First embodiment
Fig. 1 is the functional block diagram of battery protecting circuit according to an embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, battery protecting circuit 100 goes for rechargeable battery 130.Rechargeable battery 130 has positive voltage pin V+, negative voltage pin V-and temperature sense pin NTC.Battery protecting circuit 100 comprises temperature and voltage detection unit 102 and discharge cell 104.Temperature and voltage detection unit 102 are coupled to positive voltage pin V+ and temperature sense pin NTC.And discharge cell 104 is coupled to positive voltage pin V+ and temperature and sensing cell 102.The resistance value that the temperature sense pin NTC of rechargeable battery 130 is exported can change along with the temperature of rechargeable battery 130.So 102 resistance values of being exported according to temperature sense pin NTC of temperature and voltage detection unit are judged the temperature of rechargeable battery.Discharge cell 104 then discharges to rechargeable battery 130 according to the temperature detection result of temperature and voltage detection unit 102 and the voltage of rechargeable battery.
Because under the environment of high temperature, the rechargeable battery 130 of general voltage (about 3.7volt) is compared to the rechargeable battery 130 of full voltage (about 4.2volt), rechargeable battery 130 its speeds of expansion and the degree of general voltage are comparatively slow.Therefore, according to the battery behavior of above-mentioned rechargeable battery 130, at high temperature,, then help to reduce the speed of expansion of battery and avoid cell damage if can the rechargeable battery of full voltage be discharged.
So, the resistance value of being exported by temperature sense pin NTC when temperature and voltage detection unit 102 and the temperature that detects rechargeable battery 130 are during greater than a preset value, discharge cell 104 can discharge to rechargeable battery 130, make rechargeable battery 130 after discharging and become the state of unsaturation voltage, with slow down high temperature cause rechargeable battery 130 expansion, break and the not infringement of reversibility such as on fire.
Though discharge can slow down the bulking effect of rechargeable battery 130, discharge excessively also can cause rechargeable battery 130 permanent failures and shorten useful life.Therefore for fear of over-discharge can, the magnitude of voltage of being exported as positive voltage pin V+ is during less than first preset value, and when just the electric weight of rechargeable battery was less than a preset value, discharge cell 104 can stop rechargeable battery 130 is discharged.
Comprehensively above-mentioned, whether whether discharge cell 104 can discharge to rechargeable battery 130 according to temperature and voltage detection unit 102 detected temperature decisions, and stop to discharge according to electric weight (magnitude of voltage of the positive voltage pin V+) decision of rechargeable battery 130.Whereby, the rechargeable battery 130 of avoiding full voltage perhaps produces because of over-discharge can causes the problem of life-span impairment or permanent failure at high temperature because of expansion damages.
Above-mentioned discharge cell 104 usefulness determine whether temperature preset value that discharges and the voltage preset value that stops to discharge (for example 3.7 volts), can set according to environment for use and characteristic that circuit designers is considered rechargeable battery 130, and so-called hot environment can for example be parked in the sealed vehicle under outdoor that sunshine tans by the sun, its internal temperature is greater than 60 degree Celsius, even all possible to 100.
Next, illustrate that further the detailed circuit of each circuit box among Fig. 1 is made flowing mode with it, please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the circuit block diagram of battery protecting circuit according to an embodiment of the invention.Battery protecting circuit 100 mainly comprises temperature and voltage detection unit 102 and discharge cell 104.Wherein, temperature and voltage detection unit 102 still comprise voltage detection unit 220 and bias unit 240.Voltage detection unit 220 couples bias unit 240 and positive voltage pin V+, and bias unit 240 then couples between the voltage stabilizing pin and temperature sense pin NTC that positive voltage V+ changes out.
Bias unit 240 be by voltage stabilizing element 241, precision regulate resistance R 2, R3 is composed in series, by the principle of dividing potential drop, the resistance value that the voltage of node F can be exported according to temperature sense pin NTC and becoming.Because the thermistor with negative temperature coefficient in the present embodiment is that example describes, so the thermistor in the rechargeable battery 130 (Thermistor) R7 can reduce impedance with the temperature rising.Therefore, the voltage of node F can raise with temperature and reduce, and reduces raising with temperature.
Voltage detection unit 220 in temperature and the voltage detection unit 102 comprises voltage-sensor 221, bipolar transistor 222 and precision adjusting resistance R 1, switch controlling resistance R4.In the present embodiment, bipolar transistor 222 is the bipolar transistor of a NPN, and its collector electrode is coupled to discharge cell 104, and emitter is coupled to the output of voltage-sensor 221, and base stage is coupled to precision and regulates resistance R 1.Voltage-sensor 221 is coupled between the emitter of the node F of bias unit 240 and bipolar transistor 222.Precision is regulated between the base stage of positive voltage pin V+ that resistance R 1 is coupled to rechargeable battery 130 and bipolar transistor 222.Switch controlling resistance R4 is coupled between the collector electrode and positive voltage pin V+ of bipolar transistor 222.
Voltage-sensor 221 can be adjusted the current potential of voltage detecting reaction output Vout according to the voltage of node F, when the voltage of node F during less than preset value (temperature of expression rechargeable battery is greater than preset temperature), the voltage detecting reaction output Vout of voltage-sensor 221 is a logic low potential.Because precision is regulated resistance R 1 and is coupled between the base stage and positive voltage pin V+ of bipolar transistor 222, switch controlling resistance R4 is coupled between the collector electrode and positive voltage pin V+ of bipolar transistor 222, and the emitter of bipolar transistor 222 is coupled to the voltage detecting reaction output Vout of voltage-sensor 221.Therefore, when the voltage detecting reaction output output voltage that Vout produced of voltage-sensor 221 is logic low potential, potential difference between positive voltage pin V+ and the voltage detecting reaction output Vout can make bipolar transistor 222 conductings, and then produces lower current potential (pressure reduction that switch controlling resistance R4 is caused because electric current is flowed through) in the collector terminal of bipolar transistor 222.
