When thepower control system 2 controls the charging process of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 and the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 reaches the float charging voltage, thebattery management system 3 starts an electrolyte circulating system, and the electrolyte is pumped into the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 and is circulated inside and outside, so that the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is in a rich solution state; when the charging is stopped, thebattery management system 3 stops the electrolyte circulation system and draws out the electrolyte inside the nickel-metal hydride battery 1 to be in a lean state.
In this embodiment, the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1 may be formed by connecting a plurality of single nickel-metal hydride batteries in series, where the number of the single nickel-metal hydride batteries is (rated voltage/1.2) of the nickel-metal hydride battery pack) + n, and n is 1 or 2. The voltage platform characteristics of the nickel-metal hydride battery and the nickel-cadmium battery are the same, but the nickel-cadmium battery does not expand in the charging process, but the nickel-metal hydride battery expands, so that in order to reduce the expansion rate of the nickel-metal hydride battery, the total number of the nickel-metal hydride battery can be more than that of the nickel-cadmium battery according to the specific grouping number, and the total voltage rises faster than that of the nickel-cadmium battery, so that the nickel-metal hydride battery can enter a float charging stage in advance, and the total electric quantity of the charged battery is reduced. The number of the added single batteries cannot be too large, and too much leads to too fast the time for the batteries to enter the floating charge so that the charge quantity is not too much. The operation rating of the nickel-metal hydride battery pack is an operation voltage required by the electric device, for example, the operation voltage of the electric device is 72V, and the number of the single nickel-metal hydride batteries to be configured is 72/1.2+1 to 61 or 72/1.2+2 to 62.
The single nickel-metal hydride battery can be an open alkaline secondary battery with a square plastic battery shell or a square stainless steel shell, the open battery is convenient for electrolyte, and gas generated in the battery can easily come out during charging and is jointly gathered in the liquid storage tank to form the consistent gas pressure among the single nickel-metal hydride batteries.

When the preset float charging voltage is reached, the charge SOC (residual charge) of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 reaches 70-80%.
When the charging and floating charging stage is carried out, after the electric valve 9 and the pump 5 are opened, the electrolyte flows out of the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 4 and flows into the liquid inlet pipe 8, then flows into the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1, then flows into theliquid outlet pipe 6 and then flows into the liquid inlet of the liquid storage tank 4, and the electrolyte is intermittently circulated between the liquid storage tank 4 and the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 under the action of the pump 5 on the liquid inlet. The intermittent circulation is that after thebattery management system 3 starts the pump 5, the pump 5 is controlled to be intermittently closed and opened until the floating charging stops, thebattery management system 3 closes the electric valve 9, the pump 5 is controlled to continue working, the pump 5 is stopped after the set time is delayed, the flowing electrolyte in the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is pumped out, and the electrolyte flows back to the liquid storage tank 4.

Example 2
Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of an operating method of a nickel-metal hydride battery pack for a railway vehicle according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the present embodiment provides an operation method of a nickel-metal hydride battery pack for a railway vehicle, and on the basis of embodiment 1, provides an operation method of a nickel-metal hydride battery pack for a railway vehicle as described in embodiment 1. The method comprises the following steps:
step 1: the method comprises the following steps that a nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is manually started, the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 supplies power to abattery management system 3 through a low-voltage circuit, thebattery management system 3 is electrified and carries out self-checking, after the self-checking is completed, thebattery management system 3 controls a discharging end and a charging end of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 to be communicated, namely, a chargingcontactor 13 and a dischargingcontactor 17 are communicated, and apower control system 2 starts self-checking and works when the discharging end is electrified. After the chargingcontactor 13 is communicated with the dischargingcontactor 17, the charging can be received at any time, and if the load electric equipment needs to be discharged, the discharging can also be carried out at any time.
Step 2: thepower control system 2 controls the process of discharging the discharging end to the electric equipment and controls the process of charging the charging end of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 by the charging power supply.
