It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0015] The implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a switching power supply, comprising:

[0018] S1: Real-time sampling of feedback signals from the switching power supply, and analysis of adjustment measures for the sampled signals based on preset standards, in order to modulate the duty cycle of the power switching transistors of the switching power supply.

[0019] S2: Continuously collect and analyze the temperature data of the bus capacitor in the switching power supply to obtain temperature feature information composed of the original monitoring data sequence and key temperature monitoring features;

[0020] S3: Based on the operation record of the duty cycle modulation of the switching power supply, simulate the working environment of the bus capacitor to generate the working environment characteristics and safety limitation requirements of the bus capacitor;

[0021] S4: Based on the temperature characteristic information and the working environment characteristics, predict the thermal stress and aging rate of the bus capacitor. Combine the prediction results with the safety limit requirements to perform load voltage adjustment and optimization analysis on the bus capacitor. At the same time, based on the working environment characteristics, evaluate and monitor the overall efficiency and stability of the switching power supply to obtain optimized adjustment measures.

[0022] S5: Drive the PFC boost circuit of the switching power supply to adjust the load voltage of the bus capacitor according to the optimization adjustment measures.

[0023] Specifically, in step S1 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the feedback signal of the switching power supply is collected in real time by a sensor. Common signals include voltage signals or current signals. These signals directly reflect the operating status of the system. Real-time sampling of the feedback signal is the key to ensuring that the system can adaptively adjust according to the actual working status. The sampling signal can reflect important information such as the current load of the system, output voltage, and current fluctuations. As the basis for subsequent adjustments, real-time sampling can ensure that the system responds to changes in working conditions in a timely manner, thereby avoiding instability or failure caused by delays in changes and ensuring the stability and reliability of the power supply system.

[0024] More specifically, the collected feedback signals are compared and analyzed with preset standards. Preset standards usually refer to the ideal range of values ​​that feedback signals such as voltage and current should meet under normal working conditions. Preset standards provide the expected behavior of the system and serve as a reference state. By comparing the actual sampled signals with the standard signals, the deviation of the current system can be identified, ensuring that the system always maintains the predetermined working state. This step can monitor the operating status of the system in real time, detect deviations from the standard state in a timely manner, and provide a basis for the next adjustment, avoiding instability of the system due to excessive errors.

[0025] More specifically, based on the difference between the sampled signal and the preset standard, duty cycle adjustment measures are calculated and formulated through adjustment algorithms. Duty cycle adjustment directly controls the on and off times of the switching transistor, thereby affecting the power supply output. Duty cycle is a core parameter for adjusting the output power and stability of the switching power supply. By comparing the difference characteristics, calculating and adjusting the duty cycle can effectively regulate the output voltage or current of the power supply, ensuring its stable operation. Optimizing duty cycle adjustment can effectively reduce fluctuations and improve the power supply efficiency and output stability of the system. By dynamically adjusting the duty cycle, the system can adapt to load changes and maintain stable and efficient operation of the power supply.

[0026] More specifically, based on the duty cycle adjustment calculated by the algorithm, the power switching transistor is driven to perform duty cycle modulation, thereby actually controlling the waveform and power output of the power supply. The duty cycle of the power switching transistor directly affects the output characteristics of the power supply. By precisely controlling the duty cycle, effective regulation of the switching power supply can be achieved, thereby meeting load requirements and avoiding overload or underload conditions. This step can optimize the power supply output voltage and current by precisely controlling the operating state of the power switching transistor, effectively improving the response speed, control accuracy, and energy efficiency of the power supply system.

[0027] Understandably, through real-time sampling and feedback signal analysis, the system can dynamically adjust its operating state, respond to instantaneous load fluctuations, ensure the stability of the power supply system, and the duty cycle adjustment enables the power supply to precisely control the output power, avoid energy waste, improve overall efficiency, and timely signal feedback and duty cycle adjustment reduce system failures or delays caused by load changes, thus extending the lifespan of the power supply. Through the combination of preset standards and algorithms, the switching power supply can flexibly adjust under different loads and operating environments to ensure optimal performance.

