The DCDC converter is a voltage converter that effectively outputs a fixed voltage after converting an input voltage. The DCDC converter is classified into a boost type DCDC converter, a buck type DCDC converter, and a boost type DCDC converter. The step-up type DCDC converter may be used to convert a low voltage into a high voltage, and the step-down type DCDC converter may be used to convert a high voltage into a low voltage.
The discharging mode of the storage battery to be charged can be that the storage battery to be charged supplies power to a working device of the vehicle and discharges in the driving process, or static power consumption is generated due to long-time parking or non-use of the vehicle, and the storage battery to be charged discharges. The output current and the output voltage of the storage battery to be compensated are respectively the current and the voltage of the storage battery to be compensated in the discharging process.
The condition that the storage battery to be supplemented is in a power-lack state can mean that the electric quantity of the storage battery to be supplemented is insufficient. When the storage battery to be compensated is in a power-deficient state, the load using the storage battery to be compensated as a power supply cannot obtain the rated voltage for normal operation.
In an exemplary embodiment, the above step S110 includes the following sub-steps:

The first preset threshold may be a battery charge amount threshold that is set by default by a vehicle including the battery recharging system before the vehicle is used by a user, and specifically, the first preset threshold may be 50%, 60%, or 70% of the charge amount of the battery to be recharged when the battery is fully charged.
As an optional embodiment, if the charge amount of the battery to be charged is 40Ah when the battery to be charged is fully charged, the first preset threshold may be 24Ah, if the charge amount output by the battery to be charged during the discharging process is greater than or equal to 24Ah, the battery to be charged is in a power-deficient state, and if the charge amount is less than 24Ah, the battery to be charged is not in the power-deficient state.
Step S120: and the battery manager controls the direct current relay to pull in through a single channel when the storage battery to be compensated is in a power-lack state, so that a voltage conversion circuit comprising the power battery, the direct current relay and the voltage converter is switched on.
In the embodiment of the present application, the dc relay may be an electric appliance that generates a predetermined step change in the controlled amount in the electric output circuit when the change in the input amount of the first electric voltage path meets a predetermined requirement. The direct current relay may be composed of an iron core, a coil, an armature, and a contact spring. When the direct current relay control circuit is used, a coil of the direct current relay can be electrified to enable the coil to generate an electromagnetic effect through current, so that the armature overcomes the tensile force of the spring to approach the iron core under the attraction of the electromagnetic force, and the movable contact and the fixed contact of the armature are driven to attract each other. When the coil is powered off, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the armature returns to the original position under the counterforce of the spring, so that the movable contact and the fixed contact are released. The circuit where the direct current relay is located can be switched on and off by attracting and releasing the direct current relay.
In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage converter may be a DCDC converter, and may be configured to convert a first voltage output by the power battery into a second voltage smaller than the first voltage.

Wherein CAN is a serial communication protocol certified by the international organization for standardization, and a CAN communication line may be used for the BMS battery manager and the dc relay communication.
The voltage conversion circuit can be formed by connecting a power battery, a direct current relay and a voltage converter in series, the voltage conversion circuit is conducted when the direct current relay is in a pull-in state, and the power battery can transmit first voltage to the voltage converter.
Step S130: and the voltage converter converts the first voltage output by the power battery into a second voltage to supplement the power to the storage battery to be supplemented under the pull-in state of the direct current relay, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.

The power battery can be a high-voltage storage battery and can be used for providing 380V voltage for equipment such as a driving system, and the first voltage can be 380V. The low-voltage storage battery charging power supply can be provided by a power battery, but since the power battery provides 380V, the low-voltage storage battery needs 13V to 14V, and therefore a voltage converter is needed to convert the 380V voltage output by the power battery into 14V voltage so as to supply power to the low-voltage storage battery.
It should be understood that, when the above-mentioned method is applied to different devices, the voltage values of the first voltage and the second voltage may be set according to actual requirements, and are not described in detail here.

The state of health of the power battery can be as follows: the working parameters of the power battery, such as voltage, current, battery temperature and the like, are in a normal range without damaging the power battery.
In this embodiment, the determination of whether the power battery satisfies the power supply condition according to the output current and the output voltage of the power battery may be: obtaining the output charge quantity of the power battery according to the output current and the output voltage of the power battery, determining whether the output charge quantity of the power battery is smaller than a second preset threshold value, if the output charge quantity of the power battery is smaller than the second preset threshold value, the power battery meets the power supply condition, and if the output charge quantity of the power battery is not smaller than the second preset threshold value, the power battery does not meet the power supply condition.

