Battery management system
First Claim
1. A battery management system comprising:
- a voltage measuring unit to measure a voltage of a battery;
a controller to output signals in accordance with data sent from the voltage measuring unit;
an interface connecting unit to let the controller communicate with an external unit;
a circuit board having a first region provided with the voltage measuring unit, a second region provided with the controller, a third region provided with the interface connecting unit, and a relay region that is disposed at a predetermined first insulation distance from the first region and at a predetermined second insulation distance from the second region, a ground (GND) potential for the first region and a GND potential for the second region being mutually independent potentials;
a first insulating device connecting between the first region and the relay region facing each other through the first insulation distance, the first insulating device being configured to transmit data on the voltage of the battery measured by the voltage measuring unit to the relay region; and
a second insulating device connecting between the relay region and the second region facing each other through the second insulation distance, the second insulating device being configured to transmit data on the voltage of the battery transmitted to the relay region by the first insulating device to the second region,wherein an insulation distance between the first region and the second region is defined by the first insulating device and the second insulating device.

Abstract
A battery management system includes a circuit board having a first region provided with a voltage measuring unit, a second region provided with a controller, a relay region that is disposed at a first insulation distance from the first region and at a second insulation distance from the second region, and a third region provided with an interface connecting unit. The third region is disposed at a third insulation distance from the second region. The third insulation distance is shorter than each of the first and the second insulation distances. The battery management system further includes a first insulating device connecting between the first region and the relay region, a second insulating device connecting between the relay region and the second region, and a third insulating device connecting between the second region and the third region.
