Embodiment
(first embodiment)
Fig. 1 is the basic block diagram that comprises the circuit of monitoring voltage device in the first embodiment of the invention.Equivalent circuit figure when Fig. 2 is the input terminal short circuit of monitoring voltage device in the present embodiment.
Primary power 1 is made of battery or generator, and is connected to charging circuit 2.Charging circuit 2 control charging voltages and charging current are setting.Charging circuit 2 obtains charging beginning or halt instruction from control part 3.Control part 3 as described later, when control monitoring voltage device is all, communicate by letter with upper control part 4 and the beginning that determines to charge, is stopped.
First fen splenium promptly, divides the structure of splenium 5A to be: with Reserve Power Division 6, be applied to the tie point voltage V1 of the tie point between capacitor C 1 and the capacitor C 2, to carry out dividing potential drop by a plurality of resistance R 1, R2.Double layer capacitor C1~Cn in the Reserve Power Division 6 (n is the number of electric capacity) is connected in series.First input end promptly, is transfused to the branch pressure voltage of branch splenium 5A on the input terminal IN1.Second fen splenium promptly, divides splenium 5B, with the voltage of charging circuit 2 sides of capacitor C 2 by a plurality of resistance R 3, R4 dividing potential drop.Second input terminal adjacent with input terminal IN1 promptly, is transfused to the branch pressure voltage of branch splenium 5B on the input terminal IN2.Below identical, on each capacitor C 3~Cn, be provided with respectively the voltage of charging circuit 2 sides of each electric capacity branch splenium by a plurality of electric resistance partial pressures.Reserve Power Division 6 is charged to assigned voltage by charging circuit 2.
The signal of change-over switch 7 any from control part 3 reception selector switch SW1~SWn+1.Then, among a plurality of input terminal IN1~INn+1, will (x selects signal, and the voltage of 1≤x≤n+1) as the output of change-over switch 7, outputs to control part 3 corresponding to this input terminal INx that selects signal.
Monitoring unit 8 has: comprise a plurality of minutes spleniums, input terminal IN1~IN+1, change-over switch 7 and the temperature detecting part 9 of branch splenium 5A, 5B, the voltage when monitoring charging on the tie point of the terminal of the different double layer capacitor Cx of voltage and the environment temperature of Reserve Power Division 6.
The temperature detecting part 9 of output environment temperature by resistance R 7 and thermistor TH1 dividing potential drop, is exported with voltage between the two reference voltage V ref as temperature output.The output of this temperature by the operational amplifier OP1 as voltage buffer, and is connected to one input terminal IN3 in a plurality of input terminals.
Control part 3 is tried to achieve environment temperature by aforementioned temperature output, and control its switch 7.In addition, control part 3 also monitors the charged state of Reserve Power Division 6.Further, try to achieve the voltage that applies of each capacitor C 1~Cn by the voltage of each input terminal IN1~INn+1, if unusual, then by to the communication of upper control part 4 and transmission information.That is, control part 3 is based on the output of change-over switch 7, and try to achieve capacitor C 1~Cn two ends respectively apply voltage.If necessary, send the charging halt instruction to charging circuit 2.And, store the resistance ratio of each minute splenium use.
Next, the action of the monitoring voltage device with this spline structure is described.When charging circuit 2 when control part 3 receives the instruction of charging beginning, Reserve Power Division 6 is applied the regulation charging voltage, make Reserve Power Division 6 chargings.At this moment, to applying under the voltage condition with higher of each capacitor C 1~Cn, perhaps under the ambient temperature condition with higher, electric capacity and internal resistance will deteriorations.Therefore, control part 3 monitors that each capacitor C 1~Cn's applies voltage and environment temperature.Obviously surpass setting or environment temperature obviously above so unusual generation of setting if apply voltage, control part 3 is just controlled charging circuit 2, stops charging.According to circumstances, make Reserve Power Division 6 discharges.Like this, control part 3 has alleviated the overload to capacitor C 1~Cn.Yet, though not shown, be provided for the fan of air blast cooling or be used for the cooling water circulation loop and the pump of water-cooled, control part 3 controls they, environment temperature is descended to alleviate overload, this also is fine.
