Description

本発明は、バッテリ(蓄電池)の劣化状態や残留容量などを検知するバッテリ状態検知ユニットに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a battery state detection unit that detects a deterioration state or a residual capacity of a battery (storage battery).

バッテリの劣化状態を検知する手段としては、バッテリの端子間に放電電流を流して、そのときの端子間電圧及び放電電流を検出し、検出した電圧及び電流の値からバッテリの内部インピーダンスを算出し、得られた内部インピーダンスの値からバッテリの状態を判定する方法が一般的である。この場合、バッテリの内部インピーダンスはバッテリの温度の影響を受けるため、バッテリの温度を検出して内部インピーダンスを補正するようにしている(特許文献1、2参照)。   As a means of detecting the deterioration state of the battery, a discharge current is passed between the terminals of the battery, the voltage between the terminals and the discharge current at that time are detected, and the internal impedance of the battery is calculated from the detected voltage and current values. A general method is to determine the state of the battery from the obtained value of the internal impedance. In this case, since the internal impedance of the battery is affected by the temperature of the battery, the internal impedance is corrected by detecting the temperature of the battery (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

従来のこの種のバッテリ状態検知ユニットは、バッテリから離れた場所に設置されていた。またバッテリの温度検出は温度センサをバッテリのケース側面に貼り付けること等により行われていた。   The conventional battery state detection unit of this type has been installed at a location away from the battery. The temperature of the battery is detected by attaching a temperature sensor to the side surface of the battery case.

バッテリの内部インピーダンスは非常に小さく、新品で数mΩ程度、ある程度劣化しても数十〜数百mΩ程度しかなく、高い測定精度が要求される。しかしバッテリ状態検知ユニットがバッテリから離れた場所に設置されていると、検知ユニットとバッテリ間をつなぐ導体が長くなって、導体抵抗や外部の影響を受けやすくなるため、測定精度を高めることが困難である。また温度センサをバッテリのケース側面に貼り付けて温度を検出する方式では、バッテリの周囲の温度変化の影響を受けやすく、バッテリの温度を正確に測定することが困難である。   The internal impedance of the battery is very small, about several mΩ for a new product, and only about several tens to several hundreds mΩ even if it deteriorates to some extent, and high measurement accuracy is required. However, if the battery status detection unit is installed at a location away from the battery, the conductor connecting the detection unit and the battery becomes longer, making it more susceptible to conductor resistance and external influences, making it difficult to improve measurement accuracy. It is. Further, the method of detecting the temperature by attaching the temperature sensor to the side surface of the battery case is easily affected by the temperature change around the battery, and it is difficult to accurately measure the temperature of the battery.

本発明の目的は、バッテリの端子間電圧、放電電流、温度をより正確に検出できるバッテリ状態検知ユニットを提供することにある。   The objective of this invention is providing the battery state detection unit which can detect the voltage between terminals of a battery, a discharge current, and temperature more correctly.

It is possible to detect the voltage between terminals of the battery and the discharge current more accurately by reducing the influence of the drop.

〔実施形態1〕 図1〜図3は本発明の一実施形態を示す。図において、10は自動車等に搭載されたバッテリ、12は本発明に係るバッテリ状態検知ユニットである。この検知ユニット12は、プリント回路基板14を収納した筐体16を備えている。筐体16の両側面にはブラケット18が突設されており、検知ユニット12は、このブラケット18をバッテリ10側のブラケット20にボルトナット等により固定することにより、バッテリ10に組み付けられるようになっている。なお、バッテリ側ブラケット20がバッテリ10に直接設けることができない場合には、バッテリ10をケース等に収納し、そのケースにブラケットを設け、図1に示すような取付状態となるようにしてもよい。 Embodiment 1 FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a battery mounted on an automobile or the like, and 12 is a battery state detection unit according to the present invention. The detection unit 12 includes a housing 16 that houses a printed circuit board 14. Brackets 18 project from both side surfaces of the casing 16, and the detection unit 12 can be assembled to the battery 10 by fixing the bracket 18 to the bracket 20 on the battery 10 side with bolts and nuts. ing. In addition, when the battery side bracket 20 cannot be directly provided in the battery 10, the battery 10 may be accommodated in a case or the like, and a bracket may be provided in the case so as to be in an attached state as shown in FIG. .

