Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of induction heating, and in particular to a current source type LCCL double-frequency resonant system and a parameter matching method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Induction heating is a technology for realizing non-contact heating by exciting eddy current in conductive materials through an alternating magnetic field, and is widely applied to industrial fields such as metal heat treatment, welding and smelting. Compared with traditional heating methods, induction heating has the advantages of high efficiency, fast heating, energy saving and environmental protection, high automation and the like, and has important application value in surface quenching of parts such as gears and shafts. In the application of surface quenching of mechanical parts such as gears, sprockets and springs with complex surface geometries, in order to simultaneously consider the heating depth and hardening effect of different parts such as tooth tips and tooth roots, a single-frequency induction heating scheme has been difficult to meet the requirements. Research has found that low-frequency (Low Frequency, LF) current can effectively penetrate the tooth root area, helping to improve fatigue strength, while high-frequency (High Frequency, HF) current is suitable for rapid heating of the tooth surface to enhance its wear resistance. If only low-frequency heating is used, the whole tooth body may be overheated, affecting its toughness; if only high-frequency heating is used, the tooth root area is difficult to effectively heat. Therefore, the simultaneous action of low-frequency and high-frequency induction currents is an ideal solution for surface quenching of complex profile workpieces.

[0003] Most of the current mainstream double-frequency induction heating systems adopt a voltage source type inverter (Voltage-Source Inverter, VSI) structure, and realize the injection and control of low-frequency and high-frequency power through multi-resonant circuits, PWM modulation or multi-level technology. However, the structure of the voltage source type inverter has problems such as parasitic oscillation prone to occur in the system, complex control, and difficulty in constant output current. Especially in the aspect of multi-frequency simultaneous output control, the system faces challenges in high coupling degree, steady-state and dynamic control, etc. In comparison, the current source type induction heating system naturally has the advantages of suppressing short-circuit current and controllable output current waveform in theory. However, at present, the research on the current source type double-frequency induction heating topology structure is still relatively scarce, and most of the existing work focuses on the voltage source type structure, and the current source type double-frequency induction heating system lacks systematic research on structure design, current decoupling, power control, load resonant tuning and the like. SUMMARY

[0004] Based on the above background, the application develops a current source type double-frequency induction heating system which is compact in structure, frequency-independent controllable, flexible in power distribution and suitable for induction heat treatment of complex tooth-shaped workpieces, and has important significance for improving equipment performance and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0005] As an aspect of the present application, a current source type LCCL dual-frequency resonant system is provided, comprising a first current source type resonant inverter, a second current source type resonant inverter and a dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity.

[0015] Preferably, the two parallel resonance frequency points of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity are ω1 and ω2, respectively.

[0016]

[0017] Preferably, the system has three working modes, namely a low-frequency working mode, a high-frequency working mode, and a dual-frequency superposition working mode.

The working frequency of the second current-mode resonant inverter corresponds to the high-frequency resonance frequency point of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity, and the working period is T2 = 1 / f2.

[0021] At the same time, the controller switches the diagonal switch tubes of the second current-mode resonant inverter at a frequency of f2, thereby embedding N high-frequency resonance periods T2 into a low-frequency resonance period T1, where f2 = Nf1.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following technical effects:

[0038] 1. The present application provides a current source type LCCL dual-frequency resonant system, which is composed of two current type resonant inverters and a dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity, can output current including high-frequency component and low-frequency component on an induction heating coil, and realizes efficient induction heat treatment of complex tooth-shaped workpieces.

[0048] The technology described below can have various modifications and can be various embodiments, and is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, this does not mean that the technology described below is limited to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the present application includes all similar modifications, equivalents and alternatives without departing from the spirit and technical scope of the technology described below.