If Reserve Power Division 6 is charged normal, the 2 indication chargings of 3 pairs of charging circuits of control part stop.Change-over switch 7 orders exported the selection signal of selecting which input terminal INxs thereafter.Like this, control part 3 reads from the output of change-over switch 7, and tie point voltage V1~Vn of each capacitor C 1~Cn is at each minute branch pressure voltage VM1~VMn of being obtained by dividing potential drop of splenium.
Control part 3 is estimated the voltage that applies of each actual capacitor C 1~Cn based on each the branch pressure voltage VM1~VMn that is read.Particularly, each minute the inverse of intrinsic standoff ratio of splenium multiply by each branch pressure voltage VM1~VMn, try to achieve tie point voltage V1~Vn.Afterwards, in the tie point voltage V1~Vn that tries to achieve, calculate the difference Vx+1-Vx of adjacent tie point voltage, thus, control part 3 estimates the voltage that is applied to each capacitor C 1~Cn two ends.
For example, as shown in Figure 1, utilizing first electric capacity is tie point voltage V1 between capacitor C 1 and the capacitor C 2, and the tie point voltage V2 of charging circuit 2 sides of capacitor C 2, and control part 3 calculates V2-V1, estimates second electric capacity thus, and promptly capacitor C 2 applies voltage.The back will describe this computing in detail.
Next, the detection method of environment temperature is described.Certain reference voltage V ref is used as the resistance R 7 of first resistance and is inversely proportional to temperature and changes the thermistor TH1 dividing potential drop of resistance value.That is, resistance R 7 and thermistor TH1 form the 3rd fen splenium 5C with reference voltage V ref dividing potential drop.Branch pressure voltage (temperature output) VMt by resistance R 7 and thermistor TH1 obtain is connected with the input terminal IN3 of change-over switch 7 by operational amplifier OP1.So control part 3 utilizes the selection signal of input terminal and selects input terminal IN3, read in the temperature output VMt that is used for accounting temperature thus.
Utilize the various voltages obtain like this, what control part 3 was tried to achieve each capacitor C 1~Cn applies voltage and environment temperature.Each applies in the estimated value of voltage and environment temperature, and any is during the situation in the defined threshold scope, by communication output and send unusual to upper control part 4.Each capacitor C 1~Cn applies voltage and environment temperature under the situation in threshold range, and control part 3 continues to monitor in each stipulated time and applies voltage and environment temperature.
Among Fig. 1, the voltage that applies that is applied to capacitor C 2 two ends is V2-V1.Therefore, at first, control part 3 is connected switch SW 1, reads in the branch pressure voltage VM1=V1 * R2/ (R1+R2) of voltage V1 behind electric resistance partial pressure.
Then, behind the control part 3 cut-off switch SW1, connect switch SW 2, read in the branch pressure voltage VM2=V2 * R4/ (R3+R4) of voltage V2 behind electric resistance partial pressure.
Control part 3 afterwards, carries out subtraction process with the inverse that VM1, the VM2 that reads in multiply by the intrinsic standoff ratio of each minute splenium 5A, 5B.Particularly, control part 3 is tried to achieve the value of V2-V1 by following (1) formula, that is, the C2 two ends apply voltage.
Next, specify fault detection method under the situation that adjacent input terminal IN1~INn+1 is short-circuited.As example, situation about being short-circuited between input terminal IN1, the IN2 is described with Fig. 2.Under this state, no matter be under the situation of control part 3 selector switch SW1, still under the situation of selector switch SW2, control part 3 all reads in the resultant voltage value Va of VM1 shown in Figure 2 and VM2.This resultant voltage value Va can represent with (2) formula, in addition // and expression combined resistance value in parallel.
Therefore, 3 that try to achieve by control part, as magnitude of voltage the V2 '-V1 ' that applies voltage at capacitor C 2 two ends, can represent with following (3) formula.
At this, set the value of R1~R4, make VM1=VM2 be false.That is, set resistance value R3, R4, make: under capacitor C 1 situation identical, at the different branch pressure voltage of branch pressure voltage of minute splenium 5B output with branch splenium 5A with capacitor C 2 electric capacitys.Below identical, the resistance value of each minute splenium is set at, make adjacent input terminal INn different with VMn-1 with branch pressure voltage VMn on the INn-1.
