Description

電池電壓均衡調節器及其方法 Battery voltage equalization regulator and method thereof

本發明係關於一種電池電壓均衡調節器及其方法;特別是關於一種提升均壓效率〔voltage balancing efficiency〕之電池電壓均衡調節器及其方法。 The present invention relates to a battery voltage equalization regulator and a method thereof, and more particularly to a battery voltage equalization regulator and a method thereof for improving voltage balancing efficiency.

一般而言,電池在不同環境的應用上,為了達到所要求的工作電壓,需對電池作串聯的應用。另外,當串聯電池使用一段時間後,需對串聯電池作充電。然而,在製造過程中電池的特性可能不一致,因此在進行串聯充電時,該串聯電池組中一部分電池電壓可能發生超過規定電壓,而另一部分電池則可能發生充電電壓不足。為了改善前述問題,可加入電池電壓均衡調節器來控制每顆電池的充電電壓,使串聯電池組中之各個電池電壓均衡。 In general, in different environmental applications, the battery needs to be connected in series in order to achieve the required operating voltage. In addition, when the series battery is used for a period of time, the series battery needs to be charged. However, the characteristics of the battery may be inconsistent during the manufacturing process, so that when the series charging is performed, a part of the battery voltage in the series battery may exceed a prescribed voltage, and another part of the battery may have a insufficient charging voltage. In order to improve the aforementioned problem, a battery voltage equalization regulator can be added to control the charging voltage of each battery to equalize the voltage of each battery in the series battery pack.

習用電池均壓技術,如美國專利第6801014號之〝Battery equalizer using total string current〞發明專利,其揭示一電池均壓器1。請參照第1圖所示,該電池均壓器1包含一直流-直流轉換器11及一電容組12,其連接應用於一電池組13。該電池均壓器1為利用返馳式變壓器之架構,該直流-直流轉換器11之一次側為單一繞組,而該直流-直流轉換器11之二次側為多重繞組,且針對不同數量電池串聯的該電池組13對應設置該直流-直流轉換器11之二次側之多重繞組之數量。 Conventional battery equalization techniques, such as the US Patent No. 6,801,014, Battery equalizer using total string current, discloses a battery voltage equalizer 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the battery voltage equalizer 1 includes a DC-DC converter 11 and a capacitor bank 12, and the connection is applied to a battery pack 13. The battery voltage equalizer 1 is a structure using a flyback transformer. The primary side of the DC-DC converter 11 is a single winding, and the secondary side of the DC-DC converter 11 is a multiple winding, and is for a different number of batteries. The battery pack 13 connected in series corresponds to the number of multiple windings on the secondary side of the DC-DC converter 11.

請再參照第1圖所示,利用串聯的該電池組13之整組電壓作為參考,並對該電池組13中最低電壓之電池 進行充電。因此,當該電池組13之任一顆電池之電壓為最低時,將該最低電壓之電池組13所連接的二極體優先導通,使得對應該電池組13的二次側繞組Ns電壓箝制在該電池組13的電池電壓〔即最低電壓〕,且其餘所有二次側繞組Ns電壓亦被箝制在該最低電壓。在理論上,在該電池組13中只有電壓最低之該電池組13之電池方能進行充電,而其餘二次側繞組Ns電壓皆低於其所對應該電池組13之電池電壓,所以不會有電流經過該其餘二次側繞組Ns,因而其餘該電池組13之電池不會進行充電。 Referring again to FIG. 1, the entire set of voltages of the battery pack 13 connected in series is used as a reference, and the battery of the lowest voltage in the battery pack 13 is charged. Therefore, when the voltage of any one of the batteries of the battery pack 13 is the lowest, the diode connected to the battery pack 13 of the lowest voltage is preferentially turned on, so that the voltage of the secondary side winding Ns corresponding to the battery pack 13 is clamped at The battery voltage of the battery pack 13 (i.e., the lowest voltage), and the remaining secondary winding Ns voltages are also clamped at the lowest voltage. Theoretically, in the battery pack 13, only the battery of the battery pack 13 having the lowest voltage can be charged, and the remaining secondary winding Ns voltages are lower than the battery voltage of the corresponding battery pack 13, so A current flows through the remaining secondary side windings Ns , so that the remaining batteries of the battery pack 13 are not charged.

然而,在實際應用上,該直流-直流轉換器11存在每個感應磁通不均、該電池組13之每個電池內阻及其二極體導通壓降的因素,使得該直流-直流轉換器11之二次側繞組Ns電壓皆可能高於其所對應之該電池組13之電池電壓,如此使整個串聯的該電池組13之每個電池無論電壓高或低,皆有電流對電池充電。因此,將不需充電的電池進行長時間充電具有浪費電能的缺點。另外,每個電池需對應一組二次側繞組Ns具有增加該電池均壓器1的體積的缺點。 However, in practical applications, the DC-DC converter 11 has a factor of inductive magnetic flux unevenness, internal resistance of each battery of the battery pack 13, and its diode conduction voltage drop, so that the DC-DC conversion The secondary side winding Ns voltage of the device 11 may be higher than the battery voltage of the battery pack 13 corresponding thereto , so that each battery of the battery unit 13 connected in series has a current to charge the battery regardless of the voltage is high or low. . Therefore, charging a battery that does not require charging for a long time has the disadvantage of wasting power. In addition, each battery needs to correspond to a set of secondary side windings Ns having the disadvantage of increasing the volume of the battery voltage equalizer 1.

