[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control circuit for a power battery circuit, which can solve the technical problem that when a large external capacitor is present in an existing power battery circuit, the negative contactor is directly attracted, which may cause a large current shock due to capacitor charging and cause a adhesion failure of the negative contactor.

[0041] See also Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control circuit for a power battery circuit, including: a capacitance detection circuit and a controller.

[0042] The capacitance detection circuit is connected in parallel with the negative contactor of the power battery circuit. The controller is connected to the capacitance detection circuit and the negative contactor of the power battery circuit and is configured as follows:

[0043] In response to a high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is detected by the capacitance detection circuit;

[0044] Determine whether the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed a preset threshold;

[0045] If so, the negative contactor is controlled to close.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the power battery circuit includes a battery, a positive contactor, a negative contactor and a load, which are connected to form a circuit. The power battery circuit also includes a pre-charge contactor and a pre-charge resistor. The pre-charge resistor and the pre-charge contactor are connected in series and then in parallel with the positive contactor. If there is a capacitor outside the power battery circuit, the relationship between the external capacitor and the power battery circuit can be simplified as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 1As shown, the external capacitor includes an X capacitor and a Y capacitor. When the X capacitor and the Y capacitor are large, if the negative contactor is directly attracted, the charging of the X capacitor and the Y capacitor will generate a large current shock, which may cause the negative contactor to have a adhesion failure. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention adds a capacitance detection circuit. When the controller responds to the high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit, it first detects the capacitance of the power battery circuit through the capacitance detection circuit. Only when the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed the preset threshold value, the negative contactor is controlled to be attracted. This can avoid the adhesion failure of the negative contactor as much as possible, ensuring the safety of the power battery circuit and the safety of the staff.

[0047] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see Figure 3 As shown, the capacitance detection circuit includes a voltage collector V1, a first controllable switch U1, a switch control circuit and a detection resistor R L The voltage collector V1 is connected in parallel with the negative contactor of the power battery circuit, and the first controllable switch U1 and the detection resistor R are connected in series. L The voltage collector V1 is then connected in parallel with the negative contactor of the power battery circuit. The switch control circuit is connected to the first controllable switch U1 and the controller. Optionally, the first controllable switch U1 is a photoelectric coupling switch. Photoelectric coupling switches can achieve optical isolation between circuits, eliminate electrical noise and interference, help improve circuit stability and reliability, and ensure accurate signal transmission.

[0048] The step of responding to the high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit and detecting the capacitance of the power battery circuit by the capacitance detection circuit includes:

[0049] The controller controls the switch control circuit to turn on the first controllable switch U1, and collects the capacitor voltage of the power battery circuit in real time through the voltage collector V1;

[0050] The capacitance of the power battery circuit is then calculated based on the capacitance voltage of the power battery circuit collected in real time and the resistance value RL of the detection resistor.

[0051] Specifically, it is usually required that after the controller receives the high voltage instruction, the negative contactor pull-in time cannot exceed 1s. In order to reduce the capacitive reactance detection current and the detection time requirement cannot be too long, the resistor R L and detection time t are set.

[0052] The relationship between the capacitance voltage Ut of the power battery circuit and time:

[0053] Ut=U0+(Us-U0)*(1-e^(-t / R L C));

[0054] Where: U0 is the initial voltage of the capacitor, in V; Us is the battery voltage, in V; t is the capacitor charging time, in s; R L is the resistance of the detection resistor, in Ω; C is the equivalent capacitance of the X capacitor and the Y capacitor, in F.

[0055] Let U0 = 0V, then: Ut = Us*(1-e^(-t / RC)); Generally, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is required to be no more than 50uF. Assuming the detection time is 300ms, R L =20kΩ, and substituting into the above formula, we get Ut = 0.26Us. That is, 300ms after the command is issued, if Ut ≤ 0.26Us, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is considered to exceed the preset threshold, and the negative contactor is prohibited from closing. If Ut > 0.26Us, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is considered to meet the requirement, and the negative contactor can be directly closed.

