M409984 五、新型說明: 【新型所屬之技術領域】 本新型是有關於一種汽車供電裝置,且特別是有關於 一種提供狀態訊號之電池組以及一種依據電池組提供之狀 態訊號供給適當電力給汽車使用的汽車供電裝置。 '【先前技術】 • 一般說來,汽車使用的供電裝置或稱電池組,是供給 _啟動馬達、點火裝置、燈光裝置及其他裝置的直流電源。 但正常狀況下,發動引擎瞬間所需大量的電流由電池組來 提供,之後便由汽車之發電機負責供給汽車中需要用電的 電量,而當發電機提供之電力不足時,由電池組補償。當 發電機提供之電力有過剩時,則剩餘電流會回充給電池 組。故電池組可平衡發電機輸出的電量,使汽車整體系統 的電壓不至過高或過低。 ' 因此,電池組會隨著時間經過,或不當之操作而使得 籲性能逐漸下降。當電池組再也無法充放電、或當電容量在 規定值以下時,即判定電池組壽命終了。電池組的壽命和 汽車行駛的里程數及使用的期間有關,但同樣的電池組的 壽命亦會因使用的汽車不同及使用者習慣、車載電器用品 負荷和是否正常操作有很大的差異。另外,汽車長期間停 置,電池組自然放電卻沒得到適當的充電機會時,電池組 自然效能會降低。 當電池組效能降低時,會影響到汽車啟動馬達的能 力,而無法順利啟動車輛。因此,掌握電池組之電容量與 4 M409984 供電能力其實是開車前須預先檢查的項目之一。但目前若 需得知電池組的電容量等參數時,必須打開引擎蓋,並拉 實體線路以外接測試機器,才能偵測其電壓。而知道電壓 後,一般人也無法依照電壓得知電池組壽命或尚可使用之 時間。而在行駛當中,更不可能打開引擎蓋以此方法測量 電池組之電容量。因此,實無法掌控汽車行駛間的發電機 與電池組彼此之間的電力流,也無法即時得知電池組之電 容量狀況,更無法預測汽車中電池組的剩餘壽命。 【新型内容】 因此,本新型之一實施方式是在提供一種汽車供電裝 置,包含電池組與主控模組。電池組係用以供給直流電壓 並提供狀態訊號。而主控模組與電池組電性連接以依據電 池組提供之狀態訊號供給適當電力給汽車使用。此汽車供 電裝置更可以包含電子裝置(發電機),電性連接於主控模 組且利用直流電壓而啟動。此汽車供電裝置當然也可以包 含電腦系統,電腦系統會電性連接於主控模組且利用直流 電壓而啟動,並且依據狀態訊號進行運算及顯示電池之狀 態等等。 依據本新型之實施方式,一種汽車供電裝置的電池組 可包含電池包、監控模組與通訊介面。電池包係由複數個 串聯之電池組成。監控模組係與電池包電性連接以監控電 池包中各電池之狀態,並產生狀態訊號。通訊介面係與監 控模組電性連接,並送出狀態訊號給主控模組。其中電池 可為圓柱鎳氫電池電芯或方型鎳氫電池電芯或鎳氫電池或 M409984 鐘離子電池電怒。 藉此,本新型所提出之電池組與汽車供電裝置可以使 得使用者隨時隨地都可以掌握即時之電池組的各參數特 性,如電容量等等。進而可以採取適當之保養措施或改變 不當之使用習慣,使得電池組之壽命可延長。而經過電腦 • 系統計算更可以預估電池組之剩餘壽命給使用者參考。 【實施方式】 φ 請參考第1圖。第1圖是繪示依照本新型一實施方式 之汽車供電裝置100之功能方塊圖。此汽車供電裝置100 包含電池組170、主控模組130、電子裝置150及電腦系統 140。又電池組170包含電池包160、監控模組110、通訊 界面120。而電池包160係由複數個電池1〜N串聯而成。 更詳細地說,汽車供電裝置100中,電池組170係用 以供給直流電壓並提供狀態訊號給主控模組130。故電池 - 組170電性連接到主控模組130。而主控模組130會依據 鲁電池組170提供之狀態訊號,來配置適當電力給汽車之電 腦系統140、電子裝置150使用。汽車中的電子裝置150 像是發電機等等,一開始都是藉由直流電壓啟動。而電腦 系統140 —開始由直流電壓啟動後便可藉由發電機產生的 電力而持續運作。 而電池組170之中,電池包160係由複數個串聯之電 池1〜N組成。監控模組110係與電池包160中各個電池1〜N 電性連接以監控電池包160中各電池1〜N之狀態,並產生 狀態訊號。通訊介面120係與監控模組110電性連接,並 6 ^409984 送出狀態訊號給主控模級13〇。 器,==藉:電性連接之方式’且利用各種感應 像疋隹爾磁性兀件、溫度感測晶片、安培計等等 可以取到各電池1〜N之電容量、電壓、充 、 (_)、” j二’讀餘值(S0C)、劣化程度 壯,皿又 度〇口貝、效能等電池參數。而藉此產生 广訊號,此狀態訊號再藉由通訊介 17〇外部之主控模組13〇。通㈣面”n叮屯池組 線傳輸’此技術為-般習知通用之技術故在此不多贊述。 主控模組130基於狀態訊號便可以適#地安排與配置 、、組170提供之電力。例如:當某電池需要充電時,對 ^之狀態訊號便會顯示需要充電,而主控模組便會因此安 發電機產生之剩餘電流回充給此電池。反之’若某電池 =度充電,主控模組也會根據其狀態訊號,停止對其繼 ,充電並透過電腦系統發出警示聲響等。 而一般說來,電池1〜N可使用鎳氫電池電芯或鋰離子 •、池電芯來形成電池包160。請參考第2圖及第3圖。此2 ?皆是關於第i圖中電池包160之示意圖。但第2圖係串 p之圓柱鎳虱電池,而第3圖係串聯之方型鎳氫電池。 *、第2圖中,每一個圓柱鎳氫電池電芯24〇有兩端,一 端為正極220,另一端為負極230。利用金屬片210使得多 數,圓柱鎳氫電池電芯240串聯而形成電池包2〇〇。每— 個圓桎鎳氫電池電芯240若提供Uv之電壓,則串聯1〇 顆便有12v。利用上束帶250及下束帶26〇可以穩固地固 疋各圓柱鎳氫電池電芯240。電池包2⑻更包含電線wo M409984 可與外部電路電性連接。 第3圖中,每一個方型鎳氫電池電芯340也有兩極, 就是正極330與負極320。利用金屬片310串聯方型鎳氫 電池電芯340形成電池包300。 第4圖是第1圖中電池組之產品結構示意圖。在第4 圖中,電池組400包含電池包460、監控模組410、通訊介 . 面420以外,更包含用以保護之上蓋480與殼體490。上 , 蓋480具有開口。必要時可拉出實體線路。由上述實施方 φ式可知,應用本新型所提出之電池組與汽車供電裝置可以 使得使用者隨時隨地都可以掌握即時之電池組的各參數特 性,如電容量等等。進而可以採取適當之保養措施或改變 不當之使用習慣,使得電池組之壽命可延長。而經過電腦 系統計算更可以預估電池組之剩餘壽命給使用者參考。 雖然本新型已以實施方式揭露如上,然其並非用以限 定本新型,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本新型之精神和 .範圍内,當可作各種之更動與潤飾,因此本新型之保護範 φ圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 【圖式簡單說明】 為讓本新型之上述和其他目的、特徵、優點與實施例 能更明顯易懂,所附圖式之說明如下: 第1圖是繪示依照本新型一實施方式之汽車供電裝置 之功能方塊圖。 第2圖係繪示串聯之圓柱鎳氫電池電芯之示意圖。 第3圖係繪示串聯之方型鎳氫電池電芯之示意圖。 