Description

Load charging method and device for automobile, storage medium and terminal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to a load charging method and device for an automobile, a storage medium and a terminal.
Background
A Direct Current to Direct Current (DCDC) converter is an important part of an automobile and is used to supply power to all low-voltage devices on the automobile. For example, automobiles are typically equipped with 12 volt (V) batteries that are wired to the DCDC module as a load to obtain power support from the DCDC module. The wire is usually copper wire, and there is resistance when transmitting power, thus generating power loss.
When the energy consumption of the automobile is too large, the power supply of a single DCDC module to the load can cause the problem of insufficient charging due to the power loss caused by the resistance of the wire.
Some types of existing cars are provided with two DCDC modules connected in parallel, but depending on the size of the load, not all start-up at once is required. The vehicle control unit of the existing automobile only selects one of the two DCDC modules to charge the load at a time. For example, two DCDC modules correspond to a high command voltage side and a low command voltage side, respectively, and the DCDC module on the high command voltage side is selected to supply power to the high command voltage side when the voltage difference of the load is large, and the DCDC module on the low command voltage side is selected to supply power to the low command voltage side when the voltage difference of the load is small.
Although such a processing scheme can satisfy the service life requirement of each DCDC module, when the DCDC module on the high command voltage side enters an overcurrent protection state (output current limiting control), there is a problem that the voltage drops to a value smaller than the output voltage of the DCDC module on the low command voltage side. This may result in the DCDC module on the low command voltage side not being able to efficiently supply power to the load, so that the load is under powered, and the output regulation of both DCDC modules is deteriorated.

Detailed Description
As noted in the background, there are drawbacks to the control logic of existing vehicles when using DCDC modules to power a load, resulting in degraded output regulation of the DCDC module.
In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a load charging method for an automobile, including: monitoring a pressure differential of the load; and sending a charging instruction to the first DCDC module and the second DCDC module according to the monitoring result so as to charge the load.
The embodiment controls the two DCDC modules to supply power to the load together based on the charging instruction. Therefore, the output regulation of the DCDC module can be effectively prevented from deteriorating, the service life of components can be prolonged, and the balance of output current can be regulated.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a load charging method for an automobile according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The automobile can be an electric automobile or a fuel cell electric automobile.
The load can be a low-voltage device on an automobile, such as an on-board battery (12V battery).
The present embodiment may be implemented by a vehicle Control Unit (HV-ECU, where the ECU is an abbreviation of an Electronic Control Unit) of an automobile.
In particular, the vehicle may include two DCDC modules, respectively designated as a first DCDC module and a second DCDC module. The two DCDC modules are respectively arranged in a three-in-one module and a Power Control Unit (PCU for short) of the automobile. The three-in-one module is an important part in a charging system of a fuel cell electric automobile, and integrates a charging function, a DCDC function and an energy distribution function.
More specifically, the loads are respectively coupled to the first and second DCDC modules by wires.
The first DCDC module is disposed in the PCU, and the second DCDC module is disposed in the triad module.
Further, referring to fig. 1, the method for charging a load of an automobile according to the present embodiment may include the following steps:
step S101, monitoring the pressure difference of the load;
and step S102, sending a charging instruction to the first DCDC module and the second DCDC module according to the monitoring result so as to charge the load.
For example, the vehicle control unit may determine whether charging to the load is required by monitoring the pressure difference of the load, and execute the step S102 when the determination result indicates that charging is required.
In one implementation, a charging action start time of the first DCDC module to the load is different from a charging action start time of the second DCDC module to the load. That is, for the load side, the load may receive power from the first DCDC module and power from the second DCDC module sequentially. Reflected to the DCDC module side, the two DCDC modules can be regarded as working in sequence.
Further, the service life of the DCDC module with the earlier charging action starting time to the load is longer than that of the DCDC module with the later charging action starting time to the load. In general, since the DCDC module provided in the PCU has a long life, the first DCDC module is operated first and the second DCDC module is operated later in this embodiment.
Further, the two DCDC modules can work in sequence through hardware coupling, and can also be controlled by software.
In one implementation, the charging instruction may be sent to a first DCDC module and a second DCDC module simultaneously, and a wire length of a wire coupling the first DCDC module and the load is different from a wire length of a wire coupling the second DCDC module and the load.
Specifically, the difference in wire length of the wires directly affects the equivalent resistance value of the wires, which also results in the voltage drop loss of the first DCDC module to the load being different from the voltage drop loss of the second DCDC module to the load.
Accordingly, when two DCDC modules respond to the charging command simultaneously to supply power to the load, the times at which the power of the two DCDC modules reaches the load via the respective connected conductors are staggered.
Therefore, for the DCDC module side, the two DCDC modules simultaneously respond to the charging instruction of the whole vehicle controller; for the load side, the electric power provided by the two DCDC modules is received successively, which is equivalent to that the two DCDC modules are started successively.
