The embodiment of the present application provides a charging system 20, which is applied to an electronic Device 10 shown in fig. 1, and in one embodiment, the electronic Device 10 may be a Mobile communication module including a Mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a wearable Device (e.g., a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.), or other electronic communication modules including the charging system 20.
As shown in fig. 2, the charging system 20 includes: a battery module 210, a control component 240, a current limiting module 220, and a power management module 230.
The battery module 210 is used for absorbing electric energy or releasing electric energy, and the battery module 210 includes: the battery charging system comprises a first battery cell arranged on a first charging link and a second battery cell arranged on a second charging link, wherein the first charging link is connected with the second charging link in parallel, and the path impedance of the first charging link is smaller than that of the second charging link.
Specifically, the battery module 210 includes at least two rechargeable battery cells, which may be made of a lithium material, a nickel-hydrogen material, or a graphene material, and is not limited herein. The battery module 210 at least includes a first battery cell and a second battery cell, the first battery cell is located on the first charging link, the second battery cell is located on the second charging link, and the first charging link and the second charging link are connected in parallel. That is, the power management module 230 charges the first battery cell and the second battery cell in parallel. During parallel charging, the voltage drop on the first charging link is equal to the voltage drop on the second charging link. The path impedance of the first charging link is determined by the length, material, device and the like of the first charging link, the path impedance of the second charging link is determined by the length, material, device and the like of the second charging link, and the path impedance of the first charging link where the first electric core is located is smaller than the path impedance of the second charging link where the second electric core is located. That is, in the charging process, the consumption of charging the second battery cell through the second charging link is larger than that of charging the first battery cell through the first charging link. In other words, when the same amount of power is supplied to the first charging link and the second charging link, the first battery cell will first reach saturation, which triggers the charge of the battery module 210 to be cut off, and the second battery cell is still not fully charged. It should be noted that the battery module 210 may include N battery cells (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3), the charging links where the N battery cells are located are sequentially connected in parallel, and the power management module 230 is used to charge the N battery cells in parallel.
The control component 240 is configured to generate a first control signal and a second control signal when the first charging current corresponding to the first cell is greater than the first current threshold.
Specifically, after the current limiting module 220 detects a first charging current corresponding to the first electric core, the control component 240 obtains the first charging current from the current limiting module 220, and determines a magnitude relationship between the first charging current and a first pre-stored current threshold. When it is detected that the first charging current is greater than the first current threshold, a first control signal and a second control signal are generated, the first control signal is transmitted to the current limiting module 220, and the second control signal is transmitted to the power management module 230.

Specifically, the current limiting module 220 may include a current detection resistor, and may obtain a first charging current corresponding to a first battery cell on the first charging link by using the current detection resistor. The current limiting module 220 may further include a device with a current limiting function, such as a load switch, a current limiting relay, a varistor, an over-current protection chip, etc., capable of performing a current limiting operation when receiving the first control signal. When the current limiting module 220 receives the first control signal, it is identified that the first battery cell is being overcharged, and there is damage to the first battery cell from charging in this state. And after a period of time, the first battery cell saturates the electric quantity, and the first battery cell saturates to trigger the charging of the battery module 210 to be cut off, so that the second battery cell is not fully charged. At this moment, the first charging current is reduced to the first current threshold value, the first battery core can be protected, the first charging current is reduced, the charging rate of the first battery core is reduced, the first battery core and the second battery core can be charged to saturation as much as possible, and the loss of the charging capacity of the battery module 210 is reduced.
The first current threshold refers to a charging current value corresponding to the maximum bearing capacity of the first battery cell. It should be noted that the battery module 210 may include N battery cells (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3), and the charging links where the N battery cells are located are connected in parallel. And the path impedances are sequentially arranged into a first charging link, a second charging link, a.
And the power management module 230 is connected to the control module 240 and the battery module 210, respectively, and is configured to charge the first battery cell and the second battery cell, and further configured to adjust a second charging current corresponding to the second battery cell to a second current threshold when receiving a second control signal.
