[36] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a battery pack including a battery management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
25 [37] In a battery module 1, a plurality of battery
cells 2, 4, and 6 are connected either in series or in

[39] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a battery management apparatus according to an embodiment
20 of the present invention.
[40] Referring to FIG. 2, a battery management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a battery control unit 210, a sensing cycle control unit 220, and a charge control unit 230. At
25 this time, the battery management apparatus 200 may

according to FIG. 2, a condition control unit of the battery
management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the
30 present invention may be represented by the sensing cycle
9

control unit 220.
[41] The battery control unit 210 may receive the operation state of a motor detected, and may detect the state of charge of a battery. In this case, the battery control 5 unit 210 may receive the operation state of the motor directly from a motor sensing unit (not shown) which detects the operation of a motor of a vehicle, or may receive the operation state of the motor from a higher-level controller.
[42] In addition, the battery control unit 210 may 10 perform monitoring of the battery, and may adjust the sensing cycle of the battery or the transmission power of a signal according to the state of the battery or the motor.
[43] The sensing cycle control unit 220 may adjust a preset sensing cycle of a battery by applying a weight to at 15 least one of the operation state of the motor received from the battery control unit 210 and the state of charge of the battery detected therefrom. At this time, the weight may be determined for each preset range of the operation state of the motor and the state of charge of the battery. This will 20 be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 3.
[44] In addition, the sensing cycle control unit 220 may allow the battery control unit 210 to perform monitoring a battery according to the adjusted sensing cycle. In this case, the sensing cycle control unit 220 may use a fuzzy 25 function to adjust the sensing cycle of the battery as to be described later.
[45] The charge control unit 230 may control the
charging of a battery. The charge control unit 230 may
transmit the state of charge of the battery directly to the
30 battery control unit 210. In addition, the charge control
10

unit 230 may transmit the state of charge of the battery to a
higher-level controller, and then allow the same to be
transmitted from the higher-level controller to the battery
control unit 210.
5 [46] As described above, according the battery
management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing cycle and transmission power of a battery management system is actively controlled according to the state of the use of a battery, so that the
10 amount of battery consumption is minimized in a wireless battery management system, making it possible to use power efficiently.
[47] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method for calculating a sensing cycle in a battery management apparatus
15 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[48] Referring to FIG. 3, a weight graph (a) for the load (speed) of a motor, a weight graph (b) for the SOC of a battery, and a final sensing cycle (c) obtained by combining (1) and (b) are shown. However, the graphs of FIG. 3 are
20 only exemplary. A weight may be calculated in various manners for each case.
[49] For example, as shown in Graph (a) of FIG. 3, the speed of a motor may be classified according to a fuzzy rule into ranges of very high (120 km/h or greater), high (80 km/h
25 to 120 km/h), normal (40 km/h to 80 km/h), low (20 km/h to 40
km/h), very low or stop (20km/h or less).
[50] In addition, as shown in Graph (b) of FIG. 3, the
SOC of a battery nay be classified into ranges of very high
(90% or greater), high (70% to 90%), normal (50% to 70%), low
30 (30% to 50%), very low or stop (30% or less). Referring to
11

(b) of FIG. 3, as for the SOC, if the remaining battery capacity is high, an existing sensing cycle is maintained, and if the remaining battery capacity is at an intermediate level, the weight for the sensing cycle may be reduced. If 5 the remaining battery capacity is low, the weight for the sensing cycle may be increased to confirm the state of the battery quickly.
[51] The AND of FIG. 3 means that the weight for the load (speed) of a motor and the weight for the SOC of a 10 battery are summed. At this time, FIG. 3 is not limited to a logical operation AND only. A logical operation OR may also be applied according to an algorithm, and various operations such as +, x, Min, and Max may be applied.
[52] For example, when referring to FIG. 3, when a
15 basic sensing cycle is 100 msec, the speed of a motor is 140
km/h, and the SOC is 90%, a final sensing cycle may be
calculated as follows according to the speed of the motor and
the SOC of the battery.
[53]
20 [54] 100msec x z(140km, 90%) = 100msec x (1.0 AND 1.0)
= 100msec x 1.0 = 100msec
[55]
[56] In addition, according to the battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, 25 only one of the load of a motor and the SOC of a battery may be selected to adjust a sensing cycle.
[57] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a battery
management method according to an embodiment of the present
invention.
30 [58] Referring to FIG. 4, first, the battery control
12

