The intelligent connecting device can be applied to an emergency starting power supply and can also be applied to a storage battery clamp.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of functional modules of an intelligent connecting device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the smart connection device 100 includes a power connection terminal 20, a load connection terminal 30 and a switch circuit 40, wherein the power connection terminal 20 is configured to be electrically connected to a battery assembly (not shown), the load connection terminal 30 is configured to be electrically connected to an external load (not shown), and the switch circuit 40 is electrically connected between the power connection terminal 20 and the load connection terminal 30.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the power connection terminal 20, the load connection terminal 30 and the switch circuit 40 form a current output circuit 11 for discharging the battery pack to the external load, and the switch circuit 40 is used for turning on or off the current output circuit 11. In this manner, the battery pack can discharge the external load through the smart connection device 100.

In this embodiment, the power connection terminal 20 includes a power positive connection terminal BAT + and a power negative connection terminal BAT-, wherein the power positive connection terminal BAT + and the power negative connection terminal BAT-are electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery assembly in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The battery pack is connected to the smart connector 100 through the power connection terminal 20 to supply an operating voltage to the smart connector 100 and supply power to the external load through the switching circuit 40. It is understood that when the smart connecting device 100 is applied to an emergency starting power supply, the battery assembly may be a built-in battery assembly of the emergency starting power supply. When the intelligent connecting device 100 is applied to a battery clamp, the battery assembly may be an external power supply device, such as a battery assembly of an external emergency starting power supply or other energy storage power supply device.

The load connection terminal 30 includes a load positive connection terminal CAR + and a load negative connection terminal CAR-, wherein the load positive connection terminal CAR + and the load negative connection terminal CAR-are electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the external load in a one-to-one correspondence, and the load negative connection terminal CAR-is also electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND. The external load may be an automotive battery or an automotive engine. It is understood that the automotive battery includes, but is not limited to, a lead-acid battery, a lithium battery, an ultracapacitor, and the like. For example, if the battery assembly is a battery assembly included in an external emergency starting power supply, and the external load is an automobile battery or an automobile engine, when the external emergency starting power supply is correctly connected to the intelligent connection device 100 through the power connection terminal 20, and the external load is correctly connected to the load connection terminal 30, the external emergency starting power supply can start discharging output through the current output circuit 11 formed by the power connection terminal 20, the switch circuit 40, and the load connection terminal 30, that is, provide an emergency starting power supply for the automobile battery or the automobile engine, and here, the external emergency starting power supply can be understood as charging the automobile battery or the automobile engine, so that the automobile can be started when the automobile battery or the automobile engine is in a low power state.

Referring to fig. 1 again, the intelligent connection device 100 further includes a regulated power supply module 81 electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20, wherein the regulated power supply module 81 is configured to receive an input voltage of the battery assembly through the power connection terminal 20 and perform voltage conversion on the input voltage to output a stable voltage VCC, for example, a dc voltage of 5V, so as to provide a stable power supply voltage for each functional module of the intelligent connection device 100. For example, when an external emergency starting power supply is correctly connected to the intelligent connection device 100 through the power connection terminal 20, the regulated power supply module 81 can obtain the input voltage to normally operate, and output the regulated voltage VCC to supply power to each functional module inside the intelligent connection device 100, so that each functional module is powered on to normally operate. The regulated power supply module 81 may employ a DC-DC converter or a linear regulator, such as a low dropout regulator (LDO).

In this embodiment, the intelligent connection device 100 further includes a driving power module 43 electrically connected to the switch circuit 40, and the driving power module 43 is configured to provide driving power to the switch circuit 40, so that the switch circuit 40 is maintained in an energized and active state. In the present embodiment, the on-off state of the switch circuit 40 needs to be controlled when the switch circuit 40 is in the energized and active state, and when the switch circuit 40 is in the de-energized state, the switch circuit 40 is automatically turned off and disabled, and the on-off state cannot be controlled. It should be noted that reference herein to "disabling" of the switching circuit 40 means disabling the switching circuit 40 from responding to the associated signal, e.g. the drive signal, i.e. the switching circuit 40 is in an inactive state not controlled by the associated signal.

