Description

继电器及使用该继电器的动力电池电路 技术领域
本发明涉及电力电气设计领域,尤其涉及一种用于高压回路的继电器以及使用该继电器的动力电池电路。
背景技术
目前市场上大多数纯电动汽车,使用的动力电池继电器都是由低压12V系统驱动的。基本原理是,在蓄电池的高压回路里,串/并联上继电器和预充电阻,来实现高压的上下电,电路图如图1所示。
如图所示,在整个系统中,三个继电器由低压电源驱动,一般为车载的12V供电。此系统存在的一个重大问题,就是无法应对低压供电电压的波动。
电动汽车的诸多附件都是由12V低压提供电源的,比如空调压缩机,转向助力,冷却风扇,照明,雨刮等。这些用电器的工作状态经常处在动态变化中,导致对12V低压电源的需求不稳定,在某些极端工况下可能造成电压的陡降。这种电压陡降一旦降到某一阀值之下,高压回路的继电器由于提供的能量无法维持继电器闭合,就会被迫打开继电器造成高压回路断路。这种情况无疑会对驾驶的安全造成重大影响。
因此,本领域需要一种改进的继电器方案,以克服低压源的电压波动对高压继电器状态的影响。
发明内容
以下给出一个或多个方面的简要概述以提供对这些方面的基本理解。此概述不是所有构想到的方面的详尽综览,并且既非旨在指认出所有方面的关键性或决定性要素亦非试图界定任何或所有方面的范围。其唯一的目的是要以简化形式给出一个或多个方面的一些概念以为稍后给出的更加详细的描述之序。
根据本发明的一方面,提供了一种用于高压回路的继电器,该继电器的开关由低压源驱动,该继电器包括:
主线圈和与该主线圈配合的第一衔铁,该主线圈的线圈电流由该低电压源供电,该第一衔铁位于该高压回路中,响应于该主线圈的失电和得电而相应地处于使该高压回路断开和闭合的位置,
与该第一衔铁配合的副线圈和为该副线圈供电的驱动回路,该驱动回路由该高压回路的高压源供电,该副线圈在该驱动回路闭合时得电从而产生使该第一衔铁处于闭合位置的附加电磁力,以及
与该主线圈配合的第二衔铁,该第二衔铁位于该驱动回路中,响应于该主线圈的失电和得电而相应地处于使该驱动回路断开或闭合的位置。
在一实例中,该第一衔铁和该第二衔铁为联动结构。
在一实例中,该副线圈的线圈匝数被设计为使得该副线圈产生的对该第一衔铁的该附加电磁力小于该第一衔铁和该第二衔铁的总回复力。
在一实例中,该副线圈的线圈匝数被设计为使得该副线圈产生的对该第一衔铁的该附加电磁力大于由于该第二衔铁而引起的附加回复力。
在一实例中,该主线圈至少在该低压源处于标称值时提供的电磁力大于该第一衔铁和该第二衔铁的总回复力。
在一实例中,该副线圈的轴线与该第一衔铁对准且位于该第一衔铁近旁以使该副线圈得电时在该第一衔铁处的磁场密度最大化。
在一实例中,该副线圈的线圈缠绕走向被设计为该高压源在充电和放电时,该副线圈产生的对该第一衔铁的该附加电磁力皆处在使该第一衔铁处于闭合位置的方向上。
在一实例中,该低压源为12V电压源。
根据本发明的另一方面,还提供了一种动力电池电路,包括:
高压电池组;以及
逆变器,通过高压回路与该高压电池组相连,用于将该高压电池组的直流电转换为交流电,

附图说明
在结合以下附图阅读本公开的实施例的详细描述之后,能够更好地理解本发明的上述特征和优点。在附图中,各组件不一定是按比例绘制,并且具有类似的相关特性或特征的组件可能具有相同或相近的附图标记。

具体实施方式
以下结合附图和具体实施例对本发明作详细描述。注意,以下结合附图和具体实施例描述的诸方面仅是示例性的,而不应被理解为对本发明的保护范围进行任何限制。
如图1所示,继电器的主要构件包括衔铁101和线圈102(内含铁芯),并 利用衔铁101与线圈102之间的电磁力实现通断。详言之,当线圈中没有电流时,衔铁101在回复力(例如由弹簧产生)的作用下保持在断开位置,即衔铁上的动触点与高压母线上的静触点分开。
当线圈两端加上一定的电压,线圈中就会流过一定的电流,从而产生电磁效应,衔铁101就会在电磁力的作用下克服回复力而移动至闭合位置,即带动衔铁上的动触点与高压母线上的静触点吸合。
当线圈再次断电后,电磁力也随之消失,衔铁101就会在回复力的作用下返回原来的位置,使动触点与高压母线上的静触点释放。这样吸合、释放,从而达到了在电路中的导通、切断的目的。
