Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of charging circuit control, and particularly relates to a control circuit of a vehicle-mounted charger, and also relates to a control method of a vehicle-mounted charger. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of China's automobile industry, the vehicle ownership has increased year by year. Electric vehicles, which use electric energy as fuel, have the advantages of energy conservation, environmental protection, and can help alleviate the shortage of energy resources and achieve sustainable development, and have become a research hotspot in recent years. For electric vehicles, the issues that users are most concerned about are the driving range, charging speed, and charging convenience. The driving range of electric vehicles is currently mainly limited by the development level of battery technology, while the charging speed and convenience depend on the improvement of charging technology.

[0003] The charging methods of electric vehicles are mainly divided into two types: on-board chargers and off-board chargers. The off-board charger can directly convert alternating current into direct current, and then charge the battery of the electric vehicle. It has a large output power and a fast charging speed, but the fixed location of the charging pile and sometimes mismatched power bring many inconveniences to users. The on-board charger is installed inside the electric vehicle. It is directly connected to the industrial frequency alternating current, converts the alternating current into direct current inside the vehicle to charge the battery, has a lower device cost, and also improves the flexibility of the charging method. Users can choose to directly use single-phase alternating current to charge the electric vehicle at a suitable location, and can also use the low electricity price during the night off-peak period to charge, reducing the charging cost.

[0024] Embodiment 4 As Figure 2 shown, the control method of the vehicle charger disclosed in this embodiment uses the control circuit of the vehicle charger disclosed in any one of Embodiments 1-3, and is specifically implemented according to the following steps: S1: The bridgeless Boost PFC circuit adopts average current control, takes the average value of the actual input inductor L current as the sampling current, and uses the control method of current inner loop and voltage outer loop to adjust the average value of the input current, and controls the average value of the input current to follow the input grid voltage; S2: The resonant converter adopts hybrid modulation. Under normal load conditions, frequency modulation + extended phase-shifted segmented modulation is adopted; under light load conditions, intermittent Bang-Bang charge control is switched.

[0025] In this embodiment, after consulting the data and repeatedly simulating and verifying, using 20% full load as the sign of light load to switch the modulation strategy has the best effect. Therefore, when the load is higher than 20% full load, the strategy of frequency modulation + extended phase-shifted segmented modulation is adopted to solve the problem of narrow frequency modulation range when the converter steps down in the forward direction; when the load is lower than 20% full load, that is, under light load conditions, the intermittent Bang-Bang charge control strategy is switched to solve the problems of output voltage drift and efficiency decline under light load.

[0026] Embodiment 5 Based on Embodiment 4, S1 is specifically as follows: Collect the input current, input voltage, and output voltage of the bridgeless Boost PFC circuit; transmit the output voltage to the voltage loop compensator. The feedback voltage signal output by the voltage loop compensator and the input voltage signal are operated by a multiplier to obtain a current reference signal. The current reference signal and the input current signal enter the current loop compensator, and the current loop compensator outputs a PWM signal to control the on and off times of the switching transistor.

[0027] In this embodiment, the voltage loop regulates the output voltage to maintain the stability of the output voltage, while the current loop controls the average current of the input inductor to make it follow the current reference signal. The sampled input voltage signal and the output signal of the voltage loop are operated by a multiplier to obtain a current reference signal. By reasonably designing the voltage loop compensator Gvc(s) and the current loop compensator Gic(s), the PFC converter can achieve the goals of stable output voltage, power factor correction, and low harmonic distortion. Km is the multiplier gain, and the sampling of the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor current is detected by Kv(s), Ko(s), and Ki(s) respectively. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, after the bridgeless Boost PFC circuit is controlled by average current, the input current waveform approaches a sine wave, is in phase with the input voltage, and the total harmonic distortion rate is lower than 5%. This control method can achieve power factor correction.

[0028] Embodiment 6 As Figure 5 shown, based on Embodiment 4, sample the output voltage and output current of the resonant converter, calculate the output power through a multiplier, and compare with the reference value . At this time, , is the rated power; the normal load condition is: ; the light load condition is: .

