[0038] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating the LLC resonant circuit parameter design method for a magnetic material magnetic property measurement system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0039] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0040] Given that the excitation signals provided by current experimental platforms for measuring soft magnetic materials are mostly ideal waveforms, which are difficult to effectively simulate the voltage and current characteristics under actual working conditions, it is of great significance to establish an actual circuit to provide the excitation signal for accurately measuring the magnetic properties of materials.

[0041] LLC resonant circuits can achieve soft-switching characteristics under various operating conditions, including no-load, half-load, and full-load. The voltage of the switching transistor can automatically return to zero before the drive voltage arrives, achieving zero-voltage turn-on of the switching transistor in the converter. When LLC resonance occurs in the converter, electrical current cannot be transmitted through the transformer, and the rectifier diodes are reverse-biased and cut off, achieving zero-current turn-off. Using soft-switching characteristics reduces the high switching losses caused by high frequencies and non-ideal components, resulting in circuits with high stability, low loss, and high efficiency, thus making them widely used in electrical equipment.

[0042] This application aims to use an improved topology of LLC resonant circuit as a measurement platform to establish an actual circuit that provides an excitation signal, thereby improving the accuracy of measuring the magnetic properties of materials.

[0043] Using an improved topology of the LLC resonant circuit as a measurement platform, it can replace the function generator and power amplifier simply by adding an input DC power supply. By changing the switching frequency of the switching transistors and replacing the resonant inductor, capacitor, and magnetic winding assembly, the magnetic properties of nanocrystalline materials excited by LLC circuits at different frequencies can be tested. Magnetic property detection and simulation of low-power nanocrystalline transformers based on LLC circuits can be performed, which not only meets the experimental testing requirements but also greatly reduces equipment costs and avoids measurement errors caused by ideal testing conditions.

[0044] Furthermore, current experimental platforms for measuring soft magnetic materials require instruments adapted for high frequencies with higher bandwidth requirements, which undoubtedly increases the cost of the equipment significantly. This application proposes a magnetic characteristic measurement system based on an LLC resonant circuit. This system can replace function generators and power amplifiers, eliminating dependence on expensive experimental equipment and effectively simulating excitation characteristics under actual working conditions.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a magnetic material magnetic property measurement system based on an LLC resonant circuit, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the magnetic property measurement system for magnetic materials based on LLC resonant circuits includes: a DC power supply. V in Square wave generator, resonant capacitor C r Resonant inductor L r Magnetic ring, primary winding of magnetic ring L p Secondary winding of magnetic ring L s rectifier and filter capacitor C 0. Load L o And a power analyzer; wherein, the magnetic ring is made based on the magnetic material to be tested.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the magnetic ring passes through L p1 ~ L p4 and L s1 ~ L s4 Connect to the measurement system. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The equivalent circuit diagram of the measurement system shown is provided. L m This is the magnetizing inductance of the magnetic ring. The DC power supply is also included. V in Square wave generator, resonant capacitor C r and resonant inductor L r Connect sequentially and connect to the primary winding of the magnetic ring. L p resonant capacitor C r Resonant inductor L rand the primary winding of the magnetic ring L p The magnetizing inductance forms a resonant circuit. To avoid unnecessary details from obscuring the description of the invention, in the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly stated, LLC refers to the resonant capacitor. C r Resonant inductor L r and the primary winding of the magnetic ring L p A resonant circuit composed of magnetizing inductors.

[0048] The square wave generator converts the input DC voltage into a square wave voltage, which serves as the input to the resonant network. The resonant network consists of a resonant capacitor. C r Resonant inductor L r Magnetizing inductance of magnetic ring L m Composition, resonant capacitor C r It also serves to block direct current.

[0049] In traditional methods, a square wave voltage is applied to the magnetic material via a signal generator and power amplifier, generating a triangular wave current. However, in this embodiment, under LLC resonant operation, the excitation signal is a square wave voltage, and the current is a trapezoidal current. Compared to the traditional triangular wave current, the trapezoidal current has a more concentrated and controllable peak current, which is beneficial for achieving precise control and measurement of the magnetic material's properties. Furthermore, due to the high efficiency of the LLC resonant circuit, the required voltage and current amplitudes can be reduced to achieve the same excitation effect, thereby reducing energy consumption and cost.