In one embodiment, the driving power module 43 is electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20, and the driving power of the switching circuit 40 is provided by a battery assembly electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the driving power supply module 43 may be electrically connected to the regulated power supply module 81, and the driving power supply of the switching circuit 40 is provided by the regulated voltage VCC output by the regulated power supply module 81.

The intelligent connection device 100 further includes a controller 70 electrically connected to the switch circuit 40, wherein the controller 70 is configured to output a driving signal relax _ EN2 to the switch circuit 40 to turn on the switch circuit 40 in an energized and active state, that is, the switch circuit 40 enters a conducting state when receiving the driving signal output by the controller 70, so that the battery assembly can be electrically connected to the external load and perform discharging output on the external load.

In this embodiment, the smart connection device 100 further includes a key control module 82 electrically connected to the controller 70, and the key control module 82 can receive a pressing operation of a user to generate a key command when in an active state, so as to force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2, thereby realizing the discharging output of the battery assembly to an external load.

It will be appreciated that the operating modes of the controller 70 may include an automatic output mode and a forced output mode. In one embodiment, the controller 70 defaults to an automatic output mode upon power-up. When the controller 70 is in the automatic output mode, the controller 70 outputs the driving signal relax _ EN2 when it is determined that the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30 and the voltage of the external load satisfies a preset condition. The controller 70 enters the forced output mode upon receiving the key command, and immediately outputs the driving signal relax _ EN2 in response to the key command. In one embodiment, the controller 70 resumes the automatic output mode after responding to the key command and outputting the driving signal relax _ EN 2.

In the present embodiment, the switching circuit 40 includes a switching device 41 and a switch driving module 42, wherein the switching device 41 is electrically connected between the power connection terminal 20 and the load connection terminal 30. In this embodiment, the switching device 41 is electrically connected between the power supply positive connection terminal BAT + and the load positive connection terminal CAR +. In other embodiments, the switching device 41 may be electrically connected between the power supply negative connection terminal BAT and the load negative connection terminal CAR. The switching device 41 may employ an electromagnetic relay or a semiconductor power device, such as a MOSFET. In the present embodiment, the switching device 41 employs an electromagnetic relay K1.

The switch driving module 42 is electrically connected between the switch device 41 and the controller 70, and the controller 70 is configured to send the driving signal relax _ EN2 to the switch driving module 42 to turn on the switch device 41 through the switch driving module 42.

In this embodiment, the intelligent connecting device 100 further includes a reverse connection detecting module 50 electrically connected to the load connecting terminal 30, and the reverse connection detecting module 50 is configured to detect an access state of the external load through the load connecting terminal 30 and output a corresponding control signal C _ EN according to a detection result. The control signal C _ EN comprises a first control signal and a second control signal.

In this embodiment, the reverse connection detection module 50 is further electrically connected to the key control module 82, and the reverse connection detection module 50 is further configured to send the control signal C _ EN to the key control module 82 to control an effective state of the key control module 82.

Specifically, the reverse connection detection module 50 outputs the first control signal when detecting that the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, and outputs the first control signal to the key control module 82, so as to switch the state of the key control module 82 to the disabled state. When the key control module 82 is in the failure state, the key instruction cannot be generated, so that the key control module 82 cannot be forced to receive and respond to the key instruction, and thus, a user cannot force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2 through the key control module 82, so that the switching circuit 40 is kept in the off state, and further, the electrical connection between the battery assembly and the external load is disconnected, that is, the current output loop 11 in which the battery assembly discharges to the external load is cut off, so as to prohibit the battery assembly from discharging to the external load.

The reverse connection detection module 50 is further configured to output the second control signal when detecting that the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded or the external load is being connected to the load connection terminal 30, and output the second control signal to the key control module 82 to switch the state of the key control module 82 to an active state, so as to allow a user to input the key instruction through the key control module 82 to control the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN 2.

