Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy system technology, and in particular to a high-power switching power supply device that can operate stably and reliably in a strong static magnetic field environment. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional switching power supplies face severe challenges in static magnetic field environments such as those used in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and research with strong magnets. Static magnetic fields can cause saturation or operating point shifts in the magnetic cores of internal power supply components (such as transformers and inductors), leading to a sharp increase in power supply losses, distorted sampling signals, unstable feedback control, and even equipment damage ("explosion"). While existing technologies have attempted to suppress core saturation through frequency control, their effectiveness is limited for high-power applications, and a comprehensive solution encompassing structural design and system control is lacking, making it difficult to guarantee long-term reliable operation of the power supply in strong static magnetic field environments. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-power switching power supply device for use in static magnetic fields. Through comprehensive source suppression, multi-level shielding and fine management, the reliable operation problem in static magnetic field environment is solved.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a high-power switching power supply device applied to static magnetic fields. The double-nested structure housing is constructed by tightly bonding an outer layer of pure iron plate and an inner layer of high-permeability 1J85 permalloy with conductive silicone grease having a resistivity not exceeding 1 Ω·cm, used for static magnetic field shielding and isolation of the entire device. A locally reinforced shielding metal housing, made of pure iron plate, is disposed within the double-nested structure housing, forming independent shielding chambers for the control module and power module respectively. The symmetrical parallel power module consists of at least two power units using an LLC topology connected in parallel. The power units are symmetrically arranged so that the magnetic fields they generate have opposite polarities, thus canceling the influence of the external static magnetic field from the source. The control module is disposed within the locally reinforced shielding metal housing, used to collect voltage and current signals, and manage the operating state and current sharing of the symmetrical parallel power modules through control drive signals. The opening and gap management module includes magnetically shielded waveguides with a length-to-diameter ratio of 5:1 installed at the device's ventilation holes and cable holes, and magnetically conductive sealing strips filling the shell seams.

[0005] Preferably, the control module includes a CAN communication module, a current sharing adjustment circuit, and an execution circuit, and uses a shunt and optical fiber for the acquisition and transmission of voltage and current signals.

[0006] Preferably, the opening direction of the magnetically shielded waveguide is arranged parallel to the direction of the magnetic field lines of the external static magnetic field.

[0007] Preferably, the magnetic components within the power unit are arranged in a distributed manner and are located away from the wall panels of the double-nested structure housing. The beneficial effects of this invention are: High reliability: Through a "four-level protection" system, it comprehensively resists static magnetic field interference, ensuring stable operation of the power supply in extreme magnetic environments. High power output: Multi-module parallel current sharing technology easily achieves power expansion, meeting the needs of high-power applications. High cost-effectiveness: The double-nested shell structure cleverly combines the magnetic property advantages of two materials, controlling costs while ensuring performance. Intelligent control: Employing fiber optic sampling and digital current sharing control, it boasts high precision, strong anti-interference capabilities, and good system adaptability.

[0011] The markings in the diagram are: 1-Pure iron sheet metal, 2-Conductive silicone grease, 3-Permalloy. Detailed Implementation

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0013] See Figure 1The device of this invention mainly includes: a double-nested structure shell, a locally reinforced shielded metal shell, symmetrical parallel power modules, a control module, and an opening and gap management module. The double-nested structure shell is the outer shell of the device, with an outer layer of pure iron sheet metal and an inner layer of permalloy 3, filled with conductive silicone grease 2 between the layers to form a continuous low magnetic reluctance shield. The locally reinforced shielded metal shell is made of pure iron plate and has separate chambers inside the shell to house the control module and the symmetrical parallel power modules, providing secondary shielding for the sensitive components within. The symmetrical parallel power modules consist of power module one and power module two. Each power module adopts an LLC resonant topology, with its internal transformers and inductors arranged away from the shell walls in a distributed manner. The two power modules are physically symmetrical or mirror-symmetrical, allowing their magnetic fields to cancel each other out during operation. The control module is located in its independent shielded chamber and its core components include a main control chip, a CAN communication interface, a current sharing control circuit, and a drive circuit. It collects load current through a shunt and output voltage through fiber optic isolation. These signals are processed by the main control chip to generate PWM drive signals, controlling the operation of the power module and achieving precise current sharing. The opening and gap management module installs multiple magnetically shielded waveguides at the ventilation openings of the chassis, with their long axis parallel to the direction of the external static magnetic field. All joints between the chassis covers and modules are fitted with magnetic sealing strips.

[0014] like Figure 2 As shown, the control system's workflow is as follows: After the system powers on, the control module acquires the output voltage Vo and output current Io in real time via optical fiber and a shunt. The acquired signals are filtered, amplified, and then compared with a reference signal after tuning calculations. Based on the comparison result and the current sharing algorithm, the main control chip generates a corresponding PWM drive signal. This signal controls the switching transistors in the symmetrical parallel power modules through the drive circuit, achieving stable voltage conversion and power output. Simultaneously, the control module communicates with the host computer or other devices via the CAN bus, reporting operating status, fault information, etc. This closed-loop control system continuously maintains stable operation of the power supply in a 20mT static magnetic field environment.

[0015] The key technical points of this invention are as follows: 1. A high-power switching power supply device and control system for use in static magnetic fields. This device achieves reliable DC voltage output in static magnetic field environments through source suppression, shielding isolation, and auxiliary management using openings and gaps.

[0016] 2. The device comprises a high-power switching power supply and control system for static magnetic fields, consisting of a double-nested shell, a locally reinforced shielded metal shell, an opening and gap management module, a symmetrical parallel power module, and a control module.

[0017] 3. The double-nested shell is made of pure iron plate, permalloy and conductive silicone grease. The double-nested shell combines the advantages of the two materials to achieve a more efficient and economical shell shielding and isolation effect.

[0018] 4. The locally reinforced shielded metal shell is constructed of pure iron plate to create an isolation chamber for locally reinforced shielding of components in the control module and power module that are susceptible to static magnetic field interference, thereby achieving a secondary shielding and isolation effect for the sampling devices in the control module and the magnetic components in the power module.

[0019] 5. The opening and gap management module is composed of a magnetically shielded waveguide and a magnetically conductive sealing strip. By refining the management of openings and gaps, the static magnetic field shielding effect is improved, ensuring the reliable operation of the device.

[0020] 6. The symmetrical parallel power module adopts two LLC topology power modules symmetrically arranged, so that the polarities of adjacent magnetic fields are opposite, which cancels out part of the external magnetic field and suppresses the influence of static magnetic field on the saturation deviation of magnetic core of magnetic components from the source.

[0021] 7. The control module uses a CAN communication module to implement communication functions to complete the acquisition and reporting of electrical signals. The current sharing adjustment circuit and the execution circuit perform action adjustment. The voltage and current acquisition is carried out by a shunt and optical fiber transmission to avoid the distortion of the sampling signal. This realizes the voltage regulation control output of a high-power switching power supply device and control system applied to static magnetic fields.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
