  • the reason for the attenuation of lithium-ion batteries is essentially the continuous decrease of active lithium ions inside the battery.
  • the main reason is that the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the surface of the electrode material and the lithium evolution consume lithium ions. The two cases are described below.
  • SEI solid electrolyte interface
  • SEI film Formation of SEI film.
  • the SEI film will occur during the normal use of the lithium ion battery, especially after the battery is prepared, the surface of the electrode material will react with the electrolyte to form a relatively stable SEI film, as shown in Figure 4.
  • the main component of the SEI film is a stable compound of lithium (Li), such as LiO. As the cycle progresses, a series of side reactions will occur inside the battery:
  • the by-product is a mixture including many compounds.
  • the by-product contains Li and has strong stability. This by-product will reduce the active Li inside the battery, causing the battery's capacity to continue to decrease; in addition, the by-product will increase the internal resistance of the battery, which not only increases the obstacle of the battery charging speed, but also generates more heat This will lead to the need to reduce the charging current during the charging process to reduce the temperature rise during the battery charging process.
  • Lithium analysis The principle of lithium analysis is to generate a layer of Li metal element on the surface of the negative electrode of the battery:
  • Li+ is continuously inserted from the positive electrode to the negative electrode. Once the lithium ion insertion rate on the negative electrode surface exceeds the capacity of the negative electrode, there will be lithium ions remaining on the negative electrode surface. Because the potential on the surface of the negative electrode continues to decrease, as long as the potential reaches 0V, that is, the potential generated by lithium metal is reached, the elemental lithium metal will be generated.
  • the formation of elemental lithium metal generally occurs during fast charging, low temperature and aging batteries.
  • the element of lithium metal is generated during the fast charging process because the insertion rate of lithium ions is lower than the rated rate; the element of lithium metal is generated at low temperature because the ion diffusion activity is reduced due to the low temperature, and the speed of the insertion material is also reduced; the element of lithium metal generated in the aging battery is Because the SEI film formed on the surface of the material by side reactions such as SEI increases the internal resistance of the material surface, the negative electrode potential can be expressed as:
  • ⁇ (e) represents the battery voltage
  • represents the potential generated by the internal resistance
  • Lithium evolution will reduce lithium ions and reduce battery capacity. At the same time, because lithium evolution has directionality, the precipitated lithium dendrites will pierce the separator, leading to the risk of overheating and even short-circuiting of the positive and negative electrodes.
  • the actual capacity of the battery will decrease and the internal resistance of the battery will increase. If the charging current of the battery continues to charge the battery with the charging current set initially, it will exceed the current battery characteristics.
  • the rated capacity of the battery is 3000mAh
  • the battery is charged with a current of 1C at the beginning, that is, the battery is charged with a current of 3A, but when the capacity of the battery drops to 2500mAh, the current of 1C should be 2.5A, which should be 2.5A
  • the current of A charges the battery, but the battery cannot be charged with 3A current. Continue to charge the battery with 3A current will exceed the current battery characteristics, accelerate the aging of the battery, and affect the service life of the battery.
  • the charge cut-off current in the constant voltage stage is usually determined based on the full rated capacity of the battery as a connection. For example, for a battery with a rated capacity of 3000 mAh, the cut-off current for charging the battery is 0.02C. If the actual capacity of the battery is equal to the rated capacity of the battery, 3000mAh, the charge cut-off current is 60mAh; but when the capacity is reduced to 2500mAh, the charge cut-off current should be 50mAh, not 60mAh. If the battery is only charged to the cut-off current of 60mAh, the charge cut-off current will be too high, causing the problem of battery dissatisfaction.
  • the internal resistance of the battery will increase after multiple uses. Take the method 3 described above as an example, in the constant current stage, the battery is charged to the cut-off voltage with a constant current. It is assumed that the charging process of the battery includes: charging the battery to 4.2V with a charging current of 1A, and then charging the battery to 4.3V with a charging current of 0.8A. But after the battery is charged many times, the internal resistance of the battery increases from 100m ⁇ to 200m ⁇ . After the internal resistance of the battery increases, the float voltage of the battery increases. When the actual voltage of the battery may be 4V, the detected battery voltage may have reached 4.2V, so that the battery has not been charged to the expected voltage before the 0.8A The charging current is used for charging, which will reduce the charging speed of the battery.

