Battery module {BATTERY MODULE}
The present invention relates to a battery system formed by connecting one or more battery modules in series, and more particularly, to a battery system using a lithium ion battery in which each battery module includes one or more single cells.
In electric vehicles and hybrid cars, electric motors are used as power sources or auxiliary power sources. As the electric power source of this electric motor, the secondary battery which connected many single cells in series is used. For example, a secondary battery obtained by connecting a nickel-metal hydride battery having a standard voltage of 1.2 V per unit cell in series of 60 cells is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-204141.
In such a nickel hydride battery, the battery voltage of a single cell is small, and even a 60 cell can obtain only a voltage of about 70 V. For this reason, it is unsuitable for electric vehicles etc. which drive with high voltage and high output. In addition, a nickel hydride battery also has a problem of self-discharge when fully charged.
On the other hand, a lithium ion battery has the advantage of having a high voltage of 300 V to 1000 V, a high output being obtained, and no self discharge even in the case of full charge. For this reason, it is possible to use the assembled battery which connected the single cell which consists of lithium ion batteries in series.
In addition, in the voltage detection device for an electric vehicle battery pack described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 11-160367, for example, a main battery for driving power storage of a high voltage of 300 V is divided into a plurality of battery modules, and each battery module The module voltage is detected by the differential voltage detection circuit and the A / D conversion circuit and transmitted to the signal processing circuit portion. The circuit differential power of the differential voltage detection circuit and the A / D conversion circuit is fed from the bogie battery through the DC-DC converter and not from the main battery. As a result, the open module voltage can be detected more accurately, and unnecessary shortening of the lifespan of the high voltage battery pack can be avoided.
Moreover, the electrical storage device of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-70179 is provided corresponding to each of the some electrical storage module which connected again the series of electrical storage modules which connected several capacitors in series, and each of the several electrical storage modules, A plurality of lower control devices for controlling a plurality of capacitors constituting the power storage module, and a higher control device for controlling a plurality of lower control devices. The lower control device detects a state of a plurality of capacitors of the power storage module controlled by the lower control device, takes a logical sum or logical product of the state detection signal and an input signal from the lower control device on the high potential side, and lowers the result thereof. Output to the lower control device on the side. This content is described in Claim 4 and 5 of the said patent publication.
Further, the battery protection IC described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-117780 monitors a block composed of a plurality of batteries connected in series, wherein the terminal voltage of any one battery in the block is greater than or equal to a prescribed value when the battery pack is charged. An overvoltage detection circuit for outputting an overvoltage signal when the battery pack is discharged, an overdischarge detection circuit for outputting an overdischarge signal when the terminal voltage of any of the batteries falls below a specified value at the time of discharge of the battery pack, and It has a 1st switch which turns on and notifies when it detects, and a 2nd switch which turns on and notifies when an overdischarge signal is detected. This content is described in paragraphs [0024] and [0025] of the above patent publication.
However, in the case where a secondary battery in which a plurality of single cells composed of lithium ion batteries are connected in series is configured as a battery module, and the battery system is configured by connecting a plurality of battery modules in series, the charging and discharging of the single cell is repeatedly performed. However, fluctuations in the voltage of a single cell occur. For this reason, it was necessary to monitor the voltage for every single cell, and to manage so that an overcharge or an overdischarge may not occur in any single cell.
Moreover, the main battery which consists of many battery modules of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 11-160367 is a high voltage of 300V, for example, and each battery module also becomes a high voltage. For this reason, voltage monitoring of the battery module at this high voltage was difficult.
In addition, in the power storage device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-70179 and the battery protection IC described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-117780, a semiconductor element operated by a voltage from a battery is used. However, the semiconductor element used for the battery module on the high side of the plurality of battery modules connected in series must use a high breakdown voltage element, resulting in high cost.
An object of the present invention is to provide a battery system which can use a semiconductor device having a low breakdown voltage.
