Power stabilization device for vehicles {POWER STABILIZING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES}

The present invention relates to a power stabilization device for vehicles. More specifically, in order to stably supply power from the vehicle battery to each of various electronic devices installed in the vehicle, power is distributed to a plurality of channels and voltage for each channel is adjusted. A vehicle power supply that detects surge protection, overvoltage protection, low voltage protection, automatic power transfer, and delay functions to stably supply power to each electronic device installed in each channel, thereby enabling stable operation of the electronic devices. It's about stabilization devices.

Typically, a vehicle is equipped with a battery that supplies power at all times, and a generator that is driven by the battery and supplies power to various electrical devices such as indoor and outdoor lamps, instruments, and air conditioners of the vehicle. When starting the vehicle, the vehicle's battery rotates the starter motor to drive the engine, and a generator connected to the engine and a fan belt generates electricity to charge the battery. Also, in the case of electric vehicles, a high-capacity battery is used to drive the motor to drive the vehicle.

Recently, there has been a rapid increase in the change from regular buses, which are internal combustion engine vehicles, to environmentally friendly electric buses. In the case of these general buses and electric buses, the number of electronic devices with various functions that consume power within the vehicle is increasing. Accordingly, there are frequent cases where electronic devices installed in the vehicle are affected due to a phenomenon such as initial start-up or a power surge other than a constant voltage in certain situations.

However, since there are no or few terminals inside the current electric bus to which the increasing number of electronic devices can be connected, electronic devices are being installed through direct connection to the battery. This increases the complexity of the power connection, damages the wiring and devices within the bus due to overvoltage, raises the possibility of fire due to a short circuit in the wiring connection area, and makes maintenance management inconvenient.

For example, electric buses are continuing to spread among the current bus fleet, and the proportion of Chinese imported vehicles among domestic electric buses continues to increase. Currently, multiple domestic bus suppliers and Chinese bus suppliers are supplying electric buses in Korea, but various electronic devices installed on electric buses, such as video recording devices, terminals and modems for transportation card payment, and arrival information LEDs Panels, CCTV, etc. are installed on each vehicle by a separate mechanic or individual business operator after the vehicle is shipped. However, unlike internal combustion engine vehicles, electric buses do not have a fuse box, so electronic devices are installed by connecting power directly from the vehicle's battery. Electronic equipment companies are different, installation times are different, and it is difficult to connect power directly from the battery, so the initially connected wiring is difficult. It is currently being installed as a bridge. If this causes poor contact in the power wiring, it is very dangerous because it can lead to a vehicle fire or breakdown.

In particular, in the case of most electric buses made in China, there is only one port that supplies power to the electronic devices installed inside the vehicle, so when additional electronic devices are installed, the power is used by bridging. In this case, the wiring for power supply may be touched and bridged, which may cause unstable power supply, unstable operation of electronic devices, risk of fire, etc. This may cause accidents while driving the electric bus. there is.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 3.

Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration for power supply to a vehicle equipped with a power stabilization device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the vehicle 2 of the present invention is equipped with, for example, a regular bus, an electric bus, etc., and a plurality of electronic devices installed inside the vehicle 2 from the battery 10 to provide various functions. A power stabilization device 100 is provided to supply stable power to the devices 200.

Here, the electronic device 200 includes, for example, a destination LED display board installed inside the bus vehicle 2, a route information electronic signboard, a bus monitor device, an empty seat display device, a video recording device (DVR, NVR), a transportation card payment terminal, It may include communication devices for transportation card payment, arrival information LED devices, CCTV cameras, rear sensors, navigation, black boxes, driver assistance systems (ADAS), etc.

In general, a vehicle 2 such as an internal combustion engine bus or electric bus uses an alternator (or motor) 20 and a battery 10 to control all electrical devices of the vehicle 2 (e.g., lamps, instruments, and air conditioners). etc.) or supply power to electronic devices 200. That is, the general internal combustion engine vehicle 2 supplies power using an alternator 20 and a battery 10, and the electric vehicle 2 uses a high-voltage battery 10 and a motor 20. Supply power.

And the power stabilization device 100 stably supplies power from the battery 10 of the vehicle 2 to the electronic devices 200, and for stable operation of the electronic devices 200, one electronic device ( 200 forms a plurality of channels that are electrically connected, and power to the electronic device 200 is distributed and supplied through each channel.

That is, the vehicle power stabilization device 100 according to the present invention is designed to solve the problem of overloading the battery 10 due to simultaneous power supply to a plurality of electronic devices 200 when starting the vehicle. A plurality of channels are formed to distribute power supply to each of the devices 200, a delay time is set for each channel, and power is supplied by controlling the electronic devices 200 to start up according to the set order.

In general, when the ignition key 30 of the general bus or electric bus 2 is activated, power is supplied from the battery 10 to all electronic devices 200 at the same time, resulting in an irregular power supply state, which causes the electronic devices (200) becomes unstable. Accordingly, the power stabilization device 100 detects the voltage of each of the plurality of channels and controls to supply power sequentially according to the delay time set for each channel.

