DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The technical solution of the present application embodiment will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below.


A power battery is a battery for providing a power source for the power consumption device. Optionally, the power battery may be a power storage battery. For the type of the battery, the power battery can be a lithium-ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a lithium-air battery or a sodium-ion battery etc., embodiments of the present application have no specific limit. For the battery size, the power battery in the present application embodiment can be a battery core, it can also be a battery module or a battery pack, embodiments of the present application have no specific limit. Optionally, the power consumption device may be a vehicle, a ship or a spacecraft etc., and embodiments of the present application have no limit on this. A battery management system (BMS) of the power battery is a control system which protects the use safety of the power battery, implementing a charging and discharging management, high voltage control, battery protection, battery data collection, battery state evaluation etc.


A charging pile, also known as charger, is a device for charging the power battery. The charging pile can output a charging power in accordance with charging demand of the BMS, to charge the power battery. For example, the charging pile can output a voltage and a current in accordance with a demand voltage and a demand current sent by BMS.


However, in some special cases, the range of voltage and current output by the charging pile is unable match with the power battery. For example, in a low temperature scenario, a minimum voltage or current output by the charging pile may also cause a lithium plating during the charging, the power battery cannot be normally charged. In addition, in some cases, a conversion of power form may be required between the charging pile and the power battery, for example: voltage change, current change, power state change, current, voltage, power timing change, etc.


In view of the above situation, embodiments of the present application introduce a power conversion apparatus between the charging pile and the power battery, the power conversion apparatus can conduct a power conversion between the charging pile and the power battery. If it is required to conduct a power conversion between the charging pile and the power battery, the power conversion apparatus converts the power type output by the charging pile into power type required by the power battery. For example, the power conversion apparatus can convert a direct current power output by the charging pile into a pulse power, or, change the voltage value, change current value, or change timing of voltage and current, etc.



FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application framework of a power conversion apparatus according to embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the power conversion apparatus 110 is provided between the charging pile 120 and the BMS of the power battery, namely, power conversion apparatus 110 is connected with the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130 respectively, and the charging pile 120 is not directly connected with the BMS 130.


In the case that the power conversion apparatus 110 is not provided, when the power battery is charged, the charging pile 120 is directly connected with the BMS 130, then the charging process is started, to charge the power battery. As mentioned above, in some cases, the charging pile 120 may be unable to directly normally charge the power battery. Therefore, in embodiments of the present application, a power conversion apparatus 110 is added, and power conversion is conducted between the charging pile 120 and the power battery.


Optionally, the power conversion apparatus 110 can include a control unit 111 and a power unit 112. The control unit 111 is responsible for detecting the states of the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130 during the charging; the control unit 111 is respectively connected to the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130 via a communication line 140, to conduct an information interaction respectively with the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130. In addition, the control unit 111 is also connected with the power unit 112 via the communication line 140, to conduct an information interaction with the power unit 112 and control the power unit 112 to conduct the power conversion. For example, the communication line 140 may be a communication line for controller area network (CAN).


The power unit 112 is responsible for converting the power type output by the charging pile 120 into the power type required by the power battery, on the basis of instruction from the control unit 111. The power unit 112 is connected with the control unit 111 via the communication line 140 to conduct the information interaction. A communication protocol can be configured between the control unit 111 and the power unit 112, for example, syntax, semantics and timing which define the communication, etc., to ensure the normal interaction between the control unit 111 and the power unit 112.


A control strategy can be configured on the control unit 111. For example, the control unit 111 determines a state of the present charging process by parsing the charging message between the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130, to control the corresponding operation conducted by the power unit 112. For example, when the pre-charging condition is met, power unit 112 is controlled to conduct a pre-charging operation. Meanwhile the control unit 111 communicates with the power unit 112, and acquires the state of the power unit 112, to execute the corresponding operation. For example, when the power unit 112 reports a failure, the control unit 111 timely sends a stop pre-charging command


The power unit 112 is respectively connected with the charging pile 120 and the BMS 130 via a high voltage line 150, to convert the charging power output by the charging pile 120 via the high voltage line150 and then output to the BMS to charge the power battery.


