The technical field

The present invention relates to a charger that charges the battery power tools to.

Prior art

The first example of a normal charger, charging the battery, disclosed in lined Japanese patent application № 08-031461.

Charger for the first example, must charge the battery with a specific output voltage. The charger is configured so that the reference voltage for the determination as to whether charging voltage, which must be connected to the battery specified target charging voltage may be subject to a variable resistor

In addition, the first example is configured so that the charging voltage is driven on the basis of the reference voltage so that to reach the target of charge voltage.

A second example of conventional charger disclosed in lined Japanese patent application № 2003-284334. In the second example, the first reference voltage to bias circuit level with which triggers a second reference voltage greater than the first reference voltage supplied to the integrated circuit. Submission of the second reference voltage integrated circuit is controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM), which provides, therefore, the change in output voltage integrating circuit 0 V to second reference voltage.

Summary of being invention

In the tool with the actuator supplied from the battery as required output voltage batteries varies depending on the type of instrument electric, battery charger, power necessary to charge batteries that can change. Therefore described above in the first example, you might have a problem, which is that when the user brings to the workplace several types of instruments with electric drive, you must also bring to the job several types of chargers.

With that said, in the first example, you can use the output voltage of the integrated circuit in the second example, as the reference voltage, instead of the reference voltage is generated through the use of a variable resistor. However, although the range of output voltage of integrated circuits in the second example could be broader than the range of change of voltage in the first example, we can understand that if the duty cycle of the PWM signal is not installed properly, the output voltage integrated circuits is not relevant to the given one.

According to the present invention proposed charger specifically designed for battery power tools to, and in which the reference voltage for the determination as to whether the charging current for the battery target charging voltage can be changed to any value within the appropriate range.

Charger, according to the invention, contains a block of output of the charging voltage, the unit installation time, the block output signal PWM, generating block of the reference voltage, the power limit of the reference voltage, the unit of generation voltage detected and the control unit charging voltage.

In the charger unit output of the charging voltage outputs battery charging voltage, which is the voltage for charging batteries for power tools to; block installation time sets the duration of activation of the PWM signal, based on target charging voltage, which is the target voltage for charging voltage; the block output signal PWM outputs PWM signal with a time to be determined with the help of unit of time; block generate a reference voltage generates the reference voltage for the determination as to whether charging voltage target charging voltage, by smoothing the PWM signal that is output from the block output signal PWM; block restrictions reference voltage limits at least one from the maximum or minimum value of the reference voltage, generated box generation the reference voltage; block the generation voltage detected charger detects the voltage output from the block output of the charging voltage, and generates the detected voltage, which is the voltage corresponding to the discovery; and the control unit charging voltage controls the charging voltage is derived from the block output of the charging voltage, based on the detected voltage and core voltage.

In the charger, containing the above blocks, you can generate a reference voltage, variable to any value by smoothing the PWM signal. It is possible to limit, at least one from the maximum or minimum value of the reference voltage. Given this, if at least one from the maximum or minimum value of the reference voltage is properly installed, you can prevent the deviation from the reference voltage from the appropriate range, even when the duration of activation of the PWM signal is not installed properly.

That is, according to the invention of the proposed charger, where the reference voltage can be changed to any value within the appropriate range.

The block limits of the reference voltage can be configured any way to limit, at least one from the maximum or minimum value of the reference voltage.

For example, the power limitation voltage reference may include the first resistor, the second resistor and a third resistor. In the block limits of the reference voltage PWM signal can be served at one end of the first resistor, the specified primary voltage can be served at one end of the second resistor and given a second voltage greater than first tension, can be served at one end of the third resistor. In addition, the other end of the first resistor, the other end of the second resistor and the other end of the third resistor can be connected to each other.

In case when the block limits of the reference voltage is configured in the manner described above, when the amplitude of the voltage signal PWM, which can determine the value of the reference voltage, the magnitude of the first voltage, the value of the second voltage, resistance value of the first resistor, the value of resistance of the second resistor and resistance value of the third resistor, are set accordingly, the maximum value and minimum value of the voltage generated at the point where the other end of the first resistor, the other end of the second resistor, and the other end of the third resistor connected to each other, may be limited to a predetermined value.

