[0050] In order to make the personnel in the art better understand the present application scheme, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application provides a photovoltaic panel ground insulation impedance detection circuit. Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a photovoltaic panel ground insulation impedance detection circuit. Figure 1 The ground insulation impedance comprises a first insulation impedance Rx and a second insulation impedance Ry, and the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry are connected in series between the first output end and the second output end of the photovoltaic panel; the connection point of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry is connected to a first grounding point PE1. The photovoltaic panel ground insulation impedance detection circuit comprises a first switch K1, a voltage division module 1 and a voltage sampling module 4. The first end of the first switch K1 is connected to the connection point of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry; the second end of the first switch K1 is connected to a second grounding point PE2. The first end of the voltage division module 1 is connected to the first output end of the photovoltaic panel, the second end of the voltage division module 1 is connected to the second output end of the photovoltaic panel, and the third end of the voltage division module 1 is connected to the second end of the first switch K1; the voltage division module 1 at least comprises a resistance voltage division unit, which divides the voltage of the first end and the second end of the voltage division module and outputs through the third end of the voltage division module 1. The voltage sampling module 4 is used for detecting the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel and detecting the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module; according to the detected voltage change, whether the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are common ground is judged.

[0053] When the first output end and the second output end of the photovoltaic panel are connected to the photovoltaic panel ground insulation impedance detection circuit, the electric energy output by the photovoltaic panel can be transmitted to the ground insulation impedance (including the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry) and the voltage division module 1, and then the voltage is generated on the ground insulation impedance and the resistance voltage division unit of the voltage division module 1. By controlling the closing or turning off of the first switch K1, the voltage change between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 is detected, and the grounding effect of the ground insulation impedance can be judged.

[0054] Specifically, when the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are not common ground, it is equivalent to that the voltages of the grounding ends connected by the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are different. When the first switch K1 is closed, the first end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 are connected in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx, and the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 are connected in parallel with the second insulation impedance Ry. At this time, the voltage sampling module 4 can detect the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1, and the voltage is determined by the first insulation impedance Rx, the second insulation impedance Ry and the resistance value of the resistance voltage division unit in the voltage division module.

[0055] Exemplarily, the voltage sampling module 4 can comprise a first voltage sampling unit and a second voltage sampling unit, the first voltage sampling unit is connected between the first output end and the second output end of the photovoltaic panel, and is used for detecting the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel, and the second voltage sampling unit is connected between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module, and is used for detecting the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module.

[0056] When the first switch K1 is off, the parallel relationship between the voltage dividing module 1 and the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry is disconnected, and the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is not associated with the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry. At this time, the voltage sampling module 4 can detect the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1, which is only determined by the resistance value of the resistance voltage dividing unit in the voltage dividing module. Obviously, the detected voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is different in the closed and off states of the first switch K1.

[0057] When the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are common ground, that is, the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 have the same voltage reference point, when the first switch K1 is closed, the first end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 are in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx, and the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 are in parallel with the second insulation impedance Ry. When the first switch K1 is off, because the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are common ground, the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are connected through an external ground line, the first end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 are in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx, and the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 are in parallel with the second insulation impedance Ry. At this time, after the first switch K1 is controlled to be closed or off, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 remains unchanged.

[0058] Therefore, by controlling the closing or off of the first switch K1 and detecting the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module, if the voltages before and after are different, it can be judged that the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are not common ground.

[0059] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can realize the detection of whether the first grounding point and the second grounding point are common ground by setting the first switch and the voltage dividing module, and detecting the voltage change between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module in the closed and off states of the first switch, and further realize the judgment of whether the ground insulation impedance is reliably grounded. The application judges whether the first grounding point and the second grounding point are common ground by voltage, is not affected by the external environment, has high accuracy, and effectively avoids the safety hazards caused by the non-connection or poor contact of the ground wire.

[0060] Figure 2 Another structure diagram of a detection circuit of an insulation impedance of a photovoltaic panel to ground is provided in the embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiments, the resistance voltage dividing unit comprises: a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are connected in series between the first output end and the second output end of the photovoltaic panel, and a connection point of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 is connected to the second grounding point; and the voltage sampling module is configured to detect a voltage of the second resistor R2.

[0061] In the above embodiments, the voltage sampling module is not shown in the subsequent drawings for the purpose of making the drawings clearer and simpler. Figure 2

[0062] When the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are not grounded in common, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0063] ;

[0064] In the above embodiments, the voltage sampling module is not shown in the subsequent drawings for the purpose of making the drawings clearer and simpler.

