Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of multi-charging current control circuit and method thereof, utilize a closed circuit control circuit, the resistance of power controlling element is so that charging current is stable and smooth-going linearly, therefore the action of charging that energy-storage travelling wave tube can be functional and safe can not be subjected to the influence of power component characteristic changing.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it shows the schematic diagram according to many charging circuits of preferred embodiment of the present invention.Many charging circuits 300 comprise power supply unit 310, multi-charging current control circuit 330, first power component 351, first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371, first current sensor 391, first power component 352, first energy-storage travelling wave tube 372 and first current sensor 392.
Power supply unit 310 for example is the power supply of computer, or common domestic power supply provides power supply by adapter (adapter), does not limit.Power supply unit 310 drives first power component 351 and produces the first charging current IC1 with first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371 that charges, and drives second power component, 352 generations, the second charging current IC2 with second energy-storage travelling wave tube 372 that charges.First energy-storage travelling wave tube 371 and second energy-storage travelling wave tube 372 are the battery of all kinds of electronic devices, for example are the battery of mobile phone or MP3.Power supply unit 310 can be simultaneously to first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371 and 372 chargings of second energy-storage travelling wave tube, also can not limit the action that can also charge simultaneously to more energy-storage travelling wave tube respectively to first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371 or 372 chargings of second energy-storage travelling wave tube.
Multi-charging current control circuit 330 comprises charge mode detector 331, Voltage Reference unit 333, current limiting unit 335, current detector 337 and current control unit 339.Because power supply unit 110 may be all kinds of power supplys, so charge mode detector 122 receives an outside identification signal Dx, this outside identification signal Dx provides the information that is relevant to power supply unit 110.Then, charge mode detector 122 outputs one charge mode signal CM is to current limiting unit 335.Voltage Reference unit 333 provides a plurality of reference voltages, and these a plurality of reference voltages are separately corresponding to one type power supply.
Because power supply unit 310 has maximum current limit, so utilize current limiting unit 335 excessive with the electric current of avoiding dashing cruelly.Current limiting unit 335 is selected a corresponding reference voltage Vref according to the pattern (corresponding to power supply unit 310) of charge mode signal CM decision charging in a plurality of reference voltages from Voltage Reference unit 333.This corresponding reference voltage Vref is relevant to the type of power supply unit 310, and for example as outside identification signal Dx during from a computer, corresponding reference voltage Vref then corresponds to computer.Afterwards, current limiting unit 335 is exported a control signal VCx to current control unit 339 according to corresponding reference voltage Vref.
The first charging current IC1 of first current sensor, 391 sensings, first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371, the second charging current IC2 of second current sensor, 392 sensings, second energy-storage travelling wave tube 372.Current detector 337 amplifies in fact and operates first current sensor 391 and 392 sensed result of second current sensor, and it is fed back to current control unit 339.
The control signal VCx that current control unit 339 received current limiting units 335 are exported, this control signal is used to limit the first charging current IC1 in fact and the second charging current IC2 sum is less than or equal to certain value to avoid surpassing the maximum current limit of power supply unit 310, and this definite value corresponds to corresponding reference voltage Vref.Current control unit 339 is adjusted the first charging current IC1 or the second charging current IC2 automatically according to control signal VCx and 337 feedacks of current detector, to keep the first charging current IC1 and the second charging current IC2 sum is less than or equal to definite value.
For instance, if first energy-storage travelling wave tube 371 is main charging device, then when the first charging current IC1 and the second charging current IC2 sum surpass definite value, one second resistance (not shown in figure) of current control unit 339 control second power component 352 inside to be to reduce by the second charging current IC2, keeps the first charging current IC1 and the second charging current IC2 sum is less than or equal to definite value.If second energy-storage travelling wave tube 372 is main charging device, then when the first charging current IC1 and the second charging current IC2 sum surpass definite value, one first resistance (not shown in figure) of current control unit 339 control second power component 351 inside to be to reduce by the first charging current IC1, keeps the first charging current IC1 and the second charging current IC2 sum is less than or equal to definite value.
Current control unit 339 is the on-off modes that replace switch control unit 128 among Fig. 1 with accurate circuit, by the resistance of power controlling element internal, adjusts charging current linearly, when the sum total of charging current surpasses definite value, reduces partly charging current automatically.Please refer to Fig. 4, it shows the oscillogram according to the charging current of preferred embodiment of the present invention.Because it is one stable closed circuit that many charging circuits 300 form, but not as existing skill, can be broken by the action of switch, so its charging current can be stablize, smooth-going and do not have a noise, make the charging quality-improving, also can not cause negative effect for the life-span of energy-storage travelling wave tube and power supply unit 110.
In addition, the control of charging current is according to corresponding reference voltage Vref, because corresponding reference voltage Vref is provided by the Voltage Reference unit 333 of multi-charging current control circuit 330, and first power component 351 and second power component 352 are driving stages of multi-charging current control circuit 330 outsides, so the variation that is adjusted at correctly and is independent of the element characteristic of first power component 351 and second power component 352 of charging current.
Disclosed multi-charging current control circuit of the above embodiment of the present invention and method thereof, be by closed circuit many charging circuits, with the resistance of power controlling element linearly, and utilize independently reference voltage, make charging current can not be subjected to the influence of power component characteristic changing and instability.Therefore the disclosed multi-charging current control circuit of the embodiment of the invention can provide stable and smooth-going charging current, promotes the charging quality.In addition, embodiments of the invention can also have higher convenience simultaneously to a plurality of energy-storage travelling wave tube chargings, can only not charge to single energy-storage travelling wave tube when the sum total charging current is excessive as traditional charging circuit.
In sum, though the present invention discloses as above with a preferred embodiment, so it is not in order to limit the present invention.The persond having ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, when being used for a variety of modifications and variations.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking the claim person of defining of the present invention.
