[0024] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0025] Figure 1 The system block diagram of the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery into a dry battery according to the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery into a dry battery according to the present invention is reusable. Therefore, the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery into a dry battery includes a charging module 10 connected to the battery cell of the lithium battery and a discharge module 20. The input end of the charging module 10 is connected to an external power supply to charge the battery cell of the lithium battery through the charging module 10, thereby realizing the repeated use of the lithium battery.

[0026] The output end of the discharge module 20 is connected to a load, and the output voltage of the discharge module 20 The discharge curve is the same as that of a dry battery. Thus, the discharge module 20 can achieve that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 changes linearly following the cell voltage and load current of the lithium battery, and can achieve the same output voltage range as that of a dry battery.

[0027] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown is the discharge module of the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery to a dry battery according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the discharge module 20 includes a reference voltage clamping module 21, a cell voltage sampling module 22, a load current sampling module 23, a current regulation module 24, an output voltage feedback module 25, and a power management module 26. Among them, the output ends of the reference voltage clamping module 21, the cell voltage sampling module 22, the load current sampling module 23, and the current regulation module 24 are all connected to the reference voltage ; the output end of the output voltage feedback module 25 is connected to the feedback voltage . The two input ends of the power management module 26 are respectively connected to the reference voltage and the feedback voltage , and its output end is connected to the output voltage output by the power management module 26, and is used to make the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage , so that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 is consistent with the output voltage of a dry battery, realizing the conversion of a lithium battery to a dry battery.

[0028] As Figure 3 shown, the feedback voltage is generated by dividing the output voltage of the discharge module 20 through resistor voltage division. In this embodiment, the output voltage feedback module 25 includes a sixth resistor and a seventh resistor connected in series as a second resistor voltage division structure, and the input end of the second resistor voltage division structure is connected to the output voltage of the discharge module 20. The connection point of the sixth resistor and the seventh resistor is used as the output end to provide the feedback voltage , and the other end of the seventh resistor (i.e., the high-voltage side of the output voltage feedback network) is used as the input end of the output voltage feedback module 25 to connect to the output voltage , and the other end of the sixth resistor is grounded.

[0029] Therefore, the feedback voltage is:

[0030] ,

[0031] Among them, is the output voltage, is the resistance value of the sixth resistor, is the resistance value of the seventh resistor.

[0032] The power management module 26 adopts a traditional buck step-down structure, which includes an error amplifier 261, a driving module 262, a group of parallel buck circuit switching tubes 263, and a filtering circuit 264 connected in sequence. The buck circuit switching tubes 263 include a first PMOS tube and a first NMOS tube. The drains of the first PMOS tube and the first NMOS tube are both connected to the filtering circuit 264. The source of the first PMOS tube is connected to the cell voltage of the lithium battery The source of the first NMOS tube is grounded. The error amplifier 261, the driving module 262, and the buck circuit switching tubes 263 are arranged on the chip. The filtering circuit 264 is arranged outside the chip and includes an inductor with one end connected to the buck circuit switching tubes 263 and a grounding capacitor connected to the other end of the inductor. The connection point of the inductor and the grounding capacitor is the output end of the power management module 26 for connecting a load to provide an output voltage and load current .

[0033] The cell voltage sampling module 22 includes a resistor voltage dividing structure with an input end connected to the cell voltage . The resistor voltage dividing structure includes a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series. The high-voltage side of the resistor voltage dividing structure is connected to the cell voltage of the lithium battery , and the low-voltage side is grounded. The connection point of the first resistor and the second resistor is the output end of the resistor voltage dividing structure and is connected to the reference voltage . Thus, the reference voltage realizes the sampling of the cell voltage through the resistor voltage dividing structure.

[0034] Therefore, the reference voltage is generated by the resistor voltage division of the resistor voltage dividing structure. Without considering other modules, the output voltage of the discharge module 20 passes through the resistor voltage division to generate an initial reference voltage as:

[0035] ,

[0036] Among them, is the cell voltage of the lithium battery, is the second resistor.

