Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to a power electronic conversion technology, and in particular to the fields of converters, wireless energy transmission, induction heating and electric welding equipment. Background Art

[0002] A converter is a device that converts power, such as DC / DC (direct current / direct current conversion), AC / DC (alternating current / direct current conversion), DC / AC (direct current / alternating current conversion), and AC / AC (alternating current / alternating current conversion). The theoretical basis of the converter is the principle of energy transfer using wireless energy transmission between the primary (primary side) and the secondary (secondary side). That is, a converter is used on the primary (primary side) to convert DC or low-frequency grid power into high-frequency power to drive the transmitting coil, and the transmitting coil transfers the high-frequency energy to the secondary (secondary side) through magnetic coupling, which is the so-called inductive coupling energy transfer technology (IPT). In principle, the IPT system is a transformer system that forms a magnetic coupling link through a pair of coils to transfer energy from the primary side to the secondary side. However, due to the leakage inductance of the magnetic coupling system, especially the mutual inductance of loosely coupled transformer systems such as wireless energy transmission systems is much smaller than the leakage inductance, and the coupling ability between the primary side and the secondary side is poor. The presence of leakage inductance causes the emergence of reactive power and reduces the transmission efficiency. Usually, the problem of poor coupling ability is solved by adding a resonant compensation network to the primary and secondary circuits, such as LLC resonant compensation. Due to the addition of a resonant network in the circuit, the converter and the resonant circuit are strongly coupled to each other, which requires the operating frequency and phase of the converter to be consistent with the resonant network. Also, due to the strong coupling between the converter and the resonant network, the soft switching conditions of the switching devices in the converter are not easy to obtain, which greatly increases the difficulty of the switch control strategy. In actual use, the converter needs to adjust the power. Currently, the commonly used methods for adjusting power include phase shifting and frequency conversion. However, due to the strong coupling between the converter and the resonant network, these power adjustment methods have problems such as the deviation of the switching devices from the soft switching conditions or the deviation of the operating frequency from the resonant point. In addition, the actual application scenario of the IPT system is relatively complex. It is a variable parameter system, such as load changes, coil asymmetry, air gap changes, etc. Parameter changes will cause the resonant network frequency to drift, resulting in detuning between the converter and the resonant network and difficulty in frequency tracking, which greatly affects the practical application of the IPT system. Therefore, many scholars and engineers are looking for better control devices and methods for controlling the IPT system. Summary of the invention

[0060] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0061] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, for example, how to solve the problems of converter frequency tracking and / or converter switch device state change control. An embodiment of the present invention provides a converter, wherein the converter comprises:

[0062] DC power supply; switch unit; primary resonant circuit; first comparison unit; double integration unit; second comparison unit;

[0063] in:

[0064] The primary resonant circuit has a resonant circuit formed by connecting the primary capacitor and the primary inductor in parallel between the first port B1 and the second port B2, and the primary resonant circuit is connected to the secondary energy receiving unit through magnetic coupling. The primary resonant circuit is configured with a voltage sensor V, and the voltage sensor V is used to monitor the working state of the primary resonant circuit, such as the resonant frequency and phase.

[0065] If the switch unit is in the first working state, the switch unit injects current into the primary resonant circuit; if the switch unit is in the second working state, the switch unit stops injecting current into the primary resonant circuit, and the primary resonant circuit resonates; in the two working states of the switch unit, energy is sent from the primary resonant circuit to the secondary energy receiving unit through electromagnetic coupling.

[0066] The first comparison unit, the dual integration unit, and the second comparison unit constitute a controller, the input of which is the output signal V of the voltage sensor and a reference quantity Fjn for controlling power, and the output of which is the output Gm of the second comparison unit.

[0067] The reference quantity Fjn is used to control the time that the switch unit is in the first working state; the resonant frequency of the primary resonant circuit is used to control the time that the switch unit is in the second working state.

[0068] The controller output Gm controls the switch component in the switch unit, driving the switch unit to switch between the first working state and the second working state, thereby forming an autonomous closed-loop control system: switch unit → primary resonant circuit → voltage sensor V → controller → switch unit.