unit 210 receives the operation state of a motor detected S410. At this time, the operation state of the motor may be detected by a motor sensing unit provided in a vehicle. In addition, the motor sensing unit may transmit the detected 5 operation state of the motor directly to the battery control unit 210, or may transmit the same to the battery control unit 210 though a higher-level controller.
[59] Then, battery control unit 210 detects the state of charge of a battery S420. In this case, the state of 10 charge of the battery may be detected by a separate charge control unit 230. At this time, the state of charge of the battery may be transmitted directly to the battery control unit 210 from the charge control unit 230, or may be transmitted to the battery control unit 210 through a higher-15 level controller.
[60] Next, a preset sensing cycle of the battery may
be adjusted by applying a weight to at least one of the
detected operation state of the motor and the detected state
of charge of the battery S430. At this time, the sensing
20 cycle of the battery may be adjusted using a fuzzy function.
In addition, the weight for adjusting a sensing cycle may be
applied to each range after dividing the operation state of
the motor and the state of charge of the battery into a
predetermined range.
25 [61] Then, the battery control unit 210 performs
monitoring of the battery according to the adjusted sensing cycle S440. As described above, according to the battery management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing cycle of a battery may be actively
30 changed according to the state of the use of the battery, so
13

that power may be efficiently used.
[62] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration
of a battery management apparatus according another an
embodiment of the present invention.
5 [63] Referring to FIG. 5, a battery management
apparatus 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a battery control unit 510, a transmission power control unit 520, and a charge control unit 530. According to FIG. 5, a condition control unit of
10 the battery management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be represented by the transmission power control unit 520.
[64] The battery control unit 510 may receive the operation state of a motor detected, and may detect the state
15 of charge of a battery. In this case, the battery control unit 510 may receive the operation state of the motor directly from a motor sensing unit (not shown) which detects the operation of a motor of a vehicle, or may receive the operation state of the motor from a higher-level controller.
20 [65] In addition, the battery control unit 510 may
perform monitoring of the battery, and may adjust the sensing cycle of the battery or the transmission power of a signal according to the state of the battery or the motor.
[66] The transmission power control unit 520 may
25 adjust a preset transmission power of the battery control
unit 510 by applying a weight to at least one of the
operation state of the motor received from the battery
control unit 510 and the state of charge of the battery
detected therefrom. At this time, the weight may be
30 determined for each preset range of the operation state of
14

the motor and the state of charge of the battery. This will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 6.
[67] In addition, the transmission power control unit 520 may allow the battery control unit 510 to transmit a 5 signal with transmission power. In this case, the transmission power control unit 520 may use a fuzzy function to adjust the transmission power of the battery control unit 510 as to be described later.
[68] The charge control unit 530 may control the
10 charging of a battery. The charge control unit 530 may transmit the state of charge of the battery directly to the battery control unit 510. In addition, the charge control unit 530 may transmit the state of charge of the battery to a higher-level controller, and then allow the same to be
15 transmitted from the higher-level controller to the battery control unit 510.
[69] As described above, according the battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing cycle and transmission power
20 of a battery management system is actively controlled according to the state of the use of a battery, so that the amount of battery consumption is minimized in a wireless battery management system, making it possible to use power efficiently.
25 [70] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a method for
calculating transmission power in a battery management
apparatus according another an embodiment of the present
invention.
[71] Referring to FIG. 6, a weight graph (a) for the
30 load (speed) of a motor, a weight graph (b) for the SOC of a
15

battery, and a final transmission power (c) obtained by
combining (1) and (b) are shown. However, the graphs of FIG.
6 are only exemplary. A weight may be calculated in various
manners for each case.
5 [72] For example, as shown in Graph (a) of FIG. 6, the
speed of a motor may be classified according to a fuzzy rule into ranges of very high (120 km/h or greater), high (80 km/h to 120 km/h), normal (40 km/h to 80 km/h), low (20 km/h to 40 km/h), very low or stop (20km/h or less).
10 [73] In addition, as shown in Graph (b) of FIG. 6, the
SOC of a battery nay be classified into ranges of very high (90% or greater), high (70% to 90%), normal (50% to 70%), low (30% to 50%), very low or stop (30% or less).
[74] Referring to (b) of FIG. 6, as for the SOC, if
15 the remaining battery capacity is high, existing transmission power is maintained, and if the remaining battery capacity is at an intermediate level, the weight for the transmission power may be reduced. If the remaining battery capacity is low, the weight for the transmission power may be increased
20 to confirm the state of the battery quickly.
[75] The AND of FIG. 6 means that the weight for the load (speed) of a motor and the weight for the SOC of a battery are summed. At this time, FIG. 6 is not limited to a logical operation AND only. A logical operation OR may also
25 be applied according to an algorithm, and various operations
such as +, x, Min, and Max may be applied.
[76] For example, when referring to FIG. 6, when basic
transmission power is 20 dBm, the speed of a motor is 140
km/h, and the SOC is 60%, final transmission power may be
30 calculated as follows according to the speed of the motor and
16

