[0037] The high-frequency transformer group includes a first high-frequency transformer T1 and a second high-frequency transformer T2; the positive terminal of the secondary side of the first high-frequency transformer T1 is connected to the common terminal of the first rectifier diode D1 and the second rectifier diode D2, the negative terminal of the secondary side of the first high-frequency transformer T1 is connected in series with the positive terminal of the secondary side of the second high-frequency transformer T2, and the negative terminal of the secondary side of the second high-frequency transformer T2 is connected to the common terminal of the third rectifier diode D3 and the fourth rectifier diode D4.
[0038] During operation, the converter can smoothly switch between low-voltage and high-voltage modes.
[0039] When the converter operates in low-voltage mode, the equivalent circuit of the converter is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are complementary, conducting with a duty cycle of 0.5. The fourth switch S4 has a duty cycle of 0. The drive signal of the third switch S3 remains stable at a high level within one cycle. The second high-frequency transformer T2 cannot transfer energy to the secondary side, so only one half-bridge is operating on the primary side. The duty cycle of the fifth switch S5 on the secondary side is 0, the bidirectional switch is normally closed, and the rectifier bridge operates constantly in full-bridge rectification mode. At this time, the transformer output voltage is at its lowest, U... 0-min =100V.
[0040] When the converter operates in high-voltage mode, the converter and its downstream circuits, such as Figure 3 As shown. The first switch S1 and the second switch S2 conduct complementaryly with a duty cycle of 0.5, and the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 also conduct complementaryly with a duty cycle of 0.5. Furthermore, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 conduct simultaneously, and the second switch S2 and the fourth switch S4 conduct simultaneously. Both half-bridges on the primary side operate simultaneously. On the secondary side, the sixth bidirectional switch S6 and the fifth switch S5 have the same drive signal as the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 on the primary side, respectively. The bidirectional switches are normally open, and the rectifier bridge operates constantly in voltage doubler rectification mode. At this time, the transformer output voltage is at its highest, U... 0-max =380V.
[0041] When the converter output voltage switches from low voltage to high voltage, the converter control signal is as follows: Figure 4The first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are complementarily turned on with a duty ratio of 0.5. The third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 of the lower half-bridge are complementarily turned on, and the duty ratio of the fourth switch S4 is D, and the regulation range of D is 0-0.5. Meanwhile, the third switch S3 has the same phase as the third switch S1, the fourth switch S4 is turned off at the same time as the second switch S2, the sixth switch S6 and the fifth switch S5 of the secondary side double-direction switch have the same driving signals as the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4, respectively. Under the control of the control signals, the pulse width of the high level of the input voltage of the resonant tank of the lower half-bridge becomes narrower with the increase of the duty ratio D, the secondary side rectification network works in the mixed rectification mode of full-bridge and voltage doubling, and the output voltage gradually increases.
[0042] As shown in Figure 5 the LLC resonant converter voltage gain and the duty ratio D in the application are shown in the figure. In the low output voltage mode, the minimum voltage gain G of the LLC resonant converter is nU 0-min / U in =0.46, corresponding to the duty ratio D=0; in the high output voltage mode, the minimum voltage gain G of the LLC resonant converter is nU 0-max / U in =1.92, corresponding to the duty ratio D=0.5. With the increase of the duty ratio D, the voltage gain gradually increases, and the corresponding output voltage gradually increases.

Lm The circulating current (the resonant current i Lr and the magnetizing current i Lm overlap) of the converter in the application under different duty ratios is almost 0, so that the circulating current conduction loss in the circuit can be well reduced.
[0044] As shown in Figure 7 the output voltage variation curve of the converter obtained in the application for a design example. The design input voltage is 160V, the resonant frequency is set to 100kHz, the rated output power is 1kW, the resonant capacitance C r1 =C r2 =147nF, the resonant inductance L r1 =L r2 =17.2uH, the magnetizing inductance L m1 =L m2 =172uH, the output filter capacitance C o1 =C O2= 40uF, and the transformer turns ratio n is 0.8. As shown in the figure, the converter of the application realizes smooth switching of the output voltage of the converter from 100V to 380V under the change of the duty cycle D.
[0045] The induced voltage formula of the transformer is:
[0046] E = 4.44nfphi m (1)
[0047] wherein E is the effective value of the induced voltage, f is the working frequency of the transformer, n is the turns, phi is the main magnetic m As can be seen from formula (1), under the same core material and power capacity, the higher the working frequency of the transformer, the smaller the volume and weight.
[0048] The switching frequency of the converter designed in the application is fixed at 100kHz, which is twice the lowest switching frequency of the traditional frequency conversion control LLC resonant converter. Therefore, the volume of the resonant inductor and the isolation transformer of the converter is greatly reduced, and the converter is suitable for occasions with wide output voltage and high power density.
[0049] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the application. Those skilled in the art of the application can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar ways, without deviating from the spirit of the application or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
