Description
Technical Field

[0002] An inverter is a converter that converts DC power into constant frequency and voltage or frequency and voltage-regulated AC power. Large inverters are usually used to integrate the power generated by photovoltaic power generation or wind power generation into the AC power grid, and small inverters are usually used to convert DC power in batteries into AC power for household appliances. When the output power of a single inverter is insufficient, multiple inverters can be connected in parallel to form a distributed power supply. Distributed power supply can improve the reliability of power supply and the scalability of capacity.
[0003] In recent years, as the power demand of users' electrical equipment has gradually increased, the single-machine working mode can no longer meet the power demand, and the parallel working mode is increasingly adopted. Multiple inverters are connected together in parallel to share the load current and share the load, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability.
[0004] The frequency of the inverter is an important parameter of AC power. The key to achieving parallel operation of the inverter is frequency synchronization control, which requires the output voltage, frequency and phase of the inverter to be the same. Through synchronization control, closed-loop control of current and voltage can be achieved between the inverter outputs, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of parallel operation.

[0021] Preferably, the anode of the first primary light-emitting diode is connected to a 5V power supply through a third resistor R3, the cathode of the first primary light-emitting diode is connected to the collector of the second secondary photosensitive transistor through a first transistor Q1 and a seventh resistor R7, the collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the cathode of the first primary light-emitting diode, and the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ through the seventh resistor R7.

[0023] In this embodiment, the AC output terminals of two inverters of the same model and specification are connected through external connection lines, and the synchronization signal ports of two inverters of the same model and specification are connected through external connection lines, and are respectively connected to the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN-. Among the two inverters, one is defined as the host and the other is defined as the slave. The host sends a frequency synchronization signal for parallel operation through the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN-, and the slave receives the frequency synchronization signal through the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- and realizes frequency synchronization. This circuit has both sending and receiving functions. In this embodiment, the host and the slave are interchangeable.
[0024] The host micro-control unit sends a 3.3V square wave signal between the input terminal TXD and 3.3V_GND of the signal sending circuit, which is converted into a 5V square wave signal with the same frequency and amplitude through the signal sending circuit of this analog circuit, and then transmitted to the external port through the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN-; the slave receives the 5V square wave signal with the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- through the external port, which is converted into a 3.3V square wave signal with the same frequency and amplitude through the signal receiving circuit of this analog circuit, and then transmitted to the slave micro-control unit through the output terminal RXD and 3.3V_GND of the signal receiving circuit. Therefore, this circuit has two working modes:
[0025] First, the sending mode
[0026] The first state: the input terminal TXD of the signal sending circuit outputs a 3.3V high-level signal, the second primary light-emitting diode in the second optocoupler OPT2 does not meet the conduction condition, and the emitter and collector of the second secondary photosensitive transistor are in a high-impedance state, causing the second transistor Q2 to be cut off. At this time, the first primary light-emitting diode of the first optocoupler OPT1 is in forward bias conduction, and the voltage between the two ends after conduction is the diode conduction voltage drop. The collector and emitter of the first secondary photosensitive transistor are in a low-impedance state, and the output terminal RXD of the signal receiving circuit is pulled to a low level by the second resistor R2 and the first optocoupler OPT1, and the level is about the Vce saturation voltage drop. At the same time, the first transistor Q1 is in forward bias conduction, and the voltage drop is approximately the Vce saturation voltage drop. According to the voltage division principle, a high-level voltage of nearly 5V can be obtained between the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN-.
[0027] The second state: the input end of the signal transmission circuit outputs a 0V low-level signal, the second primary light-emitting diode in the second optical coupler OPT2 reaches the conduction condition, the emitter and collector of the second secondary phototransistor are in a low-resistance state, causing the second transistor Q2 to be turned on, and the first connection end CS-SYN+ and the second connection end CS-SYN- are at a low level, and the level is approximately the Vce saturation voltage drop. At this time, the first primary light-emitting diode of the first optical coupler OPT1 is in forward bias conduction, and the voltage at both ends after conduction is the diode conduction voltage drop, the collector and emitter of the first secondary phototransistor are in a low-resistance state, and the output end RXD of the signal receiving circuit is pulled to a low level by the second resistor R2 and the first optical coupler OPT1, and the level is approximately the Vce saturation voltage drop.
[0028] Therefore, by sending a low frequency 3.3V amplitude square wave signal at the input end of the signal sending circuit, a same frequency positive logic 5V amplitude square wave can be obtained between the first connection end CS-SYN+ and the second connection end CS-SYN-.
[0029] Second, receiving mode
[0030] When the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- receive an external 5V square wave low-frequency signal, the signal sent by the host micro-control unit to the input terminal TXD of the signal sending circuit is normally low level. At this time, the second primary side light-emitting diode of the second optocoupler OPT2 does not emit light, so that the second secondary side photosensitive transistor is cut off to a high impedance state.
[0031] The first state: when the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- receive a 5V high level, since the power supply voltage is equal to the potential of the high level, the first transistor Q1 and the first primary light-emitting diode of the first optical coupler OPT1 are in a 0 voltage bias cut-off state, the collector and emitter of the first secondary photosensitive transistor of the first optical coupler OPT1 are in a high impedance state and are connected in series with R1 to obtain a voltage of about 3.3V, and the level of the output terminal RXD of the signal receiving circuit is also 3.3V. The signal receiving circuit receives an external 5V high level and outputs a high level of about 3.3V.
[0032] The second state: when the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- receive a 0V low level, it is equivalent to the collector of the second transistor Q2 being connected to 5V_GND, the first transistor Q1 being forward biased and turned on, the collector and emitter voltage drop of the first transistor Q1 being the Vces saturation voltage drop, at which time the first primary side light emitting diode of the first optical coupler OPT1 is turned on and emits light due to the forward bias, and the collector and emitter voltage Vces of the first secondary side photosensitive transistor of the first optical coupler OPT1 is the saturation voltage drop. The signal receiving circuit receives an external 0V low level and outputs a low level of approximately the Vces saturation voltage drop.
[0033] Therefore, by inputting a low frequency 5V amplitude square wave signal at the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN-, a same frequency positive logic 3.3V amplitude square wave can be obtained at the output terminal RXD of the signal receiving circuit.
[0034] In summary, the host micro-control unit sends a synchronization signal through the input terminal TXD of the signal transmission circuit, and outputs it to the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- port. The slave receives the synchronization signal from the first connection terminal CS-SYN+ and the second connection terminal CS-SYN- port, and after conversion, transmits it to the slave micro-control unit through the output terminal RXD of the signal receiving circuit.
[0035] The frequency synchronization signal circuit of the above-mentioned inverter wired parallel machine is used for mobile energy storage inverter output wired parallel machine or other inverter output wired parallel machine. The signal sending circuit and the signal receiving circuit realize the two-way transmission of the frequency synchronization signal, which can send the frequency synchronization signal and receive the frequency synchronization signal; at the same time, the sending end and the receiving end of the signal are isolated and processed by the photoelectric coupler, so that the circuit has good electrical insulation and anti-interference capabilities. This circuit is constructed by discrete components, which can realize the parallel machine of analog signals and reduce the circuit cost. The circuit structure of the utility model is simple, easy to implement, low cost, and easy to promote.

According to the creative spirit of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also make other changes. These changes made according to the creative spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection required by the present invention.
