DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] Hereinafter, in order to allow those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, in the following description, "a second member is formed above a first member" may include an embodiment in which the first member and the second member are formed to be in direct contact with each other, or an embodiment in which the first member and the second member are formed to be in indirect contact with each other (i.e., an additional member may be further included between the first member and the second member).

[0023] For convenience of description, some descriptions may use spatially relative terms such as "above," "below," "top," "below," etc. to describe the relationship of one element or component to another element or component (or several other elements or components) as shown in each drawing of the embodiment.

For example, if the device in the drawing were inverted, an element or component described as "below" or "below" another element or component would then be positioned "above" or "on" the other element or component.

[0024] In view of the problem that the conventional new energy vehicle may have difficulty in normal charging due to inconsistencies in the charging guidance signal standards of new energy vehicles in different countries / regions, an embodiment of the present invention provides a charging guidance signal collection circuit that enables new energy vehicles to adapt to the charging guidance signal standards of new energy vehicles in different countries / regions, thereby eliminating or alleviating the problem that the new energy vehicle has difficulty in normal charging due to inconsistencies in the charging guidance signal standards, thereby improving the charging adaptability of new energy vehicles. Note that the charging guidance signal collection circuit of the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to an on-board charging inlet for new energy vehicles or to a charging station, which can be selected as needed during implementation.

[0025] The term "new energy vehicle" in the embodiments of the present invention refers to a new energy vehicle that is electrically powered and whose power battery can be charged, such as a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the term "charging station" in the embodiments of the present invention refers to a charging station for charging new energy vehicles, and the term "charging guidance signal" in the embodiments of the present invention generally refers to a DC charging guidance signal.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the charging guidance signal collecting circuit may include a signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 and a voltage dividing circuit 40.

[0027] The signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 may receive the charging guidance signal and amplify and filter the received charging guidance signal. Amplification increases the voltage value of the charging guidance signal to exceed the voltage value currently corresponding to the specifications of all (or most) of the charging guidance signal, thereby facilitating voltage division adjustment in the subsequent voltage dividing circuit. In some embodiments, the amplification factor of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 is at least 20 times to provide a sufficient input voltage for voltage division in the subsequent voltage dividing circuit 40. The filtering by the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 can improve the electromagnetic interference prevention performance of the charging guidance signal collecting circuit. In some embodiments, the filter cutoff frequency of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 is 10 to 50 Hz.

[0028] The input terminal of the voltage divider circuit 40 is connected to the output terminal of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30. The voltage divider circuit 40 may adjust the charge guidance signal output after processing by the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 to a target voltage value that meets the electrical requirements of the charge guidance signal input pin of the onboard charge controller. The voltage divider circuit may include at least two series-connected variable resistors (i.e., voltage-dividing resistors with variable resistance), and the resistance of the variable resistor may be variable according to the electrical requirements of the charge guidance signal input pin. The charge guidance signal input pin of different onboard charge controllers has different maximum allowable input voltages, for example, 3.3 V and 5 V. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage divider circuit 40 is designed to have a variable output voltage. Specifically, for a given target voltage, if the voltage value of the charge guidance signal is higher than the target voltage, the output voltage of the voltage divider circuit 40 may be reduced until it becomes equal to the target voltage. In this way, new energy vehicles can adapt to the standards of new energy vehicle charging guidance signals in different countries / regions, thereby eliminating or mitigating the problem of difficulties in normal charging of new energy vehicles due to inconsistencies in charging guidance signal standards, and further improving the charging adaptability of new energy vehicles.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 may include an operational amplifier UA1, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a third capacitor C3, and a fourth capacitor C4. The operational amplifier UA1 has a forward input terminal that receives the charging guidance signal, an output terminal that is connected to the input terminal of the voltage divider circuit 40, one terminal of a third resistor R3 that is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier UA1, the other terminal of the third resistor R3 that is connected to one terminal of a fourth resistor R4 that is connected to the power line ground terminal, a reverse input terminal that is connected to the second junction between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, a positive power supply pin of the operational amplifier UA1 that is connected to a DC power supply (e.g., +12V in FIG. 2), and a negative power supply pin of the operational amplifier UA1 that is connected to the power line ground terminal, and the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 form an amplification factor adjustment circuit for the operational amplifier UA1 so that the output terminal of the operational amplifier UA1 can output a charging guidance signal that satisfies a set amplification factor. Here, the amplification factor of the amplification factor adjustment circuit is