[0050] Rectifier connecting magnetic ring secondary winding L s A filter capacitor is connected in parallel across the rectifier. C 0 and load L o A power analyzer is used to collect the primary-side current and secondary-side voltage of a magnetic ring to determine the magnetic characteristic parameters of the magnetic material under test.

[0051] The voltage output from the rectifier passes through a capacitor. C After 0 filtering, a stable DC output is obtained to supply the load. L o use.

[0052] The power analyzer collects the primary-side current and secondary-side voltage of the magnetic ring and performs parameter analysis. Based on the parameters, the hysteresis loop of the magnetic material is plotted, and magnetic characteristic parameters such as loss and permeability are calculated.

[0053] In specific implementations, a magnetic ring made of the magnetic material to be tested is connected to the magnetic property measurement system according to specific testing requirements, and comparative testing of different magnetic materials to be tested can be achieved under the same working conditions.

[0054] In this embodiment, a resonant circuit is constructed using a resonant capacitor, a resonant inductor, and the magnetizing inductance of the primary winding of a magnetic ring. Based on this circuit, a magnetic material magnetic property measurement system is built. This system, through its component-based circuit structure, replaces the traditional function generator and power amplifier, thus eliminating reliance on expensive experimental equipment and effectively simulating excitation characteristics under actual operating conditions. In this system, a DC power supply, a square wave generator, a resonant capacitor, and a resonant inductor are connected sequentially and connected to the primary winding of the magnetic ring. A rectifier is connected to the secondary winding of the magnetic ring, with a filter capacitor and a load connected in parallel across its two ends. The square wave generator converts the input DC voltage into a square wave voltage, which serves as the input to the resonant network, driving the resonant circuit to operate under different conditions to simulate actual operating conditions. By acquiring the primary current and secondary voltage of the magnetic ring using a power analyzer, the magnetic property parameters of the magnetic material under test are determined. This measurement result, based on the voltage and current characteristics under actual operating conditions, helps reduce errors in the magnetic property measurement results.

[0055] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a magnetic material magnetic property measurement system based on an LLC resonant circuit, provided for another embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the square wave generator is a full-bridge structure, including: a first switching transistor. S 1. Second switching transistor S 2. Third switching transistor S 3 and the fourth switching transistor S 4;

[0057] The duty cycle of the drive signal for each switching transistor is 0.5; the first switching transistor... S 1. The phase difference between the drive signals of the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 is 180°.

[0058] Fourth switching transistor S 4 has a phase difference of 180° with the drive signals of the second switch S2 and the third switch S3, respectively.

[0059] The square wave generator, or inverter module, is meticulously constructed from four MOSFET devices, employing a highly efficient full-bridge structure. MOSFETs were chosen as the switching transistors due to their superior switching speed, extremely low on-resistance, and excellent thermal stability, which collectively enhance the precise control capabilities of the testing process. The duty cycle and phase difference of the drive signals for the switching transistors are designed to ensure a certain dead time to prevent shoot-through between two switches on the same bridge arm.

[0060] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rectifier is a full-bridge structure, including: a first rectifier diode D5, a second rectifier diode D6, a third rectifier diode D7, and a fourth rectifier diode D8.

[0061] exist Figure 3 The diagram also shows the control circuit and drive circuit, which work together to control the state of each switch in the square wave generator, thereby controlling the working state of the LLC and simulating actual working conditions.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, assume the switching frequency of the MOSFET is... f s , L r and C r The resonant frequency is f r , L r and L m and C r The resonant frequencies of the three are: f m Then we have:

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] LLCs have three working statuses.

[0066] ① f r < f At that time, LLC worked in L r and C r The resonant state, at this time is called LC Resonance occurs because although the primary-side MOSFET can achieve soft-switching, the secondary-side diode operates in continuous conduction mode and cannot achieve soft-switching.

