BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a field of a battery pack, and more particularly to a battery pack, electric tools with battery packs, and charging device applied with battery packs.

Related Art

Electric tools are gradually driven by storage batteries using secondary batteries such as lithium ion batteries. Storage batteries are each configured to be detachable from an electric tool body. If a voltage drops due to discharge, the storage battery is removed from the electric tool body and charged by an external charging device. Different types of electric tools often have different requirements for voltage and current, and a battery pack with a single voltage cannot supply power for different types of electric tools. Battery packs with different voltage platforms need to be designed to meet requirements of electric tools with different voltages.

For a user, when electric tools with two voltages are used, matching storage batteries/battery packs are required. For some high-power electric tools, power consumption is very fast. Therefore, it is required to prepare more corresponding battery packs, which increases a burden on the user virtually.

Therefore, existing battery packs need to be improved to broaden application scenarios thereof.

Next, the battery pack according to the present disclosure is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a topological structure of a battery pack according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The battery pack includes a first battery cell group and a second battery cell group, and each battery cell group includes at least one battery cell electrically connected in series.

The first battery cell group has a first positive terminal PORT4 and a first negative terminal PORT3, that is, in the first battery cell group, a negative terminal of a battery cell with a minimum potential is electrically connected to the first negative terminal PORT3, and a positive terminal of a battery cell with a maximum potential is connected to the first positive terminal PORT4.

In this embodiment, in each battery cell group, one or more battery cells are provided and are connected in series. The battery cell groups have the same voltage. In some embodiments, each battery cell group may include two branches as shown in FIG. 8. The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that each battery cell group may include two branches (also referred to as two branches connected in parallel, where in the first battery cell group, the branch where battery cells BB1 and BBN are located is electrically connected in parallel to the branch where battery cells CB1 and CBN are located; and in the second battery cell group, the branch where battery cells BA1 and BAN are located is electrically connected in parallel to the branch where battery cells CA1 and CAN are located) or more branches connected in parallel, with each branch having one or more battery cells.

In this way, no step-up or step-down conversion circuit or device is disposed in the battery pack, and only by inserting external corresponding terminals (the external corresponding terminals are disposed in the charger or discharge controller) into the connecting terminals disposed on the housing, an open/short circuit change of the two battery cell groups in the battery pack is completed, thereby implementing switching between the first battery cell group and the second battery cell group (series connection or parallel connection) to externally output two voltages.

In some embodiments, each battery cell group includes five battery cells electrically connected in series, as shown in FIG. 2.

The first positive terminal PORT4 is electrically connected to a second connecting terminal 2 of the connecting portion, and the first negative terminal PORT3 is electrically connected to a third connecting terminal 3 of the connecting portion.

The second battery cell group has a second positive terminal PORT2 and a second negative terminal PORT1. The second positive terminal PORT2 is electrically connected to a fourth connecting terminal 4 of the connecting portion, and the second negative terminal PORT1 is electrically connected to a fifth connecting terminal 5 of the connecting portion.

A first control unit AFE1 includes four sampling ports, and each sampling port is electrically connected to a matching and corresponding battery cell in the first battery cell group by using a sensor. For example, one sampling port is electrically connected to a battery cell BC15 by using a sensor RF15, one sampling port is electrically connected to a battery cell BC16 by using a sensor RF16, one sampling port is electrically connected to a battery cell BC17 by using a sensor RF17, and one sampling port is electrically connected to a battery cell BC18 by using a sensor RF18. The first control unit AFE1 is electrically connected to the control module MCU by using a conversion unit, such as a digit insulate circuit shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3. A negative terminal of the battery cell BC15 is electrically connected to the first negative terminal PORT3, and a positive terminal of the battery cell BC18 is electrically connected to the first positive terminal PORT4.

A second control unit AFE2 includes four sampling ports, and each sampling port is electrically connected to a matching and corresponding battery cell in the first battery cell group by using a sensor.

A negative terminal of the battery cell BC11 is electrically connected to the second negative terminal PORT1, and a positive terminal of the battery cell BC14 is electrically connected to the second positive terminal PORT2.

A charging port CH+ electrically connected to the first connecting terminal 1 is electrically connected to a first end of a switch SW, a second end of the switch SW is electrically connected to the first positive terminal PORT4, and a third end (trigger end) of the switch SW is electrically connected to a control module MCU. The battery pack can externally output two voltages of 16 V/32 V.

