Embodiment
For making those skilled in the art understand better technical scheme of the present invention, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the balance method of battery capacity of battery system of the present invention, device and pure electric automobile are described in further detail.
Embodiment 1:
As shown in Figure 1, the present embodiment provides a kind of balance method of battery capacity of battery system, described battery system comprises a plurality of cells, because the structure of battery system belongs to prior art, therefore the connected mode of a plurality of cells wherein also belongs to prior art, can be by those skilled in the art according to the actual requirements with series connection, or the mode such as connection in series-parallel combination assembles, and do not repeat them here.
Described method comprises the steps:
S101. described battery system is charged until the cut-off of charging, so that battery system is in full power state, and the voltage of all cells in battery system during record charging cut-off.
Because described battery system can be used in automobile, thereby therefore can adopt external 220V power supply that automobile is charged battery system is charged, and can be battery system charging process (starting to charging cut-off from charging) the battery management system (BMS) of employing automobile detect in real time and record the voltage of all cells in the global voltage of battery system and battery system.
While s102. selecting charging cut-off, each higher cell of voltage in battery system, carries out equalization discharge to each cell of selecting successively or simultaneously.
In described step s102, while selecting charging cut-off, in battery system, each higher cell of voltage is specially:
Predeterminated voltage higher limit, when charging cut-off, if the voltage of the one or more cells in battery system is greater than default described upper voltage limit value, judge that described one or more cell is as the higher cell of voltage, and select the numbering of the higher described one or more cells of voltage.Wherein, described upper voltage limit value can be set according to the actual requirements voluntarily by those skilled in the art.
In described step s102, successively or each cell of selecting is carried out to equalization discharge simultaneously and be specially:
S102-1. calculate respectively the capacity of the required electric discharge of each cell of selecting:
With reference to the initial charge curve of the cell identical with the model of each cell of selecting, (described initial charge curve Ke You battery production producer provides, and the voltage of cell and the corresponding relation of capacity during according to the known charging cut-off of initial charge curve), the capacity of each cell of selecting while calculating respectively charging cut-off according to described initial charge curve is poor with the capacity mean value of each cell (other cells) not being selected, and this difference is the capacity of required electric discharge;
S102-2. equalization discharge:
According to the capacity of the required electric discharge of described each cell calculating, in battery system when cut-off charging (battery system in full power state time), adopt existing equalizer or load successively or described each cell is carried out to equalization discharge simultaneously, to eliminate unnecessary capacity,, the capacity of the required electric discharge of described each cell is discharged, rather than transfer on each cell not being selected.
S103. again described battery system is charged until the cut-off of charging, and the voltage of all cells in battery system during record charging cut-off.
