[0044] In the fields of photovoltaic, UPS, electric drive, charging pile, communication power supply, aviation power supply, industrial servo, etc., isolated power converters have wide applications. In order to cope with different application scenarios, the controller can be set on the primary side or the secondary side of the power converter as needed. In the application of the power converter, for the reasons of circuit control, application demand, fault protection, etc., current sampling and detection are needed on the non-controller side of the power converter.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown in the schematic diagram of the flyback power converter circuit, the output voltage of the secondary side of the power converter is extracted by using the auxiliary feedback winding of the auxiliary power converter, and the operating mode of the flyback converter is determined by the output voltage, that is, the current detected on the primary side is taken as the control object to realize constant current output on the secondary side. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown in the waveform diagram corresponding to the flyback power converter circuit, the target value of the output current is compared with the primary side current and the duty cycle information, and the duty cycle signal is generated after the PID module to drive the main switch tube and the auxiliary switch tube of the snubber circuit, thereby realizing constant current control of the secondary side current. Here, sampling resistors, current sensors and other components need to be introduced into the power converter circuit, and the power converter has the problem of high production and maintenance cost.

[0046] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, three first variables are determined; the three first variables include a voltage on the power converter controller side, a current on the power converter controller side, and a voltage on the power converter non-controller side; based on the three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter, a second variable is determined; the second variable represents a current on the power converter non-controller side and / or a parameter associated with the current on the power converter non-controller side; in the case where the determined second variable meets a set adjustment condition, at least one control parameter of the power converter is adjusted. In the above scheme, according to the voltage on the power converter controller side, the current on the power converter controller side, and the voltage on the power converter non-controller side, based on at least one component parameter of the power converter, the current on the power converter non-controller side and / or the parameter associated with the current on the power converter non-controller side are determined, compared with the scheme of increasing components in the circuit in the related art, the above scheme does not need to increase current sampling and other components in the circuit, thereby improving the reliability of the power converter, reducing the production and maintenance cost of the power converter. Moreover, the components of the power converter circuit are reduced, the board area of the power converter is reduced, and the failure probability is reduced.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0048] The following is described taking a forward PWM type power converter shown in the drawings as an example. It should be understood that for flyback PWM type power converters, full-bridge power converters, half-bridge power converters and other types of power converters, the same or similar power converter control method can be used to achieve the same or similar power converter control method, which will not be described here. Figure 3

[0049] Figure 4 The implementation flowchart of the power converter control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application provide a power converter control method, which comprises:

[0050] Step 401: determining three first variables.

[0051] The three first variables include a voltage on the power converter controller side, a current on the power converter controller side, and a voltage on the power converter non-controller side.

[0052] The power converter can be an isolated power converter.

[0053] ​The three first variables include the voltage on the controller side of the power converter, which can be determined based on the sampled voltage on the controller side of the power converter or real-time detection parameters capable of representing the voltage on the controller side. The three first variables include the current on the controller side of the power converter, which can be determined based on the sampled current on the controller side of the power converter or real-time detection parameters capable of representing the current on the controller side. The three first variables also include the voltage on the non-controller side of the power converter, which can be determined based on the sampled voltage on the non-controller side of the power converter or real-time detection parameters capable of representing the voltage on the non-controller side.

[0054] According to the circuit configuration of the power converter, in some embodiments, the voltage on the controller side of the power converter, the current on the controller side of the power converter and / or the voltage on the non-controller side of the power converter are obtained by sampling.

[0055] Here, some or all of the three first variables can be obtained by sampling circuits or other sampling methods, that is, at least one of the first variables can be obtained by sampling. Preferably, in the circuit configuration of the power converter, when at least one of the first variables is not provided with a corresponding sampling circuit, it can be calculated based on other sampling results. For example, in the case where the voltage on the non-controller side is not sampled, the voltage on the non-controller side can be determined by calculation.

[0056] The sampling results of at least one of the first variables are input into the controller.

