Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

The intelligent connecting device can be applied to an emergency starting power supply and can also be applied to a storage battery clamp.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of functional modules of an intelligent connecting device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the smart connection device 100 includes a power connection terminal 20, a load connection terminal 30 and a switch circuit 40, wherein the power connection terminal 20 is configured to be electrically connected to a battery assembly (not shown), the load connection terminal 30 is configured to be electrically connected to an external load (not shown), and the switch circuit 40 is electrically connected between the power connection terminal 20 and the load connection terminal 30.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the power connection terminal 20, the load connection terminal 30 and the switch circuit 40 form a current output circuit 11 for discharging the battery pack to the external load, and the switch circuit 40 is used for turning on or off the current output circuit 11. In this manner, the battery pack can discharge the external load through the smart connection device 100.

In this embodiment, the power connection terminal 20 includes a power positive connection terminal BAT + and a power negative connection terminal BAT-, wherein the power positive connection terminal BAT + and the power negative connection terminal BAT-are electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery assembly in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The battery pack is connected to the smart connector 100 through the power connection terminal 20 to supply an operating voltage to the smart connector 100 and supply power to the external load through the switching circuit 40. It is understood that when the smart connecting device 100 is applied to an emergency starting power supply, the battery assembly may be a built-in battery assembly of the emergency starting power supply. When the intelligent connecting device 100 is applied to a battery clamp, the battery assembly may be an external power supply device, such as a battery assembly of an external emergency starting power supply or other energy storage power supply device.

The load connection terminal 30 includes a load positive connection terminal CAR + and a load negative connection terminal CAR-, wherein the load positive connection terminal CAR + and the load negative connection terminal CAR-are electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the external load in a one-to-one correspondence, and the load negative connection terminal CAR-is also electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND. The external load may be an automotive battery or an automotive engine. It is understood that the automotive battery includes, but is not limited to, a lead-acid battery, a lithium battery, an ultracapacitor, and the like. For example, if the battery assembly is a battery assembly included in an external emergency starting power supply, and the external load is an automobile battery or an automobile engine, when the external emergency starting power supply is correctly connected to the intelligent connection device 100 through the power connection terminal 20, and the external load is correctly connected to the load connection terminal 30, the external emergency starting power supply can start discharging output through the current output circuit 11 formed by the power connection terminal 20, the switch circuit 40, and the load connection terminal 30, that is, provide an emergency starting power supply for the automobile battery or the automobile engine, and here, the external emergency starting power supply can be understood as charging the automobile battery or the automobile engine, so that the automobile can be started when the automobile battery or the automobile engine is in a low power state.

Referring to fig. 1 again, the intelligent connection device 100 further includes a regulated power supply module 81 electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20, wherein the regulated power supply module 81 is configured to receive an input voltage of the battery assembly through the power connection terminal 20 and perform voltage conversion on the input voltage to output a stable voltage VCC, for example, a dc voltage of 5V, so as to provide a stable power supply voltage for each functional module of the intelligent connection device 100. For example, when an external emergency starting power supply is correctly connected to the intelligent connection device 100 through the power connection terminal 20, the regulated power supply module 81 can obtain the input voltage to normally operate, and output the regulated voltage VCC to supply power to each functional module inside the intelligent connection device 100, so that each functional module is powered on to normally operate. The regulated power supply module 81 may employ a DC-DC converter or a linear regulator, such as a low dropout regulator (LDO).

In this embodiment, the intelligent connection device 100 further includes a driving power module 43 electrically connected to the switch circuit 40, and the driving power module 43 is configured to provide driving power to the switch circuit 40, so that the switch circuit 40 is maintained in an energized and active state. In the present embodiment, the on-off state of the switch circuit 40 needs to be controlled when the switch circuit 40 is in the energized and active state, and when the switch circuit 40 is in the de-energized state, the switch circuit 40 is automatically turned off and disabled, and the on-off state cannot be controlled. It should be noted that reference herein to "disabling" of the switching circuit 40 means disabling the switching circuit 40 from responding to the associated signal, e.g. the drive signal, i.e. the switching circuit 40 is in an inactive state not controlled by the associated signal.

