[0004] Currently, high-voltage interlock signals are mainly used to monitor the connection status of the high-voltage interlock loop, that is, to detect the low-voltage harness connected to the high-voltage interlock loop of a new energy vehicle. This low-voltage harness connects the high-voltage connectors in the vehicle's high-voltage interlock loop in series. By detecting the interlock signals on this low-voltage harness, the status of the high-voltage interlock loop is further monitored. However, the current solution cannot accurately locate the specific position of the loosening of the high-voltage interlock loop, which is not conducive to the maintenance and troubleshooting of the high-voltage interlock loop of electric vehicles, and cannot diagnose the faults that occur in the detection circuit itself.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the high-voltage interlock detection system provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 2, the constant current source switching circuit includes: a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, and a fourth transistor T4. The base of the first transistor T1 is connected to a first PWM signal source, the collector of the first transistor T1 is connected to the emitter of the third transistor T3, the emitter of the first transistor T1 is connected to a first constant current source A1, the base of the third transistor T3 is connected to a second PWM signal source, the collector of the third transistor T3 is connected to a second constant current source, the first end of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first constant current source, the second end of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first end of the second transistor, and the second end of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second constant current source.

[0047] The input frequencies and duty cycles of the first PWM signal source and the second PWM signal source are the same. By inputting two PWM signal sources with the same frequency and opposite duty cycles, the conduction directions of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are controlled to form two current loops in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. In the embodiment of the present invention, the input frequencies of the first PWM signal source and the second PWM signal source are both 88HZ, the duty cycle is 50%, and the duty cycle directions are opposite.

[0048] The high-voltage interlock loop includes a first high-voltage interlock loop SEG1 and a second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2. The high-voltage interlock detection system further includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The first constant current source, the first transistor T1, the first resistor R1, the first high-voltage interlock loop SEG1, the second resistor R2, the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2, the second transistor T2, and the second constant current source are sequentially connected to form a first detection loop; the first constant current source, the fourth transistor T4, the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2, the second resistor R2, the first high-voltage interlock loop SEG1, the first resistor R1, the third transistor T3, and the second constant current source form a second detection loop. The current direction of the second detection loop is opposite to the current direction of the first detection loop. In the embodiment of the present invention, the current of the first detection loop is in the clockwise direction, and the current direction of the second detection loop is in the counterclockwise direction.

[0049] The third transistor and the fourth transistor are closed, and the first transistor and the second transistor are disconnected, forming a counterclockwise current loop between the constant current source switching circuit and the high-voltage interlock loop.

[0050] The third transistor and the fourth transistor are disconnected, and the first transistor and the second transistor are closed, forming a clockwise current loop between the constant current source switching circuit and the high-voltage interlock loop.

[0051] The operational amplifier circuit includes a first comparator, a second comparator, and a third comparator. One end of a first resistor R1 is connected to a first input terminal of the first comparator, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to a second input terminal of the first comparator. An output terminal of the first comparator is respectively connected to a second input terminal of the second comparator and a first input terminal of the third comparator. A first input terminal of the second comparator and a second input terminal of the third comparator are both connected to a reference voltage VREF. Output terminals of the second comparator and the third comparator are both connected to the detection unit. Further, the output terminal of the second comparator outputs a first PWM detection signal, and the output terminal of the third comparator outputs a second PWM detection signal.

[0052] By comparing the voltage magnitudes of the voltage V1 at the first input terminal of the first comparator and the voltage V2 at the second input terminal of the first comparator, a continuous voltage value is output at the output terminal of the first comparator. This continuous voltage value is input to the second input terminal of the second comparator and compared with the reference voltage VREF input to the first input terminal of the second comparator to determine whether the voltage of the first PWM detection signal output at the output terminal of the second comparator is high level or low level; this continuous voltage value is input to the first input terminal of the third comparator and compared with the reference voltage VREF input to the second input terminal of the third comparator to determine whether the voltage of the second PWM detection signal output at the output terminal of the third comparator is high level or low level.

[0053] Through the injection of two PWM signal sources (a first PWM signal source and a second PWM signal source), and in cooperation with the turning off of a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a fourth transistor, two current loops, clockwise and counterclockwise, are formed in the detection loop, enabling both the second comparator and the third comparator to output PWM detection signals. By detecting the frequency, duty cycle of the PWM detection signals, and the voltage detection points in the detection loop, it is determined whether there is a fault in the high-voltage interlock loop and what type of fault it is.

[0054] If the duty cycle of the PWM detection signal is within [X - a, X + a], that is, the duty cycles of both the first PWM detection signal and the second PWM detection signal are within the range of [X - a, X + a], the high-voltage interlock loop is not open or broken, where X is the duty cycle set by the PWM signal source, that is, the same duty cycle set by the first PWM signal source and the second PWM signal source, and a is the redundancy amount set by the high-voltage interlock detection system.

