Control part 5 has CPU51, the RAM53 of the information that CPU51 produces with the ROM52 of the information such as storage program, temporary transient storage via bus, concurrently to the various times carry out timing timer 54, and be connected respectively for the I/O port 55 that each one in battery pack 10 carries out input and output.Separately gate electrode of the digital output terminal of I/O port 55 and A/D converter section 4, MOSFET71,72, and Department of Communication Force 9 be connected.Department of Communication Force 9 communicates with the control power supply unit (charging part) 21 that electric equipment 20 has.ROM52 is the nonvolatile memory that is made of flash memory.Except program, also storage for example is full of the initial value (namely setting electric current) of degradation speed, deterioration factor and charging current of learning value (learning capacity), the secondary cell described later 1 of capacitance in ROM52.
CPU51 carries out the processing such as computing and input and output according to the control program of pre-save in ROM52.For example, CPU51 is taken into the detected value of the charging and discharging currents of battery block 11,12,13 magnitude of voltage and secondary cell 1 take 250ms as the cycle, based on the magnitude of voltage that is taken into and detected value, the charging current of secondary cell 1 or charging power or discharging current or discharged power are added up, will be stored in RAM53 by charging capacity or the discharge capacity that accumulative total is calculated.The unit of the charge/discharge capacity when charging and discharging currents, charge-discharge electric power are added up respectively is Ah, Wh.Have again, the highest voltage (hereinafter referred to as maximum monomer voltage) among the battery block 11,12 that CPU51 determines to be taken into, 13 magnitude of voltage, and it is stored in RAM53.The cycle that is taken into of the detected value of magnitude of voltage and charging and discharging currents is not limited to 250ms.CPU51 also generates the data such as residual capacity, charging current, and the data that generate are sent to electric equipment 20 from Department of Communication Force 9.
Cutter 7 when common discharging and recharging from I/O port 55 to MOSFET71,72 gate electrode provides L (low) Continuity signal of level, thus MOSFET71,72 separately drain electrode and the source electrode between be switched on.When cutting off the charging current of secondary cell 1, the gate electrode from I/O port 55 to MOSFET71 provides H (height) pick-off signal of level, and the interelectrode conducting in the drain electrode of MOSFET71 and source is cut off thus.Equally, when cutting off the discharging current of secondary cell 1, the gate electrode from I/O port 55 to MOSFET72 provides H (height) pick-off signal of level, and the interelectrode conducting in the drain electrode of MOSFET72 and source is cut off thus.In the situation that MOSFET71,72 is the N channel-type, as long as will make the Continuity signal/pick-off signal of the H/L level after above-mentioned L/H level counter-rotating offer gate electrode.When secondary cell 1 is in the state that is suitably charged, all conductings of the MOSFET71 of cutter 7,72, secondary cell 1 is in the state that can discharge and can charge.
Electric equipment 20 possesses the terminal part 22 that is connected with control power supply unit 21.Control power supply unit 21 and drive terminal part 22 by not shown source power supply supply capability, and secondary cell 1 discharged and recharged the path supplying charging current.Control power supply unit 21 also in the situation that supply with from the electric power of source power supply and be disconnected, drive terminal part 22 by the discharging current of supplying with in the path that discharges and recharges by secondary cell 1.In the situation that the secondary cell 1 that control power supply unit 21 charges is lithium ion battery, for example charge with constant current (MAX electric current 0.5~1C left and right) constant voltage (about MAX4.2~4.4V/ battery cell).The cell voltage of secondary cell 1 be full of electro-detection begin voltage more than and charging current be below setting state continuance certain hour when above, be judged to be secondary cell 1 and be in and be full of electricity condition (below, referred to as being full of electricity).In addition, for example also can become at the cell voltage of secondary cell 1 fixed voltage makes MOSFET71 end to detect the open circuit voltage (OCV=Open Circuit Voltage) of secondary cell 1 in only during certain when above, in the situation that detected open circuit voltage is more than fixed voltage, is judged to be and is full of electricity.
