[0002] As new energy vehicles become more and more popular, the demand for shortening charging time is also increasing, and the construction of DC charging piles is increasing. In order to facilitate consumers' use and the integrated management of charging modules, the distance between the current charging pile and the car battery is getting longer and longer, which leads to a longer gun line.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0022] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model. Figure 2 As shown, a DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model includes a varistor 10, an absorption capacitor module 20 and a discharge module 30. The first end of the varistor 10 is connected to the output positive cable DC+ of the charging pile, the second end is connected to the first end of the absorption capacitor module 20 and the first end of the discharge module 30, and the second end of the absorption capacitor module 20 is connected to the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile and the second end of the discharge module 30.

[0023] Combination Figure 1-2It can be seen that the car battery is connected to the positive pole of the output cable of the charging pile and the positive pole of the output cable through the gun line. Since the gun line is relatively long, there will be parasitic inductance L1 and L2 on the gun line, and the car battery has certain parasitic capacitance C1 and C2. At this time, we connect the output positive cable DC+ and the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile. Figure 2 The DC surge absorption circuit shown in the figure includes a voltage-sensitive device 10 , an absorption capacitor module 20 and a discharge module 30 .

[0024] When the output voltage of the charging pile does not exceed the rated amplitude (e.g. 1000Vdc), the varistor 10 is in the disconnected state, at which time the discharge module 30 can discharge the absorption capacitor module 20. When the output voltage of the charging pile exceeds the rated amplitude (e.g. 1000Vdc), that is, when the charging pile is started or shut down, the parasitic inductance L1, L2 on the gun line and the battery parasitic C1, C2 oscillate to form a surge, and the surge voltage exceeds 1000Vdc. At this time, the varistor 10 is in the on state, and the surge voltage charges the absorption capacitor module 20, reducing the surge and limiting the output voltage to 1000V, protecting the power module inside the charging pile and the battery being charged.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure-sensitive device 10 includes a pressure-sensitive resistor, the absorption capacitor module 20 includes at least one absorption capacitor, and the discharge module 30 includes at least one resistor.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure-sensitive device 10 includes a pressure-sensitive switch, the absorption capacitor module 20 includes at least one absorption capacitor, and the discharge module 30 includes a plurality of series-connected, parallel-connected, or series-parallel-connected resistors.

[0027] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model. Figure 3 As shown, a DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model includes a varistor R3, an absorption capacitor C3 and a discharge resistor R2. The first end of the varistor R3 is connected to the output positive cable DC+ of the charging pile, the second end is connected to the first end of the absorption capacitor C3 and the first end of the discharge resistor R2, and the second end of the absorption capacitor C3 is connected to the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile and the second end of the discharge resistor R2.

[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the varistor R3 can be selected as a varistor of the S20K385 model, for example. When the output voltage of the charging pile does not exceed the rated amplitude (for example, 1000Vdc), its resistance is too large, causing the circuit to be in a disconnected state. At this time, the discharge resistor R2 can discharge the absorption capacitor C3. When the output voltage of the charging pile exceeds the rated amplitude (for example, 1000Vdc), that is, when the charging pile is started or shut down, the parasitic inductance L1, L2 on the gun line and the battery parasitic C1, C2 oscillate to form a surge, and the surge voltage exceeds 1000Vdc. At this time, the varistor R3 is in the on state, and the surge voltage charges the absorption capacitor C3, reducing the surge, so that the output voltage is limited to 1000V, protecting the power module inside the charging pile, and the battery being charged.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the discharge resistor R2 is preferably a chip resistor, such as a high-power high-resistance chip resistor. Of course, in other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the discharge resistor R2 can also be replaced by multiple resistors connected in series or in parallel.

[0030] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of another preferred embodiment of the DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model. Figure 4 As shown, the DC surge absorption circuit is composed of a varistor R3, an absorption capacitor C3, a protection resistor R1 and a discharge resistor R2; the first end of the varistor R3 is connected to the output positive cable DC+ of the charging pile and the first end of the protection resistor R1, the second end is connected to the first end of the absorption capacitor C3, the first end of the discharge resistor R2 and the second end of the protection resistor R1, and the second end of the absorption capacitor C3 is connected to the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile and the second end of the discharge resistor R2.

