The total voltage detection circuit is connected between pins 1 and 5 of the USB connector 6, is used for detecting the voltage value accessed by the USB connector 6 and outputs the voltage value to the MCU controller 2. Specifically, the total voltage detection branch circuit 7 includes a first voltage-dividing resistor, a second voltage-dividing resistor and a first protection capacitor, one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor is connected to pin 1 of the USB connector 6, the other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor is connected to one end of the second voltage-dividing resistor, and the other end of the second voltage-dividing resistor is connected to pin 5 of the USB connector 6, and the protection capacitor is connected in parallel to two ends of the second resistor. The detection signal of the total voltage detection branch circuit 7 is sent to the MCU controller 2 from the node of the first voltage-dividing resistor and the second voltage-dividing resistor, and the MCU controller 2 operates according to the voltage value corresponding to the detection signal after receiving the detection signal, where the normal voltage input value of the USB connector 6 is generally 4.5V to 5.5V, and if the voltage input value exceeds this range, the USB connector 6 is in an abnormal power supply state. Under abnormal power supply, the MCU controller 2 will cut off power supply to all the charging modules 4 through the current bus module 3.
The current master control module 3 comprises a plurality of switching elements and a switching branch 8 for connecting the enabling end of the switching element and the MCU controller 2. In this embodiment, it is preferable to use an AO4453 switch chip having four MOS transistors, and the AO4453 chip includes eight pins, three source input pins, four drain output pins, and one gate control pin. Wherein, the three source input pins are connected in parallel and then connected with a 1-pin input power supply of the USB connector 6. The four drain output pins are connected in parallel and then are respectively connected with the power input ends of the four charging modules 4. The grid control pin is connected with the output end of the switching branch 8.
The switching branch circuit 8 comprises a first switching triode, a second switching triode, a first switching resistor, a second switching resistor, a third switching resistor and a fourth switching resistor; the first switch triode and the second switch triode are P-type triodes. Wherein, the pin of MCU controller 2 is connected to the one end of first adapter resistor, receives the output signal of MCU controller 2, and the other end of first adapter resistor is connected in the base of first switch triode, and the both ends of second adapter resistor are connected respectively between 1 foot of USB joint 6 and the base of first switch triode, and the both ends of third adapter resistor are connected respectively between 1 foot of USB joint 6 and the collecting electrode of first switch triode, and the projecting pole of first switch triode ground connection.

Therefore, the switching circuit converts the control signal output by the MCU controller 2 into a control signal which is suitable for the voltage and can control the AO4453 switch chip to be switched on and switched off.
The number of the charging modules 4 is four, and the structures of the charging modules 4 in each group are the same. The charging module 4 includes a charging unit 9, a current sampling unit 10, and a battery detection unit 11.
The charging unit 9 comprises a charging chip 14 and a battery interface 15, the charging chip 14 comprises a charging enable terminal, a current input terminal, a current output terminal and a grounding terminal, and the battery interface 15 is connected in series between the current output terminal and the grounding terminal, so that the charging interface, the current output terminal and the grounding terminal form a charging branch; the current input end is connected with the external current output, the charging enable end receives a control signal sent by the MCU controller 2, and when the MCU controller 2 sends a starting control signal to the charging enable end, the current input into the charging chip 14 by the current input end is processed by the charging chip 14 and then is connected into the charging branch, so that the battery in the charging unit 9 is in a charging state. When the MCU controller 2 sends a cut-off control signal to the charging enable terminal, the current input from the current input terminal into the charging chip 14 will not be connected to the charging branch, so that the battery in the charging unit 9 is in an uncharged state.
Specifically, a switch transmission part 12 is arranged between the charging enable end of the charging chip 14 and the MCU controller 2, the switch transmission part 12 includes an input resistor, a third switching triode and a third voltage dividing resistor, and the third switching triode is P-type. One end of the third voltage division resistor is connected to the charging enabling end, the other end of the third voltage division resistor is connected to the collector electrode of the third switching triode, the emitting electrode of the third switching triode is grounded, one end of the input resistor is connected to one end pin of the MCU controller 2, and the other end of the input resistor is connected to the base electrode of the third switching triode. Therefore, under the action of the third switch transmission part 12, when the MCU controller 2 outputs a high-level control signal, the third switch triode is turned on, and the charging enable terminal is grounded through the voltage-dividing resistor, so that the charging enable terminal obtains a low-level input signal. When the MCU controller 2 outputs a low-level control signal, the third switching transistor is turned off, and the charging enable terminal is in a turned-off state, so that the charging enable terminal does not acquire an input signal.
The current sampling unit 10 is connected to the charging branch, and is configured to obtain a current value signal on the charging branch and output a voltage signal of current sampling. The specific current sampling unit 10 comprises a first resistor, a sampling resistor and a decoupling capacitor, the first resistor is connected in series between the grounding ends of the battery interface 15 and the charging chip 14, one end of the sampling resistor is connected to a node between the first resistor and the battery interface 15, the other end of the sampling resistor is connected with the MCU controller 2, and two ends of the decoupling capacitor are respectively connected between the grounding ends of the first resistor and the charging chip 14. The sampled current flows from the node between the first resistor and the battery interface 15 to the sampling resistor, and is converted into a voltage at the sampling resistor and then input to the MCU controller 2. Specifically, the first resistor is 0.1K ohm in resistance, the sampling resistor is 1K ohm in resistance, and the influence of the resistors on the current on the charging branch circuit is reduced.