The battery system according to the present invention outputs voltage information of each voltage detected by one or more single cells, each voltage of one or more single cells, and each voltage detected by the voltage detector, and when the voltage information becomes a predetermined value. A monitoring control unit for outputting a signal for interrupting the power line to the disconnecting means, and a first connector and a second connector provided separately from the first connector, and the first and second connectors are provided through the first connector and the second connector. A communication circuit for transmitting and receiving voltage information between the battery module and its battery module, the communication circuit including: a first resistor having one end connected to a positive electrode of an assembled battery constituting one or more single cells; One end thereof is connected to the other end of the first resistor, and the other end thereof has a second resistor to which voltage information is input from the first connector, and a drain thereof is connected to the positive electrode of the battery pack. A first switch element that is turned on when voltage information from the first connector is input to the gate through the second resistor, one end of which is connected to a source of the first switch element, and the other end of the assembled battery; A third resistor connected to the negative electrode, a fourth resistor connected at one end to the second connector, a gate connected to one end of the third resistor, a source connected to the negative electrode of the assembled battery, and a drain connected to the other end of the fourth resistor And a second switch element that is turned on when the first switch element is turned on to transfer voltage information from the first connector to the second connector through the fourth resistor.
According to the battery system according to the present invention, the first switch element is provided between the positive electrode of the single cell of the highest potential in the battery module of the upper potential and the negative electrode of the single cell of the lowest potential in the battery module of the lower potential. What is necessary is just about twice the breakdown voltage of the sum total of the voltage of all the single cells in one battery module. Thereby, a low breakdown voltage semiconductor element can be used.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the battery system which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in detail, referring drawings.
1 is a block diagram of a battery system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The battery system shown in FIG. 1 is used for batteries, such as an electric vehicle, for example, and is comprised by connecting the battery module 1a and the battery module 1b in series. The battery module may be configured by connecting three or more battery modules in series.
Between the + terminal A of the battery module 1a and the-terminal B of the battery module 1b, power from an oscillator (not shown) or regenerative power from a motor (not shown) is supplied to the battery modules 1a and 1b. The battery modules 1a and 1b are discharged by charging and driving the motor.
Each of the battery modules 1a and 1b includes a plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an and 3b1 to 3bn connected in series, unit cell voltage switches 7a and 7b, module monitoring control units 9a and 9b, The protection signal level conversion circuits 11a and 11b are provided. Each of the plurality of single cells is made of a lithium ion battery, and has a high voltage and a high output.
The unit cell voltage switches 7a and 7b correspond to the voltage detection unit of the present invention, have switches for each unit cell, and are turned on by the ON signal from the module monitoring control units 9a and 9b at the time of measuring the voltage of the unit cell. The voltage is detected, and each voltage of the plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an and 3b1 to 3bn is detected.
The module monitoring control units 9a and 9b provide a protection signal or voltage for prohibiting overcharge when the voltage of any one of the voltages detected by the unit cell voltage switches 7a and 7b becomes an upper limit value (for example, 4.3V). When the lower limit value (for example, 2.5 V) is reached, a protection signal for prohibiting over discharge is output to the protection signal level conversion circuits 11a and 11b.
The protection signal level converting circuit 11a corresponds to the transmission means of the present invention and level converts the voltage of the battery module 1a so as to match the voltage of the battery module 1b. That is, the voltage of the battery module 1b is 0-12V, for example, and when the lowest negative electrode terminal of the some single cell in the battery module 1b is the reference electric potential 0V, the voltage of the battery module 1a is 12 It is -24V. For this reason, in order to match the signal level from the battery module 1a with the signal level of the battery module 1b, the level conversion circuit 11a for protection signals level-converts from 12 to 24V to 0 to 12V.
The protection signal level conversion circuit 11a outputs a protection signal for prohibiting overcharge from its module monitoring control unit 9a to the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b of the battery module 1b via the signal line 12b. . The protection signal level converting circuit 11a outputs a protection signal for prohibiting over discharge from its module monitoring control unit 9a to the battery module 1b via the signal line 12a.
The protection signal level conversion circuit 11b corresponds to the transmission means of the present invention, and provides a protection signal for prohibiting overcharge from its own module monitoring control unit 9b and a module monitoring control unit 9a in the battery module 1a. The OR with the protection signal for overcharge prohibition is output to the charge prohibition switch 15 via the signal line 12b. The protection signal level conversion circuit 11b includes a protection signal for prohibiting over discharge from its own module monitoring control unit 9b and a protection signal for prohibiting over discharge from the module monitoring control unit 9a in the battery module 1a. The OR is output to the discharge prohibition switch 13 via the signal line 12a.
