The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be used for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a charging control device 10, and the charging control device 10 includes a charging circuit 110 and a battery pack control management unit 120. The charging circuit 110 connects the battery pack 20 and the cradle 30 to transmit the charging voltage provided by the cradle 30 to the plurality of batteries of the battery pack 20, respectively. The battery pack 20 management unit is connected to the charging circuit 110, the battery pack 20 and the charging dock 30, the battery pack control management unit 120 is configured to detect battery voltages of the batteries in the battery pack 20, and the battery pack control management unit 120 is configured to control the charging dock 30 to provide a first charging voltage to charge the first battery 210 when a first battery voltage of the first battery 210 is less than a second battery voltage of the second battery 220, so as to charge the first battery 210 to a first regulated voltage. The difference value between the second battery voltage and the first regulating voltage is smaller than a first voltage threshold value, and the first charging voltage is not smaller than the first regulating voltage. The battery pack control and management unit 120 is further configured to control the cradle 30 to provide a second charging voltage to charge the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 when the first battery 210 is charged to the first regulated voltage so as to charge the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 to the target battery voltage. The target battery voltage is greater than the second battery voltage and the first regulation voltage, and the second charging voltage is not less than the target battery voltage.

Specifically, in the related art, a dc fast charging socket is often used to connect a charging device to charge the battery pack 20. However, since the battery pack 20 includes a plurality of batteries, and the power consumption of the plurality of batteries is different, when the battery with a large power consumption is charged, the difference between the battery voltage and the charging voltage is large, so that the charging current is large, and the battery with a large power consumption generates heat seriously. Long term this results in a reduced battery life.

In the charge control device 10 according to the embodiment of the present application, the battery pack control management unit 120 detects the battery voltages of the respective batteries in the battery pack 20, and controls the charging dock 30 to provide the first charging voltage to charge the first battery 210, so that the first battery 210 is charged to the first adjustment voltage, and controls the charging dock 30 to provide the second charging voltage to charge the first battery 210 and the second battery 220, so that the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 are charged to the target battery voltage, and thus the charging current can be kept small, the heat generation amount of the batteries can be controlled, and the service life of the batteries can be prolonged.

Further, the first battery voltage may be a battery voltage of the first battery 210, that is, a voltage of the first battery 210 when charging. The second battery voltage is the same. When the first battery voltage is lower than the second battery voltage, the battery pack control and management unit 120 is connected to the charging dock 30 through the CAN bus, and controls the charging dock 30 to provide the first charging voltage to charge the first battery 210, so that the first battery voltage is raised to the first regulation voltage.

When the first battery voltage rises to the first regulation voltage, the battery pack control management unit 120 controls the cradle 30 to supply the second charging voltage to charge the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 so that the first battery voltage and the second battery voltage rise to the target battery voltage.

In this manner, the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 by the charging control device 10 is completed. Under the condition of ensuring that the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 is finished, the charging current in the batteries can be kept small, so that the heat generation amount of the batteries is controlled, and the service life of the batteries is prolonged.

The first charging voltage is not less than the first regulation voltage, and the difference between the second battery voltage and the first regulation voltage is less than the first voltage threshold. The target battery voltage is greater than the second battery voltage and the first regulation voltage, and the second charging voltage is not less than the target battery voltage. The first voltage threshold may be set according to factors such as performance of the charge control device 10, battery performance, and usage scenario of the charge control device 10, and is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1V, 3V, 5V, 8V, 10V, 0.5V, and the like.

When the first battery voltage 80V is less than the second battery voltage 90V, the battery pack control and management unit 120 controls the charging cradle 30 to charge the first battery 210 to provide the first charging voltage 92V, so that the first battery voltage is raised from 80V to the first regulated voltage 89V.

When the first battery voltage rises to the first regulation voltage 89V, the battery pack control management unit 120 controls the charging cradle 30 to supply the second charging voltage 100V to the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 for charging so that the first battery voltage and the second battery voltage rise to the target battery voltage 100V.

In this manner, the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 by the charging control device 10 is completed. Under the condition of ensuring that the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 is finished, the charging current in the batteries can be kept small, so that the heat generation amount of the batteries is controlled, and the service life of the batteries is prolonged.

