Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description, and it should be noted that any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below can be used to form a new embodiment without conflict.
The embodiment provides an intelligent battery equalization module, which can be applied to the field of batteries of electric vehicles or battery modules of other electric equipment.
As shown in fig. 3, the battery equalization module of the present embodiment at least includes a battery pack, an electric control switch, a capacity detection module and a control chip; the battery pack comprises a plurality of connected battery packs, and the plurality of battery packs can output electric quantity simultaneously or partially to provide corresponding electric energy for electric equipment. Meanwhile, the battery pack is also connected with a power module used for charging from an external power supply, and when the power module is started, all battery packs or a plurality of independent battery packs in the battery pack can be powered, so that the charging effect is realized.
The plurality of battery packs may be connected in series such that the currents flowing through the plurality of battery packs are the same. In addition, in this embodiment, can number every group battery, every group battery corresponds its unique serial number, can learn the series position of group battery in the battery package through this serial number to follow-up charge-discharge situation to individual group battery controls.
Each battery pack is connected with an independent electric control switch, namely one battery pack corresponds to one electric control switch, the electric control switches can be in a conducting or disconnecting state of the battery pack, if the electric control switch of a certain battery pack is closed, the battery pack is conducted, and voltage and current can be input or output; if the electric control switch of a certain battery pack is turned on, the battery pack is not conducted, and electric energy cannot be input or output.
Each battery pack is connected with an independent capacity detection module, and the capacity detection module is used for acquiring the battery capacity of each battery pack. In this embodiment, the capacity detection module includes a voltage acquisition unit and a processing unit; the two ends of each battery pack are connected with a voltage acquisition unit, the voltage acquisition units are used for acquiring voltage signals of each battery pack in the discharging process and acquiring a discharging characteristic curve of each battery pack in a mode of acquiring the voltage signals once every set time; in the discharging process of the battery pack, the change of the terminal voltage of the battery pack is divided into three stages, and the terminal voltage is sharply reduced in the initial discharging stage; in the middle discharge period, the terminal voltage is slowly reduced, when the later discharge period is close to the final discharge period, the terminal voltage of the battery pack is rapidly reduced in a short time, and the voltage acquisition unit acquires the voltage signal of each battery pack at set time intervals, so that the quality of the battery pack can be known according to the maintenance time in the middle discharge period.
The processing unit is connected with the voltage acquisition unit, the voltage acquisition unit of each battery pack transmits acquired voltage data to the processing unit, and the processing unit analyzes the time maintained by each battery pack in the middle discharge period according to the characteristic curve of the voltage of each battery pack along with the time change in the discharge process and calculates the battery capacity of each battery pack according to a capacity conversion formula.
Taking an aluminum iron phosphate battery as an example, the discharge voltage of the battery is 2.7-3.65V, wherein the relatively balanced voltage in the middle discharge period is 3-3.4V, and the battery capacity is calculated through the discharge process; if the discharge voltage of the battery pack with the number 1 reaches 3.4V, the recording start time T11 is started, and the discharge voltage of the battery pack with the number 1 is reduced to 3V, the recording end time T12 is recorded, so that the maintaining time of the battery pack with the number 1 in the middle discharge period is T12T 11; similarly, when the discharge voltage of the battery pack numbered 2 starts to reach 3.4V, the starting time T21 is recorded, and when the discharge voltage of the battery pack numbered 2 decreases to 3V, the ending time T22 is recorded, so that the maintaining time of the battery pack numbered 2 in the middle discharge period is T22-T21; after each battery pack obtains the data, the battery packs are sorted according to the size of the maintaining time, and the battery current is the same, so that the battery capacity of the battery pack with the longest maintaining time is the largest, and conversely, the battery capacity of the battery pack with the shortest maintaining time is the smallest.
The capacity detection module is connected with the input end of the control chip and used for receiving the battery capacity parameters of each battery pack sent by the capacity detection module and generating a corresponding control instruction according to the battery capacity of each battery pack; and the output end of the control chip is connected with the electric control switch of each battery pack and is used for controlling the switching state and the conduction sequence of each battery pack according to the control instruction.
