When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0045] With the rapid development of industrial technology, the demand for high-power inverters, grid-connected inverters and energy storage converters is growing. IGBT is the core component of the above equipment, and high-performance IGBT drive circuits will improve the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0046] Currently, the commonly used IGBT drive circuit is composed of an IGBT drive chip plus a push-pull circuit. However, when multiple complete machines are running in parallel, the IGBT drive circuit relies on the delay of the drive chip and the IGBT itself. It is difficult to flexibly adjust the turn-on and turn-off delays of the IGBT. There are problems such as low drive consistency and poor parallel current sharing. In addition, it cannot be used in parallel with different drive chips.

[0047] Based on this, the present application provides a driving circuit of a power tube. In one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the driving circuit includes a driving signal output circuit 10, a switch control circuit 20, and a driving control circuit 30;

[0048] The driving signal output circuit 10 is used to output a driving signal when receiving a wave signal;

[0049] The switch control circuit 20 is connected to the drive signal output circuit 10, and the switch control circuit 20 is used to output a switch control signal when receiving the drive signal;

[0050] The drive control circuit 30 is connected to the switch control circuit 20 and the power tube respectively. The switch control circuit 30 is used to control the power tube to turn on or off when receiving a switch control signal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drive signal output circuit 10 can be connected to an external controller, and the controller sends a wave signal to the drive signal output circuit 10. The drive signal output circuit 10 sends a drive signal to the switch control circuit 20 according to the received wave signal. The switch control circuit 20 then sends a switch control signal to the drive control circuit 30 according to the received drive signal. The drive control circuit 30 can control the power tube to be turned on or off according to the switch control signal. It should be noted that the power tube refers to a device such as a triode, a MOS tube, an IGBT, etc. for realizing a switch function. In this embodiment, the power tube is an IGBT, that is, the third switch tube Q3. Compared with the existing IGBT drive chip plus a push-pull circuit to form an IGBT drive circuit, the present application can flexibly adjust the on-off delay of the power tube by adjusting the circuit parameters of the switch control circuit 20, so that in the case of multiple high-power complete machines running in parallel, its drive consistency is high, and at the same time, the control accuracy of the parallel current sharing is improved, and the stability of the parallel machine is enhanced. It can also be used in parallel with different drive chips, and the flexibility is greatly improved.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , the switch control circuit 20 includes a first switch control circuit 21, the drive signal includes a first drive signal, and the switch control signal includes a first switch control signal;

[0053] The first switch control circuit 21 is used to output the first switch control signal to the drive control circuit 30 when receiving the first drive signal, so that the drive control circuit 30 controls the power tube to be turned on.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first switch control circuit 21 can be used to output the first switch control signal to the drive control circuit 30 when receiving the first drive signal, so as to instruct the drive control circuit 30 to control the power tube to turn on, and output the shutdown signal to the drive control circuit 30 when not receiving the first drive signal, and the drive control circuit 30 can control the power tube to remain in the shutdown state when receiving the shutdown signal. Compared with the existing IGBT drive circuit, the present application can flexibly adjust the on-off delay of the power tube by adjusting the circuit parameters of the first switch control circuit 21, thereby achieving high drive consistency in high-power parallel operation.

[0055] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the first switch control circuit 21 includes a second chip U2, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a first diode D1 and a fourth capacitor C4;

