In the related art, in order to facilitate the power supply side to charge the battery corresponding to each BMS at the same time, a plurality of charging interfaces are often set in the power utilization device, and accordingly, when the power utilization device is charged, a user also needs to use a plurality of power supply sides to be connected with the charging interfaces respectively, and after the connection is established between the plurality of power supply sides and the plurality of charging interfaces, the power supply sides are communicated with the BMS, so that synchronous charging of the plurality of batteries is realized, and the user does not need to switch the connection between the power supply sides and different charging interfaces. But the mode of the multi-charging-point interface brings the trouble of searching a power supply party for a user. Taking an example that the electricity utilization device is a vehicle, when the vehicle comprises two BMSs and two charging interfaces respectively corresponding to the two BMSs, a user needs to find two charging piles to charge batteries respectively corresponding to the two BMSs at the same time; or, the user charges the vehicle by self-building the charging piles, and two charging piles are also required to be built, which in turn increases the vehicle use cost of the user. Therefore, in the related art, a plurality of independent BMSs, because the battery corresponding to each BMS needs to be charged independently, the user needs to plug the power supply facilities and the arrangement lines of the corresponding power supply party, the charging process is complicated, and the charging duration and the user waiting duration are increased as a whole.

Specifically, when the electric device needs to be charged, the control module may be respectively connected to each BMS in a communication manner, so as to obtain charging parameter information of one or more batteries, and further determine first target charging parameter information by combining each charging parameter information. Next, the control module transmits first target charging parameter information to the charging post so that the charging post charges each first target battery according to the first target charging parameter information without manually switching the communication connection BMS with the charging post by a user. Meanwhile, the control module controls the charging loop where each first target battery is located to be conducted, so that one or more batteries are respectively charged through one charging pile, and the charging process is effectively simplified.

In addition, because the battery that corresponds respectively for a plurality of BMSs in the power consumption device can be charged simultaneously through charging control device, consequently, the user only need find a charging stake, both can realize the battery that corresponds respectively for a plurality of BMSs in the power consumption device through once operation and charge, effectively simplify the charging process, reduce the duration of charging and reduce user's waiting duration. In addition, based on the embodiment of the application, the user does not need to additionally establish and use redundant charging piles, so that the cost of the user is saved.

In addition, the charging control device can comprise a shell, and materials with protective functions can be adopted through the shell, so that the problem that the external environment influences the performance of parts in the charging control shell can be solved, and the possibility of performance failure of the parts in the charging control shell is reduced.

The charging control device, the method, the electronic device and the readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a charging control device according to an embodiment of the present application, and, with reference to fig. 1, the charging control device 100 includes an input module 110, a charging switch module 120, and a control module 130.

The input module 110 is used for being connected with a charging pile, the charging switch module 120 is used for being connected with at least one battery, each battery corresponds to one battery management system BMS, and the control module 130 is respectively connected with each BMS and the charging pile in a communication mode;

the control module 130 is configured to obtain charging parameter information of at least one battery, determine first target charging parameter information according to each charging parameter information, and determine at least one first target battery, where the first target battery is a battery that the BMS allows the charging pile to charge;

the control module 130 is further configured to send first target charging parameter information to the charging pile, and control a charging loop where each first target battery is located to be turned on, so that the charging pile charges each first target battery according to the first target charging parameter information.

Specifically, in the charging control device, the input module 110 may be a charging interface of an electric device, for example, the input module 110 may be an inlet of a charging gun of a charging post, and the charging post may charge a battery to be charged through the input interface 110. One or more BMSs may be included in the power consuming device, and batteries are one-to-one corresponding to each BMS. When the number of BMSs is plural, the batteries corresponding to each BMS are independent from each other.

It will be understood that in embodiments of the present application, a plurality refers to two, or more than two. Reference to a battery in embodiments of the application may refer to a single physical module that includes one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may include a battery module or a battery pack, or the like. The battery generally includes a case for enclosing one or more battery cells. The battery cell may include, but is not limited to, a lithium ion secondary battery cell, a lithium sulfur battery cell, a sodium lithium ion battery cell, a sodium ion battery cell, a magnesium ion battery cell, or the like.

The charging switch module 120 may be connected to a plurality of batteries in the power device, and conduct a charging circuit where the battery to be charged is located when the battery needs to be charged.

The control module 130 in the charging control device may be in communication connection with the charging pile and the BMS in the electricity consumption device, respectively, wherein the communication connection manner includes, but is not limited to, wired communication connection and wireless communication connection. Optionally, under the condition that the communication connection mode is wired communication connection, the communication connection can be performed through the low-voltage wire harness, and the low-voltage wire harness transmits the communication signals sent by the charging pile and the communication signals sent by the BMSs. In the case where the communication connection is a wireless communication connection, the communication connection may be, but not limited to, bluetooth, wireless lan, infrared communication, or the like.