In one embodiment, the driving power module 43 is electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20, and the driving power of the switching circuit 40 is provided by a battery assembly electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the driving power supply module 43 may be electrically connected to the regulated power supply module 81, and the driving power supply of the switching circuit 40 is provided by the regulated voltage VCC output by the regulated power supply module 81.

The smart connection device 100 further includes a controller 70 electrically connected to the switch circuit 40, wherein the controller 70 is capable of outputting a driving signal relax _ EN2 to the switch circuit 40 in the power-on state to turn on the switch circuit 40 in the power-on and active state, so that the battery assembly can be electrically connected to the external load and perform a discharging output on the external load.

In this embodiment, the intelligent connecting device 100 further includes a key control module 82 electrically connected to the controller 70, and the key control module 82 is capable of receiving a pressing operation of a user to generate a key command, so as to force the controller 70 to output the driving signal release _ EN2, thereby realizing the discharging output of the battery assembly to an external load.

It will be appreciated that the operating modes of the controller 70 may include an automatic output mode and a forced output mode. In one embodiment, the controller 70 defaults to an automatic output mode upon power-up. When the controller 70 is in the automatic output mode, the controller 70 outputs the driving signal relax _ EN2 when it is determined that the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30 and the voltage of the external load satisfies a preset condition. The controller 70 enters the forced output mode upon receiving the key command, and immediately outputs the driving signal relax _ EN2 in response to the key command. In one embodiment, the controller 70 resumes the automatic output mode after responding to the key command and outputting the driving signal relax _ EN 2.

In the present embodiment, the switching circuit 40 includes a switching device 41 and a switch driving module 42, wherein the switching device 41 is electrically connected between the power connection terminal 20 and the load connection terminal 30. In this embodiment, the switching device 41 is electrically connected between the power supply positive connection terminal BAT + and the load positive connection terminal CAR +. In other embodiments, the switching device 41 may be electrically connected between the power supply negative connection terminal BAT and the load negative connection terminal CAR. The switching device 41 may employ an electromagnetic relay or a semiconductor power device, such as a MOSFET. In the present embodiment, the switching device 41 employs an electromagnetic relay K1.

The switch driving module 42 is electrically connected between the switch device 41 and the controller 70, and the controller 70 is configured to send the driving signal relax _ EN2 to the switch driving module 42 to turn on the switch device 41 through the switch driving module 42.

In this embodiment, the intelligent connecting device 100 further includes a reverse connection detecting module 50 electrically connected to the load connecting terminal 30, and the reverse connection detecting module 50 is configured to detect an access state of the external load through the load connecting terminal 30 and output a corresponding control signal C _ EN according to a detection result. The control signal C _ EN comprises a first control signal and a second control signal.

In this embodiment, the reverse connection detection module 50 is further electrically connected to the regulated power supply module 81, and the reverse connection detection module 50 is further configured to send the control signal C _ EN to the regulated power supply module 81 to control the regulated power supply module 81 to supply power to the controller 70, or control the regulated power supply module 81 to suspend supplying power to the controller 70.

Specifically, the reverse connection detection module 50 outputs the first control signal when detecting that the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, and outputs the first control signal to the regulated power supply module 81 to control the regulated power supply module 81 to suspend supplying power to the controller 70, so that the controller 70 is maintained in the power-off state and cannot output the driving signal relax _ EN2, thereby maintaining the switch circuit 40 in the power-off state, and further disconnecting the battery assembly from the external load, that is, cutting off the current output circuit 11 in which the battery assembly discharges the external load, so as to prohibit the battery assembly from discharging and outputting the external load. It is understood that the controller 70 stops operating in the power-off state, and thus cannot output the driving signal relax _ EN 2.

The reverse connection detection module 50 is further configured to output the second control signal when detecting that the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded or the external load is being connected to the load connection terminal 30, and output the second control signal to the regulated power supply module 81, so as to control the regulated power supply module 81 to resume supplying power to the controller 70, so that the controller 70 is in a power-on state. It will be appreciated that the controller 70 can operate normally when in the power-on state, and thus can normally control the on/off of the switching circuit 40 according to actual operating conditions.

