[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Traditional methods typically employ methods such as Figure 1 The synchronous conduction mode Boost converter shown has a switching transistor ( and At the instants of switching on and off, the voltage and current on the converter exist simultaneously and are not zero, resulting in significant switching losses. These switching losses increase linearly with frequency, limiting the converter's operating frequency. Furthermore, the input current... Completely equal to inductor current The current rises when the switch is turned on and falls when it is turned off, exhibiting a sawtooth wave shape with a high ripple rate. For sensitive power sources like hydrogen fuel cells, the huge current ripple can cause fluctuations in the electrochemical reaction inside the fuel cell, accelerate the aging of the catalyst and proton exchange membrane, and reduce the service life of the hydrogen fuel cell.

[0051] To effectively improve the operating frequency of the converter and extend the service life of the hydrogen fuel cell, this invention provides a non-isolated unidirectional Boost converter and its coupling inductor design method. This method controls the alternating switching of the first and second switching transistors, enabling bidirectional current flow through the magnetizing inductor. This achieves zero-voltage turn-on of either the first or second switching transistor, significantly reducing switching device losses and improving the overall efficiency of the converter. Furthermore, by utilizing a passive filter branch based on the coupling inductor, a filter current with a phase opposite to the current ripple component of the magnetizing inductor can be generated, canceling the input current ripple and greatly reducing the current stress on the fuel cell, effectively extending its service life.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a non-isolated unidirectional boost converter, including an input power supply. First switching transistor Second switching transistor and output capacitor Its innovation lies in the introduction of a coupled inductor unit 21 and a passive filter branch 22.

[0054] Coupled inductor unit 21, whose primary winding serves as the magnetizing inductor of the converter. Directly participate Energy storage and transfer in the circuit; secondary winding and auxiliary capacitor of coupled inductor unit 21 This forms a passive filter branch 22 connected in series; where,

[0055] Passive filter branch 22 and input power supply in parallel;

[0056] The converter is configured to control the first switching transistor Second switching transistor The alternating switching on and off of the magnetizing inductor causes current to flow through it. The current flows bidirectionally, thereby enabling control of the first switching transistor. Or the second switching transistor Zero-voltage turn-on;

[0057] The passive filter branch 22 is configured to generate a connection with the magnetizing inductor through the coupling effect of the coupling inductor unit 21. The filter current is in phase with the current ripple component; the filter current and the current ripple component are superimposed to cancel the ripple of the input current.

[0058] In one feasible implementation, the coupled inductor unit 21 is integrated on an EE-type magnetic core using an interleaved winding structure; wherein the primary winding and the secondary winding are respectively wound on two side posts of the EE-type magnetic core.

[0059] In one feasible implementation, the equivalent cantilever model of the coupled inductor unit 21 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes parallel magnetizing inductors. and ideal transformer Among them, ideal transformer Secondary side and equivalent leakage inductance Series connection; passive filter branch 22 consists of an ideal transformer Equivalent leakage inductance and auxiliary capacitors The structure is as follows. The conversion relationship between the coupled inductor model and the cantilever model can be expressed as: .in, Indicates the original side's self-perception. Indicates the self-perception of the secondary side. Indicates the mutual inductance between the primary and secondary edges. This represents the coupling coefficient, used to quantify the degree of magnetic coupling between two inductors (or windings).

[0060] In one feasible implementation, the condition for canceling the input current ripple is: an ideal transformer turns ratio and excitation inductance , equivalent leakage inductance satisfy the relationship .

[0061] The derivation process of the condition for canceling the ripple of the input current is described below.

[0062] To ensure that the input current ripple is 0, that is, the AC component of the input current is 0, only the condition needs to be met:

[0066] From the inductance energy storage formula and the transformer turns ratio relationship, it can be obtained that: .

[0067] Simplifying it gives: .

[0068] In some other embodiments under the circuits of different transformers corresponding to different working conditions, different values can be selected according to experience, and then values are determined according to . At this time, the input current ripple can be . It should be noted that after adding the passive filter, the primary side inductance current is also affected by the secondary side current. To ensure that the primary side inductance current can still be negatively turned on to achieve the zero voltage turn-on condition, it is necessary to ensure that the equivalent value of the primary side inductance after adding the passive filter satisfies the inductance value selected to achieve the zero voltage turn-on. From the above formula, it can be obtained that: ; at this time, the primary side inductance current satisfies the required condition for realizing the zero voltage turn-on, and the input current ripple is eliminated.

