Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of signal detection and relates to a high-precision detection method and circuit for voltage fluctuation changes at the terminal of an energy storage battery. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the production and use of power batteries are increasing year by year, and the capacity of retired power batteries is also increasing annually. These retired batteries still possess considerable capacity and lifespan, allowing for secondary use in fields with lower energy and power requirements, such as power storage, communication base stations, and low-speed electric vehicles. Electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is particularly suitable for analyzing changes in battery health status, and based on the test results, internal characteristic parameters of the battery can be deduced, further analyzing the performance evolution of the battery from a mechanistic perspective.
[0003] Power batteries typically consist of multiple units. First, individual cells are connected in series or parallel to form a battery module. Then, multiple battery modules form a battery pack, further forming a power battery containing a large number of individual cells. The voltage level is usually in the hundreds of volts. Under high voltage conditions, the voltage response amplitude generated by current excitation is relatively small, making it difficult to accurately detect the voltage response signal.
[0004] Current traditional measuring equipment is designed for individual cells and cannot perform online testing of battery packs. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new detection circuit to achieve high-precision detection of this type of signal. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a high-precision detection method and circuit for voltage fluctuation changes in energy storage batteries. This method can improve upon the limitations of existing technologies in accurately measuring minute voltage disturbance signals in high-voltage battery modules, thereby enabling direct measurement of the impedance spectrum of high-voltage battery modules.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-precision detection circuit for voltage fluctuations at the terminal of an energy storage battery includes a two-stage balanced capacitor charging and discharging circuit, a half-bridge compensation capacitor circuit, a feedback control signal generation circuit, an instrumentation amplifier U1, a 16-bit ADC analog-to-digital converter U2, an optocoupler, and a microprocessor control system.
[0008] The two-stage balancing capacitor circuit includes a primary balancing capacitor C1, a secondary balancing capacitor C2, a charging resistor R1, a charging resistor R5, a discharging resistor R3, a charging switch K1, and a discharging switch K2; the half-bridge compensation capacitor circuit includes a compensation capacitor C3, a diode D2, switches K3 and K4, and a charging resistor R7; the feedback control signal generation circuit includes a high-precision 16-bit DAC converter, a high-precision programmable gain amplifier U3, zero-crossing comparators U4 and U5, two RC charging and discharging circuits, and a MOSFET driver U6;
[0009] The primary balancing capacitor C1 and the secondary balancing capacitor C2 are connected through a charging resistor R1, and connected to the compensation capacitor through a diode D1 and a resistor R10. The two balancing capacitors C1 and C2 are connected to the positive terminal of the battery under test through a charging resistor R5 and a charging switch K1, and their negative terminals are connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The half-bridge switches K3 and K4 are connected in series to the positive terminal of the battery under test, and their common terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the compensation capacitor C3. The positive terminal of the compensation capacitor C3 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery under test through a diode D2 and a charging resistor R7. The positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor C2 and the positive terminal of the battery under test are connected to the 16-bit ADC converter U2 through a high-precision programmable instrumentation amplifier U1, and connected to the microprocessor control system through an optocoupler. The positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the feedback loop through sampling resistors R2 and R4, forming a differential input with the voltage signal given by the 16-bit DAC converter. After being amplified by the instrumentation amplifier, the half-bridge switch control signal is generated by two zero-crossing comparators U4 and U5, and then controlled by the MOSFET driver to control the half-bridge switches K3 and K4 respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the control method for this circuit specifically includes the following steps:
[0011] S1: Before testing, close switches K1 and K4, and open switches K2 and K3. The two-stage balancing capacitors C1 and C2, as well as the compensation capacitor C3, are in a charging state. After charging to the voltage of the battery under test, open the charging switch K1. At this time, the differential input voltage of the programmable instrumentation amplifier U1 is close to zero. Simultaneously, the microprocessor control system acquires the battery terminal voltage through the ADC converter U2 and outputs a corresponding proportional analog voltage signal to the inverting input of the instrumentation amplifier U3 through the 16-bit DAC converter.
[0012] S2: The voltage values of the two-stage balancing capacitors are input to the non-inverting input terminal of the instrumentation amplifier U3 through sampling resistors R2 and R4. When the voltage value is lower than the set value, the instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a low level, generating two opposite control signals to control switch K3 to close and K4 to open. The voltage at the positive terminal of compensation capacitor C3 rises to twice the capacitor voltage, and then quickly compensates the voltage of the balancing capacitor through R10, D1 and R1.
[0013] S3: When the voltage of the balancing capacitor returns to the set voltage and exceeds the set value of the 16-bit DAC, the instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a high level, generating two opposite control signals to control switch K3 to open and K4 to close. The compensation capacitor C3 stops charging the voltage of the balancing capacitor. Steps S2 and S3 are repeated, and the voltage of the balancing capacitor is always maintained at the voltage of the battery under test. At the same time, the positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor C2 and the positive terminal of the battery are detected by the instrumentation amplifier U1 and the AD converter U2 to detect small changes in the battery terminal voltage.
[0014] S4: After the test is completed, disconnect the half-bridge switch K3, close the half-bridge switch K4 and the discharge switch K2, and discharge the two-stage balancing capacitors C1, C2 and the compensation capacitor C3. When the voltage drops to the safe voltage, disconnect the discharge switch K2.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, the secondary balancing capacitors C1 and C2 and the compensation capacitor C3 are charged, specifically including the following steps:
[0016] S11: Before the test, close switches K1 and K4, and open switches K2 and K3. If the initial voltage of the primary balancing capacitor C1 is 0, then its relevant potential is:
[0017]
[0018] Among them, U C1+ and U C1- These are the positive and negative potentials of the primary balancing capacitor C1, U B+ It is the DC voltage of the battery under test, U B- τ is the negative electrode potential of the battery under test, τ1 is the time constant of charging the balancing capacitor C1, R5 is the resistance value of the charging resistor R5, C1 is the capacitance value of the balancing capacitor C1, and t is the closing time of switch S2.