Since the user can force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2 through the key control module 82, when the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, the power supply of the voltage-stabilized power supply module 81 to the controller 70 is cut off, so that the controller 70 is kept in the power-off state, and thus, the user can be prohibited from inputting a key command to force the controller 70 to output the driving signal relax _ EN2, and further, the battery assembly is prohibited from discharging and outputting the external load, so that the power safety of the circuit can be ensured. In addition, the power supply of the regulated power supply module 81 to the controller 70 is directly controlled by the control signal output from the reverse connection detection module 50, so that the first control signal corresponding to the reverse connection state of the external load can be quickly responded, and the discharge output of the battery pack to the external load can be timely disconnected.

The circuit structure and operation of the reverse connection detection module 50 and the regulated power supply module 81 will be described with reference to fig. 3 to 6.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the reverse connection detection module 50 is a combined switch circuit composed of transistors, and includes a first detection terminal 51, a second detection terminal 52, a driving voltage input terminal 53, a control signal output terminal 54, a first transistor Q3, and a second transistor Q6. The first detection terminal 51 is electrically connected to the load positive connection terminal CAR + and the second detection terminal 52 is electrically connected to the load negative connection terminal CAR-, as described above, and the load negative connection terminal CAR-is also electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND. The driving voltage input terminal 53 is electrically connected to a voltage source, and the reverse connection detection module 50 receives the driving voltage provided by the voltage source through the driving voltage input terminal 53, so that the reverse connection detection module 50 can operate normally. In one embodiment, such as the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the voltage source can be provided by the regulated voltage VCC output by the regulated power supply module 81 or by a battery assembly electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20. In another embodiment, such as the one shown in fig. 5, the voltage source is provided by a battery pack electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20.

In this embodiment, the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected between the first detection terminal 51 and the control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6, and the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is also electrically connected to the second detection terminal 52. The second transistor Q6 is electrically connected between the control signal output terminal 54 and a second ground terminal GND (power reference ground, i.e., power negative connection terminal), and the control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 is also electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a resistor R21.

Specifically, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the second detection terminal 52 through a resistor R22, and is electrically connected to the first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3 through a resistor R4. The first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the first detection terminal 51 through a diode D1, wherein a cathode of the diode D1 is electrically connected to the first detection terminal 51, and an anode of the diode D1 is electrically connected to the first connection terminal 2 of the first transistor Q3. The second connection 3 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 via a resistor R27. The control signal output terminal 54 is further electrically connected to a control terminal G of a control switch Q8 of a regulated power supply module 81 (shown in fig. 4) or a regulated power supply module 81' (shown in fig. 5) through a resistor R26, so that the reverse connection detection module 50 can output the control signal C _ EN to the regulated power supply module 81.

The first transistor Q3 and the second transistor Q6 are transistors that are turned on at a high level, such as NMOS transistors or NPN transistors. In this embodiment, the first transistor Q3 is an NPN transistor, and the second transistor Q6 is an NMOS transistor. It can be understood that the reverse connection detection module 50 implements a reverse connection detection function for the polarity of the external load by using a simple transistor (e.g., a diode, a triode, a field effect transistor) and a passive device (e.g., a resistor, a capacitor), so that the reverse connection state of the external load can be rapidly detected by using the characteristic that the transistor is fast in turning on and off, and the detection speed and effectiveness of the related protection function can be significantly improved.

In operation, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, that is, the positive electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load connection terminal CAR-, and the negative electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load connection terminal CAR +, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 receives a high level signal from the positive electrode of the external load, so that the first transistor Q3 is turned on. The control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 receives a low level signal by being electrically connected to the negative electrode of the external load through the turned-on first transistor Q3, turning off the second transistor Q6. The control signal output 54 is in a high impedance state.

