Description

Discharge circuit with protection function and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, and particularly relates to a discharge circuit with a protection function and a control method thereof.
Background
The power of the electric automobile comes from the battery, the driving motor controller converts the direct current of the battery into alternating current through inversion so as to drive the motor to output torque, and the torque is transmitted to the wheels through the transmission system so as to drive the automobile to run. In order to stabilize the fluctuation of the bus voltage at the input end of the driving motor controller, optimize the response time of current output and absorb the peak voltage of the power module generated by the chopping of the high-speed switch, a capacitor (generally hundreds to thousands of microfarads) is usually connected in parallel with the dc input end of the driving motor controller, and the capacitor is defined as a bus supporting capacitor, and is denoted by Cp.
Because the bus supporting capacitor Cp is used as an energy storage element and has higher voltage, when the driving motor controller stops working, after the power battery cuts off a path for transmitting energy, the driving motor controller needs to have active discharge and passive discharge functions so as to ensure that the voltage of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is reduced to a safe voltage threshold value within a specified time, and avoid the injury to personnel caused by various system faults or misoperation and other problems. Generally, a passive discharge method is to connect a resistor directly in parallel at two ends of a dc bus (BAT + and BAT-) at two ends of the dc bus are defined herein to realize discharge of a bus support capacitor Cp. Therefore, the active discharge is used to solve the problem of the discharge time of the bus bar support capacitor Cp, and the time required for the passive discharge is rapidly reduced from 5min to 3s or shorter. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a main current circuit of the current active discharging scheme, as shown in the figure, a switch K is closed, and energy on a bus supporting capacitor Cp is rapidly consumed through a high-power active discharging resistor Rp, so that the voltage of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is rapidly reduced to a safe level. In some cases, if the energy of the bus support capacitor Cp is continuously provided by the power battery (the drive motor controller has not disconnected the energy transmission loop from the power battery) or the drive motor generates power at a high speed (high-speed trailer, rollover, etc.) and feeds the power battery to the bus support capacitor Cp or the vehicle is in a charging state (the bus support capacitor Cp continuously has a high voltage and the MCU does not operate), the high-power active discharge resistor Rp continuously converts the energy of the bus support capacitor Cp into heat, the temperature of the high-power active discharge resistor Rp rises continuously, the high-power active discharge resistor Rp reaches a limit in a short time (tens of seconds or even several seconds) and is burnt out, the drive motor controller of a lighter is damaged and fails, and a fire disaster is caused.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

The term "one embodiment" and the like may be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "another embodiment" and the like may be understood as "at least one other embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. are used merely to distinguish different features and have no essential meaning.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a discharge circuit 100 with protection. Discharge circuit 100 includes a bus support capacitor Cp and an active discharge circuit 11.
The bus support capacitor Cp includes a first conductive terminal coupled to the positive terminal BAT + of the drive motor controller dc input and a second conductive terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the drive motor controller dc input. The positive and negative terminals BAT + and BAT-of the drive motor controller DC inputs are coupled to the positive and negative poles of the power battery, respectively.
The active discharge circuit 11 includes: a power resistor Rp, a first switch K1, a first control circuit 11a, and a second control circuit 11 b.
The power resistor Rp is coupled in series with the first switch K1 between the positive terminal BAT + of the drive motor controller dc input and the negative terminal BAT-of the drive motor controller dc input. In the discharge circuit 100, the power resistor Rp, the first switch K1 and the bus bar supporting capacitor Cp form an active discharge main circuit, and it is understood that the structure of the active discharge main circuit shown in fig. 2 is a basic circuit structure, and appropriate modifications can be made on the basic circuit structure as long as the design concept and the design object of the embodiment of the present invention are satisfied, and the circuit structure described later follows this principle.
The first control circuit 11a has a first conductive terminal coupled to the node of the voltage source VCC, a second conductive terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the DC input of the driving motor controller, an output terminal providing a first control signal to the first switch K1, and an input terminal coupled to receive a second control signal. The first control circuit 11a is configured to provide at least a first control signal to control the turning on and off of the first switch K1. In discharge circuit 100, the turning on and off of first switch K1 determines whether power resistor Rp discharges bus support capacitor Cp.
