Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] The existing external precharge circuit cannot be built into the vehicle controller, and the integration degree is low. Moreover, when not in use, the relay will standby and consume, thereby increasing the overall power consumption of the device.

[0048] In order to overcome the above defects, the embodiment of the present application provides a switch control circuit of a vehicle controller, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the circuit includes: a circuit controller 1, a pre-charge circuit 2 and a switch circuit 3, the pre-charge circuit 2 is connected with the switch circuit 3 in parallel, the first output port and the second output port of the circuit controller 1 are connected with the pre-charge circuit 2 and the switch circuit 3 respectively; the circuit controller 1 is used for receiving a vehicle controller opening instruction; based on the opening instruction, the pre-charge time of the capacitive load is determined; within the pre-charge time, the first voltage signal is sent to the pre-charge circuit 2; the pre-charge circuit 2 is used for charging the capacitive load according to the first voltage signal; after the pre-charge time, the circuit controller 1 sends the second voltage signal to the switch circuit 3; the switch circuit 3 is used for controlling the vehicle controller to open according to the second voltage signal.

[0049] Wherein, the circuit controller can be a single-chip microcomputer, or other types of controllers, the embodiments of the application do not make specific limitation. In addition, the pre-charge circuit is connected with the capacitive load, and the switch circuit is connected with the vehicle controller.

[0050] Specifically, before formally opening the vehicle controller, the capacitive load needs to be pre-charged, at this time, the circuit controller 1 will set the first output port P10.1 to high potential according to the pre-charge time calculated in real time or the pre-charge time set in advance, that is, output the first voltage signal to the pre-charge circuit 2 within the pre-charge time, the pre-charge circuit 2 will be in the conduction state after receiving the first voltage signal, at this time, the capacitive load starts to be charged. When the capacitive load is fully charged, the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 is set to low potential, at this time, the pre-charge circuit 2 is in the non-conduction state, and the capacitive load is no longer charged.

[0051] In order to prevent the existence of current fluctuation, the circuit controller 1 can wait for tens of microseconds, and then set the second output port P10.7 to high potential, that is, output the second voltage signal to the switch circuit 3, the switch circuit 3 will be in the conduction state after receiving the second voltage signal, at this time, the vehicle controller is opened.

[0052] Further, the circuit controller 1 is also used for calculating the pre-charge time of the capacitive load according to the supply voltage, and the target voltage and the capacitance corresponding to the capacitive load.

[0053] Wherein, the supply voltage and the target voltage can be set according to the actual business demand. The specific calculation formula of the pre-charge time of the capacitive load is as follows:

[0054] Vt=Vu*[1–exp(-t / RC)]

[0055] Where Vu is the supply voltage (battery voltage), for example, the supply voltage is set to 24V, Vt is the target voltage corresponding to the capacitive load, t is the pre-charge time of the capacitive load, R and C are the resistance and inductance of the capacitive load, for example, the pre-charge time is determined to be 3RC.

[0056] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the circuit controller 1 can not only calculate the pre-charge time of the capacitive load in real time according to the above formula, but also calculate the pre-charge time of the capacitive load in advance and configure it in the circuit controller 1.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pre-charging circuit 2 includes: a first pre-charging MOSFET Q5 / Q7, a second pre-charging MOSFET Q53, a first voltage divider resistor R329, and a second voltage divider resistor R332; the power input terminal BAT_IN of the vehicle controller 1 is connected to the input terminal of the first voltage divider resistor R329 and the source of the first pre-charging MOSFET Q5 / Q7, respectively; the output terminal of the first voltage divider resistor R329 is connected to the gate of the first pre-charging MOSFET Q5 / Q7 and the input terminal of the second voltage divider resistor R332, respectively; the drain of the first pre-charging MOSFET Q5 / Q7 is connected to the capacitive load; the output terminal of the second voltage divider resistor R332 is connected to the drain of the second pre-charging MOSFET Q53; and the gate and source of the second pre-charging MOSFET Q53 are connected to the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 and grounded, respectively.

[0058] Specifically, the first pre-charge MOSFET Q5 / Q7 and the second pre-charge MOSFET Q53 can be MOSFETs. R329 provides a bias voltage for the first pre-charge MOSFET Q5 / Q7 so that it can be turned on in a controlled manner. The first voltage divider resistor R329 and the second voltage divider resistor R332 form a voltage divider circuit to ensure that the first pre-charge MOSFET Q5 / Q7 can work normally.

