Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the fields of modern industrial control, railways, communications, new energy, etc., modular power supplies are becoming more and more important because they can adapt to the needs of different voltage levels. With the development of high-tech industries such as national defense, military industry, and electric vehicles, higher requirements are placed on the power level, power density, voltage level, volume, and reliability of power supplies. In order to improve the adaptability and versatility of power supplies, modular power supplies came into being, with features including highly standardized parameters and dimensions, small size, high power density, and ease of various combined applications.

[0003] In many cases, a single power module cannot meet the power requirements of the system, so multiple power modules need to be combined. To ensure that the system can still operate stably when any module fails, redundant power modules are usually included in the system design. When a module fails, the system can automatically switch to the redundant module to ensure continuous and safe operation of the system.

[0004] In order to protect itself when other modules fail and to enable the system to switch redundant modules safely and reliably, the power module usually integrates an anti-reverse circuit. The most common method is to connect a diode in series on the power bus to ensure that the current flows in one direction. However, as the power of the module power increases, the bus current becomes larger and larger, and the conduction power consumption of the diode also increases, which not only reduces the power efficiency, but also requires additional heat dissipation measures for the safety and reliability of the device.

[0005] The current method for reducing power loss and voltage drop usually only supports an operating voltage of around 100V, which limits its use in high-voltage application scenarios.

[0025] The present application embodiment provides a backflow prevention circuit for a power module. Figure 1 to Figure 2 Describe in detail.

[0026] In one embodiment, the anti-backflow circuit of the power module includes a power unit and an anti-backflow control unit, wherein the power unit includes an input filter voltage stabilization circuit, a low-voltage switch tube Q1, a high-voltage switch tube Q2, a drive power supply V cc, a driving diode D1, a driving capacitor C1, a first driving voltage regulator ZD1 and an output filter voltage regulator circuit, one end of the input filter voltage regulator circuit is connected to the S end of the low-voltage switch tube Q1 and the driving power supply V of the switch tube cc The negative end of the input filter voltage stabilizing circuit is connected to the power ground; the D pole of the low voltage switch tube Q1 is respectively connected to the S pole of the high voltage switch tube Q2, one end of the driving capacitor C1 and the anode of the first driving voltage stabilizing tube ZD1, the D pole of the high voltage switch tube Q2 is connected to one end of the output filter voltage stabilizing circuit, and the driving power supply V cc The positive end is connected to the anode of the driving diode D1, and the cathode of the driving diode D1 is respectively connected to the other end of the driving capacitor C1, the cathode of the first driving voltage regulator ZD1, and the G pole of the high-voltage switch tube Q2; the other end of the output filtering voltage regulator circuit is connected to the power ground; the anti-backfeed control unit is connected to the low-voltage switch tube Q1.

[0027] Specifically, the anti-backflow control unit is configured as an Or i ng control chip U1, and the Or i ng control chip U1 includes V g Pin, V s pin and V D pin, the V g The pin is connected to the G pole of the low voltage switch tube Q1, and the V s The pin is connected to the S pole of the low voltage switch tube Q1, and the V D The pin is connected to the D pole of the low voltage switch tube Q1.

[0028] In specific implementation, in the anti-backflow circuit of the power module of the present application, the Or i ng control chip U1 is the Or ing controller, which is an intelligent management component that can dynamically monitor the current flow of the power system and take corresponding measures when an abnormality is detected. The two switching tubes, the low-voltage switch tube Q1 and the high-voltage switch tube Q2, play a key role in the circuit, replacing the diodes in the traditional circuit to control the flow of current. This replacement effectively reduces the loss of the circuit in the on state and improves efficiency, especially in high-voltage applications, which is more efficient than the traditional diode solution. Driving power supply V cc Provide the necessary driving voltage for the high-voltage switch tube Q2 to ensure its correct operation; the driving diode D1 is used to protect the circuit from the influence of reverse current and provide a path for the driving signal of the high-voltage switch tube Q2; the driving capacitor C1 is used to assist in smoothing the driving signal to ensure the stable operation of the high-voltage switch tube Q2; the driving voltage regulator ZD1 is used to limit the driving voltage to protect the high-voltage switch tube Q2 from being affected by excessive voltage; the input filter voltage regulator circuit is used to filter and smooth the input voltage to reduce the influence of voltage fluctuations on the circuit, which can be set to the input capacitor Cin The output filter voltage regulator circuit is used to filter and smooth the output voltage to ensure the stability of the load side voltage. It can be set to the output capacitor C out .

[0029] Under normal working conditions, the driving power supply V cc The high-voltage switch Q2 is driven by the driving diode D1, the driving capacitor C1, and the driving voltage regulator ZD1. The current passes through the low-voltage switch Q1 and the high-voltage switch Q2 in the power part. When the circuit has reverse current, the current will flow through the high-voltage switch Q2 and the low-voltage switch Q1 to the input capacitor C of the anti-reverse current circuit. in At this time, the Or i ng control chip U1 detects the reverse current and turns off the low-voltage switch tube Q1. As the low-voltage switch tube Q1 is turned off, the voltage across its DS begins to rise. At the same time, the reverse current flows through the drive capacitor C1, discharging it until it reaches the forward conduction voltage of the drive voltage regulator tube ZD1, and the high-voltage switch tube Q2 is turned off. This achieves the function of preventing reverse current.

