Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a battery equalization system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. This battery equalizing system includes: the system comprises a control module 101, an acquisition module 102, an equalization module 103 and a battery pack 104.
In one embodiment, each cell corresponds to one acquisition module 102 and one equalization module 103. The acquisition module 102 and the equalization module 103 corresponding to the same single battery are respectively connected with the control module 101 through different control channels. The control module can comprise a control chip, the control chip is respectively connected with the acquisition module and the balance module corresponding to the same single battery through two pins, and the two pins correspond to the two channels one by one.
In this embodiment, the control module 101 controls the acquisition module 102 and the equalization module 103 to conduct in a time-sharing manner according to a unit cycle, and respectively performs acquisition of battery information and equalization of a battery, so that the acquisition of the battery information and the equalization are performed in a time-sharing manner. The influence of the equalizing current on the accuracy of battery information acquisition is avoided when the battery information acquisition and the equalization are simultaneously carried out.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, each of the cells is connected to an acquisition module 102 and an equalization module 103, respectively. If the battery pack includes N single batteries, the number of the acquisition modules 102 is N, and the number of the equalization modules 103 is N, so that the control module 101 is connected to the N acquisition modules and the N equalization modules through 2 × N control channels, respectively.
In other embodiments, different cells may share an equalization module, for example, N cells in a battery pack, the same equalization module may be shared, or one equalization module may be shared for each predetermined number (e.g., 2, 3, or 5, etc.) of cells, and so on. When at least two single batteries in the multiple single batteries sharing one balancing module need to be balanced, the balancing module is alternately connected with each single battery in the at least two single batteries needing to be balanced in the balancing time interval of the unit cycle.
Referring to fig. 2, two single batteries share one balancing module, and when two single batteries sharing one balancing module need to be balanced, the balancing module is alternately connected with each single battery in a balancing period of a unit cycle. The alternate connection may be a connection that alternates according to a certain period. For example, referring to fig. 2, when the parallel switch 150 on the parallel branch 15 corresponding to one of the two single batteries 111 is closed for 2s under the control of the control module 14, the parallel switch 150 on the parallel branch 15 corresponding to the other of the two single batteries 111 is opened for 2s under the control of the control module 14. That is, the parallel switch 150 on the parallel branch 15 corresponding to each of the two single batteries 111 is switched from the closed state to the open state or from the open state to the closed state every two seconds in the equalization period. Therefore, on the basis of time-sharing conduction of the acquisition module and the equalization module, the single batteries sharing the same equalization module are alternately connected with the shared equalization module during the equalization time period, and equalization is realized.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a battery equalization system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
This battery equalizing system includes: a control module 301, an acquisition module 302, an equalization module 303, and a battery pack 304. The battery pack 304 includes a plurality of unit cells connected in series. The control module 301 is connected to the acquisition module 302 and the equalization module 303 corresponding to the same cell via a control channel 305. The control module is used for controlling the connection of the control module and the corresponding sampling module when the single battery connected with the control module is determined not to need balancing; or, the control module is further configured to multiplex the channels 305 in time division according to a unit period by the acquisition module and the equalization module when it is determined that the single battery connected to the control module needs equalization.
One unit period includes: an acquisition period and an equalization period. The control module 301 controls the acquisition module 302 to sample the battery information of the single battery in an acquisition time period to obtain the battery information of the single battery. The battery information includes at least one of: voltage, current, temperature, etc. In one embodiment, the battery information may include only the voltage value, and thus, the voltage performance parameter of the unit battery may be obtained. In another embodiment, the battery information may also include a voltage value, a current value, a temperature value, and the like, so as to obtain performance parameters such as SOC, internal resistance, self-discharge rate, and the like of the single battery.
The control module 301 determines the single battery to be balanced, which needs to be balanced, according to the battery information of the single battery acquired by the acquisition module 302. For the single battery to be equalized which needs to be started, the control module 301 controls the equalization module corresponding to the single battery to be equalized, and equalizes the single battery to be equalized in an equalization time period.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the acquisition module and the balancing module share the same control channel, the control module controls the acquisition module and the balancing module, and the control channel is multiplexed in time according to a unit period, so that the influence of balancing current on the accuracy of battery information acquisition is avoided when the battery information acquisition and the balancing are performed simultaneously; on the other hand, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the requirement for the number of channels of the control module chip is reduced, and the hardware cost can be saved.
In one embodiment, a switch K is disposed in a control channel shared by the acquisition module and the equalization module, and the control module 301 is connected to the switch K and is connected to the acquisition module 302 or the equalization module 303 in a time-sharing manner by controlling the switch K. When the switch K is connected with the acquisition module 302, the control module 301 controls the acquisition module 302 to acquire battery information of the single battery in an acquisition period; when the switch K is connected to the balancing module 303, the control module 301 controls the balancing module 303 to balance the corresponding single battery.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, each cell of the battery is connected to an acquisition module 302 and an equalization module 303, respectively. If the battery pack includes N single batteries, the number of the acquisition modules 302 is N, and the number of the equalization modules 303 is N, so that the control module 301 is connected to the acquisition modules and the equalization modules through N control channels.
