Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a reverse connection protection circuit for a charger which has a reasonable structure, is easy to operate and is suitable for charger products for new energy electric vehicles. Background technology:
[0002] With the application of new energy technology, more and more batteries are used in our daily life. In particular, new energy electric vehicles are powered by electricity, so the equipment needs a charger to charge in order to operate normally. During the charging process, the charger is connected to a storage device such as a battery or a battery pack, and the battery is charged through a charging circuit. The charger can only work normally when and only when the positive and negative polarity of the charger output terminal matches the positive and negative polarity of the battery terminal. Once the polarity of the charger output terminal is reversed with the polarity of the battery terminal, the battery in the charging circuit will be short-circuited at the moment the charger is turned on, causing damage to the charger or even the battery.
[0003] In order to solve the above problem, the existing technology performs sampling and judgment by setting a negative voltage in the charging circuit. That is, if the polarity of the charger output terminal is reversed with the battery polarity, the MCU inside the charger will sample a negative voltage, and then determine that the battery is reversed, alarm and prompt, and ensure that the charger does not start working. However, the circuit structure in the existing technology is complex and the cost is high. Summary of the invention:
[0004] The utility model solves the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art and proposes a reverse connection protection circuit for a charger which has a simple circuit structure, low cost and reliable detection.
[0005] The utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A reverse connection protection circuit for a charger comprises a high-voltage isolation circuit, a sampling bias circuit, a sampling circuit, and an MCU controller, wherein the sampling circuit is provided with N sampling resistors connected in series in sequence, N≥2, wherein the first sampling resistor is connected to the positive electrode of a battery to be charged, the Nth sampling resistor is connected to the negative electrode of the battery to be charged, and the voltage division output of the Nth sampling resistor is the sampling voltage; the sampling bias circuit comprises a first bias diode and a first bias resistor, the first bias diode is connected in parallel with the Nth sampling resistor, the anode of the first bias diode is connected to the negative electrode of the rechargeable battery, one end of the first sampling bias resistor is connected to the cathode of the first bias diode, and the other end is connected to a 3.3V power supply.

[0008] The sampling bias circuit of the utility model provides a forward bias of the sampling voltage when the battery is normally connected; when the battery is reversely connected, the bias diode is turned on, the reverse voltage is clamped, and a clamping value of the reverse sampling voltage is provided.
[0009] The MCU controller of the utility model comprises a plurality of groups of ADC sampling channels, and the output required for sampling enters the ADC sampling circuit after passing through RC low-frequency filtering.
[0010] When the utility model is working, when the charger and the battery are connected in the forward direction, under the action of the sampling bias circuit, through the ADC sampling channel of the MCU, when the battery is zero volt, the MCU controller samples a fixed positive voltage, and this voltage is the sampling bias voltage; when the battery is reversely connected, due to the clamping effect of the bias diode being turned on, the sampling voltage value of the sampling circuit is clamped at a fixed value, and this value is much lower than the sampling bias voltage. Through the implementation of this circuit, in the absence of a negative voltage power supply and negative voltage sampling, the sampling and protection of the battery reverse connection is realized.
