Definitions
- the invention relates to a quick charging unit for charging mobile capacitors according to the preamble of the claim
- Mobile capacitors are those that are not permanently connected to a power grid or the like and therefore have to be charged regularly at charging stations. Typically, these are capacitors that are used in electrically operated vehicles, tools or other applications Capacitors are also referred to as “capacitors to be charged”.
- “Stationary or charging capacitors” refer to charged capacitors made available in a charging station, to which the mobile capacitors are temporarily connected for charging.
- the term “relay” also includes improper relays, such as semiconductor relays or other current- or voltage-controlled switches, such as solenoids or IGBTs.
- capacitors also includes all energy stores in which electrical energy is stored physically rather than chemically, that is to say, to put it simply, in an electrostatic field between two plates.
- the capacitors therefore also include so-called supercapacitors, ultracapacitors, lithium-ion Supercapacitors, hybrid capacitors and the like, as well as possibly future energy-storing components based on the principle of a capacitor.
- Resistors or inductors are currently used to limit the current in the above configuration, which is known to lead to losses. This is a disadvantage of the known methods of charging capacitors. Compared to capacitors connected in parallel, capacitors connected in series enable higher voltages and thus larger amounts of electrical energy to be transmitted. Capacitors to be charged should therefore be charged in series.
- assemblies of capacitors must have so-called active or passive "balancing", which is necessary so that all cells or capacitors of a compound firstly have the same voltage and secondly no cells above their maximum permissible, specified nominal voltage Balancing is necessary because typically individual, series-connected capacitors (can) have different internal resistances and thus different voltages during a loading process, which could individually lead to damage if the specified maximum voltage is exceeded.
- active or passive balancing
- the physical properties of the respective affected components limit the speed or the amount of energy per time that can be transferred.
- the invention is based on the object of eliminating the disadvantages mentioned.
- FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a charging unit
- FIG. 2 shows diagrams of the charging current
- the charging capacitor network has a significantly larger total capacitance, a higher maximum voltage, and thus a certain oversizing
- the network of stationary capacitors has a significantly larger total capacity than the network of mobile capacitors.
- the network of stationary capacitors can be operated with a smaller, equal or greater number of capacitors compared to the number of capacitors in the mobile network. Ideally, however, it has a larger number, namely 50% to 100% more than the network of mobile capacitors. If this is not the case, it makes sense to switch the mobile capacitors all the more to parallel for charging.
- the stationary capacitors in the present device do not have significantly more capacitance than the mobile capacitors, it can arise, especially if the equalization of the voltages of the stationary capacitors by omitting an intermediate step of parallel switching to equalize that certain stationary capacitors, those which are taken first for the energy transfer, are discharged so much and in further steps first completely discharged and then change the polarity, i.e. are negatively charged, which has three effects: The latter no longer contribute to the charging process because they can no longer give off any energy, they are negatively charged, so they belong to the capacitors to be charged, which makes the charging process more inefficient, and they can be damaged by the polarity change.
- a stationary capacitor itself can consist of several capacitors connected in parallel. Between individual charging phases or charging pulses during the process of charging mobile capacitors with stationary capacitors, both should be switched in parallel for a moment so that they can "network internally” equalize. If this does not happen on the side of the stationary capacitors, are the equalizing currents after the charging process possibly like this big that they exceed the specifications.
- the circuit diagram shown in the figure shows a charging unit in the state in which mobile capacitors are not being charged.
- the charging unit comprises seven capacitors CI to C7 and relays RI to R7 assigned to them.
- the relays are of the type Double Pole Double Throw “DPDT" 1 ("two contacts, two states"), for example OMRON G5V-2 or Finders 40.52.
- DPDT Double Pole Double Throw
- All relays R1-R7 are in the switching position in which the positive poles of the capacitors are connected to one another via a line LI and their negative poles are connected to one another via a line L2.
- the capacitors are connected in parallel via the lines LI and L2, as well as via the relays R1-R7.
- the control connections of the relays are each connected to a power supply B via switches S1 to S7 and a line L3.
- the control connections of the relays are also connected to one another via diodes D1 to D6.
- the capacitors to be charged are not shown in the figure. They are connected to the connection socket Jl.
- the connection socket Jl is also used to connect the charging unit to a power source for charging the capacitors C1-C7.
- the capacitors C1-C7 are interconnected in such a way that they can be arranged in the manner of a stack by actuating the switches S1 to S7, Cl being the lowest capacitor of the stack and being connected first to the connection socket J1 for charging mobile capacitors .
