[0008] The balancing resistor R1 ensures the voltage balance across each protection capacitor C. When the battery is fully charged, the charging switch is turned off, and the excess feedback energy is used to charge the several series-connected protection capacitors C, avoiding damage to the vehicle motor system. When the voltage across the protection capacitor C is higher than the set value, the control circuit acquires this voltage, and the control switch element connects the balancing circuit, so that the consumption resistor R2 is connected across the protection capacitor C, and the excess energy is consumed, avoiding damage to the protection capacitor C.

[0012] When the voltage between the two ends of the protection capacitor C is lower than the set value, the voltage in the voltage dividing circuit is also lower than the set value, the anode 2 and the cathode 3 are kept disconnected, that is, the voltage stabilizing circuit is disconnected, so that there is no current signal on the base B, and the triode Q is kept disconnected, and the consumption resistor R2 does not consume electric energy;

[0013] When the battery is fully charged, the charging switch is disconnected, and the excess feedback energy is used to charge a plurality of series-connected protection capacitors C, when the voltage between the two ends of the protection capacitor C is higher than the set value, the sampling end of the voltage dividing circuit detects it, and the output end of the voltage dividing circuit outputs a current to the reference end 1 of the three-terminal voltage regulator U to control the anode 2 and the cathode 3 to be connected, so that the voltage stabilizing circuit is connected, thereby transmitting the current to the base B, so that the triode Q is turned on, and the consumption resistor R2 is connected to the two ends of the protection capacitor C, so that the excess electric energy is consumed.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a battery protection circuit for a golf cart is provided. The two ends of the battery protection circuit are connected to the battery's positive terminal P+ and the battery's negative terminal P-, respectively. The battery protection circuit includes several sub-circuits connected in series; in this embodiment, there are 24 sub-circuits. Each sub-circuit includes:

[0028] The protection capacitor C is connected in series with the protection capacitors of different sub-circuits. The protection capacitor C of this utility model is a farad capacitor with a specification of 30F / 2.7V.

[0029] A balancing resistor R1 is connected in parallel across the protection capacitor C. The balancing resistor R1 ensures that the voltage across each protection capacitor C is balanced by blocking the voltage drop across it.

[0030] Balanced circuit, including:

[0031] The power consumption resistor R2 includes several resistors connected in parallel. In this embodiment, the power consumption resistor R2 includes R21, R22, R23 and R24, and also includes a light-emitting diode (LED) as a working signal.

[0032] The control circuit has a switching element connected in series with the power consumption resistor R2 and then connected in parallel across the protection capacitor C. The control circuit is coupled to the protection capacitor C to collect the voltage across the protection capacitor C and controls the switching element to turn on or off based on whether the voltage is higher than a set value. The set value is set based on the rated capacitance of the protection capacitor C.

[0033] The control circuit includes a transistor Q as a switching element and a transistor on / off control circuit. The emitter E of transistor Q is connected to the positive terminal of the protection capacitor C, the collector L is connected to the dissipation resistor R2, and the base B is connected to the output terminal of the transistor on / off control circuit. The sampling terminal of the transistor on / off control circuit is connected to both ends of the protection capacitor C and controls the on / off state of transistor Q based on whether the voltage of the protection capacitor C is higher than the set value.

[0034] The transistor on / off control circuit includes a voltage regulator circuit and a voltage divider circuit connected in parallel. The voltage regulator circuit includes a voltage regulator resistor R3 and a three-terminal regulator U. The anode 2 of the three-terminal regulator U is connected to the positive terminal of the protection capacitor C through the voltage regulator resistor R3. The base B of the transistor Q is connected to the anode 2 of the three-terminal regulator U, and the cathode 3 of the three-terminal regulator U is connected to the negative terminal of the protection capacitor C. The sampling of the voltage divider circuit is coupled to the protection capacitor C, and the output terminal is connected to the reference terminal 1 of the three-terminal regulator U. The voltage divider circuit controls the on / off state of the three-terminal regulator U according to whether the voltage is higher than the set value.

[0035] The voltage divider circuit includes voltage divider resistors R4 and R5 connected in series. The output terminal of the voltage divider circuit is located between voltage divider resistors R4 and R5. The voltage or current output of the voltage divider circuit is adjusted using voltage divider resistors R4 and R5 to match the model of reference terminal 1 of the three-terminal regulator U. In this embodiment, the model of the three-terminal regulator U is TL432, therefore the voltage setting value of the output terminal of the voltage divider circuit is set to 2.5V.

[0036] A protective resistor R6 is connected between the base B and the output terminal of the transistor on / off control circuit to prevent the three-terminal regulator U from being directly connected to the two ends of the protective capacitor C.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] When the battery is not fully charged, the charging switch is on, allowing excess feedback energy to be used to charge the battery. At this time, the protection capacitor C is not charged because the polarities are opposite. Therefore, the voltage across the protection capacitor C is lower than the set value, and the voltage in the voltage divider circuit is also lower than the set value of 2.5V. Anode 2 and cathode 3 remain disconnected, that is, the voltage regulator circuit is disconnected, so there is no current signal on the base B. The transistor Q remains disconnected, and the power consumption resistor R2 does not consume power.

[0039] When the battery is fully charged, the charging switch is turned off. The excess feedback energy is used to charge the 24 series-connected protection capacitors C. When the voltage across the protection capacitor C is higher than the set value, the voltage at the output of the voltage divider circuit is higher than the set value of 2.5V, thereby outputting current to the reference terminal 1 of the three-terminal regulator U to connect the anode 2 and the cathode 3. The voltage regulator circuit is connected, thereby transmitting a current signal to the base B, causing the transistor Q to conduct. The resistor R2 is connected to the two ends of the protection capacitor C, consuming the excess electrical energy and preventing damage to the protection capacitor C.

[0040] When the battery is depleted, turning the charging switch back on will discharge the protection capacitor C, automatically charging the battery. This causes the voltage across the protection capacitor C to drop below a set value. The voltage in the voltage divider circuit is below the set value of 2.5V, so anode 2 and cathode 3 remain disconnected, meaning the voltage regulator circuit is disconnected. This results in no current signal on the base B, and transistor Q remains disconnected. The power consumption resistor R2 does not consume power, reducing energy loss and protecting the vehicle's motor system while saving energy.

[0041] Example 2: A battery module, such as Figure 3 As shown, the battery protection circuit of the golf cart mentioned above is included, as well as the vehicle motor system with its two ends connected to the battery positive interface P+ and the battery negative interface P- respectively.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
