Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a charging control circuit, in particular to a charging control circuit for a recreational vehicle based on speed sensing. Background Art
[0002] RVs contain driving batteries and living batteries. The living battery charging process of traditional RVs is as follows: after the RV is started, the RV generator sends a signal that the RV has started. At this time, the driving charger starts, and according to the set generator voltage, the living battery is charged after starting. However, due to different RV configurations, the starting signal interface models are also diverse. To be compatible with different models of RVs and their generators, a more complex design is required. In addition, regarding the setting of the generator voltage for driving charging, the driving charger is generally set according to the voltage of the RV starting battery. After the RV is started, the living battery cannot be charged if the driving battery is not fully charged. This will cause the driving battery charging current to be the full current output by the generator. When the vehicle speed is high, due to the large power output, it is easy to cause damage to the driving battery. Under long-term charging conditions, it will directly affect the battery life.

[0027] The main control unit 6 is used to send a switching instruction to the input switching circuit 3, control the charging power of the two DC / DC buck-boost circuits 4, and obtain the position and speed signal of the RV from the GPS module 5. The main control unit 6 is also used to control the two DC / DC buck-boost circuits 4 to charge the driving battery and the life battery at the same time when the RV speed is higher than the preset value, and control one DC / DC buck-boost circuit 4 to charge the driving battery when the RV speed is lower than the preset value.
[0028] In the above circuit, the main control unit 6 reads the position and speed signals collected by the GPS module 5. The main control unit 6 compares the position and speed signals with the set speed value and starts charging the life battery in advance according to the driving speed.