If the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded, or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, that is, the positive electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load positive connection terminal CAR +, and the negative electrode of the external load is electrically connected to the load negative connection terminal CAR —, the control terminal 1 of the first transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the first ground terminal PGND and receives a low level signal, so that the first transistor Q3 is turned off. The control terminal 1 of the second transistor Q6 is electrically connected to the driving voltage input terminal 53 through a resistor R21 to receive a high level signal, so that the second transistor Q6 is turned on. The control signal output terminal 54 is electrically connected to the second ground terminal GND through the turned-on second transistor Q6 and is in a low level state, and at this time, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, which is a low level signal.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the regulated power supply module 81 includes a power input 811, a regulated power output 812, a regulated power generation module 813, and a control switch module 814, wherein the power input 811 is electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20, such as the positive power connection terminal BAT +, and the power input 811 is configured to receive the input voltage of the battery assembly through the power connection terminal 20. The regulated power supply generating module 813 is electrically connected between the power input terminal 811 and the regulated power supply output terminal 812, and the regulated power supply generating module 813 is configured to perform voltage conversion on the input voltage and output the regulated voltage at the regulated power supply output terminal 812. The regulated power generation module 813 includes a voltage regulator U1, and the voltage regulator U1 may be a DC-DC converter or a linear voltage regulator.

The control switch module 814 is electrically connected between the regulated power supply output 812 and the controller 70. The control switch module 814 includes a control switch Q8, the control switch Q8 is electrically connected between the regulated power supply output 812 and the controller 70, for example, as shown in fig. 6, the controller 70 employs a microcontroller U2, and one of the connection terminals D of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to pins VDD & VDD of the microcontroller U2. The microcontroller U2 receives drive voltages through its pins VDD & VDD.

Specifically, the first connection terminal S of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the regulated power supply output terminal 812, and the second connection terminal D of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the controller 70. The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the regulated power supply output terminal 812 through a resistor R23. The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is further electrically connected to the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50 through a resistor R26, so as to electrically connect the reverse connection detection module 50 to the regulated power supply module 81, and enable the regulated power supply module 81 to receive the control signal C _ EN output by the reverse connection detection module 50.

In this embodiment, the control switch Q8 is a transistor that is turned on at a low level, such as a PMOS transistor or a PNP transistor. As shown in fig. 4, the control switch Q8 is a PMOS transistor.

In operation, the reverse connection detection module 50 outputs the control signal C _ EN to the control end G of the control switch Q8 to switch the on/off state of the control switch Q8, so as to control the power supply state of the regulated power supply module 81 to the controller 70, and further control the power-on state of the controller 70.

Specifically, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 is in the high impedance state, but the control signal output terminal 54 is electrically connected to the control terminal G of the control switch Q8, so that the control signal output terminal 54 is in the high level state by being electrically connected to the regulated power supply output terminal 812 through the resistors R26 and R23, and here, it can also be understood that the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the first control signal, which is a high level signal.

The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the regulated power supply output terminal 812 and is in a high state, so that the control switch Q8 is in an off state, where it can also be understood that the control switch Q8 is in an off state because its control terminal G receives the first control signal (high signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to break the electrical connection between the regulated power supply output terminal 812 and the controller 70, i.e., to cut off the power supply input of the controller 70, so that the controller 70 cannot receive the regulated voltage and is kept in a power-off state. At this time, the controller 70 cannot output the driving signal relax _ EN2, so that the switching circuit 40 is kept in the off state, and the battery assembly is electrically disconnected from the external load, so as to prohibit the battery assembly from discharging and outputting the external load.

If the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, as mentioned above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, wherein the second control signal is a low level signal, the control switch Q8 enters a conducting state because its control terminal G receives the second control signal (low level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to conduct the electrical connection between the regulated power supply output terminal 812 and the controller 70, i.e., recover the power supply input of the controller 70, and make the controller 70 receive the regulated voltage and keep in the conducting state. At this time, the controller 70 can normally operate, so that the switching circuit 40 can be normally turned on and off according to an actual operating condition, and the battery pack discharges and outputs the external load.

It will be appreciated that in the one embodiment, the control switch Q8 is in a conducting state by default in the normal state, so that the regulated power supply module 81 can continuously output the stable voltage to provide the stable power supply voltage for each functional module of the intelligent connecting device 100 in the normal state.

It is understood that, in the embodiment, when the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, although the power supply of the controller 70 is cut off, the regulated power supply module 81 can still output the regulated voltage VCC at the regulated power supply output terminal 812, and therefore, the regulated power supply module 81 can still provide the operating voltage for other functional modules of the intelligent connection device 100, such as the reverse connection detection module 50, to ensure the safety and stability of the power consumption of each functional module of the intelligent connection device 100. Alternatively, the operating voltage of other functional modules of the intelligent connection device 100 may be provided by a battery pack electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20.

