Background technology
Energy storaging product, other energy storage products of such as battery or similar battery, are widely used in each electronic product.Below for battery, a battery pack generally includes the battery of multiple mutual series connection, and because each battery is in the difference of each side such as charged state, impedance and temperature characterisitic, it is unbalanced that it can cause between these batteries.By making, the capacity of whole battery pack reduces this unbalanced phenomena, the lost of life.Therefore, design equalizing circuit at present to regulate the battery of multiple series connection, thus kept the capacity of battery pack, extend the life-span of battery pack.And passive type equalizing circuit simply obtains apply widely because of with low cost, structure.
Fig. 1 is a kind of schematic diagram of existing passive type equalizing circuit.As shown in Figure 1, existing passive type equalizing circuit comprises battery 110 and the multiple balanced unit 120 that 100 comprise multiple series connection, and the balanced unit 120 that wherein each battery 110 is corresponding with is respectively connected.Each balanced unit 120 comprises comparator 121, balanced starting resistor source 122, equalizing resistance 123 and switch element 124.
Wherein, an input of comparator 121 is electrically connected corresponding battery 110 to gather the voltage of corresponding battery 110, and its another input is electrically connected balanced starting resistor source 122, thus the balanced starting resistor that the voltage of corresponding battery 110 and balanced starting resistor source 122 provide is compared, to produce corresponding control signal.
Equalizing resistance 123 and switch element 124 are connected in parallel on the positive and negative electrode end of corresponding battery 110, thus form a balanced loop, and the control signal that the output that switch element 124 connects comparator 121 further produces to receive comparator 121, thus switch element 124 whether conducting is determined according to control signal, whether the balanced loop that namely equalizing resistance 123, switch element 124 are formed performs equalization operation to the battery 110 of correspondence.
In charging process, the comparator 121 in balanced unit 120 gathers the voltage of corresponding battery 110, and compares with the balanced starting resistor that balanced starting resistor source 122 provides.If the voltage of the corresponding battery 110 gathered is higher than balanced starting resistor, the control signal control switch element 124 that then comparator 121 sends closes, the balanced loop that equalizing resistance 123 and switch element 124 are formed is opened, to utilize equalizing resistance 123 to discharge to corresponding battery 110, to consume the electricity of corresponding battery 110.That is, each battery 110 in battery pack, in charging process, the battery 110 that state of charge is higher more early arrives balanced starting resistor, the time that the balanced loop of its correspondence is opened is also longer, the electricity consumed is also more, thus reaches the object of the electric quantity balancing of each battery 110 in battery pack.
But, existing passive type equalizing circuit 100 can be consumed by the equalizing resistance 123 of correspondence due to electricity unnecessary in each battery 110, so a large amount of heats can be given out when passive type equalizing circuit 100 works, particularly when the balanced starting resistor having the voltage of many batteries 110 to provide higher than balanced starting resistor source 122 in passive type equalizing circuit 100, when needing to perform equalization operation to it, then caloric value can correspondingly increase, and the problem of heat radiation is more serious.Therefore the euqalizing current of existing passive type equalizing circuit 100 can not be too large, and its ability of equalization is limited.
