For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] At present, in order to ensure the quality of the produced equipment, it is often necessary to test the equipment. For example, with the development of BMS, users have higher and higher requirements for BMS. In order to ensure the quality of BMS products, BMS needs to be tested.

[0046] When testing the BMS, it is necessary to close multiple switches between the BMS and the test board. Figure 1As shown, the first switch S1, the second switch S2 ... the third switch SN are multiple switches that need to be closed and are arranged between the BMS X and the test board Y. The control end of the first metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) Q1 is electrically connected to the first input / output device interface (IO) D0_MOS1 of the controller, the first end of the first MOSFET Q1 is grounded, the second end of the first MOSFET Q1 is electrically connected to the control end of the first switch S1, the first end of the first switch S1 is electrically connected to the test board Y, the second end of the first switch S1 is electrically connected to the BMS X, and the third end of the first switch S1 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD. The control end of the second MOSFET Q2 is electrically connected to the second IO interface D0_MOS2 of the controller, the first end of the second MOSFET Q2 is grounded, the second end of the second MOSFET Q2 is electrically connected to the control end of the second switch S2, the first end of the second switch S2 is electrically connected to the test board Y, the second end of the second switch S2 is electrically connected to the BMS X, and the third end of the second switch S2 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD. A control end of the third MOSFET QN is electrically connected to a third IO interface D0_MOSN of the controller, a first end of the third MOSFET QN is grounded, a second end of the third MOSFET QN is electrically connected to a control end of a third switch SN, a first end of the third switch SN is electrically connected to the test board Y, a second end of the third switch SN is electrically connected to the BMS X, and a third end of the third switch SN is electrically connected to the power supply VDD.

[0047] In the related art, each switch can be closed one by one, and the closing principle of the first switch S1, the second switch S2 ... the third switch SN is the same. Taking the first switch S1 as an example, when the first switch S1 needs to be closed, a low level can be output to the control end of the first MOSFET Q1 through the first IO interface D0_MOS1 of the controller to turn on the first MOSFET Q1. In this way, the power supply VDD, the first switch S1 and the first MOSFET Q1 can form a loop, so that current passes between the control end of the first switch S1 and the third end of the first switch S1, so that the first switch S1 is closed. In this way, the test board Y connected to the first end of the first switch S1 and the BMS X connected to the second end of the switch can be connected, so that the test can be performed.

[0048] The researchers of this application noticed that in the above scheme, if multiple switches need to be controlled, multiple IO interfaces are required, and the control of each switch needs to occupy an IO interface. If the number of switches to be controlled is too large, there may be a shortage of IO interfaces. Moreover, when controlling multiple switches to be turned off, it is necessary to control multiple IO ports one by one to output low levels, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to errors. Therefore, a solution is needed that can accurately and efficiently control multiple switches and avoid insufficient IO interfaces.

[0049] In order to solve the above technical problems, the researchers of this application found that if multiple switches can be controlled through one signal, the efficiency and accuracy of controlling multiple switches can be improved, and the number of IO interfaces used can also be reduced.

[0050] Based on the above findings, the researchers of this application proposed a switch control circuit and a test system, wherein the switch control circuit includes a plurality of cascaded switch modules and a control module. Among them, the plurality of switch modules are connected one-to-one with the control ends of the plurality of controlled switches, the first end of the controlled switch is electrically connected to the test device, the second end of the controlled switch is electrically connected to the device under test, and the third end of the controlled switch is electrically connected to the power supply; the control module has at least one output interface, each output interface of the control module is used to connect a switch module, and any output interface of the control module is electrically connected to any switch module.

[0051] Thus, the control module can output a control signal to control multiple cascaded switch modules. Since the multiple switch modules are connected to the control ends of the multiple controlled switches in a one-to-one correspondence, the control of the multiple controlled switches is achieved through one control signal, which not only reduces the number of output interfaces of the control module, but also eliminates the need to manually close the multiple controlled switches one by one. The operation is simple, efficient, and not prone to errors.

[0052] The switch control circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below.

