Description

採用多個判飽條件以精準顯示電量之方法及相關電池管理單元Method for using multiple judgment conditions to accurately display power and related battery management unit

本發明相關於一種顯示電量之方法及相關電池管理單元,尤指一種採用多個判飽條件以精準顯示電量之方法及相關電池管理單元。The invention relates to a method for displaying the electric quantity and a related battery management unit, in particular to a method for accurately displaying the electric quantity using a plurality of saturation conditions and a related battery management unit.

鋰電池具有高能量密度、高操作電壓、使用溫度範圍大、無記憶效應、壽命長,以及高充放電次數等優點,已廣泛地被用以提供電力,例如用於手機、筆記型電腦或數位相機等可攜式電子產品。同時,針對近年來電動車的蓬勃發展,使用磷酸鋰鐵(LiFePO 4)為正極材料之鋰電池具高安全性、平穩的電壓平台輸出、快速充電能力、可瞬間大電流放電、長使用壽命、高能量密度,以及符合綠色能源要求對環境不污染等特色,因此成為電動車動力來源的首選。 Lithium batteries have the advantages of high energy density, high operating voltage, wide operating temperature range, no memory effect, long life, and high charge and discharge times. They have been widely used to provide electricity, such as mobile phones, notebook computers or digital Portable electronic products such as cameras. At the same time, in view of the vigorous development of electric vehicles in recent years, lithium batteries using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) as the positive electrode material have high safety, stable voltage platform output, fast charging capability, instantaneous large current discharge, long service life, high The energy density and the characteristics of meeting the requirements of green energy and no pollution to the environment have made it the first choice for electric vehicles.

由於電動車與穿戴攜帶式電子產品相比之下,電動車所使用的電芯數目遠多於穿戴攜帶式電子產品好幾千倍,因此在利潤取向下所以很多一線電芯廠都將產能移往電動車,其它穿戴攜帶式電子產品所需的產能則由二線電芯廠來填補。在規格方面最主要的差異是在電池充電電壓的部份,一線電芯廠的充電電壓在允許的溫度範圍內是以定電壓充電,而二線電芯廠因考量電池特性的問題,所以在允許充電範圍中,大部份都是在溫度達到45度以上時需要做降電壓充電的動作,不過這也影響到了系統電池指示器的電量顯示。Compared with wearable and portable electronic products, electric vehicles use thousands of times more batteries than wearable and portable electronic products. Therefore, under the profit orientation, many first-line battery manufacturers have shifted their production capacity. For electric vehicles, the capacity required for other wearable and portable electronic products is filled by second-line battery manufacturers. The main difference in the specifications is in the battery charging voltage. The charging voltage of the first-line battery factory is charged at a fixed voltage within the allowable temperature range. The second-line battery factory considers the characteristics of the battery. In the allowable charging range, most of them need to do the step-down charging when the temperature reaches above 45 degrees, but this also affects the power display of the system battery indicator.

在競技筆電的應用中,筆記型電腦之變壓器多半會長時間插著電,而許多使用者亦習慣一邊將手機插入交流電源一邊操作手機。在高效能的運作下,系統溫度的提升也會讓電池的操作溫度越來越高。假設現在使用者的系統尚未充飽電,使用情境又在重負載的狀況下進行充電,系統若是採用上述二線電池芯的話就會讓使用者看到明明充電器插著卻一直無法飽充的情形。In the application of competitive notebook computers, the transformer of the notebook computer is mostly plugged in for a long time, and many users are also used to operate the mobile phone while plugging the mobile phone into an AC power source. Under high-efficiency operation, the increase in system temperature will make the operating temperature of the battery higher and higher. Assuming that the user's system is not fully charged, and the charging situation is under a heavy load, the system will use the above two-line battery core to let the user see that the charger is plugged in but has not been fully charged. situation.

