Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of synchronous switch, in particular to a self-driven peak detection switch circuit and a power generation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an effective electrostatic energy extraction device, the synchronous switch can convert the continuous alternating voltage output by the generator into pulsed high voltage, thereby reducing the output impedance of the generator. At the same time, the synchronous switch can also improve the electromechanical coupling mode of the generator and enhance the output of the generator.

[0003] The existing peak detection type electronic synchronous switch controls the closing of the transistor switch by designing a peak detection module and using the output voltage signal, so as to achieve the closing at the accurate voltage peak and realize the optimal energy output.

[0004] However, due to the complexity of the existing peak detection and transistor driving circuit, a large amount of energy from the generator is consumed to work, and sometimes the external power supply is needed, which greatly reduces the available energy under the action of the switch. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a self-driven peak detection switch circuit capable of reducing the energy consumption of the generator.

[0006] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a self-driven peak detection switch circuit, which comprises a first diode, a first capacitor and a synchronous switch circuit, the synchronous switch circuit comprising an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor and a first resistor, the gate of the NMOS transistor being connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor and one end of the first resistor, the anode of the first diode being connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor and the input end of the circuit, the cathode of the first diode being connected to one end of the first capacitor and the source of the PMOS transistor, the other end of the first capacitor being connected to the source of the NMOS transistor, the other end of the first resistor and the output end of the circuit.

[0007] The first diode is used to turn off the synchronous switch circuit in the input voltage rising stage.

[0008] The first capacitor is used to charge in the input voltage rising stage and discharge in the input voltage falling stage, so as to drive the synchronous switch circuit to close.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit further comprises a second capacitor, which is arranged on the path of the first diode and the first capacitor and is connected in series with the first capacitor.

[0010] In one embodiment, a second capacitor is disposed between the first diode and the NMOS transistor. One end of the second capacitor is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor and the circuit input terminal, and the other end of the second capacitor is connected to the anode of the first diode and the gate of the PMOS transistor.

[0011] In one embodiment, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit further includes a second diode and a third diode. The anode of the second diode is connected to the cathode of the third diode and the other end of the first capacitor. The cathode of the second diode is connected to the anode of the first diode and the other end of the second capacitor. The anode of the third diode is grounded.

[0012] In one embodiment, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit further includes a fourth diode, which is disposed at any point in the path between the circuit input terminal, the NMOS transistor, and the circuit output terminal, so that when the NMOS transistor is turned on, electrical energy flows from the circuit input terminal to the circuit output terminal.

[0013] In one embodiment, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit further includes a fifth diode. The anode of the fifth diode is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, or to any point on the path between the drain of the PMOS transistor and the gate of the NMOS transistor. The cathode of the fifth diode is connected to any point on the path between the circuit input terminal, the NMOS transistor, and the circuit output terminal. The fifth diode is used to release the charge in the first capacitor so that the NMOS transistor enters the cutoff state when the input voltage is lower than the voltage across the first capacitor.

[0014] In one embodiment, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit further includes a second resistor, one end of which is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the other end of which is connected to both the gate of the NMOS transistor and one end of the first resistor; or,

[0015] The self-driven peak detection switch circuit also includes a third resistor, one end of which is connected to both the drain of the PMOS transistor and one end of the first resistor, and the other end of which is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor; or,

[0016] The self-driven peak detection switch circuit also includes a fourth resistor and a fifth resistor. One end of the fourth resistor is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the other end of the fourth resistor is connected to one end of the fifth resistor and one end of the first resistor. The other end of the fifth resistor is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor.

[0017] Secondly, this application provides a power generation system, which includes an electrostatic generator, a load, and at least one self-driven peak detection switch circuit as described in any of the first aspects above; the electrostatic generator is connected to the circuit input terminal of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit, and the circuit output terminal of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit is connected to the load.