[0028] Specifically, in step S2 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, a temperature sensor is installed around the bus capacitor of the switching power supply to monitor the temperature change of the capacitor in real time. The temperature sensor should have the characteristics of high accuracy and fast response to ensure that it can continuously and stably record the temperature data of the bus capacitor. The temperature of the bus capacitor is directly related to the working state of the power supply. Temperature changes may affect the performance of the capacitor and the stability of the system. Continuous temperature acquisition can provide timely and accurate data support for subsequent analysis. By continuously monitoring the temperature data, the working state of the capacitor can be reflected in real time, overheating or abnormal fluctuations can be detected in time, and capacitor damage or system failure can be avoided. This helps to improve the safety and reliability of the power supply system.

[0029] More specifically, the collected temperature data is denoised to remove the influence of factors such as sensor error and environmental interference. Common denoising methods include moving average filtering and Kalman filtering. Temperature data is often affected by external noise, such as changes in ambient temperature and electromagnetic interference, which may lead to data instability. Denoising can produce a more accurate and stable temperature signal. The denoised data is smoother and more reliable, which facilitates subsequent feature extraction and analysis and avoids erroneous judgments and system responses caused by noise interference.

[0030] More specifically, feature extraction is performed on the preprocessed data to identify key characteristics of temperature fluctuations. For example, Fourier transform, wavelet transform, and other methods can be used to extract information such as frequency characteristics, fluctuation amplitude, and trend changes of temperature data. Temperature change patterns and fluctuation characteristics can reflect the working status of capacitors and potential failure risks. Through feature extraction, the raw temperature data can be transformed into more informative feature information, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and decision-making. By extracting key features, valuable information can be mined from complex temperature data, helping to determine whether the bus capacitor is within the normal operating range and providing a basis for further optimization and control.

[0031] More specifically, the extracted temperature features are combined with raw monitoring data (such as real-time temperature sequences) to form a temperature feature information sequence. This data can be stored and managed using technologies such as databases or cloud storage. Temperature feature information is a crucial basis for subsequent analysis, modeling, and optimization. By storing and organizing this information, data support can be provided for system optimization, fault prediction, and real-time control. The constructed and stored temperature feature information can be easily used for historical data analysis, trend prediction, and performance evaluation. The system can then adaptively adjust based on this data during actual operation, improving the power system's self-monitoring and adjustment capabilities.

[0032] More specifically, by utilizing real-time temperature characteristic information and combining it with intelligent algorithms for analysis, the operating status of the bus capacitors can be determined, and alarms or corresponding protective measures can be taken for abnormal states. Real-time analysis of temperature characteristic information can promptly detect abnormal phenomena such as overheating of capacitors, provide early warnings, and take protective measures to avoid faults. Real-time analysis and feedback can effectively ensure the safe operation of the power system, respond promptly to potential temperature problems, and improve the system's fault tolerance and fault prevention capabilities.

[0033] Understandably, real-time temperature data acquisition and analysis can accurately monitor the operating temperature of bus capacitors, preventing capacitor aging or damage caused by excessive temperature. Through feature extraction and real-time analysis, potential temperature anomalies can be quickly identified, allowing for early warning and intervention to prevent accidents. Continuous accumulation and analysis of temperature characteristic information can optimize the temperature control of the power system, improving its stability and efficiency. Building a temperature characteristic information database facilitates subsequent data analysis, modeling, and prediction, providing intelligent decision support for the system and reducing manual intervention.

[0034] Specifically, in step S3 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the duty cycle modulation operation records of the switching power supply are collected and analyzed. Through the system log or control module, the duty cycle modulation operation records of the switching power supply under different loads and operating conditions are collected. These records should include information such as changes in duty cycle, working load, current, and voltage. The duty cycle modulation operation records reflect the changes in the power supply's operating state and record how the switching power supply responds to load changes and external conditions. By analyzing these operation records, the operating mode and possible changes in the operating environment of the switching power supply can be inferred. These data provide an important basis for simulating the operating environment of the bus capacitor, helping to identify possible fluctuations or instabilities in the power supply system and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent environmental simulation.

[0035] More specifically, based on the duty cycle modulation operation records of the switching power supply, combined with the voltage and current waveforms of the power supply, simulation software (such as MATLAB / Simulink) or a custom model is used to simulate the working environment of the bus capacitor. During the simulation, the effects of factors such as temperature, load changes, and current fluctuations on the bus capacitor need to be considered. The bus capacitor will exhibit different characteristics under different working environments, such as voltage fluctuations and temperature rises. Through simulation, the performance of the capacitor under different working conditions can be accurately simulated, and potential risks and instability factors can be identified. This simulation process can provide detailed working environment characteristics, including capacitor temperature changes and load voltage, to help understand the performance of the bus capacitor in actual work and provide data support for further optimization and adjustment.

