Compulsory charging and protective circuit for secondary battery after being over discharged
A compulsory charging and protective circuit for secondary battery after being over discharged is disclosed. The circuit includes a circuit conducting switch, a releasing unit, a triggering unit and a comparing unit. When the secondary battery is over discharged, a temporary electrical connection is provided by the present invention. The loop of the secondary battery and a charger keeps. When the secondary battery recovers from abnormal status, the temporary electrical connection is called off so that the secondary battery can keep normal operation. Thus, when the secondary battery is under over-discharge, it doesn't have to be unloaded for repair to settle the issue. Maintenance costs can be saved.
1. A compulsory charging and protective circuit for secondary battery after being over discharged, comprising:
a circuit conducting switch, connected in parallel with a charging control switch and a discharging control switch which are connected in series in a secondary battery at two ends, opening to electrically conduct the two ends;
a releasing unit, for connecting to a ground after a releasing voltage is received;
a triggering unit, connected to the circuit conducting switch and the releasing unit, for electrically conducting a connection between the circuit conducting switch and the releasing unit after a triggering signal is received; and
a comparing unit, electrically connected to the secondary battery, for comparing a value of a voltage difference between an anode and a cathode of the secondary battery with a minimum allowable voltage value; when the value of the voltage difference is greater than the minimum allowable voltage value, a normal voltage is provided to the releasing unit; when the value of the voltage difference is smaller than the minimum allowable voltage value, the releasing voltage is provided to the releasing unit;
wherein when the releasing unit is connected to the ground and the triggering unit conducts electrical connection between the circuit conducting switch and the releasing unit, the circuit conducting switch turns on.
2. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the triggering unit is further connected to a triggering switch; when the triggering switch turns on, the triggering signal is sent to the triggering unit.
3. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 2 , wherein the triggering unit is a silicon controlled rectifier.
4. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 3 , wherein a gate of the silicon controlled rectifier is connected to the triggering switch; when the triggering switch turns on, the gate receives a high level voltage.
5. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising a power, connected to the circuit conducting switch, for providing power for operation of the circuit conducting switch.
6. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the comparing unit is a comparator.
7. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 6 , wherein an input of the comparator is connected to a circuit signal source of the secondary battery.
8. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 7 , wherein the circuit signal source is a discharging control switch pin or a working voltage pin (VDD) of the battery management chip of the secondary battery.
9. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the releasing unit comprises a field effect transistor and a parasitic diode.
10. The compulsory charging and protective circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit conducting switch is a MOS relay.
