Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vehicle switch control, and particularly relates to a self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0002] The electromagnetic master switch for vehicles is connected in series between a storage battery and a vehicle power supply, and is used for connecting and cutting off the main power supply circuit of vehicle electrical appliances. The traditional electromagnetic master switch is composed of an electromagnetic coil, a core, a spring, and switch contacts. When the electromagnetic coil is powered, the core is attracted, and the switch contacts are connected to the main circuit. When the electromagnetic coil is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, the core is reset by the spring, the switch contacts are reset, and the main circuit is cut off. Since the electromagnetic master switch has only one attracting coil, the switch contacts have a large volume, and the attracting needs to overcome the tension of the reset spring. Therefore, the coil has a large working current in consideration of the functions of attracting and maintaining.

[0003] The master switch for vehicle electrical appliance power supply must be continuously powered on when any electrical appliance of the vehicle is working. When the vehicle driver stops the vehicle, the power supply line of the electromagnetic master switch must be cut off to prevent the continuous power-on of the electromagnetic master switch coil. In actual situations, the vehicle driver often forgets to cut off the power supply line of the electromagnetic master switch when only the ignition switch is turned off, resulting in the low-voltage storage battery of the long-term parked vehicle being discharged and unable to start. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles and a control method thereof. The present application detects signals, compares load currents and power supply voltages, and outputs a control power-on state of the electromagnetic master switch coil to realize under-voltage early warning and automatic control of the on-off of the vehicle electromagnetic master switch in the running or long-term parking state of the vehicle.

[0005] According to some embodiments, the first aspect of the present application provides a self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles, which adopts the following technical solutions: A self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles, comprising an electromagnetic master switch body and a control circuit connected thereto.

[0008] Further, the power supply of the control circuit is connected with the input detection module and the output drive module, respectively. The output drive module is configured to turn on and turn off the power supply of the electromagnetic coil to control the electromagnetic master switch.

[0009] Further, the input detection module is connected with a current sensor of the electromagnetic master switch and a seat pressure switch, respectively, to detect a load current and a seat pressure switch signal.

[0011] According to some embodiments, the second aspect of the present application provides a control method of a self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles, which adopts the following technical solution: The control method of the self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles based on the first aspect comprises the following steps: When the seat pressure switch is open and there is a switch signal input, but none of the ignition signal, the start signal, and the engine speed signal is input, it is determined that the vehicle is in a static state. When the load current is detected for the first time to be less than the set current value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off after a delay of N minutes; when the load current is detected for the Nth time to be less than the set current value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off in turn with a delay of 1 minute less each time until the minimum delay of 1 minute; and the comparison result of the input power supply voltage and the output power supply voltage with the standard under-voltage value is detected when the delay time exceeds the set threshold. If the comparison result is less than the standard under-voltage value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off; otherwise, the load current is continuously detected.

[0012] Further, when the seat pressure switch is closed and there is a switch signal input, any one of the ignition signal, the start signal, and the engine speed signal is input, it is determined that the vehicle is in a running state, and the electromagnetic master switch is not actively cut off. During the running process, if the voltage comparison module detects an under-voltage condition, the under-voltage indicator lights up.

Figure 1 The electromagnetic master switch body 1 contains a current sensor, an electromagnetic coil, a core, a spring, a switch contact and the like. The electromagnetic coil is energized to attract the core, which drives the switch contact to connect the main circuit.

[0026] The voltage comparison module compares the input power supply voltage, the output power supply voltage and the internal standard under-voltage voltage value, and outputs an under-voltage warning signal to drive the indicator light according to the actual working state of the vehicle, and provides a driving signal for the output drive module.

The output drive module is used to connect and disconnect the power supply of the electromagnetic coil, and realizes the control of the electromagnetic master switch.

[0027]

[0028] ​The control circuit comprises an input detection module and a voltage comparison module, the input detection module is connected with the current sensor of the electromagnetic master switch and the seat pressure switch respectively; The voltage comparison module is connected with the power supply of the control circuit and the output drive respectively to monitor the comparison result of the input power voltage and the output power voltage with the standard under-voltage value.

[0029] The input detection module is used to detect the switch signal, the ignition signal, the starting signal and the engine speed signal.

