Description

一种充电装置、方法及相关设备
本申请要求于2022年3月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210294330.0、申请名称为“一种充电装置、方法及相关设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电池充电技术领域,尤其涉及一种充电装置、方法及相关设备。
背景技术
随着电子设备的高速发展,相关电池的技术也跟着飞跃发展。由于不同种类的电池的原理不同,导致每种类别电池的充电要求也各不相同。在目前电池有线充电领域中,基于降压(Buck)式变换电路进行充电的电池,在一个完整的充电周期中,均会经历恒压(Constant Voltage,CV)充电阶段。其中,恒压充电阶段是指充电电源针对电池的充电电压在该阶段的充电时间里保持恒定的数值(该数值可以理解为充电电压的电压值),且随着充电时间增加,电池模块电量逐渐升高,电池模块的电压也逐渐升高接近该充电电压。其中,在该恒压充电阶段下,当充电电流小于预设电流值时,即可认为该电池被充满电,从而充电过程截止。
因此,若在恒压充电阶段中,充电电压与电池预设的满充电压(即,电池充满电时的电压理想值)不一致,会导致电池截止充电后,电池最终充电截止时的电量与理想的满容量不一致。另外,这种实际电压超过预设的满充电压的情况,不仅可能会造成能源浪费并损害电池,也可能会导致电池爆炸;实际电压不足预设的满充电压的情况,则会导致电池无法充满的问题,进而影响续航。例如:以手机常用锂电池为例,以满充电压为基础,每降低10mV,电池的容量大约减少1%,从而续航也随之减小。
因此,如何调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压,是亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种充电装置、方法及相关设备,涉及电池充电技术领域,可以校准恒压充电阶段的充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航和用电安全。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种充电装置,应用于电子设备,上述电子设备包括电池模块,上述电池模块在充电过程中对应有恒压充电阶段;上述装置包括:充电控制单元和处理单元;上述充电控制单元,用于在上述恒压充电阶段时,向上述电池模块输出预设的第一电压;上述处理单元,用于在上述恒压充电阶段,获取上述电池模块的第二电压的电压值,并基于上述第二电压的电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息,其中,上述第二电压为上述电池模块在上述预设的第一电压下获得的实际充电电压;上述充电控制单元,用于基于上述调节信息,对上述预设的第一电压进行调节,向上述电池模块输出第三电压,上述第三电压为调节后的第一电压。
现有技术中,若在恒压充电阶段中的充电电压小于电池预设的满充电压,则会出现电池无法被充满的问题,进而影响电子设备的续航。而且,为了确保电池的充电电压不超过预设 满充电压(该预设满充电压可以理解为预设的电池满充电压),现有的调节方式往往会将电池的充电电压校准在预设满充电压以下,而且由于现有的调节方式无法消除诸如板级应力、温度、器件老化等因素对恒压充电电压的影响,因此会存在电池的实际充电电压与预设满充电压差距过大的情况,从而导致电子设备(如:手机、平板、智能手表、无线耳机等)在使用生命周期中无法使得电池电量无法达到理想的满容量,影响电子设备的续航甚至使用寿命。因此,本申请实施例提供了一种充电装置,应用于电池充电技术领域,可以在恒压充电阶段,调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航和用电安全。该充电装置包括:充电控制单元和处理单元,其中,上述充电控制单元在恒压充电阶段时,可以向电池模块输出预设的第一电压(该预设的第一电压为充电控制单元基于预设满充电压向电池模块输出的电压)。上述处理单元相当于电子设备中的处理单元、处理芯片或片上系统(System-on-a-chip,SOC)等,在恒压充电阶段时,可以获取恒压充电阶段内电池模块对应的第二电压的电压值(第二电压的电压值相当于在充电控制单元向电池模块输出当前预设的第一电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值);基于该第二电压的电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息;上述充电控制单元还可以根据上述调节信息对恒压充电阶段中预设的第一电压进行调节,并向上述电池模块输出第三电压(该第三电压为调节后的第一电压),使得在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压更接近预设满充电压,提高了电池的充电精度。而且,不会超过该预设满充电压。另外,本申请实施例中,通过获取充电过程中针对电池模块的充电电压,可以根据实际充电过程中各个因素的影响对当前电池模块的充电电压进行调节(即,本申请实施例中恒压充电阶段电池模块的充电电压会发生变化),不仅可以避免诸如板级应力、温度、器件老化等因素对电池模块在实际充电过程的影响,而且还可以在充电周期中对充电电压及时调整,使得处于当前充电周期中的电池可以达到理想的充电状态,避免了在充电完成后才发现电池未被充满,甚至充电电压过高的情况。因此,本申请实施例可以在恒压充电阶段,调节电池模块的实际充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述第三电压的电压值大于上述预设的第一电压的电压值。
在本申请实施例中,第三电压的电压值大于预设的第一电压的电压值,即对应的,在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值要大于向电池模块输出当前预设的第一电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值。也因此,以第三电压向电池模块充电结束后,满充的电池模块的容量要高于以预设的第一电压向电池模块充电结束后,满充的电池模块的容量,大大的加强了电子设备的续航。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述充电装置还包括检测单元;上述检测单元,用于检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。
在本申请实施例中,充电装置还包括检测单元,在恒压充电阶段,可以通过检测单元(如:高精度检测装置)用于检测第二电压的电压值。其中,该检测单元可以位于充电控制单元内部,处理单元内部或独立于充电控制单元和处理单元之外与电池模块耦合。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述检测单元为电量计;上述电量计,用于检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。
