Figure 1A is the flow chart of explanation according to the accumulator charging method of first embodiment of the invention.Suppose that the storage battery that is recharged in the exemplary embodiment is a hermetic lead accumulator.
Before the hermetic lead accumulator charging, measure the second battery tension Vba0 and ambient temperature Ta (S101).Then, hermetic lead accumulator is carried out precharge (S102, S103).About 5 seconds at interval after, measure the first battery tension Vba1 (S105).
Then, the first battery tension Vba1 and the first predeterminated voltage V1, the second predeterminated voltage V2 and the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3 are compared, wherein V3<V2<V2.
If the first battery tension Vba1 between the first predeterminated voltage V1 and the second predeterminated voltage V2, carries out first charging (S106) with first kind of charge mode.If the first battery tension Vba1 between the second predeterminated voltage V2 and the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3, carries out second charging (S107) with second kind of charge mode.
If the first battery tension Vba1, carries out activity charging (S108) less than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3.In intended duration, repeat by the activity charging and measure subsequently cycle that the 3rd battery tension Vba2 forms up to the 3rd battery tension Vba2 greater than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3.If the 3rd battery tension Vba2 greater than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3, carries out second charging (S108, S107) with second charge mode in predetermined period.If the 3rd battery tension Vba2 is not more than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3 in predetermined period, finish the charging operations (S108) of hermetic lead accumulator.
If the first battery tension Vba1 is greater than the first predeterminated voltage V1, if perhaps the first storage battery Vba1 is less than the 4th predeterminated voltage V4 (V4<V3), then complete charge operation (S110, S109).
Be equal to or greater than under the situation of the 5th predeterminated voltage V5 at the second battery tension Vba0, carry out in the following operation:, then measure the first battery tension Vba1 (S103) after precharge if charging current Ip is equal to or less than Imax and is equal to or greater than Imin (Imin>0) between aforementioned charge period.If charging current Ip is greater than Imax between precharge phase, then display alarm information is pointed out that charger work is undesired and is stopped charging operations (S103).If charging current Ip is less than Imin during precharge, then display alarm information is pointed out that battery is undesired and is stopped charging operations (S103).
Under the situation of the second battery tension Vba0 less than the 5th predeterminated voltage V5, carry out in the following operation: if charging current Ip is greater than Imax between aforementioned precharge phase, then display alarm information is pointed out that charger work is undesired and is stopped charging operations (S102).If charging current Ip is equal to or less than Imax between precharge phase, then measure the first battery tension Vba1 (S102) after the precharge.
Figure 1B is the block diagram of explanation according to the charger 100 of the storage battery 101 of the embodiment of the invention.
Battery charger 100 comprises to be equal to or less than the charging voltage control unit 104 of predetermined value control storage battery 101 charging voltages, the ambient temperature measurement unit 102 that is used for measures ambient temperature Ta when charging, and the depth of discharge detecting unit 103 that is used to detect the depth of discharge of storage battery 101, and be used to the power input unit 105 that provides power supply to arrive charging voltage control unit 104.

Herein, when last parameter and back one parameter when proportional, say that described last parameter value has or keeps and a back parameter value " positive characteristic ".Equally, when last parameter and back one parameter are inversely proportional to when concern, say that described last parameter value has or keeps and a back parameter value " opposite characteristic ".Same depth of discharge detecting unit 103 or the charging voltage or the measurement of measuring when charging beginning begin to reach scheduled voltage institute elapsed time to charging voltage from charging operations.Depth of discharge detecting unit 103 begins to reach scheduled voltage institute elapsed time as the parameter detecting depth of discharge to charging voltage by the charging voltage using charging operations and begin or from charging operations.
Fig. 2 is the detail flowchart of explanation according to the accumulator charging method of first embodiment of the invention.
At first, measure the battery tension Vba0 of open-circuit condition storage battery and the ambient temperature Ta (S201) around the storage battery.For example, carry out temperature survey with thermistor.
After measuring battery tension Vba0, use charging current Ip to carry out the precharge (S203,204) of the scheduled time.According to present embodiment, utilize the measurement of charging current Ip to detect the undesired of charger or battery.Especially, battery tension Vba0 and the 5th predeterminated voltage of measuring before the precharge compared (S202).
If battery tension Vba0 (is expressed as Ip>Imax) at S209 less than the 5th predeterminated voltage V5 and the charging current Ip between aforementioned precharge phase greater than Imax, if perhaps the charging current Ip that is equal to or greater than between the 5th predeterminated voltage V5 and aforementioned precharge phase of storage battery Vba0 (is expressed as Ip<Imin) at S205, then complete charge operation (S210, S206) less than Imin.This might detect the storage battery and/or because the storage battery that overcharges and discharge and damage of internal short-circuit.