[0056] The first end of the second resistor R2 and the first end of the third resistor R3 are respectively connected to the drive signal output circuit 10, the second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second end of the first diode D1, the second end of the third resistor R3, the first end of the first diode D1 and the first end of the fourth capacitor C4 are respectively connected to the second pin of the second chip U2, the second end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the reference ground, and the fifth pin of the second chip U2 is connected to the drive control circuit 30.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first drive signal is a positive voltage signal. Since the first drive signal output by the drive signal output circuit 10 needs to charge the fourth capacitor C4, the voltage signal received by the second pin of the second chip U2 is insufficient to enable the second chip U2 to output the first switch control signal. After the fourth capacitor C4 is charged to the preset voltage threshold, the voltage signal of the second pin of the second chip U2 can enable the second chip U2 to output the first switch control signal, so that the drive control circuit 30 controls the power tube to turn on after receiving the first switch control signal, thereby delaying the turning on of the power tube. It should be noted that the first switch control signal refers to a control signal that can drive the drive control circuit 30 to control the power tube to turn on. When the drive signal output circuit 10 stops outputting the first drive signal, the fourth capacitor C4 starts to discharge through the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3, and provides a voltage signal for the second pin of the second chip U2, so that the second chip U2 can continue to output the first switch control signal. After the fourth capacitor C4 discharges for a period of time, the voltage signal of the second pin of the second chip U2 is not enough to maintain the second chip U2 to continue to output the first switch control signal. At this time, the second chip U2 stops outputting the first switch control signal or starts to output the shutdown signal, and the drive control circuit 30 controls the power tube to shut down based on this. In this embodiment, the delay of the drive control circuit 30 controlling the power tube to turn on is mainly determined by the third resistor R3, and the third resistor R3 is much larger than the second resistor R2. The delay of the drive control circuit 30 controlling the power tube to shut down is mainly determined by the second resistor R2, thereby realizing the decoupling of the power tube turn-on delay and the turn-off delay. It should be noted that the second chip U2 uses an inverter chip, which can invert the voltage signal input to the second pin of the second chip U2 to form the first switch control signal. The turn-on delay and turn-off delay of the existing driving circuit are mainly determined by the internal circuit of the driving chip and the power tube itself, resulting in the inability to decouple the turn-on delay and the turn-off delay, and the limited adjustment capability, which will cause the driving control circuit 30 to be directly turned on, causing the driving power supply to overload and the power tube to be mistakenly turned on. The present application can achieve the decoupling of the turn-on delay and the turn-off delay through the first switch control circuit 21, and can adjust the resistance values ​​of the third resistor R3 and the second resistor R2 respectively to adjust the delay time, thereby improving the adjustment capability, which is conducive to the application in the parallel operation of multiple high-power complete machines, and has high driving consistency and high control accuracy of parallel current sharing. At the same time, it can flexibly replace different driving chips to achieve the same driving effect.

[0058] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the first switch control circuit 21 further includes:

[0059] A second diode D2, a second end of the second diode D2 is connected to the second pin of the second chip U2, and a first end of the second diode D2 is connected to the reference ground terminal; and / or,

[0060] A sixth resistor R6 , wherein a first end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the fifth pin of the second chip U2 , and a second end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the driving control circuit 30 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the input voltage of the second pin of the second chip U2 can be clamped at a voltage threshold by the second diode D2, thereby avoiding damage to the second chip U2. In addition, the sixth resistor R6 between the second chip U2 and the drive control circuit 30 can be adjusted to change the turn-on speed of the power tube controlled by the drive control circuit 30, so that the entire first switch control circuit can adjust the turn-on delay and the turn-off delay, and control the turn-on speed of the power tube, which is very beneficial for application in the occasion of parallel operation of multiple high-power complete machines.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , the switch control circuit 20 further includes a second switch control circuit 22, the drive signal further includes a second drive signal, and the switch control signal includes a second switch control signal;

[0063] The second switch control circuit 22 is used for outputting a second switch control signal to the drive control circuit 30 when receiving the second drive signal, so that the drive control circuit 30 controls the power tube to be turned off.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second switch control circuit 22 can be used to output a second switch control signal to the drive control circuit 30 when receiving the second drive signal, so as to instruct the drive control circuit 30 to control the power tube to be turned off. The present application sets the first switch control circuit 21 so that the drive control circuit 30 drives the power tube to be turned on, and sets the second switch control circuit 22 so that the drive control circuit 30 drives the power tube to be turned off, so as to realize the alternating turning on and off of the power tube, thereby improving the efficiency of turning on and off the power tube, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the control of the power tube.

