Description
本發明係有關於一種電池之監控裝置,尤其是有關於一種多節電池組之監控裝置。The invention relates to a battery monitoring device, in particular to a multi-cell battery monitoring device.
電池被廣泛應用於各式電子產品,且通常採用多節的電池結構,也就是串聯或並聯連接多個電池,以供應電子產品運作所需要的電力。多節電池組的充電/放電迴路的形成是透過控制器控制其切換電路。舉例來說,當將充電/放電迴路中的電池切換成新離線電池,且將原離線電池加入充電/放電迴路中時,控制器可將連接新離線電池的切換電路的串聯開關斷開,且旁路開關導通,這樣新離線電池就不會被充電或放電,並將連接原離線電池之切換電路的旁路開關斷開,再將串聯開關導通,以讓原離線電池加入充電/放電迴路中進行充電或放電。Batteries are widely used in various types of electronic products, and usually use a multi-cell battery structure, that is, multiple batteries connected in series or parallel to supply the power required for the operation of electronic products. The charging/discharging circuit of the multi-cell battery is formed by the controller controlling the switching circuit. For example, when the battery in the charging/discharging circuit is switched to a new offline battery, and the original offline battery is added to the charging/discharging circuit, the controller may disconnect the series switch connected to the switching circuit of the new offline battery, and The bypass switch is turned on, so that the new offline battery will not be charged or discharged, and the bypass switch connected to the switching circuit of the original offline battery is turned off, and then the series switch is turned on, so that the original offline battery is added to the charging/discharging circuit Charge or discharge.
目前多節電池組都是透過量測「電池運作時」的電壓或電流(透過串聯一電阻)或結合兩者以獲得電池電量,此時電池持續對電池組供電,一併偵測電池的電壓和電流來計算電池電量,惟此法之任一電池無法自電池組中完全離線,否則無法持續供電給電池組。當負載從電池組抽取電流時,電池的電壓會因此浮動,此浮動原因主要是實際的電池模型(battery model)為一真實之電池電動勢(electromotive force,emf)和一電池內電阻(internal resistance),電流流經電池時內電阻會造成電壓下降,所量測的電池端點電壓包含了此一電壓下降,但是每個電池的內電阻係未知,且電流係浮動,因此難以獲得真實之電池電動勢,意即無法精確地計算電池電量。At present, multi-cell battery packs are used to obtain the battery power by measuring the voltage or current of the "battery in operation" (through a resistor in series) or a combination of the two. And current to calculate the battery power, but any battery in this method cannot be completely offline from the battery pack, otherwise it cannot continue to supply power to the battery pack. When the load draws current from the battery pack, the voltage of the battery will therefore float. The main reason for this floating is that the actual battery model is a real battery electromotive force (emf) and a battery internal resistance (internal resistance) , When the current flows through the battery, the internal resistance will cause a voltage drop. The measured battery terminal voltage includes this voltage drop, but the internal resistance of each battery is unknown, and the current is floating, so it is difficult to obtain the real battery emf , Meaning that the battery charge cannot be accurately calculated.
又獲得電池之電壓和電流後即可計算出該電池之電量,目前有開路電壓法及庫倫計量法。其中開路電壓法係傳統架構,故不容易得到開路電壓(open circuit voltage),雖亦有透過電池之導通電壓(breakover voltage)來逼近開路電壓之動態開路電壓法,但因需要複雜的迭代計算,且其僅是近似逼近之方法。而庫倫計量法會隨時間和電流而累積誤差,其通常會因為電流感測誤差及因電池自放電而造成荷電狀態估計不準。即使電流感測誤差非常小,庫侖計數器卻會持續累積誤差,而所累積的誤差只有在完全充電或完全放電才能消除。After obtaining the voltage and current of the battery, the power of the battery can be calculated. At present, there are the open circuit voltage method and the Coulomb measurement method. The open circuit voltage method is a traditional architecture, so it is not easy to obtain the open circuit voltage (open circuit voltage). Although there is also a dynamic open circuit voltage method that approximates the open circuit voltage through the battery's breakover voltage, it requires complex iterative calculations. And it is only an approximate approach. The Coulomb measurement method accumulates errors with time and current, which is usually inaccurate due to current sensing errors and battery state-of-charge estimation due to battery self-discharge. Even if the current sensing error is very small, the coulomb counter will continue to accumulate the error, and the accumulated error can only be eliminated when fully charged or fully discharged.