[0053] Figure 2 The second structural diagram of the switch control circuit provided in some embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the switch control circuit may include: a plurality of switch modules 210 and a control module 220 connected in cascade.

[0054] Among them, the output of the previous switch module in every two adjacent switch modules included in the cascaded multiple switch modules can be the input of the next switch module, the multiple switch modules 210 can be connected to the control ends of the multiple controlled switches 300 in a one-to-one correspondence, the first end of the controlled switch 300 can be electrically connected to the test device 400, the second end of the controlled switch 300 can be electrically connected to the device under test 500, and the third end of the controlled switch 300 can be electrically connected to the power supply;

[0055] The control module 220 may have at least one output interface. Each output interface of the control module may be used to connect to a switch module respectively. Any output interface of the control module 220 may be electrically connected to any switch module.

[0056] Here, for the cascaded multiple switch modules 210, in every two adjacent switch modules, the output of the previous switch module can be used as the input of the next switch module. Each switch module can include at least one switch unit.

[0057] The control module 220 may be a module with a control function, and may be used to output a control signal. The control module 220 may control the cascaded multiple switch modules 210 by outputting a control signal, so that the controlled switch 300 may be controlled by the cascaded multiple switch modules 210 .

[0058] The output interface of the control module 220 may be an IO interface.

[0059] Exemplarily, the controlled switch 300 may be a relay, the test device 400 may be a test board, and the device under test 500 may be a BMS.

[0060] Specifically, any output interface of the control module 220 is electrically connected to any switch module 210, and the control module 220 outputs a control signal that can control the conduction of multiple cascaded switch modules 210 through the output interface, thereby controlling the closure of the controlled switches 300 connected one-to-one to the multiple switch modules 210.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, a control module can output a control signal to control multiple cascaded switch modules. Since the multiple switch modules are connected to the control ends of the multiple controlled switches in a one-to-one correspondence, the control of the multiple controlled switches is achieved through one control signal, which not only reduces the number of output interfaces of the control module, but also eliminates the need to manually close the multiple controlled switches one by one. The operation is simple, efficient, and not prone to errors.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, each two adjacent switch modules in the multiple switch modules may include a first switch module and a second switch module, the multiple controlled switches may include at least a first controlled switch 310 and a second controlled switch 320, and at least one output interface of the control module 220 may include at least a first output interface D0_MOS1-1.

[0063] The first switch module may include a first switch unit 2111 and a second switch unit 2112, the control end of the first switch unit 2111 may be electrically connected to the first output interface D0_MOS1-1, the first end of the first switch unit 2111 may be grounded, the second end of the first switch unit 2111 may be electrically connected to the control end of the second switch unit 2112 and the control end of the first controlled switch 310, respectively, the first end of the second switch unit 2112 may be electrically connected to the control end of the third switch unit 2121 in the second switch module, the first end of the second switch unit 2112 may also be grounded, and the second end of the second switch unit 2112 may be electrically connected to the power supply;

[0064] The second switch module may include a third switch unit 2121 , a first end of the third switch unit 2121 may be grounded, and a second end of the third switch unit 2121 may be electrically connected to a control end of the second controlled switch 320 .

[0065] Here, the first switch unit 2111 , the second switch unit 2112 , and the third switch unit 2121 may all be MOSFETs.

