Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a bridge circuit and a switching power supply. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of switching power supplies, bridge circuits are mostly used in rectification, inversion and other links. Bridge circuits usually include multiple bridge arms, each of which includes an upper switch tube and a lower switch tube connected in series. When the switching frequency of the switch tube corresponding to the driving signal in the bridge circuit is high, during the opening process of one switch tube on the bridge arm, a positive or negative voltage spike will be generated on another switch tube on the bridge arm. This phenomenon is called crosstalk. Severe positive voltage crosstalk can easily cause the switch tube to be mis-conducted, affecting the working stability of the switch tube, and severe negative voltage crosstalk spikes can easily cause the gate of the switch tube to be broken down and damaged. Therefore, filtering and eliminating crosstalk are of great significance to improving the working reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit. In the existing crosstalk elimination scheme, since the crosstalk absorption circuit is not decoupled from the switch tube driving circuit, it is very easy to cause damage to the clamping switch tube in the crosstalk absorption circuit, and the absorption circuit is not enabled in time, resulting in the inability to completely absorb the crosstalk, the crosstalk elimination effect is poor, and the working reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit is low.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the application scenario of the power grid power supply system provided in this application. The power grid power supply system provided in this application may include a DC power supply and a switching power supply, wherein the DC power supply may be composed of a photovoltaic array, the output end of the photovoltaic array may be connected to the first end of the switching power supply, and the second end of the switching power supply is connected to the AC grid. Figure 1 In the DC power conversion system shown, the photovoltaic array can be composed of one or more photovoltaic strings connected in parallel, and a photovoltaic string can be obtained by connecting one or more photovoltaic modules in series. The switching power supply can change (can be boosted, bucked, etc.) the DC power provided by the photovoltaic array, and perform voltage inversion conversion on the transformed DC power to power the battery, communication base station or household appliances in the AC power grid.

[0027] In some possible implementations, please refer again to Figure 1 The DC power supply may also include an energy storage battery, the output end of which may be connected to the first end of the switching power supply, and the second end of which may be connected to the AC power grid. The switching power supply may change (increase or decrease voltage, etc.) the DC power provided by the energy storage battery, and perform voltage inversion conversion on the transformed DC power to supply power to power batteries, communication base stations, household appliances, and other electrical appliances in the AC power grid.

[0028] In some possible implementations, Figure 1 The switching power supply in the device can perform voltage rectification and conversion on the AC voltage of the AC power grid, and perform DC voltage conversion on the rectified DC power, and then output a DC voltage or a DC current to the energy storage battery. The energy storage battery is charged based on the voltage or current output by the switching power supply.

[0029] exist Figure 1 In the application scenario shown, the switching power supply may include a bridge circuit. During the operation of the switching power supply, the switching power supply may perform current rectification or inversion conversion through the bridge circuit. The bridge circuit generally includes multiple bridge arms, and each bridge arm may include an upper switch tube and a lower switch tube connected in series. The switch tube in the bridge circuit may be turned on or off based on the received drive signal. In the case where the switching frequency of the switch tube corresponding to the drive signal in the bridge circuit is high, during the conduction of a switch tube on any bridge arm, a positive or negative voltage spike will be generated on another switch tube on the bridge arm. This phenomenon is called crosstalk. Severe positive voltage crosstalk can easily cause the switch tube to be mis-conducted, affecting the working stability of the switch tube, while severe negative voltage crosstalk spikes can easily cause the gate of the switch tube to be broken down and damaged. In the conventional switch tube crosstalk elimination scheme, since the crosstalk absorption circuit is not decoupled from the circuit driving the switch tube, it is very easy to cause damage to the switch tube used for clamping in the crosstalk absorption circuit. Alternatively, the switch tube used for clamping requires a separate drive signal to enable, resulting in the crosstalk absorption circuit being untimely enabled and unable to completely absorb the crosstalk, resulting in poor crosstalk elimination effect and low operating reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit.

