Background
For many energy storage products on the market, the hardware protection circuit board directly connected to the BATTERY pack is usually a pure hardware control, and the circuit board is used for controlling the on/off of the charging and discharging circuit of the BATTERY pack, and is also commonly referred to as a BMS (BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) board.

In some embodiments of the present application, based on the above technical solutions, the monitoring of the operating state of the battery pack includes:

and if the current sampling value is larger than the maximum value of the preset current threshold range, determining that the battery pack is in a charging state.

At the moment, the voltage parameter and the charging protection parameter of the battery pack are obtained, and whether the charging is stopped because the battery pack triggers the preset protection condition in the charging process can be judged according to the charging protection parameter, namely whether the charging is stopped is triggered by software. When the voltage parameter of the battery pack is greater than the preset voltage threshold, namely the battery pack has higher voltage and electric quantity at the moment, and the charging protection parameter does not meet the preset protection condition, the reason that the battery pack stops charging can be determined not to trigger software protection caused by the preset protection condition, but to trigger protection on hardware because the battery pack is already in a charging overvoltage state, so that the charging and discharging loop is directly disconnected. At this time, a charging stop command is output to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack. So, also synchronous trigger protection from software stops the output heavy current, can avoid hardware protection to resume the back, and battery package charging circuit resumes to switch on the back, because software does not protect, and the power conversion board exports great charging current to the battery package immediately and charges, makes hardware trigger protection once more again, so relapse, the hiccup phenomenon appears, leads to the battery package to be charged repeatedly.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic application environment of one embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the battery pack 10 is externally discharged or charged by an external power supply 30 through a power conversion circuit 40, and a BMS board 20 for managing charging and discharging of the battery pack is generally provided on the battery pack 10.
As shown in fig. 1, the battery pack 10 includes a plurality of battery cells 11. For example, the battery cells 11 may be connected in series to form the battery pack 10. It is understood that the battery cells 11 may also be connected in parallel, or in other combinations, to form a battery pack, which is not limited in this application.
The BMS board 20 electrically connected to the battery pack is generally disposed adjacent to or packaged in the battery pack, and the BMS board 20 includes a charging switching tube 22 and/or a discharging switching tube 22, i.e., a charging/discharging switching tube 22, disposed on a discharging circuit of the battery pack. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the charge/discharge switch 22 may be a MOS Transistor (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET, metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). In other embodiments, the battery pack may also be other devices having a switching function, such as an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) or a triode, etc. the BMS board 20 is further provided with an AFE chip 21 (analog front end) 21 for detecting a battery charging parameter, for example, for collecting a voltage, a current temperature, a temperature of the charge/discharge switching tube 22, and controlling the on/off of the charge/discharge switching tube 22, etc. it is understood that the analog front end chip 21 may accurately detect different charging parameters of the battery pack 10 on the BMS board 20, such as a voltage, a current, a temperature of the charge/discharge switching tube 22, etc.
The power conversion circuit 40 may be disposed on a circuit board to perform a voltage conversion function, such as ac-dc conversion or dc-dc conversion, to charge the battery pack 10 or discharge the electric energy of the battery pack 10 to the outside. The battery pack 10 is externally discharged and charged through the switching tube 220 and the power conversion circuit 40 on the BMS board 20. The external power source 30 charges the battery pack 10 through the power conversion circuit 40, and the circuit board on which the power conversion circuit 40 is located may be provided with an interface to access the external power source 30.
It is understood that the power conversion circuit 40, the BMS board 20, and the battery pack 10 may be integrated into the same device to form an energy storage device, or may be separate devices to form an energy storage system. Illustratively, the BMS board 20 and the battery pack 10 may form a separate battery device, the circuit board on which the power conversion circuit 40 is located may be a separate inverter device, different interfaces are provided on the inverter device for connecting the battery device, other external power sources and loads, the battery device is connected to the inverter device, the loads are powered through the inverter device, or the external power sources are charged, so that the external power sources, the inverter device and the battery device form an energy storage system.