And each resistance value R1~R4 is set at predetermined value, and make: when being short-circuited between input terminal IN1, the IN2, the output of change-over switch 7 becomes abnormal voltage, and control part 3 calculates and the visibly different abnormal voltage V1 ' of normal value V1-V2-V2 '.That is, when input terminal IN1, IN2 short circuit, preestablish the resistance value R1~R4 that carries out electric resistance partial pressure, make to detect voltage transition for compare with branch pressure voltage VM1, VM2 under the situation about charging normal, obvious greater or lesser voltage.
When like this setting each resistance, by (2) formula, (3) formula, V2 '-V1 ' that control part 3 is tried to achieve when input terminal IN1 and IN2 are short-circuited fault is the value that is different from the normal value V2-V1 when not having short circuit, that is, and and abnormal voltage.
Afterwards, at V2-V1 and V2 '-V1 ' intermediate settings voltage threshold Vth, make V2 '-V1 '>Vth>V2-V1 or V2 '-V1 '<Vth<V2-V1 set up.Under the situation of last inequality, can judge:, be normal if Vx+1-Vx does not reach Vth arbitrarily; Surpassing Vth then is short trouble.On the other hand, under the situation of back one inequality, can judge:, then be normal if Vx+1-Vx is greater than Vth arbitrarily; If smaller or equal to Vth, then be short trouble.Thus, control part 3, the capacitor C 1 of trying to achieve according to the abnormal voltage of change-over switch 7 output, C2 two ends respectively apply voltage, judge short circuit between input terminal IN1, the IN2.
V2-V1 is the value of trying to achieve as capacitor C 2 both end voltage.On the other hand, the roughly voltage of each electric capacity can estimate like this: distribute the voltage of the integral body of Reserve Power Division 6 pro rata with the inverse of the static capacity of each electric capacity.Therefore, can both consider the standard deviation of the static capacity of electric capacity, also can determine the normal voltage scope of the voltage of each electric capacity.Can be with the bound of this voltage range as threshold value.
Usually, the upper capacitance voltage Vn of series connection is being cut apart the voltage that obtains, is being no more than in the scope of the upper limit of A/D conversion portion of the microcomputer that constitutes control part 3, each minute the resistance ratio of division of splenium be set to identical.And, if branch pressure voltage VMn-1 is connected with the adjacent input terminal of change-over switch 7 with VMn, just can detect the short circuit between the adjacent input of switch 7 at an easy rate.This is that if the ratio of division in (1) formula is identical, V2-V1 just is 0 because the value of VM1 and VM2 is identical during short circuit.But, because the A/D conversion portion of microcomputer has withstand voltage higher limit, the resistance ratio of division is set at when meeting high-voltage side, diminish near the branch pressure voltage VM1 of the capacitor C 1 of ground connection (GND) current potential.Therefore, the A/D value that reads of microcomputer is subject to the influence of external disturbance.The serial number n of double layer capacitor is big more, and such phenomenon is obvious more.And, if the value about the voltage ratio 0.3V of A/D terminal is low, just increase sharply from the leakage current of A/D terminal.So, just increase from the error that reads of A/D terminal.
Therefore, the branch pressure voltage VM1 of capacitor C 1 is preferably in the upper range of A/D conversion portion of microcomputer big as far as possible.For this reason, resistance ratio of division (the R1+R2)/R2 corresponding with capacitor C 1 and with the corresponding resistance ratio of division of capacitor C 2 (R3+R4)/R4 etc. preferably sets smallerly.
On the other hand, for than capacitor C 3 connected electric capacity on the position of ground connection side, be necessary to be set at the resistance ratio of division big and to be no more than the upper limit of the A/D conversion portion of microcomputer.Thus, make the resistance ratio of division difference of each minute splenium, can improve the mensuration precision of branch pressure voltage.Yet Just because of this, existing method can't detect the short circuit between the input terminal.
In the present embodiment, so that set the resistance value of each minute splenium in the branch pressure voltage VMn of adjacent input terminal INn and the INn-1 mode different with VMn-1.So control part 3 surpasses or during less than defined threshold, judges between the input terminal short circuit has taken place in each electric capacity both end voltage.By said structure and action, can detect the short circuit between the input terminal of change-over switch 7 reliably.In this structure, because branch pressure voltage output can be connected to whole input terminals, so can effectively utilize input terminal.
