Further, the corrected target charge amount is transmitted to the charge control unit for time period division and charge policy formulation in the subsequent charge process.
S2: based on the target charge amountThe charging process is divided into N time periods.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
S2.1: according to the corrected target charge amount Calculating an overall charge duration。
Specifically, the overall charge durationThe calculation formula of (2) is as follows:
;
Wherein, For the total charge duration period of time,To the corrected target charge amount,For the power rating of the charging system,The average charging efficiency is usually 0.8 to 0.9.
S2.2: and determining the optimal charging time length of the electric vehicle battery according to the real-time temperature value T.
Specifically, a corresponding optimal charging time length is obtained by searching a temperature-optimal charging time length relation data table; if the real-time temperature value T does not correspond to the lookup table accurately, the real-time temperature value T is obtained through calculation by a linear interpolation method.
S2.3: dividing the total charging time period by the optimal charging time period, and rounding up to obtain an initial time period number N.
It should be noted that, the rounding up is to ensure that the charging process can cover the whole target charging amount, avoid the charging deficiency, and N should be not less than 2.

Specifically, the calculation formula of the initial duration is as follows:
;
Wherein, For the initial duration of each time period,For the total charge duration, N is the initial period number.
S2.5: based on the current state of charge value SOC of the electric vehicle battery, the N time periods are divided into two charging phases.
Specifically, the charging stage includes a fast charging stage and a slow charging stage, and the dividing process is as follows: according to the current state of charge value SOC of the battery, calculating the fast charge stage proportion, wherein the calculation formula is as follows:
;
wherein, SOC is the current state of charge value.
Further, the function is such that: when the SOC is less than 0.2, the quick charge stage ratio is 1; when the SOC is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than 0.8, the quick charge stage ratio decreases linearly with increasing SOC; when the SOC is greater than or equal to 0.8, the rapid charge stage ratio is 0%.
Further, according to the calculated fast charging stage proportion, the number of time periods of the fast charging stage is determined, the corresponding number of time periods are divided into fast charging stages, and the remaining time periods are divided into slow charging stages.
Preferably, by the mode, smooth transition of the charging strategy along with the change of the SOC is realized, so that the rapid charging requirement at low SOC is ensured, excessive rapid charging at high SOC is avoided, and the charging efficiency is improved and the service life of the battery is prolonged.
S2.6: and selecting a corresponding charging power curve from a preset charging power curve library according to different charging stages.
In this embodiment, a constant-current charging curve is selected in the fast charging stage, and a constant-voltage charging curve is selected in the slow charging stage.
S2.7: the duration of each time period is dynamically adjusted according to the selected charging power profile.
Specifically, the dynamic adjustment process is as follows: upon initialization of each time period, determining an initial charge power for the time period based on the selected charge power curve; continuously monitoring the actual charge amount during the execution of the time period; at the end of each period, a deviation of the actual charge amount from the theoretical expected charge amount is calculated. Based on the deviation, the duration of the subsequent time period is adjusted accordingly: moderately extending the duration of the next time period when the actual charge amount is lower than expected; when the actual charge amount exceeds the expected amount, the duration of the next period is moderately shortened. This dynamic adjustment process is repeated until all of the predetermined time periods have ended. If the target charge amount is not achieved after the final time period is finished, continuing to prolong the duration of the last time period until the target charge amount requirement is met.
In addition, the adjustment amplitude is proportional to the difference, but the maximum adjustment limit (e.g., + -10% of the original duration) is set to avoid excessive fluctuation. Meanwhile, according to the adjusted duration, the charging power of the next time period is finely adjusted so as to keep consistency with the charging power curve.
S2.8: the durations of the N time periods and the corresponding charging power values are transmitted to a charging control unit for control of a subsequent charging process.
It should be noted that, the flowchart of duration calculation is shown in fig. 3.
S3: and at the beginning of each time period, charging the super capacitor to a first preset value by using the high-power charging device.
Specifically, the first preset value refers to a target charging voltage value of the supercapacitor, and the preset value is determined by the following manner: firstly, increasing a margin of 12% on the basis of the nominal voltage of an electric vehicle battery, and compensating the voltage drop loss in the subsequent charging process; then determining a voltage constraint condition that the upper voltage limit value cannot exceed 90% of rated voltage of the super capacitor; finally, limiting the initial voltage value in the constraint condition to obtain a final first preset value.
Furthermore, the invention adopts a constant power charging mode to charge the super capacitor. In the initial stage of charging, namely when the capacity of the super capacitor is 0-50%, controlling the maximum charging current not to exceed 1.5 times of the rated current so as to realize quick charging; when the capacity reaches 50-80%, limiting the maximum charging current to be within 1.2 times of the rated current, and avoiding excessive charging stress while ensuring the charging efficiency; when the capacity exceeds 80%, a linear regulation strategy is adopted to gradually reduce the charging current to 0.5 times of the rated current, so that the super capacitor is protected and the service life of the super capacitor is prolonged.