此外,由於多節電池組在進行離線或加入切換時的電壓輸出通常會上升或下降一個電池的電壓量,甚至發生短暫失去電壓的情況,導致多節電池組因無法穩定輸出電壓而影響供電的品質,致使電子產品必須額外使用較大之電容來儲存電荷,亦或是須於多節電池組中額外增加穩壓電路或平衡電路,如此才能使多節電池組輸出電壓穩定,然此法通常會使多節電池組或電子產品之成本增加、電路複雜。In addition, because the voltage output of a multi-cell battery pack when going offline or when switching is added, the voltage of a battery usually rises or falls, and even a brief voltage loss occurs, resulting in the multi-cell battery pack being unable to stabilize the output voltage and affecting the power supply. Quality, so that electronic products must additionally use larger capacitors to store charge, or additional voltage regulator circuits or balancing circuits must be added to the multi-cell battery pack, so as to stabilize the output voltage of the multi-cell battery pack, but this method is usually It will increase the cost of multi-cell battery packs or electronic products, and the circuit will be complicated.
有鑑於上述現有技術之缺點,本發明之目的在於提供一種可節省成本、簡化電路且同時能使輸出電壓穩定之多節電池組之監控裝置。本發明多節電池組之監控裝置可使多節電池組中之部分電池於切換時之暫時離線也能保持電池組之完整供電,此時離線的電池可量測其開路電壓,該開路電壓由於無任何電流流經電池內電阻,故可代表真實之電池電動勢,並可有效地判斷電池之電量。透過逐一切換,即可獲得電池組中每一電池之電量。此外,本發明多節電池組之監控裝置透過電池離線前和離線後之電壓變化,並配合電流量測單元即可求得該電池之內電阻,進而求得該電池之壽命。本發明多節電池組之供電迴路於上述切換過程中能穩定供電予負載或電子產品,且不需任何額外之量測電路,即可同時精確地量測並計算多節電池組中各電池之電量與壽命。In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device for a multi-cell battery pack that can save costs, simplify circuits, and stabilize output voltage. The monitoring device of the multi-cell battery pack of the present invention can enable some batteries in the multi-cell battery pack to be temporarily offline at the time of switching and can also maintain the complete power supply of the battery pack. At this time, the off-line battery can measure its open circuit voltage. No current flows through the internal resistance of the battery, so it can represent the real battery electromotive force and can effectively judge the battery's charge. By switching one by one, you can get the power of each battery in the battery pack. In addition, the monitoring device of the multi-cell battery pack of the present invention can obtain the internal resistance of the battery through the voltage change of the battery before and after offline and cooperate with the current measurement unit, and then obtain the life of the battery. The power supply circuit of the multi-cell battery pack of the present invention can stably supply power to the load or electronic products during the above switching process, and can accurately measure and calculate the power of each battery in the multi-cell battery pack without any additional measurement circuit Power and life.

請同時參考第2、3圖,其中第3圖係依據第1圖切換後之供電迴路之示意圖。由第3圖可知,當切換後之第一電池15與第二電池17分別利用第一旁路開關21及第二串聯開關23與供電迴路L2電性連接時,電壓量測單元7係量測到未於供電迴路L2中(即離線)之第一電池15的第一開路電壓Voc1,以及於供電迴路L2中(即在線)之第二電池17的第二導通電壓Vbc2;電流量測單元9則量測到第二電池17之第二導通電流I2。Please also refer to Figures 2 and 3, where Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the power supply circuit after switching according to Figure 1.

