Abstract

The application provides a bipolar inverter system, a direct-current resonant converter and a current regulation method thereof. Since high-frequency ripples exist in the input and output of the direct-current resonant conversion circuit, the high-frequency ripples change along with the change of the PWM carrier, and the PWM carrier regulation of the direct-current resonant conversion circuit can change the capacitor voltage and the inductor voltage in the resonant cavity, and further change the current. Since the current of at least one direct-current resonant conversion circuit is greater than the preset current, the above regulation is performed on the corresponding resonant conversion circuit until the current of each direct-current resonant conversion circuit is less than or equal to the preset current, and the preset current is less than or equal to the maximum bearing current of the corresponding direct-current resonant conversion circuit, so that the method makes each resonant conversion circuit not overload, and the current regulation method of the direct-current resonant converter avoids the overload of the parallelly connected direct-current resonant conversion circuit.

[0023] If the current on the DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its preset current, then the DC resonant converter circuit is adjusted to a state where its current is less than or equal to its preset current.

[0024] Optionally, the current in the DC resonant converter circuit can be characterized by the resonant current in the resonant cavity of the DC resonant converter circuit.

[0025] Optionally, if the structures of the DC resonant converter circuits are the same but their maximum carrying currents are different, then the preset currents are different and are respectively the maximum carrying currents.

[0026] Optionally, if all the DC resonant converter circuits have the same structure and their respective maximum carrying currents are the same, then the preset currents are the same, which are either the maximum carrying currents or the average value of the sum of the currents on each DC resonant converter circuit.

[0033] Optionally, the various currents of the DC resonant converter circuit are characterized by effective values, peak values, or average values.

[0034] A second aspect of this application provides a DC-DC resonant converter, comprising: a controller, at least two DC-DC resonant converter circuits, and at least two current sensors; wherein:

[0035] All of the DC resonant converter circuits are connected in parallel;

[0036] The current sensors are respectively installed at one end of the inductor or capacitor in the resonant cavity of each DC resonant converter circuit;

[0046] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention provides a current regulation method for a DC resonant converter. This DC resonant converter includes at least two parallel-connected DC resonant converter circuits. Since high-frequency ripple exists in both the input and output of the DC resonant converter circuit, and this high-frequency ripple changes with the PWM carrier wave, adjusting the PWM carrier wave of the DC resonant converter circuit can change the capacitor voltage and inductor voltage in the resonant cavity of the DC resonant converter circuit, thereby changing the current in the DC resonant converter circuit. Furthermore, since this current regulation method adjusts the corresponding resonant converter circuit as described above when the current in at least one DC resonant converter circuit exceeds its own preset current, until the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective preset current, this current regulation method ultimately ensures that the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective preset current, and the corresponding preset current is less than or equal to the maximum carrying current of the corresponding DC resonant converter circuit. Therefore, this current regulation method can ensure that the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective maximum carrying current, thus preventing overload of each resonant converter circuit. Therefore, the current regulation method for the DC resonant converter provided in this application can avoid overload of the parallel-connected DC resonant converter circuits.

[0055] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] In this application, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0057] To prevent overload in parallel-connected DC-DC resonant converter circuits, embodiments of this application provide a current regulation method for a DC-DC resonant converter, wherein, as... Figure 2 As shown, the DC resonant converter includes at least two DC resonant converter circuits, all of which are connected in parallel.

[0058] The conditions can be: each DC resonant converter circuit has the same structure but different maximum current carrying capacity; or each DC resonant converter circuit has the same structure and the same maximum current carrying capacity. No specific limitation is made here, and it can be determined according to the specific situation. Both are within the protection scope of this application.

[0059] The specific process of the current regulation method for this DC resonant converter is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0060] S110: Obtain the current on each DC resonant converter circuit.

[0061] Typically, the current in a DC-DC resonant converter circuit is characterized by the resonant current in the resonant cavity. In practical applications, this includes, but is not limited to, the specific application; all such applications are within the scope of this application. The resonant cavity, for example... Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown in 01.

