Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of circuits, and in particular to a calibration circuit. Background Art

[0002] Electric bicycle charging piles are mainly used to charge two-wheeled electric bicycles, two-wheeled / three-wheeled electric motorcycles, electric four-wheeled vehicles and low-speed electric cars. Generally, the output power can be controlled by controlling the opening / closing of the relay. Since there are inductive and capacitive power devices in the electric vehicle charger, at the moment when the relay is connected to the power supply and disconnected from the power supply, if the input power supply is at the peak voltage point of the sine wave, the relay contacts will form sparks and arcs, which may damage the relay and affect the service life of the relay.

[0003] The related technology uses a zero-crossing detection circuit to detect the zero-crossing point of the input power sine wave in real time, and feeds back the detected zero-crossing signal to the microcontroller unit (MCU). The MCU can calculate the period according to the frequency of the input power sine wave, and can calculate the position of the zero-crossing point of the next period of the input power sine wave according to the closing / opening action time of the relay, and then control the relay to delay closing / opening at the zero-crossing point, thereby solving the damage caused by the instantaneous access of the load to high voltage. However, the related technology assumes that the difference in action time between relays of the same model is the same, and does not consider the difference in action time caused by relay consistency and mechanical wear. Therefore, at the moment when the relay is connected to the power supply and disconnected from the power supply, the relay contacts may also form sparking and arcing phenomena, which reduces the service life of the relay and thus reduces the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 An optional structural diagram of a calibration circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention Figure 1 .

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the calibration circuit includes: a control component 11, at least one output voltage sampling circuit 12, at least one charging port 13, at least one relay 14 and a power supply port 15. The second end of the control component 11 is connected to the first end of each output voltage sampling circuit 12; the second end of each output voltage sampling circuit 12 is respectively connected to the second end of each relay 14 and the first end of each charging port 13; the power supply port 15 is respectively connected to the first end of the control component 11 and the first end of the relay 14. The control component 11 is used to control each relay 14 to be in the first state within a preset time when each charging port 13 is in a non-charging state, divide the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15, and obtain the first voltage at different times; the first state of each relay 14 includes each relay 14 being closed or each relay 14 being disconnected. Each output voltage sampling circuit 12 is used to divide the charging voltage of each charging port 13 when each relay 14 is in the first state, obtain the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, and transmit the second voltage at different times to the control component 11; the control component 11 is also used to calculate the time calibration value when each relay 14 is in the first state according to the first voltage at different times and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13; and, based on the time calibration value, the state of each relay 14 is delayed when each charging port 13 is in the charging and disconnecting action next time.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, when each charging port 13 is in a non-charging state, the control component 11 is used to control the opening or closing of each relay 14 within a preset time, and the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15 is divided to obtain the first voltage at different times; at least one output voltage sampling circuit 12 is designed at the output port, and each output voltage sampling circuit 12 is used to divide the charging voltage of each charging port 13 when each relay 14 is opened or closed, so as to obtain the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, and finally, the first voltage at different times obtained and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 are used to calculate the time calibration value of each relay 14 when it is opened or closed, and the calibration value is used to delay the state of each relay 14 when each charging port 13 is in the charging and disconnecting action next time.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control component 11 detects the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15 crossing the zero point, and immediately controls each relay 14 to close or open. Since each relay 14 has an action time, the actual closing or opening time of each relay 14 has been delayed. According to the closing or opening time of each relay 14 detected by the control component 11, the charging voltage zero crossing time of each charging port 13 is obtained near the closing or opening time of each relay 14. Finally, according to the power supply voltage zero crossing time of the power supply port 15 and the charging voltage zero crossing time of each charging port 13, the action calibration value of the closing or opening of each relay 14 is obtained, and then delay control is performed.

[0048] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, when each relay 14 is controlled to be disconnected or closed, the control component 11 divides the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15 within a preset time to obtain the first voltage at different times, and each output voltage sampling circuit 12 divides the charging voltage of each charging port 13 to obtain the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13; based on the first voltage at different times and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, the time calibration value of each relay 14 when it is disconnected or closed is calculated, and the calibration value is used to delay the state of each relay 14 when each charging port 13 is in the charging and disconnecting action next time. This method reduces the arcing of the contacts of each relay 14 as much as possible when it is disconnected or closed, thereby protecting the contacts of each relay and improving the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, based on Figure 8 , Fig. 9 An optional structural diagram of a calibration circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention Figure 9 .