In an alternative embodiment, after the charging post establishes a communication connection with the control module 130, the control device 130 may send a charging request to each BMS in the electricity using device in response to the connection with the charging post, so that each BMS determines whether to allow the charging post to charge the battery corresponding to its own system. Based on this, communication of the charging stake with a plurality of BMSs is achieved.

In another alternative embodiment, after the charging stake establishes a communication connection with the control module 130, the charging stake may send its own power information to the control device, such as, but not limited to, the following: charging pile identification, maximum output current of the charging pile, maximum output voltage of the charging pile and the like. The control device 130 may use the power supply information as a part of the charging request after receiving the power supply information of the charging post, so that the BMS determines whether to allow the charging post to charge the battery corresponding to the own system according to the power supply information. Wherein, BMS can combine the factors such as there is difference, battery performance variation of different batteries in the use between the different battery individuals, judge whether current charging stake can satisfy the charge demand of the battery that self system corresponds to under the circumstances that satisfies the charge demand, allow charging stake to the battery that self system corresponds to, and under the circumstances that does not satisfy the charge demand, not allow charging stake to the battery that self system corresponds to, thereby improve battery charging process's reliability, reduce to cause life-span decay faster, overcharge, battery uniformity is less than the damage such as.

After the BMS receives the charging request, the control module 130 may send charging parameter information to the control module 130, and after receiving the charging parameter information, the control module 130 may collect the charging parameter information sent by each BMS, and determine total charging parameter information required by the power device, that is, the first target charging parameter information. It can be understood that, after the BMS receives the charging request, if the charging pile is not allowed to charge the battery corresponding to the self system, the BMS may send the information of rejecting the charging to the control module 130.

With continued reference to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows two battery management systems BMS1 and BMS2 included in the power consumption device, where BMS1 corresponds to battery 1 and BMS2 corresponds to battery 2. The control module 130 may receive the charging parameter information transmitted by the BMS1 and the charging parameter information transmitted by the BMS2, and aggregate the charging parameter information transmitted by the BMS1 and the charging parameter information transmitted by the BMS2 to thereby obtain first target charging parameter information.

After determining the first target charging parameter information, the control module 130 may send the first target charging parameter information to the charging pile, and control the charging loop where each first target battery is located to be turned on, so that the charging pile charges each first target battery according to the first target charging parameter information. Thereby, it is achieved that a single charging peg charges the battery corresponding to each of the plurality of BMSs.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the electric device needs to be charged, the control module can be respectively connected with each BMS in a communication way, so that the charging parameter information of one or more batteries can be obtained, and the first target charging parameter information is determined by combining each charging parameter information. Next, the control module transmits first target charging parameter information to the charging post so that the charging post charges each first target battery according to the first target charging parameter information without manually switching the communication connection BMS with the charging post by a user. Meanwhile, the control module controls the charging loop where each first target battery is located to be conducted, so that one or more batteries are respectively charged through one charging pile, and the charging process is effectively simplified.

In some embodiments, the power switch module 120 includes N parallel branches, a first end of each branch being connected to the input module, and a second end of each branch being respectively for connection to a battery; each branch comprises a switch submodule; each of the switch sub-modules is communicatively coupled to the control module and is configured to perform an on or off operation in response to a first control signal from the control module.

It is understood that N is a positive integer, the charging switch module 120 may include one or more parallel branches, and in case that the charging switch module 120 includes a plurality of parallel branches, the charging control device may charge a plurality of batteries respectively corresponding to the plurality of BMSs.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another charging control device according to an embodiment of the present application, and in combination with the schematic structural diagram shown in fig. 2, the power consumption device includes two BMSs, and batteries corresponding to the two BMSs respectively. In the charge switch module 120, a first end of each of the branches is connected to the input module 110 so that a charging current of the charging post flows into the branch. The second end of each branch is connected with the corresponding battery of different BMSs respectively, and in combination with the illustration of fig. 2, the second end of the branch where the switch sub-module 121 is located is electrically connected with the corresponding battery 1 of BMS1, and the second end of the branch where the switch sub-module 122 is located is electrically connected with the corresponding battery 2 of BMS 2. Alternatively, the switch sub-module may include, but is not limited to, a controllable switching element such as a relay.

