All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, the drawing is a schematic structural diagram of a lithium battery heating device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, a lithium battery heating apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:
battery management system 300, self-heating power converter 200, and lithium battery 100.
In the embodiment of the present application, the lithium battery 100 may refer to one lithium battery 100, or may refer to a battery module including a plurality of lithium batteries 100 connected in series. As an example, the lithium battery 100 may include a lithium titanate battery 100, which has a large power influence by temperature, or other lithium batteries 100, which have a large power influence by temperature.
The lithium battery 100 and the self-heating power converter 200 are both connected with the battery management system 300, and the self-heating power converter 200 is connected with the lithium battery 100 in a closed loop.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the self-heating power converter 200 is connected to the lithium battery 100 in a closed loop, which means that, as shown in fig. 1, two ends of the self-heating power converter 200 are connected to two ends of the lithium battery 100 to form a complete current closed loop. It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the circuit formed by the closed-loop connection of the self-heating power converter 200 and the lithium battery 100 is a heating circuit for heating the lithium battery 100 in the present application. The lithium battery 100 is connected to the battery management system 300 so that the battery management system 300 obtains the temperature of the lithium battery 100. The self-heating power converter 200 is connected to the battery management system 300 so that the battery management system 300 controls the self-heating power converter 200.
Specifically, the battery management system 300 is configured to detect a temperature of the lithium battery 100, generate a first signal according to the detected temperature, and transmit the first signal to the self-heating power converter 200.
As a possible implementation, the battery management system 300 is specifically configured to: the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is detected, a first signal is generated according to the detected temperature, and the first signal is transmitted to the self-heating power converter 200.
During the detection process, specifically, when the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is lower than a first temperature threshold, a first signal for starting the self-heating power converter 200 is generated; generating a first signal to turn off the self-heating power converter 200 when the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is higher than a second temperature threshold; the first temperature threshold is less than the second temperature threshold; the first signal is sent to the self-heating power converter 200. In the battery management system 300 according to the embodiment of the application, after the self-heating power converter 200 starts heating, the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is still detected, and a first signal with a turn-off instruction is sent to the self-heating power converter 200 until the temperature of the lithium battery 100 reaches a second temperature threshold. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second temperature threshold may be adaptively set according to different types and different application scenarios of the lithium battery 100, where the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold of the lithium battery 100 are set. For a portion of the lithium battery 100, the second temperature threshold for the same lithium battery 100 will be greater than the first temperature threshold for the lithium battery 100. As an example, the first temperature threshold of the lithium battery 100 may be 0 degrees celsius and the second temperature threshold may be 5 degrees celsius. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first temperature threshold is the lowest operating temperature of the lithium battery 100, and when the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is lower than the first temperature threshold, it is difficult to meet the normal discharge power requirement; the second temperature threshold is a heating-off temperature of the lithium battery 100, and when the temperature of the lithium battery 100 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the discharge power of the lithium battery, which is attenuated by the temperature, is substantially recovered.
In order to heat the battery more flexibly, as a possible implementation manner, if the detected temperature does not reach the first temperature threshold of the lithium battery 100, a specific first signal may be generated according to the current temperature of the lithium battery 100, and the signal includes the target power of the self-heating power converter 200. The temperature rise rate requirements for lithium batteries may vary at different temperatures. For example, at lower temperatures, a higher target power may be set; at higher temperatures, a lower target power may be set. In the embodiment of the present application, a mapping relationship between the temperature of the lithium battery 100 and the target power of the self-heating power converter 200 may be pre-established, and according to the mapping relationship, the target power of the lithium battery heating apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application is adaptively adjusted along with the temperature change of the lithium battery 100.
The self-heating power converter 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application may not include a power source, but use the lithium battery 100 to be heated as a power source for heating. In order to avoid that the lithium battery 100 to be heated does not have enough heating power or the lithium battery 100 does not satisfy other conditions of charging and discharging, as a possible implementation manner, the battery management system 300 provided in the present application may be further configured to detect whether the lithium battery 100 satisfies charging and discharging conditions; and if the charging and discharging conditions are met, generating a first signal according to the detected temperature. As a possible embodiment, the charge and discharge condition may include that the lithium battery 100 does not have a fault and/or that the voltage value of the lithium battery satisfies a preset condition. Specifically, the preset condition may include that the voltage value of the lithium battery is within a preset charging and discharging interval, and the voltage difference between two adjacent lithium batteries in the same group is greater than a preset voltage difference.
The self-heating power converter 200 is configured to generate an ac charging/discharging current on the lithium battery 100 according to the first signal to heat the lithium battery 100. It can be understood that the self-heating power converter 200 of the present application adjusts the amplitude of the ac charging/discharging current formed on the lithium battery 100 by receiving the first signal transmitted by the battery management system 300, thereby adjusting the heating power of the lithium battery heating apparatus.
