Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic charging, and more specifically, it is a photovoltaic charging management device with weak light power extraction function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most transmission line equipment is powered by either current collectors (CTs) or photovoltaic (PV) power. CT power supply, because it is installed on the originally smooth busbars or contact arms, alters the electric field distribution, causing changes in insulation and dynamic / thermal stability; furthermore, live-line installation work at high voltage carries inherent risks. PV power supply is significantly affected by ambient light conditions, especially during prolonged periods of cloudy or rainy weather when sunlight is insufficient, preventing normal charging and potentially leading to equipment depletion or offline operation. Therefore, low-light charging functionality is crucial for ensuring long-term normal operation of equipment and safeguarding transmission line safety.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN210693542U discloses a low-light charging energy storage system and photovoltaic charging device with active balancing. The device includes a photovoltaic module, a supercapacitor, a charging circuit, a battery pack, and a DC-DC module. The photovoltaic module is connected to the supercapacitor, the supercapacitor is connected to the charging circuit, and the charging circuit is connected to the battery pack. The working principle of this patent is that, under low light conditions, the photovoltaic panel is disconnected from the subsequent circuitry, and only connected to the supercapacitor for charging and energy storage. However, when the supercapacitor voltage rises to equal the photovoltaic panel voltage, energy storage can no longer continue. This method has certain limitations; it cannot continuously store the photovoltaic panel's energy under low light conditions, and the energy that can be stored is relatively limited, failing to achieve continuous charging of the battery under low light conditions.

[0025] The following describes a photovoltaic charging management device with low-light power generation function according to specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic charging management device with low-light power extraction function, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a photovoltaic panel, a battery management unit, a low-light power extraction unit, a monitoring unit, and a battery; after the photovoltaic panel converts solar energy into electrical energy, the battery management unit charges the battery, detects the voltage, and controls the charging current; the monitoring unit controls the low-light power extraction unit to work in low-light conditions based on the battery status and the magnitude of the photovoltaic voltage.

[0028] The photovoltaic panel is connected to the battery management unit and the low-light power collection unit, and is mainly responsible for converting solar energy into electrical energy. Different power and model photovoltaic panels can be adapted according to the actual situation such as equipment power consumption and working environment.

[0029] The battery management unit is connected to the monitoring unit and the battery. The battery management unit includes a half-bridge drive circuit and a buck-type battery charging management circuit. The synchronous buck circuit eliminates the need for a freewheeling diode, solving the temperature rise and power consumption problems of asynchronous buck circuits and improving charging efficiency. It features maximum power point tracking, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and constant voltage / constant current charging functions. It provides photovoltaic charging management and charging protection for the battery.

[0030] The monitoring unit is connected to the low-light power supply unit and the battery management unit, and mainly realizes the acquisition of voltage and the control of the battery management unit and the low-light power supply unit. It controls the operation of relevant circuits according to different lighting conditions.

[0031] The low-light power unit is connected to the battery. When the device is in a low-light environment, the low-light power supply operates, using a DC-DC converter to charge the battery with a small current / low power, enabling battery charging and management under low-light conditions.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the low-light power supply unit includes: a power supply section, a U1 chip 5200, and a load section. The power supply section includes a power input VCC, a capacitor C1 connected between VCC and ground, a resistor R1, and a resistor R2.

The load section is a battery connected through a diode D2, and C3 is a filter capacitor. When there is weak light, the power supply VCC provides electrical energy. Through the voltage division of resistors R1 and R2, the enable terminal EN1 of control chip U1 is activated, determining whether the chip operates. U1 drives the circuit through PWM on pin 6 and feedback voltage on pin 3, dynamically adjusting the output voltage, including inductor L1 and resistors R3 and R4. Inductor L1 acts as an energy storage and filter in the circuit, forming a power loop with freewheeling diode D1. Diode D2 prevents reverse current and overvoltage. Resistors R3 and R4 are used for output voltage feedback sampling, and capacitor C3 is used for output filtering.
