[0041] The application optimizes the circuit for the battery management system, simplifies the circuit structure, and reduces the hardware cost. A single processing chip 100 is used for control management. When charging is needed, the charging control pin of the processing chip 100 first controls the auxiliary driving module 500 to work, and then drives the charging driving module 600 through the auxiliary driving module 500, so that the charging driving module 600 is quickly turned on to work, the charging path between the external connection interface 300 and the battery connection interface 200 is turned on, that is, the charging path between the battery pack and the charging device is turned on, and fast and stable charging of the battery pack is realized.

[0043] The first triode G1 and the second triode G2 can be PNP type triodes.

[0044] When the battery pack needs to be charged, the charging control pin of the processing chip 100 outputs a second level signal (such as a high level signal), the second level signal is transmitted to the base of the second transistor G2, and then the second transistor G2 and the first transistor G1 are sequentially turned on, after two-stage transistor current amplification, an amplified driving current is generated, and the amplified driving current is transmitted to the charging driving module 600, and then the charging driving module 600 realizes fast conduction work according to the amplified driving current, so that the charging path between the battery connection interface 200 and the external connection interface 300 is turned on, thereby realizing that the charging equipment quickly charges the battery pack.

[0045] In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 2, the battery connection interface 200 includes a total negative port 210, the external connection interface 300 includes a first connection port 310, and the charging driving module 600 includes a plurality of charging driving units 610, and the control ends of the charging driving units 610 are respectively connected to the auxiliary driving module 500; the charging driving units 610 are connected in parallel between the total negative port 210 and the first connection port 310.

[0046] The first connection port 310 is a negative connection port. For example, when the first connection port 310 is connected to a load, the first connection port 310 is a negative connection port of the load, and when the first connection port 310 is connected to a charging equipment, the first connection port 310 is a negative connection port of the charging equipment.

[0047] The charging driving module 600 can be composed of a plurality of charging driving units 610. It should be noted that the number of charging driving units 610 is determined according to the power of the battery pack, and the greater the number of charging driving units 610, the stronger the charging driving energy.

[0048] For example, the charging driving module 600 can include 6 charging driving units 610, the 6 charging driving units 610 are connected in parallel between the total negative port 210 and the first connection port 310, the control ends of the charging driving units 610 are respectively electrically connected to the auxiliary driving module 500, and then when the battery pack needs to be charged, the charging control pin of the processing chip 100 can transmit a second level signal to the auxiliary driving module 500, the auxiliary driving module 500 amplifies the driving current according to the second level signal, and transmits the amplified driving current to the charging driving units 610, and the charging driving units 610 realize fast conduction work according to the amplified driving current, so that the charging path between the battery connection interface 200 and the external connection interface 300 is turned on, thereby realizing that the charging equipment quickly charges the battery pack.

[0049] In one example, as shown in FIG. 2, the charging driving unit 610 includes a first switch tube G11 and a third resistor R3; a first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the auxiliary driving module 500, a second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to a gate of the first switch tube G11, a drain of the first switch tube G11 is connected to the total negative port 210, and a source of the first switch tube G11 is connected to the first connection port 310.

[0050] In the formula, the first switch tube G11 can be an N-type MOS tube; and the third resistor R3 is a current-limiting resistor.

[0052] The single processing chip 100 is used for control management, when charging is needed, the charging control pin of the processing chip 100 first controls the auxiliary driving module 500 to work, and then drives the charging driving module 600 through the auxiliary driving module 500, so that the charging driving module 600 is quickly turned on and works, and the charging path between the external connection interface 300 and the battery connection interface 200 is turned on, that is, the charging path between the battery pack and the charging device is turned on, thereby realizing fast and stable charging of the battery pack. Through the optimization design of the circuit for the battery management system, the circuit structure is simplified, the hardware cost is reduced, and the anti-interference ability and discharge management reliability of the circuit are improved.

[0054] The discharging driving module 400 can be composed of a plurality of discharging driving units 410. It should be noted that the number of the discharging driving units 410 is determined according to the power of the battery pack, and the greater the number of the discharging driving units 410, the stronger the discharging driving energy.

[0055] For example, the discharging driving module 400 can include 6 discharging driving units 410, which are connected in parallel between the total negative port 210 and the charging driving unit 610, and the control end of each discharging driving unit 410 is electrically connected to the discharging control pin of the processing chip 100. When the battery pack needs to be discharged, the discharging control pin of the processing chip 100 can transmit a first level signal to each discharging driving unit 410, and the discharging driving unit 410 can realize fast conduction work according to the first level signal, so that the discharging path between the battery connection interface 200 and the external connection interface 300 is conducted, thereby realizing fast discharging of the battery pack to the load.