At this, the concrete example of setting resistance value and resistance ratio of division is described.Among Fig. 1, the serial number n of double layer capacitor is 6, and the full charging voltage between C1~C6 is 12V.In the case, the both end voltage of each electric capacity is respectively 2V.In order to obtain high-precision voltage, the upper voltage limit of the A/D conversion portion of microcomputer is 2.5V in addition.
At first, higher for the value that makes VM1, to be reduced in the charging process influence, among the branch splenium 5A corresponding to capacitor C 1, make R1=866 Ω, R2=866 Ω to the various interference of computing.Ratio of division is (R1+R2)/(R2)=2.When not having short circuit between the input of change-over switch 7 but normal the time, the voltage VM1 of input terminal IN1 is 1V, computing voltage V1 is 2V.
On the other hand, among the branch splenium 5B corresponding to capacitor C 2, make R3=4330 Ω, R4=866 Ω.Ratio of division is (R3+R4)/(R4)=6.When not having short circuit between the input of change-over switch 7 but normal the time, the voltage VM2 of input terminal IN2 is 0.67V, computing voltage V2 is 4V.That is, V2-V1=2V, VM2 are the value different with VM1.
With respect to this, the abnormal voltage Va when being short-circuited between the input terminal IN1 of change-over switch and the IN2 obtains Va=0.875V by (2) formula.Therefore, V2 '-V1 '=5.25-1.75=3.25V.
Thus, for example, be the intermediate value 2.625V of V2-V1 and V2 '-V1 ' if Vth is set to, control part 3 can detect the short circuit between input terminal IN1 and the IN2.Can between V2-V1 and V2 '-V1 ', suitably set Vth.For example, if the electric capacity standard deviation of capacitor C 1~C6 estimates it is 10%, setting the limit threshold value is 1.8V, is lower than under the situation of this threshold value to be judged to be short circuit.And establishing upper limit threshold is 2.2V, is higher than under the situation of this threshold value to be judged to be short circuit.
In addition, set the resistance ratio of division of dividing splenium 5A, make that the value of VM1 is more than the 0.3V, therefore the influence that can suppress to disturb like this, just can set aforementioned value resistance ratio of division in addition.And, in the above stated specification,, also can under lower charged state, judge though be that the voltage of expiring under the situations of charging with Reserve Power Division 6 is the explanation that example is carried out.
(second embodiment)
Fig. 3 is the basic block diagram that comprises the circuit of monitoring voltage device in the second embodiment of the invention.Fig. 4 is connected between the input terminal of exporting with the input terminal of the branch pressure voltage output of the branch splenium of monitoring voltage device and the temperature that is connected in temperature detecting part the equivalent circuit figure during short circuit.Fig. 5 A~Fig. 5 C is time-varying characteristics (time-varyingcharacteristic) figure of the charging voltage of same monitoring voltage device: Fig. 5 A is the time-varying characteristics figure of the voltage of electric capacity tie point just often.Fig. 5 B is under the state of branch pressure voltage of branch splenium of the electric capacity of the temperature output voltage at temperature detecting part when being higher than full charging, the time-varying characteristics figure of the voltage of the electric capacity tie point during the input terminal short circuit.Under the state of the branch pressure voltage of the branch splenium of the electric capacity when the temperature output voltage that Fig. 5 C is illustrated in temperature detecting part is lower than full charging, the time-varying characteristics figure of the voltage of the electric capacity tie point during the input terminal short circuit.
Monitoring voltage device shown in Figure 3, inequality with the position of the input terminal of the temperature output VMt of temperature detecting part 9 in the structure of first embodiment shown in Figure 1.That is, the temperature of temperature detecting part 9 output VMt is connected to input terminal IN2, divides the branch pressure voltage VM2 of splenium 5B to be connected to input terminal IN3.In the case, input terminal IN3 is second terminal that is transfused to branch pressure voltage VM2, and input terminal IN2 is the 3rd terminal that is transfused to temperature output VMt.In addition, identical with the first embodiment structure, the same structure parts are used same tag, therefore omit detailed explanation.
