The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] In addition, if the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are involved in this application, they are only used for descriptive purposes (such as for distinguishing the same or similar features), and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0038] In one embodiment, a DC regulated power supply is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the DC regulated power supply includes a transformer circuit and a driving circuit; wherein the transformer circuit is provided with a plurality of transformers connected in parallel in an interlaced manner; the driving circuit includes a first power supply end, a square wave generating unit, a first trigger, a second trigger and two driving units, wherein the first power supply end is electrically connected to the power supply ends of the square wave generating unit, the first trigger and the second trigger respectively, the signal output end of the square wave generating unit is electrically connected to the clock end of the first trigger; the signal output end of the first trigger is electrically connected to the clock end of the second trigger; the two signal output ends of the second trigger are electrically connected to the input ends of the two driving units respectively; the same frequency signal output end with a phase difference between the two driving units is respectively used to connect the control end of the switch tube module Q in each of the transformers;

[0039] Among them, the main board of the transformer is a multi-layer circuit board, and a rectifier winding is provided on the main board, and in the rectifier winding core, the primary winding and the secondary winding are alternately stacked; the top layer of the rectifier winding core is provided with a first bus bar as a top winding plate, and the first bus bar and half of the secondary winding are connected in parallel between the voltage output terminal Uo of the transformer and one of the switch tube modules Q, and are grounded through the switch tube module Q; the bottom layer of the rectifier winding core is provided with a second bus bar as a bottom winding plate, and the second bus bar and the other half of the secondary winding are connected in parallel between the voltage output terminal Uo of the transformer and another switch tube module Q, and are grounded through the switch tube module Q.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first power supply end is responsible for providing the required electrical energy for the normal operation of the driving circuit; that is, the first power supply end is responsible for providing the electrical energy required for the normal operation of the square wave generating unit, the first trigger and the second trigger, such as 5V DC input.

[0041] Optionally, the square wave generating unit may be constructed based on a timer oscillation circuit to generate a square wave signal of a preset frequency and transmit it to the first trigger.

[0042] Optionally, the preset frequency can be set according to actual needs, such as being set to 1 MHz.

[0043] Optionally, the first trigger and the second trigger are both D-type triggers, and the D-type trigger can use SN74HC74PWT chip. Each trigger can have independent data, set, reset, clock input and phase complementary output terminals.

[0044] Optional, see Figure 4 The first trigger is used to convert the received square wave signal into a set of two-way frequency-divided pulse signals with a phase stagger of 180°, and then transmit it to the second trigger. The second trigger is used to convert the received set of two-way frequency-divided pulse signals with a phase stagger of 180° into two sets of two-way frequency-divided pulse signals with a phase stagger of 90°, and then transmit the converted two sets of signals to the two drive units respectively (that is, each drive unit will receive a set of two-way frequency-divided pulse signals with a phase stagger of 90°).

[0045] The following is an example of generating a square wave signal with a preset frequency of 1MHz and a duty cycle of 0.5:

[0046] When the first trigger is triggered by the rising edge of the clock, the 1MHz square wave signal with a duty cycle of 0.5 is converted into a set of two-frequency pulse signals with a duty cycle of 0.5 and a phase stagger of 180° after logical transformation (the frequency is 500kHz). When the second trigger is triggered by the rising edge of the clock, the one set of two-frequency pulse signals with a duty cycle of 0.5 and a phase stagger of 180° is converted into two sets of two-frequency pulse signals with a duty cycle of 0.5 and a phase stagger of 90° (phase complementary 180°) after logical transformation (the frequency is 250kHz; and the two sets are staggered by 90°, that is, the pulse signals obtained by the two drive units have a phase difference of 90°).

[0047] Optionally, an RC circuit and a driver can be set in the drive unit, see Figure 5 , using the driver threshold voltage V OBy creating a dead zone through the charge and discharge time of the RC circuit, the generated drive signal can maintain the same frequency and a phase difference of 90°, forming a phase-staggered working mode. That is, the drive unit receives a set of two-frequency pulse signals with a phase stagger of 90° (phase complementary 180°), first through the RC circuit for filtering, and then adjusts the time constant of the RC circuit to set the dead zone time T DEAD , so that the driver can convert a set of two-frequency pulse signals after RC filtering into a set of dead time T DEAD The phase of the drive signal is complementary to that of the transistor by 180°, and the driver finally outputs the generated drive signal to the corresponding transformer.

[0048] Among them, the dead time T DEAD It can be set according to actual needs, such as 300ns.

