DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0023] The terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0024] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium, or the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In addition, when describing pipelines or channels, "connection" and "connection" used in the application have the meaning of conducting. The specific meaning needs to be understood in combination with the context.

[0025] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0026] The rapid development of automobiles has also brought significant challenges to their reliability and cost. In recent years, when a vehicle is turned off, it primarily sends a shutdown signal to the main control chip by turning the key counterclockwise to the "OFF" position. The main control chip receives the signal and outputs a shutdown signal to control other modules of the vehicle to complete the shutdown process.

[0027] However, when the main control chip is malfunctioning, it cannot output a shutdown signal, thus keeping the vehicle in the on state.

[0028] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The output of the level detection module is electrically connected to the main control chip, the output of the restart module is also electrically connected to the main control chip, and the output of the main control chip is electrically connected to other circuit modules (not shown in the figure).

[0029] The level detection module outputs a detection signal ACC-DET to the main control chip. The detection signal ACC-DET refers to the signal indicating whether the car is started or stopped. If the car is started, the detection signal ACC-DET is high; if the car is stopped, the detection signal ACC-DET is low. At the same time, the level detection module also transmits the detection signal ACC-DET to the main control chip. The main control chip controls other circuits to start or stop. The main control chip outputs a power-off signal SoC-Power upon receiving the detection signal ACC-DET.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 In the timing diagram, when the detection signal ACC-DET is low, the shutdown signal SoC-Power output by the main control chip is low, and the restart signal RESET output by the restart module is also high. At this time, the vehicle will not restart. The vehicle will only restart when the restart signal RESET is low. However, when the main control chip malfunctions, the shutdown signal SoC-Power output by the main control chip is high. This will cause the restart signal RESET output by the restart module to be low, thus causing the vehicle to keep restarting and making it impossible to detect vehicle faults.

[0031] Based on this, some embodiments of this application provide a shutdown abnormality protection circuit 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the shutdown abnormality protection circuit 100 includes: a voltage divider circuit 1 and a detection circuit 2.

[0032] The voltage dividing circuit 1 is configured to receive the first signal ACC-DET and the second signal SOC-Power, and generate and output a third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER according to the first signal ACC-DET and the second signal SOC-Power, the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER being at a first level; the input end of the detection circuit 2 is configured to receive the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER, and the detection circuit 2 is configured to output a fourth signal RESET according to the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER, and maintain the fourth signal RESET at the first level for a first set time length.

[0033] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , when the master control chip 5 is abnormal, the first level is high; the voltage dividing circuit 1 receives the first signal ACC-DET and the second signal SOC-Power, the first signal ACC-DET is converted from high to low, and the second signal SOC-Power remains high, so the level of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is converted from low to high.

[0034] When the detection circuit 2 detects that the level of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is converted from low to high, the fourth signal RESET is output, and the level of the fourth signal RESET remains low and is maintained for a first set time length, so that the problem of restarting does not occur, which is convenient for detecting the fault problem of the vehicle 200, and after the problem is solved, i.e., after the first set time length, the vehicle 200 is restarted.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first set time length is 257s (with reference to Figure 5 ).

[0036] Based on the above scheme, some embodiments of the present application provide a shutdown abnormality protection circuit 100, which solves the problem of shutdown abnormality by adding a voltage dividing circuit 1 and a detection circuit 2. Through the voltage dividing circuit 1, when the input second signal SOC-Power is high, the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER can be output to the detection circuit 2, and the fourth signal RESET output by the detection circuit 2 is high for a certain time period, so that the problem of restarting does not occur, which is convenient for detecting the fault problem of the vehicle 200, and after the problem is solved, i.e., after the first set time length, the vehicle 200 is restarted.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4 , the voltage dividing circuit 1 includes a switching sub-circuit 11 and a voltage dividing sub-circuit 12.

[0038] The control end of the switch sub-circuit 11 is configured to receive a first signal ACC-DET; the first end of the switch sub-circuit 11 is electrically connected with the second end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12, and the second end of the switch sub-circuit 11 is electrically connected with the ground end.

[0039] The first end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12 is configured to receive a second signal SOC-Power; the third end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12 is electrically connected with the input end of the detection circuit 2, and the third end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12 is configured to generate and output a third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER.