Controlling between power supply unit 21 and Department of Communication Force 9, will control power supply unit 21 as main device, will comprise the control part 5 of Department of Communication Force 9 as from device, carry out the communication based on communication modes such as SMBus (System Management Bus) modes.In the situation that the SMBus mode, serial clock (SCL) provides from controlling power supply unit 21, and serial data (SDA) is given and accepted by two-way between control power supply unit 21 and Department of Communication Force 9.In the present embodiment, control power supply unit 21 and take 2 seconds as the cycle, Department of Communication Force 9 is carried out poll (polling), read the content of the data that Department of Communication Force 9 will send.Set by controlling power supply unit 21 sides in 2 seconds of polling cycle.
By this poll, for example the data of the residual capacity of secondary cell 1 are transferred into and control power supply unit 21 take 2 seconds as the cycle via Department of Communication Force 9, are shown as the value (%) of residual capacity in the not shown display that electric equipment 20 has.In addition, the initial value of the charging current of being set by control part 5, be charging current data and residual capacity data similarly, be sent to control power supply unit 21 via Department of Communication Force 9.In controlling power supply unit 21, based on the charging current that sends out from control part 5, secondary cell 1 is carried out constant-current constant-voltage charging.
Next, illustrate that the increase correction of the period when basis discharges and recharges secondary cell 1 is full of a method of the learning value learning capacity of capacitance.Moreover the study that is full of capacitance is undertaken by known method, for example again calculates based on the charging capacity of secondary cell 1 and/or discharge capacity to be full of capacitance (FCC=Full Charge Capacity).
Fig. 2 is the key diagram of method that the period of secondary cell 1 is counted.The transverse axis of Fig. 2 represents the process of time, and the longitudinal axis represents that residual capacity is the ratio of learning capacity with respect to the relative surplus capacity (RSOC=Relative State Of Charge) of secondary cell 1.The part that is endowed " zero " mark in figure represents that period produces the point of increment (=1 circulation).In addition, the part that is endowed the "●" mark represents the point that learning capacity is corrected based on cycle count.In Fig. 2, for simplicity, suppose that RSOC changes between 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, suppose that the chance that moment T0 does not have study to be full of capacitance between T19 extremely constantly describes.
Be charged to and be full of capacitance and RSOC is 100% secondary cell 1, be discharged to 50% during moment T0~T1, be charged to 75% during moment T1~T2.Equally, secondary cell 1 is discharged to 50% during moment T2~T3, is charged to 75% during moment T3~T4, and when being discharged to 50% during moment T4~T5, the discharge capacity from moment T0 reaches learning capacity period increase by 1 thus.Then, for example secondary cell 1 is charged to 100% during moment T5~T6, and then is full of electricity in the situation that moment T7 detects secondary cell 1, and learning capacity is multiplied by the 1st deterioration factor less than 1 (for example 0.9992) and revises.In the present embodiment, because the direction that diminishes to learning capacity is revised, therefore revised RSOC becomes large, but RSOC can not surpass 100%.
Next, secondary cell 1 is discharged to 50% during moment T8~T9, is charged to 100% during moment T9~T10, and when being discharged to 50% during moment T11~T12, period increases by 1.Follow again, secondary cell 1 is charged to 75% during moment T12~T13, be discharged to 25% during moment T13~T14, be charged to 50% during moment T14~T15, be discharged to 25% during moment T15~T16, be charged to 75% during moment T16~T17, when being discharged to 50% during moment T17~T18, period further increases by 1.
Afterwards, for example continued the secondary cell 1 of charging during moment T18~T19, when moment T19 detected secondary cell 1 and is full of electricity, learning capacity was corrected.At this moment, due to front once after moment T9 revises learning capacity period increased by 2, therefore carry out corresponding 2 circulations of correction of the learning capacity under T19 constantly.In addition, revise by the direction that tails off to learning capacity, thereby revised RSOC increases with the ratio less than 100%.