[0049] Optionally, in the transformer circuit, when multiple transformers are staggered in parallel, the adopted topology structure can be Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, etc., which can be selected according to the specific application scenario and power requirements. That is, the transformer circuit can adopt the existing multiple staggered parallel transformer structure, and each signal output end of each driving unit in the driving circuit can be connected to the control end of the corresponding switch tube module Q of each transformer (such as the gate of the MOS tube in the switch tube module Q).

[0050] Optionally, the multiple transformers may be grouped according to the number of drive units. For example, when the number of drive units is two, the multiple transformers may be divided into two groups, and the transformers in the same group are driven by the same drive unit.

[0051] Optional, see Figure 2 In each transformer, the transformer main board adopts a multi-layer circuit board structure, which can improve the compactness of the transformer and the rectifier winding arranged on the main board, and help to improve the power density. Among them, the multi-layer circuit board can be a thick copper circuit board.

[0052] The rectifier winding is set on the transformer mainboard, and its core is composed of the corresponding copper foil in each layer of the circuit board (that is, the copper foil at the winding setting, and one layer of copper foil can form a winding), and the rectifier winding core includes multiple primary windings and multiple secondary windings ( Figure 3 The figure shows a rectifier winding structure of 6 primary windings + 6 secondary windings; in this case, the multi-layer circuit board structure is composed of 12 layers of circuit boards, and one winding can be set on each layer). In the rectifier winding core, the primary winding and the secondary winding are staggered and stacked. After the rectifier winding core adopts the staggered stacking design, the overall structure is more compact, and a higher power density can be achieved in a limited space, which is suitable for application scenarios with small volume requirements.

[0053] It should be understood that, in addition to the rectifier winding, the transformer mainboard also includes other necessary components of the transformer, such as other components used in conjunction with the rectifier winding.

[0054] The top layer of the rectifier winding core is provided with a first bus bar as a top winding plate, and the first bus bar is connected in parallel with half of the secondary windings, so that the first bus bar is also equivalent to being used as one of the secondary windings; the bottom layer of the rectifier winding core is provided with a second bus bar as a bottom winding plate, and the second bus bar is connected in parallel with the other half of the secondary windings, so that the second bus bar is also equivalent to being used as one of the secondary windings.

[0055] A bus bar (also called a laminated bus bar) is a multi-layer laminated structure electrical connection component for power modules that can connect the power distribution of multiple circuits.

[0056] For example, Figure 3 As shown, taking the original number of secondary windings of the rectifier winding core as 6 as an example (the number of primary windings is also 6 at this time), 3 secondary windings are connected in parallel with the first bus bar, and the other 3 secondary windings are connected in parallel with the second bus bar (two bus bars plus the original 6 secondary windings can increase the number of secondary windings to 8 in a 12-layer circuit board).

[0057] Among them, the half of the secondary winding connected in parallel with the first bus bar and the other half of the secondary winding connected in parallel with the second bus bar are also arranged in an alternate and stacked manner.

[0058] Optional, see Figure 3 The circuit structure related to the windings in the transformer shown is as follows: the first bus bar and half of the secondary winding are connected in parallel between the voltage output terminal Uo of the transformer and one of the switch tube modules Q, and are grounded through the switch tube module Q; the second bus bar and the other half of the secondary winding are connected in parallel between the voltage output terminal Uo of the transformer and another of the switch tube modules Q, and are grounded through the switch tube module Q. This configuration can achieve current shunting and improve the efficiency of current transmission. Moreover, this parallel design also helps to ensure the voltage stability and reliability between the voltage output terminal Uo and the ground wire GND.

[0059] Optionally, the first bus bar and half of the secondary winding connected in parallel with the first bus bar are defined as a first secondary module, wherein the first secondary module is connected to the ground wire GND via a switch tube module Q, and based on the switch tube module Q, the first secondary module can be controlled to be enabled or not.

[0060] Optionally, the second bus bar and the other half of the secondary winding connected in parallel with the second bus bar are defined as a second secondary module, wherein the second secondary module is connected to the ground wire GND via another switch module Q, and based on the switch module Q, the second secondary module can be controlled to be enabled or not.

[0061] Optionally, each switch tube module Q is provided with at least one MOS tube (not shown in the figure); or, each switch tube module Q is provided with a plurality of MOS tubes (not shown in the figure) connected in parallel.