在本申请实施例中,检测单元可以为电子设备中的电量计,该电量计用于测量电池模块的相关参数(如:电池充电电流、电池实际充电电压等),因此,该电量计可以检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。通过利用电子设备中的现有器件检测第二电压的电压值,节省了电子设备硬件空间和成本。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述电量计,用于在上述电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度 范围内时,检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。
电子设备的温度的变化会影响到电量计获取的第二电压的精度,因此,在本申请实施例中,在获取第二电压的电压值前,还需要确定当前电子设备对应的温度,在电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,该电量计获取的充电电压的电压值是可信的。也因此,在后续调节过程中,调节后的充电电压精度更准确。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述调节信息包括第一调节量,上述第一调节量为所述第二电压的电压值与预设电压值之间的差值。
在本申请实施例中,调节信息是针对预设的第一电压的调节信息,该预设电压值为预设满充电压的电压值,若确定电池模块在该预设第一电压下接收到的实际充电电压达不到预设满充电压,则可以根据该预设满充电压调节预设的第一电压,从而使得电池模块接收到的实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之提升至预设满充电压。例如:对预设的第一电压增加10mV则电池模块接收到实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之增加10mV。
在一种可能实现的方式中,基于上述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。
在本申请实施例中,基于第二电压的电压值(实际充电电压的电压值)和电池模块对应的预设电压值之间的大小关系,确定调节预设的第一电压,可以使得电池最终充电截止时的电量更接近理想的电池满容量,从而提高电池的续航能力。而且可以避免因实际充电电压大于电池的预设满充电压而引发的安全隐患,保证充电周期中的充电安全。
在一种可能实现的方式中,所述处理单元,具体用于:获取多个时间点分别对应的所述第二电压的电压值;对比多个时间点中每个时间点对应的所述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值之间大小,获得所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值;基于所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值,确定所述调节信息。
在本申请实施例中,根据获取的多个第二电压的电压值与上述预设电压值之间的差值,确定校准充电电压的调节信息,可以减少仅获取一个充电电压值时的误差,从而在后续校准过程中,使得调节的充电电压更准确。其中,多个时间点中每相邻两个时间点之间的时间间隔相等。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述检测单元,还用于检测第一电流的电流值,并发送至上述处理单元,其中,上述第一电流为上述电池模块在上述预设的第一电压下相应的充电电流;上述处理单元,具体用于基于上述第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定上述调节信息。
在本申请实施例中,检测单元不仅用于检测当前预设的第一电压下电池模块对应的充电电压的电压值(第二电压的电压值)还用于检测当前的第一电流的电流值。处理单元还可以基于获取到的第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定上述调节信息。另外该检测单元还可以是电量计。
在一种可能实现的方式中,上述调节信息包括第二调节量,上述第二调节量为上述预设的第一电压随上述第一电流变化的变化量,且与第一电流正相关。
在本申请实施例中,充电控制单元可以包括充电芯片,通过该充电芯片输出的第四电压向电池模块充电,其中,该充电芯片与电池模块之间可以通过如导线等连接,由于导线存在阻抗,因此该充电芯片输出的第四电压会被上述阻抗分压。也即,该预设的第一电压可以理解为第四电压经过上述阻抗后输入上述电池模块的电压。因此,充电装置可以基于上述阻抗分压的电压对充电芯片输出的第四电压进行补偿,进而实现对预设的第一电压的调节。另外 由于恒压充电阶段需要保持电池模块的充电电压稳定,所以随着充电时间增加,电池模块电量逐渐升高,第一电流会逐渐减小,也因此上述阻抗分压的电压也会逐渐减小。故针对预设的第一电压的调节信息中的第二调节量为预设的第一电压随上述第一电流变化的变化量,且与第一电流正相关。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供了一种恒压充电电压调节方法,应用于电子设备,所述电子设备包括电池模块,所述电池模块在充电过程中对应有恒压充电阶段;在所述恒压充电阶段时,所述方法包括:通过充电控制单元向所述电池模块输出预设的第一电压;通过处理单元获取上述电池模块的第二电压的电压值,并基于所述第二电压的电压值,获得所述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。其中,上述第二电压为上述电池模块在上述预设的第一电压下获得的实际充电电压;通过所述充电控制单元基于所述调节信息,对所述预设的第一电压进行调节,向所述电池模块输出第三电压,上述第三电压为调节后的第一电压。

首先,为了便于理解本申请实施例,以下具体分析本申请实施例所需要解决的技术问题以及应用场景。
现有技术中,现有的电子设备在与充电适配器(如:充电器)连接之后,充电适配器可以通过电子设备中的充电芯片给电池充电。其中,使得在后续充电过程中,充电芯片可以在相关阶段控制对应的电压或电流保持不变。例如:在恒压充电阶段时,该充电芯片可以向电池输出恒定的充电电压,并随着充电时间的增加,电池模块的电压也逐渐升高接近充电电压,在恒压充电阶段下,充电电流小于预设电流值时,即可认为该电池被充满电,从而充电过程截止。
其中,请参考附图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种现有电子设备中电池充电的电路示意图。如图1所示,充电芯片向电池模块输出充电电压,该输出的充电电压V1会由于等效电阻R(即,充电过程中存在的阻抗)发生压降,最终施加至电池模块的充电电压V2要小于充电芯片输出的充电电压V1。即由图1所示电路可知,充电芯片输出的充电电压V1、电池充电电压V2,与充电电流I、等效电阻R之间的关系,可以用如下公式表示:V1=V2+V3=V2+I*R,也即:V2=V1-I*R。其中,充电芯片输出的充电电压V1是充电芯片基于预设满充电压(也可以理解为预先配置的电池满充电压)输出的电压。
