Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric vehicle safety control, in particular to a high-voltage interlock circuit, a vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system and method, and an electric vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Safety technology has always been one of the core technologies of new energy vehicles, which is also one of the main concerns of new energy vehicle consumers. It is obvious that the reliability of the high-voltage circuit is one of the most concerned points in the safety monitoring system of new energy vehicles. The most important monitoring system of the high-voltage circuit is the high-voltage interlock system, and the main function of this system is to detect the on-off state between each high-voltage component (i.e. the monitored component) and detect whether any abnormal condition occurs (such as short low-voltage power supply, short ground). When an abnormal condition occurs, the vehicle controller will perform power-down processing according to the strategy to make the vehicle in a safe state.

[0003] The existing high-voltage interlock circuit can be divided into two categories: voltage type high-voltage interlock and current type high-voltage interlock. The common voltage type high-voltage interlock circuit compares the voltage signals at the input and output ends to determine whether the high-voltage component has an abnormality, and the signal source of this type of circuit has a constant voltage source and a PWM type signal generator. Since the high-voltage interlock line of new energy vehicles is usually long, and the voltage signal is more susceptible to interference than the current signal, the high voltage in the high-voltage interlock may affect the voltage type high-voltage interlock circuit, affecting the accuracy of the detection. At the same time, the current type high-voltage interlock circuit is good at long distance fault detection and has strong anti-interference ability, with high reliability, but the traditional constant current type high-voltage interlock circuit has weak fault type diagnosis ability. SUMMARY

[0004] One of the purposes of the present application is to provide a high-voltage interlock detection circuit, a vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system and method, and an electric vehicle, to solve the technical problem that the voltage interlock circuit in the prior art cannot balance the transmission distance and the fault type diagnosis, and a constant voltage type current type high-voltage interlock detection circuit is designed based on an adjustable voltage reference, which is suitable for long distance detection, has strong signal anti-interference ability, and can identify multiple fault types, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system.

[0012] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the high-voltage interlock detection circuit is designed based on an adjustable voltage reference, and a current type driving module with a constant voltage type is realized, so as to output a stable current signal for the detection module. The current flowing through the first resistor RS is detected for fault diagnosis, which has strong anti-interference ability and is suitable for long-distance transmission scenarios. Moreover, the detection resource is less occupied, and any resource of the high-voltage component is not occupied. Moreover, the detection current values are different in the high-voltage interlock safe connection state and the fault state, so that the state of the high-voltage interlock circuit and the fault type (for example, open circuit, short ground, and short power supply) can be diagnosed, and the production efficiency is improved.

It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented.

[0031] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship. A and B correspond to each other means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0032] In combination Figures 1 to 8As shown, the high-voltage interlock detection circuit 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a detection module 10, a driving module 20, a power supply module 30, and a current detection module 41. The detection module 10 includes a first resistor RS, a plurality of detection resistors (R1, R2, …, Rn-1, Rn), and a protection resistor RP5 arranged in series, thereby forming a resistor series detection circuit. The plurality of detection resistors (R1, R2, …, Rn-1, Rn) correspond to a plurality of components to be detected, and the detection resistors are connected in parallel with the plug-in parts of the components to be detected corresponding thereto. The driving module 20 includes an adjustable voltage reference 21 and a first triode Q1. The anode of the adjustable voltage reference 21 is connected with a power supply and the base of the first triode Q1, respectively. The cathode of the adjustable voltage reference 21 is connected with the second end of the detection resistor side of the resistor series detection circuit. The reference end of the adjustable voltage reference 21 is connected with the first end of the first resistor RS side of the resistor series detection circuit. The emitter of the first triode Q1 is connected with the first end of the resistor series detection circuit. The collector of the first triode Q1 is connected with the power supply and a first current-limiting resistor RP4 arranged in series on the connection line. The power supply module 30 is configured to provide power supply for the driving module 20. The current detection module 41 is configured to detect the current flowing through the first resistor RS.

[0033] In the high-voltage interlock detection circuit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adjustable voltage reference collects the voltage Vin between the two ends of the resistor series detection circuit formed by the first resistor RS, the plurality of detection resistors (R1, R2, …, Rn), and the protection resistor RP5, and compares the voltage Vin with the reference voltage Vref in the adjustable voltage reference. The error between the voltage Vin and the reference voltage Vref is amplified by an amplifier to adjust the conduction degree of the first triode Q1, thereby reducing the error between the voltage Vin and the reference voltage Vref, and further stabilizing the voltage Vin to the reference voltage Vref. The adjustable voltage reference is designed based on the adjustable voltage reference, thereby realizing the current-type driving module with the constant voltage type, and outputting stable current signals for the detection module. The fault diagnosis is performed by detecting the current flowing through the first resistor RS, thereby having strong anti-interference ability and being suitable for long-distance transmission scenarios. Moreover, the detection module occupies less detection resources and does not need to occupy any resources of the high-voltage components. The detection module adjusts the current signal. When a fault occurs, the detection module is reconfigured. Under the premise that the voltage between the two ends of the resistor series detection circuit is stable at the reference voltage Vref, the size of the current of the high-voltage interlock loop is adjusted, so that the detection current values are different in the high-voltage interlock safe connection state and the fault state, thereby being able to diagnose the state and the fault type (for example, open circuit, short ground, and short power supply) of the high-voltage interlock circuit, and improving the production efficiency.