Mode 1:

Through insertion of external corresponding terminals arranged on a tool, the second connecting terminal 2 and the third connecting terminal 3 are short-circuited to short-circuit PORT2 and PORT3, so that a high voltage output is obtained between PORT4 and PORT1 (the first battery cell group and the second battery cell group are connected in series), and the battery pack externally outputs a voltage of 32 V.

Mode 2:

Through insertion of external corresponding terminals arranged on a tool, the second connecting terminal 2 and the fourth connecting terminal 4 are short-circuited to short-circuit PORT2 and PORT4, and the first connecting terminal 1 and the third connecting terminal 3 are short-circuited to short-circuit PORT1 and PORT3, so that a low voltage output is obtained between PORT4 and PORT1 (the first battery cell group and the second battery cell group are connected in parallel), and the battery pack externally outputs a voltage of 16 V.

In some embodiments, six battery cells may be provided in each battery cell group, and the battery pack can externally output two voltages of 24 V/48 V.

Ten battery cells may be provided in each battery cell group, and the battery pack can externally output two voltages of 40 V/80 V, and the like.

Through this design of the embodiments mentioned above, two voltages can be externally output by connecting matching external corresponding terminals with substantially no increase in cost of the battery pack. It can be understood that in this case, when the battery pack is being charged, a requirement for charging of the battery pack can be met by matching adjustment on terminals of a charger. With a battery pack which can externally output a voltage of 20 V/40 V as an example, the battery pack may be charged by a 20 V matching charger (charging device) or a 40 V matching charger. The charger is provided with external corresponding terminals (for example, six external corresponding terminals) matching connecting terminals respectively, and two external corresponding terminals are configured to be electrically connected to a second positive terminal and a first negative terminal respectively, and electrically connect the second positive terminal to the first negative terminal (by using a preset jumper), with a schematic function diagram of the connection shown in FIG. 4, or two external corresponding terminals are configured to be electrically connected to a first positive terminal and a second positive terminal respectively, and electrically connect the first positive terminal to the second positive terminal, and two external corresponding terminals are configured to be electrically connected to a first negative terminal and a second negative terminal respectively, and electrically connect the first negative terminal to the second negative terminal, with a schematic function diagram of the connection shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 4 shows a schematic connection between a high voltage charger and a battery pack, and FIG. 5 shows a schematic connection between a low voltage charger and a battery pack.

This broadens the application range of the battery pack. An example in which a battery pack externally outputs a voltage of 20 V/40 V is taken for description.

A voltage platform of a normal hand-held portable electric tool is substantially 20 V, so that by using a corresponding terminal jumper of a battery mounting portion of the portable electric tool (this design substantially does not increase design costs, and for the connection method, refer to the external corresponding terminals of the charger), the battery pack can operate in mode 2, and an operation time can be further prolonged by connecting two groups of battery cells in parallel (equivalent to configuring two battery packs).

If the battery pack is applied to a tool with a high-voltage platform (such as a cutting circular saw and a DIY hammer drill), the battery pack can operate in mode 1 by changing wiring of corresponding terminals of a battery mounting portion on the tool (this design substantially does not increase design costs). In this way, one battery pack can be used for tools with two voltage platforms (schematic function diagrams of the connections are shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. FIG. 6 shows a schematic connection between a high-voltage discharge controller of a tool and a battery pack (two external corresponding terminals of the tool electrically connect PORT2 and PORT3 to short-circuit PORT2 and PORT3). FIG. 7 shows a schematic connection between a low-voltage discharge controller of a tool and a battery pack (two external corresponding terminals of the tool electrically connect PORT2 and PORT4 to short-circuit PORT2 and PORT4, and two external male terminals electrically connect PORT1 and PORT3 to short-circuit PORT1 and PORT3), which substantially covers tools used by users on a daily basis.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9, a mounting portion 110 is disposed on a side of a housing 100 of the battery pack, a connecting portion 140 having six connecting terminals, CH+, PORT1/PORT2/PORT3/PORT4, and COM (signal terminal) is arranged on a side of the mounting portion 110, and the mounting portion 110 is configured to match and connect to a tool or a charging device (not shown in the figure). After matching and connecting to the tool or the charging device, the connecting portion 140 matches the corresponding portion of the tool or the charging device. In some embodiments, the housing 100 of the battery pack further includes a display portion 120 electrically connected to the control module MCU, which triggers the display portion 120 to display an electric quantity of the first battery cell group and/or the second battery cell group. Preferably, the display portion 120 is a display screen or an indicator. The housing 100 is provided with a button 130. The indicator 120 is turned on by pressing the button 130 on the housing 100, to display the electric quantity of the first battery cell group and/or the second battery cell group.