[0062] Specifically, the resonant current can be sampled by placing a current sensor at one end of an inductor or capacitor in the resonant cavity; in practical applications, this is not limited to, but can be determined according to the specific circumstances, and all are within the protection scope of this application.

[0063] S120. PWM carrier adjustment is performed on each DC resonant converter circuit whose own current is greater than its own preset current until the current on each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0064] The preset current of each DC resonant converter circuit is set according to the maximum carrying current of each DC resonant converter circuit. Specifically, the preset current of each DC resonant converter circuit is set to be less than or equal to the maximum overload current of each DC resonant converter circuit.

[0065] PWM carrier modulation is the adjustment of the PWM carrier signal of a DC resonant converter circuit. For example, it can adjust the phase difference between the PWM carrier signals of two connected DC resonant converter circuits. The specific methods of PWM carrier modulation will be explained in detail below, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] Optionally, the various currents of the DC resonant converter circuit can be characterized by their effective values, peak values, or average values; no specific limitation is made here, and the choice can be made depending on the specific circumstances, all of which are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0067] Since high-frequency ripple exists in both the input and output of the DC-DC resonant converter circuit, PWM carrier modulation can change the capacitor voltage and inductor voltage in the resonant cavity, thereby changing the current in the DC-DC resonant converter circuit. Furthermore, since this current regulation method adjusts the corresponding resonant converter circuit as described above when the current in at least one DC-DC resonant converter circuit exceeds its own preset current, until the current in each DC-DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective preset current, this current regulation method ultimately ensures that the current in each DC-DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective preset current. Since the corresponding preset current is less than or equal to the maximum carrying current of the corresponding DC-DC resonant converter circuit, this current regulation method can guarantee that the current in each DC-DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its respective maximum carrying current, thus preventing overload of any resonant converter circuit. Therefore, the current regulation method for the DC-DC resonant converter provided in this application can avoid overload of parallel-connected DC-DC resonant converter circuits.

[0068] It is worth noting that in the current regulation method of the DC resonant converter provided in this application, PWM carrier regulation is performed on each DC resonant converter circuit whose own current is greater than its own preset current. This can reduce the ripple in the output of the DC resonant converter, thereby reducing the cost of the output capacitor in the DC resonant converter and thus reducing the overall cost of the DC resonant converter.

[0069] Another embodiment of this application provides two specific implementations of the preset current, as detailed below:

[0070] The first implementation method is only applicable to situations where the structures of each DC resonant converter circuit are the same but their maximum carrying currents are different. Specifically, the preset currents of each DC resonant converter circuit are different, namely, the maximum overload current of each DC resonant converter circuit.

[0071] The second implementation method is applicable to situations where the structures of each DC resonant converter circuit are the same and their maximum carrying currents are also the same. Specifically, the preset circuits of each DC resonant converter circuit are the same, which are: the maximum carrying current of the DC resonant converter circuit, or the average value of the sum of the currents on the DC resonant converter circuit.

[0072] When the preset circuits of each DC resonant converter are the same and are all the average value of the sum of the currents on the DC resonant converter, the current regulation method of the DC resonant converter provided in this embodiment can ultimately achieve current sharing of each DC resonant converter connected in parallel, thereby improving the service life of each DC resonant converter connected in parallel, and further protecting each DC resonant converter connected in parallel. Therefore, this embodiment is the preferred embodiment in practical applications.

[0073] The above are only two implementation methods for preset current. In practical applications, there are other methods, including but not limited to these. No specific limitation is made here. The specific method can be determined according to the specific situation. All of them are within the protection scope of this application.

[0074] Another embodiment of this application provides three implementation methods for PWM carrier modulation of a DC resonant converter circuit, as detailed below:

[0075] The first implementation method is as follows: increase the phase difference between the PWM carrier signal of the DC resonant converter circuit and the previous PWM carrier signal; wherein, the previous PWM carrier signal is a PWM carrier signal whose phase leads the PWM carrier signal of the DC resonant converter circuit and is adjacent to it.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, PWM1, PWM2, ..., PWMn are the PWM carrier signals of the first, second, ..., nth DC resonant converter circuits, respectively. θ1 is the phase difference between PWM1 and PWMn, and θ2 is the phase difference between PWM2 and PWM1. n Let θn be the phase difference between PWMn and PWMn-1, where θ1 + θ2 + ... + θn-1 n =2π.

