Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a capacity of a battery with high accuracy. SOLUTION: A measuring error of battery capacity resulting from an offset error of a current sensor 2 is reduced by obtaining an offset error of the current sensor 2 which does not depend on the application mode of a load 7 of a battery 5 with a detected current accumulating means 31 for substantially obtaining only the accumulated value element of the offset error of the current sensor 2, through accumulation during the period up to the full-charging of this time from the preceding full-charging of the battery 5 by paying attention to the fact that the charging amount is identical to the discharging amount during above period and a divide means 32 for calculating the offset error, by dividing the detected current accumulated value with the length of above period and by also obtaining an accurate charging/discharging current of the battery 5 with a compensation means 33 for reducing the offset of the detected current of the current sensor 2 with such offset error.

2. Description of the Related Art A battery mounted on a vehicle is used as a power source for a starter of an engine and other auxiliary devices, and is appropriately charged by a generator operated by the power of an internal combustion engine. The battery capacity measuring device obtains the current capacity of the battery, and the generator is controlled based on the detected battery capacity. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-351166 discloses that when the battery is near full charge, the adjustment voltage is lowered to prevent overcharging and to enable power generation with low fuel consumption, and when the capacity is insufficient, the adjustment voltage is increased. A technique has been disclosed in which a proper capacity according to the power consumption of a load is ensured at low fuel consumption by preventing overdischarge by preventing the battery from being deteriorated due to overcharge and overdischarge. Here, the battery capacity is calculated based on the integrated value of the charge / discharge current of the battery obtained by the current sensor.

In calculating battery capacity from the integrated value of battery charge / discharge current, the detection accuracy of the current sensor is important. In particular, if an offset error is included in the detected current value, the offset error is integrated when calculating the current battery capacity, so that it is difficult to properly perform battery charge control. This offset error can generally be obtained by detecting the current when the circuit is open.However, in a vehicle, even when the engine is stopped, auxiliary equipment such as a clock is in a power supply state, so the circuit must be completely open and It is difficult to detect the current. Therefore, there is a method of estimating a dark current when the engine is stopped in advance and obtaining an offset error by excluding the estimated dark current.

Therefore, the integrated value of the detected current integrated during the period from the previous full charge to the current full charge includes only the offset error component of the current sensor. By dividing the detected current integrated value by the length of the period, which is the integration period, an offset error can be obtained without being affected by the usage form of the battery load such as the engine starter and the like, and accurate charging and discharging of the battery can be achieved. You can know the current. Thus, the battery capacity can be measured with high accuracy.

Next, the detection current I meas of the current sensor
Is corrected by the offset error I offset to obtain the battery charge / discharge current I. FIG. 3 shows the calculated S in a conventional device using the detection current of the current sensor as it is as the battery charging / discharging current without correction.
This shows how the calculated value of the SOC changes from the initial value of 100% in accordance with the change over time of the OC, according to the integrated value of the detection current of the current sensor 2. Point A is a point in time when the battery is charged and becomes fully charged again. Here, the state of the battery is such that the same amount of discharge and charging is performed during the period from the previous full charge to the current full charge. It has returned to the same state as the previous fully charged state. Therefore, if the current sensor indicates the true value of the battery current, the SOC becomes 100% again as shown in the figure.

[0033] However, if the current sensor has a positive offset error I offset1, calculated SOC is shifted to the positive side as shown by integrating this offset error I offset1 (S
OC1). This shift is caused by the offset error I during the time T1 from the previous full charge to the current (point A) full charge.
Since it is the ratio of the integrated value of offset1 to the capacity C of the battery, it can be expressed as in equation (6). SOC1-100 (%) = T1 * I offset1 / C * 100 (%) (6)

式(7)のように表せる。 SOC2 −100(%)=T1 ×Ioffset2 /C×100(%)・・・(7)
The current sensor has a negative offset error I
If there is offset2, calculated SOC is shifted to the negative side as shown by integrating this offset error I offset2 (SO

As described above, the same amount of charge as the discharge is performed from the time of the previous full charge to the time of the full charge this time, and the state of the battery is restored to the same state as in the previous full charge state. Therefore, of the detected current integrated value, the actual discharge component and charge component cancel each other. Therefore, the above T1 ×
I offset1 and T1 × I offset2 are equal to the integrated value of the detection current I meas from the previous full charge to the current full charge. Thus, by dividing the detected current integrated value Q by the above expression (4) by the length T of the period from the last full charge to the current full charge, which is the integration period, the use form of the load 7 can be determined. The offset error I offset is obtained without being affected. Then, according to equation (5), the offset error I offset
, The detection current I meas is corrected so that the accurate battery charge / discharge current I is known, so that the SOC can be measured with high accuracy.