另外,由于电子设备内部的板级(printed circuit board,PCB)走线、电池连接器或充电连接导线等中存在的额外阻抗,使得充电芯片输出的充电电压V1会与电池模块实际获得的充电电压V2存在偏差。另外,在恒压充电阶段下,当充电电流小于预设电流值时,即可认为该电池被充满电,从而充电过程截止。
因此,为了控制充电过程中电池的实际充电电压与预设的满充电压一致。现有技术通常针对以下两个方面对充电芯片输出的充电电压进行调节:
(一)针对充电芯片中预设满充电压
充电芯片中预设满充电压即是在充电芯片预先配置的电池充电电压。在充电过程中的阻抗为0时,充电芯片输出的充电电压可以全部输出至电池模块(即,V1=V2),但此时充电芯片输出的充电电压V1往往会因为诸如板级应力、温度、器件老化等因素与充电芯片中预先配置的电池充电电压(预设满充电压)不一致,进而导致在实际充电过程中电池模块的充电电压无法达到预设的满充电压,从而使得电池模块最终充电截止时的电量无法达到理想的满容量。针对该方面现有技术往往通过以下两种方式对充电芯片中预先配置的电池充电电压进 行调节,其中:
方式一:在充电芯片生产后可以通过芯片集成电路自动测试装备(Automatic Test Equipment,ATE)可以实现对充电芯片控制的恒压充电阶段的恒压充电电压进行校准,使得校准后的充电芯片在恒压充电接单控制恒压充电电压时可以尽可能的接近预设满充电压。其中,在校准过程中,芯片集成电路自动测试装备配备有高精密电源(误差在±1mV范围内),以测试出充电芯片在恒压充电阶段控制的恒压充电电压的实际值与目标值(即,预设的满充电压)之间的差值,根据该差值计算修调码,进而将修调码可以烧写进芯片内部,以通过该修调码在实际充电过程中对充电电压进行补偿,而且由于该修调码是直接被烧写进芯片内部的,因此可以在实际充电过程中上述补偿可以永久生效。
但是上述方式一有以下缺点:
1、在电子设备的制造过程中,充电芯片上板后恒压充电电压精度会因为各种连接关系(即,存在有连接阻抗)以及生产工艺等因素产生畸变,此前对该充电芯片进行校正的修调码并不能解决该问题,需要在预先校准门限(即,校准误差)中预留该偏差范围,从而导致在电子设备实际应用过程中,充电电压不能够达到预设的满充电压。
2、电子设备在充电过程中,温度会发生变化,从而导致充电芯片在全温环境下工作时会产生温漂误差,该温漂误差也会导致恒压充电阶段的恒压充电电压不能够达到预设的满充电压,同样也不能够通过先前的芯片集成电路自动测试装备进行校准,也需要在预先校准门限中预留该偏差范围。
因此,以智能终端为例,上述两种偏差(充电芯片畸变和温漂误差)要求ATE预先校准门限电压至少留有约±0.5%裕量,约±25mV,按下限计的算,实际的电池满充电压减少50mV,约合容量减少5%。
方式二:在电子设备的生产线上,增加相关的校准装置进行校准。例如:在电子设备的生产线上,外接一套程控电源模拟电池,模拟充电流程,测试实际充电截止电压值(相当于恒压充电电压),再计算电池标称值和实际充电截止电压值的差值,根据该差值调整寄存器配置,对电子设备的充电芯片进行校准调修,再次功能复测后可以出厂使用。
但是上述方式二有以下缺点:
1、产线上需要校准工位和复测工位等生产资源,会造成测试时间长,成本高。
2、全温度范围内温漂误差较大,在生产线校准时也需要考虑实际使用时温度的影响,在预先校准门限上留有较大裕量。
3、芯片在使用后期会产生老化畸变,在生产线上的校准方式并不能解决该问题,只能在预先校准门限中预留该偏差范围。
因此,以智能终端为例,上述偏差要求预先校准门限电压至少留有约±0.3%裕量,约±15mV,按下限计算,实际的电池满充电压减少30mV,约合容量减少3%。
综上所述,现有技术中无法保证在实际充电过程中,充电芯片输出的充电电压达到理想充电电压。
(二)针对充电芯片中预先配置的阻抗
其中,在充电过程中的实际阻抗(相当于图1所示的等效电阻R)不为0时,会由于实际阻抗存在只有部分充电电压给电池模块充电,充电芯片输出的充电电压无法全部输出至电池模块。现有的充电芯片为了解决充电过程中存在有额外阻抗导致电池模块充电电压被分压的问题,在恒压充电阶段,通常会采用IR补偿的方式,对充电过程中的阻抗进行电压补偿, 尽可能的使得充电芯片中输出的充电电压全部输出至电池模块。其中,该IR补偿的方式具体是指:充电芯片根据被预先配置的补偿电阻R值(即,相当于预设的等效电阻R值)和实际充电过程中的电流值,计算得到充电过程的阻抗对应的补偿电压值,在充电芯片的预设满充电压的基础上,按照上述补偿电压值,将充电芯片实际输出电压抬高,使得输出至电池模块的充电电压更接近预设满充电压。
但是在实际充电过程中,由于板级差异、器件离散性等原因会造成充电过程的实际阻抗会在一定范围内波动,因此为了防止过补偿导致电池出现过充等安全问题,补偿电阻R值通常按较低值配置甚至并不配置,这样就导致对于存在有阻抗或实际阻抗偏大的电子设备来说,电池模块的实际充电电压仍低于预设满充电压,从而使得电池电量仍然无法达到理想的满容量。
因此,为了解决上述两种缺陷,尽可能的保证在充电过程中恒压充电阶段的电池的实际充电电压与预设的满充电压一致。本申请实施例提供了一种在电子设备中每次充电过程中自动调节恒压充电电压的充电装置。其中,该充电装置包括处理单元和充电控制单元,该处理单元,用于在上述恒压充电阶段时,获取第二电压的电压值,第二电压为电池模块在预设的第一电压下获得的实际充电电压;基于第二电压的电压值,获得预设的第一电压对应的调节信息;上述充电控制单元,用于基于上述调节信息,对上述恒压充电阶段输出的充电电压进行调节,然后以调节后的充电控制单元输出的充电电压向上述电池进行充电。该装置可以在恒压充电阶段根据电池模块的实际充电电压对充电装置输出的充电电压进行调节,使得本申请实施例的实际充电电压在安全范围内更加接近预设的满充电压,保证电子设备的用电续航和用电安全。

基于上述提出的技术问题以及本申请中对应的应用场景,也为了便于理解本申请实施例,下面先对本申请实施例所基于的其中一种电子设备进行描述。请参阅图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种电子设备结构示意图。如图2所示,本申请中的电子设备01可以包括图2中的充电装置100和电池模块200,其中,电子设备01可以通过充电适配器(未图示)与电源02连接,该电源02为电子设备01中的电池模块200提供电量。其中,
电池模块200为可充放电的电池,可向电子设备01的各种组件提供电力。在一个实施例中,电池模块200可以为可再充电铅酸电池、镍镉电池、镍铁电池、镍氢电池、锂离子电池 等。这种电池的一个或多个电池组可被配置为电源为电子设备01的各种组件提供电力。另外,本申请实施例对电池模块200的容量不作具体的限制,例如:电池模块200的容量可以为20000mAh、10000mAh、4400mAh、100mAh等。其中,该电池模块200的容量与电池模块200的满充电压相关。