[0022] If the initial voltage of the compensation capacitor C3 is 0, then its relevant potential is:
[0023]
[0024] U C3+ and U C3-These are the positive and negative potentials of the compensation capacitor C3, τ3 is the charging time constant of the compensation capacitor C3, R7 is the resistance value of the charging resistor R7, and U D2 It is the forward voltage drop of diode D2.
[0025] S12: After the closing time t of switches K1 and K4, the capacitor is fully charged. The expression for the charging time t is:
[0026] t≥5*max{τ1, τ2, τ4}
[0027] After charging is complete, the voltage of the secondary balancing capacitor equals the voltage of the battery under test. Then, disconnect charging switch K1. At this point, the voltage at the non-inverting input of the programmable amplifier equals the voltage of the battery under test, and the voltage at the inverting input equals the voltage of the secondary balancing capacitor. The relevant potential expressions are as follows:
[0028] U 1+ =U 1- =U C2+ =U B+
[0029] Among them, U 1+ and U 1- These are the potentials of the non-inverting and inverting input terminals of the instrumentation amplifier U1, respectively.
[0030] S13: Before the test begins, the battery terminal voltage is detected by ADC converter U2, and the corresponding proportional secondary balancing capacitor set voltage value is calculated by the microprocessor control system. The voltage is then output to the inverting input of the high-precision programmable instrumentation amplifier U3 via DAC converter. The relevant voltage expression is as follows:
[0031]
[0032] Among them, U 3- R is the voltage at the inverting input of instrumentation amplifier U3, and R2 and R4 are the resistance values of sampling resistors R2 and R4, respectively.
[0033] Furthermore, in step S2, voltage compensation is performed on the two-stage balancing capacitors C1 and C2 through a half-bridge compensation capacitor circuit, specifically including the following steps:
[0034] S21: The voltage between the primary balancing capacitor C1 and the secondary balancing capacitor C2 will slowly decrease during the detection process. The relevant voltage expression is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] Among them, U C1 (t), U C2(t) represents the voltage of the first-stage balancing capacitors C1 and C2 at time t after the charging switch K1 is turned off, U0 is the initial charging voltage of the two-stage balancing capacitors, i.e., the terminal voltage of the battery under test, and τ c1 τ is the leakage time constant of the primary balancing capacitor C1. c2 R is the leakage time constant of the secondary balancing capacitor C2. leak1 R is the leakage resistance of capacitor C1. leak2 C1 is the leakage resistance of capacitor C2, C2 is the capacitance of capacitor C1, and C2 is the capacitance of capacitor C2.
[0037] S22: The voltage of the primary balancing capacitor C1 is input to the positive input terminal of the instrumentation amplifier U3 through sampling resistors R2 and R4. It is compared with the set voltage value at the inverting input terminal to output a control signal. The relevant potential expression is as follows:
[0038]
[0039] Among them, U C1 (t) represents the voltage value of the balancing capacitor at time t after the charging switch K1 is turned off, U 3+ This is the potential at the non-inverting input terminal of instrumentation amplifier U3. When the voltage of capacitor C1 drops below the set value, a low-level signal is output.
[0040] S23: After the instrumentation amplifier U3 detects a small change in the capacitor voltage by using a high amplification factor, when the voltage drops slightly below the set value, the instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a low-level signal. This signal is input to the non-inverting input of the zero-crossing comparator U4 and the inverting input of the zero-crossing comparator U5, respectively. After passing through the MOSFET driver U6, two opposite control signals are generated to control the half-bridge switch K3 to close and K4 to open. At this time, the compensation capacitor C3 compensates the voltage of capacitors C1 and C2 through diode D1 and resistor R10. The expression for the positive voltage of the compensation capacitor C3 at this time is as follows.
[0041] U C3+ =2U B+
[0042] Furthermore, in step S3, the compensation capacitor C3 charges the balancing capacitor C1, and the charging voltage expression is as follows:
[0043]
[0044] Among them, U C1(0) represents the voltage value at the moment when switch K3 is closed after capacitor C1 is de-energized and its voltage drops below the set voltage. When the voltage of capacitor C1 recovers to the set value and exceeds the set value, instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a high-level signal. This signal is input to the non-inverting input of zero-crossing comparator U4 and the inverting input of zero-crossing comparator U5, respectively. After passing through MOSFET driver U6, two opposite control signals are generated to control half-bridge switch K3 to open and K4 to close, stopping the power supply. At this time, the voltage expression of compensation capacitor C3 is as follows:
[0045] U C3+ =U B+ -U D2
[0046] By continuously cycling the above charging and discharging process, the voltage of the two-stage balancing capacitors is always maintained at the voltage of the battery under test.
[0047] Furthermore, in the above control process, the two reverse signals of control switches K3 and K4 have a dead time, which is calculated as follows:
[0048]
[0049] Where R8 and R9 are the resistance values of resistors R8 and R9, and C5 and C4 are the capacitance values of capacitors C5 and C4. The control signal waveform diagram is attached. Figure 3 As shown.
[0050] Furthermore, in step S4, discharging the two-stage balancing capacitors C1 and C2 and the compensation capacitor C3 specifically includes the following steps:
[0051] S41: After completion, stop AD detection, close discharge switch K2, and the initial voltage of balancing capacitor C1 is U. B+ Then its related potential is:
[0052]
[0053] Where τ5 is the time constant for the discharge of balancing capacitor C1, and t is the closing time of switch S3; similarly, the calculations for balancing capacitor C2 and compensation capacitor C3 are similar.
[0054] S42: After the discharge switch is closed for 5-10 τ1 cycles, all the capacitors in the circuit have been discharged to a safe voltage. The positive terminal potential of the capacitor is close to the negative terminal potential. Disconnect the discharge switch K2. After the discharge is completed, the balancing capacitor C1 does not store energy.
[0055] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the invention utilizes the voltage of multi-stage balancing capacitors to offset the high voltage of the battery under test, while improving the problem of voltage leakage of the capacitor itself through the pre-stage capacitor and compensation capacitor. The battery terminal voltage and the balancing capacitor terminal voltage are differentially amplified to achieve high-precision detection of small disturbance signals under high voltage bias, providing hardware support for direct detection of impedance spectrum under high voltage module, and providing a solution for small signal detection under such high voltage bias.

