This application relates to the circuit field, and more specifically, to a battery protection circuit, a battery protection board, a battery, and a terminal device.
With enhancement of battery energy density and increasingly wide application of the battery, ensuring lithium battery safety is increasingly important. Therefore, a battery protection board is usually disposed in a lithium battery, and the battery protection board can protect the battery against overvoltage, undervoltage, charging overcurrent, and discharging overcurrent.
A current battery protection board can implement double protection for a battery. After the first protection fails, the second protection can further ensure battery safety. In charging overcurrent and discharging overcurrent protection, the first protection and the second protection correspond to respective detection chips, switch elements, and current detection elements. In the first protection, the first protection is implemented based on a voltage that is at two ends of a first current detection element and that is detected by a first detection chip. In the second protection, the second protection is implemented based on a voltage that is at two ends of a second current detection element and that is detected by a second detection chip.
However, the foregoing battery protection board has a comparatively large loss, and as a result, the battery has a comparatively large loss and generates a comparatively large amount of heat. Considering that a current terminal device such as a smartphone has an increasingly large loss and an increasingly high charging speed, how to reduce a battery loss to reduce costs is a problem that needs to be urgently resolved at present.
This application provides a battery protection circuit, a battery protection board, and a battery, to effectively reduce a battery loss.
According to a first aspect, a battery protection circuit is provided, where the battery protection circuit includes:
a first output terminal and a second output terminal, configured to electrically connect to a power supply or a load;
a current detection element, a first switch unit, and a second switch unit, configured to connect to an electrochemical cell in series between the first output terminal and the second output terminal, so that the current detection element, the first switch unit, the second switch unit, the electrochemical cell, and the load or the power supply form a loop, to charge or discharge the electrochemical cell, where the current detection element includes two terminals;
a first detection unit, including a power supply terminal, a control terminal, and two detection terminals, where the power supply terminal of the first detection unit is electrically connected to the first output terminal, the two detection terminals of the first detection unit are electrically connected to the two terminals of the current detection element respectively, and the control terminal of the first detection unit is electrically connected to a terminal of the first switch unit; and

Therefore, the battery protection circuit provided in this embodiment of this application includes: the first detection unit; the second detection unit; and the current detection element, the first switch unit, and the second switch unit that are configured to connect to the electrochemical cell in series, so that the current detection element, the first switch unit, the second switch unit, the electrochemical cell, and the load or the power supply form the loop. The first detection unit corresponds to the first switch unit, and the second detection unit corresponds to the second switch unit. Each detection unit controls, based on a detected voltage at two ends of the same current detection element, a corresponding switch unit to be closed or opened, so as to control the loop to be closed or opened. The first detection unit and the second detection unit detect the voltage at the two ends of the same current detection element to detect a current passing through the electrochemical cell, so that a quantity of current detection elements in the battery protection circuit can be effectively reduced, to reduce impedance of the battery protection circuit. In this way, a loss of a battery protection board is reduced, thereby reducing costs. Especially as a current intelligent terminal has an increasingly large loss and an increasingly high charging speed, reducing a loss of a battery protection board is particularly important.