The characteristics of present embodiment are: the input terminal IN2 that receives the temperature output VMt of temperature detecting part 9, with, receive to divide the branch pressure voltage VM1 of splenium 5A or receive the input terminal IN1 of the branch pressure voltage VM2 that divides splenium 5B or IN3 between detection method during short circuit.
Described in first embodiment, short circuit between the input terminal of the change-over switch that applies voltage 7 at supervision capacitor C 1~Cn two ends, can solve by such method: preestablish may detect short circuit each minute splenium resistance value, and the voltage threshold Vth of the fault verification in control part 3.Yet one of the resistance that is used for dividing potential drop in the temperature detecting part 9 is thermistor TH1, and its resistance value changes with temperature, and therefore can't preestablish can be as the resistance value of fault verification.The following describes its reason.
Making Vref is 5V, and the temperature range that is used to revise the temperature characterisitic of electric capacity is from-40 ℃ to+25 ℃.And making R7 is 200k Ω.The resistance value of thermistor TH1 under 25 ℃ is that 10k Ω, temperature characterisitic B constant are under 3400 the situation, and the temperature dependency of VMt is and changes like the exponential function shown in the table 1.

As shown in table 1, VMt varies with temperature, and has comprised branch pressure voltage VM1 among Fig. 1 and the value of VM2, therefore, can't detect the short circuit between IN2 and the terminals of adjacent thereof, i.e. short circuit between short circuit between IN2 and the IN1 or IN2 and the IN3.
At this, as shown in Figure 3, the thermistor TH1 of resistance R 7 and series connection with it carries out dividing potential drop to reference voltage V ref, has inserted operational amplifier OP1 as voltage buffer between the input terminal IN2 of this branch pressure voltage (temperature output) and change-over switch 7.Utilize this voltage buffer, even under the situation of short circuit between input terminal IN2 and adjacent input terminal IN1 or the IN3, control part 3 also can detect such fault easily.
Below specify this detection method.At first, with Fig. 5 A explanation, there is not short circuit between input terminal IN2 and IN1 or the IN3 and situation about charging normal.Voltage VM1, the VM3 of input terminal IN1, IN3, the track of edge change in voltage just often rises to till the full charging, and corresponding with it, V1, V2 rise shown in Fig. 5 A.
In contrast, the input terminal IN1 of change-over switch 7, IN2 short circuit, the situation during VMt>VM1 is illustrated with Fig. 5 B.As shown in Figure 4, under the situation of input terminal IN1, IN2 short circuit, the value of being cut apart the branch pressure voltage VM1=V1 * R2/ (R1+R2) that obtains by resistance with V1 just often has nothing to do, and VM1 is fixed to as the output voltage values of the operational amplifier OP1 of voltage buffer (output of=temperature) VMt=Vref * TH1/ (R7+TH1).Particularly, in Reserve Power Division 6 from the 0V at charging beginning initial stage till the full charging voltage of regulation, charging rapidly, under the situation of charging control, suppose the duration of charging in 0 to T short time range, the variation of environment temperature is very little.So voltage VM1, the VMt of input terminal IN1, IN2 are fixed to definite value.So V1 is fixed on the higher value shown in Fig. 5 B.
For this reason, V2-V1 applies voltage, that is, capacitor C 2 two ends apply voltage from the negative voltage at charging initial stage, before full charging, are positive voltage from the negative voltage contravariant.When reaching full charging, capacitor C 2 two ends apply voltage V2-V1 and are detected as unusual little voltage.On the other hand, capacitor C 1 two ends apply voltage V1 and are detected as unusual big voltage.
On the other hand, if when the output of the temperature during short circuit VMt is the situation of the value also littler than the full charging voltage V1 of capacitor C 1, then shown in Fig. 5 C.In other words, control part 3 calculates capacitor C 2 two ends and applies voltage V2-V1 and be unusual big voltage.
