The self-discharge module 50 is connected to both the battery pack 10 and the MCU module 30 and automatically discharges the battery pack 10 according to the control commands.
[0034] In this embodiment, the battery pack 10 is composed of multiple battery cells 101. The battery cells can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a series-parallel combination to achieve the required voltage and capacity. The analog front-end module 20 can monitor the data information of each battery cell 101, such as voltage, current, and temperature. The MCU module 30 is connected to the charge-discharge module 40 and is responsible for analyzing and processing the battery data information from the analog front-end module 20, and making charge-discharge decisions based on the data information to ensure that the battery pack 10 operates under safe and efficient conditions.

[0040] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth module 60 establishes a communication interface with the MCU module 30, such as using the UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter) communication protocol. After the MCU module 30 processes the data information of the battery cell 101 from the analog front-end module 20, it sends the processing result to the Bluetooth module 60 through this interface for wireless transmission. After receiving the data, the Bluetooth module 60 uses its wireless signal capability to transmit the real-time status of the battery to an external Bluetooth receiving device, including but not limited to information such as battery voltage, temperature, and remaining power, so that the user can remotely monitor the health status of the battery.
[0041] In this embodiment, a signal processing module 70 is provided between the battery cell 101 and the analog front-end module 20. Before the signal is transmitted to the analog front-end module 20, the signal processing module 70 reduces noise in the signal through filter capacitors and other filter components, improves data quality, ensures that the analog front-end module 20 receives a clean signal, and reduces erroneous readings.

The first MOSFET driver 100a and the second MOSFET driver 100b are respectively connected to the gates of multiple MOSFETs 401 in the MOSFET array, and each MOSFET 401 is connected to each other through a line.
[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of an optional MOS transistor driving module according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the MOS transistor driving module 100 is used to drive the MOS transistor 401 that operates under high current and high voltage. It includes a first MOS transistor driver 100a and a second MOS transistor driver 100b. The first MOS transistor driver 100a is connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor 801, and the second MOS transistor driver 100b is connected to the gate of the second MOS transistor 901. These two drivers are responsible for driving the effect transistors in the precharge circuit module 80 and the pre-discharge circuit module 90, respectively.
[0047] In this embodiment, the gate of each MOSFET 401 is connected to the corresponding driver in the MOSFET driving module 100, ensuring that the MCU module 30 can accurately control the switching state of each MOSFET 401 through the MOSFET driving module 100, thereby controlling the current path in the entire battery management system.

[0049] In this embodiment, the low-voltage battery management system 1 further includes a CAN transceiver 110, a connector 120, and a digital isolation module 130. The CAN transceiver 110 is responsible for transmitting internal and external data of the battery management system. One end of the CAN transceiver 110 is connected to the connector 120, and the other end is connected to the digital isolation module 130. This connection method allows the CAN transceiver to receive external data from the connector, and it can also transmit data information processed by the MCU module 30, such as battery status information, to the outside.
[0050] In this embodiment, the digital isolation module 130 is used to establish an electrical isolation barrier between the MCU module 30 and the CAN transceiver 110 to prevent high voltage signals from entering the MCU module 30 and protect the core control unit from damage. One side of the digital isolation module 130 is connected to the CAN transceiver 110 to receive data from the CAN network, and the other side is connected to the MCU module (30) to safely transmit data to the MCU module 30. At the same time, it also transmits the instructions and data of the MCU module 30 to the CAN transceiver 110 in reverse to realize bidirectional communication.
[0051] In this embodiment, the MCU module 30 can be woken up by receiving a CAN signal through the digital isolation module 130, or by waking up the MCU module 30 through the button module 160.

[0053] In this embodiment, the isolation optocoupler 140 converts electrical signals into optical signals and then back into electrical signals through photoelectric conversion, thereby enabling safe signal transmission between different electronic components. Especially in environments with high voltage differences, such as when the connector communicates with external devices, multiple isolation optocouplers 140 are integrated on the circuit board to ensure that each signal path from the connector 120 to the MCU module 30 is equipped with an isolation optocoupler 140, thus providing comprehensive isolation protection for all data transmission.

