[0002] A switching power supply is a high-frequency power conversion device that converts a voltage level into the voltage or current required by the user through various structures.

[0003] Currently, a Chinese utility model, publication number CN220382954U, discloses a high-efficiency switching power supply circuit. Currently, the technology in the market for small and medium-power switching power supplies is relatively mature, and the efficiency of switching power supplies is relatively good. However, for high-power, high-frequency switching power supplies, due to the need to ensure both high power and high efficiency, the vast majority of switching power supplies on the market still have significant performance deficiencies. This is particularly true for automotive reluctance motors, as each reluctance motor controller requires a switching power supply circuit to achieve motor control. Therefore, such high-performance products are extremely scarce. To address this problem, we have proposed a 4kW low-voltage switching power supply for a switched reluctance motor controller. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a 4kW low-voltage switched reluctance motor controller switching power supply, which has the advantages of a small switching power supply circuit, high circuit integration, five-way isolated output and multi-way power supply, low circuit mass production cost, and strong practicality.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions: a 4kW low-voltage switched reluctance motor controller switching power supply, including a switching power supply circuit, which is composed of a control circuit, a drive circuit and a power circuit. The power circuit includes a field-effect transistor Q1, a field-effect transistor Q2, a field-effect transistor Q3, a field-effect transistor Q4, a field-effect transistor Q5 and a field-effect transistor Q6. The field-effect transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q6 are all independently electrically connected to a drive circuit, and the drive circuit is electrically connected to the control circuit.

[0006] The above technical solution configures the existing switching power supply circuit to have five isolated voltage outputs, primarily consisting of a main output and four auxiliary outputs. Simultaneously, a single-ended flyback circuit is employed to implement a multi-isolated output switching power supply design, achieving DC-to-DC conversion. This switching power supply circuit, utilizing the flyback principle, adjusts the charge and discharge time of the transformer coil by varying the duty cycle of the pulse voltage controlling the power tube, thereby stabilizing the output voltage of the switching power supply. This allows for simultaneous output of multiple, mutually isolated voltages, ensuring the stability and reliability of the main output voltage. This design offers the advantages of a compact power supply circuit, high circuit integration, and five isolated outputs for multi-power supply. Furthermore, the circuit can be mass-produced at low cost, resulting in high practical application value.

[0008] The above technical solution is adopted. Since the input of the switching power supply is a 60V DC power supply. The single-ended flyback topology is widely used in small-power switching power supplies. The circuit uses fewer components, has a simple circuit structure, low cost, small size, and can output multiple isolated voltages at the same time. The switching power supply circuit adopts a single-ended flyback circuit to complete the design of a multi-channel isolated output switching power supply and realize DC to DC conversion. The switching power supply circuit using the flyback principle adjusts the charging and discharging time of the transformer coil by changing the duty cycle of the pulse voltage of the control power tube to achieve the stability of the output voltage of the switching power supply. The working principle of the switching power supply using a flyback transformer is relatively simple, and the voltage output variation range is relatively large. It is most widely used in small and medium-sized switching power supplies.

[0009] The utility model is further configured such that the drains of the field effect transistors Q1 , Q3 and Q5 are not grounded together, while the drains of the field effect transistors Q2 , Q4 and Q6 are grounded together.

Small inductor filtering at the load end is used as a supplementary filter, while large capacitor filtering is used as the primary filter to reduce output voltage spikes. When the transformer's secondary winding releases energy, a secondary circuit is formed, which is rectified by diodes. The five isolated outputs utilize a combination of half-wave and full-bridge rectification. The auxiliary output VOA undergoes transformer transformation, full-bridge rectification, filtering by inductors and large capacitors, voltage regulation by 7815, 7912, or 7905 regulators, and capacitor filtering before output.

[0034] Brief description of the usage process:

[0035] First, the switching power supply circuit provides multiple isolated voltage outputs for the controller. The circuit is powered by an on-board 60V DC power supply. It also includes an inverter circuit, a flyback high-frequency transformer, a main output rectifier filter circuit, a current-mode control circuit composed of UC3842, a voltage and current feedback circuit, and a DC / DC conversion circuit composed of MC34063. The switched reluctance motor SRM is a three-phase 12 / 8-pole motor. The input power supply is the on-board battery, the input voltage is DC 60V, and the designed switching power supply has a rated output power of 30W. The control processor is an ARM chip based on the Cortex-M3 core. The circuits in the controller include switching power supply, drive circuit, overcurrent protection circuit, input, display circuit, ADC sampling circuit, and position signal adjustment circuit. The test drive system also has a load motor, a test platform, etc. The SRM drive system mainly includes: on-board power supply, switched reluctance motor SRM, controller circuit, power converter, current sensor, position detector, etc.

[0036] The position signal, current and voltage signal of the switched reluctance motor SRM are detected by the switching power supply circuit, and the control circuit generates a corresponding PWM signal. After being amplified by the drive circuit, the PWM signal controls the field effect transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q6 in the power circuit to turn on and off, thereby controlling the current of the motor winding.

[0037] Since the drains of the FETs Q1, Q3, and Q5 in the controller's main circuit do not share a common ground, the three drive circuits that drive the FETs Q1, Q3, and Q5 require three sets of isolated power supplies; the drains of the FETs Q2, Q4, and Q6 share a common ground, so the three drive circuits of the FETs Q2, Q4, and Q6 only require one set of power supplies; and the control circuit requires one set of isolated power supplies.

[0038] The control circuit is then powered by the +15V and +5V output power supplies of the switching power supply circuit. Since the control circuit requires a large current drive, the output current is 1A. The drive circuit of the field effect transistor Q1 is powered by the +15VA, -5VA, and 0VA output power supplies of the switching power supply circuit. Figure 4 , Group A output power supply. The drive circuit of FET Q3 is powered by +15VB, -5VB, 0VB output power supply, please refer to Figure 4 , Group B output power supply. The drive circuit of FET Q5 is powered by +15VC, -5VC, and 0VC output power supplies. Figure 4, Group C output power supply. Group A, Group B and Group C are isolated from each other, and the output current is 0.1A. FET Q2, FET Q4 and FET Q6 are powered by +15VG, -5VG and 0VG output power supplies, please refer to Figure 4 , group D output power supply, group D current is 0.2A.

[0039] At the same time, the designed switching power supply has an input of 60V DC voltage and outputs 5 groups of isolated DC voltages, providing +5V voltage to the low-voltage reluctance motor control circuit, +15V voltage to the signal processing circuit, +15V and -5V voltages to the drive circuits of Group A, Group B and Group C, and +15V and -5V voltages to the drive circuit of Group D.

[0040] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
