Battery charge/discharge control device and battery management device
The present invention provides a battery charge/discharge control device including a contactor driver which is on/off controlled according to AN output signal of a micro control unit (MCU), a contactor coil through which current flows according to an on/off state of the contactor driver, and whose one end is electrically connected to the contactor driver and the other end is electrically connected to a power source, and a contactor which is turned on by the current flowing through the contactor coil so as to perform charging and discharging of the battery.
1. A battery charge/discharge control device comprising:
a contactor driver which is on/off controlled according to an output signal of a micro control unit (MCU);
a contactor coil coupled to the contactor driver and through which current flows according to an on/off state of the contactor driver, wherein one end of the contactor coil is electrically connected to the contactor driver and another end of the contactor coil is electrically connected to a power source;
a contactor which is turned on by the current flowing through the contactor coil so as to perform charging and discharging of the battery via the contactor; and
a monostable vibrator which is located between the and the contactor driver, and is configured to output an on signal to the contactor driver when an output signal of the MCU is a signal, which is a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, and output an off signal to the contactor driver when the output signal of the MCU is an on signal or an off signal.
2. The battery charge/discharge control device according to claim 1 , wherein the monostable vibrator is turned on by receiving an enable signal from the MCU.
3. The battery charge/discharge control device according to claim 2 , wherein the contactor driver is any one of FET and gate drivers.
4. The battery charge/discharge control device according to claim 2 , wherein current flows through the contactor coil when the contactor driver is turned on, and the current does not flow therethrough when the contactor driver is turned off.
5. The battery charge/discharge control device according to claim 4 , wherein the contactor is turned on when the current flows through the contactor coil, and is turned off when the current does not flow through the contactor coil.
6. The battery charge/discharge control device according to claim 5 , further comprising a digital isolator between the monostable vibrator and the contactor driver.
7. A battery management device comprising:
a micro control unit (MCU) configured to control a switching unit by receiving a measured current and voltage of a battery to determine whether to charge or discharge the battery; and
a switch control unit configured to control charging or discharging of the battery by turning on/off a switch according to a signal received from the MCU,
wherein the switch control unit comprises:
a contactor driver which is on/off controlled according to an output signal of the MCU;
a contactor coil coupled to the contactor driver and through which current flows according to an on/off state of the contactor driver, wherein one end of the contactor coil is electrically connected to the contactor driver and another end of the contactor coil is electrically connected to a power source; and
a monostable vibrator which is located between the MCU and the contactor driver, and is configured to output an on signal to the contactor driver when an output signal of the MCU is a signal, which is a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, and output an off signal to the contactor driver when the output signal of the MCU is an on signal or an off signal.
8. The battery management device according to claim 7 , wherein the contactor driver is any one of FET and gate drivers.
9. The battery management device according to claim 7 , wherein current flows through the contactor coil when the contactor driver is turned on, and the current does not flow therethrough when the contactor driver is turned off.
10. The battery management device according to claim 9 , wherein the contactor is turned on when the current flows through the contactor coil, and is turned off when the current does not flow through the contactor coil.
11. The battery management device according to claim 7 , wherein the switch is a contactor.