また筐体16の上部からはバッテリ10のプラス端子22Aとマイナス端子22Bに向けて一対のバスバー24A、24Bが突出している。バスバー24A、24Bの内端は筐体16内で、図3に示すように回路基板14の接続端子部26A、26Bに接続されている。接続端子部26A、26Bは厚肉の金属板などからなり、回路基板14に予め半田付け等により固定されている。バスバー24A、24Bの外端は、図1に示すように筐体16をバッテリ10に組み付けた状態で、ボルトナット28により端子22A、22Bの頂部に締め付け接続されている。なお端子22A、22Bは、この実施形態の場合、図2に示すようにΠ形に折り曲げられた厚肉の金属板で構成されている。また端子22A、22Bには、発電機や負荷につながる導体も接続されているが図示を省略してある。   A pair of bus bars 24A and 24B protrude from the upper portion of the housing 16 toward the plus terminal 22A and the minus terminal 22B of the battery 10. The inner ends of the bus bars 24A and 24B are connected to the connection terminal portions 26A and 26B of the circuit board 14 as shown in FIG. The connection terminal portions 26A and 26B are made of a thick metal plate or the like, and are fixed to the circuit board 14 by soldering or the like in advance. As shown in FIG. 1, the outer ends of the bus bars 24 </ b> A and 24 </ b> B are clamped and connected to the tops of the terminals 22 </ b> A and 22 </ b> B by bolts and nuts 28 with the housing 16 assembled to the battery 10. In the case of this embodiment, the terminals 22A and 22B are formed of thick metal plates bent in a bowl shape as shown in FIG. The terminals 22A and 22B are also connected to a generator and a conductor connected to a load, but are not shown.

回路基板14には各種電子部品30が実装され、図3に示すような内部インピーダンス測定回路が構成されている。図3において、32はトランジスタ等のスイッチング素子34とシャント抵抗R1、R2で構成される放電回路、36はスイッチング素子34を所定の周波数でオンオフする放電制御部、38はバッテリのプラス端子22Aの電圧(端子間電圧)を検出する電圧検出部、40は放電回路32の電流を検出する電流検出部である。42は、電圧検出部38で検出した電圧と電流検出部40で検出した電流とをそれぞれオペアンプ44、46を介して入力して、バッテリ10の内部インピーダンスを計算する演算部である。放電制御部36及び演算部42はCPU48の機能の一部として構成されている。 Various electronic components 30 are mounted on the circuit board 14 to form an internal impedance measuring circuit as shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, 32 is a discharge circuit comprising a switching element 34 such as a transistor and shunt resistors R 1 and R 2 , 36 is a discharge control unit for turning on and off the switching element 34 at a predetermined frequency, and 38 is a positive terminal 22A of the battery. The voltage detector 40 detects the voltage (voltage between terminals), and 40 is a current detector that detects the current of the discharge circuit 32. Reference numeral 42 denotes an arithmetic unit that calculates the internal impedance of the battery 10 by inputting the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit 38 and the current detected by the current detection unit 40 through operational amplifiers 44 and 46, respectively. The discharge control unit 36 and the calculation unit 42 are configured as part of the function of the CPU 48.

このバッテリ状態検知ユニット12はバッテリ10に組み付けられるように構成されているため、バスバー24A、24Bの長さを十分短く(100mm以下に)できる。バッテリの内部インピーダンスを正確に測定するためには、バッテリの端子22A、22Bから回路基板の接続端子部26A、26Bまでの抵抗値(接触抵抗を含む)を2mΩ以下にすることが好ましい。厚さ2mm、幅25mm程度の銅製のバスバーを使用すれば、上記の抵抗値を2mΩ以下にすることが可能である。   Since the battery state detection unit 12 is configured to be assembled to the battery 10, the length of the bus bars 24A and 24B can be made sufficiently short (less than 100 mm). In order to accurately measure the internal impedance of the battery, the resistance value (including the contact resistance) from the battery terminals 22A and 22B to the connection terminal portions 26A and 26B of the circuit board is preferably 2 mΩ or less. If a copper bus bar having a thickness of about 2 mm and a width of about 25 mm is used, the above resistance value can be reduced to 2 mΩ or less.

放電回路32は回路基板14の接続端子部26A、26B間に最短に配置される。これにより回路基板14上の配線抵抗を極力減少させる。好ましくは接続端子部26A、26B間の間隔を200mm以下とする。   The discharge circuit 32 is arranged in the shortest distance between the connection terminal portions 26A and 26B of the circuit board 14. Thereby, the wiring resistance on the circuit board 14 is reduced as much as possible. Preferably, the interval between the connection terminal portions 26A and 26B is set to 200 mm or less.

