[0034] In an automotive high-voltage system, the interlock state of a high-voltage connector can be detected through a high-voltage interlock detection circuit. However, if the detection resistor itself in the relevant high-voltage interlock detection circuit fails, the high-voltage interlock detection of the corresponding high-voltage connector cannot be achieved. Specifically, after any one of the detection resistors is short-circuited, if the corresponding high-voltage connector is disconnected, it cannot be correctly detected; after any one of the detection resistors is open-circuited, if the corresponding high-voltage connector is disconnected, it is impossible to correctly locate which high-voltage connector is disconnected, resulting in a relatively low reliability of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit.

[0035] To solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a high-voltage interlock detection circuit and device.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the present application, the high-voltage interlock detection circuit may include:

[0037] At least two detection modules connected in series, each detection module includes at least two detection units connected in parallel, each detection unit includes at least two detection resistors connected in series, and the at least two detection modules are also connected in parallel with their respective corresponding high-voltage connectors;

[0038] A voltage acquisition module, connected to any one of the detection modules, for acquiring the terminal voltage of the detection module and outputting a voltage sampling signal;

[0039] A judgment module, connected to the voltage acquisition module, for receiving the voltage sampling signal and obtaining the high-voltage interlock state of each high-voltage connector and the fault state of each detection resistor according to the voltage sampling signal.

[0040] It should be noted that taking the automotive high-voltage system as an example, as Figure 1 shown, n is the number of high-voltage connectors in the automotive high-voltage system, the number of detection modules is the same as the number of high-voltage connectors, one detection module is connected in parallel with one high-voltage connector, j is the number of detection units in one detection module, and i is the number of detection resistors in one detection unit.

[0041] In some examples, asFigure 2 As shown, the detection module x corresponding to the high-voltage connector x may include detection resistors Rx to Rx+3. The detection resistors Rx and Rx+2 are connected in series as one detection unit, and the detection resistors Rx+1 and Rx+3 are connected in series as another detection unit. As Figure 3 As shown, the detection module x corresponding to the high-voltage connector x may include detection resistors Rx to Rx+5. The detection resistors Rx, Rx+2, and Rx+4 are sequentially connected in series as one detection unit, and the detection resistors Rx+1, Rx+3, and Rx+5 are sequentially connected in series as another detection unit. As Figure 4 As shown, the detection module x corresponding to the high-voltage connector x may include detection resistors Rx to Rx+5. The detection resistors Rx and Rx+3 are connected in series as the first detection unit, the detection resistors Rx+1 and Rx+4 are connected in series as the second detection unit, and the detection resistors Rx+2 and Rx+5 are connected in series as the third detection unit. Thus, in specific implementation, the number of detection units and detection resistors in each detection module is set according to actual usage requirements. Preferably, in order to control the cost of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit, as Figure 2 As shown, the detection module is provided with two detection units, and each detection unit is provided with two detection resistors.

[0042] It can be understood that the high-voltage interlock state may include a connected state and a disconnected state. When the high-voltage connector is in the connected state, both ends of the parallel detection modules will be short-circuited, and when the high-voltage connector is in the disconnected state, a voltage can be detected at both ends of the parallel detection modules. Therefore, by collecting the terminal voltage of the detection module through the voltage acquisition module, according to the change of the terminal voltage, the high-voltage interlock state of each high-voltage connector can be detected, and in the case of a fault in the detection resistor, the terminal voltage will also change. Therefore, the fault state of each detection resistor can also be determined according to the change of the terminal voltage. As Figure 1 As shown, the voltage acquisition points for collecting the terminal voltage may be set at the input or output ends of at least two detection modules, or at the common connection point Px of any two detection modules.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the voltage acquisition module acquires the voltage sampling signal, it can output the voltage sampling signal to the judgment module, so that the judgment module can compare the voltage value corresponding to the voltage sampling signal with multiple preset voltage values to detect the high-voltage interlock state of each high-voltage connector and the fault state of each detection resistor.

