The balance method of battery capacity of battery system, device and pure electric automobile
Technical field
The present invention relates to pure electric automobile battery system technical field, be specifically related to a kind of balance method of battery capacity of battery system, device and pure electric automobile.
Background technology
Existing pure electric automobile generally adopts lithium ion battery as actuating force, the positive electrode of lithium ion battery has a variety of, mainly contain cobalt acid lithium, LiMn2O4, lithium nickelate, ter-polymers, LiFePO4 etc., wherein the advantage such as ferric phosphate lithium cell security performance is high, the life-span is long because having, high-temperature behavior is good, capacity is large, memory-less effect, lightweight, environmental protection and being widely used in pure electric automobile.
Because the rated voltage of lithium ion single battery only has 3.2V, and the rated voltage of electrokinetic cell that pure electric automobile uses can be met generally at more than 300V, so electrokinetic cell adopts usually by multiple lithium ion single battery by going here and there and connecting the power brick (i.e. battery system) assembled, therefore the consistency difference between each lithium ion single battery in power brick can have a strong impact on the performances such as the life-span of power brick.
For the characteristic of lithium ion battery itself, in power brick, the performance of each lithium ion single battery cannot reach completely the same.First, the production technology of lithium ion battery inherently can cause that the capacity of each lithium ion battery is inconsistent, resistance is inconsistent and voltage is inconsistent; Secondly, although all can screen wherein each lithium ion single battery before assembled battery bag, to screen out the cell of consistency difference, thus strengthen matching degree, but the inconsistent of power brick running environment also can cause the consistency difference wherein between each lithium ion single battery to increase; Again, power brick in use, because the rate of decay of wherein each lithium ion single battery capacity is different, inconsistent its working temperature that causes of the internal resistance of each lithium ion single battery is different, therefore cause the depth of discharge of each lithium ion single battery different, circulation like this worsens, and makes the difference of each lithium ion single battery initial performance parameter constantly accumulate and amplify, causes the performance of power brick constantly to decline.
In order to solve the problem, prior art proposes the scheme adopting vehicle-mounted equalizer to realize battery capacity equilibrium, but this scheme is not too applicable to ferric phosphate lithium cell.Because the flash-over characteristic of ferric phosphate lithium cell is: discharge curve has good discharge platform, and the battery capacity of platform section accounts for 80% of total battery capacity, therefore battery capacity and cell voltage or other battery parameters easily obtained there is no good corresponding relation.If adopt existing vehicle-mounted equalizer to carry out battery capacity real time equaliser to ferric phosphate lithium cell, then in balance policy and equalization algorithm, be proposed strict requirement, and real time equaliser requires that each balanced battery capacity is less, this just requires that equalization algorithm must be very accurate, be unfavorable for applying, therefore existing scheme is not too applicable to ferric phosphate lithium cell.
To sum up, need one at present badly and carry out battery capacity equilibrium and simple, effective method for ferric phosphate lithium cell.

Embodiment
For making those skilled in the art understand technical scheme of the present invention better, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the balance method of battery capacity of battery system of the present invention, device and pure electric automobile are described in further detail.
Embodiment 1:
As shown in Figure 1, the present embodiment provides a kind of balance method of battery capacity of battery system, described battery system comprises multiple cell, because the structure of battery system belongs to prior art, therefore the connected mode of multiple cells wherein also belongs to prior art, can by those skilled in the art according to the actual requirements with series connection, or the mode such as connection in series-parallel combination is assembled, and does not repeat them here.
Described method comprises the steps:
S101. charge until charge cutoff to described battery system, to make battery system be in full power state, and the voltage of all cells in battery system when recording charge cutoff.
Because described battery system can be used in automobile, therefore external 220V power supply can be adopted to charge to automobile thus charge to battery system, and can adopt in battery system charging process (starting to charge cutoff from charging) that the battery management system (BMS) of automobile is real-time be detected and record the voltage of all cells in the global voltage of battery system and battery system.
Each cell that when s102. selecting charge cutoff, in battery system, voltage is higher, carries out equalization discharge to each cell selected successively or simultaneously.
In described step s102, each cell that when selecting charge cutoff, in battery system, voltage is higher is specially:
Pre-set upper voltage limit value, when charge cutoff, if the voltage of the one or more cells in battery system is greater than default described upper voltage limit value, then judge that described one or more cell is as the higher cell of voltage, and select the numbering of the higher described one or more cell of voltage.Wherein, described upper voltage limit value can by those skilled in the art's sets itself according to the actual requirements.
In described step s102, successively or equalization discharge is carried out to each cell selected simultaneously and be specially:

(described initial charge curve can be provided by cell production companies the initial charge curve of the cell that reference is identical with the model of each cell selected, and the voltage of cell and the corresponding relation of capacity during charge cutoff known according to initial charge curve), the capacity of each cell selected when calculating charge cutoff respectively according to described initial charge curve and the difference of the capacity mean value of each cell (other cells) be not selected, this difference i.e. capacity of required electric discharge;
S102-2. equalization discharge:
The capacity discharged needed for each cell described in calculating, when battery system charge cutoff, (when battery system is in full power state) adopts existing equalizer or load to carry out equalization discharge to each cell described successively or simultaneously, to eliminate unnecessary capacity, namely, the capacity discharged needed for each cell described is discharged, instead of transfers on each cell of not being selected.