[0069] In the embodiment of the application, the non-isolated unidirectional Boost type converter further comprises a control unit, and the control unit is configured to perform digital adaptive frequency modulation.

[0070] In the dead time, the junction capacitance of the off switch tube is discharged by the current of the excitation inductance , so that the body diode of the off switch tube is turned on; the off switch tube is the first switch tube or the second switch tube ;

[0072] According to the input voltage, the output voltage, the excitation inductance value and the preset negative peak value of the inductance current, the switching frequency of the next switching period is dynamically calculated and set to ensure that the excitation inductance current is negative at the beginning of the dead time.

[0073] Next, taking one complete switching period in the embodiment of the application as an example, the control process of the control unit is described, which specifically includes stages 1 to 4.

[0075] Stage 2, the first switch tube is turned on, because in stage 1, the drain-source voltage of the first switch tube has dropped to zero, so the first switch tube realizes zero-voltage turn-on. The voltage across the excitation inductance is the input voltage, and in this stage, the current of the excitation inductance will continuously increase from its minimum value to its maximum value, until the first switch tube is off, and stage 3 is entered.

[0076] Stage 3, the first switch tube is off, and the converter again enters the dead time, the first switch tube and the second switch tube are kept off, and the current of the excitation inductance flows through the second switch tube , and the forward current of the excitation inductance flows through the body diode of the second switch tube to discharge the junction capacitance, until the drain-source voltage of the second switch tube drops to zero (at this time, the second switch tube turn-on, first switch tube If the first switch tube is turned off (i.e., the first switch tube is in the off state), the converter enters phase 4.

[0077] turn-off, second switch tube The first switch tube is turned on during the conduction of the body diode, realizing zero-voltage turn-on. The magnetizing inductor has a voltage across it of the input voltage minus the output voltage, and the current of the magnetizing inductor continuously decreases from its maximum value to its minimum value until the moment when the second switch tube is turned off, at which time the converter enters the next switching period.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, after the end of the previous switching period, the control unit dynamically calculates and sets the switching frequency of the next switching period according to the input voltage, the output voltage, the value of the magnetizing inductor, and the preset negative peak value of the inductor current, to ensure that the current of the magnetizing inductor is negative at the beginning of the dead time.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the expression of the switching frequency is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] wherein, f represents the switching frequency, T represents the switching period, Ton represents the turn-on time of the switch tube, Toff represents the turn-off time of the switch tube, Vin represents the input voltage, Vout represents the output voltage, Ipeak represents the negative peak value of the inductor current.

Specifically, the present application adopts an interleaved winding design, as shown in Figure 4 . Figure 4 wherein, and A1 and A2 represent the cross-sectional areas of the side magnetic columns and the middle magnetic column, the main winding on the two side magnetic columns is , and the interleaved winding is . For example, the blue line segment represents the primary winding, and the red line segment represents the secondary winding. On the left side magnetic column, the number of turns of the primary winding is , and the number of turns of the secondary winding is . The magnetic flux distribution based on the interleaved winding design provided by the present application is shown in Figure 5 , and it can be seen from Figure 5 that the magnetic flux distribution of the three magnetic columns under the interleaved structure is relatively uniform. ​

[0084] In an embodiment, the flow chart of the coupling inductance design method is shown in FIG. 6, which includes steps 61-65. Figure 6

[0092] In step 63, the magnetic resistances of the side columns and the middle column of the magnetic core are calculated using the magnetic fluxes according to the definitions of self-inductance and mutual inductance.

[0093] Specifically, the magnetic resistances of the side columns and the middle column of the magnetic core are calculated using the definitions of self-inductance and mutual inductance as follows:

[0096]

[0097] wherein Lp represents the primary self-inductance, Ls represents the secondary self-inductance, and M represents the mutual inductance between the primary and the secondary, with the negative sign indicating the opposite direction. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[0098] Step 64, according to the magnetic resistance and the cross-sectional area of the magnetic core, the required air gap length of each magnetic column is calculated.

[0099] It should be noted that the magnetic resistance of the magnetic core itself can be ignored compared with the magnetic resistance of air, so the magnetic resistance of each magnetic column is mainly determined by its air gap:

[0113] According to the estimated product and the operating frequency of the coupling inductance, select the appropriate material type of the coupling inductance magnetic core. The turns ratio of the coupling inductance can be calculated as follows: The voltage of the secondary side of the coupling inductance is half of the primary side, and the number of turns of the secondary side of the coupling inductance can be obtained.
