[0039] The invention provides a charging protection circuit.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the circuit includes a first protection module 10 and a second protection module 20; the input end of the first protection module 10 is connected to the live wire L, the output end of the first protection module 10 is connected to the input end of the second protection module 20, and the output end of the second protection module 20 is connected to the charging module 30 of the vehicle; wherein, the first protection module 10 is used to detect the charging temperature and switch the corresponding switch state according to the temperature range of the charging temperature; the second protection module 20 is used to detect the charging voltage and / or the charging current, and when the charging voltage and / or the charging current are less than a first preset value, determine whether the vehicle is in a charging state according to the charging signal sent by the charging module 30, and when the vehicle is in a charging state, detect the switch state of the first protection module 10, and when the switch state of the first protection module 10 is disconnected, send a stop charging signal to the charging module 30.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 When charging, new energy vehicles usually connect the power plug 1 connected to the charging gun 4 to the household socket 2. However, since the household socket 2 is prone to aging, poor use environment, poor socket contact, etc., it will heat up seriously during charging, resulting in unsafe charging. In this embodiment, the first protection module 10 can be set in the power plug 1, and the second protection module 20 can be set in the charging control box 3. When the power plug 1 is connected to the household socket 2, the first protection module 10 in the power plug 1 will be disconnected when the temperature is too high, and the second protection module 20 in the charging control box 3 implements a protection strategy according to the switch state of the first protection module 10.

[0042] Specifically, the first protection module 10 detects the charging temperature, closes when the charging temperature is not greater than the second preset value, and opens when the charging temperature is greater than the second preset value. The second protection module 20 records the charging voltage and / or charging current in real time. When the charging voltage and / or the charging current are abnormal, it determines whether the vehicle is in a charging state according to the charging signal sent by the charging module 30, and when the vehicle is in a charging state, detects the switch state of the first protection module. When the switch state of the first protection module is disconnected, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a charging state and the charging temperature is too high. At this time, a stop charging signal is sent to the charging module 30 of the vehicle to stop the vehicle from charging, thereby ensuring charging safety.

[0043] This embodiment sets a first protection module and a second protection module in the charging protection circuit; the input end of the first protection module is connected to the live wire, and the output end is connected to the input end of the second protection module; the output end of the second protection module is connected to the charging module of the vehicle; the first protection module switches the corresponding switch state according to the temperature range of the charging temperature; when the charging voltage and / or charging current is less than the first preset value, the second protection module determines whether the vehicle is in the charging state according to the charging signal sent by the charging module, and when the vehicle is in the charging state, detects the switch state of the first protection module, and sends a stop charging signal to the charging module when the switch state of the first protection module is disconnected. Among them, through the design of the first and second protection modules, when the vehicle is in the charging state and the charging temperature is too high, the power supply can be disconnected and charging can be stopped, reducing the risk caused by overheating of charging.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Charging protection circuit - optional circuit schematic diagram.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first protection module 10 includes a temperature switch S1, the input end of the temperature switch S1 is connected to the live wire L, and the output end of the temperature switch S1 is connected to the second protection module 20; the temperature switch S1 is used to detect the charging temperature, and is closed when the charging temperature is not greater than a second preset value, and is opened when the charging temperature is greater than the second preset value.

[0046] In a specific implementation, the temperature switch S1 can be set in the power plug, connected in series to the live wire L, and a normally closed switch is used. When the charging temperature is greater than the second preset value, it will automatically disconnect, and when the charging temperature is not greater than the second preset value, it will remain closed to achieve charging. This embodiment uses the temperature switch S1 to detect the charging temperature instead of the thermistor design, avoiding the time delay caused by the controller collecting and judging the temperature signal and then controlling the switch, making the circuit structure simpler and also improving the circuit's response speed to overheating.