[0040] The switch sub-circuit 11 is turned on and then turned off when the first signal ACC-DET received by the switch sub-circuit 11 is converted from high level to low level, so that the voltage output by the third end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12 is converted from low level to high level, and the detection circuit 2 can be detected, so that the fourth signal RESET output by the detection circuit 2 is high level in a certain period of time.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 The switch sub-circuit 11 includes a transistor Q.

[0042] The control end of the transistor Q is the control end of the switch sub-circuit 11, the first end of the transistor Q is the first end of the switch sub-circuit 11, and the second end of the transistor Q is the second end of the switch sub-circuit 11; the control end of the transistor Q is configured to receive the first signal ACC-DET, and the transistor Q is turned off when the level of the first signal ACC-DET is the first level and turned on when the level of the first signal ACC-DET is the second level.

[0043] In some embodiments, the transistor Q is an NMOS tube, and the control end of the transistor Q is the gate of the NMOS tube, and the source and drain of the NMOS tube are turned on when the gate of the NMOS tube receives a high level.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4 The voltage division sub-circuit 12 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2.

[0045] The first end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected with the second end of the second resistor R2, the first end of the first resistor R1 is the third end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12, the second end of the first resistor R1 is the second end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12; and the first end of the second resistor R2 is the first end of the voltage division sub-circuit 12.

[0046] The level of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is the voltage across the first resistor R1. When the transistor Q is turned on, the voltage across the first resistor R1 is the voltage divided by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. When the transistor Q is turned off, the voltage across the first resistor R1 is the voltage of the second signal SOC-Power. Therefore, the level of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is converted from low to high.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , the detection circuit 2 comprises a voltage threshold detection module 13 and an inverter INV.

[0048] The input end of the voltage threshold detection module 13 is the input end of the detection circuit 2, and the output end of the voltage threshold detection module 13 is electrically connected with the input end of the inverter INV. The output end of the inverter INV is the output end of the detection circuit 2.

[0049] The voltage threshold detection module 13 is configured to output a delay signal Power-ERROR-DET when the level of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is greater than the threshold voltage, and to keep the first level of the delay signal Power-ERROR-DET for a first set time length.

[0050] The inverter INV is configured to convert the delay signal Power-ERROR-DET into a fourth signal RESET.

[0051] In some embodiments, the threshold voltage is 2.8V, and the SOC-Power is 3.3V. After voltage division, the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is lower than 2.8V. If the transistor is not turned on, the voltage of the third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is 3.3V, which is higher than 2.8V. At this time, the voltage threshold detection module 13 outputs the delay signal Power-ERROR-DET and keeps it for a first set time length.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4 , the shutdown abnormality protection circuit 100 further comprises a level detection module 3, a restart module 4 and a master control chip 5.

[0053] The output end of the level detection module 3 is electrically connected with the voltage division circuit 1. The output end of the level detection module 3 is configured to provide a first signal ACC-DET.

[0054] The input end of the restart module 4 is electrically connected with the output end of the detection circuit 2, and is also electrically connected with the input end of the master control chip 5. The restart module 4 is configured to receive the fourth signal RESET, and works when the fourth signal RESET is at the second level.

[0055] The output of the main control chip 5 is electrically connected to the voltage divider circuit 1, and the main control chip 5 is configured to provide the second signal SOC-Power.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second level is a low level.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle 200 including the aforementioned shutdown abnormality protection circuit 100.

[0058] The vehicle 200 shuts down normally via a shutdown anomaly protection circuit 100, which addresses shutdown anomalies by adding a voltage divider circuit 1 and a detection circuit 2. Through the voltage divider circuit 1, when the input second signal SOC-Power is high, a third signal SOC-Power-DIVDER is output to the detection circuit 2. For a certain period, the detection circuit 2 outputs a fourth signal RESET that is high, thus preventing restarts and facilitating the detection of vehicle 200 malfunctions. After the problem is resolved, i.e., after the first set time, the vehicle restarts. Furthermore, the shutdown anomaly protection circuit 100 in this application can be implemented without a controller, further reducing vehicle costs, and its low quiescent current further reduces safety risks.

[0059] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
