Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Example 1
The embodiment of the invention provides a control method of parallel battery packs, which comprises the following steps:
s1) determining a master unit corresponding to the battery management systems of the parallel battery packs, wherein the battery management systems that are not determined as the master unit are determined as slave units of the master unit;
s2) feeding back branch detection data of a battery pack corresponding to a first battery management system to the main control unit, where the branch detection data includes a branch current of the battery pack corresponding to the first battery management system, and the first battery management system may be one or more battery management systems;
s3) receiving a control command sent by the master control unit through a second battery management system, where the control command is determined by the master control unit through the branch detection data, the first battery management system and the second battery management system are both determined as the slave units, the second battery management system may be one or more battery management systems, and the first battery management system and the second battery management system both belong to the battery management systems of the parallel battery packs;
s4) adding or exiting the battery pack corresponding to the second battery management system into a main loop according to the control instruction, wherein the main loop comprises the parallel battery pack and load equipment, or the main loop comprises the parallel battery pack and charging equipment.
In some embodiments, the parallel connection system further includes a parallel connection battery pack, a charging device and a load device, where the parallel connection battery pack and the charging device, or the parallel connection battery pack and the load device, may form a main loop, the parallel connection battery pack includes at least two battery packs, the battery pack may be a lithium battery pack, such as a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, the battery pack may include a battery module and a switch connected in series, the battery module and the switch may be in a branch of the parallel connection system, the switch includes a charging switch and a discharging switch, the battery module, the discharging switch and the charging switch may be connected in series on the branch in sequence, the discharging switch is further connected in parallel with one diode (not called as a first trigger diode) and an anode of the first trigger diode is connected with a cathode of the battery module, the charging switch is further connected in parallel with another diode (not called as a second trigger diode) and a cathode of the second trigger diode is connected with the first trigger diode The battery management system is connected with the battery module and can be used for monitoring various parameters such as the voltage and the charge state of the battery module, the battery management system is also used for acquiring branch current detection data of the branch and controlling the on-off state (the off state or the on state) of a charging switch and a discharging switch when any trigger diode is triggered to be switched on so as to enable the branch to be added into or withdrawn from a main loop, the battery management system can be realized by an instruction processing system, such as a battery protection circuit board (a protection board for short) with a single-chip Microcomputer (MCU), the battery management system can be configured with a judgment instruction corresponding to the battery protection condition, and whether the branch detection data such as the voltage and the current of the battery pack triggers the battery protection or not can be determined by the judgment instruction And (4) protecting the conditions.
As shown in fig. 2, when the battery pack is used alone, after the voltage or current (i.e. branch current) of the battery pack triggers the battery protection conditions such as battery overcharge, charging overcurrent, high or low charging temperature, etc., the charging switch may be turned off, the discharging switch may be turned on, and the current direction may be limited by the second trigger diode, so that the charging may not be continued; after the battery protection conditions such as over-discharge, over-current discharge, high-temperature or low-temperature discharge and the like of the trigger battery are met, the charging switch is closed, and the discharging switch is opened, so that the current direction is limited by the first trigger diode and the discharging is not continued.
As shown in fig. 3, when a plurality of battery packs are used in parallel, because there is no communication between the battery packs, if all the battery packs trigger the over-discharge protection, the charging still needs to be performed according to the control steps when the single (battery) pack is used, but because any one trigger diode needs a certain voltage difference for conduction, and the parallel connection cannot ensure that the corresponding diodes in the plurality of battery packs are conducted at the same time, it is difficult to simultaneously add all the battery packs into the main loop, i.e., it is difficult to simultaneously put all the battery packs into use, which causes unbalanced battery charging distribution, and there is a situation that the single pack bears the current of the whole parallel system, and it is likely that the charging over-current protection will be directly triggered, so that any one battery pack cannot be used.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the main control unit corresponding to the battery management system of the parallel battery pack may be determined first, where the states of the branches where the battery modules and the switches are located in the parallel battery pack may be that the main circuit is already added, the main circuit is not yet added, or the main circuit is exited after the addition. When the battery management systems are used in parallel, communication addresses (namely, communication addresses of the battery management systems) of the protection boards corresponding to the plurality of battery packs CAN include an address 1, an address 2, an address 3 and the like; the method comprises the steps that a first communication address corresponding to a battery management system in a parallel battery pack can be determined on any battery management system; and if the battery management system corresponding to the second communication address is determined to be the main control unit corresponding to the battery management system of the parallel battery pack, or if any communication address sequenced before the sequencing of the first communication address is determined not to exist, the battery management system corresponding to the first communication address is determined to be the main control unit corresponding to the battery management system of the parallel battery pack. In some cases, there may be one or more communication addresses according to the battery management system existing in the actual situation before the communication address of the current battery management system is sorted, when there are multiple communication addresses, the communication address at the top of the order may be taken and the battery management system corresponding to the top communication address may be determined as the master control unit, thereby, the battery management systems which are not successfully communicated in actual situations, such as communication faults or battery faults, may be sequentially eliminated, the determined master control unit is responsible for receiving feedback data and issuing instructions to each battery management system, for example, the protection board with address 1 serves as the host, the remaining protection boards send the collected data to the protection board with address 1, the data is processed by the protection board 1, if the protection board with address 1 fails to communicate, the protection board with address 2 serves as the host, and so on.
