Description

Technical Field

[0002] Battery protection circuits are used to ensure the safe use of batteries, extend battery life, and avoid damage or safety accidents caused by improper use. Existing battery protection circuits typically cut off the power to the charging circuit directly when performing overcharge, overcurrent, and over-discharge protection, lacking the function of actively balancing the cell voltage. Due to individual differences in batteries and temperature differences, the battery terminal voltage may become unbalanced, causing high-voltage batteries to reach the charging limit first, triggering overvoltage protection and cutting off the power directly. This results in the entire battery pack being unable to continue charging, while low-voltage batteries cannot be fully charged, affecting the driving range and battery life. In view of the above, this application proposes an active balancing battery protection circuit. Utility Model Content

[0018] Reference Figure 1-4An active equalization battery protection circuit includes a cell management chip, a central controller, a multi-select switch network circuit, a buck-boost circuit, a supercapacitor, a current acquisition circuit, and a charge / discharge switch transistor. The cell management chip is used to acquire cell voltage and detect the highest and lowest cell voltage. The central controller is connected to the cell management chip, the multi-select switch network circuit, the buck-boost circuit, the supercapacitor, the current acquisition circuit, and the charge / discharge switch transistor. The charge / discharge switch transistor and the multi-select switch network circuit are electrically connected to a load / charger, wherein the load in the load / charger is a battery.

Transistor Q2, diode D2, inductor L1, and capacitor C1 form a BOOST circuit, which is used to boost the voltage to charge the load / charger.

[0021] Working principle: During use, when charging the load / charger, the cell management chip collects the cell voltage, detects the highest and lowest cell voltages, and transfers the charge from the highest cell to the supercapacitor through a buck-boost circuit. Then, the charge from the supercapacitor is transferred to the lowest cell to achieve cell voltage balancing. At the same time, when the battery charges the supercapacitor, the BUCK circuit steps down the voltage to charge the supercapacitor, and when the supercapacitor charges the battery, the BOOST circuit steps up the voltage to charge the battery, achieving a bidirectional buck-boost effect. By balancing the cell voltage, the situation where low-voltage batteries cannot be fully charged, affecting the battery life and lifespan, can be effectively reduced.