The discharge prohibition switch 13 and the charge prohibition switch 15 are connected in series, made of a MOSFET, and are provided between the battery module 3b and the-terminal. In addition, the discharge prohibition switch 13 and the charge prohibition switch 15 may use a thyristor, GTO, IGBT, or the like. The discharge prohibition switch 13 prohibits the overdischarge of one or more single cells by turning off the protection signal for prohibiting the discharge from the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b. The charge prohibition switch 15 is turned off by the protection signal for prohibiting charging from the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b to prohibit overcharging of one or more single cells.
According to the battery system of the first embodiment configured as described above, in each of the battery modules 1a and 1b, when the voltage detectors 7a and 7b detect respective voltages of a plurality of single cells, the module monitoring controllers 9a and 9b When the voltage of any one of the detected voltages becomes the upper limit value, a protection signal for overcharge prohibition is output or a protection signal for overdischarge prohibition when the voltage becomes a lower limit value. For example, in the battery module 1a, when overcharging of a plurality of single cells occurs, a protection signal for prohibiting overcharging is sent to the level conversion circuit 11a for protection signal.
The protection signal level conversion circuit 11a sends the protection signal for overcharge prohibition to the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b. The protection signal level converting circuit 11b takes a logical sum of a protection signal from its own module monitoring control unit 9b (not present in this case) and a protection signal from the battery module 1a (which is present in this case). The output is output to the charge prohibition switch 15. The charge prohibition switch 15 prohibits overdischarge of a plurality of single cells by a protection signal from the level converting circuit 11b. In addition, overcharge also operates in the same manner as the overdischarge operation. Therefore, the generation of overcharge or overdischarge can be eliminated in any single cell.
In addition, through the signal lines 12a and 12b, the OR signal is transmitted in one direction (to the discharge prohibition switch 13 or the charge prohibition switch 15). Since the circuit is composed only of logic circuits and no computational circuits such as microcomputers are used, signals can be transmitted at high speed, and processing is high.
2 shows a detailed circuit diagram of the level conversion circuit for protection signals in the battery module of the battery system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the internal configuration of the k-th battery module 5k in the battery system in which n (three or more) battery modules are connected in series.
First, during overcharge, the charge inhibit (CI) signal becomes active and the switch Q7 is turned on (closed) by the charge inhibit input CI (L level) from the module monitoring control unit 9k. Alternatively, the switch Q6 is turned on by the charge inhibit input (H level) from the upper module, and a bias current flows through the resistors r16 and r17 to turn on the switch Q7. When a current flows through the switch Q7 or the switch Q8, a bias current flows through the resistors r18 and r19 to turn on the switches Q9 and Q10. A current flows through the resistor r22, the charge inhibit output of the lower module is output, and the charge inhibit switch 15 is finally turned off. In this way, a small current flows from the upper module to the lower module as the charge inhibiting input, thereby allowing the protection signal to be transmitted at high speed and with low power consumption between the modules of the voltage. In addition, when the charge prohibition switch 15 is on, the bias current of the level converting portion is only the leakage current, and the battery system is in a power saving state.
Next, during overdischarge, the discharge prohibition (DI) signal becomes inactive. At this time, the switch Q3 is turned off (opened) by the discharge prohibition input DI (H level) from the module monitoring control unit 9k, so that no current flows through the resistors r7 and r8. The switch Q4 is turned off, a current flows through the resistor r9 and the resistor r10, the switch Q5 is turned off, and the discharge prohibition output (L level) to the lower module is output. The bias current does not flow through the resistor r23, and the discharge prohibition switch 13 is turned off. If there is a discharge prohibition input (L level) from the upper level module, the bias current does not flow through the resistors r1 and r2, and the switches Q1, Q2, Q4 and Q5 are turned off, and the switch 13 is turned off similarly.
