[0025] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

At the present stage of rapid development of new energy technology, the more extensive development and utilization of solar energy and other clean energy can effectively alleviate the huge pressure of energy crisis.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A protection board supporting photovoltaic charging, comprising: a solar photovoltaic module 100, an asynchronous boost charging control circuit 110 and a lithium battery protection circuit, the output end of the solar photovoltaic module is electrically connected with the asynchronous boost charging control circuit, the output end of the asynchronous boost charging control circuit is electrically connected with the lithium battery protection circuit, and the lithium battery protection circuit is used for being electrically connected with the cell group and the load device respectively.

[0028] It should be noted that the solar photovoltaic module is used for converting solar energy into electric energy; the asynchronous boost charging control circuit is used for raising and stabilizing the fluctuating voltage generated by the photovoltaic module with light intensity change to a set fixed voltage value during the charging process, and charging the cell group; and the lithium battery protection circuit is used for protecting the normal work of the cell group.

It should be noted that the inductor L1 is used to realize the function of rectification, and the voltage stabilizing diode D4 is used to stabilize the voltage input to the boost control chip U3. In this way, the asynchronous boost charging control circuit adopts the trickle, constant current and constant voltage charging mode to complete a charging cycle in one complete period. The circuit has perfect lithium battery charging protection function. When the input overvoltage, output overvoltage and over-temperature state occur, the boost charging state will be immediately closed. When the cell voltage is lower than the set value, the output undervoltage protection function is turned on.

[0033] Further, the charge-discharge MOSFET module includes a discharge MOS tube QD1 and a charge MOS tube QC1. The input end of the discharge MOS tube QD1 is electrically connected to the output end of the anti-surge protection circuit module. The output end of the discharge MOS tube QD1 is connected in series with the charge MOS tube QC1, and then used for electrical connection with the battery cell group.

[0034] The control ends of the discharge MOS tube QD1 and the charge MOS tube QC1 are electrically connected to the protection control chip U1.

[0035] Further, the current detection circuit module includes a detection resistor RS1, a resistor R12, and a resistor R13. The detection resistor RS1 is connected in series at the total negative end of the battery cell group. The two ends of the detection resistor RS1 are electrically connected to one end of the resistor R12 and the resistor R13, respectively. The other ends of the resistor R12 and the resistor R13 are electrically connected to the protection control chip U1. In this way, by setting the detection resistor RS1, the resistor R12, and the resistor R13, the voltage drop across the current detection resistor RS1 can be collected by the integrated circuit U1, and the working current value on the main circuit can be obtained through logical operation.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 The temperature detection module is an NTC temperature sensor. The NTC temperature sensor is arranged close to the battery cell group, and the NTC temperature sensor is electrically connected to the protection control chip U1. In this way, by setting the NTC temperature sensor, the voltage drop across the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 can be collected by the integrated circuit U1, and the temperature value on the battery cell can be obtained through logical operation.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2The communication module comprises a resistor R15, a resistor R17, a voltage stabilizing diode D2 and a voltage stabilizing diode D3, one end of the resistor R15 is electrically connected with the protection control chip U1 after voltage stabilization of the voltage stabilizing diode D3, the other end of the resistor R15 is electrically connected with an external active MCU, one end of the resistor R17 is electrically connected with the protection control chip U1 after voltage stabilization of the voltage stabilizing diode D2, and the other end of the resistor R17 is electrically connected with the external master MCU.

[0038] It should be further explained that the lithium battery protection circuit further comprises a battery cell secondary protection circuit module 300 connected in series between the charge-discharge MOSFET module and the battery cell group.

[0039] The battery cell secondary protection circuit module comprises an integrated circuit U2, a MOS tube Q2 and a fuse F1, the control end of the MOS tube Q2 is electrically connected with the integrated circuit U2, the D pole of the MOS tube Q2 is electrically connected with the control end of the fuse F1, the integrated circuit U2 is further electrically connected with the battery cell group, and the fuse F1 is connected in series between the charge-discharge MOSFET module and the battery cell group. In this way, when the battery cell is secondarily overcharged and lasts for more than a few seconds, the secondary protection integrated circuit U2 will send a control signal to turn on the MOSFET of Q2, and the three-terminal fuse F1 will be permanently fused, thereby disconnecting the main loop and playing a protection role. The utility model also has a secondary overcharge protection function, that is, by arranging the battery cell secondary protection circuit module, it is applicable to the monitoring and protection of multi-string and high-precision battery groups of rechargeable lithium ion, lithium polymer and lithium iron phosphate battery cells, and the safety performance is improved.