Moreover in Fig. 2, revised RSOC changes discontinuously when the correction of having carried out learning capacity in order to avoid as far as possible, and after the period of secondary cell 1 has increased more than 1, just revises learning capacity when being full of electricity detecting, but is not limited thereto.
In addition, although make period increase by 1 when discharge capacity reaches learning capacity, also can when reaching learning capacity, charging capacity make period increase by 1.
Then, the additive method of revising learning capacity when continuing to preserve secondary cell 1 not being discharged and recharged is described.
The chart of the degree list of the deteriorated speed in Fig. 3 means between battery block 11,12,13 storage life.In Fig. 3, the voltage range of each row is divided into " lower than 4.0V ", " more than 4.0V and lower than 4.1V " and " more than 4.1V ", and temperature range of each row is divided into " lower than 10 ℃ ", " more than 10 ℃ and lower than 30 ℃ ", " more than 30 ℃ and lower than 50 ℃ " reach " more than 50 ℃ ".Voltage range and temperature range are not limited to above-mentioned scope.To be degradation speed decide according to the combination of these voltage ranges and temperature range the degree of the degradation speed of secondary cell 1, and the value in the chart of 3 row 4 row shown in Figure 3 is as being stored in ROM52 with each voltage range and the corresponding degradation speed of temperature range.
The degradation speed of secondary cell 1 is according to the high/low of the temperature range of high/low, the secondary cell 1 of battery block 11,12,13 voltage range and be changed to 300 from 0.For example, in the situation that degradation speed is 0, deteriorated speed is ignored in expression.In addition, in the situation that degradation speed is 300, be for example 10 situation than degradation speed, expression is carried out deteriorated with the speed of 30 times.
In the situation that continue to preserve secondary cell 1, the battery temperature of the cell voltage of the battery block that voltage is the highest, secondary cell 1 is applicable to Fig. 3, to determine degradation speed.This is to have considered to have produced in the battery block 11,12 that is connected in series, each cell voltage of 13 when uneven, and the degradation speed of the battery block that voltage is the highest is maximum.Read from ROM52 according to the combination of such voltage range and temperature range and definite degradation speed, the degradation speed of reading is added up along with the process between storage life, at aggregate-value during greater than setting (for example 50000), learning capacity is multiplied by the 2nd deterioration factor less than 1 (for example 0.99) and revises.
In addition, sometimes during according to the 1st and the 2nd deterioration factor, the learning capacity of secondary cell 1 being revised as described above, can be different from for learning capacity the correction of above-mentioned correction.
Fig. 4 is the key diagram that the correction of the RSOC that is carried out when low-voltage detects is described.The transverse axis of Fig. 4 represents the time, and the longitudinal axis represents the RSOC of secondary cell 1.In Fig. 4 with the situation of the RSOC before the constantly correction under T21 of solid line (perhaps dotted line) expression higher than (perhaps lower than) revised RSOC.
The cell voltage of secondary cell 1 in discharge or in preserving when moment T21 drops to the low-voltage of regulation, with the mandatory ratio that is modified to regulation of the RSOC of secondary cell 1.For example, when the cell voltage of the battery block that voltage is minimum among battery block 11,12,13 drops to 3V, the RSOC of secondary cell 1 is modified to 4% or 8%.In the situation that carried out this correction, suppose that the ratio of precision of this correction wants high based on the precision of the correction of the 1st and the 2nd deterioration factor, be 0 (zero) thereby the aggregate-value of above-mentioned degradation speed is removed.In as described above RSOC is modified to 4% situation of (perhaps 8%), calculate learning capacity according to the mode that the discharge capacity of calculating before this is 96% (perhaps 92%) of learning capacity.
