[0013] As a further optimization scheme of the table-free closed-loop control method of the four-switch Buck-Boost converter with the optimal variable load line, the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at a value meeting the zero voltage switching condition, specifically: the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at the minimum inductor charging phase duration or the minimum inductor charging phase duration meeting the zero voltage switching condition.

[0015] As a further optimization scheme of the table-free closed-loop control method of the four-switch Buck-Boost converter with the optimal variable load line, the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at a value meeting the zero voltage switching condition, specifically: the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at the minimum inductor charging phase duration or the minimum inductor charging phase duration meeting the zero voltage switching condition.

[0016] In the first stage, the converter operates at the maximum set switching frequency, and the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at a value meeting the zero voltage switching condition, then T1=(2*I ZVS )*L / V in , T2=(V pi -I zvs )*L / (V in -V out ), T`3=(V pi +I zvs )*L / V out , T`4=1 / f max -T1-T2-T`3, wherein T1 is the inductor charging phase duration parameter, T2 is the energy transfer phase duration parameter, T3′ is the inductor discharging phase duration parameter, T′4 is the inductor current holding phase duration parameter, I zvs is the maximum value of the given inductor current, L is the inductance of the inductor in the converter, V in is the input voltage of the converter, V pi is the peak value of the quadrilateral inductor current, V out is the output voltage of the converter, and f max is the maximum set switching frequency.

[0017] In the second stage, the converter works at a set maximum switching frequency, and the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at a value meeting the zero voltage switching condition; the inductor charging phase duration parameter, the energy transmission phase duration parameter, the inductor discharging phase duration parameter and the stage 1 value are the same, and the inductor current maintaining phase duration parameter is zero,

[0018] In the third stage, the converter working frequency is reduced, and the inductor charging phase duration parameter is clamped at a value meeting the zero voltage switching condition; T1=(2*I ZVS )*L / V in , T2=(V pi -I zvs )*L / (V in -V out ), f is a working frequency,

[0020] As a further optimization scheme of the four-switch Buck-Boost converter without table lookup closed-loop control method with an optimal variable load line, in the fourth stage, the expression of the minimum inductor charging phase duration meeting the zero voltage switching condition after being lifted is: Wherein, ΔIa is a lifting amount of the inductor current at the T1 end time, and ΔIb is a lifting amount of the inductor current at the T'3 start time.

[0021] As a further optimization scheme of the four-switch Buck-Boost converter without table lookup closed-loop control method with an optimal variable load line, the acquisition method of the quadrilateral inductor current peak value is: comparing an output voltage sampling value and an output voltage reference value, and performing PI regulation on the comparison result.

[0038] The present application proposes a four-switch Buck-Boost converter without lookup table closed-loop control method with optimal variable load circuit. In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] In view of the problems existing in the existing lookup table control method, the present application proposes a four-switch Buck-Boost converter without lookup table closed-loop control method with optimal variable load circuit as shown in the figure. Figure 1 The four-switch Buck-Boost converter includes: a first switch tube S1, a second switch tube S2, a third switch tube S3, a fourth switch tube S4, an inductance L, an output filter capacitor C O , a load R L , a first bridge arm composed of the first switch tube S1 and the second switch tube S2 in series connection is connected to an input voltage V in , a second bridge arm composed of the third switch tube S3 and the fourth switch tube S4 in series connection, the inductance L is connected between the midpoint of the first bridge arm and the midpoint of the second bridge arm, the output filter capacitor C O is connected in parallel across the second bridge arm, and the load R L is connected in parallel with the output filter capacitor C O .

[0040] The control method proposed by the present application performs PI operation on the difference between the output voltage V out and the given output voltage V ref , obtains a quadrilateral inductance current peak value V pi , the quadrilateral inductance current peak value V pi is I b in the Buck mode as shown in the figure Figure 2 , and is I a in the Boost mode as shown in the figure Figure 3 , follows the principle that the quadrilateral inductance current effective value is minimum in the load change process, and according to the quadrilateral inductance current peak value V pi , each time parameter meeting the soft switching condition can be obtained. Figure 4For the control flow chart of the method, the method is divided into digital control and analog control two parts, and the two parts are executed at the same time, and finally the driving signal generated according to the four-edge inductor current time parameters obtained by the digital control part and the analog control part is applied to the four switches in the four-switch Buck-Boost circuit. The method includes: optimal variable load circuit control strategy, driving signal trigger strategy and four-edge inductor current modulation strategy, and the control strategies of each part of the method are described below.

[0041] 1. Optimal variable load circuit control strategy

[0042] In most actual cases, the power P is in a variable range, which requires a discussion on how the four-edge inductor current changes within a certain power range to minimize its effective value. In the Buck mode, the optimal variable load circuit control strategy proposed is as shown in Figure 5 . Wherein Figure 5 There are four stages 1-4, which correspond to powers P1, P2, P3 and P4, respectively. The power of the four stages is P1 min <P2 max <P3 s <P4. During the process of increasing the load power, the frequency will also increase, and the change of the frequency is not conducive to the design and operation of the circuit, and the wider the frequency change, the more difficult it will be to design the front-end EMC circuit. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the effective value of the four-edge inductor current is minimized within a certain power range, the frequency is limited to a certain range [f min , f max ]. Wherein f s is the switching frequency, f max is the maximum value of the set switching frequency, and f min is the minimum value of the set switching frequency. This variable load circuit can keep the four-edge inductor current minimum in the wide power range of the FSBB converter and limit the change of the frequency to a certain extent to ensure stability.