[0036] More specifically, based on the simulation results, the environmental characteristics of the bus capacitor under different operating conditions are analyzed, such as temperature, voltage drop, and duty cycle. Characteristic curves of the bus capacitor under various operating environments are generated, including the relationship between temperature and voltage, and temperature changes when the load changes. Generating the operating environment characteristics of the bus capacitor helps to understand the stability and performance changes of the capacitor under different conditions. Through these characteristics, the lifespan, operating efficiency, and failure risk of the capacitor can be better predicted. Through characteristic analysis, the performance of the bus capacitor in practical applications can be revealed, the stability of the power supply system can be optimized, and damage caused by overheating or overload can be avoided.

[0037] More specifically, based on the operating environment characteristics of the bus capacitors, safety limits are set for the capacitors. These safety limits include maximum operating temperature, maximum load voltage, and minimum operating current, ensuring that the bus capacitors can operate stably under these limiting conditions. To guarantee system safety, the safe operating range of the bus capacitors must be clearly defined. By setting safety limits, operating conditions exceeding the safe range can be avoided in practical applications, preventing capacitor failures due to overload, overheating, or other reasons. Clearly defined safety limits can effectively prevent overload and overheating problems in the power system, improving the safety and reliability of the entire power system. This provides a clear basis for the optimization and protection of the power system.

[0038] More specifically, based on the safety limits and operating environment characteristics of the bus capacitors, an adaptive adjustment strategy is formulated. When the power system approaches or exceeds safety limits, the duty cycle, load, or other system parameters are automatically adjusted to ensure that the operating environment of the bus capacitors is always maintained within a safe range. In actual operation, load changes and environmental factors can cause fluctuations in the operating state of the bus capacitors. Dynamic adjustment can help the system respond to these fluctuations in a timely manner, ensuring that the capacitors operate within a safe range. Through dynamic adjustment, the safety of the power system can be significantly improved, and the occurrence of capacitor overload, overheating, and other faults can be reduced. This strategy helps to extend the service life of the bus capacitors and ensure the efficient and stable operation of the power system.

[0039] Understandably, by simulating the operating environment of the bus capacitor, its performance under different loads, temperatures, and other factors can be fully understood, thus providing a basis for optimizing power supply design. By setting safety limits and dynamic adjustment strategies for the bus capacitor, the power supply system can be effectively prevented from operating under extreme conditions, avoiding failures caused by overload operation. Through the analysis of operating environment characteristics and safety requirements, potential problems can be identified and prevented early, improving the stability and reliability of the entire power supply system. Through the system's dynamic adjustment and feedback mechanism, the switching power supply can intelligently respond to environmental changes, ensuring that the bus capacitor is always within a safe operating range, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

[0040] Specifically, in step S4 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the thermal stress and aging rate of the bus capacitor are predicted based on temperature characteristic information and working environment characteristics. Based on the previously extracted temperature characteristic information and the working environment characteristics of the bus capacitor (such as voltage, temperature fluctuations, load changes, etc.), a thermal stress and aging rate prediction model (such as the Arrhenius model or temperature-lifetime model) is used to predict the thermal stress and aging rate of the bus capacitor. Based on the temperature characteristic data of the capacitor, its thermal stress change at different temperatures is evaluated, and the aging rate of the capacitor is predicted using a temperature-lifetime relationship model. Considering the temperature fluctuations in the working environment, the lifespan of the bus capacitor is closely related to its working temperature. High temperatures will accelerate the aging of the capacitor. By predicting the thermal stress and aging rate, the durability of the capacitor can be understood in advance, providing a basis for subsequent optimization. This step provides a predictive model for the lifespan of the capacitor in the power system, which helps to discover possible aging problems of the capacitor in advance and can provide early warning of performance degradation of the capacitor during use, thus optimizing the system maintenance plan.

