[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] The present embodiment relates to the field of power supply protection, and can be specifically applied to a scenario in which the cell voltage and module temperature of a battery module are sampled through an AFE chip. Figure 1 The sampling architecture of the cell voltage and module temperature of the battery module is shown as an example. Figure 1 As shown, the sampling architecture includes two battery modules. AFE chip Ua and AFE chip Ub collect the cell voltage and module temperature of battery module PACKA, and AFE chip Uc and AFE chip Ud collect the cell voltage and module temperature of battery module PACKB. The collected data will be transmitted to the main control chip Ue. Battery module PACKA and battery module PACKB can be connected in series through relay S2, and the two battery modules can be connected in parallel through relay S1 and relay S3.

[0035] When relay S2 is closed, battery module PACKA and battery module PACKB are connected in series. The voltage across relay S2 will increase from about -200V to about 300V before and after closing. The voltage fluctuates violently by about 500V, which will cause the power supply circuit of the AFE chip to oscillate, making the AFE chip invalid for a certain period of time.

[0036] In practical applications, the power supply and sampling architecture of the AFE chip can be found in Figure 2 As shown, after the AFE chip U1 draws power from the battery module PACK, one path passes through the magnetic bead Qa for high-frequency filtering, and then passes through the diode D1, the third capacitor C3, and the RC filtering circuit composed of the second resistor R2 and the fourth capacitor C4 to supply power to the second power supply pin VPWER.

[0037] The other path passes through an RC filter circuit composed of a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1, and then passes through a transistor Qb and a second capacitor C2 to supply power to the first power supply pin LDO-IN.

[0038] The disadvantages of this power supply circuit are limited filtering capability and insufficient power supply stability. When the high voltage inside the battery module changes drastically during the vehicle power-on process, it is easy to cause oscillation in the two power supply pins VPWER and LDO-IN, resulting in unstable power supply for the AFE chip, resulting in loss of acquisition accuracy or packet loss, and failure to power on the high voltage normally.

[0039] In view of the above technical problems, this embodiment provides relevant solutions. Figures 3 to 5 The detailed scheme of the power supply protection circuit, sampling circuit and battery management system provided by the embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0040] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a power supply protection circuit provided in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the power supply protection circuit provided by the embodiment of the utility model is specifically arranged on the power supply loop connecting the battery module PACK and the AFE chip U1. The circuit specifically includes: an interference suppression subcircuit 110, a first filtering subcircuit 120 and a second filtering subcircuit 130.

[0042] The interference suppression subcircuit 110 is respectively connected to the battery module PACK, the first filtering subcircuit 120, the second filtering subcircuit 130 and the ground terminal GND1. The first filtering subcircuit 120 is connected to the first power supply pin LD0-IN of the AFE chip U1, and the second filtering subcircuit 130 is connected to the second power supply pin VPWER of the AFE chip U1.

[0043] The solution provided in this embodiment can filter and suppress the interference signal of the ground line through the interference suppression subcircuit 110, offset the differential mode interference, and cooperate with the first filtering subcircuit 120 and the second filtering subcircuit 130 to further filter out the clutter and noise interference in the power supply circuit connecting the battery module PACK and the AFE chip U1, thereby improving the anti-interference ability of the AFE sampling power supply part, and thus improving the stability of the AFE sampling power supply part.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The interference suppression sub-circuit 110 specifically includes: at least one common-mode inductor L1.

[0045] The first pin of the common-mode inductor L1 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery module PACK, the second pin of the common-mode inductor L1 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery module PACK, the third pin of the common-mode inductor L1 is respectively connected to the first filtering subcircuit 120 and the second filtering subcircuit 130, and the fourth pin of the common-mode inductor L1 is grounded.

[0046] In practical applications, one or more common-mode inductors may be provided. When multiple common-mode inductors are provided, the multiple common-mode inductors may be connected in series to achieve a better interference suppression function.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The first filtering sub-circuit 120 specifically includes: a first magnetic bead Q1 and a first decoupling module.

[0048] One end of the first magnetic bead Q1 is connected to the interference suppression sub-circuit 110 , and the other end of the first magnetic bead Q1 is connected to the first decoupling module, and the first decoupling module is connected to the first power supply pin LDO-IN of the AFE chip U1 .

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The first decoupling module specifically includes: a first decoupling capacitor C5 and a second decoupling capacitor C6.

[0050] The first decoupling capacitor C5 and the second decoupling capacitor C6 are connected in parallel to form a first parallel branch, one end of the first parallel branch is grounded GND1, and the other end of the first parallel branch is respectively connected to the first magnetic bead Q1 and the first power supply pin LDO-IN of the AFE chip U1.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The other end of the first parallel branch is specifically connected to the first power supply pin LDO-IN of the AFE chip U1 through the first peripheral sub-circuit.