In the power consumer 100, each switching submodule may be communicatively connected to the control module 130, i.e. the control module 130 controls the switching submodule to be switched on or off by means of the first control signal. The first control signal may include a switch-on signal, and may send the switch-on signal to the switch sub-module when the switch sub-module corresponds to the battery requiring charging, so as to turn on the charging circuit where the battery is located. The first control signal may also include a switch-off signal, where the switch-off signal may be sent to the switch sub-module when the switch sub-module is required to stop charging corresponding to the battery, so as to switch off the charging loop where the battery is located.

For example, continuing to take an example that two BMSs are included in the power consumption device and batteries corresponding to the two BMSs respectively, in connection with fig. 2, the control module 130 may send a first control signal to the switch sub-module 121 and the switch sub-module 122, respectively, in case that the charging pile is allowed to charge the battery 1 and the battery 2, and at this time, the switch on signal is included in the first control signal.

In still another example, in a case where the charging stake is allowed to charge the battery 1 and the charging stake is not allowed to charge the battery 2, the control module 130 may send a first control signal to the switch sub-module 121, at which time the switch on signal is included in the first control signal; alternatively, the control module 130 may not send the first control signal to the switch sub-module 122, where the switch sub-module 122 remains in the off state, and the control module 130 may send the first control signal to the switch sub-module 122, where the first control signal includes the switch off signal, and still keeps the switch sub-module 122 in the off state.

According to the embodiment of the application, the battery connected with the branch can be charged by controlling the switch sub-module included in each branch to be turned on or turned off. In addition, in a plurality of parallel branches, the on/off of the switch submodule in each branch can be flexibly controlled according to the charging requirement of the battery corresponding to each branch, so that the convenience of charging the power utilization device is improved.

In some embodiments, each leg further comprises a battery protection module; in each branch, each battery protection module is connected in series between the first end and the switch submodule; each battery protection module is conducted unidirectionally, and the current conduction direction of each battery protection module flows from the first end to the second end.

As a specific embodiment, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of still another charging control device according to an embodiment of the present application, and in combination with fig. 3, two BMSs are included in the power consumption device, and the two BMSs respectively correspond to the batteries. In the charge switch module 120, a first end of each of the branches is connected to the input module 110 so that a charging current of the charging post flows into the branch. The second end of each branch is connected with batteries corresponding to different BMSs respectively, and the battery protection module is connected in series between the first end and the switch sub-module. As shown in fig. 3, the battery protection module 123 is connected in series between the first end and the switch sub-module 121, and the battery protection module 124 is connected in series between the first end and the switch sub-module 122.

Specifically, each battery protection module is conducted unidirectionally, and the current conduction direction of each battery protection module is from the first end to the second end, so that the problem of circulation between batteries can be solved. Particularly, after the battery is charged, the problem of overcharging of the battery is solved by solving the problem of circulation current between the batteries.

and step 530, the first target charging parameter information is sent to the charging pile, and the charging loop where each first target battery in the charging control device is located is controlled to be conducted, so that the charging pile charges each first target battery according to the first target charging parameter information.

The above steps are described in detail below, and are specifically described below.

The above steps 510 and 520 are involved, and different BMSs in the electricity consumption device are respectively connected with the charging control device in a communication manner, and the charging parameter information is transmitted by the BMSs in the electricity consumption device. The power consumption device may include a plurality of BMSs, and different BMSs correspond to different batteries, respectively. It is understood that M is a positive integer.

As a specific example, in case that the BMS needs to be charged in the power consumption device, the charging parameter information may be actively transmitted to the charging control device; the charging control device can send a charging request to each BMS in the electricity utilization device, and the BMS in the electricity utilization device can feed back charging parameter information to the charging control device after receiving the charging request. Optionally, after the BMS receives the charging request, if the charging pile is not allowed to charge the battery corresponding to the system of the BMS, the BMS may include the information of refusing to charge in the charging parameter information sent to the control module 130, or may not feed back the charging parameter information.

The power utilization device comprises a plurality of BMSs, and if each BMS allows the current charging pile to charge the battery corresponding to the system, M is equal to M; if part of BMS in the BMS allows the current charging pile to charge the battery corresponding to the system of the BMS, M is smaller than M.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the charging control device performs aggregation according to the received charging parameter information, and determines the total charging parameter information required by the power consumption device, that is, the first target charging parameter information. The charging control device may also determine, based on the received charging parameter information, a battery that is permitted to be charged, that is, the first target battery.