[0018] In one embodiment, the generator of the electrostatic generator includes an electrostatic generator or a piezoelectric generator; the electrostatic generator is a device that realizes the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy through electrostatic induction, and the electrostatic generator includes an electret generator or a triboelectric nanogenerator.

[0019] In one embodiment, the positive terminal of the generator is connected to the circuit input terminal of a self-driven peak detection switch circuit, the negative terminal of the generator is connected to the circuit input terminal of another self-driven peak detection switch circuit, and the circuit output terminal of each self-driven peak detection switch circuit is connected to the load.

[0020] The aforementioned self-driven peak detection switch circuit includes a first diode, a first capacitor, and a synchronous switch circuit. The synchronous switch circuit includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor, and a first resistor. The gate of the NMOS transistor is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor and one end of the first resistor. The anode of the first diode is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor, and the circuit input terminal. The cathode of the first diode is connected to one end of the first capacitor and the source of the PMOS transistor. The other end of the first capacitor is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor, the other end of the first resistor, and the circuit output terminal. The first diode is used to turn off the synchronous switch circuit during the input voltage rise phase. The first capacitor is used to charge during the input voltage rise phase and discharge during the input voltage fall phase to drive the synchronous switch circuit to close. Thus, during the voltage rise phase before the input voltage reaches its peak, the circuit input terminal, the first diode, and the first capacitor are connected to the circuit output terminal, charging the first capacitor. The first diode generates a stable voltage drop, causing the PMOS transistor to turn off stably, and consequently the NMOS transistor also turns off. When the input voltage begins to decrease after reaching its peak, the first diode is reverse-biased, and the voltage across the first capacitor remains constant. As the input voltage decreases, the gate voltage of the PMOS transistor is lower than the source voltage, causing the PMOS transistor to turn on. This releases the charge stored in the first capacitor to the gate of the NMOS transistor, driving the NMOS transistor to turn on. This causes the energy / charge in the generator capacitor to flow to the load side, resulting in a rapid decrease in the input voltage, which in turn promotes the PMOS transistor to turn on. The PMOS transistor, in turn, further promotes the NMOS transistor to turn on, thus forming a positive feedback loop. The synchronous switching circuit will remain on until the voltage / energy on the first capacitor can no longer drive the NMOS transistor to turn on. The self-driven peak detection switch circuit described above can effectively detect the peak value of the generator output and achieve self-driven closing at the peak value by relying solely on the generator output. Since the NMOS has a low driving charge, the first capacitor only needs to store a small amount of charge to effectively drive the NMOS, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the generator and improving the energy utilization efficiency.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description of the application will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiments of the application are shown in the drawings. However, the application may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein (rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be more thorough and complete).

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0033] It is understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used herein may be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first resistor may be referred to as a second resistor, and similarly, a second resistor may be referred to as a first resistor. Both the first resistor and the second resistor are resistors, but they are not the same resistor.

[0034] It is understood that the term "connection" in the following embodiments should be understood as "electrical connection," "communication connection," etc., if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc., have electrical signal or data transmission with each other.

[0035] It is understandable that "at least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more. "At least a part of an element" refers to part or all of an element.

It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0037] Electrostatic generators have shown great potential in low-frequency and irregular kinetic energy harvesting, offering a green and sustainable solution to the energy supply challenges of distributed sensing nodes such as those in the Internet of Things (IoT). However, due to the inherent capacitive characteristics of these generators, their output internal resistance typically reaches megaohms or even gigohms, significantly reducing their output under low-resistivity loads. Synchronous switches, as effective electrostatic energy extraction devices, can convert the continuous AC voltage output from the generator into pulsed high voltage, reducing the generator's output impedance. Simultaneously, synchronous switches improve the generator's electromechanical coupling mode, enhancing its output. Because the generator's output capacitance is extremely small (~pF to ~nF) while its output voltage is extremely high (~hundredsV to kiloV), the design parameters of the synchronous switch greatly influence its impedance matching with the generator, affecting the final achievable electrical output. Furthermore, to achieve optimal energy output, the switch must close at the peak of the generator's output voltage; closing it at other points may fail to enhance the output or even have a negative effect.