[0059] For the embodiment of the application, the circuit controller 1 can control the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 to be turned on or turned off by controlling the voltage value between the gate and the source of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53, and further control the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 to be turned on or turned off. Specifically, when the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 is set to high potential, the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 is turned on, at this time, the first voltage dividing resistor R329 and the second voltage dividing resistor R332 are connected in series to the ground, the first voltage dividing resistor R329 between the gate and the drain of the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 will be voltage-divided, so that the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 changes from the off state to the on state, after being turned on, the voltage of BAT_HS is close to the voltage of the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller, at this time, the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller will charge the capacitive load on the BAT_HS side. After a pre-charge time, the capacitive load is fully charged, the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 is set to low potential, the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 is turned off, at this time, there is no pressure difference between the gate and the source of the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7, the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 is turned off, and the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller no longer charges the capacitive load.

[0061] Among them, the pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 functions to limit current and adjust the switching rate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53. The pre-charge bias resistor R336 functions to provide a bias voltage and provide a discharge circuit for static electricity, so as to protect the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 from being mis-triggered and static breakdown.

[0062] Further, the pre-charge circuit 2 further comprises a pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 and a pre-charge bias resistor R336; the two ends of the pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 are respectively connected with the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 and the gate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53, and the two ends of the pre-charge bias resistor R336 are respectively connected with the gate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 and the ground.

[0063] Among them, the pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 functions to limit current and adjust the switching rate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53.

[0064] Further, the pre-charge circuit 2 further comprises a pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 and a pre-charge bias resistor R336; the two ends of the pre-charge current limiting resistor R335 are respectively connected with the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 and the gate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53, and the two ends of the pre-charge bias resistor R336 are respectively connected with the gate of the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 and the ground.

[0065] Wherein, when encountering a surge voltage, D8 can protect the voltage between the gate and the source of the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 from exceeding the maximum value.

The input end of the third voltage dividing resistor R333 is connected with the emitter of the triode Q6 / Q8, the output end of the third voltage dividing resistor R333 is connected with the base of the triode Q6 / Q8 and the input end of the fourth voltage dividing resistor R337 respectively, the output end of the fourth voltage dividing resistor R337 is connected with the drain of the second switch field effect tube Q10, the gate and the source of the second switch field effect tube Q10 are connected with the second output port P10.7 of the circuit controller 1 and the ground respectively, the collector of the triode Q6 / Q8 is connected with the gate of the first switch field effect tube Q4, the drain and the source of the first switch field effect tube Q4 are connected with the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller and the vehicle controller respectively.

[0067] Wherein, the first switch field effect tube Q4 and the second switch field effect tube Q10 can be MOS tubes, the second switch field effect tube Q10 controls the conduction loop, the third voltage dividing resistor R333 and the fourth voltage dividing resistor R337 form a voltage dividing circuit to ensure that the triode Q6 / Q8 can work normally, when encountering a surge voltage, D11 can protect the voltage between the gate and the source of the first switch field effect tube Q4 from exceeding the maximum value.

[0068] Specifically, after the pre-charge circuit is turned off, the second output port P10.7 of the circuit controller 1 is set to high level, the second switch field effect transistor Q10 is turned on, and the third voltage dividing resistor R333 and the fourth voltage dividing resistor R337 are connected in series to the ground. Since V_BOOST has a high voltage, which is higher than the supply voltage 11V or 12V, the third voltage dividing resistor R333 can divide the voltage, so that there is a voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the triode Q6 / Q8, the triode Q6 / Q8 is turned on, at this time, the gate of the first switch field effect transistor Q4 has a voltage, the voltage of BAT_HS is equivalent to 0, the first switch field effect transistor Q4 is turned from the off state to the on state, after being turned on, the voltage of BAT_HS is close to the voltage of the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller, at this time, the vehicle controller on the BAT_HS side is powered on. Conversely, when the second output port P10.7 of the circuit controller is set to low level, the second switch field effect transistor Q10 is turned off, there is no voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the triode Q6 / Q8, the triode Q6 / Q8 is turned off, at this time, the gate of the first switch field effect transistor Q4 has no voltage, the first switch field effect transistor Q4 is in the off state, and the vehicle controller is turned off.

[0069] It should be noted that, in order to prevent current fluctuation caused by turning on the first switch field effect transistor Q4 when the first pre-charge field effect transistor Q5 / Q7 is not turned off, the embodiment of the present application can wait for tens of microseconds after the pre-charge circuit 2 is turned off, and then control the first field effect transistor Q4 to be turned on, so that the vehicle controller starts to work normally.

