Technical Field

[0001] Cross - reference to Related Applications This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210756825.0, titled "BATTERY MANAGEMENT CHIP AND SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE", filed on June 30, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly, to battery management chips and systems, and vehicles.

Background Art

[0003] A battery management system (BMS) mainly acquires the voltage, current, temperature, dynamic internal resistance, and other data of a battery pack, and transmits the data using a conventional wiring harness communication mode to an upper - level control module, thereby realizing interactive control of data transmission.

[0004] Currently, a battery pack composed of multiple battery cells is monitored by a battery management chip. The high voltage of the battery pack poses a major challenge to the process and safety of the battery management chip. Secondly, the normal operation of the battery management chip requires a low voltage. To ensure the consistency of all the electrical quantities of the battery cells in the battery pack, it is necessary to obtain power from the total voltage and obtain the voltage that the chip can use after step-down processing, which increases the unnecessary energy loss of the battery cells. In addition, the battery management chip monitors multiple battery cells simultaneously, and there is a risk that the chip may malfunction during the long-term operation of the vehicle, resulting in the loss of cell data of multiple battery cells and an increase in the failure rate of the vehicle. Finally, although multiple battery cells are monitored by the management chip, the management chip will use a complex sampling wiring harness and connectors, which will simultaneously complicate the design of the sampling board of the battery management chip. On the one hand, it will lead to a sharp increase in cost, and on the other hand, the stability and reliability of the harness connectors will increase the failure rate of the vehicle. At the same time, the boost circuit of the electronic power technology cannot guarantee the normal operation of the chip under a wide range of low voltages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0039] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are examples.

[0040] The battery management chip acquires voltage data, current data, temperature data, and resistance data of battery cells, and transmits the data to a control module. As a result, the control module can analyze and process the data to realize the operation of the battery cells.

[0041] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, a battery management chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described as an example.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, a battery management chip 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a battery cell data sampling module 10, a data processing module 11, a first communication module 12, and a first power module 13.

[0043] The battery cell data sampling module 10 is configured to acquire battery cell data of a battery cell (BC). The data processing module 11 is connected to the battery cell data sampling module 10 and is used to process the battery cell data. The first communication module 12 is connected to the data processing module 11 and is used to transmit the processed battery cell data to the control module. The first power module 13 is connected to the battery cell and the data processing module 11, receives the initial voltage output by the battery cell, and is used to perform a boost process on the initial voltage to provide an operating voltage to the data processing module 11. It can be understood that the battery management chip 1 is connected corresponding to a single battery cell, avoiding the battery cell from operating under high voltage, thereby avoiding the problem that the battery cell needs to be bucked to supply power to the battery management chip 1 and reducing unnecessary energy loss. Furthermore, the battery management chip is connected to a single battery cell to detect the single battery cell, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the battery management chip failing during long-term operation of the vehicle and reducing the failure rate of the vehicle. Finally, since the battery management chip is connected to a single battery cell, the use of wiring harnesses and connectors can be greatly reduced, the complexity of chip design can be reduced, and the design becomes more flexible.

[0044] In one embodiment, when the battery management chip 1 receives a valid operation command such as a voltage acquisition command, the battery cell data sampling module 10 of the battery cell acquires the battery cell data of the battery cell according to the received corresponding operation command. Since the initial voltage of the battery cell is a wide-range low voltage signal, for example, the initial voltage of the battery cell is between 2.5V and 5.5V, the normal operation of the battery management chip 1 cannot be guaranteed. At this point, in order to provide an operating voltage for the normal operation of the data processing module 11, the initial voltage of the battery cell is boosted by the first power module 13. For example, the operating voltage after the boosting process is between 3.3V and 5V. As a result, after receiving the battery cell data transmitted by the battery cell data sampling module 10, the data processing module 11 processes the battery cell data and transmits the processed battery cell data to the control module via the first communication module 12. The control module analyzes and processes the received battery cell data and issues a corresponding operation command to the battery cell. By setting the first power module 13, the initial voltage output from the battery cell is boosted to provide an operating voltage for the data processing module 11. As a result, the battery management chip 1 can operate normally under a wide range of low voltages.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a battery management chip boosts the initial voltage output by a battery cell through a first power module, provides an operating voltage to a data processing module, ensures that the battery management chip can operate at a wide range of low voltages, and monitors one battery cell through one battery management chip. The first aspect is that the battery management chip does not need to face the high voltage generated by a plurality of series-connected battery cells, avoids the battery cells operating under high voltage to avoid unnecessary energy loss, thereby reducing the process requirements of chip manufacturing and saving energy consumption. The second aspect is that the failure risk of the chip can be reduced, the data of a plurality of battery cells can be avoided from being lost at one time, and the failure rate of the vehicle is reduced. The third aspect is that the flexibility of the battery management chip can be improved, the use of a large number of wiring harnesses and connectors can be reduced, the complexity of the battery management chip can be reduced, and the stability and reliability of the battery management chip can be improved.

