Description

本発明は、複数の二次電池を直列に接続した二次電池ブロックと制御回路から構成される二次電池パックに関し、特に二次電池のブロック毎の電圧バランス調整機能を有する二次電池パックに関する。   The present invention relates to a secondary battery pack including a secondary battery block in which a plurality of secondary batteries are connected in series and a control circuit, and more particularly to a secondary battery pack having a voltage balance adjustment function for each block of the secondary battery. .

リチウムイオン電池等の二次電池では、近年、電動機器や蓄電等の分野に用途が拡大してきており、高電圧対応のための多直化の要求が増えている。また、同時に長期信頼性、安全性の確保や長寿命化などへの高い要求がある。電池パックを単電池を複数個直列に接続して構成する際、信頼性、安全性、寿命の観点からも、理想的にはすべての各構成電池が寿命に至るまで、充放電動作や保存において均一に電圧が推移し、均一に性能が劣化することが望まれるが、現実的には電池単体の性能や劣化のバラツキ等があるため、電圧のバランスが崩れる場合がある。この対策の一つとして、一般的には各構成電池の電圧をモニタし、充電途中に各構成電池間の電圧バランス調整を行う方法がとられている。また、特許文献1には各電池の電圧を検出して、充電途中あるいは充電完了後に電圧の高い電池だけを放電するバランス放電を行い、電圧の低い電池に他の電池より多い充電電流を供給してバランス充電を行う充電方法が示されている。   In recent years, secondary batteries such as lithium-ion batteries have been used in fields such as electric devices and power storage, and demands for multiplicity for high voltage are increasing. At the same time, there is a high demand for ensuring long-term reliability, safety and extending the service life. When configuring a battery pack by connecting multiple cells in series, from the viewpoint of reliability, safety, and life, ideally, in each charge / discharge operation and storage until each component battery reaches the end of its life. Although it is desired that the voltage changes uniformly and the performance deteriorates uniformly, in reality, there is a case where the balance of the voltage is lost due to variations in the performance of the battery alone or the deterioration. As one of countermeasures, generally, a method is adopted in which the voltage of each constituent battery is monitored and the voltage balance between the constituent batteries is adjusted during charging. Further, Patent Document 1 detects the voltage of each battery, performs balance discharge in which only a battery having a high voltage is discharged during or after charging, and supplies a charging current higher than that of other batteries to a battery having a low voltage. A charging method for performing balanced charging is shown.

しかし、上記電圧バランス調整回路による多直化への対応においては、回路の高集積化や電子部品の定格電圧等の都合により、パソコン用電池パック向け等に開発された一般的なアナログICやカスタム開発された専用IC等をベースとして複数の電池からなるブロック単位で調整・制御回路が構成される場合があり、この場合、ブロック内の構成電池間の電圧バランス調整がなされても、回路構成部品の消費電流のバラツキにより、ブロック間の電圧バランスが崩れるという問題がある。   However, in response to the increase in the number of voltage balance adjustment circuits described above, general analog ICs developed for personal computer battery packs, etc. due to the high integration of circuits and the rated voltages of electronic components, etc. The adjustment / control circuit may be configured in units of blocks consisting of multiple batteries based on the developed dedicated IC, etc. In this case, even if the voltage balance between the constituent batteries in the block is adjusted, the circuit components There is a problem that the voltage balance between the blocks is lost due to the variation in current consumption.

In FIG. 1, the secondary battery block 14 formed by connecting a plurality of unit blocks 12 configured by connecting a plurality of secondary batteries 11 in series and the charge / discharge current of the secondary battery block 14 are monitored.

The battery adjustment unit 23 having a function, the unit block balance unit 24 arranged for each unit block 12 and having the function of adjusting the voltage balance between the unit blocks 12, and the battery adjustment unit 23 and the unit block balance unit 24 are controlled. It comprises a slave control unit 25 and a master control unit 27 that controls the slave control unit 25 to control the entire secondary battery block 14. In this state, the secondary battery block 14 is formed by connecting a plurality of composite blocks 13 formed by connecting a plurality of unit blocks 12 in series, and is arranged for each composite block 13 by the master controller 27. A composite block balance unit 26 having a function of adjusting the voltage balance between the composite blocks 13 by control is provided. Moreover, the temperature detection part 22 which monitors the temperature of the secondary battery block 14, and charge SW31 and discharge SW32 which perform ON / OFF operation by control of the master control part 27 are provided.

本実施の形態において、スレーブ制御部25は電池調整部23からの二次電池の電圧情報及びマスタ制御部27からの制御情報により電圧調整部23及び単位ブロックバランス部24の制御を行い、当該複合ブロック内の二次電池11の電圧情報をマスタ制御部27に出力する機能を有し、マスタ制御部27は電流検出部21、温度検出部22及びスレーブ制御部25からの電流、温度、電圧情報を元に複合ブロックバランス部26及びスレーブ制御部25を制御する機能を有する。   In the present embodiment, the slave control unit 25 controls the voltage adjustment unit 23 and the unit block balance unit 24 based on the voltage information of the secondary battery from the battery adjustment unit 23 and the control information from the master control unit 27, and The master control unit 27 has a function of outputting voltage information of the secondary battery 11 in the block to the master control unit 27.

