It will be appreciated that the modem may not be integrated into the processor and may be implemented solely by a single communication chip.
For example, if the charging control system of the rechargeable battery is applied to the vehicle, the controller 120 may be a processor specifically provided in a central control device in the vehicle, or may be a separately provided processor, which is not specifically limited herein, and may be set according to actual requirements.
The first preset state of charge threshold may be 92%, 95% or 97%, etc., and may be set according to actual requirements.
The controller 120 may be connected to the voltage conversion device 110 and the high-voltage power supply device 130 by a wired connection or by a wireless communication connection, and may be selected according to actual requirements.
In one embodiment, the controller 120, the voltage conversion device 110 and the high-voltage power supply device 130 may be connected by a communication bus.
The controller 120 may acquire the target voltage (the first target voltage or the second target voltage) in real time to control the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage value corresponding to the target voltage according to the target voltage acquired in real time. The target voltage may also be obtained in a preset time period every interval, so that the voltage conversion device 110 is controlled to output a voltage value corresponding to the target voltage according to the obtained target voltage, where the preset time period may be 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5 seconds, and is not limited herein.
The terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200 specifically refers to a voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the rechargeable battery 200, which may be detected by a battery management system of the rechargeable battery 200, or may be detected by an external battery detection device or apparatus, which is not specifically limited herein, and may be set according to actual requirements.
In one embodiment of the present application, the system 100 further includes a battery detection device 140, which is connected to the controller 120, for detecting a terminal voltage and a state of charge value of the rechargeable battery 200.
The battery detection device 140 may be a device integrated with a battery management system.
The rechargeable battery 200 may be a lithium battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, or the like.
In one embodiment of the present application, the rechargeable battery 200 is a lithium battery.
The lithium battery may be a battery using a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, which uses lithium metal or a lithium alloy as a positive/negative electrode material. The battery may be a battery of various shapes made of lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive/negative electrode material and using a polymer as the electrolyte, and is not particularly limited herein, and may be selected or set according to actual needs.
The first target voltage value may be obtained by accumulating the first preset voltage value and the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200.
The first preset voltage value may specifically be 0.1V, 0.2V, or 0.15V, etc., which is not limited in particular, and may be set according to actual requirements.
The second target voltage value may be obtained by accumulating the second preset voltage value, the first preset voltage value, and the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200 according to the second preset voltage value, the first preset voltage value, and the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200.
The second preset voltage value may be 0.05V, 0.07V, or 0.1V, as long as the second preset voltage value is smaller than the first preset voltage value.
Since the accuracy of the voltage conversion device that can adjust the voltage is typically 0.2V, 0.1V, or 0.05V, etc., there may be a case where the actual voltage output from the voltage conversion device 110 does not coincide with the target voltage, that is, the voltage output from the voltage conversion device 110 does not coincide with the target voltage when outputting the voltage corresponding to the target voltage. There may be a case where the output voltage is greater than the target voltage, or a case where the output voltage is less than the target voltage.
For example, if the accuracy of the voltage conversion device of the adjustable voltage is 0.1V, the first preset voltage value is 0.1V, after the first preset voltage value and the terminal voltage obtain the first target voltage, the controller 120 controls the voltage conversion device of the adjustable voltage to perform voltage conversion, where the voltage range corresponding to the first target voltage obtained by conversion should be between [ terminal voltage, terminal voltage+0.2v ], if the voltage value corresponding to the first target voltage is not greater than the terminal voltage, the situation that the rechargeable battery 200 cannot be charged may be caused, so that the controller 120 can ensure that the voltage is always greater than the terminal voltage 200 by charging the rechargeable battery by adding a second preset voltage value (e.g. 0.05V) to the first target voltage when the voltage value corresponding to the first target voltage is not greater than the terminal voltage, and when the voltage conversion device of the adjustable voltage performs voltage conversion after the second target voltage is obtained, the voltage range corresponding to the first target voltage obtained by conversion should be between [ terminal voltage+0.05, and terminal voltage+0.25v ].
