Description
本發明涉及一種電池模組的充電方法及裝置,可調整電流方向,針對電壓較低之電芯,進行充電的多段式電池模組充電方法及裝置。The invention relates to a charging method and device for a battery module, a method and a device for charging a multi-stage battery module capable of adjusting a current direction and charging a battery with a lower voltage.
傳統對電池模組的充電,多採取單串電池組或電池整體模組的狀態進行多段式充電,第一階段為定電流充電,第二階段為定電壓充電。如第五圖所示為一傳統電池充電狀態示意圖。電池第一階段(t=t0~t1)進行定電流(IB)充電,曲線(VPC)代表電池模組電壓的變化。當電池模組電壓達到電器提供的電壓(Vinc)時,則進入第二階段(t=t1~t2)定電壓(Vinc)充電,直到電池模組充飽(t=t2)為止。此做法是先提供一定電流對電池模組充電一段時間至預設電壓,充電過程中不僅溫度會隨之升高,且因是對電池模組整體的電壓進行充電,並無法針對其中各個電芯的充電狀態做調整,但每個電芯的電阻值、初始電壓未必相同,因此充電達預設電壓的過程中,有可能某一電芯或電芯組之電壓已經超過安全值(即每一電芯或每一電芯組之間的電壓不平衡),會造成電池模組過熱而影響壽命的問題。Traditionally, the battery module is charged by multi-stage charging in the state of a single string battery pack or a battery module. The first phase is constant current charging, and the second phase is constant voltage charging. As shown in the fifth figure, a schematic diagram of a conventional battery charging state is shown. The first stage of the battery (t = t 0 ~ t 1 ) performs constant current (I B ) charging, and the curve (V PC ) represents the change in the voltage of the battery module. When the voltage of the battery module reaches the voltage (V inc ) provided by the appliance, it enters the second phase (t=t 1 ~ t 2 ) and the voltage is fixed (V inc ) until the battery module is full (t=t 2 ). until. This method first provides a certain current to charge the battery module for a period of time to a preset voltage. In the charging process, not only the temperature will rise, but also because the voltage of the battery module is charged, and it is impossible to target each of the batteries. The state of charge is adjusted, but the resistance value and initial voltage of each cell are not necessarily the same. Therefore, during the process of charging the preset voltage, it is possible that the voltage of a certain cell or cell group has exceeded the safe value (ie, each The voltage imbalance between the cells or each cell group can cause the battery module to overheat and affect the life.
為解決上述問題,遂有人提供另一種電池充電狀態,如第六圖所示。此充電方法是先測出各電芯組之最大電壓以及最小電壓的變化。第一階段(t=t0~t1)是採用定電流(IB)充電,當電芯組最大電壓(Vemax)達到額定電壓(Vcoff)時,就關閉充電器,當電芯組之最大電壓下降至電壓下限(Vcon)時,充電器再恢復供電至電芯組,待再次達到額定電壓(Vcoff)時,再關閉充電器,如此反覆開關充電器,直到各電芯充飽電為止。第二階段(t=t1~t2)中,是根據電芯組最小電壓的變化來決定電流的大小,當電芯組最小電壓(Vemin)超過充電器給予的電壓(Vinc)時,即進入第二階段逐步調降充電電流的大小,並同樣隨著電芯組最大電壓的變化,間斷地給予供電,直到電池充飽(t=t2)為止。此充電方法雖能平衡各電芯組(或電芯)之間的電壓,避免電流過充、電壓過高、溫度過高的問題,但反覆開關充電器,頻繁地對電池充電、放電會折損電池壽命,並且延長整個充電的時間。In order to solve the above problem, another battery charging state is provided, as shown in the sixth figure. This charging method first measures the maximum voltage and the minimum voltage change of each battery group. The first stage (t=t 0 ~t 1 ) is charged with constant current (I B ). When the maximum voltage (V emax ) of the battery pack reaches the rated voltage (V coff ), the charger is turned off, when the battery pack When the maximum voltage drops to the lower voltage limit (V con ), the charger resumes power supply to the battery pack. When the rated voltage (V coff ) is reached again, the charger is turned off, and the charger is turned on and off until the cells are charged. Until the battery is fully charged. In the second phase (t=t 1 ~t 2 ), the magnitude of the current is determined according to the change of the minimum voltage of the battery group, when the minimum voltage (V emin ) of the battery group exceeds the voltage (V inc ) given by the charger. That is, the second stage is gradually adjusted to reduce the magnitude of the charging current, and the power supply is intermittently given as the maximum voltage of the battery pack changes until the battery is full (t=t 2 ). Although this charging method can balance the voltage between each group of cells (or cells), avoiding the problems of current overcharge, overvoltage, and excessive temperature, but repeatedly switching the charger, frequently charging and discharging the battery will break. Battery life and extend the entire charging time.