In order to verify the efficiency of heating, guarantee the security of heating battery, the lithium cell heating device that this application embodiment provided still includes: a current sensor and/or a voltage sensor communicatively coupled to the battery management system 300; the current sensor is used for measuring the current of the lithium battery 100 and sending the current to the battery management system; the voltage sensor is used for measuring the voltage of the lithium battery 100 and sending the voltage to the battery management system. It is understood that the voltage sensor and the current sensor in the embodiment of the present application are used to measure the voltage and the current of the lithium battery 100 to be heated. After receiving the measurement signals of the voltage sensor and the current sensor, the battery management system 300 determines whether the heating current of the lithium battery 100 to be heated is normal according to the measurement signals, so as to avoid the situations of battery damage and the like caused by the circuit failure.
As can be seen from the above, the apparatus provided by the present application includes a battery management system 300, a self-heating power converter 200, and a lithium battery 100. The battery management system 300 is configured to detect a temperature of the lithium battery 100, generate a first signal according to the detected temperature, and transmit the first signal to the self-heating power converter 200. The self-heating power converter 200 is configured to generate an ac charging/discharging current on the lithium battery 100 according to the first signal to heat the lithium battery 100. Therefore, the apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application heats the lithium battery 100 to be heated by forming the alternating charging and discharging current with the amplitude varying with the temperature on the lithium battery 100 to be heated. So, carry out direct heating to lithium cell 100, solve the too big problem of energy loss among the heat transfer process to the heating efficiency of lithium cell 100 has been improved.

the circuit comprises N full-bridge circuits and N groups of inductance elements, wherein each full-bridge circuit corresponds to one group of inductance elements, and each group of inductance elements comprises 2 inductance elements; each full-bridge circuit comprises 4 MOS tubes; n is an integer greater than 1.
For convenience of description, the present application is first described with reference to a self-heating power converter including a full-bridge circuit and a set of inductive elements corresponding to the full-bridge circuit:
referring to fig. 2, a block diagram of a self-heating power converter including a full-bridge circuit and a set of inductive elements is provided according to an embodiment of the present application.
Divided from the composition structure, the self-heating power converter provided by the embodiment of the application comprises: a full bridge circuit and a set of inductive elements. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the 2 inductance elements include a first inductance element L1 and a second inductance element L2; 4 MOS pipes include: first MOS transistor S1A second MOS transistor S2And the third MOS transistor S3And a fourth MOS transistor S4
In the embodiment of the present application, 2 inductance elements L1 and L2 included in a set of inductance elements corresponding to a full bridge circuit are located on 2 power supply diagonals of the full bridge circuit, respectively. The full-bridge circuit comprises 4 bridge arms, and each bridge arm comprises 1 MOS tube. As shown in FIG. 2, the MOS transistors are the first MOS transistor S on the first bridge arm1And a second MOS transistor S on the second bridge arm2A third MOS transistor S on the third bridge arm3And a fourth MOS transistor S on the fourth bridge arm4
Functionally, the self-heating power converter provided by the embodiment of the application comprises two regulating circuits. As shown in fig. 2, the first MOS transistor S1A second MOS transistor S2And the first inductance element L1 form a regulation circuit; third MOS transistor S3And the fourth MOS transistor S4And the second inductive element L2 form another regulating circuit.
As a possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, two regulating circuits are symmetrical to each other, and are used for generating currents with opposite direct current components and superposed alternating current components. It should be noted that, the symmetry of the two regulating circuits refers to the first MOS transistor S in the first regulating circuit1A second MOS transistor S2And a first inductance element L1, and a third MOS transistor S in the second regulating circuit3And the fourth MOS transistor S4Symmetrical to the second inductive element L2. I.e. the first MOS transistor S1And a fourth MOS transistor S4Is an identical MOS transistor, a second MOS transistor S2And a third MOS transistor S3The first inductance element L1 and the second inductance element L2 are identical inductance elements, which are identical MOS transistors.
It can be understood that, the present application makes the first regulating circuit and the second regulating circuit completely symmetrical, so that the first regulating circuit and the second regulating circuit respectively generate the first current i with opposite direct current components and superposed alternating current componentsB1And a second current iB2. First current i with opposite DC components and superposed AC componentsB1And a second current iB2In a lithium battery vB1And the direct current components of the charging circuit where the lithium battery is positioned are mutually offset, and the alternating current components are superposed to generate complete alternating current charging and discharging current. Therefore, the alternating current heating function of the lithium battery to be heated can be realized.
According to the first embodiment, the self-heating power converter provided in the embodiment of the present application may form ac charging and discharging currents with different amplitudes according to the first signal sent by the battery management system 300.

When the temperature of the battery changes, the duty ratio of the MOS tube adjusted according to the first signal can also be changed. Specifically, the higher the duty ratio, the larger the amplitude of the alternating charging and discharging current generated by the self-heating power converter, and thus the higher the heating efficiency of the lithium battery to be heated, the faster the heating speed. As an example, the amplitude of the current generated by the self-heating power converter may be I-T K, where I is the amplitude of the current, T is the temperature of the lithium battery, and K is the heating coefficient, and in particular K may be related to the ambient temperature of the lithium battery, the power of the self-heating power converter.
