Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power electronics technology, specifically to a load detection circuit. This application also relates to a charging and discharging circuit, a mobile charging and discharging device, a solar charging and discharging device, and an off-grid solar energy system. Background Technology

[0002] The load detection function is primarily used in power banks with high protection requirements. Once the power bank has finished charging the phone, its charging function should be turned off. This saves power consumption and disconnects power to the charging port, ensuring its durability. If the charging port is not disconnected in time, it will undergo electrochemical reactions and corrode under high humidity or rainy conditions.

[0003] Existing technologies typically use sampling resistors and amplification circuits to detect whether a load is disconnected. A sampling resistor is connected in series with the load circuit. The current flowing through the load creates a voltage drop across the sampling resistor. This voltage drop is amplified by the sampling amplifier circuit and then fed into a microcontroller for ADC sampling, allowing the microcontroller to determine the current load current. When the load is disconnected, the current approaches zero, thus indicating that the load has been disconnected. This technique requires adding a sampling resistor to the load's discharge circuit, which consumes energy and reduces circuit efficiency. Furthermore, it necessitates the addition of a sampling amplifier circuit, resulting in higher implementation costs. Utility Model Content

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this application; therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application. The descriptive terms used in this application and the appended claims, such as "a," "first," and "second," are not intended to limit quantity or sequence, but rather to distinguish information of the same type from one another.

[0024] Existing technologies typically employ sampling resistors and amplification circuits to detect whether the load is disconnected. For example... Figure 1As shown, a sampling resistor is connected in series in the circuit containing the load. The current flowing through the load generates a voltage drop across the sampling resistor. This voltage drop is amplified by a sampling amplifier circuit and then fed into the microcontroller for ADC sampling, allowing the microcontroller to determine the current load current. When the load is disconnected, the current approaches zero, indicating that the load has been disconnected. This technique requires adding a sampling resistor to the load's discharge circuit, which consumes energy and reduces circuit efficiency. Furthermore, existing techniques necessitate the addition of a sampling amplifier circuit, increasing implementation costs.

[0025] This application provides a load detection circuit to solve the problems of low loop efficiency, high power consumption and high implementation cost of existing load detection circuits.

[0026] This application provides a load detection circuit for detecting the connection status of a load in a charging and discharging circuit. The load detection circuit includes a switching element, a first resistor, and a controller. The input terminal of the switching element is connected to a power supply, and the output terminal of the switching element is connected to the controller. The input terminal of the first resistor is connected to the first output terminal of the switching element, and the output terminal of the first resistor is connected to the common terminal of the DC-DC converter switch pin and the energy storage element in the charging and discharging circuit. The DC-DC converter includes a pulse frequency modulation operating mode. In the pulse frequency modulation operating mode, the common terminal transmits a low-level signal to the first output terminal of the switching element through the first resistor, causing the switching element to be in a conducting state. The second output terminal of the switching element transmits the first electrical signal output from the power supply to the controller. When the first electrical signal is less than a preset value, the controller sends a load disconnect command to the charging and discharging circuit or the load in the charging and discharging circuit is in a disconnected state.

[0027] The load detection circuit provided in this application can be used to detect the connection status of a load in a charging and discharging circuit. The charging and discharging circuit can be a DC-DC circuit including a DC-DC IC (DC-DC converter). Typically, DC-DC circuits have two topologies: a BUCK circuit (buck converter) and a BOOST circuit (boost converter).

[0028] When the charging and discharging circuit is a DC-DC BUCK circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown, the input terminal of the DC-DC IC is connected to the power supply VIN, the switching pin of the DC-DC IC is connected to the input terminal of the energy storage element, the output terminal of the energy storage element is connected to the input terminal of the load, and the output terminal of the load is grounded through the output terminal of the output capacitor. In this embodiment, the energy storage element can be an inductor. The common terminal of the switching pin of the DC-DC IC and the energy storage element can be referred to as SW1. Input capacitor C 输入 The input terminal is connected between the power supply VIN and the input terminal of the DC-DC IC, and the input capacitor C... 输入The output terminal is grounded. The ground pin of the DC-DC IC is grounded. Output capacitor C 输出 The input terminal is connected between the output terminal of the energy storage element and the input terminal of the load, and the output capacitor C 输出 The output terminal of diode D is connected to the output terminal of the load. The input terminal of diode D is connected to the output capacitor C. 输出 The output terminal of diode D is connected to the switching pin of the DC-DC IC and the common terminal SW1 of the energy storage element.

