Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of power supply application, in particular to an automatic driving dual-power-supply control system and method.

Background

At present, in the framework of a dual-power input uncontrolled device of equipment, dual-power inputs of dual-power load equipment are directly connected together in a short mode through a diode respectively to supply power to the equipment, in actual work, the power supply on two sides is completely uncontrolled, and the voltage on which side of a power supply 1 and a power supply 2 is high, namely the power supply is automatically and completely carried out on which side. Therefore, the load shared by the power supplies on the two sides is difficult to accurately calculate, and the current value of the double-power-supply controller is difficult to accurately measure. Therefore, both side power supplies need to be designed by considering that the load current is supplied by the side, and the dual power supply controller needs to be designed by considering that the load current is completely supplied by the dual power supply controller, so that great waste exists in design, cost, volume and the like can be increased, and the situation that the load current is not necessarily completely used actually can be caused.

Meanwhile, the structure of the dual-power switching device for the automobile in the existing 'dual-power switching device and automobile' patent comprises the same components as the structure of the dual-power input uncontrolled device, and the difference lies in the internal structure of dual-power load equipment. In the dual-power input of the dual-power load equipment, a power supply 1 supplies power to a load through a diode, a power supply 2 supplies power to the load through an MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) tube Q, and a G pole of the Q obtains power from the input of the power supply 1 to carry out logic judgment on the connection and disconnection of the Q. Although this architecture can solve the power supply switching requirement of the dual power supply device, there are some potential problems as follows: firstly, the power taking from the power supply 1 or the power supply 2 is a passive control mode, and the control strategy of active adjustment cannot be considered; secondly, when the power supply 1 is over-voltage, the power supply 1 cannot be effectively cut off and switched to the power supply 2 for power supply, and effective voltage stabilization protection cannot be performed, so that equipment can still be powered by the power supply 1, and the load equipment is possibly dormant or damaged to bring danger. Thirdly, the power supply of the power supply 1 cannot be cut off, and if the OTA or other functional requirements need to be hung on the normal power (the power supply of the storage battery) of the automobile, larger quiescent current may exist after the engine of the automobile is shut down without power failure, so that higher requirements are put on the storage battery of the automobile. And if the power is required to be cut off, a switch or a relay is required to be added externally for control, at the moment, the equipment is completely cut off, and the requirement that the OTA or other functional requirements are required to be hung on the normal power (the storage battery is used for supplying power) of the automobile cannot be met. For example, the application effect is poor for an automatic driving domain controller with OTA requirement, large power and quiescent current, complex function and high integration level. Fourthly, when the power supply 1 is short-circuited or under-voltage, the voltage drops sharply, one side of the power supply 1 cannot supply power, the Q is switched on with a slight delay, and at the moment, one side of the power supply 2 cannot supply power before the Q is completely switched on, so that the load equipment may be powered off for a period of time, and the equipment may be in a dormant state and a dangerous vehicle state.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The technical basis of the invention is as follows: the simple structure of the device dual-power input uncontrolled device is shown in fig. 1, and the structure comprises a power supply 1, a power supply 2, a dual-power controller (DCDC), a dual-power load device and a fuse. In the framework, the dual power inputs of the dual power load device are directly shorted together through a diode respectively to supply power to the device, and the power load in the device is represented by a resistance symbol in fig. 1. In actual operation, the power supply on both sides is completely uncontrolled, and the voltage on either side of the power supply 1 and the power supply 2 is high, namely the power supply is automatically and completely carried out on either side. Therefore, the load shared by the power supplies on the two sides is difficult to accurately calculate, and the current value of the double-power-supply controller is difficult to accurately measure. Therefore, both side power supplies need to be designed by considering that the load current is supplied by the side, and the dual power supply controller needs to be designed by considering that the load current is completely supplied by the dual power supply controller, so that great waste exists in design, cost, volume and the like can be increased, and the situation that the load current is not necessarily completely used actually can be caused. The structure of the dual power switching device for the automobile is shown in fig. 2, and the components of the structure are the same as those of the previous structure, and the only difference is the internal structure of the dual power load device.

The framework can meet the power supply switching requirement of the dual-power supply equipment. When the power supply 1 supplies power normally, the input of the power supply 1 is high, namely G of Q is extremely high, so that Q is not conducted, and at the moment, only the power supply 1 supplies power to equipment; when the power supply 1 is short/under-voltage, the input of the power supply 1 is low, the G pole of Q is low, so that Q is conducted, and at the moment, only the power supply 2 supplies power to the equipment.

