     SUMMARY 
     Technical Problem 
     The method of charging, the battery while ensuring extra charging capacity has the disadvantage that the travel range offered by the battery is reduced because the battery is not fully charged. Moreover, because the bicycle is used under various travelling conditions, the charging current to the battery from the driving motor may significantly fluctuate, causing the battery to be charged momentarily with a large current. When the battery is charged With a large current, the voltage increases abruptly, causing various kinds of adverse effects on the battery.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electric bicycle battery pack that can limit a voltage increase due to the charging current from the driving motor to prevent the battery deterioration resulting from the voltage increase and can further ensure sufficient safely, and to provide an electric bicycle that is equipped with the battery pack.

       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
         FIG.  1    is a block diagram of an electric bicycle battery pack according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 
     
    
    
     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     Embodiments of the present invention may be embodied by the following configurations. 
     A battery pack for an electric bicycle according to a first exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a rechargeable battery, a charge FET including a parallel diode connected in series with the battery, and a control circuit configured to control turning on and off of the charge FET. The control circuit includes a discriminating circuit configured to detect a bicycle-mounted state and a charger-connected state and a memory configured to store a full charge voltage of the battery. The control circuit is configured to, while the discriminating circuit detects the bicycle-mounted state, turn off the charge FET. The control circuit is configured to, while the discriminating circuit detects the charger-connected state, stop charging the battery by switching the charge FET to turn off the charge FET upon detecting that a voltage of the battery charged by a charger becomes higher than the full charge voltage. 
     The above electric bicycle battery pack turns off the charge FET in the bicycle-mounted state of being mounted on the bicycle. The charge FET connected to a parallel diode, such as a parasitic diode, causes electric power to be supplied from the battery to the driving motor even when the charge FET is turned off. While the battery pack is mounted on the bicycle, the battery pack prohibits the battery from being charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor while allowing the battery to supply electric power to the driving motor. When the battery pack is mounted on the bicycle and charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor so that the battery voltage exceeds the full charge voltage, deterioration of the battery is accelerated and safely is lowered. The battery pack switches the charge FET to turn off the charge FET while the battery pack is mounted on the bicycle prohibits the battery from being charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor while the battery pack is mounted on the bicycle. Therefore, the battery pack prevents deterioration of a battery resulting from the electromotive force of the driving motor when mounted on the bicycle, thus ensuring sufficient safety. 
     A battery pack for an electric bicycle according to a second exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a rechargeable battery, a charge FET including a parallel diode connected in series with the battery, and a control circuit configured to turning on and off of controlling the charge FET. The control circuit includes a discriminating circuit configured to detect a bicycle-mounted state and a charger-connected state and a memory configured to store a full charge voltage of the battery and a threshold voltage lower than the full charge voltage. The control circuit is configured, while the discriminating circuit detects the bicycle-mounted state, to: turn off the charge FET while a voltage of the battery is higher than the threshold voltage; and turn on the charge FET while the voltage of the battery is lower than the threshold voltage. The control circuit is configured, while the discriminating circuit detects the charger-connected state, to stop charging the battery by switching the charge FET to turn off the charge FET upon detecting that the voltage of the battery charged by a charger becomes higher than the full charge voltage. 
     The above battery pack turns off the charge FET in the bicycle-mounted state in which the battery pack is mounted on the bicycle so as to prohibit the battery from being charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor when the battery voltage is higher than the threshold voltage which is predetermined to be a voltage lower than the full charge voltage. Therefore, although the battery is charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor in the state where the battery voltage is low, the battery voltage does not exceed the full charge voltage in that state, so that battery deterioration can be prevented and sufficient safety can be ensured. When the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, the charge FET is turned on to permit charging by the electromotive force of the driving motor. However, the threshold voltage may be set to a voltage at which the battery is charged by the electromotive force but does not exceed the full charge voltage. Therefore even when the battery is charged by the electromotive force of the driving motor while the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, the battery voltage does not exceed the full charge voltage, so that battery deterioration is prevented and safety is ensured. 