The discharge signal FS that temperature and voltage detection unit 102 are exported is promptly formed by the collector voltage of bipolar transistor 222.When discharge signal FS reduces to electronegative potential because of bipolar transistor 222 conductings (temperature of expression rechargeable battery is greater than preset temperature), switch 250 in the discharge cell 104 (replacing with the PMOS transistor in the present embodiment) meeting conducting thereupon, rechargeable battery 130 promptly sees through discharge resistance R5, R6 and discharges.
In the present embodiment, the switch 250 in the discharge cell is the PMOS transistor, and discharge resistance R5 and R6 coupled in parallel are between the drain electrode and earth terminal GND of PMOS transistor 250.Discharge resistance R5 and R6 mainly provide the discharge path and the power consumption of rechargeable battery 130, and its quantity in parallel is not limited.Considering size, price and thermal diffusivity, present embodiment is the circuit that example realizes discharge cell with two 1/2W resistance.And the voltage-sensor 221 in temperature and voltage detection unit 102 can for example be the voltage-sensor of hat electronics corporation of middle section, and its model is R3112Q151A-TR-F.
In addition, because rechargeable battery has the restriction of certain cut-ff voltage (cut off voltage), and excessive discharge can cause the impairment in its useful life, even permanent failure.Therefore, present embodiment can design discharge cut-off voltage, and when the voltage of rechargeable battery (positive voltage pin V+) was lower than a preset value, temperature and voltage detection unit 102 can make discharge cell 104 stop rechargeable battery being discharged.Present embodiment can come design accuracy to regulate the resistance value (for example 91K) of resistance R 1 according to the required bias voltage of the internal resistance of bipolar transistor 222 and conducting.When the brownout of positive voltage pin V+, make discharge signal FS can transfer high potential to off switch 250, make discharge cell 104 stop rechargeable battery 130 is discharged.
In discharge process, the voltage quasi position of rechargeable battery 130 has the trend of successively decreasing downwards, present embodiment is promptly controlled the conducting state of bipolar transistor 222 whereby, and the collocation precision is regulated the resistance value of resistance R 1 and set the voltage level that bipolar transistor 222 is ended.When the voltage quasi position of rechargeable battery 130 is lower than preset value (for example 3.7V), bipolar transistor 222 just can end, and makes discharge signal FS transfer high potential (level off to positive voltage pin V+ current potential) to.At this moment, switch 250 can cut out thereupon and stop rechargeable battery being discharged.
Comprehensively above-mentioned, in the present embodiment, when the temperature of rechargeable battery 130 during greater than preset temperature, the discharge signal FS that temperature and voltage detection unit 102 are exported can transfer electronegative potential (because of bipolar transistor 222 conductings) to, at this moment, 104 pairs of rechargeable batteries 130 of discharge cell discharge.In discharge process, when the voltage of rechargeable battery 130 was lower than a preset value, discharge signal FS can transfer high potential (because of bipolar transistor 222 ends) to, and at this moment, discharge cell 104 stops rechargeable battery 130 is discharged.
In addition, it should be noted that, the thermistor R7 of rechargeable battery 130 is coupled to temperature sense pin NTC, and it can be negative temperature coefficient (Negative Temperature Coefficient, NTC) or positive temperature coefficient (Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC) thermistor is example at present embodiment with the thermistor of negative temperature coefficient.The circuit of said temperature and voltage detection unit 102 and discharge cell 104 only is one embodiment of the invention, the present invention is not exceeded with the circuit of above-mentioned Fig. 2, the present technique field has knows that usually the knowledgeable is after via exposure of the present invention, should know all the other execution modes of foregoing circuit easily by inference, not add tired stating at this.
Second embodiment
Comprehensively above-mentioned, the present invention can summarize a kind of battery protecting method.Fig. 3 is battery protecting method flow chart according to an embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 3, at first as described in the step S301, temperature and voltage detection unit detect the temperature of rechargeable battery according to the resistance value of the temperature sensing pin output of rechargeable battery.Then as described in the step S302, whether the temperature of judging rechargeable battery greater than a preset temperature, if temperature was not greater than preset temperature (what just step 302 indicated " deny "), and repeating step S301 then, the temperature of continuation detection rechargeable battery.
On the other hand, if during execution in step 302, the temperature of rechargeable battery is during greater than preset temperature, (what just step 302 indicated " be "), then shown in step 303, discharge cell then discharges to rechargeable battery.Next as described in the step 304, the magnitude of voltage of judging rechargeable battery (output of positive voltage pin) whether less than the temperature of a preset value or rechargeable battery less than preset temperature, this step is the damage that causes rechargeable battery for fear of over-discharge can.Therefore, the magnitude of voltage of being exported when the positive voltage pin is during as yet less than preset value (what just step 304 indicated " deny "), then repeating step S303 continues rechargeable battery is discharged.If the magnitude of voltage that the positive voltage pin is exported is during less than preset value or the temperature of rechargeable battery during less than preset temperature (what just step 304 indicated " be "); then discharge cell stops rechargeable battery being discharged; repeat battery protecting method step S301~S305 then, continue to detect and the protection rechargeable battery.
The present technique field has knows the exposure of the knowledgeable via above-mentioned first embodiment usually, should know all the other details of present embodiment by inference, does not add tired stating at this.
