[0030] The quick charging adapter for the standby battery of the Tiantong satellite telephone is composed of an AC-DC converter, a charging adapter box and a charging data line. The connection relationship of the charging adapter box, the standby battery, the AC-DC converter and the charging data line is shown in FIG. 1. The AC-DC converter is connected with the charging adapter box through the charging data line, and the standby battery is installed in the battery slot of the charging adapter box. The AC-DC converter is responsible for converting 220V AC into 5V DC, ensuring that the stable output current is above 5A, and adjusting the output voltage in real time according to the feedback of the charging adapter box. The charging data line is a standard USB interface. By increasing the diameter of the core wire and the contact area between the connector contacts, the impedance of the charging data line is reduced, the conductivity and overcurrent capacity are enhanced, and the 5V / 5A current can be completely transmitted from the AC-DC converter to the charging adapter box, while the feedback signal of the charging adapter box is accurately transmitted to the AC-DC converter. The charging adapter box is responsible for generating a charging excitation pulse, real-time monitoring and control of the charging current and voltage, switching between fast charging mode and slow charging mode, real-time monitoring of the battery capacity and indication of the charging state, etc.
[0031] The charging adapter box is composed of a main board, an aviation plug FPC, an upper cover, a lower cover and the like. The shell of the charging adapter box is made of PC+ABS material and is formed by injection molding process.
[0032] The hardware implementation scheme of the main board of the charging adapter box is shown in FIG. Figure 2 U3 is an STM32F030 single-chip microcomputer, which is used as an MCU to monitor and control the charging process state, so as to make the charging efficiency optimal. U4 and U2 constitute a charging circuit, which are OZ1C105T and OZE202 charging chips respectively. The OZ1C105T chip is responsible for pre-charging, constant-voltage charging and re-charging, and the OZE202 chip is responsible for constant-current fast charging.
[0033] The MCU STM32F030 integrates a high-performance ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit RISC core, a high-speed embedded memory and a wide range of enhanced peripherals and I / O, which can run at a frequency of 48MHz, provides a standard communication interface (up to 2 I2C, 2 SPI and 6 USART), a 12-bit ADC, 7 general 16-bit timers and an advanced control PWM timer. The schematic diagram of the MCU STM32F030 in the main board of the charging adapter box is shown in FIG. Figure 3 .
[0034] In FIG. Figure 3 , U1 TPS79333 is an LDO power chip, which converts V SYS voltage into stable 3.3V as the working voltage of U3 STM32F030. The main pin functions of U3 STM32F030 are shown in Table 1.
[0035]
[0036] The OZE202 is a charging chip that integrates battery charging control and AC / DC converter output voltage control. It supports 5A single-cell lithium battery charging with a charging efficiency of no less than 96%@5A. The charging current and voltage are dynamically adjustable, and it supports battery overcurrent and overvoltage protection, AC / DC converter overvoltage protection, automatic AC / DC converter identification and reverse compatibility protection, and timeout protection. It achieves a high-efficiency, high-current, low-voltage charging solution. Its extremely low power loss simplifies system thermal design while providing safe high-power charging capabilities. The charging schematic of the OZE202 chip in the charging adapter box motherboard is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0037] exist Figure 4 In the middle, the input voltage V of the charging adapter box BUS and battery voltage V BAT ESD diodes D3 and D4 are connected to the power input pin VSYS of charging chip U2 respectively. ESD diodes D3 and D4, along with resistor R17, form a comparator selector, which receives the input voltage V from the charging adapter box. BUS and battery voltage V BAT The higher voltage is selected as the operating voltage for the charging management chip U2, thus ensuring that the charging chip can enter the working state normally while also ensuring V BUS Voltage and V BAT There is no voltage conflict.
[0038] Q1 and Q2 are P-channel MOSFETs. When U2 detects that the input voltage of the charging adapter box is greater than 7V, the PA_OFF pin outputs a high level, and the MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 are turned off, thereby realizing the overvoltage protection function of the charging adapter box for the AC-DC converter input voltage. When U2 detects that the battery voltage is higher than the charging voltage by 120mV or detects that the voltage difference across resistor RCH1 exceeds 100mV, the PA pin outputs a high level, and the MOSFET Q1 is turned off, thereby realizing the overvoltage and overcurrent protection function of the charging adapter box for the battery.
