[0028] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the first embodiment of the power supply circuit of the power management module provided by the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, the circuit includes: a power battery 100, a DCDC module 200, a first switch K1, a storage battery 300 and a power distribution module 400;

[0029] The DCDC module 200 is connected to the power battery 100 and is used to convert the first supply voltage output by the power battery 100 into a second supply voltage;

[0030] The two ends of the first switch K1 are connected to the DCDC module 200 and the battery 300 respectively, and are used to disconnect the DCDC module 200 and the battery 300 when the voltage across the two ends of the first switch K1 exceeds a preset voltage threshold;

[0031] The power distribution module 400 is respectively connected to the DCDC module 200, the battery 300, the front drive load 510, the brake load 520, the steering load 530, and the rear drive load 540, and is used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the front drive load 510, the brake load 520, and the steering load 530, and is also used to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the rear drive load 540;

[0032] Alternatively, the power distribution module 400 is used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the rear drive load 540 , and is also used to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the front drive load 510 , the braking load 520 and the steering load 530 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the first power supply voltage output by the power battery 100 is converted into a second power supply voltage by the DCDC module 200. The DCDC module 200 is also used to provide the second power supply voltage to the battery 300 to charge the battery 300. The battery 300 is used to output a third power supply voltage. The second power supply voltage received is provided to the front drive load 510, the brake load 520 and the steering load 530 in the power distribution module 400, and the power distribution module 400 provides the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the rear drive load 540. Alternatively, the second power supply voltage received is provided to the rear drive load 540 in the power distribution module 400, and the battery 300 is output. The third power supply voltage outputted from the DCDC module 200 is provided to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530, so as to prevent the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530, and the rear drive load 540 from failing simultaneously when the DCDC module 200 fails or the battery 300 fails. For example, when the battery 300 fails, only the third power supply voltage provided to the rear drive load 540 loses power, while the second power supply voltage outputted from the DCDC module 200 is normal, and the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530 are not powered off. Therefore, the vehicle does not completely lose its braking capability, and the vehicle can be braked by controlling the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530. When the DCDC module 200 fails, the second power supply voltage provided by the DCDC module 200 to the front-wheel drive load 510, the brake load 520, and the steering load 530 is powered off. The rear-wheel drive load 540 is powered by the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300. The user controls the rear-wheel drive load 540 to achieve slow braking of the vehicle, preventing the complete loss of braking ability. When the voltage across the first switch K1 exceeds a preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the battery 300 or the DCDC module 200 has failed. By providing a first switch K1 between the DCDC module 200 and the battery 300, when the voltage across the first switch K1 exceeds a preset voltage threshold, the connection between the battery 300 and the DCDC module 200 is controlled to be disconnected, preventing the faulty one from interfering with the other, further improving the reliability of the power supply circuit. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the front-wheel drive load 510, the brake load 520, the steering load 530, and the rear-wheel drive load 540 are low-voltage loads, such as a front-wheel drive controller, a brake controller, a steering controller, and a rear-wheel drive controller.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present application, when the power distribution module 400 is used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the front drive load 510, the brake load 520 and the steering load 530, and is also used to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the rear drive load, the power distribution module 400 is further used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the rear drive load 540;

[0035] The power distribution module 400 is further configured to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the front drive load 510 , the braking load 520 , and the steering load 530 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the power distribution module 400 is further configured to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the rear-drive load 540. When the third power supply voltage provided by the battery 300 fails, the second power supply voltage provided by the DCDC module 200 can be used to power the rear-drive load 540. The power distribution module 400 is further configured to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the front-drive load 510, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530. When the second power supply voltage provided by the DCDC module 200 fails, the third power supply voltage provided by the battery 300 can be used to power the front-drive load 510, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530. This prevents the front-drive load 510, the rear-drive load 540, the braking load 520, and the steering load 530 from losing their braking capabilities simultaneously, thereby further improving the reliability of the power supply circuit.

Figure 4As shown, the power distribution module 400 includes: a first power distribution unit 410 and a second power distribution unit 420;

[0048] Two ends of the first power distribution unit 410 are respectively connected to the DCDC module 200, the front drive load 510, the brake load 520, the steering load 530, and the rear drive load 540, for providing the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the front drive load 510, the brake load 520, the steering load 530, and the rear drive load 540;

[0049] The two ends of the second power distribution unit 420 are respectively connected to the battery 300, the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540, and are used to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 is provided to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540 through the first power distribution unit 410, and the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 is provided to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540 through the second power distribution unit 420; when the DCDC module 200 fails, the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540 can be powered by the third power supply voltage provided by the battery 300; when the battery 300 fails, the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540 can be powered by the second power supply voltage provided by the DCDC module 200, thereby preventing the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540 from failing at the same time, thereby improving the reliability of the power supply circuit.

