Definitions
- the present invention relates to a battery pack having a function of enabling communication through a network.
- a battery pack used as a portable power source for a portable personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a portable PC) is provided with a battery remaining amount display function and a battery protection function.
- a power management system such as a smart battery system that outputs data such as the remaining battery level to the PC and controls the battery pack from the PC is configured.
- a portable PC equipped with such a battery pack is connected to a LAN in a company or the like, and can collect and update necessary information from a management computer that performs maintenance management.
- the management computer can acquire the information of the battery pack from the portable PC.
- Information on the battery pack includes data such as the date of manufacture, serial number, battery capacity, and battery voltage. Can be specified.
- the battery pack information is in a communication format only between the battery pack and the portable PC, it must be converted to a data format that can be recognized on the network by the portable PC. Otherwise, the management computer cannot obtain the battery pack information. Also, information for use in maintenance and management is acquired at night so as not to hinder business using all computers including the portable PC, but the portable PC is turned off at night. is there In many cases, information cannot be obtained.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a battery pack having a unique address and a means for communicating with a network so that the battery pack itself can be connected to a network. Disclosure of the invention
- a battery pack includes: a secondary battery; battery management means for managing a charge / discharge state of the secondary battery; storage means for storing firmware and required data;
- the battery pack has a unique address such as TCP / IP, and has a unique address for identifying the network and a communication means using a predetermined network protocol. Equipped with a communication means such as a LAN interface that can be directly connected, so that battery pack information can be retrieved from a management computer on the network even when a device such as a portable PC with a battery pack is not operating.
- the maintenance management of the battery pack can be performed at any time by the management computer connected to the network. Can be.
- the communication means in the above configuration can be configured to have a communication function through a network constructed by power line carrier communication using a power line.
- the charger for charging the secondary battery of the battery pack and the AC adapter of the computer equipped with the battery pack are connected to the indoor electrical circuit.
- the power line can be used as a communication line without connecting another line for connection.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention and a PC to which the battery pack is attached.
- a portable personal convenience store used in a business office having a LAN is shown as an example, and a battery pack as a battery power source is shown.
- the PC 1 of the portable PC can be operated by selectively using the DC power supplied from the attached battery pack 2 or the DC power supplied from the AC adapter 10.
- the secondary battery 3 of the battery pack 2 is configured to be charged by the power supplied from the AC adapter 10.
- the PC main unit 1 is connected to the commercial power and connected to the LAN at a predetermined location such as in the office, etc., and is used by connecting to the client. Use in places is also possible.
- the PC main unit 1 and battery pack 2 are provided with TCP / IP network interfaces (communication means) 11 and 12 each having a unique IP address. It transmits and receives power management between PC body 1 and battery pack 2 and is connected to LAN connection cable 13.
- the battery pack 2 includes a secondary battery 3 in which a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries are combined so as to obtain a required voltage and capacity, and protects the secondary battery 3 from overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, and the like.
- the address space available in the current IPv4 requires L It is impossible to assign an address individually to the battery pack of each portable PC connected to the AN.
- IPv6 expanded to a 128-bit address space a battery pack 2 having a unique IP address becomes possible.
- the battery pack 2 has its own communication function, and the PC main unit 1 is not operating. However, it will be possible to make a communication connection to a computer connected to the network.
- the management computer in charge of maintenance provided on the LAN uses the data of the operating status of the battery pack 2 attached to each of a large number of portable PCs connected to the LAN to the operating status of the PC body 1. You can get it even if you don't have it. Therefore, it is possible to perform overnight collection for maintenance during the night when each PC is powered off, so that work is not hindered.
- TCP / IP is a standard protocol for the Internet, and various services on the Internet are based on TCPZIP. It has become. Therefore, the battery pack 2 can be obtained from any computer on the network without specifying the computer to be connected.
- the IP address is given by the battery pack manufacturer at the manufacturing stage, it can be treated as a serial number, and when a defect occurs in a predetermined manufacturing lot, the IP address is transmitted through the network. It will also be possible to find out the IP address of the relevant battery pack and transmit the necessary information.
- the LAN connections are made up of networks by the LAN connection cables 13, but signal transmission is carried on indoor power lines of commercial power without using the LAN connection cables 13. It is possible to construct a LAN by power line carrier communication used as a route.
- the operating power is obtained from the indoor electric circuit through the wiring connector, that is, the outlet, on the indoor electric circuit. Therefore, use the power cord to which the operating power is input from the outlet, and use the power cord from the PC body 1
- a LAN with power line transport that uses indoor power lines as signal transmission lines can be constructed.
- the connection of the PC main body 1 to the indoor electric circuit in the above configuration is connected to the indoor electric circuit from the AC adapter 110 through an outlet. In the AC adapter 110, signal transmission is impossible because the signal transmission path is interrupted by a transformer or the like.
- the AC adapter 110 connects the LAN terminal of the PC body 1 and the battery pack 2 to the power line, bypassing a component for cutting off the signal transmission path such as a transformer.
- the battery pack of the present invention includes communication means having a unique address and capable of directly connecting to a network, so that the device to which the battery pack is attached is not operating.
- the information of the battery pack can be taken out on the network, it is suitable for the maintenance management of the battery pack at any time by the management console connected to the network.