[0062] Among them, the MOS tube in the switch tube module Q can be controlled by the drive signal output by the above drive circuit (output by the drive unit in the drive circuit) to make the MOS tube in the required on or off state, thereby realizing the control of the circuit (the switch tube module Q in the same transformer is driven by the same drive unit). This design can effectively realize the precise control of the MOS tube, so that it can play a specified function in the circuit.

[0063] It should be understood that the transformer circuit has multiple transformers connected in parallel, and the connection method between any transformer and the drive circuit can be adopted. Figure 3 The connection method between the driving circuit and the switching tube module Q in the transformer is shown.

[0064] Optionally, in the transformer circuit, the switch tube modules Q in the transformers of different groups are controlled and driven by the non-driving unit (i.e., the driving unit in the driving circuit). This ensures that the staggered parallel transformers all operate at the same switching frequency, and the conduction time of the voltage outputs are staggered by a certain time. When N transformers are connected in parallel, the conduction phase difference between each transformer is π / N, which can reduce the total ripple current and voltage and greatly improve the power density and thermal balance of the power module.

[0065] Optionally, based on the above scheme, the driving signals of the switch tube modules Q can be arbitrarily combined to maintain the same frequency and a phase difference of π, π / 2…π / n, forming an open-loop phase-staggered working mode, which can significantly reduce the output ripple voltage and current. At the same time, the ripple frequency is also increased by n times that of a single transformer, and the power density is greatly improved.

[0066] This open-loop phase interleaving operation mode can bring more flexibility and advantages to the system design of DC regulated power supplies, especially in power conversion solutions that require high efficiency and high density. Through detailed phase control and combined drive signal methods, system performance can be further optimized to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0067] At the same time, since the busbars in each transformer can be used as secondary windings to effectively disperse the current (i.e., reduce the current density), the heat on the winding plate is reduced, so that the power density of the transformer can be made higher. That is, by setting the first and second busbars on the top and bottom layers of the rectifier winding core respectively, and connecting them in parallel with other secondary windings, the first busbar and the second busbar are actually used as a secondary winding respectively. This design increases the reusability of the rectifier winding, fully utilizes the structural space of the transformer, and improves the overall efficiency and power density of the transformer. This ingenious design ensures that the transformer achieves higher power output in a limited space while maintaining good thermal management and stability.

[0068] In this way, for the same number of layers of circuit boards, the current density of the rectifier winding is smaller and the power density of the transformer is higher. In addition, the first bus bar and the second bus bar are also used as a secondary winding, which can reduce the interlayer thermal resistance of the multi-layer circuit board and improve the heat dissipation performance. This ensures that the transformer achieves more efficient power output within a limited space and maintains good stability and reliability.

[0069] In one embodiment, phase staggered control driving is implemented between multiple transformers staggered in parallel in a DC regulated power supply, and it is ensured that these transformers operate at the same switching frequency and the conduction time of the voltage outputs are staggered by a certain time, so as to effectively reduce the total ripple current and voltage while improving the power density of the DC regulated power supply, thereby reducing the control loss of the corresponding switch tube in the transformer, and further reducing the total control loss of the DC regulated power supply, thereby improving the power density of the DC regulated power supply in a low-power manner.

[0070] At the same time, in each transformer, by using busbars as the winding plates at the top and bottom layers of the rectifier winding and using the busbars as the secondary winding, the current density of the rectifier winding is reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the rectifier winding, and reducing the thermal resistance between layers of the multi-layer circuit board, and the heat dissipation performance is better. By reducing the heat generation of the rectifier winding, the power density of the transformer can be made higher, and the safety and stability of the transformer can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the DC regulated power supply.

[0071] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the rectifier winding core, the first bus bar, and the second bus bar are all provided with through holes, a first magnetic core is provided on the first bus bar, and a second magnetic core is provided under the second bus bar; and the protruding magnetic strip in the first magnetic core passes through the through hole and contacts with the second magnetic core;

[0072] A through slot is also provided on the periphery of the rectifier winding core, and a magnetic block adapted to the through slot is also provided in the first magnetic core, and the magnetic block passes through the through slot and contacts with the second magnetic core.

[0073] In this embodiment, corresponding through holes are provided in the rectifier winding core, the first bus bar, and the second bus bar (the specifications of the through holes in the three may be consistent or inconsistent; for example, the through hole diameters of the first bus bar and the second bus bar may be larger than the through hole diameter of the rectifier winding core to facilitate assembly), a first magnetic core is provided on the first bus bar, and a second magnetic core is provided under the second bus bar; a raised magnetic strip is provided in the first magnetic core, which can pass through the through holes in the first bus bar, the rectifier winding core, and the second bus bar; when the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core are used in combination with the first bus bar, the rectifier winding core, and the second bus bar, the magnetic strip on the first magnetic core passes through the through holes in the first bus bar, the rectifier winding core, and the second bus bar in turn to contact the second magnetic core, and in this way, the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core can achieve mutual magnetic attraction.