第1圖為先前技術中採用二線電池芯之系統運作時的示意圖。由上至下依序為二線電池芯之相對荷電狀態(relative state-of-charge, RSOC)、充電電壓,操作溫度和充放電電流之波形圖。假設先前技術之二線電池芯之規格為當溫度在45℃以下需以4.4V來充電,而當溫度在45℃以上時需降壓以4.2V來充電。如第1圖所示,當二線電池芯之操作溫度超過45℃時,此時二線電池芯之充電電壓為4.2V,滿充電時RSOC的部份就會停留在4.2V所對應大約80%之處。直到二線電池芯之操作溫度低於45℃時,充電電壓才會變回4.4V,滿充電時電池電量RSOC才會顯示為100%。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art system using a two-wire battery cell during operation. From top to bottom are the waveform diagrams of the relative state-of-charge (RSOC), charging voltage, operating temperature and charge-discharge current of the two-wire battery cell in order. Assume that the specification of the second-line battery cell in the prior art is that when the temperature is below 45 ° C, it needs to be charged with 4.4V, and when the temperature is above 45 ° C, it needs to be stepped down and charged with 4.2V. As shown in Figure 1, when the operating temperature of the second-wire battery cell exceeds 45 ° C, the charging voltage of the second-wire battery cell is 4.2V at this time, and the RSOC part will stay at 4.2V corresponding to about 80 when fully charged. % Place. The charging voltage will not return to 4.4V until the operating temperature of the second-line battery core is lower than 45 ° C, and the battery charge RSOC will show 100% when fully charged.

因此,當採用二線電池芯之系統在尚未充飽電且在重負載運作的狀況下進行充電,使用者可能會看到明明充電器插著卻一直無法飽充的情形,進而造成困擾。因此,需要一種能精準顯示電量之電池管理單元。Therefore, when a system using a two-wire battery cell is charged before it is fully charged and under heavy load operation, the user may see a situation where the charger is plugged in but cannot be fully charged, which may cause trouble. Therefore, there is a need for a battery management unit that can accurately display power.

第3圖為本發明實施例中電池管理單元100運作時之流程圖,其包含下列步驟:FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the operation of the battery management unit 100 in the embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps:

步驟310: 開始。Step 310: Start.

步驟320: 判斷電池組10之操作溫度是否超過一臨界溫度;若是,執行步驟330;若否,執行步驟360。Step 320: Determine whether the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 exceeds a critical temperature; if yes, go to step 330; if not, go to step 360.

步驟330: 判斷電池組10之充電電壓是否超過一預定電壓;若是,執行步驟340;若否,執行步驟350。Step 330: Determine whether the charging voltage of the battery pack 10 exceeds a predetermined voltage; if yes, go to step 340; if not, go to step 350.

步驟340: 當依據電池組10之操作溫度和充電電壓判定符合一第一高溫判飽條件時,將顯示模組60所顯示之RSOC在一預定時間內逐漸提升至100%。Step 340: When it is determined that a first high-temperature full-saturation condition is satisfied according to the operating temperature and charging voltage of the battery pack 10, the RSOC displayed by the display module 60 is gradually increased to 100% within a predetermined time.

步驟350: 當依據電池組10之操作溫度、充電電壓和充電電流判定符合一第二高溫判飽條件時,將顯示模組60所顯示之RSOC在一預定時間內逐漸提升至100%。Step 350: When it is determined according to the operating temperature, charging voltage and charging current of the battery pack 10 that a second high-temperature full-saturation condition is satisfied, the RSOC displayed by the display module 60 is gradually increased to 100% within a predetermined time.

步驟360: 當依據電池組10之充電電壓和充電電流判定符合一常溫判飽條件時,將顯示模組60所顯示之RSOC在一預定時間內逐漸提升至100%。Step 360: When it is determined according to the charging voltage and charging current of the battery pack 10 that a full-temperature judgment condition is satisfied, the RSOC displayed by the display module 60 is gradually increased to 100% within a predetermined time.