     A battery pack for an electric bicycle according to a third exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a rechargeable battery, a charge FET including a parallel diode connected in series with the battery, and a control circuit configured to control turning on and off of the charge FET. The control circuit includes a discriminating circuit configured to detect a bicycle-mounted state and a charger-connected state and a memory configured to store a full charge voltage of the battery and a threshold current of a load current. The control circuit is configured, while the discriminating circuit detects the bicycle-mounted state, to: turn off the charge FET when the load current is smaller than the threshold current; and turn on the charge FET when the load current is larger than the threshold current. The control circuit is configured, while the discriminating circuit detects the charger-connected state, to stop charging, the battery by switching the charge FET to turn off the charge FET upon detecting that the voltage of the battery charged by a charger is higher than the full charge voltage. 
     In the bicycle-mounted state of being mounted on the bicycle, the above battery pack turns off the charge FET state when the load current is smaller than the threshold current, but turns on the charge FET when the load current is larger than the threshold current. The charge FET connected to a parallel diode allows electric power to be supplied from the battery to the driving motor via the parallel diode when the charge FET is turned off. While the charge FET is turned off and electric power is supplied via the parallel diode, a voltage drop occurs due to the parallel diode. The voltage drop due to the parallel diode is larger than the voltage drop due to the FET which is turned on. An ordinary diode provides the voltage drop of about 0.6 V. In contrast, the internal resistance of the FET which is turned on is significantly small, about several milliohms, so the FET produces a smaller voltage drop than the parallel diode when electric current passes through. The parallel diode, which causes a larger voltage drop, produces electric power loss increasing proportionally to a current. Therefore, a large current supplied from the battery to the driving motor increases electric power loss in the charge FET which is turned off. The above battery pack turns on the charge FET when the load current is larger than the threshold current, so the battery pack may reduce electric power loss due to the charge FET when the large current is supplied from the battery to the driving motor. 
     In a bicycle battery pack according to a fourth exemplary aspect of the present invention, the control circuit includes an A/D converter configured to convert the voltage of the battery into a digital signal. The control circuit is configured to calculate the voltage of the battery by processing the digital signal converted by the A/D converter. 
     In a battery pack according to a fifth exemplary aspect of the present invention, the charge FET is a MOSFET including a parasitic diode as the parallel diode. 
     In an electric bicycle battery pack according to a sixth exemplary aspect of the present invention, the rechargeable battery is a lithium-ion battery. 
     An electric bicycle according to a seventh exemplary aspect of the present invention includes one of the above battery packs and a driving motor connected to the battery pack via a control converter, the driving motor configured to supply a charging current to the battery pack during regenerative braking of the bicycle. 
     The present invention will be detailed below with reference to the drawings. Although the following description uses directional terms and positional terms (for example, “upward,” “downward,” and other terms including these words) to indicate specific: directions and positions as needed, such terms are merely used to facilitate understanding of the invention with reference to the drawings and are intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

     Exemplary Embodiment 1 
     Electric bicycle battery pack  100  shown in the block diagram of  FIG.  1    includes rechargeable battery  1 , charge FET  3  including parallel diode  7  connected in series with battery  1 , and control circuit  2  configured to control turning on and off of charge FET  3 . The block diagram of the drawing also shows bicycle  20  to which battery pack  100  is connected, and charger  30  that charges battery pack  100 . While being mounted on bicycle  20 , battery pack  100  is configured to supply electric power to driving motor  21  that drives bicycle  20 . While being connected to charger  30 , battery pack  100  is removed from bicycle  20  and connected to charger  30 . While being mounted on bicycle  20 , battery pack  100  supplies electric power to driving motor  21  to impart a driving force to bicycle  20 . 
