[0033] The embodiments of the present application provide an energy conversion device, a motor, a power system and a vehicle. The device integrates charging function and motor driving function. When installed on an electric vehicle, it can improve the vehicle integration, simplify the structural layout of the electric vehicle, and reduce the cost and volume of the electric vehicle.

[0034] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "corresponding to" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0036] In order to make the description of the following embodiments clear and concise, a brief introduction to the related technology is first given:

[0037] There are generally two types of solutions for the integration of the charging function and the motor drive function of electric vehicles. One type of solution is a non-isolated integrated charging solution. Non-isolated charging means that there is no transformer to isolate the charging port from the high-voltage battery. In this charging solution, the high-voltage battery and the charging port are directly electrically connected, which poses certain safety risks. Currently, this type of non-isolated charging solution is basically not used in electric vehicles.

[0038] Another type of solution is an isolated integrated charging solution, that is, the voltage conversion circuit between the charging port and the high-voltage battery is isolated by at least one transformer. After the AC input is rectified and then boosted, the latter stage is isolated and transformed to charge the high-voltage battery. This type of isolated charging solution, whether it is a separate charging solution or an integrated charging solution, is the main form of electric vehicle charging at present.

[0039] However, the current solution has low integration, high cost and volume. The present application provides an energy conversion device that integrates charging function and motor drive function. When installed on an electric vehicle, it can improve the integration of the vehicle, simplify the structural layout of the electric vehicle, and reduce the cost and volume of the electric vehicle.

[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an energy conversion device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the energy conversion device integrates a charging function and a motor driving function. The energy conversion device includes a three-phase bridge arm converter 102, a motor coil 104, a two-phase two-bridge arm converter 103 and a transformer 105. The DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 is connected to the battery 101, the AC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 is connected to the motor coil 104, the primary winding of the transformer 105 is connected to the AC charging port 106, the secondary winding of the transformer 105 is connected to the AC end of the two-phase two-bridge arm converter 103, and the DC end of the two-phase two-bridge arm converter 103 is connected to the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102. The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the energy conversion device:

[0041] 1. Battery 101;

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, both ends of the battery 101 can be used as output ports or input ports.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery 101 can specifically be a high-voltage battery. With the development of electric vehicle technology, the requirements for long-range driving are getting higher and higher, so higher requirements are placed on the capacity of the battery, and the battery voltage is also getting higher and higher. Therefore, more and more electric vehicles use high-voltage batteries to provide energy for vehicle driving. The battery 101 in the embodiment of the present application can be a high-voltage battery, which can be suitable for electric vehicles with higher requirements.

[0044] 2. Three-phase bridge arm converter 102;

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 can be specifically a three-phase three-bridge arm converter, or a three-phase four-bridge arm converter, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, when the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 is a three-phase three-bridge arm converter, the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 is composed of three bridge arms, and each bridge arm can be two switch tubes connected in series. The port where the three bridge arms are connected in parallel is the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102, which is used to connect a DC device. In the embodiment of the present application, the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 is connected to the battery 101. The intermediate endpoints of each of the three bridge arms are the three AC ends of the three-phase bridge arm converter 102, which are used to connect the motor coil 104. When AC power passes through the motor coil 104, the corresponding motor is driven.

[0046] In some embodiments, the switching tube used by the three-phase bridge arm converter 102 can be a triode with a parallel diode, a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), etc., which is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] 3. Two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103;

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 can be composed of two bridge arms, and each bridge arm can be composed of two switch tubes connected in series. The parallel end of the two bridge arms is the DC end of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103. The DC end of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 can be connected to the battery 101. The middle endpoints of the two bridge arms are the two AC ends of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103. The two AC ends of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 are connected to the two ends of the secondary winding of the transformer 105.

[0049] In some embodiments, a power factor correction (PFC) inductor is connected in series between an AC end of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 and the secondary winding of the transformer 105 to cooperate with the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 to achieve a boost function.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the switch tube used by the two-phase two-bridge arm converter 103 can be a triode, a MOS tube, an IGBT, etc. connected in parallel with a freewheeling diode, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The type of the switch tube used by the two-phase two-bridge arm converter 103 can be the same as the type of the switch tube used by the three-phase bridge arm converter 102, or it can be different, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0051] 4. Motor coil 104;

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the motor coil 104 is a coil of a motor on an electric vehicle. Specifically, the motor coil 104 may be a stator coil.

[0053] The motor in the embodiment of the present application can be a motor that drives the electric car, or it can be a motor in the compressor of the air conditioner on the electric car. Of course, if there are other similar motors, they are also included in the motors mentioned in the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of motor. In fact, since the power of the air conditioner compressor is equivalent to the power of the electric vehicle AC charger, integrating the charger and the compressor can achieve better utilization.