The second control circuit 11b comprises an output coupled to an input of the first control circuit 11a and providing a second control signal. The second control circuit 11b is configured to provide at least a second control signal to control the first control circuit 11a to operate or not to operate when the second control circuit 11b operates normally. When the second control circuit 11b normally operates, if the second control circuit 11b provides a second control signal indicating that the first control circuit 11a operates, the first control circuit 11a controls the active discharge main circuit to discharge the bus support capacitor Cp, during the discharge process, the second control circuit 11b may provide a second control signal indicating that the first control circuit 11a does not operate at any time, and the first control circuit 11a terminates the discharge of the active discharge main circuit to the bus support capacitor Cp, which means that when the second control circuit 11b normally operates, the second control circuit 11b may control whether the active discharge main circuit discharges and the discharge time through the first control circuit 11a, so as to protect the power resistor Rp and prevent the power resistor Rp from being damaged due to overheating. When the second control circuit 11b does not work abnormally (at this time, the second control circuit 11b does not provide the second control signal), the first control circuit 11a is further configured to force the active discharge main circuit to work and prompt the active discharge main circuit to be disconnected after the set time T elapses, so that the active discharge main circuit discharges the bus support capacitor Cp on the premise of ensuring that the power resistor Rp is normal, and damage to the power resistor Rp and a system where the discharge circuit 100 is located, which is caused by continuous abnormal voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp, is avoided. The set time T needs to be determined by testing an actual circuit in combination with the maximum time that the actual loss of the power resistor Rp can endure under the worst condition in the active discharge main circuit, and the set time T should be designed to be larger than the discharge time T under the normal condition of the discharge circuit in practical application.
In the discharge circuit 100 with the protection function provided in this embodiment, the second control circuit and the first control circuit work cooperatively, so that when the second control circuit 11b is abnormal, the first control circuit 11a can prompt the active discharge main circuit to be actively disconnected, and therefore, the power resistor Rp cannot be continuously heated, and the problem of equipment damage or even fire hazard is avoided.
In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the first control circuit 11a includes a second switch (refer to the switch Q1 of fig. 5), and the output terminal of the second control circuit 11b provides a second control signal to the second switch, where the second control signal is one of factors for controlling the second switch to be turned on and off. In this embodiment, the turning on and off of the second switch is synchronized with the turning on and off of the first switch K1, for example, the first switch K1 is turned on when the second switch is turned on; when the second switch is turned off, the first switch K1 is turned off, or when the second switch is turned on, the first switch K1 is turned off; the second switch is off and the first switch K1 is on.
Referring again to fig. 2, the discharge circuit 100 further includes a passive discharge circuit 12.
The passive discharge circuit 12 includes a passive discharge module 12a and a regulation circuit 12 b.
The passive discharge module 12a includes a first conductive terminal coupled to the positive terminal BAT + of the dc input of the driving motor controller and a second conductive terminal coupled to provide an electrical connection. The passive discharge module 12a is configured to passively discharge the bus bar support capacitance Cp. The passive discharge module 12a may be a passive discharge resistor, and in an actual design, the passive discharge resistor may be one resistor or may be implemented by connecting a plurality of resistors in series and parallel, and based on the same principle, the subsequent resistor may also be designed as one resistor or may be implemented by connecting a plurality of resistors in series and parallel.
The voltage regulator circuit 12b includes an input terminal coupled to the second conductive terminal of the passive discharge module 12a, an output terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the dc input of the driving motor controller, and a voltage source VCC node coupled to provide a voltage source VCC. The stabilizing circuit 12b is configured to provide a stable voltage source.
In the discharging circuit 100, the passive discharging module 12a, the voltage stabilizing circuit 12b and the bus support capacitor Cp form a passive discharging loop, and when the discharging circuit operates, the passive discharging loop continuously discharges the bus support capacitor Cp and provides a stable voltage source.
Referring now to fig. 3, fig. 3 illustrates a discharge circuit with a protection function according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment further describes the structure of the first control circuit in the foregoing embodiment. In the present embodiment, the first control circuit 11a includes a control module 13 and a timing module 14.
The control module 13 includes a first conductive terminal coupled to the node of the voltage source VCC, a connection terminal coupled to provide an electrical connection, a control terminal coupled to the first switch K1, and a second conductive terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the dc input of the driving motor controller. The control module 13 is configured to control the turning on and off of the first switch K1.
