Abstract

The present application provides a charge and discharge circuit, and relates to the field of battery power. The charge and discharge circuit comprises: a charge circuit comprising a battery pack, a first switch set and a charging device connected in series; and a discharge circuit comprising the battery pack, a second switch set and an electrical device connected in series; both the first switch set and the second switch set comprise at least one switch, and the at least one switch in the first and/or second switch set is a semiconductor switch.

Claims (14)

1. A charge and discharge circuit, comprising:

a charge circuit comprising a battery pack, a first switch set and a charging device connected in series, wherein the charge circuit is configured to charge the battery pack by using the charging device and pre-charge the charging device; and

a discharge circuit comprising the battery pack, a second switch set and an electrical device connected in series, wherein the discharge circuit is configured to allow the battery pack to discharge to the electrical device and pre-charge the electrical device;

wherein both the first switch set and the second switch set include at least one switch, and all switches in the first switch set and the second switch set are semiconductor switches;

wherein the second switch set comprises an eighth switch and a ninth switch, the first switch set comprises a tenth switch and an eleventh switch, a first end of the eighth switch is connected to one end of the electrical device, and a first end of the tenth switch is connected to one end of the charging device,

a second end of the eighth switch is connected to a negative electrode of the battery pack, the other end of the electrical device is connected to a second end of the ninth switch, and a first end of the ninth switch is connected to a positive electrode of the battery pack;

a second end of the tenth switch is connected to the positive electrode of the battery pack, a second end of the eleventh switch is connected to the negative electrode of the battery pack, and a first end of the eleventh switch is connected to the other end of the charging device; and

the charge and discharge circuit further comprises a controller, and the controller is configured to:

send a turn-on signal to the tenth switch to control the tenth switch to be turned on, send a turn-off signal to the eighth switch and the ninth switch to control the eighth switch and the ninth switch to be turned off, and send a pulse signal to the eleventh switch to control the eleventh switch to be turned on at intervals, so as to pre-charge the charging device;

send a turn-on signal to the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to control the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to be turned on, and send a turn-off signal to the eighth switch and the ninth switch to control the eighth switch and the ninth switch to be turned off, so as to allow the charging device to charge the battery pack;

send a turn-on signal to the ninth switch to control the ninth switch to be turned on, sending a turn-off signal to the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to control the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to be turned off, and send a pulse signal to the eighth switch to control the eighth switch to be turned on at intervals, so as to pre-charge the electrical device; and

send a turn-on signal to the eighth switch and the ninth switch to control the eighth switch and the ninth switch to be turned on, and send turn-off signal to the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to control the tenth switch and the eleventh switch to be turned off, so as to allow the battery pack to discharge to the electrical device.

2. The charge and discharge circuit of claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor switches include a MOSFET or an IGBT.

3. The charge and discharge circuit of claim 2 , wherein a first end of the MOSFET or the IGBT is a drain, and a second end of the MOSFET or the IGBT is a source.