[0069] In the converter provided by the embodiment, if the switch unit is in the first working state, the switch unit inputs current into the primary inductor, the magnetic field energy increases to store energy, and at the same time, the primary inductor transmits energy to the secondary energy receiving unit through electromagnetic coupling. If the switch unit is in the second working state, the switch unit stops injecting current into the primary inductor, the magnetic field energy stored in the primary inductor excites the primary resonant circuit to start resonance, and during the resonance, the primary inductor transmits energy to the secondary energy receiving unit through electromagnetic coupling. In the first working state of the converter, the primary inductor is decoupled from the primary capacitor, and the process of injecting current from the switch unit into the primary inductor is not affected by the primary capacitor. In the second working state of the converter, the switch unit is decoupled from the primary resonant circuit, and the resonance of the primary resonant circuit is not affected by the switch unit.

[0070] Since the switch unit is completely decoupled from the primary resonant circuit, the switch components in the switch unit can ensure that they all work under soft switching conditions, and the switch control strategy is simple and reliable. Since in the first working state, the switch unit independently injects current into the primary inductor to increase the magnetic field energy, the system power can be controlled simply by controlling the maintenance time of the first working state, and the power regulation method is simple and reliable.

[0071] The voltage sensor monitors the working state of the primary resonant circuit, and the controller controls the switch unit to autonomously and periodically switch between the first working state and the second working state during operation according to the output signal V of the voltage sensor and the reference quantity Fjn, thereby realizing autonomous closed-loop control of the system. Therefore, compared with the pain point that the traditional converter and the resonant circuit need to resonate at the same frequency, the converter switch unit of the present invention and the primary resonant circuit do not need to resonate at the same frequency, thus avoiding the problem of difficult frequency tracking.

[0072] The embodiment of the present invention provides a current conversion device, which can convert the power grid frequency AC power supply or the battery DC power supply into a high-frequency AC current, and the high-frequency AC current is electromagnetically coupled with the secondary energy receiving unit through the primary inductor, and a secondary current is induced in the secondary energy receiving unit. In this way, energy is transferred from the primary to the secondary.

[0073] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the application of the converter device of the present invention provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The power supply system is a power supply system that converts the power grid frequency AC power or battery DC power into high-frequency AC power and provides energy to the secondary energy receiving unit by electromagnetic coupling. The power supply system includes a DC power supply 1, a switch unit 2, a primary resonant circuit 3, a secondary energy receiving unit 4, a first comparison unit 5, a dual integration unit 6, and a second comparison unit 7.

[0074] The DC power supply 1 can rectify the industrial frequency AC power of the city power grid into DC power, or directly use the DC power of the battery as the power supply of the converter. The output positive electrode Dc+ of the DC power supply 1 is connected to the A1 port of the switch unit 2, and the output negative electrode Dc- is connected to the A2 port. The voltage level of the power supply is not specifically limited here.

[0075] The switch unit 2 includes a plurality of switch components and a plurality of diodes, and the working states of the switch components and the diodes determine the working state of the switch unit. The two outputs of the switch unit are respectively connected to the B1 and B2 ports of the primary resonant circuit 3. In the first working state of the switch unit, the switch unit injects current into the B1 or B2 port of the primary resonant circuit, and in the second working state of the switch unit, the switch unit stops injecting current into the B1 or B2 port.

[0076] The primary resonant circuit 3 is composed of a primary capacitor 31 and a primary inductor 33 connected in parallel between B1 and B2, and a voltage sensor 32 is also connected in parallel between B1 and B2. The primary inductor transmits energy to the secondary energy receiving unit 4 through electromagnetic coupling.

[0077] The first comparison unit 5, the dual integration unit 6, and the second comparison unit 7 constitute a controller, the input of which is the input signal V of the voltage sensor and the reference quantity Fjn, and the output of which is the output Gm of the second comparison unit.

[0078] The voltage sensor 32 detects the working state of the primary resonant circuit in real time, and its output signal V is used as the input of the first comparison unit 5, and the signal V is used to determine the state of the output terminal Cn of the comparison unit 5. The output terminal Cn has a 0 level state and a high impedance state, which are used to characterize the real-time working condition of the primary resonant circuit, and the high impedance state means that the output terminal Cn is in an isolated state.

[0079] The output terminal Cn signal of the comparison unit 5 is sent to the dual integration unit 6 , and the dual integration unit generates an output signal Dn according to the working state of the Cn signal. The output signal Dn of the dual integration unit is sent to the second comparison unit 7 .

[0080] The reference quantity Fjn and the dual integration unit output signal Dn are used as input signals of the second comparison unit 7. According to the input signal Dn and the input signal Fjn, the second comparison unit generates an output signal Gm. Further, the output signal Gm is used to control the control signal of the switch component in the switch unit 2, control the working state of the switch component, and further control the working state of the switch unit.