[0029] Under normal load, when the resonant converter steps up (gain M≥1) in the forward direction, pulse frequency modulation is adopted: Subtract the current output voltage from the reference voltage , send the obtained error into a proportional-integral regulator to obtain the required regulated switching frequency , then convert into a modulation signal of the corresponding frequency through a voltage-controlled oscillator, and finally obtain the drive signal of the primary switching transistor after comparing the modulation signal with the carrier signal through a comparator., the duty cycle remains unchanged at 50%, and the secondary side switching transistors are all turned off. The anti-parallel diodes are used for uncontrolled rectification; Switching frequency As shown in Equation (1): (1) In Equation (1), is the initial value of. Generally, in order to prevent excessive charging current of the output capacitor from damaging the circuit at the moment of startup, a soft start method with reduced frequency is used to start the converter. is set to (2~3) , is the proportional coefficient of the PI regulator, is the integral coefficient of the PI regulator, is when boosting the error between

[0030] Under normal load, when the resonant converter is stepping down in the forward direction (gain M<1), EPS modulation is used: The error obtained by subtracting the current from is sent to the PI regulator to obtain the phase shift angle . Then, the phase shift angle is converted into the delay time t. The pulse signal with a fixed duty cycle is delayed by different degrees to obtain the drive signals of the primary side and secondary side switching transistors respectively, and then the on and off of the primary side and secondary side switching transistors of the resonant converter are controlled. The duty cycle is 50% for both, and the switching frequency is always equal to the resonant frequency . The phase shift angle within the primary side bridge and the phase shift angle between the primary and secondary side bridges satisfy , ensuring the lowest switching loss of the resonant converter; The phase shift angle is represented by Equations (2) and (3): (2) (3) In Equations (2) and (3), is the phase shift angle, is the initial value of, is the proportional coefficient of the PI regulator, is the integral coefficient of the PI regulator, is when stepping down the error between

[0031] The delay time is represented by Equation (4): (4) In Equation (4), is the delay time, is the phase shift angle, is the resonant frequency.

[0032] Under light load, the switching intermittent Bang-Bang charge control is adopted. First, the switching device of the resonant converter stops working, and at the same time, the output voltage is detected , when decreases to the minimum value, it enters the intermittent mode, and the switching device , conducts, and the voltage of the primary-side resonant capacitor is compared with the reference value . When , , are turned off, , are turned on. When , , are turned off until drops to the minimum value again and this process is cycled; The calculation method of the reference value is as follows: The net input charge of the power supply side of the resonant converter in each half switching cycle can be calculated by Equation (5): (5) In Equation (5), is the primary-side resonant capacitor, , , are respectively , , the voltages of the primary-side resonant capacitor at moments; When operating stably, , substituting it into Equation (5), the input charge in one switching cycle is: (6) In Equation (6), is the primary-side resonant capacitor, is the voltage of the primary-side resonant capacitor at moment; Although the parasitic capacitance of the power device is very small, the charge and discharge during the dead time also generate charge exchange, which should not be ignored. The analysis shows that the output capacitances C S5 ~C S8 of the secondary-side switching devices do not participate in the energy exchange with the power supply, but are related to the output capacitances C S1 ~C S4Similarly, charge and discharge occur during the dead time. Therefore, after compensating for the power exchange that occurs during the dead time, the input power for each switching cycle of the resonant converter should be: (7) In Equation (7), is the voltage of the resonant capacitor when the switch is turned off. When , and are known, the power output by the power supply can be obtained from the voltage of the resonant capacitor. The input power reflects the input power. Therefore, by adjusting the capacitance voltage value , the input power can be adjusted.

[0033] When the resonant converter operates under no-load conditions, the latter term in Equation (7) is much smaller than the former term, which is used to offset the actual line losses. The no-load input power is obtained as: (8) In Equation (8), is the primary-side resonant capacitor, is the voltage of the resonant capacitor when the switch is turned off; The no-load input power is all output to the filter capacitor, and the change in the output voltage is: (9) In Equation (9), is the primary-side resonant capacitor, is the voltage of the resonant capacitor when the switch is turned off, is the output capacitor; When the resonant converter operates under no-load conditions, the voltage fluctuation is the largest, denoted as . To reliably control the output voltage, it is necessary to make ΔV less than . From this, we can obtain: (10) In Equation (10), is the output capacitor, is the primary-side resonant capacitor, is the maximum voltage fluctuation when the resonant converter operates under no-load conditions; Considering the output efficiency, after consulting the data and performing simulation analysis, the load value at which the output efficiency is the highest is found. After testing, the capacitance voltage at this time is , then the reference value is: (11) In formula (11), is the switch when turned off, the resonant capacitor the maximum value of the voltage, is the capacitor voltage value at the highest output efficiency.