If the battery tension Vba0 that detects before precharge is equal to or greater than the 5th predeterminated voltage V5 and charging current Ip greater than Imax, determine then that charger is undesired and stop charging operations (to be expressed as Ip>Imax) at S205.
After scheduled period after finishing precharge, and the battery tension Vba1 under the detection open-circuit condition (S207, S208, S211).The present invention determines the state (especially discharge condition) of storage battery according to battery tension Vba1.
As mentioned above, measure battery tension Vba1 after being preferably in the scheduled period of finishing after the precharge.Should be noted that according to required charging voltage value during the charge in batteries and determine that the battery discharging state may cause flase drop to be surveyed.Its reason is in the storage battery over-discharge can or when not using for a long time, the charging voltage of storage battery can increase, and the charging voltage of Zeng Jiaing can phonily produce the indication that charge in batteries has been finished like this.
On the other hand, if just determine discharge condition and do not carry out any precharge according to the battery tension of open-circuit condition, in the discharge condition deterministic process big fluctuation can appear.Its reason is that the storage battery of existing same discharge condition has various open circuit voltages later on, depends on the storage and maintenance mode of each storage battery.
Further specify aforementioned phenomenon.Do not use if be in the lead accumulator of certain discharge condition, because self discharge especially forms the lead sulfate thin layer on the negative active core-shell material surface.Because this layer itself has the self discharge amount, do not become substantially with its discharge condition of back at storage battery always.But the electromotive force of negative plate can increase anodization so that reduce battery tension.
Only determine that according to battery open-circuit voltage discharge condition may phonily indicate excessive depth of discharge to the actual discharge state in this case, thereby hinder charging correctly.Further, because the battery tension that electrolytic solution concentrated is polarized in after the discharge at once is unsettled.In discharge condition identification, use this unstable voltage can reduce the judgement precision greatly.
According to the present invention, measure the battery tension Vba1 of open-circuit condition after the scheduled period after finishing precharge.As a result, the fluctuation in the discharge condition judgement is minimized so that allow accurate discharge condition to judge.Precharge be used to reduce since the lead sulfate thin layer that a little self-charging produces and eliminate discharge after at once concentrated polarization, thereby might obtain to reflect the battery tension of the open circuit of actual discharge state.
According to the present invention, battery tension Vba1 is as the parameter of control charging operations.Specifically, if (V2<V1), the discharge condition of storage battery is defined as " shallow " to battery tension Vba1, therefore carries out first charging (charging 1) (S212) with first charging modes between the first predeterminated voltage V1 and second predeterminated voltage.
If battery tension Vba1 (between the V3<V2), determines that discharge condition is " deeply ", therefore carries out second charging of second charging modes at the second predeterminated voltage V2 and the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3.
If battery tension Vba1 even less than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3, determine storage battery because over-discharge can etc. has low reception degree to charging, therefore carries out active charging (S214).For example can carry out active charging by using the constant current between the short period, so as to since over-discharge can and the passivation layer that between grid just and positive active material, forms at the long-term lead sulfate (low charging receptions degree is arranged) that does not use the expansion that forms of storage battery charge.Like this, storage battery is renewable does further charging.
After the activity charging, storage battery is considered to have the discharge condition of " deeply ", so that carry out second charging with second kind of charge mode.
According to the time span that the degree and the storage battery of overdischarge is not used, can not recover storage battery by single activity charging.So, in the predetermined time limit in cycle (N cycle), repeat by activity charging and cycle of forming with open-circuit condition detection battery tension Vba2 subsequently, up to battery tension Vba2 greater than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3.(N cycle) is in case the 3rd battery tension Vba2 greater than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3, carries out second charging (charging 2) (S215, S216, S217, S213) with second charge mode in intended duration.If the 3rd battery tension Vba2 not greater than the 3rd predeterminated voltage V3, determines that storage battery is undesired or uses up in intended duration (N cycle), finishes the charging operations (S210) to hermetic lead accumulator.
For safer in charging process; if battery tension Vba1 is higher than the first predeterminated voltage V1 after precharge is finished; if or battery tension Vba1 is lower than the 4th predeterminated voltage V4 (V4<V3) wherein; so; preferably determine charger for unusual or storage battery is unusual/exhaust; and the termination charging operations (S206, S210).