另一習用電池均壓技術,如美國專利第8120322號之〝Charge equalization apparatus〞發明專利,其揭示一充電均衡設備2。請參照第2圖所示,該充電均衡設備2包含數個返馳式變壓器211至21n及數個直流-直流轉換器221至22n,其連接應用於串聯之數個電池組231至23n,且每個該電池組231至23n包含數顆電池。該返馳式變壓器211至21n為匝數比1:1的返馳式變壓器,而每個該直流-直流轉換器221至22n包含一返馳式變壓器,且該電池組231至23n之每個電池對應連接至該返馳式變壓器。 Another conventional battery equalization technique, such as the US Patent No. 8120322, the Charge equalization apparatus, discloses a charge equalization device 2. Referring to FIG. 2, the charge equalization device 2 includes a plurality of flyback transformers 211 to 21n and a plurality of DC-DC converters 221 to 22n connected to a plurality of battery packs 231 to 23n connected in series, and Each of the battery packs 231 to 23n includes a plurality of batteries. The flyback transformers 211 to 21n are flyback transformers having a turns ratio of 1:1, and each of the DC-DC converters 221 to 22n includes a flyback transformer, and each of the battery packs 231 to 23n The battery is connected to the flyback transformer.

請再參照第2圖所示,每個該電池組231至23n 對應連接至一組匝數比1:1的返馳式變壓器211至21n,此均壓方式為偵測串聯該電池組231至23n中的每顆電池的電壓。對該電池組231至23n中電壓最低之電池所對應連接的該直流-直流轉換器221至22n之開關導通,以便利用每個該電池組231至23n中其餘電池之能量對該電壓最低之電池進行充電,以達成每個該電池組231至23n中每顆電池皆產生電壓均衡之功能。同時,在該數個電池組231至23n之間比較電壓,以尋找最低電壓的電池組,再利用匝數比1:1的該返馳式變壓器211至21n將其餘該電池組231至23n的能量對最低電壓的電池組進行充電,以達成該數個電池組231至23n之間產生電池組電壓均衡之功能。 Please refer to FIG. 2 again, each of the battery packs 231 to 23n Correspondingly connected to a set of flyback transformers 211 to 21n having a turns ratio of 1:1, the voltage equalization mode is to detect the voltage of each of the battery packs 231 to 23n connected in series. The switches of the DC-DC converters 221 to 22n to which the lowest voltage batteries of the battery packs 231 to 23n are connected are turned on, so as to utilize the energy of the remaining batteries in each of the battery packs 231 to 23n to the battery with the lowest voltage. Charging is performed to achieve a function of voltage equalization for each of the battery packs 231 to 23n. At the same time, the voltage is compared between the plurality of battery packs 231 to 23n to find the battery pack of the lowest voltage, and the rest of the battery packs 231 to 23n are reused by the flyback type transformers 211 to 21n having a turns ratio of 1:1. The energy charges the battery pack of the lowest voltage to achieve a function of generating a battery pack voltage balance between the plurality of battery packs 231 to 23n.

請再參照第2圖所示,前述電池均壓技術在每個該直流-直流轉換器221至22n中每顆電池都必須接一組該返馳式變壓器211至21n。除此之外,每個該電池組231至23n另需再連接一組匝數比1:1的返馳式變壓器211至21n,如此設置返馳式變壓器具有大幅增加製造成本的缺點,且亦具有產品體積龐大的缺點。 Referring to FIG. 2 again, the battery voltage equalization technique requires a set of the flyback transformers 211 to 21n for each of the DC-DC converters 221 to 22n. In addition, each of the battery packs 231 to 23n needs to be connected to a set of flyback type transformers 211 to 21n having a turns ratio of 1:1, so that the provision of the flyback type transformer has the disadvantage of greatly increasing the manufacturing cost, and It has the disadvantage of being bulky.

然而,前述美國專利第6801014號之電池均壓器及美國專利第8120322號之充電均衡設備具有各種技術缺點。因此,習用電池均壓技術必然存在進一步減少能量損耗、降低製造成本及減少產品體積之需求。前述專利及專利申請案僅為本發明技術背景之參考及說明目前技術發展狀態而已,其並非用以限制本發明之範圍。 However, the battery voltage equalizer of the aforementioned U.S. Patent No. 6,801,014 and the charge equalization apparatus of U.S. Patent No. 8,120,322 have various technical disadvantages. Therefore, the conventional battery voltage equalization technology necessarily has the need to further reduce energy loss, reduce manufacturing costs, and reduce product volume. The above-mentioned patents and patent applications are merely for the purpose of the technical background of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

有鑑於此,本發明為了滿足上述技術問題及需求,其提供一種電池電壓均衡調節器及其方法,其僅採用一組一對一繞組之變壓器,藉由數個開關之導通所形成迴路將能量傳遞給需充電之電池,並控制其開關方式以提升均壓效率,因此相對於習用電池均壓技術具有提升均壓效率之優點。 In view of the above, in order to meet the above technical problems and needs, the present invention provides a battery voltage equalization regulator and a method thereof, which use only a set of transformers of one-to-one winding, and the energy is formed by the turn-on of a plurality of switches. It is passed to the battery to be charged, and its switching mode is controlled to improve the voltage equalization efficiency. Therefore, it has the advantage of improving the equalizing efficiency compared with the conventional battery equalizing technology.