具体实施方式
随着电子设备的不断发展,越来越多的电子设备都需要进行充电,并且用户对电子设备的充电速度要求也越来越高,希望得到越来越快的充电速度,以节省电子设备的充电时间。

另外,电子设备还可以包括其他有充电需求的电子设备,例如手机、移动电源(如充电宝、旅充等)、电动汽车、笔记本电脑、无人机、平板电脑、电子书、电子烟、智能电子设备和小型电子产品等。智能电子设备例如可以包括手表、手环、智能眼镜和扫地机器人等。小型电子产品例如可以包括无线耳机、蓝牙音响、电动牙刷和可充电无线鼠标等。
目前,常用的快充方式均是在电池充电之前将充电策略预设好之后,在之后的多次充电过程中,均是以该预设好的充电策略对电池充电。但是电池在使用一段时间后,会发生不同程度的老化衰减,这是无法避免的。如果继续以预设的充电策略进行充电,会造成电池老化加重、充电速度下降即电池充不满等问题。
下面结合具体的充电方式对本申请实施例的方案进行描述。
方式一,一种常用的快速充电方式为恒流恒压(constant current constant voltage,CCCV)充电方式,如图1所示。
CCCV充电方式可以包括一个恒流恒压阶段,也可以包括多个恒流恒压阶段,每个恒流恒压阶段均包括一个恒流阶段和一个恒压阶段。
以一个恒流恒压阶段为例,如图1所示,一个恒流恒压阶段包括一个恒流阶段和一个恒压阶段。在对电池充电之前,可以提前预设恒流阶段的充电电流为3A,恒流阶段对应的充电截止电压为4.2V,恒压阶段对应的最小截止电流为0.06A。之后在多次的充电过程中,均是以该设置好的充电策略进行充电。在恒流阶段,可以以3A的充电电流对电池充电,直至电池的电压达到预设的截止电压,如4.2V。在恒压阶段,可以以4.2V的电压对电池进行恒压充电,直至电池的充电电流降低到预设的最小截止电流,如0.06A。其中,该最小截止电流是根据将电池的容量充满时的电流确定的。
其中,3A的充电电流通常是根据电池的额定容量确定的,如设置电池的充电电流为电池额定容量的倍率,为1C,其中,C表示电池的额定容量。假设电池容量为3000mAh,则1C的电流为3A。类似地,0.06A的最小截止电流也是根据电池的额定容量确定的,如设置电池的最小充电截止电流为0.02C。假设电池容量为3000mAh,则电池的最小截止电流为充电截止电流0.02C为0.06A。
方式二,另一种常用的快充方式为阶梯充电方式,如图2所示。阶梯充电方式是根据电池的状态信息,不断调整电池的充电电流,从而能够提高充电速度。该阶梯充电方式会提前预设多个恒流阶段,并设置每个恒流阶段对应的充电电流和充电时间。在之后的多次充电过程中,均是以该预设好的充电方式对电池充电。
具体地,先以电流I1对电池充电时间t1,然后再以电流I2对电池充电时间t2,以此类推,以电流In对电池充电时间tn,n为大于或等于2的整数。其中,不同恒流阶段对应的充电电流也可以是根据电池的额定容量确定的。假设电池的额定电流为3C,则可以设置I1为3C,I2为2C。在充电过程中,先以电流3C对电池充电时间t1,然后再以电流2C对电池充电时间t2等。
方式三,还有一种类似于阶梯充电方式的快充方式,在充电过程中,电池的充电电流是根据检测到的电池电压进行调整的,如图3所示。对于该快充方式,可以提前预设不同的恒流阶段,并设置每个恒流阶段对应的充电电流和充电截止电压。在之后的多次充电过程中,均是以该预设好的充电方式对电池充电。
其中,每个恒流阶段对应的充电电流也可以是根据电池的额定容量确定的。例如,刚开始以3C的充电电流将电池充电至4.2V,然后使用2C的充电电流将电池充电至4.4V,然后不断地调整,直至充电至最后一个充电阶段。
上文描述的不同充电方式中,电池的充电电流基本都是以电池的额定容量为参考而设置的,这对于刚出厂的电池而言是合理的,因为此时电池的实际容量与额定容量基本相等。但是,电池在使用过程中, 会发生不同程度的老化衰减,并且电池的这种衰减是无法避免的。电池老化衰减后,电池的实际容量就会小于电池的额定容量,并且电池的内阻也会出现一定程度上的增大,继续以预设的充电方式会对加速电池的老化,影响电池的使用寿命。
以锂离子电池为例,锂离子电池衰减的原因本质上就是电池内部的活性锂离子不断减少。导致活性锂离子减少原因有很多,其主要原因是电极材料表面固体电解质界面(solid electrolyte interface,SEI)膜的形成以及析锂等消耗了锂离子。下面对这两种情况进行描述。
1)SEI膜的形成。SEI膜在锂离子电池的正常使用过程中都会发生的,特别是在电池制备好后,电极材料表面会与电解液发生反应,生成一层比较稳定的SEI膜,如图4所示。SEI膜的主要成分是锂(Li)的稳定化合物,比如LiO。随着循环的进行,电池内部会发生一系列的副反应:
溶剂+Li+→e-+副产物
该副产物为包括很多化合物的混合物,该副产物中含有Li,稳定性强。该副产物会使电池内部的活性Li降低,使电池的容量不断减少;另外该副产物还会增加电池内部的内阻,这不仅增加了电池充电速度的阻碍,同时也会产生更多的热量,这会导致需要降低充电过程中的充电电流,来减小电池充电过程中的温升。
2)析锂。析锂的原理就是在电池负极的表面生成一层Li金属单质:
Li++e-→Li
