Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of space power supply, and in particular to an aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit. Background Art

[0002] In the aerospace power supply system, the battery pack is an important energy storage device, which provides power to the spacecraft by discharging during the launch phase, mission phase, and shadow period of the spacecraft. As the path of the battery, the charge and discharge circuit plays a vital role in ensuring the normal function of the battery pack. At present, the commonly used charge and discharge circuits in aerospace systems are full-regulation mode and unregulated mode. Among them, the full-regulation mode requires a corresponding regulation circuit, and its volume and weight may account for 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the entire power controller. Its advantage is that the voltage point is fixed, and it can be selected for spacecraft with relatively high bus voltage requirements and surplus volume and weight. However, for most spacecraft, reducing volume and weight is very important, and the unregulated charge and discharge circuit can achieve the charge and discharge function of the battery through a combination of switches and diodes, which can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the controller.

[0003] The present invention aims at the above-mentioned battery charging and discharging problem and proposes a high-reliability aerospace charging and discharging circuit. The switching between two charging modes and two discharging modes is realized by a relay, which can meet the requirements of maximum 80A discharge and 18A charging. The high reliability of the charging and discharging circuit is achieved by the reasonable configuration of diodes, relays and MOS tubes. The present invention is suitable for spacecraft with long life and high power density requirements. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-reliability charging and discharging circuit for aerospace, which solves the demand for large current charging and discharging through the reasonable configuration of diodes, relays and MOS tubes, and the high-reliability circuit design can meet the characteristics of aerospace.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, comprising: an isolation diode 11, an isolation diode 22, a discharge switch 3, a battery pack 4, a charging switching switch 5, an isolation diode 36, a sampling resistor 7 and a charging switch 8;

[0006] The cathode of the isolation diode 11 is connected to the low voltage bus, and the anode is connected to the cathode of the isolation diode 22 and the 2nd port of the charging switch 5;

[0007] The cathode of the isolation diode 22 is connected to the anode of the isolation diode 11 and the port 2 of the charging switch 5, and the anode is connected to the port 3 of the discharging switch 3;

[0008] The 1st port of the discharge switch 3 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery pack 4 and the D terminal of the charging switch 8, the 3rd port is connected to the positive electrode of the isolation diode 22, and the 2nd port is connected to the common terminal of the sampling resistor 7 and the S terminal of the charging switch 8;

[0009] The positive end of the battery pack 4 is connected to the 1 port of the discharge switch 3 and the D end of the charging switch 8, and the negative end is connected to the low-voltage bus -;

[0010] Port 1 of the charging switch 5 is connected to the low voltage bus +, port 2 is connected to the cathode of the isolation diode 22 and the anode of the isolation diode 11, and port 3 is connected to the anode of the isolation diode 36;

[0011] The positive electrode of the isolation diode 36 is connected to the 3-port of the charging switch 5, and the negative electrode is connected to the sampling resistor 7;

[0012] One end of the sampling resistor 7 is connected to the cathode of the isolation diode 36, and the other end is connected to the S end of the charging switch 8 and the 2 port of the discharging switch 3;

[0013] The D end of the charging switch 8 is connected to the positive end of the battery pack 4, and the S end is connected to the sampling resistor 7 and the 2 end of the discharge switch 3.

[0014] There are two discharge paths, one is a small current discharge path, and the other is a large current discharge path;

[0015] The small current discharge path is battery pack 4 → discharge switch 3 → isolation diode 22 → isolation diode 11 → low voltage bus +;

[0016] The high current discharge path is battery pack 4 → discharge switch 3 → isolation diode 22 → charging switch 5 → low voltage bus +,

[0017] There are two charging paths, one is a normal charging path, and the other is an over-discharge charging path;

[0018] The conventional charging path is low voltage bus +→ charging switch 5→isolating diode 36→sampling resistor 7→charging switch 8→battery pack 4;

[0019] The over-discharge charging path is low voltage bus +→charging switch 5→isolating diode 36→sampling resistor 7→discharging switch 3→battery pack 4.

[0020] The above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, wherein the isolation diode 11 includes 6 power diodes connected in parallel in the same direction. When one diode is open-circuited, the current passes through the other 5 diodes without affecting its discharge function; when one diode is short-circuited, due to the presence of the isolation diode 22, the flow direction of the current can still be limited.

[0021] The above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, wherein the isolation diode 22 includes 10 power diodes connected in parallel in the same direction. When one diode is open, the current passes through the other 9 diodes without affecting its discharge function; when one diode is short-circuited, since the charging switching switch 5 can be switched to the charging state, it still does not affect the unidirectional conductivity of the discharge path.

[0022] The above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, wherein the discharge switch 3 includes two redundant parallel relays. When a certain relay has contact adhesion and is in the normally on state, there is no impact because the discharge does not affect the detector state under normal circumstances; when it is in the normally off state, since a single relay can meet the current demand, it does not affect the normal discharge of the battery pack.

[0023] The above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, wherein the charging switching switch 5 includes two redundant parallel relays. When the contacts of one of the relays are stuck and it is normally on, since the charging path is determined by the charging switching switch 5, the charging switch 8 or the discharging switch 3, as long as the charging switch 8 is disconnected and the discharging switch 3 is in the discharging state, there is no impact; when it is normally off, since a single relay can meet the current demand, it does not affect the normal charging of the battery pack.

[0024] In the above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, the isolation diode 36 includes 6 power diodes arranged in the same direction, and the 6 power diodes are distributed in such a way that three are connected in parallel and then two are connected in series. The short circuit and open circuit of the power diodes do not affect the unidirectional conductivity of the charging path.

[0025] In the above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit, the sampling resistor 7 includes 5 sampling resistors. When one of the resistors is open-circuited, the voltage drop on the sampling resistor will increase by 20%, and the corresponding charging current value will decrease by 20%, which has little effect.

[0026] The charging switch 8 comprises three MOS tubes. When one MOS tube is open-circuited, the current can flow through the other two MOS tubes without much impact. When one MOS tube is short-circuited, the charging switch 5 is switched to the discharge mode to disconnect the charging mode, thereby preventing the battery from floating.

[0027] The above-mentioned aerospace high-reliability charging and discharging circuit includes two paths: a discharging path and a charging path, wherein the discharging path can provide a maximum current of 80A for the low-voltage bus, and the charging path can provide a maximum charging current of 18A for the battery pack.
