第一实施例
图1是本发明第一实施例提供的串联电池的均衡充电电路的结构框图。所述串联电池的均衡充电电路用于对至少两个串联电池构成的电池组100进行可靠、安全地充电,并且结构简单、成本较低。请参考图1,本实施例的充电电路包括:控制单元10、开关单元11、侦测单元12、电压检测单元13。
具体地,电池组100包括多个正负极依次串联的单体电池T1-Tm(依次为第一电池、第二电池至第m电池)。
侦测单元12,与控制单元10和开关单元11电性相连,其中侦测单元 12包括一功率元件和侦测器,侦测单元12的侦测器用于侦测该功率元件两端的电压,并将侦测的功率元件两端的电压提供给控制单元10。
电压检测单元13,电性连接至电池组100和控制单元10,用于检测电池组中的每个电池的电压,并将检测的每个电池的电压提供给控制单元10。这里所指的每个电池的电压是指电池正负极的电压差,即每个电池上的压降,整个电池组的电压即为各个电池的电压之和。电压检测单元13可以为多个与电池数量相同的电压检测器,每一电压检测器电性连接至其中一个对应的电池的正极与负极,用于实时检测对应的一个电池的电压。
控制单元10,电性连接侦测单元12与电压检测单元13。控制单元10用于根据侦测单元12的侦测器提供的侦测的功率元件两端的电压计算出供电设备与电池组100之间的充电路径的充电电流,根据充电电流和/或电压检测单元13检测的每个电池的电压,发送相应的控制信号给开关单元11。具体地,控制单元10若判断出充电电流大于预设电流值时,则发送断开控制信号给开关单元11,或者当判断出电压检测单元检测的每个电池的电压大于预设电压值时,则发送断开控制信号给开关单元11,又或者只有当控制单元10若判断出充电电流大于预设电流值且判断出电压检测单元检测的每个电池的电压大于预设电压值时,发送断开控制信号给开关单元11。预设电流值可以根据电池的最大充电电流决定,例如,若充电电流超过1A会烧坏电池,则预设电流值可以设置为小于等于1A。预设电压值也可以根据电池的上限充电电压决定,例如,预设电压值可以为5V等数值。
其中,因每个串联电池都会有一个电压信号提供给控制单元10,充电过程中当所有的电池充满电时,控制单元10会通过采样的每个电池的电压来判断电池是否充满电,如果充满,控制单元10会提供一个控制信号给开关单元11,以使开关单元11关断充电模式,完成整个电池的充电过程,从而防止了电池的过充现象,提高了充电过程的安全性和可靠性。同时,还 在充电电流大于预设电流值时,则发送断开控制信号给开关单元11,以使开关单元11关断充电模式,从而防止了电池在充电过程中的过流现象。