[0066] Specifically, the control module 220 outputs a low level to the control end of the first switch unit 2111 through the first output interface D0_MOS1-1, so that the first end and the second end of the first switch unit 2111 are connected. In this way, the power supply, the control end of the first controlled switch 310, the third end of the first controlled switch 310, the first end of the first switch unit 2111, and the second end of the first switch unit 2111 form a loop, and current flows between the control end and the third end of the first controlled switch 310, so that the first controlled switch 310 can be closed, that is, the first end and the second end of the first controlled switch 310 are connected. In addition, the first end and the second end of the first switch unit 2111 are conductive, so that the control end of the second switch unit 2112 is at a low level, thereby conductive between the first end and the second end of the second switch unit 2112. In this way, the power supply, the first end of the second switch unit 2112, and the second end of the second switch unit 2112 form a loop, so that the control end of the third switch unit 2121 is at a low level, thereby conductive between the first end and the second end of the third switch unit 2121. The power supply, the control end of the second controlled switch 320, the third end of the second controlled switch 320, the first end of the third switch unit 2121, and the second end of the third switch unit 2121 form a loop, and current flows between the control end and the third end of the second controlled switch 320, thereby closing the second controlled switch 320, that is, conductive between the first end and the second end of the second controlled switch 320.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, cascade control between multiple switch modules can be achieved through the switch unit set in each switch module, so there is no need to control multiple controlled switches one by one, and there is no need for each controlled switch to occupy an output interface of the control module respectively.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, if the second switch module is not the last one of the multiple cascaded switch modules, the second switch module may include a third switch unit and a fourth switch unit, wherein the connection relationship of the fourth switch unit may be the same as the connection relationship of the second switch unit, which is not repeated here.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, at least one output interface of the control module 220 may further include a second output interface D0_MOS1-2, and the second output interface D0_MOS1-2 may be electrically connected to the control end of the third switch unit 2121.

[0070] Specifically, if the control module 220 outputs a low level through the first output interface D0_MOS1-1, the first controlled switch 310 and the controlled switches after the first controlled switch 310 can be controlled to be closed; if the control module 220 outputs a low level through the second output interface D0_MOS1-2, the second controlled switch 320 and the controlled switches after the second controlled switch 320 can be controlled to be closed.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the multiple switch modules to the multiple output interfaces of the control module in a one-to-one correspondence, some of the multiple controlled switches can be flexibly controlled to be closed.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the first switch module may further include: a first current limiting unit 2113 .

[0073] The first end of the first current limiting unit 2113 may be electrically connected to the second end of the first switch unit 2111 and the control end of the second switch unit 2112 , respectively, and the second end of the first current limiting unit 2113 may be electrically connected to a power source.

[0074] The first current limiting unit 2113 may be a device having a current limiting function. For example, the first current limiting unit 2113 may be a resistor.

[0075] The first end of the first current limiting unit 2113 is electrically connected to the second end of the first switch unit 2111 , and can limit the current flowing to the second end of the first switch unit 2111 to prevent the first switch unit 2111 from being broken down.

[0076] The first end of the first current limiting unit 2113 is electrically connected to the control end of the second switch unit 2112 , and can limit the current flowing to the control end of the second switch unit 2112 to prevent the second switch unit 2112 from being broken down.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first end of the first current limiting unit to be electrically connected to the second end of the first switch unit and the control end of the second switch unit respectively, the first switch unit and the second switch unit can be prevented from being broken down.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the first switch module may further include: a second current limiting unit 2114 .

[0079] The first end of the second current limiting unit 2114 can be electrically connected to the first end of the first current limiting unit 2113, the second end of the first switch unit 2111 and the control end of the first controlled switch 310 respectively, and the second end of the second current limiting unit 2114 can be electrically connected to the control end of the second switch unit 2112.

[0080] The second current limiting unit 2114 may be a device having a current limiting function. For example, the second current limiting unit 2114 may be a resistor.

[0081] The second end of the second current limiting unit 2114 is electrically connected to the control end of the second switch unit 2112 , and can limit the current flowing to the control end of the second switch unit 2112 to prevent the second switch unit 2112 from being broken down.

[0082] In addition, the first end of the second current limiting unit 2114 is electrically connected to the first end of the first current limiting unit 2113, so that the first current limiting unit 2113 and the second current limiting unit 2114 can jointly limit the current flowing to the control end of the second switch unit 2112, thereby better preventing the second switch unit 2112 from being broken down.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first end of the second current limiting unit to be electrically connected to the first end of the first current limiting unit, and the second end of the second current limiting unit to be electrically connected to the control end of the second switch unit, the second switch unit can be prevented from being broken down.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the first switch module may further include: a third current limiting unit 2115 .

[0085] A first end of the third current limiting unit 2115 may be electrically connected to a second end of the second switch unit 2112 , and a second end of the third current limiting unit 2115 may be electrically connected to a power source.