[0029] The load detection circuit may include a switching element, a first resistor, and a controller. The input terminal of the switching element is connected to the power supply VCC, and the second output terminal of the switching element is connected to the controller. The first output terminal of the switching element is connected to the input terminal of the first resistor, and the output terminal of the first resistor is connected to the common terminal SW1 of the switching pin of the DC-DC IC in the charging / discharging circuit and the energy storage element.

[0030] When the charging and discharging circuit is a DC-DC BUCK circuit, the working principle of the load detection circuit is as follows:

[0031] The DC-DC IC controls the switch, which has at least two states: on and off. When the switch in the DC-DC IC is on, the power supply VIN is applied to the DC-DC BUCK circuit. Current flows through the energy storage element, the output capacitor, and the load, and then to ground, forming a loop. Because the switch in the DC-DC IC is on, the voltage value of SW1 is the input value of the power supply VIN, which is high; the energy storage element is in the energy storage stage, and the output capacitor is in the charging stage.

[0032] When the switch in the DC-DC IC is turned off, the energy storage element releases energy, the output capacitor discharges, and current flows through the load, then through the diode back to SW1, forming a loop. At this time, the voltage across SW1 is the forward voltage drop of diode D, i.e., V. SW1 =-V D When the inductor has finished discharging, the voltage at SW1 is the output voltage, which is high.

[0033] SW1 transmits a level signal to the first output terminal of the switching element in the load detection circuit via the first resistor. When SW1 is low, the switching element is in the on state, and the second output terminal of the switching element transmits the first electrical signal output by the power supply VCC to the controller. When SW1 is high, the switching element is in the off state. The on and off states of the switch in the DC-DC IC cause SW1 to switch between high and low levels, thereby controlling the on and off states of the switching element in the load detection circuit.

[0034] The operating modes of a DC-DC IC include PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode. The operating modes of a DC-DC IC can also include a hybrid mode of PFM mode and a second modulation mode, such as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). In this embodiment, the second modulation mode can be PWM mode. Therefore, the hybrid operating mode can be, for example, a hybrid mode of PFM and PWM.

[0035] When the DC-DC IC operates in PFM mode, it remains in PFM mode regardless of whether the load is under heavy or light load conditions. When the DC-DC IC operates in a mixed PFM and PWM mode, it operates in PWM mode under heavy load conditions and automatically switches to PFM mode under light load conditions.

[0036] After the DC-DC IC enters PFM mode, as the load capacity in the charging and discharging circuit decreases, the charging signal demanded by the load decreases, resulting in reduced energy consumption and current in the DC-DC BUCK circuit, and consequently, reduced power supply. Therefore, while the pulse width of the switch in the DC-DC IC remains constant, the pulse frequency decreases, and the period becomes longer, meaning the pulse interval between switches becomes longer. This change in the switching pulses in the DC-DC IC leads to a longer interval in the voltage change of SW1, which in turn causes a longer interval in the conduction of the switching elements in the load detection circuit, ultimately resulting in a smaller first electrical signal transmitted to the controller. Therefore, the first electrical signal transmitted to the controller decreases as the load capacity decreases.

[0037] The preset value can be the value of the second electrical signal when the load is at a preset capacity. The preset value can be a value set manually based on the type of load and actual conditions. For example, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the load capacity in the charging / discharging circuit is 20% of the rated load capacity; or, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the load current in the charging / discharging circuit is 50mA; or, when the load is a mobile phone battery, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the mobile phone battery reaches 95% of its full charge.

[0038] When the first electrical signal is less than a preset value, the load in the charging and discharging circuit can be in a light-load condition, and the controller sends a load disconnection command to the charging and discharging circuit. In this embodiment, the controller transmits a command to the enable pin of the DC-DC IC to turn off the DC-DC IC.