在电池充电过程中,Li+不断从正极向负极嵌入,一旦负极表面的锂离子嵌入速度超过负极的能力,就会有锂离子剩余在负极表面上。因为负极表面的电势不断降低,从而只要电势达到0V,即达到锂金属生成的电势,就会生成锂金属单质。
锂金属单质的生成一般会在快充过程中、低温以及老化电池中发生。快充过程中生成锂金属单质是因为锂离子嵌入速度低于额定倍率;低温生成锂金属单质是因为温度低是离子扩散活性降低,嵌入材料内部的速度也降低;老化电池中生成锂金属单质是因为SEI等副反应在材料表面生成的SEI膜使材料表面的内阻增大,而负极电势可以表达为:
Ф(负极)=Ф(e)+ΔФ(ΔФ<0)
其中,Ф(e)表示电池电压,ΔФ表示内阻所产生的电势,所以内阻增大会使负极表面的电势更容易到达0V,从而更容易析出锂。
析锂会导致锂离子减少,降低电池容量,同时因为析锂会有方向性,析出的锂枝晶会刺透隔膜,导致过热甚至正负极短路的风险。
综上,电池在使用过程中,会出现电池的实际容量下降和电池内阻增大的问题。如果电池的充电电流仍然以初始设置的充电电流继续为电池充电,会超过当前的电池特性。
比如,电池的额定容量为3000mAh,刚开始以1C的电流为电池充电,即以3A的电流为电池充电,但是当电池的容量下降到2500mAh后,1C的电流应该是2.5A,即应该以2.5A的电流为电池充电,而不能以3A的电流为电池充电,继续以3A的电流为电池充电会超过当前的电池特性,加速电池的老化,影响电池的使用寿命。
其次,在恒压阶段的充电截止电流通常是根据将电池的额定容量充满作为接线确定的。比如对于额定容量为3000mAh的电池来说,将该电池充满的截止电流为0.02C。如果电池的实际容量等于电池的额定容量,为3000mAh时,则充电截止电流为60mAh;但是当容量降低到2500mAh时,充电截止电流应该为50mAh,而不能是60mAh。如果仅将电池充电至截止电流为60mAh,会使得充电截止电流过高,造成电池充不满的问题。
另外,电池在多次使用之后,电池的内阻会增大。以上文描述的方式3为例,在恒流阶段,以恒定电流将电池充电至截止电压。假设电池的充电过程包括:以1A的充电电流将电池充电至4.2V,然后以0.8A的充电电流将电池充电至4.3V。但是电池在多次充电之后,电池的内阻从100mΩ增加到200mΩ。电池内阻增加后,电池的浮压增大,电池的实际电压可能在4V时,检测到的电池电压可能就已经达到了4.2V,从而电池还未充电到期望的电压就提前以0.8A的充电电流进行充电,这会降低电池的充电速度。
综上,如何设置电池的充电方式,以满足电池的充电速度和使用寿命的要求成为亟需解决的问题。
如图5所示,本申请实施例提供了一种充电方法,能够满足电池在不同充电过程中的充电需求,该充电方法包括步骤510~520。本申请实施例的充电方法可应用在上文描述的任一种充电过程中。
S510、确定电池的实际容量。
S520、根据所述电池的实际容量,更新所述电池的充电参数。
电池的充电参数可以包括以下中的至少一个:电池在恒流阶段的充电电流,电池在恒流阶段的充电截止电压和电池在恒压阶段的截止电流。
S530、根据电池的充电参数,对电池充电。
本申请实施例中,为电池充电的充电电流不是提前设置好就一成不变了,而是在充电过程中,不断地根据电池的实际容量更新电池的充电电流,使得电池的充电电流能够与电池的实际容量相匹配,满足当前的电池特性。
其次,本申请实施例还可以在电池的充电过程中,不断地根据电池的实际容量更新电池的充电截止电流,更新后的充电截止电流能够保证将电池充满,以充分利用电池的容量。
另外,本申请实施例在恒流阶段的充电截止电压不是固定不变的,而是可以根据电池的实际容量进行调整,以避免电池提前以小电流进行充电,保证电池的充电速度。
本申请实施例对根据电池的实际容量确定电池的充电电流的方式不做具体限定。例如电池在恒流阶段的充电电流可以为电池实际容量的第一倍率。当然,电池的充电电流也可以是将电池的实际容量进行其他的运算得到的。
本申请实施例可以根据电池的实际容量的第一倍率不断地更新电池在恒流阶段的充电电流,如果电池的实际容量发生变化,则电池在恒流阶段的充电电流也会相应地发生变化,以满足电池当前的充电特性。
电池在恒流阶段的充电电流为电池实际容量的第一倍率,可以指对于电池在多次充电过程中的同一个恒流阶段,电池在该恒流阶段的充电电流可以均为电池实际容量的第一倍率。假设该恒流阶段的充电电流为电池实际容量的1倍,则不论电池的实际容量为多少,电池在该恒流阶段的充电电流值均为电池的实际容量值。
例如,对于上文描述的充电方式一,在恒流阶段,可以设置电池的充电电流为1C,以1C的充电电流对电池充电。对于刚出厂的电池而言,电池的实际容量为3000mAh,则在恒流阶段可以以3A的充电电流为电池充电;电池在多次使用之后,电池的实际容量会下降,假设电池的实际容量变为2500mAh,则在恒流阶段可以以2.5A的充电电流对电池充电;如果在使用很长时间后,电池的实际容量继续下降,下降为2000mAh,则在恒流阶段可以以2A的电流对电池充电。