The present application provides a charging control system 100 using a rechargeable battery, wherein a voltage conversion device 110 in the system 100 is connected to the rechargeable battery 200, a controller 120 is connected to the voltage conversion device 110, and is configured to send a first voltage conversion instruction including a first target voltage value to the voltage conversion device 110 to instruct the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to the first target voltage to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200 when the state of charge value of the rechargeable battery 200 is greater than a first preset state of charge threshold, wherein the first target voltage value is obtained according to a first preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200, and the controller 120 is further configured to send a second voltage conversion instruction including a second target voltage value to the voltage conversion device 110 to instruct the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to a second target voltage value to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200 when the voltage corresponding to the first target voltage is not greater than the first target voltage, wherein the second target voltage value is obtained according to the second preset voltage value, the first preset voltage value and the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200 is greater than the first target voltage value. Therefore, when the rechargeable battery 200 is charged quickly (the state of charge value of the rechargeable battery 200 is greater than the first preset state of charge threshold), the rechargeable battery 200 is continuously charged with a smaller voltage, so as to avoid the condition of overcharge, and meanwhile, the condition that charging cannot be performed when the charging voltage is smaller than the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200 in the charging process can be avoided.
In order to improve the charging efficiency when the rechargeable battery 200 is charged, in the present application, the controller 120 is further configured to output, to the voltage conversion device 110, a third voltage conversion instruction including a third target voltage value, when the state of charge value is greater than a second preset state of charge threshold and less than or equal to the first preset state of charge threshold, to instruct the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to the third target voltage to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200, where the third target voltage value is obtained according to a third preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200, and the third preset voltage value is greater than the first preset voltage value.
The second state of charge threshold may be 75%, 78%, 80%, 82% or 85%, etc., and may be set according to actual requirements.
The second preset voltage value may be 0.25V, 0.3V, or 0.4V, etc., which is set according to the actual requirement.
The third target voltage value may be obtained by accumulating the third preset voltage value and the terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200.
By adopting the above arrangement, it is possible to realize charging with a higher voltage when the state of charge value of the rechargeable battery 200 is greater than the second state of charge threshold and less than the first state of charge threshold, thereby improving charging efficiency.
In still another embodiment of the present application, the controller 120 is further configured to output, to the voltage conversion device 110, a fourth voltage conversion instruction including a fourth target voltage value, when the state of charge value is less than or equal to the second preset state of charge threshold, to instruct the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to the fourth target voltage to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200, wherein the fourth target voltage value is obtained according to a fourth preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200, and the fourth preset voltage value is greater than the third preset voltage value.
The third preset voltage value may be 0.5V, 0.6V or 0.8V, etc., which is set according to the actual requirement. By adopting the above arrangement of the present application, when the charge amount of the rechargeable battery 200 is too low (the state of charge value is lower than the second preset state of charge threshold value), the charging is performed in a high voltage manner (the fourth target voltage) to achieve rapid charging, so as to further improve the charging efficiency.
By adopting the above arrangement of the present application, in the charging process, when the state of charge value of the battery is lower than the second preset state of charge threshold value in the first stage, high-voltage charging (fourth target voltage) is adopted to realize rapid charging, when the voltage is between the first preset state of charge threshold value and the second state of charge threshold value, higher voltage (third target voltage) is adopted to charge at a faster speed, and when the state of charge value is higher than the first preset state of charge threshold value, the first target voltage or the second target voltage is adopted to charge, so that the situation that the rechargeable battery 200 cannot be overcharged while the rechargeable battery 200 can be charged is ensured, and thus the charging efficiency is improved.