第七圖提供了另一種充電方式,其是以第一預設電流(I1)對電池模組進行第一階段(t=t0~t1)充電,當電池模組中,有電芯達到預設電壓(V1),則改以一小於第一預設電流(I1)之第二預設電流(I2)進行第二階段(t=t1~t2)充電,當電池模組中有電芯達到預設電壓(V1),則以該預設電壓V1進行充電,直到電池模組充飽為止。此種方式,是利用調整電流大小,將各電芯之電壓控制在預設電壓以下,雖然也可以避免電芯之電壓過大,但其每階段充電只觀察是否有電芯超過預設電壓,仍無法確保每顆電芯都達到預設電壓,各電芯之間的電壓無法平衡。The seventh figure provides another charging method, which is to charge the battery module in the first stage (t=t 0 ~ t 1 ) with the first preset current (I 1 ). When the battery module has a battery core, reaches a predetermined voltage (V 1), is changed to be less than a first predetermined current (I 1) of a second predetermined current (I 2) a second charging phase (t = t 1 ~ t 2 ), when the battery When the battery core reaches the preset voltage (V 1 ), the battery is charged with the preset voltage V 1 until the battery module is fully charged. In this way, the voltage of each cell is controlled to be lower than the preset voltage by adjusting the current, although the voltage of the cell can be prevented from being too large, but the charging of each phase only observes whether or not the cell exceeds the preset voltage. There is no guarantee that each cell will reach the preset voltage and the voltage between the cells will not be balanced.
而中華民國專利公告第I366322號,提供了一種充電裝置,包含一第一電壓轉換器、一第二電壓轉換器及一控制模組。第一電壓轉換器會輸出電力,對第一儲能元件及第二儲能元件充電,第二電壓轉換器會輸出電力,對該第二儲能元件充電。當第二儲能元件充電達一飽和臨界電壓時,控制模組控制第二電壓轉換器停止對第二儲能元件充電,同時使欲流進第二儲能元件的電流回授至第一電壓轉換器進行轉換,第一電壓轉換器轉換後,再對第一儲能元件充電,以降低供應電源之輸出電力,達到節能之功效。其中,欲流進第二儲能元件的電流會先流向一電感,該電感因發生反向激磁而開始儲能,並經控制模組控制開關後,電感會釋放其所儲存之能量,並回授至第一電壓轉換器進行轉換。The Republic of China Patent Publication No. I366322 provides a charging device including a first voltage converter, a second voltage converter and a control module. The first voltage converter outputs power to charge the first energy storage component and the second energy storage component, and the second voltage converter outputs power to charge the second energy storage component. When the second energy storage component is charged to a saturation threshold voltage, the control module controls the second voltage converter to stop charging the second energy storage component, and simultaneously returns the current to be flowed into the second energy storage component to the first voltage The converter performs conversion, and after the first voltage converter is converted, the first energy storage component is charged to reduce the output power of the power supply to achieve energy saving effect. Wherein, the current to flow into the second energy storage component first flows to an inductor, which begins to store energy due to reverse excitation, and after the control module controls the switch, the inductor releases its stored energy and returns The first voltage converter is given for conversion.