Therefore, the vehicle power stabilization device 100 of the present invention can stably supply power from the battery 10 to the electronic devices 200 mounted on each channel and enable stable operation of the electronic devices.

In addition, the vehicle power stabilization device 100 of the present invention, in addition to power stabilization, allows connection to ports (connectors) without touching the wiring when connecting an additional electronic device 200 to the vehicle 2, thereby preventing electrical accidents such as fire. can be prevented.

Specifically, the function and operation of the power stabilization device according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the power stabilization device shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing the configuration of the switching voltage conversion circuit shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing the configuration of the power stabilization device shown in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram showing the configuration of the power stabilization device installed on the bus.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the power stabilization device 100 of the present invention forms a plurality of channels to stably supply power to various electronic devices (200 in FIG. 1) installed inside the vehicle, and the channels It detects each voltage and sets a delay time for each channel to sequentially supply power to each channel from the battery according to the set delay time.

At this time, the power stabilization device 100 distributes the power supplied from the battery 10 to prevent overload of the various electronic devices 200 according to the amount of power consumed by each of the electronic devices 200 installed in each channel. supplies power to

For this purpose, the power stabilization device 100 includes a control unit 102, a plurality of fuses 110 to 114, an automatic transfer circuit 120, a DC/DC converter 130, a plurality of delay circuits 140, 142, and a plurality of It includes connectors 150 to 154.

Specifically, connectors 150 to 154 are installed in each of the plurality of channels and are provided to electrically connect each of the various electronic devices 200. Each of the connectors 150 to 154 supplies power from the battery 10 to the electronic device 200 mounted on each channel. The connectors 150 to 154 are provided to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the electronic devices 200, and may be added to expand the channel to enable installation of additional electronic devices 20.

If the power supplied to each channel from the battery 10 is a surge, overvoltage, or overcurrent, the fuses 110 to 114 are blown to prevent damage to the electronic device 200 due to this, thereby blocking the power supply to each channel. These fuses 110 to 114 may be provided in a fuse box.

The automatic switching circuit 120 automatically switches power to be supplied through another channel if a failure occurs in a specific channel while supplying power from the battery 10. In other words, the automatic transfer circuit 120 ensures that if a failure due to a circuit, connector, etc. occurs in a specific channel during power supply, power is always applied to electronic devices with essential or important functions for the operation of the vehicle 2. Switch the channel to another normal channel. Therefore, by forming some channels in parallel and connecting them through the automatic switching circuit 120, it is possible to prevent power supply to important electronic devices from being cut off when a failure occurs in the corresponding channel.

The delay circuits 140 and 142 are controlled by the control unit 102 and open and close each channel according to a set delay time. If the power supplied from the battery 10 is low voltage, the delay circuits 140 and 142 open and close the channel according to the set delay time. The delay circuits 140 and 142 are opened and closed to sequentially supply power according to the delay time set by the control unit 102. Here, the delay time is set to minimize the load on the battery 10 that occurs as power is supplied to all electronic devices 200 at the same time when starting the vehicle, and through this, the power of the electronic devices 200 is sequentially increased. Supply can be controlled. Therefore, the delay circuits 140 and 142, for example, when the control unit 102 detects the ACC power of the ignition key 30, temporarily cuts off power to channels except for important electronic devices before the generator or motor operation. A delay time can be set, thereby preventing unnecessary discharge of the battery 10.

When power is supplied from the battery 10, the DC/DC converter 130 converts the voltage into a voltage appropriate for the load level of each electronic device 200 of the corresponding channel and outputs it. The DC/DC converter 130 is, for example, a high-efficiency buck-boost converter. The DC/DC converter 130 supplies power from the converted voltage from one channel to each of the plurality of branched sub-channels.

Specifically, the DC/DC converter 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided as a buck-boost converter, and as shown in FIG. 3, the input terminal (V _IN ) and the output terminal (V _OUT ) are connected. Includes filters (L _IN , C _IN ), first to fourth switches (A to D), inductor (L), sensing resistor (R _SENSE ), output filter (C _OUT ), and buck-boost controller 132. do.

The input filter (L _IN , C _IN ) filters the square wave input current of the power supply (V _IN ) supplied from the battery 10. The first to fourth switches A to D are selectively switched under the control of the buck-boost controller 132. The inductor L is charged or discharged with input power according to the switching operations of the first to fourth switches A to D. The sensing resistor (R _SENSE ) detects the voltage of the inductor (L) according to the switching operation of the second and third switches (B, C). That is, the sensing resistor (R _SENSE ) monitors the charging current of the inductor (L) by detecting the voltage at both ends (SNS ⁺ , SNS ^- ), and transmits the sensed voltage to the buck-boost controller 132. The output filter (C _OUT ) filters to remove voltage ripple of the output power. And the buck-boost controller 132 controls the DC/DC converter 130 to operate in synchronous buck mode, boost mode, or buck-boost mode depending on the input voltage.

That is, the buck-booster controller 132 is provided as, for example, a 4-switch controller and performs synchronous buck mode, boost mode, and buck-boost mode that are automatically switched depending on the input voltage (V _IN ), thereby performing the first to fourth switches (A to D) are controlled to be selectively switched.