Step S240: the electric quantity accumulation calculation module detects the input current and the input voltage of the storage battery to be compensated, and determines whether the storage battery to be compensated meets the condition of stopping power compensation or not according to the input current and the input voltage of the storage battery to be compensated.
In this embodiment of the application, determining whether the battery to be recharged satisfies the condition of stopping recharging according to the input current and the input voltage of the battery to be recharged may be: after the power supply and the voltage converter are used for supplying power to the storage battery to be supplied, whether the sum of the supplied electric quantity and the residual electric quantity reaches the range of sufficient electric quantity of the storage battery to be supplied is determined. If the electric quantity of the storage battery to be supplemented is in the sufficient range, the storage battery to be supplemented is supplemented with electricity sufficiently, and the condition of stopping electricity supplementation is met. If the electric quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is not in the sufficient range, the power compensation of the storage battery to be compensated is not sufficient, and the condition of stopping power compensation is not met.
In an exemplary embodiment, the above step S240 includes the following sub-steps:

And if the input charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is smaller than the output charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated, the power compensation quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is smaller than the discharge quantity, the storage battery is not fully charged, and the condition of stopping power compensation is not met. And if the input charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is equal to the output charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated, the compensation quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is equal to the discharge quantity, and the storage battery to be compensated is fully charged at the moment, so that the condition of stopping power compensation is met.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a method for recharging a battery applicable to a vehicle according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The storage battery power supplementing method can be used in the normal use process of a vehicle and can also be used in the dormant state of the vehicle. The storage battery power supplementing method can comprise the following steps:
step S310: the electric quantity accumulation calculation module detects the output current and the output voltage of the storage battery to be compensated and determines whether the storage battery to be compensated is in a power shortage state or not according to the output current and the output voltage of the storage battery to be compensated.
As an alternative embodiment, the step S310 may be performed when the vehicle is in a sleep state. Specifically, the vehicle sleep state may refer to a state in which each device in the vehicle enters a low power consumption state after the vehicle is powered off after being locked, so as to avoid static high power consumption. When the vehicle is in a dormant state, the battery charging system in the vehicle only maintains a simple battery detection function, and other high-power-consumption loads in the vehicle are in an off state.

Specifically, because the static power consumption of the vehicle in the sleep state is relatively stable, the electric quantity accumulation calculation module can continuously detect the output currents of the storage battery to be compensated and the power battery at a fixed frequency; the electric quantity accumulation calculation module can also reduce the sampling rate in the process of detecting the output voltage of the storage battery to be compensated and the output voltage of the power battery to be compensated so as to save energy consumption.
In an exemplary embodiment, if the battery to be recharged is not in a state of low power, the vehicle continues to remain in a state of hibernation, and the battery recharging system in the vehicle continues to maintain a simple battery detection function.
Step S320: and the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends a first awakening instruction to the battery manager to awaken the battery manager when determining that the storage battery to be supplemented is in a power-shortage state.
When the electric quantity accumulation calculation module determines that the storage battery to be charged is in a power shortage state, the vehicle is still in a dormant state, and devices such as the battery manager and the voltage converter are not wakened up and start to work, so that the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends a first wake-up instruction to the battery manager, wherein the first wake-up instruction is used for enabling the battery manager to be wakened up and start to work.
In the embodiment of the application, the electric quantity accumulation calculation module does not need to send an instruction to a VCU of the vehicle control unit, and then the vehicle control unit wakes up the battery manager, but can send a first wake-up instruction to the battery manager through an LIN (Local Interconnect Network) communication line connected between the electric quantity accumulation calculation module and the battery manager, so that the battery manager is directly woken up, a communication link in a battery recharging process is shorter, the recharging process is faster, the vehicle control unit does not need to be used, and less energy is consumed. The LIN is a low-cost Serial Communication protocol based on UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)/SCI (Serial Communication Interface), and the LIN Communication line can be used for Communication between the electric quantity accumulation calculation module and the battery manager.
As an optional implementation manner, when the electric quantity accumulation calculation module determines that the storage battery to be compensated is in a power shortage state, the electric quantity accumulation calculation module may increase a sampling rate, so that the detection of the input charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated in the power compensation process is more accurate.

