[0002] At present, the phase-shifted full-bridge plus full-bridge rectifier is a commonly used topology for charging new energy vehicles. In practical applications, the voltage stress of the output diode when the inductor current in the filter circuit is discontinuous will be much greater than the voltage stress of the output diode when the inductor current is continuous. In order to ensure the reliability of the output diode, a diode with a higher withstand voltage is often selected to meet the discontinuous working condition of the inductor current. However, the forward voltage drop of the diode with a high withstand voltage is relatively large, and the loss is greater, which will reduce the overall efficiency of the power supply.

[0021] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the relevant technologies involved in this application are first introduced.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of a diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the diode voltage stress improvement circuit 1 includes an output rectification circuit 10, a current sampling circuit 20, a filter circuit 30, a comparison circuit 40, a short circuit 50 and an output capacitor C1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the output rectifier circuit 10 includes a second diode D1, a third diode D2, a fourth diode D3 and a fifth diode D4, one end of the second diode D1 is respectively connected to one end of the first inductor L1 and one end of the third diode D2, the other end of the second diode D1 is respectively connected to one end of the secondary winding of the transformer 60 and one end of the fourth diode D3, the other end of the third diode D2 is respectively connected to the other end of the secondary winding and one end of the fifth diode D4, and the other end of the fifth diode D4 is respectively connected to the other end of the fourth diode D3 and the current sampling circuit 20.

[0035] Among them, the output diode voltage stress of the differential mode inductor (first inductor) in the full-bridge rectifier circuit in the discontinuous state is higher than the output diode voltage stress of the differential mode inductor in the continuous state. Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 , Figure 3 : is a curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a full-bridge rectifier circuit of a first moment mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application provides a full-bridge rectifier circuit of the second moment mode. The full-bridge rectifier circuit includes an output rectifier current circuit, a filter circuit and an output capacitor C1. The output rectifier circuit includes a second diode D1, a third diode D2, a fourth diode D3 and a fifth diode D4. The filter circuit includes a first inductor L1. Taking the second diode D1 as an example, when the current of the first inductor L1 is continuous, at the moment mode of t1-t2, that is, the first moment mode, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the current flow direction of the full-bridge rectifier circuit is Figure 4 The direction of the arrow in is the mode at time t2-t3, that is, the second mode, such as Figure 5 As shown, the current flow direction of the full-bridge rectifier circuit is Figure 5The direction of the arrow in the figure. At t1-t2, the voltage across the transformer is 0V, and the second diode D1, the third diode D2, the fourth diode D3, and the fifth diode D4 are all turned on. VD1=VD2=VD3=VD4=0V. At t2, the energy transfer phase begins, and the transformer voltage changes from zero to Vs; the third diode D2 and the fourth diode D3 are turned on, and the second diode D1 and the fifth diode D4 are turned off. VD2=0V, VD1=Vs+VD2=Vs. At this time, the voltage stress of the second diode D1 is the highest.

[0036] Among them, see Figure 6-Figure 8 , Figure 6 is another curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 A full-bridge rectifier circuit of the third moment mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 It is a full-bridge rectifier circuit of the fourth moment mode provided by an embodiment of the present application. Taking the second diode D1 as an example, when the current of the first inductor L1 is intermittent, at the moment t1-t2, the voltage across the transformer is 0V; the second diode D1, the third diode D2, the fourth diode D3, and the fifth diode D4 are all turned on. VD1=VD2=VD3=VD4=0V; at the moment t1-t2, the voltage stress of the second diode D1 is the same as when the current is continuous. At the moment t2-t3, the output capacitor voltage is equal to Vo, and the output capacitor charges the parasitic capacitance of the output diode through the first inductor L1. The first inductor L1 and the parasitic capacitance of the output diode form an LC oscillation circuit. During the oscillation process, the voltage of the first inductor L1 will be superimposed on the output capacitor voltage and act on the parasitic capacitance of the output diode. VD2+VD4=VD1+VD3 will be charged to a maximum of 2Vo, such as Figure 7As shown. At this time, VD1=VD3=VD2=VD4=Vo, and the secondary voltage of transformer 60 is still equal to 0V. In the mode at time t3, the current of the first inductor L1 is equal to 0. At time t3-t4, the negative half-cycle energy transfer begins, and the secondary winding of the transformer charges the parasitic capacitance of the second diode D1 through the parasitic capacitance of the third diode D2. The secondary voltage gradually rises from 0V to Vs, VD1 gradually rises from Vo to Vo+Vs / 2, and VD2 gradually decreases from Vo to Vo-Vs / 2. As shown in the mode diagram at time t4. At this time, the voltage stress of the second diode D1 is the highest, which is Vs / 2+Vo. After time t4: the voltage on the parasitic capacitance of the second diode D1, the third diode D2, the fourth diode D3, and the fifth diode D4 is transferred to the output capacitor through the first inductor L1, VD1 gradually decreases to Vs, VD2 gradually decreases to 0V, and the third diode D2 is turned on to enter the energy transfer stage. It can be seen that when the current of the first inductor L1 is continuous, the maximum voltage stress of the output diode is Vs, and when the current of the first inductor L1 is intermittent, the voltage stress of the output diode reaches Vs / 2+Vo. Usually, Vs=Vo / 0.9. When the current of the first inductor L1 is continuous, the maximum voltage stress of the output diode is Vs=1.11Vo. When the inductor current is intermittent, the voltage stress of the output diode can reach Vs / 2+Vo=1.56Vo, that is, the intermittent state will be about 0.45Vo higher than the continuous state.