And a function of controlling the composite block balance unit 26 and the slave control unit 25 based on the above.

次に、本実施の形態の二次電池パックにおける動作モードについて説明する。   Next, an operation mode in the secondary battery pack of the present embodiment will be described.

図1に示される二次電池パックにおいて、まず、第1の動作モードにおいては、充電中に電池調整部23によりモニタされる電圧情報がスレーブ制御部25を経由しマスタ制御部27に伝えられる。マスタ制御部27は電流検出部21より伝えられる電流情報を元に充電状態と判定した場合、スレーブ制御部25からの電圧情報を元に単位ブロック12間及び複合ブロック13間の電圧バランス状態を検証し、単位または複合ブロック単位での電圧の最小値と最大値の電圧差が規定の電圧範囲以上となると当該ブロック単位での電圧バランス調整が必要と判断し、該当するスレーブ制御部25を介して単位ブロックバランス部24を制御し、又は複合ブロックバランス部26を制御し、単位ブロック間又は複合ブロック間の電圧バランス調整を開始する。   In the secondary battery pack shown in FIG. 1, first, in the first operation mode, voltage information monitored by the battery adjustment unit 23 during charging is transmitted to the master control unit 27 via the slave control unit 25. When the master control unit 27 determines that the charging state is based on the current information transmitted from the current detection unit 21, the voltage balance state between the unit blocks 12 and between the composite blocks 13 is verified based on the voltage information from the slave control unit 25. When the voltage difference between the minimum value and the maximum value of the voltage in the unit or the composite block unit exceeds the specified voltage range, it is determined that the voltage balance adjustment in the block unit is necessary, and the corresponding slave control unit 25 is used. The unit block balance unit 24 is controlled or the composite block balance unit 26 is controlled to start voltage balance adjustment between unit blocks or composite blocks.

上記電圧バランス調整はマスタ制御部27により同期制御が行われる。すなわち、規定された電圧調整期間に電圧バランスを調整し、規定された電圧モニタ期間に電圧を監視する動作を繰り返し、マスタ制御部27がブロック単位での電圧調整を不要と判断するまで、または、電圧、電流、積算容量のいずれか1つの値、又は複数の値が予め規定された充電状態を示す値に達するまで上記の電圧調整動作を継続する。マスタ制御部27により判断される上記のブロック単位での電圧バランス調整要否判定の最小値と最大値の電圧差の規定値レベルとしては例えば数十〜数百mVに設定することができる。また、マスタ制御部27により同期制御が行われる電圧調整期間と電圧モニタ期間の規定値としては例えば数十〜数百secに設定することができる。また、ブロック間電圧バランス調整を停止する判定条件の一つとなる規定の充電状態を示す値としては、例えば満充電到達前で70%〜90%の充電量の領域に相当する電圧、電流又は容量の値を設定することができる。   The voltage balance adjustment is controlled synchronously by the master control unit 27. That is, the voltage balance is adjusted during the specified voltage adjustment period, and the operation of monitoring the voltage is repeated during the specified voltage monitoring period, until the master control unit 27 determines that the voltage adjustment in units of blocks is unnecessary, or The voltage adjustment operation described above is continued until one of the voltage, current, integrated capacity, or a plurality of values reach a value indicating a predetermined charging state. The specified value level of the voltage difference between the minimum value and the maximum value in the voltage balance adjustment necessity determination for each block determined by the master control unit 27 can be set to several tens to several hundred mV, for example. Further, the specified value of the voltage adjustment period and the voltage monitoring period in which the synchronous control is performed by the master control unit 27 can be set to several tens to several hundreds seconds, for example. In addition, as a value indicating a specified charging state that is one of the determination conditions for stopping the voltage balance adjustment between blocks, for example, a voltage, current, or capacity corresponding to a charge amount region of 70% to 90% before reaching full charge Can be set.

次に、第2の動作モードにおいては、マスタ制御部27が前記電圧情報や電流情報をもとに満充電と判断し充電SW31をOFFし充電動作を停止すると、マスタ制御部27はスレーブ制御部25からの電圧情報を元に単位ブロック12内の二次電池11間の電圧バランス状態を検証し、二次電池11間の電圧の最小値と最大値の電圧差が規定の電圧範囲以上となると二次電池11間の電圧バランス調整が必要と判断し、スレーブ制御部25へ電圧バランス調整を指示する。スレーブ制御部25はマスタ制御部27からの電圧バランス調整指示を受けると電池調整部23を制御し、該当する二次電池11の電圧調整を開始する。   Next, in the second operation mode, when the master control unit 27 determines that the battery is fully charged based on the voltage information and current information and turns off the charging SW 31 to stop the charging operation, the master control unit 27 stops the slave control unit. 25, the voltage balance state between the secondary batteries 11 in the unit block 12 is verified based on the voltage information from 25, and when the voltage difference between the minimum value and the maximum value of the voltage between the secondary batteries 11 exceeds the specified voltage range. It is determined that the voltage balance adjustment between the secondary batteries 11 is necessary, and the slave control unit 25 is instructed to adjust the voltage balance. When receiving the voltage balance adjustment instruction from the master control unit 27, the slave control unit 25 controls the battery adjustment unit 23 and starts voltage adjustment of the corresponding secondary battery 11.