It should be noted that, during the whole charging process, the system continuously monitors the temperature change of the super capacitor. As soon as a temperature exceeding the threshold of 85 ℃ is detected, the control unit immediately reduces the charging power to 50% of the rated power until the temperature falls within the safe range. The dynamic temperature management strategy not only ensures the safety of the charging process, but also effectively avoids the performance attenuation of the super capacitor caused by overheat.
Preferably, through the sectional control strategy, the efficiency of the charging process of the super capacitor is guaranteed, and the effective protection of the super capacitor is realized. Meanwhile, through the cooperation of temperature monitoring and a power adjusting mechanism, the safety and the reliability of the charging process are ensured.

Specifically, continuously collecting a buffer output voltage value and a buffer output current value of an output end of the LC buffer circuit; the buffer output voltage value and the rate of change of the buffer output current value are calculated, and in this embodiment, a sliding window method is used for calculating the rate of change.
Further, whether the system meets the condition that the change rate of the buffer output voltage value is smaller than a second preset value or not is judged, and the change rate of the buffer output current value is smaller than a third preset value, if yes, the disconnection operation of the high-power charging device is executed. The disconnecting operation includes: controlling the high-power charging device to gradually reduce the output power, wherein the reduction rate is not more than 10% of rated power per second; when the output power of the high-power charging device is reduced to 10% or below of rated power, the second switching tube is controlled to be disconnected, and the circuit connection between the high-power charging device and the super capacitor is cut off.
In this embodiment, the second preset value, the third preset value, and the predetermined time period T are dynamically adjusted according to the current charging stage and the battery characteristics. In the quick charge stage, the value range of the second preset value is 0.3V to 0.7V per millisecond, the value range of the third preset value is 0.5A to 1.5A per millisecond, and the preset time length T is not less than 100 milliseconds. In the slow charge phase, the parameter value should be reduced appropriately, and the specific value is calculated automatically by the system according to the battery characteristics and the charging requirement. The size k of the sliding window is typically chosen to be 10 to 20 to balance the response speed and noise immunity.

S4.5: and calculating the impedance value of the power supply path according to the path voltage value and the path current value.
Specifically, the impedance value is calculated as follows:
;
Wherein Z is the impedance value of the power supply path, As the value of the via voltage,Is the via current value.
S4.6: judging whether the impedance value is in a preset impedance range, and if the impedance value is in the preset impedance range, entering a pulse charging mode.
It should be noted that, the upper limit value of the preset impedance range is 120% of the nominal impedance value of the power supply path, and the lower limit value of the preset impedance range is 80% of the nominal impedance value of the power supply path, so that the design is to find possible abnormality of the power supply path, such as poor contact or short circuit, while ensuring the charging efficiency.
In addition, parameters of the pulse charging mode are dynamically adjusted according to the charging phases (fast charging or slow charging) divided in S2. In the fast charging stage, pulses with higher frequency and duty cycle are adopted; in the slow charge phase, pulses with lower frequency and duty cycle are used to optimize the charge efficiency and protect the battery.
S5: and the super capacitor is controlled to transmit electric energy to the electric vehicle battery in a pulse mode, and the pulse frequency and the duty ratio are dynamically adjusted according to the real-time temperature and electric quantity information of the electric vehicle battery.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
s5.1: and acquiring a real-time temperature value T and a current state of charge value SOC of the electric vehicle battery, and transmitting the real-time temperature value T and the current state of charge value SOC to a charging control unit.
It should be noted that the data acquisition should be performed after the super capacitor is connected with the electric vehicle battery through the third switch tube, so as to ensure the real-time performance and accuracy of the data.
S5.2: and the charging control unit inquires a pulse control lookup table according to the real-time temperature value T and the current state of charge value SOC, and determines the initial pulse frequency and the duty ratio.
It should be noted that the pulse control lookup table is preset based on parameters such as the battery type, SOC, temperature, etc. and is used for optimizing the pulse charging process. When the SOC is low, a higher pulse frequency and a larger duty cycle are selected; when the SOC is higher, the pulse frequency and the duty cycle are gradually reduced, so that the smooth transition of the charging process is ensured.
S5.3: and starting pulse charging, and transmitting electric energy to the electric vehicle battery by the super capacitor in an intermittent mode through the LC buffer circuit.
The LC buffer circuit consists of an inductor L and a capacitor C and is used for smoothing voltage and current fluctuation and reducing instantaneous impact on a battery in the charging process. The pulse period is determined by the pulse frequency and the charge duration is determined by the duty cycle.
S5.4: the first parameter set is monitored in real time during the pulse charging process.
The first parameter set comprises super capacitor voltage, electric vehicle battery terminal voltage, charging current and electric vehicle battery temperature.
S5.5: based on the first parameter data, the initial pulse frequency and the duty cycle are dynamically adjusted.
Specifically, the charging control unit firstly calculates a difference value between the voltage of the super capacitor and the voltage of the battery terminal of the electric vehicle. When the difference is smaller than a preset minimum voltage difference threshold, the control unit pauses the current charging period and triggers the recharging process of the super capacitor. During the charging process, if the charging current is detected to exceed the preset maximum current threshold, the control unit correspondingly reduces the duty ratio so as to prevent the battery from being damaged by the excessive current. Meanwhile, the system continuously monitors the temperature of the battery of the electric vehicle, once the temperature exceeds a preset maximum temperature threshold, the control unit simultaneously reduces the pulse frequency and the duty cycle, and even pauses charging if necessary until the temperature falls within a safe range.