On the other hand, when neither the magnetic module nor the upper module has charge inhibited, the switches Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, and Q10 remain off, and the charge inhibit output of the lower module is not output. No current flows through the resistor r24, and the switch 15 remains on. Similarly, when neither the magnetic module nor the upper module has discharge prohibition, the switches Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 are on, a bias current flows through the resistors r11 and r13, and the switch Q13 is on. . Since the resistors r1 to r24 need only be high resistances, only a small current flows in any state, resulting in a low power consumption of the battery system.
In addition, the unit voltage switch and the module monitoring control unit are driven by the voltage between VD and VO.
In the battery system shown in FIG. 3, the thermistor as a temperature detector that detects temperatures of a plurality of single cells in each of the battery modules 1a-1 and 1b-1 in the battery system of Example 1 shown in FIG. 1. The temperature sensors 21a and 21b, such as these, are provided.
The module monitoring control units 9a-1 and 9b-1 also provide a protection signal for overdischarge prohibition and overcharge when the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature or more based on the temperature information detected by the temperature sensors 21a and 21b. The protection signal for prohibition is output to the protection signal level conversion circuits 11a and 11b.
The protection signal level conversion circuit 11b outputs a protection signal for overdischarge prohibition to the discharge prohibition switch 13, and outputs a protection signal for prohibiting overcharge to the charge prohibition switch 15.
When a plurality of modules are connected and used in series, it is necessary to divide the thermistor and the battery by an insulator in order to maintain the dielectric breakdown voltage of the battery and the thermistor. However, if the thermistor and battery are partitioned by an insulator, the temperature cannot be measured accurately. On the other hand, by measuring the thermistor from the module monitoring control unit for each module at the same electrical potential as in the present embodiment, the temperature can be measured with high accuracy even at high voltage.
As described above, when the temperatures of the plurality of unit cells become higher than or equal to the predetermined temperature, it is assumed that an abnormality has occurred in the unit cell, and the overdischarge prohibition and the overcharge prohibition are performed, whereby the safety of the battery system can be improved.
4 is a block diagram illustrating a battery system according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the battery system of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 4, with respect to the configuration of the battery system of the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the battery modules 1a-2 and 1b-2 further include a plurality of single cells 3a1 to 1. 3a, 3b1 to 3bn connected in series, and discharging switch 23a for prohibiting discharge of the plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an and 3b1 to 3bn when assembling the battery modules 1a-2 and 1b-2. , 23b).
The protection signal level conversion circuit 11b-2 sends the discharge prohibition cancel signal from the discharge prohibition cancel switch S1 to the protection signal level converting circuit 11a-2 and the discharge prohibition switch 23a of the battery module 1a-2. Output
The discharge prohibition switch 23a is turned on by the discharge prohibition cancel signal from the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b-2 to release the prohibition of discharge of the plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an. The discharge prohibition switch 23b turns on by the discharge prohibition cancel signal from the discharge prohibition cancel switch S1 to cancel the prohibition of discharge of the plurality of single cells 3b1 to 3bn.
As described above, according to the battery system of the third embodiment, at the time of assembling the battery modules 3a and 3b, the terminals between the battery modules 3a are turned off by the discharge prohibition switch 23a, and the discharge between the terminals of the battery modules 3b is prohibited. Since the switch 23b is turned off, the discharge of the plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an and 3b1 to 3bn can be prohibited. For this reason, the safety at the time of assembling between battery modules can be improved.
In addition, after the assembly between the battery modules is completed, the discharge prohibition release signal S1 is turned on so that the discharge prohibition cancel signal is sent to the discharge prohibition switch 23b, and the discharge prohibition cancel signal sends the level converting circuit 11a-2. Since it is sent to the discharge prohibition switch 23a, the discharge prohibition switches 23a and 23b are turned on to release the discharge prohibition.
FIG. 5 is a detailed circuit diagram of the protection signal level conversion circuit shown in FIG. 4. The resistors r1 to r25 have the same operation as in FIG. 2. When the discharge prohibition input DLI (H level) from the lower module or the switch S1 of FIG. 4 becomes the open H level, the bias current does not flow through the resistors r26 and r27. The switches Q12, Q13, Q14, and Q15 are turned off, no current flows through the resistor r33, and the discharge prohibition switch 23b of the module is turned off.