Thereby, it is achieved that a single charging peg charges the battery corresponding to each of the plurality of BMSs.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the electric device needs to be charged, the first target charging parameter information and the first target battery needing to be charged are determined by acquiring the charging parameter information of one or more batteries and combining each charging parameter information. Next, through sending first target charging parameter information to the charging pile to make the charging pile charge to every first target battery according to first target charging parameter information, need not the manual switching of user and charging pile communication connection BMS, simplified the operation of charging. Meanwhile, the control module controls the charging loop where each first target battery is located to be conducted, so that one or more batteries are respectively charged through one charging pile, and the charging process is effectively simplified.

In some embodiments, before acquiring the charging parameter information of the M batteries, the method further comprises:

Illustratively, the charging post may include a charging gun that a user may control to connect with an input interface of the charging control device so that the charging post may charge the battery through the charging control device. The charging control device may be in communication connection with the charging post, wherein the communication connection manner includes, but is not limited to, wired communication connection and wireless communication connection. After the charging pile and the charging control device establish communication connection, power supply information of the charging pile can be obtained, and the charging pile can send power supply information of the charging pile to the control device, for example, the power supply information includes but is not limited to the following information: charging pile identification, maximum output current of the charging pile, maximum output voltage of the charging pile and the like.

The charging control device transmits a charging request to each BMS in the electricity consumption device in response to the connection with the charging stake, so that each BMS determines whether to allow the charging stake to charge the battery corresponding to the own system. Alternatively, after acquiring the power supply information of the charging pile, the charging control device may use the power supply information as a part of the charging request, so that the BMS determines whether to allow the charging pile to charge the battery corresponding to the system according to the power supply information. Wherein, BMS can combine the factors such as there is difference, battery performance variation of different batteries in the use between the different battery individuals, judge whether current charging stake can satisfy the charge demand of the battery that self system corresponds to under the circumstances that satisfies the charge demand, allow charging stake to the battery that self system corresponds to, and under the circumstances that does not satisfy the charge demand, not allow charging stake to the battery that self system corresponds to, thereby improve battery charging process's reliability, reduce to cause life-span decay faster, overcharge, battery uniformity is less than the damage such as.

According to the embodiment of the application, after the charging control device establishes connection with the charging piles, the charging request information is sent to the M BMSs, and the user does not need to manually switch the BMSs in communication connection with the charging piles, so that the communication between the charging piles and the BMSs is realized.

Based on the above embodiments, the BMS in the electricity consumption device may feed back the charging parameter information to the charging control device, so that the charging pile outputs the charging current.

In some embodiments, each of the charging parameter information comprises a first charging current for each of the batteries, the first target charging parameter information comprising a first target charging current;

specifically, referring to step 520 described above, determining the first target charging parameter information according to each charging parameter information may specifically include step 5201 and step 5202.

Step 5201, determining a first number of first target batteries and a first charging current of each first target battery;

in step 5202, a first target charging current is determined based on the minimum charging current of the first charging currents and the first number of first target batteries.

Illustratively, the first charging current in the charging parameter information may include, but is not limited to, a current range allowed for battery charging, a maximum current value allowed for battery charging, and the like.

The charging control device can determine the first target battery to be charged according to the received charging parameter information, and obtain the first charging current corresponding to each first target battery, so that the minimum charging current in the required charging battery can be obtained.

The first target charging current is obtained by determining the minimum charging current of the m first charging currents and calculating the product of the minimum charging current and the number of the first target batteries.

Optionally, the first target charging parameter information may further include a charging voltage of the battery, wherein the charging voltage of the charging post needs to be greater than the voltage of the battery.

According to the embodiment of the application, the first target charging current is determined by determining the first number m of the first target batteries and the minimum charging current in the m first charging currents. Based on the above, when the charging pile outputs the charging current based on the first target current, the problem that the battery may have overcurrent can be solved, so that the reliability of the charging process is improved, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.

In some embodiments, after sending the first target charging parameter information to the charging pile and controlling the charging loop where each first target battery in the charging control device is located to be turned on, the charging control method further includes steps 601 to 603.

Step 601, receiving charging completion information of n second target batteries, wherein the second target batteries are charged batteries in m first target batteries, and n is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m;

step 602, in response to the charging completion information of the n second target batteries, sending second target charging parameter information to the charging pile, so that the charging pile charges each first target battery according to the second target charging parameter information; the method comprises the steps of,

and 603, controlling the charging loops where the n second target batteries are located to be disconnected.

Specifically, referring to step 601, the second target battery is a charged battery in the m first target batteries, and after the second target battery is charged, the BMS corresponding to the second target battery may send charging completion information to the charging control device, so that the charging control device timely disconnects the charging loop, so as to reduce the occurrence of overcharge of the second target battery.

The number of the second target batteries may be 1 or more, and it is understood that the number of the second target batteries is less than or equal to the number of the first target batteries.

