For fear of the fuzzy description of this invention unnecessarily, these functional parts are not described in detail herein.
Batteries of the present invention can comprise the secondary battery unit of different numbers.In the exemplary embodiment, batteries 300 can comprise 24 secondary battery units.
Batteries 300 comprises elementary storage battery subgroup 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n), each elementary storage battery subgroup is used for the direct direct current supply of load 400.Each elementary storage battery subgroup 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n) can comprise the secondary battery unit of two above series connection.
Each elementary storage battery subgroup can comprise the secondary battery unit of equal number or the secondary battery unit of varying number.For example, each elementary storage battery subgroup can comprise 2,3,4,6,8 or 12 secondary battery units.In the exemplary embodiment, each elementary storage battery subgroup can comprise respectively for example 6 secondary battery units.Therefore, batteries of the present invention is easily carried out scale expansion, is easy to realize modular system integrated.
In the exemplary embodiment, secondary battery unit is that nominal voltage is the lead acid accumulator of 2V.Each elementary storage battery subgroup 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n) comprise 6 such lead acid accumulators.That is, each elementary storage battery subgroup provides the nominal voltage of 12V.
N is more than or equal to 2 positive integer, and the number of the secondary battery unit that the number of the secondary battery unit that it comprises with batteries and each elementary storage battery subgroup comprise is relevant.The situation that comprises 24 secondary battery units for batteries, when each elementary storage battery subgroup for example comprises 4 secondary battery units, n equals 6.In the exemplary embodiment, when each elementary storage battery subgroup for example comprises respectively 6 secondary battery units, n equals 4, has 4 elementary storage battery subgroups 300 (1), 300 (2), 300 (3) and 300 (4).
In the exemplary embodiment, elementary storage battery subgroup 300 (1), 300 (2) ... between 300 (4), can be connected with secondary equalizer by bidirectional, dc contactor.In addition, described in each, elementary storage battery subgroup can further be connected in series to form secondary storage battery subgroup.
For due in Military Application some power cutoff device power consumption is not larger, the present invention by bidirectional, dc contactor and one/secondary equalizer by secondary battery unit neatly connection in series-parallel connect, thereby realize the High-current output problem of different voltage batteries under different voltage.

In traditional series-connected batteries, there is individual difference in the different batteries unit in batteries, if this individual difference gets the brush-off, will cause batteries service efficiency to reduce, and reduces the useful life of storage battery.Particularly, each secondary battery unit is because the quality of storage battery is not identical, little, the ropy accumulator voltage of capacity there will be the situation that build-up of voltage is more than another storage battery after being filled with same charge, if do not taken measures, their voltage difference will increase, so that one of them storage battery reaches the safe voltage of regulation very soon, charging process also will be forced to stop.Now should stop the storage battery that charging voltage is high, stop equalizing charge.Be conducive to like this recover impaired secondary battery unit in storage battery, charging process can successfully be carried out.According to the method for management of charging and discharging of the present invention, can solve these technical problems.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 2, describe in detail according to the method for management of charging and discharging of the present invention.
In first step, secondary battery unit is connected in series and forms primary/secondary storage battery subgroup.24 secondary battery units are divided into 4 elementary storage battery subgroups, and each elementary storage battery subgroup comprises 6 secondary battery units and therefore the nominal voltage of 12V is provided.In addition, described elementary storage battery subgroup is connected in series, thereby obtains providing respectively the secondary storage battery subgroup of the nominal voltage of 24V, 36V and 48V.
In second step, by current-voltage sampling circuit, carry out detection of primary storage battery subgroup 300 (1), 300 (2) ... the terminal voltage of 300 (n).Whether the terminal voltage detecting, with theoretical value comparison, is judged to the classification of storage battery and connect correct.Then detect the terminal voltage of each elementary storage battery subgroup, if the terminal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup is not less than the 60-90% of the nominal voltage of described elementary storage battery subgroup, for example, be not less than 9.5V, 12V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules is not worked.
