The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the features in the following embodiments and examples may be combined with each other without conflict.
The invention aims to provide a management method of a low-voltage lithium battery of an electric automobile and a complete automobile power supply switching method aiming at the defects of the prior art.
Example one
The embodiment provides a management method of a low-voltage lithium battery of an electric vehicle, as shown in fig. 1, including the steps of:
s1, judging whether the IBS of the battery sensor is awakened or not, if so, executing a step S3; if not, executing the step S2;
s2, judging whether the preset timing awakening time is up, if so, executing a step S3;
s3, acquiring data information which is monitored by a battery sensor IBS and related to the low-voltage lithium battery, judging whether the acquired data information related to the low-voltage lithium battery is normal or not, and if so, not processing; if not, executing the step S4;
and S4, sending the abnormal information to a VCU of the vehicle control unit, and carrying out corresponding processing.
The embodiment provides a low-voltage lithium battery management system for replacing a traditional lead-acid starting battery. The low-voltage lithium battery is a power type battery, the low-voltage lithium battery management system can monitor basic information such as temperature, monomer voltage and charging and discharging current of the lithium battery in real time, the running state of the lithium battery is determined through battery state of charge (SOC) evaluation, and battery health (SOH) is evaluated.
The low-voltage lithium battery comprises the following components: a lithium battery structural case, a battery management system BMS, a current sensor, a temperature sensor, a battery heating PTC, a wire harness, a connector, and the like. Wherein, the low pressure lithium cell adopts 1P4S lithium iron phosphate core, output voltage scope: 10V to 14.8V; the low-voltage lithium battery is adopted to replace the lead-acid storage battery of the original whole vehicle to provide a low-voltage power supply for the whole vehicle, and the low-voltage power-on function of the whole vehicle is supported within the full temperature range.
A battery protection board in the low-voltage lithium battery has the function of controlling a charging switch, a discharging switch and a PTC heating switch, and the discharging control of the battery protection board is a normally closed switch. The charging switch and the PTC heating switch are normally open switches. Namely, before the whole vehicle is not dormant or electrified, the low-voltage lithium battery continuously provides a low-voltage power supply for the whole vehicle.
In this embodiment, the IBS can independently control the charge switch and the discharge switch. The discharging switch is a normally closed switch, and the charging switch is a normally open switch.
In step S1, it is determined whether the battery sensor IBS is woken up, if so, step S3 is performed; if not, executing the step S2;
the battery sensor IBS is awakened in two ways, one is that the vehicle is awakened (including key awakening and charging awakening), and the IBS is also awakened at the same time; the other method is that after the whole vehicle is powered down at a low voltage, a timing awakening time interval is set through a mobile phone APP, and when the timing awakening time is reached, the IBS is awakened.
If the current voltage is low, the IBS is waken based on the wake-up time interval, and step S2 is performed.
In step S2, it is determined whether a preset timed wakeup time is reached, and if so, step S3 is performed.
And when the vehicle is in low voltage, if the current IBS is not awakened, further judging whether the awakening time interval arrives, if not, continuing to wait, and if so, executing the step S3.
It should be noted that the wakeup time in this embodiment may be set by the APP, and if not, a default timing wakeup time, such as 30 minutes, is adopted.
In step S3, data information related to the low-voltage lithium battery monitored by the battery sensor IBS is acquired, and whether the acquired data information related to the low-voltage lithium battery is normal is determined, and if yes, no processing is performed; if not, step S4 is executed.
In step S4, the abnormal information is sent to the vehicle control unit VCU, and corresponding processing is performed.
The data information related to the low-voltage lithium battery specifically includes the cell voltage, the temperature, the SOC and the like of the low-voltage lithium battery.
If the awakening of the current IBS is after the awakening through the vehicle:
and when the IBS is awakened, the IBS is powered on at the moment, and the data of the cell voltage, the temperature, the SOC, the current and the like of the battery are monitored in real time.
When the IBS detects that serious faults such as thermal runaway, over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage and SOC abnormity occur in the low-voltage lithium battery, a corresponding fault code is sent to the VCU, meanwhile, the main relay is required to be disconnected, the 12V lithium battery enters a fault mode, and the fault mode is cleared after power is turned off.
If the current is in the low-voltage power-down state of the whole vehicle:
and after the timing awakening time of the IBS is up, the IBS is awakened, and key parameters such as the cell voltage, the temperature, the SOC and the like of the battery are monitored. And if the abnormality is not found, the IBS enters a sleep mode and waits for timing awakening or low-voltage power-on of the whole vehicle again. If the monitored voltage or temperature of the single body is too low, the IBS awakens the whole vehicle through the CAN network and requests the VCU to start the DCDC to charge the lithium battery; if the monitored temperature is too low, the IBS controls the PTC heating switch to be closed, and the PTC is heated through the DCDC; and if the monitored SOC of the low-voltage lithium battery is smaller than a set initial value, starting the DCDC to charge the low-voltage lithium battery at constant current, and the low-voltage lithium battery management system regulates charging current by requesting the DCDC to output a voltage value, so that the safety of the charging process is ensured.
In the embodiment, the IBS monitors information such as the cell voltage, the temperature and the SOC of the low-voltage lithium battery, and when any information is detected to be abnormal, corresponding information and fault alarm information are sent to the VCU in real time, so that the safety and the reliability of the low-voltage lithium battery in the working process are ensured.
Compared with the prior art, the embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
1. the low-voltage lithium battery protection board is used for monitoring and protecting the low-voltage lithium battery of the vehicle, and the safety and the reliability of the lithium battery in the working process are ensured.
2. The lithium battery is ensured not to have the undervoltage problem caused by long-term standing through the timing monitoring and intelligent power-on functions.
3. The IBS can detect the voltage of the battery monomer in real time, has the functions of overvoltage and undervoltage classification alarm, and sends the monomer voltage information and the fault alarm information to the VCU in real time; in the same way, the IBS can realize the function of graded alarm of temperature, SOC and current and upload related data in real time.
4. IBS can adjust the output voltage of the DCDC of the whole vehicle, and ensure that the charging current meets the design requirement of the battery core;
5. IBS manages the low-voltage lithium battery to work in an ideal engineering environment, and compared with the traditional storage battery, the service life of the low-voltage power supply battery of the whole vehicle is prolonged.
6. The low-voltage lithium battery with the IBS management function has the advantages of small size, light weight and the like, reduces the weight of the whole vehicle, and improves the endurance of the whole vehicle.
