Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power supply, and in particular relates to a power supply circuit and a welding machine. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the welding machine power supply is as follows: the AC power is rectified by the first rectifier circuit, the power factor is corrected, and the capacitor is filtered to store energy to become high-voltage DC power. The high-voltage DC power is converted into a medium-frequency AC square wave through the inverter circuit. After the AC square wave is stepped down by the main transformer, it is rectified and filtered again to convert it into a low-voltage, high-current DC output. At the same time, the current negative feedback is used to regulate and control the output current to ensure that it is stable and consistent with the set current.

[0003] In complex power grid systems, grid voltages can vary from region to region or country to country. When grid voltage exceeds the normal operating voltage range of a welder, overvoltage damage to power components can occur. Undervoltage can lead to insufficient input power, affecting welding performance. Excessive input current can also cause overheating or damage to power components. Therefore, within a wide input voltage range, the welder must be able to adaptively adjust its maximum output power to match the input AC power, ensuring that all power components operate within their rated parameters. This includes power limiting and overload protection, which are crucial for stable and reliable operation. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of the structure of the power supply circuit provided in a preferred embodiment of the present application. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown, which are detailed as follows:

[0059] The power supply circuit includes a first conversion circuit 11 , an inverter circuit 12 , a second conversion circuit 13 , a first detection circuit 14 , a second detection circuit 15 , a third detection circuit 16 , a control circuit 17 and a drive circuit 18 .

[0060] The first conversion circuit 11 is configured to receive an input AC power and convert the input AC power to output a first DC power;

[0061] The inverter circuit 12 is electrically connected to the first conversion circuit 11 and configured to invert the first direct current according to the first driving signal to output a first alternating current;

[0062] The second conversion circuit 13 is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 12 and configured to convert the first alternating current to output a second direct current;

[0063] a first detection circuit 14, electrically connected to the second conversion circuit 13, configured to perform current detection on the second DC power to output a first current sampling signal, and perform voltage detection on the second DC power to output a first voltage sampling signal;

[0064] The second detection circuit 15 is electrically connected to the first conversion circuit 11 and configured to perform voltage sampling on the input AC power to output a second voltage sampling signal;

[0065] a third detection circuit 16 , electrically connected to the second conversion circuit 13 and the inverter circuit 12 , and configured to perform current sampling on the first alternating current to output a second current sampling signal;

[0066] The control circuit 17 is electrically connected to the first detection circuit 14 and the second detection circuit 15 and is configured to output a regulating voltage according to the first current sampling signal, the first voltage sampling signal and the second voltage sampling signal;

[0067] The driving circuit 18 is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 12 , the control circuit 17 , the first detection circuit 14 and the third detection circuit 16 , and is configured to output a driving signal according to the adjustment voltage, the first current sampling signal and the second current sampling signal.

[0068] In a specific implementation, the control circuit 17 is further configured to stop outputting the first drive signal when the voltage of the second voltage sampling signal is greater than the fifth preset voltage; the inverter circuit 12 is further configured to disconnect the output of the first alternating current according to the stopping of the first drive signal.

[0069] By performing voltage detection and overvoltage protection on the input AC power, the inverter circuit 12 is shut down in time to prevent damage to the power devices in the inverter circuit 12. At this time, the control circuit 17 can also output a display signal to the display panel for overvoltage alarm indication.

[0070] It is worth emphasizing that the control circuit 17 is specifically configured to obtain the output power threshold according to the second voltage sampling signal, and obtain the output power according to the first current sampling signal and the first voltage sampling signal. When the output power is greater than the output power threshold, the regulated voltage is reduced and output. In this case, the first driving signal can be a PWM signal; Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit 18 includes an adding circuit and a PWM signal generating circuit.

[0071] The adding circuit is electrically connected to the control circuit 17 and the first detection circuit 14, and is configured to add the voltage of the first current sampling signal and the adjustment voltage to obtain a composite voltage; in a specific implementation, the adjustment voltage is a negative voltage and the voltage of the first current sampling signal is a positive voltage.

[0072] The PWM signal generating circuit is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 12, the adding circuit and the third detection circuit 16, and is configured to take a preset ratio of the second current sampling signal to obtain a first voltage. When the first voltage is greater than the composite voltage, the PWM signal of the current cycle is stopped and the PWM signal is output in the next cycle.

[0073] It should be noted that the output power threshold value obtained by the control circuit 17 according to the second voltage sampling signal is specifically:

[0074] Calculate the output power threshold according to the following formula: P 2max =P 1max η=I 1max ·U1·η

[0075] Among them, U1 is the voltage of the input AC power, I 1max is the maximum allowable input current, P 2max is the output power threshold, η is the conversion efficiency, P 1max is the maximum input power.

[0076] The control circuit 17 obtains the output power according to the first current sampling signal and the first voltage sampling signal as follows:

[0077] Calculate the output power according to the following formula: P2=I2·U2

[0078] Wherein, P2 is the output power, U2 is the voltage of the second direct current, and I2 is the current of the second direct current.

