[0021] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the control method of the on-off state of the charging port is greatly affected by the external environment and it is difficult to stably control the on-off state of the charging port, the present application provides a control system and a battery for a discharge port, which can effectively improve the stability of the control of the on-off state of the charging port and avoid the influence of the external environment on the control of the on-off state of the charging port.

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a control system of a discharge port provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , a control system of a discharge port provided in the present application includes a magnet 1, an induction circuit 2 and a controller 3;

[0024] The magnet 1 is disposed on one side of the induction circuit 2; the magnet 1 is used to excite a magnetic field on one side of the induction circuit 2;

[0025] The first end of the induction circuit 2 is connected to the external power supply, the second end of the induction circuit 2 is grounded, and the output end of the induction circuit 2 is connected to the input end of the controller 3; the induction circuit 2 is used to sense the magnetic field, and when the magnet 1 approaches the induction circuit 2, the high level signal input from the external power supply is output to the controller 3;

[0026] The input end of the controller 3 is connected to the output end of the sensing circuit 2 , and the output end of the controller 3 is connected to the discharge port; the controller 3 is used to open the discharge port when receiving a high level signal.

[0027] Specifically, the present application provides a control system for a charging port that is disposed inside a battery, wherein the induction circuit 2 and the controller 3 are connected to the management system of the battery, and the magnet 1 is independently disposed outside the management system of the battery through a mechanical device.

[0028] The mechanical device connected to the magnet 1 can control the magnet 1 to be close to or close to the induction circuit 2. The present application does not limit the specific structure of the mechanical device, and only requires that the mechanical device can complete the movement of the position of the magnet 1.

[0029] The sensing circuit 2 and the controller 3 are both powered by the same external power supply, which may be the power supply of the battery management system, an independent external power supply, or the battery itself, which is not limited here.

[0030] In the technical solution provided in the present application, when the user wants to open the charging port of the battery, the magnet 1 is controlled to be close to the induction circuit 2. As the distance between the magnet 1 and the induction circuit 2 increases, the magnetic flux of the magnet 1 at the induction circuit 2 decreases. When the amount of the magnet 1 at the induction circuit 2 is less than a certain value, the induction circuit 2 outputs the high-level signal input by the external power supply to the controller 3 through the output end of the induction circuit 2. After receiving the high-level signal, the controller 3 controls the charging port to open.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the sensing circuit 2 includes a Hall element 21 and a switch unit 22;

[0032] The first end of the Hall element 21 is connected to the external power supply and the first end of the switch unit 22 respectively, the second end of the Hall element 21 is grounded and connected to the second end of the switch unit 22, and the third end of the Hall element 21 is connected to the third end of the switch unit 22; the Hall element 21 is used to sense the magnetic field excited by the magnet 1, and control the on-off state of the switch unit 22 according to the magnetic field excited by the magnet 1;

[0033] The first end of the switch unit 22 is connected to an external power supply, the second end of the switch unit 22 is grounded and connected to the input end of the controller 3 as the output end of the sensing circuit 2, and the third end of the switch unit 22 is connected to the third end of the Hall element 21; the switch unit 22 is used to control the high-level signal input or not input to the controller 3 according to its own on-off state.

[0034] Specifically, the Hall element 21 is used to sense the magnetic field generated by the magnet 1. The first end of the Hall element 21 is the power supply end of the Hall element 21, which is connected to the external power supply; the second end of the Hall element 21 is the grounding end of the Hall element 21, which is connected to the floating ground; the third end of the Hall element 21 is the output end of the Hall element 21, which is connected to the third end of the switch unit 22.

[0035] The switch unit 22 is used to control the high-level signal of the external power supply to be input into the controller 3 or not according to its own on-off state. The first end of the switch unit 22 serves as the power supply end of the switch unit 22 and is connected to the external power supply; the second end of the switch unit 22 serves as the grounding end and the output end of the switch unit 22 and is respectively connected to the floating ground and the input end of the controller 3; the third end of the switch unit 22 serves as the input end of the switch unit 22 and is connected to the third end of the Hall element 21.

[0036] The magnet 1 is arranged on one side of the Hall element 21 in the induction circuit 2. When the magnet 1 is close enough to the Hall element 21, due to the Hall effect, the Hall element 21 outputs a low level at the output end of the Hall element 21; the switch unit 22 is turned on when the input end of the switch unit 22 is at a low level, so that the high level signal input by the external power supply can be input to the input end of the controller 3 through the switch unit 22; after receiving the high level signal, the controller 3 controls the charging port to open.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the switch unit 22 includes a PMOS tube Q;

[0038] The source of the PMOS tube Q serves as the first end of the switch unit 22 and is connected to the external power supply and the first end of the Hall element 21. The drain of the PMOS tube Q serves as the second end of the switch unit 22 and is grounded and respectively connected to the input end of the controller 3 and the second end of the Hall element 21. The gate of the PMOS tube Q serves as the third end of the switch unit 22 and is connected to the third end of the Hall element 21.