Specifically, the power management module 230 is provided with a power management chip therein, connected to the battery module 210, and configured to charge the battery module 210, and the power management module 230 can also control the battery module 210 to supply power to each functional module of the electronic device. When the second control signal is received, the first battery cell is identified to be abnormally charged, and the first battery cell is damaged by charging in the state. And after a period of time, the first battery cell saturates the electric quantity, and the first battery cell saturates to trigger the charging of the battery module 210 to be cut off, so that the second battery cell is not fully charged. At this moment, the first charging current is reduced to the first current threshold, and the second charging current corresponding to the second battery cell is adjusted to the second current threshold, so that the charging speed of the second battery cell can be increased while the charging rate of the first battery cell is reduced, the second battery cell is fully charged as soon as possible, the first battery cell and the second battery cell can be charged to saturation as far as possible, and the charging capacity loss of the battery module 210 is reduced. And the second current threshold refers to a charging current value corresponding to the maximum bearing capacity of the second battery cell.
In one embodiment, the power management module integrates a battery Temperature detection chip, and can obtain the battery Temperature, such as a Temperature sensor, a thermal imager, or a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) resistor, which is not described herein again. It should be noted that the battery module 210 includes N battery cells (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3), and the charging links where the N battery cells are located are connected in parallel. And the path impedances are sequentially arranged into a first charging link, a second charging link, a. And adjusting the charging current of the charging links from the I +1 th charging link to the Nth charging link to a charging current value corresponding to the maximum bearing capacity of the link.
In one embodiment, the control component 240 is further configured to generate a third control signal when the charging capacity of the first cell reaches a capacity saturation value; the current limiting module 220 is further configured to disconnect the first charging link when receiving a third control signal.
Specifically, the current limiting module 220 obtains the first charging current and transmits the first charging current to the control component 240. When the control component 240 detects that the first charging current is greater than the first current threshold, the first control signal and the second control signal are generated. The first control signal identifies that the first battery cell is being overloaded for charging, reduces the first charging current to a first current threshold value, can protect the first battery cell, reduces the first charging current, and slows down the charging rate of the first battery cell. If the control component 240 detects that the charging current of the first cell is limited and the first cell still reaches the charge saturation state faster than the second cell, when the charging power of the first cell reaches the charge saturation value, a third control signal may be generated to control the first charging link to be disconnected, and the third control signal is transmitted to the current limiting module 220. The current limiting module 220 controls the disconnection of the first charging link, and the source management module 230 only charges the second battery cell alone, so that the charging capacity of the second battery cell is saturated. This embodiment can make the charge capacity of first electric core and second electric core all reach saturation to will the charge capacity loss of battery module 210 will be minimum.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the current limiting module 220 includes a load switch, disposed on the first charging link, connected in series with the first battery cell, and configured to detect the first charging current, and reduce the first charging current to a first current threshold when receiving the first control signal; and is also configured to disconnect the first charging link when the third control signal is received.
Specifically, the current limiting module 220 is connected in series with the first battery cell and is disposed on the first charging link. The current limiting module 220 may include a load switch, and the load switch may be configured with a current detecting unit capable of obtaining the first charging current and transmitting the first charging current to the control component 240. The control component 240 can compare the first charging current with the first current threshold, generate a first control signal when the first charging current corresponding to the first battery cell exceeds the first current threshold, and transmit the first control signal to the load switch, so that the MOS transistor capable of controlling on/off and provided inside the load switch limits the current of the first charging current. When the control component 240 detects that the charging power of the first battery cell reaches the power saturation value, it generates a third control signal and transmits the third control signal to the current limiting module 220, so that the current limiting module 220 controls the first charging link to be disconnected. Make power management module 230 only charge to the second electric core alone, finally make the electric quantity of charging of first electric core and second electric core all reach the saturation.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the load switch includes: a first current detecting resistor for detecting the first charging current and transmitting the first charging current to the control component 240; a current limit switch to reduce the first charging current to a first current threshold when receiving a first control signal; and is also configured to disconnect the first charging link when the third control signal is received.
