The heating module 111 is specifically described below.

After the description of the heating module 111, the following sections of the present invention will provide a detailed explanation of the control module 112 of the heating module 111.
The control module 112 is described in detail below.
The control module 112 is configured to control the heating module 111 to heat the low-voltage battery pack when the low-voltage battery pack 10 is in the target charging and discharging operating condition and the temperature of the low-voltage battery pack is lower than a preset temperature threshold. Specifically, the control module 112 may control the heating module 111 to heat the cell set 12 of the low voltage battery pack 10.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the control module 112 may specifically include: a temperature detection unit 1121, a first comparator Q1, and a switching unit 1122.
In order to fully understand the control module 112, the following portions of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the temperature detecting unit 1121, the first comparator Q1 and the switch unit K1 in turn.
First, the temperature detection unit 1121 will be specifically described as follows.
Temperature detection unit 1121 is configured to output a first voltage corresponding to a first temperature of low-voltage battery pack 10, when low-voltage battery pack 10 is in a target charge-discharge operating condition.
The target charging and discharging working condition may be a charging working condition, or the target charging and discharging working condition may be a discharging working condition, or the target charging and discharging working condition may be a charging working condition or a discharging working condition. The target charging/discharging condition may be set according to a specific heating scenario and a heating requirement, for example, if it is considered that the low-voltage battery pack cannot be charged or is slowly charged when the temperature of the low-voltage battery pack is too low, the control module 112 may control the heating module 111 to heat the low-voltage battery pack 10 when the low-voltage battery pack 10 is in a charging condition and the temperature is low.
Wherein the first temperature of the low voltage battery pack 10 is used as a measure of the temperature of the low voltage battery pack 10. For example, the first temperature of the low voltage battery pack 10 may be the temperature of a battery cell of the low voltage battery pack 10, and accordingly, the temperature detection unit 1121 may be attached to the surface of the battery cell. Alternatively, the first temperature of the low-voltage battery pack 10 may be an external ambient temperature of the low-voltage battery pack 10, and accordingly, the temperature detection unit 1121 may be disposed outside the case of the low-voltage electromagnetic pack 1. Still alternatively, the first temperature of the low-voltage battery pack 10 may be a temperature inside a case of the low-voltage battery pack 10, and accordingly, the temperature detection unit 1121 may be provided in the case of the low-voltage electromagnetic pack 10.
Wherein the temperature detection unit 1121 is capable of generating voltage information corresponding to the temperature information from the temperature information. The temperature detecting unit 1121 may be a voltage dividing unit composed of a thermistor and a divided voltage, and in this case, the temperature information and the generated voltage information may be in a positive correlation or a negative correlation. The temperature detecting unit 1121 may also be another temperature detecting unit, such as a temperature sensor.
Illustratively, the temperature detection unit 1121 may include a thermistor sub-unit and a third voltage division sub-unit.
Wherein, the resistance of the thermistor subunit can change along with the temperature change, one end of the thermistor subunit is connected with the power supply end, and the other end of the thermistor subunit is respectively connected with one end of the third voltage division subunit and the first input end IN of the first comparator Q11And (4) connecting. Illustratively, the thermistor may be a Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistor (NTC).
And the other end of the third voltage division subunit is connected with the reference potential bit. Illustratively, the third voltage dividing subunit may include one or more resistors.
As a specific example, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another exemplary low-voltage battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the temperature detection unit 1121 includes a negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 and a voltage dividing resistor R1. One end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is connected to a second power supply terminal VCC2, and the other end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is respectively connected to one end of a voltage dividing resistor R1 and a first input terminal IN of a first comparator Q11The other end of the voltage dividing resistor R1 is connected to the ground terminal GND 2.
Specifically, the lower the first temperature is, the larger the resistance of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is, the larger the voltage division on the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is, and accordingly the smaller the voltage division of the voltage division resistor R1 is. Since the voltage of the ground GND2 can be regarded as 0, the first input IN of the first comparator Q11The value of the acquired first voltage is substantially equal to the divided voltage of R1. Therefore, the lower the first temperature, the lower the first voltage, that is, when the thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor and one end of the thermistor is connected to a power supply terminal, the first temperature is in a positive correlation with the first voltage. Similarly, when the thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor and one end of the thermistor is connected to the ground, the first temperature and the first voltage are in a negative correlation relationship.
Similarly, when the thermistor is a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor and one end of the thermistor is connected to a power supply terminal, the first Temperature and the first voltage are in a negative correlation. When the thermistor is a PTC and one end of the thermistor is connected with the ground, the first temperature and the first voltage are in positive-negative correlation.
Next, after the temperature detecting unit 1121 is introduced, the following portions of the embodiments of the present invention describe the first comparator Q1 specifically as follows.
For the first comparator Q1, its first input IN1Is connected to the temperature detection unit 1121. For a specific connection relationship, reference may be made to the related description of the temperature detecting unit 1121 in the above-mentioned portions of the embodiments of the present invention, which is not repeated herein.
First comparisonSecond input IN of Q12For acquiring a first reference voltage connection corresponding to a first temperature threshold. For example, with continued reference to fig. 3, the first comparator Q1 may obtain a first reference voltage from between the voltage-dividing resistor R2 and the voltage-dividing resistor R3. Specifically, the structures of the voltage-dividing resistor R2 and the voltage-dividing resistor R3 include: one end of the voltage dividing resistor R2 is connected to a third power supply terminal VCC3, and the other end of the voltage dividing resistor R2 is respectively connected to one end of the voltage dividing resistor R3 and a second input terminal IN of the first comparator Q12The other end of the voltage dividing resistor R3 is connected to the ground terminal GND 3.
Output terminal OUT of the first comparator Q11And control terminal G of switch unit K11And (4) connecting.
The first comparator Q1 is configured to compare the first voltage with a first reference voltage to obtain a first comparison result, and control the switch unit K1 to turn on when the first comparison result indicates that the first temperature is lower than a first temperature threshold. Specifically, the first comparator Q1 controls the switch unit K1 to be turned on in a manner that the first comparator Q1 provides a control end G of the switch unit K11And outputting a high level signal.
Wherein, for the first comparison result, if the first temperature and the first voltage have a positive correlation, the first comparison result includes that the first voltage is smaller than the first reference voltage. Or, if the first temperature and the first voltage are in a negative correlation, the first comparison result comprises that the first voltage is greater than the first reference voltage.
The first comparator Q1 further has two power supply terminals, one of which is connected to the first power supply terminal VCC1, and the other of which is connected to the ground GND 1.
Next, the switch unit K1 will be specifically described below.
First connection L of switch unit K11Is connected to one end of the cell group 12 in the low-voltage battery pack 10. Exemplarily, the first connection L of the switch unit K11May be connected to the positive electrode of the battery cell collection 12.
Second connection L of switch unit K12And is connected to the other end of the battery cell assembly 12 via the heating module 111. Exemplary second connection of switching unit K1Connecting end L2May be connected to the negative electrode of the battery cell assembly 12 via the heating module 111.
When the switch unit K1 is turned on, i.e. the first connection terminal L of the switch unit K11And a second connection terminal L2When the battery cell assembly is connected, the heating module 111 is controlled to heat the battery cell assembly 12. Alternatively, the battery unit K1 may be embodied as a relay or a semiconductor switch.
Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 3, when the battery unit K1 includes a relay, the control terminal of the battery unit K1 includes a core of the relay, and a coil wound around the core, one end of the coil serving as the control terminal G of the switch unit K11One end of the coil is connected with the output end OUT of the first comparator Q11The other end of the coil is connected to ground GND 4. When the coil passes through the current, the coil with the iron core outputs a corresponding magnetic field to attract the armature, and the first connecting end L is connected through the armature1And a second connection terminal L2And (4) communicating.
Furthermore, considering that the control module 112 needs to control the heating module 111 under the target charging/discharging condition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 2 may further include a control unit 1122 for determining whether the target charging/discharging condition is met.
The following portions of the embodiments of the present invention will be specifically explained for the control unit 1122 included in the control module 112 by two embodiments.
In the first embodiment, the control module 112 further includes a first control unit 1122.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a low-voltage battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, first control unit 1122 is connected to temperature detection unit 1121, and is configured to control temperature detection unit 1121 to output a first voltage when it is determined that low-voltage battery pack 10 is in the target charge/discharge operating condition.
Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 4, the first control unit 1122 specifically includes a first voltage dividing subunit R4, a second comparator Q2, and a first switching subunit K2.
Wherein, the first voltage dividing subunit R4 is disposed on the power line of the low voltage battery pack 10. The transmission line of the low-voltage battery pack 10 represents a line through which the battery cell set 12 discharges to a load and obtains electric energy from an external power source. Specifically, the first voltage-dividing subunit R4 may be provided on the positive power line or the negative power line of the low-voltage battery pack 10. When current flows through the power line, the voltage across the first voltage-dividing subunit R4 is different. The first voltage-dividing subunit R4 may include one or more resistors.

