It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0024] This invention provides a voltage regulation circuit. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the voltage regulation circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 1 The voltage regulation circuit 100 includes a rectifier module 101, a signal generation module 102, and an output control module 103. The input terminal of the rectifier module 101 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104 of the generator, and the output terminal of the rectifier module 101 is connected to the first terminal of the excitation winding 106 of the generator, for providing an excitation signal to the excitation winding 106 of the generator. The rectifier module 101 is a bridge rectifier and filter circuit. The signal generation module 102 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104 and the current output terminal 105 of the generator, respectively, for determining the initial control signal based on the sampled voltage and sampled current. The output control module 103 is connected to the signal generation module 102 and the second terminal of the excitation winding 106 of the generator, for converting the initial control signal into a pulse width modulation signal and outputting it to the second terminal of the excitation winding 106 to adjust the excitation voltage acting on both ends of the excitation winding 106.

[0025] Specifically, the rectifier module 101 is a rectifier and filter circuit for the generator, which converts the AC signal from the generator's voltage output terminal 104 into a unidirectional electrical signal, which is then used as the excitation signal for the generator's excitation winding 106. For example, the rectifier module 101 is a bridge rectifier and filter circuit, which converts the AC voltage into a full-wave rectified voltage. The excitation signal is output in four pulses per cycle, effectively controlling the voltage drop during motor startup and achieving full-wave rectification. The signal generation module 102 is an initial control signal generation circuit that can acquire the generator's supply voltage and current, and generate an initial control signal based on the sampled voltage and current. The sampled voltage can be the generator's stator voltage (i.e., the supply voltage), and the sampled current can be the generator's droop current (also known as the DROOP current). The initial control signal can control the operating state of the output control module 103 to adjust the excitation signal passing through the excitation winding 106. The output control module 103 can be an excitation signal adjustment module, which can convert the initial control signal into a pulse width modulation signal and output it to the second end of the excitation winding 106 to adjust the parameters of the excitation signal and prevent the phenomenon of starting failure caused by a large voltage drop caused by starting the motor. The parameters of the excitation signal can be parameters related to the motor starting capability, such as the amplitude of the excitation current or the amplitude of the excitation voltage.

[0026] The voltage regulation circuit provided in this embodiment includes a rectifier module, a signal generation module, and an output control module. The rectifier module is a bridge rectifier and filter circuit that can output an excitation signal with 4 pulses per cycle, which is much greater than that of traditional automatic voltage regulators. The signal generation module can generate an initial control signal based on the generator's droop current and the supply voltage. The initial control signal includes amplitude information. The output control module can generate a pulse width modulation signal based on the initial control signal. The pulse width modulation signal is used to adjust the parameters of the excitation signal in the excitation winding to achieve automatic control of the generator's excitation voltage. The rectifier module can output 4 pulses per cycle, which is much greater than the 1 pulse output during half-wave rectification in traditional automatic voltage regulators. This effectively controls the voltage drop during generator startup, improving control efficiency and effectiveness.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another voltage regulation circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, referred to... Figure 2Optionally, the signal generation module 102 includes a low-frequency detection circuit 201, a mixing circuit 202, and a calculation circuit 203. The low-frequency detection circuit 201 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104 of the generator and is used to determine the relative relationship between the frequency value of the sampled voltage and the preset frequency value, and further generate an initial control signal, a first amplitude adjustment signal. The mixing circuit 202 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104, the current output terminal 105, and the low-frequency detection circuit 201 of the generator, respectively, and is used to determine the amplitude value of the excitation signal based on the sampled voltage value, the sampled current value, and the first amplitude adjustment signal. The calculation circuit 203 is connected to the mixing circuit 202 and the output control module 103, respectively, and is used to generate an initial control signal based on the amplitude value and the preset reference voltage.