Specifically, the load switch is integrated with a first current detection resistor and a current limiting switch, and the first current detection resistor obtains the first charging current and may further transmit the first charging current to the control component 240. And the current limiting switch can limit the current of the first charging link and can also control the connection and disconnection of the first charging link. For example, when the control component 240 detects that the first charging current corresponding to the first battery cell is greater than the first current threshold, the first control signal is generated and transmitted to the current-limiting switch, so that the current-limiting switch limits the first charging current, and the first charging current is reduced to the first current threshold. When the control component 240 detects that the charging capacity of the first battery cell reaches the capacity saturation value, it generates a third control signal, and transmits the third control signal to the current-limiting switch, so that the current-limiting switch controls the first charging link to be disconnected, so that the power management module 230 only charges the second battery cell alone, and further, the charging capacity of the second battery cell also reaches saturation.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the current limiting module 220 is connected in parallel with the first battery cell, and the current limiting module 220 includes: the protection chip is used for disconnecting the first charging link when receiving a third control signal; and a second current detecting resistor, configured to obtain the detected first charging current, transmit the first charging current to the control component 240, and reduce the first charging current to a first current threshold when receiving the first control signal.
Specifically, the current limiting module 220 integrates the protection chip and the second current detecting resistor, the second current detecting resistor is used to obtain the first charging current and transmit the first charging current to the control component 240, the control component 240 can generate the first control signal and transmit the first control signal to the second current detecting resistor when the first charging current is greater than the first current threshold, and the second current detecting resistor has a current limiting function and can reduce the first charging current to the first current threshold. The protection chip can be connected to the control component 240 by means of I2C, etc., and when the control component 240 detects that the charging capacity of the first battery cell reaches the capacity saturation value, the control component generates a third control signal, and transmits the third control signal to the protection chip, so that the protection chip controls the first charging link to be disconnected. Thereby make power management module 230 only charge to the second electric core alone, further make the electric quantity of charging of first electric core and second electric core all reach the saturation.
In one embodiment, the power management module 230 is further configured to adjust a third charging current when receiving the second control signal, so that the second charging current is adjusted to the second current threshold, where the third charging current is a sum of the first charging current and the second charging current.
Specifically, the power management module is internally provided with a current detection chip which can acquire the sum of the first charging current and the second charging current in real time, namely, the third charging current. When the control component 240 detects that the first charging current is greater than the first current threshold, it generates a first control signal and a second control signal, which identify that the first cell is being overcharged, in which state charging has damage to the first cell. At this time, the first control signal is used for reducing the first charging current to the first current threshold, and the first battery cell can be protected. The control component 240 transmits the second control signal to the power management module 230, and the power management module 230 adjusts the second charging current to the second current threshold by adjusting the third charging current, because the first charging current is limited to the first current threshold, and the third charging current is adjusted to only change the second charging current, so that the charging speed of the second battery cell can be increased while the charging rate of the first battery cell is reduced, and the second battery cell can be fully charged as soon as possible. Make first electric core and second electric core homoenergetic saturation of charging as far as possible, reduce battery module 210's charge capacity loss.
In one embodiment, the power management module 230 includes: the current detecting chip 232 is configured to obtain the third charging current, so as to adjust the third charging current.

That is, the power management module charges the first battery cell and the second battery cell in parallel. During parallel charging, the voltage drop on the first charging link is equal to the voltage drop on the second charging link. The path impedance of the first charging link is determined by the length, material, device and the like of the first charging link, the path impedance of the second charging link is determined by the length, material, device and the like of the second charging link, and the path impedance of the first charging link where the first electric core is located is smaller than the path impedance of the second charging link where the second electric core is located. That is, in the charging process, the consumption of charging the second battery cell through the second charging link is larger than that of charging the first battery cell through the first charging link. In other words, when the same amount of power is supplied to the first charging link and the second charging link, the first battery cell will first reach saturation, which triggers the charge of the battery module to be cut off, and the second battery cell is still not fully charged. It should be noted that the battery module may include N battery cells (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3), the charging links where the N battery cells are located are sequentially connected in parallel, and the power management module is used to charge the N battery cells in parallel.

Specifically, after the current limiting module detects a first charging current corresponding to the first electric core, the control component obtains the first charging current from the current limiting module, and determines a magnitude relation between the first charging current and a first pre-stored current threshold.