- a further relay R8 is arranged between the relay RI and the connecting socket Jl, which is used to connect the charging unit to the connecting socket Jl or to disconnect between them.
- the diodes D1 to D6 have the following function: If one of the switches S1 to S7 is actuated, it must be ensured that, together with the corresponding relay, all the "underlying" relays are actuated simultaneously. If, for example, S3 is actuated, the diodes D2 and Dl ensure that not only relay R3 but also relays R2 and Rl are activated. This is essential, as otherwise the various capacitors would be guaranteed to be damaged. In this illustrative example, if only R3 were activated, the situation would be:
- Capacitors measures the voltage and forwards this to the control electronics, which interrupts the charging process, i.e. ends as soon as the maximum permissible value is reached, or optionally continues in a parallel configuration of the stationary AND mobile capacitors (see excursus),
- switch S8 is released, then switch S1 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- switch S2 is pressed and the mobile capacitors are switched to serial.
- switch S8 is pressed; now the two capacitors 1 and 2 connected in series charge the mobile capacitors.
- switch S8 is released, then switch S2 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- switch S8 is released, then switch S3 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- switch S4 is pressed and the mobile capacitors are switched to serial.
- switch S8 is pressed; now the serially connected capacitors 1, 2, 3 and 4 charge the mobile capacitors.
- switch S8 is released, then switch S4 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- switch S5 is pressed and the mobile capacitors are switched to serial.
- switch S8 is released, then switch S5 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- switch S6 is pressed and the mobile capacitors are switched to serial.
- switch S8 If the voltage on the mobile capacitors reaches the maximum permissible voltage, or if the current falls below a certain value, switch S8 is released, then switch S6 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- the switch S8 is released, then the switch S7 is released and the mobile capacitors are switched from serial to parallel.
- the mobile capacitors are switched to serial.
- a single sub-step should therefore cover the area shown in the diagram in FIG.
- the device always works in the optimal range; maximum currents are never exceeded and the charging time is minimized.
- the diodes Dl to D6 are used to simultaneously activate all the relays required, which switch the capacitor in question plus the "underlying" ones.
- the network of mobile capacitors consists of five capacitors. However, it can also consist of a group of several sub-groups of multiples of capacitors, which can be connected partly in parallel and partly in series for charging.
- stationary capacitors there are many solutions for charging the stationary capacitors, such as switching power supplies or DC / DC converters (dc / dc step up or step down converters, aka buck converters).
- a network of stationary capacitors consists of so many capacitors that, if they are connected in series, they have a maximum total nominal voltage of, for example, 240 volts
- a rectifier can also be used between the mains supply and stationary capacitors, with access to the mains current at least as high It must be able to deliver a lot of electricity, as the stationary capacitors can maximally absorb, which is given by the total internal resistance of all affected components including the stationary capacitors.
- the voltage applied to the stationary capacitors increases constantly, while the flowing current decreases constantly.
- "logical three-pole relays" are useful for better monitoring and optimal management, but they do not have to be used.
- a model prototype was implemented to test the function of the invention. It consists of a stationary unit with stationary capacitors and a remote-controlled model car from the Carrera F150 brand.
- the stationary unit contains seven supercapacitors from the SPSCAP brand with 3kF each, the model car contains five supercapacitors from the SPSCAP brand with 150F each.
- the mobile capacitors are firmly soldered and connected in series.
- the stationary capacitors are connected analogously to the circuit diagram shown in the figure; For the sake of simplicity, only seven capacitors are shown in the circuit diagram.
- the manufacturer Carrera also supplies a rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride battery and recommends charging the battery for 90 minutes in order to be able to drive for 20 minutes.
- the electronics of the model car were not changed in any way, except that those of the mobile capacitors were soldered onto the two feeding contacts, which originally came from the Ni-MH battery, and a switch was attached between them. This means that the model car can also be used in the original configuration. Test series confirm the manufacturer's information regarding charging time (90 minutes) and driving time (20 minutes).
- a step-up DC / DC converter is used between the mobile capacitors and the electronics of the model car, which increases the voltage to 20 volts. Then a step-down DC / DC converter was used, which delivers 6 volts.
- a switch was installed between the DC / DC converters and the electronics of the model car.
- the test series showed that the model car powered by the capacitors drives 5 minutes with a charging time of 20 seconds. This efficiency was achieved without any particular optimization of the capacitive supply being undertaken. This means that the ratio of charging time to service life for capacitor operation is a comparison factor more than 65 better than for battery operation. With appropriate optimization, the comparison factor with supercapacitors currently available on the market could easily be doubled.