[0028] Specifically, low-frequency protection is designed to address potential low-frequency resonance in generators. Generator blades have natural oscillation frequencies. If the generator's operating frequency approaches or equals its natural frequency, resonance will occur, leading to material fatigue. Since material fatigue is an irreversible cumulative process, when the accumulated fatigue exceeds the material's allowable limit, the blades may break, causing serious accidents. Therefore, a preset frequency value needs to be set. When the frequency of the generator's sampled voltage is less than the preset frequency value, the amplitude of the excitation voltage is reduced based on the difference between the preset frequency value and the sampled voltage frequency value, thus achieving excitation protection for the generator. Therefore, the low-frequency detection circuit 201 is connected to the generator's voltage output terminal 104. It can collect the frequency value of the sampled voltage and compare it with the preset frequency value. If the frequency value of the sampled voltage is less than the preset frequency value, the difference between the preset frequency value and the sampled voltage frequency value is calculated. Then, a first amplitude adjustment signal is generated based on the voltage drop rate and transmitted to the hybrid circuit 202. The first amplitude adjustment signal may include the voltage drop value. The voltage drop rate is the decrease in excitation voltage when the sampled voltage frequency value is lower than the preset frequency value by one hertz, measured in V / Hz. For example, the generator's sampling voltage can be 110-260VAC, the voltage drop rate can be 12V / Hz, and the preset frequency value can be 46Hz. The hybrid circuit 202 can determine the amplitude value of the excitation signal based on the sampling voltage and the first amplitude adjustment signal. The arithmetic circuit 203 can perform comparison, differentiation, and / or integration operations based on the amplitude value and the preset reference voltage to generate an initial control signal.

[0029] The signal generation module in the voltage regulation circuit provided in this embodiment includes a low-frequency detection circuit, a hybrid circuit, and an arithmetic circuit. The low-frequency detection circuit can perform low-frequency protection judgment based on the frequency of the generator's sampled voltage. If the frequency of the sampled voltage is less than a preset frequency value, a first amplitude adjustment signal is generated. The hybrid circuit can determine the amplitude value of the excitation signal based on the first amplitude adjustment signal and the sampled voltage. The arithmetic circuit can perform comparison, differentiation, and / or integration operations based on the amplitude value and a preset reference voltage to generate an initial control signal. This realizes the generation of the initial control signal and low-frequency protection for the engine, improving the safety and reliability of the generator.

Figure 3 Optionally, the voltage regulation circuit 100 further includes an auxiliary signal interface 301 and a power supply module 302. The auxiliary signal interface 301 is used to receive external auxiliary signals, including potential signals. The mixing circuit 202 is also connected to the auxiliary signal interface 301 and is used to adjust the amplitude value according to the external auxiliary signal. The input terminal of the power supply module 302 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104 of the generator, and the reference voltage output terminal of the power supply module 302 is connected to the arithmetic circuit 203 to convert the sampled voltage into a reference voltage and provide it to the arithmetic circuit 203.

[0031] Specifically, the auxiliary signal interface 301 is an input interface for external auxiliary signals. It can connect to at least one of an external adjustable potentiometer, voltage adjustment knob, stability adjustment knob, and low-frequency protection adjustment knob. It can receive at least one of a potential signal, voltage adjustment signal, stability adjustment signal, and low-frequency protection setting signal. The hybrid circuit 202 can adjust the amplitude of the excitation signal according to the potential signal, adjust the voltage value of the generator's sampled voltage according to the voltage adjustment signal, adjust the stability of the excitation signal according to the stability adjustment signal, and modify the preset frequency value of the low-frequency protection circuit according to the low-frequency protection setting signal. The power supply module 302 can be an AC / DC conversion circuit and a reference voltage circuit. It can convert the sampled voltage to DC voltage and step it down to a preset reference voltage to provide a reference voltage for the operational circuit 203. It can also provide power at various voltage levels for various modules. The auxiliary signal interface 301 and the power supply module 302 enable the adjustment of generators with various output voltage levels, improving the adaptability of the voltage regulation circuit 100.