又例如,对于上文描述的充电方式二或充电方式三,电池的充电过程可以包括多个恒流阶段,在该情况下,可以设置电池在不同恒流阶段的充电电流均为电池实际容量的固定倍率。对于不同的恒流阶段,电池的充电电流为电池实际容量的不同倍率。假设电池的充电过程包括两个恒流阶段,则可以设置第一个恒流阶段的充电电流为电池实际容量的1倍,第二个恒流阶段的充电电流为电池实际容量的0.8倍,则在后续电池的充电过程中,不论电池当前的实际容量为多大,在第一个恒流阶段,电池的充电电流均为电池实际容量的1倍,在第二个恒流阶段,电池的充电电流均为电池实际容量的0.8倍。
假设检测到的电池的实际容量为3000mAh,则在第一个恒流阶段,可以以3A的充电电流对电池充电,在第二个恒流阶段,可以以2.4A的充电电流对电池充电。如果电池使用多次后,电池的实际容量降为2500mAh,则在第一个恒流阶段,可以以2.5A的充电电流对电池充电,在第二个恒流阶段,以2A的充电电流对电池充电。
本申请实施例可以根据电池的实际容量,以及预设的电池在恒流阶段的充电电流,确定电池在后续恒流阶段中的充电电流。
本申请实施例对初始设置的恒流阶段的充电电流的形式不做具体限定。例如,可以设置电池在不同恒流阶段的充电倍率。又例如,也可以设置电池在不同恒流阶段的充电电流,然后在充电过程中,可以根据电池的充电电流和电池的额定容量确定出电池的充电倍率。
如果初始设置的是电池在恒流阶段的充电倍率,则在后续的充电过程中,可以直接根据电池的充电倍率和电池的实际容量,确定出电池的充电电流。如果初始设置的是电池的充电电流,则可以根据电池的充电电流和电池的额定容量,计算出电池的充电倍率,然后在后续的充电过程中,根据计算出的电池的充电倍率以及电池的实际容量,确定出电池的充电电流。
对于阶梯充电,假设预设的多个充电阶段的充电电流分别为I1,I2,I3,......,电池的额定容量为C,通过充电电流与电池额定容量的比值确定出电池在多个恒流阶段的充电倍率分别为1C,0.9C,0.8C,......。则在后续的充电过程中,可以分别将电池实际容量的1倍,0.9倍,0.8倍,……,分别作为多个恒流阶段的充电电流。
由上可知,随着电池实际容量的不断减小,电池在恒流阶段的充电电流也在不断减小,能够保证电池在恒流阶段的充电电流不会超过电池的充电特性,有利于保证电池的使用寿命。
上文中描述的充电倍率的值仅是举例,恒流阶段对应的充电倍率可以为其他值。
本申请实施例对根据电池的实际容量确定电池的充电截止电流的方式不做具体限定。例如电池在恒压阶段对应的充电截止电流可以为电池实际容量的第二倍率。当然,电池的充电截止电流也可以是将电池的实际容量进行其他的运算得到的。
本申请实施例可以根据电池的实际容量的固定倍率不断地更新电池在恒压阶段的充电截止电流,如果电池的实际容量发生变化,则电池在恒压阶段的充电截止电流也会相应地发生变化,以满足电池当前的充电特性。
恒压阶段对应的固定倍率可以是电池厂商自己定义的,对于不同的电池厂商,该固定倍率可以不同。例如该固定倍率例如可以为0.01~0.1之间的任意值。
本申请实施例可以根据电池的实际容量,以及预设的电池在恒压阶段的充电截止电流,确定电池在后续恒压阶段的目标截止电流。然后在恒压阶段将电池充电至电池的电流达到该目标截止电流,结束充电。
本申请实施例对初始设置的恒压阶段的充电截止电流的形式不做具体限定。例如,可以提前设置电池在恒压阶段的充电截止电流的倍率,然后在后续的充电过程中,根据该充电截止电流的倍率和电池的实际容量,确定目标截止电流。又例如,可以设置电池在恒压阶段的预设充电截止电流,然后根据电池预设充电截止电流和电池的额定容量,确定截止电流的倍率;然后在后续的充电过程中,根据电池的截止电流倍率以及电池的实际容量,确定目标截止电流。
例如,如果电池出厂时设置的电池的充电截止电流为0.02C,则在后续的充电过程中,可直接将电池的实际容量的0.02倍确定为电池的目标截止电流。又例如,如果出厂时设置的电池的充电截止电流为60mA,而电池出厂时的额定容量为3000mAh,则可以计算出电池的充电截止倍率为0.02;在后续的充电过程中,将电池实际容量的0.02倍确定为电池的目标截止电流。
由上可知,随着电池实际容量的不断减小,电池的充电截止电流也在不断减小,这样能够保证在电池的实际容量发生变化后,也能够将电池充满,以提高电池的利用率。
本申请实施例中的恒流阶段对应的充电截止电压也可以是根据电池的实际容量确定的。对于恒流阶段以电池的电压作为切换条件的充电方式,电池在恒流阶段的充电截止电压不是固定不变的,可以根据电池的实际容量进行调整,这样电池在不同恒流阶段之间的切换不会受到电池的浮压的影响,能够保证电池的充电速度。
根据电池的实际容量,确定电池在恒流阶段的充电截止电压,可以包括:根据电池的实际容量和电池的当前电量,确定电池在恒流阶段的充电截止电压。例如,当所述电池的当前电量达到电池实际容量的第三倍率时,电池的点钱电压为电池在恒流阶段的充电截止电压。
对于不同的恒流阶段,可以设置不同的倍率。
作为一个示例,可以在电池的当前电量达到某个预设电量时,将电池的电压作为目标截止电压。当电池的电压达到该目标截止电压时,可以切换到下一个充电阶段。该预设电量与电池实际容量之间的比值为固定值,或者该预设电量也可以是将电池实际容量进行其他运算得到的。
本申请实施例可以根据电池的实际容量,以及电池恒流阶段预设的充电参数,更新电池在后续充电过程中的目标截止电压。