The following describes technical solutions of this application with reference to accompanying drawings.
For ease of understanding, related terms in the embodiments of this application are first described.
Charging Overcurrent and Discharging Overcurrent:
A battery protection board has a definite requirement on a value of a current. Regardless of a charging process or a discharging process, when a preset current threshold is exceeded, in a normal case, the battery protection board cuts off a charging loop or a discharging loop to avoid an overheating effect caused by a continuous current flow through an electrochemical cell. The overheating effect leads to problems in terms of a battery lifespan, a battery capacity, and battery safety. The charging loop may also be understood as a loop in which a current passes through the electrochemical cell during charging. The discharging loop may be understood as a loop in which a current passes through the electrochemical cell during discharging.
In the embodiments of this application, a phenomenon in which a current (referred to as a charging current for ease of differentiation) passing through an electrochemical cell during charging exceeds a preset current threshold may be referred to as charging overcurrent, and a phenomenon in which a current (referred to as a discharging current for ease of differentiation) passing through the electrochemical cell during discharging exceeds the preset current threshold may be referred to as discharging overcurrent. Correspondingly, a protective measure taken for charging overcurrent may be referred to as charging overcurrent protection, and a protective measure taken for discharging overcurrent may be referred to as discharging overcurrent protection. Charging overcurrent protection and discharging overcurrent protection may be collectively referred to as overcurrent protection.
Double Protection:
A battery protection board may implement overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, and overcurrent protection for a battery (for example, a lithium battery). Each type of protection may implement double protection for the battery. Generally, a voltage threshold or current threshold of the first protection is less than a voltage threshold or current threshold of the second protection. In overcurrent protection, a principle of charging overcurrent protection is the same as that of discharging overcurrent protection. The following uses charging overcurrent protection as an example to briefly describe an overcurrent protection principle.
A first-detection unit and a second-detection unit may be disposed on the battery protection board. During charging, if a current flowing through an electrochemical cell is greater than a current threshold (referred to as a first current threshold for ease of differentiation) preset by the first-detection unit, a charging loop may be cut off by using the first-detection unit, to shut off the current passing through the electrochemical cell. If the first-detection unit fails, and cannot cut off the charging loop in a timely manner, the electrochemical cell continues to be charged. If the current flowing through the electrochemical cell is greater than a current threshold preset by the second-detection unit, the charging loop may be cut off by using the second-detection unit, to shut off the current passing through the electrochemical cell.
In a possible implementation, two detection resistors (referred to as a first detection resistor and a second detection resistor for ease of differentiation) may be connected in series in the charging loop or a discharging loop. The first-detection unit is configured to detect a voltage at two ends of the first detection resistor, and the second-detection unit is configured to detect a voltage at two ends of the second detection resistor. A current passing through the electrochemical cell may be detected by detecting the voltage at the two ends of each of the two detection resistors. A reason is as follows: I=U/R, where I is a current passing through the charging loop, U is the voltage at the two ends of the detection resistor (the first detection resistor or the second detection resistor), and R is a resistance value of the detection resistor. The voltage and the resistance value of the detection resistor are known, and a current passing through the detection resistor can be obtained by using the formula I=U/R. The detection resistor and the electrochemical cell are connected in series in the charging loop or the discharging loop. Therefore, the obtained current of the detection resistor is also the current passing through the electrochemical cell. In this way, the current passing through the electrochemical cell can be detected by using the voltage detected by the detection unit, to implement overcurrent protection. If the voltage at the two ends of the first detection resistor is greater than a preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold of the first-detection unit, the charging loop or the discharging loop is cut off by using the first-detection unit, to shut off the current passing through the electrochemical cell. If the voltage at the two ends of the second detection resistor is greater than a preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold of the second-detection unit, the charging loop or the discharging loop may be cut off by using the second-detection unit, to shut off the current passing through the electrochemical cell.
It should be understood that the preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold of the detection unit (for example, the first-detection unit or the second-detection unit) is a fixed value, and a detection resistor may be selected based on requirements of the preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold and the overcurrent protection current threshold of the detection unit. R=U′/I′, where U′ is the preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold preset by the detection unit, and I is the current threshold. A resistance value of the detection resistor can be obtained by using the formula R=U′/I′.
In this way, disposing two detection units on the battery protection board can effectively ensure safety of the battery.
In the foregoing double protection for the battery, the battery protection board has a comparatively large loss. To reduce a loss of a battery protection board, the embodiments of this application provide a battery protection circuit disposed on the battery protection board, to help reduce the loss of the battery protection board, thereby reducing costs of the battery protection board.
In the embodiments of this application, one current detection element is disposed for a first-detection unit and a second-detection unit, so that the first-detection unit and the second detection unit jointly use the one current detection element to implement overcurrent protection. An objective of reducing a loss of a battery protection board is achieved by reducing a quantity of current detection elements, so as to reduce costs of the battery protection board.