[0037] The load current sampling module 23 includes a current sampling amplifier 231 and a current sampling switch transistor N2 connected to the output end of the current sampling amplifier. The positive voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier is simultaneously connected to the sampling current and a compensation resistor . The other end of the compensation resistor is grounded to obtain the voltage drop of the sampling current across the compensation resistor . The sampling current is obtained by sampling the load current . The inverting voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier is connected to one end of a fourth resistor and the low-voltage side of the current sampling switch transistor N2. The other end of the fourth resistor is grounded. The gate of the current sampling switch transistor N2 is connected to the input end of the current sampling amplifier 231, and the high-voltage side of the current sampling switch transistor N2 is connected to the reference voltage . In this embodiment, the current sampling switch transistor is an NMOS transistor. Thus, the voltage drop of the internal resistance compensation current output by the load current sampling module across the fourth resistor is on the inverting voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier.

[0038] The sampling current is obtained by sampling the load current through a load current sampling circuit. There are also many circuit implementation methods for the load current sampling circuit, which will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit is 1 / N. Then the sampling current is:

[0039] ,

[0040] where 1 / N is the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit, is the load current.

[0041] The internal resistance compensation current output by the load current sampling module is:

[0042] ,

[0043] where is the sampling current, is the compensation resistor, is the fourth resistor, 1 / N is the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit, is the load current.

[0044] That is to say, the load current sampling module 23 is used to output an internal resistance compensation current proportional to the load current .

[0045] Among them, the compensation resistor can be external (i.e., set outside the chip) or internal; by using the external compensation resistor , different load current compensation coefficients can be easily achieved. The compensation resistor , the fourth resistor , and the value of the sampling ratio 1 / N are adjustable, and the design is very flexible. The design adjustment is based on the numerical simulation obtained finally. Thus, the load current sampling module 23 can sample the load current and simulate the voltage change caused by the internal resistance of the battery cell through the compensation resistor to achieve the compensation of the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0046] The current adjustment module 24 is used to provide a fixed adjustment current , and the adjustment current is used to adjust the range of the output voltage.

[0047] The adjustment current is an additionally introduced deviation amount used to adjust the reference voltage to achieve the same output voltage range as that of the dry battery.

[0048] In this embodiment, the adjustment current is generated by the voltage generated by the adjustment current flowing through the fifth resistor . The adjustment current is:

[0049] ,

[0050] Among them, is the voltage generated by the adjustment current, is the fifth resistor. Among them, the voltage generated by the adjustment current is a fixed voltage value. The design of the two values of the voltage V0 generated by the adjustment current and the fifth resistor is also very flexible, as long as the final obtained formula can fit, there is no rigid requirement.

[0051] The reference voltage clamping module 21 is used to clamp the reference voltage within the range of the threshold voltage, so as to ensure that the range of the output voltage is consistent with the dry battery voltage and ensure that the output voltage will not be too high or too low.

[0052] The reference voltage clamping module 21 has various implementation manners, as long as it satisfies clamping the reference voltage within the range of the threshold voltage so that the corresponding output voltage is consistent with the dry battery. For example, in this embodiment, the reference voltage clamping module 21 adopts one of the basic circuit structures, including a clamping circuit amplifier. The positive input terminal of the clamping circuit amplifier is connected to the threshold voltage, and the negative input terminal and the output terminal are both connected to the reference voltage to achieve overvoltage protection.

[0053] In this embodiment, the reference voltage should be clamped between and .

[0054] In summary, the reference voltage satisfies the following formula:

[0055] ,

[0056] where is the regulating current, is the cell voltage of the lithium battery, is the reference voltage, is the second resistor, is the first resistor, is the internal resistance compensation current output by the load current sampling module.

[0057] Therefore, the reference voltage is:

[0058] ,

[0059] The power management module 26 can make the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage through loop regulation. Therefore, the feedback voltage satisfies .

[0060] The output voltage is:

[0061] ,

[0062] which can be simplified to:

[0063] ,

[0064] where , , , and the values of these three numbers can be obtained by curve fitting.

[0065] It can be clearly seen from the output formula that the output voltage It decreases linearly with the decrease of the cell voltage and also decreases linearly with the increase of the load current, fully fitting the discharge characteristics of dry batteries.