Here, the operating order of the first to fourth switches (A to D) is synchronized with the duty cycle of the synchronization signal depending on whether the input voltage (V _IN ) is greater than, approximately equal to, or less than the desired output voltage (V _OUT ). It changes.

Specifically, the buck-booster controller 132 operates in buck mode when the input voltage (V _IN ) is greater than the output voltage (V _OUT ). That is, the fourth switch (D) is turned on (ON), and the third switch (C) is turned off (OFF). When each cycle of the synchronization signal starts, the second switch (B) is turned on first, and the current of the inductor (L) is increased by the buck-boost controller 132 detecting the voltage across the sensing resistor (Rsense) (SNS ⁺ , SNS ^- ). and is determined by comparing the sensed voltage with the internal reference voltage. When the sense voltage falls below the reference voltage, the second switch (B) turns off and the first switch (A) turns on for the remainder of the cycle. The first switch (A) and the second switch (B) turn on and off alternately, operating like a typical synchronous buck regulator. At this time, the duty cycle of the first switch (A) increases until it reaches 94% to 96% of the maximum duty cycle of the DC/DC converter 130 in buck mode.

Afterwards, when the input voltage (V _IN ) approaches the output voltage (V _OUT ), the maximum duty cycle is reached, and the buck-boost controller 132 switches to buck-boost mode. When the cycle begins with the buck-boost mode with the second switch (B) and the fourth switch (D) turned on, the first switch (A) and the third switch (C) are turned on. The third switch (C) is then turned off, the first switch (A) is turned on, and the fourth switch (D) is turned on for the remainder of the cycle. However, if the buck-boost controller 132 is started with the first switch (A) and the third switch (C) turned on, the second switch (B) and the fourth switch (D) are turned on, and then the second switch (B) and the fourth switch (D) are turned on. Switch B is turned off, fourth switch D remains on, and first switch A is turned on for the remainder of the cycle.

Also, when the input voltage (V _IN ) is much lower than the output voltage (V _OUT ), the buck-boost controller 132 operates in boost mode. That is, the first switch (A) is always turned on, and the second switch (B) is always turned off. When each cycle starts, the third switch (C) is turned on first and the current in the inductor (L) is monitored through the sensing resistor (R _SENSE ). When the voltage across the sensing resistor (R _SENSE ) (SNS ⁺ , SNS ^- ) rises above the reference voltage, the third switch (C) is turned off and the fourth switch (D) is turned on during the remaining cycle. The third switch (C) and the first switch (A) turn on and off alternately and operate like a typical synchronous boost regulator. The duty cycle of the third switch (C) decreases until the minimum duty cycle of the DC/DC converter 130 reaches 4% to 6% in boost mode. Once this minimum duty cycle is reached, buck-boost controller 132 switches to buck-boost mode.

And the control unit 102 controls the operation of the DC/DC converter 130 when power is supplied from the battery 10. The control unit 102 detects the voltage of the power supplied from the battery 10 for each channel and controls the delay circuits 140 and 142 to be sequentially opened and closed according to the set delay time. To this end, the control unit 102 sets a delay time for each channel and controls the delay circuits 140 and 142 to sequentially supply power to each channel according to the set delay time.

The power stabilization device 100 of the present invention is provided in the form of a case to facilitate installation inside the vehicle 2, and is provided with a connector (i.e. input port) on one side for receiving power from the battery 10, On the other side, a plurality of connectors (i.e., output ports) 150 to 154 through which the electronic devices 20 are electrically connected are provided.

In addition, the power stabilization device 100 distributes power to a plurality of channels to supply power from the battery 10 at a constant voltage to the electronic devices 200 mounted on the connectors 150 to 154, and to other devices in the vehicle 2. It is adjusted so as not to affect the electric or electronic device 200 to prevent all equipment of the vehicle 2 from going down at the same time, thereby enabling stable operation of the vehicle and the electronic device 200.

As shown in FIG. 4, the power stabilization device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a direct current voltage, for example, in the range of 18V to 30V, from the battery 10 of a bus vehicle and supplies 24V to each of a plurality of channels. Outputs a direct current voltage of

In addition, in the power stabilization device 100, the control unit 102 detects the voltage of each channel, and when the bus vehicle starts, power is supplied from the battery 10 to all electronic devices 200 at the same time to prevent overload. To prevent this from occurring, each of the first to fourth delay circuits 140, 142a to 142g is sequentially controlled according to a set delay time.

In addition, the power stabilization device 100 uses the automatic transfer circuit 120, so that if a failure due to a circuit, connector, etc. occurs in a specific channel during power supply, the electronic devices with essential or important functions for the operation of the vehicle 2 By automatically switching the channel to another normal channel so that power can always be applied, the power supply to important electronic devices can be prevented from being cut off when a malfunction occurs in the channel.

In the above, the configuration and operation of the power stabilization device for a vehicle according to the present invention have been shown according to the detailed description and drawings, but this is merely an example and various changes and modifications are made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. This is possible.