[0049] Figure 1 Two typical resonant inverter structures in the prior art are voltage source type series resonant inverters and current source type parallel resonant inverters according to different resonant load structures, where L is an inductive coil, C is a compensation capacitor, and R is an equivalent resistance of a workpiece to be heated. The voltage source type series resonant inverter is generally powered by a voltage source, and a large capacitor is connected in parallel at the input side. The inverter input is a constant voltage. As long as a certain regular switching voltage is provided for switches S1-S4, and they are alternately switched regularly, a square wave voltage can be output at the inverter output. The frequency depends on the switching frequency of the switching device, and the amplitude is related to the input voltage of the inverter. When working at the resonant point, the load impedance is minimum. The current source type parallel resonant inverter is generally powered by a current source, and a large inductor is connected in series at the input side of the inverter. The output of the power supply is a constant current. Unlike series resonance, parallel resonance amplifies the equivalent resistance. Simple LC parallel resonance makes the impedance maximum at the resonant point, which is Q 2 times the equivalent resistance of the load, where Q = ωL / R is the quality factor of the inductor L. The current type resonant inverter has lower requirements for the withstand voltage and current level of the power device, does not require short circuit protection, and has relatively simple load matching, which reduces the requirements for the power device and makes the circuit run more stably, and has high practical value.

[0050] Figure 2 The current source type LCCL dual-frequency resonant system architecture of the present application is composed of two current type resonant inverters and a dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity. The dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity contains two capacitors, two inductors and an internal resistance. L1 is defined as the resonant cavity power matching inductor, C1 and C2 are defined as the constraint capacitors for topology simplification, L2 is the inductance of the inductive heating coil, and R is the equivalent resistance of the coil.

[0051] The two current type resonant inverters each include four IGBT tubes and four fast recovery diodes connected in series with the four IGBT tubes, respectively. The two current type resonant inverters work in low frequency LF and high frequency HF modes, respectively, and the outputs of the two current type resonant inverters are simultaneously connected across the input side of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity, which is equivalent to connecting the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity after parallel connection of the two current source type inverters. The dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity has two parallel resonant frequency points, which are:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Figure 3 For the two simplified topologies of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity, the expressions of the two parallel resonant frequency points ω1, ω2 of the above dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity are complex, the parameter design is difficult, and it is difficult to be practically applied to engineering practice. Therefore, a and b are defined as simplified coefficients (a and b can be positive or negative) to represent the impedance size relationship between each branch inside the resonant cavity. Among them, in the L2-R branch, R is much smaller than L2 impedance and can be ignored.

[0055] Therefore, the impedance size of the C1 branch is The impedance size of the C2 branch is The impedance size of the L2-R branch is The impedance size of the C2 / / (L2-R) parallel branch is

[0056] When the system is at the low-frequency parallel resonant frequency point ω1, the topology is simplified, and a is defined to represent the multiple relationship of the impedance of the C2 branch and the L2-R branch, that is:

[0057]

[0058] When the system is at the high-frequency parallel resonant frequency point ω2, the topology is simplified, and b is defined to represent the multiple relationship of the impedance of the C1 branch and the C2 / / (L2-R) parallel branch, that is:

[0059]

[0060] For convenience, it is directly defined that That is, a and b can be positive or negative, and only represent the multiple relationship of the branch impedance.

[0061] Accordingly, the relationship of C1 and C2 can be obtained:

[0062]

[0063] Where N = ω2 / ω1, representing the multiple relationship between high frequency and low frequency, C1 and C2 are the capacitance values of the resonant capacitors C1 and C2, respectively.

[0064] For the case at low frequency, when |a| >> 1 is satisfied, the impedance on the C2 branch is much larger than the impedance on the (L2-R) branch, and the current flowing through the C2 branch is extremely small, so the C2 branch can be approximated as an open circuit, and the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity can be simplified as an LCL series-parallel resonant. At this time, the resonant cavity works at the low-frequency resonant frequency point, and its resonant frequency ω1 can be simplified as:

[0065]

[0066] The quality factor at low frequency is defined as β = L1 / L2, where ω1' is the resonant frequency of the simplified topology at low frequency, L1 is the matching inductance value, L2 is the inductance value of the induction heating coil, R ω1 is the equivalent resistance of the load at the resonant frequency ω1', and β is the power matching coefficient. The equivalent load impedance expression of the simplified topology at ω1' is:

[0067]

[0068] The output power at low frequency is thus where R1 = Q1 2 β 2 R ω1 , i is the imaginary unit, and I d is the magnitude of the square wave current output by the inverter.

