current SOC value exactly and reach constant voltage charge that to start the necessary total amount of electric charge of predetermined SOC value that is provided immediately be possible.Can not receive polarized state scrambling influence and estimate.Also can utilize this technology for detection to overcharge.
With reference to accompanying drawing 3, actual more advantage is described now.
Accompanying drawing 3 examples when the charging current characteristic that the battery that also is not full of electricity is obtained when carrying out constant voltage charge.When the starting constant voltage charge, because charging capacity increases and produces charge polarization, can produce an initial charge scope, the figure of expression charging current characteristic shows the minimizing of charging current.Distinguishingly, the influence that the generation polarization is produced in lead-acid battery is greater than the battery of other kinds.The influence of the scrambling that the conventional approximation formula of the charging current that under the constant voltage charge state, obtains is not considered to polarize.
On the contrary, present embodiment adopts after the predetermined time interval section of constant voltage charge starting beginning the charging current data with the certain hour interval sampling.Predetermined amount of time is set, thereby can eliminates the influence of the scrambling of polarized state with reliable fashion.Utilize the sampled data that obtains in this way to confirm charging current characteristic (being the approximation formula), and utilize the internal electric state of this charging current characteristic estimating battery 101.As a result, can eliminate the influence of the scrambling of the polarized state that occurs in the initial range of constant voltage charge, thus make under the constant voltage charge situation more accurate for the estimation of charging current characteristic.
< experimental result >
Accompanying drawing 4 shows the experimental result of the charge volume of realizing under the constant voltage charge situation.In the experiment situation of accompanying drawing 4, at first start constant voltage charge, begin 30 seconds store electricity flow valuves from difference (polarization index) vanishing or littler moment of the polarization correlative that obtains by charging current value.Based on the current value of being stored, obtain approximation formula I (t)=A*exp (B*t).Calculate the capacity that is accumulated when the current value that obtains based on this approximation formula reaches set-point 5A, it is 6.4Ah.This numerical value is the charging capacity 6.5Ah of actual measurement no better than, therefore is appreciated that and can more accurately estimates charging capacity.
In addition, accompanying drawing 5 shows the relative result that in identical car, experimentizes in the lead-acid battery, wherein shows charging current characteristic A to C.Charging current characteristic A shows based on known technology and does not consider to polarize and the experiment carried out, and charging current characteristic B shows another experiment of carrying out according to present embodiment, and charging current characteristic C shows another experiment of actual measurement discharging current.In the situation of routine techniques (being characteristic A), constant voltage charge continues a given time period T, measures charging current during this period, utilizes charging current value and time T calculating approximation formula.In this regular situation, to compare approximation more inaccurate with the charging current (characteristic C) of actual measurement.On the contrary, (being characteristic B) in an embodiment of the present invention as stated, is based on the charging current value that detects during the predetermined amount of time Tp that begins from moment of Δ P<0 and relevant time, obtains the approximation formula.Very obvious, approach the charging current characteristic C of actual measurement according to the approximation of present embodiment, thereby improved approximate accuracy.
< minimizing of the amount of polarization before the constant voltage charge starting >
In the present embodiment, can calculate the currency Pn of polarization correlative P based on aforementioned formula (1).Formula (1) once is worth Pn-1 on need before calculating currency Pn, confirming.The calculating of formula (2) is correct.In calculating the first time that the current data that formula (1) detects based on first and second sense cycle is carried out, also do not calculate last value Pn-1.But,, can the last time be worth that Pn-1 regards constant as or be 0 because charging current/discharging current is almost constant or very little.
Therefore, at once, the integrated value of the charge/discharge current of battery can be regarded as approximate constant in the car that stored charge has consumed by piloting engine after the engine start.Simultaneously, because battery is not worked for a long time, can think that the polarization in the battery disappears.According to this viewpoint, can suppose to make battery discharge produce the discharge polarization of constant afterwards at once in order to pilot engine.This amount of polarization can be set to a set-point.In addition, at once, battery always can carry out a certain amount of discharge from the state that is full of electricity after the engine start.After this discharge, battery carries out constant voltage charge.This charging must offer the integrated value of quantitative charging current, and this is the later advantage of carrying out constant voltage charge at once of engine start just.
Also can utilize formula (1) to calculate the currency of the polarization in the discharge of being carried out of piloting engine.Can discharge amount of polarization that utilize this mode to calculate be distributed to the currency of the polarization correlative in the starting constant voltage charge.Therefore, as once being worth Pn-1 on the correlative that need polarize in the sense cycle second time of current data under the constant voltage charge situation, in discharging action, adopt the currency Pn of aforementioned polarization correlative P.
When vehicle ', the SOC of in-vehicle secondary battery gets different value.During vehicle ', the increase of electrical load or the minimizing of energy output will need battery to carry out the discharge of a period of time.In this case, should charge to remedy reducing among the SOC to battery.Therefore being preferably in discharging action has continued a preset time and has restarted constant voltage charge during section.