初始设置的充电参数可以是电池的当前电量与电池实际容量之间的比值,或者也可以是电池在出厂时设置的恒流阶段对应的充电截止电压。
对于预设的充电参数为电池的当前电量与电池实际容量之间的比值b的情况,在后续的充电过程中,可以直接根据电池的实际容量和该比值b,计算出当前恒流阶段电池需要达到的电量Q’。然后在后续的充电过程中,实时计算电池的当前电量,当电池的当前电量达到Q’时,进入下一个充电阶段。在该情况下,目标截止电压可以为电池的电量达到Q’时,对应的电池的电压。
对于预设的充电参数为充电截止电压的情况,假设该恒流阶段的充电电流为I1,充电截止电压为4.2V,可以以充电电流I1将电池充电至4.2V,计算电池的当前电量Q3,计算Q3与电池额定容量的比值为a%。在电池老化后,该恒流阶段需要将电池充电电池的电量为电池实际容量的a%后,再进入下一个恒流阶段。
对于上文描述的方式3的充电方式,在电池老化后,可以以更新后的充电电流对电池充电,然后将电池充电至更新后的充电截止电压。当电池电压达到更新后的充电截止电压后,进入下一个充电阶段。
电池的当前电量的计算方式可以与电池实际容量的计算方式类似,下文将会详细描述。
本申请实施例对确定电池实际容量的方式不做具体限定,例如,可以根据电池的充电电流和充电时间确定电池的实际容量。
根据库伦定理,即Q=It,电池的充入电量可以根据电池的充电电流和充电时间来确定。
当电池从剩余电量Q1为0开始充电时,到电池充满后结束,电池的实际容量就等于电池的充入电量。
如果电池从剩余电量Q1不为0开始充,则可以根据电池的剩余电量与电池的充入电量之和确定电池的实际容量。
电池的充入电量可以是根据不同阶段的充电电流和时间确定的。例如,对于阶梯充电方式,不同充电阶段的充电电流分别为I1,I2,......,In,则电池的充入电量为Q2=I1*t1+I2*t2+......+In*tn。如果电池从剩余电量为0开始充电,则电池的实际容量Q=Q2=I1*t1+I2*t2+......+In*tn。如果电池从剩余电量Q1不为0开始充电,则电池的实际容量Q=Q1+Q2=Q1+I1*t1+I2*t2+......+In*tn。
电池的剩余电量可以是根据电池剩余电量的百分比与电池的实际容量之间的乘积确定的。如果电池的剩余电量为20%,则可以将电池实际容量的20%确定为电池的剩余电量。
具体地,对于Q=Q1+Q2,假设Q为电池在第m次充电过程中的实际容量,Q2为电池在第m次充电过程中充入的电量,Q1为电池在第(m-1)次充电结束后的剩余电量。因此,Q1可以根据电池剩余电量的百分比,以及第(m-1)次确定的电池实际容量来获得。
如果电池第(m-1)次的实际容量不确定,则也可以根据电池的额定容量来确定电池的剩余电量。
类似地,电池的当前电量的计算方式也可以参考电池的实际容量的计算方式。例如,以电流I1对电池进行恒流充电时间t1后,电池的当前电量为Q1+I1*t1。以电流I2对电池进行恒流充电时间t2后,电池的当前电量为Q1+I1*t1+I2*t2。
假设电池的充电过程包括相邻的第一恒流阶段和第二恒流阶段,第一恒流阶段对应的充电倍率为C1,第二恒流阶段对应的充电倍率为C2。
对于上文描述的充电方式二,第一恒流阶段对应的充电时间为第一充电时间,第二恒流阶段对应的充电时间为第二充电时间。在第一恒流阶段,可以以更新后的第一电流为电池充电,直到电池的充电时间达到第一充电时间;响应于电池的充电时间达到第一充电时间,进入第二恒流阶段,以更新后的第二电流为电池充电,直到电池的充电时间达到第二充电时间。
对于上文描述的充电方式三,在第一恒流阶段,以更新后的第一电流为电池充电,直到电池的电压达到更新后的第一充电截止电压;响应于电池的电压达到所述更新后的第一截止电压,进入第二恒流阶段,以更新后的第二电流为电池充电,直到电池的电压达到更新后的第二充电截止电压。
其中,更新后的第一电流可以是根据电池的实际容量和充电倍率C1确定的,更新后的第二电流可以是根据电池的实际容量和充电倍率C2确定的。
可选地,更新后的恒流阶段的电流可以是根据电池的实际容量和充电倍率的乘积确定的。对于第一恒流阶段,可以将电池的实际容量和充电倍率C1的乘积作为更新后的第一电流;对于第二恒流阶段,可以将电池的实际容量和充电倍率C2的乘积作为更新后的第二电流。
下面结合具体的充电过程,以充电方式三为例,对本申请实施例的充电方式进行描述。
假设电池的充电过程包括两个恒流阶段和一个恒压阶段,初始设置的充电参数如下:第一恒流阶段的充电电流为3A,充电截止电压为4.2V;第二恒流阶段的充电电流为2.4A,充电截止电压为4.4V;恒压阶段的充电电压为4.4V,充电截止电流为60mA。
假设电池的额定容量为3000mAh,根据初始设置的充电参数,可以计算出电池在第一恒流阶段的充电电流的倍率为1倍,在第二恒流阶段的充电电流的倍率为0.8倍,在恒压阶段对应的充电截止电流为0.02倍。
在刚开始充电时,可以按照初始设置的充电参数为电池充电。在充电过程中,可以分别计算电池的电压达到4.2V和4.4V时,电池的电量分别为Q11和Q22。此外,还可以计算将电池充满时,电池的实际容量Q。然后计算Q11与Q的比值X,以及Q22与Q的比值Y。
