[0051] The principle of the lithium battery charger is as follows:
[0052] The main structure of this lithium-ion charger circuit is implemented using a combination of a PFC circuit and an LLC circuit. The PFC circuit adopts a Boost topology, using a microcontroller (MCU) to change the PWM waveform, thereby altering the current reference in the loop and adjusting the current output to be in phase with the input voltage, thus improving the power factor. The LLC circuit uses resonant frequency modulation to switch the current and voltage, employing frequency regulation (PFM) or pulse width modulation (PWM) to improve efficiency. The auxiliary power supply circuit provides a stable low-voltage power output to the charger's MCU, PWM controller, relays, display screen, etc., ensuring the stable operation of these control circuits. By combining an RS485 communication circuit with a power supply main control chip (MCU), the system enables real-time monitoring and analysis of parameters such as current, voltage, and temperature during lithium battery charging. The charging progress and battery percentage are displayed intuitively on the screen. The system controls the output current and voltage according to a preset program. Simultaneously, the charger adjusts the fan speed based on the charging status. During high-efficiency charging, the fan operates at maximum power for timely heat dissipation and safe charging. During trickle charging (low current), the fan speed decreases to conserve energy. The auxiliary power supply circuit monitors the operating status of the main control chip (MCU), PWM controller, relays, and display screen in real time, updating the display information based on the charging progress and battery percentage (SOC). The display screen shows the battery's current charging status information in real time, including SOC information and operating status information. When a charger malfunctions during charging, the display screen will show the corresponding fault information based on the cause or status code. The user can then troubleshoot the fault according to the displayed fault code. At the same time, the charger will determine whether the current status meets the conditions for continuing charging based on the diagnostic results. If it is determined that charging can continue, the charger will control the current and voltage within a safe range and monitor the battery in real time. Once any abnormality occurs, the charger will stop charging while issuing a warning.
