[0044] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] 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 pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "each" means each of the multiple options, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0047] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0048] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] AC conversion equipment is used to connect the inverter of the energy storage power supply to the power grid system to realize the energy conversion between the energy storage power supply and the power grid system. For example, electrical energy in the power grid system can be transmitted to the inverter through the AC conversion equipment, and electrical energy output by the inverter can be transmitted to the power grid system through the AC conversion equipment.

[0050] However, to facilitate plug-and-play operation of inverters, the power interface of inverters is usually designed to be the same as that of the power grid system. For example, both the power interface of the inverter and the power interface of the power grid system are sockets, and both input terminals of the AC conversion equipment are plugs.

[0051] When using AC converters, one terminal needs to be connected to the inverter's power interface, and the other terminal to the power grid's power interface. However, because the inverter's power interface and the power grid's power interface look similar, and user behavior is unpredictable, it's easy for both ends of the AC converter to be connected to either the inverter's power interface or both to the power grid's power interface, which can easily damage the AC converter.

[0052] Based on this, the present application provides an identification circuit for an AC conversion device, which can identify the phenomenon that both ends of the AC conversion device are connected to the power interface of the inverter or to the power interface of the power grid system, thereby helping to improve the lifespan of the AC conversion device.

[0053] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device provided in the first embodiment. Figure 2A schematic diagram of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device provided in the second embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the AC conversion device has a first access terminal and a second access terminal. The first access terminal includes a first live wire terminal and a first neutral wire terminal, and the second access terminal includes a second live wire terminal and a second neutral wire terminal. The identification circuit includes a first voltage divider module, a second voltage divider module, and a detection and control module.

[0054] The first end of the first voltage divider module is connected to the first live wire, the second end of the first voltage divider module is connected to the first end of the second voltage divider module, and the second end of the second voltage divider module is connected to the first neutral wire.

[0055] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the second end of the first voltage divider module is also connected to the second live wire end. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the second end of the first voltage divider module is also connected to the second neutral wire end.

[0056] The detection and control module is used to identify the access compliance status of the first access terminal and the second access terminal based on the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module. Both ends of the first voltage divider module and both ends of the second voltage divider module are connected to the detection and control module.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, when the first access terminal is an input terminal, the second access terminal is an output terminal; or, when the first access terminal is an output terminal, the second access terminal is an input terminal.

[0058] In this embodiment, the voltage divider module includes resistors (the first voltage divider module includes resistor R1, and the second voltage divider module includes resistor R2). In other embodiments besides those in this application, the voltage divider module may include other devices, such as inductors or capacitors, or combinations of at least two of inductors, capacitors, and resistors.

[0059] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the first voltage divider module is the same as that of the second voltage divider module. In other embodiments, the resistance values ​​of the first voltage divider module and the second voltage divider module are different.

[0060] The detection and control module is also used to detect the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module.

[0061] For example, access compliance status includes access compliance and access non-compliance. Identifying the access compliance status of the first access terminal and the second access terminal may include: identifying access compliance of the first access terminal and the second access terminal, or identifying access non-compliance of the first access terminal and the second access terminal. For example, access compliance of the first access terminal and the second access terminal indicates that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to different voltage sources. Access non-compliance of the first access terminal and the second access terminal indicates that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source.

[0062] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to output an alarm signal if it identifies that the access of the first access terminal and the second access terminal is non-compliant. For example, the alarm signal may indicate that the access of the first access terminal and the second access terminal is non-compliant, or it may indicate that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source.

[0063] In some embodiments, the detection control module can be a module with data processing function. The detection control module can detect the voltage across the first voltage divider module and the voltage across the second voltage divider module, calculate the voltage difference between the first voltage divider module and the second voltage divider module, and identify the access compliance status of the first access terminal and the second access terminal based on the voltage difference between the first voltage divider module and the second voltage divider module.

[0064] The following is Figure 1 The working principle of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device in this application embodiment is illustrated by the following example:

[0065] If the first and second access terminals are connected to different voltage sources, the voltages of the first live wire, the first neutral wire, the second live wire, and the second neutral wire will all be different. Let the voltage of the first live wire be ACout_L, the voltage of the first neutral wire be ACout_N, the voltage of the second live wire be ACin_L, and the voltage of the second neutral wire be ACin_N. Since the second live wire cannot form a loop, the current output from the first live wire flows through resistors R1 and R2 to the first neutral wire. The current will not pass through the second live wire, so the voltage of the second live wire will not affect the current in resistors R1 and R2, and therefore will not affect the voltage across resistors R1 and R2. Therefore, the voltage across the first terminal of resistor R1 is ACout_L, and the voltage across the second terminal of resistor R1 is... The voltage across the first terminal of resistor R2 is The voltage across the second terminal of resistor R2 is ACout_N. Since both resistors R1 and R2 can divide the voltage normally, the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 are both greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Alternatively, the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 is less than the voltage threshold.