For the second preset condition, if the first voltage dividing subunit R4 is set in the positive power transmission line and the target charging/discharging operating condition is the charging operating condition, or if the first voltage dividing subunit R4 is set in the negative power transmission line and the target charging/discharging operating condition is the discharging operating condition, the second preset condition is that the second voltage is smaller than the third voltage.
Or, if the first voltage-dividing subunit R4 is disposed in the positive power transmission line and the target charging/discharging operating condition is a discharging operating condition, or if the first voltage-dividing subunit R4 is disposed in the negative power transmission line and the target charging/discharging operating condition is a charging operating condition, the second preset condition is that the second voltage is the third voltage.
In addition, if the target charge-discharge operating condition is a discharge operating condition and a charge operating condition, two comparators Q2 and an or gate may be provided, wherein the first input terminal of the first comparator Q2 and the terminal P of the first voltage-dividing subunit R41Is connected with its second input terminal to the other end P of the first voltage-dividing subunit R42And (4) connecting.

The output terminals of the two second comparators Q2 are connected to the input terminal of the OR gate, and the output terminal of the OR gate is connected to the control terminal G of the first switch subunit K22
The first switch subunit K2 is connected to the temperature detecting unit 1121, and the first switch subunit K2 controls the temperature detecting unit 1121 to output the first voltage when being turned on. The first switch subunit may be a semiconductor switch, such as a triode, a metal oxide semiconductor, or the like, or may be a relay.
Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 4, a first switch subunit K2 is disposed between the other ends of the third voltage-dividing subunit R1. When the first switch subunit K2 is turned off, the voltage between the thermistor subunit NTC1 and the third voltage-dividing subunit R1 is always equal to the voltage of the second power source terminal VCC 2.