Accordingly, serving as the reference voltage at the control unit charging voltage is the voltage, which is generated in the point where the other end of the first resistor, the other end of the second resistor and the other end of the third resistor connected to each other, for the value of the reference voltage, which must be connected to the control unit charging voltage may be allowed deviation from the appropriate range.

For example, the voltage PWM signal when the logic level of the PWM signal is Low, can be set to be equal to the first voltage, and the voltage amplitude of the PWM signal can be set to be equal to the voltage differential between the voltage and the second voltage.

In this case, when the duration of activation of the PWM signal becomes, for example, maximum (that is, 100%), the value of the reference voltage submitted on one end of the first resistor, and the value of the second voltage submitted on one end of the third resistor, are the same.

In the case described above, for the block limits of the reference voltage is formed equivalent circuit, in which the first resistor and a third resistor connected in parallel with each other, and the second resistor connected in series with parallel connected circuit. In the equivalent circuit, essentially, the reference voltage has a value obtained by dividing the voltage amplitude of the PWM signal (a voltage difference between the voltage and the second voltage) through the United resistor formed the first resistor and a third resistor, and the second resistor.

When the duration of activation of the PWM signal is minimal (i.e., 0%), the value of the reference voltage submitted on one end of the first resistor, and the value of the first voltage submitted on one end of the second resistor, are the same.

In the case described above, for the block limits of the reference voltage is formed equivalent circuit, in which the first resistor and the second resistor connected in parallel with each other, and a third resistor connected in series with parallel connected circuit. In the equivalent circuit, essentially, the reference voltage has a value obtained by dividing the voltage differential between the voltage and the second voltage through the United resistor formed the first resistor and the second resistor, and a third resistor.

Thus, in accordance with the above block limits of the reference voltage, it is possible to create the maximum value of the reference voltage is less than the amplitude of the voltage signal PWM, and create minimum value of the reference voltage than the voltage of the PWM signal when the logic level of the PWM signal is "Low".

The unit of generation of the reference voltage can be configured any way to smooth out a PWM signal. For example, the unit of generation of the reference voltage can include at least one capacitor to smooth the PWM signal.

In addition, as described above charger may include the detection unit reference voltage and the power adjustment cycle. Detection unit reference voltage detects the value of the reference voltage. Block adjustment cycle regulates the time set by the unit installation time, so the value of the reference voltage is detected with the detection unit reference voltage matches the target value of the reference voltage, which is the target voltage reference voltage, in accordance with the target charging voltage.

In the charger, presents as described above, since the duty cycle of the PWM signal is adjustable so that the value of the reference voltage matches the target value of the reference voltage, the reference voltage can be accurately communicated to the target reference voltage and, optionally, the charging voltage can be accurately communicated to target the charging voltage.

Target charging voltage can be changed during charging or changed during the charge.

The charger can include the installation unit target charging voltage, which sets a target charging voltage, based at least on one specified condition of installation.

In this case, it is possible to set the target charging voltage in line, at least one condition installation.

In case when the charger includes the detection unit environment, which detects the state of the environment around the charger, at least, the result of the detection unit detect the state of the environment can be set to block the installation target charging voltage as at least one installation conditions.

In this case, since it is possible to set the target charging voltage depending on the state of environment in the charger, the battery can be charged charging voltage depending on the state of environment charger.

Detection unit environment can define any environment as object detection. Object detection may be such as temperature, humidity, etc.

In case when the charger includes a block of information about the battery, which gets battery battery information, which is information that is associated with battery, for example, at least, battery information received by the unit receiving information about the battery, such information can be installed in the unit installation target charging voltage as at least one installation conditions.

In this case, since it is possible to set the target charging voltage depending on the battery information, the battery can be charged charging voltage depending on the battery information.

Information about the battery can be any information relating to the battery.

If battery information is information suggesting that at least one of the characteristics of the battery, it is possible, for example, to set the target charging voltage based, at least one of the characteristics of the battery and optional charge the battery charging voltage is dependent, at least one of the characteristics of the battery.