Secondly, with reference to accompanying drawing 3 and accompanying drawing 4, provided in first kind of charge mode first charging (charging 1) (S212) and second charging (charging 2) most preferred embodiment (S213) in second kind of charge mode.
Fig. 3 shows the charging figure of first charging (charging 1) of first charge mode.First charging (charging 1) originates in the constant voltage charge (initiation of charge electric current: Ii (A)) according to the first control voltage Vch1.When the charging voltage of storage battery reached control voltage Vch1, charging current reduced with constant voltage control voltage.In case charging current is reduced to predetermined value Ia, the control voltage Vch1 that is used to charge is reduced to Vch2, wherein Vch2<Vch1.As a result, prevented owing to only through overcharging that the storage battery of the discharge of shallow degree charges and causes, thereby, will reduce to minimum to the reduction in life-span of storage battery.
Fig. 4 shows the charging figure of second charging (charging 2) of second kind of charge mode.Second charging (charging 2) originates in the constant voltage charge (initiation of charge electric current: Ii (A)) according to the 3rd control voltage Vch3.When the charging voltage of storage battery reached the 3rd control voltage Vch3, charging current reduced with constant voltage control voltage.In case charging current is reduced to predetermined value Ib, just use current value I c in a preset time, to carry out constant current charge.If the value of Ib and Ic equates then is preferable.
With current value is that the constant current charge of Ic can prevent the undercharge of charging and causing owing to the storage battery through deep discharge, thereby, make the life-span of storage battery reach maximum.After constant current charge, Vch4 charges with control voltage, wherein Vch4<Vch3.
The initial control voltage Vch1 that uses respectively in first kind of charge mode and the second kind of charge mode can be preset to identical value with Vch3.Regard the charging acceptance function of the ambient temperature in the charging process as, preferably control voltage Vch1 and Vch3 are controlled,, thereby make effect of the present invention reach best so that make it keep opposite characteristic with respect to the ambient temperature Ta that measures before the charging.
The second control voltage Vch2 and the 4th control voltage Vch4 can also be preset to identical value, thereby the relevant portion of charging voltage control unit can use in first and second kinds of charge modes, thereby reduce the expense of charger effectively.Preferably also control voltage Vch2 and Vch4 are controlled, so that make the opposite characteristic of its maintenance with respect to ambient temperature Ta.The first embodiment of the present invention: example one
With reference to Fig. 5, will the example 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention be described.

Odd cycle is carried out discharge, and 1. also 2. the dual numbers cycle carries out discharge
As the example of routine, the test that the storage battery (as mentioned above) of identical 24V/28Ah is carried out is to use following discharging condition D, E, and F and G: condition D (in Fig. 5, being designated as D):
Carry out after the discharge 1., finish the charging 1 of first charge mode separately.Condition E (in Fig. 5, being designated as E):

Fig. 8 shows according to a second embodiment of the present invention to an improvement of charging figure, wherein, has used a diverse ways to determine depth of discharge.Especially, used the constant current charge of an initiation of charge electric current (Is), and measured to institute elapsed time (T4) of a charging voltage scheduled voltage of arrival (V4) beginning from charging.Measuring Time T4 and depth of discharge reference time (Tc) are compared.If T4 Tc, be defined as shallow degree discharge condition (that is, depth of discharge be about 50% or still less).Then, charging is controlled, in the employing and the second embodiment of the present invention, the identical mode under the situation of Vs Vc is controlled charging.
At second embodiment of the invention described above and in improving, determine shallow degree discharge condition (that is, depth of discharge be approximately 50% or still less) example in the charging control carried out be by using a timer to be expressed as the constant voltage control of a single-stage.However, the present invention is not limited thereto; Can also depend on the value of Vs or T4 and carry out multistage constant voltage control, to obtain better charging.The second embodiment of the present invention-example 1
As preliminary experiment, the 12V/30Ah lead accumulator has been carried out the cycle lie test by the charging method of using the routine shown in Figure 12.Adopted 15.0V (under 25 ℃) charging control voltage V1 in the charging method, the charging interval of the maximum charging current of 5.0A and 12 hours.By using constant current 7.5A, change discharge time, carried out the discharge of multiple depth of discharge.Recharge and discharge.
Carried out by using constant current 7.5A, storage battery being discharged to final voltage 10.5V fully, after this charging and discharge in 50 cycles to detect the capacity of each storage battery.When discharge capacity arrive initial value 50% or still less the time, determine exhausting of storage battery, or the full life-span.