[0077] The switch control circuit of the vehicle controller provided by the embodiment of the application can integrate the pre-charge circuit into the vehicle controller, so that the pre-charge circuit and the switch circuit of the controller become a whole control circuit, thereby improving the integration of the vehicle controller, making the control more convenient, and avoiding increasing the overall power consumption of the equipment.

[0078] The embodiment of the application provides a switch circuit control method of a vehicle controller, as shown in the method. Figure 4 The method comprises the following steps.

[0079] In step 101, in response to a vehicle controller start instruction, a pre-charge time of a capacitive load is determined by using a circuit controller.

[0080] For the embodiment of the present application, the capacitive load needs to be pre-charged before the vehicle controller is formally started, at this time, the pre-charge time of the capacitive load needs to be determined. Specifically, the pre-charge time of the capacitive load can be calculated according to the supply voltage, and the target voltage and the capacitance corresponding to the capacitive load. The supply voltage and the target voltage can be set according to the actual business needs. The specific calculation formula of the pre-charge time of the capacitive load is as follows:

[0081] Vt=Vu*[1–exp(-t / RC)]

[0082] Wherein, Vu is the supply voltage (battery voltage), for example, the supply voltage is set to 24V, Vt is the target voltage corresponding to the capacitive load, t is the pre-charge time of the capacitive load, and R and C are the resistance and inductance of the capacitive load, respectively, for example, the pre-charge time is determined to be 3RC.

[0083] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the circuit controller 1 can not only calculate the pre-charge time of the capacitive load in real time according to the above formula, but also can calculate the pre-charge time of the capacitive load in advance and configure it in the circuit controller 1.

[0084] Step 102, sending a first voltage signal to the pre-charge circuit within the pre-charge time.

[0085] For the embodiment of the present application, before the vehicle controller is formally started, the circuit controller 1 will set the first output port P10.1 to high potential according to the real-time calculated pre-charge time or the pre-set pre-charge time, that is, output the first voltage signal to the pre-charge circuit 2 within the pre-charge time.

[0086] Step 103, charging the capacitive load by using the pre-charge circuit based on the first voltage signal.

[0087] For the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first voltage signal, the pre-charge circuit 2 will be in the conducting state, at this time, the capacitive load starts to be charged. Specifically, when the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 is set to high potential, the second pre-charge field effect tube Q53 in the pre-charge circuit is turned on, at this time, the first voltage dividing resistor R329 and the second voltage dividing resistor R332 are connected in series to the ground, the first voltage dividing resistor R329 between the gate and the drain of the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 will divide the voltage, so that the first pre-charge field effect tube Q5 / Q7 changes from the cut-off state to the conducting state, after being turned on, the voltage of BAT_HS is close to the voltage of the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller 1, at this time, the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller charges the capacitive load on the BAT_HS side.

[0088] When the capacitive load is fully charged, the first output port P10.1 of the circuit controller 1 is set to low voltage, the second pre-charge field effect transistor Q53 is turned off, at this time, there is no voltage difference between the gate and the source of the first pre-charge field effect transistor Q5 / Q7, the first pre-charge field effect transistor Q5 / Q7 is turned off, and the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller no longer charges the capacitive load.

[0089] In step 104, after the pre-charge time, the circuit controller sends a second voltage signal to the switching circuit.

[0090] For the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the existence of current fluctuation, the circuit controller 1 can wait for tens of microseconds and then set the second output port P10.7 to high voltage, that is, output the second voltage signal to the switching circuit 3.

[0091] In step 105, according to the second voltage signal, the switching circuit controls the vehicle controller to be turned on.

[0092] For the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the second voltage signal, the switching circuit 3 is in a conducting state, and at this time, the vehicle controller is turned on. Specifically, after the pre-charge circuit is turned off, the second output port P10.7 of the circuit controller is set to high voltage, the second switch field effect transistor Q10 in the switching circuit is turned on, at this time, the third voltage dividing resistor R333 and the fourth voltage dividing resistor R337 are connected in series to the ground. Since V_BOOST has a high voltage, which is higher than the supply voltage 11V or 12V, the third voltage dividing resistor R333 can divide the voltage, so that there is a voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the transistor Q6 / Q8, the transistor Q6 / Q8 is turned on, at this time, there is a voltage at the gate of the first switch field effect transistor Q4, the voltage of BAT_HS is equivalent to 0, the first switch field effect transistor Q4 changes from the off state to the on state, after being turned on, the voltage of BAT_HS is close to the voltage of the power input end BAT_IN of the vehicle controller, at this time, the vehicle controller on the BAT_HS side is powered on and turned on.