The power supply 1 supplies power to the domain controller through the anti-reverse diode and the intelligent MOS tube Q1, the power supply 2 supplies power to the domain controller through the anti-reverse diode and the intelligent MOS tube Q2, the states of Q1 and Q2 are controlled by the drive controller of the MOS, the control signal of the drive controller is set according to the state of a power supply network fed back by a hard-wire analog power supply signal and a CAN communication signal, and the drive controller of the MOS directly takes power from the power supply input at two sides. Meanwhile, the domain controller is also connected with a capacitor C and a voltage stabilizing diode VD (according to requirements) in parallel, and the functions of follow current and voltage stabilization are achieved. The framework design of the invention can effectively solve the defects of the dual-power supply equipment in the prior framework in the aspect of power supply control.

According to any of the above embodiments, the domain controller further comprises a preset control strategy; wherein the preset control strategy is determined based on an application occasion or condition;

the preset control strategy is used for driving the driving controller to respectively control the states of the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 based on the control state signals including the analog voltage signal and the communication signal sent by the dual-power controller.

Based on any one of the above embodiments, the preset control strategy includes a first control strategy, a second control strategy and a third control strategy;

the preset control strategy is determined based on applicable occasions or conditions and comprises the following steps:

when the power of the domain controller is smaller than a preset threshold value, determining that the first control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 respectively;

when the safety level of the driving controller for controlling the switch tube is greater than a preset level, determining that the second control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 respectively;

when the voltage difference between the first power supply and the second power supply is not less than a preset threshold, determining that the third control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2, respectively.

Based on any of the above embodiments, the determining that the first control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2 respectively includes:

when the domain controller works normally, the states of the first power switch tube Q1 being closed and the second power switch tube Q2 being opened are fed back to a power management chip of the domain controller, and the first power supply supplies power to the domain controller;

when the dual-power controller is in a protection mode, the first power switch tube Q1 is automatically protected and cut off, the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 are both disconnected, and the first power supply and the second power supply do not supply power and are continued by power supplied by a capacitor;

the switching states of a first power switch tube Q1 and a second power switch tube Q2 are fed back to a power management chip of the domain controller, the power management chip of the domain controller receives signals that the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 are both disconnected, outputs control signals to control the second power switch tube Q2 to be closed, keeps the first power switch tube Q1 disconnected, and feeds back the states to the power management chip of the domain controller after the second power switch tube Q2 is closed;

when the first power supply or the first power switch Q1 is recovered to the protection state, the power management chip of the domain controller controls the second power switch Q2 to be turned off first, and controls the first power switch Q1 to be turned on after receiving the signal that the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2 are both turned off.

Specifically, control strategy 1: during normal work, Q1 is closed, Q2 disconnection, and two intelligent MOS pipes feed back the switching state to PM (power management) chip through communication signal, and the domain controller is got the electricity from power 1 completely this moment.

When the intelligent MOS transistor Q1 is switched off in a self-protection mode after entering a protection state (including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent or Q1 overtemperature of the power supply 1), the Q1 and the Q2 are both switched off, the power supplies on the two sides cannot supply power, and the capacitor C plays a role in continuing power supply.

The two intelligent MOS tubes feed back the switching state to a PM (Power management) chip through communication signals, the PM (Power management) chip of the domain controller outputs the communication signals to control Q2 to be closed and maintain Q1 to be opened after receiving the communication signals that Q1 and Q2 are both opened, and the intelligent MOS tube Q2 feeds back the state to the PM chip through the communication signals after being closed.

If power supply 1 or Q1 recovers from the protection state, the PM chip controls Q2 to open first, and controls Q1 to close after receiving the communication signal that Q1 and Q2 are both open, according to a similar logic.

In the strategy, because of the requirement of maintaining the power supply continuity, the value of the capacitor C also has corresponding requirements, and the specific value CAN be calculated according to the time for receiving the CAN signal and judging the protection by the MCU, the power consumption of the domain controller and the power supply requirement in the ISO-16750.2 standard.

Because the capacitor C is involved to maintain the power supply, the above first control strategy is more suitable for applications where the domain controller power is relatively small.

Based on any of the above embodiments, the determining that the second control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2 respectively includes:

when the domain controller works normally, the states of the first power switch tube Q1 being closed and the second power switch tube Q2 being opened are fed back to a power management chip of the domain controller, and the first power supply supplies power to the domain controller;

when the dual-power controller is in a protection mode, the first power switch tube Q1 transmits an analog voltage signal to the second power switch tube Q2, the second power switch tube Q2 is closed after receiving the analog voltage signal, and the first power supply and the second power supply both supply power to the domain controller and are subjected to voltage stabilization protection by the capacitor or the voltage stabilization diode;

the switching states of a first power switch tube Q1 and a second power switch tube Q2 are fed back to a power management chip of the domain controller, the power management chip of the domain controller receives signals that the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 are both closed, outputs control signals to control the first power switch tube Q1 to be disconnected and maintains the second power switch tube Q2 to be closed, and the state is fed back to the power management chip of the domain controller after the first power switch tube Q1 is disconnected;

when the first power supply or the first power switch Q1 is recovered to the protection state, the power management chip of the domain controller controls the first power switch Q1 to be turned on first, and controls the second power switch Q2 to be turned off after receiving the signals that the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2 are both turned on.

