[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0047] The technical solutions in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, embodiments, claims, and drawings of this application are for distinguishing purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as including a series of steps or units. A method, system, product, or apparatus is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0049] It should be understood that in this application, "at least one (item)" means one or more, and "more than" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three cases: only A exists, only B exists, and both A and B exist simultaneously, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one (item) of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a and b and c", where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0050] This application provides a trigger circuit for a unidirectional thyristor, used to bypass a power module (PM) by controlling the unidirectional thyristor to short-circuit. For example... Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, the cathode of the unidirectional thyristor T can be connected to the power module PM via node E_A1, and the anode of the unidirectional thyristor T can be connected to the power module PM via node E_A2. Different power modules PM are connected via nodes B1 and B2. The power module PM may include a submodule SM and a submodule capacitor C. SM .

[0051] In the case of cascading n (n ≥ 2) power modules, the n power modules and n unidirectional thyristors are connected in a one-to-one correspondence, such as... Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown. Figure 2a and Figure 2b In this system, different power modules (PM) are connected through nodes B1 and B2.

[0052] The power module can adopt topologies such as half-bridge, full-bridge, and three-level. Details are as follows:

[0053] 1) The power module adopts a half-bridge topology. The connection diagram between the power module PM and the unidirectional thyristor T is shown in the figure. Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown. Figure 3a and Figure 3b In this system, different power modules (PM) are connected through nodes B1 and B2.

[0054] 2) The power module adopts a full-bridge topology. The connection diagram between the power module PM and the unidirectional thyristor T is shown in the figure. Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown. Figure 4a and Figure 4bIn this system, different power modules (PM) are connected through nodes B1 and B2.

[0055] 3) The power module adopts a three-level topology. The connection diagram between the power module PM and the unidirectional thyristor T is shown in the figure. Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown. Figure 5a and Figure 5b In this system, different power modules (PM) are connected through nodes B1 and B2.

[0056] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the unidirectional thyristor T includes a stacked anode-side housing T11, a first molybdenum sheet layer T12, a chip layer T13, a second molybdenum sheet layer T14, and a cathode-side housing T15. The specific structure of the chip layer T13 can be designed according to the working principle of the unidirectional thyristor T, and will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.

[0057] Furthermore, the unidirectional thyristor also includes a first metal layer and / or a second metal layer. This application embodiment uses an example where the unidirectional thyristor further includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer for illustration.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, a first metal layer T16 is stacked between the anode-side outer shell T11 and the first molybdenum sheet layer T12. A second metal layer T17 is stacked between the cathode-side outer shell T15 and the second molybdenum sheet layer T14.

[0059] The first metal layer T16 and the second metal layer T17 are made of metals with high resistivity. When the current flowing through the unidirectional thyristor T is large, the large amount of heat generated by the first metal layer T16 and the second metal layer T17 can quickly damage the unidirectional thyristor T and achieve a short circuit in the unidirectional thyristor T, while reducing the heat dissipation of the external resistor.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the trigger circuit 10 may include a first trigger module 1 and a transmission module TR. The input terminal of the first trigger module 1 is connected to the power module, the output terminal of the first trigger module 1 is connected to the input terminal of the transmission module TR, and the output terminal of the transmission module TR is connected to the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0061] The first trigger module 1 is used to output a first pulse signal according to the drive signal from the power module PM.

[0062] The transmission module TR is used to transmit the first pulse signal to the unidirectional thyristor T, causing the unidirectional thyristor T to be short-circuited, thereby bypassing the power module PM.

[0063] In the event of a malfunction in the power module's control system, there is a possibility that the internal mF-level submodule capacitors of the power module may be directly short-circuited during the power module bypass process. The short-circuit discharge of the submodule capacitors at the moment the unidirectional thyristor completes its operation can generate a current exceeding 1000kA, which can easily damage the power module. Therefore, in this embodiment, at least one of the amplitude, pulse width, and frequency of the first pulse signal used to trigger the unidirectional thyristor increases sequentially. That is, in this embodiment, the first trigger module 1 can use a single-group multi-stage triggering method to gradually decrease the blocking resistance of the unidirectional thyristor, ultimately achieving a short circuit in the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0064] In a single-group multi-level triggering process, the first pulse signal can be as follows: Figure 8 As shown. Figure 8 In the process, the amplitude of the first pulse signal increases sequentially, while the pulse width and frequency remain fixed.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first trigger module 1 includes a switch S, a first resistor R1, and a first capacitor C1.