充电装置100,可以从充电适配器(如:充电器)接收电源02的充电输入,并向电池模块200进行充电。充电装置100可以控制充电过程中的充电电压和充电电流的大小;还可以在充电截止(End Of Charge,EOC)条件满足时,停止向电池充电,并指示该电池模块充电完成。另外,在本申请实施例中,充电装置100可以在所述恒压充电阶段时,以预设的第一电压向电池模块充电,该预设的第一电压为充电装置基于预设满充电压向电池模块输出的电压。还可以根据电池模块的实际充电电压的反馈,调节上述恒压充电阶段预设的充电电压,以保证电子设备在用电安全的同时提高电子设备的续航能力。其中,针对充电装置100调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压的具体描述,可以对应参考下述相关的装置实施例,本申请实施例在此暂不赘述。
需要说明的是,尽管图2功能性地图示了电子设备中的充电装置和电池模块,但是本领域的普通技术人员应该理解该充电装置实际上可以包括存储在相同或不同的物理外壳内的多个处理器、或控制硬件电路。因此,对充电装置的引用将被理解为包括对可以或者可以不并行操作的处理器或计算机或存储器的集合的引用。不同于使用单一的处理器来执行此处所描述的步骤,诸如充电装置内的一些组件每个都可以具有其自己的处理器,所述处理器只执行与特定于组件的功能相关的计算。
可以理解的是,图2中的电子设备架构示意图只是本申请实施例中的一种示例性的实施方式,本申请实施例中的电子设备架构包括但不仅限于以上电子设备架构。
基于上述图2所示的电子设备为例,本申请实施例提供一种应用于上述电子设备中的充电装置100,请参见图3,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种充电装置的结构示意图,如图3所示,该电子设备01的充电装置100可以包括:处理单元101和充电控制单元102,还可以包括检测单元103。
处理单元101相当于电子设备中的处理单元、处理芯片或片上系统(System-on-a-chip,SOC)等。在本申请实施例中,处理单元101,用于在所述恒压充电阶段,获取电池模块的第二电压的电压值,并基于所述第二电压的电压值,确定预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。其中,所述第二电压为所述电池模块200在所述预设的第一电压下获得的实际充电电压。处理单元101,还可以用于将该调节信息发送至充电控制单元102中。其中,关于处理单元101获取第二电压的方式可以对应参考下述实施例针对检测单元103的相关描述,本申请实施例在此暂不赘述。
在其他一些实施例中,上述处理单元101功能也可以设置于充电控制单元102中,即处理单元101也可以是充电控制单元中的一个处理模块,对此本申请实施例不做具体的限定。
充电控制单元102用于从充电适配器(如:充电器)接收电源02的充电输入,并向电池模块200输出充电电压,以给电池模块200进行充电。在本申请实施例中,充电控制单元102还用于在所述恒压充电阶段时,向所述电池模块输出预设的第一电压;并在接收到调节信息后,基于所述调节信息,对所述恒压充电阶段输出的所述预设的第一电压进行调节,向所述电池模块200输出第三电压,其中,该第三电压为调节后的第一电压。其中,充电适配器为有线充电适配器。在一些有线充电的实施例中,充电控制单元102可以通过如:USB接口、 USB Type C接口、Lightning接口、Combo Connector接口、联合充电系统(Combined Charging System,CCS)等接口接收有线充电适配器的充电输入,对此本申请实施例并不做具体的限定。
可选的,充电装置向电池模块输出的第三电压大于其输出的预设的第一电压,即,第三电压的电压值大于上述预设的第一电压的电压值。可以理解的是,充电装置是将第一电压向调高的方向调节,使得电池对应的第二电压更接近预设满充电压,从而提高了充电电压的精度,提高了满充电池的续航能力。因此,请参考附图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种恒压充电阶段电池对应的电流电压示意图。如图4所示,第三电压使得电池对应的实际充电电压(即,第二电压)更接近预设的满充电压。即对应的,在充电控制单元102向电池模块输出第三电压时电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值要大于向电池模块输出预设的第一电压时电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值。也因此,以第三电压向电池模块充电,在充电结束后,满充的电池模块的容量要高于以预设的第一电压向电池模块充电结束后满充的电池模块的容量,大大的加强了电子设备的续航。另外,也如图4所示,在本申请实施例中,电子设备的电池模块在恒压充电阶段对应的充电电压会发生变化。
需要说明的是,若实际充电电压(第二电压)超过电池模块对应的预设满充电压,则可能会造成安全隐患,因此,本申请实施例需要在电池对应的安全范围内对充电电压进行调节。
可选的,上述充电装置还包括检测单元103;上述检测单元103,用于检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元101。检测单元103可以用于测量电池模块200的电池电压、实际充电电压和第一电流等,并还可以将测量到的相关数据(如:充电电压、充电电流等)发送至处理单元101中。其中,检测单元103可以是高精度的电压电流测量装置。在一些实施例中,还可以用于监测电池容量,电池循环次数,获取电池健康状态(漏电,阻抗)等参数。另外,该检测单元103可以是独立于充电控制单元102的器件或硬件电路(如图2所示),还可以是充电控制单元102内部的一个测量模块或部分硬件电路,对此,本申请实施例并不做具体的限制。
可选的,上述检测单元103可以为电量计;该电量计,用于检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。检测单元103可以为电子设备中的电量计,该电量计用于测量电池模块的相关参数(如:电池充电电流、电池实际充电电压等),因此,该电量计可以检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。在本申请实施例中,通过利用电子设备中的现有器件检测第二电压的电压值,可以节省电子设备硬件空间和成本。
可选的,上述电量计,用于在上述电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。电子设备的温度的变化会影响到电量计获取的第二电压的精度,请参考下述表1,表1是本申请实施例提供的一种电量计在不同温度下的精度示意表。
表1:电量计的精度示意表
如上述表1所示,电量计工作条件是指:电量计的电压测量范围在3V-4.4V,并且当电子设备的温度范围在25℃±10℃时,电量计电压检测的精度偏差可以达到±0.5mV的高精度; 当电子设备的温度范围在-25℃~85℃时,电量计电压检测的精度偏差可以达到±10mV的精度;另外,电量计的电流测量范围大于等于200mA,当电子设备的温度范围在-25℃~85℃时,电流检测可以达到±1.5%的高精度。
