Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a key component of electric vehicles, the on-board charger (OBC) can convert AC power into DC power to charge the battery of electric vehicles. OBC can use a two-stage converter to achieve AC-DC conversion, or a single-stage AC (Alternating Current, AC) / DC (Direct Current / Direct Current, DC) converter to achieve AC-DC conversion.

[0003] Among them, the single-stage AC / DC converter realizes the two-stage converter with a single-stage AC / DC converter. Compared with the two-stage converter, the intermediate bus electrolytic capacitor and some electronic devices are omitted, which can improve the power density of the on-board charger. In order to realize the power factor correction of the single-stage AC / DC converter, the sinusoidal adjustment strategy of the control circuit is required. However, while realizing the power factor correction, the single-stage AC / DC converter must also realize the matching adjustment of the output voltage. When the AC input voltage is near the zero point, the duty cycle of the switch tube needs to be controlled.

This will cause the AC side current to be distorted and increase the AC current distortion rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", and "sixth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", and "sixth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0044] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0046] As described in the background technology, OBC is a key component of electric vehicles, which can convert AC power into DC power to charge the battery of electric vehicles. OBC can use a two-stage converter to achieve AC-DC conversion, or a single-stage AC / DC converter to achieve AC-DC conversion.

[0047] Among them, the two-stage converter is composed of a cascade of power factor correction (PLC) (i.e. AC / DC converter) and a resonant converter (LLC) (i.e. DC / DC converter). The intermediate bus uses a large electrolytic capacitor for power decoupling. The AC / DC converter can improve the power factor of the converter and reduce the input current THD. However, the two-stage converter is not conducive to the system achieving higher power density.

[0048] A single-stage AC / DC converter realizes a two-stage converter with a single-stage AC / DC converter, eliminating the intermediate bus electrolytic capacitor and some electronic devices, and can improve the power density of the on-board charger.

[0049] In order to achieve power factor correction of a single-stage AC / DC converter, a sinusoidal control strategy of the control circuit is required. However, while achieving power factor correction, a single-stage AC / DC converter also needs to achieve matching regulation of the output voltage.

[0050] In a single-stage AC / DC converter, the output voltage is related to the input voltage and the duty cycle. Specifically, the output voltage satisfies the following formula: Vout=Vin / (1-D); Among them, Vout is used to represent the output voltage, Vin is used to represent the input voltage, and D is used to represent the duty cycle.

[0051] If the single-stage AC / DC converter needs to meet the output voltage of 400V, when the input voltage is 100V, the duty cycle is 0.75. When the input voltage is 1V, the duty cycle is 0.9975.

[0052] When the AC input voltage is near the zero point, the duty cycle of the switch tube needs to be close to 1. However, the duty cycle of the converter is difficult to control when the input voltage crosses the zero point. This will cause the AC side current to be distorted and increase the AC current distortion rate.

[0053] For example, the waveform of the AC signal on the AC side of the prior art is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0054] Figure 1 In FIG. 1 , the dotted line represents the AC voltage of the AC signal on the AC side, and the solid line represents the AC current of the AC signal on the AC side.

[0055] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the alternating current is distorted, so the single-stage AC / DC converter has the problem of poor input current THD.

[0056] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an AC / DC converter that can be applied to an energy conversion system.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the energy conversion system 1 includes: a controller 10 and an AC / DC converter 20 .

[0058] The controller 10 is connected to the AC / DC converter 20 .

[0059] The AC / DC converter 20 is used to convert an externally connected AC signal into a DC signal.

[0060] The controller 10 can control the AC / DC converter 20 to operate.

[0061] Specifically, the controller 10 can sample the voltage of the AC signal input to the AC / DC converter 20 to control the operation of the main power converter and / or the auxiliary power converter in the AC / DC converter 20. The AC / DC converter 20 can obtain an AC signal from an AC power source and output the converted DC signal to the battery.

[0062] The structural diagram of AC / DC converter 20 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the AC / DC converter 20 includes an input port 201 , a main power converter 202 , an auxiliary power converter 203 and an output port 204 .