In other embodiments, different cells may share an equalization module, for example, N cells in a battery pack, the same equalization module may be shared, or one equalization module may be shared for each predetermined number (e.g., 2, 3, or 5, etc.) of cells, and so on. When at least two single batteries in the multiple single batteries sharing one balancing module need to be balanced, the balancing module is alternately connected with each single battery in the at least two single batteries needing to be balanced in the balancing time interval of the unit cycle.
Referring to fig. 4, an exemplary schematic diagram of two unit cells sharing one balancing module is shown. When two single batteries sharing one balancing module need to be balanced, the balancing module is alternately connected with each single battery in the balancing time interval of the unit cycle. The alternate connection may be a connection that alternates according to a certain period. Therefore, on the basis of time-sharing conduction of the acquisition module and the equalization module, the single batteries sharing the same equalization module are alternately connected with the shared equalization module during the equalization time period, and equalization is realized.
In one embodiment, the collecting module may be a voltage collecting chip for collecting the voltage of the single battery during the collecting period.
Referring to fig. 5, based on the battery balancing system shown in any one of the embodiments of fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, or fig. 4, the battery balancing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:
in step S51, obtaining the self-discharge rate of the single battery to be equalized in the battery pack;
in step S52, a reference self-discharge rate required for equalization is acquired;
in step S53, determining a target equalization duration of the single battery to be equalized according to the self-discharge rate of the single battery to be equalized and the reference self-discharge rate;
in step S54, balancing of the single battery to be balanced is controlled according to the target balancing duration.
The self-discharge rate of the single battery is used for representing the capacity loss condition and the capacity loss rate of the single battery. In one embodiment, when the battery pack stops working and reaches a stable state (time t 1), detecting and recording the open-circuit voltage value V1 of each single battery of the power battery pack; when the battery pack starts to work again (time t2), detecting and recording the open-circuit voltage value V2 of each single battery of the power battery pack; and calculating the self-discharge rate eta of each single battery according to the open-circuit voltage value of each single battery obtained by the two detections.
In one embodiment, the step S51 includes the following steps:
after the battery pack is powered off, determining a first time when each single battery in the battery pack reaches a stable state and a first open-circuit voltage value corresponding to the single battery at the first time;
when the battery pack is electrified again, determining a second time when the single battery is electrified and a second open-circuit voltage value of the single battery at the second time for each single battery in the battery pack;
and determining the self-discharge rate of the single battery according to the first open-circuit voltage value and the second open-circuit voltage value corresponding to the single battery and the duration between the first moment and the second moment corresponding to the single battery.
After the battery pack is powered off, determining a first moment when each single battery in the battery pack reaches a stable state and a first open-circuit voltage value corresponding to the single battery at the first moment.
Stopping working after the battery pack is powered off, and detecting and recording a first moment t when each single battery in the battery pack reaches a stable state when the battery pack reaches the stable state1And the open circuit voltage value V of the single battery1
When the battery pack is powered on again, for each single battery in the battery pack, determining a second time when the single battery is powered on and a second open-circuit voltage value of the single battery at the second time.
And starting to work again when the battery pack is electrified again, and detecting and recording a second moment t of electrifying the single battery for each single battery in the battery pack2And a second open circuit voltage value V at that time2
And determining the ratio of the voltage difference value to the time length as the self-discharge rate of the single battery according to the first open-circuit voltage value and the second open-circuit voltage value corresponding to the single battery and the time length between the first moment and the second moment corresponding to the single battery.
The calculation method of the self-discharge rate eta comprises the following steps:
(1) finding out corresponding SOC1 and SOC2 according to the detected V1 and V2 based on the OCV-SOC curve of the battery;
(2) calculating the SOC change value delta SOC of the battery according to the SOC1 and the SOC 2;
(3) calculating the battery capacity discharged by the battery from the discharge according to the delta SOC and the full-capacity C of the battery, wherein the delta Q is delta SOC C;
(4) calculating the value of the self-discharge rate eta of the battery: η ═ Δ Q/(t1-t 2). The larger the self-discharge rate, the more the battery loses capacity by self-discharge during standing, and the less its remaining capacity.
In step S52, a reference self-discharge rate is determined.
In one embodiment, the self-discharge rate of any single cell in the battery pack may be used as the reference self-discharge rate, for example, the self-discharge rate of the 2 nd single cell in the battery pack is used as the reference self-discharge rate, or the self-discharge rate of the single cell with the largest self-discharge rate in the battery pack, or the self-discharge rate of the single cell with the smallest self-discharge rate in the battery pack, or the self-discharge rate of the single cell with the self-discharge rate arranged in the middle of the battery pack (for the case that the battery pack includes an odd number of single cells).
In another embodiment, the reference self-discharge rate may also be calculated from the self-discharge rates of the individual cells in the battery pack, for example: the average value of the self-discharge rates of the individual unit cells in the battery pack, or the average value of the self-discharge rates of the two unit cells in the battery pack that have self-discharge rates that are arranged at the middle (for the case where the battery pack includes an even number of unit cells).