number

[0030] Because the operational amplifier UA1 has a high input impedance and a large common-mode suppression ratio, the charging guidance signal output after being processed by the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 is more stable than the received charging guidance signal. In addition, because the operational amplifier UA1 has a small output impedance, the subsequent voltage dividing circuit 40 can have a stronger load driving capability.

[0031] 2, one end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the parallel input terminal of the operational amplifier UA1, and the other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the ground terminal. This capacitor C3 filters out electromagnetic interference at the parallel input terminal of the operational amplifier UA1, thereby improving the electromagnetic interference protection performance of the parallel input terminal of the operational amplifier UA1. One end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier UA1, and the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the second connection point. This capacitor C4 filters out electromagnetic interference at the output terminal of the operational amplifier UA1, thereby improving the electromagnetic interference protection performance of the output terminal of the operational amplifier UA1.

[0032] 2, in some embodiments, the voltage dividing circuit 40 may include a first variable resistor R5 and a second variable resistor R6. One end of the first variable resistor R5 is connected to the output end of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit UA1, the other end of the first variable resistor R5 is connected to one end of the second variable resistor R6, the other end of the second variable resistor R6 is connected to the power line ground terminal, and the third connection point between the first variable resistor R5 and the second variable resistor R6 forms the output end of the charging guidance signal collecting circuit.

[0033] In this way, a simple double resistor voltage divider circuit can be used to achieve compatibility between the electrical requirements of the charging guidance signal and the charging guidance signal input pin of the on-board charging controller, and is also advantageous in reducing implementation costs and improving reliability. Here, the resistance relationship between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 is determined by the voltage divider ratio (i.e.,

number

[0034] For example, in one embodiment, the allowable input voltage of the charging guidance signal input pin of some onboard charging controllers is 5V, but the charging guidance signal output from the charging station is often 12V. To ensure normal operation of the onboard charging controller, the adjusted output voltage of the voltage divider circuit 40 should not be higher than 5V. In this case, the impedance ratio between the first variable resistor R5 and the second variable resistor R6 should be 52.3 or greater. To achieve the impedance ratio between the first variable resistor R5 and the second variable resistor R6 of 52.3 or greater, the ratio between the minimum resistance value of the first variable resistor R5 and the maximum resistance value of the second variable resistor R6 should be 52.3 or greater. If the allowable input voltage of the charging guidance signal input pin of some other on-board charging controllers is lower than 5V (e.g., 3.3V), the impedance ratio between the first variable resistor R5 and the second variable resistor R6 should be larger, which can be achieved by increasing the resistance value of the first variable resistor R5 and / or decreasing the resistance value of the second variable resistor R6, so that the voltage range that can be output by the voltage divider circuit 40 can meet the standards for charging guidance signals for new energy vehicles in different countries / regions.

[0035] In some embodiments, the voltage division ratio of the voltage divider circuit 40 can be adjusted by manually adjusting the resistance value linearly or stepwise using an adjustment knob, i.e., the resistance value of the first variable resistor R5 and / or the second variable resistor R6 can be changed using an adjustment knob, and such adjustment is low cost. In other embodiments, the first variable resistor R5 and the second variable resistor R6 of the voltage divider circuit 40 may be configured with a structure that allows easy installation and removal, so that when the voltage division ratio of the voltage divider circuit 40 needs to be adjusted, the first variable resistor R5 and / or the second variable resistor R6 can be replaced.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3 , in some other embodiments, the charging guidance signal collecting circuit may further include a pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20. The input terminal of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may receive the charging guidance signal, and the output terminal of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may be connected to the input terminal of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30. The pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may receive the charging guidance signal and step down the charging guidance signal using a voltage division method to provide an amplification space for the signal amplifying and filtering circuit. In some embodiments, the step-down factor of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 is at least 20 times. Such step-down by the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may also be beneficial for the charging guidance signal to meet the input voltage requirements of the input terminal of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30 (i.e., for the voltage value of the charging guidance signal to be within the allowable input voltage range of the input terminal of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30).