Preferably, through the real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment mechanism of the multiple parameters, the system can protect the safety of the battery to the maximum extent and optimize the charging process while ensuring the charging efficiency.
S5.6: if the current state of charge value SOC reaches the high-order threshold value, the pulse frequency and the duty ratio are gradually reduced, and a slow charging stage is entered.
Specifically, the charge control unit continuously monitors the SOC value of the battery. Upon detecting that the SOC exceeds soc_high, the system starts to perform the charge mode conversion. In this process, the pulse frequency f and the duty ratio D gradually decrease in accordance with a predetermined curve. This gradual adjustment ensures a smooth transition of the charging process, avoiding the negative effects that abrupt current changes may have on the battery. The slow charging stage adopts lower pulse frequency and duty ratio, and the main purpose is to accurately control the charging process, prevent overcharging, protect the battery to the greatest extent and prolong the service life of the battery.
S5.7: and stopping pulse transmission of the current charging cycle and disconnecting the circuit when the super capacitor voltage is reduced to the minimum working voltage threshold value or the current time period is ended.
Specifically, the charge control unit continuously monitors the super-capacitor voltage, the current time and the current state of charge value SOC. Upon detecting that either condition is met, the control unit immediately sends a signal to stop the pulse transmission. The system then opens the third switching tube, the first switching tube and the second switching tube in a predetermined sequence, ensuring a safe disconnection of the circuit.
S6: and repeatedly executing the charging and discharging process of the super capacitor until N time periods are completed or the battery is fully charged.
After each charging cycle is completed, the system first evaluates whether the termination condition of the overall charging process is satisfied. If the condition is not satisfied, returning to the step S3, and starting a new round of super capacitor charging. During this process, the system dynamically adjusts the charging parameters based on the data from previous cycles, such as adjusting the duration of each time period or modifying the initial frequency and duty cycle of the pulsed charge to optimize the subsequent charging efficiency.
In addition, the system also monitors the battery temperature T in real time, and if the temperature T exceeds the preset highest safe temperature, the charging process is suspended until the temperature falls within the safe range. When the termination condition is met, the system performs a final safety check, including confirming that all switching tubes have been turned off, and recording the overall data for the entire charging process, and then completely exits the charging mode.
Further, the embodiment also provides a system for realizing time-sharing overcharging by utilizing the supercapacitor, which comprises a battery state detection module, a target charging amount determination module and a battery state detection module, wherein the battery state detection module is used for detecting the current electric quantity and the charging requirement of the battery of the electric vehicle; the charging process planning module is used for dividing the charging process into N time periods based on the target charging amount; the super capacitor charging module is used for charging the super capacitor to a first preset value by utilizing the high-power charging device at the beginning of each time period; the circuit switching control module is used for disconnecting the circuit connection between the super capacitor and the high-power charging device and establishing the circuit connection between the super capacitor and the battery of the electric vehicle; the pulse charging control module is used for controlling the super capacitor to transmit electric energy to the electric vehicle battery in a pulse mode and dynamically adjusting pulse frequency and duty ratio according to real-time temperature and electric quantity information of the electric vehicle battery; and the charging cycle execution module is used for repeatedly executing the charging and discharging process of the super capacitor until N time periods are completed or the battery is fully charged.
In summary, the super capacitor is used as the energy buffer unit, and the sectional control strategy is combined, so that the battery charging time is shortened to a certain extent. In particular the application of LC buffer circuits, helps to reduce voltage fluctuations in conventional direct charge schemes. Meanwhile, the pulse charging control method based on impedance monitoring improves the charging efficiency on the premise of ensuring the charging safety by dynamically adjusting the pulse parameters. In addition, the triple switching tube cooperative control and protection mechanism adopted by the invention can better control the temperature change in the charging process, improve the charging uniformity, and has positive effect on protecting the service life of the battery.

With the SOC rising to 40% -60%, the system automatically reduces the charging current to 140A, the charging power to 150kW, and the battery temperature continues to rise to 39 ℃. When the SOC reaches 60% -80%, the charging current is further reduced to 90A, the charging power is reduced to 100kW, and the temperature of the battery is finally stabilized at 42 ℃.
Next, the experimental results showed that the entire charging process took 45 minutes, and the average charging efficiency reached 89.5%. The cycle efficiency of the super capacitor is kept above 92%, the temperature is raised to 58 ℃ at the highest, and the temperature protection mechanism is not triggered. The voltage ripple coefficient of the battery terminal is controlled within 1.8%, the charging curve is smooth, and no obvious oscillation occurs. Through impedance monitoring, the impedance value of the power supply path is always kept within +/-15% of the nominal value, which indicates that the system stability is good.
Finally, the advantages of the present invention over the conventional direct charging approach are shown in table 1.