Like this, be short-circuited if relate to the part of the temperature output VMt of temperature detecting part 9, the voltage table that applies of capacitor C 1, C2 reveals abnormal operation.Utilize this action, control part 3 detect reduce in the charging apply voltage, charging initial stage electric capacity negative apply voltage or the excessive such abnormal voltage of voltage that applies when completely charging.Based on this testing result, control part 3 detects the input terminal IN2 of temperature output of temperature detecting part 9 and the input terminal IN1 short circuit of adjacent branch pressure voltage.In other words, calculate according to abnormal voltage that cause, input terminal IN1 in the short circuit between input terminal IN2 and input terminal IN1, capacitor C 1, C2 two ends respectively apply voltage, control part 3 is judged short circuit between input terminal IN1, the IN2.
At this moment, set defined threshold respectively, whether charge normal by whether outside threshold value, distinguishing corresponding to each abnormal voltage.In other words, as described above, utilize under the situation about judging the applying voltage of electric capacity two ends of fully charged state, identical with first embodiment, can consider the electric capacity standard deviation of capacitor C 1~C6 and setting threshold.If estimate that the standard deviation of electric capacity is 10%, can make lower threshold is 1.8V, is lower than under this situation to be judged to be short circuit.And also can make upper limit threshold is 2.2V, is higher than under this situation to be judged to be short circuit.Like this, be short-circuited, also can detect easily even comprise the part of the output of temperature detecting part 9.
Under the situation of short circuit between input terminal IN2 and the IN3, divide the branch pressure voltage VM2 of splenium 5B to be fixed to temperature output voltage V Mt.When this situation, equally when being short-circuited between input terminal IN1 and the IN2 also can be detected.In the case, not C1, C2 as the electric capacity of abnormality detection object, but C2, C3.
Utilize said structure, action,, also can carry out short-circuit detecting with simple structure even be short-circuited in the part of the temperature output that comprises temperature detecting part 9.In addition in this structure, because also can connect whole input terminals, so can make full use of input terminal.
In addition, although this short circuit of sentencing between input terminal IN1 or the IN3 is that example is illustrated,, when for example the input terminal of temperature output is the situation of other positions such as input terminal IN4, can detect the short circuit between other input terminals equally.
(the 3rd embodiment)
Fig. 6 is the schematic circuit diagram of temperature detecting part of the monitoring voltage device of third embodiment of the invention.Fig. 7 is the input terminal that is connected to the branch pressure voltage output of the branch splenium of monitoring voltage device, with, when being connected between the input terminal of temperature output of temperature detecting part short circuit, branch pressure voltage is exported the partial circuit figure when selected.
The difference of present embodiment and second embodiment shown in Figure 3 is to use the temperature detecting part 9A of circuit structure shown in Figure 6.In addition structure, roughly the same with the structure of second embodiment, same structure member uses same mark, and omits detailed explanation, and different part explanations is described.
In second embodiment, branch pressure voltage (temperature output) VMt of resistance R 7 and thermistor TH1 is imported into the voltage buffer that operational amplifier OP1 constitutes.Corresponding therewith, in the present embodiment, be transfused to the input terminal IN2 of temperature output VMt, by being connected to set voltage by the switch SW of external control.That is, reference voltage V ref is carried out the resistance R 7 of conduct first resistance of dividing potential drop and thermistor TH1 and constituted branch splenium 5C, divide branch pressure voltage (temperature output) VMt of splenium 5C to be connected to switch SW as the 3rd fen splenium.When switch SW was connected, the tie point between resistance R 7 and the thermistor TH1 was connected to set voltage.In addition, in the present embodiment, making set voltage is ground connection.And switch SW is by control part 3 gauge tap.
Next the action of explanation temperature detecting part 9A just often.Among Fig. 7, do not have short circuit but just often, when change-over switch 7 was selected input terminal except the input terminal IN2 of the temperature output VMt that is connected to temperature detecting part 9A, control part 3 was connected switch SW.Thus, during except temperature detection, input terminal IN2 is a ground connection by the Pliers position usually.
When detected temperatures, control part 3 is selected signal to change-over switch 7 outputs, to select to be connected to the input terminal IN2 of temperature output VMt.At this moment, 3 while of control part cut-off switch SW.Thus, temperature output VMt disconnects from ground connection, and the voltage of input terminal IN2 is temperature output VMt, and control part 3 just can calculate temperature.Then, control part 3 is connected switch SW after trying to achieve the environment temperature of Reserve Power Division.As above gauge tap SW, thus, switch SW only just disconnects when reading temperature output VMt, and the time in addition all connects.