If battery information is information suggesting history of use, the battery may, for example, to set the target charging voltage depending on the history of battery use, and optionally to charge the battery charging voltage is dependent on the history of battery use.

In the diagram 16 definition of temperature is made as described above, voltage Vcc control power supplied from a schema 12 control and power, says resistor R10 and thermistor TM1. Divided voltage is displayed as a signal to determine the temperature on the main unit 17 management.

In the diagram 16 determining the temperature, corresponding to the present variant of the incarnation, as thermistor TM1 has described above electrical characteristics, when the ambient temperature scheme of determining the temperature increases, the voltage signal detecting temperature is reduced and when the ambient temperature scheme of determining the temperature decreases, the signal voltage detection of temperature increases.

The scheme 181 generate a reference voltage contains resistors R1, R3, and R4 and capacitor C1.

Resistor R1 one end is connected to one of the output ports of the I/O of 174 available in the main unit 17 management, and the other end is connected with reinvestiruet the amplifier input OP1 and with one of the input ports of the I/O of 174 available in the main unit 17 management.

The capacitor C1 one end connected to the terminal nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1 and the other end is connected to the negative electrode scheme 12 control and power.

That is, in the scheme of 181 generate a reference voltage other end of the resistor R1, the other end of the resistor R3 and the other end of the resistor R4 are connected to each other.

Bit scheme 182 contains transistor Tr1 and resistor R2. Transistor Tr1 is bipolar transistor n-p-n type. Collector transistor Tr1 connected to the terminal nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1. Emitter of transistor Tr1 is connected to the negative electrode scheme 12 control and power. The base of the transistor Tr1 is connected through a resistor R2 with one of the output ports of the I/O of 174 available in the main unit 17 management.

Diagram 183 detection of charging voltage contains in itself resistors R5, R6, R7, and R8.

Diagram 184 o contains a resistor R9 and the optocoupler 185. Resistor R9 one end is connected to the output pin of the amplifier OP1 and the second end is connected to the cathode LED 185a optocouplers 185. Anode LED 185 connected to the line (L1 hand positive voltage. The emitter and collector phototransistor Tr2 in the optocoupler 185 connected with the switching scheme 111.

In figure 18 management charge is made as described above, when the PWM signal is fed to the conclusion nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1 through resistor R1 from the main unit 17 management, PWM signal, given from the main unit 17 management smoothed capacitor C1. Smoothed PWM signal is fed to the conclusion nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1 as a reference voltage for the determination as to whether charging voltage target charging voltage. PWM signal in this version of the incarnation is set so that when the logic level of the PWM signal is Low, the voltage PWM signal is 0 Century PWM Signal in this version of the incarnation also be installed so that the voltage amplitude of the PWM signal is equal to the voltage, Vcc positive electrode scheme 12 control and power.

In figure 18 management charge, when the duration of activation of the PWM signal maximum (that is, 100%), the voltage (Vcc), filed as described above, on one end of the resistor R1, and the voltage (Vcc), filed as described above, on one end of the resistor R3, is one and the same.

In this case, in the scheme of 18 charge control is formed equivalent circuit, in which the resistors R1 and R3 are connected in parallel with each other, and resistor R4 is connected in series with parallel connected circuit. Thanks to the equivalent circuit, designed voltage (reference voltage), submitted for conclusion nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1, has the value obtained by dividing the voltage Vcc through a consolidated resistor R1 and R3 resistor R4.

In figure 18 management charge, when the duration of activation of minimum PWM signal (that is, 0%), value of a voltage (0 V), filed as described above, on one end of the resistor R1, and the voltage (0 V), filed as described above, on one end of the resistor R4 are the same.

In this case, in the scheme of 18 charge control is formed equivalent circuit, in which the resistors R1 and R4 are connected in parallel to each other and resistor R3 is connected in series with parallel connected circuit. Thanks to the equivalent circuit, designed voltage (reference voltage), submitted for conclusion nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1, has the value obtained by dividing the voltage Vcc through a consolidated resistor R1 and R4 and resistor R3.

