The switch circuit board may convert signals on one circuit board to signals on another circuit board. The patch circuit boards are commonly used to connect different types of circuit boards or to connect the circuit boards to computers or other devices. The switching circuit board is used for reforming and carding the cell signals, and converting the cell signals into the connector arrangement sequence of the CMU. The design combination does not need to redesign a complex CMU circuit board, and only needs to redesign a conversion circuit board. Under the condition that a development designer only develops one CMU, the multi-string number and multi-arrangement scheme of the battery cells can be met, development and test expenses are saved, development and verification time is shortened, and development requirements can be responded more quickly.

The CMU is designed to take into account the highest sampling channel that may be subsequently applied, and recommends that the sampling channel of the AFE be as full as possible. The CMU is composed of an AFE chip and peripheral circuitry. The AFE chip is one of key chips in the collector and is responsible for converting an analog signal into a digital signal so as to facilitate subsequent processing. The peripheral circuit may include various passive components and active components, such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, etc., for supporting the operation of the AFE chip, and may also perform certain processing and filtering on the signal. Thus, the CMU in this embodiment is composed of an AFE chip and peripheral circuits.
In one possible implementation manner, when the number of the battery cells is different from the number of the sampling channels of the battery cell monitoring unit, the adapter plate is used for matching the number of the battery cell connecting wires with the number of the sampling channels of the battery cell monitoring unit by adjusting the internal circuit of the adapter circuit board.
The number of cells refers to the number of cells in the battery. The CMU sampling channel number refers to the number of cell sampling channels that the CMU module in the battery management system has.
The application scene is that the number of the battery cells is inconsistent with the number of the CMU sampling channels. In this scenario, the number of battery cells and the number of AFE sampling channels are configured in a matching manner by adjusting the internal circuit of the adapter plate. Connection schematic referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a cell monitoring unit system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, wherein the number of cells is 3, the number of CMU sampling channels is 4, at this time, the number of cells is inconsistent with the number of CMU sampling channels, the number of cells and the number of AFE sampling channels are matched and configured by internal circuit adjustment of an adapter plate, so that reforming and carding of cell signals are realized, and the cell signals are converted into a connector arrangement sequence of CMU adaptation.
In one possible implementation manner, when the outlet wire arrangement sequence of the battery core is not matched with the sampling channel arrangement sequence of the battery core monitoring unit, the adapter plate is used for adjusting the outlet wire arrangement sequence of the battery core, so that the outlet wire arrangement sequence obtained by adjustment is matched with the sampling channel arrangement sequence of the battery core monitoring unit.
The battery cell outgoing line means that the anode and the cathode of the battery cell are connected to the circuit board through the electrode plate and the lead wire on the battery cell shell, so that the electric energy of the battery cell is output. The connection mode of the battery cell outgoing line is two modes of welding and crimping. The welding mode is to connect the lead wire of the battery core to the circuit board in a welding mode, and the crimping mode is to connect the lead wire of the battery core with the socket on the circuit board in a crimping mode. The connection quality of the battery cell outgoing line directly influences the service life and the safety performance of the mobile power supply.
Namely, the arrangement sequence of the battery cell outgoing lines in the application scene cannot be matched with the arrangement sequence of the CMU interfaces. In this scenario, the patch panel sorts and rearranges the outgoing line sequence of the battery cells to match the arrangement sequence of the CMU interfaces. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the cell monitoring unit system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, wherein the number of cells is 4, the number of CMU sampling channels is 4, at this time, the number of cells is consistent with the number of CMU sampling channels, but the arrangement sequence of the cells is from cell 4 to cell 1, the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces is from channel 1 to channel 4, the arrangement sequence of cell outgoing lines cannot be matched with the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces, and the adapter plate sorts and rearranges the wire outgoing sequences of the cells to match the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces, that is, reforming and carding of cell signals are realized, and the cell signals are converted into the arrangement sequence of connectors for CMU adaptation.
In one possible implementation manner, when the number of the electric cores is different from the number of the sampling channels of the electric core monitoring unit, and the outlet wire arrangement sequence of the electric cores is not matched with the sampling channel arrangement sequence of the electric core monitoring unit, the adapter plate is used for adjusting the internal circuit of the adapter circuit board and adjusting the outlet wire arrangement sequence of the electric cores so that the number of the electric core connecting wires is matched with the number of the sampling channels of the electric core monitoring unit, and the outlet wire arrangement sequence obtained by adjustment is matched with the sampling channel arrangement sequence of the electric core monitoring unit.
That is, the number of the battery cells in the application scene and the arrangement sequence of the battery cell wires cannot be matched with the interface of the CMU. In this scenario, the adapter plate not only needs to adjust the number of sampling channels of the battery cells, but also rearranges the outlet sequence of the battery cells to match the arrangement sequence of the CMU interfaces. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a cell monitoring unit system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, wherein the number of cells is 3, the number of CMU sampling channels is 4, at this time, the number of cells is inconsistent with the number of CMU sampling channels, the arrangement sequence of the cells is from cell 3 to cell 1, the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces is from channel 1 to channel 4, the arrangement sequence of cell outgoing lines cannot be matched with the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces, and the adapter plate sorts and rearranges the wire outgoing sequences of the cells to match the arrangement sequence of CMU interfaces, that is, reforming and carding of cell signals are realized, and the cell signals are converted into the arrangement sequence of CMU-adapted connectors.

In one possible implementation, the battery module includes a plurality of parallel or series-connected battery cells.
The number of cells and the number of modules of the battery pack are two important components of the battery pack. The number of the battery cells of the battery pack depends on the design and application of the battery pack, and the battery module is composed of a plurality of battery cells.