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the calibration circuit further includes: a protection line 17 and a neutral line 18 , and the second end of each charging port 13 is connected to the first end of the protection line 17 and the first end of the neutral line 18 , respectively.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective line 17 is used to prevent the device housing from being charged and thus causing electric shock accidents. The neutral line 18 is used to enable the power supply device to work normally.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 111 is also used to determine the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 based on the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 when each relay 14 is in the first state; obtain the first time in the time corresponding to the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13; the first time is the time corresponding to the charging voltage at a preset zero point; based on the first voltage and the first time at different times, calculate the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the first state; based on the time calibration value, the next time each charging port 13 is in a charging and power-off action, the state of each relay 14 is delayed controlled.

When the second voltage divider component 121 is Fig.10 The resistor 121 and the third voltage divider component 122 Fig.10 When the resistor 122 is used, the charging voltage corresponding to the first charging port 131 is calculated by using the second voltage at different times corresponding to the first charging port 131 as an example, as shown in the following formulas (1) and (2):

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] In the above formula (1) and formula (2), R1 is the resistor 121, R2 is the resistor 122; VAD is the second voltage value collected by the analog-to-digital converter port 1112 in the controller 111; and Vout is the charging voltage of the first charging port 131.

When each relay 14 is in the disconnected state, the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 is calculated in the same manner as formula (1) and formula (2).

[0080] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, when each relay 14 is in the first state, the controller 111 determines the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 based on the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13; obtains the first time in the time corresponding to the charging voltage at different times, and the first time is the time corresponding to the charging voltage at a preset zero point; based on the first time and the first voltage at different times, calculates the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the first state, thereby improving the accuracy of the action time calibration of each relay 14, thereby increasing the life of each relay, and further improving the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 111 is also used to determine the power supply voltage at different times based on the first voltage at different times; based on the first time, obtain the second time in the time corresponding to the power supply voltage at different times; the second time is the time corresponding to the power supply voltage at a preset zero point, and the first time and the second time are subtracted to obtain the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the first state.

[0082] Exemplarily, when each relay 14 is in the closed state, the controller 111 determines the power supply voltage at different times based on the first voltage at different times, and finds the time T corresponding to the power supply voltage at the zero crossing point near the third time Tont1 among the power supply voltages at different times. IN1 , that is, in the power supply voltage at different times, T IN1 The corresponding power supply voltage is 0V, and T IN1 Less than Tont1. IN1 The difference is calculated to obtain the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the closed state. Fig.10 The resistors 1121 and 1122 in the circuit are used to calculate the power supply voltage as shown in the following formulas (3) and (4):

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] In the above formula (3) and formula (4), R3 and R4 are resistors 1121 and 1122; VIN is the power supply voltage; and VP is the first voltage collected by the voltage collection port 1111 in the controller 111.

[0086] Exemplarily, when each relay 14 is in the disconnected state, the controller 111 determines the power supply voltage at different times based on the first voltage at different times, and finds the time T corresponding to the power supply voltage at the zero crossing point near the fourth time Tont2 among the power supply voltage at different times. IN2 , that is, in the power supply voltage at different times, V IN2 The corresponding power supply voltage is 0V, T IN2 is smaller than Tont2 and closest to Tont2. IN2 By making a difference, the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the disconnected state is obtained. When each relay 14 is in the disconnected state, the power supply voltage is calculated in the same way as formula (3) and formula (4).

[0087] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 111 determines the power supply voltage at different times based on the first voltage at different times; obtains the second time in the time corresponding to the power supply voltage at different times; the second time is the time corresponding to the power supply voltage at the preset zero crossing point, and finally the first time obtained is subtracted from the second time to obtain the time calibration value of each relay 14 in the first state. The calibration value is used to delay the action time of each relay 14, thereby increasing the service life of each relay 14 and improving the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 111 is further used to obtain a difference by subtracting a preset half-cycle time from a time calibration value; and to perform delay control on the state of each relay 14 when each charging port 13 is in a charging and power-off action next time.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset half-cycle time and the time calibration value when each relay 14 is in the closed state are subtracted to obtain the difference value, and the next time each charging port 13 is in the charging action, the difference value is used to delay the closing state of each relay 14. Or, the preset half-cycle time and the time calibration value when each relay 14 is in the disconnected state are subtracted to obtain the difference value, and the next time each charging port 13 is in the power-off action, the difference value is used to delay the disconnected state of each relay 14.