[0056] In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the discharging driving unit 410 includes a second switch tube G12 and a fourth resistor R4; the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the discharging control pin, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the gate of the second switch tube G12, the source of the second switch tube G12 is connected to the total negative port 210, and the drain of the second switch tube G12 is connected to the discharging driving unit 410.

[0057] In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the discharging driving unit 410 includes a second switch tube G12 and a fourth resistor R4; the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the discharging control pin, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the gate of the second switch tube G12, the source of the second switch tube G12 is connected to the total negative port 210, and the drain of the second switch tube G12 is connected to the discharging driving unit 410.

[0058] When the battery pack needs to be discharged, the discharging control pin of the processing chip 100 outputs a first level signal, the first level signal is transmitted to the gate of the second switch tube G12 of the same discharging driving unit 410 through the fourth resistor R4 of the corresponding discharging driving unit 410, and the second switch tube G12 realizes fast conduction according to the first level signal, so that the discharging path between the battery connection interface 200 and the external connection interface 300 is conducted, thereby realizing fast discharging of the battery pack to the load.

[0059] When the battery pack needs to be discharged, the discharging control pin of the processing chip 100 outputs a first level signal, the first level signal is transmitted to the gate of the second switch tube G12 of the same discharging driving unit 410 through the fourth resistor R4 of the corresponding discharging driving unit 410, and the second switch tube G12 realizes fast conduction according to the first level signal, so that the discharging path between the battery connection interface 200 and the external connection interface 300 is conducted, thereby realizing fast discharging of the battery pack to the load.

[0060] In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 4, the circuit for the battery management system further includes a plurality of equalization modules 700, the battery pin group includes a plurality of battery connection pins, and the battery connection interface 200 includes a plurality of cell connection ports 220; the first end of each equalization module 700 is connected to each battery connection pin one by one, and the second end of each equalization module 700 is connected to each cell connection port 220 one by one.

[0061] The number of the equalization modules 700 is determined according to the number of the cell connection ports 220. For example, if the battery connection interface 200 includes 16 cell connection ports 220, then the number of the equalization modules 700 is 16. The battery group equalization module 700 can be used to equalize and adjust the charging and discharging voltage of the single cell. The battery pin group can include 17 battery connection pins (such as pins VC0 to VC16). The battery connection interface 200 can include 17 cell connection ports 220 (such as B0 to B16), and the battery connection interface 200 can be plugged into 6 to 16 single cells connected in series.

[0062] The first end of each equalization module 700 is electrically connected to each battery connection pin one by one, and the second end of each equalization module 700 is electrically connected to each cell connection port 220 one by one. Then, the adjacent two battery connection pins of the processing chip 100 can detect the voltage of the corresponding single cell in real time. When the voltage of the corresponding single cell reaches the equalization condition (for example, when the voltage is greater than a preset threshold), the processing chip 100 transmits an equalization driving signal to the corresponding equalization module 700 through the corresponding battery connection pin, and then the corresponding equalization module 700 is turned on to work, so that the equalization module 700 and the corresponding single cell form an external equalization discharge loop, and the corresponding single cell is controlled to discharge, so that the voltage of each single cell of the battery group reaches equalization.

[0063] In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 5, the equalization module 700 includes a third transistor G3, a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2.

The second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the cell connection port 220 corresponding to the positive electrode of the same single cell, the first end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the second end of the fifth resistor R5, and the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the battery connection pin corresponding to the positive electrode of the same single cell. The first capacitor C1 is connected between the second end of the eighth resistor R8 and the second end of the seventh resistor R7. The second capacitor C2 is connected between the second end of the seventh resistor R7 and the ground.

[0064] The third transistor G3 can be an NPN transistor. The eighth resistor R8 and the first capacitor C1 form a filter circuit, the fifth resistor R5 is a discharge load resistor, the sixth resistor R6 is a current limiting resistor, and the seventh resistor R7 and the second capacitor C2 form another filter circuit.

When the voltage of the corresponding single battery reaches the equalization condition (for example, the voltage is greater than a preset threshold), the processing chip 100 outputs an equalization driving signal through the battery connection pin VC0, the equalization driving signal is transmitted to the base of the third transistor G3 through the sixth resistor R6, the third transistor G3 is turned on, and then an external equalization discharge loop is formed among the third transistor G3, the fifth resistor R5 and the corresponding single battery, so as to control the corresponding single battery to discharge, so that the voltages of the single batteries in the battery pack reach equalization.
