[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a three-phase power bridge dual-redundancy circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a three-phase power bridge dual-redundancy circuit, including two bridge arm circuits (main bridge arm circuit (bridge arm 1) and spare bridge arm circuit (bridge arm 2)), two current sampling modules (first current sampling module and second current sampling module), and an MCU. The three output ports of the main bridge arm circuit are respectively connected to the three ports of the three-phase motor through fuses, and the three output ports of the spare bridge arm circuit are directly connected to the three ports of the three-phase motor. The first current sampling module and the second current sampling module are respectively connected to the main bridge arm circuit and the spare bridge arm circuit to sample the current. The outputs of the first current sampling module and the second current sampling module are connected to the MCU, and the output of the MCU is connected to the main bridge arm circuit, the spare bridge arm circuit, and the fuses, sending drive signals to the main bridge arm circuit and the spare bridge arm circuit, and sending fuse signals to the fuses for switching between the main bridge arm circuit and the spare bridge arm circuit.

[0021] Both the main bridge arm circuit and the standby bridge arm circuit contain three half-bridges connected in parallel, and each half-bridge includes two MOSFETs connected in series. The MCU connects the gates of the MOSFETs in the main bridge arm circuit and the standby bridge arm circuit through a first MOSFET drive circuit, a second MOSFET drive circuit, and a third MOSFET drive circuit.

[0022] In the main bridge arm circuit, each half-bridge consists of a first MOSFET and a second MOSFET connected in series, with the source of the first MOSFET connected to the drain of the second MOSFET. The drains of each first MOSFET in the three half-bridges are connected together and then connected to the power supply via a first fuse circuit. The sources of each second MOSFET are connected together and then connected to a first current sampling circuit, and further grounded via a second fuse circuit. The output at the midpoint of each first and second MOSFET is connected to the three ports of the three-phase motor via third, fourth, and fifth fuse circuits, respectively. The MCU sends fuse signals to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth fuse circuits. The MCU is connected to the gates of all MOSFETs in the main bridge arm circuit via a first MOSFET driver circuit.

[0023] In the spare bridge arm circuit, each half-bridge consists of a third MOSFET and a fourth MOSFET connected in series, with the source of the third MOSFET connected to the drain of the fourth MOSFET. The drains of each third MOSFET in the three half-bridges are connected together and then connected to the power supply; the sources of each fourth MOSFET in the three half-bridges are connected together and then connected to the second current sampling circuit, and further grounded through the three-phase motor winding anomaly detection circuit; the outputs at the midpoint of each third and fourth MOSFET are connected to the three ports of the three-phase motor. The three-phase motor winding anomaly detection circuit consists of an inductor and a MOSFET connected in parallel. The MCU is connected to the gates of all the MOSFETs in the three half-bridges through the second MOSFET driver circuit, and to the gates of the MOSFETs in the three-phase motor winding anomaly detection circuit through the third MOSFET driver circuit.

[0024] Its working principle is as follows:

[0025] First, the main bridge arm circuit connects to the power supply and the three-phase motor. Through the first current sampling circuit signal, the MCU's overcurrent detection can detect whether the main bridge arm circuit is abnormally short-circuited. When an abnormal short circuit is detected, the MCU can restart the main bridge arm circuit by resetting. If the abnormal short circuit fault is confirmed, the MCU sends a fuse signal to each fuse circuit, blowing the three-terminal fuses. At this time, the physical connection between the main bridge arm circuit, the power supply, and the three-phase motor is severed. Immediately after this, the backup bridge arm circuit is started, restoring control of the three-phase motor. After the backup bridge arm starts, it first energizes each of the three-phase motor windings individually. The MOSFET (MOS13) in the three-phase motor winding abnormality detection circuit is not conducting, and the phase current flows through the inductor L. By detecting the current rise slope, it can be determined whether the phase winding is short-circuited. During normal operation, the MOSFET (MOS13) in the three-phase motor winding abnormality detection circuit is conducting, and the inductor L is short-circuited.

Various modifications and substitutions to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the above content. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims.