[0043] In order to ensure the stability of the output voltage, PI control is required, in which the detected output voltage is compared with the set output voltage value, and the comparison value is considered as the peak value V pi of the four-edge inductor current after PI operation, as shown in Figure 6 . Wherein when T4 is not equal to 0, the four time parameters can be calculated by the following formula, corresponding to stage 1 in the optimal variable load circuit control strategy:

[0044] T1 = (2*I ZVS )*L / V in

[0045] T2 = (V pi -I zvs )*L / (V in -V out

[0046] T`3 = (V pi + I zvs )*L / V out

[0047] T`4 = 1 / f max -T1-T2-T`3

[0048] The inductance charging phase duration parameter T1, the energy transmission phase duration parameter T2, the inductance discharging phase duration parameter T'3 in the optimal variable load line control strategy phase 2 are the same as in phase 1, and the inductance current maintaining phase duration parameter T'4 = 0.

[0049] In the optimal variable load line control strategy phase 3, T1 maintains the optimal soft switching condition, and the power requirement is met by reducing the frequency, at this time, the three time parameters and the frequency can be obtained by the following formula:

[0050] T1 = (2*I ZVS )*L / V in

[0051] T2 = (V pi -I zvs )*L / (V in -V out )

[0052] T`3 = (V pi + I zvs )*L / V out

[0053]

[0054] In the optimal variable load line control strategy phase 4, the frequency has reached the minimum value, so it is necessary to lift the optimal soft switching clamp value, as shown in the following formula: Figure 7 T1 is greater than T 1_s at this time. The lifting relationship can be obtained through plane geometry, I a_const and I b_const are the maximum inductance current at the end of T1 and the maximum inductance current at the beginning of T3' when the frequency reaches the minimum value.

[0055]

[0056] The three time parameters in phase 4 can be calculated by the following formula:

[0057]

[0058] The above formulas are obtained in Buck mode, and Boost mode is similar, which is not described here. Since the logic is negative feedback, Vpi will be stable to the peak value of the corresponding quadrilateral inductor current.

[0059] 2. Drive signal trigger strategy

[0060] Since the above analysis is in the ideal case, and does not take into account the loss of the system, when the system has a certain loss, if the input power is fixed, the power delivered to the output side will decrease, resulting in a decrease in output voltage, that is, other equilibrium will be reached in open loop, which will result in the minimum value of the quadrilateral inductor current may not remain at -I zvs . In order to guarantee the minimum value of the quadrilateral inductor current and the soft switching of the switch tube, that is, the inductor current should be at -I zvs when T3 is turned on, the comparator circuit shown in Figure 8 can be used to amplify and compare the detected inductor current with the given -I zvs , and obtain the decision result Ti zvs whether the inductor current is equal to the minimum value of the quadrilateral inductor current -I L , through the drive signal trigger circuit shown in Figure 9 , combined with T3', T4' obtained by the optimal variable load circuit control strategy and the decision result Ti L , T3 and T4 are obtained, and the compensation waveform of the drive signal of the third switch tube S3 and the fourth switch tube S4 can be obtained according to T3 and T4, which can guarantee that the minimum value of the quadrilateral inductor current will not be less than or greater than -I zvs , which can guarantee the soft switching characteristics of the switch tube and make the output voltage stable at the given value in closed loop control.

[0061] 3. Quadrilateral inductor current modulation strategy

[0062] For a given frequency of quadrilateral inductor current, the four time parameters in quadrilateral inductor current modulation can be solved by the following formula:

[0063] V in (T1+T2)=V o (T2+T3)

[0064]

[0065] T1+T2+T3+T4=T s

[0066] V o *T3=2*L*I x

[0067] By solving the four time parameters of the quadrilateral inductor current, the duty cycles of the two bridge arms are respectively: D1=(T1+T2) / T sD2 = (T2 + T3) / T s The phase shift time of the two bridge arms is T1. The waveform of the quadrilateral inductor current in Buck mode is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the waveform in Boost mode is as follows Figure 3 As shown.

[0068] Through the reasoning of the above formula, the relationship between the quadrilateral inductor current and T1 is obtained as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the switching frequency f = 300kHz, the inductance L = 10uH, and the input voltage is V. in =270V.

[0069] like Figure 10 As shown, the three different lines represent the output voltage V. out The waveforms of the effective value of the quadrilateral inductor current at 160V, 270V, and 200V show that the smaller T1 is, the smaller the effective value of the quadrilateral inductor current will be. Figure 9 The dashed line represents the minimum T required to achieve soft switching. 1_s If T1 is less than T 1_s Therefore, soft switching cannot be achieved. In summary, in Buck mode, T1 is clamped in the minimum inductor charging phase duration T that satisfies the zero-voltage switching condition. 1_s Alternatively, T1 can be taken as the minimum value of the inductor charging phase duration T. 1_min This is an effective method to ensure the soft-switching boundary conditions while achieving the minimum effective value of the quadrilateral inductor current. In Boost mode, clamping T3 to the minimum inductor discharge stage duration T that satisfies the zero-voltage switching condition is achieved. 3_s Alternatively, T3 can be taken as the minimum value of the inductor discharge phase duration T. 3_min It is an effective method to ensure the boundary conditions of soft switching while achieving the minimum effective value of quadrilateral inductor current.

[0070] Therefore, the quadrilateral inductor current modulation strategy precisely controls the turn-on and turn-off times of the four switching transistors, so that the inductor current forms a quadrilateral trajectory in each switching cycle, effectively improving the power supply efficiency and power density while reducing switching losses and electromagnetic interference.

[0071] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications made to the technical solutions based on the technical concept proposed in this invention shall fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