[0039] The voltage divider circuit composed of R63 and R64 provides the input reference voltage V to the IPROOG pin of U2. IPROG , Then the preset charging current of U2
[0040] RCH1 is a low-temperature drift inductor with an accuracy of 1% and a resistance of 15mΩ. Based on the characteristics of the OZE202 I BATT pin, V... IBATT =24×V RCH1 V RCH1 For the sensing resistor R RCH1 The voltage across the terminals is monitored in real time by ADC0, specifically the voltage V at pin I BATT. IBATTThen the actual charging current of U2
[0041] The reference voltage V output from the REF pin of U2 CC_REF =3.3V. The voltage divider circuit composed of R65 and R66 provides the input reference voltage V to the VPROG pin of U2. VPROG , Then the preset charging voltage of U2
[0042] The VFB pin of the AC / DC converter is connected to the CONT IN pin of U2 via the ADCCONT- network. When the MCU sets the GPIO1 pin of U2 to a low level and holds it for more than 200ms (t_GPIO1), if the AC / DC converter only supplies power to U2 at this time, the CONT IN pin of U2 will go high. After detecting the CONT IN current signal, the AC / DC converter will output voltage V. BUS The voltage drops from 5V to 3.7V. The MCU detects this voltage via ADC5 and assumes the AC / DC converter is only supplying power to U2. It then sets U2's GPIO2 pin low and holds it low for at least 200ms (t_GPIO2). After detecting the status of GPIO1 and GPIO2, U2 sets PA and PA_OFF pins low, turning on MOSFETs Q1 and Q2, and initiating fast charging. During fast charging, the MCU sets U2's GPIO1 pin low every 30s (t_WDR) and holds it low for at least 20ms (t_WD) to clear U2's watchdog timer. See the U2 fast charging startup timing diagram below. Figure 5 .
[0043] When the MCU sets GPIO1 of U2 to low and holds it low for more than 200ms (t_GPIO1), if the AC / DC converter is not solely supplying power to U2, then the CONT IN pin of U2 will go low, and the output voltage of the AC / DC converter will remain at 5V. The MCU detects this voltage and assumes the AC / DC converter is supplying power to U2. It then sets both GPIO1 and GPIO2 of U2 to low and holds them low for more than 200ms (t_OFF). After detecting the state of GPIO1 and GPIO2, U2 sets PA and PA_OFF pins to high, turning off MOSFETs Q1 and Q2, stopping fast charging. The MCU then sets GPIO1 and GPIO2 high. See the timing diagram for U2's fast charging stop. Figure 6 .
[0044] The OZ1C105T integrates a battery charging circuit and an OTG boost circuit, with a maximum charging current of 3A and an operating voltage of V. SYS and V BATDynamic switching between these modes is achieved through the integration of a switching MOSFET and a charging current sensing resistor, simplifying design, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. Supports I / O. 2 C-bus communication allows for programming settings such as charging voltage, wake-up voltage, minimum system voltage, charging current, charging end current, charging wake-up current, upper limit of input current, upper limit of input voltage, recharging time, recharging voltage drop, and adjustment of input voltage and safety timer. It can also read relevant registers to obtain charging circuit, charging voltage, temperature alarm, and other error states. It features input voltage undervoltage lockout, overvoltage protection, system voltage overvoltage protection, and system overtemperature protection. The charging schematic of the OZ1C105T chip on the charging adapter box motherboard is shown below. Figure 7 As shown.
[0045] exist Figure 7 In the OZ1C105T, the PSEL pin and OTG / USB pin are grounded through 0Ω resistors R73 and R5 respectively, making them low level, thereby allowing the charging circuit input current I to be applied. BUS The upper limit is set to 2.4A. The CE# pin of the OZ1 C105T is grounded through a 0Ω resistor R70, making it low, thus enabling the OZ1 C105T. The THM1 pin of the OZ1 C105T is connected to a voltage divider circuit composed of resistors NTC1, R51, and R52, forming a temperature detection loop. NTC1 is a thermistor, and its resistance decreases as temperature increases. The LX pin of the OZ1 C105T is connected to the energy storage inductor L250, forming the system voltage V generated by the switching power supply. SYS Meanwhile, inductor L250 and capacitor C26 also form an LC filter circuit to ensure the system power supply V SYS Clean and stable. The BAT pin of the OZ1C105T connects to the battery connector, providing charging voltage to the battery and monitoring the battery's own voltage.