[0081] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a first injection current mode of the switch unit in the first working state, see Figure 2 After the output current Ib1 of the switch unit 2 flows into the point B1 of the primary resonant circuit 3, it flows into the primary inductor 33 to form a primary inductor current IL1, and the magnetic field energy in the primary resonant circuit increases.

[0082] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a second current injection mode of the switch unit in the first working state, see Figure 3 After the output current Ib2 of the switch unit 2 flows into the point B2 of the primary resonant circuit 3, it flows in the reverse direction into the primary inductor 33 to form a primary inductor current IL2, and the magnetic field energy in the primary resonant circuit increases in the reverse direction.

In this state, the switch unit 2 stops injecting current into the primary resonant circuit, and the primary capacitor 31 and the primary inductor 33 in the primary resonant circuit resonate to form a resonant current Ic1 in the primary resonant circuit.

[0084] Figure 5 The structure topology diagram of a DC power supply 1 includes a rectifier bridge 11, a ballast inductor Le (12), and a bus capacitor Ce (13). The input end of the rectifier bridge is connected to a three-phase or single-phase power grid, the positive end (+) of the output is connected to one end of the ballast inductor Le, and the negative end (-) is connected to one end of the bus capacitor Ce and serves as the negative end Dc- of the DC power supply. The other end of the ballast inductor and the other end of the bus capacitor serve as the positive end Dc+ of the DC power supply.

[0089] The output Cn of the first comparison unit 5 is connected to the point GI1. When the output Cn of the first comparison unit is in the 0 level state, the point GI1 is clamped at 0 potential, and the first integration loop stops the integration function. When the output Cn of the first comparison unit is in the high impedance state, the first integration loop starts the integration function.

[0090] When the first integration loop stops the integration function, the second integration loop starts the integration function, and when the first integration loop starts the integration function, the second integration loop stops the integration function.

[0091] The cathode of the clamping diode DI1 is connected to the second reference voltage EI2, and the anode is connected to the point GI2, so the voltage at the point GI2 cannot be greater than the second reference voltage EI2.

The controller 1 includes a first comparison unit 5, a dual integration unit 6, and a second comparison unit 7. The concept and principle structure of the controller 1 can be referred to as Figure 1 , Figure 6 The first switch driving circuit is used to convert the output signal Gm of the controller 1 into a switch signal g1 for driving the switch component S1.

[0103] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Fig.14The working process of the first embodiment of a converter device of the present invention is as follows: the input terminals P and N of the DC power supply 1 are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the city power grid to rectify the AC power of the city power grid into DC power. The DC power rectified by the DC power supply is sent to the switch unit 2, the positive pole Dc+ of the DC power supply is connected to A1, the negative pole Dc- is connected to A2, and the output of the switch unit 2 is respectively connected to the points B1 and B2 of the primary resonant circuit. The voltage sensor 32 in the primary resonant circuit 3 detects the working state of the primary resonant circuit, and its output C- and C+ are respectively sent to the input terminals C- and C+ of the controller 1. According to the working state of the primary resonant circuit sent by the voltage sensor, the first comparison unit 5, the dual integration unit 6 and the second comparison unit 7 in the controller 1 work together to obtain the control signal Gm for the first switch component in the switch unit 2. The control signal Gm is further converted by the first switch drive circuit to form a drive signal g1 for driving the first switch component S1. Through this process, a converter device of the present invention realizes system autonomous closed-loop control.

[0104] Through the closed-loop control of the system, the switch unit 2 periodically operates between the first working state and the second working state, converting the low-frequency AC power of the city grid or the DC power of the battery into high-frequency AC power, and then transferring the energy to the secondary energy receiving unit through the AC magnetic flux between the primary inductor 33 and the secondary energy receiving unit 4.

Since in the time interval [t1, t3], Dn < Fjn, the output Gm signal of the second comparison unit is high level, the output signal g1 of the switch drive circuit is high level, the first switch component S1 in the switch unit is turned on, and the switch unit outputs current to the primary resonant circuit, Ib = IL1, and Ib rises linearly with IL1.

[0108] At time t3, when the Dn signal rises to Dn=Fjn signal, the second comparison unit output Gm changes to a low level again, and the switch drive circuit output g1 is also a low level to turn off the switch component S1.