It is understood that the power conversion circuit 40 further includes a controller (not shown in fig. 1) for executing the charging control method according to the embodiments of the present application.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the power conversion circuit 40 may be disposed on a different circuit board. For example, the related circuit of the ac/dc conversion part is disposed on the first circuit board to implement the ac/dc conversion function, and the related circuit of the dc/dc conversion part is disposed on the second circuit board to implement the dc conversion function, or other arrangements are adopted, which is not limited in this application.
It should be noted that, in the related battery technologies, the cell overvoltage information of the energy storage device of the battery pack 10 during the charging process often cannot be detected by software, such as a controller, and a hardware circuit directly disposed on the battery pack 10 in a synchronous manner in time, so that the battery pack of the energy storage device is still repeatedly and continuously charged in an overvoltage state. For example, the hardware over-voltage point of a single cell is 3.65V, and the software over-voltage point is 3.63V. Because the AFE chip on the BMS circuit board can directly detect the voltage of a single cell, when the BMS circuit board detects that the voltage of any cell exceeds 3.65V, hardware overvoltage protection is triggered and charging is stopped. For software protection, the control chip can only detect the voltage at the P + of the energy storage device of the power conversion circuit 40 as the total voltage of the energy storage device of the battery pack 10, and then determine whether the energy storage device of the battery pack 10 is overvoltage or not according to the average voltage obtained by the total voltage and the number of battery cores of the energy storage device. The cell voltage of the energy storage device of the battery pack 10 is often unbalanced when charging, so that the voltage of a certain cell may exceed 3.65V, and the average voltage detected by the control chip does not reach 3.63V, so that the control chip does not trigger a charging completion instruction, which causes the power conversion circuit 40 to continue to repeatedly charge the energy storage device of the battery pack 10 with a large current after the hardware overvoltage protection is removed, thereby causing damage to the energy storage device of the battery pack 10.
In order to solve the above problem, fig. 2 shows a flowchart of steps of a charging control method in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the charging control method is applied to a controller, the controller is disposed on a power conversion circuit, the power conversion circuit is connected to two ends of a battery pack, and the battery pack is discharged or charged through the power conversion circuit, and the charging control method mainly includes the following steps S100 to S400. The following describes each method step in the charge control method in detail.
And step S100, acquiring the access state of the external power supply.
Specifically, the purpose of the technical scheme of the application is to avoid the situation that the battery pack has reached an overvoltage state and is still repeatedly input with high-power current in the charging process, so that the access state of the external power supply needs to be acquired, that is, when the energy storage device is connected with the external power supply, the battery pack may be charged by overvoltage.
It is understood that the energy storage device may include the power conversion circuit 40, the BMS board 20, and the battery pack 10 shown in fig. 1. In other embodiments, the present scheme may be executed by a device independent of the power conversion circuit 40, which is not limited in this application.
The access state of the external power source may be determined by detecting the access of the external power source. For example, as mentioned above, the circuit board on which the power conversion circuit is located may be provided with a first interface for accessing an external power supply, and it may be determined whether the external power supply is accessed by detecting a change in voltage at the first interface.
And step S200, monitoring the working state of the battery pack when the access state indicates that an external power supply is accessed.
And when the power conversion circuit is monitored to be connected with an external power supply, monitoring the working state of the battery pack. The working state comprises a charging state, a standby state and a discharging state. The charging state is a state in which the battery pack acquires electric energy from an external power source through the power conversion circuit, the discharging state is a state in which the battery pack releases electric energy to an external device through the power conversion circuit, and the standby state is a state in which the battery pack neither externally acquires electric energy nor externally releases electric energy. The monitoring of the operating state of the battery pack can be realized by monitoring the current or voltage at the connection of the power conversion circuit and the battery pack, for example, by monitoring the voltage or current at P + in fig. 1.
Step S300, when it is monitored that the working state is switched from the charging state to the standby state, obtaining a voltage parameter and a charging protection parameter of the battery pack.