[0069] For the case at high frequency, when |b| » 1 is satisfied, the impedance on C1 is much smaller than that on the (L2-R) / / C2 branch, and the voltage divided on C1 is extremely small, so the C1 branch can be approximated as a short circuit, and the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity can be simplified as an LC parallel resonant. At this time, the resonant cavity works at the high-frequency resonant frequency point, and its resonant frequency ω2 can be simplified as:

[0070]

[0071] The quality factor at high frequency is defined as β = L1 / L2, where ω2' is the resonant frequency of the simplified topology at high frequency, L1 is the matching inductance value, L2 is the inductance value of the induction heating coil, R ω2 is the equivalent resistance of the load at the resonant frequency ω2', and β is the power matching coefficient. The equivalent load impedance expression of the simplified topology at ω2 is:

[0072]

[0073] The output power at high frequency is thus where R2 = Q2 2 R ω2 , i is the imaginary unit, and I d is the magnitude of the square wave current output by the inverter.

[0074] On the one hand, the equivalent resistance R ω1 of the induction heating coil L2 when working at low frequency is ω2The difference is large, on the other hand, due to the above two kinds of simplified resonant cavity equivalent resistance R amplification factor is not consistent, can lead to the output power difference is large when working at high and low frequency, at this time can be through the power matching coefficient β on the high frequency output power and low frequency output power matching, namely adjusting The value of the high and low frequency full load output power ratio.

[0075] The resonant frequency formula of the two simplified topologies is: Where ω2'=N*ω1', C1, C2 relationship formula Can be obtained

[0076]

[0077] According to the above derivation, take a group of a, b value, and then you can easily find out all the parameters of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity.

[0078] As Figure 4 The amplitude-frequency characteristic comparison chart of the complete topology structure and the two simplified topologies of the dual-frequency LCCL, the resonant frequency points and the characteristics of the parameter design by the simplified topology are compared with the complete topology, which verifies the rationality of the parameter design method based on the topology simplification.

[0079] Then a parameter design example is used to illustrate the parameter matching method of the application.

[0080] The default HF inverter and LF inverter output current size is consistent:

[0081] First, determine the target design frequency f1=8khz and f2=120khz, then N=15, the actual inductance value of the induction heating coil L2 is 12.20μH, the load equivalent resistance R ω1 At 8khz, R ω2 At 120khz, the equivalent resistance R

[0082] Further, the target values of the two parallel resonant frequency points ω1 and ω2 are 2pi*f1 and 2pi*f2 respectively.

[0083] Second, design the low frequency maximum output power P1 and the high frequency maximum output power P2 close in size, that is, R2 / R1≈1, R1=Q1 2 β 2 R ω1 And R2=Q2 2 R ω2 , calculation can get β=6.71, so L1=βL2=81.84μH;

[0084] Third, N, L1, L2 value is brought into Get We can choose a = 196 and b = -197;

[0085] Fourth step, substitute the L1 and L2 values ​​into... The result is C1 = 4.2087 μF;

[0086] Fifth step, substitute a = 196, b = -197 into the equation. We can obtain C1 = 25.391C2, and further derive C2 = 0.1658μF;

[0087] In summary, the parameters of the dual-frequency LCCL resonator are:

[0088] L1=81.84μH, L2=12.20μH, C1=4.2087μF, C2=0.1658μF.