The timing module 14 includes a first conductive terminal coupled to the node of the voltage source VCC, a second conductive terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the dc input of the driving motor controller, and a third conductive terminal coupled to the connection terminal of the control module 13. The timing module 14 is configured to time the on-time of the active discharging main circuit, and when the time timed by the timing module 14 reaches the set time T, the control module 13 is forced to prompt the active discharging main circuit to be actively turned off, so as to avoid damage to the power resistor Rp and the system where the discharging circuit 100 is located, which are caused by the continuous abnormal voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp.
Referring now to fig. 4, fig. 4 illustrates a discharge circuit with a protection function according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment further explains the structure of the first control circuit in the aforementioned further embodiment again. In this embodiment, the first control circuit 11a further includes a locking module 15.
The locking module 15 includes a first conductive terminal coupled to the voltage source VCC node, a second conductive terminal coupled to the control module 13, a third conductive terminal coupled to the timing module 14, and a fourth conductive terminal coupled to the negative terminal BAT-of the drive motor controller dc input. The locking module 15 is configured to force the control module 13 to cause the active discharging main circuit to be in a continuously disconnected state after the control module 13 causes the active discharging main circuit to be actively disconnected, so as to further ensure the safety of the power resistor Rp and the system.
Further, the second control circuit 11b may include a reset control module (refer to the second isolation device U3 shown in fig. 6) configured to actively reset the state of the discharge circuit when the second control circuit 11b is operating normally, for example, the reset control module may unlock the locking module 15, so that the active discharge main circuit may try to actively discharge multiple times.
Referring now to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows details of an embodiment of a circuit implementation for discharge circuit 100.
The control module 13 is formed by sequentially connecting a voltage source VCC, a first switch Q1 (corresponding to the second switch in fig. 2), a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, and a negative terminal voltage VBAT-of the dc input of the driving motor controller in series. Fig. 5 shows an example in which the first switch Q1 is a PNP transistor, and it is understood that the first switch Q1 may have other structures or other switching devices.
The control unit MCU, the tenth resistor R10, and the first isolation device U2 constitute a second control circuit 11 b. The control unit MCU has a first conductive terminal and a second conductive terminal providing an electrical connection, the tenth resistor R10 has a first conductive terminal coupled to the first conductive terminal of the control unit MCU and a second conductive terminal coupled to provide an electrical connection, the primary side of the first isolation device U2 is coupled between the second conductive terminal of the tenth resistor R10 and the second conductive terminal of the control unit MCU, and the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is directly connected in parallel with the emitter e and the base b of the first switching tube Q1. When the level signal output by the control unit MCU makes the light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 conduct for operation, the phototransistor on the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 conducts. Since the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is directly connected in parallel with the emitter E and the base B of the first switch Q1, and the conduction voltage drop of the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is smaller than the conduction voltage drop of the gate of the first switch Q1 (i.e., from the emitter E to the base B), so that the gate of the first switch Q1 is shorted by the secondary side of the first isolation device U2, the current of the voltage source VCC flows entirely through the secondary side of the first isolation device U2, and no current flows through the gate of the first switch Q1, the first switch Q1 is in an off state, and the second switch Q2 (corresponding to the first switch K1 in fig. 2) is also in an off state. When a level signal output by the control unit MCU causes the light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 to be turned off and not operate (when the control unit MCU malfunctions abnormally, the light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 is turned off and does not operate), the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is also turned off and does not operate, then the gate of the first switching tube Q1 will not be controlled by the short circuit of the first isolation device U2, in the circuit detail shown in fig. 5, it can be known from the following description that whether the first switching tube Q1 is turned on or off will depend on the voltage VC at the output end of the voltage comparator U1A, and when VC is equal to the voltage source VCC, the first switching tube Q1 is turned off, and the second switching tube Q2 is also turned; when VC is more than or equal to 0 and less than the voltage source VCC, the first switch tube Q1 is conducted, and the second switch tube Q2 is also conducted.