Specifically, control strategy 2: during normal work, Q1 is closed, Q2 disconnection, and two intelligent MOS pipes feed back the switching state to PM (power management) chip through communication signal, and the domain controller is got the electricity from power 1 completely this moment.

When the protection state is entered (including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent or Q1 overtemperature of the power supply 1), the intelligent MOS tube Q1 provides a hard-line signal to be transmitted to the intelligent MOS tube Q2, the Q2 is closed after receiving the signal, at the moment, the Q1 and the Q2 are both closed, the power supplies on the two sides can supply power, and the capacitor C or the voltage stabilizing tube VT plays a role in voltage stabilizing protection.

The two intelligent MOS tubes feed back the switching state to a PM (Power management) chip through communication signals, after the PM (Power management) chip of the domain controller receives communication signals that Q1 and Q2 are both closed, the communication signals are output to control Q1 to be disconnected and maintain Q2 to be closed, and after the intelligent MOS tube Q1 is disconnected, the state is fed back to the PM chip through the communication signals.

If power supply 1 or Q1 recovers from the protection state, the PM chip controls Q1 to close first, and controls Q2 to open after receiving the communication signal that both Q1 and Q2 are closed according to a similar logic.

In the strategy, because a time period for conducting the double tube exists, and the capacitor and the voltage regulator tube are selected to be capable of completing the protection of the power supply system and the maintenance of the power supply of the controller in the time period so as to prevent a dangerous state, the selection needs to be carried out by combining internal parasitic parameters such as source side inductive reactance of Q1 and Q2. Because there is a time period for the double-tube conduction, the load of the domain controller needs to be additionally increased from the design and physical aspects to prevent the occurrence of a short circuit to the ground, so as to prevent the failure of the double power supplies, and increase the cost in this aspect.

Based on any of the above embodiments, the determining that the third control strategy drives the driving controller to control the states of the first power switch Q1 and the second power switch Q2 respectively includes:

when the domain controller works normally, the state that the first power switch tube Q1 and the second power switch tube Q2 are both closed is fed back to a power management chip of the domain controller, the first power supply and the second power supply are connected in parallel, and a power supply is selected according to the voltage difference to supply power to the domain controller;

when the first power supply side of the dual-power controller is in a protection mode, the first power supply switch tube Q1 is automatically protected and cut off, and the states of the second power supply switch tube Q2 being closed and the first power supply switch tube Q1 being opened are fed back to the power supply management chip of the domain controller;

when the first power supply or the first power switch Q1 is in a protection state, the power management chip of the domain controller controls the first power switch Q1 to be closed, and feeds back the closed state of the first power switch Q1 to the power management chip of the domain controller;

when the second power supply side of the dual-power controller is in a protection mode, the second power supply switching tube Q2 is automatically protected and cut off, and the states of the first power supply switching tube Q1 being closed and the second power supply switching tube Q2 being opened are fed back to the power supply management chip of the domain controller;

when the second power supply or the second power switch Q2 is in the protection state, the power management chip of the domain controller controls the second power switch Q2 to be closed again, and feeds back the closed state of the second power switch Q2 to the power management chip of the domain controller.

Specifically, control strategy 3: during normal work, Q1 and Q2 are all closed, and two intelligence MOS pipes feed back the switching state to PM (power management) chip through communication signal, and power 1 and power 2 are parallelly connected this moment, and the domain controller is got the electricity according to input voltage.

When the side of the power supply 1 enters a protection state (comprising overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent or over-temperature Q1 of the power supply 1), the intelligent MOS tube Q1 is self-protected and cut off, at the moment, Q2 is closed, Q1 is disconnected, the power supply 1 supplies power independently, and the two intelligent MOS tubes feed the switching state back to a PM (power management) chip through communication signals.

If the power supply 1 or the Q1 is recovered from the protection state, the PM chip controls the Q1 to recover the closing, and the communication signal is fed back to the PM chip after the closing.

When the side of the power supply 2 enters a protection state (comprising overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent or Q2 overtemperature of the power supply 2), the intelligent MOS tube Q2 is self-protected and cut off, at the moment, Q1 is closed, Q2 is disconnected, the power supply 2 supplies power independently, and the two intelligent MOS tubes feed the switching state back to a PM (power management) chip through communication signals.

If the power supply 2 or the Q2 is recovered from the protection state, the PM chip controls the Q2 to recover the closing, and the closing is fed back to the PM chip through a communication signal.