[0063] The input port 201 is used to connect to an AC power source, and the output port 204 is used to connect to a battery.

[0064] The main power converter 202 and the auxiliary power converter 203 are connected between the input port 201 and the output port 204 , and the main power converter 202 and the auxiliary power converter 203 are connected in parallel.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the voltage of the AC signal received by the input port 201 is within a preset voltage range, the auxiliary power converter 203 operates. The auxiliary power converter 203 can convert the AC signal into a DC signal and output it to the battery.

[0066] When the voltage of the AC signal received by the input port 201 is outside the preset voltage range, the main power converter 202 operates. The main power converter 202 can convert the AC signal into a DC signal and output it to the battery.

[0067] The two endpoint values ​​of the preset voltage interval are respectively a first voltage value and a second voltage value, the first voltage value is less than 0, and the second voltage value is greater than 0.

[0068] In other embodiments, when the voltage of the AC signal received by the input port is outside the preset voltage range, the auxiliary power converter 203 works. The auxiliary power converter 203 can convert the AC signal into a DC signal and output it to the battery. The sum of the output power of the auxiliary power converter and the output power of the main power converter is the same as the rated output power.

[0069] The two endpoint values ​​of the preset voltage interval are respectively a first voltage value and a second voltage value, the first voltage value is less than 0, and the second voltage value is greater than 0.

[0070] It is understandable that the duty cycle is related to the input voltage and the output voltage. Therefore, the selection of the preset voltage range can refer to the output voltage and the duty cycle. For ease of control, the duty cycle can be 0.99, the duty cycle can be 0.9, and the duty cycle can be 0.999. The more digits after the decimal point of the duty cycle, the more difficult it is to control.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, if the output voltage is 400 V, the preset voltage interval may be [-4 V, 4 V], that is, the first voltage value is -4 V and the second voltage value is 4 V. If the output voltage is 400 V, the preset voltage interval may also be [-0.4 V, 0.4 V], that is, the first voltage value is -0.4 V and the second voltage value is 0.4 V.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, both the main power converter and the auxiliary power converter are AC / DC converters. Since the working powers of the main power converter and the auxiliary power converter are different, the main power converter has a larger power and the auxiliary power converter has a smaller power. Therefore, the main power converter usually inputs a higher voltage (for example, 100V, 50V), and the auxiliary power converter usually inputs a lower voltage (for example, 10V, 5V).

[0073] Before introducing the main power converter and the auxiliary power converter provided in the application embodiment, the two bridge arms involved in the application are first introduced.

[0074] The structural diagram of the first bridge arm is as follows Figure 4 As shown in (a), the first bridge arm includes: a seventh switch tube Q7, an eighth switch tube Q8, a seventh diode D7 and an eighth diode D8.

[0075] The seventh switch tube Q7 is connected in parallel with the seventh diode D7, the eighth switch tube Q8 is connected in parallel with the eighth diode D8, and the seventh switch tube Q7 is connected in series with the eighth switch tube Q8.

[0076] That is, the first end of the seventh switch tube Q7 is connected to the first end of the seventh diode D7 as the first end of the bridge arm, and the second end of the seventh switch tube Q7 is connected to the second end of the seventh diode D7. That is, the first end of the eighth switch tube Q8 is connected to the first end of the eighth diode D8, and the second end of the eighth switch tube Q8 is connected to the second end of the eighth diode D8 as the second end of the bridge arm. The second end of the seventh switch tube Q7 is connected to the first end of the eighth switch tube Q8 as the midpoint of the bridge arm.

[0077] By controlling the on-off of the seventh switch tube Q7, the eighth switch tube Q8, the seventh diode D7 and the eighth diode D8, the on-off of the upper half bridge and the lower half bridge in the first bridge arm can be controlled.

[0078] When the switch tube is turned on, the first end to the second end of the switch tube is conducted, and in other cases, the switch tube is regarded as an open circuit, and the forward current is conducted from the second end to the first end of the diode.

