It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the invention.
Example 1
Fig. 1 shows a dual battery system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including: the charging and discharging control system comprises a charging and discharging management unit, a logic control unit, a first battery, a second battery, a first controllable switch, a second controllable switch, a third controllable switch and a fourth controllable switch;
the input port of the logic control unit is electrically connected with the first port of the charge and discharge management unit;
a first port of the charge and discharge management unit is electrically connected with a voltage port of the first battery through a first controllable switch; the first port of the charge and discharge management unit is also electrically connected with the voltage port of the second battery through a second controllable switch; so that a sampling port of the charge and discharge management unit can acquire the electric quantity information of the first battery or the second battery when the first controllable switch or the second controllable switch is turned on; and a first enabling port of the logic control unit is simultaneously connected with the first controllable switch and the second controllable switch; when the electric quantity information needs to be read, the logic control unit switches and outputs high and low level signals through a first enabling port of the logic control unit so as to enable and control the first controllable switch or the second controllable switch to be conducted;
a second port of the charge and discharge management unit is electrically connected with a power supply port of the first battery through a third controllable switch; the second port of the charge and discharge management unit is also electrically connected with the power supply port of the second battery through a fourth controllable switch; so that the second port of the charge and discharge management unit can be connected to the first battery or the second battery when the third controllable switch or the fourth controllable switch is turned on, and a corresponding charge and discharge loop is turned on; and a second enabling port of the logic control unit is simultaneously connected with the third controllable switch and the fourth controllable switch; when charging and discharging management is needed, the logic control unit switches and outputs high and low level signals through a second enabling port of the logic control unit to enable the third controllable switch or the fourth controllable switch to be conducted;
the charging and discharging management unit further comprises a third port used for being connected with an external charging power supply so as to charge the first battery or the second battery when the external charging power supply is connected.
The system adopts an ITE8528 chip as a logic control unit and adopts BQ24725 as a charging and discharging power management chip; when the external 19V DC is plugged into the tablet personal computer, the BQ24725 supplies power to the system by using the external 19V, and converts the 19V into 13.05V through a hardware circuit to charge the battery; when the external 19V is unplugged, the BQ24725 uses the battery to power the system. And an ITE8528 chip is adopted as a logic controller to control the switching of the first battery and the second battery in the process of supplying power to the system.
Specifically, the connector is used for simultaneously connecting the first battery and the second battery into the dual-battery system, the connector is in a concave shape, the length of a middle terminal of the connector is smaller than that of terminals at two ends of the connector, so that the charging and discharging loop is delayed in the process that the first battery or the second battery is separated from the dual-battery system (namely, the lengths of first, second, seventh and eighth output terminals for supplying power to the two batteries shown in fig. 2 are larger than those of other terminals, therefore, when the batteries are disassembled and assembled, a control signal for controlling the switching of the batteries is contained on the shorter terminal, the shorter terminal is pulled out before the power supply terminal, a short time difference exists in the middle, the lost control signal is sent to a control terminal of another battery of the equipment through the control circuit, and the system is enough to be switched to another battery for supplying power in the period of time.) when the first battery is connected to the dual-battery system, and the, When the second battery is accessed simultaneously, the system uses 2 GPIOs to respectively control the charging and discharging path and the SMbus battery information reading path. When GPIO1 (second enable signal) is high, battery 1 is used as a charge-discharge path; when the GPIO1 is low, the battery 2 is used as a charge/discharge path. When the GPIO2 (first enable signal) is at a high level, reading the power information of the battery 1; when the GPIO2 is low, the power information of the battery 2 is read. And the information reading interval time of the two batteries is set to 1 s. I.e., to set GPIO2 to switch level logic once every second, resulting in a "high-low-" logic level switch. Through the mode of separately controlling the battery power supply selection and the battery information reading, the power supply of the battery is not switched back and forth when the system acquires the electric quantity of the two batteries at any time, the service life of the battery is not influenced, and the stability of the battery for supplying power to the system is also ensured.
Further, in consideration of an application scenario that a single battery supplies power and a battery is hot-plugged in and out of a tablet computer, a corresponding battery charge and discharge management path tablet computer master controller detects a detection signal of a dual-battery system (the detection signal is accompanied by enabling switching of the GPIO1 and complete charge and discharge management is performed together), and the detection signal is connected into the dual-battery system by detecting whether a first battery and a second battery are short-circuited or not (namely, whether the dual-battery system is changed into a single battery or not); because the battery detection signal of the tablet personal computer and the battery data reading GPIO2 signal both relate to switching GPIO1 to perform charging and discharging management, in order to prevent the switching from being too frequent, the logic time of the battery detection signal and the logic time of the battery data reading GPIO2 signal are combined together, so that the switching frequency is reduced, and the integrity of all battery data is ensured. Therefore, the interval time of battery detection is also 1s, as in the case of battery information reading (GPIO 2). In addition, when the single battery is supplied in a dual-battery system in the tablet personal computer or the single battery is changed into a single battery due to hot plugging, the corresponding GPIO1 cannot be selected as the logic control battery with the highest priority, otherwise, the system may have the possibility that the single battery cannot be started and the battery is pulled out and powered down, so a hardware priority control circuit as shown in fig. 2 is also built, and the hardware priority control circuit can block the control signal of the first enabling port of the charge and discharge management unit when the single battery exists; the control principle is as follows: under the condition that the double batteries exist, the double batteries detect that the IDs are short-circuited to the ground (grounded) of the respective batteries, namely the two signals are used for controlling the power supply of the batteries in the control circuit, under the condition that the two signals are both lowered, the control circuit controls the switching authority of the batteries by an EC (total control signal of a logic control unit), the total control signal switches and outputs the switching of the high state and the low state of GPIO2 to read the electric quantity of the two batteries respectively, the electrified batteries are selected for power supply, and then the GPIO1 is enabled for control, the high state supplies power to the battery 1, and the low state supplies power to the battery 2. When only one battery exists, only one battery detection signal is pulled to the ground under the condition that only a single battery is accessed, the original state of the circuit can be changed, the two signals can both bypass the control of the first enabling port GPIO1, the control circuit is changed into a constant state, namely when only the first battery exists, the BATB _ ID is low, the BATA _ ID is high, and at the moment, the control circuit only works in the state that the first battery is conducted; when only the second battery exists, the BATA _ ID is low, the BATB _ ID is high, and at this time, the control circuit only works in the state that the second battery is conducted, so that the control change is realized, and therefore, the charge and discharge can be carried out only by the currently existing battery under the current logic control (realized by the NMOS tube switch circuit shown in fig. 2).
The utility model discloses in the further embodiment, be used for above-mentioned double cell system in the panel computer to possess corresponding double cell system in making the panel computer, increase the battery duration of panel computer, make it more can satisfy user's demand. In a win10 management system adopted by the existing tablet personal computer, the dual-battery system display is supported, 2 pieces of battery equipment are created through a BIOS (basic input/output System), an interface for accessing battery information by the system is provided, the BIOS feeds back the battery information acquired by the EC to the system through the interface after processing the battery information according to the ACPI (application program interface) rule, and thus the system can accurately display the state information of two batteries in real time, wherein the displayed state information of the batteries comprises battery charging/discharging, charging/discharging remaining time and the like besides the existence and the electric quantity of the batteries.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present invention, and not for the purpose of limiting the same. Various substitutions, modifications and improvements may be made by those skilled in the relevant art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