And when the working state of the battery pack is monitored to be converted from the charging state to the standby state, the battery pack stops charging. At this time, a voltage parameter and a charge protection parameter of the battery pack are obtained, wherein the voltage parameter can measure a current charge state of the battery pack, for example, whether the battery pack is fully charged. For the battery pack, a voltage threshold may be set, and when the voltage of the battery pack reaches the voltage threshold, it is indicated that the battery pack is nearly fully charged, and when the voltage of the battery pack exceeds the voltage threshold, it is determined that the battery pack is in an overvoltage state. It can be understood that, for software overvoltage protection, since the cell voltage of each cell in the battery pack cannot be directly obtained, the voltage parameter may be an average voltage of the cells in the battery pack. The charging protection parameter is used for judging whether a preset protection condition is triggered because the battery pack is in an abnormal state in the charging process, so that the battery pack stops charging. The charging protection parameters include, but are not limited to, an overcurrent protection value, an overvoltage protection value, an over-temperature protection value and the like of the battery pack during charging.
In step S400, when the voltage parameter is greater than the preset voltage threshold and the charging protection parameter does not satisfy the preset protection condition, a charging stop instruction is output to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack.
Specifically, when the voltage parameter of the battery pack is greater than the preset voltage threshold, that is, a certain electric core in the battery pack may already be in an overvoltage state at this time. Here, the preset voltage threshold is smaller than the voltage protection threshold in the preset protection condition, that is, smaller than the overvoltage protection value of the controller triggering the battery pack overvoltage protection.
On the premise, if the charging protection parameter does not meet the preset protection condition, it can be determined that the reason for stopping the charging behavior of the battery pack is not to trigger the preset protection condition, but to trigger the hardware protection due to the overvoltage, which indicates that the battery pack is already in the charging overvoltage state at this time.
At this moment, output stops charging instruction to power conversion circuit to control power conversion circuit and stop output charging current to battery package, can avoid hardware protection to resume the back, battery package charge circuit resume the back of switching on, because the software does not protect, power conversion circuit exports great charging current to battery package immediately and charges, makes hardware trigger protection again, so relapse, the hiccup phenomenon appears, leads to the battery package to be charged repeatedly.
According to the charging control method, when the condition that the energy storage device is connected to the external power supply is monitored, the working state of the battery pack in the energy storage device is monitored. When the working state of the battery pack is monitored to be converted from the charging state to the standby state, the charging behavior of the battery pack is stopped, namely the charging loop of the battery pack may be actually disconnected. At this time, the voltage parameter and the charging protection parameter of the battery pack are obtained, and whether the charging is stopped due to the fact that the preset protection condition is triggered in the charging process of the battery pack can be judged according to the charging protection parameter, namely whether the charging is stopped is triggered by software. When the voltage parameter of the battery pack is greater than the preset voltage threshold, namely the battery pack has higher voltage and electric quantity at the moment, and the charging protection parameter does not meet the preset protection condition, it can be determined that the reason why the battery pack stops charging is not software protection caused by triggering the preset protection condition, but protection is triggered on hardware because the battery pack is already in a charging overvoltage state, so that the charging and discharging loop is directly disconnected. At this time, a charging stop command is output to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack. So, also synchronous trigger protection from software stops to export heavy current, can avoid hardware protection to resume the back, and the battery package charging circuit resumes to switch on the back, because software does not protect, and the power conversion board exports great charging current to the battery package immediately and charges, makes hardware trigger protection again, so relapse, the hiccup phenomenon appears, leads to the battery package to be charged repeatedly.
Therefore, the charging control method provided by the application monitors the state conversion of the battery pack in the charging process, judges whether the battery pack is disconnected due to overvoltage or not according to the voltage parameter and the charging protection parameter of the battery pack, and stops outputting the charging current to the battery pack if the battery pack is disconnected due to overvoltage, so that the situation that the battery pack is repeatedly charged in the overvoltage state is avoided.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, the voltage parameter is a cell average voltage, the battery pack includes a plurality of cells, and the step S300 of acquiring the voltage parameter of the battery pack includes the following steps S301 and S302.
In step S301, the current total voltage of the battery pack is detected.