Values for resistors R1, R3, and R4 in this version of the incarnation are set so that when the duration of activation of minimum PWM signal, voltage (reference voltage), submitted for conclusion nennwertlose amplifier's input OP1, has the value corresponding to the lower limit (in this embodiment, constant voltage 18 In) the target of the charging voltage.

In figure 18 management charge, when the current signal to enable transistor Tr1 is served on the base of transistor Tr1 through the resistor R2 from the main unit 17 management, transistor Tr1 is included, to defuse the electric charge accumulated in the capacitor C1, on the negative electrode scheme 12 control and power.

In addition, in figure 18 management charge amplifier OP1 compares the second signal voltage detection voltage and the reference voltage. When the voltage of the second signal detection voltage not reached the reference voltage, the logic level output voltage of the amplifier OP1 is set to be High, and when the voltage of the second signal detection voltage has reached the reference voltage, the logic level output voltage of the amplifier OP1 is set to be "Low".

Additionally, in figure 18 charge control when the logic level output voltage of the amplifier OP1 is set to be High, LED 185a in the optocoupler 185 off and the phototransistor Tr2 in the optocoupler 185 off. When the logic level output voltage of the amplifier OP1 is set to be "Low", LED 185a in the optocoupler 185 included and a phototransistor Tr2 in the optocoupler 185 included. When the phototransistor Tr2 off, switching scheme repeats switching switching member, sets the enable (ON) switch element in a switching cycle is gradually increasing. As a result of this operation the switching, the charging voltage is gradually increasing. When the phototransistor Tr2 is enabled, switching scheme 111 stops switching switching element. Stopping switching operations charging voltage decreases.

Next we will explain the process of management of charge, executed by the main unit 17 management (more specifically, the Central processor 171).

Main unit 17 management performs this process, when the battery 20 connected to a charger 1.

As shown in Fig. 4 first determined whether the logic level signal data entered from the battery 20, in the state of "Low" within a specified time period (in this version of the incarnation is 10 MS) (S10). In other words, at the stage S10 is determined, can be requested from the battery 20 data signal.

If the logic level signal data not corresponding to "Low" in a given period of time (at time S10: None), this process immediately jumps to the stage S120 (explained below). If the state of the logical signal level data is the state of "Low" for a specified period of time (at time S10: Yes, data CV is requested for schema 201 battery management 20 (S20). Data CV are data that have at least one of the characteristics of the battery 20 (for example, the battery capacity 20) and the use of batteries, 20, etc.

When data CV taken (S30), the temperature is determined by the diagram 16 definition of temperature, it turns out, on the basis of the temperature signal from the schema of the 16 definition of temperature (S40). In the future, based on the data CV and temperature, defined schema 16 definition of temperature, set the target charging voltage corresponding to battery power 20 (S50). After that, set the target reference voltage (S60), which must be set as the reference voltage depending on the target of the charging voltage. Target reference voltage corresponding target charging voltage, can be pre-stored in ROM 172, available in the main unit 17 management. Alternatively, the procedure for calculation of target reference voltage, which must be set in accordance with the target charging voltage, can be pre-stored in ROM 172, and CPU 171 can calculate the target reference voltage in accordance with the calculation procedure.

After installing the target reference voltage is finished, calculated activation time, the respective target charging voltage, and the calculated activation time is set as the duty cycle of the PWM signal to be displayed (S70). PWM signal to the time set on the stage S70, displayed (S80) and reference voltage is detected (S90). Then determined whether the detected reference voltage with a target reference voltage (S100).

If you found the reference voltage is not the same as the target reference voltage (phase S100: No)activation time is adjustable (S110) and then the process returns to step S100. At the stage S110 activation time can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the duration of the inclusion to a given value. Alternatively, the difference between the detected voltage reference and target reference voltage can be calculated and the activation time can be adjusted based on the calculated difference.