In some cases, as shown in fig. 5, the main control unit may include an instruction processing system independent from any battery management system, such as a separately configured industrial control board, a controller, a server, a touch screen or a central control screen with an instruction processing system, or a central control system, and the like, and for example, the main control unit may be implemented on a charging device, and the charging device may have an instruction processing system, and the instruction processing system may be configured for the aforementioned main control unit, and may perform serial port communication or local area network communication with any battery management system.
The method can select how to obtain branch detection data such as current and voltage according to a detection structure of a specific parallel system, for example, the main control unit can detect the current on each branch in the parallel system, the main control unit can also receive the branch detection data fed back by the battery management system on each branch, and the feedback operation can be performed according to the characteristics of the detection circuit on the used protection board, and the current detection circuit can be passively and directly fed back to a current detection interface of the main control unit or a digital logic circuit or a chip for detecting the current to actively perform timing feedback.
As shown in fig. 6, the main control unit may sum and process the current in the branch detection data, obtain a charging current direction as positive (e.g. note identification value +1), a discharging current direction as negative (e.g. note identification value-1), and a current magnitude as 0 (e.g. note identification value 0), the main control unit may receive the current detection data, determine whether the current magnitude is 0, determine whether the current direction is the current direction of the charging current, determine whether the current direction is the current direction of the discharging current, record each identification value, then calculate the sum of the identification values, and may determine the charging or discharging activation state of the parallel system according to the sum of the identification values; for example, if a battery pack with a conducting loop exists in the parallel system and only one battery pack conducting loop exists, the battery pack may be considered to be in a charging or discharging activated state, at this time, the main control unit may determine an identification value (which may be recorded in correspondence with the protection board identification identifier or in correspondence with the communication address) according to a branch current direction in the branch detection data, for example, the sum of the identification values may be +1 (as shown in fig. 4, three branches may be +1, -1, +1, or +1, -0, or 0, and 0 may represent that a current is zero), obtain that the current state of the parallel system is the charging activated state, further determine a control instruction corresponding to the branch detection data through the main control unit, and issue the control instruction to each battery pack not in the charging activated state; correspondingly, if a battery pack of a conducting loop exists in the parallel system and only one battery pack conducting loop exists, the battery pack can be regarded as being in a charging or discharging activation state, at the moment, the main control unit can determine an identification value according to the branch current direction in the branch detection data, if the sum of the identification values is-1, the current state of the parallel system is a discharging activation state, further, a control instruction corresponding to the branch detection data can be determined through the main control unit, and the control instruction is issued to each battery pack which is not in the discharging activation state; in some practical cases.
The switch regarded as the battery pack in the charging activated state may not be controlled to be closed by the battery management system of the switch but to be added to the main loop, and the diode may be turned on to form a conductive loop, so that the issued control command may also be simultaneously sent to the battery pack regarded as the battery pack in the charging activated state, so that all the battery packs in the parallel system may be simultaneously added to the main loop, that is, the slave unit obeys the control of the master unit and is added to the main loop in parallel, the first battery management system may correspond to the battery pack in which the conductive loop exists, and the second battery management system may correspond to the battery pack in which the conductive loop does not exist or to the battery pack not in the charging or discharging activated state (i.e., the charging activated state or the discharging activated state).