In some embodiments, the first battery voltage is a minimum battery voltage of the plurality of batteries, and the second battery voltage is a battery voltage of the plurality of batteries that has a minimum difference from the first battery voltage.

In some embodiments, the number of first batteries 210 is one or more.

Specifically, while detecting the cell voltages of the respective cells in the battery pack 20, the battery pack control management unit 120 may also be configured to determine the first cell 210 having the smallest cell voltage among the plurality of cells, at which the second cell voltage of the second cell 220 is greater than the first cell voltage of the first cell 210. In addition, in the case where two or more batteries in the battery pack 20 are the same as the minimum voltage of the plurality of batteries, the battery pack control and management unit 120 controls the charging dock 30 to provide the first charging voltage to charge the first battery 210, so that the first battery voltage is raised to the first regulation voltage, considering the battery with the minimum voltage as the first battery 210.

When the first battery voltage rises to the first regulation voltage, the battery pack control management unit 120 controls the cradle 30 to supply the second charging voltage to charge the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 so that the first battery voltage and the second battery voltage rise to the target battery voltage.

In some embodiments, the battery pack 20 includes 2 batteries each having a voltage of 80V and 1 battery having a voltage of 90V, and the 2 batteries having a voltage of 80V are regarded as the first battery 210, and the battery having a voltage of 90V is regarded as the second battery 220. That is, the first battery voltage is 80V, and the second battery voltage is 90V. The first charging voltage is provided to be 92V, the first regulation voltage is 89V, the second charging voltage is 100V, and the target battery voltage is 100V.

When the first battery voltage 80V is less than the second battery voltage 90V, the battery pack control and management unit 120 controls the charging cradle 30 to charge the first battery 210 to provide the first charging voltage 92V, so that the first battery voltage is raised from 80V to the first regulated voltage 89V.

When the first battery voltage rises to the first regulation voltage 89V, the battery pack control management unit 120 controls the charging cradle 30 to supply the second charging voltage 100V to the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 for charging so that the first battery voltage and the second battery voltage rise to the target battery voltage 100V.

In this manner, the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 by the charging control device 10 is completed. Under the condition of ensuring that the charging of the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 is finished, the charging current in the batteries can be kept small, so that the heat generation amount of the batteries is controlled, and the service life of the batteries is prolonged.

It is understood that the number of the second batteries 220 may be one or more. The embodiment is similar to the first battery 210, and is not described herein again.

In some embodiments, the target battery voltage is determined from battery voltages of the plurality of batteries or from saturated battery voltages of the plurality of batteries.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the target battery voltage may be determined from battery voltages of a plurality of batteries. When the battery pack 20 includes 2 batteries each having a voltage of 80V, 2 batteries having a voltage of 90V, and 2 batteries having a voltage of 100V, the 2 batteries having a voltage of 80V are regarded as the first batteries 210 and the 2 batteries having a voltage of 90V are regarded as the second batteries 220 when the minimum battery voltage in the battery pack 20 is 80V (hereinafter, referred to as a first charging stage). When the minimum cell voltage in the battery pack 20 is 90V (hereinafter, referred to as a second charging stage), 4 cells having a voltage of 90V are regarded as the first cells 210, and 2 cells having a voltage of 100V are regarded as the second cells 220.

In the first charging stage, the first battery voltage is 80V, the second battery voltage is 90V, and the target battery voltage is determined to be 100V according to the second battery voltage. In the second charging stage, the first battery voltage is 90V, the second battery voltage is 100V, and the target battery voltage is determined to be 110V according to the second battery voltage.

In other embodiments, the target battery voltage may be determined based on the saturated battery voltages of the plurality of batteries. The battery pack 20 includes 2 batteries each having a voltage of 80V, 2 batteries each having a voltage of 90V, and 2 batteries each having a voltage of 100V, and the saturation voltage of the batteries is 120V. When the minimum cell voltage in the battery pack 20 is 80V, 2 cells with a voltage of 80V are regarded as the first cells 210, and 2 cells with a voltage of 90V are regarded as the second cells 220. When the minimum cell voltage in the battery pack 20 is 90V, 4 cells having a voltage of 90V are regarded as the first cells 210, and 2 cells having a voltage of 100V are regarded as the second cells 220.