[0065] When the first switch K1 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0066] ;

[0067] In the above embodiments, the voltage sampling module is not shown in the subsequent drawings for the purpose of making the drawings clearer and simpler.

[0068] When the first grounding point PE1 and the second grounding point PE2 are not grounded in common, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0069] ;

[0070] When the first switch K1 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0071] ;

[0072] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can realize the detection of whether the first grounding point and the second grounding point are grounded in common by controlling the closing or turning off of the first switch and detecting the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module, and the detection process is simple and the detection precision is high.

[0073] ​On the basis of each of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage dividing module further comprises: a switch switching unit, the switch switching unit being configured to control a resistance connection relationship in the resistance voltage dividing unit; and the resistance values of the first insulation impedance and the second insulation impedance are calculated according to the voltage value detected by the voltage sampling module.

[0074] Figure 3 Another structure schematic diagram of the detection circuit for the insulation impedance of the photovoltaic panel to the ground is provided in the embodiments of the present application. Refer to Figure 3 On the basis of each of the above embodiments, optionally, the switch switching unit comprises: a fourth switch K4, and the resistance voltage dividing unit comprises: a third resistance R3, a fifth resistance R5 and a sixth resistance R6. The first end of the third resistance R3 is connected with the first output end of the photovoltaic panel, the second end of the third resistance R3 is connected with the first end of the fourth switch K4, the second end of the fourth switch K4 is connected with the first end of the fifth resistance R5, the third end of the fourth switch K4 is connected with the first end of the sixth resistance R6; the second end of the fifth resistance R5 is connected with the second end of the sixth resistance R6, and the second end of the fifth resistance R5 is also connected with the second output end of the photovoltaic panel; the second end of the fourth switch K4 is a normally closed port, and the third end of the fourth switch is a normally open port. The switch switching unit is configured to control the closing or turning off of the fourth switch, so as to control the voltage division of the resistance voltage dividing unit.

[0075] Wherein, the fourth switch K4 is in the off state when not controlled by the switch switching unit, and the first end and the second end of the fourth switch K4 are connected. When the switch switching unit controls the fourth switch K4 to be closed, the first end and the third end of the fourth switch K4 are connected.

[0076] Therefore, the closing state of the first switch K1 is maintained, and when the fourth switch K4 is turned off, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0077] ;

[0078] Therefore, when the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0079] ;

[0080] Wherein, R3 is the resistance value of the third resistance, R5 is the resistance value of the fifth resistance, and R6 is the resistance value of the sixth resistance.

[0081] In the above two formulas, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module, the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel, the resistance value of the third resistance R3, the resistance value of the fifth resistance R5 and the resistance value of the sixth resistance R6 are all known. Therefore, the resistance values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry can be calculated by combining the above two formulas.

[0082] Figure 4 Another structure diagram of the detection circuit for the ground insulation impedance of the photovoltaic panel is provided for the embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the resistance voltage dividing unit further comprises a fourth resistor R4, and the switch switching unit further comprises a second switch K2 and a third switch K3. The first end of the second switch K2 is connected with the first output end of the photovoltaic panel, the second end of the second switch K2 is connected with the third end of the third switch K3 through a second line, the third end of the second switch K2 is connected with the second end of the third switch K3 through a first line 11, the first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second line 12, and the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the first line 11; the second end of the third resistor R3 is connected with the second end of the fourth resistor R4; the second end of the second switch K2 is a normally closed port, and the third end of the second switch K3 is a normally open port. The first end of the third switch K3 is connected with the first end of the voltage boosting module 2, the second end of the third switch K3 is a normally closed port, and the third end of the third switch K3 is a normally open port. The switch switching unit is used for controlling the closing or turning off of the second switch K2, the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4, so as to control the voltage division of the resistance voltage dividing unit.

[0083] When the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are turned off and the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0084] ;

[0085] When the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are turned off and the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0086] ;

[0087] When the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are turned off and the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0088] ;

[0089] When the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are turned off and the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0090] ;

[0091] Wherein, R4 is the resistance value of the fourth resistor.

[0092] When the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are turned off and the fourth switch K4 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module 1 is:

[0093] ;

[0094] When the second switch K2 and the fourth switch K4 are closed and the third switch K3 is turned off, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 is:

[0095] ;

[0096] When the second switch K2 and the fourth switch K4 are turned off and the third switch K3 is closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 is:

[0097] ;

[0098] When the second switch K2 is turned off and the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 are closed, the voltage between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module 1 is:

[0099] ;

[0100] From the above results, it can be seen that the second switch K2, the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 can obtain the voltage value between the second end and the third end of the different voltage division modules in 8 different combination states. The values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry can be calculated by establishing a binary linear equation system in any two groups of states.