[0041] More specifically, based on the predicted results and safety constraints, load voltage regulation optimization analysis is performed on the bus capacitors. Combining the predicted results of thermal stress and aging rate of the bus capacitors, and considering their safety constraints (such as maximum operating voltage, temperature, etc.), load voltage regulation optimization analysis is conducted. By controlling the duty cycle or adjusting the output voltage of the power supply, the rate of temperature rise of the capacitors is reduced, thereby slowing down the thermal stress and aging process. The temperature and aging of the bus capacitors under different voltage regulation strategies are simulated, and their impact on capacitor lifespan is evaluated. By reasonably adjusting the load voltage, the capacitors can avoid operating in a high-temperature, overloaded state, thus extending their service life. The optimization analysis can reduce the thermal load and aging rate of the capacitors while ensuring power supply performance. This step can significantly extend the service life of the bus capacitors without sacrificing power supply performance, thereby optimizing the stability and efficiency of the power supply system.

[0042] More specifically, this study assesses and monitors the impact of load voltage regulation optimization on the overall efficiency and stability of the switching power supply based on the characteristics of the operating environment. According to the characteristics of the operating environment (such as temperature, load fluctuations, voltage fluctuations, etc.), the impact of load voltage regulation optimization on the overall efficiency and stability of the switching power supply is evaluated. Simulation models are used to test the power supply efficiency and stability under different optimization strategies. By simulating the changes in system energy efficiency under different load voltage adjustments, the degree of efficiency improvement after optimization is evaluated. The fluctuations and stability of the system under different operating conditions are monitored, and it is analyzed whether voltage regulation can maintain the long-term stable operation of the power supply system. Load voltage regulation not only affects the lifespan of the bus capacitors but also the efficiency and stability of the switching power supply. By evaluating the efficiency and stability after optimization, it is ensured that while improving capacitor lifespan, the overall performance of the power supply system is not affected. Through comprehensive evaluation, it can be ensured that load voltage regulation optimization measures will not cause system efficiency loss, while improving power supply stability and avoiding system instability or performance degradation caused by over-regulation.

[0043] More specifically, this paper proposes optimized adjustment measures and implements dynamic adjustment. Based on the above analysis results, an optimized scheme for load voltage regulation is proposed, and dynamic adjustment is achieved through a control system. A dynamic adjustment strategy is set to adjust the output voltage according to real-time temperature and load changes to avoid capacitor overheating or overload. A feedback mechanism is designed to monitor the capacitor temperature and operating status in real time and dynamically adjust the power supply load voltage based on real-time data. In actual operation, load changes and environmental fluctuations are unavoidable. The dynamic adjustment strategy can ensure that the power supply system maintains optimal performance under different operating conditions. Dynamic adjustment can adaptively adjust the power supply output voltage according to the real-time status of the bus capacitor, maintain the efficient operation of the power supply system, and extend the service life of the bus capacitor.

[0044] Understandably, by optimizing the load voltage, the thermal stress and aging process of the bus capacitors can be reduced, thereby extending the capacitors' lifespan and preventing failures caused by overheating. Optimizing the load voltage not only effectively protects the capacitors but also improves the overall efficiency of the power supply. By dynamically adjusting the voltage, energy efficiency can be maximized, and by precisely adjusting the voltage, the stability of the power supply system can be maintained, reducing system fluctuations and instability. This ensures that the power supply can work reliably under various loads and environments. By introducing real-time temperature and load monitoring and combining it with an intelligent feedback mechanism, the power supply output voltage can be dynamically adjusted, improving the system's intelligence and adaptability.

[0045] Specifically, in step S5 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the previously analyzed load voltage regulation optimization measures, the control system transmits regulation commands to the PFC (Power Factor Correction) boost circuit. Specifically, based on the load voltage requirements and optimization goals of the bus capacitor, a target voltage is set and used as input to issue regulation commands to the PFC circuit. The PFC boost circuit is mainly responsible for increasing the input voltage and adjusting it to an appropriate load voltage. Through precise regulation commands, it can ensure that the bus capacitor operates within a safe and efficient voltage range. Accurate regulation commands also ensure that the PFC boost circuit precisely controls the output voltage, avoiding excessively high or low voltages that could cause capacitor overheating or failure, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the bus capacitor.

