[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] First, see Figure 1-3 The present invention discloses a zero-volt emergency power replenishment system 1 for lithium batteries, which is used to replenish power for lithium batteries in a zero-volt state. When a lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, the circuit inside the lithium battery cannot work normally due to the lack of normal power supply, and the external power supply cannot charge the lithium battery normally through the BMS system. At the same time, the lithium battery cannot provide external power through the BMS system. The lithium battery can be a single battery or a battery pack composed of multiple batteries.

[0026] The lithium battery zero-volt emergency power supply system 1 includes a management control module 11, an activation input module 12, and an input-output module 14. The management control module 11 is connected to the lithium battery, and the management control module 11 is connected to the input-output module 14. The management control module 11 monitors and controls the charging and discharging process of the lithium battery, obtains the parameters of the lithium battery, and detects the remaining power of the lithium battery. The activation input module 12 is connected to the external activation system 2 to supply low-voltage and low-current power to the lithium battery, and gradually restores the lithium battery to normal. The input of low voltage and low current can avoid damage to the lithium battery. The external activation system 2 obtains the lithium battery parameters in real time, and the lithium battery parameters include real-time remaining power, voltage, current and other data; when the lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, the activation input module 12 is connected to the external activation system 2 for low-voltage and low-current power supply. The external activation system 2 presets a remaining power threshold. According to the real-time remaining power of the lithium battery exceeding the remaining power threshold, the external activation system 2 stops supplying low-voltage and low-current power to the lithium battery.

[0027] Specifically, when the lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, the activation input module 12 is connected to the external activation system 2, and low-voltage and low-current power is supplied through the external activation system 2. When the external activation system 2 is supplying low-voltage and low-current power, the external activation system 2 detects and obtains lithium battery parameters, including real-time remaining power, voltage and other parameter values. When the lithium battery charging reaches the remaining power threshold preset in the external activation system 2, the external activation system 2 stops supplying low-voltage and low-current power to the lithium battery, and allows the lithium battery to supply power at a normal voltage value, so that the lithium battery can be restored to a normal state of use, and bypasses the management and control module 11 at the same time, and there is no need to disassemble the lithium battery for maintenance, thereby improving convenience. The external activation system 2 has a built-in charging circuit that can provide low-voltage and low-current power supply. The external activation system 2 has a built-in detection module that can detect the remaining power inside the connected lithium battery. Since the lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, and there are many reasons for being in a zero-volt state, a low-voltage and low-current power supply is required to ensure that the lithium battery can be restored to a normal state. It is impossible to supply power according to the normal voltage value of the input and output module 14 to avoid damage to the lithium battery.

[0028] As an embodiment, a control switch is provided inside the external activation system 2, and the control switch is used to connect or disconnect the external activation system to power the lithium battery. A control switch is provided inside the external activation system 2, and the control switch can realize power disconnection or normal power supply. According to the detection of the remaining power inside the connected lithium battery, the control module inside the external activation system 2 can start or shut down the control switch, so that after the power of the lithium battery is restored to a certain value, the external activation system 2 can automatically disconnect the power supply to the lithium battery, and the lithium battery is charged to a normal voltage value through the input and output module 14. In addition, the low power threshold can be customized, and when the power of the lithium battery is restored to exceed the threshold, the control switch can be disconnected.

[0029] As an embodiment, the external activation system 2 obtains the real-time remaining power of the lithium battery in real time. When the real-time remaining power is higher than the remaining power threshold, a signal is sent to notify the operator to stop the low-voltage and low-current power supply, so that the lithium battery can be charged at a normal voltage. The signal sent to notify the operator can be transmitted to the upper system by an electrical signal, an acoustic signal, an optical signal, etc.

[0030] In this embodiment, the activation input module 12 uses a Type-C interface and a serial port, wherein the Type-C interface is used for low-voltage and low-current power supply of the external activation system, and the serial port is used for the external activation system to receive data signals. However, the activation input module 12 is not limited to the combination of the Type-C interface and the serial port in this embodiment, and other interfaces that can simultaneously supply power and transmit data can be used.

[0031] As an embodiment, the activation input module 12 is only provided with one Type-C interface, that is, the external activation system is connected through a single Type-C interface to realize the two functions of charging and data transmission, thereby reducing the setting of interfaces.

[0032] As an embodiment, when the lithium battery is in a low power state and the management control module 11 cannot work normally, the external activation system 2 can be used to supply low voltage and low current to the lithium battery to restore it to a normal state, and then charge it normally through the input and output module 14.

