In the field of electric vehicles, wake-up circuits can significantly reduce energy consumption and improve endurance efficiency, especially in the case of frequent starting and stopping in urban driving.

In addition, in smart devices, wake-up circuits also help improve the response speed and overall performance of the device.

[0003] However, in actual use, there are the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1.

In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] See also Figure 1The present invention provides a wake-up circuit, including an energy supply end, a wake-up drive module and a to-be-awakened module, wherein the wake-up drive module includes a first triode Q1, a first transistor Q2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a capacitor C1 and an optical coupler U1, wherein the emitter of the first triode Q1 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the energy supply end, the collector of the first triode Q1 is electrically connected to the first end of the first transistor Q2, the base of the first triode Q1 is electrically connected to the first resistor R1, the capacitor C1 and the negative electrode of the energy supply end in sequence, the midpoint of the first resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor Q2, the second end of the first transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the anode of the emitter end of the optical coupler U1, the gate of the first transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the second resistor R2 and the negative electrode of the energy supply end in sequence, the cathode of the emitter end of the optical coupler U1 is electrically connected to the supply end, and the cathode of the emitter end of the optical coupler U1 is electrically connected to the supply end. The negative electrode of the energy end is electrically connected, the receiving end of the optical coupler U1 is electrically connected to the module to be awakened, the input voltage of the energy supply end is V1, the threshold voltage of the first transistor Q2 is V2, the resistance value of the first resistor R1 is r1, and the resistance value of the second resistor R2 is r2, satisfying: V1*r1 / (r1+r2)<V2, that is, when the capacitor C1 is fully charged, the gate voltage of the first transistor Q2 is less than its turn-on threshold voltage, thereby turning off the first transistor Q2 to achieve a single wake-up. When the energy supply end stops supplying power, the capacitor C1 can be quickly discharged through the second resistor R2 to prepare for the next wake-up. The present invention can not only realize a single wake-up of the post-stage circuit and eliminate the huge power consumption generated by continuous wake-up, but also can be repeatedly awakened in a short time, while reducing power consumption, it can also improve functionality and effectively reduce costs.

[0039] As an embodiment of the present invention, the resistance value of the first resistor R1 and the resistance value of the second resistor R2 are both adjustable. By adjusting the resistance values ​​of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the discharge speed of the capacitor C1 can be adjusted, thereby meeting various usage requirements and effectively improving the usage range of the wake-up circuit. It has the characteristic of wide adaptability. A third resistor R3 is provided between the cathode of the transmitting end of the optocoupler U1 and the negative electrode of the energy supply end. During operation, the optocoupler U1 can be effectively reduced in voltage to avoid damage caused by excessive voltage at both ends of the transmitting end of the optocoupler U1.

[0040] See also Figure 2 The present invention provides a wake-up method, the wake-up method comprising:

[0041] S1: The energy supply end supplies power to the wake-up drive module, the first transistor Q1 is turned on, and the energy supply end charges the capacitor C1. At this time, the capacitor C1 is approximately short-circuited, and the voltage of the gate of the first transistor Q2 is higher than its turn-on threshold voltage. Therefore, the first transistor Q2 is turned on, and the energy supply end forms a conduction loop with the optical coupler U1. The transmitting end of the optical coupler U1 is powered, and the receiving end is turned on and wakes up the module to be awakened;

[0042] S2: After the capacitor C1 is fully charged, the capacitor C1 is approximately disconnected, and the voltage of the gate of the first transistor Q2 is lower than its conduction threshold voltage, so the first transistor Q2 is turned off, and the voltage of the energy supply end is only applied to the first transistor Q1, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and the conduction loop between the energy supply end and the optical coupler U1 is disconnected, so that the transmitting end of the optical coupler U1 is powered off, resulting in the disconnection of the receiving end of the optical coupler U1, which can realize a single wake-up of the wake-up module and avoid huge power consumption;

[0043] S3: After the energy supply end stops supplying power to the wake-up drive module, the first transistor Q1 is turned off, and the capacitor C1 is discharged through the second resistor R2 to prepare for the next wake-up. That is, at this time, except for the capacitor C1 and the second resistor R2, all other components stop working.

[0044] The present invention wakes up the module to be awakened when the capacitor C1 is charging, and stops waking up the module to be awakened when the capacitor C1 is fully charged, so as to achieve a single awakening of the module to be awakened, avoid huge power consumption caused by long-term awakening of the module to be awakened, and effectively reduce costs. When the energy supply end stops supplying power, the capacitor C1 is discharged, and all the electric energy contained in the capacitor C1 is released through the second resistor R2. When waking up next time, the energy supply end can continue to charge the capacitor C1 to make it approximately short-circuited, thereby not affecting the conduction of the first transistor Q2, and realizing the function of multiple awakenings.

[0045] See also Figure 3 The present invention provides an energy storage system, including an inverter, the above-mentioned wake-up circuit, a control circuit and an energy storage module.
