[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a high-power circuit provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 1 , the high-power circuit 100 includes a transistor branch 101 and a relay branch 102, the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are connected in parallel, and the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are arranged at the positive electrode of the lithium battery 201 or the negative electrode of the lithium battery 201.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , the transistor branch 101 includes a first self-locking unit ZS1, a discharge transistor Q1, and a charging transistor Q2, and the relay branch 102 includes a relay K1, a diode D1, and a second self-locking unit ZS2. The discharge transistor Q1 and the charging transistor Q2 are both PMOS transistors.

[0024] The source of the discharging transistor Q1 is connected with the positive pole of the lithium battery 201, the drain of the discharging transistor Q1 is connected with the drain of the charging transistor Q2, the source of the charging transistor Q2 is used as the external positive pole of the high-power circuit 100, the gate of the discharging transistor Q1 and the gate of the charging transistor Q2 are both connected with the control unit through the first self-locking unit ZS1, the first switch terminal of the relay K1 is connected with the source of the discharging transistor Q1, the second switch terminal of the relay K1 is connected with the source of the charging transistor Q2, the first power supply terminal of the relay K1 is connected with the cathode of the diode D1 and the output terminal of the second self-locking unit ZS2 respectively, the second power supply terminal of the relay K1 is connected with the anode of the diode D1, and the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the second self-locking unit ZS2 are both connected with the control unit.

[0025] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the high-power circuit 100 can also be used for the negative pole of the lithium battery 201, and when the high-power circuit 100 is used for different poles, the corresponding components need to be changed accordingly, for example, the transistor is replaced by an NMOS tube.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a management method of a high-power circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3 , the specific steps of the management method of the high-power circuit include S301-S303.

[0027] S301, when receiving a charging instruction or a discharging instruction, determining the transistor of the transistor branch that needs to be turned on as the main power circuit according to the transmission power of the transistor branch and the first preset power.

[0028] For example, as shown in Figure 1 , when the transmission power of the transistor branch 101 is less than the first preset power, only part of the transistors of the transistor branch 101 need to be turned on as the main power circuit, for example, the discharging transistor Q1 is turned on when receiving the discharging instruction, and for example, the charging transistor Q2 is turned on when receiving the charging instruction. At this time, the transmission power is low, and turning on part of the transistors will not cause the transistor to overheat under the corresponding transmission power. When the transmission power of the transistor branch 101 is greater than or equal to the first preset power, turning on part of the transistors may cause the transistor to overheat, therefore, the discharging transistor Q1 and the charging transistor Q2 need to be turned on as the main power circuit to prevent the transistor from overheating.

[0029] S302, when detecting that the working power is greater than or equal to the second preset power, locking all the transistors of the transistor branch to be in the turned-on state, and the second preset power is greater than the first preset power.

[0030] For example, when the delivered power (discharge power or charge power) of the high-power circuit 100 is greater than or equal to the second preset power, the discharge transistor Q1 and the charge transistor Q2 are in a holding state, and the high-power circuit 100 enters a transistor holding state. In the transistor holding state, the discharge transistor Q1 and the charge transistor Q2 are controlled by the self-holding circuit designed by hardware. At this time, if the software is reset, the driving signal of the control transistor will not be affected, ensuring that the discharge transistor Q1 and the charge transistor Q2 remain open.

[0031] S303, when it is detected that the working power is greater than or equal to the second preset power and the absolute value of the working current of the high-power circuit is greater than the preset current threshold, the relay branch is opened as the main power circuit, and all the transistors of the transistor branch are locked to be open, and the transistor branch is used as the auxiliary power circuit.

[0032] For example, if it is detected that the delivered current of the high-power circuit 100 in the transistor holding state (S5) exceeds the preset current threshold, the relay branch 102 will be opened and used as the main power circuit, and the transistor branch 101 is used as the auxiliary power circuit, and the high-power circuit 100 enters a steady state (S6). At this time, since the relay branch 102 is opened on the basis that the transistors of the transistor branch 101 are in the holding state, the voltage difference across the relay K1 is very low, and the main power circuit is in a stable state, and dangerous working conditions such as arc drawing do not occur. The addition of the relay branch 102 effectively alleviates the overheating problem that may occur in the transistor branch 101 during high-power transmission.

[0033] However, in the case of high-power transmission, even if the second self-holding unit ZS2 exists, the relay K1 may flash off (e.g., due to vibration), causing the relay branch 102 to be disconnected. Since the transistor branch 101 is used as the auxiliary power circuit, even if the relay K1 flashes off, the transistor branch 101 can replace the relay branch 102 as the main power circuit, and the power supply of the high-power circuit 100 will not be affected, thereby avoiding the occurrence of arc explosion and the like.

