Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a battery pack equalization circuit, and in particular to an active equalization circuit for a series battery pack based on a Zeta converter. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries dominate the field of electric vehicle power batteries due to their excellent energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect, and high efficiency and environmental protection. However, the voltage and capacity of single cells limit their ability to directly meet the high performance requirements of electric vehicles. Therefore, a battery pack consisting of multiple batteries connected in series and parallel becomes a necessary choice. However, this combination also brings new challenges: manufacturing differences, usage environments, and different charging and discharging modes lead to different performance of single cells in the battery pack, such as mismatch in capacity, voltage, and internal resistance, which not only affects the durability and reliability of the battery pack, but also poses a threat to safety.

[0003] To solve this problem, battery balancing technology came into being, aiming to ensure the performance balance of each single cell in the battery pack. At present, balancing technology is mainly divided into two categories: passive balancing and active balancing. Passive balancing consumes excess energy through resistors, but this method not only causes energy waste, but also may damage battery performance due to high temperature environment. In contrast, active balancing technology is achieved through energy transfer, such as the balancing control method based on buck-boost converter proposed in patent CN113489083A. This method introduces energy storage inductors, diodes and balancing control switches into the battery pack, and realizes energy transfer from high-energy batteries to low-energy batteries by controlling the opening and closing of the switch, effectively promoting battery balancing. Furthermore, by combining single cells into modules of different levels and achieving balancing between levels through logical control, not only the energy distribution between adjacent batteries is optimized, but also the balancing of non-adjacent batteries is indirectly achieved, significantly improving the balancing efficiency of the battery pack.

[0004] However, the complexity of this method lies in its balancing circuit design, which involves sophisticated logic control of multiple control switches, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of technical implementation. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing battery pack balancing technology, the present invention proposes an active balancing circuit for a series battery pack based on a Zeta converter, which is composed of a multi-channel output converter and a plurality of cross-over capacitors. The active balancing circuit is based on the zeta circuit and adopts a multi-output zeta circuit topology structure. By adding a cross-over capacitor between each output, the terminal voltage of the battery cells inside the battery pack is balanced (same). Compared with the traditional multi-series zeta circuit balancing structure, the present invention realizes automatic voltage balancing between battery cells through cross-over capacitors, without the need for complex sampling and control algorithms; and avoids the problem of terminal voltage imbalance caused by the cross-regulation rate when the multi-series zeta circuit outputs, effectively reducing voltage deviation and improving battery balancing accuracy.