[0033] As an example, see Figure 2 The lithium battery zero-volt emergency power supply system 1 includes a switching switch 13; the switching switch 13 is connected to the activation input module 12 or the input-output module 14, the switching switch 13 is connected to the lithium battery, and the input-output module 14 inputs power to the lithium battery or connects the lithium battery to output power.

[0034] It can be understood that when the lithium battery reaches a zero-volt state, the switching switch 13 disconnects the connection with the input-output module 14, stops the lithium battery from supplying power to the outside and stops charging the lithium battery through an external power supply, and the switching switch 13 connects the activation input module 12 with the lithium battery, and the activation input module 12 is connected to the external activation system 2, and the lithium battery is supplied with low voltage and low current through the external activation system 2, so that the lithium battery returns to a normal state of use, and bypasses the BMS system at the same time, there is no need to disassemble the lithium battery for maintenance, thereby improving convenience.

[0035] Optionally, the switching switch 13 adopts a mechanical switch or an electromagnetic switch. That is, the switching switch 13 can adopt a mechanical switch, which is switched by manual operation. When the lithium battery is low and needs to be powered by the external activation system 2, the switching switch 13 is manually operated to switch it to the position of connecting to the activation input module 12, and the external activation system 2 supplies power to the lithium battery. After the external activation system 2 charges the lithium battery for a certain period of time, the external activation system 2 detects that the lithium battery power reaches a certain value, and sends a signal to the operator to manually operate the switching switch 13 to switch to the position where the lithium battery is connected to the input-output module 14, so that the two are connected, and the lithium battery can be charged through the input-output module 14; the switching switch 13 can adopt an electromagnetic switch, and the lithium battery power is detected by the management control module 11, and the switching switch 13 is controlled to connect to the activation input module 12 or the input-output module 14 according to the lithium battery power. The electromagnetic switch can reduce manual participation and make the system more automated. In this embodiment, the switching switch 13 adopts an electromagnetic switch, but the switching switch 13 is not limited to using an electromagnetic switch.

[0036] As an embodiment, the input-output module 14 includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and the positive terminal and the negative terminal are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the connection device corresponding to the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery.

[0037] The management control module 11 includes a management unit 111 and a control unit 112, wherein the management unit 111 is connected to the control unit 112, and the control unit 112 is connected to the switching switch 13, wherein the management unit 111 collects parameters of the lithium battery, including voltage value, current value, etc., and estimates the current battery power according to the parameters of the lithium battery, and the control unit 112 controls the charging and discharging of the battery, and transmits the data of the management unit 111 to the upper management system.

[0038] The system includes a monitoring module 15, which is integrated in the management control module 11, connected to the control unit 112, connected to the lithium battery, and used to monitor the health status of the lithium battery. The monitoring module 15 performs evaluation based on data collected by the management unit 111.

[0039] As an embodiment, when the activation input module 12 is connected to the external activation system 2, the monitoring module 15 can obtain power by connecting to the external activation system 2, that is, the monitoring module 15 can operate normally under the low-voltage and low-current power supply of the external activation system 2. The monitoring module 15 is connected to the switching switch 13. The monitoring module 15 determines whether the switching switch 13 needs to be switched to one end of the input-output module 14 based on the power value obtained in the detection management control module 11, so that the lithium battery can be charged at a normal voltage value to achieve a degree of automation.

[0040] As an embodiment, a low power threshold value may be preset in the monitoring module 15. When the management unit 111 detects that the current remaining power of the battery is lower than the low power threshold value, the switching switch 13 is switched to the activation input module 12 through an electrical signal, the lithium battery is connected to the activation input module 12, and the connection between the lithium battery and the input-output module 14 is disconnected, so that the lithium battery is connected to the external activation system 2 for charging. Subsequently, the lithium battery is depleted after being placed for a long time and is in a zero-volt state. The external activation system 2 is directly connected to the activation input module 12 to provide voltage supply to the lithium battery. At the same time, a low-voltage and low-current power supply threshold value is preset in the monitoring module 15. When the external activation system 2 provides low-voltage and low-current power supply to the lithium battery, the monitoring module 15 detects that the power of the lithium battery exceeds the low-voltage and low-current power supply threshold value, and controls the switching switch 13 to disconnect from the activation input module 12 and connect the input-output module 14, so that the lithium battery obtains power through the input-output module 14.

[0041] The management unit 111 includes a power estimation subunit 1111 and a data acquisition subunit 1112. The power estimation subunit 1111 is connected to the data acquisition subunit 1112. The data acquisition subunit 1112 acquires parameters of the lithium battery. The power estimation subunit 1111 estimates the power of the lithium battery according to the parameters acquired by the data acquisition subunit 1112.

