Detailed Description
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the following description will make clear and complete descriptions of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
With the development of science and technology, attention is paid to environmental protection of vehicles. Because electric automobile compares more environmental protection than traditional fuel car, consequently, electric automobile has received the favor of more and more people, and correspondingly, people are to the higher requirement of electric automobile's security and reliability.
In the related art, compared with a fuel vehicle, the electric vehicle uses a power battery as an energy storage device and is driven by a driving motor, and correspondingly, a high-voltage and high-current signal exists in a power system of the electric vehicle and the working condition is relatively loaded. In addition, because the electric equipment such as a motor, a compressor and the like included in the electric vehicle is an inductive load, more bypass capacitors exist on each circuit included in the electric vehicle, and more parasitic parameters exist at the same time. Based on the above, when the high-voltage system included in the electric vehicle works or when the electric vehicle has abnormal working conditions, abnormal voltage pulse or current pulse signals can be generated, so that the problem that a circuit board of a battery management system (Battery Management System, BMS) ablates or the BMS signal is jumped is caused. The inventors have long studied that the above-mentioned related problems are all caused by surge in a high-voltage system.
Surge refers to extremely short overvoltage occurring in a power supply circuit, the sudden voltage can be increased to thousands of volts instantaneously, the influence on electronic equipment is destructive, the surge belongs to the conduction interference type problem in electric electromagnetic compatibility (Electro Magnetic Compatibility, EMC), and the influence is different according to different currents, voltages and energy; if the damage is small, abnormal fluctuation of signals or abnormal operation of the circuit can be caused, and if the damage is large, the circuit can be damaged. Therefore, the surge affects the normal operation of the circuit and even causes the circuit to be damaged, which causes quality problems, affects the experience of users and even jeopardizes the safety of the users.
In the related art, most of the surge of the whole vehicle is occasional and later failure, when problems occur, the circuit is often deteriorated, and most of the surge cannot be found in the design stage, so that the surge is difficult to stably reproduce and difficult to measure and analyze; in addition, other faults are caused by the surge interference, the root causes are deeper, the phenomenon misleading performance is stronger, and the analysis efficiency is low; and the whole vehicle does not have a special vehicle-mounted real-time surge detection scheme, and when a plurality of surges are generated, the real-time working condition information of the vehicle is not easy to monitor and trace.
Among them, surge testing is to simulate such overvoltage, and test equipment can withstand and cope with such voltage surge, so surge testing is very important for protecting products from power supply disturbance and damage. Accordingly, in the related art, there is a challenge of detecting a surge of an electronic device.
In view of the above problems, the inventors have long studied and found that a surge detection device and a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, the device includes: and the analog front end acquisition chip and the processing module. The analog front end acquisition chip is used for being connected with the high-voltage system and acquiring single voltage data of the high-voltage system; the processing module is connected with the analog front end acquisition chip and is used for acquiring the single voltage data and carrying out surge detection on the high-voltage system according to the single voltage data. The device can acquire the single voltage data of the high-voltage system in real time, analyzes the single voltage data to acquire the surge condition of the high-voltage system, further acquires the health state of a loop of the high-voltage system, and improves the working safety and reliability of the high-voltage system. Therefore, by adopting the device, whether the surge exists in the high-voltage system is detected in real time, so that the safety and the reliability of the operation of the high-voltage system are improved.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a surge detection device according to an embodiment of the present application.

