Further, the power supply loop further comprises a power module 10 and a load module 50, the power module 10 comprising a power battery. The load module 50 includes a drive motor. As an example, the first contactor 20 is disposed in series between the positive pole of the power module 10 and the load module 50; the second contactor 30 is disposed in series between the negative pole of the power module 10 and the load module 50.
The embodiment provides a contactor control method, which is applied to a power supply system, wherein the power supply system comprises a power supply loop and a control module 40; the power supply loop comprises a first contactor 20 and a second contactor 30; the control end of the first contactor 20 and the control end of the second contactor 30 are respectively connected with the control module 40; as shown in fig. 1, the contactor control method includes the steps performed by the control module 40:
s101: acquiring a current control request, wherein the current control request comprises priority information; wherein the priority information includes that one of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 is a previously closed contactor and the other is a previously open contactor.
S102: if the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the first preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the preceding closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated.
S103: if the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the preceding open contactor reaches the first preset number of uses, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the preceding closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated.
S104: if the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the prior open contactor reaches the second preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the prior closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the prior open contactor, and the priority information is updated.
S105: if the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the prior open contactor reaches the second preset number of uses, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the prior closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the prior open contactor, and the priority information is updated.
S106: based on the priority information, the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are controlled to be closed or opened.
As an example, in step S101, the current control request refers to a request to control the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 to be closed or opened. The priority information refers to information for controlling the operation priorities of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30. In this embodiment, the current control request may be configured through a man-machine interface, and the priority information may be information configured through the man-machine interface, or may be information read from a database. Illustratively, the first contactor 20 may be configured as a prior closed contactor, the second contactor 30 may be a subsequent closed contactor, the second contactor 30 may be a prior open contactor, and the first contactor 20 may be a subsequent open contactor. The second contactor 30 may be configured as a preceding closed contactor, the first contactor 20 as a following closed contactor, the first contactor 20 as a preceding open contactor, and the second contactor 30 as a following open contactor. The first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are ensured to be closed or opened sequentially, and the closed contactor is opened first.
As an example, in step S102, if the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the previous open contactor reaches the first preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined as the previous closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined as the previous open contactor, and the priority information is updated. The first preset number of uses refers to a judgment condition for judging whether to update the priority information. Specifically, when the second contactor 30 is used as a pre-close contactor and the first contactor 20 is used as a pre-open contactor, since there is no current in the power supply loop when the pre-close contactor is pre-closed, no arcing damage to the pre-close contactor occurs, and when the post-close contactor is closed or when the post-close contactor is opened, i.e., the pre-open contactor is opened, there is current in the power supply loop, and arcing occurs, which may damage the contacts of the post-close contactor, affecting the post-close contactor. Therefore, when the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the first preset number of times of use, at this time, the arc affects the first contactor 20 to a certain extent, in order to increase the service life of the first contactor 20, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated to increase the service life of the first contactor 20.
As an example, in step S103, if the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the previous open contactor reaches the first preset number of times of use, the second contactor 30 is determined as the previous closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined as the previous open contactor, and the priority information is updated. Specifically, in the last updating of the priority information, after the second contactor 30 is used as the previous open contactor, the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the previous open contactor is determined to reach the first preset number of times of use, so as to determine whether the second contactor 30 is used as the previous open contactor and is affected by the arc to a certain extent, when the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the previous open contactor reaches the first preset number of times of use, the arc affects the second contactor 30 to a certain extent, and in order to improve the service life of the second contactor 30, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the previous closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the previous open contactor, and the priority information is updated so as to improve the service life of the first contactor 20.
As an example, in step S104, if the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the previous open contactor reaches the second preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined as the previous closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined as the previous open contactor, and the priority information is updated. The second preset usage frequency refers to a judging condition for judging whether to update the priority information. The second preset number of uses is greater than the first preset number of uses. The first preset use times and the second preset use times can be set according to actual experience, so that the second preset use times are ensured to be larger than the first preset use times, and the method is not limited.
Specifically, when the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor and the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the preceding open contactor all reach the first preset number of times of use, the priority information at this time is updated to the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor and the second contactor 30 as the preceding closed contactor until the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the second preset number of times of use, the first contactor 20 is determined to be the preceding closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined to be the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated to prevent the first contactor 20 from being affected by an arc for a long time, thereby improving the life of the first contactor 20.
As an example, in step S105, if the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the previous open contactor reaches the second preset number of uses, the second contactor 30 is determined as the previous closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined as the previous open contactor, and the priority information is updated. Specifically, when the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the second preset number of times of use, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, and the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding open contactor until the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the preceding open contactor reaches the second preset number of times of use, so as to prevent the second contactor 30 from being affected by the arc for a long time, thereby improving the lifetime of the second contactor 30.
As an example, in step S106, the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are controlled to be closed or opened based on the priority information. In the present embodiment, the priority information is updated by judging whether the number of times the first contactor 20 is used as the previous open contactor and whether the number of times the second contactor 30 is used as the previous open contactor satisfies the first preset number of times and the second preset number of times, and the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are controlled to be closed or opened according to the priority information, so that the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are alternately used as the previous open contactor, thereby avoiding the first contactor 20 or the second contactor 30 from being influenced by the arc for a long time, and improving the service life of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30.
In this embodiment, by acquiring a current control request, the current control request includes priority information; wherein the priority information includes that one of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 is a previously closed contactor and the other is a previously open contactor. When the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the first preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated. When the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the preceding open contactor reaches the first preset number of uses, the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated. When the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the preceding open contactor reaches the second preset number of uses, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding open contactor, and the priority information is updated. When the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the preceding open contactor reaches the second preset number of times of use, then the second contactor 30 is determined as the preceding closed contactor, the first contactor 20 is determined as the preceding open contactor, the priority information is updated, and finally the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are controlled to be closed or opened based on the priority information, so that the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are alternately used as the preceding open contactor, the first contactor 20 or the second contactor 30 is prevented from being influenced by electric arcs for a long time, and the service lives of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are prolonged.