Next, referring to the above-described steps 602 and 630, the charge control device transmits second target charging parameter information to the charging post in response to the charging completion information of the second target battery, so that the charging post charges each of the first target batteries according to the second target charging parameter information.

For example, the second target charging parameter information may include a preset charging current, and the preset charging current is smaller than the first target charging current. Alternatively, the preset charging current may be determined according to a working current range in which the switching submodule in the charging control device normally performs switching.

When the charging loop where the second target battery is located is controlled to be disconnected, the method specifically may include controlling a switch sub-module in the charging loop where the second target battery is located to be disconnected, so as to disconnect the charging loop. Optionally, the switch sub-module includes a switching element such as a relay.

According to the embodiment of the application, after receiving the charging completion information of the second target battery, the second target charging parameter information is sent to the charging pile, and the preset charging current is smaller than the first target charging current because the preset charging current is included in the second target charging parameter information, so that the output current of the charging pile can be reduced. And then, the charging loops where the n second target batteries are positioned are controlled to be disconnected, so that a switch sub-module in the charging loops can be protected, the service life of the switch sub-module is prolonged, and the reliability of charging the batteries is improved.

In some embodiments, after controlling the charging circuits of the n second target batteries to be disconnected, the method may further include step 604 and step 605.

Step 604, determining third target charging parameter information according to charging parameter information corresponding to each third target battery when n is smaller than m, wherein the third target battery is an unfinished charged battery in the first target battery;

step 605, sending third target charging parameter information to the charging pile, so that the charging pile charges the battery which is not charged in the first target battery according to the third target charging parameter information.

Specifically, in the case where n is smaller than m, it is explained that among the m first target batteries, a battery whose charging is not completed is further included, and for convenience of description, the battery whose charging is not completed among the m first target batteries is hereinafter referred to as a third target battery.

Then, the charging control device may automatically determine the charging parameters required by the remaining third target battery, obtain third target charging parameter information, and send the third target charging parameter information to the charging pile, so that the charging pile charges the battery which is not charged in the first target battery according to the third target charging parameter information.

According to the embodiment of the application, after the charging loop where the second target battery is located is disconnected, the charging parameter information is determined again and sent to the charging pile, so that the battery which is not charged in the first target battery is charged continuously, the charging parameter can be automatically adjusted without manual operation of the charging battery by a user, the charging process is effectively simplified, and the convenience is improved.

In some embodiments, determining the third target charging parameter information according to the charging parameter information corresponding to each third target battery includes:

Specifically, the number of the first target batteries is m, the number of the second target batteries is n, and the second number corresponding to the third target batteries can be obtained through calculation.

Alternatively, the charging parameter information corresponding to each third target battery may be transmitted to the charging control device by the BMS. For example, after the charging control device establishes connection with the charging pile every time, the charging control device sends a charging request to each BMS, the BMS feeds back charging parameter information of a battery corresponding to the system of the BMS to the charging control device, and the charging control device caches the charging parameter information of each battery until the charging is completed, and the charging control device can select to keep or delete the charging parameter information in the cache.

In the embodiment of the application, the charging control device may obtain third charging parameter information corresponding to each third target battery from the cache, so as to obtain a second charging current corresponding to each third target battery. The second charging current may include, but is not limited to, a current range allowed by battery charging, a maximum current value allowed by battery charging, and the like.

Next, the second target charging current is obtained by determining the smallest charging current among all the second charging currents, and calculating the product of the smallest charging current and the number of the third target batteries.

In the embodiment of the application, the second target charging current is determined according to the minimum charging current in the second charging current and the second number of the third target battery by acquiring the number of batteries which are not charged in the first target battery and acquiring the minimum charging current in the second charging current of the batteries which are not charged. Based on the method, the output current of the charging pile can be updated in time, and when the charging pile outputs the charging current based on the second target current, the problem that the battery possibly has overcurrent can be solved, so that the reliability of the charging process is improved, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.

In some embodiments, in charging each first target battery, the method further comprises: receiving fault alarm information sent by the BMS; and sending charging stopping information to the charging pile in response to the fault alarm information, and controlling the charging loop where each first target battery in the charging control device is located to be disconnected.

Specifically, each BMS in the power consumption device may detect in real time whether a battery corresponding to its own system has a fault, for example, a battery temperature rise abnormality, etc., and at this time, the BMS may generate fault alarm information and transmit the fault alarm information to the charge control device.

And after receiving the fault alarm information, the charging control device sends charging stopping information to the charging pile and controls the charging loop of each first target battery in the charging control device to be disconnected, so that the charging of the battery in the power utilization device is stopped.
