然而,在实际工作过程中,当开关频率偏离谐振频率工况时,LLC谐振变换器的电压增益曲线变化趋于平缓,电压动态调节性能大幅衰减,使得LLC谐振变换器有效电压可调区间显著收窄,难以实现大范围抬升输出电压,无法适配超宽电压充电机的多工况、大范围电压输出应用场景
[0014]The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: When the voltage-boosting LLC resonant converter is working, the control chip first coordinates the DC power supply to power the bus voltage regulation circuit. The bus voltage regulation circuit includes a bus drive branch, a bus capacitor branch, and a bus pre-charge regulation branch. After the bus drive branch is powered on, combined with the synergistic effect of the bus capacitor branch composed of the first and second capacitors and the bus pre-charge regulation branch, dynamic charging and stable regulation of the bus capacitor branch are achieved, avoiding the inrush current generated by the direct series connection of the first and second capacitors at startup, which could damage the devices. Specifically, the control chip detects the DC power supply output voltage, the voltage at the end of the first capacitor, and the voltage at the end of the second capacitor in real time, and calculates the difference between the two and the DC power supply output voltage. By comparing it with a preset voltage difference threshold, the charging state of the first and second capacitors is determined. When the voltage difference between the first and second capacitors and the DC power supply output voltage is less than a preset voltage difference threshold, the control chip controls the bus pre-charge regulation branch to enter the first state, connecting the first and second capacitors in series, and the DC power supply stops charging. Otherwise, it enters the second state, connecting the first and second capacitors in parallel, continuing charging until the voltage difference is less than the preset voltage difference threshold, at which point it switches to series connection. This process ensures stable regulation of the bus DC voltage corresponding to the first and second capacitors, thus forming a bus DC voltage reference of the sum of the voltages at the terminals of the first and second capacitors within the full-bridge power inverter circuit. After the voltages at the terminals of the first and second capacitors stabilize, the control chip calculates the output voltage required by the downstream load and selectively controls the on/off state of the bus drive branch to change the connection method of the first and second capacitors and their connection relationship with the DC power supply, thereby flexibly adjusting the bus DC voltage applied to the full-bridge power inverter circuit. Under the action of the PWM drive signal output by the control chip, the full-bridge power inverter circuit can convert the bus DC voltage into an AC square wave voltage and send it to the LLC resonant transformer circuit. The LLC resonant transformer circuit resonates and boosts the AC square wave voltage. This is achieved by adjusting the switching frequency of the full-bridge power inverter circuit to raise or lower the AC square wave voltage. Simultaneously, it provides electrical isolation between the input and output sides of the LLC resonant transformer circuit. This eliminates excessive reliance on frequency converter regulation, converting the AC square wave voltage into a high-frequency AC output. This avoids the problems of a flat voltage gain curve and narrow adjustable range caused by the switching frequency deviating from the resonant point in traditional solutions. The rectifier and filter output circuit rectifies and smooths this high-frequency AC power, ultimately converting it into a smooth DC output. Throughout this process, by adjusting the connection method of the bus voltage regulation circuit according to the output voltage required by the downstream load, the DC bus voltage input to the full-bridge power inverter circuit is actively raised or lowered, thereby adjusting the input voltage value of the LLC resonant transformer circuit. This achieves efficient output voltage boosting over a wide range, meeting the voltage output requirements of ultra-wide voltage chargers under various operating conditions, thus realizing an ultra-wide voltage regulation process.

[0002] In the fields of wide-voltage charging and new energy power conversion, LLC resonant converters, as isolated DC / DC power conversion devices, mainly rely on the resonant cavity to achieve efficient conversion of primary-side AC power to secondary-side DC power.

[0019] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the topology of the bus voltage regulation circuit. The bus voltage regulation circuit 2 includes a bus drive branch 21, a bus capacitor branch 22, and a bus pre-charge regulation branch 23; the bus drive branch 21 is electrically connected to the DC power supply 1; the bus capacitor branch 22 includes a first capacitor. and the second capacitor First capacitor With the second capacitor Electrical connection, first capacitor and the second capacitor It is also electrically connected to the bus drive branch 21; one end of the bus precharge control branch 23 is connected to the bus drive branch 21, and the other end is connected to the second capacitor.