在步驟320中,微控制器20可依據溫度偵測單元30提供之溫度資訊S1來得知目前電池組10之操作溫度。臨界溫度可依據電池組10之特性來決定,例如在表一的實施例中,臨界溫度可設為45℃。依據表一所示之規格,當電池組10之操作溫度未超過45℃時應使用較高充電電壓(4.4V),而當電池組10之操作溫度超過45℃時應使用較低充電電壓(4.2V),如此可確保電池組10維持其運作特性。值得注意的是,表一所示實施例僅為了說明目的,並不限定本發明之範疇。In step 320, the microcontroller 20 can obtain the current operating temperature of the battery pack 10 according to the temperature information S1 provided by the temperature detection unit 30. The critical temperature can be determined according to the characteristics of the battery pack 10. For example, in the embodiment of Table 1, the critical temperature can be set to 45 ° C. According to the specifications shown in Table 1, a higher charging voltage (4.4V) should be used when the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 does not exceed 45 ° C, and a lower charging voltage should be used when the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 exceeds 45 ° C ( 4.2V), so as to ensure that the battery pack 10 maintains its operating characteristics. It should be noted that the embodiment shown in Table 1 is for illustrative purposes only, and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

在步驟330中,微控制器20可依據電壓偵測單元50所提供之電壓資訊S3來得知目前電池組10之充電電壓。預定電壓可依據電池組10之特性來決定,例如在表一的實施例中,預定電壓可設為4.2V℃。步驟330的目的在於當電池組10在高溫狀態(例如45~60℃)下運作時,判斷其充電電壓之值是否超過規格中要求的較低充電電壓(4.2V)。In step 330, the microcontroller 20 can obtain the current charging voltage of the battery pack 10 according to the voltage information S3 provided by the voltage detection unit 50. The predetermined voltage may be determined according to the characteristics of the battery pack 10. For example, in the embodiment of Table 1, the predetermined voltage may be set to 4.2V ° C. The purpose of step 330 is to determine whether the value of the charging voltage exceeds the lower charging voltage (4.2V) required by the specifications when the battery pack 10 is operated at a high temperature (eg, 45-60 ° C).

當在步驟320和330中判定電池組10之操作溫度超過臨界溫度且充電電壓超過預定電壓時,本發明會執行步驟340以依據電池組10之操作溫度和充電電壓來判斷是否符合第一高溫判飽條件。例如在表一的實施例中,當電池組10之操作溫度高於45℃且充電電壓大於4.2V時,此時可判定符合第一高溫判飽條件。第一高溫判飽條件是考量到系統在原始充電電壓4.4V接近充飽時,在操作溫度突然超過45度需降壓的狀況下,同時考量操作溫度和充電電壓的判飽機制。When it is determined in steps 320 and 330 that the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 exceeds the critical temperature and the charging voltage exceeds the predetermined voltage, the present invention performs step 340 to determine whether the first high temperature judgment is met according to the operating temperature and charging voltage of the battery pack 10 Full condition. For example, in the embodiment of Table 1, when the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 is higher than 45 ° C and the charging voltage is higher than 4.2V, it may be determined that the first high-temperature full-saturation condition is met. The first high-temperature full-sufficiency condition is to consider the system's full-saturation mechanism when the original charging voltage of 4.4V is close to full-charge, and the operating temperature suddenly exceeds 45 degrees when the voltage needs to be reduced.

當在步驟320和330中判定電池組10之操作溫度超過臨界溫度但充電電壓並未超過預定電壓時,本發明會執行步驟350以依據電池組10之操作溫度、充電電壓和充電電流是否符合第二高溫判飽條件,其中微控制器20可依據電流偵測單元40所提供之電流資訊S2來得知目前電池組10之充電電流。例如在表一的實施例中,當電池組10之操作溫度高於45℃、充電電壓大於4.1V且充電電流小於229mA時,此時可判定符合第二高溫判飽條件。第二高溫判飽條件是針對系統在高溫狀態運作一段時間時,同時考量操作溫度、充電電壓和充電電流(規格中的中止充電電流)的判飽機制。When it is determined in steps 320 and 330 that the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 exceeds the critical temperature but the charging voltage does not exceed the predetermined voltage, the present invention performs step 350 to determine whether the operating temperature, charging voltage and charging current of the battery pack 10 Two high-temperature conditions for determining saturation, in which the microcontroller 20 can obtain the current charging current of the battery pack 10 according to the current information S2 provided by the current detection unit 40. For example, in the embodiment of Table 1, when the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 is higher than 45 ° C., the charging voltage is greater than 4.1 V, and the charging current is less than 229 mA, it may be determined that the second high-temperature saturation condition is met. The second high-temperature full-satisfaction condition is a full-sufficiency determination mechanism that considers the operating temperature, charging voltage, and charging current (discharging charging current in the specifications) when the system is operated at a high temperature for a period of time.

當在步驟320中判定電池組10之操作溫度並未超過臨界溫度時,本發明會執行步驟360以依據電池組10之充電電壓和充電電流來判斷是否符合常溫判飽條件。例如在表一的實施例中,當電池組10之充電電壓大於4.3V且充電電流小於229mA時,此時可判定符合常溫判飽條件。常溫判飽條件是針對系統在常溫狀態下時,同時考量充電電壓和充電電流(規格中的中止充電電流)的判飽機制。When it is determined in step 320 that the operating temperature of the battery pack 10 does not exceed the critical temperature, the present invention performs step 360 to determine whether it satisfies the normal temperature judgment condition according to the charging voltage and the charging current of the battery pack 10. For example, in the embodiment of Table 1, when the charging voltage of the battery pack 10 is greater than 4.3V and the charging current is less than 229mA, it can be determined that the condition for determining saturation at normal temperature is met. The normal temperature full-sufficiency condition is a full-sufficiency determination mechanism that considers the charging voltage and the charging current (abort charging current in the specifications) at the same time when the system is in the normal temperature state.

當在步驟340、350或360中判定符合第一高溫判飽條件、第二高溫判飽條件或常溫判飽條件時,本發明可執行步驟370以將顯示模組60所顯示之RSOC在預定時間內逐漸提升至100%。When it is determined in step 340, 350, or 360 that the first high-temperature full-saturation condition, the second high-temperature full-saturation condition, or the normal temperature full-saturation condition is met, the present invention can perform step 370 to set the RSOC displayed by the display module 60 for a predetermined time The internal gradually increased to 100%.

第4圖為本發明實施例中電池管理單元100運作時之示意圖。由上至下依序為電池組10之RSOC、充電電壓,操作溫度和充放電電流之波形圖。在時間點T1之前和時間點T2之後採用常溫判飽條件來判斷,而在時間點T1和T2之間採用第一高溫判飽條件或第二高溫判飽條件來判斷。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the battery management unit 100 in the embodiment of the present invention. From top to bottom, the waveform charts of the RSOC, charging voltage, operating temperature, and charge and discharge current of the battery pack 10 are in order. Before the time point T1 and after the time point T2, the normal temperature judgment condition is used for judgment, and between the time points T1 and T2, the first high temperature judgment condition or the second high temperature judgment condition is used for judgment.

綜上所述,本發明提供一種依據操作溫度、充電電壓和充電電流來判飽之電池管理單元。當電池管理單元在常溫下運作時,依據電池組10之充電電壓和充電電流來判斷是否符合常溫判飽條件;當電池管理單元在高溫下以較高充電電壓運作時,依據電池組10之操作溫度和充電電壓來判斷是否符合第一高溫判飽條件;當電池管理單元在高溫下以較低充電電壓運作時,依據電池組10之操作溫度、充電電壓和充電電壓來判斷是否符合第二高溫判飽條件。因此,當採用二線電池芯之系統之飽充顯示可以達到100%的判飽條件,而不會被降壓後的電壓限制而讓使用者誤以為未充飽電。 以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。In summary, the present invention provides a battery management unit that judges fullness based on operating temperature, charging voltage and charging current. When the battery management unit is operating at normal temperature, it is judged whether it satisfies the normal temperature judgment condition according to the charging voltage and charging current of the battery pack 10; when the battery management unit is operating at a higher charging voltage at high temperature, it is based on the operation of the battery pack 10 Temperature and charging voltage to determine whether it meets the first high-temperature full-saturation condition; when the battery management unit operates at a lower charging voltage at high temperature, it determines whether it meets the second high temperature according to the operating temperature, charging voltage and charging voltage of the battery pack 10 Sufficiency conditions. Therefore, the full-charge display of a system using a two-wire battery cell can reach 100% full-saturation conditions, without being limited by the voltage after the buck, which makes the user mistakenly believe that it is not fully charged. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
