[0021] This invention achieves efficient timing switching control of two independent charge / discharge channels of a battery pack by combining a microcontroller with a P-MOS drive circuit. Specifically, the circuit includes a first input / output interface and a second input / output interface, which are respectively connected to the independent charge / discharge channels of the battery pack under test; a shared output interface and a DC negative interface for connecting to aging test equipment.

Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 1 This is the circuit diagram of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 The circuit shown is capable of realizing DC high-current dual-channel input / output timing switching control, comprising:

[0025] The first input / output interface P1+ and the second input / output interface P2+ are respectively connected to the independent charging and discharging channels of the battery pack under test.

[0026] The output interface OUT+ and the common DC negative interface OUT- are used to connect to the aging test equipment.

[0027] The microcontroller U2 controls the switching between two input / output interfaces via a programmable timer. Furthermore, the microcontroller U2 is a high-performance microprocessor based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core, specifically model GD32F303, integrating a floating-point unit and rich peripherals to support timer control functions. In addition, the circuit supports expansion, allowing the number of input / output channels to be increased as needed, and multi-channel timed switching control can be achieved through the programmable configuration of the microcontroller U2.

[0028] The P-MOS driving circuit includes multiple P-MOS transistors, which are respectively connected to the first input / output interface P1+ and the second input / output interface P2+, to realize the alternating conduction and cutoff of the two input / output channels;

[0029] The microcontroller U2 drives the P-MOS transistor to turn on and off through control signals (PREDSG, PRECHG, DFETOFF, CFETOFF), and alternately switches the connection status of the two input / output interfaces through a timer, so that the charging and discharging current of the aging test equipment is input to the battery pack under test through the first input / output interface P1+ and the second input / output interface P2+ in sequence, thereby realizing the timed switching control of the dual input / output channels.

[0030] The aforementioned P-MOS drive circuit includes at least four sets of P-MOS transistors (QD11-QD14, QC11-QC14) for the first input / output interface P1+, and at least four sets of P-MOS transistors (QD21-QD24, QC21-QC24) for the second input / output interface P2+. The number of P-MOS transistors can be dynamically adjusted according to actual current requirements.

[0031] During the charging process, microcontroller U2 turns on the P-MOS transistor of the first input / output interface P1+ through control signals (PREDSG, PRECHG) and starts the timer. When the timer reaches the preset time (e.g., 15 minutes), microcontroller U2 turns on the P-MOS transistor of the second input / output interface P2+ through control signals (DFETOFF, CFETOFF) and turns off the P-MOS transistor of the first input / output interface P1+, thereby realizing the alternating charging of the two channels.

[0032] In the discharge step, microcontroller U2 turns on the P-MOS transistor of the first input / output interface P1+ through control signals (DFETOFF, CFETOFF) and starts the timer; when the timer reaches the preset time, microcontroller U2 turns on the P-MOS transistor of the second input / output interface P2+ through control signals (PREDSG, PRECHG) and turns off the P-MOS transistor of the first input / output interface P1+, so as to realize the alternating discharge of the two channels.

[0033] The first input / output interface P1+ and the second input / output interface P2+ share the DC negative terminal OUT-, and the voltage and current signals of the two input / output interfaces are isolated by controlling the positive terminal of the P-MOS transistor to avoid crosstalk.

[0034] In another embodiment, a DC-DC conversion circuit U1 is also included to convert the input voltage provided by the aging test equipment into the operating voltage (DC3.3V) of the microcontroller U2, and to power the microcontroller U2 through diode D1.

[0035] The working principle is as follows:

[0036] Under normal operating conditions, the first input / output interface P1+ / P1- is connected to the A-channel charge / discharge interface of the PACK battery pack, the second input / output interface P2+ / P2- is connected to the B-channel charge / discharge interface of the PACK battery pack, and the OUT+ / OUT- interface is connected to the charge / discharge interface of the aging chamber. When the aging chamber is set up and charging is started, the charging voltage input at OUT+ will pass through F1 and D4 sequentially, and finally supply U1. U1, as a DC-DC circuit, converts the voltage to DC 3.3V, and then supplies it to the microcontroller U2 through D1 as its operating start voltage.

[0037] After microcontroller U2 starts up, it sends control signals via PREDSG and PRECHG to turn on the discharge MOSFETs QD11, QD12, QD13, and QD14 and the charging MOSFETs QC11, QC12, QC13, and QC14 in the P1+ channel. Simultaneously, microcontroller U2 starts a pre-programmed 15-minute timer, enabling the aging cabinet to charge the PACK battery pack for 15 minutes via the P1+ channel.

[0038] After the 15-minute timer expires, microcontroller U2 first sends control signals via DFETOFF and CFETOFF to turn on the discharge MOSFETs QD21, QD22, QD23, and QD24 and the charging MOSFETs QC21, QC22, QC23, and QC24 in the P2+ channel. Four seconds later, microcontroller U2 turns off the PREDSG and PRECHG control signals, causing the discharge MOSFETs QD11, QD12, QD13, and QD14 and the charging MOSFETs QC11, QC12, QC13, and QC14 in the P1+ channel to turn off. Simultaneously, microcontroller U2 resets the 15-minute timer, and the aging cabinet can then charge the PACK battery pack for 15 minutes via the P2+ channel.

[0039] The charging operation is controlled by alternately switching between channels P1+ and P2+. When charging is complete, the battery pack shuts down the charging MOS, and the aging chamber stops charging. At this time, the battery pack provides voltage through P1+, which is then supplied to U1 via D3. U1, acting as a DC-DC circuit, converts the voltage to DC 3.3V, which is then supplied to the microcontroller U2 via D1 as its operating voltage, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the microcontroller U2.

[0040] After the aging chamber has settled, the battery pack automatically enters the discharge step. During discharge, the microcontroller U2 alternately switches between controlling channels P1+ and P2+. This way, a single battery pack only needs to undergo one charge-discharge aging test cycle to simultaneously test both independent channels, thus halving the original aging time and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
