[0042] Furthermore, a capacitor CX4 is provided between two ends of the common mode filter TX2.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 The main structure of the circuit of the present invention is an H-bridge composed of four MOS tubes. The left and right half bridges have equal functions. The left side is the low-voltage side. The AC voltage on the low-voltage side is connected to the midpoint of the left and right half bridge arms through the filter circuit. The right side is the high-voltage side. The high-voltage side is connected to the drain of the top upper tube of the left and right bridge arms through the filter circuit. This circuit has a bidirectional conversion function. If a slightly lower AC voltage is input from the left side, it can be converted to a relatively high-voltage AC voltage from the right output. Conversely, if a relatively high AC voltage is input from the right side, it can be converted to a relatively low AC voltage from the left output.

[0044] refer to Figure 2When CN1 inputs AC voltage, and its polarity is positive at the top and negative at the bottom, the control circuit determines it as a positive half-cycle of the power frequency. The control logic of this cycle is that the right bridge arm M3 and M4 are turned on at the same time, the left bridge arm works in the BOOST modulation state, the lower tube M2 is modulated by PWM, M1 is turned on for freewheeling when M2 is turned off, and the voltage after BOOST boost is output from the drain of M1 according to the duty cycle relationship. Under normal circumstances, the power frequency is 50-60HZ, the positive or negative half-cycle of the power frequency is 10mS, and the PWM modulation frequency is 20-120kHz. If the PWM modulation duty cycle is fixed at 50%, after the entire positive half-cycle of the power frequency ends, a sine positive half-cycle with an amplitude of the input voltage amplitude*2 will be obtained at both ends of the capacitor CX3, and the polarity is C positive and D negative. When CN1 inputs AC voltage, and its polarity is negative at the top and positive at the bottom, the control circuit determines that it is a negative half-cycle of the power frequency. The control logic of this cycle is that the left bridge arm M1 and M2 are turned on at the same time, and the right bridge arm works in the BOOST modulation state. The lower tube M3 is switched through PWM modulation, and M4 is turned on for freewheeling when M3 is turned off. The voltage after BOOST boost is output from the drain of M4 according to the duty cycle relationship. Similarly, after the negative half-cycle of the power frequency ends, a sinusoidal negative half-cycle with an amplitude of the input voltage amplitude * 2 will be obtained at both ends of the capacitor CX3, and the polarity is D positive and C negative. Finally, the voltage at both ends of the CX3 capacitor is coupled to the output terminal CN2 through L3, L4, CX4, TX2, CX5, and F2 to complete the boost process.

[0045] refer to Figure 3 When CN2 is connected to an AC voltage, and its polarity is positive at the top and negative at the bottom, the control circuit determines that it is a positive half-cycle of the power frequency. The control logic of this cycle is that the right bridge arms M3 and M4 are turned on at the same time, and the left bridge arm works in the BUCK modulation state. The upper tube M1 is modulated by PWM, and the lower tube M2 is turned on for freewheeling when M1 is turned off. The BUCK switch generates a high-frequency modulation waveform between the midpoint of the left bridge arm and the grounded midpoint of the right bridge arm. The energy is output from CX2, and the output voltage is A positive and B negative. The amplitude is proportional to the duty cycle of M1. When CN2 is connected to an AC voltage, and its polarity is negative on the top and positive on the bottom, the control circuit determines that it is a negative half-cycle of the power frequency. The control logic of this cycle is that the left bridge arm M1 and M2 are turned on at the same time, and the right bridge arm works in the BUCK modulation state. The upper tube M4 is modulated by PWM, and the lower tube M3 is turned on when M4 is turned off. The BUCK switch generates a high-frequency modulation waveform between the grounded midpoint of the left bridge arm and the midpoint of the right bridge arm. Energy is output from CX2, and the output voltage is B positive and A negative, and the amplitude is proportional to the duty cycle of M4. At this point, the input AC voltage of CN2 is output from CX2 to CN1 through the filter network loop TX1 and CX1 after the circuit step-down process.

[0046] In addition, this circuit adopts digital control method, which can achieve functions such as voltage regulation output, constant power output and overload protection by sampling current from RCS1 and RCS2, combined with simple input and output voltage sampling, and closed-loop control. Because the bulky power frequency common mode filter is abandoned, this type of finished product has the characteristics of small size, light weight, high power density, and relatively low cost.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application. Other principles and basic structures that are the same or similar to those of the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.
