For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The module schematic diagram of the display device provided by an embodiment of the application is shown.

[0053] Specifically, the application provides a display device 1000, comprising a load 100 and a resonant converter 200.

[0054] The load 100 comprises light-emitting elements, and the number of the light-emitting elements is not limited. The types of the light-emitting elements include but are not limited to LED (light-emitting diode), OLED (organic light-emitting diode), and Micro-LED (micro light-emitting diode).

[0055] In some embodiments, the load 100 can be a light-emitting layer, or the load 100 can also be a backlight panel, which is not limited here.

[0056] The resonant converter 200 is electrically connected with the load 100, and is used to realize soft start of the load 100.

[0057] Specifically, the soft start of the load 100 is realized by using the resonant converter 200 in the application, which can reduce the large impact current generated at the starting moment, reduce the damage to the load 100, and protect the light-emitting element. In addition, the soft start of the load 100 is realized by using the resonant converter 200 in the application, which can also reduce electromagnetic interference and prolong the service life of the light-emitting element.

[0058] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A module schematic diagram of the resonant converter provided by an embodiment of the application is provided.

[0059] Specifically, the resonant converter 200 includes a controller 202 and a power conversion circuit 201 electrically connected. The power conversion circuit 201 is electrically connected with the load 100 to realize the soft start of the load 100.

[0060] The power conversion circuit 201 is an LLC circuit, which mainly includes an input filter circuit, an LLC resonant circuit and an output rectifier filter circuit. The input filter circuit is generally composed of capacitors, inductors and the like, and is used to filter out high-frequency noise and ripple in the input power supply to provide a stable DC input for the subsequent circuit. The LLC resonant circuit is the core part of the entire circuit, which is composed of a series inductor, a series capacitor and a parallel inductor. The series inductor and the series capacitor form a series resonant loop, and the parallel inductor is connected in parallel. The output rectifier filter circuit generally uses diodes or synchronous rectifier tubes to form a rectifier bridge to convert high-frequency alternating current signals into direct current signals, and then filters through capacitors, inductors and the like to obtain a stable direct current output voltage, thereby realizing the start of the load 100.

[0061] The controller 202 can be a single-chip microcomputer, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and the like, which is not limited here.

[0062] In the application, to realize the soft start of the power conversion circuit 201 and further realize the soft start of the load 100, the controller 202 responds to the reception of the start signal to perform a control method for the soft start of the power conversion circuit 201.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of the control method for the soft start of the power conversion circuit provided by an embodiment of the application is provided.

[0064] Specifically, the control method includes:

[0065] Step S1: In response to receiving a start signal, the rated output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 and the preset start period are obtained.

[0066] In an embodiment, the start-up signal is a power-on signal. For example, the start-up signal is a power-on signal of the display device 1000. Of course, in actual applications, the resonant converter 200 is not limited to being applied to the display device 1000, but can also be applied to any device to which the resonant converter 200 can be applied.

[0067] It should be noted that the power-on signal can be a device power-off signal; the power-on signal can also be a signal lamp for switching the device from a standby state to a working state, which is not limited herein.

[0068] In another embodiment, the start-up signal is a fault recovery signal. For example, the fault recovery signal is a signal for switching the device from any fault state to a running state.

[0069] It can be understood that, by setting the start-up signal to be a power-on signal or a fault recovery signal, the application improves the application scenarios of soft start, increases the reliability and adaptability of the system, and especially in the scenario of recovering the device from a fault to a running state, the circuit and equipment can be effectively protected.

[0070] The rated output voltage is the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201, and is also the rated working voltage of the load 100.

[0071] The preset start-up period refers to a soft start period, that is, the time for the voltage of the load 100 to change from 0 to the rated working voltage. The preset start-up period is set according to actual needs. It is intended to reduce the large impact current generated at the start-up moment, reduce the damage to the load 100, reduce electromagnetic interference, and prolong the service life of the load 100.