The control terminal 3 of the first detection unit 221 is electrically connected to a terminal 3 of the first switch unit 212, to control the first switch unit 212 to be closed or opened, thereby controlling the loop to be closed or opened. Likewise, the second detection unit 222 includes a power supply terminal (a VDD terminal), a control terminal 3, and two detection terminals (a terminal 1 and a terminal 2). The VDD terminal of the second detection unit 222 is electrically connected to the first output terminal P+, to supply power to the second detection unit 222, thereby providing an operating voltage and current for the second detection unit 222, and ensuring normal operation of the second detection unit 222. The two detection terminals of the second detection unit 222 are electrically connected to the two terminals (the terminal 1 and the terminal 2) of the current detection element 211 respectively, to detect the voltage at the two ends of the current detection element 211. The control terminal 3 of the second detection unit 222 is electrically connected to a terminal 3 of the second switch unit 213, to control the second switch unit 213 to be closed or opened, thereby controlling the loop to be closed or opened.
The first detection unit 221 may be understood as the first-detection unit described above, and the second detection unit 222 may be understood as the second-detection unit described above. Alternatively, the first detection unit 221 may be understood as the second-detection unit described above, and the second detection unit 222 may be understood as the first-detection unit described above. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For ease of description, the first detection unit 221 may be used as the first-detection unit, and the second detection unit 222 may be used as the second-detection unit. In addition, for ease of differentiation, a preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold of the first detection unit 221 is denoted by U1, a preset overcurrent detection voltage threshold at two ends of the second detection unit 222 is denoted by U2, and the voltage at the two ends of the current detection element 211 is denoted by U0.
Specifically, the first detection unit 221 is configured to detect the voltage U0 at the two ends of the current detection element 211. If U0 is greater than U1, the first detection unit 221 sends a control signal to the first switch unit 212 to open the first switch unit 212, thereby opening the loop, so as to implement overcurrent protection. Likewise, the second detection unit 222 is also configured to detect the voltage U0 at the two ends of the current detection element 211. If the first detection unit 221 fails, even if U0 is greater than U1, the loop cannot be opened in a timely manner, and the electrochemical cell continues to be charged or discharged, until U0 is greater than U2; when U0 is greater than U2, the second detection unit 222 sends a control signal to the second switch unit 213 to open the second switch unit 213, thereby opening the loop, so as to implement overcurrent protection.
To sum up, the battery protection circuit provided in this embodiment of this application includes: the first detection unit; the second detection unit; and the current detection element, the first switch unit, and the second switch unit that are configured to connect to the electrochemical cell in series, so that the current detection element, the first switch unit, the second switch unit, the electrochemical cell, and the load or the power supply form the loop. The first detection unit corresponds to the first switch unit, and the second detection unit corresponds to the second switch unit. Each detection unit controls, based on the detected voltage at the two ends of the same current detection element, a corresponding switch unit to be closed or opened, so as to control the loop to be closed or opened. The first detection unit and the second detection unit detect the voltage at the two ends of the same current detection element to detect a current passing through the electrochemical cell, so that a quantity of current detection elements in the battery protection circuit can be effectively reduced, to reduce impedance of the battery protection circuit. In this way, a loss of a battery protection board is reduced, thereby reducing costs. Especially as a current intelligent terminal has an increasingly large loss and an increasingly high charging speed, reducing a loss of a battery protection board is particularly important.

Although impedance in the circuit can be reduced by sharing one current detection element by the first detection unit and the second detection unit, if the two detection terminals of the first detection unit or the second detection unit are short-circuited or the two terminals of the filter capacitor are short-circuited, it is possible that overcurrent protection of the battery protection circuit cannot be implemented. Using
Therefore, to avoid a phenomenon in which a failure of one detection unit affects an overcurrent protection function of the other detection unit and causes burnout of an element, in the embodiments of this application, a fault isolation unit may be further disposed in the battery protection circuit, so that a current can still flow through the current detection element when, for example, the two detection terminals of the first detection unit or the second detection unit are short-circuited or the two terminals of the filter capacitor are short-circuited, to implement double protection for the battery.

For example, the first fault isolation unit 250 may be a unit module that includes one or more elements.
For the first fault isolation unit 250, the embodiments of this application provide two possible manners (namely, a manner 1 and a manner 2), so that the two ends of the current detection element 211 are not short-circuited. In the manner 1, the first fault isolation unit 250 includes one fault isolation element, corresponding to
Manner 1:
In this manner, the first fault isolation unit 250 is electrically connected to one detection terminal of the first detection unit 221 and one terminal of the current detection element 211 separately, so that the second detection unit 222 can work normally when, for example, a short circuit occurs between the two detection terminals of the first detection unit 221 or the first filter capacitor is short-circuited.

