[0002] Currently, a phase-shifted full-bridge plus full-bridge rectifier topology is commonly used for charging new energy vehicles. In practical applications, when the inductor current in the filter circuit is discontinuous, the voltage stress on the output diode is much greater than when the inductor current is continuous. To ensure the reliability of the output diode, a higher voltage diode is often selected to meet the discontinuous inductor current operating conditions. However, a high-voltage diode has a relatively large forward voltage drop, resulting in greater losses and reduced overall power supply efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0052] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the relevant technologies involved in this application are first introduced.

[0053] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1As 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.

[0054] The output rectifier circuit 10 is respectively connected to the transformer 60, the current sampling circuit 20, the filter circuit 30 and the short-circuit circuit 50; the current sampling circuit 20 is respectively connected to the comparison circuit 40 and the output capacitor C1; the filter circuit 30 is respectively connected to the short-circuit circuit 50 and the output capacitor C1; the comparison circuit 40 is connected to the short-circuit circuit 50; and the comparison circuit 40 is grounded.

[0057] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of a diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application. The shorting circuit 50 in this embodiment includes a first diode D5 and a first switch Q1.

[0061] In addition to the shunt, other current sampling devices may also replace the shunt, such as a sampling resistor, a current transformer, and a Hall current sensor, which are not limited here.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the inductor current of the first inductor L1 is in a continuous state, the current sampling result of the shunt is a positive value;

[0063] When the inductor current of the first inductor L1 is in a discontinuous state and the diode in the output rectifier circuit 10 is not yet fully charged, the current sampling result of the shunt is a negative value;

[0064] When the inductor current of the first inductor L1 is in a discontinuous state and the diode in the output rectifier circuit 10 is finished charging, the current sampling result of the shunt is zero.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the current sampling result is a positive value, the comparator outputs a first comparison result, and the first switch is turned off;

[0067] The first comparison result may be 0, and the second comparison output result may be 1.

[0068] 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.

[0069] The output diode voltage stress of the differential-mode inductor (first inductor) in the full-bridge rectifier circuit is higher when the inductor current is discontinuous than when the inductor current is continuous. Figure 3-Figure 5 , Figure 3: This embodiment of the present application provides a curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current. Figure 4 This is a full-bridge rectifier circuit of the first moment mode provided by 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 t1-t2 mode, 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 , 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 5 The arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the voltage across the transformer. At time t1-t2, the voltage across the transformer is 0V, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4 are all conducting. VD1 = VD2 = VD3 = VD4 = 0V. At time t2, the energy transfer phase begins, and the transformer voltage changes from zero to Vs. The third and fourth diodes D2 and D3 conduct, while the second and fifth diodes D1 and D4 are off. VD2 = 0V, and VD1 = Vs + VD2 = Vs. At this time, the voltage stress on the second diode D1 is the highest.

[0070] Among them, see Figure 6-Figure 8 , Figure 6 This is another curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 This is a full-bridge rectifier circuit of the third moment mode provided by 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 modal state at time t3, the current in 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 modal diagram at time t4. At this time, the voltage stress on 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 transfers energy to the output capacitor through the first inductor L1. VD1 gradually decreases to Vs, and VD2 gradually decreases to 0V. The third diode D2 turns on and enters the energy transfer stage. It can be seen that when the current in the first inductor L1 is continuous, the output diode voltage stress reaches a maximum of Vs. When the current in the first inductor L1 is discontinuous, the output diode voltage stress reaches Vs / 2+Vo. Typically, Vs=Vo / 0.9. When the current in the first inductor L1 is continuous, the output diode voltage stress reaches a maximum of Vs=1.11Vo. When the current in the inductor L1 is discontinuous, the output diode voltage stress reaches Vs / 2+Vo=1.56Vo. In other words, the output diode voltage stress in the discontinuous state is approximately 0.45V higher than that in the continuous state.

[0071] Among them, see Figures 9-11 , Figure 9 This is another curve diagram of transformer secondary voltage and inductor current provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 This is another diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 11 It is another diode voltage stress improvement circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. After the full-bridge rectifier circuit introduces the current sampling circuit, the comparison circuit and the 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 discontinuous, at the time mode of t2, that is, the third time mode, the current flow direction of the diode voltage stress improvement circuit is Figure 10 In the direction of the arrow in the figure, at the moment t3 mode, that is, the fourth moment mode, the current flow direction of the diode voltage stress improvement circuit is Figure 11The direction of the arrow in the figure. At time t1-t2, the current in the first inductor L1 is in the continuous phase, and the voltage across the transformer is 0V. The second diode D1, third diode D2, fourth diode D3, and fifth diode D4 are all conducting, with VD1 = VD2 = VD3 = VD4 = 0V. At time 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 is 1, and the first switch Q1 is turned on. The output capacitor charges the parasitic capacitance of the output diode through the first switch Q1 and the first diode D5, as shown in the modal diagram at time t2. Because this charging circuit has no inductive components and low impedance, the parasitic capacitance voltage of a single output diode is charged to half the output voltage in a very short time. In steady state, the voltage VD1 = VD2 = VD3 = VD4 = Vo / 2. At time t3-t4: energy transfer begins in the negative half-cycle, and the secondary winding charges VD1 through VD2, as shown in the modal diagram at time t3. Since Vs > Vo, VD2 can gradually decrease from Vo / 2 to 0V, and the third diode D2 turns on. After the third diode D2 turns on, the voltage across the second diode D1 equals the secondary winding voltage. Eventually, the secondary voltage rises to Vs, and the voltage across the second diode D1 also rises to Vs. As can be seen, when the differential-mode inductor current is discontinuous, the output diode voltage stress reaches a maximum of Vs. When the differential-mode inductor current is continuous, the output diode voltage stress also reaches a maximum of Vs. The output diode voltage stress is the same whether the current in the first inductor L1 is discontinuous or continuous. In fact, compared to 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, a reduction of 0.45V. This significantly reduces the output diode voltage stress when the current of the first inductor L1 is discontinuous. Therefore, the output diode can be selected with a lower voltage resistance. A diode with a lower voltage resistance has a smaller forward voltage drop VF, lower losses, and higher overall power supply efficiency.

[0072] 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 the 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, which has a relatively small forward voltage drop and relatively small loss, which is beneficial to improving the overall efficiency of the power supply.