[0042] Specifically, the data acquisition subunit 1112 is connected to the lithium battery and acquires the parameters of the lithium battery in real time, including voltage, current, temperature and other parameters. The power estimation subunit 1111 estimates the power of the lithium battery according to the parameters acquired by the data acquisition subunit 1112, and determines the current remaining power of the lithium battery. The management unit 111 is a battery management system (BMS), which is used to monitor the voltage, current, temperature and other parameters of the battery, estimate the power state of the lithium battery, ensure that the battery operates within a safe working range, and prevent abnormal conditions such as overcharging, over-discharging, over-temperature and over-current of the battery, thereby extending the service life of the battery and improving the performance of the battery.

[0043] The management control module 11 includes a wireless communication unit 113, and the wireless communication unit 113 is connected to the control unit 112. Specifically, the wireless communication unit 113 can transmit the information in the management control module 11 to the upper management system through wireless signals, and transmit the remaining power of the lithium battery and the parameters of the lithium battery obtained in the management control module 11 to the upper management system, so as to obtain the status of the lithium battery in real time.

[0044] Optionally, the wireless communication unit 113 adopts any one of Bluetooth connection, WiFi connection, ZigBee, and 5G.

[0045] The management control module 11 includes a signal processing unit, which is connected to the control unit 112. The signal processing unit can transmit data signals to the upper management system through a connecting line. It can be understood that the signal processing unit can transmit the relevant information of the lithium battery through wired transmission. The signal processing unit can use a TYPE-C interface or a serial port.

[0046] The management control module 11 includes an indicator light, which is connected to the control unit. The indicator light is directly powered by a lithium battery. The indicator light can show the operator whether the low-voltage and low-current charging of the lithium battery in the zero-volt state is successful. When the lithium battery returns to normal from the zero-volt state, the indicator light lights up to remind the operator to disconnect the external activation system and connect a power supply with a normal voltage value through the input and output module to charge the lithium battery.

[0047] In the second aspect, the present invention discloses a dedicated lithium battery for centralized power supply, which includes the above-mentioned lithium battery zero-volt emergency power supply system and a lithium battery pack. The dedicated lithium battery for centralized power supply is installed in the centralized power supply of fire emergency equipment to provide power for the centralized power supply.

[0048] Specifically, a lithium battery zero-volt emergency power replenishment system is adopted. When the lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, an external activation system is directly used to perform low-voltage and low-current charging to restore the lithium battery to a normal state and power the management unit. Then, the external power supply or load is connected through the input and output module to perform normal charging or power supply. There is no need to disassemble and repair or send it for repair. The user can control the recharging of the lithium battery by himself.

[0049] Among them, the management control module, input and output module, activation input module, switching switch, and monitoring module are integrated on the same circuit board, which improves the degree of product integration and reduces the occupation of internal space.

[0050] As an embodiment, when a switching switch is provided for the lithium battery dedicated to the centralized power supply, the switching switch can switch the lithium battery to access the activation input module or the input-output module.

[0051] As an embodiment, the positive terminal and the negative terminal are provided by copper pillars, which can reduce the connection lines between the input and output modules and the circuit board and reduce the production cost of the equipment.

[0052] Thirdly, see Figure 4-5 The present invention discloses a zero-volt emergency power replenishment method for a lithium battery, which is applicable to the above-mentioned zero-volt emergency power replenishment system for a lithium battery, and specifically comprises the following steps: Step S1: The monitoring module in the lithium battery detects its own power level. The monitoring module presets a second threshold. When the power level is lower than the preset second threshold, the lithium battery stops normal input and output power and connects to the external activation system.

[0053] Step S2: the lithium battery is connected to an external activation system to detect the remaining power of the lithium battery. When the lithium battery is in a zero volt state, the activation input module is connected to the external activation system, and the external activation system supplies power to the lithium battery. Step S3: the external activation system supplies low voltage power to the lithium battery, and the external activation system detects the power value in the lithium battery in real time; Step S4: When the power value in the lithium battery reaches a first threshold value preset by the external activation system, the lithium battery is disconnected from the external activation system and connected to a power source with a normal voltage value for charging.

[0054] Specifically, in step S1, the monitoring module of the lithium battery itself periodically detects its own power. When the power is lower than the second threshold, the normal input and output power can be stopped. The normal input and output power can be stopped by switching the lithium battery access port through the switching switch, so that the lithium battery is disconnected from the normal charging and discharging through the BMS system, and is charged by an external power supply instead. That is, before the lithium battery is about to enter a low-power state or a zero-volt state, it is switched to a state of external power charging, so that the lithium battery can be directly connected to the external power supply for power supply later, avoiding manual switching and achieving the purpose of automatic switching. In addition, when an automated structure is adopted, an electromagnetic switch is provided inside, which can be switched to an external power supply for charging in advance when the lithium battery enters a zero-volt state. Furthermore, when it is detected that the battery has entered a low-power state or is about to enter a zero-volt state, an electrical signal can be sent to the upper system or an audible and visual signal can be issued for early warning, so that the operator can be informed of the current state of the lithium battery and charge the lithium battery.

[0055] Specifically, in step S2, the conditions for the intervention of the external activation system are clarified, that is, when the lithium battery power is so low that it affects the operation of the BMS system, it starts to supply power. The external activation system itself has the function of detecting the power level. When the lithium battery is in a low power state or even a zero volt state, the external activation system charges the lithium battery with a low voltage and a small current to restore the lithium battery to a normal state, allowing the BMS system and other control modules to operate normally.

[0056] Specifically, in step S3, the external activation system detects the lithium battery, which can ensure dynamic monitoring of the lithium battery power during the power supply process so as to timely grasp the power recovery status.

[0057] Specifically, in step S4, when the power in the lithium battery reaches the preset first threshold, the lithium battery can provide normal operation for the BMS system and other control modules. At this time, the lithium battery no longer needs to be charged by the low-voltage and low-current power supply of the external activation system, but can be charged by a power supply with a normal voltage value, thereby speeding up the charging of the lithium battery and fully charging the lithium battery.

[0058] It can be understood that when the lithium battery is in a zero-volt state, the lithium battery is disconnected from the input and output module, the lithium battery stops supplying power to the outside and stops charging the lithium battery through an external power supply, the lithium battery is connected to the activation input module, and the activation input module is connected to the external activation system to directly supply low-voltage and low-current power to the lithium battery, so that the lithium battery pack can be restored to normal use. The operator can restore the lithium battery to normal use by himself, avoiding disassembling the lithium battery for repair or sending it to after-sales for repair, which is more convenient to use.

[0059] As an embodiment, the switching switch of the lithium battery can switch the port connected to the lithium battery through manual operation. Under manual operation, the lithium battery can be powered by an external power supply voltage or charged and discharged at the normal voltage of the input and output module.

[0060] As an embodiment, a special power detection device, that is, an external activation system, is provided outside the lithium battery, so as to detect the power of the lithium battery simultaneously with the internal monitoring module of the lithium battery. When the external detection device detects that the power is lower than the preset second threshold, the lithium battery is forced to switch to the state of connection with the external activation system through the external control circuit, rather than relying solely on the automatic switching mechanism inside the lithium battery. It can be understood that the external activation system can be connected to the outside of the lithium battery for a long time, so as to detect the power value and related parameters of the lithium battery by external detection for a long time.

[0061] As an embodiment, a monitoring module is set inside the lithium battery, and a low-voltage and low-current power supply is provided through an external activation system. The monitoring module can operate normally. The monitoring module detects the power of the lithium battery itself. When the power of the lithium battery exceeds a first threshold, the control switching switch is switched to a position connected to the input-output module, so that the lithium battery can be connected to a power supply with a normal voltage value for charging.

[0062] As an embodiment, when the power of the lithium battery reaches a preset first threshold, multiple parameters of the lithium battery are tested and confirmed again, such as power stability, BMS system status, etc. Only when all parameters meet the normal power supply requirements, the connection with the external activation system is disconnected and a power supply with a normal voltage value is connected to improve safety.

[0063] Step S2 specifically includes: Step S21: the lithium battery is directly connected to the external activation system, the external activation system is used to power the lithium battery, and the external activation system directly detects or the monitoring module in the lithium battery is powered on to detect the remaining power of the lithium battery; Step S22: When the lithium battery is in a low power state and cannot normally power the BMS system, an external activation system powers the lithium battery.

[0064] It can be understood that after the lithium battery is connected to the external activation system, the external activation system detects the power of the lithium battery instead of directly supplying power to the lithium battery. When the external activation system detects that the lithium battery is insufficient to maintain the normal operation of the BMS system, the external activation system supplies power to the lithium battery. That is, the external activation system detects various parameters of the lithium battery, determines its health status, and confirms whether the lithium battery meets the requirements for low-voltage and low-current charging, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation process.