[0057] Step 402: determining a second variable based on the three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter.

[0058] The second variable represents the current on the non-controller side of the power converter and / or at least one parameter associated with the current on the non-controller side of the power converter.

[0059] Based on the determined three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter, at least one parameter associated with the current on the non-controller side of the power converter and / or the current on the non-controller side of the power converter is determined. The at least one parameter associated with the current on the non-controller side of the power converter, that is, the current on the non-controller side of the power converter and / or the parameter associated with the current on the non-controller side of the power converter, can be the peak-to-peak value, average value, maximum value, minimum value, effective value of the current, or the peak-to-peak value, average value, maximum value, minimum value, effective value of the power, etc. Here, including but not limited to: secondary side current ripple, minimum current corresponding to the secondary side, peak current corresponding to the secondary side, minimum current corresponding to the primary side, maximum current corresponding to the primary side, average current corresponding to the primary side.

[0060] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, based on the three first variables and the at least one component parameter of the power converter, one or more of the following parameters can also be determined: the inductance of the non-controller side of the power converter, the magnetization time, the magnetization current, the secondary side current off time, and the secondary side zero current time.

[0061] In some embodiments, the at least one component parameter of the power converter includes at least one of:

[0062] The magnetizing inductance of the power converter;

[0063] The turns ratio of the primary side and the secondary side of the power converter;

[0064] The output diode voltage drop;

[0065] The switching frequency;

[0066] The switching period.

[0067] Here, the magnetizing inductance of the power converter is the inductance of the primary side of the power converter. The magnetizing inductance can be determined according to the controller side inductance of the power converter. When the controller is arranged on the primary side of the power converter, the controller side inductance of the power converter is the magnetizing inductance. When the controller is arranged on the secondary side of the power converter, the magnetizing inductance can be determined by the ratio of the controller side inductance of the power converter to the square of the turns ratio of the primary side and the secondary side of the power converter.

[0068] Step 403: If the determined second variable meets the set adjustment condition, adjust at least one control parameter of the power converter.

[0069] According to the actual application needs of the power converter, set a corresponding adjustment condition for each of the at least one second variable. If the determined second variable meets the set adjustment condition, adjust at least one control parameter of the power converter.

[0070] In some embodiments, the adjustment of the at least one control parameter of the power converter includes:

[0071] Adjusting the duty cycle and / or the switching frequency of the controller of the power converter.

[0072] Here, the precise control of the current of the non-controller side and the parameters associated with the current of the non-controller side can be achieved by adjusting the duty cycle and / or the switching power of the controller of the power converter.

[0073] Thus, by adjusting at least one control parameter of the power converter, the current parameters of the power converter can be controlled, including but not limited to constant current, overcurrent, ripple, frequency, constant power, peak power, peak current. And after adjusting at least one control parameter of the power converter, at least one first variable can be re-determined, and the corresponding second variable can be re-determined, to achieve real-time control of the current parameters of the power converter.

[0074] In some embodiments, the power converter control method is applied to an electrical device.

[0075] Preferably, the power converter control method is applied to a power supply, and the power supply includes the power converter.

[0076] Preferably, the calculation and adjustment can be performed by a controller of the power converter.

[0077] In various embodiments of the present application, based on at least one component parameter of the power converter, the current on the non-controller side of the power converter and / or a parameter associated with the current on the non-controller side of the power converter are determined according to the voltage on the controller side of the power converter, the current on the controller side of the power converter, and the voltage on the non-controller side of the power converter, compared with the related art scheme of increasing components in the circuit, the above scheme does not need to increase current sampling components in the circuit, thereby improving the reliability of the power converter, reducing the production and maintenance cost of the power converter. And, the components of the power converter circuit are reduced, the board area of the power converter is reduced, and the failure probability is reduced.

