[0026] Specifically, each of the BMS modules includes a main control module, and the main control module includes a main controller U21. The main controller U21 is communicatively connected to the battery management system of the BMS module, and the main control module is communicatively connected to the CAN communication group.

[0027] Specifically, the IN communication interface includes a diode D21, and the two ends of the diode D21 are also connected in parallel with a capacitor C32 and a resistor R88, one end of the parallel circuit is connected in series with a resistor R87, and the other end is grounded.

The KEY IN signal is simultaneously transmitted to pin 42 of the main controller U21. Each BMS module is provided with an IN communication interface. If the BMS module is the first BMS module, the power on / off signal is KEY1. If the BMS module is an intermediate module, the signal output by the previous BMS module is the KEYOUT signal.

When the input KEY-OUT signal is high, the transistor Q13 is turned on, and then the transistor Q14 is turned on, and a high-level KEYO signal is output.

[0029] Specifically, the CAN communication group includes an isolator U24 and a communicator U28. Ports 2 and 3 of the isolator U24 are connected to ports 33 and 32 of the main controller U21 through resistors R89 and R90, respectively.

The No. 39 pin of the main controller U21 is connected in series with a resistor R81 and then connected to the base of a transistor Q15. The collector of the transistor Q15 is connected in series with a fuse F3, and the emitter is grounded. The other end of the fuse F3 is connected to a DC12V signal. When the main control module is working, a high-level LCD signal is output, the transistor Q15 is turned on, the DC12V signal is grounded, and the DC12V signal is connected to the LCD display circuit. When the DC12V signal is grounded, the LCD display works.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The KEY signal is the on / off signal output by the wake-up switch, which is input to the IN communication interface of the first BMS module. At this time, the first BMS module is activated, and its battery management system and main control module work. The main control module works by receiving data through the CAN communication group. If the CAN_IN signal is not received within the T0 time, its own ID is modified to 1, and then data is sent through the CAN communication group at the interval of T1, and the main controller U21 outputs the KEY-OUT signal and sets it to a high level, so that the KEYO signal outputs a high level and enters the IN communication interface of the second BMS module, activating the second BMS module. The main control module corresponding to the second BMS module receives the CAN_IN signal on the bus through the CAN communication group within T0, and after receiving the existing ID (i.e. 1), it sends data through the CAN communication group after the ID+1 and sets the KEY-OUT signal to a high level signal, and so on to complete the overall BMS module ID configuration, and finally the maximum ID number stays at the maximum number of the current parallel machine. The overall circuit is simple and easy to implement.