[0046] More specifically, based on optimized adjustment measures, the switching control mechanism of the PFC boost circuit is adjusted. By controlling parameters such as the switching frequency and duty cycle of the switching transistor, the circuit output voltage is adjusted to meet the load requirements of the bus capacitor. The operating frequency of the PFC boost circuit is adjusted to adapt to the load voltage regulation requirements. Higher frequencies result in faster voltage response, while lower frequencies help improve efficiency. The output voltage is finely adjusted by controlling the duty cycle of the switching transistor. The output voltage of the PFC boost circuit is determined by the adjustment of the switching frequency and duty cycle. Precise control of the switching frequency and duty cycle according to the voltage requirements of the bus capacitor enables precise voltage regulation. Through optimized switching control, more stable and efficient voltage regulation can be achieved, improving the dynamic response capability of the PFC circuit and the overall efficiency of the system, while avoiding capacitor overload and overheating.

[0047] More specifically, the operating voltage of the bus capacitor is monitored in real time, and the measurement results are fed back to the PFC boost circuit. Through the system feedback mechanism, the output of the PFC circuit is adjusted in real time to ensure that the bus capacitor operates within the set safe voltage range. Voltage sensors or other monitoring devices are used to continuously acquire the voltage information of the bus capacitor. When the voltage deviates from the set value, the feedback mechanism will dynamically adjust the output of the PFC circuit to correct voltage fluctuations. The voltage of the bus capacitor needs to remain stable within the set range. Real-time voltage monitoring and adjustment based on feedback information ensure that the capacitor operates within a safe range and prevents damage caused by excessively high or low voltage. Through real-time feedback adjustment, the system can quickly respond to load changes or environmental fluctuations, ensuring that the capacitor is always in a safe and stable operating state, thereby improving the reliability and lifespan of the system.

[0048] More specifically, based on the load voltage regulation requirements of the bus capacitor, the efficiency and stability of the PFC boost circuit are optimized. By adjusting the switching frequency, duty cycle, and filter configuration, the circuit's conversion efficiency and stability are optimized, reducing power loss and improving system response speed. Adjusting the circuit's operating point ensures high-efficiency operation. Optimizing conversion efficiency reduces system heat loss, improves overall performance, and ensures stable operation of the PFC boost circuit during load voltage regulation, avoiding output voltage fluctuations or excessive transient responses. Optimizing the efficiency and stability of the PFC circuit reduces system energy loss and improves system operational stability. Effective stability management prevents capacitor damage due to voltage fluctuations during operation. Optimizing the PFC boost circuit not only improves the overall efficiency of the power supply system but also ensures stable operation under different load conditions, enhancing the overall performance of the power supply system.

[0049] More specifically, dynamic voltage regulation and real-time monitoring are implemented under load variations. By monitoring load changes in the bus capacitors, the operating mode of the PFC circuit is automatically adjusted to maintain the capacitor voltage within the ideal range. The output voltage of the PFC boost circuit is automatically adjusted according to load changes to prevent capacitor voltage instability caused by load fluctuations. Real-time monitoring tools ensure that the adjustment process does not negatively impact the system and can trigger protection mechanisms when necessary. Load changes can cause fluctuations in bus capacitor voltage. Through dynamic regulation, the capacitors are always kept in optimal operating condition, avoiding faults caused by overload or undervoltage. Dynamic regulation improves the system's adaptability to load changes, ensures capacitor voltage stability, and reduces the risk of failure.

[0050] Understandably, by optimizing parameters such as the switching frequency and duty cycle of the PFC boost circuit, the output voltage can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the bus capacitor operates within a safe range. Optimizing the efficiency of the PFC circuit improves overall energy efficiency, reduces system power loss, thereby saving energy and reducing system heat load. Through real-time feedback mechanisms and dynamic adjustments, it can quickly respond to system load changes, maintain stable operation of the power supply system, and prevent voltage fluctuations from affecting the normal operation of the bus capacitor. By precisely adjusting the load voltage, capacitor overload and overheating are avoided, thereby extending the service life of the bus capacitor and reducing the occurrence of failures. By globally optimizing the efficiency and stability of the PFC boost circuit, not only is the working efficiency of the bus capacitor improved, but the performance and reliability of the entire power supply system are also enhanced.

[0051] This invention provides a control method for a switching power supply, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0052] This invention uses real-time sampling of the feedback signal from a switching power supply for duty cycle modulation analysis. It collects temperature data from the bus capacitor to generate temperature characteristic information. Based on the duty cycle modulation records, it simulates the operating environment characteristics and safety limitations of the bus capacitor. Combining temperature characteristics and operating environment information, it performs load voltage optimization analysis, evaluates the impact of adjustment optimization on the overall efficiency and stability of the power supply, proposes optimization measures, and drives the PFC boost circuit to adjust the load voltage of the bus capacitor. This method can accurately adjust the load voltage of the switching power supply, extend the service life of the bus capacitor, improve power supply efficiency and stability, avoid system failures caused by overheating or aging, and ensure long-term reliable operation of the power supply. It solves the problem of poor optimization effect in adjusting the load voltage of the bus capacitor in existing technologies.