Step S340: and the battery manager controls the direct current relay to pull in through a single channel when the storage battery to be compensated is in a power-lack state, so that a voltage conversion circuit comprising the power battery, the direct current relay and the voltage converter is switched on.
Step S350: and the battery manager sends a second awakening instruction to the voltage converter when the storage battery to be supplemented is in a power-lack state so as to awaken the voltage converter.
When the electric quantity accumulation calculation module determines that the storage battery to be compensated is in a power shortage state and wakes up the battery manager, the vehicle is still in a dormant state, and devices such as the voltage converter and the like are not wakened up and start to work, so that the battery manager CAN send a second wake-up instruction to the voltage converter through a CAN communication line connected between the battery manager and the voltage converter, wherein the second wake-up instruction is used for enabling the voltage converter to be wakened up and start to work.
In the embodiment of the present application, the step of the battery manager controlling the dc relay to pull in through the separate channel may be executed simultaneously with the step of the battery manager sending the second wake-up instruction to the voltage converter, or may be executed before the step of the battery manager sending the second wake-up instruction to the voltage converter, which is not limited in this application.
Step S360: and the voltage converter converts the first voltage output by the power battery into a second voltage to supplement the power to the storage battery to be supplemented under the pull-in state of the direct current relay, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.
Step S370: the electric quantity accumulation calculation module detects the input current and the input voltage of the storage battery to be compensated, and determines whether the storage battery to be compensated meets the condition of stopping power compensation or not according to the input current and the input voltage of the storage battery to be compensated.
In an exemplary embodiment, if the storage battery to be recharged does not meet the condition of stopping recharging, the battery manager continues to control the direct current relay to keep a pull-in state through the single path, and the voltage converter continues to convert a first voltage output by the power battery into a second voltage to recharge the storage battery to be recharged, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.
Step S380: and the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends a power supplementing stopping instruction to the battery manager when determining that the storage battery to be supplemented meets the power supplementing stopping condition, so that the battery manager determines that the storage battery to be supplemented meets the power supplementing stopping condition when receiving the power supplementing stopping instruction.
In this embodiment of the application, the manner in which the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends the power supplement stopping instruction to the battery manager may be: and the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends a power supply stopping instruction to the battery manager through an LIN communication line connected between the electric quantity accumulation calculation module and the battery manager, wherein the power supply stopping instruction is used for enabling the battery manager to confirm that the storage battery to be supplied meets the condition of stopping power supply and starting to execute the operation of stopping continuing power supply.

When the storage battery to be compensated meets the condition of stopping power compensation, the storage battery to be compensated CAN not be charged any more, and the awakened equipment CAN enter the dormant state again in the process of power compensation of the storage battery to be compensated, so that the battery manager CAN send a dormant instruction to the voltage converter through a CAN communication line connected between the battery manager and the voltage converter, wherein the dormant instruction is used for enabling the voltage converter to enter the dormant state.
Step S3100: and when the storage battery to be compensated meets the condition of stopping power compensation, the battery manager controls the release of the direct current relay through an independent channel so that the power battery stops compensating the storage battery to be compensated.
In this embodiment of the application, the step of sending the sleep command to the voltage converter by the battery manager may be executed simultaneously with the step of controlling the release of the dc relay by the battery manager through the separate path, or may be executed prior to the step of controlling the release of the dc relay by the battery manager through the separate path, which is not limited in this application.
Step S3110: the battery manager enters a sleep state.
After the battery manager sends a sleep instruction to the voltage converter and controls the direct current relay to release through the single channel, or after the battery manager detects that the voltage converter enters the sleep state and the direct current relay is in the release state, the battery manager automatically enters the sleep state.
As an optional implementation manner, before the battery manager automatically enters the sleep state, the battery manager may send a power consumption reduction instruction to the power accumulation calculation module through a LIN communication line connected between the power accumulation calculation module and the battery manager, where the power consumption reduction instruction is used to cause the power accumulation calculation module to reduce the sampling rate, so as to save energy consumption.
As an optional embodiment, since there may be an error in the detection of the output charge amount and the input charge amount of the battery to be charged by the electric quantity accumulation calculation module, the battery to be charged may be charged once for a preset time period every preset interval time. For example, when the electric quantity accumulation calculation module confirms that the input electric charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is equal to the output electric charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated, the power compensation is stopped, but due to the error of the electric quantity accumulation calculation module, the input electric charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is actually smaller than the output electric charge quantity of the storage battery to be compensated, and the storage battery to be compensated is not fully charged, so that the storage battery to be compensated can be compensated for 4 hours every other week, the storage battery to be compensated is ensured to be fully charged actually, and the accuracy of the electric quantity of the storage battery to be compensated is improved. It should be understood that after the preset mileage is driven by the vehicle, the power of the battery to be powered can be supplied for a preset time period, which is not limited in the present application.
In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in a sleep state and the electric quantity accumulation calculation module determines that the storage battery to be compensated is in a power-deficient state, the electric quantity accumulation calculation module wakes up the battery manager, sends a power compensation instruction to the battery manager, and then wakes up the voltage converter by the battery manager; when the electric quantity accumulation calculation module determines that the storage battery to be compensated meets the condition of power compensation stopping, the electric quantity accumulation calculation module sends a command of power compensation stopping to the battery manager, the battery manager sends a sleep command to the voltage converter, and then the battery manager enters a sleep state.
Just awaken the equipment in the battery power supply system through treating when the tonifying electricity battery is in insufficient voltage state to make the equipment of awakening up get into the dormant state again when waiting to mend the electricity battery and satisfying the condition of stopping the tonifying electricity, avoid awakening the equipment in the battery power supply system when waiting to mend the electricity battery and need not mend the electricity, the energy in the time of saving waiting to mend the electricity battery and need not mend the electricity, consequently, the energy that consumes when the method that this application provided can reduce the battery and mend the electricity, the higher problem of energy consumption when alleviating the battery and mended the electricity.
