[0052] For a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0053] As Figure 1 - Figure 7As shown, in the first embodiment of the wide-gain DC converter of the present invention, the wide-gain DC converter at least includes a buck module, a transformer module T, and a boost module.
[0054] The buck module is responsible for converting the input voltage into a lower output voltage.
[0055] The transformer module T has functions of boosting, bucking, and isolation.
[0056] The boost module adjusts the input voltage to the required output by controlling the on / off of the switching transistor. When the switching transistor is on, the inductor is charged; when it is off, the inductor discharges to the load through the diode to achieve voltage boost.
[0057] Specifically, the signal input terminals of the buck module are respectively used to receive multiple drive signals input by a main controller (not shown), and the input drive signals are used to control the on / off state of the buck module.
[0058] For example, when the input voltage Vin is greater than the output voltage Vo, the four-switch buck-boost converter operates in the Buck mode. At this time, the duty cycle of the main control switch transistor of the Boost unit is set to 0, and the output voltage Vo is maintained stable by only controlling the duty cycle of the main control switch transistor of the Buck unit, that is, one switching transistor is always off and the other is always on, and the two switching transistors do not turn on each other according to the value of the duty cycle.
[0059] In addition, the primary winding of the transformer module T is connected to the voltage input / output terminals of the buck module, responsible for receiving the electrical signals generated during the on / off control process of the buck module, and coupling and transmitting these signals to the boost module.
[0060] The signal input terminals of the boost module are respectively used to receive multiple drive signals input by a main controller (not shown), and the input drive signals are used to control the on / off state of the boost module.
[0061] For example, when the input voltage Vin is less than or equal to the output voltage Vo, the four-switch buck-boost converter operates in the Boost mode. At this time, the duty cycle of the main control switch transistor of the Buck unit is set to 1, and the output voltage Vo is maintained stable by controlling the duty cycle of the main control switch transistor of the Boost unit, that is, one switching transistor is always on and the other is always off, and the two switching transistors do not turn on each other according to the value of the duty cycle.
[0062] Among them, the voltage input / output terminals of the boost module are respectively connected to the secondary winding of the transformer module T, and the drive signal is used to adjust the phase difference between the buck module and the boost module to change the energy output magnitude and the energy transfer direction.
[0063] Using this technical solution, through the bridge arm multiplexing strategy, the traditional four-switch Buck-Boost topology is combined with the dual active bridge circuit, effectively combining the advantages of the two circuit topologies. The circuit not only improves the drawback of the four-switch Buck-Boost being difficult to achieve soft switching, but also improves the shortcoming of the dual active bridge circuit being difficult to achieve a wide gain range. Additionally, the quadrilateral inductor current modulation technology is applied, greatly broadening the soft switching operating range of the converter and effectively improving the overall operating efficiency of the converter.
[0064] In some embodiments, the buck module includes a first bridge arm and a second bridge arm connected in parallel, where
[0065] The signal input ends of the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm respectively receive multiple drive signals input by a main controller (not shown),
[0066] The main function of these multiple drive signals is to precisely control the on / off states of the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm,
[0067] One end of the first bridge arm is connected to one end (corresponding to a) of the primary winding of the transformer module T,
[0068] One end of the second bridge arm is connected to the other end (corresponding to b) of the primary winding of the transformer module T.
[0069] In some embodiments, in the Boost operating mode, the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm will remain in a continuously conducting state.
[0070] In some embodiments, in order to improve the matching accuracy of the output voltage, a bus capacitor Cbus can be added to the converter, and this capacitor is connected in parallel with the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm.
[0071] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the reliability of bucking, a first MOS transistor S 2a and a second MOS transistor S2 connected in series can be provided in the first bridge arm,
[0072] The second bridge arm includes a third MOS transistor S 4a and a fourth MOS transistor S4 connected in series,
[0073] Wherein, the gate of the first MOS transistor S 2a , the gate of the second MOS transistor S2, the gate of the third MOS transistor S 4a , and the gate of the fourth MOS transistor S4 respectively receive multiple drive signals input by a main controller (not shown),
[0074] The source of the first MOS transistor S 2a and the source of the third MOS transistor S 4a are respectively connected to one end of the primary winding of the transformer module T,
[0075] The drain of the first MOS transistor S 2a and the drain of the third MOS transistor S 4a are respectively connected to one end of the bus capacitor C bus .
[0076] The source of the second MOS transistor S2 and the source of the fourth MOS transistor S4 are respectively connected to the other end of the bus capacitor C bus .
[0077] In some embodiments, it further includes a first inductor L1 and a third inductor Lr connected in series,
[0078] The connection terminals of the first inductor L1 and the third inductor Lr are respectively connected to the source of the first MOS transistor S 2a and the drain of the second MOS transistor,
[0079] The other end of the first inductor L1 is connected to one end of the input capacitor,
[0080] The other end of the third inductor Lr is coupled to one end of the primary winding of the transformer module T.