[0066] The control terminal of the switching transistor S is used to connect to the power module PM. The first terminal (which can be the drain) of the switching transistor S is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1. The second terminal (which can be the source) of the switching transistor S is connected to the first end of the first capacitor C1. The second terminals of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 are both connected to the transmission module TR (which can be the first primary winding of the transmission module TR).

[0067] Further, refer to Figure 9 The first trigger module 1 also includes a data acquisition module AD. The first input terminal of the data acquisition module AD is connected to the second terminal of the first resistor R1, the second input terminal of the data acquisition module AD is connected to the second terminal of the first capacitor C1, and the output terminal of the data acquisition module AD is connected to the power module PM.

[0068] The acquisition module AD is used to: acquire the first pulse signal and convert the first pulse signal into a digital signal to be output to the power module PM.

[0069] The power module PM is used to control the output of the drive signal based on the digital signal. In other words, the acquisition module provides feedback on the first pulse signal, which is then used to control the drive signal.

[0070] In other embodiments, the trigger circuit 10 further includes a second trigger module 2. The first and second input terminals of the second trigger module 2 are both connected to the submodule capacitor C in the power module PM. SM The first and second output terminals of the second trigger module 2 are both connected to the transmission module TR.

[0071] The second trigger module 2 is used to: determine the capacitance C of the submodule SM The voltage output second pulse signal is sent to the transmission module TR.

[0072] The transmission module TR is also used to: transmit the second pulse signal to the unidirectional thyristor T to short-circuit the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0073] Further, refer to Figure 9 The trigger circuit 10 also includes a second trigger module 2. The second trigger module 2 includes a second capacitor C2, a second capacitor C3, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a first breakdown diode BOD1.

[0074] The first terminals of the second capacitor C2 and the second resistor R2 are connected to each other, serving as the first input terminal of the second trigger module 2. The first terminals of the second capacitor C3 and the third resistor R3 are connected to each other, serving as the second input terminal and the second output terminal of the second trigger module. The second terminals of the second capacitor C2, the second capacitor C3, the second resistor R2, and the third resistor R3 are connected and connected to the anode of the first breakdown diode BOD1. The cathode of the first breakdown diode BOD1 is connected to the first terminal of the fourth resistor R4, and the second terminal of the fourth resistor R4 serves as the first output terminal of the second trigger module 2.

[0075] In the event of a failure in the control system of the power module PM or the first trigger module 1, the capacitors C2 and C3 in the second trigger module 2 are charged, and the second pulse signal is output by breaking down the diode BOD1, thereby causing the unidirectional thyristor to short-circuit.

[0076] Among the other possible implementations, continue to refer to Figure 9 The trigger circuit 10 also includes a third trigger module 3. The first input terminal of the third trigger module 3 is connected to the transmission module TR, the second input terminal of the third trigger module 3 is connected to the anode of the unidirectional thyristor T, and the output terminal of the third trigger module 3 is connected to the control electrode of the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0077] The third trigger module 3 is used to output a third pulse signal to the unidirectional thyristor T based on the voltage between the anode and the control electrode of the unidirectional thyristor T, causing the unidirectional thyristor T to short-circuit.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the third trigger module 3 includes a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, and a second breakdown diode BOD2.

[0079] The first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 serves as the first input terminal of the third trigger module 3. The second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first terminal of the sixth resistor R6, serving as the output terminal of the third trigger module 3. The second terminal of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the cathode of the second breakdown diode BOD2. The anode of the second breakdown diode BOD2 serves as the second input terminal of the third trigger module 3, and is connected to the anode of the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0080] When the control system of the power module fails and the voltage of capacitors C2 and C3 in the second trigger module 2 cannot short-circuit the unidirectional thyristor, the unidirectional thyristor can be short-circuited through the third trigger module.

[0081] Optional, see reference Figure 9 The transmission module TR includes a first primary winding TR11, a second primary winding TR12, and a secondary winding TR21.

[0082] The first terminal of the first primary winding TR11 is connected to the second terminal of the first resistor R1, and the second terminal of the first primary winding TR11 is connected to the second terminal of the first capacitor C1. The first terminal of the second primary winding TR12 is connected to the first output terminal of the second trigger module 2, and the second terminal of the second primary winding TR12 is connected to the second output terminal of the second trigger module 2. The first terminal of the secondary winding TR21 is connected to the first input terminal of the third trigger module 3, and the second terminal of the secondary winding TR21 is connected to the cathode of the unidirectional thyristor T.

[0083] This application also provides a power electronic device, including a power module, a unidirectional thyristor, and a trigger circuit. The trigger circuit is connected to the unidirectional thyristor and also to the power module.