Moreover, the learning capacity of considering secondary cell 1 with respect to the ratio of nominal capacity (DC) large/degradation of little and secondary cell 1 little/corresponding greatly.Learning capacity before this learning capacity can be both to revise can be also revised learning capacity, but preferably use revised learning capacity.According to above-mentioned this ratio large/littlely make the charged electrical rheology of secondary cell 1 large/diminish, suppressed in fact thus the rising of C ratio, therefore can suppress the deteriorated of secondary cell 1.In the present embodiment, also can be only the 1st deterioration factor be multiplied each other to revise with the initial value that is full of capacitance, charging current (the perhaps value of tight front) respectively and be full of capacitance, charging current.In addition, can also be only the 2nd deterioration factor be multiplied each other to revise with the initial value that is full of capacitance, charging current (the perhaps value of tight front) respectively and be full of capacitance, charging current.
Have again, also the 1st deterioration factor and the 2nd deterioration factor can be multiplied each other to revise with the initial value that is full of capacitance, charging current (the perhaps value of tight front) respectively and be full of capacitance, charging current.
Moreover, also can also multiply by fixed coefficient to the 1st deterioration factor, the 2nd deterioration factor when reducing (correction) charging current, can make thus the reduction of charging current become large or diminish.
Particularly, the initial value (setting electric current) that the use of secondary cell 1 is begun just interim charging current multiply by above-mentioned ratio calculates charging current, generate the data of the charging current of calculating, with data 20 outputs from Department of Communication Force 9 to electric equipment that generate.Thus, from providing charging current after being lowered as the electric equipment 20 of charger to battery pack 10.
Below, utilize the flow chart of the action of the control part 5 that represents above-mentioned battery pack to be described.Processing shown below is carried out according to the control program of pre-save in ROM52 by CPU51.

The cycle that Fig. 5,6 processing are activated for example is 250m second, 20 seconds, but is not limited thereto.In addition, the processing of Fig. 7 is activated before the charging beginning.The deterioration factor that uses in the processing of Fig. 5~7 is stored in ROM52.The cycle count mark that uses in Fig. 5,6 processing, cycle counter, accumulative total degradation speed and the deteriorated counter of accumulative total are stored in RAM53.The data of other calculating process also suitably are stored in RAM53.In the initialization process of regulation, it is 0 that cycle count mark, cycle counter, accumulative total degradation speed and the deteriorated counter of accumulative total are eliminated, and deterioration factor is set to 1.
At first, when the processing of Fig. 5 was activated, CPU51 judged that cycle count marks whether to be set to 1 (S11), in the situation that be set to 1 (S11: be), it is 0 (S12) that the cycle count mark is removed, and cycle counter is increased (adding 1) (S13).When the discharge capacity that secondary cell 1 detected by the processing different from the processing shown in Fig. 5~7 or charging capacity have reached learning capacity, be set to 1 at this cycle count mark.
When the processing of step S13 finishes or in step S11, the cycle count mark was not set to 1 (S11: no), CPU51 judged whether cycle counter is 0 (S14).When cycle counter is 0 (S14: be), because cycle counter from the correction of previous deterioration factor does not once advance yet, therefore finish the processing of Fig. 5.
Be not 0 o'clock (S14: no) at cycle counter, next CPU51 determines whether that secondary cell 1 being detected is full of electricity (S15), (S15: no) when being full of electricity not detected, directly finishes the processing of Fig. 5.The detection that is full of electricity is undertaken by the processing different from the processing shown in Fig. 5~7.(S15: be) when being full of electricity detected, CPU51 is initialized as 1 (S16) afterwards with the 1st deterioration factor corresponding with the degradation that is accompanied by period, and the content of the 1st deterioration factor stored in RAM53 be multiply by 0.9992 (S17).
