Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of capacitor activation, in particular to a capacitor activation device used in a direct current circuit of a frequency converter. Background Art
[0002] If the inverter capacitor is stored for a long time, it will cause the capacitor to fail. In order to restore the capacitor to new energy, the inverter capacitor must be reactivated, otherwise its leakage current will increase. If a high voltage is applied sharply during the reactivation process, the capacitor may be damaged due to the rapid increase in temperature, bringing the risk of the inverter exploding when it is put online. Therefore, a large number of inverter spare parts that have been stored for more than half a year need to be slowly charged and "aged" (for every year of non-use, the "aging" time is about 1 hour). However, there is currently a lack of pre-charging devices, so inverter spare parts that have been stored for a long time cannot be pre-charged; and after replacing capacitors and other devices in online AC-DC-AC transmission devices, online pre-charge activation tests cannot be performed due to the lack of capacitor activation devices, and thus the fault cannot be pre-processed.

[0034] Figure 1A The structure diagram of the capacitor activation device 1a disclosed in the first embodiment of the utility model includes a power module 10, a rectifier module 11 and a capacitor to be activated 12. The power module 10 is used to provide an adjustable voltage, such as an adjustable transformer. The rectifier module 11 couples the power module 10 and the capacitor to be activated 12. If the capacitor to be activated 12 is in a DC circuit, the rectifier module 11 adjusts the AC voltage provided by the power module 10 to a DC voltage.
[0035] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the power module 10 may include an adjustable transformer AC1, a first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series with the adjustable transformer AC1, and a second transformer T1, wherein T1 may be a step-up transformer. The primary side of T1 is connected to the adjustable transformer AC1 and the first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series, and the secondary side is coupled to the rectifier module 11.
[0036] The rectifier module 11 can be a diode bridge rectifier circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes diodes VD1-VD4. Its input end is connected to the secondary side of the second transformer T1, and its output end is coupled to the capacitor 12 to be activated (for example, C1).
[0037] In the first embodiment, the voltage is gradually increased by the adjustable transformer AC1 and rectified by the diode bridge rectifier circuit to charge the capacitor 12 to be activated, thereby realizing the pre-charging of the capacitor in the DC circuit of the inverter.

The capacitor activation device 1b includes a power module 10, a rectifier module 11, a capacitor to be activated 12, and a current limiting module 13. Among them, the power module 10 is used to provide an adjustable voltage, such as an adjustable transformer. The rectifier module 11 couples the power module 10 and the capacitor to be activated 12. If the capacitor to be activated 12 is in a DC circuit, the rectifier module 11 adjusts the AC voltage provided by the power module 10 to a DC voltage. The current limiting module 13 is used to limit the current in the circuit, and automatically disconnects when the current reaches a certain value, thereby protecting the circuit.
[0039] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the power module 10 may include an adjustable transformer AC1, a first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series with the adjustable transformer AC1, and a second transformer T1, wherein T1 may be a step-up transformer. The primary side of T1 is connected to the adjustable transformer AC1 and the first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series, and the secondary side is coupled to the rectifier module 11.
[0040] The rectifier module 11 can be a diode bridge rectifier circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes diodes VD1 to VD4 , whose input end is connected to the secondary side of the second transformer T1 , and whose output end is coupled to the activated capacitor 12 (eg C1 ) through a current limiting module 13 (eg fuse FU1 ).
[0041] In the second embodiment, the voltage is gradually increased by the adjustable transformer AC1 and rectified by the diode bridge rectifier circuit to charge the capacitor 12 to be activated, thereby pre-charging the capacitor in the inverter DC circuit; and the current limiting module 13 is provided to protect the circuit.
[0042] Figure 1C This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the capacitor activation device 1 disclosed in the third embodiment of the present utility model. The capacitor activation device 1 includes a power module 10, a rectifier module 11, a capacitor to be activated 12, a current limiting module 13 and a display module 14. Among them, the power module 10 is used to provide an adjustable voltage, such as an adjustable transformer. The rectifier module 11 couples the power module 10 and the capacitor to be activated 12. If the capacitor to be activated 12 is in a DC circuit, the rectifier module 11 adjusts the AC voltage provided by the power module 10 to a DC voltage. The current limiting module 13 is used to limit the current in the circuit, and automatically disconnects when the current reaches a certain value, thereby protecting the circuit. The display module 14 is used to display the voltage in the charging circuit to achieve the effect of cyclic charging.
[0043] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the power module 10 may include an adjustable transformer AC1, a first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series with the adjustable transformer AC1, and a second transformer T1, wherein T1 may be a step-up transformer. The primary side of T1 is connected to the adjustable transformer AC1 and the first switch (e.g., a circuit breaker QF1) connected in series, and the secondary side is coupled to the rectifier module 11.
[0044] The rectifier module 11 can be a diode bridge rectifier circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes diodes VD1 to VD4. Its input end is connected to the secondary side of the second transformer T1, and its output end is connected to the capacitor 12 (for example, C1) to be activated through a current limiting module 13 (for example, a fuse FU1) and a display module 14 (for example, a bulb R1).
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the circuit corresponding to the capacitor activation device 1 of the utility model is: after the circuit breaker QF1 is closed, the adjustable transformer AC1 is manually boosted, and the primary side voltage U1 of the second transformer T1 is boosted to the secondary side voltage U2 through the transformer T1 (for example, 1:3 ratio), U2 is converted into direct current through the rectifier module 11, and the capacitor C1 to be activated is charged through the fuse FU1 and the bulb R1. During the charging process, the bulb R1 lights up under the action of the current, serving as an indicator and current limiter for the pre-charging circuit, thereby playing a role in protecting the circuit.
[0046] Specifically, the voltage is gradually increased through the adjustable transformer AC1 to charge the inverter DC circuit capacitor (such as C1) or capacitor group. During the charging process, a loop current is generated to make the bulb R1 light up. When the bulb R1 lights up, the voltage is manually stopped, and the bulb R1 is extinguished after the voltages on both sides are balanced. At this time, the voltage is gradually increased to charge the capacitor C1. This cycle is executed to achieve the purpose of safe charging.
[0047] Exemplarily, the specifications of circuit breaker QF1 are 2P, 220V, 5A; the voltage range of adjustable transformer AC1 is 0-220V; the transformation ratio of the second transformer T1 is 1:3, i.e. 0-660V; the sustainable current of VD1-VD4 in the diode bridge rectifier circuit is 5A; the current of fuse FU1 is 5A; the power of bulb R1 is 100W, and the capacitor C1 to be activated is the inverter DC circuit capacitor or capacitor group.
[0048] To sum up, in order to protect the inverter capacitor, the capacitor activation device of the utility model applies an adjustable voltage to the capacitor to be activated, and limits the current at the same time to prevent excessive current from causing impact on the capacitor to be activated, causing the capacitor to be activated to burn out and explode the machine, thereby solving the problem of capacitor failure due to long-term storage of inverter spare parts; in addition, the capacitor activation device of the utility model can test and diagnose the online inverter, which is convenient for fault handling.