在衔铁处于闭合位置时,衔铁受到的电磁力必需大于回复力才能保持在闭合位置。电磁力受到线圈电流的大小影响。如前所述,在纯电动汽车的动力电池电路中,线圈由低压源(例如,12V电压)供电。而同时电动汽车中许多附件诸如空调压缩机,转向助力,冷却风扇,照明,雨刮等皆由该同样的12V电压源供电,这些电子器件的工作状态的变化导致该12V电压源极不稳定,容易波动。12V电压源的波动影响到线圈电流的变化,进而影响到电磁力的稳定。当该低压源的电压陡降到某一阀值之下时,高压回路的继电器由于提供的能量无法提供足够的电磁力以维持继电器闭合,就会被迫打开继电器造成高压回路断路,从而对安全驾驶造成影响。
在本发明中,通过引入附加线圈,在继电器闭合时提供额外的电磁力以保持继电器闭合。该附加线圈利用高压电系统作为能量源以提供足以维持闭合继电器所需要的能量,同时出于安全性能和与现有系统整合便利性的考虑,依旧使用低压源作为启动电源,使用该低压源作为断开继电器的指令。此方案隔绝了继电器低压部分和高压维持部分,高压部分仅作为闭合力增强的,继电器的开关仍然由低压部分控制,确保了意外情况下,断开继电器的功能。
图2示出了根据本发明的一方面的继电器200的结构示意图。注意,图2示出的仅是结构示意图,图中的各部件之间的相对位置并不一定反应真实的部件之间的位置关系。
继电器200的作用是控制高压回路231的通断,其开关由低压源驱动。如图2所示,继电器200包括主线圈211和与主线圈211配合的第一衔铁212。
第一衔铁212位于高压回路231中,当主线圈211得电时产生的电磁力使得第一衔铁212克服回复力移动至闭合位置,即带动第一衔铁212上的动触点与高压母线上的静触点闭合。当主线圈211失电时电磁力消逝使得第一衔铁212由于回复力返回至断开位置,即带动第一衔铁212上的动触点与高压母线上的静触点分开。
如前所述,主线圈211的线圈由低压源供电,在闭合状态下,由于低压源的电压波动使得用于维持第一衔铁212闭合的电磁力产生波动,导致第一衔铁212 有断开的风险。
为此,为继电器200特别设计了与第一衔铁212配合的副线圈221以用于在第一衔铁212处于闭合位置时为第一衔铁212提供额外的电磁力。
特别地副线圈221通过驱动回路232由高压源供电。驱动回路232中设计有第二衔铁222,驱动回路232的通断由与主线圈211配合的第二衔铁222控制。
当主线圈211得电时,产生的电磁力使得第二衔铁222克服回复力移动至闭合位置,即带动第二衔铁222上的动触点与驱动回路上的静触点闭合。当主线圈211失电时电磁力消逝使得第二衔铁222由于回复力返回至断开位置,即带动第二衔铁212上的动触点与驱动回路上的静触点分开。
特别地,第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222可为联动机构,即两者是同步运动的。例如,第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222可固定在同一支架上,由此实现两者的同步联动。以此方式,能够使得第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222是同步断开或闭合的。
在驱动回路232中的第一衔铁222处于闭合位置时,副线圈221得电,由此在主线圈211产生的对第一衔铁222的电磁力之外,产生额外的电磁力以保持第一衔铁212处于闭合位置。
在本发明中,由于副线圈221的电流来自于高压源供电,因此能够产生足够的电磁力以维持第一衔铁212的闭合。此外,副线圈221的得电和失电仍然是通过低压源控制的,即当低压源给主线圈211供电以闭合第一衔铁212时,第二衔铁222的闭合也使得副线圈221得电从而提供辅助的额外电磁力以保持第一衔铁212闭合。另一方面,当希望断开第一衔铁212时,只要低压源给主线圈211断电,此时由于第二衔铁222的断开也让副线圈221失电从而使得第一衔铁212能正常断开。