On the other hand, when the switch S1 in Fig. 4 is turned on or the discharge prohibition input DLI from the lower module is at the L level, a bias current flows through the resistors r26 and r27, so that the switches Q13 to Q15 are all turned on. A bias current flows through the resistor r33, and the discharge prohibition switch 23b of the module is turned on.
6 is a block diagram illustrating a battery system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In the battery system shown in FIG. 6, the battery modules 1a-4 and 1b-4 include the unit cell voltage switches 7a and 7b, the module monitoring controllers 9a-4 and 9b-4, and the level for the protection signal. The conversion circuits 11a-4 and 11b-4 and the communication level conversion circuits 14a and 14b are provided.
The communication level converting circuit 14a and the communication level converting circuit 14b are connected to signal lines 16a and 18a for transmitting and receiving, and the communication level converting circuits 14a and 14b communicate with adjacent battery modules. Communicate.
The first example of the communication protocol of the communication level conversion circuits 14a and 14b adopts a single master system at the time of transmission, and the slave module transmits data only when there is an instruction from the master module. The transmission data length is 8 bits, for example, and is transmitted to the LSB first in the UART format of one stop bit. At the time of reception, the data output from another slave module is also received.
The second example of the communication protocol of the communication level conversion circuits 14a and 14b is an example using a message frame. The message frame consists of a header and a response.

According to the request from (9b-4), the positional information and voltage information of the single cell of over-discharge or overcharge are output to the module monitoring control part 9b-4 which consists of a master through the communication level conversion circuits 14a and 14b.
The monitoring control part 9b-4 which consists of a master may be used as a communication means, for example using the smart battery system used for the communication between a notebook personal computer and a battery pack. In the case of automobiles and the like, communication means such as CAN (controller area network), LAN (local area network) and the like have been proposed as standard systems, and communication with the outside can be performed by following the standard.
In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the battery system of Example 1 shown in FIG. 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part.

Fig. 7 shows the internal configuration of the kth battery module in the battery system in which n (three or more) battery modules are connected in series.
The signal line for transmission and reception is negative logic (N in the figure) which becomes high potential when inactive, and the reception signal from the lower module and the transmission signal to the higher module are similarly negative logic. In addition, the reception input from the upper module and the transmission output to the lower module are plus logic (P in the figure).
First, when data is transmitted (TX) from the module monitoring control unit 9k-4, the switch Q25 is turned on by inputting the data, and a current flows in the resistor r41 and the resistor r42. The switches Q27 and Q28 are turned off, and data is transmitted to the lower module. In addition, the switch Q21 is turned on, the switch Q22 is turned off, and data is transmitted to the upper module. Next, when the module monitoring control unit 9k-4 receives data (RX), the switch Q21 is turned on by the transmission input from the lower module, the switch Q23 is turned off, and the transmission input from the lower module is received. .
According to such a structure, the module monitoring control part 9a-4 transmits the positional information and voltage information of the single cell of over-discharge or overcharging according to the request | requirement from the module monitoring control part 9b-4, and the level conversion circuits 14a and 14b for communication.

The level converting circuits 11a-6 and 11b-6 for the protection signal include the discharge inhibiting input DI from the upper module and the level converting discharge inhibiting output function DO1 to the lower module or the master unit 8 and the upper module. Charge prohibit input (CI) and level conversion to lower module or master unit 8 Charge prohibit output (CO) function, module discharge prohibit input (MI) from lower module or master unit 8 and level change to upper module The module discharge prohibition output MO and the submodule discharge prohibition output DO2 are provided. The specific circuit configuration of the above level conversion is achieved with the circuit already shown in FIG.
The protection signal level converting circuits 11a-6 and 11b-6 further include a clock input CKI from the lower module or the master unit 8 and a level converting clock output CKO to the upper module, the lower module or the master. It has a shutdown input (SDI) from section 8 and a level-converted shutdown output (SDO) to a higher module. The level conversion of these clock and shutdown signals can be achieved by the same method as the level conversion shown in FIG.