[0038] Currently, the development of synchronous switching technology can be roughly divided into three categories: mechanical synchronous switches, threshold-type electronic synchronous switches, and peak-detection electronic synchronous switches. Specifically: 1) Mechanical synchronous switches achieve closure by designing a decarrier switch structure that precisely closes at the physical position corresponding to the peak output voltage of the generator (e.g., precisely generating contact between moving electrodes). Although simple in structure, it requires customized design for different generator structures. Slight positional deviations may lead to unstable switch operation or performance degradation, resulting in poor robustness. Simultaneously, mechanical switches introduce additional frictional resistance and unexpected discharges at high voltages, reducing electromechanical conversion efficiency and affecting long-term operational stability. 2) Threshold-type electronic synchronous switches utilize electronic threshold switches, including commercially available gas discharge tubing (GDT), air breakdown threshold switches, or silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) combined with voltage regulation circuits. The closure of these switches depends on a voltage threshold; when the generator reaches the set threshold, the switch closes. Therefore, the switch threshold is typically set near the peak output voltage of the generator. However, since the peak output voltage of a generator may vary with its operating conditions, the threshold voltage often needs to be set based on the generator's lowest peak voltage to ensure that the threshold switch can still operate under these conditions. Otherwise, all electrical energy output below the threshold voltage must be abandoned, which makes this type of switch less practical. 3) Peak-detection electronic synchronous switches use a peak detection module to control the transistor switch to close accurately at the voltage peak by using the output voltage signal. However, due to the complexity of existing peak detection and transistor drive circuits, which consume excessive energy, these switches often require a large amount of electrical energy from the generator to operate, and sometimes even need to rely on external power supply. This greatly reduces the final electrical energy obtainable under the operation of this type of switch.

[0039] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a self-driven peak detection switching circuit that can reduce energy consumption of the generator.

[0040] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a power generation system 10, which includes a generator 100, a self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 and a load 300. The self-driven peak detection switch is disposed between the generator 100 and the load 300. The generator 100 is connected to the circuit input terminal of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200, and the circuit output terminal of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 is connected to the load 300.

[0041] The circuit structure of the self-driven peak detection switch is described below, such as... Figure 2The diagram shown is a possible self-driven peak detection switch circuit. The self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 includes a first diode D1 and a first capacitor C. Drive And a synchronous switching circuit, which includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor, and a first resistor R. NMOS The gate of the NMOS transistor, the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the first resistor R NMOS One end of each diode is connected to the circuit. The anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor, and the circuit input terminal. The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first capacitor C. Drive One end of the capacitor is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, and the first capacitor C is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor. Drive The other end is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor and the first resistor R. NMOS The other end is connected to both the circuit output terminal.