8 M409984 第4圖係繪示第1圖中電池組之產品結構示意圖 【主要元件符號說明】 100 : 汽車供電裝置 1〜N : 電池 120 : 通訊介面 110 : 監控模組 140 : 電腦糸統 130 : 主控模組 160 : 電池包 150 : 電子裝置 200、 300 :電池包 170 : 電池組 220 : 正極 210 : 金屬片 230 : 負極 270 : 電線 240 : 圓柱鎳氫電池電芯 310 : 金屬片 250 : 上束帶 320 : 負極 260 :下束帶 330 : 正極 340 : 方型鎳氫電池電芯 410 : 監控模組 400 : 電池組 480 : 上蓋 420 : 通訊介面 490 : 殼體 460 :電池包M409984 V. New description: [New technical field] The present invention relates to a vehicle power supply device, and particularly relates to a battery pack for providing a status signal and a state signal provided by the battery pack for supplying appropriate power to the automobile. Car power supply unit. '[Prior Art] • Generally speaking, the power supply unit or battery pack used in automobiles is a DC power supply that supplies the starter motor, ignition device, lighting device and other devices. However, under normal conditions, a large amount of current required to start the engine is provided by the battery pack. After that, the generator of the car is responsible for supplying the amount of electricity that needs to be used in the car, and when the power provided by the generator is insufficient, the battery pack compensates. . When there is excess power from the generator, the residual current is recharged to the battery pack. Therefore, the battery pack can balance the power output of the generator so that the voltage of the overall system of the vehicle is not too high or too low. Therefore, the battery pack will gradually degrade due to the passage of time or improper operation. When the battery pack can no longer be charged or discharged, or when the capacitance is below the specified value, it is determined that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. The life of the battery pack is related to the number of miles traveled by the car and the period of use. However, the life of the same battery pack will vary greatly depending on the car used and the user's habits, the load on the car's electrical appliances, and whether it is operating normally. In addition, when the car is parked for a long period of time and the battery pack is naturally discharged without proper charging opportunities, the battery pack's natural performance will be degraded. When the battery pack performance is reduced, it will affect the ability of the car to start the motor and will not start the vehicle smoothly. Therefore, mastering the battery capacity and 4 M409984 power supply capacity is actually one of the items that must be checked before driving. However, if you need to know the parameters such as the battery capacity of the battery pack, you must open the hood and pull the physical line to connect to the test machine to detect the voltage. After knowing the voltage, most people can't know the battery pack's life or the time it can be used according to the voltage. While driving, it is even less likely to open the hood to measure the battery capacity of the battery pack. Therefore, it is impossible to control the power flow between the generator and the battery pack between the cars, and it is impossible to immediately know the capacity of the battery pack, and it is impossible to predict the remaining life of the battery pack in the car. [New Content] Therefore, one embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle power supply device including a battery pack and a main control module. The battery pack is used to supply DC voltage and provide status signals. The main control module is electrically connected to the battery pack to supply appropriate power to the vehicle according to the status signal provided by the battery pack. The automotive power supply device may further comprise an electronic device (generator) electrically connected to the main control module and activated by a DC voltage. The car power supply device may of course also include a computer system. The computer system is electrically connected to the main control module and is activated by using a DC voltage, and performs calculation according to the status signal and displays the state of the battery and the like. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a battery pack of a vehicle power supply device may include a battery pack, a monitoring module, and a communication interface. The battery pack consists of a plurality of batteries connected in series. The monitoring module is electrically connected to the battery pack to monitor the status of each battery in the battery pack and generate a status signal. The communication interface is electrically connected to the monitoring module, and sends a status signal to the main control module. The battery can be a cylindrical nickel-hydrogen battery cell or a square nickel-hydrogen battery cell or a nickel-hydrogen battery or a M409984 ion battery. Therefore, the battery pack and the vehicle power supply device proposed by the present invention can enable the user to grasp the parameters of the instantaneous battery pack, such as the capacity, etc., anytime and anywhere. In turn, proper maintenance measures or improper use habits can be taken to extend the life of the battery pack. And through the computer • system calculations can predict the remaining life of the battery pack for the user's reference. [Embodiment] φ Please refer to Figure 1. 1 is a functional block diagram of a vehicle power supply device 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The automotive power supply device 100 includes a battery pack 170, a main control module 130, an electronic device 150, and a computer system 140. The battery pack 170 further includes a battery pack 160, a monitoring module 110, and a communication interface 120. The battery pack 160 is formed by connecting a plurality of batteries 1 to N in series. More specifically, in the automotive power supply unit 100, the battery pack 170 is used to supply a DC voltage and provide a status signal to the main control module 130. Therefore, the battery-group 170 is electrically connected to the main control module 130. The main control module 130 configures appropriate power for the computer system 140 and the electronic device 150 of the automobile according to the status signal provided by the battery pack 170. The electronic device 150 in the car, such as a generator, is initially activated by a DC voltage. The computer system 140, starting from the DC voltage, can continue to operate by the power generated by the generator. In the battery pack 170, the battery pack 160 is composed of a plurality of batteries 1 to N connected in series. The monitoring module 110 is electrically connected to each of the batteries 1 to N in the battery pack 160 to monitor the state of each of the batteries 1 to N in the battery pack 160 and generate a status signal. The communication interface 120 is electrically connected to the monitoring module 110, and 6 ^ 409984 sends a status signal to the main control module 13 . , == by: the way of electrical