上述充電裝置雖能避免單個儲能元件過充,以及可針對電壓較低之儲能元件進行充電,但因電感無法用於控制多餘的電流之流向,多的電流僅能止於鄰近的儲能元件,因此,當充電裝置需要對多個儲能元件充電時,每個儲能元件都需搭配一電壓轉換器,以進行充電的判斷,進而達到平衡各儲能元件之電壓的目的。Although the above charging device can avoid overcharging of a single energy storage component and can charge an energy storage component with a lower voltage, since the inductance cannot be used to control the flow of excess current, more current can only stop adjacent energy storage. Component, therefore, when the charging device needs to charge a plurality of energy storage components, each energy storage component needs to be equipped with a voltage converter to determine the charging, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the voltages of the energy storage components.
據此,這種充電技術在針對高功率儲能的應用,如電動腳踏車(E-bike)、電動車(EV)或儲能裝置(ESS)時,會因為該等裝置中儲能元件動輒上百顆,甚至千顆,迫使該充電裝置必須相應該儲存元件的數目增加使用電壓轉換器,不僅增加整體充電電路的複雜度和不確定因素,也會造成整體成本的提高。Accordingly, this charging technology is used for high-power energy storage applications such as electric bicycles (EVs), electric vehicles (EVs) or energy storage devices (ESS) because of the energy storage components in these devices. One hundred or even a thousand, forcing the charging device to increase the number of storage elements to use the voltage converter, not only increases the complexity and uncertainty of the overall charging circuit, but also increases the overall cost.
因此,如何使充電模組中之各電芯或電芯組之間的電壓達到平衡,進而避免電池模組溫度過高、提高電池模組壽命,為待解決之課題。
Therefore, how to balance the voltage between the cells or the battery cells in the charging module, thereby avoiding the temperature of the battery module being too high and improving the life of the battery module is a problem to be solved.
有鑑於此,本發明的目的在於,提供一種多段式電池模組充電方法,該方法是將定電流充電分成數階段,每階段有不同的電流值以及充電時間,當充電達預定電壓後,再進行定電壓充電。採階段式定電流充電的方法,可以解決習知在一短時間內一次充達預設電壓而導致電池溫度過高,降低電池壽命的問題。In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stage battery module charging method, which is to divide the constant current charging into several stages, each stage has different current values and charging time, and when the charging reaches a predetermined voltage, Perform constant voltage charging.

本發明的另一目的在於,提供一種多段式電池模組充電方法,該方法是將定電流充電分成第一階段充電、第二階段充電及第三階段充電,並在第二階段充電達預設電壓時,調整電流值,以一微小電流對尚未充達預設電壓之電芯進行第三階段充電,等待預設電壓再度達到後,進行定電壓充電。針對充電未達預設電壓的電芯充電之方法,可以避免充電器不斷的對已經充飽的電芯充電,造成過充、溫度過高的問題,也可確保每個電芯皆能充達預設電壓,維持各電芯間電壓平衡。Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-segment battery module charging method, which is to divide the constant current charging into a first-stage charging, a second-stage charging, and a third-stage charging, and to charge in a second stage to a preset. When the voltage is applied, the current value is adjusted, and the battery that has not been charged to the preset voltage is charged in a third stage with a small current, and after the preset voltage is reached again, the constant voltage is charged. For the charging of the battery core that does not reach the preset voltage, the charger can be prevented from continuously charging the charged battery core, causing overcharge and over temperature problems, and ensuring that each battery core can be fully charged. The preset voltage maintains the voltage balance between the cells.