If you found the reference voltage matches the target reference voltage (phase S100: Yes)is detected whether full battery charge 20 or detected whether the deviation from the norm in the battery 20 (S120). If no full battery charge 20, no deviation from the norm in the battery 20 not found (on stage S120: No, the current process is returned to the stage S10. If found full battery charge 20 or deviation from the norm in the battery 20 (at the stage S120: Yes, the withdrawal of the PWM signal is terminated (S130) and then transistor Tr1 is enabled (S140). After the described process is finished.

In the charger 1 made as described above, could be generated reference voltage, which can be any value, by smoothing the PWM signal and, optionally, to limit maximum and minimum values of the reference voltage. Therefore, you can prevent the deviation from the reference voltage from the appropriate range, even if the duty cycle of the PWM signal is not properly installed. That is, charger 1 can change the reference voltage to any value within the appropriate range.

More specifically, in the battery charger 1 to the maximum value of the reference voltage can be set less than the voltage Vcc, while the minimum value of the reference voltage can be set greater than 0 C. In addition, in the charger 1 electric charge accumulated in the capacitor C1, may drain transistor Tr1 on the negative electrode scheme 12 control and power. Thus, the reference voltage can be quickly reduced.

In addition, in the charger 1, since the duty cycle of the PWM signal is adjustable so that the reference voltage matches the target voltage reference, the reference voltage can be precisely target reference voltage and, optionally, the charging voltage can accurately target the charging voltage.

Although that was described above was one embodiment of the present invention, it should be understood that the invention should not be limited to the above version of implementation and may be implemented in various forms within the technical scope of the present invention.

For example, in the charger 1 corresponding to the above incarnation, the reference voltage is generated by smoothing the PWM signal. However, to generate a reference voltage can be used digital-to-analog Converter.

In addition, in the charger 1 corresponding to the above incarnation, is determined by the ambient temperature of the battery charger 1 and then set the activation time, based on a certain temperature. However, to set the duration of inclusion, based on the state of the environment, can be detected another indicator of environment, other than temperature, for example, humidity.

In the above-described version of the incarnation transistor Tr1 is bipolar transistor n-p-n type. However, the transistor Tr1 may be bipolar transistor p-n-p type. Alternative, transistor Tr1 may be other switching element, such as field-effect transistors or integrated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT).

Moreover, in the above embodiment, to smooth signal PWM one capacitor. However, the smoothing of the PWM signal can be performed using a variety of capacitors, each of which is connected in series or parallel.

Also, although the above-described version of the incarnation main unit 17 control displays a PWM signal, electronic circuit that produces PWM signal, may be stipulated separately.

In the above embodiment, the voltage amplitude of the PWM signal is set equal to the voltage, Vcc. However, the amplitude of the voltage of the PWM signal can be installed on a different voltage on voltage Vcc.

Although the above-described version implemented on one end of the resistor R3 voltage is Vcc, may be filed with a different voltage on voltage Vcc. Also, although the above-described version of the incarnation voltage at one end of the resistor R4 is set equal to 0, the voltage can be set to different voltage from 0 Century

In addition, the above-described version of the incarnation to compare the value of the reference voltage and the voltage of the second definition signal voltage operational amplifier is used. However, instead of an operational amplifier can be used comparator.

Additionally, in the above-described version of the incarnation scheme 181 generate a reference voltage is made with the possibility of restrictions as to the maximum value and minimum value of the reference voltage. However, the scheme 181 generate a reference voltage can be made with the possibility of restrictions only maximum values, or only the minimum value of the reference voltage.

In the above-described version of the incarnation scheme in which the resistors R1, R3 and R4 are connected to each other, is used to limit the maximum and minimum values of the reference voltage. However, to limit the maximum and minimum values of the reference voltage can be used scheme, different from the scheme described above. For example, to restrict, at least, only maximum values, or only the minimum value of the reference voltage can be used well-known scheme limiter using at least one operational amplifier.

In addition, the scheme 181 generate a reference voltage in the above-described version of the incarnation is configured to limit the maximum or minimum value of the reference voltage when the duration of activation of the PWM signal is 100% or 0%. However, the scheme 181 generate a reference voltage can be configured to limit the maximum and minimum values of the reference voltage when the time is different from 100% and 0%. In this case can be used, for example, the above-described scheme limiter.