[0046] For example, FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a first power module 13 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first power module 13 includes an input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, a boost circuit unit 131, and an output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132. The input terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 is connected to the voltage output terminal of the battery cell, reduces the voltage ripple interference of the initial voltage output by the battery cell, and is used to output a DC voltage. The boost circuit unit 131 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 and is used to boost the DC voltage to obtain an initial target voltage. The output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 is connected to the boost circuit unit 131, filters and stabilizes the initial target voltage to obtain a target voltage, outputs the target voltage, and is used to provide an operating voltage to the data processing module 11.

[0047] In an embodiment, the initial voltage is provided by a single battery cell. After the single battery cell outputs the initial voltage, the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 receives the initial voltage, reduces the voltage ripple interference of the initial voltage to obtain a relatively stable DC voltage, and outputs the DC voltage. The output DC voltage is boosted by the boost circuit unit 131 to obtain the initial target voltage, and the initial target voltage is transmitted to the output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132. The output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 performs filtering and stabilization on the received initial target voltage to obtain the target voltage, outputs the target voltage to the data processing module 11, and provides the operating voltage to the data processing module 11. It can be understood that the initial voltage is a wide range of low voltages, and in order to obtain the initial target voltage, the DC voltage, which is the initial voltage with the voltage ripple interference removed, is processed by the boost circuit unit 131. The initial target voltage provides the operating voltage for the normal operation of the battery management chip 1. The initial target voltage is stabilized and filtered to obtain a relatively stable initial target voltage, and the relatively stable initial target voltage is adopted as the target voltage. The initial voltage output from the battery cell is boosted by the boost circuit unit 131 to provide the operating voltage to the data processing module 11, ensuring that the battery management chip can operate at a wide range of low voltages.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the boost circuit unit 131 is integrally arranged in the first power module 13. By integrating the boost circuit unit 131 into the first power module 13, it is possible to save the layout space and reduce the cost compared with the case of using devices that cannot be integrated, such as inductors and transformers.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the first power module 13 further includes a sampling feedback unit 133. The sampling feedback unit 133 is connected to the output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 and the boost circuit unit 131 respectively, and is used to obtain the voltage value of the target voltage and feedback the voltage value of the target voltage to the boost circuit unit 131. The boost circuit unit 131 is further used to receive the voltage value of the target voltage and adjust the boost operation of the DC voltage based on the voltage value of the target voltage. As a result, the initial target voltage output after adjustment is filtered and stabilized by the output filtering stabilization circuit unit 132, and the output target voltage is within a preset voltage range.

[0050] In one embodiment, the preset voltage range is a voltage range that guarantees the normal operation of the battery management chip 1, for example, 3.3V to 5V. Considering that the current consumption of the battery management chip 1 varies depending on the operation mode and the target voltage changes greatly, after the output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 outputs the target voltage, at this time, the sampling feedback unit 133 detects the initial target voltage, and the boost operation of the boost circuit unit 131 is adjusted in real time based on the voltage value of the target voltage to ensure that the output target voltage is within the preset voltage range. In other words, it is guaranteed that the output target voltage does not change greatly due to the change of the operation mode.