[0039] When the first electrical signal is less than a preset value, the load in the charging and discharging circuit can be in an unloaded state. The current required by the load when it is in an unloaded state is less than the current required by the load when it is in a light load state. The first electrical signal when the load is in an unloaded state is also less than the first electrical signal when the load is in a light load state, and is also less than the preset value. Therefore, when the first electrical signal is less than the preset value, the load in the charging and discharging circuit can be in an unloaded state, and the load in the charging and discharging circuit is in an open state.

[0040] When the load capacity in the charging / discharging circuit changes, the first electrical signal transmitted to the controller changes accordingly. A preset value is manually set based on the load type and actual conditions. When the first electrical signal value is less than the preset value, the controller sends a load disconnect command to the charging / discharging circuit, or the load in the charging / discharging circuit is disconnected.

[0041] When the charging and discharging circuit is a DC-DC BOOST circuit, such as Figure 3 As shown, the input terminal of the energy storage element is connected to the power supply VIN, the output terminal of the energy storage element is connected to the switch pin of the DC-DC IC, the output terminal of the DC-DC IC is connected to the input terminal of the load, and the output terminal of the load is grounded through the output terminal of the output capacitor. In this embodiment, the energy storage element can be an inductor. The common terminal of the switch pin of the DC-DC IC and the energy storage element can be referred to as SW2. Input capacitor C 输入 The input terminal is connected between the power supply VIN and the input terminal of the energy storage element, and the input capacitor C... 输入 The output terminal is grounded. The ground pin of the DC-DC IC is grounded. Output capacitor C 输出 The input terminal is connected between the output terminal of the DC-DC IC and the input terminal of the load, and the output capacitor C 输出 The output terminal is connected to the output terminal of the load. Diode D is connected in parallel with the DC-DC IC.

[0042] The load detection circuit may include a switching element, a first resistor, and a controller. The input terminal of the switching element is connected to the power supply VCC, and the second output terminal of the switching element is connected to the controller. The first output terminal of the switching element is connected to the input terminal of the first resistor, and the output terminal of the first resistor is connected to the common terminal SW2 of the DC-DC IC and the energy storage element in the charging / discharging circuit.

[0043] When the charging / discharging circuit is a DC-DC BOOST circuit, the working principle of the load detection circuit is as follows:

[0044] When the switch in the DC-DC IC is turned on, current flows through the energy storage element and then to ground, forming a loop. The energy storage element is in the energy storage phase. At this time, the voltage value of SW2 is close to 0V, which is a low level.

[0045] When the switch in the DC-DC IC is turned off, the energy storage element releases energy, and the current flows through diode D and the load, then to ground, forming a loop. At this time, the voltage value of SW2 is the sum of the diode forward voltage drop and the output voltage, which is a high level.

[0046] For a detailed explanation of the working principle, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 2 The working principle of the load detection circuit based on the DC-DC Buck circuit shown is not described in detail here.

[0047] An embodiment of the load detection circuit based on a DC-DC BUCK circuit provided in this application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. When the charging / discharging circuit is a DC-DC BUCK circuit, the DC-DC IC is a step-down DC-DC converter. The input terminal of the DC-DC IC is connected to the power supply VIN, the switch pin of the DC-DC IC is connected to the input terminal of inductor L, the output terminal of inductor L is connected to the input terminal of the load, and the output terminal of the load is grounded through the output terminal of the output capacitor. The common terminal of the switch pin of the DC-DC IC and the inductor L can be SW1. Input capacitor C 输入 The input terminal is connected between the power supply VIN and the input terminal of the DC-DC IC, and the input capacitor C... 输入 The output terminal is grounded. The ground pin of the DC-DC IC is grounded. Output capacitor C 输出 The input terminal is connected between the output terminal of inductor L and the input terminal of the load, and the output capacitor C... 输出 The output terminal of diode D is connected to the output terminal of the load. The input terminal of diode D is connected to the output capacitor C. 输出 The output terminal of diode D is connected to the common terminal SW1 of the DC-DC IC's switch pin and the inductor L. When the DC-DC IC includes synchronous rectification, diode D can be omitted (not shown in the figure).