[0054] 5. Transformer 105;

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the transformer 105 may be an industrial frequency transformer, which is used to isolate the AC charging port 106 from the battery 101 , so that the AC charging port 106 and the battery 101 are not directly electrically connected, which is safer.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the two ends of the secondary winding of the transformer 105 are connected to the two AC ends of the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103, and the primary winding of the transformer 105 is connected to the AC charging port 106, which is used to isolate the AC power input from the AC charging port 106 and transmit it to the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103. Then the two-phase two-bridge-arm converter 103 can convert the AC power into DC power and transmit it to the battery 101, thereby charging the battery 101.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the windings of the transformer 105 and the windings of the motor coil 104 should avoid mutual influence as much as possible. In some embodiments, the transformer 105 and the motor coil 104 are integrated together in a motor, and the two are close to each other. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides an integration method, such as Figure 2 As shown, mutual influence between the winding of the transformer 105 and the winding of the motor coil 104 is avoided. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an integrated method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The motor stator corresponding to the motor coil 104 is coaxially aligned with the transformer core corresponding to the transformer 105, the motor coil is wound on the motor stator, and the primary winding and secondary winding of the transformer 105 are wound on the transformer core, so the influence between the winding of the transformer 105 and the winding of the motor coil 104 is small.

[0058] In some embodiments, an AC filter 107 is provided between the primary winding of the transformer 105 and the AC charging port 106 to filter the AC power input from the AC charging port 106. The AC filter 107 is similar to a conventional AC filter device and will not be described in detail herein.

[0059] In some embodiments, a switch 108 is provided between the primary winding of the transformer 105 and the AC charging port 106 to connect or disconnect the energy conversion device and the AC charging port 106. Figure 1 As shown, the switch 108 can be arranged between one end of the primary winding of the transformer 105 and one port of the AC charging port 106. It is understandable that the AC filter 107 and the switch 108 can be arranged between the primary winding of the transformer 105 and the AC charging port 106 at the same time.

[0060] 6. AC charging port 106;

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the AC charging port 106 is used to connect to the power grid or the AC charging pile. Exemplarily, after the AC charging port 106 is connected to the AC charging pile, the electric energy in the AC charging pile can be input to the energy conversion device through the AC charging port 106 to charge the battery 101.

[0062] It is understandable that the AC charging port 106 can be in the shape of a standard charging port or in the form of a fast charging port. And the protocol supported by the AC charging port 106 can be a standard charging protocol or a fast charging protocol for electric vehicles. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape, size, supported protocols, etc. of the AC charging port 106.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, an AC filter 107 may be provided between the AC charging port 106 and the transformer 105. The AC filter 107 is similar to other AC filtering devices and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, a switch 108 may be provided between the AC charging port 106 and the transformer 105 to control the conduction and disconnection between the AC charging port 106 and the transformer 105 .

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the AC filter 107 and the switch 108 can be provided at the same time, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0066] Figure 3aA schematic diagram of another energy conversion device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The energy conversion device includes a battery 301, a three-phase bridge arm converter 302, a motor coil 303, a transformer 304, and an AC charging port 305; the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 is connected to the battery 301, the AC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 is connected to the motor coil 303, the primary winding of the transformer 304 is connected to the AC charging port 305, and the secondary winding of the transformer 304 is connected to two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302. The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the energy conversion device:

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery 301 is Figure 1 The battery 101 in each corresponding embodiment is similar and will not be described again here.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can be specifically a three-phase three-bridge arm converter, or a three-phase four-bridge arm converter, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, when the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 is a three-phase three-bridge arm converter, the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 is composed of three bridge arms, and each bridge arm can be two switch tubes connected in series. The port where the three bridge arms are connected in parallel is the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302, which is used to connect a DC device. In the embodiment of the present application, the DC end of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 is connected to the battery 301. The intermediate endpoints of each of the three bridge arms are the three AC ends of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302, which are used to connect the motor coil 303. When AC power passes through the motor coil 303, the corresponding motor is driven.

[0069] In some embodiments, the switch tube used by the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can be a triode with a parallel diode, a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), an IGBT, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0070] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can also be used as two bridge arms of the inverter, that is, two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can be connected to the secondary winding of the transformer 304 to invert the DC power at the DC end into AC power and transmit it to the transformer 304. Therefore, the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 in the embodiment of the present application has two functions. One is that it can provide electrical energy to the motor coil 303 as a three-phase inverter through three bridge arms, and the other is that it can transmit electrical energy to the transformer 304 as a two-phase inverter. In actual applications, the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can provide selection for the above two functions through two switch groups (the first switch group 307 and the second switch group 308), such as Figure 3aAs shown, two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 can be connected to the secondary winding of the transformer 304 through the first switch group 307, and connected to the motor coil 303 (specifically, the two windings of the motor coil 303) through the second switch group 308.

[0071] exist Figure 3a In the embodiment, when the energy conversion device is in the AC charging mode, the first switch group 307 can be turned on and the second switch group 308 can be turned off. Then, the AC power inputted by the AC charging port 305 is transformed by the transformer 304, and then converted into DC power by the first switch group 307 and two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 to charge the battery 301. At the same time, since the second switch group 308 is disconnected, the current on the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 will not affect the motor coil 303. When the AC charging port 305 is not connected to the charging pile, but to the electrical equipment, the electric energy in the battery 301 can be converted into AC power by two of the bridge arms of the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 to charge / power the equipment connected to the AC charging port 305. When the energy conversion device is in the motor drive mode, the first switch group 307 can be disconnected and the second switch group 308 can be turned on, so that the electric energy in the battery 301 can be transmitted to the motor coil 303 through the three-phase bridge arm converter 302 and the second switch group 308. However, since the first switch group 307 is disconnected, the electric energy input from the AC charging port cannot enter the three-phase bridge arm converter 302.

[0072] In other embodiments, the energy conversion device may use a trigger K1 and a trigger K2 to replace the first switch group 307 and the second switch group 308, such as Figure 3b As shown.