Optionally, there are capacitors with high capacity in the power conversion apparatus 110, for example, a first capacitor 161 and a second capacitor 162.


Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, the battery pack managed by the BMS 130 can be called as the power battery.


Optionally, the power conversion apparatus can be integrated into the charging pile or the hybrid electrical vehicle, it can also be an independent apparatus. If the power conversion apparatus is integrated into the charging pile or the hybrid electrical vehicle, the charging pile or power battery can conduct a power supply to the power conversion apparatus. If the power conversion apparatus is an independent apparatus, the power conversion apparatus can obtain the electricity by a traditional method namely via a standard grid (namely, municipal electricity provided by the government) or an external direct current power, or, the power conversion apparatus can also obtain electricity via an auxiliary power or charging power of the charging pile, or a power battery, in case that it is respectively connected with the charging pile and the power battery. The external direct current power in embodiments of the present application should include but not limited to devices such as portable charger etc.


That is to say, in embodiments of the present application, when the power conversion apparatus can obtain multiple powers, one power can be chosen from the multiple powers as the working power of the power conversion apparatus.


In a possible embodiment, the power supply priority of the multiple powers can be set in advance, in case that the power conversion apparatus obtains the multiple powers, and one power can be chosen from the multiple powers as the working power of the power conversion apparatus based on the preset power supply priority.


It should be noted that, the standard grid is of alternating current electricity, the charging power and the power battery are of high voltage electricity, and the working power of the power conversion apparatus is of low voltage and direct current, thus, before providing the power supply for the power conversion apparatus, it is required to convert the one chosen power supply into the working power of the power conversion apparatus.


Embodiments of the present application are mainly based on in case that the power conversion apparatus with the charging pile and the power battery are respectively connected, how to provide the power supply for the power conversion apparatus. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes a portion or all of the following steps:


S210, conducting a power-on self-test with an auxiliary power of a charging pile by the power conversion apparatus;


S220, determining the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery on the basis of a state parameter of the power battery, under the condition that the self-test of the power conversion apparatus succeeds;


S230, determining the one of the charging power of the charging pile and the power battery with a higher power supply priority as the current working power of the power conversion apparatus by the power conversion apparatus.


Specifically, if the power conversion apparatus is in the normal working mode, namely, a working mode in which the power conversion apparatus, the charging pile and the power battery are interconnected, the auxiliary power of the charging pile may first output, at this moment because the high voltage system is not power-on, but the power conversion apparatus needs a self-test and communicating with the charging pile and the BMS managing the power battery, thus, at this moment the power-on self-test can be conducted by using the auxiliary power of the charging pile, after the self-test succeeds and the high voltage system is power-on, the power supply can be provided for the power conversion apparatus by using the charging power of the charging pile or the power battery. Further, the one of the charging power and power battery with the higher priority can be regarded as the working power of the power conversion apparatus, on the basis of the preset power supply priority.


Usually, when the gun head and the gun base of the charging pile, the power conversion apparatus and the power battery are interconnected, the charging pile can be aware of the connection success information, the auxiliary power of the charging pile starts to output, correspondingly, the power conversion apparatus can acquire the auxiliary power. Optionally, after the charging pile is aware of the connection success information, it can also send the connection success information to the power conversion apparatus, correspondingly, after the power conversion apparatus receives the connection success information sent by the charging pile, it can acquire the auxiliary power.


When the power conversion apparatus conducts the self-test by using the auxiliary power, meanwhile the power conversion apparatus respectively communicates with the charging pile and the BMS, after the self-test of the power conversion apparatus succeeds and information interaction is conducted with the charging pile and the BMS, the charging pile and the BMS can respectively close the switch at the high voltage side, namely, the charging power of the charging pile outputs, power battery outputs. When the power conversion apparatus not only acquires the charging power, but also acquires the power battery, the power conversion apparatus can also determine the working power of the power conversion apparatus on the basis of preset power supply priority. In other words, when the priority of the power battery is higher than that of the charging battery, the working power of the power conversion apparatus is switched from the auxiliary power to the power battery; when the priority of the charging battery is higher than that of the power battery, the working power of the power conversion apparatus is switched from the auxiliary power to the charging power.


Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, before determining the working power of the power conversion apparatus, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can be first determined.


Optionally, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can be determined by some state parameters of the charging power and the power battery. For example, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can be determined by electric quantity of the power battery. For another example, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can be determined on the basis of the temperature of the power battery. For another example, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can be determined on the basis of state of charge (State of Charge, SOC) or voltage of the power battery. Embodiments of the present application have no limit on the state parameter for determining the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery.


The power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery is determined on the basis of the electric quantity of the power battery, specifically, the power supply priority order of the two can be determined on the basis of a preset first threshold. For example, when the electric quantity of the power battery is higher than the first threshold, it is believed that the power battery is sufficient to provide a stable power for the power conversion apparatus, namely it is determined that the power supply priority of the power battery is higher than the power supply priority of the charging power. When the electric quantity of the power battery is less than or equal to the first threshold, it is believed that the power battery is insufficient to provide a table power for the power conversion apparatus, namely, it is determined that the power supply priority of the power battery is less than the power supply priority of the charging power.


Optionally, the power supply priority order of the charging power and the power battery can also be determined on the basis of the temperature of the power battery. Specifically, the power supply priority order of the two can be determined on the basis of a preset second threshold. For example, when the temperature of the power battery is higher than the second threshold, it is believed that the power battery is sufficient to provide stable power for the power conversion apparatus, namely, it is determined that the power supply priority of the power battery is higher than the power supply priority of the charging power. When the temperature of the power battery is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is believed that the power battery is insufficient to provide a stable power for the power conversion apparatus, namely, it is determined that the power supply priority of the power battery is less than the power supply priority of charging power.


It should be noted that, various thresholds in embodiments of the present application, such as the first threshold, the second threshold etc., all can be obtained by experience. In other words, they are obtained by a lot of experiments. It can be believed that, the first threshold or the second threshold is a critical value which can provide a table power for the power conversion apparatus.


Alternatively, it is defaulted that the power supply priority of the power battery is higher than the power supply priority of the charging power, namely, the power conversion apparatus directly regards the power battery as its working power.


The power supply priority order of the above-mentioned each power can also be preset in advance, and stored inside the power conversion apparatus. For example, the power supply priority order of a standard grid 1, an external direct current power 2, an auxiliary power 3, a charging power 4 and a power battery 5 be in advance preset as: 5>4>2>1>3. For another example, the priority order can be: 5>2>4>1>3.


In order to avoid the impact of the output power difference of the auxiliary power of different charging piles on the power supply of the power conversion apparatus, in embodiments of the present application, the power supply priority of the auxiliary power can be set as the lowest.


Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, when the power conversion apparatus acquires multiple powers, the multiple powers can first be converted into the working power of the power conversion apparatus, then one is chosen to provide the power supply for the power conversion apparatus. Or one power can also be chosen from the multiple powers first, and then be converted into the working power of the power conversion apparatus to provide a power supply for it.


When the power conversion apparatus is in an off-line debugging mode, in other words, the power conversion apparatus is in course of development and maintaining, namely, the power conversion apparatus is not connected with the charging pile or the power battery, a standard grid or an external direct current power can provide the power supply for the power conversion apparatus. When it is required to provide a power supply for the power conversion apparatus by using the standard grid, the standard grid can be first converted into a direct current.


Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, the power supply can be provided directly to the power conversion apparatus by the standard grid, thereby reducing the complexity of the system power supply strategy.


Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, when the power conversion apparatus can acquire multiple powers, the working power of the power conversion apparatus can also be switched among the multiple powers. Specifically, the working power of the power conversion apparatus can be switched from the power with a lower power supply priority to the power with a higher power supply priority.