The module monitoring control units 9a-6 and 9b-6 receive a clock signal from the protection signal level converting circuits 11a-6 and 11b-6, and measure the voltage of the unit cell in synchronization with the clock signal. The module monitoring control units 9a-6 and 9b-6 receive a shutdown signal from the protection signal level converting circuits 11a-6 and 11b-6, and when the shutdown signal is supplied, the unit cell voltage switches 7a and 7b. My own power supply and power supply of the communication level conversion circuits 14a and 14b are turned off to reduce power consumption. When the shutdown signal is released, the power is turned on to start the operation synchronized with the clock signal.
The master part 8 has the monitoring control part 10 which consists of a master, the discharge prohibition switch 13, the charge prohibition switch 15, the resistor 25, and the error amplifier 27. The resistor 25, the discharge prohibition switch 13, and the charge prohibition switch 15 are connected in series and are provided between the battery module 3b and the -terminal B.
The monitoring control unit 10 cuts off the current flowing through the battery modules 3a and 3b by turning off the discharge prohibition switch 13 by the protection signal for overdischarging prohibition from the protection signal level converting circuit 11b-6. . The monitoring control unit 10 cuts off the current flowing through the battery modules 3a and 3b by turning off the charge prohibition switch 15 by the protection signal for overcharging prohibition from the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b-6. . As a result, overdischarge or overcharge of the plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an and 3b1 to 3bn can be prohibited.
In addition, when the error amplifier 27 amplifies the voltage of both ends of the resistor 25 as an error voltage, and the monitoring control unit 10 assumes that an overcurrent flows through the resistor 25 when the error voltage becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined voltage. The current is interrupted by turning off the charge prohibition switch 15. As a result, overcurrent protection is performed.
In addition, the current flowing in the battery system can be measured by measuring the voltage amplified by the differential amplifier 27 with the voltage across the resistor 25. The charging state of the battery can be known by integrating this current in the monitoring control unit 10. Based on the current flowing and the state of charge, the clock output CKO is output as a low speed clock when the current is small and the battery has a large remaining capacity. Each cell voltage is measured in a state where the power consumption of the module monitoring control units 9a-6 and 9b-6 is reduced. At the same time as the end of the measurement, the shutdown signal SDO is output, reducing power consumption in the module. When the monitoring control unit 10 itself also has a small amount of current, the power consumption is reduced by entering a low speed clock or a sleep mode.
The interrupt control function is set in the supervisory control unit 10, and when the current exceeds an arbitrary level, that is, the output voltage of the differential amplifier 27 exceeds an arbitrary threshold value, the supervisory control unit 10 starts from a sleep state and operates normally. Mode. In addition, when the current is very large, the monitoring control unit 10 outputs the clock output CKO as a high speed clock, and always operates the module monitoring control units 9a-6 and 9b-6 to perform voltage measurement frequently, thereby providing a protection function. To strengthen. In addition, since the monitoring control unit 10 itself also operates with a high speed clock, the integration time of the current value is shortened, high-accuracy current integration is performed, and the battery remaining amount is accurately measured.
When the monitoring control unit 10 has a charge inhibiting input CI or a discharge inhibiting input DO, after the current is cut off by the charge inhibiting switch 15 or the discharge inhibiting switch 13, the monitoring level converting circuit 14a, 14b) collects the protection signal or the voltage information of the single cell from each of the module monitoring control units 9a-6 and 9b-6 constituted as slaves, and based on the collected protection signal or the voltage information of the single cell, an error occurs in any single cell. It is determined whether or not it has occurred. As a result, it is possible to grasp in which single cell an abnormality has occurred.
In addition, the monitoring control unit 10 outputs the protection signal and the voltage information of the single cell to the external device in response to a request from the external device COM. Thereby, the external device can perform charge / discharge management of the battery modules 3a and 3b.
When the monitoring control unit 10 receives the maintenance command from the external device COM, the monitoring control unit 10 first turns off the discharge prohibition switch 13 on the basis of this maintenance command, and transmits the discharge prohibition signal MO to the communication level conversion circuit 14b. , To the module monitoring control units 9b-6 and 9a-6 via 14a). When the protection signal level conversion circuit 11b-6 receives the discharge prohibition signal MI, it outputs the discharge prohibition output DO2 and turns off the discharge prohibition switches 23a and 23b. As a result, discharge of the module can be prohibited, and maintenance work can be performed safely.

