Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of current transformer, in particular to a single-phase AC / AC converter. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the main ways to realize AC / AC voltage conversion are direct conversion and indirect conversion. Direct conversion is to connect the input AC power directly with the output through switching devices, and to obtain the required frequency or different frequency output AC power by controlling the on-off of the switching devices. Indirect conversion is to realize AC / AC conversion through intermediate links. Specifically, it is to convert the input AC power into DC power, and then convert the DC power into AC power with the required frequency and amplitude.
[0003] Firstly, from the stability point of view, the AC / AC voltage converter needs to be able to maintain the constant output voltage under various load conditions. However, in actual application, the change of load is often very frequent, such as the start and stop of motor, the switching of lighting device, etc., which will cause the fluctuation of grid voltage. The existing design of AC / AC voltage converter is not optimized, or the control strategy is not flexible enough, which makes it difficult for the AC / AC voltage converter to maintain the stability of output voltage under the condition of load change.
[0004] Secondly, from the accuracy point of view, the AC / AC voltage converter needs to be able to provide high-precision output voltage to meet the needs of various sensitive loads. However, due to the existence of various nonlinear elements and interference factors inside or outside the converter, such as switching loss of switching device, parasitic parameters of filter circuit, control algorithm and sampling accuracy, etc., these will affect the accuracy of output voltage. If the control algorithm is not accurate enough, or the sampling accuracy is not high enough, it will cause the error of output voltage to increase, thereby affecting the performance of various loads connected to the output end of the converter.
[0005] These problems not only affect the overall performance of the converter, but also limit its widespread use and application in various application occasions. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 In a specific embodiment, the conversion circuit in the single-phase AC / AC converter comprises:
[0081] The drain electrode of the first switch tube is connected with one end of the second capacitor, and the gate electrode of the first switch tube is connected with one end of the first resistor and one end of the third resistor.
[0082] The source electrode of the first switch tube is connected with the source electrode of the second switch tube, and a first intersection is arranged at the connection position.
[0083] The other end of the third resistor is connected with one end of the fourth resistor, and a second intersection is arranged at the connection position.
[0084] The first intersection and the second intersection are connected, and a power supply is connected at the same time.
[0085] The gate electrode of the second switch tube, the other end of the fourth resistor and one end of the second resistor are connected, and the drain electrode of the second switch tube, one end of the first inductor and the drain electrode of the third switch tube are connected.
[0086] The other end of the first resistor and the other end of the second resistor are connected with the driving chip.
[0087] The gate electrode of the third switch tube is connected with one end of the fifth resistor and one end of the seventh resistor.
[0088] The gate electrode of the third switch tube is connected with one end of the fifth resistor and one end of the seventh resistor.
[0089] The source of the third switch tube and the source of the fourth switch tube are connected, and a third intersection is arranged at the connection;
[0090] The other end of the seventh resistor and one end of the eighth resistor are connected, and a fourth intersection is arranged at the connection;
[0091] The third intersection and the fourth intersection are connected, and a power supply is connected at the same time;
[0092] The gate of the fourth switch tube, the other end of the eighth resistor and one end of the sixth resistor are connected, and the drain of the fourth switch tube and the other end of the second capacitor and one end of the first capacitor are connected;
[0093] The other end of the first inductor and one end of the first capacitor are connected, and the other end of the fifth resistor and the other end of the sixth resistor are connected to the driving chip;
[0094] The two ends of the second capacitor are connected to an AC signal input end at the same time, and the two ends of the first capacitor are connected to a load at the same time.
[0095] Working principle of the conversion circuit:
[0096] The converter first determines the working state of the switch tube according to the polarity of the input voltage, and controls the effective value and frequency of the output voltage by changing the switching time of the switch tube. The four switch tubes cannot be turned on and turned off at the same time, and the loop will produce an impact current when they are turned on at the same time, which will damage the circuit; when they are turned off at the same time, there is no path for the energy stored in the inductor to be released, which will damage the switch tube.
[0097] When the input voltage polarity is positive, a specific group of switch tubes (for example, the first switch tube and the fourth switch tube) will remain in the on state, while the other group of switch tubes (for example, the second switch tube and the third switch tube) will be modulated by high-frequency PWM (pulse width modulation). When the input voltage polarity is negative, the working state of the switch tube will be reversed, that is, the switch tube that was originally turned on is turned off, and the switch tube that was originally modulated by high-frequency PWM remains in the on state, while the other group of switch tubes is modulated by high-frequency PWM.
[0098] By adjusting the duty cycle of the input PWM signal, the amplitude of the output voltage can be controlled. The larger the duty cycle, the higher the output voltage; the smaller the duty cycle, the lower the output voltage.
[0099] In a specific embodiment, the first sampling module and the second sampling module are built-in in the main control chip.
[0100] In a specific embodiment, the main control chip can use an STM32F334C8T6 single-chip microcomputer, and feedback control is performed through the single-chip microcomputer.
[0101] The switch tube driving chip can select UCC21520. UCC21520 has a source current of 4A and a sink current of 6A, so that the load rising time and falling time of high-frequency switching power supply application are significantly accelerated, such as the rising time of 1.8nF load is 6ns and the falling time is 7ns, thereby reducing the switching loss and improving the power efficiency. It also provides enhanced isolation of 5.7kVRMS, which can effectively isolate high-voltage environments and protect equipment from electric shock and electromagnetic interference.
[0102] In one specific embodiment, a key circuit is further included, and the key circuit includes one or more keys, and the keys are used to step the output AC signal.
[0103] In one specific embodiment, a rectifier circuit is further included, and the rectifier circuit is used to reduce the harmonic components of the input AC signal.
[0104] It should be noted that the above descriptions of the disclosed embodiments enable one of ordinary skill in the art to carry out or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