[0030] Furthermore, the anti-backflow circuit of the power module also includes a voltage stabilization protection circuit, one end of the voltage stabilization protection circuit is connected to one end of the input filter voltage stabilization circuit, and the other end of the voltage stabilization protection circuit is connected to one end of the output filter voltage stabilization circuit.

When the backflow current occurs, the voltage stabilizing protection circuit will limit the voltage across the low-voltage switch tube Q1 to a safe level to prevent excessive voltage from damaging the components.

[0032] The working principle of the anti-backflow circuit of the power module of this embodiment is as follows: Under normal working conditions, the driving power supply V cc The high-voltage switch Q2 is driven by the driving diode D1, the driving capacitor C1, and the driving voltage regulator ZD1. The current passes through the low-voltage switch Q1 and the high-voltage switch Q2 in the power part. In this state, the voltage regulator protection circuit does not participate in the operation of the circuit. When the circuit has a reverse current, the current will flow through the high-voltage switch Q2 and the low-voltage switch Q1 to the input capacitor C of the anti-reverse current circuit. inAt this time, the Or i ng control chip U1 detects the reverse current and turns off the low-voltage switch tube Q1. As the low-voltage switch tube Q1 is turned off, the voltage across its DS begins to rise. At the same time, the reverse current flows through the driving capacitor C1, discharging it until it reaches the forward conduction voltage of the driving voltage regulator tube ZD1, and the high-voltage switch tube Q2 is turned off. Subsequently, the reverse current flows through the voltage regulator protection circuit, limiting the voltage across the DS of the low-voltage switch tube Q1 to below the safe voltage. This circuit ensures the safe and reliable operation of the low-voltage switch tube Q1.

[0033] Therefore, the circuit of this embodiment includes a power part, an anti-backflow control unit and a voltage stabilizing protection circuit. Under normal working conditions, the current passes through the field effect tube of the power part. This design replaces the traditional diode and effectively reduces the loss of the circuit in the on state. When the backflow current is detected, the anti-backflow control circuit turns off the field effect tube to prevent the current from flowing in the opposite direction. In addition, the voltage between the drain and source of the field effect tube is maintained within a safe range by the voltage stabilizing protection circuit to ensure the stability and safety of the circuit. At the same time, a safe discharge circuit is provided for the backflow current.

[0034] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The voltage stabilizing protection circuit includes a second driving voltage stabilizing tube ZD2, the anode of the second driving voltage stabilizing tube ZD2 is connected to one end of the input filter voltage stabilizing circuit, and the cathode of the second driving voltage stabilizing tube ZD2 is connected to one end of the output filter voltage stabilizing circuit. Specifically, the input filter voltage stabilizing circuit is an input capacitor C in , the output filter voltage regulator circuit is the output capacitor C out .

[0035] In this embodiment, when a reverse current appears in the circuit, the current will flow through the high-voltage switch tube Q2 and the low-voltage switch tube Q1 to the input capacitor C of the anti-reverse current circuit. in . At this time, the Or i ng control chip U1 detects the reverse current and turns off the low-voltage switch tube Q1. As the low-voltage switch tube Q1 is turned off, the voltage across its DS begins to rise. At the same time, the reverse current flows through the driving capacitor C1, discharging it until it reaches the forward conduction voltage of the driving voltage regulator tube ZD1, and the high-voltage switch tube Q2 is turned off. Subsequently, the reverse current flows through the voltage regulator tube ZD2, limiting the voltage across the DS of the low-voltage switch tube Q1 to below the stable voltage of ZD2. This circuit ensures the safe and reliable operation of the low-voltage switch tube Q1, prevents possible damage caused by excessive voltage, and provides a safe discharge circuit for the reverse current.

[0036] The embodiment provided by the present invention has a number of significant advantages. First, it can adapt to different output voltage occasions, including high-voltage application scenarios, which greatly expands its application range. Second, compared with the traditional anti-backflow circuit, the technical solution significantly reduces the power loss in the on state. This loss reduction effect directly improves the overall efficiency of the power supply, which is crucial to the performance of the power supply.

[0037] In addition, the implementation of this technical solution is simple and reliable, and can be easily integrated into an existing power supply system, providing users with an efficient and economical solution.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement method falls within the scope of protection required by the present invention. Optionally, the voltage regulator protection circuit can also be implemented by other analog circuits, and its implementation method is the same as the above-mentioned implementation method.

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art can achieve the same or similar technical effects by adopting equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation based on the core principles and concepts of the present invention. Therefore, all technical solutions obtained by using equivalent technical means should be deemed to fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0040] In addition, the implementation of the voltage stabilizing protection circuit is not limited to the specific circuit described above. Those skilled in the art can select other types of analog circuits to implement voltage stabilizing protection and current discharge functions according to actual application requirements, and the implementation method is the same as the above method in technical principle. This flexibility provides a wider range of application space for the present invention, allowing appropriate adjustment and optimization according to different application scenarios and technical requirements.