the SOC of the battery. In addition, in the following
equation, AND was used as an average value (A AND B =
(A+B)/2).
[77]
5 [78] 20dBm x z(140km, 60%) = 20dBm x (1.0 AND 0) =
20dBm x 0.5 = 10dBm [79]
[80] In addition, according to the battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, 10 only one of the load of a motor and the SOC of a battery may be selected to adjust transmission power.
[81] FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a battery
management method according another an embodiment of the
present invention.
15 [82] Referring to FIG. 7, first, the battery control
unit 510 receives the operation state of a motor detected S710. At this time, the operation state of the motor may be detected by a motor sensing unit provided in a vehicle. In addition, the motor sensing unit may transmit the detected 20 operation state of the motor directly to the battery control unit 510, or may transmit the same to the battery control unit though a higher-level controller.
[83] Then, battery control unit 510 detects the state of charge of a battery S720. In this case, the state of 25 charge of the battery may be detected by a separate charge control unit 530. At this time, the state of charge of the battery may be transmitted directly to the battery control unit 510 from the charge control unit 530, or may be transmitted to the battery control unit 510 through a higher-30 level controller.
17

[84] Next, a preset transmission power of the battery may be adjusted by applying a weight to at least one of the detected operation state of the motor and the detected state of charge of the battery S730. At this time, the 5 transmission power of the battery control unit 510 may be adjusted using a fuzzy function. In addition, the weight for adjusting transmission power may be applied to each range after dividing the operation state of the motor and the state of charge of the battery into a predetermined range.
10 [85] Then, the battery control unit 510 performs
monitoring of the battery according to the adjusted transmission power S740. As described above, according to the battery management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission power of the battery
15 control unit 510 may be actively changed according to the state of the use of the battery, so that power may be efficiently used.
[86] FIG. 8A is a diagram showing the sensing cycle and transmission power of a battery when a vehicle is driven
20 at a constant speed and then at a high speed; In addition, FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the sensing cycle and transmission power of a battery when a vehicle is driven at a high speed and then at a constant speed.
[87] Referring to 8A, when battery consumption
25 increases rapidly, such as when a driver of a vehicle is
driving at a constant speed and then gradually speeding up,
enters an uphill road, or starts fast charging, the cycle of
sensing the state of a battery becomes gradually shorter and
communication is achieved with greater transmit power, so
30 that the state of the battery may be monitored as accurately
18

as possible.
[88] Referring to FIG. 8B, when a driver of a vehicle enters a constant speed driving mode from a driving mode in which the state of a battery rapidly changes as in the above 5 examples, the cycle of sensing the state of the battery becomes gradually longer and communication is achieved with relatively less transmission power, so that battery power may be efficiently managed without unnecessary monitoring.
[89] FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a hardware
10 configuration of a battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[90] As shown in FIG. 9, a battery management apparatus 900 may have a micro-controller (MCU) 910 for controlling various processing and each component, a memory
15 920 in which an operating system program, various programs (for example, a battery pack abnormality diagnosis program or a battery pack temperature estimation program), and the like are stored, an input/output interface 930 for providing an input interface and an output interface between a battery
20 cell module and/or a switching unit (for example, a semiconductor switching element), and a communication interface 940 capable of communicating with the outside (for example, a higher-level controller) through a wired/wireless communication network. As described above, a computer
25 program according to the present invention is stored in the
memory 920 and processed by the micro-controller 910, and
thus, may be implemented as, for example, a module which
performs each functional block illustrated in FIG. 2.
[91] In the above, even if all the components
30 constituting the embodiments of the present invention have
19

been described as being combined or combined to operate as one, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. That is, if within the scope of the present invention, all of the components maybe selectively 5 combined and operated as one or more.
[92] In addition, the terms “include,” “consist,” or “have” as described above mean that a corresponding component may be intrinsic, unless specifically stated otherwise, and it should interpreted as including other components rather
10 than excluding other components. All terms including technical or scientific terms have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, unless defined otherwise. Terms commonly used as those defined in a commonly used dictionary
15 should be construed as being consistent with the context of the relevant art, and are not to be construed in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined in the present invention.
[93] The above description is merely illustrative of
20 the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the
25 present invention are not intended to limit the technical
spirit of the present invention, but to explain, and the
scope of the technical spirit of the present invention is not
limited by these embodiments. The scope of protection of the
present invention should be construed by the following claims,