Since the user can force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2 through the key control module 82, when the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, the state of the key control module 82 is switched to the failure state, and the user can be prohibited from inputting a key command to force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2, so that the battery pack is prohibited from discharging and outputting the external load, and thus, the power safety of the circuit can be ensured. In addition, the effective state of the key control module 82 is directly controlled by using the control signal output by the reverse connection detection module 50, so that the purposes of quickly responding to the first control signal corresponding to the reverse connection state of the external load and timely disconnecting the discharge output of the battery pack to the external load can be achieved.

The circuit structure and the operation principle of the reverse connection detection module 50 and the key control module 82 will be described with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the reverse connection detection module 50 is a combined switch circuit composed of transistors, and includes a first detection terminal 51, a second detection terminal 52, a driving voltage input terminal 53, a control signal output terminal 54, a first transistor Q3, a second transistor Q6, and a third transistor Q1. The first detection terminal 51 is electrically connected to the load positive connection terminal CAR + and the second detection terminal 52 is electrically connected to the load negative connection terminal CAR-, as described above, and the load negative connection terminal CAR-is also electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND. The driving voltage input terminal 53 is electrically connected to a voltage source VCC, and the reverse connection detection module 50 receives the driving voltage provided by the voltage source through the driving voltage input terminal 53, so that the reverse connection detection module 50 can work normally. Wherein the voltage source can be provided by a stabilized voltage VCC output from the stabilized voltage supply module 81 or by a battery assembly electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20. In this embodiment, the voltage source is provided by a regulated voltage VCC output by the regulated power supply module 81.

In this embodiment, the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected between the first detection terminal 51 and the control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6, and the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is also electrically connected to the second detection terminal 52. The second transistor Q6 is electrically connected between a second ground terminal GND (power reference ground, i.e. power negative connection terminal) and the control terminal 1 of the third transistor Q1, and the control terminal of the second transistor Q6 is also electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a resistor R21. The third transistor Q1 is electrically connected between the second ground GND and the control signal output terminal 54, and the control terminal 1 of the third transistor Q1 is also electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a resistor R11.

Specifically, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the second detection terminal 52 through a resistor R22, and is electrically connected to the first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3 through a resistor R4. The first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the first detection terminal 51 through a diode D1, wherein a cathode of the diode D1 is electrically connected to the first detection terminal 51, and an anode of the diode D1 is electrically connected to the first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3. The second connection 3 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 via a resistor R27. The control signal output terminal 54 is also electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a capacitor C6.

The first transistor Q3, the second transistor Q6, and the third transistor Q1 are transistors turned on at a high level, such as NMOS transistors or NPN transistors. In this embodiment, the first transistor Q3 is an NPN transistor, and the second transistor Q6 and the third transistor Q1 are NMOS transistors. It can be understood that the reverse connection detection module 50 implements a reverse connection detection function for the polarity of the external load by using a simple transistor (e.g., a diode, a triode, a field effect transistor) and a passive device (e.g., a resistor, a capacitor), so that the reverse connection state of the external load can be rapidly detected by using the characteristic that the transistor is fast in turning on and off, and the detection speed and effectiveness of the related protection function can be significantly improved.

In operation, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, that is, the positive electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load connection terminal CAR-, and the negative electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load connection terminal CAR +, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 receives a high level signal from the positive electrode of the external load, so that the first transistor Q3 is turned on. The control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 receives a low level signal by being electrically connected to the negative electrode of the external load through the turned-on first transistor Q3, turning off the second transistor Q6. The control terminal 1 of the third transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 and is in a high state, so that the third transistor Q1 is turned on, the control signal output terminal 54 is electrically connected to the second ground terminal GND through the turned-on third transistor Q1 and is in a low state, and at this time, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the first control signal, which is a low signal.