[0051] In some embodiments, FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the boost circuit unit 131 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The boost circuit unit 131 includes a PWM generation circuit subunit 134, where the first terminal of the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, the second terminal of the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 is grounded, and the third terminal of the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 is used to output a PWM signal, and a charge pump boost subunit 135, where the first terminal of the charge pump boost subunit 135 is connected to the third terminal of the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 and is used to adjust the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal in real time until an initial target voltage is obtained. Among them, the charge pump boost subunit 135 adopts the principle of charge pump circuit boosting and operates by charge transfer. The pump capacitor can transfer charges from the input terminal to the output terminal to provide the current required by the load, adopts a capacitor for storing energy, has no EMI interference, little noise, low cost, small quiescent current, small output voltage ripple, and can provide high-current operation through feedback adjustment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the front stage of the boost circuit unit 131 is the PWM generation circuit subunit 134, and the rear stage is the charge pump boost subunit 135. The charge pump boost subunit 135 controls the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal. The boost circuit unit 131 continuously boosts the DC voltage through the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 and the charge pump boost subunit 135 until an initial target voltage is obtained.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 includes an energy storage subunit C1, a waveform generation subunit 136, a voltage follower circuit 137, a first comparator Q1, a second comparator Q2, a charge and discharge capacitor C2, and a duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1. Among these, one terminal of the energy storage subunit C1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the other terminal of the energy storage subunit C1 is grounded. The first terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the second terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136 is grounded. The first terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the third terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137 is grounded. The positive phase input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is connected to the first terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136. The positive phase input terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the third terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137, the inverting input terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the output terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the first terminal of the charge pump boost subunit 135. One terminal of the charge and discharge capacitor C2 is connected to the inverting input terminals of the first comparator Q1 and the second comparator Q2, and the other terminal of the charge and discharge capacitor C2 is grounded. One terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the other terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is connected to the second terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137.

[0054] In an embodiment, the charge and discharge capacitor C2 and the first comparator Q1 within the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 output a sawtooth wave, and the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is adjusted to output a PWM signal for use in a subsequent circuit via the voltage follower circuit 137 and the second comparator Q2.

[0055] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the waveform generation subunit 136 includes a voltage adjustment subunit and a charge / discharge subunit. The voltage adjustment subunit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a fourth resistor R4. The charge / discharge subunit includes a fifth resistor R5. One terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130. One terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130. One terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the other terminal of the first resistor R1, and the other terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the other terminal of the second resistor R2. One terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the positive-phase input terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the other terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. One terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the output terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the other terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to one terminal of the charge / discharge capacitor C2.

[0056] It is understood that the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 can be divided into three stages when outputting a PWM pulse waveform. In the first stage, the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is 0, and the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal is R4*VBAT / (R4+((R2+R3) / / R1)).

[0063] The PWM wave outputs the PWM1 waveform via the inverter 138 and outputs the PWM2 waveform on another path that does not pass through the inverter 138. It should be understood that the waveform passing through the inverter 138 is opposite to the waveform not passing through the inverter 138.

[0064] In the embodiment, after the operation of the boost circuit unit 131, in the first half cycle, PWM2 is low, the PWM generation circuit sub-unit 134 is low, and the first switch transistor Q4 and the third switch transistor Q6 are controlled to be switched on to charge the pump capacitor CE1.

[0067] Currently, the communication modes adopted by general battery management chips mainly are twisted pair daisy chain cables. For this wired communication mode using twisted pair daisy chain cables, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of vehicle communication in a complex interference environment, it is necessary to add insulation devices and electromagnetic compatibility protection devices to the communication terminals. Second, when the twisted pair daisy chain cable wired communication mode synchronously monitors battery cell information, due to the requirements of serial transmission mode and bidirectional transmission, data reception is delayed, and the demand for timing processing in synchronous monitoring increases. Finally, the wired communication method requires wiring harnesses and connectors, which also pose great challenges to the reliability, stability, and cost of wiring harness connectors.

Second, the communication mode of the first wireless communication unit is adopted. Compared with the wired communication mode using twisted pair daisy chain cables, the wireless communication mode makes the interaction of information more flexible and convenient, realizes natural time synchronization measurement, and supports more synchronization induction functions. Furthermore, it can avoid the problem of battery information loss caused by wiring harnesses and improve the safety of the entire vehicle. Finally, by reducing complex wiring harnesses and connectors, the weight and complexity of the entire vehicle can be reduced, the design flexibility can be improved, and maintenance can be made simpler and more convenient.