The modulation signal unit 401 is connected to the control terminals of the signal generation module 102 and the switching transistor Q, respectively, and is used to modulate the initial control signal into a pulse width modulation signal and transmit it to the control terminal of the switching transistor Q. The first terminal of the switching transistor Q is connected to the second terminal of the excitation winding 106 of the generator, and the second terminal of the switching transistor Q is grounded. The switching transistor Q is used to adjust the excitation signal passing through the excitation winding 106 according to the duty cycle and amplitude of the pulse width modulation signal.

[0033] Specifically, the modulation signal unit 401 includes a modulation circuit 402 and an output drive circuit 403. The modulation circuit 402 can be a pulse width modulation circuit 402, which is connected to the signal generation module 102 and is used to generate a pulse width modulation signal based on an initial control signal and a preset sawtooth wave. The output drive circuit 403 can be a control circuit, which is connected to both the modulation circuit 402 and the control terminal of the switching transistor Q, and is used to control the connection / disconnection between the modulation circuit 402 and the control terminal of the switching transistor Q, i.e., to control the start or stop output of the pulse width modulation signal.

[0034] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The output control module 103 also includes an overcurrent protection circuit 404, which is connected to the second terminal of the switching transistor Q. It is used to determine whether an overcurrent has occurred based on the relative relationship between the current passing through the switching transistor Q and the preset current, and to generate an overcurrent judgment result. The output drive circuit 403 is also connected to the current protection circuit, and is used to control the output and cutoff of the control signal based on the judgment result.

[0035] Specifically, the overcurrent protection circuit 404 may include a current sensing element, which can be positioned between the second terminal of the switching transistor Q and the ground terminal. This element can collect the current passing through the switching transistor Q and determine its relative relationship with a preset current. The overcurrent protection circuit 404 may also include a thermal fuse positioned between the second terminal of the switching transistor Q and the ground terminal. If the current through the switching transistor Q exceeds the preset current, the overcurrent protection circuit 404 determines that an overcurrent has occurred in the generator and generates an overcurrent signal output value for the drive circuit 403. The drive output circuit can control the pulse width modulation signal to stop outputting and generate a signal based on the overcurrent signal. The thermal fuse can also blow when the current through the switching transistor Q exceeds the preset current, thus achieving overcurrent protection for the generator excitation winding 106 and isolation protection for various modules and circuits in the voltage regulation circuit, further improving the safety of the voltage regulation circuit.

The sawtooth wave generator 502 is connected to the frequency multiplier circuit 501 and the modulation circuit 402 respectively and is used to generate a sawtooth wave signal of the same frequency from the frequency multiplier signal.

[0037] Specifically, the fourth-harmonic generation circuit 501 can be a frequency signal generation circuit that generates a fourth-harmonic electrical signal based on the frequency of the sampled voltage. The sawtooth wave generator 502 can be a sawtooth wave generation circuit that converts the fourth-harmonic electrical signal into a sawtooth wave signal and transmits it to the modulation circuit 402, where the sawtooth wave signal serves as a preset sawtooth wave. The modulation circuit 402 can modulate the initial control signal into a pulse width modulation signal based on the preset sawtooth wave. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal is related to the frequency of the preset sawtooth wave, enabling high-frequency control of the excitation winding 106, improving the control speed of the voltage regulation circuit 100, and shortening the recovery time of voltage drop during generator startup.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 5 Optionally, the voltage regulation circuit 100 further includes an AC frequency extraction circuit 503 and a sampling signal processing circuit 504. The AC frequency extraction circuit 503 is connected to the voltage output terminal 104 of the generator, the quadruple frequency circuit 501, and the low frequency detection circuit 201, respectively, and is used to extract the frequency value of the sampled voltage and transmit it to the low frequency detection circuit 201 and the quadruple frequency circuit 501.