[0039] Specifically, based on the above embodiment, when the magnet 1 is close to the Hall element 21, the Hall element 21 outputs a low level at the output end of the Hall element 21, and the gate voltage of the PMOS tube Q is pulled low. When the gate voltage of the PMOS tube Q is lower than the threshold voltage, the source and drain of the PMOS tube Q are connected, and the high level signal input by the external power supply is input to the input end of the controller 3 through the turned-on PMOS tube Q.

[0040] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the switch unit 22 may also include a PNP transistor;

[0041] The base of the PNP transistor serves as the first end of the switch unit 22, connecting the external power supply and the first end of the Hall element 21; the collector of the PNP transistor serves as the second end of the switch unit 22, is grounded and respectively connected to the input end of the controller 3 and the second end of the Hall element 21; the emitter of the PNP transistor serves as the third end of the switch unit 22, connecting the third end of the Hall element 21.

[0042] In other feasible embodiments of the present application, the switch unit 22 can also be a logic circuit composed of multiple electronic components, which only needs to meet the requirement that when the input end of the switch unit 22 is at a low potential, the switch unit 22 is turned on so that the high-level signal input by the external power supply can be output to the input end of the controller 3.

[0043] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the Hall element 21 is a unipolar Hall switch U.

[0044] Based on this embodiment, when the Hall element 21 is a unipolar Hall switch U, the front side of the Hall element 21 faces the S pole of the magnet 1. Also based on this embodiment, when the Hall element 21 is a unipolar Hall switch U, the model of the Hall element 21 may be AH3144.

[0045] In other feasible embodiments of the present application, the Hall element 21 can also be a bipolar Hall switch or an omnipolar Hall switch, and it is only necessary that when the magnet 1 approaches the Hall element 21, the Hall element 21 outputs a low level at the output end of the Hall element 21.

[0046] It should be noted that for different types of Hall elements 21, the orientation of the magnetic pole of the magnet 1 needs to be set differently. For example, when the Hall element 21 is a bipolar Hall switch, it is not necessary to specify whether the S pole of the magnet 1 faces the front of the Hall element 21 or the N pole faces the front of the Hall element 21. Regardless of whether the S pole of the magnet 1 faces the front of the Hall element 21 or the N pole faces the front of the Hall element 21, the bipolar Hall switch outputs a low level at the output end of the Hall element 21 when the magnet 1 approaches.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the sensing circuit 2 further includes a first resistor R1;

[0048] A first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to an external power source and a first end of the switch unit 22 , respectively, and a second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to a first end of the Hall element 21 .

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the sensing circuit 2 further includes a second resistor R2;

[0050] The first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the external power supply and the first end of the switch unit 22 , respectively. The second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the third end of the Hall element 21 and the third end of the switch unit 22 , respectively.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the sensing circuit 2 further includes a third resistor R3;

[0052] A first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the third end of the switch unit 22 , and a second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the third end of the Hall element 21 .

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the sensing circuit 2 further includes a fourth resistor R4;

[0054] A first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second end of the switch unit 22 and the input end of the controller 3 respectively, and a second end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded.

[0055] Specifically, the first resistor R1 , the second resistor R2 , the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 all function to limit the current in the loop where the resistors are located, thereby preventing overcurrent from causing a fault in the sensing circuit 2 .

[0056] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the controller 3 can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), which includes multiple signal input terminals. One of the signal input terminals of the controller 3 is connected to the output terminal of the sensing circuit 2. When the signal input terminal receives a high-level signal, the controller 3 controls the charging port of the battery to open.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the signal input terminal of the controller 3 for receiving the high-level signal of the sensing circuit 2 may be the MCU_DET port of the controller 3 .

[0058] Through the technical solution provided by the present application, the on-off state of the charging port is controlled by the cooperation of the magnet 1, the induction circuit 2 and the controller 3. Compared with the control scheme of the charging port by the external high-level enable detection port in the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present application controls the on-off state of the charging port by controlling whether the induction circuit 2 inputs a high-level signal to the controller 3 through the non-contact magnet 1, thereby avoiding the influence of the external environment on related components; at the same time, even if the technical solution provided by the present application works in an external humid environment or a saline-alkali environment, the external humid environment or the saline-alkali environment cannot affect the properties of the magnet 1. When the magnet 1 is close to the induction circuit 2, the charging port can be stably opened, which effectively improves the stability of the control of the on-off state of the charging port.