[0077] Optionally, the phase difference between the PWM carrier signal of the DC resonant converter circuit and the previous PWM carrier signal can be directly increased, or the phase difference between the PWM carrier signal of each other DC resonant converter circuit and their respective previous PWM carrier signal can be decreased. In practical applications, this includes, but is not limited to, the specific choice here, depending on the specific circumstances, and all are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] The second implementation method is to increase the frequency of the PWM carrier signal of the entire DC resonant converter circuit.

[0079] The third implementation method is to increase both the phase difference between the PWM carrier signal of the DC resonant converter circuit and the previous PWM carrier signal, and to increase the frequency of the PWM carrier signal of the entire DC resonant converter circuit.

[0080] It should be noted that the adjustment amount used in the above three implementation methods is very small, so the soft switching characteristics of the switching transistor can be achieved, thereby further reducing losses.

[0081] The above are only three implementation methods for PWM carrier regulation of DC resonant converter circuit. In practical applications, there are other methods, including but not limited to these. No specific limitation is made here. The specific method can be determined according to the specific situation. All of them are within the protection scope of this application.

[0082] Another embodiment of this application provides one implementation of step S120, the specific process of which is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0083] S210. Determine whether the current on each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0084] If the current in at least one DC resonant converter circuit is greater than its own preset current, then step S220 is executed, and after step S220, the process returns to execute step S210; if the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current, then the current regulation of the DC resonant converter is completed.

[0085] S220, Perform PWM carrier adjustment on the corresponding DC resonant converter circuit.

[0086] This embodiment also provides another implementation of step S120, the specific process of which is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0087] S310, cyclically adjusts each DC resonant converter circuit to a state where its own current is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0088] One example is adjusting the DC resonant converter circuit to a state where its own current is less than or equal to its preset current (see the detailed process). Figure 7 Specifically:

[0089] Determine whether the current in the DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its preset current.

[0090] If the current in the DC resonant converter circuit is greater than its own preset current, then the DC resonant converter circuit is PWM carrier adjusted, and then the process returns to the step of checking whether the current in the DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current; if the current in the DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current, then the process of adjusting the DC resonant converter circuit to a state where its own current is less than or equal to its own preset current is completed.

[0091] S320. After completing any adjustment in the cyclic process, determine whether the current on each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0092] If the current in at least one DC resonant converter circuit is greater than its own preset current, the above cycle process continues; if the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current, the current regulation of the DC resonant converter is completed.

[0093] The above are only two specific implementations of step S120. In practical applications, there are other implementations, including but not limited to these. No specific limitation is made here. The implementation can be determined according to the specific circumstances, and all are within the protection scope of this application.

[0094] The following describes in detail the current regulation method of the DC resonant converter provided in this application, taking a DC resonant converter including three parallel-connected DC resonant converter circuits and step S120 using the second implementation method in the above embodiments as an example.

[0101] S440, Perform PWM carrier adjustment on the second DC resonant converter circuit.

[0102] S450: Determine whether the current on the third DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0104] S460, PWM carrier adjustment is performed on the third DC resonant converter circuit.

[0105] S470. Determine whether the current on each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current.

[0106] If the current in at least one DC resonant converter circuit is greater than its own preset current, then return to step S410; if the current in each DC resonant converter circuit is less than or equal to its own preset current, then the current regulation of the DC resonant converter is completed.

[0107] Another embodiment of this application provides a DC resonant converter, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 8 ( Figure 8 In China only Figure 2 As shown in the diagram (based on the existing structure), it specifically includes: a controller 10, at least two DC resonant converter circuits, and at least two current sensors 20; the connection relationships between the components are as follows:
