Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a charging pile output fault detection circuit and a detection method, belonging to the technical field of charging piles. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, the capacity of power batteries has increased significantly, and the power and time required for charging have also increased accordingly. Traditional AC charging piles of 7kW or even 3.5kW can no longer meet the user's home needs, so AC fast charging has gradually entered the user's field of vision. AC fast charging is mainly a three-phase AC charging pile with a charging power of up to 22kW. Its charging line voltage is high and the charging current is large. Therefore, the safety management of charging piles is particularly important, especially the short-circuit detection of the output port and the adhesion detection of the relay.

[0003] Before starting charging, the three-phase AC charging pile must ensure that there is no short circuit fault at the output port, otherwise charging should not be started. And the status of the main circuit relay must be identified in time before, during and after charging to avoid starting charging or touching the output circuit when the relay is stuck, which may cause an accident.

[0004] At present, the main method for detecting short circuits in the output of AC charging piles on the market is the signal injection detection method, which applies a voltage source and a feedback circuit to the output circuit through a relay or an isolated power supply, and then the detection circuit detects the feedback signal. It determines whether the output line is currently in a short circuit state based on the feedback signal. This method has certain risks and requires a reliable and complex interlocking circuit, otherwise it is easy to cause serious damage to the circuit board. In addition, the judgment results of this method are relatively general and cannot clearly locate the short circuit loop. If you want to locate a specific short circuit loop, the circuit complexity will increase greatly and the cost will be very high.

[0005] Relay output adhesion detection generally uses relay auxiliary contacts or output voltage recovery. The former is costly, and the latter cannot determine the fault state of single contact adhesion. Summary of the invention

[0058] In this embodiment, the feedback signal includes one of a low level, a high level and a PWM waveform, and four feedback signals constitute a state code; specifically, the output short circuit detection and adhesion detection circuit 11 will continuously output four feedback signals SIG_1, SIG_2, SIG_3, and SIG_4 after power-on, and each feedback signal includes three states: low level (represented by 0), high level (represented by 1), and PWM waveform (represented by F). The states of the four feedback signals are recorded in a state code: 0000~FFFF.

[0059] When the first relay K1, the second relay K2, the third relay K3, and the fourth relay K4 are all disconnected, the status code is 1111. Accordingly, closing any number of relays will change the status code. For example, when the first relay K1 is closed and the second relay K2, the third relay K3, and the fourth relay K4 are disconnected, the status code becomes F1FF. The microcontroller 3 determines whether there is an output relay adhesion fault and which circuit the fault occurs in by analyzing the status code value and combining it with the current working status of the charging pile.

[0061] When the adhesion test is qualified, the microcontroller 3 controls the fourth relay K4 of the N_in line to close briefly before charging, during which the status code is read to analyze whether there is an output short circuit fault and which circuit or circuits the fault occurs in. The specific code value-fault comparison table is shown in the following table:

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] In particular, there are some fault states where the status codes are the same. For example, in the table above, the corresponding code values ​​of multiple faults are 0FFF. In fact, the PWM waveforms represented by F are different in timing. In this case, you only need to sample multiple PWM waveforms synchronously and take several bits to determine their binary values. The two underlined F It means that their binary values ​​are the same. Based on this information, the faults corresponding to the same code value can be distinguished.

[0065] This embodiment implements a simple optocoupler, diode and resistor, combined with a simple query of the configured code value-fault comparison table, which can locate the output short circuit fault and adhesion fault of the three-phase AC charging pile in detail and completely. It does not require an additional low-voltage DC source and a complex interlocking protection circuit, nor does it require expensive relays and precision sampling circuits, making the entire circuit simple and reliable.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the sixth resistor R6 should preferably be power resistors with a package size of 2512 and a resistance of 510k ohms; the first diode D1, the second diode D2, the third diode D3, the fourth diode D4, the fifth diode D5, and the sixth diode D6 should preferably be rectifier diodes with a reverse withstand voltage greater than 1kV; the first optocoupler U1, the second optocoupler U2, the third optocoupler U3, the fourth optocoupler U4, the fifth optocoupler U5, and the sixth optocoupler U6 should preferably be DC optocouplers with a current transfer ratio greater than 100%.

[0067] Specifically: after the three-phase four-wire incoming line 2 is connected to work, the output short-circuit detection and adhesion detection circuit 11 generates a four-bit status code with a code value range of 0000~FFFF. The status code is output to the microcontroller 3. The microcontroller 3 compares and analyzes whether there is a adhesion fault and which line the fault occurs in according to the stored code value-fault comparison table; if a adhesion fault is detected, the microcontroller 3 will terminate the current charging process, send a fault signal, stop the operation of the charging pile to notify maintenance.

[0068] After eliminating the possibility of adhesion fault in the circuit, the microcontroller 3 sends a drive signal to the output short circuit detection and adhesion detection circuit 11 to control the fourth relay K4 in the output short circuit detection and adhesion detection circuit 11 to temporarily close, and continue to compare and analyze whether there is an output short circuit fault and in which circuit the fault occurs according to the stored code value-fault comparison table. If an output short circuit fault is detected, the microcontroller 3 will terminate the current charging process, send a fault signal, stop the operation of the charging pile to notify maintenance.