As a kind of anode grid alloy, a detected battery and a Pb-Ca (0.08%)-Sn (1.0%) alloy combination, this alloy is Pb-Ca type alloy commonly used, or with a Pb-Sb (3.0%)-As (0.2%) alloy combination, this alloy is a Pb-Sb type alloy, is mainly used in the liquid-type lead accumulator.
Using a kind of proportion is the electrolyte of 1.320 (20 ℃), be used to make up the lead accumulator of Pb-Sb type anode grid alloy, the used for electrolyte of multiple proportion 1.260 to 1.340 there is the lead accumulator of Pb-Ca type anode grid alloy in combination, to determine the influence of electrolyte density to cycle lie.
The result as shown in Figure 9.As can be seen from Fig. 9, electrolyte density be 1.280 or more (20 ℃) and depth of discharge be about 50% or still less interval on, can observe the reduction in life-span that combination has the lead accumulator of Pb-Ca type anode grid alloy.The reduction that this life-span reduces by the capacity of positive plate causes.Further, the near interface between active material of positive electrode and grid can be observed the passivation accumulation of lead sulfate.On the other hand, be converted into the active material of positive electrode of brown lead oxide, may show passivation owing to overcharging by charging.According to uncertain supposition, in the passivation of active material of positive electrode, relate to inhomogeneous that the discharge that produces owing to partial discharge distributes.
Secondly, in above-mentioned preliminary experiment,, carry out the test of cycle lie by using multiple charging control voltage.The result as shown in figure 10.Employed battery combination has Pb-Ca type anode grid alloy in the test, and to have used at 20 ℃ of following proportions be 1.320 electrolyte.
From the result shown in Figure 10 as can be seen, by using 2.40V/ unit or charging still less control voltage, be about 50% or still less zone corresponding to depth of discharge, can reduce the reduction of cycle lie, and simultaneously, because inadequate charging in the zone corresponding to big depth of discharge, can be observed the remarkable reduction of cycle lie.In minimizing corresponding to the reduction of the cycle lie in the zone of little depth of discharge, may be the charging reacting phase to uniform result, this realizes by charging voltage being dropped to about 2.40V/ unit.
Use high charge voltage, wherein, the anode polarization of large-scale positive plate has taken place in charging process.In this case, charging is reflected at the zone that has higher relatively charging acceptance and carries out.However,, may produce gaseous state oxygen, rather than generate the oxidation reaction of brown lead oxide, thereby cause the accumulation of lead sulfate in other zones.By inference, the part that is converted to brown lead oxide is more preferential in charging, thereby causes overcharging and therefore reduce the life-span.
Using 2.40V/ unit or lower charging to control in the second embodiment of the present invention of voltage, estimate that the anode polarization that has little degree exists, thereby the charging reaction is being carried out in relatively slow and uniform mode.This may cause the lead sulfate (owing to partial reaction produces) of uneven distribution to be reacted into brown lead oxide effectively, thereby eliminates overcharging and the reduction of cycle lie being reduced to minimum of other parts significantly.
Therefore, can confirm,, control charging voltage, can be effectively the reduction of cycle lie be reduced to minimum by the depth of discharge that detects in the application to cause multiple depth of discharge according to the method for present embodiment.(second embodiment of the present invention-example 2)

Charging control voltage (V1)=14.1V (2.35V/ unit)
Charging interval: when charging voltage reach V3 (=bring into use timer 14.0V) time, and, after timer begins 8 hours, stop charging; Perhaps (b) uses following condition under the situation of Vs<Vc:
Charging control voltage (V1)=15.0V (2.50V/ unit)
Charging interval: when charging voltage reach V3 (=bring into use timer 14.0V) time, and, after timer begins 8 hours, stop charging.2. implement charging method under the following conditions according to routine:

To recognize that preferably the value of default control voltage makes it keep opposite characteristic with respect to ambient temperature Ta.Because the increase of ambient temperature Ta even charging control voltage is identical, also may cause and for example exist the identical phenomenon of polarization of reinforcement.This must compensate by reducing charging voltage.
Therefore, charging method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in reduction with respect to the cycle lie on the zone of little depth of discharge, can by use Pb-Ca type anode grid alloy and 20 ℃ of following proportions be 1.280 or higher electrolyte reduce to minimum.The charging method of the second embodiment of the present invention is particularly useful to hermetic lead accumulator, and to this, Pb-Ca type anode grid alloy is absolutely necessary.(third embodiment of the present invention)