放電回路32、電圧測定回路(電圧検出部38及びオペアンプ44を含む)、電流測定回路(電流検出部40及びオペアンプ46を含む)、CPU48、その他の周辺回路の電源とグランドは、前記接続端子部26A、26Bの一点で接続する。これは次の理由による。内部インピーダンス測定時には放電回路32に大きな電流を流す。例えば10A流したとすると、導体抵抗が2mΩの場合、20mVの電圧降下が発生してしまう。もし、放電回路32の電流が流れる経路に電圧検出部38が接続されていたとすると、電圧測定回路はこの電圧降下の影響を受けてしまい、バッテリ10の応答電圧を正確に測定することができなくなる。マイナス側も同じで、もし、放電回路32の電流が流れる経路にCPU48や電圧測定回路のグランド側が接続されていたとすると、上記の電圧降下の影響を受けてしまい、バッテリ10の応答電圧を正確に測定することができなくなる。上記のように一点で接続することで、内部インピーダンス測定時の放電電流による電圧降下の影響を排除できる。   The power supply and ground of the discharge circuit 32, the voltage measurement circuit (including the voltage detection unit 38 and the operational amplifier 44), the current measurement circuit (including the current detection unit 40 and the operational amplifier 46), the CPU 48, and other peripheral circuits are connected to the connection terminal unit. 26A and 26B are connected at one point. This is due to the following reason. When measuring the internal impedance, a large current is passed through the discharge circuit 32. For example, if a current of 10 A is applied, a voltage drop of 20 mV occurs when the conductor resistance is 2 mΩ. If the voltage detection unit 38 is connected to the path through which the current of the discharge circuit 32 flows, the voltage measurement circuit is affected by this voltage drop and cannot accurately measure the response voltage of the battery 10. . The negative side is the same, and if the ground side of the CPU 48 or the voltage measurement circuit is connected to the path through which the current of the discharge circuit 32 flows, it is affected by the voltage drop described above, and the response voltage of the battery 10 is accurately set. It becomes impossible to measure. By connecting at one point as described above, it is possible to eliminate the influence of the voltage drop due to the discharge current when measuring internal impedance.

ところで、バッテリの内部インピーダンスはバッテリの温度によっても大きく影響されるので、上記のようにして測定した内部インピーダンスは温度による補正が必要である。バッテリの温度を精度よく測定するには、バッテリの内部に温度センサを入れることが望ましい。しかしこの方法は、コストや製造方法を考えると現実的ではない。そこで、この実施形態では、バッテリ10の端子22Bに温度センサ50を接触させて端子22Bの温度を測定するようにした。バッテリの端子はバッテリ内部の極板と熱伝導性の良好な導体でつながっているため、端子の温度はバッテリの内部の温度と正確に対応している。したがってバッテリの端子の温度を測定すれば、バッテリ内部の温度を精度よく測定することができる。図4に一例を示す。この例で示すとおり、バッテリ内部の温度とバッテリの端子(マイナス端子)の温度は精度よく一致している。なお、状態検知ユニット内部の温度は、内部の半導体素子などの発熱の影響があるため、環境温度より高い値を示している。   Incidentally, since the internal impedance of the battery is greatly influenced by the temperature of the battery, the internal impedance measured as described above needs to be corrected by the temperature. In order to accurately measure the temperature of the battery, it is desirable to put a temperature sensor inside the battery. However, this method is not practical considering the cost and manufacturing method. Therefore, in this embodiment, the temperature sensor 50 is brought into contact with the terminal 22B of the battery 10 to measure the temperature of the terminal 22B. Since the terminal of the battery is connected to the electrode plate inside the battery with a conductor having good thermal conductivity, the temperature of the terminal accurately corresponds to the temperature inside the battery. Therefore, if the temperature of the battery terminal is measured, the temperature inside the battery can be accurately measured. An example is shown in FIG. As shown in this example, the temperature inside the battery and the temperature of the battery terminal (minus terminal) coincide with each other with high accuracy. Note that the temperature inside the state detection unit is higher than the environmental temperature because of the influence of heat generation from the internal semiconductor elements.