When discharging action has continued a preset time during section, the discharge polarization that in battery, can produce specified rate.Therefore, be preferably in after such charging action, keep charge/discharge current to be littler value in preset time in the section, to eliminate by the caused polarization of constant voltage charge of discharging and carrying out afterwards.
In addition, also have a time period, during charge/discharge current very little so that can think the polarization disappear, this time period last till keep one preset time section discharging action before.In this case, in the moment of the lasting beginning of above-mentioned polarization, be 0 with polarization setting, to utilize aforementioned formula (1) (wherein symbol is opposite) calculating amount of polarization, the polarization correlative when calculating the gained amount and being used as the constant voltage charge starting.That is to say that this calculating gained amount can be used as on the polarization correlative P that second sense cycle of charging current under the constant voltage charge situation is calculated and once be worth Pn-1.
Further, can use regulation voltage Vref+ Δ V to carry out aforementioned constant voltage charge, this regulation voltage Vref+ Δ V is higher than the standard adjustment voltage Vref of generator.In this case, if when vehicle ' the preset time of starting before the constant voltage charge during the section charge/discharge current be lower than a set-point, can think that then polarization disappears.Therefore, the polarization correlative P that uses of charging current second sense cycle after constant voltage charge starting on once be worth Pn-1 and can be set to 0.When adopting regulation voltage Vref+ Δ V, the charging current corresponding with charging voltage difference DELTA V flows during constant voltage charge always, so that preferably adopt regulation voltage Vref+ Δ V.
Can also be provided at and use the approximation formula to estimate the correction of the previous embodiment of charging current characteristic under the constant voltage charge control situation.But this is not unique embodiment.For example, can prepare form or equality in advance, the charging current of (for example 30 seconds) reduces the relation between dIcv and the cumulative capacity during the absolute value of this form or equality definition charging current value Icv1 to Icv31, the preset time section.Can obtain the charging current characteristic from this form or equality.
(second embodiment)
With reference to accompanying drawing 6-8, second embodiment according to checkout gear of the present invention is described now.
As first embodiment, in a second embodiment, checkout gear is realized as the SOC calculation element that is used for in-vehicle secondary battery.In addition, easy for describing, still use identical Reference numeral with the similar or similar elements of SOC calculation element among first embodiment.
Except processor 107 based on the flow chart work shown in accompanying drawing 6, the device 1 that the hardware configuration of SOC calculation element and accompanying drawing 1 described is identical.In addition, step S11-S16 is identical with content among the step S1-S6.In these steps, if in step S15, confirm as be, 107 identifications of processor complete obiteration that polarizes, and advance to step S16.Like aforementioned first embodiment, in this step, processor 107 reads out in the charging current amount Icv1 to Icv31 that is reduced to sampling and storage during the predetermined amount of time T (for example 30 seconds) that moment of being lower than threshold value Pth begins from difference DELTA P.
After this; Processor 107 advances to step S17; Wherein utilize the charging current amount Icv1 to Icv31 that reads in to calculate approximation formula I=K+a*exp (b*t) (it is identical with formula (3)); And adopt the transient change characteristic of this approximation formula, promptly according to charging current function of the present invention as charging current.By the way, this charging current function always is not subject to aforementioned approximation formula, can also be provided by the various known approximation method of the current data of estimating during constant voltage charge, to detect.
After this program advances to step S18, the processor 107 approximation formula (being the charging current function) that utilizes correction coefficient to come correction calculation to go out wherein, and this correction coefficient is stored in the memory of processor 107 for example in advance.This trimming process produces the correction function (abbreviating the charging current function of correction as) that is used for charging current.The charging current function of this correction can write in the mapping table, and need not use mathematical formulae.Later on this correction coefficient will be detailed.
After this, at step S19, processor 107 is with the charging current function of final value substitution to the correction of the charging current Icv that is scheduled to, with the termination moment Tf that confirms that ongoing constant voltage charge control should stop.In addition, continue under the situation of a period of time, at time period accumulated charging current Icv from current time to termination moment Tf in the control of hypothesis constant voltage charge.As noted earlier, thus through calculate by a=∫ Idt charging current accumulated value a as obtain with.
Therefore, in step S20, through from SOC 90% deduct the integrated value a (a=∫ Idt) of charging current Icv, can accurately calculate current SOC.In addition, in step S20, also estimate from obtaining the amount of capacity that 90% of SOC also should charge so far.After this, in step S21, constant voltage charge stops.For the sample rate current data, can also when proceeding to step S16, stop constant voltage charge.
< how obtaining correction coefficient >
The correction coefficient of proofreading and correct charging current function (approximation formula) is described now.Utilize correction coefficient to proofread and correct the slowness that charging current reduces when constant voltage charge stops, this slowness is owing to some factors that comprise the charge characteristic that in-vehicle secondary battery is aging.Can utilize several different methods to obtain this correction coefficient, below wherein some will be detailed.