[0034] In the detection module 10, the first resistor RS can configure the size of the current of the high-voltage interlock loop and serve as a sampling resistor of the current. The protection resistor RP5 has a protection function of preventing the power supply from being directly short-circuited to the ground when the component to be detected (for example, a high-voltage component of a vehicle) is short-circuited to the power supply, and assisting in diagnosing the short ground fault.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when multiple components to be detected are in a normal connection state, multiple detection resistors (R1, R2, ..., Rn-1, Rn) are short-circuited and in a short-circuit state, and only the first resistor RS and the protection resistor RP5 in the resistor series detection circuit are connected to the detection circuit, such as Figure 3 The circuit diagram is shown in the normal connection state. At this time, the current I nor =V ref / (RS+RP5). This current is the normal current (safety current).

[0036] Short-to-ground state. When the high-voltage interlock circuit is in the short-to-ground state, the circuit diagram is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the current in the high voltage interlock loop is: I SC =V ref / RS. This current is the short-circuit current.

[0037] Short 12V power supply. When the high voltage interlock circuit is in the short 12V power supply state, the circuit diagram is as follows Figure 5 At this time, the first transistor Q1 (NPN) is fully turned on. Assuming that the transistor voltage drop is zero, the voltage across the first resistor RS is 12V. The current detected at this time is: I SP =0.

[0038] Open circuit: When at least one component to be detected in the high-voltage interlock circuit is open, the open circuit current in the high-voltage interlock circuit is: I OC =Vref / (RS+R O +RP5), where R O The sum of the resistances of the detection resistors corresponding to at least one open-circuited component to be detected. The current detected at this time is the fault current. Figure 6 The circuit diagram shown is when the nth component to be detected is open circuit. OC n=Vref / (RS+R n +RP5).

[0039] That is, when the detection current is not I nor When a high-voltage interlock fault is detected, the system can then determine the fault type, such as an open circuit fault, a power short fault, and a ground short fault, based on the specific values ​​of the detection current. Detecting these various fault types only requires detecting a single current signal, which saves resources and eliminates the need to deploy components on the component being tested.

[0040] In some embodiments, in the detection module, the resistance values ​​of the multiple detection resistors (R1, R2, ..., Rn) are different. In this embodiment, by setting the resistance values ​​of the multiple detection resistors to be different, when different components to be detected are open circuited and the corresponding detection resistors are connected to the high-voltage interlock circuit, the open circuit current I OCIn the calculation formula of R O is different, then the open circuit current I OC Therefore, the open circuit position can be determined by detecting the current, thereby quickly locating the position of the disconnected detected component (for example, a vehicle high-voltage component), thereby improving production efficiency.

[0041] For example, when the first component to be detected is open, the open circuit current in the high voltage interlock circuit is: I OC 1=Vref / (RS+R1+RP5). When the second component to be detected is open, the open circuit current in the high voltage interlock circuit is: I OC 2=Vref / (RS+R2+RP5). When the first and second components to be detected are open circuit, the open circuit current in the high voltage interlock circuit is: I OC 12=Vref / (RS+R1+R2+RP5). Similarly, the corresponding open-circuit currents when different components to be detected are open can be obtained, and the open-circuit position can be determined by detecting the current.

[0042] In this embodiment, the specific resistance values ​​of the plurality of detection resistors ( R1 , R2 , . . . , Rn) are not limited and can be set according to actual conditions as long as the open circuit currents under different fault types can be distinguished.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, the driver module 20 serves as the core module of the high-voltage interlock circuit, responsible for converting the constant voltage power supply output into a constant current signal output, and bears the robustness index of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit and the system. In the driver module 20, the principle of voltage stabilization of the adjustable voltage reference 21 is to control the conduction degree of the first transistor Q1 by controlling the voltage between the base and emitter of the first transistor Q1, and to stabilize the voltage across RS, R1, R2, ..., Rn and RP5 by utilizing the linear amplification region of the first transistor. The function of the first current-limiting resistor RP4 is to limit the current flowing through the first transistor Q1 to prevent large currents from damaging the first transistor Q1.

[0044] In some embodiments, the driving module further includes a second current limiting resistor RP3 connected in series to the connection line between the anode terminal of the adjustable voltage reference 21 and the power supply 31, thereby limiting the current and preventing large current from damaging the adjustable voltage reference 21 source.

[0045] In some embodiments, the driver module further includes a unidirectional current-limiting element D1 connected in series with the connection line between the emitter of the first transistor Q1 and the first end of the series resistor detection circuit. The function of the unidirectional current-limiting element D1 is to prevent current from flowing back into the power supply module 30 and damaging it when the high-voltage interlock circuit is short-circuited.

