[0021] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0022] The present application will be further described below in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related application, and are not a limitation on the application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0023] The present application provides an energy storage inverter bus anti-through protection circuit, as shown in Figure 1 , which comprises a Buck-Boost step-up and step-down circuit arranged between the bus and the inductor, the Buck-Boost step-up and step-down circuit comprising a Buck switch tube and a Boost switch tube connected in parallel between the bus and the inductor, the Buck switch tube having a Buck drive signal end, and the Boost switch tube having a Boost drive signal end.
[0024] The conventional protection adopts software or drives the Buck switch tube and the Boost switch tube to be interlocked on the hardware, and when control abnormality or damage exists at the drive end, it cannot realize the through protection.
[0025] In the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the energy storage inverter bus anti-through protection circuit comprises a voltage division branch connected in parallel with the bus and a comparator set connected with the voltage division branch.
[0026] The voltage division branch comprises resistors R1 and R2 connected in series, and the comparator set comprises a supply voltage VCC, a first comparator U1 and a second comparator U2, the supply voltage VCC having a voltage division ground branch, the voltage division ground branch being provided with resistors R3 and R4 connected in series, the voltage division branch comprising a voltage division connection point arranged between the resistors R1 and R2, and the voltage division ground branch comprising a voltage division ground connection point arranged between the resistors R3 and R4.
[0027] The output end of the first comparator U1 is connected with the Buck switch tube through a diode D2, the negative input end of the first comparator U1 is connected with the voltage division ground connection point, and the positive input end of the first comparator U1 is connected with the voltage division connection point.
[0028] The output of the second comparator U2 is connected with the Boost switch tube through a diode D1, the negative input of the second comparator U2 is connected with the voltage division ground connection point, and the positive input is connected with the voltage division connection point.
[0029] Specific implementation is described as follows:
[0030] The voltage on both sides of the DC bus can be measured by the voltage division branch, the measured voltage is directly input into the comparator, the reference voltage is divided by the voltage division ground branch, and the comparator group is compared and operated to meet the control requirements of the switch tube.
[0031] More specifically, the resistors R1 and R2 in the voltage division branch are used for bus voltage division measurement, and the resistors R3 and R4 are used for reference voltage division.
[0032] When the BUS voltage meets the set value, the outputs of the two comparators are high, at this time, the driving signal is not affected, and the high and low levels are input into the corresponding levels at the driving signal end.
[0033] When the BUS voltage is lower than the set value, the first comparator U1 and the second comparator U2 will output low at the same time, at this time, no matter whether the driving signal end inputs high or low, it will be pulled to low through the diode, so that the driving signal end is deadlocked. The BUS voltage allowed to be turned on is determined by the supply voltage VCC and the resistors R3 and R4, so as to meet the compatibility between the protection speed and the working voltage allowed to work. The resistors R1 and R2 are used to adjust the voltage signal level of the input comparator, so as to adapt to the reference level and the common-mode input range of the operational amplifier.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 A direct current protection capacitor C1 is arranged on the voltage division branch, and the direct current protection capacitor C1 is arranged between the resistor R1 and the Buck switch tube.
[0035] When a voltage mutation occurs on the BUS voltage, the direct current protection capacitor C1 must have a discharge current, so as to form a voltage on the resistor R1. In this way, a current limiting resistor is realized, thereby meeting the protection requirements.
[0036] In one preferred embodiment, the supply voltage VCC is provided with a sampling protection parallel branch connected in parallel with the voltage division ground branch, and the protection parallel branch includes resistors R5 and R6 connected in series.
[0037] The protection parallel branch includes a sampling protection connection point arranged between the resistors R5 and R6, and the sampling protection connection point is connected with the voltage division connection point and the voltage division ground connection point respectively.
[0038] The sampling protection connection point is provided with a protection diode D3 between the resistor R5 and the resistor R6, and a protection diode D4 between the resistor R6.
[0039] Specifically, the sampling protection parallel branch plays a surge protection demand, which is composed of resistance R5, resistance R6, protection diode D3 and protection diode D4, which can limit the input level of the first comparator U1 and the second comparator U2 by clamping to avoid overvoltage damage to the comparator.
[0040] In the circuit as shown in Figure 2 , resistance R3 and resistance R4 form a protected reference level, and an input voltage below this level represents an excessive BUS voltage drop, which is identified as a straight-through pre-process, at which time the comparator output is low, which will directly pass through diode D1 and diode D2 to block the drive input.
[0041] Of course, the signal can be sent to the DSP through the level conversion circuit to inform the DSP of the occurrence of straight-through, so that the DSP stops sending the drive signal.
[0042] From the above description, it can be found that the energy storage inverter bus anti-through protection circuit controls the drive end of the Buck switch tube and the Boost switch tube through the comparison of the through bus voltage division index monitoring, thereby meeting the high-efficiency anti-through protection demand. It can realize surge protection, quickly respond when the through bus voltage drops, reduce the occurrence of comparator overvoltage damage, and run more safely. It can provide stable anti-through protection when the control software is abnormal or the drive end is abnormal.
[0043] The term "comprising" or any other similar word is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment / device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or includes the elements inherent to the process, method, article or equipment / device.
[0044] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical solutions after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