[0053] Preferably, the step of real-time sampling of the feedback signal of the switching power supply and analyzing the adjustment measures of the sampled signal based on a preset standard to modulate the duty cycle of the power switching transistor of the switching power supply includes:

[0054] S11: Select a voltage signal or a current signal as a feedback signal, and collect the selected feedback signal of the switching power supply in real time through a pre-installed sensing module, and generate a timestamp for each collected feedback signal to form a feedback monitoring sequence.

[0055] S12: Perform periodic and trend pattern mining on the feedback monitoring sequence to generate the expected pattern of the feedback signal of the switching power supply, and perform adaptive parameter deployment on the preset standard duty cycle modulation algorithm according to the expected pattern of the feedback signal.

[0056] S13: Perform difference analysis on the feedback signal at the current moment according to the standard reference signal of the preset standard to obtain signal difference characteristics. At the same time, calculate the modulation measures on the signal difference characteristics according to the duty cycle modulation algorithm after adaptive parameter deployment to obtain the duty cycle modulation measures. Then, perform duty cycle modulation on the power switch tube of the switching power supply according to the duty cycle measures.

[0057] Specifically, based on the control objectives of the switching power supply, either a voltage signal or a current signal is selected as the feedback signal. The voltage signal is typically used to detect the stability of the bus voltage, while the current signal is used to assess the power consumption during load changes. Selecting the appropriate signal type ensures that the feedback signal accurately reflects the operating state of the switching power supply. The voltage and current signals reflect the output voltage and load current of the switching power supply, respectively, and they play different roles in the control system. Selecting the appropriate signal type can more accurately reflect the actual operating state of the system, providing a valid basis for subsequent adjustment measures. Selecting an appropriate signal as the feedback input ensures that the subsequent control algorithm can accurately acquire the dynamic characteristics of the system, laying the foundation for the next step of signal acquisition and analysis.

[0058] More specifically, a sensing module is pre-installed in the switching power supply to collect selected voltage or current signals in real time. Each collected feedback signal is timestamped, and these timestamps accurately record the acquisition time of the feedback signal, forming a feedback monitoring sequence containing a time series. Real-time acquisition and timestamping are used to accurately record the operating status of the switching power supply at different points in time. This data is an important basis for subsequent analysis and adjustment, and can help the system understand the changing patterns of the feedback signal. Through the timestamped sampling data, the historical state of the system can be clearly traced, and trend and periodic changes can be identified in subsequent analysis, providing effective data support for adjustment measures.

[0059] More specifically, the periodicity and trend of the collected feedback monitoring sequences are mined to analyze the fluctuation patterns, periodic characteristics, and long-term trends of the feedback signals. By using time series analysis techniques, the expected patterns of the feedback signals can be identified. Feedback signals usually have certain periodicity and trends, and these patterns can help predict the future state of the switching power supply. By mining these patterns, basic data can be provided for the adaptive adjustment of the duty cycle modulation algorithm. Mining periodicity and trend patterns can help the system anticipate the changing trends of the feedback signals, thereby achieving more effective regulation, avoiding over-adjustment or lag response, and improving the control performance and stability of the switching power supply.

[0060] More specifically, based on the expected pattern of the generated feedback signal, the parameters of the preset standard duty cycle modulation algorithm are adjusted. These parameters are adaptively optimized according to the trend and pattern of the feedback signal, making the duty cycle adjustment more precise. The preset standard duty cycle modulation algorithm needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the changes in the real-time feedback signal. The deployment of adaptive parameters can optimize the control effect according to the actual operating conditions, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency and response speed. Through the deployment of adaptive parameters, the system can flexibly adjust the duty cycle adjustment strategy according to the changes in the actual feedback signal, achieve fine control, and improve the system's responsiveness to changes.

[0061] More specifically, based on a preset standard reference signal, a difference analysis of the current feedback signal is performed. By comparing the difference between the reference signal and the currently acquired signal, signal difference features are extracted.
