[0060] The first switch network 102 includes a first main switch S1, a second main switch S2, a second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and a first auxiliary switch Ssub1 which are sequentially connected in series between the positive bus V+ and the negative bus V-; the second switch network 103 includes a third main switch S3, a fourth main switch S4, a fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 and a third auxiliary switch Ssub3 which are sequentially connected in series between the positive bus V+ and the negative bus V-; a first end of the first bus capacitor Cbus1 is electrically connected to the positive bus V+, a second end of the first bus capacitor Cbus1 is electrically connected to a first end of the second bus capacitor Cbus2, and a second end of the second bus capacitor Cbus2 is electrically connected to the negative bus V-;

[0061] The first output end of the first anti-backflow module D1 is connected between the first main switch S1 and the second main switch S2, and the second output end of the first anti-backflow module D1 is connected between the third main switch S3 and the fourth main switch S4. The first anti-backflow module D1 is used to prevent current from flowing from its output end to its input end;

[0062] The first input end of the second backflow prevention module D2 is connected between the first auxiliary switch Ssub1 and the second auxiliary switch Ssub2, and the second input end of the second backflow prevention module D2 is connected between the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4. The second backflow prevention module is used to prevent current from flowing from its output end to its input end;

[0063] A first input end of the first electromagnetic isolation module T1 is connected between the first main switch S1 and the second main switch S2, a second input end of the first electromagnetic isolation module T1 is connected between the first auxiliary switch Ssub1 and the second auxiliary switch Ssub2, a first output end of the first electromagnetic isolation module T1 is electrically connected to a first input end of the second filter network 104, and a second output end of the first electromagnetic isolation module T1 is electrically connected to a second output end of the second electromagnetic isolation module T2;

[0064] A first input end of the second electromagnetic isolation module T2 is connected between the third main switch S3 and the fourth main switch S4, a second input end of the second electromagnetic isolation module T2 is connected between the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4, and a first output end of the second electromagnetic isolation module T2 is electrically connected to a second input end of the second filter network 104;

[0065] The first output terminal and the second output terminal of the second filter network 104 serve as output terminals of the power conversion device.

[0066] Specifically, the first filtering module 101 can be used to filter the signal generated by the DC power supply Uin, the first backflow prevention module D1 can prevent the current between the first main switch S1 and the second main switch S2 from flowing between the third main switch S3 and the fourth main switch S4; the second backflow prevention module D2 can prevent the current between the first auxiliary switch Ssub1 and the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 from flowing between the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4; the first main switch S1, the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the fourth main switch S4, the first auxiliary switch Ssub1, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2, the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 can all be turned on or off under the control signal input from their respective control ends. In this embodiment, the state of each switch can be controlled so that the voltage between the two input ends of the second filtering network 104 (the voltage between the first node N and the second node L) includes three levels, and then the harmonics are filtered out through the filtering action of the second filtering network 104, so as to obtain a relatively pure AC signal on the external load R. Exemplarily, for example, when the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 are turned on and the other switches are turned off, the first bus capacitor Cbus1 and the second bus capacitor Cbus2 can provide energy to the output side through the third main switch S3, the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the second electromagnetic isolation module T2, and the potential difference VNL between the first node N and the second node L is the bus voltage -Vbus = -(Vcbus1 + Vcbus2); the first bus capacitor Csub1 and the second bus capacitor Csub2 are both large enough, and the voltage ripple can be ignored, and Vcubs1 = Vcbus2 = (1 / 2) Vbus, where, Vcubs1 is the voltage across the first bus capacitor Cbus1, and Vcbus2 is the voltage across the second bus capacitor Cbus2; when the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 are turned on and other switches are turned off, VNL can be obtained to be equal to -Vcubs1; when the second main switch S2, the fourth main switch S4, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 are turned on and other switches are turned off, the VNL potential difference is clamped to zero; that is, the voltage between the first node N and the second node L has three states of -Vbus, -(1 / 2)Vbus and 0, that is, the circuit realizes the output voltage three-level function. Compared with the simple circuit structure of the three-level power conversion device such as the diode clamp, the traditional two-stage structure needs to realize the midpoint voltage clamping of the front stage and the rear stage and other controls at the same time, and the control structure is complicated; while the power conversion device of this embodiment only needs to realize the control of one-stage power conversion, and the control structure is simple, thereby reducing the design cost of the power conversion device and improving the cost performance and integration of the power conversion device.