[0034] The embodiment of the application provides a kind of high power circuit management method, this method is applied to high power circuit, high power circuit includes: transistor branch and relay branch, transistor branch and relay branch are parallel, this method includes: when receiving charging instruction or discharging instruction, according to the delivery power of transistor branch and first preset power Determine the transistor of transistor branch that needs to be opened as main power loop;When detecting that operating power is greater than or equal to second preset power, lock all transistors of transistor branch as open state, second preset power is greater than first preset power;When detecting that operating power is greater than or equal to second preset power, and the absolute value of operating current of high power circuit is greater than preset current threshold, open relay branch as main power loop, and lock all transistors of transistor branch to open, transistor branch as auxiliary power loop.In the above method, by taking relay branch as high-power main path, transistor branch is used as auxiliary path in high-voltage scene, and software logic and hardware self-locking are matched to form a scheme to prevent relay and transistor misoperation, ensuring stable operation of high-power circuit, and solving the safety problems such as arc extinguishing, space occupation and heating in the on-off management process of high-voltage power circuit.

[0035] In order to more clearly introduce the technical scheme of the application, the technical scheme of the application will be introduced through specific embodiments below. It should be noted that the specific embodiments are used to expand the description of the technical scheme of the application, and not to limit the application.

[0036] In some embodiments, the transistor branch 101 includes a charging transistor Q2 and a discharging transistor Q1. When receiving a charging instruction or a discharging instruction, the transistor of the transistor branch 101 that needs to be opened is determined as a main power loop according to the delivery power of the transistor branch 101 and a first preset power. If a charging instruction is received, the charging transistor Q2 is opened and used as the main power loop. If a discharging instruction is received, the discharging transistor Q1 is opened and used as the main power loop. After receiving the charging instruction or the discharging instruction, if it is detected that the operating power of the high power circuit 100 is greater than or equal to the first preset power, the charging transistor Q2 and the discharging transistor Q1 are opened, and the charging transistor Q2 and the discharging transistor Q1 are used as the main power loop.

[0037] For example, the initial state of the high power circuit 100 is the shutdown state (S1). In the shutdown state, the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are both in the closed state. The shutdown state (S1) occurs in the case of shutdown, protection, etc. (charging, discharging, and short circuit, etc.).

[0038] For example, the initial state of the high power circuit 100 is the shutdown state (S1). In the shutdown state, the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are both in the closed state. The shutdown state (S1) occurs in the case of shutdown, protection, etc. (charging, discharging, and short circuit, etc.). Figure 1As shown, when the high-power circuit 100 receives a discharge command (button command or software command), the high-power circuit 100 enters the output-only state (S2), turning on the discharge transistor Q1. In the output-only state (S2), the main power circuit of the high-power circuit 100 allows current to flow from B+ to P+ and from P- to B-. In the output-only state (S2), if an overcurrent discharge protection or shutdown occurs, it will return to the shutdown state (S1).

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, when the high-power circuit 100 receives a charging command (charger insertion or software command), the high-power circuit 100 enters the on-only input state (S3), turning on the charging transistor Q2. In the on-only input state (S3), the main power circuit of the high-power circuit 100 allows current to flow from P+ to B+ and from B- to P-. In the on-only input state (S3), if charging overcurrent protection, charger removal, or power-off occurs, it will return to the power-off state (S1).

[0040] In both the output-only (S2) and input-only (S3) states, when the power output (discharge or charge) of the high-power circuit 100 exceeds the first preset power, both the discharge transistor Q1 and the charge transistor Q2 are fully turned on, and the high-power circuit 100 enters the fully-on transistor state (S4), ensuring the normal operation of the main power circuit. In the fully-on transistor state (S4), the main power circuit allows current to flow from P+ to B+, from B+ to P+, from B- to P-, and from P- to B-. If a protection (charging, discharging) or shutdown condition occurs in the fully-on transistor state (S4), the circuit will return to the shutdown state (S1) to ensure no dangerous operating conditions occur.

[0041] In some embodiments, after turning on the relay branch 102 as the main power circuit, the method further includes: when the operating power is detected to be greater than or equal to a second preset power and the absolute value of the operating current of the high power circuit 100 is less than a preset current threshold, turning off the relay branch 102, locking all transistors in the transistor branch 101 to be turned on, and the transistor branch 101 to be the main power circuit.