In the strategy, because the original states of Q1 and Q2 are both closed, the power supply 1 and the power supply 2 are connected in parallel, the power supply of the domain controller only takes power from a high-voltage side, the power consumption source cannot be controlled, and if the voltages of the power supply 1 and the power supply 2 are very close to each other, the risk of current oscillation is increased.

Therefore, the third control strategy is more suitable for the situation that the power supply voltages on the two sides have a certain voltage difference, for example, when the power supply 1 is a generator and a storage battery 1, and the power supply 2 is a storage battery 2, the voltage of the generator is higher than that of the storage battery, so that the two sides have a certain voltage difference. If the supply voltages on both sides are close, for example, if the power supply 2 is a super capacitor, or if the power supply 1 and the power supply 2 each include a generator and the output voltages are the same, the risk of current oscillation increases.

Based on any one of the above embodiments, the analog voltage signal is used for feeding back the on-off state of the dual power controller to the MOS drive controller of the domain controller in real time; wherein the on-off state comprises a closed state and a protection cut-off state.

Specifically, an analog voltage signal feeds back the on-off state of a dual power supply controller (DCDC), a state of 1 indicates a closed state, and a state of 0 indicates a protection cut-off state.

Based on any embodiment, the communication signal is used for feeding back the on or off state and the protection mode of the dual power controller to the MOS drive controller of the domain controller; the protection modes comprise a first power supply overvoltage or undervoltage, a second power supply overvoltage or undervoltage and a dual-power-supply controller overcurrent or overtemperature.

Specifically, a communication signal is fed back to a domain controller by a dual power controller (DCDC), and the on/off state, the protection mode and the like of the dual power controller are provided, and the dual power controller generally has the protection modes of overvoltage or undervoltage on one side of a power supply 1, overvoltage or undervoltage on a power supply 2, overcurrent or overtemperature of the controller and the like.

The embodiment of the invention can reduce the possibility of common cause failure by using the two different types of signals.

The embodiment of the invention provides an automatic driving dual-power supply control method, as shown in fig. 4, the method comprises the following steps:

step 410, mounting a dual-power supply control system comprising a first power supply, a second power supply, a dual-power controller and a domain controller on an automatic driving vehicle; wherein the domain controller comprises a driving controller, a switching tube Q1 of a first power supply and a switching tube Q2 of a second power supply;

step 420, the dual power controller sends a control state signal to the driving controller;

and 430, respectively controlling the states of a switching tube Q1 of the first power supply and a switching tube Q2 of the second power supply by the driving controller based on a preset control strategy so as to control the power supply of the first power supply and the second power supply to the domain controller.

In summary, the power supply control architecture with dual power input according to the present invention, aiming at the defects existing in the existing architecture, realizes the following functions:

1. the two paths of power supply inputs are controlled by using a switching tube (such as an MOSFET), and are both actively controlled, and different active control strategies can be selected according to actual conditions, so that the controllability and the control state selection are more complete.

2. The single-tube conduction of one side of the power supply 1 can be independently controlled to realize the single-path power supply of the power supply of one side of the power supply 1, and the single-tube conduction of one side of the power supply 2 can be independently controlled to realize the single-path power supply of the power supply of one side of the power supply 2. Compare in the diode and can only keep apart under-voltage fault, the control mode of two switch tubes can effectively keep apart the excessive pressure and the under-voltage fault of the other side power supply, prevents that equipment from appearing dormancy or danger because of overvoltage status.

3. Can control double-barrelled disconnection and realize the dual-circuit power supply and turn-off to require the equipment to articulate the occasion on car ordinary electricity (battery supply) because of OTA or other reasons, do not increase switch or relay and can effectively carry out power supply control, after automobile engine closed, both can realize the inside partial outage of equipment, reduce quiescent current by a wide margin, can be directed against the effective power supply of other parts of equipment again, satisfy OTA or other functional requirements. This situation is more applicable to complex controllers such as autonomous domain controllers, which are devices with high power and quiescent current, complex functions, and high integration.

4. The position of double-barrelled output side butt joint has used a electric capacity, both can realize the power supply in short-term when the power supply switches and continue the effect, ensures that the switching in-process power supply is continuous, and the dormancy of delay equipment can play instantaneous steady voltage effect again when overvoltage or undervoltage appear, prevents that equipment from appearing dormancy or danger because of overvoltage or undervoltage.

5. A voltage stabilizing diode can be used at the butt joint position of the output sides of the two pipes as required, so that a continuous voltage stabilizing effect is achieved, and the equipment is prevented from being dormant or dangerous due to overvoltage or undervoltage.

6. The double-power-source bilateral control structure uses an analog voltage signal and a group of communication signals which are sent by a hard wire in real time, receives a controller state signal between double power sources and controls the on-off of double pipes, thereby effectively avoiding common cause failure and avoiding cost increase caused by excessive use of the hard wire as much as possible.
