Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery management technology, specifically a low-voltage intelligent control circuit for a battery management system. Background Technology

[0002] The battery management system (BMS) is a core system used to monitor, control, and manage battery packs (such as lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries). Specifically, when controlling the charging and discharging of the battery, it transfers electrical energy from the high-voltage battery to the low-voltage battery to achieve voltage equalization. However, when the battery is discharging, it accelerates the discharge rate of the high-voltage battery to shorten the time required for battery equalization. When there is a large difference between the voltage of the high-voltage battery and the average battery voltage, it will increase the discharge rate of the high-voltage battery, thereby reducing the battery's range. Furthermore, to ensure battery safety, the BMS may control the battery to stop discharging, reducing the battery's discharge efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the first detection device, the second detection device, and the third detection device can all be composed of a resistor voltage divider circuit to perform voltage sampling.

[0057] In this embodiment, a low-voltage intelligent control circuit for a battery management system includes a charging and discharging control device that receives DC power during charging. The first thyristor S1, the second thyristor S2, and the third thyristor S3 are turned on, allowing the first, second, and third batteries to be charged in series. During discharging, the charging and discharging control device transmits the power supplied by the series connection of the first, second, and third batteries. The first, second, and third detection devices respectively detect the voltage and output a first voltage signal, a second voltage signal, and a third voltage signal. This allows the first controller U1 to control the auxiliary management module 7 to operate the first battery module 2 (with a voltage higher than the average battery voltage) during charging, discharging, or resting periods. The second battery module 3 or the third battery module 4 performs discharge control. For example, when the second voltage signal is higher than the average battery voltage, the IO5 terminal of the first controller U1 controls the seventh power transistor Q7 to turn on, so that the electrical energy released by the second battery passes through the second thyristor S2, the third power transistor Q3, the second inductor L2, and the fifth power transistor Q5 to form a circuit, and is stored by the second inductor L2. When the control of the fifth power transistor Q5 to turn on is stopped, the second inductor L2 releases electrical energy and forms a circuit with the energy storage capacitor CD1 through the sixth power transistor Q6 and the fourth power transistor Q4, so that the energy storage capacitor CD1 stores energy. The stored electrical energy is used by the first controller U1 to control the tenth power transistor Q10 to turn on when the first controller U1 controls the tenth power transistor Q10 to turn on, which is the first battery in series. The second and third batteries undergo charging compensation processing. During discharge, if the first voltage signal is lower than the second and third voltage signals, and the difference between the first voltage signal and the average battery voltage is less than a set difference threshold, the IO7 terminal of the first controller U1 controls the fourth thyristor S4 to turn off. The IO1 terminal of the first controller U1 controls the first thyristor S1 to turn off, disconnecting the first battery. Simultaneously, it triggers the tenth power transistor Q10 and the fourth power transistor Q4 to turn on, causing the energy storage capacitor CD1 to replace the first battery through the tenth power transistor Q10, the fourth power transistor Q4, and the third power transistor Q3, thus replacing the first battery in series with the second and third batteries for power supply. At this time, the electrical energy of the energy storage device can be supplied by... The first battery module 2, the second battery module 3, or the third battery module 4, which has a voltage higher than the average battery voltage, provide equalization. Similarly, when the second voltage signal is lower than the first and third voltage signals and the difference between the second voltage signal and the average battery voltage is less than the difference threshold, the IO7 terminal of the first controller U1 controls the fourth thyristor S4 to be turned off, and the energy storage capacitor CD1 replaces the second battery for series power supply. When the third voltage signal is lower than the second and first voltage signals and the difference between the third voltage signal and the average battery voltage is less than the set difference threshold, the IO7 terminal of the first controller U1 does not work, and the fourth inverter J4 triggers the fourth thyristor S4 to be turned on, so that the energy storage capacitor CD1 replaces the third battery for series power supply.