[0079] Exemplarily, when the seventh switch tube Q7 is turned on and the seventh diode D7 is turned off, the first end of the bridge arm is connected to the midpoint of the bridge arm. When the seventh switch tube Q7 is turned off and the seventh diode D7 is turned on, the midpoint of the bridge arm is connected to the first end of the bridge arm.

[0080] Correspondingly, when the eighth switch tube Q8 is turned on and the eighth diode D8 is turned off, the middle point of the bridge arm is connected to the second end of the bridge arm. When the eighth switch tube Q8 is turned off and the eighth diode D8 is turned on, the second end of the bridge arm is connected to the middle point of the bridge arm.

[0081] The structural diagram of the second bridge arm is as follows Figure 4 As shown in (b), the second bridge arm includes: a ninth switch tube Q9, a tenth switch tube Q10, a ninth diode D9 and a tenth diode D10.

[0082] The ninth switch tube Q9 is connected in parallel with the ninth diode D9, the tenth switch tube Q10 is connected in parallel with the tenth diode D10, and the ninth switch tube Q9 is connected in anti-series with the tenth switch tube Q10.

[0083] That is, the first end of the ninth switch tube Q9 is connected to the first end of the ninth diode D9, and the second end of the ninth switch tube Q9 is connected to the second end of the ninth diode D9, as the first end of the bridge arm. That is, the first end of the tenth switch tube Q10 is connected to the first end of the tenth diode D10, and the second end of the tenth switch tube Q10 is connected to the second end of the tenth diode D10, as the first end of the bridge arm. The first end of the ninth switch tube Q9 is connected to the first end of the tenth switch tube Q10.

[0084] By controlling the on-off of the ninth switch tube Q9, the tenth switch tube Q10, the ninth diode D9 and the tenth diode D10, the on-off of the second bridge arm can be controlled.

[0085] When the switch tube is turned on, the first end to the second end of the switch tube is connected. In other cases, the switch tube is regarded as an open circuit, the second end to the first end of the diode is connected, and the first end to the second end of the diode is cut off.

[0086] Exemplarily, when a forward current is input to the first end of the bridge arm, the ninth diode D9 and the tenth switch tube Q10 are turned on, and the first end of the bridge arm conducts the forward current to the second end. When a reverse current is input to the first end of the bridge arm, the ninth switch tube Q9 and the tenth diode D10 are turned on, and the first end of the bridge arm conducts the reverse current to the second end.

[0176] exist Fig.13 In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time t, and the vertical axis represents the voltage Vg of the AC signal received at the input port, or the control signal of each switch element. The control signal includes: the control signal of the first switch element V1 / the fourth switch element V4, the control signal of the second switch element V2 / the third switch element V3, the control signal of the fifth switch element V5, the control signal of the sixth switch element V6, the control signal of the seventh switch element V7, the control signal of the eighth switch element V8, the control signal of the ninth switch element V9, the control signal of the tenth switch element V10, and the control signal of the fifth switch tube Q5.

When the control signal is at a high level, the switch element is turned on. When the control signal is at a low level, the switch element is turned off. Fig.13It can be seen that outside the preset voltage range, the controller controls the control signal of the main power converter (i.e., the control signal of the first switch element V1, the second switch element V2, the third switch element V3, the fourth switch element V4, the fifth switch element V5, the sixth switch element V6, the seventh switch element V7, the eighth switch element V8, the ninth switch element V9, and the tenth switch element V10) to turn off the control signal of the auxiliary power converter (i.e., the control signal of the fifth switch tube Q5) to control the main power converter to convert the AC signal into a DC signal outside the preset voltage range. Within the preset voltage range, the controller controls the control signal of the main power converter to turn off and the control signal of the auxiliary power converter to turn on, to control the auxiliary power converter to convert the AC signal into a DC signal within the preset voltage range.

[0178] Optionally, when the voltage of the AC signal received by the input port is outside a preset voltage range, the controller can control the auxiliary power converter to operate so that the sum of the output power of the auxiliary power converter and the output power of the main power converter is the same as the rated output power.