     In addition to charge FET  3 , battery pack  100  shown in  FIG.  1    includes discharge FET  4  configured to control discharging of batter  1 . Charge FET  3  and discharge FET  4  are controlled to be turned on and off by control circuit  2 . Control circuit  2  includes discriminating circuit  5  and memory  6 . Discriminating circuit  5  is configured to detect a bicycle-mounted state in which battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20  and a charger-connected state in which battery pack  100  is connected to charger  30 . Memory  6  is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory. Memory  6  is configured to store a full charge voltage for stopping charging upon detecting that battery  1  having a voltage increase is fully charged. 
     Each of charge FET  3  and discharge FET  4  is a MOSFET connected to a parasitic diode as parallel diode  7 . Each of charge FET  3  and discharge FET  4  may be implemented by an FET without a parasitic diode and a high-current diode that is a separate component connected in parallel to the FET, or a large-current diode may be connected in parallel to the parasitic diode. A diode exhibiting excellent large-current characteristics is used so that a large current can be supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21 . A diode that causes a low voltage drop is particularly suitable. However, in the case of a battery pack that turns on charge FET  3  to supply a large current from the FET to driving motor  21  while a large current is supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21 , the large current is supplied from the FET to the driving motor and therefore parallel diode  7  does not necessarily require large-current characteristics. Battery pack  100  shown in  FIG.  1    includes an N-channel MOS for each of charge FET  3  and discharge FET  4 . A P-channel FET may be used for each of the charge FET and the discharge FET. 
     Discriminating circuit  5  shown in the block diagram of  FIG.  1    is connected to bicycle  20  via connecting terminal  12 . Bicycle-side connecting terminal  22  is connected to ground line  24  via resistor  23 . In battery pack  100 , connecting terminal  12  is connected to power supply  14  via pull-up resistor  13 . Discriminating circuit  5  is configured to detect the voltage of connecting terminal  12  so as to discriminate the bicycle-mounted state and the charger-connected state. Regarding discriminating circuit  5 , while battery pack  100  is connected to bicycle  20 , the voltage of connecting terminal  12  becomes lower than the power supply voltage that is divided by pull-up resistor  13  and bicycle-side resistor  23 . While battery pack  100  is connected to charger  30 , the voltage of connecting terminal  12  is the power supply voltage because connecting terminal  12  is not connected to ground line  24  Accordingly, discriminating circuit  5  determines that a state in which the voltage of connecting terminal  12  is lower than the power supply voltage is the bicycle-mounted state, and discriminating circuit  5  determines that a state in which the voltage of connecting terminal  12  is lower than the power supply voltage is the charger-connected state. 
     While battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20 , driving motor  21  may serve as a generator to charge battery pack  100  due to, for example, regenerative braking. When battery pack  100  is charged, the voltage increase. When battery pack  100  is charged by the electromotive force of driving motor  21 , the voltage of battery pack  100  increases. The increased voltage of battery pack  100  higher than a predetermined value deteriorates electrical characteristics, and further it may cause safety hazard. For example, lithium-ion batteries are often used suitably for battery pack  100  because they have light weight, small sizes, and capable of high charge/discharge capacity. When lithium-ion batteries are charged, the maximum voltage is set to a voltage ranging from 4.1 V to 4.2 V. However, when lithium-ion batteries are charged to a voltage exceeding the maximum voltage, both electrical characteristics and safety deteriorate. 