The voltage comparison circuit, the first diode D1, the eighth resistor R8, the ninth resistor R9, and the first capacitor C1 constitute the timing module 14. The ninth resistor R9 and the first capacitor C1 are connected in parallel and then connected in series with the eighth resistor R8 and the first diode D1. The first diode D1 is configured to prevent current of the first capacitor C1 from reversely discharging to the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7, and the positive terminal of the first diode D1 is coupled between the first switch tube Q1 and the sixth resistor R6. The first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4 and the voltage comparator U1A form a voltage comparison circuit, and the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is coupled between the ninth resistor R9 and the eighth resistor R8. The voltage comparison circuit is configured to be another factor for controlling the on and off of the second switch, and when the level signal output by the control unit MCU causes the light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 to be turned off and not operated, whether the first switch tube Q1 is turned on or not will depend on the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A. The inverting input voltage VA of the voltage comparator U1A is the set reference voltage, and in the circuit detail shown in fig. 5, the inverting input voltage VA of the voltage comparator U1A is VCC R2/(R1+ R2). According to the operating principle of the voltage comparator U1A, when the non-inverting input terminal voltage VB of the voltage comparator U1A is greater than the inverting input terminal voltage VA, the output terminal voltage VC is at a high level, otherwise, the output terminal voltage VC is equal to 0V. At the triggering time of the active discharge circuit 11, the voltage on the first capacitor C1, that is, the voltage VB at the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is 0V, and at this time VA > VB, as can be known from the operating principle of the voltage comparator U1A, the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is 0V, that is, the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is initially 0V. At this time, the first switching tube Q1 is turned on, the active discharge circuit 11 starts active discharge, and as time goes by, the voltage across the first capacitor C1 will gradually rise from 0V, and if the control unit MCU fails abnormally and cannot complete discharge according to the expected time T, the voltage VB across the first capacitor C1 after the set time T is greater than VA, so that the voltage VC at the output end of the voltage comparator U1A is at a high level, at this moment, VC is VD2+ VB, where VD2 is the conduction voltage drop of the second diode D2. And a timing module is arranged to realize closed-loop feedback.
The fourth resistor R4, the second diode D2, and the first capacitor C1 constitute the locking module 15. The fourth resistor R4 is coupled between the voltage source VCC and the output of the voltage comparator U1A, the second diode D2 is coupled between the output of the voltage comparator U1A and the non-inverting input, and the first capacitor C1 is coupled between the non-inverting input of the voltage comparator U1A and the negative terminal voltage VBAT-of the drive motor controller dc input. In the circuit shown in fig. 5, the locking module 15 is configured to lock the output state of the voltage comparator U1A. That is, as described in the operation principle of the previous timer module 14, when the voltage VB of the first capacitor C1 is greater than VA, if VC is VD2+ VB < voltage source VCC, then the current continues to charge the first capacitor C1 through the two paths of the fourth resistor R4 → the second diode D2 and through the first switch tube Q1 → the fifth resistor R5 → the second diode D2, the voltage of the first capacitor C1 continues to rise and keeps the state of VB greater than VA, when the voltage VB reaches a certain value, the charging current in the two paths is 0A, VC is equal to voltage source VCC and keeps the state, and when the first switch tube Q1 is in the off state, the state is always kept, and as can be known from the operation principle of the control module 13, the second switch tube Q2 is in the off state, and the main discharge loop does not work. Automatic latching is realized by arranging a locking module.
The embodiment of the invention provides a self-protection discharge circuit with closed-loop feedback and automatic latching states, which can realize that timing is started while an active discharge main loop is triggered to work, when the voltage of a bus support capacitor Cp is not released to an expected voltage value after a set time T is reached, the logic state of a control circuit is turned over, so that a first switch K is switched off, active discharge is stopped, a power resistor Rp is protected, and the stopped state is continuously locked and maintained until the voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp of the whole product is released through passive discharge. The setting of the set time T needs to be combined with the maximum time that the actual loss of the power resistor Rp can endure in the worst case of the active discharge main circuit, and the maximum time can be tested by an actual circuit, so as to set the parameters of the eighth resistor R8, the ninth resistor R9 and the first capacitor C1 in fig. 5 to determine the set time T, and the set time T should be designed to be larger than the discharge time T in the normal case of the circuit in actual application. Therefore, whether the active discharging main loop is conducted or not can be controlled when the control unit MCU is normal, so that whether the bus supporting capacitor Cp is actively discharged or not is actively controlled, and when the control unit MCU is abnormal, the active discharging main loop is triggered to conduct and work, so that the energy of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is discharged, and in addition, the damage of the power resistor Rp caused by the fact that the bus supporting capacitor Cp continuously has energy which cannot be discharged within the set time T can be effectively avoided.