[0066] If the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source, then the voltage of the first live wire terminal is the same as the voltage of the second live wire terminal, and the voltage of the first neutral wire terminal is the same as the voltage of the second neutral wire terminal. Taking the voltage of the first live wire terminal and the second live wire terminal as ACout_L, and the voltage of the first neutral wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal as ACout_N as an example, the voltage across resistor R1 is ACout_L, resistor R1 is short-circuited, the voltage difference across resistor R1 is less than the voltage threshold, the voltage difference across resistor R2 is ACout_L-ACout_N, the voltage difference across resistor R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, or the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold.

[0067] The following example uses a first voltage divider module including resistor R1 and a second voltage divider module including resistor R2. Figure 2 The working principle of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device in this application embodiment is illustrated by the following example:

[0068] If the first and second access terminals are connected to different voltage sources, the voltages of the first live wire, the first neutral wire, the second live wire, and the second neutral wire will all be different. Let the voltage of the first live wire be ACout_L, the voltage of the first neutral wire be ACout_N, the voltage of the second live wire be ACin_L, and the voltage of the second neutral wire be ACin_N. Since the second neutral wire cannot form a loop, the current output from the first live wire flows through resistors R1 and R2 to the first neutral wire. The current will not pass through the second neutral wire, so the voltage of the second neutral wire will not affect the current in resistors R1 and R2, and therefore will not affect the voltage across resistors R1 and R2. Therefore, the voltage at the first end of resistor R1 is ACout_L, and the voltage at the second end of resistor R1 is... The voltage across the first terminal of resistor R2 is The voltage across the second terminal of resistor R2 is ACout_N. Since both resistors R1 and R2 can divide the voltage normally, the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 are both greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Alternatively, the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 is less than the voltage threshold.

[0069] If the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source, then the voltage of the first live wire terminal is the same as the voltage of the second live wire terminal, and the voltage of the first neutral wire terminal is the same as the voltage of the second neutral wire terminal. Taking the voltage of the first live wire terminal and the second live wire terminal as ACout_L, and the voltage of the first neutral wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal as ACout_N as an example, the voltage across resistor R2 is ACout_N, resistor R2 is short-circuited, and the voltage difference across resistor R2 is less than the voltage threshold. Alternatively, the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across resistor R1 and the voltage difference across resistor R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold.

[0070] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the first end of the first voltage divider module is connected to the first live wire end, the second end of the first voltage divider module is connected to the first end of the second voltage divider module, the second end of the first voltage divider module is also connected to the second live wire end or the second neutral wire end, and the second end of the second voltage divider module is connected to the first neutral wire end. In this way, the access status of the first access end and the second access end can be identified based on the voltage difference between the two ends of the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference between the two ends of the second voltage divider module. That is, it can identify the non-compliant access phenomenon where both ends of the AC conversion equipment are connected to the power interface of the inverter or both are connected to the power interface of the power grid system, thereby helping to improve the lifespan of the AC conversion equipment.

[0071] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to identify that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source when the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module is less than a voltage threshold and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is greater than or equal to a voltage threshold, or when the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module is greater than or equal to a voltage threshold and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is less than a voltage threshold. Connecting to the same voltage source indicates non-compliant access.

[0072] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to identify different voltage sources connected to the first access terminal and the second access terminal when the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module are both greater than or equal to a voltage threshold, and the connection to different voltage sources indicates that the connection is compliant.

[0073] For example, in addition to using voltage thresholds to identify the access compliance status of the first access terminal and the second access terminal, the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module can also be used to identify the access compliance status of the first access terminal and the second access terminal.

[0074] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to identify that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source when the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is greater than or equal to a voltage threshold, and the connection to the same voltage source indicates that the connection is non-compliant.

[0075] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to identify that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to different voltage sources when the absolute value of the difference between the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is less than a voltage threshold, and the connection to different voltage sources indicates that the connection is compliant.

[0076] For example, the voltage threshold can be a fixed value. For instance, the voltage threshold can be greater than 0V and less than or equal to 20V. For example, the voltage threshold can be 1V, 2V, 5V, 10V, or 20V, etc.

[0077] As another example, the voltage threshold can be determined based on the voltage difference between the voltage connected to the first live wire and the voltage connected to the first neutral wire. For example, if the voltage difference between the voltage connected to the first live wire and the voltage connected to the first neutral wire is 220V, the voltage threshold can be less than or equal to M×220V. M is between 0.01 and 0.2. For example, M is 0.01, 0.1, or 0.2.

[0078] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the access of the first access terminal and the second access terminal is identified as compliant based on the relationship between the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module and the voltage threshold, and based on the relationship between the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module and the voltage threshold, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying whether the access of the first access terminal and the second access terminal is compliant.

[0079] The identification circuit in this embodiment can not only identify whether the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the same voltage source, but also identify whether the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in reverse phase when connected to the same voltage source.

