Description

电池保护电路及其方法
【技术领域】
本发明涉及电池管理技术,特别是涉及一种应用于电池管理系统(battery management system,BMS)的电池保护电路及其方法。
【背景技术】
在电池应用过程中,由于外部意外原因,常会出现威胁到电池安全性的异常情况,例如过度充电、过度放电、过度大电流充放电等等。这些异常情况的出现,会极大地影响电池的使用寿命,甚至导致电池的漏液以及爆炸等严重情况。为了避免这些异常情况的出现,通常会在电池管理系统设置电池保护电路,以保护电池。
目前常用的电池保护电路主要有两种,一种是采用软件方式,其采用软件/MCU来采集电池的电压,并与预定阈值进行比较,然后做出相应的保护动作;而另一种是采用硬件方式,其采用比较器来提供固定的阈值,从而进行比较,然后做出相应的保护动作。
采用软件方式的电池保护电路比较灵活,其保护程序可以多次修改,且预定阈值可以根据不同的电池和需求而进行调整,但是其整体功耗较大,而且容易受到干扰,易出现误动作或者死机,从而无法再提供正常的保护。而采用硬件方式的电池保护电路比较稳定,但是不够灵活,其无法根据客户的实际需求而进行高效的调配以及参数的修改。
此外,为了保证电池安全性,某些电池管理系统中可能设置多个电池保护电路,例如使用两组硬件方式的电池保护电路,或者一个采用软件方式的电池保护电路和一个采用硬件方式的电池保护电路的组合,但是这种冗余保护的情况出现,会极大的增加系统设计的功耗和成本。

【附图说明】
图1为本发明一较佳实施例所揭示的电池保护电路的示意图;
图2为图1所示的硬件保护电路的具体示意图;
图3为图1所示的软件保护电路的具体示意图。
【具体实施方式】
为更进一步阐述本发明为达成预定发明目的所采取的技术手段及功效,以下结合附图及较佳实施例,对依据本发明提出的电池保护电路其具体实施方式、方法、步骤、结构、特征及其功效,详细说明如下。有关本发明的前述及其他技术内容、特点及功效,在以下配合参考图式的较佳实施示例的详细说明中将可清楚呈现。通过具体实施方式的说明,当可对本发明为达成预定目的所采取的技术手段及功效得以更加深入且具体的了解,然而所附图式仅是提供参考与说明之用,并非用来对本发明加以限制。
图1为本发明一较佳实施例所揭示的电池保护电路的示意图。如图1所示,本发明的电池保护电路100电性连接电池组200,以保护电池组200,其中电池保护电路100包括硬件保护电路110、软件保护电路120和电流检测电路130。
其中,硬件保护电路110是以硬件方式为电池组200提供保护。图2为硬件保护电路110的具体示意图。如图2所示,硬件保护电路110包括多个比较器111、参考电压源112和第一输出控制模块113。其中每个比较器111分别对应于电池组200中的一个对应的电池单元210,且每个比较器111的一输入端电性连接对应的电池单元210的正极,而其另一输入端通过参考电压源112而电性连接对应的电池单元210的负极,其输出端电性连接第一输出控制模块113。也就是说,每个比较器111的一个输入端采集对应的电池单元210的电压,而另一个输入端接收参考电压源112所提供的参考电压VREF,以参考电压作为固定的阈值,从而比较采集的对应电池单元210的电压和作为固定阈值的参考电压VREF以产生相应的结果。第一输出控制模块113接收比较器111的输出端所产生的比较结果从而执行相应的保护动作。此外,本领域技术人员可以理解的是,比较器输入的检测信号可能不是电池电压本身,而是经过其他电流路径后的缓冲电压或衰减电压;参考电压源112可以对电池单元210的负极设计,也可以对电池单元210的正极,或对地,或对其他任何电平设计。
软件保护电路120是以软件方式从而为电池组200提供保护,其可以利用单片机电路而实现。图3为软件保护电路120的具体示意图。如图3所示,软件保护电路120可包括模拟-数字转换模块121、阈值设定模块122、逻辑模块123和第二输出控制模块124。其中模拟-数字转换模块121用于采集电池组200中各个电池单元210的电压并将其转换为数字信号。阈值设定模块122用于供使用者设定预定的阈值,逻辑模块123用于比较阈值设定模块122所设定的预定阈值和模拟-数字转换模块121所产生的数字信号从而产生相应的比较结果,而第二输出控制模块124用于接收逻辑模块123所产生的比较结果从而执行相应的保护动作。
请继续参阅图1,电流检测电路130用于侦测电池组200是否处于工作状态,当电池组处于非工作状态时,则利用硬件保护电路110来执行保护操作;而当电池组处于工作状态时,则利用软件保护电路120来执行保护操作。
具体地,电流检测电路130包括检流元件131和电流检测模块132。在本实施例中,检流元件131可采用检流电阻而实现,且检流电阻131与电流检测模块132并联以利用电流检测模块132侦测是否有电流流经检流元件131。当电流检测模块132侦测到有电流流经检流元件131时,则表示电池组200处于工作状态,此时可激活软件保护电路120执行保护操作从而保护电池组200。而当电流检测模块132侦测到无电流流经检流元件131或电流小于设定阀值时,则表示电池组200处于非工作状态,此时是利用硬件保护电路110执行保护操作从而保护电池组200。此外,本领域技术人员可以理解的是,检流元件131也可以采用MOS管、电流镜像电路或电池本身等器件来实现。
也就是说,在本发明中,当电池组200不工作时,此时利用硬件保护电路110提供一般性的保护即可,而并不需要利用软件保护电路120来提供灵活复杂的保护,由于硬件保护电路110耗能较少,因此在电池组200不工作时(即处于静态模式下),本发明的电池保护电路100的能耗较少。
而当电池组200工作时,则可激活软件保护电路120来提供灵活复杂的保护,从而可以更好地保护电池组200,此时可关闭硬件保护电路110,从而也可减少电池保护电路100的能耗。
在本发明中,也可以将硬件保护电路110电性连接软件保护电路120以侦测软件保护电路120的状态。其中,硬件保护电路110可通过交换信号,例如图1所示A、B、C三路交互信号来侦测软件保护电路120的状态。如果软件保护电路120由于受干扰或者其他意外情况,出现锁死、无动作等异常状态时,则可立刻启动硬件保护电路110,从而利用硬件保护电路110执行保护操作以为电池组200提供绝对安全的保护。虽然在本实施例中,硬件保护电路110是通过A、B、C三路交互信号来侦测软件保护电路120的状态,但是本领域技术人员可以理解的是,硬件保护电路110也可以用一路交互信号或者其他任意路的交互信号来侦测软件保护电路120的状态。
综上所述,本发明的电池保护电路既包括硬件保护电路,也包括软件保护电路,且其可以利用电流检测模块来侦测电池组是否处于工作状态。当电池组处于非工作状态时,则利用硬件保护电路来为电池组提供保护,从而减少能耗;而当电池组处于工作状态时,则利用软件保护电路来为电池组提供灵活的保护。此外,本发明还会侦测软件保护电路的状态,当软件保护电路处于异常状态时,则开启硬件保护电路为电池组保护,因此本发明的电池保护电路可为电池组提供比较安全的保护。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