一般地,在增加第二衔铁222之后,也可能会产生额外的回复力。在第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222为联动结构情况下,为了增强第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222在闭合状态下的闭合能力,可以将副线圈221的匝数设计成使得副线圈221在得电时产生的电磁力大于由于增加第二衔铁222所增加的回复力。
当然,在增加第二衔铁222之后由于可能产生额外的回复力,但在继电器200在断开时,副线圈221却不能提供电磁力,所以在第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222为联动结构情况下,为了主线圈211在低压源至少处于标称值时提供的电磁力需要大于第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222的总回复力。
此外,在第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222为联动结构情况下,如果副线圈221在得电时产生的电磁力过大,则在主线圈211失电时可能会由于副线圈211的电磁力而使得第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222保持闭合,从而失去低压源对于继电器的开关控制。为此,可将副线圈221的匝数设计成使得副线圈221在得电时产生的电磁力小于第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222的总回复力,由此确保在主线圈211失电时,第一衔铁212和第二衔铁222能够断开,从而起到断开继电器200的目 的。
图3示出了副线圈的安装示意图。图3中虚线的左侧是副线圈221和第一衔铁212的安装结构的正视图,虚线的右侧是侧视图。
如图3所示,副线圈221的轴线与第一衔铁212对准,这样使得副线圈221在得电时产生的磁力线中心正好穿过第一衔铁212,可以使电磁力最大。同时,使副线圈221位于第一衔铁212近旁,例如如图3的侧视图中第一衔铁212和副线圈221的轴线距离a可尽可能地小,以尽可能大地利用副线圈221产生的磁场,提高第一衔铁212处的磁场密度。
以图3中的电流方向为例,第一衔铁212上流过的电流向右,副线圈221的电流方向产生的磁力线方向在正视图中垂直纸面向里,根据左手定理可以知道产生的洛伦兹力向上正好是使第一衔铁212闭合的方向。
此外,如前所述,继电器200可能是用在纯电动汽车中的动力电池电路中,如图1中所示。在这样的动力电池电路中,高压回路中的电流在高压电池组充电和放电时,具有不同的电流方向。
在此情况下,在本发明中,副线圈221的线圈缠绕走向被设计为高压源在充电和放电时,副线圈221产生的对第一衔铁212的附加电磁力皆处在使第一衔铁212处于闭合位置的方向上。
图4a示出了充电时第一衔铁和磁场方向以及磁场力方向之间的关系图。图4b示出了放电时第一衔铁和磁场方向以及磁场力方向之间的关系图。
如图4a所示,假设高压源在充电时,高压母线中电流方向向右,此时,可将副线圈221的线圈缠绕走向设计成使得高压源通过驱动回路232提供的电流产生的磁场方向为垂直纸面向里,则根据左手定理产生的磁场力方向向上以使第一衔铁212闭合。
在此设计下,假设高压源放电,此时高压母线中的电流方向改为向左,同时,同样由高压源供电的驱动回路232中的电流方向也发生变化,从而使副线圈221中的电流也反向,进而使最终的磁场方向改为垂直纸面向外,此时根据左手定理产生的磁场力方向仍然向上以使第一衔铁212闭合。
在本发明中,通过利用同样的高压源为副线圈221供电,使得在特定的副线圈221缠绕方式下,不论是高压源放电还是充电,都能够确保第一衔铁受到的洛伦兹力是有利于继电器的闭合。这在动力电池电路这种需要充放电的电路中是契合其充放电场景需求的。
本发明还提供了一种含有上述继电器的动力电池电路,其中的高压电池组即为上述的高压源。这样的动力电池电路可用于电动汽车中。
