Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of battery research and development and manufacturing technology, specifically but not limited to a multi-range battery testing device and testing method based on multi-serial port communication. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of battery research and development and manufacturing, battery testing equipment is needed when sampling and testing batteries during the research and development of new batteries or after production.

[0003] Most current general-purpose battery testing equipment is single-range testing device, meaning the error is calculated as a percentage of the full-scale output current. Some manufacturers have also developed multi-range battery testing equipment. Multi-range equipment calculates the error as a percentage of each range, which improves accuracy compared to single-range equipment, offers versatility, and reduces customer procurement costs.

[0004] Currently, there are two main ways to implement multi-range testing equipment on the market:

[0005] The first method uses analog hardware power supplies to implement multiple ranges. Its advantage is that all indicators are relatively good, but its biggest drawback is that the number of ranges is fixed and the current value of each range is also fixed. It is very inflexible to use and requires separate development for each specification, which results in huge R&D and production costs and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] The second approach uses multiple power nodes and a bus (SPI / CAN) to control multiple digital power supplies to achieve multiple ranges. However, this method has drawbacks: bus communication incurs switching overhead, resulting in poorer current response metrics and fluctuating output ripple. Differences between power nodes can also lead to errors in constant voltage values. Larger current ripple can affect the accuracy of battery testing, and in the power battery field, it can impact the accuracy of road spectrum testing.

[0007] In view of this, there is a need to provide a new structure or method in order to solve at least some of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0097] Example 1

[0098] This embodiment uses a testing device with four measurement ranges as an example.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-range battery testing device based on multi-serial port communication consists of one intermediate layer controller and four independent power supply nodes (the number of nodes corresponds to the number of ranges, which can be arbitrarily expanded, limited only by the number of communication interfaces of the MCU used by the intermediate layer controller). The hardware connection between the one intermediate layer controller and the four independent power supply nodes is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the test ranges of independent power nodes can be the same or different. If the current of each power node is 10A, then the four nodes are considered as a four-range device, with a full-scale range of 40A, range one of 10A, range two of 20A, range three of 30A, and so on. If the current of power node 1 is 1A, the current of power node 2 is 9A, the current of power node 3 is 40A, and the current of power node 4 is 50A, then it is considered as a four-range device, with a full-scale range of 100A, range one of 1A, range two of 10A, range three of 50A, and so on.

[0100] like Figure 1 As shown, the intermediate layer controller provides 4 pulse synchronization signals and 4 communication interfaces to interface with 4 target power nodes. That is, each power node corresponds to one pulse synchronization signal and one communication interface. The four power nodes are connected in parallel to the battery under test.

[0101] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the control logic and power circuit topology. Vctrl, Ictrl1, Ictrl2, Ictrl3, and Ictrl4 represent the control voltage and four ranges of control current sent by the intermediate layer controller to the power node via the communication interface. Vfdb1, Vfdb2, Vfdb3, and Vfdb4 represent the real-time voltage values ​​returned by the power node to the intermediate layer controller via the communication interface. Isen1, Isen2, Isen3, and Isen4 represent the real-time current values ​​returned by the power node to the intermediate layer controller via the communication interface.

[0102] The testing process is explained in detail below:

[0103] A constant voltage loop regulator runs in the intermediate layer controller, while the four power nodes below each run their own dual-loop PI regulator for voltage and current. Specifically:

[0104] In the intermediate layer controller, Vctrl is subtracted from Vfdb1, Vfdb2, Vfdb3, and Vfdb4 uploaded by the power nodes to calculate the error value. This error value is then fed into regulators PI1, PI2, PI3, and PI4 for calculation, and finally into limiters LIM1, LIM2, LIM3, and LIM4 for limiting calculation. Finally, the data enters the multiplexing MUX module, where the maximum value is calculated and distributed to the four power nodes.

[0105] In the power node, the maximum value is then subtracted from Vfdb1, Vfdb2, Vfdb3, and Vfdb4 uploaded by the current power node, and then adjusted by PI regulators PI1_1, PI2_1, PI3_1, and PI4_1 and limited by limiters LIM1_1, LIM2_1, LIM3_1, and LIM4_1 respectively. The output values ​​of limiters LIM1_1, LIM2_1, LIM3_1, and LIM4_1 are used to perform a minimum value operation with the given control currents Ictrl1, Ictrl2, Ictrl3, and Ictrl4. The minimum value is then subtracted from the real-time current values ​​Isen1, Isen2, Isen3, and Isen4. After being buffered by PI regulators PI1_2, PI2_2, PI3_2, and PI4_2 and limited by limiters LIM1_2, LIM2_2, LIM3_2, and LIM4_2, the outputs are sent to the non-inverting inputs of four comparators COMP1, COMP2, COMP3, and COMP4. The negative phase inputs of comparators COMP1, COMP2, COMP3, and COMP4 are connected to the hardware pulse synchronization signals PWM_SYN1, PWM_SYN2, PWM_SYN3, and PWM_SYN4 issued by the intermediate layer controller. These signals control the initial phase of the triangular wave generator, synchronizing it every second with a 90-degree phase shift. The output signals of comparators COMP1, COMP2, COMP3, and COMP4 are then transmitted via power transistor drivers DRV1, DRV2, DRV3, and DRV4 to four independent BUCK power supplies.

[0106] In practical operation, different test voltages and currents can be controlled by controlling the control voltage Vctrl and the control currents Ictrl1, Ictrl2, Ictrl3, and Ictrl4. The constant voltage loop in the intermediate controller can regulate the output of the four voltages to the same value, stabilizing the output voltage across multiple ranges. The pulse synchronization signal with phase-shifting function sent by the intermediate controller to different power nodes effectively reduces power supply ripple and improves current accuracy through phase-shifting control. For example, in this embodiment with four power nodes, assuming a switching frequency of 100kHz and a period of 10µs, the pulse synchronization signal will send a pulse signal to power node 1 at second 0, activating power node 1; a pulse signal to power node 2 at 2.5µs, activating power node 2; a pulse signal to power node 3 at 5µs, activating power node 3, and so on. This pulse synchronization signal will synchronize every 10 seconds because the clocks of each power node are not necessarily identical and will slowly shift over time, requiring a period of synchronization.

[0107] The multi-range battery testing device based on multi-serial port communication proposed in this invention operates a dual-loop voltage and current regulator at the power node, while a constant voltage loop regulator is performed in the intermediate layer controller. Each power node inputs an independent pulse synchronization signal, which can reduce ripple current and improve current accuracy through phase-shift control. At the same time, the independent communication interface between the intermediate layer controller and each power node can improve the current response index.

The effects or advantages described in the specification may not be apparent in actual experimental cases due to uncertainties in specific conditions or other factors, and such descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