[0055] The current of the detection loop is calculated according to the voltage difference between the two input terminals of the operational amplifier circuit and the resistor connected to the two input terminals of the operational amplifier circuit; in the first embodiment of the present invention, the current of the detection loop is calculated as I=(V1-V2) / R2, wherein V1 is the voltage of the first input terminal of the first comparator, and V2 is the voltage of the second input terminal of the first comparator;

[0056] The total voltage difference of the detection loop is calculated according to the sampled voltage detected by the detection unit, and the total resistance of the detection loop is calculated according to the current of the detection loop and the total voltage difference of the detection loop. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the total voltage difference of the detection loop is V1-V4, V1 is the voltage of the first input terminal of the first comparator, and V4 is the voltage to the ground at the connection point between the fourth transistor and the second transistor. The total resistance R of the detection loop is calculated according to the total voltage difference V1-V4 of the detection loop and the current I of the detection loop. 总 =(V1–V4) / I. When the total resistance of the detection circuit is less than the resistance threshold set by the vehicle environment, the detection circuit does not have a large resistance fault; when the total resistance of the detection circuit is greater than or equal to the resistance threshold set by the vehicle environment, the detection circuit has a large resistance fault.

[0057] If the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal and the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal are both within [0, a], that is, the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal and the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal are both less than or equal to 6%, then the first high-voltage interlocking loop SEG1 or the second high-voltage interlocking loop SEG2 is open, where a is the redundancy set by the high-voltage interlocking detection system; if the voltage difference between the second input terminal voltage V2 of the first comparator and the ground voltage V3 at the connection point of the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlocking loop SEG2 is greater than or equal to 6V, then the first high-voltage interlocking loop SEG1 is open; when the first high-voltage interlocking loop SEG1 is open, the clockwise current loop formed by the first detection loop and the counterclockwise current loop formed by the second detection loop Both current loops are blocked, so the duty cycles of the first PWM detection signal and the second PWM detection signal are close to 0. When the detection loop forms a clockwise current loop, the voltage of the second input terminal voltage V2 of the first comparator is close to the power supply voltage, and the voltage of the ground voltage V3 at the connection between the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlocking loop SEG2 is close to 0. When the detection loop forms a counterclockwise current loop, the voltage of the ground voltage V3 at the connection between the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlocking loop SEG2 is close to the power supply voltage, and the voltage of the second input terminal voltage V2 of the first comparator is close to 0. Therefore, no matter what direction the current is formed by the detection loop, the voltage difference |V3-V2| is the largest. In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the threshold value of the voltage difference |V3-V2| is 6V.

[0058] If the voltage difference between the voltage V3 of the connection between the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2 and the ground and the voltage V4 of the connection between the fourth transistor and the second transistor is greater than or equal to 6V, then the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2 is open. When the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2 is open, the clockwise current loop formed by the first detection loop and the counterclockwise current loop formed by the second detection loop are both not conductive. Therefore, the duty cycles of the first PWM detection signal and the second PWM detection signal are both close to 0. When the detection loop forms a clockwise current loop, the voltage V3 of the connection between the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2 is close to the power supply voltage, and the voltage V4 of the connection between the fourth transistor and the second transistor is close to 0. When the detection loop forms a counterclockwise current loop, the voltage V4 of the connection between the fourth transistor and the second transistor is close to the power supply voltage, and the voltage V3 of the connection between the second resistor R2 and the second high-voltage interlock loop SEG2 is close to 0. Therefore, regardless of the direction of the current formed by the detection loop, the voltage difference |V3 - V4| is the largest. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the threshold of the voltage difference |V3 - V4| is 6V.

[0059] The PWM detection signal includes a first PWM detection signal and a second PWM detection signal. If the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal is within [X - a, X + a], and the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal is within [0, a], there is a short negative pole fault in the high-voltage interlock loop, where X is the duty cycle set by the PWM signal source, and a is the redundancy set by the high-voltage interlock detection system. When a short negative pole fault occurs in the high-voltage interlock loop, the detection loop forms a clockwise current loop, the first PWM detection signal is high level, and the second PWM detection signal is low level. When the detection loop forms a counterclockwise current loop, the first PWM detection signal is low level, and the second PWM detection signal is low level. Therefore, when a short negative pole fault occurs in the high-voltage interlock loop, the second PWM detection signal is always low level, that is, the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal is close to 0, while the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal is within [X - a, X + a] (the duty cycle is normal).

[0060] The PWM detection signal includes a first PWM detection signal and a second PWM detection signal. If the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal is within [X - a, X + a], and the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal is within [0, a], there is a short power supply fault in the high-voltage interlock loop, where X is the duty cycle set by the PWM signal source and a is the redundancy set by the high-voltage interlock detection system. When a short power supply fault occurs in the high-voltage interlock loop, a clockwise current loop is formed in the detection loop, the first PWM detection signal is at a low level, and the second PWM detection signal is at a high level. When a counterclockwise current loop is formed in the detection loop, the first PWM detection signal is at a low level and the second PWM detection signal is at a low level. Therefore, when a short power supply fault occurs in the high-voltage interlock loop, the first PWM detection signal is always at a low level, that is, the duty cycle of the first PWM detection signal is close to 0, while the duty cycle of the second PWM detection signal is within [X - a, X + a] (the duty cycle is normal).

[0061] If none of the above situations are met, it indicates that there are other faults in the high-voltage interlock detection system.