A battery detection unit 11, coupled to the charging branch, for detecting whether a battery exists in the charging branch, and outputting a corresponding battery detection signal to the MCU controller 2 based on whether a battery exists in the charging branch; specifically, the battery detection unit 11 includes a voltage supply branch 16 and a detection branch 17, and the voltage supply branch 16 is connected between the current output terminal of the charging chip 14 and the node of the battery interface 15, and is used for providing a reference voltage. Specifically, the voltage supply branch 16 includes a short-prevention diode and a voltage drop resistor, an anode of the short-prevention diode is connected to a 5V power supply voltage, a cathode of the short-prevention diode is connected to one end of the voltage drop resistor, and the other end of the voltage drop resistor is connected to a node between a current output end of the charging chip 14 and the battery interface 15. The detection branch 17 is connected in parallel to two ends of the battery interface 15, and includes a first detection resistor, a second detection resistor and a protection capacitor, one end of the first detection resistor is connected to the voltage output end of the power supply branch, the other end of the first detection resistor is connected to one end of the second detection resistor, the other end of the second detection resistor is connected to a node between the current grounding end of the charging chip 14 and the battery interface 15, and the protection capacitor is connected in parallel to two ends of the second resistor. The resistance values of the first detection resistor and the second detection resistor are at least 100K ohms, excessive shunting of the charging branch is avoided, the resistance value of the first detection resistor is 200K ohms in the embodiment, and the resistance value of the second detection resistor is 100K ohms. The battery detection signal is emitted from a node between the first detection resistor and the second detection resistor.
When no battery exists in the battery interface 15, the voltage at the output end of the voltage supply branch 16 is close to the supply voltage of 5V, and the voltage value of the battery detection signal output from the node between the first detection resistor and the second detection resistor in the detection branch 17 is within a stable voltage value range. When a battery exists in the battery interface 15, the voltage value of the output end of the voltage supply branch 16 is equal to the battery voltage inserted into the battery interface 15, so that the voltage input to the detection branch 17 decreases, which causes the voltage value of the battery detection signal output from the node between the first detection resistor and the second detection resistor to decrease, and the voltage value input to the MCU controller 2 decreases. Therefore, the MCU controller 2 can determine whether or not a battery is present in the battery interface 15 based on whether or not the acquired voltage value of the battery detection signal is within the threshold value.
The indicating module 5 comprises a plurality of indicating units 13, the number of the indicating units 13 is the same as that of the charging modules 4, and the indicating units 13 of the charging modules 4 correspond to one another. The indicating unit 13 includes a charging indicating lamp and an uncharged indicating lamp, the charging indicating lamp and the uncharged indicating lamp are of two colors, such as a green light and a red light; the anode of the charging indicator lamp is connected with the MCU controller 2, and the cathode is grounded; similarly, the anode of the uncharged indicator lamp is connected with the MCU controller 2, and the cathode is grounded. The MCU controller 2 acquires an output signal of the indicating unit 13 corresponding to the current sampling unit 10 of the charging module 4, and when the output current value signal of the current sampling unit 10 is not 0, the MCU controller 2 outputs a level signal to control a charging indicator lamp to be turned on, and an uncharged indicator lamp is turned off; otherwise, the MCU controller 2 outputs a level signal to control the charging indicator lamp to be turned off, and the non-charging indicator lamp is turned on.
As shown in fig. 2, a battery equalizing charge method:
s1, obtaining input power supply voltage, judging whether the input voltage is in a safe voltage value, if not, cutting off the current of the input charging branch, and if so, executing a step S2;
the MCU controller 2 obtains a voltage value signal output by the total voltage detection branch 7 of the power supply module 1, and compares the voltage value signal with a preset safe voltage value range, wherein the safe voltage value range is generally set to be 4.5V to 5.5V.
And the MCU controller 2 is used for executing and outputting a control signal to the current master control element to control when the current input into the charging branch is cut off.
S2, sequentially detecting whether a battery exists in the battery interface 15, and recording a charging branch with the battery interface 15 as a working branch;
in the embodiment, the MCU controller 2 obtains the detection voltage values output by the four battery detection units 11, respectively, if the output detection voltage value is smaller than a preset detection threshold, a battery exists in the battery interface 15 corresponding to the charging branch, otherwise, no battery exists in the battery interface 15.
S3, starting the working branches, sequentially obtaining charging current values of the working branches, and adding the charging current values to obtain a charging current sum value;
the charging branch is opened and closed, and a control signal is output to the switch transmission piece 12 of the charging unit 9 through the MCU controller 2 to control the on-off of the charging branch.
The MCU controller 2 acquires a voltage value signal of current sampling input from the current sampling unit 10, and then converts the acquired voltage value signal into a corresponding current value. And finally, adding the obtained current values in the charging branches to obtain a sum value of the charging current.
S4, comparing the obtained charging current sum value with the multiple of the rated current value of a single battery one by one, and obtaining the maximum multiple value smaller than the charging current sum value as the polling charging quantity;
the rated current value of the battery refers to the maximum rated value when the battery is charged, the rated current values of different batteries are different, and in the scheme, the rated current value is 0.5A.
For example, there are three batteries in the battery interface 15, and the sum of the charging currents corresponding to the three battery interfaces 15 is 1.4A. The MCU controller 2 first compares the doubled battery rated current value, 0.5A of which is less than 1.4A, with the sum of the charging current. Then, the MCU controller 2 compares the twice rated battery current value with the total charging current value, wherein the twice rated battery current value 1A is less than 1.4A. Then the MCU controller 2 compares the battery rated current value which is three times with the charging current sum value, wherein the three times of the battery rated current value 1.5A is larger than 1.4A.