It is a block diagram of (11a-8, 11b-8). The conversion circuit shown in FIG. 11 performs communication from the battery module 1n at the lower potential to the battery module 1 (n + 1) at the upper potential.
In the battery module 1n, a series circuit of a P-type MOSFET Q31, a resistor R3, and a resistor R4 is connected to both ends of a plurality of single cells V1 to V10 (corresponding to a plurality of single cells 3a1 to 3an).

In addition, the logic of the serial communication input is active low, and is inactive when the battery module of the lower potential is not connected. First, when there is no signal from the battery module of the lower potential or when the signal RXL_N is H level (open), all of the MOSFETs Q31, Q32, and Q33 are turned off. In other words, when there is no input signal, the current flowing through the circuit is zero.
On the other hand, when the signal RXL_N from the battery module at the lower potential is connected and the signal is at the L level (on), all of the MOSFETs Q31, Q32, and Q33 are turned on. For this reason, the signal TXH_N to the battery module at the upper potential and the signal RX_3N to the microcomputer in the battery module are at the L level.

In addition, since a series circuit of the resistor R1 ', the resistor R2', the connector CN1 ', the connector CN2, the resistor R5, and the MOSFET Q32 is connected between the positive electrode of the single cell V1' and the negative cell of the single cell V10, the MOSFET Q31 and Q32 are turned off even when the MOSFET Q31 and Q32 are turned off. The drain-source voltage Vds may be a voltage twice the battery module voltage (total voltage of V1 to V10). For this reason, MOSFETs Q31 and Q32 can use a low breakdown voltage element.
Fig. 12 is a block diagram showing the configuration of communication level conversion circuits 14a-1 and 14b-1 for communicating from the battery module of the upper potential to the battery module of the lower potential provided in the battery system according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. . The conversion circuit shown in FIG. 12 performs communication from the battery module 1 (n + 1) at the upper potential to the battery module 1n at the lower potential.

Further, when the signal RXH_P from the battery module at the upper potential is connected, the signal is at the H level, and the signal from the microcomputer in the battery module is at the L level, all of the MOSFETs Q34 to Q37 are turned on. When MOSFET Q37 is on, a signal is transmitted between the battery modules.
In addition, since a series circuit of the MOSFET Q37 ', the resistor R14', the connector CN1 ', the connector CN2, the resistor R7, and the resistor R8 is connected between the positive electrode of the single cell V1' and the negative electrode of the single cell V10, the drain is discharged even when the MOSFET Q37 'is off. The inter-source voltage Vds may be a voltage twice the battery module voltage (total voltage of V1 to V10). For this reason, the MOSFET Q37 'can use a low breakdown voltage element.
Fig. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the level conversion drivers 11a-7 and 11b-7 for protection signals for performing communication between battery modules of the overcharge prohibition protection signal in the battery system according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.

(n-1)).
Next, communication processing between the battery modules shown in FIG. 13 will be described. Here, the operations of the MOSFETs Q38 to Q40 in the battery module 1n are described, but the same is true for the operations of the MOSFETs Q38 'to Q40' in the battery module 1 (n + 1). The logic of the overcharge prohibition protection signal input is active high, and is inactive when the battery module of the upper potential is not connected.
First, all of the MOSFETs Q38 to Q40 are turned off when there is no signal from the battery module at the upper potential or when the overcharge prohibition protection signal COH_P is not connected and when the overcharge prohibition protection signal CO_3P in the battery module is L level. It becomes That is, in the absence of a signal, the current flowing through the circuit is zero. In addition, when the overcharge inhibiting protection signal COH_P from the battery module at the upper potential is connected and the signal is at the H level, the MOSFET Q38 is turned on. When the overcharge prohibition protection signal CO_3P from its battery module is at the H level, the MOSFET Q39 is turned on, the ON of the MOSFET Q38 and the ON of the MOSFET Q39 are logically combined in the internal circuit, and the MOSFET Q40 is turned on. For this reason, the signal COL_P to the battery module of the lower potential becomes H level, and a signal is transmitted between the battery modules. When the signal CO_3P or the signal COH_P is active, a current flows in the conversion driver, and the overcharge cell is discharged. That is, when overcharge is detected, the overcharge prohibition protection signal is transmitted in the direction of discharge from the overcharge cell.
