Embodiment
Below coordinate accompanying drawing and Reference numeral to do more detailed description to embodiments of the present invention, make to have the knack of those skilled in the art and studying carefully after this specification and can implement according to this.
Please also refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, according to operational flowchart and the system schematic of the determination methods of first embodiment of the invention charging end point.Determination methods of the present invention is mainly the charging end point that judges rechargeable battery in the constant-voltage charge after constant-current charge, uses complete charge operation.The whole charging operations of rechargeable battery comprises the constant-current charge and the constant-voltage charge that sequentially carry out, wherein in the time of constant-voltage charge, charged electrical fails to be convened for lack of a quorum and fills gradually full reduction with rechargeable battery, and determination methods of the present invention is in order to judge the charging end point of rechargeable battery when the constant-voltage charge.
Particularly, determination methods of the present invention is to utilize charging device to charge to rechargeable battery unit B T, and charging device can comprise power input unit 10, switching transistor 30, pulse width modulation (PWM) driving governor 20, charging inductance L and sensing resistor RS.
Above-mentioned rechargeable battery unit B T is limited to a rechargeable battery unit, unit, but can comprise by rechargeable battery unit, at least one unit through in parallel and/or be connected in series the rechargeable battery set that combines one.
The charging method of first embodiment of the invention judgement charging end point is from step S10, mainly to utilize power input unit 10 to receive input power Vin, such as civil power, other interchange or DC power supply, and produce dividing voltage supply and out-put supply through suitably processing, such as dividing potential drop, filtering and/or rectification processing.
Then, enter step S20, the dividing voltage supply that utilizes pulse width modulation (PWM) driving governor 20 to receive from power input unit 10, to be used as supply power supply, and produces PWM driving signal.
In step S30, utilize switching transistor 30 to receive the out-put supply from power input unit 10, and drive the switching of signal controlling switching transistor 30 to move by PWM, and then utilize out-put supply to produce charging current I.Particularly, switching transistor 30 can be power transistor, such as MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistor (MOS), wherein the gate of switching transistor 30 is connected to PWM and drives signal, therefore, PWM drives signal can control switching transistor 30 for conducting or close, that is makes the out-put supply can be via switching transistor 30 with the form transmission of charging current I.
Then in step S40, utilize charging inductance L to be electrically connected to switching transistor 30 to receive charging current I, and utilize charging current I to carry out charging operations to the rechargeable battery unit B T that is electrically connected to charging inductance L.In addition, rechargeable battery unit B T is through sensing resistor RS and ground connection, and the current sensor IS that flows through sensing resistor RS can produce sensing voltage VS on sensing resistor RS, that is one end of sensing resistor RS is ground connection, and the other end of sensing resistor RS is connected to rechargeable battery unit B T, therefore the voltage of the other end of sensing resistor RS is sensing voltage VS.
Enter step S50, utilize PWM driving governor 20 to receive sensing voltage VS, and drive the working width of signal according to sensing voltage VS with adjusting PWM, thereby charging current I is formed to feedback control loop, reach the object of constant charge electric current I.Particularly, sensing voltage VS more hour, represent that current sensor IS is too low, that is charging current I is too low, and therefore PWM driving governor 20 need to increase working width, uses and improves charging current I, and vice versa.
Finally perform step S60, utilize relatively working width and the predetermined width of PWM driving signal of PWM driving governor 20, full to judge whether rechargeable battery unit B T has filled, or noly reach the charging end point of charging operations and stop charging operations, to complete whole charging operations.Preferably, predetermined width can be set as PWM drive signal work period 5% to 0.2% between any number, such as 2% of the work period.
Particularly, if working width is greater than predetermined width, also do not reach charging end point, and the lasting PWM driving signal that produces of PWM driving governor 20, make switching transistor 30 that charging current I is provided and rechargeable battery unit B T is charged.Another situation is, if working width is equal to or less than predetermined width, reach charging end point, and PWM driving governor 20 stops producing PWM and drives signal, or drive the working width of signal to be set as zero PWM, use and close switching transistor 30 and stop providing charging current I to charging inductance L, that is finish the charging operations to rechargeable battery unit B T.
Above-mentioned PWM driving governor 20 can be realized by microprocessor (MCU), uses the flow process of carrying out specific firmware program and control whole charging operations.In addition, for further improving the electrical quality of charging current I, such as filtering noise, can be as shown in Figure 2, utilize filter capacitor C that the serial connection point of charging inductance L and rechargeable battery unit B T is connected to ground connection.
In addition, with further reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, be respectively operational flowchart and the system schematic of the determination methods of second embodiment of the invention charging end point, wherein the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, its main difference is that the step S41 of the second embodiment utilizes the charging inductance L of serial connection and sensing resistor RS to charge to rechargeable battery unit with transmission charging current J, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, that is the first embodiment and the second embodiment be the feedback control path that uses different connected modes.Particularly, in the step S41 of the second embodiment, sensing resistor RS is connected between charging inductance L and rechargeable battery unit B T, now, the terminal voltage of sensing resistor RS is required sensing voltage VS, and in the step S40 of the first embodiment, sensing resistor RS is connected between rechargeable battery unit B T and ground connection.
Because all the other operational processes steps of the second embodiment are as the first embodiment, do not repeat them here.
Be noted that further, also can be as shown in Figure 4, utilize filter capacitor C that the serial connection point of charging inductance L and sensing resistor RS is connected to ground connection, use and improve the charging quality of charging current I to rechargeable battery unit B T.
In addition, for further improving the electrical quality of charging current I, such as filtering noise, can be as shown in Figure 2, utilize filter capacitor that the serial connection point of charging inductance L and rechargeable battery unit B T is connected to ground connection.
In sum, feature of the present invention is not use analog hardware mode but utilizes digital processing mode, to judge the full degree of filling of rechargeable battery unit, therefore, the analogue amplifier that does not need high sensitivity and be easily disturbed, and can directly utilize the PWM driving governor of numeral running to drive the work period of signal according to PWM, just can accurately judge whether rechargeable battery unit fills full, and then determine the end point of charging operations.Therefore, the present invention not only can significantly simplify circuit design and physical layout, can also reduce cost of manufacture simultaneously, especially PWM driving governor is originally as digital circuit, therefore can improve noise resisting ability, improve the accuracy of charging end point, stability and the reliability of promoting overall charging operations.
Above said content is only in order to explain preferred embodiment of the present invention; not attempt is done any pro forma restriction to the present invention according to this; therefore, all have under identical invention spirit, do relevant any modification of the present invention or change, all must be included in the category that the invention is intended to protection.