[0037] Among them, see Figure 9-11 , Fig. 9 is another curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current provided in an embodiment of the present application, Fig.10 Another diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application is Fig.11 It is another diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application. After the full-bridge rectifier circuit introduces a current sampling circuit, a comparison circuit and a short-circuit circuit, a diode voltage stress improvement circuit is formed. The diode voltage stress improvement circuit includes an output rectifier current circuit, a filter circuit, a current sampling circuit, a comparison circuit, a short-circuit circuit and an output capacitor C1. The output rectifier circuit includes a second diode D1, a third diode D2, a fourth diode D3 and a fifth diode D4. The filter circuit includes a first inductor L1, and the short-circuit circuit includes a first switch tube Q1 and a first diode D5. Taking the second diode D1 as an example, when the current of the first inductor L1 is intermittent, in the mode at time t2, that is, the mode at the third time, the current flow direction of the diode voltage stress improvement circuit is Fig.10 In the direction of the arrow in the figure, at the mode at time t3, i.e. the fourth mode, the current flow direction of the diode voltage stress improvement circuit is Fig.11The direction of the arrow in. At t1-t2, the current of the first inductor L1 is in the continuous stage, and the voltage across the transformer is 0V; the second diode D1, the third diode D2, the fourth diode D3, and the fifth diode D4 are all turned on, and VD1=VD2=VD3=VD4=0V. At t2-t3, the output capacitor voltage is equal to Vo, and the output capacitor charges the parasitic capacitance of the output diode through the first inductor L1. At this time, the current sampling result is negative, the comparator output result is 1, and the first switch tube Q1 is turned on. The output capacitor charges the parasitic capacitance of the output diode through the first switch tube Q1 and the first diode D5, as shown in the modal diagram at t2. Since the charging circuit has no inductive devices and has a small impedance, the parasitic capacitance voltage of a single output diode is charged to half of the output voltage in a very short time. In steady state, the voltage VD1=VD2=VD3=VD4=Vo / 2. At t3-t4: the negative half-cycle energy transfer begins, and the secondary winding charges VD1 through VD2, as shown in the modal diagram at t3. Since Vs>Vo, VD2 can gradually drop from Vo / 2 to 0V, and the third diode D2 is turned on. After the third diode D2 is turned on, the voltage across the second diode D1 is equal to the secondary winding voltage, and eventually the secondary voltage rises to Vs, and the voltage across the second diode D1 also rises to Vs. It can be seen that when the differential-mode inductor current is discontinuous, the output diode voltage stress is Vs at most. When the differential-mode inductor current is continuous, the output diode voltage stress is also Vs at most. The output diode voltage stress is consistent when the current of the first inductor L1 is in the discontinuous state and the continuous state. In fact, compared with the full-bridge rectifier circuit, the diode voltage stress improvement circuit reduces the maximum output diode voltage stress from Vs / 2+Vo=1.56Vo to Vs=1.1Vo, which is reduced by 0.45Vo, and greatly reduces the voltage stress of the output diode when the current of the first inductor L1 is in the intermittent state. Therefore, the output diode can choose a diode with a lower withstand voltage. The forward voltage drop VF of the diode with a lower withstand voltage is smaller, the loss is lower, and the overall efficiency of the power supply will be higher.

[0038] It can be seen that the diode voltage stress improvement circuit introduces a current sampling circuit, a comparison circuit and a short-circuit circuit on the basis of a full-bridge rectifier circuit, and short-circuits the filter circuit through the short-circuit circuit when the inductor current of the filter circuit is in a discontinuous state and the current sampling result is a negative value. At this time, the output capacitor quickly charges the parasitic capacitance of the diode in the output rectifier circuit through the short-circuit circuit and reaches a steady state. The parasitic capacitance of the inductor and the output diode cannot form an LC oscillation circuit, that is, the inductor voltage and the output capacitor voltage cannot be superimposed on the parasitic capacitance of the output diode. This can reduce the maximum voltage stress of the diode in the output rectifier circuit, so that the output rectifier circuit can use a diode with a lower withstand voltage, and the forward voltage drop is relatively small, and the loss is relatively small, which is beneficial to improve the overall efficiency of the power supply.