In the first charging stage, the first battery voltage is 80V, the second battery voltage is 90V, and the target battery voltage is determined to be 100V according to the second battery voltage. In the second charging stage, the first battery voltage is 90V, the second battery voltage is 100V, and the target battery voltage is 120V according to the saturation voltages of the plurality of batteries.

In this way, when the first battery 210 and the second battery 220 are charged, the charging current can be kept small in the batteries, so that the heat generation amount of the batteries can be controlled, and the service life of the batteries can be prolonged.

In some embodiments, the battery control and management unit 120 is configured to control the cradle 30 to provide a third charging voltage to power the plurality of batteries to charge the plurality of batteries to a second regulation voltage when the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries are equal and the difference between the saturated battery voltage and the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries is greater than a second voltage threshold, the third charging voltage being not less than the second regulation voltage.

Specifically, the second voltage threshold may be set according to the performance of the charge control device 10, the performance of the battery, the usage scenario of the charge control device 10, and the like, and may be, for example, 8V, 10V, 15V, 20V, and the like, without limitation.

Under the condition that the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries are equal and the difference value between the saturated battery voltage and the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries is greater than the second voltage threshold, the saturated battery voltage is directly taken as the target battery voltage due to the large difference value between the saturated battery voltage and the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries, so that the battery charging current is possibly too large, and the batteries generate heat. Accordingly, the battery pack control management unit 120 controls the cradle 30 to supply the third charging voltage to the plurality of batteries to charge the plurality of batteries to the second regulation voltage.

In this way, when the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries are equal and the difference between the saturated battery voltage and the battery voltages of the plurality of batteries is greater than the second voltage threshold, the charging current can be kept small, so that the heat generation amount of the batteries is controlled, and the service life of the batteries is prolonged.

Specifically, the charging circuit 110 includes a copper bar bus interface 130 and a plurality of relays, the plurality of relays correspond to the plurality of batteries, the copper bar bus anode 1301 is connected to the plurality of batteries through the plurality of relays, and the copper bar bus cathode 1302 is directly connected to the batteries to form a charging loop. When the relay is closed, the battery connected to the relay starts charging. When the relay is disconnected, the battery connected to the relay stops charging. Wherein, the on or off of the relay is controlled by the multi-way field effect transistor driving subunit.

In this way, it is possible to realize control of whether or not to charge the battery.

In some embodiments, the battery pack 20 includes a weak current supply battery 230, and the weak current supply battery 230 is used to supply power to the battery pack control management unit 120.

Specifically, the weak current supply battery 230 is charged in the same manner as the other batteries in the battery pack 20, but in terms of the discharging manner, the weak current supply battery 230 is mainly used for supplying power to the battery pack control management unit 120, and the other batteries in the battery pack 20 may be used for supplying power to a device such as a vehicle, an aircraft, and an electronic device, which uses a large amount of power or requires a high voltage. The battery pack control and management unit 120 is connected to the weak current power supply battery 230 through a CAN bus, and communicates with the weak current power supply battery 230.

The weak current power supply battery 230 is used for supplying power to the battery pack control management unit 120, so that the normal operation of the charging control device 10 can be ensured, the safe charging of the battery pack 20 is realized, the heat productivity of the battery is controlled, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.

In some embodiments, the charging circuit 110 includes a voltage conversion module, which is connected to the weak current power supply battery 230 and a corresponding relay, and is used for converting the charging voltage provided by the cradle 30 into a weak current charging voltage charged by the weak current power supply battery 230.

Specifically, the voltage conversion module is connected to the weak current power supply battery 230, and converts the charging voltage provided by the charging dock 30 into the weak current charging voltage charged by the weak current power supply battery 230, so as to ensure the charging safety of the weak current power supply battery 230, control the heat value of the battery, and prolong the service life of the battery.

The voltage conversion module is also connected with a relay corresponding to the weak current power supply battery 230, and the multichannel fet driving subunit supplies the charging voltage to the weak current power supply battery 230 by controlling the on/off of the relay.