[0047] Further, the second protection module 20 includes a switch unit 210, a voltage detection unit 220 and a control unit 230; the switch unit 210 is arranged on the live wire L and the neutral wire N, the first end of the switch unit 210 is connected to the output end of the first protection module 10, the second end of the switch unit 210 is connected to the first input end of the voltage detection unit 220, and the third end of the switch unit 210 is connected to the control end of the control unit 230; the second input end of the voltage detection unit 220 is connected to the neutral wire N, the output end of the voltage detection unit 220 is connected to the first input end of the control unit 230; the output end of the control unit 230 is connected to the charging module 30 wherein the switch unit 210 is used to receive the switch state signal and send the switch state signal to the control unit 230; the voltage detection unit 220 is used to detect the charging voltage and send the charging voltage to the control unit 230; the control unit 230 is used to determine whether the vehicle is in a charging state according to the charging signal sent by the charging module 30 when the charging voltage is less than a first preset value, and when the vehicle is in a charging state, detect the switch state of the switch unit 210, and when the switch state of the switch unit 210 is closed, determine that the switch state of the first protection module 10 is open, and send a stop charging signal to the charging module 30.

[0048] It should be noted that the charging voltage is less than the first preset value due to two situations. The first situation is that the charging temperature is too high and the first protection module 10 is disconnected; the second situation is that the user actively stops charging by disconnecting the switch unit 210. Obviously, the first situation requires over-temperature protection, but the second situation does not. Therefore, when the control unit 230 detects that the switch state of the switch unit 210 is closed, it means that the user did not actively stop charging, and it can be determined that the abnormal charging voltage is caused by the disconnection of the first protection module 10. At this time, it is necessary to send a stop charging signal to the charging module 30.

[0049] It should be understood that when the charging voltage is not less than the first preset value, it can be determined that the entire circuit is turned on, the charging temperature in the first protection module 10 is not greater than the second preset value, and over-temperature protection is not required.

[0050] Specifically, the switch unit 210 includes a first relay K1 and a second relay K2; the first relay K1 is arranged on the live wire L, the second relay K2 is arranged on the neutral wire N, the first contact of the first relay K1 is connected to the output end of the first protection module 10 as the first end of the switch unit 210, the second contact of the first relay K1 is connected to the first input end of the voltage detection unit 220 as the second end of the switch unit 210, and the coil of the first relay K1 and the coil of the second relay K2 are connected to the control end of the control unit 230 as the third end of the switch unit 210.

[0051] It is easy to understand that the control unit 230 can control the output of voltage by controlling the opening and closing of the relay. When the relay is disconnected, the connection between the first protection module 10 and the charging module 30 is disconnected, and the charging power supply is cut off, further ensuring charging safety.

[0052] Of course, when the vehicle stops charging, the temperature detected by the temperature switch S1 will be lower than the first preset value, and the temperature switch S1 will be closed. At this time, the control unit 230 is set to not allow restarting charging to prevent the temperature switch S1 from overheating again. The control unit 230 allows recharging only when it detects that the power plug 1 has been unplugged and reinserted into the household socket 2. In this way, the temperature switch S1 can be prevented from being damaged by repeated actions and causing secondary accidents, and the relay can also be prevented from being repeatedly actuated, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0053] Furthermore, the second protection module 20 also includes a sampling unit 240 and a current detection unit 250; the input end of the sampling unit 240 is connected to the second end of the switch unit 210, the output end of the sampling unit 240 is connected to the input end of the current detection unit 250, and the output end of the current detection unit 250 is connected to the second input end of the control unit 230.

[0054] It should be understood that the sampling unit 240 is used to sample the charging current and send the charging current to the control unit 230. As an embodiment, the sampling unit 240 can use a Hall sensor, and by connecting the Hall sensor to the live wire L, the live wire L current (i.e., charging current) can be sampled.

[0055] In a specific implementation, after receiving the charging current, when the charging current is less than a first preset value, the control unit 230 determines whether the vehicle is in a charging state according to the charging signal sent by the charging module 30, and when the vehicle is in a charging state, detects the switching state of the switch unit 210. When the switching state of the switch unit 210 is closed, it determines that the switching state of the first protection module 10 is open, and sends a stop charging signal to the charging module 30.