[0081] In some embodiments, the boost module includes a third bridge arm and a fourth bridge arm connected in parallel,
[0082] wherein, the signal input terminals of the third bridge arm and the second bridge arm respectively receive a plurality of drive signals input by a main controller (not shown),
[0083] The drive signals are used to control the on / off states of the third bridge arm and the fourth bridge arm,
[0084] One end of the third bridge arm is connected to one end of the secondary winding of the transformer module T (corresponding to c),
[0085] One end of the fourth bridge arm is connected to the other end of the secondary winding of the transformer module T (corresponding to d).
[0086] In some embodiments, when the converter is in the Buck operating mode, the third bridge arm and the fourth bridge arm remain in the always-on state.
[0087] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, in order to ensure the reliability of boosting, a fifth MOS transistor S5 and a seventh MOS transistor S7 connected in series can be provided in the third bridge arm,
[0088] The fourth bridge arm includes a sixth MOS transistor S6 and an eighth MOS transistor S8 connected in series,
[0089] The gates of the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the sixth MOS transistor S6, the gates of the seventh MOS transistor S7 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 respectively receive drive signals,
[0090] The source electrodes of the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 are respectively connected to one end of the secondary winding of the transformer module T.
[0091] The drain electrodes of the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the sixth MOS transistor S6 are respectively connected to one end of the output capacitor Co.
[0092] The source electrodes of the seventh MOS transistor S7 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 are respectively connected to the other end of the output capacitor Co.
[0093] As Figure 2 shown, in the buck mode, the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the sixth MOS transistor S6 are constantly conducting, the seventh MOS transistor S7 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 are constantly non-conducting, and the first MOS transistor S 2a and the fourth MOS transistor S4 or the second MOS transistor S2 and the third MOS transistor S 4a conduct with complementary duty cycles;
[0094] In the buck-boost mode, the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 or the sixth MOS transistor S6 and the seventh MOS transistor S7, the first MOS transistor S 2a and the fourth MOS transistor S4 or the second MOS transistor S2 and the third MOS transistor S 4a conduct with complementary duty cycles;
[0095] In the boost mode, the first MOS transistor S 2a or the third MOS transistor S 4a is constantly conducting, the second MOS transistor S2 or the fourth MOS transistor S4 is constantly non-conducting, and the fifth MOS transistor S5 and the seventh MOS transistor S7 or the sixth MOS transistor S6 and the eighth MOS transistor S8 conduct with complementary duty cycles;
[0096] When the inverter switches from the buck mode to the buck-boost mode, or from the boost mode to the buck-boost mode, both the output voltage and current can smoothly transition;
[0097] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, when the circuit is in the Boost operating mode, the Buck bridge arm in the front-stage four-switch Buck-Boost circuit remains constantly conducting, and the gain is fixed at 1. At this time, if the duty cycles of the MOS transistors S3 and S4 are set to d2, and the transformer turns ratio is N, then the total gain of the entire circuit can be expressed as
[0098]
[0099] As Figure 2As shown, the control scheme of this circuit combines PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and phase shift (PWM Plus Phase Shift, PPS) technologies. By adjusting the duty cycle d2 of MOS transistors S2 and S4, the matching between the bus capacitor C bus and the output voltage is achieved. Further, by adjusting the phase difference φ among MOS transistors S4, S5, and S8, the magnitude and transfer direction of the output energy can be controlled.
[0100] As Figure 3 shown, the control timing diagram of the circuit and the final modal diagram of the circuit are as Figure 4 shown
[0101] Mode 0 [0, t0]: As Figure 4 shown in (a), MOS transistors S2 and MOS transistor S 4a turn on,
[0102] i Lr = -I0
[0103] Mode 1 [t0, t1]: As Figure 4 shown in (b), at time t0, MOS transistor S 4a turns off, and the body capacitors of MOS transistor S 4a and MOS transistor S4 resonate, and MOS transistor S4 achieves ZVS;
[0104]
[0105] Mode 2 [t1, t2]: As Figure 4 (c) shown, at time t1, MOS transistor S2 turns off, and the body capacitor of MOS transistor S 2a resonates with the body capacitor of MOS transistor S2, and MOS transistor S 2a achieves ZVS;
[0106]
[0107] Mode 3 [t2, t3]: As Figure 4 (d) shown, at time t2, MOS transistors S6 and S7 turn off, and then their body capacitors resonate with the body capacitors of MOS transistors S5 and S8, enabling MOS transistors S5 and S8 to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS).
[0108] i Lr = -I0
[0109] Mode 4 [t3, t4]: As Figure 4 (e) shown, at time t3, MOS transistor S 2a turns off, and MOS transistor S 2a resonates with MOS transistor S 4aThe body capacitance resonates, and the MOS transistor S2 achieves ZVS;
[0110]
[0111] Mode 5 [t4, t5]: As Figure 4 (f) shows that at time t4, the MOS transistor S4 turns off, and the MOS transistor S 4a resonates with the body capacitance of the MOS transistor S4, and the MOS transistor S 4a achieves ZVS;
[0112]
[0113]
[0114] Mode 6 [t5, t6]: As Figure 4 (g) shows, but note that here it should be at time t5, the MOS transistors S5 and S8 turn off, and their body capacitances then resonate with the body capacitances of the MOS transistors S6 and S7, resulting in the MOS transistors S6 and S7 achieving zero-voltage switching (ZVS);
[0115] By adjusting the phase difference φ2 and the duty cycle d2 of the MOS transistors S4, S5, and S8, the direction and magnitude of the energy transfer in the circuit can be controlled. The relationship between the output power P and the phase difference φ2 and the duty cycle d2 can be expressed by the following formula: P = f(φ2, d2), where f represents a specific functional relationship.