バッテリの端子22Bの温度を測定するため、筐体16の端子22Bと対向する位置には凸部52が形成され、この中に温度センサ50が設置されている。凸部52は筒状で、筐体16をバッテリ10に組み付けたときに、先端が端子22Bに接触するように形成されている。温度センサ50は、端子22Bに直接接触させてもよいが、図2に示すように、凸部52内に熱伝導性のよい樹脂54を充填して、温度センサ50を樹脂54で封止し、樹脂54を介して端子22Bに間接的に接触させてもよい。樹脂54で封止した方が温度センサ50の保護が確実であり、伝熱面積も大きくとれる。熱伝導性のよい樹脂54としては例えばエポキシ樹脂を使用することができる。また温度センサ50としては、チップ内に温度センサやオペアンプが集積されたCMOS温度センサIC(セイコーインスツルメンツ株式会社のS-8110C/8120Cシリーズ等)を使用することができる。また凸部52の周壁は肉厚を厚くして断熱性をもたせ、温度センサ50が外界の温度変化の影響を受けないようにすることが好ましい。   In order to measure the temperature of the battery terminal 22B, a convex portion 52 is formed at a position facing the terminal 22B of the housing 16, and the temperature sensor 50 is installed therein. The convex portion 52 has a cylindrical shape and is formed so that the tip contacts the terminal 22B when the housing 16 is assembled to the battery 10. The temperature sensor 50 may be in direct contact with the terminal 22B. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the convex portion 52 is filled with a resin 54 having good thermal conductivity, and the temperature sensor 50 is sealed with the resin 54. Alternatively, the terminal 22B may be indirectly contacted through the resin 54. Sealing with the resin 54 ensures the protection of the temperature sensor 50 and increases the heat transfer area. As the resin 54 with good thermal conductivity, for example, an epoxy resin can be used. As the temperature sensor 50, a CMOS temperature sensor IC (such as S-8110C / 8120C series manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc.) in which a temperature sensor and an operational amplifier are integrated in a chip can be used. Moreover, it is preferable that the peripheral wall of the convex part 52 is made thick to provide heat insulation so that the temperature sensor 50 is not affected by the temperature change of the outside world.

温度センサ50で検出されたバッテリの温度は演算部42に入力され、算出された内部インピーダンスの温度補正の処理が行われる。この実施形態では、バッテリの温度を高精度で検出できるので、バッテリの内部インピーダンスの正確な温度補正を行うことができる。温度補正後のバッテリの内部インピーダンス(バッテリの状態)は図示しない表示部に表示される。   The temperature of the battery detected by the temperature sensor 50 is input to the calculation unit 42, and a temperature correction process for the calculated internal impedance is performed. In this embodiment, since the temperature of the battery can be detected with high accuracy, accurate temperature correction of the internal impedance of the battery can be performed. The internal impedance (battery state) of the battery after temperature correction is displayed on a display unit (not shown).

〔実施形態2〕 図5は本発明の他の実施形態を示す。このバッテリ状態検知ユニット12は、筐体16の端子22Bと対向する位置に凸部52を設けて、凸部52内に温度センサ50を設置する点では実施形態1と同様であるが、凸部52が、バッテリの端子22Bに押し付ける方向に伸縮性のあるゴムで形成されている点が実施形態1と異なる。筐体16をバッテリ10に組み付ける前の凸部52の筐体16表面からの突出寸法P(図5(A)参照)は、筐体16をバッテリ10に組み付けた後の筐体16と端子22Bの間隔Q(同(B)参照)よりも大きく設定されている。 Embodiment 2 FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The battery state detection unit 12 is similar to the first embodiment in that the convex portion 52 is provided at a position facing the terminal 22B of the housing 16 and the temperature sensor 50 is installed in the convex portion 52. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that 52 is formed of elastic rubber in a direction to be pressed against the battery terminal 22B. The projecting dimension P from the surface of the casing 16 before the casing 16 is assembled to the battery 10 (see FIG. 5A) is the same as the casing 16 and the terminal 22B after the casing 16 is assembled to the battery 10. Is set to be larger than the interval Q (see (B)).

このようにすると、筐体16をバッテリ10に組み付けたときに、凸部52が軸線方向に圧縮され、ゴムの弾性反発力で凸部52の先端面が端子22Bの表面に押し付けられるようになる。このため、凸部52の先端面と端子22Bの表面との間に空気層ができなくなり、端子22Bから温度センサ50へ伝熱性がよくなって、端子22Bの温度をより正確に検出することができる。   In this way, when the housing 16 is assembled to the battery 10, the convex portion 52 is compressed in the axial direction, and the tip surface of the convex portion 52 is pressed against the surface of the terminal 22B by the elastic repulsive force of rubber. . For this reason, an air layer is not formed between the front end surface of the convex portion 52 and the surface of the terminal 22B, heat transfer from the terminal 22B to the temperature sensor 50 is improved, and the temperature of the terminal 22B can be detected more accurately. it can.