[0065] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the second switch control circuit 22 includes a third chip U3, a fourth resistor R4, and a fifth resistor R5;

[0066] The first end of the fourth resistor R4 and the first end of the fifth resistor R5 are respectively connected to the drive signal output circuit 10, the second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the second pin of the third chip U3, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the reference ground, and the fifth pin of the third chip U3 is connected to the drive control circuit 30.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the drive signal output circuit 10 stops outputting the first drive signal, the drive signal output circuit 10 starts to output the second drive signal, and the second drive signal is a negative voltage signal. The voltage signal of the second pin of the third chip U3 is discharged through the fifth resistor R5. At this time, the voltage signal of the second pin of the third chip U3 is not enough to make the third chip U3 output the second switch control signal. After discharging to the chip threshold voltage of the third chip U3, the voltage signal of the second pin of the third chip U3 can make the third chip U3 output the second switch control signal, so that the drive control circuit 30 controls the power tube to turn off after receiving the second switch control signal, thereby forming a delay in the shutdown of the power tube. It should be noted that the second switch control signal refers to a control signal that can drive the drive control circuit 30 to control the power tube to turn off. In this embodiment, the delay of the drive control circuit 30 controlling the power tube to turn off is determined by the fifth resistor R5. It should be noted that the third chip U3 uses an inverter chip to invert the voltage signal of the second pin of the third chip U3 to form a second switch control signal.

[0068] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 2 The second switch control circuit 22 further includes a seventh resistor R7 , a first end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the fifth pin of the third chip U3 , and a second end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the drive control circuit 30 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the seventh resistor R7 between the third chip U3 and the drive control circuit 30 can be adjusted to change the turn-on speed of the power tube controlled by the drive control circuit 30, so that the entire second switch control circuit 22 can not only adjust the turn-off delay of the power tube, but also control the turn-on speed of the power tube, which is very beneficial for application in high-power parallel operation.

[0070] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the driving control circuit 30 includes a first switch tube Q1, a second switch tube Q2, an eighth resistor R8 and a ninth resistor R9;

[0071] The controlled end of the first switch tube Q1 is connected to the first switch control circuit 21, the first end of the first switch tube Q1 is connected to the positive electrode of the first power supply, the second end of the first switch tube Q1 is connected to the first end of the eighth resistor R8, and the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the controlled end of the power tube;

[0072] The controlled end of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the second switch control circuit 21, the second end of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the negative electrode of the first power supply, the first end of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the first end of the ninth resistor R9, and the second end of the ninth resistor R9 is connected to the controlled end of the power tube.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first switch tube Q1 is turned on when receiving the first switch control signal output by the first switch control circuit 21, at which time the positive voltage H_VCC of the first power supply is connected to the controlled end of the power tube through the eighth resistor R8, and the controlled end of the power tube is at a high level, so the power tube is turned on. The second switch tube Q2 is turned on when receiving the second switch control signal output by the second switch control circuit 22, at which time the negative voltage H_VEE of the first power supply is connected to the controlled end of the power tube through the ninth resistor R9, and the controlled end of the power tube is at a low level, so the power tube is turned off. It should be noted that the first switch tube Q1 can be a P-channel MOS tube, then the first switch control signal formed by inverting the voltage signal of the second pin of the input second chip U2 is the reference ground voltage H_E, and the first switch tube Q1 is turned on; the second switch tube Q2 can be an N-channel MOS tube, then the second switch control signal formed by inverting the voltage signal of the second pin of the input third chip U3 is also the reference ground voltage H_E, and the second end of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the negative voltage H_VEE of the first power supply, and the voltage difference between the controlled end and the second end of the second switch tube Q2 reaches the turn-on voltage threshold of the second switch tube Q2, at which time the second switch tube Q2 is turned on. In the present application, the first switch control circuit 21 and the second switch control circuit 22 respectively alternately control the conduction of the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 of the drive control circuit 30, so that the drive control circuit 30 can control the power tube to realize alternate opening and closing, thereby improving the efficiency of opening and closing the power tube, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the power tube control.

[0074] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, reference Figure 3 The driving signal output circuit 10 includes a first chip U1, the first pin and the second pin of the first chip U1 are connected to the controller for receiving the wave signal, and the tenth pin and the ninth pin of the first chip U1 are respectively connected to the first switch control circuit 21 and the second switch control circuit 22 of the switch control circuit 20.

[0075] In this embodiment, the tenth pin and the ninth pin of the first chip U1 are used to output the first drive signal and the second drive signal, respectively. The third pin of the first chip U1 is used to receive a reset signal, and the fifth pin of the first chip U1 is used to output a fault signal. It should be noted that the first chip U1 can be a driver chip of any type of power tube, which is not limited in this embodiment. Compared with the existing IGBT drive circuit, different first drive signals and second drive signals are output for different drive chips. The present application only needs to adjust the circuit parameters of the first switch control circuit 21 and the second switch control circuit 22 to flexibly replace different drive chips to achieve the same drive effect, so that in the scenario where different drive chips drive multiple power tubes in parallel, the drive consistency is high, which enhances the stability of the parallel operation.