[0067] ② fr < f < f m At that time, LLC worked in L r , L m , C r The resonant state, also known as LLC resonance, allows the circuit to achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the primary-side switching transistor and zero-current switching (ZCS) of the secondary-side rectifier diode. This is the ideal frequency range for the operation of the LLC resonant converter.

[0068] ③ f = f m When operating within this frequency range, the equivalent input impedance of the resonant network exhibits capacitive characteristics, constituting the ZCS operating region of the LLC resonant converter, and ZVS of the switching transistor cannot be achieved. Although achieving ZCS can reduce the switching losses of the switching transistor to some extent, for MOSFETs, the turn-off loss is much smaller than the turn-on loss.

[0069] Based on the measurement system provided in this application embodiment, simulation design can be performed for the above three working conditions. Since the second working condition is more commonly used in industry, the measurement system is mainly designed for the fully soft-switching characteristics of LLC circuits.

[0070] To facilitate understanding of the specific working principle of the magnetic property measurement system for magnetic materials based on LLC resonant circuits, Figure 3 The structural diagram shown is used for illustration. Figure 3 The image shows the magnetic ring passing through L p1 ~ L p4 and L s1 ~ L s4 Connect to the measurement system. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The equivalent circuit diagram of the measurement system structure shown is given, where, L m It is the magnetizing inductance of the magnetic ring.

[0071] When the LLC circuit operates during the positive half-cycle of the switching transistor, the LLC mode includes four modes, as follows: Figure 5a , 5b As shown in 5c and 5d.

[0072] exist Figure 5aIn the mode shown, the resonant current is less than zero, and the parasitic capacitance of the switching transistor has completed charging and discharging.

L m Resonant inductor L r Together with the resonant capacitor, they participate in resonance. Due to the magnetizing inductance...

D 5 and D 8 represents zero-current turn-off with no reverse recovery process. During this period, there is no energy transfer from the primary side to the secondary side, while the output filter capacitor on the secondary side transfers energy to the load.

This process is relatively short, approximately reducing the magnetizing inductor current. i Lm and resonant inductor current i Lr Assuming it remains unchanged, the magnetic ring no longer participates in energy transfer during this process, and the output filter capacitor...

[0076] When the converter enters the negative half-cycle, the switching modes of each switch are the same as those in the positive cycle, only in the opposite direction.

[0077] In summary, the embodiments of this application constructed an LLC resonant circuit and applied excitation signals under various operating conditions to the magnetic ring through the actual circuit, making the tested magnetic properties more accurate and enabling magnetic property testing within a wide frequency range of 20kHz to 200kHz. This testing system is suitable for comparative testing of different soft magnetic materials under the same operating conditions, eliminating the need to repeatedly construct the testing system, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of magnetic property testing and greatly reducing the cost of testing equipment.

[0079] The input of the digital sampler is used to collect the primary current and secondary voltage of the magnetic ring, respectively, and the output is used to connect to a power analyzer.

[0080] Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the measurement system also includes a current probe and a voltage probe connected to the input of the digital sampler;

[0081] The current probe and voltage probe respectively collect the primary current and secondary voltage of the magnetic ring.

[0082] Current and voltage probes possess high sensitivity and low interference characteristics, enabling them to accurately capture fluctuations in the primary-side current and secondary-side voltage of the magnetic ring, providing accurate data support for evaluating the magnetic characteristics of the ring. After initial signal acquisition, the output of the digital sampler transmits the data to the power analyzer for in-depth analysis and processing.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the magnetic material to be tested is ferrite, amorphous, nanocrystalline, or magnetic powder core.

[0084] In one possible implementation, magnetic rings made of different magnetic materials being tested are identical in shape and size.

[0085] Among them, the magnetic rings made of different magnetic materials to be tested are the same in shape and size, which ensures that when different magnetic materials to be tested are compared and analyzed, the primary current and secondary voltage data of the magnetic rings are highly comparable, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
