The operation principle of the utility model wheelbarrow lithium battery protection circuit 100 is described in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 3 to Fig. 6:
After P+ and the P-termination of wheelbarrow lithium battery protection circuit 100 enters load, form discharge loop as shown in Figure 3, when electric unicycle normally runs, the high level of microcontroller chip 16 stable output, metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 is in opening all the time, and the current i L in inductance L is constant current value I0;
When wheelbarrow lithium battery protection circuit 100 needs to limit the discharging current in discharge loop, microcontroller chip 16 with the constant pwm signal of a certain fixed frequency output duty cycle to the grid of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1, metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 is according to the pwm signal conducting received or cut-off, the conducting of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 or cut-off waveform are as shown in Figure 4 (waveform of pwm signal is consistent with the waveform of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 conducting or cut-off), the conducting of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 or cut-off make the current i L in inductance L change as shown in Figure 4, as shown in Figure 4: when metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 opens, inductance L is in the discharge loop that battery pack 10 and load form, current i L in inductance L continues to rise, when metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 closes, inductance L and sustained diode, load forms another discharge loop, current i L continuous decrease, therefore in the one-period of pwm signal, the mean value of the current i L in inductance L is less than I0, therefore the electric current flowing through inductance L is limited, by changing the duty ratio of pwm signal, namely can the current i L in inductance L be regulated and controled.
When brownout in electric unicycle (being detected by the voltage acquisition end of analog front-end unit 14) or discharging current excessive (being detected by the sampling resistor R be connected with microcontroller chip 16), the PWM waveform that microcontroller chip 16 reduces gradually with a certain fixed frequency output duty cycle is to the grid of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1, metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 is according to the pwm signal conducting received or cut-off, and its conducting or cut-off waveform (being also pwm signal waveform) are as shown in Figure 5.As shown in Figure 5; because the time of metal-oxide-semiconductor Q1 conducting in each cycle shortens gradually; therefore the current i L in inductance L also reduces gradually; through the adjustment in multiple cycle; the mean value of the current i L in inductance L will reduce gradually; therefore the electric current flowing through load in discharge loop also reduces gradually, and then causes electric unicycle motor speed to reduce gradually, finally reaches the object of slow autostop.

It should be noted that, the frequency of pwm signal is between 100kHz to 500kHz, its actual numerical value depends on the induction reactance value of inductance L and the volume of inductance L, and the pwm signal that microcontroller chip exports can carry out opened loop control and also can carry out closed-loop control, namely only opened loop control is undertaken exporting limit discharging current or reduce discharging current gradually by the pwm signal preset, and does not carry out Real-Time Monitoring to discharging current and adjust pwm signal in real time; Closed-loop control refers to that microcontroller chip monitors the discharging current in discharge loop in real time, and produces corresponding pwm signal according to the discharging current size in discharge loop and limit discharging current or reduce discharging current gradually.
