  • Patent number: 11772515
    Abstract: A battery pack heating system includes: a main positive switch, a main negative switch, an inverter, an external port, a motor, a control module for auxiliary charging branch, a vehicle control unit, a motor control unit, and a battery management module. The battery management module is configured to send, when an acquired state parameter of the battery pack meets a preset low-temperature-low-power condition, a low-temperature-low-power heating request instruction to the vehicle control unit and the control module respectively. The control module is configured to send a first control signal to control the auxiliary charging branch to be connected. The vehicle control unit is configured to send a second control signal to enable the motor control unit to control on-off of the switch modules in the inverter, and a third control signal to enable the battery management module to control on-off of the main positive switch.

  • Patent number: 11515588
    Abstract: Disclosed are a heating method for a rechargeable battery, a control unit and a heating circuit. The heating method comprises: determining a frequency value of a pulse current for heating the rechargeable battery in response to a heating command of the rechargeable battery; determining a current value of the pulse current according to the frequency value and an acquired state parameter of the rechargeable battery; judging whether the current value satisfies a preset heating demand; if the current value satisfies the heating demand, generating the pulse current under control according to the frequency value; if the current value does not satisfy the heating demand, re-determining the frequency value and the current value of the pulse current. The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a control unit and a heating circuit.

  • Patent number: 11158486
    Abstract: A method discloses topography information extracted from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images to determine the atomic force microscope (AFM) image scanning speed at each sampling point or in each region on a sample. The method includes the processing of SEM images to extract possible topography features and create a feature metric map (step 1), the conversion of the feature metric map into AFM scan speed map (step 2), and performing AFM scan according to the scan speed map (step 3). The method enables AFM scan with higher scan speeds in areas with less topography feature, and lower scan speeds in areas that are rich in topography features.