The data conversion module may convert the electrical signal of the single voltage collected by the collection channel into single voltage data, and transmit the single voltage data to the processing module 120 through the communication module.
As one implementation, the Analog Front End acquisition chip 110 may include a MC33771 chip, where the MC33771 chip may be used as a lithium battery management chip Analog Front End (AFE). The MC33771 chip can be used as an analog sampling chip in the BMS system, and the MC33771 chip designs a 3-layer system structure, so that analog sampling of battery voltage, temperature, current and the like can be realized, and other functions of the system can be completed, which is not limited herein.
The MC33771 chip has a plurality of voltage sampling channels and high measurement accuracy in a wide temperature range, and an expensive digital isolator is omitted by adopting a daisy-chain communication mode. Wherein, 15 MC33771 chips can be hung on the BMS system for 1 time at most by adopting a daisy chain communication mode; wherein, each MC33771 chip can manage 14 strings of batteries, so that 1 controller can realize the management of 210 batteries through 1 daisy chain at most. And the overall operation and coordination of the system can be completed through 1 main controller among controllers included in the BMS system, the function of managing more batteries is realized, and the problem that the real-time processing capacity of the system is affected due to overlarge task quantity of a single controller can be avoided by adopting a master-slave controller combined mode.
The MC33771 chip can be composed of one or more circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, electronic switches, diodes, converters, registers and the like. The MC33771 chip can be used as an analog acquisition front end of the BMS and comprises 14 paths of acquisition channels, and the 14 paths of acquisition channels can be used for acquiring single voltage to manage 14 strings of batteries. Among the 14 acquisition channels included in the MC33771 chip, the circuit design of one acquisition channel is different from the other 13 acquisition channels included in the 14 acquisition channels.
For example, please refer to fig. 2, which shows an internal circuit structure diagram of an analog front end acquisition chip according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, fig. 2 shows that a part of the acquisition channels in the 14-channel acquisition channels of the MC33771 chip comprise: acquisition channel CTref, acquisition channel CT1, acquisition channel CT2, acquisition channel CT3, acquisition channel CT4.

The MC33771 chip shown in fig. 2 may sample the cell voltages of the battery cell1, the battery cell2, the battery cell3, and the battery cell 4. The MC33771 chip can convert the detected cell voltages of the battery cell1, the battery cell2, the battery cell3 and the battery cell4 into cell voltage data based on the converter. The individual voltage data may include a voltage value, a time corresponding to the voltage value, and the like, and is not limited herein.
It should be noted that, the circuit design of the acquisition channel CT1 is different from that of the other 13 acquisition channels, and when the external interference is too large, a voltage difference is generated between the G pole and the S pole of the MOS, so that the diagnostic MOS of the channel is turned off, and abnormal jitter occurs in the voltages of CT1 and CT 2. On the basis, as the MC33771 chip is an analog acquisition front-end chip which is mainstream in the BMS, when the circuit design is carried out, MOS control circuits in the CT1 and CT2 adopt different designs, and when external interference is large, abnormal deviation exists in the voltages of the CT1 and CT2 channels; correspondingly, the MC33771 chip can transmit the single voltage data collected by the collection channel to the processing module 120, so as to report the fault related to the single voltage abnormality.
The processing module 120 may analyze the single voltage data, where a significant feature gap exists between a CT1& CT2 fault caused by a surge and a CT1 and CT2 voltage jitter fault caused by other faults; correspondingly, the processing module 120 can analyze the single voltage data collected by each collecting channel of the MC33771 chip to judge whether the surge exists in the high-voltage system.
The differences between the CT1 and CT2 faults caused by the surge and the CT1 and CT2 voltage jumping faults caused by other faults include: due to the circuit characteristics, when a surge occurs, due to the fact that SW1 is closed, corresponding to the single voltage data collected by each collecting channel of the MC33771 chip, only the voltages of the collecting channels CT1 and CT2 fluctuate, and the voltages of the other 12 collecting channels cannot be abnormal. In addition, because the surge abnormality can be recovered, when the surge disappears, the corresponding CT1 and CT2 voltage jumping faults also disappear, and the faults such as short circuit, open circuit and the like have durability, so the surge and other faults are obviously different in time. Based on this, the processing module 120 may analyze the monomer voltage data of the analog front end acquisition chip 110 to determine whether a surge exists in the high voltage system based on the difference and the related software policy.
It can be understood that the acquisition channels CT1& CT2 included in the MC33771 chip are utilized to detect the single voltage jump fault, and the data analysis logic can be newly added in the processing module 120 connected with the MC33771 chip to analyze and check the single voltage jump data, so as to determine whether a surge exists in the high voltage system, and based on the derivative design of the existing hardware scheme, only a software strategy is added, so that the cost of surge detection is reduced.