Optionally, the target equalization duration of the single battery to be equalized is determined according to the self-discharge rate and the reference self-discharge rate of the single battery to be equalized, and there are, but not limited to, the following determination manners:
according to Δ Q ═ Δ η × t0Determining the electric quantity difference, wherein delta Q is the electric quantity difference, delta eta is the self-discharge rate difference value between the self-discharge rate of the single battery to be equalized and the reference self-discharge rate, and t0The time length from the last time of equalization ending to the current time is obtained;
and determining a target equalization time length according to the t ═ delta Q/I, wherein t is the target equalization time length, and I is the equalization current of the single battery to be equalized.
And the balancing process of the single batteries needing balancing is different according to different reference self-discharge rates. Hereinafter, the self-discharge rates will be described with reference to the case where the self-discharge rates are the minimum value, the maximum value, and the average value among the self-discharge rates of the individual unit cells in the battery pack.
1) In the case that the reference self-discharge rate is the minimum value among the self-discharge rates of the individual single batteries in the battery pack, the determining the self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rate of the at least one single battery and the reference self-discharge rate required for the equalization judgment includes: determining the self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rates of the following single batteries and a reference self-discharge rate required by the equalization judgment:
the single battery with the maximum self-discharge rate in the battery pack; or
And the other single batteries except the single battery with the self-discharge rate of the minimum value in the battery pack.
Correspondingly, after determining that the single battery needing equalization is the single battery with the self-discharge rate difference value larger than or equal to the equalization starting threshold value in the at least one single battery, the method further comprises the following steps: and controlling the charging of the single battery with the self-discharge rate difference value larger than or equal to the equalizing starting threshold value in the at least one single battery.
Specifically, when the reference self-discharge rate is the minimum value among the self-discharge rates of the individual cells in the battery pack, only the self-discharge rate of the individual cell with the largest self-discharge rate in the battery pack may be subtracted from the reference self-discharge rate, so as to determine whether the individual cell with the largest self-discharge rate in the battery pack is the individual cell requiring equalization. This embodiment can only determine if one cell needs to be balanced.
When the reference self-discharge rate is the minimum value of the self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, the self-discharge rates of the single batteries except the single battery with the minimum self-discharge rate in the battery pack can be differentiated from the reference self-discharge rate, so that whether the single batteries except the single battery with the minimum self-discharge rate in the battery pack are the single batteries needing to be balanced or not can be judged. This embodiment is a batch determination method, and can determine whether or not the other cells in the battery pack, except the cell with the smallest self-discharge rate, are the cells that need to be balanced at one time.
In the case that the reference self-discharge rate is the minimum value of the self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, the process of balancing the single batteries needing balancing is as follows: no matter the battery pack is in a charging state or a discharging state, active equalization is adopted to charge the single batteries needing equalization.
2) In the case that the reference self-discharge rate is the maximum value of the self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, determining the self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rate of the at least one single battery and the reference self-discharge rate required by the equalization judgment comprises: determining the self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rates of the following single batteries and a reference self-discharge rate required by the equalization judgment:
the single battery with the minimum self-discharge rate in the battery pack; or
And the other single batteries except the single battery with the self-discharge rate of the maximum value in the battery pack.
Correspondingly, after determining that the single battery needing equalization is the single battery with the self-discharge rate difference value larger than or equal to the equalization starting threshold value in the at least one single battery, the method further comprises the following steps: and controlling the discharge of the single battery with the self-discharge rate difference value larger than or equal to the balance starting threshold value in the at least one single battery.
Specifically, when the reference self-discharge rate is the maximum value among the self-discharge rates of the individual cells in the battery pack, only the self-discharge rate of the cell with the minimum self-discharge rate in the battery pack may be subtracted from the reference self-discharge rate, so as to determine whether the cell with the minimum self-discharge rate in the battery pack is the cell requiring equalization. This embodiment can only determine if one cell needs to be balanced.
When the reference self-discharge rate is the maximum value of the self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, the self-discharge rates of the other single batteries except the single battery with the maximum self-discharge rate in the battery pack can be differentiated from the reference self-discharge rate, so as to judge whether the other single batteries except the single battery with the maximum self-discharge rate in the battery pack are the single batteries needing to be balanced. This embodiment is a batch determination method, and can determine whether or not the other cells in the battery pack, except the cell with the highest self-discharge rate, are the cells that need to be balanced at one time.
In the case that the reference self-discharge rate is the maximum value of the self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, the process of balancing the single batteries needing balancing is as follows: no matter the battery pack is in a charging state or a discharging state, passive equalization is adopted, and the single batteries needing equalization are discharged.
3) In the case that the reference self-discharge rate is an average value of self-discharge rates of the single batteries in the battery pack, determining a self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rate of the at least one single battery and a reference self-discharge rate required for equalization judgment includes: and determining the self-discharge rate difference between the self-discharge rate of each single battery in the battery pack and the reference self-discharge rate.