[0046] Based on the inherent characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, rapid charging can be divided into four stages: trickle charging (low-voltage pre-charging), constant current charging, constant voltage charging, and recharging. The charging adapter's charging curve is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the charging management process is as follows: The charging adapter box first detects the voltage V of the battery to be charged. BAT If V BAT If the voltage is ≤3.6V, pre-charging will begin first, OZE202 will stop charging, and OZ1 C105T will start charging, entering low-voltage pre-charging mode; when V BAT When the voltage is greater than 3.6V, the OZ1 C105T is suspended, and the OZE202 begins charging, entering the 5A constant current fast charging mode; when the battery is almost fully charged and the charging current I... CHGWhen the voltage is less than 1A, the OZE202 stops charging, and the OZ1 C105T begins charging, entering a constant voltage slow charging mode until the battery is fully charged (4.2V). When the battery voltage drops below 4.125V, the OZ1 C105T enters recharging mode. The charging adapter software flowchart is as follows. Figure 9 As shown.
[0047] The charging adapter box software is designed and developed based on the C language environment. It consists of an ADC sampling module, an OZ1 C105T control module, an OZE202 control module, and a charging status monitoring and management module. The functional descriptions of each module are shown in Table 2.
[0048]
[0049] The ADC sampling module first configures the GPIO (pin numbers 6, 11, and 12) used for ADC sampling as analog input mode, configures the internal pull-up options, and enables the bus I / O clock. The STM32F030 supports DMA functionality; to improve ADC sampling efficiency, DMA is enabled while initializing the ADC-related configurations. Since multiple data streams need to be acquired, the ADC is set to multi-channel continuous conversion mode. After obtaining the raw ADC values, the sampled values need to be converted to decimal data so that the program can judge the sampled data. The main data sampled by the ADC includes the charging adapter box input voltage V. BUS Battery voltage V BAT OZE202 charging current indicator voltage V IBATT .
[0050] The OZ1C105T control function module uses I 2 The C interface enables communication between the STM32F030 and the OZ1C105T chip, controlling and monitoring the chip's operating status according to the control protocol. This module first connects the STM32F030 to the OZ1C105T chip via the I / O interface. 2 The GPIO (pin numbers 17 and 18) for C-communication is configured in open-drain multiplexing mode, with no internal pull-up option configured and the bus I / O clock enabled. I / O is initialized. 2 The base address, ACK response, and clock enable configuration of the C are implemented, and bus read / write functions based on register addresses are implemented to realize the register query, setting, charging start, and charging stop functions of the OZ1 C105T.
[0051] The OZE202 control module first configures the two GPIOs (pin numbers 13 and 14) used for timing control as output mode, configures the internal pull-up options and enables the bus IO clock, and controls the pin level states of GPIO1 and GPIO2 according to specific timing logic through the GPIO_SetBits() and GPIO_ResetBits() functions to achieve the control function of the OZE202 chip's working state.
[0052] The charging status monitoring and management module first configures the two GPIOs (pin numbers 8 and 9) used for LED control as output mode and configures internal pull-down options to enable the bus IO clock. It then controls the GPIO level states using the GPIO_SetBits() and GPIO_ResetBits() functions to control the LED's on / off function. Next, based on the values of the charging adapter box input voltage VBUS, battery voltage VBAT, OZE202 charging current indicator voltage VIBATT collected by the ADC sampling module, and the state of the OZ1 C105T charging stop register, the module controls the operating status of the OZ1 C105T and OZE202 through the OZ1 C105T control module and the OZE202 control module, respectively. The module also displays the charging adapter box's operating status in real time via LED indicators. The correspondence between the LED indicators and the charging adapter box's operating status is detailed in Table 3.