[0042] For example, when the high-power circuit 100 is in the steady state (S6), the relay branch 102 serves as the main power circuit, and when the absolute value of the working current of the high-power circuit 100 is less than the preset current threshold, the high-power circuit 100 has actually exited the state of high-power transmission, and the high-power circuit 100 can return to the transistor maintaining state (S5). In the transistor maintaining state (S5), the current transmission requirement can be met by the transistor branch 101, and the transistor branch 101 can further support autonomous protection and the like. Therefore, the relay K1 of the relay branch 102 needs to be exited from the self-locking state, and the relay K1 of the relay branch 102 is turned off, so that the flexibility of the autonomous protection of the relay K1 can be improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, after all the transistors of the transistor branch 101 are in the on state, the method further includes: when it is detected that the working power is less than the second preset power, the on state locking of all the transistors of the transistor branch 101 is released.

[0044] For example, when the working power of the high-power circuit 100 in the transistor maintaining state (S5) is further reduced, that is, the working power is less than the second preset power, the high-power circuit 100 can return to the transistor full-on state (S4). In the transistor full-on state (S4), the transistors of the transistor branch 101 can withstand the off effect of the working power, and the on state locking applied to the transistors in the transistor maintaining state (S5) needs to be released, so that the flexibility of the autonomous protection of the transistor branch 101 can be improved.

[0045] In some embodiments, if the on state of all the transistors of the transistor branch 101 is not locked, the method further includes: if a preset off signal is detected, turning off all the transistors of the transistor branch 101 to turn off the transistor branch 101.

[0046] For example, the preset off signal includes a shutdown signal, a short-circuit protection signal, an overload protection signal and the like, and when the control unit detects such a signal, the high-power circuit 100 can be controlled to shut down.

[0047] In some embodiments, the transistor branch 101 includes a first self-locking unit ZS1, the relay branch 102 includes a second self-locking unit ZS2, and the method further includes: controlling the transistors of the transistor branch 101 to be in the on locking state by the first self-locking unit ZS1; and controlling the relay K1 of the relay branch 102 to be in the on locking state by the second self-locking unit ZS2.

[0048] For example, the transistors of the transistor branch 101 are controlled to be in an open locking state by the first self-locking unit ZS1. The transistors are controlled by the first self-locking unit ZS1 designed by hardware. If the control program of the control unit is reset, the driving signal of the transistors will not be affected, ensuring that the transistor branch 101 will not be turned off. The second self-locking unit ZS2 is used to ensure that the driving signal of the relay branch 102 will not be affected.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A state change schematic diagram of the high-power circuit is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the states of the high-power circuit 100 include: a shutdown state (S1), an output-only on state (S2), an input-only on state (S3), a transistor full-on state (S4), a transistor holding state (S5), and a steady state (S6).

[0050] As Figure 4 shown, in the shutdown state (S1), the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are both in a closed state.

[0051] In the output-only on state (S2) or the input-only on state (S3), only part of the transistor branch 101 (such as the discharge transistor Q1 or the charging transistor Q2) is turned on.

[0052] In the transistor full-on state (S4), all the transistors of the transistor branch 101 are turned on.

[0053] In the transistor holding state (S5), the transistor branch 101 enters a holding state (i.e., an open locking state).

[0054] In the steady state (S6), the transistor branch 101 and the relay branch 102 are both in an open state.

[0055] When in the transistor full-on state (S4), if the discharge current exceeds a preset current threshold (or a second preset power), the first self-locking unit ZS1 will act to lock the open state of all the transistors of the transistor branch 101, and the transistors cannot be directly turned off. The high-power circuit 100 switches to the transistor holding state (S5).

[0056] When the high-power circuit 100 is in the transistor holding state (S5), if the working current (absolute value) continues to increase and exceeds the preset current threshold, the relay branch 102 is turned on, and the high-power circuit 100 enters the steady state (S6).

[0057] When the high-power circuit 100 is in the steady state (S6), the working current (absolute value) decreases to below the preset current threshold, the relay branch 102 is closed, and the high-power circuit 100 returns to the transistor holding state (S5).

[0058] When the high-power circuit 100 is in the transistor full-on state (S4), only the transistor branch 101 is turned on at this time, and any protection such as short-circuit protection can be performed.

[0059] When the high-power circuit 100 is in the transistor holding state (S5), only the transistor branch 101 is still turned on at this time, but the transistor cannot be directly turned off due to the action of the first self-locking unit ZS1, and the relay branch 102 is prepared in advance.

[0060] When the high-power circuit 100 is in the steady state (S6), the voltage across the relay branch 102 is almost zero due to the action of the transistor branch 101, so the relay branch 102 can be switched at any time without arc. At the same time, the transistor branch 101 is forced to be turned on by the first self-locking unit ZS1, and even if the relay branch 102 is flashed (such as vibration), it will not affect the power supply of the entire high-power circuit 100.

[0061] The state switching of the entire high-power circuit 100 is logically controlled, and is sequentially switched according to the state change logic as shown in Figure 4 , which realizes reliable management of the power path of high voltage and large current.