Referring to fig. 3, for example, taking the first state of charge threshold value of 95% and the second state of charge threshold value of 80%, the first preset voltage value of 0.1V, the second preset voltage value of 0.05V, the third preset voltage of 0.3V, and the fourth preset voltage of 0.5V as an example, when the charging control system 100 is powered on, the high voltage power supply device 130 starts to operate, the high voltage power supply voltage conversion device 110 may perform voltage conversion to supply to the electric device and charge the rechargeable battery 200, and specifically, when the rechargeable battery 200 is charged, the following steps may be performed:
step S11 the battery management system of the rechargeable battery 200 detects a state of charge value (SOC, i.e., electric quantity) and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200. If the state of charge value is lower than 80%, and the battery management system of the rechargeable battery 200 detects that the battery terminal voltage is U20, step S12 is performed, in which the battery management system of the rechargeable battery 200 sends a charging request to the controller 120, and the requested voltage is U21, where U21=U20+△U21 is a fourth preset voltage Δu21 =0.5v, and step S13, the controller 120 outputs a fourth voltage conversion command including a fourth target voltage value (voltage U21) to the voltage conversion device 110, so as to start charging the rechargeable battery 200 according to the constant voltage U21. Step S14, when the state of charge of the rechargeable battery 200 reaches the second preset state of charge threshold, the internal battery management system of the rechargeable battery 200 sends a charging request to the controller 120, and the request voltage is U11(U11=U10+△U11), wherein the third preset voltage Δu11 =0.3v, step S15, the controller 120 sends a third voltage conversion command including a third target voltage value (voltage U11) to the voltage conversion device 110, instructing the voltage conversion device 110 to charge the rechargeable battery 200 according to the constant voltage U11, step S16, if the state of charge is higher than the 95% soc, the battery detection module of the rechargeable battery 200 detects the terminal voltage U30, the internal battery management system of the rechargeable battery sends a charging request to the controller 120, and the request voltage is U31(U31=U30+△U31), the first preset voltage Δu31 =0.1v, and step S17, the controller 120 outputs a first voltage conversion command including the first target voltage value (voltage U31) to the voltage conversion device 110, so as to output the voltage U32 to the rechargeable battery 200. Because the voltage accuracy of the voltage conversion device is 0.1V, step S18 is to charge according to the voltage U32 if the voltage conversion device actually outputs the voltage U32>U30, and step S19 is to send a charging request to the controller 120 by the internal battery management system if the voltage conversion device actually outputs the voltage U32≤U30, requesting the voltage U33(U33=U30+△U31 +0.05). In step S20, the controller 120 outputs and sends a second voltage conversion command including a second target voltage value (voltage U11) to the voltage conversion device 110, so as to charge the output voltage U33 of the rechargeable battery 200 to the terminal voltage U33. the constant voltage charge of the battery is carried out by adopting a 0.1V step voltage (0.05V is compensated when necessary) until the battery is full of electricity, and then the charging is stopped.

step S110, acquiring the state of charge value and terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200.
Step S120, if the state of charge value is greater than a first preset state of charge threshold, a first voltage conversion command including a first target voltage value is sent to the voltage conversion device 110 to instruct the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to the first target voltage to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200.
Wherein the first target voltage value is obtained according to a first preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200.
Step S130, if the voltage corresponding to the first target voltage is not greater than the first target voltage, a second voltage conversion command including a second target voltage value is sent to the voltage conversion device 110, and the voltage conversion device 110 is instructed to output a voltage corresponding to the second target voltage value to the rechargeable battery 200 to charge the rechargeable battery 200.
The second target voltage value is obtained according to a second preset voltage value, the first preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200, wherein the second target voltage value is greater than the first target voltage value, and the first preset voltage value is greater than the second preset voltage value.
It should be appreciated that after performing step S110, the controller 120 may also compare the state of charge value with the first and second preset state of charge thresholds. If the threshold is greater than the first preset state of charge threshold, step S120 is performed.
In one embodiment, if the state of charge value is greater than a second preset state of charge threshold and less than or equal to the first preset state of charge threshold, the method further comprises:
And outputting and transmitting a third voltage conversion instruction including a third target voltage value to the voltage conversion device 110, wherein the third target voltage value is obtained according to a third preset voltage value and a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery 200, and the third preset voltage value is larger than the first preset voltage value, and instructing the voltage conversion device 110 to output a voltage corresponding to the third target voltage to the rechargeable battery 200 so as to charge the rechargeable battery 200.