[0046] Optionally, the unidirectional current limiting element D1 includes a diode.

[0047] In some embodiments, the current detection module 41 is used to detect the current flowing through the first resistor RS. Specifically, the current detection module 41 adopts an analog-to-digital conversion unit (ADC module).

[0048] In some embodiments, the high voltage interlock detection circuit further includes a first control module 40, the first control module 40 includes a processing unit, and the processing unit is used to obtain the detection current of the current detection module 41. In this embodiment, the current detection module 41 can be integrated into the first control module 40, for example, in combination with Figure 7 As shown, the ADC module integrated into the first control module 40 collects the voltage across the first resistor RS to obtain the current in the high-voltage interlocking loop.

[0050] In some embodiments, combined Figure 8 As shown, the power supply module 30 includes a power supply 31 and a protection circuit unit 32, and the protection circuit unit 32 is connected to the output line of the positive side of the power supply 31, wherein the protection circuit unit has an automatic retry (AutoRetry) function. In this embodiment, the protection circuit unit with the Auto Retry function can be started after detecting a high-voltage interlock fault, thereby cutting off the power supply of the high-voltage interlock detection system and starting the protection function. And after a certain period of time, the power is turned on again to detect whether there is still an abnormality. If there is still an abnormality, repeat the above operation until no abnormality is detected). Its input power supply can adopt a car-grade 12V power supply, which is suitable for the use scenario of vehicle-mounted electronic equipment. Among them, when the high-voltage interlock detection circuit 100 includes a first control module 40, the first control module 40 is also used to connect to the protection circuit unit 21 to control the operation of the protection circuit according to the detection current. This embodiment adds an Auto Retry protection circuit, and the safety of the system is improved.

[0051] Optionally, the protection circuit unit 21 includes a second transistor QP2, a field effect transistor QP1, a third current limiting resistor RP2 and a fourth current limiting resistor RP1. The second transistor QP2 includes a second base, a second collector and a second emitter, the second emitter is grounded, and the second base is connected to the first control module 40. The field effect transistor QP1 includes a gate, a drain and a source, the drain is connected to the positive pole of the power supply 31, the gate is connected to the second collector, and the source is connected to the driving module 20 as a power output end to provide power supply for the driving module 20. The third current limiting resistor RP2 is connected in series in the connection line between the gate and the second collector. The fourth current limiting resistor RP1 has two ends connected to the gate and the drain of the field effect transistor QP1. In this embodiment, the second transistor QP2, the field effect transistor QP1, the third current limiting resistor RP2 and the fourth current limiting resistor RP1 constitute an Auto Retry circuit controlled by the first control unit 40 (for example, a microprocessor). The second transistor QP2 controls the conduction and turn-off of the field effect transistor QP1. The third current limiting resistor RP2 and the fourth current limiting resistor RP1 correctly divide the voltage to ensure that the field effect transistor QP1 can be normally turned off and turned on. The field effect transistor QP1 is connected in series on the main power supply line to control the switch of the power supply 31.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first control module 40 further includes an input / output module (GPIO module) 42, and the protection circuit unit 21 (the second base of the second transistor QP2) is connected to the first control module 40 through the input / output module 42. Thus, the processing unit of the first control module 40 determines the high-voltage interlock fault according to the detected current, and controls the protection circuit unit 21 to start the Auto Retry function.

[0053] Optionally, the first control module 40 includes a processing unit, an ADC module 41 and a GPIO module 42, and the processing unit is connected to the ADC module 41 and the GPIO module 42; the processing unit acquires the detected current of the ADC module 41, and sends a control signal to the protection circuit unit 21 through the GPIO module 42 to start the Auto Retry function of the protection circuit unit 21 when the high-voltage interlock fault is determined according to the detected current.

In addition, the disconnection of any component to be detected will not cause the system to fail, and the system has strong robustness. At the same time, the vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system also has all the technical effects of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit 100.

[0056] In the vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the components to be detected of the vehicle include but are not limited to battery packs, on-board chargers, DC / DC converters, drive motors, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the vehicle high-voltage interlock detection system further includes a second control module configured to determine that the vehicle has a high-voltage interlock fault and execute a safety strategy when the current detection current detected by the high-voltage interlock detection circuit is not in the safe current threshold interval.

Specifically, the safety strategy includes setting a fault register and reporting a fault (for example, reporting to the previous level system and informing the driver that there is a high-voltage interlock fault), and prompting the driver to turn off the power after a predetermined time (for example, x minutes) and to stop the vehicle; at the same time, the vehicle system is controlled to execute further safety strategies, such as limiting the power output of the vehicle and performing high-voltage power down after x minutes.

[0059] Optionally, the second control module (the first control module 40) is further configured to determine the current current threshold interval in which the current detection current is located when the current detection current is not in the safe current threshold interval; and determine the current high-voltage interlock fault type corresponding to the current detection current according to the correspondence between the current threshold interval and the high-voltage interlock fault type.
