[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a silicon carbide driving device 100, comprising:

[0031] A processing board 1, on which a conditioning circuit 10 is provided, and the conditioning circuit 10 is used to condition an input pulse width modulation signal (PWM);

[0032] And, a driving board 2, the driving board 2 is connected to the processing board 1, and a driving module 20 and a silicon carbide module 21 are provided on the driving board 2, the driving module 20 is used to boost the pulse width modulation signal after the conditioning process, and the silicon carbide module 21 is used to invert the pulse width modulation signal after the boost process and generate a variable current signal and / or a variable voltage signal;

[0033] Wherein, the driving module 20 supports a pulse signal with a frequency greater than or equal to 1000 KHZ;

[0034] The switching frequency of the silicon carbide module 21 is 800 kHz-1000 kHz.

[0035] The pulse width modulation signal input in this embodiment is an 8-way PWM modulation instruction, which is processed by the conditioning circuit of the processing board and sent to the driving module on the driving board to boost the voltage to a preset voltage value and then sent to the silicon carbide module for inversion processing. After being processed by the silicon carbide module, a variable current and voltage signal is generated, which is used to control the device to be driven. In addition, the driving module in this embodiment supports pulse signals with a frequency greater than or equal to 1000 KHZ and the switching frequency of the silicon carbide module is as high as 800 KHZ-1000 KHZ. Therefore, the silicon carbide driving device of the embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure and a high switching frequency, which solves the problem of low switching frequency of the driver in the prior art.

[0036] In some implementations, the driver module 20 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a driver chip 201, and the model of the driver chip 201 is ACPL-352J. In this embodiment, the driver chip, that is, the driver optocoupler, is ACPL-352J, which has the following advantages: supports pulse signals above 1000KHZ; has excellent common-mode transient suppression (CMTI) of up to 100kV / μs, which can avoid erroneous gate driver failures in noisy environments; supports rail-to-rail output current up to 5A, so that no output buffer circuit is required; has integrated fail-safe IGBT and MOSFET diagnostic, protection and fault reporting functions; provides minimal propagation delay and excellent timing deviation. The high peak output current and wide operating voltage range of the chip eliminate the need for output buffer circuits, enabling designers to implement cost-effective gate driver solutions for motor drives and power inverters.

[0037] In some implementations, see Figure 2 As shown, the driving module 20 of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a push-pull circuit 202 connected to the driving chip 201, and the push-pull circuit 202 is used to push-pull and boost the pulse width modulation signal received by the driving chip 201. In this embodiment, the driving circuit uses a push-pull circuit, and the advantages of this circuit are: in a general push-pull circuit, such as the output stage, the circuit works to amplify the input signal; and to complete the circuit work, but the general push-pull circuit uses the same level components (transistors or electron tubes) to realize the output stage components to be turned on in turn, and two signals of equal magnitude and opposite phases must be stimulated, that is, the so-called phase inversion problem. The phase inversion can be completed by using a circuit, and an inductor component (transformer) can be used, but this all increases the complexity and reliability of the circuit. Complementary circuits can overcome the above problems that occur when using unipolar components. When the circuit is working, the bipolar components are turned on in turn, and the phase inversion or simplified circuit can also be omitted, so that the stability of the circuit can be improved accordingly. For example, when the input signal is positive, the NPN tube in the bipolar is turned on and the PNP is automatically turned off due to the polarity. When the circuit input signal is negative, the PNP tube is turned on and the NPN tube is turned off. No matter how the signal changes, it can automatically turn on and off to complete the circuit operation. The push-pull circuit has a simple structure and a high utilization rate of the switch transformer core. When the push-pull circuit is working, only one of the two symmetrical power switch tubes is turned on at a time, so the conduction loss is small.

[0038] In some implementations, see Figure 2As shown, the driving board 2 of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a driving power supply 22, and the model of the driving power supply 22 is: QA151M. In this embodiment, the driving power supply uses QA151M, which has the following advantages: high power conversion efficiency, up to 83%; high isolation voltage of 6000VDC, ultra-small isolation capacitance of 3.5pF, and sustainable short-circuit protection; it adopts a two-way independent output and then common connection mode, which can better provide energy for the opening and closing of silicon carbide SiC, and has output short-circuit protection and self-recovery capabilities.

[0039] In some implementations, the silicon carbide module 21 of the embodiment of the present invention is an Infineon silicon carbide module.

[0040] In some implementations, the model of the silicon carbide module 21 of the embodiment of the present invention is FF11MR12W1M1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the silicon carbide module, i.e., the inverter circuit, uses an Infineon silicon carbide module, model FF11MR12W1M1. The advantages of this module are: converting DC power into AC power of different frequencies and phases according to the PWM modulation signal; having a switching frequency of up to 1GHZ; low switching loss, low thermal resistance, and low temperature rise; an inverter conversion efficiency of up to 99%; since silicon carbide has a body diode, an external anti-parallel diode is not required under any circumstances, which simplifies the current freewheeling circuit; it brings smaller product design and higher efficiency; higher frequency operation can make the driver smaller; with a withstand voltage of 1200V, it can operate at higher temperatures, which means that the cooling system can be simpler.

[0042] The silicon carbide drive device of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a three-phase four-bridge arm silicon carbide drive board, which mainly realizes AC-DC-AC inverter function, temperature sampling, 4-way output current sampling, 3-way output voltage sampling, 1-way bus voltage sampling, 1-way bus current sampling, and 8-way PWM push-pull boost to 17V output; it can realize both three-phase motor control and three-phase four-bridge arm power grid control; it adopts a silicon carbide module composed of the world's latest third-generation semiconductor materials, uses the latest driver chip ACPL-352J launched by Avago AVAGO, and the driver power module QA151M of Jinshengyang, and uses a push-pull circuit to make the switching frequency of the silicon carbide power module (model FF11MR12W1M1) reach 800KHZ, so as to control the output current of the silicon carbide driver to be more realistic sine wave waveform and better motor control effect.

[0043] In some implementations, the DC side main circuit structure of the driving board 2 of the embodiment of the present invention is an AC-DC-AC structure or a DC-AC structure, and the topology structure adopted by the inverter side of the driving board 2 is any one of a single-phase half bridge, a single-phase full bridge, a two-level three-phase half bridge, a two-level three-phase full bridge, a three-level three-phase half bridge, a three-level three-phase full bridge, a five-level three-phase half bridge, a five-level three-phase full bridge, and a three-phase four-bridge arm. The silicon carbide driving device of this embodiment can support a variety of topological structures.

[0044] In some implementations, see Figure 2 As shown, the driving board 2 of the embodiment of the present invention is further provided with a sampling module 23, and the sampling module 23 includes 5 voltage samplings and 10 current samplings.

However, the IPM integrates the drive circuit internally and has fault detection and protection circuits such as overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and undervoltage. A soft start circuit or buffer circuit is also designed in the main circuit to reduce the impact of the start-up process on the driver to prevent the instantaneous current from being too large and the bus capacitor from forming a short circuit and causing the machine to explode. The power drive unit first rectifies the input three-phase electricity or city electricity through a three-phase full-bridge uncontrolled rectifier circuit to obtain the corresponding direct current, and then controls the controlled object through a three-phase sinusoidal PWM voltage inverter. The entire process of the power drive unit can be simply described as an AC-DC-AC process; the main topology circuit of the rectifier unit (AC-DC) is a three-phase full-bridge uncontrolled rectifier circuit;