In this embodiment, the control chip may sequence each battery pack according to the battery capacity of each battery pack, and after the sequencing, the difference between the highest battery capacity and the lowest battery capacity in the battery pack may be obtained, and the opening sequence of the electronic control switch corresponding to each battery pack is controlled according to the difference; in this embodiment, the conduction sequence of the electronic control switch corresponding to each battery pack is positively correlated to the battery capacity of each battery pack, that is, the conduction and discharge sequence of the battery pack with relatively large battery capacity is relatively preferred, and the conduction and discharge sequence of the battery pack with relatively small battery capacity is relatively later, so that the continuous discharge time of the battery pack is increased, as shown in fig. 4, the overall battery capacity of the battery pack in fig. 4 is significantly increased, thereby implementing a strategy of passive equalization and improving the charge and discharge performance of the battery pack.
In addition, a preset capacity threshold value can be recorded in the control chip in advance, and when the battery capacity of a certain battery pack is judged to be smaller than the capacity threshold value, the battery capacity of the battery pack is too small to be suitable for being used continuously, so that the battery pack is recommended to be disconnected, and the influence of the battery pack on the whole battery capacity is avoided. The specific principle is that when the battery capacity of a certain battery pack is judged to be smaller than the capacity threshold value, a disconnection instruction is sent to an electric control switch corresponding to the battery pack, so that current does not flow through the battery pack any more, and the battery pack with the excessively small battery capacity is discarded on the premise of not influencing the normal charging and discharging of a battery pack.
The control chip is connected with an alarm module, the alarm module can prompt that a battery pack with the too small battery capacity exists in the battery pack in a display mode, a voice mode or a short message sending mode, and meanwhile the number corresponding to the battery pack with the battery capacity smaller than a capacity threshold value is informed, so that maintenance personnel can directly find the position of the battery pack needing to be replaced according to the number of the battery pack, and the replacement and maintenance efficiency of the battery pack is improved. In addition, when the battery capacity of more than half or more than half of the battery packs in one battery pack is smaller than the capacity threshold value, the battery pack cannot work normally, and corresponding alarm information can be sent out to inform a user of directly replacing the whole battery pack.
In addition, the control chip can judge the service life of the battery pack according to the battery capacity of each battery pack, if the number of the battery packs with the battery capacities smaller than the capacity threshold value is small, the service life of the battery pack is relatively long, and if the number of the battery packs with the battery capacities smaller than the capacity threshold value is large, the service life of the battery pack is relatively short.
The alarm or prompt information can be displayed and reminded by a display module connected with the control chip, and in addition, the battery parameters of each battery pack and the whole battery pack can also be displayed and reminded by the display module connected with the control chip, wherein the battery parameters include but are not limited to the on-off state of each battery pack, the battery capacity of each battery pack, the output voltage and the output current of the whole battery pack, the battery capacity of the whole battery pack, the service life of the battery pack and the like. In addition, control chip still can be equipped with communication module, and control chip accessible communication module connects the high in the clouds, uploads all alarm data, the battery parameter of group battery, the battery parameter of battery package that the aforesaid was gathered to the high in the clouds and preserves, lets user or maintenance personal can know every group battery and the whole condition of battery package, provides the data foundation for its maintenance.
In the display module, the battery capacity of different battery packs can be represented by different identifiers, and specifically, the battery capacities of different battery packs can be represented by different colors or different patterns, for example, a battery pack with a battery capacity smaller than a capacity threshold is marked as red, and a battery pack with a battery capacity higher than or equal to the capacity threshold is marked as green; alternatively, the battery pack having a relatively short battery life may be marked in its entirety with red, and the battery pack having a relatively long battery life may be marked in its entirety with green.
In addition, the control chip is connected with a manual selection module, the manual selection module can be an input module such as a touch interactive screen or a mouse keyboard, and a user or a maintenance person can manually control the on-off state and the conducting sequence of the electric control switch corresponding to each battery pack in the input module of the touch interactive screen or the mouse keyboard lamp, so that the flexibility of the battery balancing module is improved. When the user turns on the electric control switch corresponding to the battery pack with the battery capacity lower than the capacity threshold value, the control chip automatically generates a prompt instruction, and pops up a prompt popup window in the display module to inform the user that the selection operation is abnormal, so that the user confirms the previous selection operation again. If the user determines the selection operation through the input module, the control chip cancels the prompt and executes the corresponding operation according to the operation selected by the user.
The scope of the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings and described, but also includes all embodiments that can bring about the equivalent effects to the present invention. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the combinations of features of the present invention specified in each claim, but may be specified by any desired combinations of specific features among all the disclosed features.
The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby, and any insubstantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
