Battery module 11 is exemplarily made up of two 12 volts of batteries, i.e. battery 111 and 112, and wherein, battery 111 and 112 is sequentially connected in series, and therefore, the load voltage value of battery module 11 module can be promoted to 24V.The rated voltage of battery 111 and 112 is identical 12V, it meets the supply standard of vehicle electronics load system completely, and therefore, wherein any one can be powered for in-vehicle electronic system, illustratively, battery 111 is selected as the 12V load supplying of in-vehicle electronic system.Because this battery module 11 exists 12V power supply and 24V power supply simultaneously, one of them battery of battery module 11 can be shared by in-vehicle electronic system, achieve the compatibility of the battery module of micro-hybrid system 10 and the battery of in-vehicle electronic system well, then the related components of traditional combustion engine automobile can be continued to use well, therefore, this compatibility can reduce the cost of the automobile using this micro-hybrid system 10 greatly.
The capacity of battery 111 and 112 is preferably consistent, such as, be 60Ah or 45Ah, but the concrete size of their capacity of cell is also limited to embodiments of the invention.
The type of battery 111 and 112 can be consistent, and such as, they are all lead-acid batteries or are AGM(glass fibre separator) battery; Certainly, battery 111 with 112 type also can not be identical, such as, battery 111 is AGM battery, and battery 112 is lead-acid battery.But their concrete battery types is also limited to embodiments of the invention.
Continue as shown in Figure 1, power supply integrated control module 12 comprises motor drive module 121 and electrical source exchange module 122, battery module 11 can output voltage to electrical source exchange module 122, electrical source exchange module 122 DC output end electrical source exchange module 122 couples, and electrical source exchange module 122 can be connected with motor 13 by such as three-phase alternating current wire harness.The motor of motor 13 for using in start stop system, it possesses electricity generate function, and from can by such as braking recuperated energy, motor 13 be three phase alternating current motor alternatively.
When working in discharge mode (namely under drive pattern), the output voltage of each battery is added in electrical source exchange module 122, thus output rated voltage is the direct supply of about 24V, DC/DC(DC-DC is achieved like this in electrical source exchange module 122) conversion, and export 24V direct current (DC) to motor drive module 121; Motor drive module 121 carries out direct current (DC) to the conversion exchanging (AC), thus exports three plase alternating current to motor 13.Therefore motor drive module 121 specifically can comprise the inverter with DC/AC function, and according to the needs of system, can control the horsepower output of motor.
When working in charge mode, the electric energy that motor 13 exports is input to motor drive module 121, completes the conversion of interchange (AC) to direct current (DC), and exports electrical source exchange module 122 to; Electrical source exchange module 122 can carry out Charge Management to the battery module be made up of two 12V batteries, thus completes optimization and the distribution of energy, like this, not only can postpone the service life of battery, and can promote the effect when discharging of battery.Particularly, can charge according to the SOC of each battery, the battery that wherein SOC is lower is preferentially charged, such as, battery 111 is selected as vehicle electronics load system and powers, and so the SOC of battery 111 easily declines faster, therefore, can be preferably battery 111 to charge, when battery 111 is substantially identical with the SOC of battery 112, be the two charging simultaneously.
Power supply integrated control module 12 can also couple with other parts of automobile simultaneously, such as, couples with other modules 92 of car load, control unit of engine (ECM) 91.