[0089] Under the above parameters, the simplified topological resonant frequencies are 8000Hz and 120000Hz, respectively. The two parallel resonant frequencies of the complete dual-frequency LCCL topology are 7997.33Hz and 119996Hz. It can be seen that the difference between the two cases is extremely small, with errors both less than 0.035%. Observation Figure 4 The full topology and the simplified low-frequency topology were found to have almost identical amplitude-frequency characteristics at low frequencies. (See...) Figure 4 (a); The amplitude-frequency characteristics at high frequencies are almost identical to those of the simplified high-frequency topology, see Figure 4 (b). Therefore, the topology simplification method based on the present invention is effective for the parameter design of dual-frequency LCCL resonators.

[0090] Figure 5 , 6 All results are simulation results of the current-source type LCCL dual-frequency resonant system of this invention. Since it is difficult to reflect the relationship between the equivalent resistance and frequency in the simulation, R is taken as... ω1 =R ω2 =0.5Ω, and the other inductor and capacitor parameters are the same as the previous design parameters.

[0091] In the dual-frequency superposition working mode, the system uses two sets of current-source inverters connected to the input of the LCCL dual-frequency resonant cavity at the same time. The two sets of inverters operate at the two parallel resonant frequencies of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity, respectively injecting low-frequency and high-frequency components into the resonant cavity, and finally forming a dual-frequency composite current on the load.

[0092] The specific operation mode is as follows: assuming that the two resonant frequencies of the dual-frequency LCCL resonant cavity are low frequency f1 and high frequency f2, and Nf1=f2; the working frequency of the LF inverter is f1, and the working frequency of the HF inverter is f2; in each complete low-frequency period T1=1 / f1, N high-frequency periods T2=1 / f2 are contained. The low-frequency part is powered by the LF inverter, and in each low-frequency resonant period T1=1 / f1, the LF inverter works in the traditional current source inverter mode, and the controller opens its diagonal switch tubes in turn at the frequency of f1. In the first half resonant period, the switch tube Sa1 and the switch tube Sa4 are turned on, the switch tube Sa2 and the switch tube Sa3 are turned off, the current is positive, and the resonant cavity is injected clockwise; in the second half resonant period, the switch tube Sa2 and the switch tube Sa3 are turned on, the switch tube Sa1 and the switch tube Sa4 are turned off, the current is reversed, and the process realizes a complete low-frequency resonant period T1=1 / f1, generating a low-frequency sinusoidal current component. The high-frequency part is powered by the HF inverter, which also works in the traditional current source inverter mode, that is, the action mode of the switch tubes Sb1-Sb4 is the same as that of the switch tubes Sa1-Sa4. With the frequency f2=Nf1, N high-frequency current periods are embedded into the low-frequency period, and the total current in the resonant cavity is the linear superposition of the low-frequency sinusoidal current and the high-frequency sinusoidal current.

[0093] As shown in Figure 5 , with the low-frequency resonant period T1 as the system period, in the dual-frequency superposition output, the superimposed current of the inverter output is a square wave current with 0, 2I d jumping in the first half resonant period with f2 as the period, and a square wave current with 0, -2I d jumping in the second half resonant period with f2 as the period. The total current in the resonant cavity is the linear superposition of the low-frequency current and the high-frequency current. In this operation mode, the LF and HF inverters work at different resonant frequencies of the resonant cavity and do not interfere with each other, realizing frequency layer injection and energy separation control.

[0094] Figure 6 (a) shows the current waveform of the induction heating coil L2, and the low-frequency current constitutes the envelope of the current waveform, while the high-frequency current oscillates rapidly inside the envelope. In this operation mode, the two inverters drive different frequency resonant points without interference, realizing frequency layer injection and energy separation control; Figure 6 (b) shows the FFT analysis of the superimposed current waveform on the induction heating coil L2, and it is found that there are mainly two frequency components, i.e. the low-frequency resonant frequency f1=8 kHz and the high-frequency resonant frequency f2=120 kHz designed in the above example.

[0095] Although the present application has been described in detail with particular references to illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood that modifications and changes can be made to such embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. The above description is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive. Other changes and modifications which are obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