[0090] It can be understood that, in some embodiments of the present invention, in summary, by designing at least one output voltage sampling circuit 12 at the output port, when each relay 14 is in a closed or open state, the control component 11 is used to divide the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15 to obtain the first voltage at different times; each output voltage sampling circuit 12 is used to divide the charging voltage of each charging port 13 to obtain the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13; based on the first voltage at different times and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, the power supply voltage at different times and the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 are obtained; among the power supply voltage at different times and the charging voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, the corresponding time when the voltage is 0 that meets the conditions is found; using the corresponding time when the voltage is 0 that meets the conditions, the time calibration value of the closed or open state of each relay 14 is calculated, and finally, using the time calibration value, the state of each relay 14 is delayed controlled when each charging port 13 is in the charging and disconnecting action next time. The method solves the difference in action time caused by the consistency and mechanical wear of each relay 14, greatly eliminates the sparking and arcing phenomena of the contacts of each relay 14, and improves the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, based on Fig. 9 , Fig.10 An optional structural diagram of a calibration circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention Figure 10 .

[0092] The calibration circuit also includes: resistor 19 and resistor 20; the controller 111 also includes a first input port 1113, a second input port 1114, a third input port 1115, and a fourth input port 1116; the first end of the resistor 19 is connected to the first input port 1113 and the neutral line 18, respectively, and the second end of the resistor 19 is connected to the second input port 1114 and the second end of the first charging port 131, respectively. The first end of the resistor 20 is connected to the neutral line 18 and the third input port 1115, respectively; the second end of the resistor 20 is connected to the fourth input port 1116 and the second end of the second charging port 132, respectively. Resistors 19 and 20 are current sampling resistors of the metering chip, which are used to measure the output current. When the first voltage divider component 112 includes: resistor 1121 and resistor 1122; the second voltage divider component 121 is resistor 121; and the third voltage divider component 122 is resistor 122, as Fig.10 shown.

[0093] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, when each relay 14 is controlled to be disconnected or closed, the controller 111 uses the resistors 1121 and 1122 to divide the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15 within a preset time to obtain the first voltage at different times, and the resistors 121 and 122 respectively divide the charging voltages of the first charging port 131 and the second charging port 132 to obtain the second voltages at different times corresponding to the first charging port 131 and the second charging port 132; based on the first voltage at different times and the second voltages at different times corresponding to the first charging port 131 and the second charging port 132, the time calibration value of each relay 14 when it is disconnected or closed is calculated, and the calibration value is used to delay the state of each relay 14 when the first charging port 131 and the second charging port 132 are in the charging and disconnecting action next time. This method reduces the arcing of the contacts of each relay 14 as much as possible when it is disconnected or closed, thereby protecting the contacts of each relay 14 and improving the utilization rate of the charging device.

[0094] Based on the above calibration circuit, an embodiment of the present invention provides a calibration method, which is applied to the above calibration circuit, such as Fig.11 As shown, the method includes: S101-S103.

[0095] S101. When each charging port is in a non-charging state, the calibration circuit controls each relay to be in a first state within a preset time through a control component, divides the power supply voltage of the power supply port, and obtains a first voltage at different times; the first state of each relay includes each relay being closed or disconnected.

[0096] S102. When each relay is in the first state, the calibration circuit divides the charging voltage of each charging port through each output voltage sampling circuit to obtain a second voltage corresponding to each charging port at different times, and transmits the second voltage corresponding to each charging port at different times to the control component.

[0097] S103, the calibration circuit calculates the time calibration value when each relay is in the first state according to the first voltage at different times and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port through the control component; and, based on the time calibration value, the state of each relay is delayed controlled when each charging port is in the charging and disconnecting action next time.

[0098] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, when each charging port 13 is in a non-charging state, the calibration circuit controls each relay 14 to be in the first state within a preset time through the control component 11, divides the power supply voltage of the power supply port 15, and obtains the first voltage at different times; the first state of each relay 14 includes each relay being closed or disconnected; when each relay 14 is in the first state, the calibration circuit divides the charging voltage of each charging port 13 through each output voltage sampling circuit 12, obtains the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13, and transmits the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 to the control component 11; the calibration circuit calculates the time calibration value when each relay 14 is in the first state according to the first voltage at different times and the second voltage at different times corresponding to each charging port 13 through the control component 11; and, based on the time calibration value, the state of each relay 14 is delayed when each charging port 13 is in a charging and disconnecting action next time. This method ensures that each relay 14 closes or opens when the power supply voltage at the power supply port 15 is at the zero point of the sine wave, thereby solving the difference in action time caused by the consistency and mechanical wear of each relay 14, greatly eliminating the sparking and arcing phenomena of the contacts of each relay 14, and improving the utilization rate of the charging device.