因此,在通过电量计获取第二电压的电压值前,还需要确定当前电子设备对应的温度,在电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,该电量计获取的充电电压的电压值是可信的。也因此,在后续调节过程中,调节后的充电电压精度更准确。
其中,关于电子设备温度的检测可以通过热敏电阻来实现,该热敏电阻在电子设备的温度发生变化时,其电阻的大小也会随之变化,从而在流经该热敏电阻的电流不变的情况下,根据欧姆定律,其施加在该热敏电阻上的电压也会随之变化。本申请实施例可以通过监测热敏电阻对应的电压大小,从而确定当前热敏电阻的阻值,在根据该阻值大小确定该阻值对应的温度大小,从而实现电子设备的温度检测。
可选的,上述调节信息包括第一调节量,上述第一调节量为第二电压的电压值与预设电压值之间的差值。其中,调节信息是针对预设的第一电压的调节信息,该预设电压值可以理解为预设满充电压的电压值,若确定电池模块在该预设第一电压下接收到的实际充电电压达不到预设满充电压,则可以根据该实际充电电压调节预设的第一电压,从而使得电池模块接收到的实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之提升至上述预设满充电压。例如:对预设的第一电压增加10mV则电池模块接收到实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之增加10mV。
又例如,上述充电控制单元102可以包括充电芯片,上述充电芯片的输出端与上述电池模块的输入端连接,即,上述预设的第一电压可以理解为上述充电芯片根据预设满充电压向电池模块输出的电压。也因此,在理想状态(不考虑上板差异影响、阻抗等因素或理想矫正充电芯片后)下,充电芯片可以向电池模块完全输出预设满充电压,则电池模块的实际充电电压可以达到预设满充电压,即,预设的第一电压(预设满充电压)=第二电压。但是,在实际应用过程中,充电芯片上板后由于误差因素(如:充电芯片畸变和温漂误差等)的影响,充电芯片基于预设满充电压实际输出的充电电压会与预设满充电压存在偏差,即,预设的第一电压(预设满充电压)>第二电压。因此,上述第一调节量是在预设的第一电压的基础上补偿第二电压与预设满充电压之间的差值。
可选的,所述第一调节量可以包括对电压(如:预设满充电压)进行调节的档位信息,该档位信息对应的电压值对应第三电压的电压值。在一些可能的实施例中,该档位信息可以包括粗调档位信息和细调档位信息,其中,粗调档位信息中相邻档位之间的电压调节幅度大于细调档位信息中相邻档位之间的电压调节幅度。例如:请参考附图5,图5是本申请实施例提供的一种档位信息的示意图。如图5所示,标识信息(或地址信息)010100指示的粗调档位4400mV对应于电压4400mV,该标识信息(或地址信息)010100指示的粗调档位4400mV还对应有20个细调档位,经过细调功能,可扩展每个粗调档位±10mV的调节范围,即4390mV~4410mV。则第一调节量携带的档位信息可以包括调节后的电压分别对应的粗调档位信息和细调档位信息。
可选的,所述第一调节量还可以包括步进的标识信息和步进的调节数量,该步进为充电装置支持调节电压(如:预设满充电压)的幅度,可以包括:20mV/step(20mV每步进)、10mV/step、5mV/step和1mV/step等。即意味着,当电压调节幅度为20mV/step时,在调节第四电压时,可以确定单次可调节的电压幅度为20mV。例如:当前第四电压的大小是4400mV,充电装置确定的调节后的第四电压的大小是4425mV,则充电装置需要在当前第四电压的基础上向上调节1个20mV/step和5个1mV/step的电压幅度。此时,第一调节量可以直接包括 20mV/step和1mV/step分别对应的标识信息,以及20mV/step和1mV/step分别对应的调节数量,其中,请参考附图6,图6是本申请实施例提供的另一种档位信息的示意图,如图6所示:20mV/step的档位中增加1个20mV对应的是上述图5所示的粗调档位信息010101的4420mV;1mV/step的档位中增加5个1mV对应的是上述图5所示的细调档位信息4425mV。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第一调节量的具体携带的信息,以及调节电压的调节方式不作具体的限制。
可选的,处理单元101可以用于基于上述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值之间的大小关系,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。基于第二电压的电压值(实际充电电压的电压值)和预设电压值(即,预设满充电压的电压值)之间的大小关系,确定调节预设的第一电压,可以使得电池最终充电截止时的电量更接近理想的电池满容量,从而提高电池的续航能力。而且可以避免因实际充电电压大于电池的预设满充电压而引发的安全隐患,保证充电周期中的充电安全。
可选的,处理单元101,具体用于:获取多个时间点分别对应的所述第二电压的电压值;对比多个时间点中每个时间点对应的所述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值之间大小,获得所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值;基于所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值,确定所述调节信息。根据获取的多个第二电压的电压值与上述预设电压值之间的差值,确定校准充电电压的调节信息,可以减少仅获取一个充电电压值时的误差,从而在后续校准过程中,使得调节的充电电压更准确。其中,多个时间点中每相邻两个时间点之间的时间间隔相等。例如:请参考附图7,图7是本申请实施例提供的一种基于上述图4检测恒压充电阶段电池对应电流和电压的示意图。电量计可以在上述电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,周期性的检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。电子设备的温度的变化会影响到电量计获取的第二电压的精度,而周期性的获取多个第二电压的电压值,对比该多个第二电压的电压值与预设电压值之间的大小关系,获得多个差值,再根据该多个差值的平均值确定的调节信息,精度更高。
可选的,在电池模块的充电过程进行到恒压充电阶段时,充电控制单元102可以提示检测单元103检测电池模块的实际充电电压(即第二电压)的电压值,基于上述实际充电电压的电压值和预设电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息,即调节信息中的第一调节量。因此,本申请实施例可以使得电池最终充电截止时的电量更接近理想的电池满容量,从而可以使得电池的实际满充电压更接近预设满充电压,提高电池的续航能力。而且可以避免因实际充电电压大于电池的预设满充电压而引发的安全隐患,保证充电周期中的充电安全。