Thepower control system 2 can set programs according to specific working requirements to control the charging and discharging processes of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1. In the embodiment, the process of controlling the charging and discharging operations of the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1 by thepower control system 2 is that when the railway vehicle runs, thepower control system 2 controls the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1 to discharge to the low-voltage electric equipment, and thepower control system 2 converts high voltage electricity of the railway vehicle into low-voltage direct current electricity to charge the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1; when the rail vehicle stops running, thepower control system 2 controls the hydrogen battery pack to discharge to the emergency power supply system, and thepower control system 2 controls the high-voltage electricity on the rail vehicle to stop charging the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1.
And step 3: during the discharging and/or charging process, thebattery management system 3 detects the voltage and charging current of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 during the charging process in real time,
when the voltage reaches the preset float charge voltage, thebattery management system 3 opens the electric valve 9 and the pump 5, and the electrolyte in the liquid storage tank 4 circulates between the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1 and the liquid storage tank 4 along with the pump 5; thebattery management system 3 is internally provided with a preset float charging voltage, and when the float charging is reached, the charge SOC of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 reaches 70% -80%.
Detecting the stop of the charging current, thebattery management system 3 closes the electric valve 9 and turns off the pump 5 with a delay of a set time. At this time, thebattery management system 3 performs primary correction of the SOC of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1.
In the charging process, the voltage of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 gradually rises, when the voltage rises to the floating charging voltage, the voltage is basically stable, but the charging current begins to drop and falls to a certain extent and is stable; when thepower control system 2 controls the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 to stop floating charging, the charging current is stopped.
The electrolyte in the liquid storage tank 4 circulates between the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 and the liquid storage tank 4 along with the pump 5, and the circulation is intermittent. The intermittent circulation is that after thebattery management system 3 starts the pump 5, the pump 5 is controlled to be intermittently closed and opened until the floating charging stops, thebattery management system 3 closes the electric valve 9, the pump 5 is controlled to continue working, the pump 5 is stopped after the set time is delayed, the flowing electrolyte in the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is pumped out, and the electrolyte flows back to the liquid storage tank 4. The intermittent cycle can be that the pump 5 is started every 3-10 minutes, and the starting time lasts for 5-60 s every time, so that the solution in the connectingpipe 18 is prevented from filling to form a loop.
And 4, step 4: after thebattery management system 3 detects that the charging current stops, the charging power supply stops charging the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1, and the electric valve 9 and the pump 5 are closed. The nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 still supplies power to thepower control system 2 and discharges power to the electric equipment, the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 continuously outputs power, if the railway vehicle stops for a short time and then starts to operate, thepower control system 2 controls the charging power supply to charge the charging end of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1, and thestep 3 is repeated;
if the electric quantity of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is consumed to a certain degree, the rail vehicle still does not start to operate, namely thepower control system 2 does not control the charging power supply to charge the charging end of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1, the electric quantity of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 is lower than the set minimum electric quantity, thebattery management system 3 controls the discharging end and the charging end of the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 to be disconnected, thepower control system 2 is powered off, and thebattery management system 3 is powered off. The set minimum electric quantity can be the charge quantity SOC of the nickel-hydrogen battery is 10-20%.
When the charge capacity of the nickel-metal hydride battery is lower than the set minimum electric quantity, thebattery management system 3 is required to control the nickel-metal hydride battery pack 1 to automatically power off so as to avoid over-discharge. After the rail vehicle stops running, under a normal condition, the dischargingcontactor 17 of the default discharging end and the chargingcontactor 13 of the charging end are communicated so as to be used at any time, long-time stop running is not eliminated, an operator forgets to manually disconnect the nickel-hydrogen battery pack 1 to enable the nickel-hydrogen battery pack to be over-discharged, and thebattery management system 3 can monitor the SOC of the battery pack in real time and control the on-off of the dischargingcontactor 17 and the chargingcontactor 13.
After the power of thebattery management system 3 is cut off, if the rail vehicle is started to operate, the step 1 needs to be carried out, and the cycle starts.
The nickel-metal hydride battery 1 is in a lean state in the early stage of discharge and charge, and in a rich state in the late stage of charge.