[0044] It can be understood that the judgment module may be a controller. The controller may include a logic controller and a microprogram controller. The logic circuit in the logic controller can be set according to multiple preset voltage values, and the microprogram controller can store multiple preset voltage values. Among them, when the positions of the voltage acquisition points are different, the multiple preset voltage values are also different. In specific implementation, the multiple preset voltage values can be determined according to the equivalent resistance values of each detection module.

[0045] In a feasible implementation, the equivalent resistance values of at least two detection modules are different from each other.

[0046] It should be noted that the equivalent resistance values of at least two detection modules may be the same. In this case, it is possible to determine whether a high-voltage connector is in an open state based on the voltage sampling signal, and determine how many high-voltage connectors are in an open state; or, the equivalent resistance values of at least two detection modules may be different from each other. In this case, when different high-voltage connectors are in an open state, the terminal voltages are all different. Therefore, it is also possible to locate the high-voltage connector in an open state based on the voltage sampling signal. Preferably, in this embodiment, the equivalent resistance values of at least two detection modules are set to be different from each other.

[0047] It can be understood that the resistance values of the detection resistors in one detection module may be the same, as long as it is ensured that the equivalent resistance values of at least two detection modules are different from each other. The resistance values of the detection resistors in one detection module may also be different. In this case, if a detection resistor fails, it is also possible to locate the faulty detection resistor based on the voltage sampling signal.

[0048] In a feasible implementation, the judgment module may be a microprogram controller.

[0049] It should be noted that in order to simplify the judgment module, in this embodiment, a microprogram controller is selected as the judgment module.

[0050] In a feasible implementation, the voltage acquisition module may include:

[0051] A pull-down resistor unit, connected to the output ends of at least two detection modules, for performing voltage division processing on the voltages of at least two detection modules;

[0052] A signal processing unit, connected to any one of the detection modules, for collecting the terminal voltage and outputting a voltage sampling signal.

[0053] In this embodiment, the voltage acquisition module further includes:

[0054] A signal source unit, connected to at least two detection modules, for outputting a power signal to at least two detection modules.

[0055] It should be noted that the signal source unit is connected to the input ends of at least two detection modules connected in series, and the pull-down resistor unit may be connected to the output ends of at least two detection modules connected in series. The power signal output by the signal source unit passes through at least two detection modules or at least two high-voltage connectors and is output to the pull-down resistor unit, so that there is a terminal voltage at the terminals of the detection modules. After the signal processing unit collects the terminal voltage, a voltage sampling signal is obtained. Among them, the signal processing unit may be a signal conditioning circuit.

[0056] In this embodiment, the power supply signal can be any one of a DC voltage signal, a square wave signal, a triangular wave signal, or an AC voltage signal.

[0057] It can be understood that the signal source unit can output any one of the power supply signals including a DC voltage signal, a square wave signal, a triangular wave signal, or an AC voltage signal. Specifically in use, the signal source unit can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0058] In a feasible implementation manner, the voltage acquisition module further includes:

[0059] A pull-up resistor unit, which is respectively connected to the signal source unit and the input ends of at least two detection modules, and is used for voltage division processing of the voltages at the input ends of the at least two detection modules.

[0060] It should be noted that to ensure the stability of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit, resistor units can be respectively arranged at the input ends of the at least two detection modules and at the output ends of the at least two detection modules, so as to ensure that stable voltages can exist at both the input ends and the output ends of the at least two detection modules.

[0061] In this embodiment, the signal processing unit can be connected to the common connection point of the pull-up resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, or to the common connection point of the pull-down resistor unit and the at least two detection modules.

[0062] It should be noted that the voltage acquisition point in this embodiment is set at the common connection point of the pull-up resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, or at the common connection point of the pull-down resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, that is, it is set at the input ends or the output ends of the at least two detection modules.

