Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of DC contactor drive technology, and more specifically to a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of switching electrical device, DC contactors have been widely used in many fields due to their unique performance and advantages. In the new energy field, electric vehicles, charging piles, and solar energy systems all rely on the precise control of DC contactors; in industrial equipment, many key components such as power systems and energy storage systems depend on their stable operation; in the rail transit field, the electrical systems of high-speed transportation vehicles such as high-speed rail and subways also widely use DC contactors; in addition, DC contactors play an indispensable role in special equipment such as aerospace and medical equipment.

[0003] In many high-voltage, high-current applications, to ensure that DC contactors can reliably interrupt current while reducing coil holding power consumption and minimizing system temperature rise, they are typically designed with dual-coil power supply. This dual-coil power supply method has unique characteristics: when the contactor actuates, the coil requires a large instantaneous (tens of milliseconds) starting current, which can range from several amperes to tens of amperes depending on the current rating of the contactor's main contacts and the coil supply voltage. However, once the contactor enters the holding state, its holding current is only 10% to 20% of the starting current.

[0004] Currently, there are two common power supply solutions for the coils of such DC contactors: one is to directly power them with a switching power supply, and the other is to step down the voltage with a transformer and then rectify it before power supply. Both of these power supply methods have some problems that urgently need to be solved in practical applications. When the coil starting current is large, a high-power switching power supply or a high-power transformer is often required to meet this instantaneous current demand. However, after the contactor enters the steady-state holding phase, its current demand is very small, resulting in extremely low power supply utilization, typically only 10% to 20%. Furthermore, the situation becomes even more complex when multiple contactors need to operate simultaneously. To meet the current demand when multiple contactors start simultaneously, multiple high-power switching power supplies or further increases in transformer power may be necessary. This not only significantly increases costs but also eliminates the advantage in size, causing considerable inconvenience for equipment installation and layout.

[0005] More seriously, current mainstream power supplies have a significant drawback: due to the lack of energy storage devices, they may not be able to provide sufficient energy to the contactors to maintain their holding state during short-term power outages or low-voltage ride-throughs. This will cause the contactors to malfunction, potentially leading to serious system problems and posing a significant threat to the stability and reliability of the entire electrical system. Therefore, how to solve these problems with existing DC contactor coil power supply methods, improve power utilization, reduce costs and size, and enhance system stability under abnormal grid conditions has become an urgent technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on the problems mentioned above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support, which solves the problems of low power utilization, high cost, large size, and inability to maintain the contactor holding state when the power grid is abnormal in the existing dual-coil power supply method for DC contactors.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This invention provides a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support, comprising:

[0009] Buck-Boost circuit, current sampling circuit, control system, supercapacitor string, drive switch and contactor coil;

[0010] The Buck-Boost circuit and the current sampling circuit form a current loop, and the current loop and the voltage loop of the Buck-Boost circuit itself form a double closed-loop structure. The double closed-loop structure is used to perform constant current and constant voltage charging on the supercapacitor string.

[0011] When the contactor needs to operate, the control system controls the drive switch to open, causing the supercapacitor string to release the stored high-density charge and provide a large instantaneous current to the contactor coil.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the Buck-Boost circuit can stably output the rated coil supply voltage. Regardless of whether the input power supply voltage is lower or higher than the coil's rated value, it can ensure sufficient coil starting voltage while preventing coil damage due to excessive voltage. Based on this, a constant current output function is introduced through a current sampling circuit and a dual-closed-loop structure, achieving constant current and constant voltage charging of the supercapacitor. Compared to resistor-limited current methods, this charging method is more flexible, has fast charging capabilities, and reduces heat loss. Furthermore, the circuit is small in size and low in cost.

[0013] During operation, the supercapacitor string undergoes constant current-constant voltage charging via a Buck-Boost circuit, while the control system controls the drive switch to supply power to the contactor coil. When the contactor actuates, the control system opens the drive switch, releasing the high-density charge stored in the supercapacitor string to provide a large instantaneous current to the contactor coil, ensuring reliable contactor operation. After actuation, the contactor's charge is maintained by the Buck-Boost circuit.

[0014] The above technical solution allows the contactor coil's starting power to come from a supercapacitor string, eliminating the need for a high-power input power supply. The input power only needs to meet the contactor's holding current, thus achieving a power utilization rate of 90% to 100% and reducing input power supply costs and size. Furthermore, the energy stored in the supercapacitor string can maintain the normal operation of the control system and drive switches during short-term power outages or low-voltage ride-throughs, ensuring uninterrupted power to the contactor coil and maintaining normal contactor operation until the input power supply returns to normal. This effectively avoids system problems caused by short-term power outages or low-voltage ride-throughs.

It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered as a limitation of the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. In the drawings:

[0042] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a DC contactor drive power supply based on supercapacitor transient support includes:

[0045] Buck-Boost circuit, current sampling circuit, control system, supercapacitor string, drive switch and contactor coil;

[0046] The Buck-Boost circuit and the current sampling circuit form a current loop, and the current loop and the voltage loop of the Buck-Boost circuit itself form a double closed-loop structure. The double closed-loop structure is used to perform constant current and constant voltage charging on the supercapacitor string.

[0047] When the contactor needs to operate, the control system controls the drive switch to open, causing the supercapacitor string to release the stored high-density charge and provide a large instantaneous current to the contactor coil.