[0056] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see Figure 2 As shown, the switch control circuit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a second controllable switch Q1. Optionally, the second controllable switch Q1 is a MOS transistor. MOS transistors can control the flow of current based on the control voltage of an input signal, thereby realizing the switching function of the circuit, which is simple and practical.

[0057] A first end of the first resistor is connected to the pull-up voltage, and a second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the first controllable switch U1;

[0058] A first end of the second controllable switch Q1 is connected to a second end of the first controllable switch U1, and a second end of the second controllable switch Q1 is grounded;

[0059] A first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the controller, and a second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to a third end of the second controllable switch Q1;

[0060] A first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the third end of the second controllable switch Q1 , and a second end of the third resistor R3 is grounded.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, when the controller outputs a high level, the second controllable switch Q1 is turned on, thereby turning on the left side of the first controllable switch U1, and the capacitor of the power battery circuit begins to charge, thereby calculating the capacitance of the power battery circuit. The circuit structure is simple and reliable.

[0062] As an optional implementation manner, in one embodiment of the invention, after determining whether the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed a preset threshold, the method includes:

[0063] If not, report that there is a fault in the power battery circuit.

[0064] As mentioned above, when the capacitance of the power battery circuit is required not to exceed 50uF, assuming the detection time is 300ms, 300ms after the instruction is issued, if Ut≤0.26Us, it is considered that the capacitance of the power battery circuit exceeds the preset threshold, and the negative contactor is prohibited from closing. At the same time, a fault of excessive capacitive reactance in the power battery circuit is reported to the staff to ensure the safety of the power battery circuit and the staff.

[0065] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a control system for a power battery circuit, comprising the aforementioned control circuit for the power battery circuit. The control circuit comprises: a capacitance detection circuit and a controller.

[0066] The capacitance detection circuit is connected in parallel with the negative contactor of the power battery circuit. The controller is connected to the capacitance detection circuit and the negative contactor of the power battery circuit and is configured as follows:

[0067] In response to a high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is detected by the capacitance detection circuit;

[0068] Determine whether the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed a preset threshold;

[0069] If so, the negative contactor is controlled to close.

[0070] Specifically, see Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the power battery circuit includes a battery, a positive contactor, a negative contactor and a load, which are connected to form a circuit. The power battery circuit also includes a pre-charge contactor and a pre-charge resistor. The pre-charge resistor and the pre-charge contactor are connected in series and then in parallel with the positive contactor. If there is a capacitor outside the power battery circuit, the relationship between the external capacitor and the power battery circuit can be simplified as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 1 As shown, the external capacitor includes an X capacitor and a Y capacitor. When the X capacitor and the Y capacitor are large, if the negative contactor is directly attracted, the charging of the X capacitor and the Y capacitor will generate a large current shock, which may cause the negative contactor to have a adhesion failure. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention adds a capacitance detection circuit. When the controller responds to the high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit, it first detects the capacitance of the power battery circuit through the capacitance detection circuit. Only when the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed the preset threshold value, the negative contactor is controlled to be attracted. This can avoid the adhesion failure of the negative contactor as much as possible, ensuring the safety of the power battery circuit and the safety of the staff.

[0071] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see Figure 3As shown, the capacitance detection circuit includes a voltage collector V1, a first controllable switch U1, a switch control circuit and a detection resistor R L The voltage collector V1, the first controllable switch U1, and the detection resistor R are connected in series. L The voltage collector V1 is then connected in parallel with the negative contactor of the power battery circuit. The switch control circuit is connected to the first controllable switch U1 and the controller. Optionally, the first controllable switch U1 is a photoelectric coupling switch. Photoelectric coupling switches can achieve optical isolation between circuits, eliminate electrical noise and interference, help improve circuit stability and reliability, and ensure accurate signal transmission.