請配合參閱第二圖為本發明電池模組充電狀態示意圖。其中橫軸代表電流充電的時間,縱軸同時表現出電流大小以及一預設電壓值。本發明之較佳實施方式是,先提供一第一預設電流I1對電池模組進行時間為t=t0~t1之第一階段定電流充電,然後以一判斷單元(容後揭露)判斷電池模組是否達到一預設電壓V1,圖中,S1為第一階段充電時,電池模組的電壓曲線變化,圖中顯示當時間到t1時,電池模組的電壓值正好達到該預設電壓V1;其中預設電壓V1代表一個電芯安全運作時,所能承受之電壓最大值,例如4.1V。接下來改以一第二預設電流I2對電池模組進行時間為t1~t2之第二階段定電流充電,由於考量到第一階段充電時,電池模組可充電的位置已經減少,所以第二階段所提供之電流必須為第一預定電流減去一電流差值ΔIa後的數值,以維護電池模組的安全性。然後以該判斷單元判斷電池模組是否達到該預設電壓V1,圖中,S2為第二階段充電時,電池模組的電壓曲線變化,圖中顯示當時間到達t2時,電池模組的電壓值正好達到該預設電壓V1;同時,判斷單元會監測各電芯之間是否達到一預設壓差或是否有其中一電芯超過預設電壓V1(即判斷是否有電芯已經充飽電,但其他電芯尚未充飽電的狀況),若達到該預設壓差或其中一電芯超過預設電壓,則改以一第三預設電流I3對電壓較低之電芯進行時間為t2~t3之第三階段定電流充電,同理,第三階段所提供之電流必須為第二預定電流減去一電流差值ΔIB的數值。然後以該判斷單元判斷電池模組是否達到該預設電壓V1,圖中,S3為第三階段充電時,電池模組的電壓曲線變化,圖中顯示當時間達到t3時,電池模組的電壓值正好達到該預設電壓V1。再以該判斷單元判斷電池模組是否達到該預設電壓V1,若達到預設電壓,則改以該預設電壓V1及第二預設電流I2對電池模組進行時間為t3~t4之定電壓充電,直到電池模組充飽為止,圖中顯示S4為此階段的電壓曲線,係維持在一定電壓,隨著電池模組幾近充飽電,所需電流量逐漸減少。Please refer to the second figure for a schematic diagram of the charging state of the battery module of the present invention. The horizontal axis represents the time of current charging, and the vertical axis simultaneously shows the current magnitude and a preset voltage value. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first preset current I 1 is first provided to perform a first-stage constant current charging on the battery module for a time t=t 0 to t 1 , and then a judgment unit is disclosed. Determine whether the battery module reaches a preset voltage V 1 . In the figure, when S 1 is the first stage of charging, the voltage curve of the battery module changes, and the figure shows the voltage value of the battery module when the time reaches t 1 . The preset voltage V 1 is just reached; wherein the preset voltage V 1 represents a maximum voltage that can be withstood when a cell is safely operated, for example 4.1V. Then, the second preset current I 2 is used to charge the battery module in the second stage of t 1 ~ t 2 , and the position of the battery module can be reduced due to the consideration of the first stage charging. Therefore, the current supplied in the second stage must be the value after the first predetermined current minus the current difference ΔI a to maintain the safety of the battery module. Then, the determining unit determines whether the battery module reaches the preset voltage V 1 . In the figure, when the S 2 is the second stage charging, the voltage curve of the battery module changes, and the figure shows that when the time reaches t 2 , the battery module The voltage value of the group just reaches the preset voltage V 1 ; at the same time, the judging unit monitors whether a predetermined differential pressure is reached between the cells, or whether one of the cells exceeds the preset voltage V 1 (ie, whether there is electricity) If the core is fully charged, but the other cells are not fully charged, if the preset differential pressure is reached or one of the cells exceeds the preset voltage, the third preset current I 3 is changed to a lower voltage. The battery is subjected to a third stage constant current charging of t 2 to t 3 . Similarly, the current supplied in the third stage must be a value of the second predetermined current minus a current difference ΔI B . Then, the determining unit determines whether the battery module reaches the preset voltage V 1 . In the figure, when the S 3 is the third stage charging, the voltage curve of the battery module changes, and the figure shows that when the time reaches t 3 , the battery module The voltage value of the group just reaches the preset voltage V 1 . Then to the determination unit determines whether the battery module reaches the predetermined voltage V 1 is, if the reaches a predetermined voltage, the battery module I 2 change for the predetermined time and the second predetermined voltage V 1 is current t 3 ~t 4 constant voltage charging until the battery module is full, the figure shows the voltage curve of S 4 for this stage, which is maintained at a certain voltage.