[0030] In the power grid power supply system provided by the present application, the bridge circuit in the switching power supply may include at least one bridge arm and at least one anti-crosstalk circuit, and each bridge arm may include two driving switch tubes connected in series (which may be metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET), referred to as MOS tubes, and may also be insulated gate bipolar transistors (Insu l ated gate bipolar transistor, IGBT), etc.). Specifically, the above-mentioned anti-crosstalk circuit may include an inversion circuit and a clamping switch tube, and the first end of any driving switch tube in each bridge arm may be connected to the controller in the switching power supply and the first end of the clamping switch tube, and the second end of the driving switch tube (which may be the end connected to the cathode of the diode in the driving switch tube) is connected to the second end of the clamping switch tube. Here, the controller in the above-mentioned switching power supply can send a driving signal to the first end of the driving switch tube and the inversion circuit, and the inversion circuit can invert the received driving signal and send the inverted driving signal to the third end of the clamping switch tube. The clamp switch tube can be turned on or off based on the inverted driving signal, so that the clamp switch tube remains turned on when the driving switch tube is turned off to clamp the first end and the second end of the driving switch tube, and the potential difference between the first end and the second end of the driving switch tube is zero, thereby eliminating the positive or negative voltage spike generated by the driving switch tube due to the conduction of another connected driving switch tube. The clamp switch tube in the anti-crosstalk circuit can timely clamp the two ends of the driving switch tube to absorb crosstalk through the driving signal sent by the multiplexing controller, and the crosstalk elimination effect is good, which improves the working reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit.

Figure 3 , Figure 3 is another structural schematic diagram of the power grid power supply system provided by the present application, Figure 3 The grid power supply system shown includes a DC power supply and a switching power supply, wherein the DC transformer in the switching power supply may include a bridge circuit. The DC transformer may include two bridge arms, one bridge arm includes two driving switch tubes connected in series (for the convenience of description, they may be represented as switch tube S1 and switch tube S2), and the other bridge arm includes two driving switch tubes connected in series (for the convenience of description, they may be represented as switch tube S3 and switch tube S4).

[0033] In some possible implementations, Figure 2 or Figure 3 In the grid power supply system shown in the figure, the bridge circuit in the switching power supply may include at least one bridge arm and at least one anti-crosstalk circuit. Figure 3 Take the power grid system shown in the figure as an example. Figure 3 Each driving switch tube (switch tube S1, switch tube S2, switch tube S3 and switch tube S4) in the DC transformer unit can be connected to an anti-crosstalk circuit ( Figure 3 The switch tube S2 is connected to an anti-crosstalk circuit as an example for explanation. The anti-crosstalk circuit may include an inversion circuit and a clamping switch tube. The first end of the switch tube S2 in the DC transformer unit may be connected to a controller ( Figure 3 The controller may be configured to connect the first end of the switch tube S2 and the inverting circuit, and the inverting circuit may be configured to invert the received driving signal and send the inverted driving signal to the third end of the clamping switch tube. The clamping switch tube may be turned on or off based on the inverted driving signal, so that the clamping switch tube remains turned on when the switch tube S2 is turned off to clamp the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2, and the potential difference between the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2 is zero, thereby eliminating the positive or negative voltage spike generated by the switch tube S2 due to the connected switch tube S1 being turned on. The clamping switch tube in the anti-crosstalk circuit can timely clamp the two ends of the driving switch tube to absorb crosstalk by multiplexing the driving signal sent by the controller, and the crosstalk elimination effect is good, which improves the working reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit.

