Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power-assisted bicycle technology, specifically to a controller for switching dual power supplies in an electric resistance bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of e-bikes, some customers need to ride for extended periods, but battery life is a weakness of e-bikes. This is because the battery capacity of e-bikes is designed to be very small in order to meet the needs of the general market. Therefore, customers can choose to add an additional battery pack to form a dual power supply system to increase the overall range of the bike. However, adding an extra battery compartment requires additional accessories to meet the current dual power switching requirements.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies use a splitter as an additional accessory to meet the current dual-power switching requirements. Specifically, the interfaces of the two battery packs are connected to opposite ends of the splitter, which then determines which battery pack will power the bicycle's motor. However, adding a splitter requires a separate structural compartment to house it, increasing the overall size of the bicycle. Furthermore, the splitter is expensive, resulting in a high overall cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a controller switching dual power supply circuit. Using this circuit will not increase the size of the electric bicycle and has a low cost.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0006] The controller switching dual power supply circuit of this utility model is characterized by including a controller and a dual power supply unit containing a first power supply battery pack and a second power supply battery pack. The controller is adapted to and connected to the first power supply battery pack and the second power supply battery pack to collect voltage information of the first power supply battery pack and the second power supply battery pack. The first power supply battery pack is connected to the motor Pmotor of the electric bicycle through a switching circuit one, and the second power supply battery pack is connected to the motor Pmotor of the electric bicycle through a switching circuit two. The controller is adapted to and connected to the switching circuit one and the switching circuit two. The controller controls the switching circuit one or the switching circuit two to conduct according to the voltage information of the first power supply battery pack and the second power supply battery pack, so as to realize the switching power supply of the two power supply battery packs.

[0007] The switching circuit one and the switching circuit two have the same structure.

[0008] Both the first switching circuit and the second switching circuit contain NMOS transistors; the drain of the NMOS transistor in the first switching circuit is connected to the first power supply battery pack, the drain of the NMOS transistor in the second switching circuit is connected to the first power supply battery pack, and the source of both NMOS transistors is connected to the motor Pmotor of the electric bicycle; the gate of each NMOS transistor is connected to a driving circuit, and the controller is connected to the driving circuit to control the two NMOS transistors to be turned on or off.

[0009] The driving circuit includes a first transistor, a first resistor, and a tenth resistor. One end of the first resistor is connected to the driving power supply BOOSTV and one end of a second resistor, respectively. The other end of the first resistor is connected to the emitter of the first transistor. The other end of the second resistor is connected to the base of the first transistor and one end of a third resistor. The other end of the third resistor is connected to the collector of the third transistor. The base of the third transistor is connected to one end of a fourth resistor and one end of a fifth resistor, respectively. The other end of the fourth resistor is connected to the controller to receive the Pmotor_Enable signal generated by the controller. The other end of the fifth resistor... The emitter of the third transistor is grounded through the sixth resistor; the collector of the first transistor is connected to the cathode of the first diode, the anode of the second diode, the base of the second transistor, and one end of the seventh resistor; the anode of the first diode, the other end of the seventh resistor, and the collector of the second transistor are all connected to the source of the corresponding NMOS transistor; one end of the tenth resistor is connected to the gate of the corresponding NMOS transistor, and the other end of the tenth resistor is connected to the emitter of the second transistor; the cathode of the second diode is connected to one end of the eighth resistor, and the other end of the eighth resistor is connected to the emitter of the second transistor.

[0010] Both the first switching circuit and the second switching circuit contain a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The source of each NMOS transistor is connected in series with the corresponding first capacitor and second capacitor and then grounded.

[0011] The first power supply battery pack is connected to the anode of diode D7, the second power supply battery pack is connected to the anode of diode D10, the cathodes of diode D7 and diode D10 are connected to the low-voltage conversion unit of the controller switching dual power supply circuit, and the drive power supply BOOSTV is formed by the low-voltage conversion unit.

[0012] The controller contains an MCU chip U4 with the model number MM32SPIN27PS.

[0013] The above approach has the following advantages:

[0014] Because the controller of this invention uses a dual-power supply switching circuit to collect voltage information from the first and second power supply battery packs, and then controls the switching circuit one or switching circuit two to conduct based on the voltage information of the two power supply battery packs, the dual-power supply circuit eliminates the need for a shunt. The controller's own detection scheme switches between the first and second power supply battery packs, and switching circuit one or switching circuit two can be integrated on the existing circuit board. This eliminates the need for an additional compartment on the electric bicycle to house the shunt, reducing the overall size of the bicycle. Moreover, switching circuit one or switching circuit two is less expensive than a shunt. Attached Figure Description
