Because of battery pack needs fan for cooling, so fan control module is set.Its function has: fan start and stop control and fan failure are reported to the police.Fan control module is subjected to host computer control by serial ports and management system host communication.Open fan during battery charge, open fan when battery temperature is spent greater than 35, during operation, temperature is lower than 32 degree and then closes fan; When fan hinders when stopping operating for some reason, fan control module sends warning message to main frame.
Mainboard sends instruction by serial ports to fan control module, the start and stop of control fan.Single-chip microcomputer is by the mains switch control fan of control fan.Series connection one testing circuit on the fan power supply line, the current impulse when detecting the DC fan commutation is introduced single-chip microcomputer with pulse, uses the single-chip microcomputer pulse count, can detect rotation speed of the fan, thereby judge whether fan is normal, and send to mainboard by serial ports.
With specific embodiment its management process is described below:
1, in the battery charging process, when voltage, temperature detecting module detect the voltage of battery or temperature and surpass alarming value, by serial ports information is passed to the management system main frame, after main frame is received alarm signal, closed alarm relay sends warning message to car-mounted computer, and car-mounted computer is by wireless signal notice control computer, the control computer is the charge closing machine immediately, notifies the operator on duty that battery pack is overhauled simultaneously.
2, vehicle is in running, when the voltage that detects battery when voltage, temperature detecting module is lower than alarming value, by serial ports information is passed to the management system main frame, after main frame is received alarm signal, closed alarm relay sends warning message to car-mounted computer, and car-mounted computer is by wireless signal notice control computer, the control computer stops vehicle operating, notifies the operator on duty that battery pack is overhauled simultaneously.
3, when the fan detection module detects fan failure, by serial ports information is passed to the management system main frame, after main frame was received alarm signal, closed alarm relay sent warning message to car-mounted computer, car-mounted computer is by wireless signal notice control computer, as charging this moment, the control computer is the charge closing machine immediately, moves as vehicle, then out of service, notify the operator on duty that battery pack is overhauled simultaneously.
4, in running, motherboard is by analyzing, the unbalanced degree of battery has reached the degree that needs maintenance, the main frame closure is safeguarded relay, send maintenance information to car-mounted computer, car-mounted computer is by wireless signal notice control computer, and the control computer notifies the operator on duty as early as possible battery pack to be safeguarded.
5, vehicle normal course of operation: during vehicle operating, battery is emitted energy gradually, capacity measurement instrument real time record discharge capacity and residue SOC, and send to the management system mainboard by serial ports, mainboard compares SOC value of battery and each the capacity relay capacity corresponding set point of receiving, when being lower than certain set point, corresponding capacity relay disconnects, after three capacity relays all disconnect, show that battery needs charging.In the running, " the real state of gathering mainboard capacity relay when holding computer; and the time the real main control computer that sends to; when main control computer is received the state that three capacity relays all disconnect; main control computer sends dispatch command to vehicle; vehicle is transferred to charge position, and detects the state of charger.After charger is ready to charging, send charging instruction to charger, charger starts, to battery charge, this moment, capacity measurement instrument record filled the into capacity of battery and the SOC of battery, and sending to mainboard, same mainboard is the real main control computer of passing to during with the capacity relay status by car-mounted computer.After battery was full of electricity, charger stopped charging, and sent charging completion signal to the control computer, and the control computer sends instruction, disconnects charger, and dispatched buses and enter new round operation.
Native system reaches design object fully through field test.Behind the each run 50 minutes, the charging interval, cell voltage, temperature detecting precision reached requirement within 8 minutes, battery capacity metering accurately, battery failures is reported to the police, the battery maintenance signal can be correctly, in time send.Through the field test of some months, affirmation can guarantee that battery moves under kilter.
