Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power converters, and in particular relates to a control method and a control circuit for a four-tube Buck-Boost PFC converter. Background Art
[0002] In daily life and industry, electrical energy is typically drawn from the AC power grid, while many electrical devices require DC power. Therefore, AC-DC converters are widely used in applications such as LED lighting power supplies, communication power supplies, battery chargers, and DC motor power supplies. Traditional AC-DC converters typically utilize a rectifier bridge plus filter capacitor circuit structure. This circuit structure offers advantages such as simplicity and low cost, but it also suffers from severe input current distortion and a significant phase difference with the input voltage, resulting in a low power factor. A low power factor can adversely impact the power grid by: 1) reducing the utilization of generators and transformers, increasing power supply costs; 2) increasing the effective value of the grid current and, consequently, increasing line transmission losses; and 3) causing voltage drops across the line impedance caused by input current harmonics, leading to grid voltage distortion, a so-called "secondary effect."
[0003] To improve the power factor of electrical equipment, power factor correction (PFC) technology is required. PFC technology can be categorized as either passive or active PFC, depending on whether active components such as switching transistors are used. Passive PFC circuits use a passive network composed of inductors, capacitors, and diodes to correct the input current waveform. While this circuit offers a simple structure, high reliability, and low cost, it offers limited improvement in power factor, and the output voltage cannot be adjusted, fluctuating significantly with input voltage and load, resulting in poor power quality. Among active PFC converters, the buck PFC converter has an input current dead zone, resulting in a low power factor. The boost PFC converter has no input current dead zone and can achieve unity power factor, but is only applicable in high-voltage output applications. Compared to the buck-boost PFC converter, the buck-boost PFC converter has no input current dead zone and offers flexible output voltage selection. However, its output voltage has a negative polarity and the voltage stress on the power transistor is high, being the sum of the input voltage peak and the output voltage. Adding a pair of switching transistors and a diode to a buck-boost PFC converter creates a two-transistor buck-boost PFC converter. This converter retains the advantages of the buck-boost PFC converter while reducing the voltage stress on the power transistors. However, due to the unidirectional conductivity of the diodes, the inductor current in the two-transistor buck-boost PFC converter can only flow in one direction, making zero voltage switching (ZVS) of the switches impossible. Replacing the two diodes in the two-transistor buck-boost PFC converter with synchronous rectifiers creates a four-transistor buck-boost PFC converter. In a four-transistor buck-boost PFC converter, the inductor current can flow in both directions, thereby achieving zero voltage switching (ZVS) for all switches. For a four-transistor buck-boost converter, PWM plus phase-shift control can be used to achieve zero voltage switching for all switches and minimize inductor current ripple.
[0004] When a four-switch Buck-Boost converter is used in a PFC converter, its input voltage and current are both rectified sinusoidal waves with a wide range of variation, which differs from the operating mode and design methods of DC-DC converters. Therefore, for a four-switch Buck-Boost PFC converter, finding a simple and feasible control scheme based on the wide range of input voltage and input current, combined with the control principles of a four-switch Buck-Boost converter, is an urgent problem for researchers in this field.

[0046] The present invention proposes a four-tube Buck-Boost PFC converter control method. Figure 1 The circuit structure diagram of the four-tube Buck-Boost PFC converter is shown in Figure 2. The four-tube Buck-Boost PFC converter mainly consists of four switching tubes Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, a filter inductor L c , an output filter capacitor C o , a rectifier bridge capacitor C g and an input voltage source v in The connected diode rectifier bridge is composed of the following components. The switch tube Q1 and the switch tube Q2 are complementary and conduction, forming a bridge arm unit, and the switch tube Q3 and the switch tube Q4 are complementary and conduction, forming a bridge arm unit. Inductor L c The two ends of the capacitor are connected to the midpoints of the bridge arms of the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 and the midpoints of the bridge arms of the switch tubes Q3 and Q4 respectively. The output filter capacitor C o The two ends of the rectifier bridge capacitor C are connected to the drain of the switch tube Q3 and the source of the switch tube Q4 to filter out the ripple of the switching frequency. g The two ends of the switch are connected to the drain of the switch tube Q1 and the source of the switch tube Q2 to absorb i g Short-term negative current to ensure v g In T s The interior remains basically unchanged.
[0047] The control method includes three control variables: the duty cycle D of the switch tube Q1 y1 , the duty cycle D of the switch tube Q4 y2, and the phase shift duty cycle D corresponding to the phase difference between the turn-on moments of Q1 and Q3 θ Among them, the control degree of freedom D y1 It is used to control the switching action of the switch tube Q1, and its inverse signal is used to control the switching action of the switch tube Q2; the control degree of freedom D y2 It is used to control the switching action of the switch tube Q4, and its inverse signal is used to control the switching action of the switch tube Q3; the control degree of freedom D θ It is used to control the phase difference between the turn-on time of switch tubes Q1 and Q3. To achieve soft switching of switch tubes Q1 and Q4, it is necessary to ensure that the inductor current is too negative before the switch tube is turned on, so that the junction capacitance of the switch tube is discharged to zero and the reverse parallel diode is naturally turned on. The magnitude of the negative current required is defined as –I ZVS To achieve soft switching of the switches Q2 and Q3, it is necessary to ensure that the inductor current is positive before the switch is turned on, discharge the junction capacitance of the switch to zero, and make its reverse-parallel diode naturally conduct.

[0052] Step 4: Under PRCM, the phase shift duty cycle D θ The theoretical calculated value is actually the input voltage v g and input current ig The function of phase shift duty cycle is approximated by a plane, thereby achieving the goal of simplifying control. The simplified phase shift duty cycle is a linear combination of the input voltage sampling value and the input current reference signal. g , the phase shift angle D between the phase difference of the switch tubes Q1 and Q3 at the time of opening is approximately calculated θ_PCRM ,Right now:
[0053] D θ_PCRM =K vg v g +K ig i g_ref +D θ_PCRM_dc

[0065]
[0066] (C) Q3 and Q4 drive signal generation circuit
[0067] The Q3 and Q4 drive signal generating circuit is used to obtain the drive signals of Q3 and Q4. Lc Descend to -I ZVS It must be turned off at the same time as Q1, and must not be turned off later than Q2 to ensure the optimal switching timing.

In order to ensure the optimal switching timing, CLK1 and v comp Perform an OR operation. If i LcFailure to drop to -I at the end of the switching cycle ZVS When CLK1 is high, Q2 and Q3 are turned off at the same time. The turn-on time of Q3 is determined by CLK2.

The sampling signal v g_s and v o_s It is sent to the subtractor and then clamped by the diode to generate the y input signal of Mult2, y Mult2 With v error Multiply and divide by v o_s , and then with D c_max V M Add them together to get D θ_PDCM The modulation signal v θ_PDCM ,for:
[0072]
[0073] In order to ensure that Lc There is enough pulsation to achieve ZVS of the switch tube, v θ Should take v θ_PCRM and v θ_PDCM The larger value of , but not more than v error , to ensure the optimal switching timing, that is:
[0074] v θ =min[max(v θ_PCRM ,v θ_PDCM ),v error ]