Step S302, calculating the average voltage of the battery cells according to the current total voltage of the battery pack and the number of the battery cells.
Specifically, the protection measures for preventing the battery pack of the energy storage device from being charged by overvoltage include software protection and hardware protection, and the overvoltage protection is triggered when the voltage of a single cell of the battery pack is greater than an overvoltage protection value. As shown in fig. 2, since the power conversion circuit performing software protection can only detect the total voltage of the battery pack at the P +, the voltage parameter used by the controller to determine whether the battery pack is overvoltage can only be an average parameter calculated according to the total voltage, rather than a directly measured single cell voltage. In the hardware protection, the sensor directly detects the voltage of a single battery cell, and as long as the single battery cell is overvoltage, the battery pack is judged to have reached an overvoltage state. It can be understood that since a hardware device performing hardware protection, such as the BMS board shown in fig. 1, is directly connected to the battery pack, the AFE chip thereof may be directly provided at each cell of the battery pack, and thus the voltage of an individual cell in the battery pack may be accurately detected.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, the charging protection parameters include the battery charging parameter and the charging failure parameter, and the obtaining of the charging protection parameters of the battery pack in the above step S300 includes the following steps S303 to S305.
In step S303, the charging temperature and the charging current of the battery pack during the charging process are detected to determine the charging parameters of the battery.
Specifically, during the charging of the battery pack, whether the battery pack is in a normal charging state during the charging is determined by detecting the temperature at P + and the magnitude of the output charging current on the power conversion circuit provided with the controller.
It can be understood that the magnitude of the charging current at B + at the BMS board is substantially the same as the magnitude of the charging current and the temperature at the power conversion circuit P +.
Step S304, detecting the working state of the power conversion circuit board to determine the charging fault parameters.
Specifically, by detecting the operating state of the power conversion circuit, such as detecting whether an excessive current/an excessive temperature exists in the conversion circuit, such as an inverter, in the power conversion circuit during the charging process, or a fan is blocked, or a bus is over-voltage, and the like, it can be determined whether the battery pack stops being charged due to the failure of the power conversion circuit.
In step S305, when the charging fault parameter matches the preset fault code, or the battery charging parameter is greater than or equal to the preset charging protection threshold, it is determined that the charging protection parameter meets the preset protection condition.
Specifically, when the controller detects that the detected power conversion circuit has an excessive current/an excessive temperature in the charging process, or a fan is blocked, or a bus is in overvoltage and the like, a preset fault code corresponding to the fault condition is generated, and the reason that the battery pack stops charging can be determined to be that a preset protection condition is met according to the preset fault code, namely, hardware protection is triggered due to the fault of the inverter. Or, when detecting that the temperature of the battery pack is too high/the charging current is too large in the charging process, the preset protection condition is also met, namely, the charging protection is triggered due to the abnormal charging state of the power conversion circuit or the battery pack.
Therefore, in the embodiment, the situation that the battery pack stops charging is traversed according to the charging temperature, the charging current and the working state of the inverter of the battery pack in the charging process, that is, if the situation meets the preset protection condition, the protection is triggered to stop charging the battery pack, and only when the preset protection condition is not met, the hardware protection may be triggered due to the overvoltage state, and the charging loop is cut off to stop charging.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, when the voltage parameter is greater than the preset voltage threshold and the charge protection parameter does not satisfy the preset protection condition in step S400, the step S401 and step S402 are included for outputting the stop-charging instruction to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack.
Step S401, obtaining the overvoltage detection time length.
Step S402, in the overvoltage detection time period, if the voltage parameter is continuously greater than the preset threshold value and the charging protection parameter continuously does not meet the preset protection condition, outputting a charging stopping instruction to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack.
Specifically, when the average voltage of the battery core of the battery pack continuously reaches the preset threshold value within a certain time period, and the condition that the preset protection condition is met does not exist, it may be determined that the battery pack reaches an overvoltage state to trigger hardware protection, so that the battery pack stops charging. It is to be understood that the time period may be 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, or the like, and is not limited in particular.