[0072] Step S2: based on the rated output voltage and the preset start-up period, determine the target resistance value of the resistance and the target capacity value of the capacitance of the soft start charging model circuit, and assign the resistance value of the resistance and the capacity of the capacitance.

[0073] Specifically, based on the rated output voltage and the preset start-up period, the target resistance value of the resistance and the target capacity value of the capacitance of the soft start charging model circuit are determined. In this way, the resistance value of the resistance and the capacity value of the capacitance of the soft start charging model circuit can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs and scenarios, so as to adapt to different circuit working conditions and soft start requirements.

[0074] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flowchart of an embodiment of step S2 in Figure 3 Step S2 includes:

[0075] Step S21: establish a soft start charging model circuit, and set a plurality of combinations of capacitance values and resistance values.

[0076] Specifically, in the present application, the controller 202 utilizes a database to pre-establish a soft-start charging model circuit (RC charging circuit), which includes a capacitor and a resistor, and sets a plurality of combinations of capacitor values and resistor values.

[0077] In the soft-start charging model circuit, the resistor and the capacitor are connected in series.

[0078] Step S22: Simulate the charging of the capacitor through each combination by using the charging formula of the RC circuit, to obtain a plurality of charging curves of the capacitor voltage changing with time under different resistor values and capacitor values.

[0079] Specifically, the plurality of charging curves can be obtained by simulation or the like. It should be noted that the plurality of charging curves in the present application are all exponential.

[0080] Specifically, the existing charging curve is generally linear, for example, a straight line, but since the light intensity perceived by the observer rises exponentially, the existing soft-start method does not conform to the experience of the observer when starting the light-emitting element. In the present application, the charging curve is exponential, which can better meet the experience of the observer on the change of light intensity.

[0081] Step S23: Find the plurality of charging curves of the capacitor voltage changing with time under different resistor values and capacitor values, and determine the reference resistor value and the reference capacitor value corresponding to the rated output voltage in the preset starting period through the plurality of charging curves.

[0082] Specifically, based on the preset starting period and the rated output voltage, find the charging curve that meets the rated output voltage in the preset starting period in the plurality of charging curves, and then determine the resistor value and the voltage value corresponding to the charging curve.

[0083] Step S24: Determine the reference resistor value as the target resistor value, and determine the reference capacitor value as the target capacitor value.

[0084] That is, after step S24, the resistance value assignment of the resistor and the capacity assignment of the capacitor of the soft-start charging model circuit are realized.

[0085] Step S3: Take the rated output voltage as the input voltage of the soft-start charging model circuit, obtain the voltage across the capacitor, and output the voltage corresponding to the voltage across the capacitor as the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201, to realize the soft-start of the power conversion circuit 201.

[0086] Specifically, the voltage across the capacitor changing with time can be calculated by using formula (1). Wherein, formula (1) is:

[0087] ;

[0088] Where Vc(t) is the voltage across the capacitor that changes with time, Vin is the rated output voltage, R is the target resistance value, C is the target capacitance value, and t is the time variable.

[0089] After each Vc(t) is obtained, the voltage corresponding to Vc(t) is output as the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 to achieve soft start of the power conversion circuit 201 .

[0090] In one embodiment, step S3 includes: outputting a voltage that is the same as the voltage across the capacitor as the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 .

[0091] In another embodiment, taking into account transfer loss, the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 may be slightly lower than the voltage across the capacitor. For example, the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 may be approximately 99% of the voltage across the capacitor. Therefore, step S3 includes outputting a voltage lower than the voltage across the capacitor as the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201.

[0092] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 3 In the flowchart of an embodiment of step S3, the steps of outputting a voltage corresponding to the voltage across the capacitor as the output voltage of the power conversion circuit 201 to achieve soft start of the power conversion circuit 201 include:

[0093] Step S31: determining a pulse width modulation signal corresponding to the voltage across the capacitor.

[0094] In one embodiment, step S31 includes:

[0095] The frequency of the pulse width modulation signal is determined based on the voltage across the capacitor; and / or the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal is determined based on the voltage across the capacitor.