     While discriminating circuit  5  detects the bicycle-mounted state, control circuit  2  of battery pack  100  shown in  FIG.  1    turns off charge FET  3  so as to prevent battery  1  from being charged by the electromotive force of driving motor  21 . When battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20 , charge FET  3  which is turned off prevents battery  1  from being charged by the electromotive force of driving motor  21 , thus preventing battery pack  100  from being charged by the electromotive force from driving motor  21 . Accordingly this state, the voltage of battery pack  100  does not increase, so that battery pack  100  can prevent battery  1  from deterioration due to the increase of the power supply voltage and prevent battery  1  from causing safety hazard. Discharge FET  4  is a switching element that supplies electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21 . Therefore, when this switching element is turned off electric power cannot be supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21  via the FET. It is an essential requirement of battery pack  100  that electric power is supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21  while battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20 . Battery pack  100  as described above supplies electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21  via parallel diode  7  while charge FET  3  is turned off. Parallel diode  7  is connected so as to pass electric current in a direction reverse to the forward direction of the FET to supply electric current from battery  1  to driving motor  21  with the FET which is turned off. Thus, battery pack  100  prevents battery  1  from being charged by the electromotive force of driving motor  21  with battery pack  100  being mounted on bicycle  20  while supplying electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21 , so as to prevent deterioration of battery  1  and ensure sufficient safety. 
     Control circuit  2  may turn off charge FET  3  whenever battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20 . However, control circuit  2  may turn on and off charge FET  3  according to the voltage of the battery to supply a large current from battery  1  to driving motor  21  and reduce electric power loss while preventing deterioration of battery  1  and safety degradation caused by abnormal voltage increase of battery  1 . In battery pack  100 , memory  6  of control circuit  2  stores a threshold voltage lower than the full charge voltage. The threshold voltage is determined taking into consideration the timing of the time lag of control circuit  2  switching charge FET  3  to turn off charge FET  3 . 
     Control circuit  2  compares the voltage of battery  1  with the threshold voltage lower than the full charge voltage, and switches charge FET  3  to turn off charge FET  3  when the voltage of battery  1  exceeds the threshold voltage. Therefore, in principle, the voltage of the battery does not exceed the threshold voltage. However, control circuit  2  detects the voltage of the battery, determines whether or not the detected voltage is higher than the threshold voltage, and then switches charge FET  3  to turn off charge FET  3  upon determining that the detected voltage is higher than the threshold voltage. For this reason, a time lag occurs before charge FET  3  is switched to be turned off after the voltage of battery  1  has exceeded the threshold voltage. In particular, the time lag occurs before an analog signal of the detected battery voltage is converted by an A/D converter into a digital signal, then the converted digital signal is processed to determine whether or not the battery voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, and charge FET  3  is switched to be turned off. Moreover, battery pack  100  calculates the battery voltage by averaging plural digital signals converted by the A/D converter at predetermined sampling periods in order to reduce errors due to noise or the like to detect the battery voltage accurately. Therefore, a time lag occurs in detecting the battery voltage. The threshold voltage is determined to be lower than the full charge voltage of battery  1  by a value ranging from 0.1 V to 0.3 V so that battery  1  is not charged by driving motor  21  and the battery voltage does not exceed the threshold voltage during the time lag before charge FET  3  is switched to be turned off after the battery voltage has been detected. 
     Control circuit  2  that stores the threshold voltage in memory  6  does not turn off charge FET  3  whenever battery pack  100  is mounted on bicycle  20 . While discriminating circuit  5  detects the bicycle-mounted state, control circuit  2  turns off charge FET  3  when the battery voltage is higher than the threshold voltage, but turns on charge FET  3  when the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage. Charge FET  3  which is turned on supplies electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21  via the FET which is turned on without passing through parallel diode  7 . The voltage drop due to parallel diode  7  is large, but the on-resistance of the FET which is turned on is significantly smaller, on the order of milliohms. Accordingly, even when a large current is supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21 , electric power loss caused by charge FET  3  is significantly small. Therefore, even when a large current is supplied from battery pack  100  to driving motor  21 , electric power loss due to charge FET  3  is small so that electric power can be supplied efficiently from battery  1  to driving motor  21 . Moreover, the amount of heat generated due to the Joule heat due to charge FET  3  is reduced so that the temperature increase of charge FET  3  can be reduced. 