If the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded, or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, that is, the positive electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load positive connection terminal CAR +, and the negative electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load negative connection terminal CAR —, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND and receives a low level signal, so that the first transistor Q3 is turned off. The control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 is electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a resistor R21 to receive a high level signal, so that the second transistor Q6 is turned on. The control terminal 1 of the third transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the second ground terminal GND through the turned-on second transistor Q6 to be in a low level state, so that the third transistor Q1 is turned off, the control signal output terminal 54 is electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 to be in a high level state, and at this time, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, which is a high level signal.

Referring to fig. 4, in this embodiment, the controller 70 employs a microcontroller U2, the key control module 82 includes a key module S1 and a control switch Q8, the key module S1 is electrically connected between the control switch Q8 and the microcontroller U2, and the key module S1 is configured to receive a pressing operation of a user to generate a key instruction, where the key module S1 is in an active state and is capable of receiving the pressing operation of the user to generate the key instruction, and the key module S1 is in a failure state and is incapable of generating the key instruction.

In this embodiment, the key module S1 may be a mechanical physical key or a virtual key in the form of touch. The key module S1 allows a user to interact with the system of the smart connecting device 100 through physical or virtual touch keys.

The control terminal 1 of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50 through a resistor R26, so as to electrically connect the reverse connection detection module 50 to the key control module 82, and enable the reverse connection detection module 50 to output the control signal C _ EN (including the first control signal and the second control signal) to the control terminal 1 of the control switch Q8, so as to switch the on-off state of the control switch Q8, thereby controlling the active state of the key module S1.

In this embodiment, the control switch Q8 is a high-level conducting transistor, such as an NMOS transistor or an NPN transistor.

In operation, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the first control signal, wherein the first control signal is a low level signal, and the control switch Q8 enters the off state because its control terminal 1 receives the first control signal (low level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54. The pull-down ground loop of the key module S1 is cut off due to the control switch Q8 being turned off, so that the key module S1 remains in the disabled state, and no key command can be generated, and thus the controller 70 cannot receive and respond to the key command, and thus, the user cannot force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2 through the key module S1, and the switch circuit 40 is not turned on, so as to disconnect the electrical connection between the battery assembly and the external load, and prohibit the battery assembly from discharging and outputting the external load.

If the load connection terminal is empty or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, where the second control signal is a high level signal, and the control terminal 1 of the control switch Q8 enters a conducting state when receiving the second control signal (high level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54, so as to conduct the pull-down grounding loop of the key module S1, so that the key module S1 can be kept in an active state and can receive a pressing operation of a user to generate the key command. In this way, the user can force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2 through the key module S1, so that the battery pack discharges and outputs the external load.

It is to be understood that, in the present embodiment, the control switch Q8 is in a conducting state by default in the normal state, so that the key module S1 is maintained in the active state in the normal state, so as to receive a pressing operation of a user in real time, thereby controlling the output of the controller 70.

According to the intelligent connecting device 100 provided by the application, the combined switch circuit composed of the transistors is used as the reverse connection detection module, so that the reverse connection state of an external load can be rapidly detected by utilizing the characteristic that the on-off speed of the transistors is high; the effectiveness of the key control module is directly controlled by using the control signal output by the reverse connection detection module, so that a user is prohibited from inputting a key instruction to force the controller 70 to output the driving signal RELAY _ EN2 for turning on the switch circuit 40 when an external load is reversely connected, and the purposes of rapidly responding to the control signal corresponding to the reverse connection state of the external load and timely controlling the discharge output of the battery pack to the external load can be achieved. It can be seen that the intelligent connecting device provided by the application can obviously improve the detection speed and effectiveness of the related protection function, so that the safety and reliability of the power output control system can be obviously improved. In addition, the intelligent connecting device provided by the application has the advantages that the key devices are low in cost, the peripheral circuit is simple and reliable, the material cost of the product is reduced, and meanwhile, the cost of manpower and material resources after the product is sold is saved.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the reverse connection detection module 50 may also use a detection circuit formed by a sensing device, for example, a photoelectric coupler, to implement the reverse connection detection function for the external load.