[0031] In this preferred embodiment, the varistor R3 can be a varistor of model S20K385, for example. The discharge resistor R2 is a chip resistor, for example, a high-power high-resistance chip resistor. The protection resistor R1 is a cement resistor, for example, a 10-ohm impact-resistant cement resistor.

[0032] Here, the varistor R3 and the absorption capacitor C3 can be determined according to the actual required limiting voltage. In this application, the common DC charging pile 1000V DC surge absorption circuit is used as an example for explanation. The parameters of the varistor and the absorption capacitor can be changed to make the limiting voltage greater than 1000V, such as 2000V, which all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] In this preferred embodiment, due to the addition of the protective resistor R1, the varistor R3 can be protected, thereby increasing its service life. Of course, in the simplified embodiment of the utility model, Figure 2-3In the embodiment shown, the protective resistor R1 can be omitted without considering the life of the varistor R3. Similarly, in other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the discharge resistor R2 and the protective resistor can be replaced by multiple resistors connected in series or in parallel.

[0034] The DC surge absorption circuit of the utility model is implemented by adding a DC surge absorption circuit composed of a small number of common electronic components between the output positive cable and the negative cable of the charging pile, thereby preventing damage to the charging module caused by the output surge of the charging pile and ensuring the reliability of the charging pile. The circuit design is sophisticated, simple, reliable and low-cost, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance costs of the charging pile.

[0035] Figure 5 This is a circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the charging pile of the utility model. Figure 5 As shown, the charging pile includes multiple charging modules and two groups of output positive cables DC+ and output negative cables DC-, and a DC surge absorption circuit is connected between each group of output positive cables DC+ and output negative cables DC-. Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment shown, two DC surge absorption circuits are included, one of which is composed of a varistor R3, an absorption capacitor C3, a protective resistor R1 and a discharge resistor R2; the first end of the varistor R3 is connected to the output positive cable DC+ of the charging pile and the first end of the protection resistor R1, the second end is connected to the first end of the absorption capacitor C3, the first end of the discharge resistor R2 and the second end of the protection resistor R1, and the second end of the absorption capacitor C3 is connected to the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile and the second end of the discharge resistor R2. Similarly, another DC surge absorption circuit is composed of a varistor R6, an absorption capacitor C4, a protective resistor R4 and a discharge resistor R5; the first end of the varistor R6 is connected to the output positive cable DC+ of the charging pile and the first end of the protection resistor R4, the second end is connected to the first end of the absorption capacitor C4, the first end of the discharge resistor R5 and the second end of the protection resistor R4, and the second end of the absorption capacitor C4 is connected to the output negative cable DC- of the charging pile and the second end of the discharge resistor R5.

[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the varistors R3 and R6 can be selected from the varistors of the S20K385 model, for example. When the output voltage of the charging pile does not exceed the rated amplitude (e.g., 1000Vdc), the resistance is too large, causing the circuit to be in a disconnected state. At this time, the discharge resistors R2 and R5 can discharge the absorption capacitor C3. The protective resistors R1 and R4 protect the life of the varistors R3 and R6 respectively. When the output voltage of the charging pile exceeds the rated amplitude (e.g., 1000Vdc), that is, when the charging pile is started or shut down, the parasitic inductance L1, L2 on the gun line and the battery parasitic C1, C2 oscillate to form a surge, and the surge voltage exceeds 1000Vdc. At this time, the varistors R3 and R6 are in the on state, and the surge voltage charges the absorption capacitors C3 and C4, reducing the surge, so that the output voltage is limited to 1000V, protecting the power module inside the charging pile, and the battery being charged.

The rest of the charging pile can adopt the design in the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0038] By implementing the charging pile of the utility model, a DC surge absorption circuit composed of a small number of common electronic components is added between the output positive cable and the negative cable of the charging pile, thereby preventing damage to the charging module caused by the output surge of the charging pile and ensuring the reliability of the charging pile. The circuit design is sophisticated, simple, reliable and low-cost, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance cost of the charging pile.

[0039] Although the present invention is described through specific embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and equivalent substitutions may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. In addition, various modifications may be made to the present invention for specific situations or materials without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, but should include all implementation methods that fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