可选的,上述检测单元103,还用于检测第一电流的电流值,并发送至上述处理单元,其中,上述第一电流为上述电池模块在上述预设的第一电压下相应的充电电流;上述处理单元,具体用于基于上述第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定上述调节信息。检测单元103不仅用于检测当前预设的第一电压下电池模块对应的充电电压的电压值(第二电压的电压值)还用于检测当前的第一电流的电流值。处理单元101还可以基于获取到的第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定上述调节信息。另外该检测单元还可以是电量计。
可选的,上述调节信息包括第二调节量,上述第二调节量为上述充电芯片输出的上述第四电压随上述充电电流变化的变化量,且与充电电流正相关。充电控制单元可以包括充电芯片,通过该充电芯片输出的第四电压向电池模块充电,其中,该充电芯片与电池模块之间可以通过如导线等连接,由于导线存在阻抗,因此该充电芯片输出的第四电压会被上述阻抗分压。也即,该预设的第一电压可以理解为第四电压经过上述阻抗后输入上述电池模块的电压。 因此,充电装置可以基于上述阻抗分压的电压对充电芯片输出的第四电压进行补偿,进而实现对预设的第一电压的调节。另外由于恒压充电阶段需要保持电池模块的充电电压稳定,所以随着充电时间增加,电池模块电量逐渐升高,第一电流会逐渐减小,也因此上述阻抗分压的电压也会逐渐减小。故针对预设的第一电压的调节信息中的第二调节量为预设的第一电压随上述第一电流变化的变化量,且与第一电流正相关。
可以理解的是,上述充电控制单元102可以包括充电芯片,上述充电芯片的输出端与上述电池模块的输入端连接。由于电子设备内部的板级(printed circuit board,PCB)走线、电池连接器或充电连接导线等中存在的额外阻抗,使得充电芯片输出的充电电压会与电池模块实际获得的充电电压存在偏差(如上述图1所示的相关实施例)。因此,在本申请实施例中,可以将充电过程中存在的额外阻抗全部等同为等效电阻,上述充电芯片的输出端通过该等效电阻与上述电池模块的输入端连接。
也因此,请参考附图8,图8是本申请实施例提供的另一种充电装置的结构示意图,如图8所示,该充电控制单元102还可以包括充电芯片111和等效阻抗112。等效阻抗112可以包括第一端A和第二端B,其中,等效阻抗112的第一端A与充电芯片111的输出端连接,等效阻抗112的第二端B与电池模块200的输入端连接。也因此,上述预设的第一电压VB0为VA0经过上述等效阻抗112后输入上述电池模块200的电压,上述VA0为上述充电芯片111根据预设满充电压V0理论上输出的电压,即,此时VA0可以理解为V0,VA0=V0。因此,在充电芯片111考虑到等效阻抗112分压的情况下,采用上述IR补偿的方式,在充电芯片的预设满充电压V0的基础上,按照等效阻抗112对应的补偿电压值,将充电芯片的输出电压抬高,则上述预设的第一电压VB0和VA0之间的关系用公式表达为:VA0=VB0+I*R0(其中,I为第一电流的电流值,第一电流为所述电池模块在所述预设的第一电压下对应的充电电流;R0为等效阻抗的预先配置值)。
另外,该等效阻抗112等效于充电芯片于电池模块之间存在的实际阻抗(相当于上述图1所示的等效电阻R),即,充电芯片与电池模块之间需要通过如导线等连接,该导线存在着线路阻抗;而且在导线与电池模块之间的接入端,以及导线和充电芯片的接出端也都存在有阻抗,因此充电芯片输出充电电压需要经过一系列的阻抗降压后才能作用于该电池模块,因此,上述等效阻抗112等效于充电芯片111与电池模块200之间的全部阻抗。
首先,需要说明的是,如上述图8所示,在实际应用过程中,充电芯片111上板后由于误差因素(如:充电芯片畸变和温漂误差等)的影响,充电芯片111基于预设满充电压输出的实际电压VA会与预设满充电压V0存在偏差,即,第四电压VA可以理解为上述充电芯片111实际输出的电压。第二电压为电池模块200的实际充电电压,即,第二电压VB为第四电压VA经过上述等效阻抗112后输入上述电池模块的充电电压值。充电芯片111考虑到等效阻抗112的实际分压情况,采用上述IR补偿的方式,按照等效阻抗112实际对应的补偿电压值,将充电芯片的实际输出电压(即:实际的第四电压VA)抬高,则上述第二电压VB和第四电压VA之间的关系可以用公式表达为:VA=VB+I*R1(R1为等效阻抗的实际电阻值)。
可以理解的是,上述预设的第一电压VB0,上述VA0分别为第二电压VB,第四电压VA的理论值,即,在不存在上板误差、等效阻抗112的预设配置值与实际电阻值相等的情况下,可以认为预设的第一电压VB0等于第二电压VB,上述VA0等于第四电压VA。因此,上述第一调节量可以理解为上述充电芯片输出的固定变化量。该固定变化量是针对充电芯片中预设满充电压进行调节的信息,尽可能的使第二电压的电压值VB与预设满充电压V0一致。对充电芯片111中预设满充电压V0进行增加可以使得第四电压的实际电压值VA也随之增加,进 而在等效阻抗的分压比例(即电阻值)不变的情况下,第二电压的电压值VB也随之增加,而且该增加的电压大小(即第一调节量)不会随充电电流的变化而变化,因此,该第一调节量可以理解为固定变化量,调节的作用是在原充电芯片输出电压的基础上实现固定值偏差。
其次,需要说明的是,在恒压充电阶段,充电控制单元102需要保持针对电池模块200的充电电压不变(即,第二电压VB不变),所以随着电池端的电池电压逐渐增加,针对电池模块200的充电电流是逐渐减小的,因此,如上述图8所示的实施例中的公式所示:VA=VB+I*R1,由于等效阻抗112的阻值不会发生变化,所以实际的第四电压VA和第二电压的电压值VB的压差逐渐减小,因此,本申请实施例可以针对等效阻抗112实际电阻值的大小对电池模块的充电电压进行补偿调节时,其第二调节量的大小是实时变化的,且与充电电流正相关。
其次,由于充电芯片111输出的第四电压VA需要经过上述等效阻抗112(该等效阻抗的大小为实际电阻的大小,且大于0)后,才输入上述电池模块200,则可以理解的,充电芯片111输出的第四电压VA需要对上述等效阻抗112分压进行补偿,才能使第二电压VB达到预设满充电压(也即理想的电池满充电压)。因此,故当I为电池充电电流值,第四电压VA为充电芯片111实际输出电压值,R0为等效阻抗112的预先配置值,Vmax为考虑了安全阈值后的预设满充电压的电压值(即预设电压值),R1为等效阻抗112实际阻抗值,VA-Rint为R0值为0时的充电芯片111实际输出电压值,VA-Rint也可以理解为是充电芯片111的预设满充电压V0在上板后的真实电压值时,上述变量满足如下关系式:
VA=VA-Rint+I*R0;VA=VB+I*R1(上述图8所示的实施例中的公式);
根据上述公式,可以求得电池模块实际充电电压VB的表达式如下:
VB=VA–I*R1=VA-Rint+I*(R0–R1)=VA-Rint+I*δ,其中,δ=R0–R1。
由上述关系式可以对等效阻抗对应的修调值进行计算。
Vx、Vx-1分别为前后两次采集到的电池模块对应的充电电压(即,第二电压的电压值VB),Ix、Ix-1分别为前后两次采集到的电池模块在Vx、Vx-1下对应的充电电流。
Vx=VA-Rint+Ix*δ;Vx-1=VA-Rint+Ix-1*δ;
由上述两个公式可知,可以求得默认配置的R0与实际R1的差值δ为δ=ΔVx/ΔIx;其中ΔVx=Vx-Vx-1、ΔIx=Ix-Ix-1
