Detailed Description
The present invention is described in detail below:
an intelligent electric bicycle quick-charging battery pack comprises a BMS chip, a charger controlled by the BMS chip and a detachable battery pack connected with the charger, wherein a plurality of single batteries are arranged in the battery pack. The Battery Management System (BMS) is a link between a battery and a user, and the main object is a secondary battery, mainly in order to improve the utilization rate of the battery and prevent overcharge and overdischarge of the battery, which can conveniently realize the following functions: (1) accurate estimation of SOC, (2) dynamic monitoring, (3) equalization between cells. By implementing these functions, the battery pack can be charged by the charging method described below. The battery pack consisting of the plurality of single batteries has the advantages of convenient production, simple combination and adjustment according to different conditions of the battery compartment of the electric vehicle.
In this embodiment, the BMS chip still is connected with status display device, and status display device includes the warning light. The warning light can be convenient for operating personnel observe the charged state and provide audio-visual show.
In this embodiment, the charger includes a cooling device. The cooling device is one or more of a fan, a radiating fin, a heat conducting pipe and the like, the temperature of the battery can be effectively adjusted through controlling the cooling device, and the situations of electric quantity decline and the like caused by high temperature are avoided.
In this embodiment, the single battery is a graphene-based lithium battery. The graphene lithium battery has the advantages of light weight, high energy density, high charging speed and the like, and is suitable for light vehicles such as electric vehicles and the like.
The embodiment further includes a charging method for a quick-charging battery pack of an intelligent electric bicycle, which is used for charging the quick-charging battery pack of the intelligent electric bicycle in the embodiment, and is characterized in that the method is used for reducing inconsistency of capacities among single batteries of the battery pack and balancing charging states of the single batteries in a charging process to improve charging efficiency and service life of the battery pack, and specifically includes the following four steps:
step one, a pre-charging program: the method comprises the steps of firstly charging with weak positive pulse current with the current value as the first current intensity, adding strong current with the current value as the second current intensity once after each weak positive pulse for six times to judge charging, switching to a main charging program for a certain single battery after twelve times of strong current judgment charging if the BMS chip detects that the activity of the single battery can accept the strong current charging, and maintaining the pre-charging program until thirty-six times of strong current judgment is carried out and then directly entering the main charging program if the BMS chip detects that the single battery does not meet the conditions of the strong current charging. The second current intensity is 3C-10C, and the first current intensity is one third of the second current intensity.
After the charger starts to work, in order to protect the battery pack and the charger from being damaged by strong current impact, about one third of weak positive pulse current is firstly used, and after every 6 times of weak current charging, the strong current is added to judge charging. When the computer chip detects that the strong current access charging can be carried out, after 12 times of strong current charging, the BMS chip controls the charger to enter a main charging program, namely 3C-10C strong current charging is adopted. Otherwise the charger is still maintaining the pre-charge program state, this program process is limited to 36 times. After 36 times of pre-charging, the BMS forcibly transfers to a main charging program, and at this stage, the BMS also detects the terminal voltage of the battery pack, and if the terminal voltage of the battery pack is detected to be greater than a certain value; the BMS immediately goes to the main charging process.
Step two, a main charging program: the charger alternately charges the single battery by main positive and negative pulses, the prompting lamp displays a charging signal at the moment, and the cooling device starts to cool; after the capacity of the single battery reaches 85%, switching to a secondary charging program; the main positive and negative pulse current value is a second current intensity; the main pulse width in the main positive and negative pulses is 5-10 seconds, the negative pulse width in the main positive and negative pulses is 300-100 milliseconds, and the amplitude of the negative pulse in the main positive and negative pulses is 1.5 times that of the positive pulse. When the electric quantity is close to 85%, the BMS chip carries out continuous negative pulse discharge tests after the positive pulse in each main positive and negative pulse, and the single battery can be transferred to the step three times of charging procedures after meeting the sixteen times of negative pulse discharge requirements.
After the BMS enters a main charging program, the charger is in a positive and negative pulse alternating working state. The charging indicator light is indicated by the red light to enter a charging state, and the fan is started at the moment. This process will complete the charging amount of over 85% of the battery capacity, with the average width of the positive pulse being 5-10 seconds, the lower the battery terminal voltage, the greater the width. The negative pulse width is 30-100 milliseconds, the negative pulse amplitude is about 1.5 times of the positive pulse, the positive pulse and the negative pulse are alternated, the interval rest time of 100 milliseconds is respectively provided, the battery endpoint voltage is detected after each negative pulse, particularly when the battery is nearly full of charge, continuous negative pulse discharge tests are carried out after each positive pulse charging current, and after the requirement of 16 times of negative pulse discharge is met, the next procedure is carried out, so that the sufficient compaction of the battery voltage is ensured.
Step three, a secondary charging program: after the main charging program is switched into the secondary charging program, the BMS chip controls the charger to alternately charge by secondary positive and negative pulses after one-minute intermission, and the floating charging program is switched into when the capacity of the single battery reaches 95 percent; the secondary positive and negative pulse current value is the first current intensity;
after the main charging program is finished and after a rest of about one minute, the chip enters a third charging program, the charging current is the same as the pre-charging current, the purpose of the charging program is mainly to finish the charging quantity of 95% of the battery capacity, the charging working mode is completely the same as the main charging program, only the current and the negative pulse amplitude are reduced, thus being beneficial to reducing the polarization of the battery, and when the voltage reaches the negative pulse discharging requirement for 10 times, the next program is switched to. After a rest of one minute, the chip enters a fourth charging procedure, the charging current is about one ninth of the main charging current, the purpose of the charging procedure is mainly to complete the charging quantity of more than 98% of the battery capacity, the charging working mode is completely the same as the main charging procedure, but the current and the negative pulse amplitude are reduced, so that the polarization of the battery is favorably reduced, and when the voltage meets the negative pulse discharging requirement for 10 times, the next procedure is switched to. The chip automatically goes to a fifth charging procedure, namely a floating charging procedure.
Step four, a floating charging program: after the secondary charging program is switched into the floating charging program, a prompting lamp prompts a floating charging signal after one-minute intermission, the BMS chip controls the charger to charge the single battery by using the floating positive and negative pulses until the electric quantity of the single battery reaches 100%, the current of the floating positive and negative pulses is linearly reduced along with the charging time, and the BMS chip closes the charging program when the current is reduced to be below 0.2A.
After the charger enters the floating charging procedure, the charging indicator light is changed into an orange light, and the charging amount of the last 5% of the battery capacity is mainly completed. The positive pulse width reaches one time of tens of seconds, negative pulses rarely occur, the battery endpoint voltage is maintained at the floating charge voltage around the highest voltage, the current is gradually reduced along with the time, the BMS monitors the current, when the current is less than 0.2A, the floating charge program is quitted, the battery is switched to a shutdown program, for the battery which can not reach the current below 0.2A, the BMS adopts time limit control, and the battery is forced to be switched to the shutdown program after 1 hour is stipulated.