In one embodiment, the contactor control method further comprises: when the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the prior closed contactor and the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the prior closed contactor both reach the second preset number of uses, a target alarm signal is generated.
In this embodiment, when the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 as the previous closed contactor and the number of times of use of the second contactor 30 as the previous closed contactor reach the second preset number of times of use, the number of times of use of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 reach the expected service life, a target alarm signal is generated to indicate that the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are about to reach the expected service life through the target alarm signal, so that the safety and reliability in the use process of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 are improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, in step S106, in the priority information, the first contactor 20 is a previously closed contactor, and the second contactor 30 is a previously opened contactor; based on the priority information, controlling the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 to be closed or opened includes:
s201: if the current control request is a closing request, a first control signal and a previous closing signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be closed before, a second control signal and a subsequent closing signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be closed after.
S202: if the current control request is a disconnection request, a third control signal and a preceding disconnection signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be disconnected previously, and a fourth control signal and a following disconnection signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be disconnected afterwards.
As an example, in step S201, the first control signal and the second control signal refer to signals for controlling the closing of one contactor, respectively. The prior closing signal refers to a signal for controlling the closing time of the prior closing contactor. The post-close signal refers to a signal for controlling the closing time of the post-close contactor. I.e. the first closing signal and the subsequent closing signal are used to control the closing sequence of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30, respectively. In this example, if the current control request is a closing request, a first control signal and a previous closing signal are output, the first contactor 20 is controlled to be closed before, a second control signal and a subsequent closing signal are output, and the second contactor 30 is controlled to be closed after, so as to protect the first contactor 20 from being affected by an arc, and improve the service life of the first contactor 20.
As an example, in step S202, the third control signal and the fourth control signal refer to signals for controlling the opening of one contactor, respectively. The previous off signal refers to a signal for controlling the off time of the previous off contactor. The post-disconnection signal refers to a signal for controlling the disconnection time of the post-disconnection contactor. I.e. a preceding disconnection signal and a following disconnection signal, respectively, are used to control the disconnection sequence of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30. In this example, if the current control request is an off request, a third control signal and a previous off signal are output, the second contactor 30 is controlled to be turned off before, a fourth control signal and a subsequent off signal are output, and the first contactor 20 is controlled to be turned off after, so as to protect the first contactor 20 from arc, and improve the service life of the first contactor 20.
In this embodiment, if the current control request is a closing request, a first control signal and a previous closing signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be closed before, and a second control signal and a subsequent closing signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be closed after. If the current control request is a disconnection request, a third control signal and a previous disconnection signal are output, the second contactor 30 is controlled to be disconnected in advance, a fourth control signal and a subsequent disconnection signal are output, and the first contactor 20 is controlled to be disconnected in the rear, so that the first contactor 20 is protected from being influenced by an electric arc, and the service life of the first contactor 20 is prolonged.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, in step S106, in the priority information, the second contactor 30 is a previously closed contactor, and the first contactor 20 is a previously opened contactor; based on the priority information, controlling the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 to be closed or opened includes:
s301: if the current control request is a closing request, a second control signal and a previous closing signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be closed before, and a first control signal and a subsequent closing signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be closed after.
S302: if the current control request is a disconnection request, a fourth control signal and a preceding disconnection signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be disconnected previously, and a third control signal and a following disconnection signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be disconnected afterwards.
In this embodiment, if the second contactor 30 is a previously closed contactor and the first contactor 20 is a previously opened contactor, if the current control request is a closing request, a first control signal and a previously closed signal are output to control the second contactor 30 to be previously closed, and a second control signal and a subsequently closed signal are output to control the first contactor 20 to be subsequently closed. If the current control request is a disconnection request, a third control signal and a previous disconnection signal are output, the first contactor 20 is controlled to be disconnected in advance, a fourth control signal and a subsequent disconnection signal are output, and the second contactor 30 is controlled to be disconnected in the rear, so that the second contactor 30 is protected from being influenced by an electric arc, and the service life of the second contactor 30 is prolonged.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the contactor control method further includes:
s401: the timing control signal is output to the counter 60, and the counter 60 is controlled to record the corresponding target usage times of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30.
S402: the target number of uses output from the counter 60 is received.
S403: based on the target number of uses, the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the prior closed contactor and the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the prior closed contactor are determined.
As an example, in step S401, the control module 40 outputs a timing control signal to the counter 60, and the counter 60 records the target number of uses of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 in response to the timing control signal.
As an example, in step S402, the counter 60 determines the target number of uses of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 by recording the number of transmissions of the first control signal, the second control signal, and the previous close signal. The first contactor 20 is recorded to be closed once when the first control signal and the previous closing signal are recorded to be transmitted once, and the second contactor 30 is recorded to be closed once when the second control signal and the previous closing signal are recorded to be transmitted once. The first contactor 20 is closed once or the second contactor 30 is closed once as a single use number, thereby recording the corresponding target use numbers of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 and outputting the target use numbers to the control module 40.
As an example, in step S403, the number of uses of the first contactor 20 as the preceding closed contactor and the number of uses of the second contactor 30 as the preceding closed contactor are determined based on the target number of uses. So as to determine whether the priority information needs to be updated based on the number of times the first contactor 20 is used as the prior closed contactor and the number of times the second contactor 30 is used as the prior closed contactor, so that the control module 40 can alternately control the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30 as the prior open contactor according to the priority information to avoid the first contactor 20 or the second contactor 30 from being influenced by the arc for a long time, thereby improving the service lives of the first contactor 20 and the second contactor 30.