[0051] Figure 5 A structural diagram of a fifth embodiment of a power supply circuit of a power management module provided by the present application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the power distribution module 400 includes: a first power distribution unit 410, a second power distribution unit 420 and an isolation module 600 connected;

[0052] The first power distribution unit 410 is connected to the first end of the DCDC module 200 and the first end of the isolation module 600, respectively, and is used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 to the isolation module 600;

[0053] The second power distribution unit 420 is connected to the second end of the battery 300 and the isolation module 600 respectively, and is used to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the isolation module 600;

[0054] The third end of the isolation module 600 is respectively connected to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540, and is used to provide the second power supply voltage output by the first power distribution unit 410 and the third power supply voltage provided by the second power distribution unit 420 to the front drive load 510, the braking load 520, the steering load 530 and the rear drive load 540.

For example, in the first isolation unit 610, when a short-circuit current is generated due to a fault in the power supply circuit of the battery 300, the first diode D1 is provided and conducts unidirectionally, thereby preventing the short-circuit current outputted by the second diode D2 from flowing into the first diode D1, thereby preventing the short-circuit current from flowing into the power supply circuit of the DCDC module 200, thereby isolating the short-circuit current and protecting the power supply circuit of the DCDC module 200. When a short-circuit current is generated due to a fault in the power supply circuit of the DCDC module 200, the second diode D2 is provided and conducts unidirectionally, thereby preventing the short-circuit current outputted by the first diode D1 from flowing into the second diode D2, thereby isolating the short-circuit current and protecting the power supply circuit of the battery 300. It should be noted that the operating principles of the second isolation unit 620, the third isolation unit 630, and the fourth isolation unit 640 are similar and will not be further described here.

[0065] Figure 7 A seventh embodiment of the power supply circuit of a power management module provided by the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the DCDC module 200 includes: a MOS tube Q1, a PWM controller, a third diode D3, an inductor L1, a capacitor C1 and a resistor R1;

[0066] The first end of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the positive electrode of the power battery 100, the second end of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the PWM controller, and the third end of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the cathode of the third diode D3 and the first end of the inductor L1, respectively, and is configured to be turned on or off according to a control signal issued by the PWM controller;

[0067] The anode of the third diode D3 is connected to the cathode of the power battery 100;

[0068] The second end of the inductor L1 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C1 and the first end of the resistor R1 respectively;

[0069] The second end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the second end of the resistor R1 and the cathode of the third diode D3 respectively.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present application, when the PWM controller controls the MOS transistor Q1 to be turned on, the conduction voltage drop of the MOS transistor Q1 is ignored. At this time, the voltage across the inductor L1 remains unchanged at Vin-Vo. According to the basic equation of the inductor L1: V(t)=L*dl(t) / dt; where Vin is the voltage output by the power battery 100, that is, the first supply voltage; Vo is the voltage output by the DCDC module 200, that is, the second supply voltage.

[0071] The current of the inductor L1 will increase linearly. At this time, the forward volt-second of the inductor L1 is: V*Ton=(Vin-Vo)*Ton.

[0072] When the PWM drive MOS transistor Q1 is turned off, the current in the inductor L1 forms a loop through the third diode D3 (ignoring the diode voltage drop) and the current in the inductor L1 does not change suddenly. Similarly, the voltage across the inductor L1 remains unchanged at Vo, in the opposite direction of (Vin-Vo). The current in the inductor L1 decreases linearly. At this time, the reverse volt-second of the inductor L1 is: V*Toff=Vo*(Ts-Ton), where Ts is the PWM waveform period.

[0073] According to the voltage volt-second balance law of inductor L1, we can get: (Vin-Vo)*Ton=Vo*(Ts-Ton)

[0074] That is, Vo = D*Vin (D is the duty cycle)

[0075] This achieves conversion of the first supply voltage into the second supply voltage.

[0076] In another embodiment of the present application, the power distribution module is further configured to provide the third power supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the vehicle controller and / or the battery management module.

[0077] In this embodiment, the power distribution module is further configured to provide the third supply voltage output by the battery 300 to the vehicle controller and / or battery management module, enabling the vehicle controller and battery management module to be powered on and operate. It should be noted that the second supply voltage output by the DCDC module 200 may also be provided to the vehicle controller and / or battery management module via the power distribution module.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present application, a car is provided, comprising the above-mentioned power supply circuit to provide a second power supply voltage or a third power supply voltage to a low-voltage load of the car.