综上所述,本申请实施例中的处理单元101可以根据至少两组的第二电压的电压值和充电电流的电流值,获得电子设备中的等效阻抗112的实际电阻值R1与充电芯片111中预先配置的等效阻抗112的电阻值R0的差值,并根据该差值对充电芯片111输出的第四电压进行补偿,使得第二电压的电压值VB经过等效阻抗112的分压后达到预设满充电压。例如:恒压充电阶段中,获取两组电池模块充电电压和充电电流,计算确定阻抗补偿的差值,以确定充电控制单元针对阻抗的电压补偿值。
可选的,所述第二调节量可以包括对等效阻抗112分压的电压进行调节的电阻档位信息,该电阻档位信息对应的电阻值为电子设备中等效阻抗112的实际电阻值,以校正充电芯片111中原先配置的电阻值。在一些可能的实施例中,该电阻档位信息也可以包括电阻粗调档位信息和电阻细调档位信息,其中,电阻粗调档位信息中相邻档位之间的电阻调节幅度大于电阻细调档位信息中相邻档位之间的电阻调节幅度。例如:请参考附图9,图9是本申请实施例提供的一种电阻档位信息的示意图。如图9所示,标识信息(或地址信息)011指示的电阻粗调档位45mohm(毫欧姆)对应的电阻值为45mohm,该标识信息(或地址信息)011指示的电阻粗调档位45mohm还对应有15个电阻细调档位,经过细调功能,可扩展每个粗调档位±15mohm的调节范围,即38~52mohm。则第二调节量携带的档位信息可以包括调节后的电 压分别对应的电阻粗调档位信息和电阻细调档位信息。
可以理解的是,第二调节量实际为比例系数调节,调节的作用是在原充电芯片输出电压的基础上实现随充电电流变化的电压偏差值,因此,本申请实施例对第二调节量的具体携带的信息,以及调节电压的调节方式不作具体的限制。
需要说明的是,在一次充电周期中,处理单元向充电控制单元发送的调节信息可以同时包括第一调节量和第二调节量,也可以分别包括第一调节量和第二调节量,对此,本申请实施例不做具体的限制。
还需要说明的是,上述对恒压充电阶段的充电电压的调节需要根据电池电压的安全阈值约束,判断是否满足校准条件,若满足条件,则可以进行调节。若不满足,则在本次充电周期中放弃对恒压充电阶段的充电电压进行调节。其中,该电池电压的安全阈值约束是指在一次充电周期结束后电池对应的实际电池电压不超过预设满充电压。因此,该校准条件为需要判断当前对电池模块的充电电压与预设满充电压之间的差距是否小于安全阈值,若小于则不需要调节,若大于才需要调节。
还需要说明的,若本次充电周期中,充电装置对预设的第一电压进行了调节,在本次充电周期结束后,则需要回退对预设的第一电压的调节,即可以理解为恢复默认档位配置,以防止在下次充电周期以本次第三电压进行充电时,由于其他因素的影响(如温度等)造成实际充电电压过大,形成安全隐患。
本申请实施例提供了一种充电装置,应用于电池充电技术领域,可以在恒压充电阶段,调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航和用电安全。其中,该充电装置包括:充电控制单元和处理单元。上述充电控制单元可以在恒压充电阶段时,向电池模块输出预设的第一电压(该预设的第一电压为充电控制单元基于预设满充电压向电池模块输出的电压)。在恒压充电阶段时,上述处理单元可以获取恒压充电阶段内电池模块对应的第二电压的电压值(相当于在充电控制单元向电池模块输出当前预设的第一电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值,即,实际充电电压的电压值);基于该第二电压的电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息;上述充电控制单元还可以根据上述调节信息对恒压充电阶段中预设的第一电压进行调节,并向上述电池模块输出第三电压,使得在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压不超过该预设满充电压的情况下,更接近电池满充电压的理想值,提高了电池的充电精度。而且,本申请实施例中的,通过获取充电过程中的充电电压,可以根据实际充电过程中各个因素的影响对当前电池模块的充电电压进行调节(即恒压充电阶段电池模块的充电电压会发生变化),不仅可以避免诸如板级应力、温度、器件老化等因素对电池模块在实际充电过程的影响,而且还可以在充电周期中对充电电压及时调整,使得处于当前充电周期中的电池可以达到理想的充电状态,避免了在充电完成后才发现电池未被充满,甚至充电电压过高的情况。因此,本申请实施例可以在恒压充电阶段,调节电池模块的实际充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航。
基于图2提供的电子设备,以及图3或图8提供的充电装置的结构,结合本申请中提供的充电方法,对本申请中提出的技术问题进行具体分析和解决。
参见图10,图10是本申请实施例提供的一种充电方法的流程示意图,该方法可应用于上述图2中所述的电子设备,所述电子设备包括电池模块和充电装置,所述电池模块在充电过程中对应有恒压充电阶段,其中充电装置可以包括:处理单元和充电控制单元,还可以包括检测单元。充电装置可以用于支持并执行图10中所示的方法流程步骤S201-步骤S204。在 所述恒压充电阶段时,该方法可以包括以下步骤S202-步骤S204,还可以包括步骤S201。其中,所述恒压充电阶段为以恒定电压所述电池进行充电的阶段,在所述恒压充电阶段时,该方法包括:
步骤S201:通过充电控制单元向电池模块输出预设的第一电压。
具体的,在恒压充电阶段,充电装置可以通过充电控制单元向所述电池模块输出预设的第一电压,即,以预设的第一电压向电池模块充电。
步骤S202:通过处理单元获取电池模块的第二电压的电压值。
具体的,通过处理单元获取电池模块的第二电压的电压值,所述第二电压为所述电池模块在所述预设的第一电压下获得的实际充电电压。另外,该预设的第一电压为理论上电池模块可以获得的充电电压。
可选的,通过检测单元检测所述第二电压的电压值,并发送至所述处理单元。充电装置还包括检测单元,在恒压充电阶段,可以通过检测单元(如:高精度检测装置)用于检测第二电压的电压值。其中,该检测单元可以位于充电控制单元内部,处理单元内部或独立于充电控制单元和处理单元之外与电池模块耦合。
可选的,通过所述电量计检测所述第二电压的电压值,并发送至所述处理单元。检测单元可以为电子设备中的电量计,该电量计用于测量电池模块的相关参数(如:电池充电电流、电池实际充电电压等),因此,该电量计可以检测上述第二电压的电压值,并发送至上述处理单元。通过利用电子设备中的现有器件检测第二电压的电压值,节省了电子设备硬件空间和成本。
可选的,在所述电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,通过所述电量计检测所述第二电压的电压值,并发送至所述处理单元。电子设备的温度的变化会影响到电量计获取的第二电压的精度,因此,在本申请实施例中,在获取第二电压的电压值前,还需要确定当前电子设备对应的温度,在电子设备对应的温度处于预设温度范围内时,该电量计获取的充电电压的电压值是可信的。也因此,在后续调节过程中,调节后的充电电压精度更准确。
