As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the battery pack A and a portable device such as a portable personal computer having a power source for charging the battery pack A and an electric device such as a device for driving a motor or the like. And an electronic device B. The battery pack A normally has a structure that is detachably attached to the electronic device B. The electronic device B is supplied with DC power output from an adapter (not shown) that converts AC commercial power from the outlet into DC power, and controls / powers the control / power supply unit with a built-in microcomputer S is provided. The power output from the control / power supply means S is used to charge the battery pack A or is supplied to the load L of the electronic device B. When there is no power supply from commercial power, there is no cord from the commercial power, the electronic device B can move, power is supplied from the battery pack A, and the control / power supply unit S and the load L are driven. In the present embodiment, in the battery pack A, since no switching element is interposed in the charge / discharge path 12, a large current can flow.

パック電池Aにおいては、リチウムイオン電池等の二次電池1と、電池1が、リチウムイオン2次電池の場合は、電子機器Bに電力供給するとき、約2000mAh/セル程度の電池セルを、2〜4セル直列にして利用される。また、セルを並列にも接続して、電池容量を増加させても良い。   In the battery pack A, a secondary battery 1 such as a lithium ion battery, and when the battery 1 is a lithium ion secondary battery, when power is supplied to the electronic device B, a battery cell of about 2000 mAh / cell is used. ~ 4 cells are used in series. Further, the battery capacity may be increased by connecting cells in parallel.

本実施例においては、電池1は図示されるように、電池セル1-1、1-2を直列接続して、複数の電池セルを直列接続している。このような電気接続においては、電池セルの正極、負極に平板状金属片であるタブをスポット溶接等により接続して、電気接続している。   In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the battery 1 has battery cells 1-1 and 1-2 connected in series, and a plurality of battery cells connected in series. In such electrical connection, tabs, which are flat metal pieces, are connected to the positive electrode and negative electrode of the battery cell by spot welding or the like, and are electrically connected.

過放電検出回路5−1は、電池セル1-1、1-2の端子電圧を監視し、放電時に端子電圧が、過放電電圧(例えば、3.2V/セル以下)となるとき(過放電状態)を検出して、過放電信号(例えば、ハイ電圧信号)を出力する。   The overdischarge detection circuit 5-1 monitors the terminal voltages of the battery cells 1-1 and 1-2, and when the terminal voltage becomes an overdischarge voltage (for example, 3.2 V / cell or less) during discharge (overdischarge) State) is detected and an overdischarge signal (for example, a high voltage signal) is output.

過充電検出回路6−1は、電池セル1-1、1-2の端子電圧を監視し、充電時に端子電圧が、過充電電圧(例えば、4.3V/セル以上)となるとき(過充電状態)を検出して、過充電信号(例えば、ハイ電圧信号)を出力する。   The overcharge detection circuit 6-1 monitors the terminal voltages of the battery cells 1-1 and 1-2, and when the terminal voltage becomes an overcharge voltage (for example, 4.3 V / cell or more) during charging (overcharge). State) is detected and an overcharge signal (for example, a high voltage signal) is output.

本実施例においては、図1に示す回路は、以下の構成を備えている。   In this embodiment, the circuit shown in FIG. 1 has the following configuration.

過放電検出回路5−1からの出力を、ゲートに接続したn型FETである過放電スイッチング素子5−2と、信号端子10との間に抵抗R2(例えば、1KΩ)を接続し、過放電スイッチング素子5−2のソース側を接地している。   An output from the overdischarge detection circuit 5-1 is connected to a resistor R2 (for example, 1 KΩ) between the overdischarge switching element 5-2, which is an n-type FET connected to the gate, and the signal terminal 10, and overdischarge is performed. The source side of the switching element 5-2 is grounded.

過充電検出回路6−1からの出力を、ゲートに接続したn型FETである過充電スイッチング素子6−2と、
電池出力線11との間に抵抗R3を接続し、過充電スイッチング素子6−2のソース側を接地している。また、過充電スイッチング素子6−2と並列に抵抗R4が接続され、過充電スイッチング素子6−2のドレインが、n型FETである第2過充電スイッチング素子6−3のゲートに接続されている。信号端子10との間に抵抗R1(例えば、4KΩ)を接続し、第2過充電スイッチング素子6−3のソース側を接地している。
An overcharge switching element 6-2 that is an n-type FET connected to the gate of the output from the overcharge detection circuit 6-1;
A resistor R3 is connected between the battery output line 11 and the source side of the overcharge switching element 6-2 is grounded. A resistor R4 is connected in parallel with the overcharge switching element 6-2, and the drain of the overcharge switching element 6-2 is connected to the gate of the second overcharge switching element 6-3, which is an n-type FET. . A resistor R1 (for example, 4 KΩ) is connected between the signal terminal 10 and the source side of the second overcharge switching element 6-3 is grounded.

