Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium batteries, and in particular to a series-connectable lithium battery protection board. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the lithium battery field typically uses integrated lithium battery packs, which have poor size compatibility, are difficult to maintain, and the protection boards do not support series connection; specifically:
[0003] 1. Currently, power lithium battery packs cannot be flexibly connected in series, which means that the battery compartments of most electric motorcycles and lightweight electric motorcycles cannot be matched with the integrated lithium battery packs on the market. The installation size is limited, which leads to many small workshops without formal production qualifications engaging in illegal customization and modification, increasing the risk of use.
[0004] 2. Lithium battery manufacturers need to adapt to different vehicle sizes, requiring them to design and manufacture battery packs of various sizes and styles to meet usage requirements. This makes it impossible to standardize the production of lithium battery packs like lead-acid batteries, resulting in inconsistent quality.
[0005] 3. Maintaining an integrated lithium battery is quite difficult, requiring complete disassembly and repair at the factory, resulting in high maintenance costs, long maintenance cycles, and significant diagnostic challenges.
[0006] 4. Currently, protection boards on the market cannot support series use. Firstly, the charging and discharging MOSFETs have low voltage tolerance, and secondly, there are no relevant isolation and protection circuits for this solution, which means they can only be used in integrated batteries.

[0050] Anti-backflow circuit:
[0051] When the corresponding smallest cell of the battery finishes discharging, its discharge MOSFET turns off, and the battery + vehicle control system stops working. At this time, the positive terminal of the entire system is Pack- of the battery pack, and the negative terminal of the entire system is B- of the battery pack. This causes the charging MOSFET drive section to be subjected to a negative voltage close to the entire voltage. Therefore, the anti-backflow circuit can effectively protect the charging MOSFET drive section.
[0052] Load / charger detection clamping circuit:
[0053] Similarly, at this time, the "load / charger detection" port of the management unit will be subjected to a negative voltage close to the entire voltage. Therefore, the load / charger detection clamping circuit can effectively protect the load / charger detection port of the management unit.
[0054] Battery cell equalization circuit:
[0055] Since there are no other communication or data acquisition lines between the battery cells, only series charging and discharging lines, a threshold voltage-based balancing circuit is needed to ensure the balancing function between battery cells. When a corresponding battery reaches the charging overvoltage threshold voltage V1 in advance, this balancing circuit is activated to divert the charging current of the entire battery pack. For the remaining batteries that have not reached this threshold voltage V1, their "inter-cell balancing" will not be activated, meaning they will not be diverted, thus achieving the balancing effect.
[0056] Internal equalization circuit of the battery cell:
[0057] The "internal balancing" of the battery cell's internal balancing circuit achieves balancing between the internal cells using the same principle as above.
[0058] Through the protection plate body of this embodiment, it is possible to:
