Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a starter key input structure, and more particularly, to a starter key input structure in which a starter key is configured to be supplied to a controller of a vehicle by closing a main relay when the starter key is turned on by a driver, Input structure.
The contents described in this section merely provide background information on the embodiment of the present invention and do not constitute the prior art.
The ignition key is a very important input means in the vehicle. When the driver operates the ignition key by inserting and turning the ignition key, a signal is input to the vehicle. This signal may cause a large voltage disturbance. In this case, a TVS diode is used to protect the internal input circuit, Voltage to a voltage that the input circuit can tolerate.
At this time, if a large current is generated in the TVS diode, there is a risk of burnout. Therefore, when the TVS diode is operated using a series resistance, the TVS diode is protected through current limitation.
The engine controller receives the battery power from the output of the main relay to reduce the dark current when the vehicle is turned off.
If the vehicle is turned off, the engine controller is not supplied with battery power because the main relay is in the open state. If the driver turns on the ignition key, the engine controller must operate, I can not work because there is not. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the ignition key is used at the same time as the input and the power source.
That is, when a voltage equal to or higher than a predetermined voltage is input to the starter key input of the engine controller, the main relay control circuit of the engine controller operates, and the main relay is closed so that the battery power is supplied to the engine controller.
In order to perform such a series of processes, an input of a current for controlling the main relay occurs with a start key input. Since a normal input circuit does not have a current input, a series resistor may be used as a protection circuit using the above-described TVS diode in an input circuit. However, if a current input occurs as a start key input, A voltage drop due to the voltage drop occurs.
This voltage drop does not affect if the voltage input to the ignition key is sufficiently higher than the threshold value, but if the ignition key input voltage is near the threshold value, the voltage drop will cause the ignition key input voltage to fall between the threshold values It is possible to cause the above and below values to repeatedly occur.
For example, if the threshold is 6V and the initial input voltage of the starter key is 6.1V and the voltage dropped by the main relay operating current is 5.9V, then the initial engine controller is turned off by the 6.1V starter key input to the engine controller And when a current input for operating the main relay occurs, the ignition key voltage falls to 5.9 V and the engine controller is turned off.
In this case, since the starting current of the ignition key disappears, the ignition key voltage becomes 6.1 V, which causes the engine controller to be turned on again, and the above process is repeated.
An aspect of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for controlling an engine by repeating on / off operations of an engine controller by inputting a start key by adding a current source to a start key input structure And to provide a starter key input structure that can prevent the starter key.

The voltage dividing
The way in which the engine controller of a vehicle receives battery power is usually divided into two types, one being supplied directly from the battery power source and the other being supplied via a relay.
The present embodiment can be applied to a method of being supplied through a main relay. That is, the present embodiment is an input structure that can be applied to a starter key input structure in which a main relay is interposed between an engine controller and a battery power source. In a vehicle having such a starter
When the driver turns off the ignition key, the main relay is opened to disconnect the battery voltage from the engine controller. Since the engine controller and the battery voltage are disconnected in the state that the ignition key is turned off, the flow of the dark current can be cut off and the battery can be prevented from being discharged.

This starter keystroke structure can not meet the requirements of the user requiring a starter key voltage (VIG) higher than 3V. The startup