假设计算出的电池的实际容量为2500mAh,在下一次充电时,对于第一恒流阶段,根据计算出的电池实际容量Q为2500mAh,以及1倍的充电倍率,确定电池的充电电流为2.5A。类似地,计算第二恒流阶段的充电电流为2500*0.8=2A。计算恒压阶段的充电电流为2500*0.02=50mA。
在对电池充电时,在第一恒流阶段,以2.5A的充电电流为电池充电,并实时计算电池的当前电量。当电池的当前电量达到2500*X时,进入第二恒流阶段。在第二恒流阶段,以2A的充电电流为电池充电,并实时计算电池的当前电量。当电池的当前电量达到2500*Y时,进入恒压阶段。在恒压阶段,可以以第二恒流阶段结束时的充电电压对电池恒压充电,也可以以高于第二恒流阶段结束时的充电电压对电池恒压充电。在恒压充电过程中,检测电池的充电电流,当电池的充电电流达到50mA时,结束充电。同时,还可以计算充电结束时电池的实际容量,该实际容量可用于确定电池的下一次充电的充电参数。
本申请实施例可以通过电池实际容量的百分比来调整恒流充电过程,但是电池在充电过程中,电池的充电电压还需要满足一个条件,即不能超过电池的极限电压。该极限电压可以理解为电池所能承受的最高电压。假设电池的极限电压为4.5V,则电池不论在什么充电阶段,电池的充电电压均不能超过4.5V。
其次,还可以在电池的充电过程中,设置其他的限制条件,比如电池的温升,充电时间等。对于具有多个限制条件的情况,只要有一个条件满足,就需要对充电电流进行调整,以避免对电池造成影响。
例如,如果持续以大电流对电池充电,电池的温度上升会非常严重,这不但会影响电池的使用寿命, 还会增加电池的充电安全问题发生的风险。因此,在电池的充电过程中,还需要实时检测电池的温度等参数,以保证电池充电的安全性。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例描述的倍率均是指电池容量的倍率。电池容量的倍率可以包括电池实际容量的倍率或电池额定容量的倍率。
本申请实施例可以是在每次充电过程中,都更新电池的充电参数,也可以是在间隔n次的充电过程中,才更新电池的充电采参数,其中,n为正整数。
每次充电过程中都更新电池的充电参数,能够保证电池每次充电的充电参数都满足电池的充电特性。由于电池在连续两次的充电过程中,电池的实际容量和内阻不会发生很大的变化,因此连续两次的充电参数可以相同,间隔n次才更新一次电池的充电参数,能够简化电池的处理流程,不需要每次充电前都计算电池的充电参数。
本申请实施例中,电池的充电过程可以仅包括恒流阶段,不包括恒压阶段如电池的充电过程包括至少一个恒流阶段。或者,电池的充电过程可以包括恒流阶段和恒压阶段,如电池的充电过程可以包括至少一个恒流阶段和至少一个恒压阶段。
本申请实施例中,确定电池的充电参数除了会考虑电池的实际容量之外,还会考虑电池的充电循环次数,也就是说,可以根据电池的实际容量和电池的充电循环次数,更新电池的充电参数。
作为一个示例,可以对充电循环次数进行分段,每个阶段内的电池的充电参数可以保持一致。例如,第一阶段包括第1次~第10次的充电循环过程,第二阶段包括第11次~第20次的充电循环过程等。电池在1~10次的充电循环过程中,电池的充电参数可以保持一致,即第2次~第10次的充电参数可以沿用第1次的充电参数。在第11次的充电循环过程中,电池的充电参数可以根据电池的实际容量来确定,且第11次~第20次的电池的充电参数可以保持一致。由于电池在较小的充电循环次数的间隔内,电池的实际容量不会发生特别大的变化,因此采用这种方式不仅能够保证电池的充电参数与电池的当前特性相匹配,而且也不需要在每次充电过程中都更新电池的充电参数,能够节省资源。
作为又一示例,电池在恒流阶段的充电倍率可以与电池的充电次数有关,即电池在恒流阶段的充电倍率可以随着电池充电次数的不同而发生变化。
例如,可以对电池的充电循环次数进行分段,在一个阶段内的充电倍率可以保持一致,不同阶段之间的充电倍率可以不同。
假设第一阶段包括第1次~第100次的充电循环过程,第二阶段包括第101次~第200次的充电循环过程,对于第一恒流阶段,第一阶段对应的充电倍率为1C,第二阶段对应的充电倍率为0.9C,则电池可以在第1次~第100次的充电循环过程中的第一恒流阶段,根据电池的实际容量和电池的充电倍率1C确定电池的充电电流;在第101次和第200次的充电循环过程中的第二恒流阶段,根据电池的实际容量和充电倍率0.9C确定电池的充电电流。
本申请实施例提及的电池可以是锂离子电池,也可以是其他电池,如钠离子电池等。

可选地,所述充电管理电路包括检测电路,所述检测电路用于检测所述电池的以下参数中的至少一种:充电电流,充电电压,充电时间和充电循环次数。
本申请实施例中的电池可以包括一节电芯,也可以包括相互串联的M节电芯(M为大于1的正整数)。以M=2为例,电池可以包括第一电芯和第二电芯,且第一电芯和第二电芯相互串联。
多节电芯与单节电芯方案相比,如果要达到同等的充电速度,多节电芯所需的充电电流为单节电芯所需充电电流的1/M,同样地,如果采用相同的充电电流进行充电,多节电芯的充电速度为单节电芯的M倍。因此,在采用相同的充电电流的情况下,多节电芯能够大大提高电池的充电速度。
