Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of test power supply equipment and motor control equipment, and in particular to a DC-DC adaptive segmented voltage switching control method and system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of motor testing systems, constant voltage source equipment is an indispensable piece of testing equipment. When testing motor electronic control, back electromotive force (EMF) is generated when the motor decelerates or stops. At this time, the power supply has already stopped or failed, and cannot absorb this energy. This energy will raise the voltage at the power supply port. Since the power devices (such as MOSFETs and IGBTs) and output capacitors inside the power supply have maximum withstand voltage values, the high amplitude back EMF will be superimposed on the power supply output voltage, which may momentarily exceed the rated voltage of these devices, causing the power devices to break down, the output capacitors to be damaged, and resulting in permanent power supply failure.

[0003] Furthermore, if the power supply suddenly loses power or behaves abnormally due to back electromotive force (EMF) damage, the controlled motor may be placed in an unexpected free-stop state. In certain precision testing scenarios, this could pose a risk to the mechanical load or the device under test itself, and may also damage other equipment connected to the same line. In addition, the instantaneous changes in back EMF (dV / dt or dI / dt) are large, generating strong high-frequency electromagnetic interference. This not only affects the stability of the power supply's own control circuit, but may also affect other sensitive instruments on the same test bench (such as sensors, data acquisition cards, controllers, etc.) through conduction or radiation, leading to inaccurate measurement data. Meanwhile, in motor and electronic control testing, the power supply, electronic control system, and load are all extremely expensive assets, requiring reliable switching techniques to protect these valuable assets and ensure the reliability of test data.

[0004] Many existing power supply devices choose to connect larger capacity capacitors in parallel at the output to suppress voltage rise. This method results in a large power cabinet, high cost, and can only buffer energy, not dissipate it, meaning the energy may still ultimately threaten the power supply. Another approach is to add an overvoltage protection clamping circuit to the power supply device. When the output voltage exceeds a set safety threshold, an internal clamping switch is immediately triggered, briefly short-circuiting the output to ground or a low voltage to forcibly absorb energy. This method has a complex circuit and is essentially sacrificial protection; frequent triggering can stress the components.

[0005] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent application CN115001294A, entitled "A Cyclic Pulse High-Power Demagnetizing Main Power Supply System," includes an energy dissipation device between the DC / DC step-up / step-down converter and the chopper commutation unit. This device is used to rapidly absorb energy from the large inductive load during the pulse current decrease phase by employing a segmented resistor switching method. However, it fails to consider the possibility of resistor heating due to high voltage and high power, which could lead to safety issues. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to solve the problem of low safety caused by high voltage causing resistor heating in the prior art using resistor switching voltage reduction method.

[0007] This invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution: a DC-DC adaptive segmented voltage switching control method, comprising:

[0008] S1, Set the voltage command value for each segment. , , , , And the corresponding time, Real-time detection of the output voltage across the device under test ; S2, when the output voltage Greater than the switching voltage If the source device malfunctions, the blocking device will perform a switching action and start timing, monitoring the switching current in real time. If the switching current does not exceed the circuit protection point, the blocking execution time will be up to the specified time. Then proceed to step S3; otherwise proceed to step S9. S3, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge Whether it is valid, To set a threshold, if the condition is met, proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S4. S4, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge If the condition is met, the wave blocking execution time has elapsed. Then proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S5. S5, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge If the condition is met, the wave blocking execution time has elapsed. Then proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S6. S6, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge If the condition is met, the wave blocking execution time has elapsed. Then proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S7. S7, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge If the condition is met, the wave blocking execution time has elapsed. Then proceed to step S9; otherwise, proceed to step S8. S8, Sampling Output Voltage ,judge If the condition is met, the wave blocking execution time has elapsed. Then proceed to step S9; otherwise, continue until the condition is met. Then proceed to step S9; S9, Disconnect the switch.

[0009] This invention addresses the issue of resistor heating caused by high voltage and high power, and provides an adaptive segmented voltage switching control method for DC-DC converters. By setting different voltage commands, the constant voltage power supply device samples the output voltage of the device under test in real time, automatically compares it with the set segmented voltages, times the switching time of each voltage segment, and simultaneously detects the current during the switching process. This ensures that the switching circuit can be disconnected in time under abnormally high voltage conditions, automatically switching to reduce the voltage and protecting both the source device and the device under test, thus ensuring high safety.