[0079] When the output power is greater than the output power threshold, the control circuit 17 reduces and outputs the regulated voltage. The adding circuit adds the voltage of the first current sampling signal and the regulated voltage to obtain a composite voltage. The PWM signal generating circuit takes a preset ratio of the second current sampling signal to obtain the first voltage. When the first voltage is greater than the composite voltage, the PWM signal of the current cycle is stopped from being output, and the PWM signal is output in the next cycle. That is, when P2>P 2max When the regulation voltage decreases, the duty cycle of the PWM signal decreases, causing the output current to drop, making P2 equal to P 2max The second DC current is adjusted according to the input DC voltage, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the output power. The pulse-by-pulse current limiting method implemented by the software running on the control circuit 17 can ensure that the power is not overloaded and normal operation can be maintained even when the input voltage is low for a long time or the output power is too high.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the PWM signal generating circuit is further configured to stop outputting the PWM signal of the current cycle and output the PWM signal in the next cycle when the first voltage is greater than the first preset voltage.

[0081] By setting an upper limit value (first preset voltage) for the first voltage, output overcurrent is prevented and power devices in the power supply circuit are protected.

[0082] The driving signal is a PWM signal; Figure 3 As shown, the power supply circuit further includes a comparison circuit 19 .

[0083] The comparison circuit 19 is electrically connected to the third detection circuit 16 and the control circuit 17, and is configured to output an overcurrent signal when the voltage of the second current sampling signal is greater than the second preset voltage;

[0084] The control circuit 17 is further configured to output a shutdown signal according to the overcurrent signal;

[0085] The PWM signal generating circuit is also electrically connected to the control circuit 17 and is further configured to stop outputting the PWM signal of the current cycle and output the PWM signal in the next cycle when receiving a shutdown signal.

[0086] By generating an overcurrent signal based on the second current sampling signal and then a shutdown signal based on the overcurrent signal, the PWM signal generation circuit stops outputting the PWM signal in the current cycle and outputs the PWM signal in the next cycle, further preventing output overcurrent and protecting the power devices in the power supply circuit. This pulse-by-pulse current limiting method through hardware circuitry has a fast response speed and can quickly limit sudden current overshoot signals.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the first conversion circuit 11 includes a first rectifier circuit 111 and a PFC circuit 112 .

[0088] The first rectifier circuit 111 is configured to receive an input AC power and convert the input AC power to output a third DC power;

[0089] The PFC circuit 112 is electrically connected to the first rectifier circuit 111 and the inverter circuit 12 , and is configured to perform power factor correction on the second DC power to output the first DC power.

[0090] AC-DC conversion and power factor correction are achieved through the first rectifier circuit 111 and the PFC circuit 112, thereby improving the efficiency of electric energy.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, the power supply circuit further includes a fourth detection circuit 20 .

[0092] a fourth detection circuit 20 , electrically connected to the first rectifier circuit 111 and the PFC circuit 112 , and configured to perform current detection on the third direct current to output a third current sampling signal;

[0093] The control circuit 17 is also electrically connected to the PFC circuit 112 and is further configured to stop outputting the second drive signal when the voltage of the third current sampling signal is greater than a third preset voltage;

[0094] The PFC circuit 112 is further configured to cut off the output of the first DC power according to the cessation of the second driving signal.

[0095] The fourth detection circuit 20 and the control circuit 17 implement overcurrent protection for the PFC circuit 112. When the current of the third DC power source exceeds the upper limit of the allowable current, the PFC circuit 112 is turned off to prevent inductor saturation and overcurrent damage to power devices such as IGBTs.

[0096] like Figure 6 As shown, the power supply circuit further includes a fifth detection circuit 21 .

[0097] a fifth detection circuit 21 , electrically connected to the first rectifier circuit 111 and the PFC circuit 112 , and configured to perform voltage detection on the third DC power to output a third voltage sampling signal;

[0098] The control circuit 17 is also electrically connected to the PFC circuit 112 and is further configured to stop outputting the second drive signal when the voltage of the third voltage sampling signal is less than a fourth preset voltage;

[0099] The PFC circuit 112 is further configured to cut off the output of the first DC power according to the cessation of the second driving signal.

[0100] The fourth detection circuit 20 and the control circuit 17 are used to implement undervoltage protection of the PFC circuit 112 , thereby preventing damage to power devices caused by insufficient input power.

[0101] In a specific implementation, the control circuit 17 is further configured to output a control signal when the voltage of the second voltage sampling signal is greater than the sixth preset voltage; Figure 7 As shown, the power supply circuit further includes a switch circuit 22 .

[0102] The switch circuit 22 is electrically connected to the second detection circuit 15 and the first conversion circuit 11 , and is configured to receive the input AC power and be disconnected according to a control signal to stop outputting the input AC power.

