Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of industrial control, and particularly relates to a control detection circuit and an implementation method for real-time monitoring of the charging state of a super capacitor. Background Art

[0002] The subway is a type of urban rail transit line system, referring to the rail transit built in the city, which is fast, has a large passenger capacity, and is electrically powered. The train runs on a fully enclosed line. The lines in the central urban area are basically located in underground tunnels, and the lines outside the central urban area are generally located on viaducts or on the ground. The subway is an urban rail transit system that covers various underground and above-ground exclusive rights of way, high density, and high passenger capacity in the urban area. With the progress of technology and the development of the times, the functions of special equipment have become increasingly complex, and the requirements for the reliability and stability of products are also increasing day by day. For communication and signal equipment, as the key equipment for driver communication and receiving and transmitting dispatching signals, its reliability and stability are particularly important. It can maintain the stable operation of the equipment at critical moments, so that when the emergency battery switchover is completed and the vehicle loses power illegally, the equipment can shut down normally without being affected by the power loss.

[0003] At present, most communication and signal special equipment do not have the functions of resisting illegal power loss and reporting power loss information. Frequent illegal power loss of key equipment will cause equipment failure and damage. Moreover, for a few equipment with such functions, such as in the patent "CN212649155U Power Management Circuit of Super Capacitor Module", the charging of the super capacitor is judged based on the charging time. As time accumulates and the equipment ages, the original charging duration will no longer meet the power supply requirements, resulting in the failure of the super capacitor function and the inability to protect key equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the real-time state detection of super capacitors in the prior art, the present invention provides a control detection circuit and an implementation method for real-time monitoring of the charging state of a super capacitor. The present invention is applicable to a circuit with a supply voltage of 4 - 23V and an output voltage of 0 - 26V. Through a buck chip, the input voltage is converted into the voltage required by the control circuit, and at the same time, a magnetic bead and a capacitor are added for filtering to ensure the stable operation of the control circuit. At the same time, the MOS tube of the super capacitor uses a high-voltage-resistant and impact-resistant MOS tube to ensure the stability of power supply for the subsequent circuit.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a control detection circuit for real-time monitoring of the charging state of a super capacitor, including a power supply circuit, a current and power detection circuit, a super capacitor output control circuit, and a core control circuit;

[0010] The supercapacitor output control circuit is used to control the output of the supercapacitor;

[0011] The core control circuit is used to control the supercapacitor output control circuit according to the data detected by the current power detection circuit.

[0012] A method for implementing a control and detection circuit that can real-time monitor the charging state of a supercapacitor has the following working process:

[0013] In the first step, the power supply circuit completes voltage reduction conversion to the voltages required by the current power detection circuit, the supercapacitor output control circuit, the core control circuit, and the supercapacitor output control circuit;

[0014] In the second step, after the core control circuit starts, it first performs an initialization operation. At the same time, the current power detection circuit reads the voltage value and current value of the circuit under test, calculates the power value through the formula P = U×I, and transfers the current value and power value to the core control circuit through the IIC data line, where P is power, U is voltage, and I is current;

[0015] In the third step, the core control circuit communicates with the current power detection circuit through the IIC data line to obtain the current value and power value;

[0016] In the fourth step, the core control circuit compares and analyzes the obtained data current value and power value with the parameters burned in advance to judge whether it meets the power supply requirements of the subsequent circuit. If it meets, proceed to the next step; if not, re-read the data current value and power value every 1S for judgment;

[0017] In the fifth step, if it meets the requirements of the subsequent circuit, the core control circuit controls the supercapacitor output control circuit to connect the supercapacitor to the external circuit to supply power to the external circuit.

[0018] The parameter range of the voltage value of the circuit under test in the current power detection circuit is 0 - 26V.

[0019] The technical effects produced by the present invention are as follows: It solves the problem of damage to key communication and signal devices caused by illegal power-off, protects the devices, extends the service life of the devices, and improves the product stability; at the same time, it solves the problem that the previous generation of products simply controls the super capacitor by controlling the charging time. After long-term use, the charging duration will not be able to meet the power supply requirements, resulting in the failure of the super capacitor function and the inability to protect key devices.

Pins 5, 6, 7, 8 of MOS transistor Q1 are connected to the external interface DC_SUPER_CAP_OUT_B_MOS. The model of MOS transistor Q1 is IRF7240PBF.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, the specific circuit of the core control circuit is as follows: Pin 1 of microcontroller U3 is connected to one end of resistor R12 and Pin 4 of the current / power monitor U1. The other end of resistor R12 is connected to one ends of resistor R11, resistor R14, capacitor C11, capacitor C12, ferrite bead FB1 and Pin 5 of microcontroller U3.

[0036] Example 1, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown in the figure, connect the serial ports of Pins 8, 9 of the core control circuit U3 of this control and detection circuit to the serial port of the external locomotive radio console host control unit.

[0037] When working, first, the locomotive power supply powers the locomotive radio power supply circuit. The locomotive radio power supply circuit outputs 12V to supply power to the control detection circuit for real-time monitoring of the supercapacitor charging status, the supercapacitor, and the host control unit. The output voltage of the supercapacitor is at most 12V and less than 26V, meeting the circuit usage requirements. At this time, the supercapacitor is charged. The buck converter chip U2 in the internal power supply circuit of the control detection circuit for real-time monitoring of the supercapacitor charging status steps down the voltage for the core control circuit, and the current / power monitor U1 in the current power detection circuit detects the output voltage of the supercapacitor output control circuit; the core control circuit is initialized; the current power detection circuit collects data and transmits the collected data, current value and power value, to the microcontroller U3 in the core control circuit, and judges whether it meets the requirement of being fully charged. When the supercapacitor is fully charged, the voltage gradually rises to 12V, the charging current gradually drops to 0A, and according to the formula P = U×I, the charging power drops to 0W. If the requirement is not met, data is collected again until the requirement is met. At this time, the host control unit communicates with the microcontroller U3 in the core control circuit, and the microcontroller U3 in the core control circuit controls the MOS transistor Q1 of the supercapacitor output control circuit to output. Together with the locomotive radio power supply circuit, it supplies power to the host control unit. When the locomotive is illegally powered off, the locomotive radio power supply circuit no longer outputs voltage. At the same time, the host control unit is powered by the control detection circuit for real-time monitoring of the supercapacitor charging status, completes the required shutdown process, and performs a normal shutdown operation; when the train is illegally powered off, the device can be shut down normally without being affected by the power-off. It prevents device damage and ensures the stability of the device.