[0076] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 , the driving circuit 100 further includes a reset circuit 40;

[0077] The reset circuit 40 is connected to the driving signal output circuit 10 , and is used to output a reset signal to the driving signal output circuit 10 when receiving a fault signal output by the driving signal output circuit 10 .

[0078] In this embodiment, after a short circuit fault occurs in the power tube, the drive signal output circuit 10 outputs a fault signal to the reset circuit 40. When the reset circuit 40 receives the fault signal output by the drive signal output circuit 10, it outputs a reset signal to the drive signal output circuit 10 to control the drive signal output circuit 10 to perform a reset operation, so that the drive circuit 100 can resume normal operation when the fault is eliminated. The existing drive circuit needs to use the short circuit protection and fault self-reset function of the drive chip to effectively shut down the tube when the drive chip fails. However, there is a problem that the drive chip cannot be reliably shut down when the drive chip fails, causing damage to the equipment. After a fault occurs, the controller often needs to send a reset signal to the drive chip to reliably reset it. When the software interface is tight, the use of the drive chip is limited. However, the present application can achieve hardware self-reset only through the reset circuit, thereby avoiding occupying the software interface.

The controlled end of the fifth switch tube Q5 is connected to the second end of the fourteenth resistor R14, the first end of the fourteenth resistor R14 is connected to the eighth pin of the fourth chip U4, the first end of the fifth switch tube Q5 is respectively connected to the second end of the fifteenth resistor R15 and the reset signal input end of the drive signal output circuit 10, the first end of the tenth resistor R10, the first end of the eleventh resistor R11, the first end of the twelfth resistor R12 and the first end of the fifteenth resistor R15 are respectively connected to the second power supply VCC, and the second end of the fourth switch tube Q4, the second end of the fifth switch tube Q5 and the second end of the sixth capacitor C6 are respectively grounded.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the driving circuit 10 works normally, the fault signal outputted from the fault signal output terminal of the driving signal output circuit 10 is at a high level, and the third diode D3 is cut off. At this time, the fourth switch tube Q4 is turned on, the first pin of the fourth chip U4 is at a low level, the eighth pin of the fourth chip U4 outputs a low level, the fifth switch tube Q5 is cut off, the reset signal continues to be at a high level, and at this time, the second pin of the fourth chip U4 is at a high level, and the voltages of the third and fourth pins of the fourth chip U4 are less than 1 / 3VCC. When the power tube fails, the fault signal is low level, the third diode D3 is turned on, the fourth switch tube Q4 is turned off, the first pin of the fourth chip U4 is high level, the eighth pin of the fourth chip U4 outputs high level, the fifth switch tube Q5 is turned on, the reset signal is low level, and the second pin of the fourth chip U4 is low level, the sixth capacitor C6 starts to charge, when the voltage of the third pin and the fourth pin of the fourth chip U4 is greater than 2 / 3VCC, the eighth pin of the fourth chip U4 outputs low level, the fifth switch tube Q5 is turned off, the reset signal is high level, the sixth capacitor C6 starts to discharge, and then the reset signal is low level, and after repeatedly sending out the reset signal of the pulse wave, when the driving circuit 100 resumes normal operation, the reset signal continues to be high level. Therefore, the driving signal output circuit 10 can determine whether a reset operation is required by judging the type of the reset signal. When the reset signal continues to be high level, the driving signal output circuit 10 maintains a normal working state, and when the reset signal is a pulse wave, the driving signal output circuit 10 needs to perform a reset operation. The present application can realize hardware self-reset only through the reset circuit, and when the driver chip fails, there is no need for the controller to send a reset signal to the driver chip, thereby avoiding occupying the software interface. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fourth switch tube Q4 and the fifth switch tube Q5 are triodes, and in other embodiments, the fourth switch tube Q4 and the fifth switch tube Q5 can also be MOS tubes, IGBTs and other devices for realizing switch functions.