For example, the longer life first DCDC module has a shorter length of wire between it and the load, so that the first DCDC module operates first. Accordingly, the length of the wire between the second DCDC module and the load is long, so that the power supply of the second DCDC module reaches the load later than the power supply of the first DCDC module.
Further, by adjusting the specific wire length of the wire, the time when the power supply of the second DCDC module reaches the load can be just the time when the power supply of the first DCDC module is insufficient to meet the power demand of the load.
In one variation, the charging command is sent to a first DCDC module and a second DCDC module simultaneously, and a resistance between the first DCDC module and the load is different from a resistance between the second DCDC module and the load.
For example, the resistance between the first DCDC module and the load is small, so that the first DCDC module operates first. Accordingly, the resistance between the second DCDC module and the load is large, so that the second DCDC module operates afterwards.
Further, by adjusting the specific value of the resistor, the time when the power supply of the second DCDC module reaches the load is just the time when the power supply of the first DCDC module is insufficient to meet the power demand of the load.
The above embodiment of implementing the two DCDC modules to operate sequentially based on the wire length or the resistance of the wire may be understood as an embodiment implemented based on hardware control.
In a common specific implementation manner of the two embodiments, the charging instruction value indicated by the charging instruction sent to the first DCDC module may be equal to the charging instruction value indicated by the charging instruction sent to the second DCDC module. For example, the charging command is only one, and the vehicle control unit sends the charging command to the first DCDC module and the second DCDC module at the same time.
Fig. 2 is a system diagram of an exemplary application scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, a resistor R1 is disposed between the first DCDC module 21 and the load 23, and a resistor R2 is disposed between the second DCDC module 22 and the load 23. Assume that the output voltage of the first DCDC module 21 is V1 and the output current is I1, and the output voltage of the second DCDC module 22 is V2 and the output current is I2.
Accordingly, in the context of the present application, the vehicle control unit may adjust the output current I1 of the first DCDC module 21 and the output current I2 of the second DCDC module based on equation (1).
V1-I1×R1=V2-I2×R2 (1)
Fig. 3 to 5 show output current variation graphs when the first DCDC module 21 and the second DCDC module 22 respectively use different output voltages V1 and V2 to charge the load 23 in the present application scenario. Assuming that R1: R2 is 1:2, in fig. 3 to 5, the abscissa represents the current load required by the entire vehicle system, and the ordinate represents the load that the DCDC module can output.
Fig. 3 is a graph illustrating a change in output current when the output voltage V1 is equal to V2 is equal to 14.4V; fig. 4 is a graph showing the change of the output current when the output voltage V1 is 14V and the output voltage V2 is 14.4V; fig. 5 is a graph showing changes in output current when the output voltage V1 is 14.4V and the output voltage V2 is 14V. The dashed lines in fig. 3 to 5 represent the load current required by the entire vehicle system.
As can be seen from a comparison of fig. 3 to 5, when V1 is V2 is 14.4V, the output currents of the two DCDC modules are distributed according to the ratio of the resistance values R1 and R2 under the condition that the required load of the entire vehicle system is shown by a dotted line. When V1 is 14V, V2 is 14.4V, the system starts to start, and power is preferentially output from the second DCDC module (as shown in fig. 4); conversely, when V1 is 14.4V, V2 is 14V, the system starts to start, and power is preferentially supplied from the first DCDC module output (as shown in fig. 5).
In a variation of this embodiment, the charging instruction may be sent to the first DCDC module and the second DCDC module sequentially. That is, the time-sharing starting of the two DCDC modules can be realized in a software control manner.
For example, the vehicle control unit may generate and transmit a corresponding charging command for a DCDC module that needs to be operated first. Further, when the differential pressure of the load exceeds the power supply capacity of the DCDC module which works first, the vehicle control unit generates a corresponding charging instruction for the other DCDC module and sends the charging instruction, so that the two DCDC modules supply power to the load together.
Further, the charging instruction value indicated by the charging instruction sent to the first DCDC module may be different from the charging instruction value indicated by the charging instruction sent to the second DCDC module. Therefore, the vehicle control unit can determine the charging instruction more accurately according to the real-time pressure difference of the load, and the load overcharge can be avoided.
In a variation, the step S102 may include the steps of: and sending a charging command to the first DCDC module and the second DCDC module when the monitoring result shows that the voltage difference of the load exceeds the charging limit of the single DCDC module. That is, the vehicle control unit may determine the power demand of the load according to the voltage difference of the load, and when the power demand of the load exceeds the charging limit of a single DCDC module, the vehicle control unit determines that the two DCDC modules need to be controlled to supply power to the load together.
By adopting the embodiment, the output regulation of the DCDC module can be effectively prevented from deteriorating, the service life of components can be prolonged, and the balance of output current can be regulated.