[0103] When the input AC voltage exceeds the sixth preset voltage, the trigger switch circuit 22 (such as the main power relay) is disconnected to prevent damage to power devices such as electrolytic capacitors and IGBTs due to overvoltage. At the same time, the control circuit 17 can output a display signal to the display panel to indicate an overvoltage alarm.

[0104] like Figure 8 As shown, the second conversion circuit 13 includes a voltage transformation circuit 131 and a second rectifier circuit 132 .

[0105] The voltage conversion circuit 131 is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 12 and configured to convert the first alternating current to output a second alternating current;

[0106] The second rectifier circuit 132 is electrically connected to the transformer circuit 131 and the first detection circuit 14 , and is configured to rectify the second alternating current to output a second direct current.

[0107] The voltage conversion circuit 131 and the second rectifier circuit 132 realize AC conversion and AC-DC conversion, thereby obtaining stable high-current DC power.

[0121] The first conversion circuit 11 converts the input AC power to output a first DC power; the inverter circuit 12 inverts the first DC power according to the first drive signal to output a first AC power; the second conversion circuit 13 converts the first AC power to output a second DC power; the first detection circuit 14 detects the current of the second DC power and outputs a first current sampling signal to the first universal input / output terminal P1.0 of the microprocessor U1 and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U2, and detects the voltage of the second DC power and outputs a first voltage sampling signal to the second universal input / output terminal P1.1 of the microprocessor U1; the second detection circuit 15 samples the voltage of the input AC power and outputs a second voltage sampling signal to the third universal input / output terminal P1.2 of the microprocessor U1; and the third detection circuit 16 samples the current of the first AC power and outputs a second current sampling signal to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4. The first drive signal may be a PWM signal.

[0122] The microprocessor U1 obtains the output power threshold according to the second voltage sampling signal, obtains the output power according to the first current sampling signal and the first voltage sampling signal, and reduces and outputs the regulated voltage when the output power is greater than the output power threshold.

[0123] The operational amplifier U2 adds the voltage of the first current sampling signal and the regulation voltage to obtain a composite voltage, and outputs the composite voltage from the output terminal of the operational amplifier U2 to the non-inverting input terminal E / A+ of the error amplifier of the PWM controller U3.

[0124] The tenth resistor R10 and the twelfth resistor R12 divide the voltage of the second power supply to output a second preset voltage. When the voltage of the second current sampling signal is greater than the second preset voltage, the comparator U4 outputs an overcurrent signal to the fifth general input and output terminal P1.4 of the microprocessor U1. The microprocessor U1 outputs a shutdown signal to the external shutdown signal input terminal SHUTDOWN of the PWM controller U3 according to the overcurrent signal.

[0125] The fourth resistor R4, the eighth resistor R8, and the seventh resistor R7 take a preset proportion of the second current sampling signal to obtain a first voltage (the voltage of the non-inverting input terminal C / S+ of the current sensing comparator of the PWM controller U3). When the first voltage is greater than the composite voltage, the PWM controller U3 stops outputting the PWM signal of the current cycle from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3, and outputs the PWM signal from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3 in the next cycle.

[0126] When the external shutdown signal input terminal SHUTDOWN of the PWM controller U3 is connected to the shutdown voltage, the PWM signal of the current cycle is stopped from being output from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3, and the PWM signal is output from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3 in the next cycle.

[0127] When the first voltage is greater than the voltage of the current limiting terminal C / S of the PWM controller U3 (the first preset voltage), the output of the PWM signal of the current cycle from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3 is stopped, and the PWM signal is output from the first PWM drive signal output terminal OUTA of the PWM controller U3 and the second PWM drive signal output terminal OUTB of the PWM controller U3 in the next cycle.

[0128] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a welding machine, which includes the above-mentioned power supply circuit.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present invention, a first conversion circuit receives input AC power and converts the input AC power to output a first DC power. An inverter circuit inverts the first DC power according to a first drive signal to output a first AC power. A second conversion circuit converts the first AC power to output a second DC power. A first detection circuit detects the current of the second DC power to output a first current sampling signal, and detects the voltage of the second DC power to output a first voltage sampling signal. A second detection circuit samples the voltage of the input AC power to output a second voltage sampling signal. A third detection circuit samples the current of the first AC power to output a second current sampling signal. A control circuit outputs an adjusted voltage based on the first current sampling signal, a first voltage sampling signal, and a second voltage sampling signal. A drive circuit outputs a first drive signal based on the adjusted voltage, the first current sampling signal, and the second current sampling signal. Because the adjusted signal is generated based on the voltage sampling signal of the input AC power, and the first drive signal of the inverter circuit is generated based on the adjusted signal, the maximum output power matching the input AC power can be adaptively adjusted within a wide input voltage range, thereby being applicable to power grids with a wide voltage range.