[0020] In this example, DC power supply 1 continuously outputs an initial DC current of a preset amplitude, which provides power input to the bus voltage regulation circuit 2. The initial DC current flows into the bus capacitor branch 22 through the bus drive branch 21, enabling the first capacitor to achieve... With the second capacitor The charging process; on the other hand, it provides stable auxiliary power to the control chip. After the control chip is powered on, it samples the DC power supply output voltage and the first capacitor throughout the entire process. Terminal voltage, second capacitor The terminal voltage is determined by a preset differential voltage threshold within the control chip, which dynamically controls the operating state of the bus drive branch 21 and the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 to realize the first capacitor With the second capacitor The series and parallel states are dynamically switched, that is, the output voltage of the DC power supply and the first capacitor are calculated separately. Terminal voltage and second capacitor The voltage difference between the two terminals is compared with a preset voltage difference threshold. When the DC power supply output voltage is equal to that of the first capacitor... The voltage difference between the terminals is less than a preset voltage difference threshold, and the DC power supply output voltage is less than that of the second capacitor. The voltage difference between the terminals is also less than the preset voltage difference threshold, i.e., the first capacitor With the second capacitor When fully charged, DC power supply 1 stops supplying power to the first capacitor. With the second capacitor During charging, the control chip outputs a high-level control signal to control the bus pre-charge control branch 23 to be in the first state, thus bypassing the bus pre-charge control branch 23. In other words, the first state is when the bus pre-charge control branch 23 is bypassed. At this time, the first capacitor... With the second capacitor Series connection, first capacitor With the second capacitor Both terminal voltages are stabilized at half the DC power supply output voltage, providing a stable bus DC voltage foundation for the subsequent low-voltage range output of the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4; when the DC power supply output voltage is equal to that of the first capacitor... The voltage difference between the terminals is greater than or equal to a preset voltage difference threshold, or the DC power supply output voltage is greater than or equal to the voltage difference between the terminals and the second capacitor. The voltage difference between the terminals is greater than or equal to a preset voltage difference threshold, i.e., the first capacitor Or the second capacitor If not fully charged, determine the first capacitor. Or the second capacitor When the voltage drops and energy storage is insufficient, failing to reach the steady-state operating standard, the control chip outputs a low-level regulation signal to control the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 to be in the second state. That is, in the second state, the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 is connected to the circuit. At this time, the first capacitor... With the second capacitor In parallel, DC power supply 1, through bus drive branch 21 and bus pre-charge control branch 23, supplies power to the first capacitor. With the second capacitor Perform current-limited charging to slowly replenish the first capacitor. With the second capacitor Energy storage suppresses instantaneous inrush currents during power-on and voltage drop, protecting the components of bus capacitor branch 22 and subsequent full-bridge power inverter circuit 3, thereby ensuring the safety of the first capacitor. With the second capacitor Both terminal voltages are stable at the DC power supply output voltage. The bus pre-charge control branch 23 is in either the first or second state, and the first capacitor... Terminal voltage and second capacitor After the terminal voltage is fully charged and stabilized, the control chip uses the first capacitor... Terminal voltage and second capacitor The sum of the terminal voltages is used to calculate the output voltage required by the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4, which is also the voltage required by the first capacitor.

Based on the maximum conversion ratio and the DC power supply output voltage, the maximum reference output voltage of the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4 is calculated. The calculated output voltage is compared with the maximum reference output voltage. Based on the comparison result, the control chip controls the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 to be in either the first or second state. That is, when the output voltage is less than the maximum reference output voltage, the first capacitor... Terminal voltage and second capacitor The terminal voltage needs to be stabilized at half of the DC power supply output voltage, and the control chip controls the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 to be in the first state; while when the output voltage is greater than or equal to the maximum reference output voltage, the first capacitor... Terminal voltage and second capacitor The terminal voltage needs to be stabilized at the DC power supply output voltage. The control chip controls the bus pre-charge regulation branch 23 to be in the second state. At the same time, the control chip controls the on / off state of the switching transistor in the bus drive branch 21 to change the first capacitor. With the second capacitor The connection method (series or parallel) and its connection relationship with DC power supply 1 are used to flexibly adjust the bus DC voltage applied to the full-bridge power inverter circuit 3.
[0021] The full-bridge power inverter circuit 3 receives the stabilized DC bus voltage from the bus voltage regulation circuit 2 and, under the action of the PWM drive signal output by the control chip, inverts the DC bus voltage into an AC square wave voltage, which is then output to the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. The AC square wave voltage is resonantly boosted by the full-bridge power inverter circuit 3 in conjunction with the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. Specifically, during the resonant boosting process, the switching frequency of the switching transistors within the full-bridge power inverter circuit 3 is adjusted by the control chip to boost or reduce the AC square wave voltage, thereby changing the voltage amplitude of the AC square wave voltage on the input side of the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. This allows for the resonant boosting of the output voltage to a high-frequency AC power within the required output voltage range, while simultaneously achieving electrical isolation between the input and output sides of the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. The converted high-frequency AC power is then rectified and smoothed by the rectifier and filter output circuit 5, ultimately converting it into stable DC power to supply the downstream load.

With the second capacitor Once charging and energy storage are complete, the control chip outputs a high-level control signal to put the bus pre-charge control branch 23 into its first state, thus bypassing the bus pre-charge control branch 23 and stopping the DC power supply 1 from supplying power to the first capacitor. With the second capacitor Charging, at this time the first capacitor With the second capacitor Series connection, first capacitor Terminal voltage and second capacitor The terminal voltages are all stable at half of the DC power supply output voltage. The control chip collects the data from the first capacitor after stabilization. Terminal voltage and second capacitor The sum of the terminal voltages is used to calculate the required output voltage of the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. This required output voltage is then compared with the maximum reference output voltage corresponding to the LLC resonant transformer circuit 4. When the required output voltage is less than the maximum reference output voltage, the circuit is adapted to a low-voltage resonant condition, and is determined to be in the first resonant boost state.