電子機器Bにおいては、商用電力から供給される、または、電池1の出力から電源を作る内部電源部7(例えば、5V出力)を備え、抵抗R5(例えば、1KΩ)を介して、パック電池Aが電子機器Bに装着されるとき、信号端子10に、接続される。   The electronic device B includes an internal power supply unit 7 (for example, 5V output) that is supplied from commercial power or generates power from the output of the battery 1, and the battery pack A is connected via a resistor R5 (for example, 1KΩ). Is connected to the signal terminal 10 when attached to the electronic device B.

本実施例においては、以上の構成であるので、以下のように、検出、識別認識、出力することができる。   In the present embodiment, since the configuration is as described above, detection, identification recognition, and output can be performed as follows.

過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないとき、ハイ電圧信号が出力されないので、過放電スイッチング素子5−2がオフ状態であり、信号端子10より、抵抗R2に電流が流れない。また、過充電スイッチング素子6−2がオフ状態であり、電池出力線11からの電圧は、抵抗R3と抵抗R4に分圧される。分圧された電圧が、第2過充電スイッチング素子6−3のゲートに印加され、オン状態となることで、内部電源部7(5V)の電圧が、抵抗R5(1KΩ)と抵抗R1(4KΩ)に分圧され、信号端子10には、分圧電圧(4V)が出力され、この分圧電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aの過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないと状態であることを、検出、識別する。更に、このとき、抵抗R1(4KΩ)による分圧電圧(4V)であることを、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが、電子機器Bに適合するものであることが、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することができる。このとき、信号端子10の電圧が、4V、以下に説明するか過放電状態の2.2V、過充電状態の5V以外であるときは、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、パック電池が電子機器Bに適合しないものであるとして、パック電池を使用できないようにしたり、使用できないとの表示を行うことができる。   When an overdischarge state or an overcharge state is not detected, a high voltage signal is not output, so the overdischarge switching element 5-2 is in an off state, and no current flows from the signal terminal 10 to the resistor R2. Further, the overcharge switching element 6-2 is in the off state, and the voltage from the battery output line 11 is divided into the resistor R3 and the resistor R4. When the divided voltage is applied to the gate of the second overcharge switching element 6-3 and turned on, the voltage of the internal power supply unit 7 (5V) becomes the resistance R5 (1 KΩ) and the resistance R1 (4 KΩ). ), And a divided voltage (4 V) is output to the signal terminal 10. The control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B detects and identifies this divided voltage, thereby If an overdischarge state or an overcharge state is not detected, the state is detected and identified. Further, at this time, the fact that the battery pack A is suitable for the electronic device B by detecting and identifying that the divided voltage (4 V) is generated by the resistor R1 (4 KΩ) The control / power supply S can be detected and identified. At this time, when the voltage of the signal terminal 10 is other than 4V, 2.2V in the overdischarged state or 5V in the overcharged state as described below, the control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B is connected to the battery pack. The battery pack cannot be used or can be displayed as being unusable because it is not compatible with the electronic device B.

過放電状態が検出されたとき、過放電検出回路5−1は、過放電信号(ハイ電圧信号)を出力するので、過放電スイッチング素子5−2がオン状態であり、信号端子10より、抵抗R2に電流が流れることになり、上記の説明から理解できるように、R1とR2との並列抵抗値、即ち、(R1×R2)/(R1+R2)(0.8KΩ)と、R5との分圧電圧(2.2V)が出力され、この分圧電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが過放電状態であることを、検出、識別する。   When the overdischarge state is detected, the overdischarge detection circuit 5-1 outputs an overdischarge signal (high voltage signal). Therefore, the overdischarge switching element 5-2 is in an on state, and a resistance is applied from the signal terminal 10. As the current flows through R2, as can be understood from the above description, the parallel resistance value of R1 and R2, that is, (R1 × R2) / (R1 + R2) (0.8 KΩ), and the partial pressure of R5 A voltage (2.2 V) is output, and the divided voltage is detected and identified by the control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B, thereby detecting and identifying that the battery pack A is in an overdischarged state. .

過充電状態が検出されたとき、過充電検出回路6−1は、過充電信号(ハイ電圧信号)を出力するので、過充電スイッチング素子6−2がオン状態であり、過充電スイッチング素子6−2のドレインが接地電位となることで、第2過充電スイッチング素子6−3のゲートが低電圧となることにより、オフ状態となり、信号端子10より、抵抗R1に電流が流れず、上記の説明から理解できるように、抵抗R2にも電流が流れないことより、信号端子10には、内部電源部7(5V)の電圧が、印加、出力され、この電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが過充電状態であることを、検出、識別する。   When the overcharge state is detected, the overcharge detection circuit 6-1 outputs an overcharge signal (high voltage signal), so that the overcharge switching element 6-2 is in the on state, and the overcharge switching element 6-6. When the second drain becomes the ground potential, the gate of the second overcharge switching element 6-3 becomes a low voltage, thereby turning off, and no current flows from the signal terminal 10 to the resistor R1. As can be understood from the above, since no current flows through the resistor R2, the voltage of the internal power supply unit 7 (5V) is applied to and output from the signal terminal 10, and this voltage is used as a control / power supply for the electronic device B. The part S detects and identifies that the battery pack A is in an overcharged state.

また、以上の説明のように、過充電状態のときの信号端子10と接地との抵抗値は、大きな値(無限大)となり、過放電状態のときは、抵抗値は(R1×R2)/(R1+R2)(0.8KΩ)となるので、抵抗値は異なることになる。また、過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないとき(パック電池を識別するとき)の抵抗値は、抵抗R1(4KΩ)となり、更に、違う抵抗値となる。   Further, as described above, the resistance value between the signal terminal 10 and the ground in the overcharge state is a large value (infinite), and in the overdischarge state, the resistance value is (R1 × R2) / Since (R1 + R2) (0.8 KΩ), the resistance values are different. Further, the resistance value when the overdischarge state and the overcharge state are not detected (when the battery pack is identified) is the resistance R1 (4 KΩ), which is a different resistance value.

図2は、本発明の他の実施例を示し、図1と同一な内容は説明を省略し、異なる部分を、以下に説明する。   FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention, the description of the same contents as in FIG. 1 is omitted, and different parts will be described below.

過放電検出回路5−1からの出力を、ゲートに接続したn型FETである過放電スイッチング素子15−2と、信号端子10との間に抵抗R12(例えば、1KΩ)を接続し、過放電スイッチング素子5−2のソース側を接地している。   The output from the overdischarge detection circuit 5-1 is connected to a resistor R12 (for example, 1 KΩ) between the overdischarge switching element 15-2, which is an n-type FET connected to the gate, and the signal terminal 10, and overdischarge is performed. The source side of the switching element 5-2 is grounded.

過充電検出回路6−1からの出力を、ゲートに接続したn型FETである過充電スイッチング素子16−2を備え、この過充電スイッチング素子16−2のドレインを信号端子10に接続し、ソース側を接地している。   An output from the overcharge detection circuit 6-1 is provided with an overcharge switching element 16-2, which is an n-type FET connected to the gate, and the drain of the overcharge switching element 16-2 is connected to the signal terminal 10, and the source The side is grounded.

また、信号端子10は、抵抗R10(例えば、4KΩ)を介して、接地されている。   The signal terminal 10 is grounded via a resistor R10 (for example, 4 KΩ).

本実施例においては、以上の構成であるので、以下のように、検出、識別認識、出力することができる。   In the present embodiment, since the configuration is as described above, detection, identification recognition, and output can be performed as follows.