The processing module 120 may analyze the single voltage data to determine whether a surge exists in the high voltage system, and if it is determined that the surge exists in the high voltage system, a surge fault prompt may be generated and sent to the surge alarm module 140 for output, so as to perform the surge fault prompt. The surge fault prompting mode can be modes such as indication lamp indication, buzzing prompting, text prompting and the like, and is not limited herein; correspondingly, a user can conduct targeted surge analysis according to the surge fault prompt, and the safety and reliability of the high-voltage system are improved.
In some embodiments, please refer to fig. 5, which shows a block diagram of a surge detection device according to an embodiment of the present application. The processing module 120 may be further configured to connect to a cloud, and send an occurrence time corresponding to the surge to the cloud when it is determined that the high voltage system has the surge, so as to instruct the cloud to generate a surge period corresponding to the high voltage system based on the occurrence time.
In some embodiments, the processing module 120 may record the single voltage data in real time, and accordingly, when the processing module 120 analyzes the single voltage data to determine that there is a surge in the high voltage system, the surge may also be analyzed in a retrospective manner. Wherein, voltage fluctuation in the single voltage data is generated and recovered along with faults; correspondingly, the processing module 120 can determine the voltage fluctuation moment as the surge generation moment according to the single voltage data, and can also output the real-time working condition of the high-voltage system according to the single voltage data, so that a user can analyze and check the surge conveniently, the working safety and reliability of the high-voltage system are improved, and the experience of the user is improved.

It can be appreciated that, when the processing module 120 included in the surge detection device 100 determines that there is a surge in the high voltage system, a surge fault prompt is generated and sent to the surge alarm module 140 for outputting, so that a user performs fault detection on the high voltage system based on the surge fault prompt to find a hidden fault. In addition, the processing module 120 can capture the surge data of the high-voltage system in real time, and send the surge data to the cloud, so that the cloud can generate a surge case corresponding to the high-voltage system according to the surge data, the accuracy of the user in surge suppression of the high-voltage system is improved, and the information sharing property is also improved. Meanwhile, the surge state of the high-voltage system is detected in real time through the processing module 120 so as to check the health state of a high-voltage loop included in the high-voltage system, and the working safety and reliability of the high-voltage system are improved.

The MC33771 chip can be used for collecting single voltage data of the high-voltage system and transmitting the single voltage data to the processor MCU in the BMS through the bus. If a high-voltage abnormal surge enters the BMS and interferes with the MC33771 chip, the MC33771 chip may transmit abnormal data (e.g., single voltage data, etc.) to the processing module 120.
The processing module 120 may analyze and process the single voltage data after receiving the single voltage data detected by the MC33771 chip, and determine whether the single voltage data is caused by a surge, if so, may report a surge prompt and output surge fault information at the moment of a surge working condition to the vehicle-mounted communication device VCU connected with the BMS.

The processing module 120 may obtain the monomer voltage data of the abnormal monomer voltage of the high voltage system reported by the MC 33771; correspondingly, the processing module 120 can perform anomaly analysis on the single voltage data, can determine whether only the voltage data of CT1& CT2 is jumped, and can determine that the reason for the anomaly of the single voltage of the high voltage system is a non-surge if not only the voltage data of CT1& CT2 is jumped; if only the voltage data of CT1& CT2 is jumped, it can be determined that the probability of the surge existing in the high voltage system is greater than the first threshold. The processing module 120 may further determine whether the jitter generated by the voltage data of CT1& CT2 may be recovered, and if not, determine that the reason for the abnormality of the single voltage of the high voltage system is non-surge; if it can be recovered, it can be determined that there is a surge in the high voltage system.
