Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when a difference in current consumption occurs among the voltage monitoring modules in the voltage monitoring system, an electric battery cell current occurs between the battery cell group monitored by one voltage monitoring module and the battery cell group monitored by the other voltage monitoring module. consumption rate difference
This difference in current consumption speed causes a voltage difference between the battery cells, causing a problem that the performance of the battery pack is degraded.

Abstract

Disclosed are a voltage monitoring system and a voltage monitoring module. In the voltage monitoring system, the voltage monitoring module includes: an adjustment current control circuit, which generates an adjustment current so that the operating current consumed by the voltage monitoring module reaches a specified value corresponding to the first operating current setting command, and stops generating according to the operating current switching command adjusting the current; and an operating current measurement circuit, which measures an operating current according to an operating current measurement command after the operating current switching command; and wherein the module control circuit sends a second operating current setting command based on the measured operating current, and the adjusting current control circuit generates The current is adjusted so that the operating current reaches a specified value corresponding to the second operating current setting command.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-122094 filed on May 31, 2011, the disclosure of which including specification, drawings and abstract is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a voltage monitoring system and a voltage monitoring module, and in particular to a voltage monitoring system and a voltage monitoring module for monitoring battery cells in a battery pack using a plurality of battery cells coupled in series as one battery cell Voltage. Background technique [0004] In recent years, a battery unit that supplies electric power to, for example, a motor in an automobile often uses a battery pack in which a plurality of battery cells are coupled in series as one battery unit. An equal voltage must be maintained across the cells in order to maintain the performance of the battery pack. Various voltage monitoring systems have therefore been prop...