[0042] The first diode D1 is used to turn off the synchronous switching circuit during the input voltage rise phase; the first capacitor C... Drive It is used to charge during the rising phase of the input voltage and discharge during the falling phase of the input voltage to drive the synchronous switching circuit to close.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows the working logic of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200. A complete switch closure consists of two stages: the input voltage rise stage, and the input voltage rise stage. Figure 3 As shown, and during the input voltage drop phase, as Figure 4 As shown. The input voltage of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 is the output voltage of the electrostatic generator.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 At the generator output voltage V in During the voltage rise phase before reaching the peak value, the generator, first diode D1, and first capacitor C... Drive With the "load" path connected, due to the presence of capacitor displacement current, the first capacitor C... Drive It will accumulate charge during charging, and at the same time, during the input voltage rise phase, there is current in this path, and the first diode D1 generates a stable voltage drop V. D Since the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor and the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, the voltage drop V D This causes the gate voltage of the PMOS transistor to be greater than the source voltage, resulting in a gate-source voltage (V) of the PMOS transistor. GS The value remains positive throughout, maintaining the stable shutdown of the PMOS transistor. During this phase, the NMOS transistor also remains stable.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4At the generator output voltage V in During the decline phase after reaching the peak value, the first diode D1 is reverse-biased and the first capacitor C... Drive With the voltage across both terminals remaining constant, at this time, as the generator output voltage V... in The decrease in voltage (V) of the PMOS transistor leads to a decrease in the gate voltage (V) of the PMOS transistor. G,P = V in The source voltage (V) also decreases. S,P = V Drive The gate voltage of the PMOS transistor remains constant, gradually decreasing below the source voltage, driving the PMOS transistor to conduct. After the PMOS transistor is turned on, the first capacitor C... Drive PMOS transistor and first resistor R NMOS The path 1 between them is open, and the energy stored in the first capacitor C is... Drive The charge is released to the gate of the NMOS transistor, in the first resistor R NMOS A gate-source voltage is formed between the gate and source of the NMOS transistor, driving it to turn on. After the NMOS transistor turns on, path 2 between the NMOS, the generator, and the load is open. Energy / charge in the generator capacitor flows to the load side through path 2, causing the generator output voltage V to increase. in The voltage drops rapidly, which in turn promotes the conduction of the PMOS transistor, and the PMOS transistor further promotes the conduction of the NMOS transistor, thus forming a positive feedback loop. The synchronous switching circuit will continue to conduct until the voltage / energy on the first capacitor can no longer drive the NMOS transistor to conduct.

[0046] Among them, the synchronous switching structure of positive feedback loop also enables the improvement of peak detection sensitivity and greatly improves the switching closing speed, reducing the switching closing speed to the tens of ns level, reducing switching closing losses, and improving the final generator output.

[0047] Optionally, an NMOS transistor can be used as the main switch, and a low-Q transistor can be employed. GS By using NMOS transistors that meet the conduction requirements, the drive charge required by the synchronous switching circuit can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the energy demand on the generator and increasing the generator's output energy to the load.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic of another possible self-driven peak detection switch circuit. Please refer to it. Figure 5 The self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 includes a first diode D1 and a first capacitor C. Drive And a synchronous switching circuit, which includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor, and a first resistor R. NMOS The gate of the NMOS transistor, the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the first resistor R NMOSOne end of each diode is connected to the circuit. The anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor, and the circuit input terminal. The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first capacitor C. Drive One end of the capacitor is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, and the first capacitor C is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor. Drive The other end is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor and the first resistor R. NMOS The other end and the circuit output are both connected.

[0050] Due to limitations in current semiconductor technology, PMOS transistors can only withstand voltages of a few hundred volts, and the driving voltage they can withstand is even lower than tens of volts. In this case, self-driven peak detection switching circuits are usually difficult to apply to the output voltage of electrostatic generators that can reach thousands of volts, resulting in them being unable to work or having extremely low efficiency with most generators.

[0051] Optionally, through the first capacitor C Drive Second capacitor C Div In series, the input voltage V of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit can be controlled. in Voltage division is performed, first capacitor C Drive voltage V Drive = V in ×C Drive / (C Div +C Drive This effectively reduces the first capacitor C.

[0052] By selecting an appropriate voltage division ratio, low-voltage PMOS transistors and low-drive-voltage NMOS transistors can still be used when the input voltage is high. Furthermore, the maximum withstand voltage of the self-driven peak detection switch circuit depends entirely on the withstand voltage of the main switch NMOS transistor, which greatly improves the applicability of the switch to high-output-voltage electrostatic generators.

[0053] Furthermore, since the capacitor voltage divider structure only divides the voltage, it does not affect the first capacitor C.Drive The amount of charge obtained (Q) Drive = V max ×C 总电容 Taking advantage of the generator's high output voltage, even the second capacitor C Div Even with a capacitance value in the pF range, the circuit can obtain sufficient charge to effectively drive the synchronous switching circuit.

