Abstract

This application relates to a battery management system and a power supply device. The battery management system includes a first battery management module and a second battery management module in communication connection with the first battery management module. The second battery management module includes a code detection circuit that includes a plurality of sampling channels. The first battery management module is configured to determine code data based on voltage of at least one of the sampling channels, and perform identity authentication on the second battery management module based on the code data. The code detection circuit is disposed in the second battery management module, and code data is determined based on voltage of the sampling channel in the code detection circuit, so that failure in any battery management module does not affect code data collection by other battery management modules, thus achieving a high management reliability.

Claims (30)

1. A battery management system, comprising:

a first battery management module; and

a second battery management module in communication connection with the first battery management module; wherein

the second battery management module comprises a code detection circuit, and the code detection circuit comprises a plurality of sampling channels; and

the first battery management module is configured to determine a digital signal based on voltage of at least one sampling channel in the plurality of sampling channels, determine code data based on permuting and combining a plurality of digits associated with the digital signal, and perform identity authentication on the second battery management module based on the code data,

wherein the sampling channels of the code detection circuit comprise a setting channel and an adjustment channel, wherein the setting channel is configured to be connected to a power terminal or grounded, and the adjustment channel is configured to be connected to the setting channel through a harness, or be connected to the setting channel through a voltage divider resistor.

2. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein the first battery management module is further configured to detect, based on a predefined range, whether the code data of the second battery management module is correct, and output fault prompt information when incorrect code data is detected.

3. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein the first battery management module is further configured to determine whether a quantity of received code data is consistent with a preset value, and output fault prompt information when the quantity of the received code data is inconsistent with the preset value.

4. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein the second battery management module further comprises a BMU low-voltage connector, wherein the BMU low-voltage connector is connected to a corresponding sampling channel of the code detection circuit.

5. The battery management system according to claim 4 , wherein the BMU low-voltage connector is further connected to an external low-voltage connector.

6. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein the first battery management module and the second battery management module perform serial communication.

7. The battery management system according to claim 6 , wherein the first battery management module and the second battery management module perform serial communication through a CAN interface.

8. A power supply device, comprising battery packs and the battery management system according to claim 1 .

9. The power supply device according to claim 8 , wherein all the battery packs are connected in parallel to supply power to an external load.

10. A battery management method, wherein the method is applied to the battery management system according to claim 1 , and the method comprises:

determining, by a first battery management module, code data based on voltage of at least one sampling channel in a plurality of sampling channels; and

performing identity authentication on a second battery management module based on the code data.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

detecting, by the first battery management module based on a predefined range, whether the code data of the second battery management module is correct, and outputting fault prompt information when incorrect code data is detected.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the first battery management module, whether a quantity of received code data is consistent with a preset value, and outputting fault prompt information when the quantity of the received code data is inconsistent with the preset value.

13. A battery management apparatus, wherein the apparatus is applied to the battery management system according to claim 1 , and the apparatus comprises:

a determining unit, configured to determine code data based on voltage of at least one sampling channel in a plurality of sampling channels; and

an authentication unit, configured to perform identity authentication on a second battery management module based on the code data.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a detection unit, configured to detect, based on a predefined range, whether the code data of the second battery management module is correct; and

a first prompt unit, configured to output fault prompt information when the detection unit has detected incorrect code data.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a judgment unit, configured to determine whether a quantity of received code data is consistent with a preset value; and

a second prompt unit, configured to output fault prompt information when the judgment unit detects that the quantity of the received code data is inconsistent with the preset value.
