[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the embodiments provided by the present utility model:

[0027] A charging pile with a battery connection group detection module, including a charging pile, the charging pile includes a power supply module for charging a lithium battery pack and a battery connection group detection module. The power supply module mainly includes a transformer, a filter rectifier, a controller and a relay. After the mains voltage is stepped down by the transformer, the AC voltage drops to the rated AC voltage for charging the battery pack. After the rated AC voltage is filtered and rectified by the filter rectifier, the output is the rated DC voltage to be able to charge the lithium battery pack. The charging and power-off of the lithium battery pack are controlled by controlling the on-off of the coil of the relay through the controller, so as to provide a charging function for the lithium battery.

[0028] The battery connection group detection module includes a single-chip microcomputer module and a detection unit. The single-chip microcomputer module uses a single-chip microcomputer of the ESP32 model. The first control signal terminal of the single-chip microcomputer module is electrically connected to the signal receiving terminal of the power supply module. The signal receiving terminal of the single-chip microcomputer module is electrically connected to the detection unit. The detection unit includes a current sensor and a voltage sensor. It mainly detects the magnitude of the current and voltage transmitted by the charging line through the current sensor and the voltage sensor, and then feeds back to the single-chip microcomputer to judge whether there is a short circuit or disconnection in the series connection between the lithium battery modules in the lithium battery pack. By comparing the preset normal charging voltage and current magnitude of the lithium battery pack in the single-chip microcomputer with the fed-back voltage and current magnitude, if the total voltage is too low / high compared with the set rated voltage, or the current is too large or too small compared with the rated current, a control electrical signal is sent by the single-chip microcomputer to the controller in the power supply module, and the controller is driven to disconnect the relay to provide protection for the lithium battery and the charging pile;

[0029] The input end of the power supply module is electrically connected to the mains. The output end of the power supply module is connected in series with the current sensor and then supplies power to the battery pack through the charging line and the charging interface. Specifically, the current sensor includes a Hall effect current sensor U1, capacitors C1, C2, a sliding rheostat RV1, an operational amplifier U2, a resistor R1, and a light-emitting diode D1. The IP+ terminal and IP- terminal of the Hall effect current sensor U1 are connected in series on the line from the output end of the power supply module to the charging line. The VCC terminal of the Hall effect current sensor U1 is connected to the +5V power supply and one end of the capacitor C2. The VIOUT terminal of the Hall effect current sensor U1 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U2. The VIOUT terminal of the Hall effect current sensor U1 is also electrically connected to the signal receiving terminal of the single-chip microcomputer module. The FIL TER terminal of the Hall effect current sensor U1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1. The other end of the capacitor C1, the other end of the capacitor C2, and the GND of the Hall effect current sensor U1 are all grounded. The two ends of the sliding rheostat RV1 are respectively connected to the +5V power supply and the ground terminal. The adjustment terminal of the sliding rheostat RV1 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U2. The output terminal of the operational amplifier U2 is connected to one end of the resistor R1. The other end of the resistor R1 is connected to one end of the light-emitting diode D1. The other end of the light-emitting diode D1 is grounded.

[0030] Among them, the Hall effect current sensor U1 uses the ACS712 model. The Hall effect current sensor U1 is used to detect the magnitude of the current on the charging cable, convert the current into a voltage signal proportional to the current. After the voltage signal is compared with the rated voltage set inside the single-chip microcomputer, it is used to determine whether the current is too large or too low compared to the rated current. The Hall effect current sensor U1 amplifies the output signal through the operational amplifier U2, enabling the light-emitting diode D1 to emit light to indicate the presence of current. The amplitude of the output signal is set by adjusting the resistance value of the sliding rheostat RV1. The capacitor C1 is used for filtering to remove high-frequency noise and ensure the stability of the signal. The capacitor C2 is used for power supply decoupling to reduce the impact of power supply noise on the circuit.

[0031] The input end of the voltage sensor is electrically connected to the output end of the voltage dividing circuit. The input end of the voltage dividing circuit is connected in parallel to the positive and negative terminal posts of the battery pack through the charging cable. The function of the voltage dividing circuit is to prevent the voltage sensor from being damaged due to overloading caused by excessive voltage. The voltage sensor includes a voltage monitoring IC chip U29. The voltage monitoring IC chip U29 uses the INA226 model. The VIN+ terminal and VIN- terminal of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 are connected in parallel with the capacitor C101. The VIN+ terminal and VIN- terminal of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 are electrically connected to the output end of the voltage dividing circuit. The VS of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 is connected to a 3.3V power supply. The SDA terminal of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 is connected to one end of the resistor R11. The SCL terminal of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 is connected to one end of the resistor R10. The SDA terminal and SCL terminal of the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 are respectively electrically connected to the signal receiving end of the single-chip microcomputer module. The other ends of the resistor R10 and resistor R11 are commonly connected to a 3.3V power supply.

[0032] Among them, the voltage monitoring IC chip U29 converts the analog signal into a digital signal through the built-in analog-to-digital converter ADC. The voltage monitoring IC chip U29 measures the voltage magnitude of the lithium battery pack after voltage division through the VIN+ terminal and VIN- terminal. The capacitor C101 is used for filtering and decoupling to ensure power supply stability and reduce the impact of noise on the measurement. The voltage monitoring IC chip U29 provides a digital signal of the voltage magnitude for the single-chip microcomputer module through the SDA terminal and SCL terminal, and the single-chip microcomputer module compares and processes the total voltage magnitude of the lithium battery pack with the preset rated voltage.

[0033] Furthermore, the second control signal terminal of the single-chip microcomputer module is electrically connected to the alarm module. Through the buzzer or light-emitting diode of the alarm module, it can alarm when the single-chip microcomputer module detects that the voltage and current of the lithium battery pack do not meet the preset charging voltage and current, so as to remind users and staff.

[0034] Further, the signal output end of the single-chip microcomputer module is electrically connected to the display module through the digital-to-analog conversion module, and the voltage and current of the lithium battery pack can be intuitively displayed through the display screen of the display module, so as to intuitively judge whether each battery module in the lithium battery pack is in series.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