[0030] The voltage comparison module is also connected with the under-voltage indicator, when the comparison result is less than the standard under-voltage value, the under-voltage warning signal is output to control the under-voltage indicator to light up.

[0031] The power supply of the control circuit is connected with the input detection module and the output drive module respectively; The output drive module is used to turn on and off the power supply of the electromagnetic coil to realize the control of the electromagnetic master switch.

[0032] The input detection module is connected with the current sensor of the electromagnetic master switch and the seat pressure switch respectively to detect the load current and the seat pressure switch signal; The seat pressure switch signal is closed, which indicates that the driver is sitting on the seat; the seat pressure switch signal is open, which indicates that the driver leaves the seat.

[0033] Embodiment two The embodiment provides a control method of a self-learning protection electromagnetic master switch for vehicles, comprising: When the seat pressure switch is open and there is a switch signal input, but the ignition signal, the starting signal and the engine speed signal are not input, it is determined that the vehicle is in a static state; When the load current is detected for the first time to be less than the set current value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off after N minutes of delay, when the load current is detected for the Nth time to be less than the set current value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off in turn with 1 minute of decrease until 1 minute of minimum; the comparison result of the input power voltage and the output power voltage with the standard under-voltage value is detected when the delay time exceeds the set threshold value; If the comparison result is less than the standard under-voltage value, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off, otherwise, the load current is continuously detected.

[0034] When the seat pressure switch is closed and there is a switch signal input, any one of the ignition signal, the starting signal and the engine speed signal is input, it is determined that the vehicle is in a running state, and the electromagnetic master switch is not actively cut off; If the voltage comparison module detects an under-voltage condition during the running process, the under-voltage indicator lights up.

[0035] In the specific example, as Figure 2As shown, the method described in the embodiment is illustrated by an example, and the specific process is as follows: Input detection circuit: when the ACC switch has an input signal, the ignition is ON, the start is START, and any one of the engine RPM has an input signal, it is judged that the vehicle is in running state, the electromagnetic coil is kept in continuous power supply state, and the electromagnetic coil power supply is not actively cut off. If the detection is lower than the under-voltage condition, the voltage comparison circuit only lights up the under-voltage indicator for early warning, and ensures the vehicle power supply and normal operation of the vehicle; Input detection circuit: when the ACC switch has an input signal, the ignition is ON, the start is START, and any one of the engine RPM has an input signal, it is judged that the vehicle is in running state, the electromagnetic coil is kept in continuous power supply state, and the electromagnetic coil power supply is not actively cut off. If the detection is lower than the under-voltage condition, the voltage comparison circuit only lights up the under-voltage indicator for early warning, and ensures the vehicle power supply and normal operation of the vehicle; When the output circuit actively disconnects the electromagnetic switch coil power supply, the ACC switch is powered on or the ignition is ON, the system is reset, and the initial state is restored.

[0036] When the vehicle is in static state and the seat pressure switch signal shows that the driver is away from the seat (no ignition and running signal), a: current detection function, when the load current is detected for the first time <1A, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off after 30 minutes; when the load current is detected for the second time <1A, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off after 30-1 minutes; when the load current is detected for the Nth time <1A, the electromagnetic master switch is cut off after 1 minute, and the process is repeated until the minimum 1 minute; b: voltage detection function, the delay time is >20 minutes, and the vehicle power voltage is detected in real time. When the 12V vehicle is <11.5V and the 24V vehicle is <23.5V, the control circuit actively disconnects the electromagnetic switch coil power supply, the electromagnetic switch contact cuts off the vehicle power supply, and prevents the low-voltage storage battery from being continuously discharged for a long time.

[0037] It can be understood that the voltage values and delay times mentioned in the above method process are all examples, and different threshold values can be set according to different vehicles.

[0038] The embodiment can also achieve accurate control through the following control logic. The control circuit detects the working state of the vehicle in real time, and different control strategies are adopted according to different states. When the vehicle is running, the low-voltage state of the vehicle can be displayed. When the vehicle is static, the current and voltage are synchronously detected. The self-learning delay can be reduced, the low-voltage state can be detected and the electromagnetic master switch can be automatically cut off, thereby prolonging the service life of the vehicle-mounted low-voltage storage battery.