Referring to fig. 5, another embodiment of the present application provides another structure of a regulated power supply module. The embodiment shown in fig. 5 provides a regulated power supply module 81' different from the regulated power supply module 81 provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in that: the control switch Q8 of the control switch module 814 is electrically connected between the power input 811 and the regulated power supply generation module 813. The regulated power supply output 812 is electrically connected to the controller 70.

In the other embodiment, the first connection terminal S of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the power input 811, and the second connection terminal D of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the voltage input of the regulated power generation module 813. The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the power input 811 through a resistor R23. The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is further electrically connected to the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50 through a resistor R26, so as to electrically connect the reverse connection detection module 50 to the regulated power supply module 81, and enable the regulated power supply module 81 to receive the control signal C _ EN output by the reverse connection detection module 50.

In operation, the reverse connection detection module 50 outputs the control signal C _ EN to the control terminal of the control switch Q8 to switch the on/off state of the control switch Q8, so as to control the power supply state of the regulated power supply module 81', and further control the power-on state of the controller 70.

Specifically, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 is in the high impedance state, but the control signal output terminal 54 is electrically connected to the control terminal G of the control switch Q8, so that the control signal output terminal 54 is in the high level state by being electrically connected to the power input terminal 811 through the resistors R26 and R23, and here, it can also be understood that the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the first control signal, which is a high level signal.

The control terminal G of the control switch Q8 is electrically connected to the power input terminal 811 and is in a high state, so that the control switch Q8 is in an off state, and here, it can also be understood that the control switch Q8 is in an off state because the control terminal G thereof receives the first control signal (high signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to break the electrical connection between the power input terminal 811 and the regulated power generation module 813, i.e., to cut off the power supply input of the regulated power generation module 813, so that the regulated power generation module 813 cannot receive the input voltage and suspends outputting the regulated voltage, thereby keeping the controller 70 in the power-off state.

If the load connection terminal 30 is empty or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, where the second control signal is a low level signal, and the control switch Q8 enters a conducting state because its control terminal G receives the second control signal (low level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to conduct the electrical connection between the power input terminal 811 and the regulated power generation module 813, i.e., recover the power supply input of the regulated power generation module 813, so that the regulated power generation module 813 receives the input voltage and outputs the regulated voltage, thereby keeping the controller in the conducting state.

It is understood that, in the another embodiment, when the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, since the regulated power supply generating module 813 suspends outputting the regulated voltage, the regulated power supply module 81 cannot provide the operating voltage to other functional modules of the intelligent connection device 100, for example, the reverse connection detecting module 50, and thus the operating voltage of the other functional modules of the intelligent connection device 100 needs to be provided by the battery pack electrically connected to the power connection terminal 20.

Wherein the anode of the LED2 is electrically connected to the voltage source, and the cathode of the LED2 is electrically connected to the second connection terminal 3 of the switch unit Q1 through a resistor R16. The horn LS1 is electrically connected to the second connection 3 of the switching unit Q1 via a resistor R10. The second connection 3 of the switching unit Q1 is also electrically connected to the voltage source via a capacitor C6.

In this embodiment, the switching unit Q1 is a high-level conducting transistor, such as an NMOS transistor or an NPN transistor.

In operation, if the external load is reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the first control signal, wherein the first control signal is a high level signal, the switch unit Q1 enters a conducting state because its control terminal 1 receives the first control signal (high level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to conduct the loop where the LED2 and the speaker LS1 are located, so that the LED2 emits light and the speaker LS1 emits an alarm sound to prompt the external load to be reversely connected to the load connection terminal 30.

If the load connection terminal 30 is unloaded or the external load is connected to the load connection terminal 30, as described above, the control signal output terminal 54 outputs the second control signal, wherein the second control signal is a low level signal, the switch unit Q1 enters an off state because the control terminal 1 thereof receives the second control signal (low level signal) output by the control signal output terminal 54 of the reverse connection detection module 50, so as to cut off the loop where the LED2 and the speaker LS1 are located, make the LED2 not emit light and make the speaker LS1 not emit an alarm sound.
