Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery balancing, and in particular to an isolated Zeta structure multi-lithium battery SOC balancing circuit. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries have the advantages of high energy density, long life, high efficiency, small size, and no pollution. Considering their safety, practicality, and cost, they play a vital role in power and energy storage. Single-cell lithium batteries often require multiple batteries to be connected in series due to their low voltage and small capacity. However, due to different manufacturing processes and the influence of the environment, charging and discharging mode, and chemical factors during use, the battery pack will have differences in charge state, voltage, internal resistance, and capacity. These differences will cause problems such as durability, reliability, and safety of the battery pack. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of cells in the lithium battery pack, researchers have proposed many balancing circuits, devices, and methods.

[0003] The current equalization technology used in lithium battery packs is mainly divided into active equalization and passive equalization. The idea of ​​passive equalization is to dissipate excess energy in the form of heat through parallel resistors, but this method will cause a large amount of energy loss in the lithium battery pack, and the high temperature environment caused by improper heat dissipation will damage the performance of the lithium battery pack. Active equalization technology is a method of transferring the energy of a higher single cell in a lithium battery pack to a lower single cell. For example, the patent document with application publication number CN113489083A discloses a hierarchical equalization control method for lithium-ion battery packs based on a buck-boost converter. The method adds multiple energy storage inductor elements, diodes, and equalization control switches on the basis of lithium-ion battery packs. By controlling the switch to close, the single cell with higher energy storage stores excess energy in the corresponding inductor, and then controls the switch to turn off, and transfers the energy in the inductor to the single cell with lower energy storage, forming a balanced control of a series lithium-ion battery pack. In addition, two adjacent single cells are formed into a small module, and then the adjacent small modules are formed into a large module. Through logical control, each level is balanced to achieve three-level balanced control. The balancing control method proposed in this patent can not only achieve balancing between two adjacent single cells, but also indirectly achieve balancing between two non-adjacent single cells through balancing control between adjacent modules, shortening the energy transmission path and improving the efficiency of the battery pack balancing system. However, the balancing circuit used in this control method contains multiple control switches, and the logic control is very complex. Summary of the invention
