Charging control method and device of battery management system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high-end equipment of new energy automobiles, in particular to a charging control method and device of a battery management system.
Background
In the field of new energy automobiles, as a main energy source of electric automobiles, lithium battery packs have been widely used in recent years because of their advantages of portability, larger capacity, good cycle performance, long service life, and the like. Since lithium batteries for electric vehicles have a high voltage and a large capacity, and the number of single batteries connected in series in the battery packs is large, the batteries are generally managed by a battery management system (abbreviated as "BMS"). When the lithium battery pack is charged, the battery management system also performs charging management on the lithium battery pack.
Currently, a conventional charging method for lithium battery packs is a constant-current constant-voltage charging method (abbreviated as "CC-CV"). The charging method is to charge by a constant current until the battery voltage reaches the off-voltage, and then to charge by a constant voltage until the off-current. When a conventional charging method is used for charging a lithium battery pack, the phenomenon that the lithium battery pack is judged to be in a full charge state instead of full charge is often easy to occur, so that the problem that the electric quantity of the lithium battery pack cannot be full is caused; meanwhile, the conventional charging method is adopted to easily cause overcharging of the lithium battery pack, so that the single lithium battery in the lithium battery pack is easily damaged by overcharging, and the cycle service life of the single lithium battery is shortened. As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a charging control method according to the prior art, when a lithium battery pack is charged by adopting the prior art, if the highest voltage of a single lithium battery in the lithium battery pack reaches a cut-off voltage value, the charging needs to be ended because of the need of preventing overcharge, and at this time, the lithium battery pack tends to be under-charged; therefore, when the constant-current and constant-voltage charging method is adopted to charge the lithium battery pack, how to control the charging through the battery management system, ensure that the lithium battery pack is fully charged, and prevent the lithium battery pack from being overcharged, and meanwhile, how to ensure that the lithium battery pack reaches a fully charged state is a problem to be solved at present.