[0054] In such Figure 5 The self-driven peak detection switch circuit shown also consists of two stages in a complete switch closure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] It is understandable that the self-driven peak detection switch circuit includes a second capacitor C. Div At that time, when the generator output voltage V in During the decline phase after reaching the peak value, the first diode D1 is reverse-biased and the first capacitor C...

G,P = V in -V Div (It also decreased.)

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic of another possible self-driven peak detection switch circuit. Please refer to it. Figure 6 The self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 includes a first diode D1 and a first capacitor C. Drive And a synchronous switching circuit, which includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor, and a first resistor R. NMOS The gate of the NMOS transistor, the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the first resistor R NMOS One end of each diode is connected to the circuit. The anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor, and the circuit input terminal.

Drive One end of the capacitor is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, and the first capacitor C is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor. Drive The other end is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor and the first resistor R. NMOSThe other end and the circuit output are both connected.

Div The other end of each diode is connected, and the anode of the third diode D3 is grounded.

Div This state is crucial for the next correct and reliable peak detection and switching triggering.

[0058] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, the self-driven peak detection switch circuit also includes a fourth diode D4. The fourth diode D4 is located at any point in the path where the circuit input terminal, the NMOS transistor, and the circuit output terminal are located, so that when the NMOS transistor is turned on, the charge flows from the circuit input terminal to the circuit output terminal.

[0059] The fourth diode, D4, can prevent reverse current surges and avoid damage to the synchronous switching circuit.

NMOS The other end and the other end C of the first capacitor Drive All are connected, with the cathode of the fourth diode D4 connected to the circuit output terminal.

[0062] In another possible embodiment, the anode of the fourth diode D4 can also be connected to the circuit input terminal, and the cathode of the fourth diode D4 can be connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor.

[0063] It is understood that the connection method of the fourth diode D4 is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0064] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7A or Figure 7B The diagram shows two possible self-driven peak detection switch circuits. Please refer to them. Figure 7A or Figure 7B The self-driven peak detection switch circuit 200 includes a first diode D1 and a first capacitor C. Drive And a synchronous switching circuit, which includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor, and a first resistor R. NMOS The gate of the NMOS transistor, the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the first resistor R NMOS One end of each diode is connected to the circuit. The anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor, the drain of the NMOS transistor, and the circuit input terminal. The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first capacitor C. Drive One end of the capacitor is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, and the first capacitor C is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor. Drive The other end is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor and the first resistor R. NMOS The other end of the circuit is connected to both the circuit output terminal and the self-driven peak detection switch circuit. The self-driven peak detection switch circuit also includes a fifth diode D5. The anode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, or to any point on the path between the drain of the PMOS transistor and the gate of the NMOS transistor. The cathode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to any point on the path between the circuit input terminal, the NMOS transistor and the circuit output terminal. The fifth diode D5 is used to release the charge in the first capacitor so that the NMOS transistor enters the cut-off state when the input voltage is lower than the voltage across the first capacitor.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 7A As shown, the anode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor, and the cathode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor. Figure 7B As shown, the anode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor, and the cathode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor.

[0066] By placing a fifth diode D5 between the PMOS and NMOS transistors, the first capacitor C can be de-energized when the input voltage drops below the voltage across the first capacitor. DriveThe charge on the transistor is released rapidly, allowing the main switch NMOS transistor to enter the cutoff state in a timely manner. This shortens the switch's on-time while ensuring sufficient energy transfer, reducing unnecessary on-time and avoiding energy leakage caused by generator asynchrony during high-frequency operation due to excessively long switch on-time. This improves the switch's adaptability to high-frequency generator operation.

[0067] It is understood that the fifth diode D5 can be placed in any of the self-driven peak detection switch circuits in the above embodiments to release the charge in the first capacitor when the input voltage is lower than the voltage across the first capacitor, thereby causing the NMOS transistor to enter the cutoff state.