[0037] 4, in some embodiments, the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may include a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. One end of the first resistor R1 is the input end of the charging guidance signal collecting circuit, and the first resistor R1 receives the charging guidance signal. The other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the second resistor R2, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the power line ground terminal. The first connection point between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 may form the output end of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20. The voltage division principle, namely,

[0038] 5, in some other embodiments, the charging guidance signal collection circuit may further include a filter circuit 10 in addition to the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20, the signal amplifying and filtering circuit 30, and the voltage divider circuit 40. The input end of the filter circuit 10 is the input end of the charging guidance signal collection circuit and receives the original charging guidance signal, and the output end of the filter circuit 10 is connected to the input end of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20. The filter circuit 10 filters out electromagnetic interference in the original charging guidance signal, and through precise filtering, can further improve the electromagnetic interference prevention capability of the charging guidance signal collection circuit.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, the original charging guidance signal refers to the charging guidance signal that has not been processed by the charging guidance signal collection circuit of the embodiment of the present invention. According to different application scenarios, the source of the original charging guidance signal is also different.

[0040] For example, in some embodiments, when the charging guidance signal collection circuit is applied to a scenario of an on-board charging inlet for a new energy vehicle, the original charging guidance signal may be provided from the charging guidance signal receiving terminal of the on-board charging inlet for a new energy vehicle, that is, the charging guidance signal receiving terminal may receive the charging guidance signal transmitted from the charging station and provide the charging guidance signal to the charging guidance signal collection circuit.

[0041] In some other embodiments, when the charging guidance signal collection circuit is applied to a charging station scenario, the original charging guidance signal may be provided from the charging guidance signal output terminal of the charging station, that is, a charging guidance signal collection circuit is added between the charging guidance signal output terminal and the charging guidance signal generation circuit, so that the charging guidance signal generated by the charging guidance signal generation circuit can be adjusted to an appropriate value by the charging guidance signal collection circuit, and the adjusted charging guidance signal can be provided to the on-board charging inlet for new energy vehicles via the charging guidance signal output terminal.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the filter circuit 10 may include a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a first ferrite bead FB1, and an inductor FB2, where the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the first ferrite bead FB1 form a π filter to filter out high-frequency electromagnetic interference in the original charging guidance signal, and the inductor FB2 is connected to the π filter to filter out electromagnetic interference other than the cutoff frequency of the π filter. The input terminal of the first ferrite bead FB1 is connected to the input terminal of the charge guidance signal collecting circuit, the output terminal of the first ferrite bead FB1 is connected to the input terminal of the inductor FB2, the output terminal of the inductor FB2 is connected to the input terminal of the pre-stage voltage divider circuit, one terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the input terminal of the first ferrite bead FB1, the other terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the protective ground terminal, one terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the output terminal of the first ferrite bead FB1, and the other terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the protective ground terminal. By directly connecting the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 of the π-type filter to the protective ground terminal, interference with the secondary circuit (i.e., the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20) can be minimized.

[0043] In order to ensure that inductor FB2 can eliminate electromagnetic interference at frequencies other than the cutoff frequency of the π filter, it is necessary to first determine the cutoff frequency of the π filter and then select an inductor FB2 with appropriate parameters. For example, if the cutoff frequency of the π filter is 50 Hz, it is necessary to select an inductor FB2 that can eliminate interference in the 0 to 50 Hz range. In other embodiments, depending on actual needs, the first ferrite bead FB1 may be replaced with an inductor, and the inductor FB2 may be replaced with a ferrite bead.