[0048] It should be noted that, in response to the problems of low power utilization, high cost, large size, and inability to maintain the contactor's holding state when the power grid is abnormal in the existing dual-coil power supply method for DC contactors, a supercapacitor string is added to the DC contactor drive power supply. In scenarios where DC loads such as relays and DC circuit breakers require transient high current, the high power density characteristics of the supercapacitor are used to provide instantaneous current for the DC contactor to start, overcoming the problem of low power utilization of ordinary direct-drive power supplies. Compared with the slow charging and discharging rate and low cycle life of lithium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries, this method is also superior.

[0049] Meanwhile, since supercapacitors have energy storage characteristics, introducing a supercapacitor string into the DC contactor drive power supply can utilize these energy storage characteristics to maintain the normal operation of the control system and contactor when the input power is interrupted for a short time, thus preventing system shutdown.

[0050] In addition, this DC contactor drive power supply incorporates a Buck-Boost circuit. Utilizing Buck-Boost's constant current charging technology, the Buck-Boost circuit addresses input power fluctuations, and the current loop achieves constant current and constant voltage charging of the supercapacitor, resulting in low-cost fast charging and excellent thermal management. It can be used in onboard supercapacitor module products.

[0051] Specifically, the Buck-Boost circuit can stably output the rated coil supply voltage, ensuring sufficient coil startup voltage and preventing coil damage due to excessive voltage, regardless of whether the input power supply voltage is lower or higher than the coil's rated value. Building upon this, a constant current output function is introduced through a current sampling circuit and a dual-closed-loop structure, enabling constant current and constant voltage charging of the supercapacitor. Compared to resistor-limited current methods, this charging method is more flexible, features fast charging, and reduces heat loss, while also being smaller and less expensive.

[0052] During operation, the supercapacitor string undergoes constant current and constant voltage charging via a Buck-Boost circuit, while the control system controls the drive switch to supply power to the contactor coil. When the contactor actuates, the control system opens the drive switch, releasing the high-density charge stored in the supercapacitor string to provide a large instantaneous current to the contactor coil, ensuring reliable contactor operation. After actuation, the contactor's charge is maintained by the Buck-Boost circuit. Notably, constant current and constant voltage charging eliminates the need for dedicated chips with current feedback; ordinary DC-DC control chips can achieve constant current charging, offering greater selectivity and fewer limitations.

[0053] This technical solution allows the contactor coil's starting power to come from a supercapacitor string, eliminating the need for a high-power input power supply. The input power only needs to meet the contactor's holding current, thus achieving a power utilization rate of 90% to 100% and reducing input power supply costs and size. Furthermore, the energy stored in the supercapacitor string can maintain the normal operation of the control system and drive switches during short-term power outages or low-voltage ride-throughs, ensuring uninterrupted power to the contactor coil and maintaining normal contactor operation until the input power is restored. This effectively avoids system problems caused by short-term power outages or low-voltage ride-throughs.

[0068] It should be noted that the negative terminal of the supercapacitor string is connected to the Buck-Boost circuit through the current sensing resistor R88, and is also directly connected to the current sampling circuit.

[0069] The input and output of the supercapacitor string are connected in parallel with the output of the Buck-Boost circuit, and there is no undervoltage selection switch. When the input power is on, the Buck-Boost circuit provides energy to the load. When the input power is off, it automatically switches to the supercapacitor to provide energy to the load to maintain normal system operation.

[0070] In one optional embodiment, the drive switch includes: switch JK1, diode D7, diode D6, inductor L6, MOSFET Q3, resistor R25, resistor R22, MOSFET Q6, resistor R113, and resistor R21.

[0072] In one optional embodiment, the switch JK1 is of model number HF115F / 005-1HS3AF.

[0073] In one optional embodiment, the DC contactor drive power supply further includes a rectifier circuit, which receives an external power supply, rectifies the external power supply, and inputs the rectified external power supply to the Buck-Boost circuit.

[0074] In one optional embodiment, the rectifier circuit includes: diodes D15, D16, D17, D18, D19, D20, and polarized capacitor E7.

[0079] In this embodiment, the DC contactor drive power supply is applied to a DC contactor power load with a coil specification of DC24V, a starting current of 13.5A, and a holding current of 0.45A. The external power supply is first input to a three-phase bridge rectifier circuit, which outputs a DC15V to 50V voltage after rectification. This voltage is then input to a Buck-Boost circuit, which converts the voltage to DC24V and outputs it after DC-DC conversion. A current sensing resistor is placed at the negative terminal of the Buck-Boost circuit output. The current sampling circuit samples and amplifies the current from the current sensing resistor through an operational amplifier, and sends the sampled voltage to the feedback terminal of the power chip. The operational amplifier parameters are set to achieve a constant current of 1A for charging the supercapacitor series. The Buck-Boost circuit output supplies power to the control system. When the contactor operates, the control system MCU instructs the drive switch intermediate relay to close, releasing the supercapacitor series charge to the contactor coil, allowing it to obtain a 13.5A instantaneous large current to complete the contactor's engagement. After the contactor coil reaches a steady state, it maintains a current of 0.45A. The 1A constant current capability of the Buck-Boost circuit ensures normal contactor engagement. When the power input is momentarily interrupted, the amount of electricity stored in the supercapacitor string can maintain the normal operation of the control system and drive switches, ensure that the contactor coil is not energized, and maintain the normal operation of the contactor until the input power is restored.