[0116]
[0117] Since d2 participates in and determines the magnitude of the final output power, the maximum output power under a fixed d2 can be obtained, which is the maximum output power limit of the circuit
[0118]
[0119] Buck - Boost operating mode
[0120] During the circuit operating cycle, there is no mutual influence on the gain between the four-switch Buck - Boost and the dual-active-bridge circuit. Therefore, in terms of gain, it can be regarded as the cascade of the four-switch Buck - Boost and the dual-active-bridge circuit. Refer to Figure 1 , in the four-switch Buck - Boost converter, if the duty cycle of the MOS transistor S1 is d1, the duty cycle of the MOS transistor S4 is d2, and the transformer turns ratio is N, then the total gain G can be expressed as G = N * (d1 / (1 - d2));
[0121]
[0122] Adopt the PWM plus phase shift (PPS) control scheme. By adjusting the duty cycles d1 and d2 of MOS transistors S3 and S4, the matching between the bus capacitor C bus and the output voltage is achieved;
[0123] Modulate the inductor current by adjusting the phase angle φ1 and the duty cycles d1 and d2. Adjusting the phase difference φ2 among MOS transistors S4, S5, and S8 can change the energy output and transfer direction;
[0124] The control timing of the circuit is relatively complex. Therefore, the circuit is divided into two levels for analysis. For the front-stage four-switch Buck-Boost, the quadrilateral inductor current modulation technology is adopted;
[0125] Figure 5 The control timing diagram is shown as follows, Figure 6 which is the four working mode diagrams of the four-switch Buck-Boost:
[0126] By changing and the duty cycles d1 and d2, the working time of the four working modes can be changed, thereby achieving the modulation of the inductor current;
[0127] Mode 1 [t0, t1]: As Figure 6 (a) shows, at time t0, MOS transistor S3 is turned off. With the help of the reverse inductor current, MOS transistor S1 achieves ZVS. After that, MOS transistors S1 and S4 remain on
[0128] v L = V in
[0129]
[0130] Mode 2 [t1, t2]: As Figure 6 (b) shows, at time t1, MOS transistor S4 is turned off. Subsequently, MOS transistor S2 achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS). After that, MOS transistors S1 and S2 remain on
[0131] v L = V in - V o
[0132]
[0133] Mode 3 [t2, t3]: As Figure 6 (c) shows, at time t2, MOS transistor S1 is turned off. Then, MOS transistor S3 achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS). After that, MOS transistors S3 and S2 remain on
[0134] v L = - V o
[0135]
[0136] Mode 4 [t3, t4]: As Figure 6 (d) shows that at time t3, MOS transistor S2 is turned off. Finally, MOS transistor S4 achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS), and then MOS transistors S3 and S4 remain on.
[0137] v L = 0
[0138]
[0139] For the subsequent dual-active-bridge circuit, its control timing is as Figure 3 shown, and the circuit mode diagram is as Figure 4 shown. Therefore, combining the control timings of the front and rear stages gives the control timing diagram of the Buck-Boost operating mode, as Figure 7 shown;
[0140] For the quadrilateral inductor current modulation, referring to Figure 6 , the operating times of its direct power transfer modes 2 and 3 are limited, and as the soft-switching difficulty increases, the operating time is further reduced. Therefore, there is a maximum input power limit (V b refers to the bus capacitor voltage);
[0141]
[0142] For the overall circuit, by adjusting the phase difference between MOS transistors S1, S5, and S8 to change the energy transfer direction and magnitude, the relationship between the output power P with respect to and the duty cycle d2 can be obtained as
[0143]
[0144] Since d2 participates in and determines the final output power magnitude, the maximum output power under a fixed d2 can be obtained, which is the maximum output power limit of the circuit
[0145]
[0146] Considering that there are power upper limits on both the input and output sides of the circuit, therefore, the final output power of the circuit will be affected by these limitations.

[0148] Second aspect, a control method for a wide-gain DC converter, which is applied to any of the above wide-gain DC converters, includes:
[0149] S101. Mode selection;
[0150] S102. Control the on / off state of the buck module by adjusting the duty cycle of the drive signal;

[0152] S104. Control the on / off state of the boost module by adjusting the duty cycle of the drive signal. The drive signal is used to adjust the phase difference between the buck module and the boost module to change the energy output magnitude and the energy transfer direction.
[0153] In this technical solution, through the bridge arm multiplexing strategy, the traditional four-switch Buck-Boost topology is combined with the dual-active bridge circuit, and the advantages of the two circuit topologies are effectively combined. The circuit not only improves the drawback that it is difficult to achieve soft switching in the four-switch Buck-Boost, but also improves the disadvantage that it is difficult to achieve a wide gain range in the dual-active bridge circuit.