Then, CPU51 makes cycle counter reduce (subtracting 1) (S18), judges whether cycle counter is 0 (S19), be not (S19: no) at 0 o'clock, processes being back to step S17.By the processing of above step S17 to S19, until cycle counter becomes till 0, repeatedly the 1st deterioration factor be multiply by 0.9992.Thus, increase with the degradation that the 1st deterioration factor is set up after corresponding.
Be 0 o'clock (S19: be) at cycle counter, CPU51 revises (S20) afterwards to the content that the content of the deterioration factor stored in ROM52 multiply by the 1st deterioration factor of storing in RAM53, finishes the processing of Fig. 5.
Next, when the processing of Fig. 6 was activated, CPU51 was taken into the voltage of current detector 2 via A/D converter section 4, the voltage that is taken into is scaled electric current detects charging and discharging currents (S31).In fact, also can detect charging and discharging currents based on the voltage that repeatedly is taken into.Afterwards, CPU51 judges that whether greater than-100mA (zone of discharging current) and less than 20mA (zone of charging current) (S32) charging and discharging currents detect for example, in the time of in not being in this scope (S32: no), process entering step S40 described later.
At this, consider to exist in A/D converter section 4 to have the electric current this point that becomes charging current on apparent in transformed error this point and battery pack 10 inside, will not detect less than the electric current of 20mA and be charging current.In addition,, process equally when preserving with not discharging and recharging fully during less than 100mA at the absolute value of discharging current.But, should be not limited to the size of current of charging and discharging currents comparison in step S32-100mA and 20mA.
At the charging and discharging currents that detects during greater than-100mA and less than 20mA (S32: be), not yet discharge and recharge also harmlessly owing to being judged to be, so CPU51 reads the maximum monomer voltage (S33) among battery block 11,12,13 from RAM53.At this, the maximum monomer voltage of reading from RAM53 is written in RAM53 take 250m second as the cycle as described above.Afterwards, CPU51 detects the battery temperature (S34) of secondary cell 1 via A/D converter section 4.
Then, CPU51 is based on the maximum monomer voltage of reading and the battery temperature that detects, and determines accordingly with Fig. 3 and reads a degradation speed (S35) of storing in ROM52.Then, CPU51 degradation speed (S36) that the content addition of the accumulative total degradation speed of storing in RAM53 is read.Thus, degradation speed take 20 seconds as the cycle by accumulative total.Afterwards, CPU51 judges whether the accumulative total degradation speed has surpassed 50000 (S37), in the situation that do not surpass (S37: no), makes to process to enter step S40.
Surpassed at 50000 o'clock (S37: be) in the accumulative total degradation speed, CPU51 will add up degradation speed remove be 0 (S38) afterwards, make the content of the deteriorated counter of accumulative total increase (adding 1) (S39).Then, CPU51 judges whether the deteriorated counter of accumulative total is 0 (S40).Be 0 o'clock (S40: be) at the deteriorated counter of accumulative total, because the deteriorated counter of accumulative total from the correction of previous deterioration factor does not once advance, therefore finish the processing of Fig. 6 yet.
Be not 0 o'clock (S40: no) at the deteriorated counter of accumulative total, next CPU51 determines whether that secondary cell 1 being detected is full of electricity (S41), (S41: no) when being full of electricity not detected, directly finishes the processing of Fig. 6.(S41: be) when being full of electricity detected, CPU51 is initialized as 1 (S42) afterwards with the 2nd deterioration factor corresponding with the degradation of secondary cell 1 in preservation, and the content of the 2nd deterioration factor stored in RAM53 be multiply by 0.99 (S43).
Next, CPU51 makes the deteriorated counter of accumulative total reduce (subtracting 1) (S44), and judges whether the deteriorated counter of accumulative total is 0 (S45), be not (S45: no) at 0 o'clock, makes to process to be back to step S43.By the processing of above step S43 to S45, until the deteriorated counter of accumulative total becomes till 0, repeatedly the 2nd deterioration factor be multiply by 0.99.Thus, increase with the degradation that the 2nd deterioration factor is set up after corresponding.
