Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of alternating current servo drive protection, and particularly relates to an alternating current drive protection circuit and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The current market general single-phase or three-phase motor driver (including frequency converter, such as Figure 1 ; servo driver, such as Figure 2 , brushless DC driver, such as Figure 3 ) main circuit diagram, three-phase or single-phase alternating current is rectified by a rectifier bridge into direct current, charges a storage filter link composed of C1 and C2 electrolytic capacitors through a charging buffer network composed of a resistor R1 and a contactor (relay) RLY1, and then is given to a motor through an inverter link composed of six IGBTs, thereby driving the motor to run. The charging buffer network composed of R1 and RLY1 can be placed on the DC+ bus or the DC- bus. Because the motor runs with acceleration and deceleration, the energy generated during deceleration will be fed back to the direct current (DC+, DC-) bus, at which time the excess energy will be discharged by a brake IGBT opening an external energy consumption resistor R2 to protect the direct current bus devices within the operating range.
[0003] During the operation of the driver, internal single device failure cannot be avoided due to various reasons. When a single device fails, it is generally required that no fire or safety accident occurs, so safety protection measures are required for all single faults.
[0004] Disadvantages of the prior art solution:
[0005] 1. As shown in Figure 1 , the current technical solution has a motor side U V W short circuit function, that is, when the U V W of the driver connected to the motor is short-circuited or the internal short circuit of the motor, protection is achieved by detection and protection, but if the motor U V W is short-circuited to the ground, such as Figure 1 , only the LM3 can be detected, and then an external signal is given by the control loop to cut off the incoming line R S T power supply, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , other ways are required for protection, such as incoming line leakage switch tripping protection;
[0006] 2. As shown in Figure 1 VT1、 Figure 2 3IGBT1 single device failure (such as installation of iron filings type pin short circuit leading to damage), the external brake resistor may be always on, leading to heating and fire, and Figures 1-3 there is no better way to protect the driver inside, which can only rely on external protection;
[0007] 3 When the inverter IGBT fails and is short-circuited, the DC+DC- is in a short-circuit state, at this time, if the relay RLY1 is in the attracted state, it is equivalent to the RST input short-circuit, and external protection is required, and when the RLY1 is in the disconnected state, the internal buffer starting resistor R1 will heat up, which may cause a fire, and these in the current frequency converter or servo drive can only rely on external circuit protection or no protection.
[0008] In summary, the driver in the prior art can only rely on external circuit protection or no protection, therefore, it is urgent to find a solution that does not need to rely on external circuit for driving protection. SUMMARY

The drawings and the associated descriptions are provided to illustrate the preferred embodiments of the present application and to explain the principles of the present application, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
[0036] As shown in Figure 4 , the embodiments of the present application provide an AC drive protection circuit, which comprises:

[0038] The power supply circuit 10 is used for providing an AC voltage;
[0039] The rectification brake circuit 20 is used for converting the AC voltage into a DC voltage after rectification;
[0040] The inverter circuit 30 is used for driving the motor 60 to work after converting the DC voltage into a multi-phase AC voltage through inversion;
[0041] The voltage detection circuit 40 is used for detecting the voltage change in the rectification brake circuit or the inverter circuit;
[0042] The MCU control circuit 50 is used for controlling the on-off state of the power supply circuit according to the voltage change through MCU.
[0043] It should be noted that, in normal circumstances, when the power supply circuit 10 provides power supply voltage, generally three-phase power, through the rectifier brake circuit 20 to convert the power supply voltage to DC voltage, and after voltage and current buffering treatment, by the inverter circuit 30, the three-phase AC power is converted back to AC three-phase power, and then the motor 60 is driven to work. However, in actual motor operation, when a fault occurs, such as motor side three-phase U V W short circuit, inverter circuit failure, etc., it will cause the driver to short circuit and damage, and the present application detects the voltage change (such as sudden voltage drop) in the rectifier brake circuit or inverter circuit by setting the voltage detection circuit 50 to consume the heat caused by short circuit by switching the on-off state of the diode / thyristor, and further the voltage change in the rectifier brake circuit or inverter circuit can be fed back to the MUC control circuit 40 to control the on-off of the power supply circuit 10.

At the same time, RLY1 is connected in series with the starting buffer resistor RA, a small current relay can be used, the additional cost is very small, and the purpose of protection is achieved.
[0050] It should be noted that,Figure 5 D19 is a turn-off thyristor, and the gate signal of D19 is positive in normal operation, so that D19 operates normally, and when a fault occurs, the control signal of relay RLY1 and the gate control signal of D19 are simultaneously cut off, so that the unit in the rear stage is powered off, and the protection purpose is achieved.
[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the inverter circuit comprises six IGBT tubes M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6, and two groups of the six IGBT tubes respectively provide three-phase alternating voltage to drive the motor to operate.

The voltage between CD changes with the current flowing therethrough, and the maximum voltage drop between CD in normal operation is within a certain range, for example, within 1.5V, and when a short circuit or a fault in the rear stage occurs, the voltage drop between CD increases because the current suddenly increases, so that whether a short circuit occurs can be judged by detecting the voltage between CD (the control timing of the starting MCU needs to be combined to judge), the scheme circuit is simple, the cost is lower, and no power consumption is generated. The technical point that needs to be overcome in the method of detecting the voltage between CD is that the circuit needs to be switched at the time of starting or after protection, and the voltage between CD is detected, for example, Figure 8, can be from the figure R155 sampling, when R155 resistance voltage is greater than a certain value, can be closed in the figure Q18, can protect the circuit, or use automatic range switching circuit (mature circuit - multimeter mature circuit, in the measurement industry belongs to general circuit, not here).
