Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of aeronautical generator, in particular to a variable output rectifier device for aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator is a power generation device specially designed for aerospace scenarios, which is used to generate high-voltage direct current. The aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator converts the three-phase or double three-phase (also known as six-phase) alternating current output by the main generator into direct current through the output rectifier, thereby providing power for the electrical equipment on the aircraft. The voltage of the high-voltage direct current generated by the aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator is generally 270V, and some can reach 540V.

[0003] Compared with traditional power supply systems, the aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator has the following advantages.

[0004] First, high power density. Under the same power, the power supply system based on the 270V aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator has smaller wire current. Higher voltage can reduce current under the same power, so thinner and lighter cables can be used, significantly reducing the weight of the aircraft and improving space utilization to some extent.

[0005] Second, power distribution simplification and efficiency improvement. The aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator integrates the rectifier device internally, so it can directly provide high-voltage direct current, eliminating the need for external rectifier devices in traditional power supply systems, reducing energy conversion losses, and reducing system complexity.

[0006] Third, strong compatibility. The aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator is more easily integrated with modern energy storage devices such as lithium batteries, high-power electrical equipment (such as electrically driven pumps and electric deicing systems), and future electric propulsion systems.

[0007] Fourth, high reliability. The aeronautical high-voltage direct current generator has good stability and anti-interference ability, and can work stably in complex aerospace environments, eliminating the need for constant speed transmission devices or variable frequency alternating current devices, reducing mechanical failure points, simplifying system structure, and facilitating redundancy design. In the case of small faults in some power modules, it can still work normally.

[0024] In order to solve the technical problem that the traditional rectifier requiring a specific shape of installation space seriously restricts the overall size of the aviation high-voltage DC generator, an embodiment of the present application proposes an aviation high-voltage DC generator shape-variable output rectifier device. The implementation details of the aviation high-voltage DC generator shape-variable output rectifier device proposed in the embodiment will be described in detail below. The following content is only provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for implementing the present solution.

[0025] The specific structure of the aviation high-voltage DC generator shape-variable output rectifier device proposed in the embodiment can be as shown in Figure 1 The aviation high-voltage DC generator shape-variable output rectifier device proposed in the embodiment is composed of three groups of rectifier diodes. Each group of rectifier diodes is composed of a first rectifier diode 11 and a second rectifier diode 12 stacked together. The two stacked rectifier diodes are fixed by a screw rod 41 and a nut 42. A wiring board 30 is arranged between the two stacked rectifier diodes. The wiring board 30 is provided with two lugs, namely a wiring lug 31 and a positioning lug 32. The wiring lug 31 is used to connect a group of three-phase alternating current output by the generator.
