Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to high pressure loop interlock detection circuit technical field, specifically a constant current source high pressure loop interlock detection circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] High Voltage Inter-lock, abbreviated as HVIL, is high voltage interlock or high voltage interlock loop, which uses low voltage signal to monitor the continuity of all high voltage loops (battery system, motor controller, connector, DC / DC, high voltage box, etc.) connected to the high voltage bus on the electric vehicle. High voltage interlock is a safety design measure function of hybrid and pure electric vehicles, which aims to protect personnel at any stage of the life cycle of electric vehicles (during vehicle assembly, repair, maintenance and operation).

[0003] When the high voltage interlock loop is connected or disconnected, the controller receiving end receives the feedback signal, and the on-off of the high voltage loop is controlled by the feedback signal. The high voltage loop must ensure that the entire high voltage loop is electrically connected before the vehicle can be powered by high voltage, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle; if the integrity of the vehicle high voltage system is accidentally damaged, the entire high voltage loop is disconnected and discharged; to avoid the occurrence of electric leakage or fire accidents.

[0004] The existing market mainstream scheme mainly includes two categories, the first category is a direct current source scheme, and the second category is a PWM scheme.

[0005] The direct current source scheme outputs direct current at one end of the controller, forms a loop at the other end, detects the voltage at the output and input points, then compares the collected voltage value with the corresponding threshold value under different interface states (normal, short ground, short power supply, open circuit), and determines the current state of the high voltage loop interlock loop. This scheme has high cost and is highly dependent on integrated chips, and once a chip shortage occurs, it will be difficult to continue.

[0006] The PWM scheme is that the controller sends out a PWM wave, which passes through multiple high voltage interlock connectors and finally returns to the controller, and the integrity of the high voltage loop interlock loop is determined according to the duty cycle of the received PWM wave. This scheme cannot detect the case where the impedance in the high voltage loop interlock loop becomes large due to oxidation of the plug-in metal pins (generally, the industry currently uses a loop impedance of 200Ω or less to consider it normal), which has a safety hazard.
