Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a single-stage resonant AC-DC converter device with an integrated Buck-boost unit, which can be applied to AC-DC power conversion fields such as data center server power supplies, on-board chargers, charging piles, and adapters, and belongs to the field of switching power supply technology. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the power electronics industry, switching converters have been increasingly widely used, and high power density and high efficiency have become industry trends. Among them, AC-DC converters are widely used in adapters, on-board chargers and charging piles, data center server power supplies, and other fields.
[0003] Currently, mainstream AC-DC converters are mainly divided into two categories: two-stage architecture and single-stage architecture. A two-stage AC-DC converter consists of a front-stage power factor correction circuit and a rear-stage isolated DC-DC converter. The front-stage circuit corrects the power factor, reduces grid harmonic pollution, and outputs a stable DC bus voltage, while the rear-stage circuit provides electrical isolation and output voltage regulation. This architecture allows for independent optimization of the two stages, achieving high efficiency and power factor. However, it suffers from a large number of power devices and energy storage components, resulting in high circuit cost and large size, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-power-density applications.
[0004] like Figure 1 The two-stage architecture shown includes a front-end power factor correction circuit and a rear-end isolated DC-DC converter. The power factor correction circuit primarily corrects the power factor of the input current, reducing harmonic pollution to the power grid and generating a more stable DC bus voltage. The isolated DC-DC converter provides electrical isolation and output voltage regulation. This two-stage architecture allows for separate optimization of the two circuits, achieving higher efficiency and power factor. However, the two-stage circuitry involves more power devices and energy storage components, resulting in higher circuit cost and size.
[0005] Single-stage AC-DC converters integrate power factor correction and DC-DC conversion functions, reducing the number of power devices and lowering circuit cost and size, making them the development direction for high power density converters. Existing single-stage AC-DC converters mostly employ an LLC resonant converter topology, with a small-value capacitor connected in parallel at the output of the input rectifier to directly input the rectified sinusoidal half-wave voltage into the LLC resonant converter, simultaneously achieving power factor correction and voltage regulation. However, this topology has an inherent contradiction between gain and resonant cavity current: near the zero-crossing point of the sinusoidal half-wave voltage, a near-infinite voltage gain is required. To achieve this gain, the transformer's magnetizing inductance must be reduced, directly causing a significant increase in the resonant cavity current; simultaneously, the frequency range of the switching transistors needs to be significantly widened, making it difficult to improve converter efficiency.
[0006] like Figure 2 The single-stage AC-DC converter structure shown can reduce the number of power devices, thereby reducing circuit cost and size. A small-value capacitor is connected in parallel at the output of the input rectifier. The AC input voltage is rectified by the input rectifier to generate a sinusoidal half-wave voltage. The subsequent DC-DC converter often uses an LLC resonant converter with soft-switching characteristics to convert the sinusoidal half-wave voltage into a DC output voltage, while simultaneously achieving power factor correction of the AC input. However, there is a certain trade-off between the gain range of the LLC resonant converter and the resonant cavity current. Especially near the zero-crossing point of the sinusoidal half-wave voltage, a near-infinite voltage gain is required. To achieve this voltage gain, the magnetizing inductance of the transformer must be reduced sufficiently, resulting in an increase in the resonant cavity current. Furthermore, a very wide frequency range is required, making it difficult to improve the converter efficiency.
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues with LLC single-stage converters, the inventor's prior patent ZL202511334461.7 discloses a single-stage AC-DC converter with an integrated Boost unit. This Boost circuit increases the equivalent voltage across the resonant cavity, reducing the resonant cavity current and narrowing the frequency variation range of the switching transistors. However, in this topology, the capacitor voltage of the Boost circuit is higher than the rectifier bridge output voltage. During the freewheeling phase of the switching transistors, the energy of the Boost capacitor flows back to the filter capacitor after the rectifier bridge, preventing the filter capacitor voltage from dropping to zero near the zero-crossing of the input voltage. This results in a significant decrease in the converter's power factor (PF) and a substantial increase in total harmonic distortion (THD). This problem is even more pronounced under light load conditions, severely impacting the converter's grid adaptability.
[0008] In summary, existing AC-DC converters all suffer from technical defects: two-stage structures are complex, costly, and bulky; traditional single-stage LLC converters have large resonant cavity currents, wide switching frequency ranges, and low efficiency; and improved single-stage converters with integrated Boost cells suffer from energy backflow problems, resulting in low power factor and high THD. Currently, no single-stage AC-DC converter can simultaneously achieve low resonant cavity current, high power factor, low THD, and a narrow switching frequency range, making this a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

This achieves the technical goals of low resonant cavity current, high power factor, low THD, and narrow switching frequency range under a single-stage architecture, while simplifying the control strategy and improving the converter's efficiency and adaptability to different operating conditions.
