The battery charging apparatus includes a generator, main voltage regulator, an auxiliary voltage regulator, at least one consuming device and a protective circuit having circuit portions for recognizing and signalling faults via a charge control lamp. The generator output voltage is rectified with rectifier bridges containing Zener diodes. Voltage comparison to threshold values and logic circuitry for processing the comparison results are used to determine the presence of faults in the operation of the battery charging apparatus. The fault detection device detects conduction defects in the main voltage regulator and/or interruption in the generator excitation circuit. The logic circuitry determines whether simultaneously both a supplied voltage exceeds a threshold value and the main voltage regulator is turned on longer than a predetermined time interval to indicate its continuous operation. After a fault is detected voltage regulation is performed by the auxiliary voltage regulator until the fault is eliminated so that the rectifier bridges are not destroyed. The battery charging apparatus described is particularly suitable for use in motor vehicles.

The description concerns a voltage regulator (12) for regulating the output voltage (UB+) of an alternator (10) which is driven by an internal combustion engine. The voltage regulator (12) has an additional circuit (24) which evaluates the exciter current duty cycle (T) and supplies a signal (S1) at its output which is high when the exciter current duty cycle is high and low when the exciter current duty cycle is low. The circuit (24) is integrated in the voltage regulator (12) and the output signal (S1) supplied by it is transmitted via an additional regulator terminal (DA) and can be fed to the control device (25) of the internal combustion engine, where it is used, for instance, to increase the idling speed of the engine and accordingly also to increase the alternator speed and thus the power delivered by the alternator (10). It is also possible to switch off unnecessary consumers with this signal.
摘要:
In a device and a method for regulating an alternator increased alternator output is achieved either in that the exciter current can have a value above the nominal exciter current or in that the alternator control parameters are fixed in such a way that overheating could occur under unfavorable circumstances. In order to prevent this overheating even under unfavorable circumstances, the temperature is measured preferably in the regulator and the temperature at critical locations is determined from this temperature while taking into account typical parameters. This can be effected in that the temperature or temperatures which would occur in stationary operation are first determined. When an impermissible temperature is detected, the exciter current is reduced by suitable steps until the allowable maximum temperature is not exceeded.

A generator having an exciting winding and a standard load associated with a standard exciting current in the exciting winding can be controlled by a voltage regulator which adjusts an exciting current in the exciting winding and a temperature measurement device in a predetermined location in the generator and/or a voltage regulator associated with the generator, which is connected to the voltage regulator, advantageously via a microprocessor device or a pulse duration modulation circuit connected to the final regulating stage of the voltage regulator for gating the exciting current. So that the generator can be dimensioned to operate above its maximum rated temperature and can be operated in a superexcited state, the method of controlling the generator includes the steps of increasing the exciting current in the exciting winding beyond the standard exciting current to operate the generator at a higher load than the standard load; measuring a temperature T.sub.G at a predetermined location, advantageously in the generator, with the temperature measurement device; determining an allowed limiting temperature T.sub.GMAX at the predetermined location; lowering the exciting current, I.sub.Err, when the temperature T.sub.G is greater than the allowed limiting temperature T.sub.GMAX and maintaining the output power as high as possible without exceeding the allowed limiting temperature.

摘要:
The apparatus for controlling an output voltage of a generator of an internal combustion engine having a starter device, includes a charge control signaling device, an excitation coil for the generator and a voltage regulator controlling an excitation current in the excitation coil and an excitation current limiting device for limiting the excitation current during a predetermined starting phase (.DELTA.t1 ) connected to the voltage regulator. The excitation current limiting device detects whether the engine is in a starting phase. If the engine is in a starting phase, the excitation current limiting device reduces the excitation current so that a voltage is produce at generator terminal D+ which permits no load current and simultaneously guarantees that the charge control signalling device is shut off. After ending of the starting phase the excitation current limiting device is shut off and the excitation current is increased to its standard value, which results in a generator output voltage which is above the power supply voltage that charges the battery.

A voltage regulator including the controller is also described.
摘要:
A device for voltage regulation for a generator driven by an internal combustion engine is described in which the voltage regulator is equipped with a load response travel function (LRF), which prevents a rapid rise in the exciting current when a powerful electric consumer is turned on. By means of a suitable trigger circuit which evaluates the engine rpm and thus the generator rpm, the load response travel function is blocked during travel when rpm values are falling, so that in this case, the voltage incursions that occur during an active load-response function are maximally averted.
摘要:
In a voltage regulator for an alternator which charges a battery via a charging cable and supplies a vehicle mains with voltage, the output voltage is regulated as a function of the temperature of the battery. The voltage regulator has a power part and a control part, which includes a simulation device for storing data and for determining the temperature of the battery, and hence the optimum charging voltage, by simulation from the stored data. Further, the voltage drop between the alternator and battery can be calculated from the alternator current and the resistance of the charging cable while taking into account correction factors which take into account the different connections of the consuming devices between the alternator and the battery so that the calculated voltage drop and the optimum charging voltage for the battery can be used by the voltage regulator to set the voltage delivered to the battery.
