Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the increasing voltage levels of energy storage battery systems, especially when the voltage exceeds 1000V, online monitoring of the system's grounding resistance becomes particularly important to ensure the system's electrical safety. Currently, the commonly used insulation resistance testing method relies on electromagnetic relays continuously switching the connection between the battery's positive and negative terminals and the ground, calculating the grounding resistance by measuring the voltage.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the negative electrode battery sampling unit includes a negative electrode sampling switch circuit and a negative electrode sampling resistor. The negative electrode sampling resistor consists of resistors R27-R30 and resistors R31-R36, which are connected to the negative terminal of the energy storage battery pack through the negative electrode sampling switch circuit. The negative electrode sampling switch circuit is used to control the number of negative electrode sampling resistors connected to the test circuit, and specifically includes a solid-state relay U4, resistors R24, R25, and R26, a capacitor C13, and a transistor Q3. The first terminal of the solid-state relay U4 is connected to resistor R26, the second terminal is connected to the collector of transistor Q3, the third terminal is connected to resistor R35, and the fourth terminal is connected to resistor R9; the base of transistor Q3 is connected to the controller through resistor R24, and is grounded through resistor R25 and capacitor C13 respectively, and the emitter of transistor Q3 is grounded.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the sampling signal processing unit includes a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. The first amplifier circuit is used for isolating and differentially amplifying the sampling signal, and includes an isolation amplifier U2, resistors R16, R17, and R18, capacitors C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6, inductors L1 and L3, diodes D1 and D2, and a Zener diode Z1. The specific connection method is as follows: The first terminal of the isolation amplifier U2 is grounded through capacitor C6, and connected to diode D1, resistor R16, capacitor C4, and the second terminal of the isolation amplifier through diode D2; the third terminal of the isolation amplifier U2 is connected to capacitor C5, resistor R17, and Zener diode Z1; the fourth and fifth terminals of the isolation amplifier U2 are grounded; the sixth terminal of the isolation amplifier U2 is connected to the first input terminal of operational amplifier U1 through resistor R37; the seventh terminal of the isolation amplifier U2 is connected to the second input terminal of operational amplifier U1 through resistor R20; the eighth terminal of the isolation amplifier U2 is connected to the power supply terminal through inductor L2, and grounded through capacitor C7, parallel capacitor C9, and capacitor C10.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the second amplifier circuit converts the differentially amplified analog signal into a digital signal for processing by the controller.

[0033] In practical applications, the controller selectively connects different numbers of sampling resistors by controlling the switching states of the positive and negative sampling switch circuits, thereby changing the resistance value of the sampling circuit. Specifically, when it is necessary to detect the insulation resistance of the battery's positive terminal, the controller sends an EARTH_H signal to close the solid-state relay U1, thus changing the sampling resistance value connected to the battery's positive terminal circuit. The system combines the voltage values before and after the change with the sampling resistance to calculate the current values under the two conditions, and then calculates the resistance value between the battery's positive terminal and ground according to Ohm's law. Similarly, when detecting the insulation resistance between the battery's negative terminal and ground, the controller sends an EARTH_L signal to close the solid-state relay U4 and performs a similar calculation process. Then, the controller obtains the voltage signal of the sampling circuit through the sampling signal processing unit. This signal is isolated and differentially output by the isolation amplifier U2, and then converted into a single-ended output by the operational amplifier U3 and sent to the controller's AD converter for calculating the voltage value, and finally obtaining the ground insulation resistance value. Because it uses a solid-state relay instead of an electromagnetic relay, the online grounding insulation resistance test circuit for energy storage battery packs of this invention has higher reliability and longer service life, making it suitable for applications involving high-frequency online testing or long-life products.
