[0031] like Figures 1-2As shown, the bidirectional flyback voltage detection and active balancing circuit provided in this embodiment includes a battery pack 1, a switch matrix circuit 2, and a bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, all electrically connected. A control circuit 4 is electrically connected to the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3. The output of the control circuit 4 is electrically connected to the switch matrix circuit 2 through a switch matrix drive circuit 5. The output of the switch matrix circuit 2 is electrically connected to the control circuit 4 through a data acquisition circuit 6. The circuit consists of core components such as the battery pack 1, switch matrix circuit 2, bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, switch matrix drive circuit 4, data acquisition circuit 6, and control circuit 5. This circuit has a compact structure and comprehensive functions. Through precise switching control and algorithms, it achieves accurate detection and active balancing of battery voltage, providing strong support for the optimization of the battery management system. It integrates the active balancing circuit and voltage detection function into one, and can flexibly select the battery to be tested by means of the battery selection switch. In addition, this design also optimizes the framework and reduces costs.

[0032] Battery pack 1 includes several batteries connected in series. Each battery is electrically connected to a battery selection switch group. The battery selection switch group is electrically connected to a bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 through a rectifier switch group, and together with the bidirectional flyback DC connection switch KP5 of the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, they form a rectifier circuit. The bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 is electrically connected to a bidirectional flyback secondary switch KD1 and a bidirectional flyback primary switch KD2. In the circuit, the bidirectional flyback secondary and primary switches are cleverly used for battery charging and discharging control, realizing bidirectional energy flow. The battery selection switch group includes selection switches K1, K2, K3, K4, and K5. The rectifier switch group includes a rectifier switch... The circuit consists of transistors KP1, rectifier switches KP2, KP3, and KP4, and selector switches K1, K3, and K5 connected in parallel. These are then electrically connected to rectifier switches KP2 and KP4, and to rectifier switches KP1 and KP3. Rectifier switches KP1 and KP2 are connected in parallel and then electrically connected to the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter KP5. A capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the secondary switch KD1 of the bidirectional flyback converter, and a capacitor C2 is connected to the primary switch KD2. This circuit can simultaneously perform voltage detection, battery charging, and battery discharging. It can monitor the battery voltage in real time and automatically perform equalization operations as needed, without requiring an additional voltage detection module. Specifically:

[0033] Voltage detection:

[0034] When the first battery needs to be tested, the selection switch K1 and selection switch K2 are turned on. At this time, the circuit where selection switch K2 is located is the positive terminal and the circuit where selection switch K1 is located is the negative terminal. In the rectifier circuit, rectifier switches KP3 and KP2 are turned on to perform rectification.

[0035] When the second battery is being tested, the selector switches K2 and K3 are turned on. At this time, the circuit containing selector switch K2 is the negative terminal and the circuit containing selector switch K3 is the positive terminal. In the rectifier circuit, rectifier switches KP1 and KP4 are turned on.

[0036] By analogy, the voltage of all batteries can be detected;

[0037] Equilibrium state:

[0038] If balancing is required based on the detected voltage, then the rectifier switch KP5 is turned on.

[0039] If the battery voltage is too low, equalization charging is initiated, and charging is performed through PWM control of the bidirectional flyback secondary switch KD2 and synchronous rectification of the bidirectional flyback secondary switch KD1.

[0040] When the battery is charging, the primary circuit is connected to the battery bus, and the voltage is stepped down to supply power to the battery that needs to be charged.

[0041] If the battery voltage is too high, perform equalization discharge. At this time, the PWM and synchronous rectification functions of the bidirectional flyback secondary switch KD1 and bidirectional flyback secondary switch KD2 are swapped.

[0042] When the battery discharges, the voltage discharges from the primary side to the bus, where the bus refers to the overall output voltage of the battery.

[0043] Therefore, by using the selector switch and rectifier switch, the voltage of each battery cell can be detected. Based on the voltage detection, batteries with low voltage are charged to achieve balanced charging, and batteries with high voltage are discharged to achieve balanced discharging.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bus voltage of battery pack 1 is output to bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, and the bus voltage of bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 is input to battery pack 1. Battery pack 1 serves as the energy source and load of the entire balancing system. The battery pack is composed of multiple individual cells connected in series. Since there may be performance differences between individual cells, active balancing is required to improve the performance and lifespan of the entire battery pack.

[0045] Battery pack 1 outputs equal current and battery voltage to switch matrix circuit 2. Switch matrix circuit 2 inputs equal current to battery pack 1. Switch matrix circuit 2 is a key part connecting battery pack 1 and bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3. It realizes flexible connection between individual cells in battery pack 1 and bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 by switching multiple switching elements, thereby allowing energy to be freely transferred between individual cells.

[0046] The equalization output of the switch matrix circuit 2 is sent to the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, and the equalization input of the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 is sent to the switch matrix circuit 2. The bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 is one of the core components of this system. It can realize bidirectional energy flow. During the active equalization process, the converter transfers energy from high-voltage single cells to low-voltage single cells, or vice versa, according to the instructions of the control circuit, so as to achieve energy balance within the battery pack.

[0047] The bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 feeds back the signal to the control circuit 4. The switch matrix drive circuit 4 is responsible for controlling the on / off state of the switching elements in the switch matrix circuit. It receives instructions from the control circuit and converts them into signals that the switching elements can understand, thereby achieving precise control of the switch matrix circuit. The control circuit 4 transmits the control signal to the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3. The acquisition circuit 6 monitors the voltage, current, and other parameters of each individual cell in the battery pack in real time and transmits this data to the control circuit 5. This data is an important basis for the control circuit 5 to make equalization decisions. The control circuit 5 is the "brain" of the entire active equalization system. Based on the data provided by the acquisition circuit 6, it determines the individual cells that need to be equalized, as well as the direction and degree of equalization, through complex algorithms and logical judgments. Then, the control circuit 5 sends equalization instructions to the switch matrix drive circuit 4 and the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3 to execute the equalization operation.

[0048] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the principle of the bidirectional flyback voltage detection combined active equalization circuit provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] The circuit consists of a battery pack 1, a switch matrix circuit 2, and a bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, all electrically connected. A control circuit 4 is electrically connected to the bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3. The output of the control circuit 4 is electrically connected to the switch matrix circuit 2 via a switch matrix drive circuit 5. The output of the switch matrix circuit 2 is electrically connected to the control circuit 4 via a data acquisition circuit 6. This circuit is composed of core components such as the battery pack 1, switch matrix circuit 2, bidirectional flyback DC-DC converter 3, switch matrix drive circuit 4, data acquisition circuit 6, and control circuit 5. This circuit has a compact structure and comprehensive functions. Through precise switching control and algorithms, it achieves accurate detection and active balancing of battery voltage, providing strong support for the optimization of the battery management system. It integrates the active balancing circuit and voltage detection function into one, and can flexibly select the battery to be tested by means of the battery selection switch. In addition, this design also optimizes the framework and reduces costs.

[0050] In this circuit, the bidirectional flyback secondary switch and the bidirectional flyback primary switch are cleverly used for battery charging and discharging control, realizing bidirectional energy flow and simultaneously achieving voltage detection, battery charging, and battery discharging. This circuit can monitor the battery voltage in real time and automatically perform equalization operations as needed, without the need for an additional voltage detection module.