[0096] Specifically, after the voltage Vc(t) across the capacitor is calculated, a pulse width modulation signal is output based on Vc(t), wherein the frequency and / or duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal is determined based on Vc(t).

[0097] Step S32 : controlling the operation of the switch tube in the power conversion circuit 201 based on the pulse width modulation signal to achieve soft start of the power conversion circuit 201 .

[0098] Specifically, the pulse width modulation signal is used to control the operation of the switch tube in the power conversion circuit 201, so that the power conversion circuit 201 generates a corresponding operating voltage, and then uses the operating voltage to drive the load 100 electrically connected thereto to operate.

[0099] Finally, at the end of the preset startup period, the voltage Vc(t) across the capacitor corresponds to a voltage substantially equal to the rated output voltage Vin, thereby achieving soft start.

[0100] Specifically, the soft start control method of the power conversion circuit 201 provided in the present application is based on the database in the controller 202 and has the following advantages:

[0101] 1. Overcome the limitations of traditional hardware RC charging method for LLC circuit soft start.

[0102] 2. By setting the start signal as a power-on signal or a fault repair signal, the application scenario of soft start is improved, and the reliability and adaptability of the system are increased. In particular, in the scenario where the device recovers from a fault, it can effectively protect the circuit and equipment.

[0103] 3. The resistance and capacitance values ​​in the charging model circuit are adjustable and can be precisely adjusted according to different application scenarios and requirements, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0104] This application also provides a specific implementation of a control method for soft starting of the power conversion circuit 201.

[0105] The first step is system initialization.

[0106] When the system starts, the controller 202 reads the rated output voltage Vin of the power conversion circuit 201 and the preset startup period, and sets the target resistance value of the resistor, the target capacitance value of the capacitor, and the time variable in the soft start charging model circuit.

[0107] For details, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a circuit structure diagram of a soft start charging model circuit provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 The charging curve diagram of the soft start charging model circuit shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a circuit including a resistor and a capacitor connected in series. The target resistance value R of the resistor and the target capacitance value C of the capacitor in the soft start charging model circuit are calculated as follows:

[0108] Assuming a preset startup cycle time of 125ms, an RC charging circuit requires approximately five time constants, τ, to reach approximately 99% of the rated output voltage, Vin. This is because each time constant theoretically charges the capacitor to approximately 63.2% of its rated output voltage, and at 5τ, the capacitor is essentially charged to 99.3%. Time constant τ = R * C. Given a preset startup cycle of 5τ = 125ms, R*C = 125 / 5 = 25ms.

[0109] By looking up the charging curve in the database, the reference resistance value and the reference capacitance value corresponding to the rated output voltage Vin reached in the preset starting period are determined, for example, selecting R=5K and C=5uF in the charging curve, which can meet the requirements.

[0110] Secondly, the soft-start charging model circuit simulates RC charging calculation:

[0111] According to the target resistance value R of the set resistance and the target capacitance value C of the capacitance, the controller 202 uses the RC charging formula in the mathematical library function in the controller (the above formula (1)) to calculate the value of the capacitance voltage Vc once every 500uS.

[0112] Wherein, the time variable t is added by 1 every 500uS, and when t=250, it indicates that 125mS has passed, and the preset starting period is completed.

[0113] Thirdly, Vc(t) signal output:

[0114] The calculated voltage value Vc(t) across the capacitance is used as the voltage setting value of the power conversion circuit 201, and a pulse width modulation signal is outputted, which is used to control the conduction and turn-off of the power switching device in the power conversion circuit 201.

[0115] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 8 The charging curve diagram of the resonant converter output provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. In this way, the voltage of the load 100 will rise along with Vc(t) until the voltage of the load 100 is equal to the rated output voltage Vin at the end of the preset starting period, so as to realize the soft-start process of the load.

[0116] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent flow transformation using the content of the specification and the drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