Be 0 o'clock (S45: be) at the deteriorated counter of accumulative total, CPU51 revises (S46) afterwards to the content that the content of the deterioration factor stored in ROM52 multiply by the 2nd deterioration factor of storing in RAM53, finishes the processing of Fig. 6.
Then, when the processing of Fig. 7 was activated, CPU51 read the maximum monomer voltage (S52) among battery block 11,12,13 from RAM53, and detected the battery temperature (S53) of secondary cell 1 via A/D converter section 4.Afterwards, CPU51 for example determines the initial value (S54) of charging current based on the maximum monomer voltage of reading and the battery temperature that detects according to the list data of storing in ROM52.For definite and initial value (setting electric current) maximum monomer voltage and the corresponding charging current of battery temperature, due to record in detail in patent documentation 1, therefore in this description will be omitted.
Then, CPU51 multiply by to the initial value of determined charging current the deterioration factor of storing in ROM52 and calculates charging current (S55), generate the data (S56) of the charging current of calculating, the data that generate are sent to from Department of Communication Force 9 control power supply unit 21 (S57).
Moreover, in step S55, also can be with the learning capacity of storing in ROM52 with respect to the ratio of nominal capacity as deterioration factor.
In addition, the data of charging current are along with being sent out from the poll of controlling power supply unit 21, keep the correction of learning capacity before being full of electricity or the transmission that keeps the data of the charging current of newly calculating before being full of electricity detected but also can detect in the explanation of Fig. 2.
As more than, according to present embodiment, whenever the discharge capacity (perhaps charging capacity) of secondary cell becomes when being full of capacitance (whenever being counted as 1 circulation time), deterioration factor be multiply by 1st deterioration factor (0.9992) corresponding with the degradation of secondary cell revise.
Thus, whenever the charge and discharge cycles number of secondary cell increases at 1 o'clock, calculate according to the mode that charging current diminishes along with the degradation in a charge and discharge cycles.
Therefore, can suitably reduce charging current according to the degradation of the use that is accompanied by secondary cell.
In addition, the charging current of secondary cell less than the absolute value of 20mA and discharging current less than 100mA during in, by the maximum monomer voltage of time Sequence Detection and battery temperature, whenever the degradation speed corresponding with the maximum monomer voltage that detects and battery temperature by accumulative total after value greater than 50000 o'clock, deterioration factor be multiply by 2nd deterioration factor (0.99) corresponding with the degradation of secondary cell revises.
Therefore, when the aggregate-value of the degradation speed that had been added up in both not charged also no between the storage life of discharge at secondary cell surpasses setting, can calculate according to the mode that charging current diminishes along with the degradation corresponding with the afore mentioned rules value.
Have again, learn to be full of capacitance based on charging capacity or the discharge capacity of secondary cell, and according to learning capacity with respect to the ratio (deterioration factor) of nominal capacity large/change of the little charging current that decides secondary cell is large/diminish.
That is to say, along with the use of secondary cell (passing through between the increase of period and storage life etc.) and learning capacity can descend, calculate according to the less mode of the larger deterioration factor of degradation of the use that is accompanied by secondary cell thus, therefore the larger charging current of degradation according to secondary cell is determined littlely.
Therefore, can suitably reduce charging current according to the degradation of the use that is accompanied by secondary cell.
In addition, detecting after secondary cell is full of electricity, be full of capacitance according to the 1st deterioration factor or above-mentioned the 2nd deterioration factor correction.
Therefore, be retained owing to becoming the correction that is full of capacitance before being full of electricity condition at secondary cell, so can guarantee until the capacity of secondary cell reaches the continuity that is full of the charging till electricity.
Should think that this disclosed execution mode is all only illustration, and be not restricted contents.Scope of the present invention is not foregoing, and is represented by claim, comprises the content that is equal to claims and the whole changes in scope.
