[0025] The problem of current sharing of devices is easy to occur in high-power resonant converters. To this end, in the embodiment of the utility model, the secondary side of the transformer in the first resonant converter is coupled with the secondary side of the transformer in the second resonant converter and connected in a star shape, so that the first resonant converter and the second resonant converter are magnetically coupled, thereby achieving current sharing of each device.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power converter provided in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the power converter includes: a first resonant converter and a second resonant converter; the first resonant converter includes a first switch network 101, a first resonant network 102 and a first rectifier network 103, and the second resonant converter includes a second switch network 104, a second resonant network 105 and a second rectifier network 106; the first rectifier network 103 includes a first transformer secondary side Ns1, a second transformer secondary side Ns2, a third transformer secondary side Ns3 and a first rectifier circuit, and the second rectifier network 106 includes a fourth transformer secondary side Ns4, a fifth transformer secondary side Ns5, a sixth transformer secondary side Ns6 and a second rectifier circuit.

[0028] Among them, the first transformer secondary Ns1, the second transformer secondary Ns2 and the sixth transformer secondary Ns3 are connected in star shape and connected to the first rectifier circuit; the third transformer secondary Ns4, the fourth transformer secondary Ns5 and the fifth transformer secondary Ns6 are connected in star shape and connected to the second rectifier circuit.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the first transformer T1, the second transformer T2, the third transformer T3, the fourth transformer T4, the fifth transformer T5 and the sixth transformer T6 in the embodiment of the utility model are connected in parallel, and the connection method is star connection. After the star connection, the first resonant converter and the second resonant converter are magnetically coupled, thereby achieving current sharing of each device, thereby improving the reliability of the product during use.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the first resonant network 102 is composed of a first resonant circuit, a second resonant circuit and a third resonant circuit, and the second resonant network 105 is composed of a fourth resonant circuit, a fifth resonant circuit and a sixth resonant circuit; the first resonant circuit includes a first capacitor Cr1, a first inductor L1 and a first transformer primary Np1, the second resonant circuit includes a second capacitor Cr2, a second inductor L2 and a second transformer primary Np2, the third resonant circuit includes a third capacitor Cr3, a third inductor L3 and a third transformer primary Np3, the fourth resonant circuit includes a fourth capacitor Cr4, a fourth inductor L4 and a fourth transformer primary Np4, the fifth resonant circuit includes a fifth capacitor Cr5, a fifth inductor L5 and a fifth transformer primary Np5, and the sixth resonant circuit includes a sixth capacitor Cr6, a sixth inductor L6 and a sixth transformer primary Np6.

[0031] As an example, the first transformer primary Np1, the second transformer primary Np2 and the third transformer primary Np3 are connected in star shape; the fourth transformer primary Np4, the fifth transformer primary Np5 and the sixth transformer primary Np6 are connected in star shape. The specific connection method is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0032] The star connection of transformer refers to connecting one terminal of each phase winding in the three-phase winding of the transformer together to form a common terminal, and the other terminal is connected to a power line to form a three-phase four-wire circuit. There are three main advantages: First, in the star connection, the voltage between the two terminals of the three-phase winding is small, so the current is also small. This is because the voltage of the three-phase power supply differs by 120°, the symmetry is good, and the current is not easy to concentrate on a certain line, thereby reducing the loss and tightness of the line; second, in the star connection, the power supply and the load are grounded separately, and no large phase voltage will be generated, reducing the loss of the line; third, in the star connection, each midpoint of the three-phase winding can be directly grounded, which is convenient for the grounding of the system.

[0033] In the related art, two inductors (not the primary or secondary side of the transformer) and a capacitor are used to form a resonant circuit. In the embodiment of the utility model, the primary inductor of the transformer is used as one of the inductors constituting the resonant circuit, which can simplify the structure of the resonant circuit and reduce the practical use of the inductor, thereby reducing the mention of the power converter and reducing the cost of the power converter.

[0034] In addition, for ease of understanding, the present utility model embodiment provides another structural schematic diagram of a power converter, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0036] One end of the first transformer primary Np1 is respectively connected to one end of the second transformer primary Np2 and one end of the third transformer primary Np3; the other end of the first transformer primary Np1, the other end of the second transformer primary Np2 and the other end of the third transformer primary Np3 are respectively connected to the first branch of the first capacitor and the first inductor connected in series, the second branch of the second capacitor and the second inductor connected in series, and the third branch of the third capacitor and the third inductor connected in series; one end of the fourth transformer primary Np4 is respectively connected to one end of the fifth transformer primary Np5 and one end of the sixth transformer primary Np6; the other end of the fourth transformer primary Np4, the other end of the fifth transformer primary Np5 and the other end of the sixth transformer primary Np6 are respectively connected to the fourth branch of the fourth capacitor and the fourth inductor connected in series, the fifth branch of the fifth capacitor and the fifth inductor connected in series, and the sixth branch of the sixth capacitor and the sixth inductor connected in series.

[0037] In addition, the first switch network 101 and the second switch network 104 may also be a three-phase two-level bridge circuit or a three-phase three-level bridge circuit.

[0039] In addition, both the first rectifier circuit and the second rectifier circuit can be three-phase bridge rectifier circuits, and the first rectifier circuit is coupled to the second rectifier circuit. One end of the first transformer secondary side Ns1, one end of the second transformer secondary side Ns2, and one end of the sixth transformer secondary side Ns6 are respectively connected to each phase in the first rectifier circuit; one end of the third transformer secondary side Ns3, one end of the fourth transformer secondary side Ns4, and one end of the fifth transformer secondary side Ns5 are respectively connected to each phase in the first rectifier circuit.

[0040] As an example, the first transformer secondary Ns1 is connected to the midpoint of the first rectifier circuit DA1 and DA4, the second transformer secondary Ns2 is connected to the midpoint of the first rectifier circuit DA2 and DA5, and the sixth transformer secondary Ns6 is connected to the midpoint of DA3 and DA6; the fourth transformer secondary Ns4 is connected to the midpoint of the second rectifier circuit DB1 and DB4, the fourth transformer secondary Ns4 is connected to the midpoint of the second rectifier circuit DB2 and DB5, and the fifth transformer secondary Ns5 is connected to the midpoint of DB3 and DB6.