[0055] In this embodiment, the storage module 150 is used to record and save key data generated during system operation. The button module 160 provides users with an intuitive operation interface (i.e., buttons). By pressing the button, the low-voltage battery management system 1 is woken up. After waking up the low-voltage battery management system 1, the charging and discharging module 40 can be closed by pressing the button. It can also be used with LED lights to indicate various statuses or faults. Different short press or long press logics realize different functions (such as system start-up, status query, emergency stop, etc.). The total voltage detection module 170 is responsible for monitoring the total voltage level of the battery pack 10 in real time.
[0056] In this embodiment, the storage module 150 can be a variety of non-volatile storage devices such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and Flash Memory. Whenever the system runs, monitors, or performs any operation, the MCU module 30 generates corresponding data records and saves these records in the storage module 150 through communication protocols (such as SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit). For example, during pre-charge or pre-discharge, the MCU module 30 records data such as the operating state of the MOSFET, changes in charging / discharging current, and battery temperature to facilitate later analysis and troubleshooting.

It is suitable for applications with a wide power supply voltage range and requiring isolation. The input terminal of the Fly-Buck buck converter 200 is connected to the output of the battery pack 10, and the output terminal provides the target voltage to external devices (such as a drone control system) as needed.

[0062] like Figure 6As shown, the signal processing module 70 collects battery data from individual cells in the battery pack 10, performs filtering and other processing on the battery data to reduce noise, and sends the processed signal to the analog front-end module 20. The analog front-end module 20 receives a clean signal and sends it to the MCU module 30. Simultaneously, the total voltage detection module 170 detects the total voltage of the battery pack and sends it to the MCU module 30. The MCU module 30 generates control commands based on the obtained battery data, controlling the MOSFET driver module 100 to drive the MOSFET 401 in the charge / discharge module 40 to achieve charging or discharging, driving the first MOSFET 801 in the pre-charge circuit module 80 to achieve charging (first charge, i.e., activating the battery), and driving the second MOSFET 901 in the pre-discharge circuit module 90 to achieve discharging. Additionally, after detecting that the battery pack has been fully charged for a certain period of time, the self-discharge module 50 is controlled to perform self-discharge to ensure battery safety. Furthermore, the data acquired by the MCU module can also be transmitted via the Bluetooth module 60. The output to Bluetooth devices can display battery data and other information in real time. In addition to waking up the MCU module 30 via the button module 160, the MCU module 30 can also be woken up via the CAN signal sent by the CAN transceiver 110 received by the isolation optocoupler 140. One end of the CAN transceiver 110 is connected to the connector 120, and the other end is connected to the digital isolation module 130. The digital isolation module 130 is connected to the MCU module 30 to establish an electrical isolation barrier to prevent high voltage signals from entering the MCU module 30 and protect the core control unit from damage.

The CU module transmits data to an isolated optocoupler; the CAN transceiver connects to a connector for data transmission between the system and external systems; a buck circuit steps down the battery pack voltage (e.g., 10V) and, through diodes and a regulator, obtains a lower voltage to power the constant power supply (e.g., VDD_+3V3, VCC_3V3_STBY (3.3V standby power), VDDA_+3V3); the Fly-Buck buck converter driver and transformer, forming a Fly-Buck buck converter, receive the EN signal from the MCU and control the current in the primary winding of the transformer, thereby... The required voltage is generated in the secondary winding of the transformer to power the controllable power supply (such as ISO_12V, ISO_5V, VCC3.3V, VCC_12V). In the system sleep state, the MCU module can send a command to the EN port of the Fly-Buck buck converter driver to turn off the controllable power supply to reduce power consumption. When the battery pack is fully charged and has been idle for a long time, the MCU module enables the self-discharge circuit module through the MCU_self_discharge_en signal to gradually release the charge in the battery and increase safety. EEPROM and FLASH Memory (i.e., storage modules) are used to store data in the system (such as log records, key parameter storage, fault information records, firmware program storage, etc.).
[0064] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the UAV is in standby mode, the wake-up circuit of the MCU module 30 (powered by the VCC_3V3_STBY power supply) receives the CAN signal isolated by the digital isolation module 130, which will trigger the MCU module 30 to wake up from the standby mode and resume its normal operation. If the CAN signal wake-up fails, the MCU module can also be woken up by the button module.
[0065] In this embodiment of the utility model, the charging and discharging module 40 of the low-voltage battery management system 1 adopts a top heat dissipation packaging method to encapsulate the MOSFET, which can improve heat dissipation capacity. At the same time, the low-voltage battery management system 1 also includes a self-discharge module 50 to reduce power consumption, improve the safety of the battery when it is idle for a long time, and improve the battery life, thereby improving the system stability. The low-voltage battery management system 1 also has a Bluetooth module 60, which allows users to conveniently check the battery status and abnormalities through electronic devices.