[0101] The detection results of the switch states of the second switch K2, the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 and the voltage values between the second end and the third end of the voltage division module are shown in the following table:

[0102] Table 1

[0103]

[0104] In order to simplify the calculation process, the third resistor R3 and the sixth resistor R6 can be set to the same resistance value, and the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 can be set to the same resistance value. In theory, there are C(8, 2)=28 combinations, but according to the above formula, in practice, there are four groups of voltage values that are the same, so there are also six groups of sampling data of the voltage sampling module that are the same in the calculation process. The number of combinations is C(4, 2)=6. By arbitrarily selecting one group of data, the resistance values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry can be calculated.

[0105] In order to ensure the calculation accuracy, a group of data with relatively large voltage value difference is selected for calculation, so that the resistance values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry can be calculated more accurately.

[0106] In the actual setting process of the resistance voltage dividing unit, to avoid the voltage value between the second end and the third end of the voltage dividing module being too close, the resistance values of any two resistors can be set to be the same and much greater or much smaller than the resistance values of the other two resistors. For example, the third resistor R3 and the sixth resistor R6 are set to have the same resistance value, and the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 are set to have the same resistance value. Moreover, the resistance value of the third resistor R3 is much greater than the resistance value of the fourth resistor R4.

[0107] In the prior art, when the photovoltaic panel is connected with the detection circuit of the photovoltaic panel-to-ground insulation impedance, if the polarity of the photovoltaic panel is reversed, an excessively large short-circuit current can directly break the boost module, and even cause damage to the photovoltaic panel.

[0108] Since the second end of the second switch K2 is a normally closed port and is connected to the second line 12, and the second end of the third switch K3 is a normally closed port and is connected to the first line 11, even if the photovoltaic panel is reversely connected to the circuit, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are in a disconnected state, and the boost module does not form a power supply loop, thereby forming reverse connection protection for the photovoltaic panel and ensuring the safe operation of the detection circuit of the photovoltaic panel-to-ground insulation impedance. At this time, the positive and negative values of the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel can be detected to determine whether the polarity of the photovoltaic panel is reversed.

[0109] When the boost module, the photovoltaic panel or other components fail, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 can also be controlled to be turned off, thereby realizing power-off protection for the output of the photovoltaic panel and realizing an emergency power-off protection function, which avoids secondary damage to the photovoltaic panel due to the failure to timely disconnect the circuit after an abnormal fault occurs, thereby preventing the photovoltaic panel from being damaged.

[0111] Figure 6 Another structure diagram of the detection circuit of the photovoltaic panel-to-ground insulation impedance provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided. Figure 6Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the detection circuit for the photovoltaic panel's insulation impedance to ground further includes an impedance limiting unit 3. The impedance limiting unit 3 is connected in parallel with the insulation impedance to ground, and the impedance limiting unit 3 is also connected to the second grounding point; the impedance limiting unit 3 is used to limit the impedance value of the insulation impedance to ground, so as to improve the voltage value detected by the voltage sampling module.

[0112] To avoid detection errors caused by excessively high or low resistance values ​​of the first insulation impedance Rx or the second insulation impedance Ry, an impedance limiting unit 3 can be connected in parallel across the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry. The impedance limiting unit 3 has a fixed resistance value, which can be in the megohm range. After being connected in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry, even if the resistance values ​​of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry are very high, the voltage between the second and third terminals of the voltage divider module 1 will not be too low, or the difference between two voltage values ​​will be too small, thus preventing errors in the calculation of the resistance values ​​of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry.

[0113] Continue to refer to Figure 6 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the impedance limiting unit 3 includes a seventh resistor R7 and an eighth resistor R8. The resistance values ​​of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry are both on the first order of magnitude, and the resistance values ​​of the seventh resistor R7 and the eighth resistor R8 are both on the second order of magnitude; the first order of magnitude and the second order of magnitude are of the same order of magnitude; the first end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the first end of the first insulation impedance Rx, the second end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the first end of the eighth resistor R8, the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the second end of the second insulation impedance Ry, and the second end of the seventh resistor R7 is also connected to the second grounding point.

[0114] For example, both the first and second orders of magnitude can be at the megaohm level, such as one megaohm, two megaohms, three megaohms, four megaohms, ..., ten megaohms.