[0063] In the case where the sampling resistor unit includes a pull-up resistor unit and a pull-down resistor unit, when at least two high-voltage connectors are both in a connected state, the terminal voltage U is:

[0064] U = (Vs / (R 上拉电阻单元 + R 下拉电阻单元 )) × R 下拉电阻单元

[0065] Wherein, Vs is the voltage value of the power supply signal, R 上拉电阻单元 is the resistance value of the pull-up resistor unit, and R 下拉电阻单元 is the resistance value of the pull-up resistor unit.

[0066] When at least one of the at least two high-voltage connectors is in a disconnected state, if the signal processing unit is connected to the common connection point of the pull-up resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, then the terminal voltage U is:

[0067] U = (Vs / (R 上拉电阻单元 + R下拉电阻单元 +R 检测模块x )) × R 下拉电阻单元

[0068] Among them, R 检测模块x is the equivalent resistance value of the detection module corresponding to the high-voltage connector in the disconnected state;

[0069] When at least one of the at least two high-voltage connectors is in the disconnected state, if the signal processing unit is connected to the common connection point of the pull-down resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, the terminal voltage U is:

[0070] U = (Vs / (R 上拉电阻单元 +R 下拉电阻单元 +R 检测模块x )) × (R 检测模块x +R 下拉电阻单元 ).

[0071] When at least one of the at least two high-voltage connectors is in the disconnected state and there is a faulty detection resistor in the detection module, if the signal processing unit is connected to the common connection point of the pull-up resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, the terminal voltage is:

[0072] U' = (Vs / (R 上拉电阻单元 +R 下拉电阻单元 +R' 检测模块x )) × R 下拉电阻单元

[0073] Among them, R' 检测模块x is the equivalent resistance value when the detection module corresponding to the high-voltage connector in the disconnected state is faulty;

[0074] When at least one of the at least two high-voltage connectors is in the disconnected state and there is a faulty detection resistor in the detection module, if the signal processing unit is connected to the common connection point of the pull-down resistor unit and the at least two detection modules, the terminal voltage is:

[0075] U' = (Vs / (R 上拉电阻单元 +R 下拉电阻单元 +R' 检测模块x )) × (R' 检测模块x +R 下拉电阻单元 ).

[0076] Thus, since R' 检测模块x is different from R 检测模块x , U' is different from U. By comparing U' with multiple preset voltage values, the high-voltage connector in the disconnected state and the detection module with a faulty detection resistor can be located.

[0077] In this embodiment, the pull-up resistor unit and the pull-down resistor unit may each include at least two resistor circuits connected in parallel, and each resistor circuit includes at least two sampling resistors connected in series.

[0078] It should be noted that the circuit structures of the pull-up resistor unit and the pull-down resistor unit may be the same as that of the detection module.

[0079] In one example, as Figure 1 shown, when a detection module includes two detection units and each detection unit includes two detection resistors, the pull-up resistor unit may include sampling resistors R11 - R14, and the pull-down resistor unit may include sampling resistors R15 - R18.

[0080] The technical solution of this embodiment is to set at least two detection modules connected in series, and set at least two detection units in the detection modules connected in parallel to each high-voltage connector. At least two detection resistors are provided in each detection unit. When at least one detection resistor in the detection module corresponding to any high-voltage connector fails, since the other detection resistors in the detection module are working properly, the voltage acquisition module can still collect the terminal voltage of any detection module, so that the judgment module can judge the high-voltage interlock state of each high-voltage connector and the failure state of each detection resistor according to different terminal voltages, improving the reliability of the high-voltage interlock detection circuit.

[0081] This application also proposes a high-voltage interlock detection device, which includes:

[0082] The high-voltage interlock detection circuit as described above.

[0083] It should be noted that the specific structure of this high-voltage interlock detection circuit refers to the above embodiment. Since this high-voltage interlock detection device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0084] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of this application, and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of this application by using the content of the specification and drawings of this application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of this application.
