Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of circuits, in particular to a wake-up recovery circuit of a battery management system for an automobile. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of electric and hybrid electric vehicle technologies, the importance of automotive battery management systems (BMS) has become increasingly prominent. BMS is not only responsible for monitoring the health of the battery pack, such as key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature, but also participates in core functions such as battery charge and discharge control, extending battery life, and ensuring driving safety. However, traditional automotive battery management systems face several challenges in design, especially in terms of energy efficiency management, system response speed, data transmission reliability, and system stability.

[0003] Energy efficiency management issues: Existing BMS designs often ignore the energy consumption of the system when it is not working, and lack an effective power management mechanism, which causes battery energy to be wasted in unnecessary losses, affecting the overall endurance of the vehicle.

[0004] Insufficient system responsiveness: Some BMS systems cannot respond quickly to external requests or internally monitored emergencies due to insensitive wake-up mechanism design, which affects the timely adjustment and processing of battery status and reduces the practicality and safety of the system.

[0005] Data transmission reliability issues: In complex vehicle environments, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an important factor affecting communication quality. In existing technologies, the anti-interference ability of CAN bus data transmission is limited, which may cause data errors or loss, affecting the accuracy of battery management and the correctness of decision-making.

[0006] System stability and durability: Inadequate protection measures in the system design, such as the lack of adequate circuit protection components and filtering measures, make the BMS prone to failure when faced with overvoltage, overcurrent or electromagnetic interference, shortening the system life and increasing maintenance costs.

[0007] Scalability and compatibility limitations: With the continuous advancement of battery technology and vehicle electronic architecture, BMS needs to cope with more diverse battery configurations and more complex system integration requirements. However, existing BMS designs are often not flexible enough, making it difficult to easily add new functions or be compatible with different platforms, limiting its application scope and development potential.

A new type of wake-up and data retrieval circuit design is urgently needed to overcome the above challenges and meet the needs of modern electric vehicles for efficient, reliable and intelligent battery management.

The power switch is used to control the power supply of the system, while the CAN bus transceiver is responsible for data transmission and recovery between the microcontroller. The power switch is connected to the battery through the VBAT pin, and its on and off state can be controlled by the EN pin.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the present application provides a wake-up and recovery circuit for a vehicle battery management system, which is specifically constructed as follows:

[0037] System Components

[0038] Microcontroller (MCU): A high-performance, low-power STM32 series microcontroller with a multi-channel serial communication interface is selected to process data from the CAN bus and control the working status of the entire system.

[0039] CAN bus transceiver (TLE9252V): As a key component of automotive network communication, TLE9252V is responsible for receiving (BMS) information on the CAN bus and transmitting it to the microcontroller's IN pin through its RxD (receive data) pin; at the same time, it broadcasts the commands issued by the microcontroller through the Out pin to the CAN bus through its TxD (transmit data) pin.

[0040] Power switch (TLE4478D): This component is the core of the system power management and controls the power on and off through its EN pin. When receiving a wake-up signal or initial power-on, the EN pin is pulled high, allowing the VBAT voltage to power the system through the Q1 pin. The Q2 pin is used to drive additional loads, such as sensors or actuators.

[0041] Circuit connection and function realization

[0042] Power Management:

[0043] The VBAT interface is directly connected to the positive terminal of the car battery and is protected by diode D1 (1N4001) to prevent reverse discharge of the battery.

[0044] Resistors R3 and R2 are connected in series and then grounded, with a wake-up control switch power switch connected in the middle. When the power switch is closed, the EN pin is pulled low through R2 to keep the TLE4478D in the off state, thus achieving low-power standby of the system.

[0045] When the system needs to be woken up, the power switch is disconnected through an external signal, R3 provides a pull-up path for the EN pin, EN is pulled high, TLE4478D is turned on, and the VBAT voltage powers the entire system through the Q1 pin.

[0046] Data transmission and processing:

[0047] The 7th pin (INH) of TLE9252V is directly connected to the EN pin of TLE4478D to ensure the synchronous working state of the two.

[0048] The CANH interface and the CANL interface are connected through R1 (120 ohm terminal resistor) to form the CAN bus physical layer to ensure signal integrity.

[0049] The IN pin of the microcontroller is connected to the RxD pin of the TLE9252V for receiving CAN bus data; the Out pin is connected to the TxD pin for sending commands to the BMS or other nodes.

[0050] The WAKE pin of TLE9252V is grounded through D1, R3, and R2 to implement automatic wake-up function based on CAN bus activity.

[0051] Stability and filtering:

[0052] TLE4478D has external capacitors C1 to C5 on the Q1 and Q2 pins, which are 100nF, 1uF, 100nF, 1uF, and 1uF respectively, for decoupling and filtering noise to ensure power supply stability and signal quality.

[0053] C5 is located next to the microcontroller VIO pin, providing a stable reference voltage and enhancing the system's anti-interference ability.

[0054] Operation process

[0055] Standby mode: When the system is not active, the power switch is closed, the EN pin remains low, and the system is in a low power state.

[0056] Wake-up trigger: An external event (such as a BMS request or user operation) causes the power switch to be disconnected, the EN pin is pulled high, the power switch is enabled, and the system is powered on.

[0057] Data acquisition and processing: The microcontroller communicates with the BMS through the CAN bus transceiver to monitor the battery status in real time and perform necessary management tasks.

[0058] Collection and control: Based on the collected data, the microcontroller makes decisions and sends control instructions through the CAN bus to adjust the charging strategy or report the status to the dashboard, etc.

[0059] System sleep: Under no operation or preset conditions, the microcontroller can send a command to control the power switch to re-close and enter standby mode to save energy.

[0060] This embodiment demonstrates how to realize efficient wake-up and data retrieval functions in the automotive BMS through precisely designed hardware circuits and reasonable software control logic, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
