In the description of the above-described embodiments, in the energy storage module 100, the wireless communication manner employed by the slave battery control unit 130 and the current detection unit 140, and the slave battery control unit 130 and the battery monitoring unit 150 is short-range wireless communication.
In one embodiment, the communication distance of the short-range wireless communication is 40 meters or less.
In an embodiment, the communication mode of the short-range wireless communication may be a wireless communication mode such as bluetooth wireless communication or ZigBee wireless communication, or may be another wireless communication mode other than bluetooth communication or ZigBee communication, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.
A specific manner of wireless communication between the slave battery control unit 130 and the battery monitoring unit 150, and between the slave battery control unit 130 and the current detection unit 140 is described below with reference to fig. 5 and 6.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention employing time division multiplexing. As shown in fig. 5, the abscissa is time t and the ordinate is frequency f. Wherein, the numbers 1 to n represent n paths of transmission, and each path of transmission comprises uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission. n is an integer greater than 1. As can be seen from fig. 5, n-channel transmission performs data transmission in the same frequency band (i.e., in the same channel), but the n-channel transmission occupies different time slots, i.e., the n-channel transmission performs data transmission in different time periods. And the uplink data transmission and the downlink data transmission of each path of transmission occupy different time slots. As shown in fig. 5, uplink 1 and downlink 1 are uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission of the 1 st transmission.
In the embodiment of the invention, the time division multiplexing technology is adopted, so that the mutual interference of signals and the external interference in the process of transmitting multi-channel data can be avoided, and the reliability of the energy storage module is improved. Specifically, the time division multiplexing technique may divide the time of a channel used for data transmission into a plurality of time slots, where each time slot may be used for transmitting one path of data, and each path of data is transmitted in its own time slot exclusively through the channel. The uplink data transmission and the downlink data transmission can be configured to use different time slots by using a time division multiplexing technology, that is, the uplink data transmission and the downlink data transmission can also adopt time division multiplexing.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which employs a frequency division multiplexing technique. As shown in fig. 6, in the schematic diagram using the frequency division multiplexing technique, the abscissa is time t and the ordinate is frequency f. Wherein, the numbers 1 to n represent n paths of transmission, and each path of transmission comprises uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission. n is an integer greater than 1. As shown in fig. 6, in the frequency division multiplexing technology, uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission may occupy different sub-bands (i.e., frequency bands occupying different frequencies). If uplink 1 indicates uplink data transmission of the 1 st transmission, downlink 1 indicates downlink data transmission of the 1 st transmission. The uplink 1 and the downlink 1 occupy different sub-bands to realize data transmission by using frequency division multiplexing technology.
In the embodiment of the invention, the frequency division multiplexing technology is adopted, so that the mutual interference of signals and the external interference in the process of transmitting multi-channel data can be avoided, and the reliability of the energy storage module is improved. Specifically, the frequency division multiplexing technique may divide a total bandwidth of a channel for data transmission into a plurality of sub-bands, where each sub-band may be used to transmit one path of data, and each path of data is transmitted in a respective sub-band. When the frequency division multiplexing technology is adopted to transmit data, the total bandwidth of a channel for data transmission can be larger than the sum of all the sub-frequency bands. In order to ensure that signals do not interfere with each other in the data transmission process of each sub-band, an isolation band can be arranged between two adjacent sub-bands.
In the present embodiment, in each energy storage sub-network 120, the current detection unit 140 and the plurality of battery monitoring units 130 are connected to the slave battery control unit using a time division multiplexing technique or a frequency division multiplexing technique.
In one embodiment, it is assumed that the number of the current detection units 140 included in one energy storage sub-network 120 is 1, the number of the battery monitoring units 150 is N, and N is a positive integer.
In this embodiment, the current detection unit 140 and the plurality of battery monitoring units 150 may use time division multiplexing to occupy N +1 different time slots for data transmission from the battery control unit 130.
In this embodiment, the current detection unit 140 and the plurality of battery monitoring unit 150 may use frequency division multiplexing to occupy N +1 different sub-bands for data transmission from the battery control unit 130.
In one embodiment, each current detection unit 140 may be configured to perform uplink data transmission or downlink data transmission with the slave battery control unit using a time division multiplexing technique or a frequency division multiplexing technique;
as an example, for one current detection unit 140 in the energy storage sub-network 120, the current detection unit 140 may utilize two different time slots or two different sub-bands for uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission with the slave battery control unit 130.
In one embodiment, a plurality of battery monitoring units 150 may be configured to perform uplink data transmission or downlink data transmission with the slave battery control unit using time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing.
As an example, for one battery monitoring unit 150 in the energy storage sub-network 120, the battery monitoring unit 150 may utilize two different time slots or two different sub-bands for uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission with the slave battery control unit 130.
According to the energy storage module of the embodiment of the invention, the communication connection between the slave battery control unit and the battery monitoring unit and between the slave battery control unit and the current detection unit can be changed from a wire transmission mode based on a wire harness to a wireless transmission mode based on a wireless network. This connection simplifies the complexity of the internal structure of the energy storage module and saves on the cost of the energy storage module.
In the above embodiments, the implementation may be wholly or partially realized by software, hardware, firmware, or any combination thereof. When implemented in software, may be implemented in whole or in part in the form of a computer program product or computer-readable storage medium. The computer program product or computer-readable storage medium includes one or more computer instructions. When loaded and executed on a computer, cause the processes or functions described in accordance with the embodiments of the invention to occur, in whole or in part. The computer may be a general purpose computer, a special purpose computer, a network of computers, or other programmable device.