The second terminal 2 of the current detection element 211 is electrically connected to the second detection terminal of the first detection unit 221.
For example, the first fault isolation element 251 may be a resistor R13.

Manner 2:
In this manner, the first fault isolation unit 250 includes two fault isolation elements, and each fault isolation element is electrically connected to one detection terminal of the first detection unit 221 and one terminal of the current detection element 211, so that the second detection unit 222 can work normally when, for example, the first filter capacitor is short-circuited or a short circuit occurs between the two detection terminals of the first detection unit 221.

The first terminal 1 of the first fault isolation element 251 is electrically connected to the first detection terminal 1 of the first detection unit 221. The second terminal 2 of the first fault isolation element 251 is electrically connected to the first terminal 1 of the current detection element 211. The first terminal 1 of the second fault isolation element 252 is electrically connected to the second detection terminal 2 of the first detection unit 221. The second terminal 2 of the second fault isolation element 251 is electrically connected to the second terminal 2 of the current detection element. Both of the first detection terminal 1 and the second detection terminal 2 of the first detection unit 221 are current detection terminals.
For example, the first fault isolation element 251 may be a resistor R13, and the second fault isolation element may be a resistor R14.

A working principle is the same as that in the manner 1. In this manner, for example, when a short circuit occurs between the terminals IS1 and IS2 of the first detection unit 221 or a short circuit occurs between the two terminals of the first filter capacitor C12, referring to
Therefore, in the battery protection circuit provided in the embodiments of this application, the first fault isolation unit electrically connected to the first detection unit and the current detection element is disposed. In some cases, for example, when a short circuit occurs between the two detection terminals in the first detection unit that are configured to detect the voltage at the two ends of the current detection element, or when a short circuit occurs between the two terminals of the first filter capacitor connected in parallel between the two detection terminals of the first detection unit that are configured to detect the voltage of the current detection element, because the first fault isolation unit is disposed, a current can still flow through the current detection element, to form a voltage at the two ends of the current detection element. The loop can be controlled to be closed or opened, by detecting the voltage at the two ends of the current detection element. This does not affect overcurrent protection of the second detection unit and the second switch unit, and does not cause burnout of the first detection unit or the first filter capacitor.
To ensure overcurrent protection reliability as far as possible, resistance values of the first fault isolation unit 250 and the current detection element 211 may be properly designed to make, as far as possible, an absolute value of a difference between a resistance value of the current detection element 211 and equivalent impedance of a circuit formed through a parallel connection between the first fault isolation unit 250 and the current detection element 211 be less than or equal to a preset value. Optionally, the preset value may be 50% of the resistance value of the current detection unit. Theoretically, the preset value should be as small as possible, because a smaller preset value can make a before-fault overcurrent protection effect be closer to an after-fault overcurrent protection effect, and indicates higher overcurrent protection reliability.
Optionally, the resistance value of the current detection element 211 is a milliohm-level resistance, and a resistance value of the first fault isolation unit 250 is an ohm-level resistance.
For example, common values of the current detection element 211 are 5 mΩ, 3 mΩ, 2 mΩ, and 1.5 mΩ.

Likewise, if the first fault isolation unit 250 includes a plurality of elements, a relationship between a resistance value of the element connected in series to the plurality of elements and equivalent impedance of a circuit formed through a parallel connection to the current detection unit is similar to that described above, and details are not described again.
Therefore, in the battery protection circuit provided in the embodiments of this application, because the absolute value of the difference between the resistance value of the current detection element and the equivalent impedance of the circuit formed through the parallel connection between the first fault isolation circuit and the current detection element is less than or equal to the preset value, before and after some faults occur, for example, before and after a short circuit occurs between the two detection terminals in the first detection unit that are configured to detect the voltage at the two ends of the current detection element, or before and after a short circuit occurs between the two terminals of the first filter capacitor connected in parallel between the two detection terminals of the first detection unit, a difference between thresholds of a current passing through the electrochemical cell can be comparatively small. This can improve overcurrent protection reliability.