[0078] In some embodiments, the determination of the second variable based on the three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter includes:

[0079] determining the secondary side current ripple based on the product of the first ratio and the first difference; wherein,

[0080] The first ratio represents the ratio of the magnetization time to the excitation inductance of the power converter; the first difference represents the difference between the first product and the first sum; the first product represents the product of the turns ratio of the primary side and the secondary side of the power converter and the primary side voltage of the power converter; and the first sum represents the sum of the output diode voltage drop and the secondary side voltage of the power converter.

[0081] Here, the secondary side current ripple I ripple The formula (1) can be obtained as follows:

[0082]

[0083] wherein,

[0084] L pLm represents the magnetizing inductance of the power converter, i.e. the primary side inductance of the power converter; t1 represents the magnetization time; V in V represents the primary side voltage of the power converter; V out V represents the secondary side voltage of the power converter; V f n represents the output diode voltage drop; n p Np represents the primary side number of turns of the power converter; n s Ns represents the secondary side number of turns of the power converter.

[0085] Here, the controller side inductance is a set value. When the controller is set at the primary side of the power converter, the controller side inductance is the magnetizing inductance Lm of the power converter. p When the controller is set at the secondary side of the power converter, the magnetizing inductance Lm of the power converter is p It can be obtained by formula (2):

[0086]

[0087] wherein,

[0088] L s Ls represents the secondary side inductance of the power converter.

[0089] After determining the secondary side current ripple I ripple The minimum current I sec,min It can be obtained by formula (3):

[0090]

[0091] wherein,

[0092] I out Iout represents the output current average value, which can be calculated at least according to the controller side current, without limitation.

[0093] The peak current I sec,max It can be obtained by formula (4):

[0094]

[0095] The minimum current I pri,min It can be obtained by formula (5):

[0096]

[0097] The maximum current I pri,max It can be obtained by formula (6):

[0098]

[0099] wherein the magnetizing current I mag may be obtained by equation (7):

[0100]

[0101] the average current I in,avg may be obtained by equation (8):

[0102]

[0103] In some embodiments, the determining the second variable based on the three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter comprises:

[0104] determining the operation mode of the power converter based on the current at the controller side of the power converter;

[0105] determining the second variable according to the operation mode of the power converter based on the three first variables and at least one component parameter of the power converter.

[0106] Here, the operation mode of the power converter includes a continuous conduction mode (CCM) and a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). As Figure 5 the minimum value of the corresponding inductor current in the charging and discharging period is greater than 0, it is determined that the power converter is currently operating in the CCM mode. As Figure 6 the minimum value of the corresponding inductor current in the charging and discharging period is equal to 0, it is determined that the power converter is currently operating in the DCM mode.

[0107] As mentioned above, one or more of the following parameters can be determined: magnetizing time, magnetizing current, secondary side current off time, secondary side zero current time.

[0108] wherein the magnetizing current I mag may be obtained by equation (7).

[0109] When the power converter is operating in the CCM mode, the magnetizing time t1 corresponding to the operation mode of the power converter can be determined.

[0110] The magnetizing time t1 can be obtained by equation (9):

[0111]

[0112] wherein,

[0113] f switch is a characteristic of the switching frequency.

[0114] When the power converter operates in the DCM mode, the running mode of the power converter can be determined corresponding to the magnetization time t1, the secondary side current off time t2, and the secondary side zero current time t3.

[0115] The magnetization time t1 can be obtained by formula (10):

[0116]

[0117] The secondary side current off time t2 can be obtained by formula (11):

[0118]

[0119] The secondary side zero current time t3 can be obtained by formula (12):

[0120]

[0121] Here, the input condition can be the inductance of the controller side of the power converter, the switching frequency or the switching period, the real-time detection value of the control side voltage or other real-time detection values related to the physical quantity, the turns ratio of the primary side and the secondary side of the power converter, the real-time detection value of the non-control side voltage or other real-time detection values related to the physical quantity, the real-time current detection value of the controller side or other real-time detection values related to the physical quantity. The output condition can be a parameter related to the current of the non-control side.