本申请的一实施例中的多节电芯可以是规格、参数相同或相近的电芯,规格相同或相近的电芯便于统一管理,且选取规格、参数相同或相近的电芯能够提高多节电芯的整体性能和使用寿命。或者,多节电芯的规格和参数可以不相同或不一致,在充电和/或供电过程中,可以通过均衡电路来均衡多节电芯之间的电压。

对于包含多节电芯的待充电设备,在供电过程中,可采用降压电路将多节电芯的电压降压后对待充电设备进行系统供电,或者也可采用单节电芯进行系统供电。此外,在充电过程中,如果需要对系统供电,可直接分一条通路,对系统进行供电。
为了保持多节电芯的电量均衡,在充放电过程中,可通过均衡电路对多节电芯进行电量均衡。均衡电路的实现方式很多,例如,可以在电芯两端连接负载,消耗电芯的电量,使其与其它电芯的电量保持一致,从而使得各个电芯的电压保持一致。或者,可以采用电量高的电芯为电量低的电芯充电的方式进行均衡,直到各个电芯的电压一致为止。又例如,该均衡电路可以为Cuk电路。在例如,该均衡电路可以为基于RLC串联电路的均衡电路,或基于降压-升压(Buck-Boost)的均衡电路。

下面结合图9-图12,对本申请实施例应用的无线充电过程进行描述。
传统的无线充电技术一般将电源提供设备(如适配器)与无线充电装置(如无线充电底座)相连,并通过该无线充电装置将电源提供设备的输出功率以无线的方式(如电磁波)传输至待充电设备,对待充电设备进行无线充电。
按照无线充电原理不同,无线充电方式主要分为磁耦合(或电磁感应)、磁共振以及无线电波三种方式。目前,主流的无线充电标准包括QI标准、电源实物联盟(power matters alliance,PMA)标准、无线电源联盟(alliance for wireless power,A4WP)。QI标准和PMA标准均采用磁耦合方式进行无线充电。A4WP标准采用磁共振方式进行无线充电。
下面结合图9,对一实施例的无线充电方式进行介绍。
如图9所示,无线充电系统包括电源提供设备110、无线充电信号的发射装置120以及充电控制装置130,其中发射装置120例如可以是无线充电底座,充电控制装置130可以指待充电设备,例如可以是终端。
电源提供设备110与发射装置120连接之后,会将电源提供设备110的输出电压和输出电流传输至发射装置120。
发射装置120可以通过内部的无线发射电路121将电源提供设备110的输出电压和输出电流转换成无线充电信号(例如,电磁信号)进行发射。例如,该无线发射电路121可以将电源提供设备110的输出电流转换成交流电,并通过发射线圈或发射天线将该交流电转换成无线充电信号。
图9只是示例性地给出了无线充电系统的示意性结构图,但本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,发射装置120也可以称为无线充电信号的发射装置,充电控制装置130也可以称为无线充电信号的接收装置。无线充电信号的接收装置例如可以是具有无线充电信号接收功能的芯片,可以接收发射装置120发射的无线充电信号;该无线充电信号的接收装置也可以是待充电设备。
充电控制装置130可以通过无线接收电路131接收无线发射电路121发射的无线充电信号,并将该无线充电信号转换成无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流。例如,该无线接收电路131可以通过接收线圈或接收天线将无线发射电路121发射的无线充电信号转换成交流电,并对该交流电进行整流和/或滤波等操作,将该交流电转换成无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流。
在一些实施例中,在无线充电之前,发射装置120与充电控制装置130会预先协商无线发射电路121的发射功率。假设发射装置120与充电控制装置130之间协商的功率为5W,则无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流一般为5V和1A。假设发射装置120可与充电控制装置130之间协商的功率为10.8W,则无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流一般为9V和1.2A。
若无线接收电路131的输出电压并不适合直接加载到电池133两端,则是需要先经过充电控制装置 130内的变换电路132进行恒压和/或恒流控制,以得到充电控制装置130内的电池133所预期的充电电压和/或充电电流。
变换电路132可用于对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行变换,以使得变换电路132的输出电压和/或输出电流满足电池133所预期的充电电压和/或充电电流的需求。具体地,变换电路132可用于对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行变换,使得变换电路132的输出电压和/或输出电流与更新后的电池133的充电参数相匹配。
作为一种示例,该变换电路132例如可以是充电集成电路(integrated circuit,IC),或者可以为电源管理电路。在电池133的充电过程中,变换电路132可用于对电池133的充电电压和/或充电电流进行管理。该变换电路132可以包含电压反馈功能,和/或,电流反馈功能,以实现对电池133的充电电压和/或充电电流的管理。