可选的,通过所述检测单元检测第一电流的电流值,并发送至所述处理单元,其中,所述第一电流为所述电池模块在所述预设的第一电压下对应的充电电流;所述基于所述第二电压的电压值,获得所述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息,包括:基于所述第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定所述调节信息。检测单元不仅用于检测当前预设的第一电压下电池模块对应的充电电压的电压值(第二电压的电压值)还用于检测当前的充电电流的电流值。处理单元还可以基于获取到的第二电压的电压值和充电电流的电流值,确定上述调节信息。另外该检测单元还可以是电量计。
可选的,所述通过所述检测单元检测第一电流的电流值,并发送至所述处理单元,包括:通过所述检测单元检测多个时间点中每个时间点对应的所述第二电压的电压值和所述第一电流的电流值,并发送至所述处理单元;所述基于所述第二电压的电压值和第一电流的电流值,确定所述调节信息,包括:基于所述多个时间点中每个时间点对应的所述第二电压的电压值和所述第一电流的电流值,确定所述调节信息。为了提高校准后的充电电压的精度,在本申请实施例中,获取多组恒压充电阶段的充电电压值(即,第二电压的电压值)和第一电流值,避免只获取了一组充电电压值和第一电流值时,造成数据不准确,进而导致确定的调节信息不准确。另外,还可以周期性的获取多组数据,即上述多个时间点中任意相邻时间点的时间间隔相等。
步骤S203:基于第二电压的电压值,获得预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。
具体的,基于所述第二电压的电压值,获得所述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。该调节信息可以在恒压充电阶段,调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航和用电安全。
可选的,上述基于所述第二电压的电压值,获得所述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息,包括:基于上述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息。
可选的,所述基于上述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息,包括:对比多个时间点中每个时间点对应的所述第二电压的电压值和上述预设电压值之间大小,获得所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值;基于所述多个时间点中每个时间点分别对应的电压差值,确定所述调节信息。
可选的,所述调节信息包括第一调节量,所述第一调节量为所述第二电压的电压值与预设电压值之间的差值。调节信息是针对预设的第一电压的调节信息,该预设电压值为预设满充电压的电压值,该预设满充电压为电池模块预设的电池满充电压,若确定电池模块在该预设第一电压下接收到的实际充电电压达不到预设满充电压,则可以根据该预设满充电压调节预设的第一电压,从而使得电池模块接收到的实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之提升至预设满充电压。例如:对预设的第一电压增加10mV则电池模块接收到实际充电电压(第二电压)也随之增加10mV。
可选的,所述调节信息包括第二调节量,所述第二调节量为上述预设的第一电压随上述第一电流变化的变化量,且与第一电流正相关。充电控制单元可以包括充电芯片,通过该充电芯片输出的第四电压向电池模块充电,其中,该充电芯片与电池模块之间可以通过如导线等连接,由于导线存在阻抗,因此该充电芯片输出的第四电压会被上述阻抗分压。也即,该预设的第一电压可以理解为第四电压经过上述阻抗后输入上述电池模块的电压。因此,充电装置可以基于上述阻抗分压的电压对充电芯片输出的第四电压进行补偿,进而实现对预设的第一电压的调节。另外由于恒压充电阶段需要保持电池模块的充电电压稳定,所以随着充电时间增加,电池模块电量逐渐升高,第一电流会逐渐减小,也因此上述阻抗分压的电压也会逐渐减小。故针对预设的第一电压的调节信息中的第二调节量为预设的第一电压随上述第一电流变化的变化量,且与第一电流正相关。
步骤S204:通过充电控制单元基于调节信息,对预设的第一电压进行调节,向电池模块输出第三电压。
具体的,上述充电控制单元可以基于调节信息,对预设的第一电压进行调节,获得第三电压,还可以向上述电池模块输出第三电压,使得在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压更接近预设满充电压,提高了电子设备的续航。该第三电压即为调节后的第一电压。
可选的,所述第三电压的电压值大于所述预设的第一电压的电压值。即对应的,在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值要大于向电池模块输出当前预设的第一电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值。也因此,以第三电压向电池模块充电结束后,满充的电池模块的容量要高于以预设的第一电压向电池模块充电结束后,满充的电池模块的容量,大大的加强了电子设备的续航。
本申请实施例提供了一种充电装置,应用于电池充电技术领域,可以在恒压充电阶段,调节恒压充电阶段的充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航和用电安全。其中,上述充电装置可以在恒压充电阶段时,可以向电池模块输出预设的第一电压(该预设的第一电压为充电装置 基于预设满充电压向电池模块输出的电压,该预设满充电压可以理解为预设的电池满充电压)。该充电装置包括:充电控制单元和处理单元。上述处理单元相当于电子设备中的处理单元、处理芯片或片上系统(System-on-a-chip,SOC)等,在恒压充电阶段时,可以获取恒压充电阶段内电池模块对应的第二电压的电压值(第二电压的电压值相当于在充电控制单元向电池模块输出当前预设的第一电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值);基于该第二电压的电压值,获得上述预设的第一电压对应的调节信息;上述充电控制单元还可以根据上述调节信息对恒压充电阶段中预设的第一电压进行调节,并向上述电池模块输出第三电压(该第三电压为调节后的第一电压),使得在充电控制单元向电池模块输出第三电压时,电池模块接收到的实际充电电压值更接近预设满充电压的电压值(即,预设电压值),提高了电池的充电精度。而且,不会超过该预设满充电压。另外,本申请实施例中,通过获取充电过程中针对电池模块的充电电压,可以根据实际充电过程中各个因素的影响对当前电池模块的充电电压进行调节(即,本申请实施例中恒压充电阶段电池模块的充电电压会发生变化),不仅可以避免诸如板级应力、温度、器件老化等因素对电池模块在实际充电过程的影响,而且还可以在充电周期中对充电电压及时调整,使得处于当前充电周期中的电池可以达到理想的充电状态,避免了在充电完成后才发现电池未被充满,甚至充电电压过高的情况。因此,本申请实施例可以在恒压充电阶段,调节电池模块的实际充电电压,以保证电子设备的续航。