The embodiment avoids the situation that the battery pack is mistakenly judged as overvoltage to stop charging due to the voltage fluctuation of the battery pack in the charging process when the overvoltage detection time is too short, and also avoids the situation that the battery pack still repeatedly receives overlarge charging current in an overvoltage state due to the fact that the power conversion circuit cannot be timely controlled to stop outputting the charging current when the overvoltage detection time is too long.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, after the stop charging instruction is executed in the above step S400 to stop outputting the charging current to the battery pack, the method further includes the following step S403.
Step S403, assigning the state of charge of the battery pack to a full state, where the state of charge is used to reflect the remaining power of the battery pack.
In particular, since the voltage parameter of the battery pack is directly detected by the sensor and the response speed of the hardware protection triggered when the battery pack is over-pressurized may be faster than the response speed of the software protection performed by the controller. Therefore, when the controller determines that the battery pack stops charging due to overvoltage triggering hardware protection, the battery pack is full, at the moment, the state of charge of the battery pack is assigned to the full state from the non-full state, more accurate state of charge can be displayed, and user experience is improved.
Further, based on the above embodiment, after the above step S403, the method further includes the following step S404 after assigning the state of charge of the battery pack to the full state of charge according to the stop charging instruction.
Step S404, when it is detected that the external power source is disconnected and then reconnected and the state of charge of the battery pack is lower than the preset electric quantity threshold, outputting a charging instruction to the power conversion circuit to control the power conversion circuit to output a charging current to the battery pack.
Specifically, when the connection state of the energy storage device and the external power supply is monitored, the energy storage device and the external power supply are disconnected, the energy storage device and the external power supply are reconnected after a period of time, and meanwhile, the charge state of the battery pack is lower than a preset electric quantity threshold value, the energy storage device is considered to pass through a certain electric energy consumption process, and the battery pack in the energy storage device is no longer in a full-charge state, so that the energy storage device can be recharged, a charging instruction is output to the power conversion circuit, and the power conversion circuit is controlled to output charging current to the battery pack for charging. The preset electric quantity threshold may be 98%, 95%, 90%, or the like of the full electric state, and is not limited in this respect.
Therefore, the specific limiting condition for recovering the charging behavior after the battery pack stops the charging behavior due to overvoltage triggering hardware protection is provided by the embodiment, and the condition that the battery pack is damaged due to the fact that high-power charging current is input immediately after discharging due to some reasons of the battery pack under the continuous connection state of the energy storage device and the external power supply is avoided.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, the monitoring of the operating state of the battery pack in the step S100 includes the following steps S101 to S104.
And step S101, acquiring a current sampling value acquired by a sampling device.
Step S102, comparing the current sampling value with a preset current threshold range.
Step S103, if the current sampling value is within the preset current threshold range, determining that the battery pack is in a standby state.
And step S104, if the current sampling value is larger than the maximum value of the preset current threshold range, determining that the battery pack is in a charging state.
Specifically, the sampling device is arranged on the power conversion circuit board and used for sampling the current output by the power conversion circuit board to the battery pack. The current input into the battery pack through the charge-discharge switch is sampled through a sampler arranged on the power conversion circuit board, and if the current sampling value is within a preset current threshold range, the battery pack is determined to be in a standby state, namely, the battery pack does not have a charging behavior at the moment. For example, the preset current threshold may range from-1A to 1A, and may be determined according to the characteristics of the battery cell and the characteristics of the sampling device of the battery pack, and is not specifically limited herein. If the current sampling value is larger than 1A, the battery pack is determined to be in a charging state, and electric energy is obtained through the charging and discharging switching tube. The preset current threshold range is used for avoiding that the battery pack is misjudged to be in a charging state due to current sampling errors, namely, a sampling device can detect a certain current value due to the sampling errors even if the battery pack is in a standby state under normal conditions.
In addition, in other possible embodiments, the sampling current may be obtained by collecting a voltage drop across a sampling resistor connected to the battery pack and disposed on the power conversion circuit by a voltage sensor, and then calculating a current flowing through the sampling resistor according to the voltage drop.