[0074] This design is to achieve effective magnetic coupling between the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core. By setting through holes in the first bus bar, the rectifier winding core, and the second bus bar, and designing a raised magnetic strip in the first magnetic core, it is possible to ensure good docking and contact between the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core, and to adsorb each other. This design helps to maximize the transfer of magnetic energy and ensure the efficient operation of the rectifier winding. Moreover, by optimizing the magnetic circuit, the efficiency and performance of the transformer can be improved, while reducing energy loss and heat generation, making the transformer more stable and reliable.

[0075] At the same time, a through slot is arranged on the periphery of the rectifier winding core, and a magnetic block adapted to the through slot is designed in the first magnetic core. When the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core are used in combination with the rectifier winding core, the magnetic block on the first magnetic core passes through the through slot and contacts the second magnetic core. The through slot provides an additional contact area, so that the magnetic block contacts the second magnetic core more closely, thereby increasing the transmission efficiency of magnetic energy.

[0076] This not only further enhances the magnetic coupling between the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core, but also allows the first bus bar, the rectifier winding core and the second bus bar to be clamped in the middle by the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core, thereby simplifying the assembly process and facilitating the assembly and fixation of the magnetic core and the rectifier winding core, the first bus bar and the second bus bar.

[0077] Optionally, the second magnetic core is a rectangular magnetic plate.

[0078] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 6, the square wave generating unit comprises a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first capacitor C1 and a timer; wherein, the power supply terminal VCC of the timer is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal, the first resistor R1 is externally connected between the power supply terminal VCC and the discharge terminal DIS of the timer, the discharge terminal DIS (i.e., Disch port) is also connected to the threshold pin TH (i.e., THRES port) and the trigger terminal TR (i.e., Trigger port) of the timer respectively through the external second resistor R2, and the trigger terminal TR is also grounded through the first capacitor C1; the signal output terminal OUT of the timer is the signal output terminal OUT of the square wave generating unit.

[0079] In this embodiment, the frequency and duty cycle of the square wave can be adjusted by controlling the values ​​of the resistor and capacitor using the basic working principle of the timer. In the square wave generating unit, the working frequency of the timer is determined by the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1, while the duty cycle is controlled by the second resistor R2. Therefore, by reasonably selecting the values ​​of the resistor and capacitor, the desired square wave output can be achieved.

[0080] Optionally, the first resistor R1 is connected between the power supply terminal VCC and the discharge terminal DIS of the timer, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first resistor R1 and the discharge terminal DIS, and the other end is connected to the threshold pin TH and the trigger terminal TR of the timer (equivalent to the threshold pin TH and the trigger terminal TR being short-circuited). The first capacitor C1 is connected between the trigger terminal TR of the timer and the ground line GND.

[0081] Optionally, by controlling the first capacitor C1 to charge and discharge repeatedly within a preset voltage range, the timer can generate and output a square wave signal of a preset frequency. Assuming that the DC voltage provided by the first power supply terminal is U, the value range of the preset voltage range can be [1 / 3U, 2 / 3U].

[0082] When the square wave generating unit is working, the first capacitor C1 is charged to 2 / 3U through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and then the output voltage is reversed, so that the first capacitor C1 is discharged to 1 / 3U through the second resistor R2, and then the first capacitor C1 is recharged to 2 / 3U, and then the output voltage is reversed again, and so on and so forth, so that the timer can have the conditions to generate a square wave signal of a preset frequency.

[0083] Optionally, the specific values ​​of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the first capacitor C1 can be set according to the frequency of the square wave signal to be generated; for example, in order to enable the timer to generate a 1MHz square wave signal, the first resistor R1 can be set to 1KΩ, the second resistor R2 can be set to 500Ω, and the first capacitor C1 can be set to 1µF.

[0085] In this embodiment, the third resistor R3 and the reset signal input terminal RST are used to implement the reset function of the timer. When the reset signal input terminal RST receives the reset signal input from the outside, the third resistor R3 controls the reset terminal RE of the timer to remain in the reset state. In the reset state, the timer will be reset, thereby ensuring that the square wave generating unit restarts timing after receiving the reset signal, so as to ensure that the system can accurately reset the state of the square wave signal when needed.