Then, the input terminal IN2 as input shrinkage temperature output VMt is described, and when being connected between the input terminal IN1 of branch pressure voltage VM1 of branch splenium 5A short circuit, detects the method for short circuit.As shown in Figure 7, under the state of input terminal IN1 and IN2 short circuit, change-over switch 7 is selected input terminal IN1.In the case, because switch SW is connected, therefore, divide the branch pressure voltage VM1 of splenium 5A to be grounded.Thereby the voltage of input terminal IN1 is earthing potential.Because input terminal IN1 is the earthing potential of set voltage, control part 3 can detect the short circuit between input terminal IN1 and IN2.
Like this, if detect input terminal IN1, IN2 short circuit has taken place, the temperature that control part 3 is looked the input terminal IN2 that next change-over switch 7 select is output as unusually, does not carry out the temperature computation action.And, control part 3 with the information of such expression short circuit, can not normally obtain the upper control part 4 of information untill further notice of temperature, simultaneously, as required, carry out sending the action of charging halt instruction etc. to charging circuit 2.
As mentioned above, if input terminal IN2 between adjacent input terminal IN1 with it or the input terminal IN3 short circuit has taken place, when change-over switch 7 had been selected input terminal IN1 or input terminal IN3, voltage was set voltage.Therefore, whether the voltage by input terminal IN1 or input terminal IN3 is the so simple judgment standard of set voltage, just can detect whether short circuit has taken place.And by using the represented temperature detecting part 9A of circuit structure among Fig. 6, comparing with second embodiment does not need operational amplifier OP1, and circuit structure can be simpler, and cost is lower.Utilize above structure, action,, and be used to calculate under the situation about being short-circuited between the branch pressure voltage of terminal voltage of electric capacity, also can carry out short-circuit detecting with simpler structure even in the output of the temperature of temperature detecting part 9A.
In addition, the method for detecting short circuit that does not comprise between the input terminal of temperature output is identical with first embodiment.And in this structure, all input terminal also can both connect, so can effectively utilize input terminal.
In addition, though in first embodiment~the 3rd embodiment, a plurality of double layer capacitors all are connected in series, and corresponding to the power specification of Reserve Power Division 6, this also can adopt connection in series-parallel to connect.Fig. 8 A~Fig. 8 C is the partial circuit figure under the situation of connection in series-parallel double layer capacitor.Fig. 8 A is the partial circuit figure of the double layer capacitor parallel connection that will be connected in series; Fig. 8 B is the partial circuit figure under the situation of double layer capacitor series connection that will be connected in parallel; Fig. 8 C is that the double layer capacitor of parallel connection and single double layer capacitor is combined and partial circuit figure under the situation about being connected in series.
Shown in Fig. 8 A, in the series parallel structure of the Reserve Power Division 6 that a plurality of double layer capacitors that will connect are connected in parallel, monitoring unit 8 and identical the getting final product of Reserve Power Division 6 numbers.Shown in Fig. 8 B, in the series parallel structure of the Reserve Power Division 6 that a plurality of double layer capacitors with parallel connection are connected in series, perhaps, the double layer capacitor of parallel connection and single double layer capacitor is combined and in the series parallel structure that is connected in series shown in Fig. 8 C, monitoring unit 8 connects in the mode of the voltage of the tie point of the terminal that monitors the double layer capacitor that when charging voltage is different and gets final product.That is, even in the Reserve Power Division 6 of capacitor C 1 and the structure of connecting with capacitor C 2 again as capacitor C 3 parallel connections of the 3rd electric capacity, the present invention also can be suitable for.And, capacitor C 2 capacitor C 3 that is connected in parallel is also passable.In addition, the number of shunt capacitance is unrestricted.
In first embodiment to the, three embodiments, the big double layer capacitor of electricity capacity is as electric capacity, but is not limited to this.But double layer capacitor is easily because environment temperature causes the decline of electric capacity with keeping voltage.Therefore, present embodiment monitoring voltage device is particularly useful to the electrical storage device that uses double layer capacitor.