connection 'and use a variety of induction like magnetic magnetic components, temperature sensing wafers, ammeters, etc. can take the capacity of each battery 1 ~ N, voltage, charge, ( _), "j two" read residual value (S0C), the degree of deterioration is strong, the dish is again scalloped, the performance and other battery parameters, and the wide signal is generated by this, and the status signal is further communicated by the external media. Control module 13 〇. Pass (four) face "n 叮屯 pool group line transmission ' This technology is a general-purpose technology, so it is not mentioned here. The main control module 130 can arrange and configure the power provided by the group 170 based on the status signal. For example, when a battery needs to be recharged, the status signal to ^ will indicate that it needs to be recharged, and the main control module will recharge the remaining current generated by the generator to the battery. On the other hand, if a battery is charged, the main control module will stop its relay, charge and send a warning sound through the computer system according to its status signal. In general, the batteries 1 to N can form a battery pack 160 using a nickel-hydrogen battery cell or a lithium ion battery. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3. This 2 is a schematic diagram of the battery pack 160 in the i-th figure. However, Figure 2 is a series of cylindrical nickel-niobium batteries, while Figure 3 is a series of nickel-metal hydride batteries connected in series. * In Fig. 2, each of the cylindrical nickel-hydrogen battery cells 24 has two ends, one end being a positive electrode 220 and the other end being a negative electrode 230. The metal sheets 210 are used to cause the majority of the cylindrical nickel-hydrogen battery cells 240 to be connected in series to form a battery pack. If the voltage of Uv is supplied to each of the round nickel-metal hydride battery cells 240, there will be 12v in series. The cylindrical nickel-hydrogen battery cells 240 can be firmly fixed by the upper strap 250 and the lower strap 26〇. Battery pack 2 (8) also contains wires. The M409984 can be electrically connected to an external circuit. In Fig. 3, each of the square nickel-hydrogen battery cells 340 also has two poles, that is, a positive electrode 330 and a negative electrode 320. The battery pack 300 is formed by a metal piece 310 in series with a square nickel-hydrogen battery cell 340. Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing the structure of the battery pack in Fig. 1. In FIG. 4, the battery pack 400 includes a battery pack 460, a monitoring module 410, and a communication surface 420, and further includes a cover 480 and a housing 490. The upper cover 480 has an opening. Pull out the physical line if necessary. It can be seen from the above-mentioned embodiment φ that the battery pack and the automobile power supply device proposed by the present invention can enable the user to grasp the parameters of the instantaneous battery pack, such as the electric capacity, etc., anytime and anywhere. In turn, proper maintenance measures or improper use habits can be taken to extend the life of the battery pack. The calculation of the computer system can estimate the remaining life of the battery pack for the user's reference.