[0080] Specifically, when the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in phase (i.e., not out of phase), the first live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the voltage source, and the second live wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the voltage source; or, the first live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the neutral wire and the live wire of the voltage source, and the second live wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the neutral wire and the live wire of the voltage source. When the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in reverse, the first live wire terminal and the second live wire terminal are respectively connected to the neutral wire and the live wire of the voltage source, and the second live wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the voltage source; or, the first live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the voltage source, and the second live wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal are respectively connected to the neutral wire and the live wire of the voltage source.

[0081] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The detection and control module is also used to identify that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in phase to the voltage source when the second terminal of the first voltage divider module is connected to the second live wire terminal. If the voltage difference between the two ends of the first voltage divider module is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage difference between the two ends of the second voltage divider module is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, then the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in phase to the voltage source. If the voltage difference between the two ends of the first voltage divider module is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold and the voltage difference between the two ends of the second voltage divider module is less than the voltage threshold, then the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in phase to the voltage source.

[0082] The following is Figure 1 The working principle of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device in this application embodiment is illustrated by the following example:

[0083] If the voltage at the second live wire terminal is ACout_L, the voltage at the first live wire terminal is ACout_L, and the voltage at the first neutral wire terminal is ACout_N, then the voltage across R1 is less than the voltage threshold, and the voltage across R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Therefore, based on the fact that the voltage across R1 is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage across R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, it can be identified that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source in positive phase.

[0084] If the voltage at the second live wire terminal is ACout_N, the voltage at the first live wire terminal is ACout_L, and the voltage at the first neutral wire terminal is ACout_N, then the voltage across R2 is less than the voltage threshold, and the voltage across R1 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Therefore, based on the fact that the voltage across R2 is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage across R1 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, it can be identified that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source out of phase.

[0085] Please continue reading. Figure 2The detection and control module is also used to identify that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source out of phase when the second terminal of the first voltage divider module is connected to the second neutral terminal, if the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold; if the voltage difference across the first voltage divider module is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold and the voltage difference across the second voltage divider module is less than the voltage threshold, then the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source in phase.

[0086] The following is Figure 2 The working principle of the identification circuit of the AC conversion device in this application embodiment is illustrated by the following example:

[0087] If the voltage at the second neutral terminal is ACout_L, the voltage at the first live terminal is ACout_L, and the voltage at the first neutral terminal is ACout_N, then the voltage across R1 is less than the voltage threshold, and the voltage across R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Therefore, based on the fact that the voltage across R1 is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage across R2 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, it can be identified that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source out of phase.

[0088] If the voltage at the second neutral terminal is ACout_N, the voltage at the first live terminal is ACout_L, and the voltage at the first neutral terminal is ACout_N, then the voltage across R2 is less than the voltage threshold, and the voltage across R1 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold. Therefore, based on the fact that the voltage across R2 is less than the voltage threshold and the voltage across R1 is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, it can be identified that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected to the voltage source in positive phase.

[0089] In some embodiments, the alarm signal output by the detection control module can also indicate that the first access terminal and the second access terminal are connected in a wrong phase.

[0090] In some embodiments, the detection and control module is further configured to control the first live wire terminal to be connected to the second live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal to be connected to the second neutral wire terminal, provided that the access of the first access terminal and the second access terminal is compliant. Thus, by connecting the first live wire terminal to the second live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal to the second neutral wire terminal, the AC conversion device can transmit electrical energy.

[0091] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to maintain the disconnection between the first live wire and the second live wire and / or the first neutral wire and the second neutral wire in the event of non-compliant access at the first access terminal and the second access terminal. Thus, by disconnecting the first live wire and the second live wire and / or the first neutral wire and the second neutral wire, the AC converter can cut off the power transmission path, avoiding large circulating currents in the main circuit of the AC converter and improving the lifespan of the AC converter.

Figure 3 As shown, this identification circuit is compared to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The difference in this embodiment is that the identification circuit further includes a switching module; the input terminal of the switching module is connected to the second live wire terminal or the second neutral wire terminal, and the output terminal of the switching module is connected to the second terminal of the first voltage divider module. Exemplarily, the control terminal of the switching module is also connected to a detection control module.

[0093] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to control the switching module to turn on when a voltage source is connected to the first access terminal and the second access terminal.

[0094] In some embodiments, the detection control module is further configured to control the switching module to disconnect when the first live wire terminal is connected to the second live wire terminal and the first neutral wire terminal is connected to the second neutral wire terminal.

[0095] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, when the first live wire terminal and the second live wire terminal are connected, and the first neutral wire terminal and the second neutral wire terminal are connected, the control switching module is disconnected, thereby avoiding the influence of the identification circuit of the AC conversion equipment on the power transmitted by the AC conversion equipment.

[0099] For example, the detection control module can output an AC_CK signal, which can be a first-level signal or a second-level signal.

The collector of NPN transistor Q1 is connected to the first control terminal of relay RLY, and the emitter of NPN transistor Q2 is grounded. When a high-level signal is received, the base of NPN transistor Q1 conducts, thereby driving relay RLY to conduct; when a low-level signal is received, it de-converts, thereby driving relay RLY to de-convert.