If the terminal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup is greater than 5V and is less than 9.5V, once over-discharge can of storage battery is described, the elementary storage battery subgroup for terminal voltage within the scope of this, 12V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts.For fear of excessive to charge in batteries electric current, cause thermal runaway, by monitoring the terminal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup, separately this elementary storage battery subgroup is carried out to stable trickle charge, thereby activate storage battery.When trickle charge, can use for example charge rate of C/15-C/10, preferably the charge rate of this trickle charge is C/12.In this trickle charge stage, the terminal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup starts to rise.
In third step, when this elementary storage battery subgroup terminal voltage rises to the threshold value that can accept boost charge charging, stop the independent charging to this elementary storage battery subgroup.In the exemplary embodiment, this threshold value is for example the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 11V.For the terminal voltage elementary storage battery subgroup within the scope of the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup not, system automatically starts 12V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules and adjusts one/secondary equalizer and two-way direct tentaculum, thereby by the circulating charging that distributes of respective primary storage battery subgroup, make the terminal voltage of each elementary storage battery subgroup rise to the threshold value that can accept boost charge charging.
In the 4th step, when the terminal voltage of elementary storage battery subgroup reaches the threshold value that can accept boost charge charging, for example, while reaching 11V, the saturation voltage by this elementary storage battery subgroup boost charge to this elementary storage battery subgroup.Alternatively, when the terminal voltage of all 4 elementary storage battery subgroups all reaches the threshold value that can accept boost charge charging, carry out above-mentioned boost charge.Alternatively, in the time of can reaching in the terminal voltage of each elementary storage battery subgroup the threshold value that can accept boost charge charging, carry out immediately above-mentioned boost charge.

In the 5th step, when the nominal voltage described elementary storage battery subgroup that is 12V is all charged to its saturation voltage, 24V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts, thereby the secondary storage battery subgroup that is 24V to nominal voltage is charged.
According to the similar mode of elementary storage battery subgroup that is 12V to nominal voltage, judge whether once over-discharge can of this secondary storage battery subgroup, and the in the situation that of over-discharge can once by this secondary storage battery subgroup trickle charge to the threshold voltage that can accept boost charge, then by this secondary storage battery subgroup boost charge to saturation voltage.Similar with abovementioned steps, the charge rate of trickle charge can be C/15-C/10, is preferably C/12; The charge rate of boost charge can be 2C-10C, is preferably 5C; The threshold voltage that can accept boost charge is for example the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 22V; And this saturation voltage is than the high 5-25% of the nominal voltage of this secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 26V.
In the 6th step, when the nominal voltage described secondary storage battery subgroup that is 24V is all charged to its saturation voltage, 36V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts, thereby the secondary storage battery subgroup that is 36V to nominal voltage is charged.
According to being the similar mode of the primary/secondary storage battery subgroup of 12V, 24V to nominal voltage, judge whether once over-discharge can of this secondary storage battery subgroup, and the in the situation that of over-discharge can once by this secondary storage battery subgroup trickle charge to the threshold voltage that can accept boost charge, then by this secondary storage battery subgroup boost charge to saturation voltage.Similar with abovementioned steps, the charge rate of trickle charge can be C/15-C/10, is preferably C/12; The charge rate of boost charge can be 2C-10C, is preferably 5C; The threshold voltage that can accept boost charge is for example the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 33V; And this saturation voltage is than the high 5-25% of the nominal voltage of this secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 36.7V.
In the 7th step, when the nominal voltage described secondary storage battery subgroup that is 36V is all charged to its saturation voltage, 48V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts, thereby the secondary storage battery subgroup that is 48V to nominal voltage is charged.
According to being the similar mode of the primary/secondary storage battery subgroup of 12V, 24V to nominal voltage, judge whether once over-discharge can of this secondary storage battery subgroup, and the in the situation that of over-discharge can once by this secondary storage battery subgroup trickle charge to the threshold voltage that can accept boost charge, then by this secondary storage battery subgroup boost charge to saturation voltage.Similar with abovementioned steps, the charge rate of trickle charge can be C/15-C/10, is preferably C/12; The charge rate of boost charge can be 2C-10C, is preferably 5C; The threshold voltage that can accept boost charge is for example the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 44V; And this saturation voltage is than the high 5-25% of the nominal voltage of this secondary storage battery subgroup, is preferably 56.4V.