In some feasible implementations, the bridge circuit in the switching power supply (which may be a bridge circuit for DC conversion or inversion) may include at least one bridge arm and at least one anti-crosstalk circuit, the bridge arm may include two driving switch tubes connected in series, and the anti-crosstalk circuit may include an inversion circuit and a clamping switch tube. The first end of the driving switch tube may be connected to the controller in the switching power supply and the first end of the clamping switch tube, the second end of the driving switch tube may be connected to the second end of the clamping switch tube, and the second end of each driving switch tube is an end connected to the cathode of the diode in the driving switch tube. Specifically, the inversion circuit in the anti-crosstalk circuit may include a first resistor and an inversion switch tube, the first end of the inversion switch tube may be connected to the first DC power supply and the third end of the clamping switch tube, the second end of the inversion switch tube may be connected to the second end of the clamping switch tube, and the third end of the inversion switch tube may be connected to the controller through the first resistor. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a bridge circuit provided by the present application. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The bridge circuit in the embodiment may include two bridge arms, and the driving switch tube in the bridge arm is a MOS tube for example. One bridge arm includes two driving switch tubes connected in series (for the convenience of description, they can be represented as switch tube S1 and switch tube S2), and the other bridge arm includes two driving switch tubes connected in series (for the convenience of description, they can be represented as switch tube S3 and switch tube S4). For example, the bridge circuit includes an anti-crosstalk circuit and the anti-crosstalk circuit is connected to the switch tube S2. The anti-crosstalk circuit may include an inversion circuit and a clamping switch tube (for the convenience of description, it can be represented as switch tube Q1). The first end of the switch tube S2 (which can be the gate of the switch tube S2) can be connected to the controller in the switching power supply and the first end of the switch tube Q1 (which can be the drain of the switch tube Q1), and the second end of the switch tube S2 (which can be the end connected to the cathode of the diode in the switch tube S2, that is, the source of the switch tube S2) is connected to the second end of the switch tube Q1 (which can be the source of the switch tube Q1).

When the driving signal is at a low level, the switch tube S2 is turned off and the switch tube Q1 is turned on, that is, the switch tube Q1 can remain turned on when the switch tube S2 is turned off to clamp the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2, and the potential difference between the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2 is zero, thereby eliminating the positive or negative voltage spike generated by the switch tube S2 due to the connected switch tube S1 being turned on. Here, the process of eliminating the crosstalk of the corresponding switch tube when the above-mentioned anti-crosstalk circuit is connected to other switch tubes (switch tube S1, switch tube S3 or switch tube S4) in the bridge circuit can refer to the above-mentioned Figure 4 The description of the bridge circuit shown in will not be repeated here. The circuit connection when the driving switch tube of the bridge arm in the bridge is an IGBT tube is similar to the circuit connection when the driving switch tube is a MOS tube. It can be understood that if the switch tubes Q1, Q2 and S2 are IGBT tubes, the first ends of the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 are collectors, the second ends are emitters, and the third ends are gates, and the first ends of the switch tubes S2 are gates, the second ends are emitters, and the third ends are collectors, that is, the first ends, second ends and third ends of each switch tube can be determined according to the specific device type, and are not limited here.

Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 Including the driving signal received by the switch tube S2 and the driving signal received by the switch tube S1 (connected in series with the switch tube S2 to form a bridge arm). The above switch tubes S1 and S2 are alternately turned on based on the received driving signals.

The switch tube Q1 receives the driving signal after being inverted by the inversion circuit and delayed by the delay circuit. The driving signal received by the gate of the switch tube Q1 is complementary to the driving signal received by the switch tube S2, that is, the switch tube Q1 can remain turned on when the switch tube S2 is turned off to clamp the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2. The potential difference between the first end and the second end of the switch tube S2 is zero, thereby eliminating the positive or negative voltage spike of the switch tube S2 caused by the connected switch tube S1 being turned on. In addition, the driving signal received by the gate of the switch tube Q1 is turned on and off with delay, so as to avoid the switch tube Q1 and the switch tube S2 from being turned on or off at the same time, and to prevent the short circuit phenomenon caused by the switch tube Q1 and the switch tube S2 being turned on or off at the same time to damage the components in the anti-crosstalk circuit, thereby improving the reliability of the switch tube in the bridge circuit.

Here, the above-mentioned controller can send a driving signal to the first end of the driving switch tube and the inversion circuit, and the inversion circuit can invert the received driving signal and send the inverted driving signal to the third end of the clamping switch tube. The clamp switch tube can be turned on or off based on the inverted driving signal, so that the clamp switch tube remains on when the driving switch tube is turned off to clamp the first end and the second end of the driving switch tube, and the potential difference between the first end and the second end of the driving switch tube is zero, thereby eliminating the positive or negative voltage spike generated by the driving switch tube due to the connected driving switch tube being turned on.