[0070] This requires charging each stage of the capacitors, specifically including the following steps:
[0071] S11: Before the test, close switches K1 and K4, and open switches K2 and K3. If the initial voltage of the primary balancing capacitor C1 is 0, then its relevant potential is:

[0080] S12: After the closing time t of switches K1 and K4, the capacitor is fully charged. The expression for the charging time t is:
[0081] t≥5*max{τ1, τ2, τ4}
[0082] After charging is complete, the voltage of the secondary balancing capacitor equals the voltage of the battery under test. Then, disconnect charging switch K1. At this point, the voltage at the non-inverting input of the programmable amplifier equals the voltage of the battery under test, and the voltage at the inverting input equals the voltage of the secondary balancing capacitor. The relevant potential expressions are as follows:
[0083] U 1+ =U 1- =U C2+ =U B+
[0084] Among them, U 1+ and U 1- These are the potentials of the non-inverting and inverting input terminals of the instrumentation amplifier U1, respectively.
[0085] S13: Before the test begins, the battery terminal voltage is detected by ADC converter U2, and the corresponding proportional secondary balancing capacitor set voltage value is calculated by the microprocessor control system. The voltage is then output to the inverting input of the high-precision programmable instrumentation amplifier U3 via DAC converter. The relevant voltage expression is as follows:

[0088] S2: The voltage values of the two-stage balancing capacitors are input to the non-inverting input terminal of the instrumentation amplifier U3 through sampling resistors R2 and R4. When the voltage value is lower than the set value, the instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a low level, generating two opposite control signals to control switch K3 to close and K4 to open. The voltage at the positive terminal of compensation capacitor C3 rises to twice the capacitor voltage, and then quickly compensates the voltage of the balancing capacitor through R10, D1 and R1.