スレーブ制御部25による電圧バランス調整は、規定された電圧調整期間に電圧バランスを調整し、規定された電圧モニタ期間に電圧を監視する動作を繰り返し、マスタ制御部27が二次電池11間の電圧調整を不要と判断するまで、または、電流検出部21からの電流情報により放電状態と判断するまで上記の電圧調整動作を継続する。マスタ制御部27により判断される二次電池11間の電圧バランス調整要否判定の電圧差の規定値レベルとしては例えば数十mVに設定することができる。また、スレーブ制御部25により制御が行われる電圧調整期間と電圧モニタ期間の規定値としては例えば数十〜数百secに設定することができる。   The voltage balance adjustment by the slave control unit 25 adjusts the voltage balance during the specified voltage adjustment period and repeats the operation of monitoring the voltage during the specified voltage monitoring period. The voltage adjustment operation described above is continued until it is determined that adjustment is not necessary or until it is determined that the battery is in a discharge state based on current information from the current detection unit 21. The specified value level of the voltage difference for determining whether or not the voltage balance adjustment between the secondary batteries 11 is determined by the master control unit 27 can be set to several tens mV, for example. Further, the specified value of the voltage adjustment period and the voltage monitoring period controlled by the slave control unit 25 can be set to several tens to several hundreds seconds, for example.

ここで、マスタ制御部27やスレーブ制御部25は温度検出部22からの二次電池ブロック14の温度情報を元に前記電圧調整期間と電圧モニタ期間を調整制御してもよい。また、マスタ制御部27とスレーブ制御部25の制御範囲としては、マスタ制御部27が全ての判定制御を行う形でも、スレーブ制御部25がマスタ制御部27の指示により単位ブロック12の範囲内での制御を分担した制御形態でもよい。また、電圧バランスの調整の対象となる二次電池は比較対象の最大電圧を保有する二次電池のみを調整する制御でも、規定値を越えたもの全てを対象とする制御でもよい。   Here, the master control unit 27 and the slave control unit 25 may adjust and control the voltage adjustment period and the voltage monitoring period based on the temperature information of the secondary battery block 14 from the temperature detection unit 22. In addition, the control range of the master control unit 27 and the slave control unit 25 is within the range of the unit block 12 by the instruction of the master control unit 27 even if the master control unit 27 performs all determination control. A control form in which the control is shared may be used. Further, the secondary battery that is subject to voltage balance adjustment may be control for adjusting only the secondary battery having the maximum voltage to be compared, or control for all batteries that exceed the specified value.

また、マスタ制御部27及びスレーブ制御部25は、対象ブロック又は二次電池11間の電圧バランス調整要否の判断を行う電圧差の規定値レベルを、複合ブロック13間の最小電圧と最大電圧との差を規定する電圧値をVf、単位ブロック12間の最小電圧と最大電圧との差を規定する電圧値をVu、二次電池11間の最小電圧と最大電圧との差を規定する電圧値をVd、としたとき、Vd≦Vu≦Vfの関係で設定して制御してもよい。   In addition, the master control unit 27 and the slave control unit 25 set the specified value level of the voltage difference for determining whether or not the voltage balance adjustment between the target block or the secondary battery 11 is necessary, as the minimum voltage and the maximum voltage between the composite blocks 13. The voltage value that defines the difference between the secondary battery 11 is Vf, the voltage value that defines the difference between the minimum voltage and the maximum voltage between the unit blocks 12 is Vu, and the voltage value that defines the difference between the minimum voltage and the maximum voltage between the secondary batteries 11 May be set and controlled in a relationship of Vd ≦ Vu ≦ Vf.

以上のように、充電中に単位ブロックまたは複合ブロック単位での電圧バランス調整を行い、満充電による充電停止後に単位ブロック内の二次電池間の電圧バランス調整を行うことにより、単位ブロックや複合ブロック単位での電圧バランス及び二次電池単位での電圧バランス、および二次電池ブロック全体での電圧バランスが得られる。   As described above, the voltage balance is adjusted for each unit block or compound block during charging, and the voltage balance is adjusted between the secondary batteries in the unit block after charging is stopped due to full charge. A voltage balance in units, a voltage balance in units of secondary batteries, and a voltage balance in the entire secondary battery block are obtained.

なお、本発明は上記実施の形態に限定されるものではないことは言うまでもなく、例えば二次電池ブロックは単位ブロックのみから構成し、複合ブロックを設けなくても良い。   Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the secondary battery block is composed of only unit blocks, and the composite block may not be provided.