[0067] The technical solution of this embodiment uses a power conversion device to control the conduction state of each switch, thereby controlling the power conversion device to switch between three output levels, that is, it can achieve three-level output, and because there is no need for diodes for mid-point voltage clamping of the front stage and the rear stage, only one-stage power conversion control needs to be implemented, and the control structure is simple, thereby reducing the design cost of the power conversion device and improving the cost performance and integration of the power conversion device.

[0068] Exemplarily, the first filtering network 101 includes a first capacitor Cin and a first inductor Lin, the first end of the first capacitor Cin serves as the first input end of the first filtering network 101, the second end of the first capacitor Cin serves as the second input end and the second output end of the first filtering network 101, the first end of the first capacitor Cin is electrically connected to the first end of the first inductor Lin, and the second end of the first inductor Lin serves as the first output end of the first filtering network 101; and / or, the second filtering network 104 includes a second inductor Lo and a second capacitor Lo, the first end of the second inductor Lo serves as the first input end of the second filtering network 104, the second end of the second inductor Lo is electrically connected to the first end of the second capacitor Co, the second end of the second inductor Lo serves as the first output end of the second filtering network 104, and the second end of the second capacitor Co serves as the second output end of the second filtering network 104.

[0069] Specifically, the first filter network 101 and the second filter network 104 in this embodiment can both use LC filter circuits. The LC filter circuit has the advantages of high stability, good filtering effect, low DC loss, etc., which can be more conducive to the stable operation of the power conversion device.

[0070] Optionally, the first anti-backflow module D1 includes a first diode D11 and a second diode D12, the anode of the first diode D11 is electrically connected to the anode of the second diode D12 as the input end of the first anti-backflow module D1, the cathode of the first diode D11 is used as the first output end of the first anti-backflow module D1, and the cathode of the second diode D12 is used as the second output end of the first anti-backflow module D1; and / or, the second anti-backflow module D2 includes a third diode D21 and a fourth diode D22, the cathode of the third diode D21 is electrically connected to the cathode of the fourth diode D22 as the output end of the second anti-backflow module D2, the anode of the third diode D21 is used as the first input end of the second anti-backflow module D2, and the anode of the fourth diode D22 is used as the second input end of the second anti-backflow module D2. The first electromagnetic isolation module T1 is a first transformer, and / or, the second electromagnetic isolation module T2 is a second transformer.

[0071] Specifically, a diode has a unidirectional conduction function, and has the advantages of low cost and good stability. Using a diode as an anti-backflow module can further improve the stability of the power conversion device and reduce the overall cost of the power conversion device.

[0072] The working process of the power conversion device is described in detail below; Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A modulation waveform diagram of a power conversion device provided in an embodiment of the present invention may correspond to the first time period of a positive half cycle of a sine wave. In this embodiment, the positive half cycle of a sine wave is divided into three time periods, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the potential difference between the first node and the second node; wherein, PositionA corresponds to the first time period, PositionB and PositionC correspond to the second time period and the third time period, and when the modulation wave changes, the time proportion of the first time period, the second time period and the third time period may change.

[0073] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first modulation wave signal Vsine, the first carrier signal Vtri1, the second modulation wave signal Vdc and the reference ground signal (not shown) can be provided first, and then the above signals are passed through a logic circuit such as a comparator to generate a first sinusoidal pulse width signal Vspwm1, a first fixed pulse width signal Vpwm1, and a zero-crossing detection signal Vzero (not shown), and the output drive signals Vgs1 to Vgs4 of the first to fourth main switches are generated through a combination logic (which will be described in detail later). Similarly, the second sinusoidal pulse width signal Vspwm2, the second fixed pulse width signal Vpwm2 and the zero-crossing detection signal Vzero can be generated through a logic circuit such as a comparator through the first modulation wave signal Vsine, the second carrier signal Vtri2, the second modulation wave signal Vdc and the reference ground signal of the switch control module, and the drive signals Vgsub1 to Vgsub4 of the first to fourth three auxiliary switches are generated by the combination logic. Here, the high level conduction of each switch is taken as an example for explanation. Among them, the first modulation wave signal Vsine is a sine wave, and its frequency can be adjusted according to the frequency required by the output load. If the power conversion device is finally to be connected to the mains, the frequency of the first modulation wave signal Vsine can be set to 50Hz; the second modulation wave signal Vdc is a DC signal, and the first carrier signal Vtri1 and the second carrier signal Vtri2 are both sawtooth waves, and their frequencies are much greater than the frequency of the first modulation wave signal Vsine. For example, the frequencies of the first carrier signal Vtri1 and the second carrier signal Vtri2 are both greater than 100kHz.