This signal is input to the non-inverting input of the zero-crossing comparator U4 and the inverting input of the zero-crossing comparator U5, respectively. After passing through the MOSFET driver U6, two opposite control signals are generated to control the half-bridge switch K3 to close and K4 to open. At this time, the compensation capacitor C3 compensates the voltage of capacitors C1 and C2 through diode D1 and resistor R10. The expression for the positive voltage of the compensation capacitor C3 at this time is as follows.
[0096] U C3+ =2U B+
[0097] S3: When the voltage of the balancing capacitor returns to the set voltage, if it exceeds the set value, the instrumentation amplifier U3 outputs a high level, generating two opposite control signals to open switch K3 and close switch K4. The compensation capacitor C3 stops charging the balancing capacitor. Steps S2 and S3 are repeated, and the balancing capacitor voltage is always maintained at the voltage of the battery under test. Simultaneously, the positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor C2 and the positive terminal of the battery are detected by the instrumentation amplifier U1 and the ADC converter U2 to detect minute changes in the battery terminal voltage. In this step, the compensation capacitor C3 charges the balancing capacitor C1, and the charging voltage expression is as follows:

This signal is input to the non-inverting input of zero-crossing comparator U4 and the inverting input of zero-crossing comparator U5, respectively. After passing through MOSFET driver U6, two opposite control signals are generated to control half-bridge switch K3 to open and K4 to close, stopping the power supply. At this time, the voltage expression of compensation capacitor C3 is as follows:

The positive terminal potential of the capacitor is close to the negative terminal potential. Disconnect the discharge switch K2. After the discharge is completed, the balancing capacitor C1 does not store energy.
[0110] The voltage of the primary balancing capacitor C1 during the entire testing process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Due to the presence of the secondary balancing capacitor C2, the potential fluctuation at the inverting input terminal of the instrumentation amplifier U1 is much smaller than the voltage fluctuation of the primary balancing capacitor C1, thereby improving the detection accuracy of small fluctuations in the terminal voltage of the energy storage battery.
[0111] In summary, this invention can greatly improve the leakage problem of capacitors, so that the capacitor voltage is always maintained at the level of the battery voltage under test, thereby enabling high-precision measurement of small voltage disturbance signals under high voltage bias.

The two balancing capacitors C1 and C2 are connected to the positive terminal of the battery under test through a charging resistor R5 and a charging switch K1, and their negative terminals are connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The half-bridge switches K3 and K4 are connected in series to the positive terminal of the battery under test, and their common terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the compensation capacitor C3. The positive terminal of the compensation capacitor C3 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery under test through a diode D2 and a charging resistor R7. The positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor C2 and the positive terminal of the battery under test are connected to a 16-bit ADC converter through a high-precision programmable instrumentation amplifier U1, and then connected to a microprocessor control system through an optocoupler. The positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the feedback loop through sampling resistors R2 and R4, forming a differential input with the voltage signal given by the 16-bit DAC converter. After being amplified by the instrumentation amplifier, the half-bridge switch control signal is generated by two zero-crossing comparators U4 and U5, and then controlled by a MOSFET driver to control the half-bridge switches K3 and K4 respectively.

S3: When the voltage of the balancing capacitor recovers to the set voltage and exceeds the set value of the 16-bit DAC, the output signal of the instrumentation amplifier U3 passes through the zero comparators U4 and U5 to generate two opposite control signals to control switch K3 to open and K4 to close. The compensation capacitor C3 stops charging the voltage of the balancing capacitor. The cycle of steps S2 and S3 is repeated, and the voltage of the balancing capacitor is always maintained at the original terminal voltage of the energy storage battery under test. At the same time, the positive terminal of the secondary balancing capacitor C2 and the positive terminal of the battery detect the slight changes in the terminal voltage of the energy storage battery through the instrumentation amplifier U1 and the 16-bit ADC converter U2.