[0066] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown are the system block diagram and circuit diagram of the discharge module of the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery to a dry battery according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Among them, the output terminals of the reference voltage clamping module 21', the cell voltage sampling module 22', and the current regulation module 24' are all connected to the reference voltage ; the output terminals of the load current sampling module 23' and the output voltage feedback module 25' are all connected to the feedback voltage .

[0068] The two input terminals of the power management module 26' are respectively connected to the reference voltage and the feedback voltage , and its output terminal is connected to the output voltage output by the power management module 26', for making the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage , so that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 is consistent with the output voltage of the dry battery, realizing the conversion of a lithium battery to a dry battery.

[0069] As Figure 5 shown, the specific structures of the reference voltage clamping module 21', the cell voltage sampling module 22', the current regulation module 24', and the output voltage feedback module 25' and the connection manners of their input terminals and output terminals are the same as those of the reference voltage clamping module 21, the cell voltage sampling module 22, the current regulation module 24, and the output voltage feedback module 25 in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Thus, the reference voltage of the buck circuit consists of two parts. The first is to sample the cell voltage through a resistor voltage division structure; the second part is to regulate the current to adjust the magnitude of the reference voltage to meet the output voltage range conforming to the output voltage of the dry battery.

[0071] As Figure 5 shown, the difference between the discharge module of the conversion circuit for converting a lithium battery to a dry battery according to the second embodiment of the present invention and the first embodiment is only that the output terminal of the load current sampling module 23' is connected to the feedback voltage Connected; and the load current sampling module 23' includes a current sampling amplifier and a current sampling switch tube connected to the output end of the current sampling amplifier. The reverse voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier is simultaneously connected to the sampling current and the compensation resistor Connected, the compensation resistor The other end of is connected to the cell voltage of the lithium battery Connected, so that the reverse voltage input end obtains the cell voltage of the lithium battery Minus the sampling current The voltage drop on the compensation resistor The sampling current Is obtained by sampling the load current The positive-phase voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier is connected to one end of the fourth resistor And the high-voltage side of the current sampling switch tube. The other end of the fourth resistor Is connected to the cell voltage of the lithium battery The gate of the current sampling switch tube is connected to the input end of the current sampling amplifier. The low-voltage side of the current sampling switch tube is connected to the feedback voltage , in this embodiment, the current sampling switch tube is a PMOS tube. Thus, the reverse voltage input end of the current sampling amplifier is the internal resistance compensation current output by the load current sampling module The voltage drop on the fourth resistor .

[0072] The feedback voltage Consists of two parts. One part is the output voltage Obtained by resistor voltage division, and the other part is obtained by the load current sampling module 23' sampling the load current.

[0077] Among them, Is the voltage generated by the regulating current, is the fifth resistor. The regulating current generates a voltage is a fixed voltage value. The design of the regulating current generating the two values of voltage V0 and the fifth resistor is also very flexible, as long as the final obtained formula can fit, there are no rigid requirements.

[0078] In summary, the reference voltage satisfies the following formula:

[0079] ,

[0080] wherein, is the regulating current, is the core voltage of the lithium battery, is the reference voltage, is the second resistor, is the first resistor.

[0081] Therefore, the reference voltage is:

[0083] When only considering resistor voltage division, the initial feedback voltage generated by resistor voltage division is:

[0084] ,

[0085] wherein, is the output voltage, is the resistance value of the sixth resistor, is the resistance value of the seventh resistor.

[0086] The load current sampling module can sample the load current with a sampling ratio of 1 / N, then the sampling current is:

[0087] ,

[0088] where 1 / N is the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit, is the load current.

[0091] wherein, is the sampling current, is the compensation resistor, is the fourth resistor, 1 / N is the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit, is the load current. Among them, the compensation resistor can be external or internal; by using an external compensation resistor , different load current compensation coefficients can be conveniently achieved.

[0092] In summary, the feedback voltage satisfies the following formula:

[0093] ,

[0094] The feedback voltage is:

[0095] .

[0096] The power management module 26 can make the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage through loop regulation. Therefore, the feedback voltage satisfies .