随着电池的多次循环充电,电池的实际容量会发生变化,从而电池的充电参数也会随着发生变化。该变换电路132可用于根据更新后的电池的充电参数,调整其输出电压和/或输出电流,使得变换电路132的输出电压和/或输出电流与更新后的电池的充电参数相匹配。
在正常的充电过程中,电池所需的充电电压和/或充电电流在不同的充电阶段可能在不断发生变化。无线接收电路的输出电压和/或输出电流可能就需要不断地调整,以满足电池当前的充电需求。例如,在电池的恒流充电阶段,在充电过程中,电池的充电电流保持不变,但是电池的电压在不断升高,因此电池所需的充电电压也在不断升高。随着电池所需的充电电压的不断增大,电池所需的充电功率也在不断增大。当电池所需的充电功率增大时,无线接收电路需要增大输出功率,以满足电池的充电需求。
对于同一个恒流充电阶段,在不同的充电循环中,由于电池的实际容量不同,同一个恒流充电阶段的充电电流不同。充电循环次数越多,电池的实际容量越小,恒流阶段对应的充电电流越小,这样能够满足电池当前的充电特性。
当无线接收电路的输出功率小于电池当前所需的充电功率时,通信控制电路可以向发射装置发射指示信息以指示发射装置提升发射功率,以增大无线接收电路的输出功率。因此,在充电过程中,通信控制电路可以与发射装置通信,使得无线接收电路的输出功率能够满足电池不同充电阶段和/和不同充电循环次数中的充电需求。

在一实施例中,基于高载波频率的近距离无线通信模块可以包括内部封装有极高频(extremely high frequency,EHF)天线的集成电路(integrated circuit,IC)芯片。可选地,高载波频率可以为60GHz。
在一实施例中,光通信可以是利用光通信模块进行通信。光通信模块可以包括红外通信模块,红外通信模块可利用红外线传输信息。
在一实施例中,移动通信可以是利用移动通信模块进行通信。移动通信模块可利用5G通信协议、4G通信协议或3G通信协议等移动通信协议进行信息传输。
采用上述的无线通信方式,相比于Qi标准中通过信号调制的方式耦合到无线接收电路的线圈进行通信的方式,可提高通信的可靠性,且可避免采用信号耦合方式通信带来的电压纹波,影响降压电路的电压处理过程。
可选地,通信控制电路235与发射装置220也可以采用数据接口的有线通信方式进行通信。

本申请实施例对第二通信控制电路235向第一通信控制电路222发送指示信息的方式不做具体限定。
例如,第二通信控制电路235可以定期向第一通信控制电路222发送指示信息。或者,第二通信控制电路235可以仅在电池的电压达到恒流阶段更新后的充电截止电压,或者电池的充电电流达到恒压阶段更新后的充电截止电流,或者电池的电量达到恒流阶段更新后的充电截止电量的情况下,再向第一通信控制电路222发送指示信息。

此外,检测电路234还用于在充电过程中,对电池232的充电电流和充电时间进行检测,使得待充电设备230可以根据电池232的充电电流和充电时间,确定电池232的实际容量。
在一实施例中,对待充电设备而言,在恒流充电的过程中,电池的电压会不断上升,电池所需的充电功率也会随之增大。此时,需要增大无线充电信号的发射功率,以满足电池当前的充电需求。在恒压充电的过程中,电池的充电电流可能会不断减小,电池所需的充电功率也会随之减小。此时,需要减小无线充电信号的发射功率,以满足电池当前的充电需求。

可选地,第二通信控制电路235还可用于控制第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间的切换。例如,如图12所示,第一充电通道233上可以设置开关238,第二通信控制电路235可以通过控制该开关238的导通与关断控制第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间的切换。上文指出,在某些实施例中,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以包括第一无线充电模式和第二无线充电模式,且无线充电信号的发射装置220在第一无线充电模式下对待充电设备230的充电速度快于无线充电信号的发射装置220在第二无线充电模式下对待充电设备230的充电速度。当无线充电信号的发射装置220使用第一无线充电模式为待充电设备230内的电池充电时,待充电设备230可以控制第一充电通道233工作;当无线充电信号的发射装置220使用第二无线充电模式为待充电设备230内的电池充电时,待充电设备230可以控制第二充电通道236工作。
在待充电设备侧,第二通信控制电路235可以根据充电模式,在第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间进行切换。当采用第一无线充电模式时,第二通信控制电路235控制第一充电通道233上的电压转换电路239工作。当采用第二无线充电模式时,第二通信控制电路235控制第二充电通道236上的变换电路237工作。
可选地,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以与待充电设备230之间进行通信,以协商无线充电信号的发射装置220与待充电设备230之间的充电模式。
