A kind of lithium battery group initiatively equalizing charge system and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to lithium battery group balancing technique.
Background technology
The voltage of cell and capacity cannot practical requirement, and batteries series connection often uses by electric motor car, and in electric automobile, the quantity of lithium battery can reach hundreds of joint.The cycle life of single lithium battery generally can reach several thousand times, but due to the inconsistency between lithium battery, series battery is difficult to reach this level, and when serial battery uses, charge efficiency, discharge capability etc. also can be affected.Current cell manufacturing techniques, especially lithium battery manufacturing technology are difficult to accomplish that consistency is good, and therefore series battery is necessary to do equilibrium treatment very much, to improve battery performance, extend battery pack useful life.
Consuming type equalization scheme adopts resistor coupled in parallel loading sharing, consumes excessive power by shunt resistance.When charging, by the voltage detecting of cell, when certain joint cell reaches upper voltage limit, the switch of the resistance balancer that conducting is in parallel with it, this batteries and resistance is made to form a discharge path, unnecessary energy is changed into heat energy on resistance, prevents this batteries from overcharging, the battery of underfill still can continue charging.The method can bring energy loss, and heating is large, and for jumbo battery pack, or differ between battery in larger battery pack and be not suitable for, efficiency is lower, is not suitable for quick charging system simultaneously.
Utilize electric capacity, inductance as intermediate energy storage element in non-consuming type equilibrium, shifted by the electricity on each cell, in program practical application, electric energy transfer efficiency is not high, is not suitable in the more battery pack of series connection joint number.In addition, electric capacity, inductance are nonlinear device, in thermal energy storage process electric current and voltage disproportionate, especially electric capacity has considerable influence by the life-span of gating switch.This scheme also exist antijamming capability low, control difficult, high in cost of production shortcoming.
Chinese patent 200820133032.9 discloses a kind of balanced management system for series connected battery pack, and both-end relay normally open contact is connected on monomer both ends of power respectively, and normal-closed end is connected with adjacent relay normal-closed end, and control end is connected with gating circuit.The shortcoming of this method is, when contact adhesion situation appears in Relay Aging, occurs the serious consequence of cell short circuit during another group relay of gating.
Chinese patent 02127989.6 discloses and a kind ofly carries out a point scheme for a charge balancing to storage battery, is charged respectively by the switching of relay to the battery be not full of, till every batteries is full of.This method has following shortcomings, and first is that charge efficiency is low; Second is that cost is high, and especially during large current charge, the relay of big current is more expensive, and system lifetim is lower; 3rd is that fail safe is lower, if have two relays to break down (bonding of such as getting an electric shock) in so many relays, so just the battery of series connection is connected in parallel again battery be short-circuited, catch fire, the accident such as blast, there is larger potential safety hazard.
Chinese patent 2006101571109.1 discloses a kind of voltage balance management device of dynamic battery pack, charging gating module is passed through with the battery that electric discharge gating module is the highest to voltage and voltage is minimum through row difference gating in system, middle by the connection of isolation DC-DC module, during discharge and recharge, the energy of battery high for voltage is moved in the lower battery of voltage, when finally realizing discharge and recharge, all cell voltages are consistent.In the program, Circuits System will control charging gating and electric discharge gating module simultaneously, and control comparatively complicated like this, cost is higher.In system, any one gating switch goes wrong and all can bring the danger of short circuit to battery, and fail safe is lower, and also do not solve the potential safety hazard adopting relay to bring as gating switch, this will reduce stability and the reliability of equalizing system greatly.