[0048] The load detection circuit may include a switching element, a first resistor, and a controller. The switching element may be a transistor Q, such as a PNP transistor. The controller may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), such as a single-chip microcomputer. The emitter of transistor Q is connected to the power supply VCC, the base of transistor Q is connected to the input terminal of the first resistor, and the collector of transistor Q is connected to the single-chip microcomputer. The output terminal of the first resistor is connected to SW1.

[0049] The load detection circuit may also include a filtering circuit, which may include a filtering resistor and a filtering capacitor. The input terminal of the filtering resistor is connected to the collector of the transistor, and the output terminal of the filtering resistor is connected to the microcontroller. The input terminal of the filtering capacitor is connected between the filtering resistor and the microcontroller, and the output terminal of the filtering capacitor is grounded. The pulse signal from the transistor has a waveform with a constant pulse width but a period that varies with the load capacity. After passing through the filtering circuit, the first electrical signal received by the microcontroller also shows a change in the first electrical signal with the load capacity; that is, the smaller the load capacity, the smaller the charging signal required by the load, and the smaller the first electrical signal received by the microcontroller. The filtering circuit can smooth the pulse signal from the transistor, converting it into an approximate DC voltage. The filtering circuit can also eliminate high-frequency noise and protect the circuit from high-frequency interference.

[0050] The load detection circuit may also include a first capacitor, which is connected in parallel with a first resistor. The first capacitor can improve the switching speed of the transistor, thus accelerating the startup process.

[0051] The load detection circuit may also include a second resistor, with its input connected to the power supply VCC and its output connected to the emitter of a transistor. The second resistor can limit the pulse current passing through the transistor, effectively reducing the high-frequency ripple generated by the power supply VCC due to high-frequency pulses.

[0052] The controller may also include an ADC (analog-to-digital converter), with the output of the filter resistor connected to the ADC. The ADC can convert continuous electrical signals into discrete digital signals for storage and processing by the microcontroller.

[0053] Preset values ​​can be manually set according to the type of load and actual conditions. For example, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the load capacity in the charging and discharging circuit is 20% of the rated load capacity; or, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the load current in the charging and discharging circuit is 50mA; or, when the load is a mobile phone battery, the preset value can be set to the value of the second electrical signal transmitted to the controller when the battery power reaches 95% of its full charge.

[0054] When the first electrical signal received by the microcontroller is less than the preset value, the controller sends a load disconnect command to the charging and discharging circuit or the load in the charging and discharging circuit is in a disconnected state.

[0055] For a detailed explanation of the working principle, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 2 The working principle of the load detection circuit based on the DC-DC Buck circuit shown is not described in detail here.

[0056] An embodiment of the load detection circuit based on the DC-DC BOOST circuit provided in this application is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. When the charging / discharging circuit is a DC-DC BOOST circuit, the DC-DC IC is a boost converter type DC-DC converter. The input terminal of inductor L is connected to the power supply VIN, the output terminal of inductor L is connected to the switch pin of the DC-DC IC, the output terminal of the DC-DC IC is connected to the input terminal of the load, and the output terminal of the load is grounded through the output terminal of the output capacitor. The common terminal of the switch pin of the DC-DC IC and the energy storage element can be SW2. Input capacitor C 输入 The input terminal is connected between the power supply VIN and the input terminal of the inductor L, and the input capacitor C... 输入 The output terminal is grounded. The ground pin of the DC-DC IC is grounded. Output capacitor C 输出 The input terminal is connected between the output terminal of the DC-DC IC and the input terminal of the load, and the output capacitor C 输出 The output terminal is connected to the output terminal of the load. Diode D is connected in parallel with the DC-DC IC. When the DC-DC IC includes synchronous rectification, diode D can be omitted (not shown in the figure).

[0057] The output terminal of the first resistor in the load detection circuit is connected to SW2.

This application utilizes the waveform characteristics of the charging and discharging circuit in the DC-DC IC under PFM mode; the first electrical signal changes with the load capacity. By comparing the first electrical signal with a preset value, the current load connection status can be detected.