請同時參考第1~3圖,本發明監控裝置1之控制單元13即根據第一電池15之第一導通電壓Vbc1、第一開路電壓Voc1與第一導通電流I1獲得一第一電池模型BM1。第一電池模型BM1係第一電池15之一第一內電阻(Internal resistance)R1及一第一電動勢emf1二者至少其一,其中第一電動勢emf1可利用第一開路電壓Voc1量測而得,故第一電動勢emf1例如可以是第一開路電壓Voc1。第一導通電壓Vbc1和第一開路電壓Voc1間之差異即是由第一電池15之第一內電阻R1和第一導通電流I1所造成,故第一內電阻R1可利用第一導通電壓Vbc1和第一開路電壓Voc1之差值與第一導通電流I1間之比值來獲得,即:
故在第一電池15離線於供電迴路L2之情況下,仍可獲得第一電池15之第一內電阻R
1,此即離線電池量測法。接著由第一電池15之第一內電阻R
1及第一電動勢emf
1可精確地計算一第一電池電量(圖未示)及一第一電池壽命(圖未示)二者至少其一。由於第一電池15之實際電量(圖未示)可透過第一電池電量及第一電池壽命計算獲得,即利用二者之乘積與第一電池15之初始最大電量(圖未示)相乘之後,即可獲得第一電池15之實際電量。相同地,控制單元13係根據第二電池17之第二導通電壓Vbc

2與第二導通電流I
2獲得第二電池模型BM2。第二電池模型BM2係第二電池17之一第二內電阻R
2及一第二電動勢emf
2二者至少其一,其中第二電動勢emf
2可利用第二開路電壓Voc
2量測而得,故第二電動勢emf
2例如可以是第二開路電壓Voc
2。由第二電池17之第二內電阻R
2及第二電動勢emf
2可用以精確地計算一第二電池電量(圖未示)及一第二電池壽命(圖未示)二者至少其一,進而獲得第二電池17之實際電量(圖未示),關於第二電池17之說明與第一電池15相同,於此不再贅述。如此,本發明監控裝置1即可對多節電池組5之實際電量進行監控。
Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 at the same time. The
由第1~3圖可知,本發明監控裝置1之控制單元13係用以根據電壓量測單元7所量測之第一導通電壓Vbc1與第一開路電壓Voc1或第二導通電壓Vbc2與第二開路電壓Voc2,以及電流量測單元9所量測之第一導通電流I1或第二導通電流I2,以獲得第一電池15之第一電池模型BM1或第二電池17之第二電池模型BM2。控制單元13於獲得第一電池15之第一電池模型BM1或第二電池17之第二電池模型BM2的過程中,多節電池組5係能同時被監控並維持供電迴路L1、L2之迴路電壓,以穩定供電予負載3。本發明監控裝置1之控制單元13可以是一微控制單元(MCU)、一個人電腦(PC)、一可程式化邏輯控制器(PLC)或一現場可程式化閘陣列(FPGA)。It can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3 that the
當本發明監控裝置1之電壓量測單元7量測到多節電池組5之供電迴路L1(第1圖)的二個電池(例如其中之一為第一電池15)的第一導通電壓Vbc1、第一開路電壓Voc1、第一電池模型BM1、第一電池電量或第一電池壽命分別與離線電池(例如是第二電池17)的第二導通電壓Vbc2、第二開路電壓Voc2、第二電池模型BM2、第二電池電量或第二電池壽命相比較的結果符合一切換條件或一預定值時,開關驅動單元11即根據控制單元13驅動第一電池15耦接之第一串聯開關19、第一旁路開關21及第二電池17耦接之第二串聯開關23、第二旁路開關25之斷開或導通,使第一電池15與第二電池17相互切換於供電迴路L1中,以形成如第3圖所示之多節電池組5之供電迴路L2。當開關驅動單元11將第一電池15切換為利用第一電池15耦接之第一旁路開關21與供電迴路L2電性連接、第二電池17切換為利用第二電池17耦接之第二串聯開關23與供電迴路L2電性連接後,即將多節電池組5中之第一電池15自供電迴路L2中切除,而將第二電池17切入供電迴路L2中,並能維持供電迴路L1、L2之迴路電壓,使多節電池組5於第一電池15及第二電池17之切換過程中能穩定供電予負載3。又當多節電池組5之供電迴路L2(第3圖)之二個電池分別與離線電池(例如是第一電池15)相比較的結果再次符合切換條件時,再次選擇將供電迴路L2之二個電池中的其中一者自供電迴路L2中斷開,並將離線電池(例如是第一電池15)加入供電迴路L2,如此重覆上述電性量測及偵測動作,即可獲得多節電池組5中每一電池之電量及壽命,進而對其進行監控。When the
由於本發明開關驅動單元11執行切換所需之時間甚微,故可迅速將多節電池組5之供電迴路L1中的離線電池由第二電池17切換為第一電池15。且因開關驅動單元11執行切換的過程中,多節電池組5之供電迴路L1、L2的電壓能被維持,故除能精確地計算電池電量及電池壽命以獲得電池之實際電量進行監控外,更能穩定供電予負載3或電子產品。Since the time required for the
綜合上述,本發明所揭之多節電池組的監控裝置,當多節電池組進行充放電時,至少有一電池為離線,且在不影響該多節電池組和負載之特性下,可量測該離線電池之開路電壓,用以獲得該多節電池組之電量及壽命。由於本發明多節電池組的監控裝置於切換過程中除能監控多節電池組之實際電量外,更能維持供電迴路之電壓,故能使多節電池組於電池切換過程中穩定供電予負載或電子產品,不會有輸出電壓異常之現象發生。In summary, the multi-cell battery monitoring device disclosed in the present invention, when the multi-cell battery is charged and discharged, at least one battery is offline, and can be measured without affecting the characteristics of the multi-cell battery and the load The open circuit voltage of the offline battery is used to obtain the power and life of the multi-cell battery pack.