[0044] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in other embodiments, the pre-stage voltage divider circuit 20 may be replaced by any other appropriate DC step-down circuit, the signal amplifier filter circuit 30 may be replaced by any other appropriate filter amplifier circuit, and the voltage divider circuit 40 may be replaced by any other appropriate DC step-down circuit.

[0045] For example, in some embodiments, the voltage divider circuit 40 may be replaced with a variable DC converter circuit, and the controller may obtain the output voltage of the DC converter circuit and compare it with a target value. If the output voltage of the DC converter circuit does not match the target value, the controller (e.g., an MCU, single-chip microcomputer, etc.) may output a pulse signal to adjust the duty cycle of the switching transistor of the DC converter circuit until the output voltage of the DC converter circuit matches the target value, thereby achieving automatic control. This control method is more accurate and efficient and eliminates the need for manual adjustment. Here, if the charging guidance signal collection circuit is applied to an on-board charging inlet for a new energy vehicle, the controller may be an on-board charging controller. If the charging guidance signal collection circuit is applied to a charging station, the controller may be a charging station controller. This can be advantageous for making full use of original components and reducing implementation costs.

[0046] For convenience of description, the charging guidance signal collection circuit will be described by dividing it into various units according to their functions. Of course, in implementing the present invention, the functions of each unit may be realized by the same or multiple pieces of software and / or hardware.

[0047] 7, in some embodiments, the charging guidance signal collection circuit further includes a second ferrite bead FB3, one end of which is connected to the ground terminal of the charging guidance signal collection circuit and the other end of which is connected to the protective ground terminal, and the second ferrite bead FB3 may provide high-frequency isolation between the ground terminal and the protective ground terminal, thereby satisfying the requirements for anti-interference connection and common effective connection between the protective ground terminal and the ground terminal.

[0048] As described above, the charging guidance signal collection circuit of the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to collecting all conventional charging guidance signals, has strong anti-interference capability, and can ensure normal charging of new energy vehicles in various complex environments. The application scenario of the charging guidance signal collection circuit of the embodiment of the present invention is flexible, and it also leaves room for modification to accommodate future changes in charging guidance signal specifications, and the modification work is very simple.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 8 , an embodiment of the present invention further provides an on-board charging inlet 100 for a new energy vehicle, including a charging guidance signal receiving terminal and a charging guidance signal collecting circuit. The input terminal of the charging guidance signal collecting circuit is connected to the output terminal of the charging guidance signal receiving terminal, and the output terminal of the charging guidance signal collecting circuit may be connected to a charging guidance signal input pin of an on-board charging controller. The charging guidance signal receiving terminal is connected to a charging stand to charge the new energy vehicle. After the charging guidance signal receiving terminal is connected to the charging stand, the charging stand may send a charging guidance signal to the on-board charging controller. The charging guidance signal collecting circuit can adjust a charging guidance signal of any standard to a voltage value that meets the electrical requirements of the charging guidance signal input pin of the on-board charging controller, allowing new energy vehicles to adapt to the charging guidance signal standards of new energy vehicles in different countries / regions, thereby eliminating or alleviating the problem of difficulties in normal charging of new energy vehicles due to inconsistent charging guidance signal standards and further improving the charging adaptability of new energy vehicles.

[0050] In some embodiments of the on-board charging inlet for new energy vehicles, the charging guidance signal collecting circuit comprises: a signal amplification and filtering circuit for receiving the charging guidance signal and amplifying and filtering the received charging guidance signal; a voltage divider circuit having an input terminal connected to an output terminal of the signal amplifying and filtering circuit, for adjusting the charging guidance signal processed by the signal amplifying and filtering circuit to a target value which is a voltage value that satisfies an electrical requirement of a charging guidance signal input pin of the on-board charging controller; The voltage divider circuit includes at least two series-connected variable resistors, and the resistance value of the variable resistors may be variable according to the electrical requirements of the charge guidance signal input pin.