[0056] It should be noted that, in a specific implementation, the control unit 230 can determine whether to perform over-temperature protection by simultaneously detecting whether the charging current and the charging voltage are less than the first preset value, or can only detect either the charging current or the charging voltage. By detecting the charging voltage and the charging current, all charging information can be recorded, including information on charging over-temperature and when the first protection module 10 is disconnected.

[0057] Furthermore, the second protection module 20 also includes a power supply unit 260, a first input end of the power supply unit 260 is respectively connected to the live wire L and the input end of the first protection module 10, a second input end of the power supply unit 260 is respectively connected to the neutral wire N and the fourth end of the switch unit 210, and an output end of the power supply unit 260 is connected to the power supply end of the control unit 230.

[0058] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first input end of the power supply unit 260 is arranged before the first protection module 10. Even if the first protection module 10 is disconnected due to overtemperature, the power supply unit 260 can also normally supply power to the second protection module 20 in the charging control box, continue to control the switch unit 210 and send signals to the charging module 30.

[0059] This embodiment designs the first protection module as a temperature switch, which can respond quickly to charging overtemperature. Through the design of the second protection module, the charging current and / or charging voltage can be continuously recorded normally when the first protection module is disconnected, and the relay can be disconnected when the charging overtemperature occurs, so as to promptly inform the charging module to stop charging, thereby effectively avoiding safety accidents caused by charging overtemperature.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The present invention is based on Figure 1 A flowchart of an embodiment of the proposed charging protection method.

[0061] In this embodiment, the charging protection method includes the following steps:

[0062] S10: Detecting a charging voltage and / or a charging current, and when the charging voltage and / or the charging current are less than a first preset value, obtaining a charging instruction and determining whether the vehicle is in a charging state;

[0063] It should be understood that the first protection module 10 can be a temperature switch S1, which is arranged in the power plug 1, and its switch state includes closed and open. When the temperature switch S1 detects that the charging temperature is greater than the second preset value, it is opened, otherwise it is closed. The second protection module 20 can be arranged in the charging control box 3, and detect the charging voltage and / or charging current in real time. When the charging voltage and / or charging current is less than the first preset value, the charging instruction sent by the charging module 30 is obtained, and it is determined whether the vehicle is in a charging state.

[0064] S20: When the vehicle is in a charging state, detecting a first switch state;

[0065] It is easy to understand that the charging voltage and / or charging current being less than the first preset value is caused by two situations. The first situation is that the charging temperature is too high and the first protection module 10 is disconnected; the second situation is that the user actively stops charging by disconnecting the switch unit 210. Obviously, the first situation requires over-temperature protection, but the second situation does not. The first switch state refers to the switch state of the first protection module 10. When the second switch state (i.e., the switch state of the switch unit 210) is closed, it means that the user did not actively stop charging, then it can be determined that the abnormal charging voltage is caused by the disconnection of the first protection module 10.

[0066] S30: When the first switch state is disconnected, output a charging stop instruction.

[0067] In a specific implementation, since the temperature switch S1 is used in the first protection module 10, the temperature switch S1 will be closed after charging stops. In order to prevent the device from restarting charging, it is necessary to detect whether there is an action of pulling out and inserting the power plug 1; when the pulling out and inserting action is detected, the connection between the first protection module 10 and the charging module 30 is controlled to be turned on, and a charging instruction is sent to the charging module 30 to charge the charging module 30. When the pulling out and inserting action is not detected, the connection between the first protection module 10 and the charging module 30 is still controlled to be disconnected, and a stop charging instruction is sent to the charging module 30 to avoid overheating again, and the temperature switch S1 is repeatedly operated to cause damage, which may cause a secondary accident.

[0068] This embodiment detects the charging voltage and / or charging current, and when the charging voltage and / or charging current is less than a first preset value, obtains a charging instruction and determines whether the vehicle is in a charging state; when the vehicle is in a charging state, detects a first switch state; when the first switch state is disconnected, outputs a stop charging instruction to stop the charging module from charging, thereby reducing the risk caused by overheating during charging.

[0069] The present invention further provides a charging protection device, which includes the charging protection circuit as described above, or applies the charging protection method as described above. It is easy to understand that the charging protection device at least has the beneficial effects brought by the above embodiments.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