過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないとき、ハイ電圧信号が出力されないので、過放電スイッチング素子15−2がオフ状態であり、信号端子10より、抵抗R2に電流が流れない。また、過充電スイッチング素子16−2がオフ状態であり、ここを電流を流れない。そして、内部電源部7(5V)の電圧が、抵抗R5(1KΩ)と抵抗R10(4KΩ)に分圧され、信号端子10には、分圧電圧(4V)が出力され、この分圧電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aの過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないと状態であることを、検出、識別する。更に、このとき、抵抗R10(4KΩ)による分圧電圧(4V)であることを、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが、電子機器Bに適合するものであることが、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することができる。このとき、信号端子10の電圧が、4V、以下に説明するか過放電状態の2.2V、過充電状態の5V以外であるときは、電子機器Bの制御・電源
部Sが、パック電池が電子機器Bに適合しないものであるとして、パック電池を使用できないようにしたり、使用できないとの表示を行うことができる。
When the overdischarge state and the overcharge state are not detected, the high voltage signal is not output, so the overdischarge switching element 15-2 is in the off state, and no current flows from the signal terminal 10 to the resistor R2. Moreover, the overcharge switching element 16-2 is in an OFF state, and no current flows therethrough. The voltage of the internal power supply unit 7 (5 V) is divided into a resistor R5 (1 KΩ) and a resistor R10 (4 KΩ), and a divided voltage (4 V) is output to the signal terminal 10. Then, the control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B detects and identifies the state where the overdischarge state and the overcharge state of the battery pack A are not detected by detecting and identifying. Further, at this time, the fact that the battery pack A is suitable for the electronic device B by detecting and identifying the divided voltage (4V) by the resistor R10 (4KΩ) The control / power supply S can be detected and identified. At this time, when the voltage of the signal terminal 10 is other than 4V, 2.2V in the overdischarged state or 5V in the overcharged state as described below, the control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B is connected to the battery pack. The battery pack cannot be used or can be displayed as being unusable because it is not compatible with the electronic device B.

過放電状態が検出されたとき、過放電検出回路15−1は、過放電信号(ハイ電圧信号)を出力するので、過放電スイッチング素子15−2がオン状態であり、信号端子10より、抵抗R2に電流が流れることになり、上記の説明から理解できるように、R10とR12との並列抵抗値、即ち、(R10×R12)/(R10+R12)(0.8KΩ)と、R5との分圧電圧(2.2V)が出力され、この分圧電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが過放電状態であることを、検出、識別する。   When the overdischarge state is detected, the overdischarge detection circuit 15-1 outputs an overdischarge signal (high voltage signal), so that the overdischarge switching element 15-2 is in an on state, and a resistance is applied from the signal terminal 10. As the current flows through R2, as can be understood from the above description, the parallel resistance value of R10 and R12, that is, (R10 × R12) / (R10 + R12) (0.8 KΩ), and the partial pressure of R5 A voltage (2.2 V) is output, and the divided voltage is detected and identified by the control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B, thereby detecting and identifying that the battery pack A is in an overdischarged state. .

過充電状態が検出されたとき、過充電検出回路16−1は、過充電信号(ハイ電圧信号)を出力するので、過充電スイッチング素子16−2がオン状態であり、信号端子10は、接地となり、0Vとなる。この電圧を、電子機器Bの制御・電源部Sが、検出、識別することにより、パック電池Aが過充電状態であることを、検出、識別する。   When the overcharge state is detected, the overcharge detection circuit 16-1 outputs an overcharge signal (high voltage signal), so that the overcharge switching element 16-2 is in the on state and the signal terminal 10 is connected to the ground. And becomes 0V. The control / power supply unit S of the electronic device B detects and identifies this voltage to detect and identify that the battery pack A is in an overcharged state.

また、以上の説明のように、過充電状態のときの信号端子10と接地との抵抗値は、約OΩとなり、過放電状態のときは、抵抗値は(R10×R12)/(R10+R12)(0.8KΩ)となるので、抵抗値は異なることになる。また、過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないとき(パック電池を識別するとき)の抵抗値は、抵抗R1(4KΩ)となり、更に、違う抵抗値となる。   Further, as described above, the resistance value between the signal terminal 10 and the ground in the overcharge state is approximately OΩ, and in the overdischarge state, the resistance value is (R10 × R12) / (R10 + R12) ( 0.8KΩ), the resistance value is different. Further, the resistance value when the overdischarge state and the overcharge state are not detected (when the battery pack is identified) is the resistance R1 (4 KΩ), which is a different resistance value.

本他の実施例は、上記の図1の実施例と比較すると、過放電状態、過充電状態が検出されないとき、抵抗に電流が流れない(図1において、抵抗R3、抵抗R4に電流が流れる)ので、省エネルギーな回路である。   Compared with the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above, when the overdischarge state and the overcharge state are not detected, no current flows through the resistor in the other embodiments (in FIG. 1, no current flows through the resistor R3 and the resistor R4). Therefore, it is an energy-saving circuit.
