Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a resonant circuit, and more particularly to a control method and control device for achieving wide-range power output in a resonant circuit. Background Technology

[0002] With the country's vigorous development of the new energy vehicle industry, the number of electric vehicles is growing rapidly, and people's demand for electric vehicles is increasing. However, under the current battery technology, problems such as long charging time, high cost of charging piles, and high failure rate restrict the rapid development of electric vehicles. As the core component of charging piles, the charging module restricts the charging time of electric vehicles, the cost of charging piles, and their reliability. Under the current charging module technology, the output constant power range is relatively narrow, which prevents some electric vehicle models from charging at the maximum power point, thus limiting the charging time. Many manufacturers have tried to widen the constant power output range of charging modules by adding power devices, but this not only greatly increases the cost but also results in low efficiency and low reliability in the low-voltage constant power range.

[0003] Moreover, traditional LLC-structured charging pile power modules, which rely on frequency modulation, have high gain linearity and high system efficiency near the resonant frequency, and can achieve constant power output within the range near the resonant point. However, when the power module operates over a wide voltage output range, the system usually operates at a very high switching frequency, leading to a series of problems such as poor resonant current waveform, increased core and winding losses, and increased switching turn-off losses. This results in poor system efficiency, significant stability risks, and an inability to achieve a wider range of constant power output. For electric vehicle charging applications, there is usually a voltage regulation range of 2 to 3 times, such as 300V to 1000V. Traditional LLC-structured power modules severely restrict the charging time of electric vehicles and the reliability of the entire charging pile system.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-cost and high-efficiency control method and control device for achieving wide-range power output of charging modules. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method and control device for achieving wide-range power output, which can solve the problems of excessively low output voltage or excessively high switching frequency of PWM control signal in two-level mode, and can also effectively increase the upper limit of output voltage in three-level mode, so that the voltage output adjustment range is wider.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses a control method for realizing wide-range power output, used to control the output of a resonant DC charger. The resonant DC charger includes multiple sets of resonant DC circuits and a switching circuit connected between the multiple sets of resonant DC circuits. Each resonant DC circuit includes a switching circuit, a resonant circuit, and a rectifier circuit connected in sequence. The switching circuit controls the parallel and series switching of the multiple sets of resonant DC circuits. The switching circuit is a two-level / three-level bridge arm circuit and can operate in two-level mode and three-level mode respectively. The control method includes: dividing the output voltage value into multiple continuous intervals; acquiring the output voltage and determining the interval of the output voltage; adjusting the operating mode of the switching circuit according to the interval of the output voltage and controlling the switching of the switching circuit, so that the multiple sets of resonant DC circuits are connected in series or in parallel.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, this invention divides the output voltage into multiple ranges from low to high. Based on the range of the output voltage, the corresponding operating mode of the control switch circuit and multiple sets of resonant DC circuits are connected in series and parallel. By combining the switching of two-level / three-level and the series-parallel switching of the resonant circuit, the problem of excessively low output voltage or excessively high switching frequency of PWM control signal in two-level mode can be solved. It can also effectively increase the upper limit of output voltage in three-level mode, making the voltage output adjustment range wider, and can effectively shorten the charging time, improve the charging efficiency and the reliability of the whole assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the interval includes a first interval, a second interval, a third interval, and a fourth interval that are consecutively connected.

[0013] When the output voltage is in the fourth range, the switching circuit is controlled to switch to a three-level mode, and the switching circuit is controlled to operate to connect multiple sets of the resonant DC circuits in series.

[0014] The system employs two-level parallel control in the first gear, two-level series control in the second gear, three-level parallel control in the third gear, and three-level series control in the fourth gear. By combining the switching between two-level and three-level modes with the series-parallel switching of the resonant circuit, it effectively solves the problems of excessively low output voltage or excessively high switching frequency of the PWM control signal in the two-level mode. It can also effectively increase the upper limit of the output voltage in the three-level mode, making the voltage output adjustment range wider.

[0015] Specifically, the first upper limit of the output voltage range is Uo_max, the first interval range is 0.1Uo_max~0.2Uo_max, the second interval range is 0.2Uo_max~0.4Uo_max, the third interval range is 0.4Uo_max~0.8Uo_max, and the fourth interval range is 0.8Uo_max~1.6Uo_max.

Of course, the structure of the switching circuit is not limited to this embodiment.

[0017] Preferably, there are two resonant DC circuits. Of course, the number of resonant DC circuits can also be three, four, or other numbers.

[0018] Preferably, the resonant DC charger further includes a three-phase AC / DC conversion circuit disposed before the resonant DC circuit. The three-phase AC / DC conversion circuit converts the three-phase AC signal into a DC signal and sends it to the resonant DC circuit. After the step "adjusting the working mode of the switching circuit according to the range of the output voltage and controlling the switching of the switching circuit", the charger further includes: controlling the three-phase AC / DC conversion circuit to work to adjust the voltage input to the resonant circuit, and adjusting the working frequency of the switching circuit so that the optimal efficiency output voltage range Ua to Ub of the resonant DC charger is equal to the current range of the output voltage.

[0019] Preferably, the two-level / three-level bridge arm circuit includes a first branch and a second branch connected in series between the positive and negative terminals of the voltage divider circuit, a first diode and a second diode. The first branch includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch and a fourth switch connected in series. The second branch includes a fifth switch and a sixth switch connected in series.

The first switch is connected to a first control signal, the second and sixth switches are connected to a second control signal, the third and fifth switches are connected to a third control signal, and the fourth switch is connected to a fourth control signal. The control method controls the switching between the first and sixth switches based on the high and low levels of the first, second, third, and fourth control signals, thereby controlling the switching between the two-level mode and the three-level mode.

[0020] Specifically, the relevant switching transistors are controlled to operate with complementary 50% duty cycles by the second and third control signals, and the first and fourth switching transistors are controlled to turn off by the first and fourth control signals, so that the two-level / three-level bridge arm circuit operates in two-level mode; the relevant switching transistors are controlled to operate with complementary 50% duty cycles by the second and third control signals, and the duty cycles of the first and fourth switching transistors are adjusted by the first and fourth control signals, so that the two-level / three-level bridge arm circuit operates in three-level mode.