[0122] According to formula (1) to formula (12), only the current waveform of the controller side in each switching period is known, the current waveform of the non-controller side can be determined, and the current-related parameter and the physical quantity can be obtained.

[0123] It should be noted that formula (1) to formula (12) are the relationships of the forward PWM type power converter, and for other types of power converters such as flyback PWM type power converter, full-bridge power converter, half-bridge power converter, etc. can be correspondingly set, which will not be repeated here.

[0124] The application will be further described in detail in combination with the application examples.

[0125] At present, in order to achieve the corresponding control purpose, for example, current protection, constant current control, constant power control, current display, the current is sampled by using a sampling resistor and a current sensor on the non-controller side of the power converter, and the current is transmitted to the controller side of the power converter by using an isolator, and the current is processed by the controller.

[0126] Based on this,Figure 7 A flowchart of a power converter control method provided by the application is shown. The controller detects the controller-side voltage, the controller-side current, and the non-controller-side voltage. According to known parameters of the power converter design, such as inductance, turns ratio, and filter parameters such as output diode voltage drop, the running mode of the current power converter is determined. According to different running modes (CCM and DCM), theoretical calculations are performed, the current waveform is analyzed, and the actual parameters of the non-controller-side (i.e., the isolated side of the power converter) current are extracted and derived. Then, according to the actual parameters of the current obtained, the duty cycle and / or switching frequency of the controller are adjusted to achieve precise control of the current and related parameters of the non-controller-side.

[0127] Here, the specific theoretical calculation relationship is shown in equations (1) to (12).

[0128] For Figure 3 The forward PWM power converter shown can be divided into four functional units according to the functions achieved, as shown in Figure 8 The signal detection unit is used to detect the controller-side voltage, the controller-side current, and the non-controller-side voltage. The parameter unit is used to determine the known parameters of the power converter design, including inductance, secondary inductance, and turns ratio of the primary and secondary sides. The calculation unit is used for running mode analysis and current analysis calculation. The control unit is used to adjust the duty cycle and / or switching frequency.

[0129] The application embodiment accurately calculates, extracts, and infers the inferred isolated-side current (i.e., the non-controller-side current) and related physical quantities such as peak-to-peak value, average value, maximum value, minimum value, and effective value of power, etc. by sampling and detecting information (controller-side current, controller-side voltage), according to the relationship between the known parameters of the control system power converter design and the currents on both sides of the isolated power converter. Not only for low-voltage side current, but also for all non-controller-side current detection. The application embodiment provides an accurate detection and control method for non-isolated-side current-related parameters with low cost and high reliability.

[0130] The beneficial effects of the application embodiment include but are not limited to:

[0131] 1) Without using isolator devices, current sampling devices, and signal modulation devices, precise control of output current and related physical quantities is achieved, reducing the number of power converter devices, reducing the space, and improving long-term reliability.

[0132] 2) Using control-side computing resources, more current information can be obtained. Compared with traditional modulated signals, more signal parameters are obtained, with higher degrees of freedom, which can more truly reflect power converter running information and achieve control targets.

[0133] The application embodiment can realize the detection and control method of the current on the non-controller side of the forward converter, without using sampling resistors, current sensors, signal modulation, isolation transmission and other components, to realize accurate monitoring of the current on the non-controller side and current-related parameter control in the case of reducing design cost. Here, the current-related parameters include but are not limited to constant current, overcurrent, ripple, frequency, constant power, peak power, peak current and other indicators.

[0134] In an application embodiment, as shown in the current signal transmission schematic diagram, the current on the non-controller side is processed to obtain the required parameter information, and then sent to the control unit. Figure 9

[0135] In an application embodiment, as shown in the current signal transmission schematic diagram, the current on the non-controller side is processed to obtain the required parameter information, and then sent to the control unit. Figure 10

[0136] In an application embodiment, the voltage and current on the primary side can also be used to calculate the power, and then the secondary side current can be calculated in real time according to the relationship between the efficiency and the output voltage.