In addition, since a series circuit of the MOSFET Q40 ', the resistor R20', the connector CN1 ', the connector CN2, the resistor R15, and the resistor R16 is connected between the positive electrode of the single cell V1' and the negative cell of the single cell V10, the drain is discharged even when the MOSFET Q40 'is off. The inter-source voltage Vds may be a voltage twice the battery module voltage (total voltage of V1 to V10). For this reason, the MOSFET Q40 'can use a low breakdown voltage element.

The conversion driver shown in Fig. 14 outputs a logical sum of the overdischarge prohibition protection signal of the battery module of the battery module and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal from the battery module of the upper potential to the battery module of the lower potential.
In the battery module 1n, a series circuit of a resistor R25, a resistor R26, an N-type MOSFET Q41, and an N-type MOSFET Q42 is connected to both ends of the plurality of single cells V1 to V10. The resistor R24 is connected between the gate and the source of the MOSFET Q42, and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal of the battery module 1n is input to the gate of the MOSFET Q42. The series circuit of the resistor R21 and the resistor R22 is connected between the connector CN2 and the negative electrode of the single cell V10, and the gate of the MOSFET Q41 is connected to the connection point of the resistor R21 and the resistor R22. Zener diode ZD4 is connected to both ends of resistor R22. The drain-gate of MOSFET Q43 is connected to the both ends of resistor R25, and the source of MOSFETQ43 is connected to connector CN1 via resistor R27. Battery module 1 (n + 1) is comprised similarly to battery module 1n, and is distinguished by attaching "to the code | symbol of each part of battery module 1n.

Is output to the battery module 1n, and the battery module 1n outputs the logic sum of the overdischarge prohibition protection signal from the battery module 1 (n + 1) and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal of the battery module 1n. Output to battery module 1 (n-1).
Next, communication processing between the battery modules shown in FIG. 14 will be described. Here, the operations of the MOSFETs Q41 to Q43 in the battery module 1n are explained, but the same is true for the operations of the MOSFETs Q41 'to Q43' in the battery module 1 (n + 1). The logic of the overdischarge prohibition protection signal input is active low, and is active when the battery module of the upper potential is not connected.
First, when there is no signal from the battery module of the upper potential or when the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DOH_N is not connected at the H level, and when the overcharge prohibition protection signal DI_3N in the battery module of its own is at the H level, MOSFETQ41 to Q43 All are turned on. That is, when there is no over-discharge prohibition protection signal, a current flows through the circuit. In addition, when the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DOH_N from the battery module at the upper potential is L level or open, and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DI_3N from its battery module is H level, the MOSFET Q41 is turned off and the MOSFET Q42 is turned on. MOSFETQ43 is turned off. When the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DOH_N from the battery module at the upper potential is H level and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DI_3N from its own battery module is L level, MOSFET Q41 is turned on and MOSFETQ42 and Q43 are turned off. . In addition, when the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DOH_N from the battery module at the upper potential is L level and the overdischarge prohibition protection signal DI_3N from its battery module is L level, all of the MOSFETs Q41 to 43 are turned off.
In addition, since a series circuit of MOSFET Q43 ', resistor R27', connector CN1 ', connector CN2, resistor R21, and resistor R22 is connected between the positive electrode of single cell V1' and the negative electrode of single cell V10, the drain is performed even when MOSFET Q43 'is off. The inter-source voltage Vds may be a voltage twice the battery module voltage (total voltage of V1 to V10). For this reason, the MOSFET Q43 'can use a low breakdown voltage element.
In normal operation, the MOSFETs Q41 to 43 are turned on so that a current flows through the conversion driver. In contrast, at the time of overdischarge detection, MOSFETs Q41 to 43 are turned off to eliminate current consumption and suppress discharge from the overdischarge cell.