[0052] The first peripheral sub-circuit includes: a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1, a transistor Qb and a second capacitor C2.

[0053] The other end of the first parallel branch is connected to the first resistor R1, the first resistor R1, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are all connected to the transistor Qb, and the transistor Qb and the second capacitor C2 are all connected to the first power supply pin LDO-IN of the AFE chip U1.

[0054] In this embodiment, for the power supply part of the LDO-IN pin, after the AFE chip U1 takes power from the battery module PACK, it passes through the common-mode inductor L1, the first magnetic bead Q1, the first decoupling capacitor C5, the second decoupling capacitor C6, the RC filter circuit composed of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1, the transistor Qb and the second capacitor C2 in sequence, and then supplies power to the first power supply pin LDO-IN.

[0055] Among them, the common-mode inductor L1 can effectively filter and suppress the interference signal of the ground line, offset the differential mode interference, and reduce the impact of interference on the power supply. Combined with the first magnetic bead Q1, the first decoupling capacitor C5 and the second decoupling capacitor C6, it can further filter out clutter and noise and enhance the filtering capability of the entire power supply circuit.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The second filtering sub-circuit 130 specifically includes: a second magnetic bead Q2 and a second decoupling module.

[0057] One end of the second magnetic bead Q2 is connected to the interference suppression sub-circuit 110 , and the other end of the second magnetic bead Q2 is connected to the second decoupling module, and the second decoupling module is connected to the second power supply pin VPWER of the AEF chip U1 .

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The second decoupling module specifically includes: a third decoupling capacitor C7 and a fourth decoupling capacitor C8.

[0059] The third decoupling capacitor C7 and the fourth decoupling capacitor C8 are connected in parallel to form a second parallel branch, one end of the second parallel branch is grounded, and the other end of the second parallel branch is respectively connected to the second magnetic bead Q2 and the second power supply pin VPWER of the AFE chip U1.

[0060] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The second filtering sub-circuit 130 is specifically connected to the interference suppression sub-circuit 110 and the second power supply pin VPWER of the AEF chip U1 through the second peripheral sub-circuit.

[0061] The second peripheral sub-circuit specifically includes: a diode D1, a third capacitor C3, a second resistor R2 and a fourth capacitor C4.

[0062] One end of the diode D1 and one end of the third capacitor C3 are respectively connected to the interference suppression sub-circuit 110 and the second magnetic bead Q2, the other end of the diode D1 and the other end of the third capacitor C3 are grounded, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second decoupling module, and the other end of the second resistor R2 and the fourth capacitor C4 are connected to the second power supply pin VPWER of the AEF chip U1.

[0063] In this embodiment, for the power supply part of the VPWER pin, after the AFE chip takes power from the battery module PACK, it passes through the common-mode inductor L1, the diode D1, the third capacitor C3, the second magnetic bead Q2, the third decoupling capacitor C7, the fourth decoupling capacitor C8 and the RC filter circuit composed of the second resistor R2 and the fourth capacitor C4 to supply power to the second power supply pin VPWER.

[0064] Among them, the common-mode inductor L1 can form an LC filtering circuit with the third capacitor C3, which can not only block the interference caused by high-frequency signals, but also block the interference caused by low-frequency signals. The filtering capability is effectively improved. In conjunction with the second magnetic bead Q2, the third decoupling capacitor C7 and the fourth decoupling capacitor C8, clutter and noise can be further filtered out.

[0065] It should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 3 The CTn-1 pin, CTn and CTn+1 in the AFE chip shown are all sampling pins, which can cooperate with the relevant devices on the corresponding branches to realize the sampling of the battery cell voltage. Since the battery cell voltage sampling process is a public scheme and does not fall within the protection scope of the present utility model, it is not described in detail here.

[0066] In summary, the optimized power supply protection circuit can effectively solve the problem of invalid cell voltage sampling when the power supply voltage fluctuates. The effectiveness of the improvement scheme provided in this embodiment is verified in combination with specific test data in actual applications.

[0067] Figure 4 Is adopted Figure 2 The AFE power supply circuit shown in the figure realizes the sampling process of the battery cell voltage, and after the relay S2 is closed, the sampling data statistics diagram of each battery cell voltage; Figure 5 Is adopted Figure 3 The figure shows a statistical diagram of sampling data of each cell voltage after the relay S2 is closed during the cell voltage sampling process after the power supply protection circuit is added.

[0068] Will Figure 4 The data shown are Figure 5 After comparing the data shown, it can be found that Figure 4 After the relay S2 is closed, there is a sampling invalid section M of more than 300ms in the voltage sampling link. Figure 5 After the relay S2 is repeatedly closed and opened, the voltage sampling link is effective. Based on this, it can be proved that the power supply protection circuit provided in this embodiment can effectively improve the power supply stability and anti-interference ability of the AFE chip.