In still other practical operations, after the charging device is connected, the main control unit determines that the current state of the parallel system is a charging activation state, and after the battery management system with the conduction loop feeds back branch detection data, a control instruction corresponding to the charging activation state can be issued to each battery management system, so that all battery packs are added into the main loop by the respective battery management systems; correspondingly, after the load device is connected, the main control unit determines that the current state of the parallel system is a discharge activation state, and after the battery management system with the conduction loop feeds back branch detection data, a control instruction corresponding to the discharge activation state can be sent to each battery management system, so that all battery packs are added into the main loop by the respective battery management systems; it is required to provide that, under the condition of normal full charge or discharge, any battery management system can operate the charge switch and the discharge switch due to full charge or discharge of the battery pack, and feed back the current full charge or discharge state of the battery pack to the main control unit, and the main control unit can also issue a control instruction to other battery management systems in a similar manner, so as to realize that all the battery management systems exit the main loop.
The master unit or slave unit (which may have been activated at this time) may be configured or selected for use in accordance with specific usage scenarios, such as processor computational performance, overhead of instruction execution: determining a branch current of a battery pack corresponding to a first battery management system; and determining a first charging or discharging activation state of the battery pack corresponding to the first battery management system according to the current direction of the branch current. The battery management system as a slave unit may feed back branch circuit detection data having the branch circuit current and the first charge or discharge activation state to the master unit.
The aforementioned control instruction may be used to control the second battery management system to change a second charging or discharging activation state to a charging or discharging activation state that is the same as the first charging or discharging activation state, where the second charging or discharging activation state is a charging or discharging activation state of a battery pack corresponding to the second battery management system. Specifically, according to the control instruction, the second battery management system is controlled to actively (with respect to the fact that the diode is triggered to be conducted) switch the on-off state of the switch on the current branch to the on-off state of the main loop, where the current branch is a branch where the battery pack corresponding to the second battery management system is located, for example, the main control unit obtains information that the parallel system is charging, and sends the charging control instruction to other battery packs, and after receiving the control instruction, the other battery packs close the discharge switches, so that all the battery packs are added to the main loop, and all the battery packs are put into use, and the purpose of simultaneous activation can be achieved.
In some implementations, when the aforementioned battery management systems are in any one of the activated states, that is, the protection board is activated, the current direction of each battery pack can be determined independently at this time, so that the battery management system can obtain the current activated state, specifically the charging activated state, or specifically the discharging activated state, according to the current direction.
After the protection plates are activated or when each battery pack is in a state of being connected to the main loop, each battery management system can separately perform protection monitoring on the corresponding battery pack, and determine that branch detection data acquired by any one battery management system triggers a battery protection condition, wherein the battery pack to be isolated corresponding to any one battery management system is in a charging or discharging activation state, and the branch detection data acquired by any one battery management system includes the voltage and/or the branch current of the battery pack to be isolated; and exiting the battery pack to be isolated out of the main loop through any one battery management system. If the battery management system detects that a single battery pack is discharged and overflows, the battery pack corresponding to the battery management system exits the main loop, the battery management system detects that the single battery pack is overvoltage/undervoltage, the battery pack corresponding to the battery management system exits the main loop, if the battery pack corresponding to each battery management system exits the main loop because of triggering a battery protection condition, when a control instruction for adding the main loop into the main control unit is received, the control instruction can be configured to be ignored or temporarily ignored, and fault state information can be optionally fed back to the main control unit.
In some cases, all the remaining battery packs can be selectively and actively isolated and protected according to the fault type of the isolated battery pack, so that further damage to more battery packs caused by serious faults of ultrahigh temperature or large current and the like can be avoided. Specifically, the isolation instruction sent by the main control unit is received by the remaining battery management systems, wherein the isolation instruction is determined by the branch detection data acquired by the main control unit through any one of the battery management systems, and the remaining battery management systems are battery management systems other than any one of the battery management systems in the battery management systems corresponding to the battery pack added to the main loop; and exiting the battery packs corresponding to the rest of the battery management systems from the main loop according to the isolation instruction, wherein the exiting of the main loop can be realized by executing the disconnection operation of a discharge switch and/or a charge switch by the battery management system.
