Charging system for electric vehicle
A charging system for an electric vehicle is disclosed in the present invention. It includes a rechargeable battery module, a motor driver, a power switch, and a control circuit. The motor driver stops outputting electric power from the rechargeable battery when the control signal from the control circuit is received and keeps outputting electric power from the rechargeable battery when the control signal doesn't exit. The design of the present invention is in a series connection. It can not only be charged simultaneously, but also control the drive motor to stop running. Danger of hard acceleration of the motor due to charge can be avoided.
1. A charging system for an electric vehicle, comprising:
a rechargeable battery module, having a plurality of rechargeable batteries connected in series or in parallel, for providing electric power and storing electric power from an external power source;
a motor driver, linked to the rechargeable battery module, for controlling output of the electric power from the rechargeable battery module by a control signal;
a power switch, connected to the rechargeable battery module and the external power source, for conducting electric power between the rechargeable battery module and the external power source when electric potential in the external power source is higher than that in the rechargeable battery module, and stopping electric power conduction between the rechargeable battery module and the external power source when electric potential in the external power source is lower than that in the rechargeable battery module; and
a control circuit, connected with the external power source and the motor driver, for generating the control signal to the motor driver when there is an current from the external power source;
wherein the motor driver stops outputting electric power from the rechargeable battery when the control signal is received and keeps outputting electric power from the rechargeable battery when the control signal doesn't exist.
2. The charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the motor driver is linked to a motor or a light.
3. The charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the external power source is an AC/DC converter, a charge controller, a direct current battery, a direct current power or a power factor correction power (PFC) supply.
4. The charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the power switch is passive type or active type.
5. The charging system according to claim 4 , wherein the passive type switch is a diode.
6. The charging system according to claim 4 , wherein the active type switch is a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET).
7. The charging system according to claim 1 , wherein the control signal is a current.