[0097] The output voltage is:

[0101] Among them, , , , and the values of these three numbers can be obtained through curve fitting.

[0102] It can be clearly seen from the output formula that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 decreases linearly with the decrease of the cell voltage and decreases linearly with the increase of the load current, which completely fits the discharge characteristics of dry batteries.

[0103] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 show, the system block diagram and circuit diagram of the discharge module of the lithium battery to dry battery conversion circuit according to the third embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0104] As Figure 6 shows, the discharge module 20 includes a reference voltage clamping module 21", a cell voltage sampling module 22", a load current sampling module 23", a current regulation module 24", an output voltage feedback module 25", and a power management module 26". Among them, the output terminals of the reference voltage clamping module 21" and the cell voltage sampling module 22" are both connected to the reference voltage ; the output terminals of the load current sampling module 23", the current regulation module 24", and the output voltage feedback module 25" are all connected to the feedback voltage Connection

[0105] The two input terminals of the power management module 26” are respectively connected to the reference voltage and the feedback voltage and its output terminal is connected to the output voltage output by the power management module 26” for making the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage so that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 is consistent with the output voltage of the dry battery, realizing the conversion of the lithium battery to the dry battery.

[0106] Thus, the reference voltage realizes the sampling of the cell voltage through the resistor voltage division structure. The feedback voltage consists of three parts. The output voltage passes through resistor voltage division, load current sampling and are all the same. The only difference is that the current regulation module 24” is connected to the feedback voltage Figure 5 so that the feedback voltage additionally increases the regulation current to adjust the magnitude of the reference voltage to meet the output voltage range in line with the dry battery output voltage. For adjusting the reference voltage size to meet the output voltage range in line with the dry battery output voltage.

[0107] The reference voltage is generated by resistor voltage division. The reference voltage is:

[0109] When only considering resistor voltage division, the initial feedback voltage generated by resistor voltage division is:

[0110] ,

[0111] wherein, is the output voltage, is the resistance value of the sixth resistor, is the resistance value of the seventh resistor.

[0112] The load current sampling module can sample the load current with a sampling ratio of 1 / N. Then the sampling current is:

[0113] ,

[0114] wherein, 1 / N is the sampling ratio of the load current sampling circuit, is the load current.

Among them, the compensation resistor can be external or internal; by using the external compensation resistor , different load current compensation coefficients can be easily achieved.

[0118] In this embodiment, the regulating current generates a voltage by flowing through the fifth resistor to generate the regulating current is:

[0119] ,

[0120] wherein, is the voltage generated by the regulating current, is the fifth resistor. Among them, the voltage V0 generated by the regulating current is a fixed voltage value, and the design of the two values of the voltage V0 generated by the regulating current and the fifth resistor is also very flexible, as long as the final obtained formula can be fitted, there is no rigid requirement.

[0121] In summary, the feedback voltage satisfies the following formula:

[0122] ,

[0123] The feedback voltage is:

[0124] ,

[0125] The power management module 26 can make the feedback voltage equal to the reference voltage through loop regulation. Therefore, the feedback voltage satisfies .

[0126] The output voltage is:

[0127] ,

[0128] can be simplified to:

[0129] ,

[0130] wherein, , , , the values of these three numerical values can be obtained by curve fitting.

[0131] It can be clearly seen from the output formula that the output voltage of the discharge module 20 decreases linearly with the decrease of the cell voltage and decreases linearly with the increase of the load current, completely fitting the discharge characteristics of dry batteries.

[0132] Since all the above structures will output a very low voltage when the voltage is low and the load current is large, and cannot be used as a battery; or output a relatively high voltage when the cell voltage is high and the load current is small, resulting in damage to the subsequent electronic components, while the output voltage range of dry batteries is 0.6V - 1.58V, the reference voltage clamping module described above can solve this problem. The reference voltage clamping module is used to clamp the reference voltage within the range of the threshold voltage, so as to ensure that the output voltage range is consistent with the dry battery voltage and ensure that the output voltage will not be too high or too low. The reference voltage clamping module has various implementation methods, as long as it satisfies clamping the reference voltage within the range of the threshold voltage so that the corresponding output voltage is consistent with the dry battery.