[0072] The step of responding to the high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit and detecting the capacitance of the power battery circuit by the capacitance detection circuit includes:

[0073] The controller controls the switch control circuit to turn on the first controllable switch U1, and collects the capacitor voltage of the power battery circuit in real time through the voltage collector V1;

[0074] The capacitance of the power battery circuit is then calculated based on the capacitance voltage of the power battery circuit collected in real time and the resistance value RL of the detection resistor.

[0075] Specifically, it is usually required that after the controller receives the high voltage instruction, the negative contactor pull-in time cannot exceed 1s. In order to reduce the capacitive reactance detection current and the detection time requirement cannot be too long, the resistor R L and detection time t are set.

[0076] The relationship between the capacitance voltage Ut of the power battery circuit and time:

[0077] Ut=U0+(Us-U0)*(1-e^(-t / R L C));

[0078] Where: U0 is the initial voltage of the capacitor, in V; Us is the battery voltage, in V; t is the capacitor charging time, in s; R L is the resistance of the detection resistor, in Ω; C is the equivalent capacitance of the X capacitor and the Y capacitor, in F.

[0079] Let U0 = 0V, then: Ut = Us*(1-e^(-t / RC)); Generally, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is required to be no more than 50uF. Assuming the detection time is 300ms, R L=20kΩ, and substituting into the above formula, we get Ut = 0.26Us. That is, 300ms after the command is issued, if Ut ≤ 0.26Us, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is considered to exceed the preset threshold, and the negative contactor is prohibited from closing. If Ut > 0.26Us, the capacitance of the power battery circuit is considered to meet the requirement, and the negative contactor can be directly closed.

[0080] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see Figure 2 As shown, the switch control circuit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a second controllable switch Q1. Optionally, the second controllable switch Q1 is a MOS transistor. MOS transistors can control the flow of current based on the control voltage of an input signal, thereby realizing the switching function of the circuit, which is simple and practical.

[0081] A first end of the first resistor is connected to the pull-up voltage, and a second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the first controllable switch U1;

[0082] A first end of the second controllable switch Q1 is connected to a second end of the first controllable switch U1, and a second end of the second controllable switch Q1 is grounded;

[0083] A first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the controller, and a second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to a third end of the second controllable switch Q1;

[0084] A first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the third end of the second controllable switch Q1 , and a second end of the third resistor R3 is grounded.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, when the controller outputs a high level, the second controllable switch Q1 is turned on, thereby turning on the left side of the first controllable switch U1, and the capacitor of the power battery circuit begins to charge, thereby calculating the capacitance of the power battery circuit. The circuit structure is simple and reliable.

[0089] Step S30: If yes, control the negative contactor to be closed.

[0090] The control method for the power battery circuit of an embodiment of the present invention, when responding to a high-voltage control instruction on the power battery circuit, first detects the capacitance of the power battery circuit through the capacitance detection circuit. Only when the capacitance of the power battery circuit does not exceed a preset threshold value, the negative contactor is controlled to be attracted. This can minimize adhesion failures of the negative contactor and ensure the safety of the power battery circuit and personnel.

[0093] In step S102 , the capacitance of the power battery circuit is calculated based on the capacitance voltage of the power battery circuit collected in real time and the detection resistance of the capacitance detection circuit.

[0094] Specifically, it is usually required that after the controller receives the high voltage instruction, the negative contactor pull-in time cannot exceed 1s. In order to reduce the capacitive reactance detection current and the detection time requirement cannot be too long, the resistor R L and detection time t are set.

[0095] The relationship between the capacitance voltage Ut of the power battery circuit and time:

[0096] Ut=U0+(Us-U0)*(1-e^(-t / R L C));

[0097] Where: U0 is the initial voltage of the capacitor, in V; Us is the battery voltage, in V; t is the capacitor charging time, in s; R L is the resistance of the detection resistor, in Ω; C is the equivalent capacitance of the X capacitor and the Y capacitor, in F.