Referring now to fig. 6, fig. 6 shows details of yet another embodiment of a circuit implementation for the active discharge circuit 11.
The circuit shown in fig. 6 is different from the circuit shown in fig. 5 in that a second isolation device U3 (an example of the aforementioned reset control module) is added to the circuit shown in fig. 6, the primary side of the second isolation device U3 and the primary side of the first isolation device U2 are coupled in series and then coupled between the second conductive terminal of the tenth resistor R10 and the second conductive terminal of the control unit MCU, and the secondary side of the second isolation device U3 is directly connected in parallel to two ends of the first capacitor C1. The control state of the second isolation device U3 is synchronized with the first isolation device U2. The other circuit configuration of fig. 6 is the same as that of fig. 5.
When the control unit MCU is normal, the control unit MCU controls the light emitting diodes on the primary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 to be turned on and operated through a level signal, and the phototriodes on the secondary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 are turned on, so that the voltage VB of the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator U1A (i.e., the terminal voltage of the first capacitor C1) can be discharged and returned to 0V, and at this time, the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are in an off state. Afterwards, if the voltage of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is abnormal, the control unit MCU controls the light emitting diodes on the primary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 to be turned off and not to work through a level signal, the phototriodes on the secondary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 are turned off, at this time, the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are in a conducting state, and the working condition of the active discharge circuit is the same as the working condition (not described) described in fig. 5, so that the active discharge main circuit can be turned on to realize active discharge, and the active discharge main circuit can be turned off after a set time T to protect the power resistor Rp. If the voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp is still abnormal after one active discharge, when the control unit MCU is normal, the control unit MCU controls the light emitting diodes on the primary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 to conduct and operate through the level signal, so that the voltage VB on the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator U1A can be discharged and returned to 0V, the voltage VC on the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A returns to 0V, and then the control unit MCU controls the light emitting diodes on the primary sides of the first isolation device U2 and the second isolation device U3 to be turned off and not operate through the level signal, so as to promote the active discharge of the active discharge main circuit again, thereby accelerating the discharge of the voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp while protecting the power resistor Rp (the specific working process can refer to the foregoing description).
Returning to the circuit shown in fig. 5, the active discharge circuit only performs active discharge control once when the control unit MCU is normal but the voltage of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is continuously abnormal, because if the voltage of the bus supporting capacitor Cp is continuously abnormal, the state of the voltage comparator U1A keeps VC equal to the voltage source VCC, i.e., the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 are continuously disconnected, so that the control unit MCU cannot try to perform active discharge again after active discharge once. In the active discharge circuit structure shown in fig. 6, because the second isolation device U3 is provided, when the voltage of the bus support capacitor Cp is continuously abnormal, active discharge can be tried for many times under the normal condition of the control unit MCU, so that the control flexibility is greatly improved, and a better protection circuit is facilitated.

As shown in the figure, a positive terminal BAT + and a negative terminal BAT-of the direct current input of the driving motor controller are respectively connected with the positive pole and the negative pole of the power battery, and the bus supporting capacitor Cp is connected in parallel to the direct current bus of the driving motor controller, namely is connected between the positive terminal BAT + and the negative terminal BAT-of the direct current input of the driving motor controller.
In the figure, an eleventh resistor R11, a zener diode Z1 and an energy storage zener capacitor C2 form a basic passive discharge circuit, the eleventh resistor R11 is a passive discharge resistor, and the passive discharge resistor can be realized by connecting a plurality of resistors in series and parallel in practical design. The voltage stabilizing diode Z1 and the energy storage voltage stabilizing capacitor C2 are connected in parallel to form a voltage stabilizing circuit, and the specific connection mode given in the figure is as follows: one end of the eleventh resistor R11 is connected with the positive terminal BAT + of the DC input of the driving motor controller, the other end is connected with the negative electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode Z1 and one end of the energy storage voltage stabilizing capacitor C2, the positive electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode Z1 and the other end of the energy storage voltage stabilizing capacitor C2 are connected with the negative terminal BAT-of the DC input of the driving motor controller, and the voltage at the two ends of the voltage stabilizing diode Z1 is used as a voltage source VCC. Therefore, the passive discharge circuit generates a voltage source VCC and functions to stabilize the voltage.
In the active discharge circuit shown in fig. 5, six control paths are included.