     Charge FET  3  is switched to be turned on only when the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage predetermined to be a voltage lower than the full charge voltage. Therefore, even when charge FET  3  is turned on so that the electromotive force of driving motor  21  charges battery  1  and the battery voltage increases, the battery voltage does not rise to the full charge voltage during the time lag before control circuit  2  detects the increase of the battery voltage and switches charge FET  3  to turn off charge FET  3 . This configuration prevents the battery deterioration due to the increased battery voltage exceeding the full charge voltage and also prevents the adverse effect of reduced safety. 
     Control circuit  2  as describe above switches charge FET  3  to turn on charge FET  3  while the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage. However, control circuit  2  may switch charge FET  3  to turn on charge FET only when the load current supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21  exceeds a threshold current. Control circuit  2  stores a threshold current of the load current in memory  6 . While discriminating circuit  5  detects the bicycle-mounted state, control circuit  2  turns off charge FET  3  when the load current is smaller than the threshold current, but turns on charge FET  3  when the load current is larger than the threshold current. Battery pack  100  does not turn on charge FET  3  when the load current supplied from battery  1  to bicycle  20  is smaller than the threshold current, but turns on FET  3  only when a load current larger than the threshold current is supplied from battery  1  to bicycle  20 . Therefore, battery pack  100  reduces electric power loss due to charge FET  3  and efficiently supply electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21  while reliably preventing the voltage of battery  1  from exceeding the full charge voltage. When the load current exceeds the threshold current, battery pack  100  is discharged by supplying electric power from battery  1  to driving motor  21 , and battery  1  is not charged by regenerative braking. Therefore, even when charge FET  3  is switched to be turned on under this condition, battery  1  is prevented from being charged by the electromotive force of driving motor  21  and the battery voltage is prevented from exceeding the full charge voltage, thus ensuring safety of battery  1 . By turning on charge FET  3  when the load current is larger than the threshold current, electric power loss due to charge FET  3  is reduced when a large current is supplied from battery  1  to driving motor  21 , and also, a large current is prevented from passing through the parallel diode to protect charge FET  3 . 
     While battery pack  100  is dismounted from bicycle  20  and connected to charger  30 , discriminating circuit  5  detects the charger-connected state. When the voltage of the battery charged by charger  30  is lower than the full charge voltage, charge FET  3  is turned on to charge battery  1 . When detecting that the voltage of battery  1  being charged is higher than the full charge voltage, charge FET  3  is switched to be turned off to stop charging battery  1 . 
     Battery pack  100  as described above is mounted on bicycle  20  and is used as a power supply for supplying electric power to driving motor  21  incorporated in bicycle  20 . Electric bicycle  200  shown in  FIG.  1    includes battery pack  100  and control converter  25  connected between battery pack  100  and driving motor  21 . Control converter  25  controls electric power supplied from battery pack  100  to driving motor  21 . 
     Driving motor  21  drives a wheel (not shown) with the electric power supplied from battery pack  100 . Driving motor  21  is connected to battery pack  100  via control converter  25 . The electric power supplied from battery pack  100  is controlled by control converter  25  to adjust the rotation torque of the wheel. Control converter  25  adjusts the electric power supplied to driving motor  21  based on the speed of the bicycle and the pedal rotation torque produced by the user as parameters. Control converter  25  controls the electric power supplied to driving motor  21  so that, for example, a ratio of a pedal rotation torque and the torque at which driving motor  21  rotates the wheel is a predetermined ratio. 
     Since bicycle  20  that performs regenerative braking with driving motor  21  performs braking by charging battery pack  100  by the electric power generated by driving motor  21 , a charging current flows through battery pack  100  during regenerative braking. Because the charging current may cause the adverse effect on battery  1  of battery pack  100 , battery pack  100  includes a circuit configured to limit the charging current produced by regenerative braking of the bicycle. 
     INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
     The present invention is suitably used for a battery pack that supplies electric power to a driving motor of an electric bicycle, particularly for an electric bicycle equipped with a mechanism of charging the battery pack by performing regenerative braking during braking.
