In severe cases, it may cause damage to the electric vehicle circuit or lead to accidents such as battery thermal runaway. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a DC input charging pile with current backup protection function. The DC input rated voltage is 750V. The main power circuit consists of an input circuit breaker, an input DC contactor, a DC / DC converter module, a fuse, an output DC contactor, a shunt, and a charging gun. The control circuit consists of a main control board, a backup protection board, an electric energy meter, a display, a 4G module, a card reader, a current and voltage sampling circuit, etc. The DC input rated voltage of 750V supplies power to the input circuit breaker. The positive and negative DC power output by the input circuit breaker flows through the input DC contactor respectively and is connected to the positive and negative poles of the DC / DC converter module. The positive pole output of the DC / DC converter module passes through the fuse and the output DC contactor and is connected to the positive pole of the charging gun. The negative pole output of the DC / DC converter module passes through the output DC contactor and the shunt and is connected to the negative pole of the charging gun. The main control board is connected to the card reader, 4G module and display screen respectively, and the main control board is also connected to the positive input DC contactor, DC / DC converter module, and the positive output DC contactor respectively to send corresponding control signals. The main control board also collects the output voltage of the DC / DC converter module through the output voltage sampling circuit; the backup protection board collects the input current of the input circuit breaker through the input current sampling circuit, and the backup protection board is connected to an electric operating mechanism, which is used to remotely open and close the input circuit breaker; the electric energy meter collects the output voltage of the output DC contactor of the output current of the shunt through the output current sampling circuit and the output voltage sampling circuit respectively.
[0024] The DC / DC converter module includes a high-voltage side full-bridge inverter circuit, a transformer T, a low-voltage side full-bridge rectifier circuit and a control module. The high-voltage side full-bridge inverter circuit uses an NPN transistor with four parallel diodes, and the low-voltage side full-bridge rectifier circuit is composed of four diodes. Filter capacitors are provided on both the high-voltage and low-voltage sides of the DC / DC converter module.
[0025] The backup protection board uses an FPGA chip and a 3.3V power supply. The input current sampling circuit includes an AD sampling chip and a Hall current sensor. The electric operating mechanism includes a MOS drive circuit and a 24V power supply. The input current terminals are respectively drawn from the input ends of the two input DC contactors. The two input current terminals are respectively connected to the Hall current sensors and then connected to the AD sampling chip. The AD sampling chip is connected to the FPGA and sends the sampled input current to the backup protection board. The input end of the MOS tube drive circuit is connected to the FPGA, and the output end of the MOS tube drive circuit is connected to the input circuit breaker. The backup protection board controls the action of the MOS tube drive circuit after judging the sampled current, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the input circuit breaker.
[0026] The Hall current sensor used for current backup protection is CSM500LTB, which is a closed-loop sensor with a linearity of up to 0.1% and a response time of less than 1us.
[0027] The actuator for current backup protection consists of an electric operating mechanism and an input circuit breaker. The input circuit breaker adopts the GM5-630M model DC circuit breaker with a maximum breaking capacity of up to 65kA and a rated impulse voltage of up to 8kV. The electric operating mechanism adopts the CD2-630 model, which can realize remote control opening and closing functions.
[0028] The main chip of the backup protection board uses an FPGA programmable logic controller, model GW1N-1. The device has 1152 logic units and 96kbit user flash memory, and has the advantages of high speed, low cost and small size.
[0029] The AD chip of the backup protection board adopts ZJC2102-14, which has 14-bit accuracy, 600kSPS, and 8-channel sampling, and has high speed and high precision.
[0030] The DC / DC converter module used in the DC input charging pile has a rated input of 750V DC. The module has constant power control and relatively complete protection functions: input over / under voltage protection, output overvoltage protection, over-temperature protection, internal bus fault protection, and output short circuit protection. The circuit topology diagram is shown in Figure 2 .
[0031] The DC / DC converter module adopts an isolated circuit with an input voltage of 750V DC bus. The DSP chip in the control module outputs four PWM1, PWM2, PWM3, and PWM4 pulse signals to the power tubes V1, V2, V3, and V4. The primary and secondary windings of the high-frequency transformer T have magnetic circuit induction functions. The high-frequency pulse electricity of the primary winding will induce a high-frequency voltage in the secondary winding. This voltage passes through the rectifier current composed of fast recovery diodes VD1, VD2, VD3, and VD4, inductor L1, and filter capacitor C2 to output DC voltage U0, thereby charging the DC electric vehicle.
[0032] When the DSP chip of the DC / DC converter module detects a fault in the system such as input overvoltage / undervoltage, output overvoltage, overtemperature, internal bus fault short circuit, output short circuit, etc., it blocks the drive signals PWM1~PWM4 of the power tubes V1~V4, stops the DC output, and achieves the purpose of protecting the charging pile.
[0033] When the DSP system of the DC / DC converter module fails, the short-circuit fault protection will fail. At this time, the current backup protection control board circuit will provide backup protection for the system when a fault occurs, reducing the probability of accidents.
[0034] like Figure 3 Figure 2 shows the backup protection board schematic. The FPGA samples the input current and, through a comparison logic circuit, determines that when the input current exceeds twice the rated input current, the backup protection board immediately outputs a disconnect signal to the electric operating mechanism, which triggers the input circuit breaker to cut off the input power.
[0035] like Figure 4 Figure 2 shows the backup protection logic diagram. When the positive current |I+| exceeds the preset value, the MOS transistor conducts. When the positive current |I+| is less than the preset value and the negative current |I-| is greater than the preset value, the MOS transistor conducts.
[0036] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] 1) During normal operation, after the charging gun is connected to the electric vehicle, the main control board receives the charging instruction of swiping the card or scanning the code, and immediately closes the input circuit breaker and the input DC contactor. 750V DC power is input to the DC / DC converter module. The main control board prepares for communication handshake with the electric vehicle before charging through the communication line in the charging gun, and performs a series of operations such as charging circuit insulation detection and electric vehicle BMS charging demand confirmation. After the charging ready conditions are met, the main control board controls the DC / DC converter module to output relevant DC current and DC voltage values for constant power charging. The energy meter can measure the amount of electricity charged by the electric vehicle, and the main control board can charge accordingly. The main control board confirms whether to end charging based on the electric vehicle BMS or the amount of electricity charged. Charging is terminated after the relevant conditions are met, and the charging pile user is prompted to remove the gun and return it to its position, waiting for the next charging.
[0038] 2) Charging Pile Backup Protection: This function circuit consists of an input current sampling circuit, a backup protection board, an electric operating mechanism, and an input circuit breaker. The backup protection board samples the input current via an FPGA and, through a comparison logic circuit, immediately outputs a disconnect signal to the electric operating mechanism when the input current exceeds twice the rated input current. The electric operating mechanism triggers the input circuit breaker to cut off the input power. This function can be used as backup protection in the event of a short circuit on the charging gun output side or a faulty short circuit caused by internal control failure of the charging pile's DC / DC converter module.