A first control path: the voltage source VCC → the first switch tube Q1 → the sixth resistor R6 → the seventh resistor R7 → the negative terminal voltage VBAT of the dc input of the drive motor controller, and the first control path constitutes a control loop for the second switch tube Q2 (i.e., the switch K1), wherein the on and off states of the second switch tube Q2 determine whether the power resistor Rp discharges the bus bar support capacitor Cp.
A second control path: the control unit MCU → the tenth resistor R10 → the first isolation device U2, and the second control path constitutes a control loop for the first switch Q1, i.e. controls the on and off of the first switch Q1. When a level signal output by the control unit MCU causes a light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 to be turned on for operation, a phototransistor on the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is turned on, and since the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is directly connected in parallel with the emitter E and the base B of the first switching tube Q1, and the conduction voltage drop of the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 is smaller than the conduction voltage drop of the gate of the first switching tube Q1 (i.e., from the emitter E to the base B), the gate of the first switching tube Q1 is short-circuited by the secondary side of the first isolation device U2, the current of the voltage source VCC all flows through the secondary side of the first isolation device U2, and the gate of the first switching tube Q1 does not flow, so that the first switching tube Q1 is in an off state, and the second switching tube Q2 is also in an off state. When the level signal output by the control unit MCU turns off the light emitting diode on the primary side of the first isolation device U2 and does not operate, the secondary side of the first isolation device U2 also turns off and does not operate, so the gate of the first switch Q1 will not be controlled by the short circuit of the first isolation device U2, and at this time, whether the first switch Q1 is turned on or off will depend on the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A (when VC is equal to the voltage source VCC, the first switch Q1 is turned off, and when VC is equal to 0 and less than the voltage source VCC, the first switch Q1 is turned on).
A third control path: the positive end voltage VBAT + → power resistor Rp → the second switch tube Q2 → the negative end voltage VBAT- → bus bar support capacitor Cp of the drive motor controller DC input, and the third control path constitutes a main discharge circuit of the active discharge circuit.
A fourth control path: the fourth control path forms a voltage comparison circuit, the voltage VA at the inverting input end of the voltage comparator U1A is a set reference voltage, and VA is VCC R2/(R1+ R2).
A fifth control path: a first diode D1, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9 and a first capacitor C1, wherein the fifth control path is used for timing the action moment of the main discharging loop, and the first diode D1 is used for preventing the current of the first capacitor C1 from reversely discharging to the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7. At the triggering time of the active discharge circuit 11, the voltage across the first capacitor C1, i.e., the voltage VB at the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is 0V, and at this time VA > VB, the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is 0V according to the operating principle of the voltage comparator U1A, i.e., the initial state of the voltage VC at the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1A is 0V. If the first switching tube Q1 is turned on to start active discharge at this time, the voltage across the first capacitor C1 will gradually rise from 0V with the passage of time, and if the control unit MCU fails abnormally and cannot complete discharge at the expected time T, the voltage VB across the first capacitor C1 after the time T is over is greater than VA, so that the voltage VC at the output end of the voltage comparator U1A is at a high level, and at this moment, VC is VD2+ VB, where VD2 is the conduction voltage drop of the second diode D2.
A sixth control path: the fourth resistor R4, the second diode D2 and the first capacitor C1, and the sixth control path realize the locking of the output state of the voltage comparator U1A. That is, as described in the fifth control path, when the voltage VB of the first capacitor C1 is greater than VA, if VC is VD2+ VB < voltage source VCC, then current continues to charge the first capacitor C1 through the two paths of the fourth resistor R4 → the second diode D2 and through the first switch tube Q1 → the fifth resistor R5 → the second diode D2, the voltage of the first capacitor C1 continues to rise and maintains the state of VB greater than VA, when the voltage VB reaches a certain value, the charging current of the two paths is 0A, VC is greater than the voltage source VCC and maintains the state, when the first switch tube Q1 is in the off state, the state is maintained all the time, and as can be known from the first control path, the second switch tube Q2 is in the off state, and the main discharge circuit does not work.

2. When the control unit MCU is abnormal (e.g. power down)
At this time, the first isolation device U2 is in an uncontrolled off-state by default, and combining the second control path, the fourth control path, the fifth control path, and the sixth control path, the second switch Q2 completes the active discharging task after the on-state operation time T, or does not complete the discharging task after the time T, so that the second switch Q2 is continuously turned off to protect the power resistor Rp.