上記以外の構成は実施形態1と同じであるので、同一部分には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。   Since the configuration other than the above is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

〔実施形態3〕 図6は本発明のさらに他の実施形態を示す。このバッテリ状態検知ユニット12は、筐体16の、バッテリ10のケース56と対向する面の面央部に、凹部58を設け、この凹部58内に温度センサ50を設置したものである。温度センサ50は、バッテリのケース56に直接接触させてもよいが、図示のように、凹部58内に熱伝導性のよい樹脂54を充填して、温度センサ50を樹脂54で封止し、樹脂54を介してバッテリのケース56に間接的に接触させてもよい。樹脂54で封止した方が温度センサ50の保護が確実であり、伝熱面積も大きくとれる。また、筐体10の内部には前記凹部58を囲むように肉厚の断熱壁60が設けられている。これは温度センサ50が検知ユニット12内の温度変化の影響を受けないようにするためである。 Embodiment 3 FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. In the battery state detection unit 12, a recess 58 is provided in the center of the surface of the housing 16 facing the case 56 of the battery 10, and the temperature sensor 50 is installed in the recess 58. Although the temperature sensor 50 may be in direct contact with the battery case 56, as shown in the drawing, the recess 58 is filled with a resin 54 having good thermal conductivity, and the temperature sensor 50 is sealed with the resin 54. The battery case 56 may be indirectly contacted via the resin 54. Sealing with the resin 54 ensures the protection of the temperature sensor 50 and increases the heat transfer area. A thick heat insulating wall 60 is provided inside the housing 10 so as to surround the recess 58. This is to prevent the temperature sensor 50 from being affected by temperature changes in the detection unit 12.

バッテリ10に筐体16を組み付けると、バッテリケース56の筐体16と対向する面は、放熱性が低下し、外界の温度変化の影響を受けにくくなるので、この面の温度(特に面央部の温度)はバッテリ10の内部の温度と比較的よく対応している。したがってバッテリケース56の筐体16と対向する面の温度を測定すれば、バッテリ内部の温度を比較的精度よく測定することができる。上記以外の構成は実施形態1と同じであるので、同一部分には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。   When the housing 16 is assembled to the battery 10, the surface of the battery case 56 facing the housing 16 has reduced heat dissipation and is less susceptible to the influence of external temperature changes. Corresponds to the temperature inside the battery 10 relatively well. Therefore, if the temperature of the surface of the battery case 56 facing the housing 16 is measured, the temperature inside the battery can be measured with relatively high accuracy. Since the configuration other than the above is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

〔その他の実施形態〕 図7は本発明のさらに他の実施形態を示す。このバッテリ状態検知ユニット12は、温度センサ50をバスバー24B(又は24A)に接触させて、バスバー24Bの温度を検出するようにしたものである。バスバー24Bはバッテリの端子22Bに接続されているため、バッテリの端子22Bに近い温度になる。したがってバスバー24Bの温度を測定することによってもバッテリ内部の温度を比較的精度よく測定することができる。上記以外の構成は実施形態1と同じであるので、同一部分には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。   Other Embodiments FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. The battery state detection unit 12 detects the temperature of the bus bar 24B by bringing the temperature sensor 50 into contact with the bus bar 24B (or 24A). Since the bus bar 24B is connected to the battery terminal 22B, the temperature is close to the battery terminal 22B. Therefore, the temperature inside the battery can also be measured with relatively high accuracy by measuring the temperature of the bus bar 24B. Since the configuration other than the above is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

なお温度センサ50をバスバー24Bに接触させる位置は、図示のように筐体16の中でもよいし、筐体16の外でもよい。また温度センサ50を回路基板14の接続端子部26B(又は26A)に接触又は近傍に配置して、接続端子部26Bの温度を検出してもよい。   The position where the temperature sensor 50 is brought into contact with the bus bar 24 </ b> B may be inside the housing 16 as shown or outside the housing 16. Further, the temperature sensor 50 may be disposed in contact with or near the connection terminal portion 26B (or 26A) of the circuit board 14 to detect the temperature of the connection terminal portion 26B.

以上の実施形態は、バッテリの端子が金属板製で、温度センサを接触させる平面部を有する場合であるが、バッテリの端子が円柱状である場合には、バッテリ状態検知ユニットをバッテリの上に組み付ける構成として、温度センサをバッテリの端子の上端面に接触させるようにするとよい。   The above embodiment is a case where the battery terminal is made of a metal plate and has a flat portion that contacts the temperature sensor. However, when the battery terminal is cylindrical, the battery state detection unit is placed on the battery. As a structure to be assembled, the temperature sensor may be brought into contact with the upper end surface of the battery terminal.
