[0030] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer, the following will be further described in detail by combining with the drawings and embodiments.The specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of or, for example, A / B can represent A or B; "and / or" herein only represents a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone.
[0033] It is known in the prior art that the compressor pre-charge circuit structure is as shown in Figure 4
[0034] After the system is powered on, the power supply charges the compressor capacitor C1 through the PTC pre-charge resistor. When the charging starts, the current flowing through the PTC resistor is large, the device generates heat, which causes the PTC resistance to increase, inhibits the current growth, and protects the capacitor C1. In theory, if there is no control circuit in the later stage, the capacitor C1 will be fully charged, at which time the voltage across C1 is equal to the input voltage. In reality, the control circuit power supply of some compressors will take power from here, which will cause the compressor to always have a small load caused by the control circuit after the charging is completed, that is, there is always a small load current on the PTC resistor after the pre-charge is completed, so there is a voltage drop across the PTC pre-charge resistor, which causes the capacitor C1 to be unable to be pre-charged to the input voltage. Through measurement, if the bus voltage Vin is 30V, C1 can only be pre-charged to 27.5V at most. In general, the pre-charge voltage is required to reach 95% of the input voltage before closing, obviously the pre-charge voltage in this case does not meet the pre-charge condition. Since the capacitor C1 has a large capacitance, closing the pre-charge relay in this case will have a negative impact on the reliability and service life of the capacitor C1.
[0035] That is, the technical solution of the pre-charge circuit using the PTC pre-charge resistor in the prior art affects the charging accuracy of the capacitor C1, the cost of the charging circuit, and the service life of the product.
[0036] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a pre-charge circuit in the first aspect, which comprises a resistance voltage dividing network, a MOS tube K13 and a voltage stabilizing control circuit.
[0037] The resistance voltage dividing network comprises a first resistor R73, a second resistor R74 and a third resistor R75 connected in series, wherein the first end of the first resistor R73 is connected to the power supply input end Vin for connecting the power supply to the entire pre-charge circuit. The second end of the first resistor R73 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R74, the second end of the second resistor R74 is connected to the first end of the third resistor R75, and the second end of the third resistor R75 is further connected to the ground.
[0038] The first resistor R73, the second resistor R74 and the third resistor R75 are connected in series to form a voltage division network, and the voltage drops of the connection points relative to the input terminal Vin of the power supply can be controlled according to the selection and configuration of the sizes of the three resistors.
[0039] The first end of the first resistor R73 is connected to the drain of the MOS transistor K13, the second end of the first resistor R73 is connected to the gate of the MOS transistor K13, and the source of the MOS transistor K13 is the output terminal of the precharge circuit.
[0040] The MOSFET device used in the case is RFR5305TRPBF, and its transfer characteristic curve is as shown in the figure. Figure 3
[0041] The high-precision voltage stabilizing circuit N05 is connected in parallel between the first end of the first resistor R73 and the connection end of the second resistor R74 and the third resistor R75.
[0042] The high-precision voltage stabilizing circuit can use ME431 or other devices with the same electrical parameters. ME431 has good thermal stability and high control precision. Figure 2a Figure 2b
[0043] In some implementations of the first aspect, the precharge circuit further comprises a filter capacitor C21 connected in parallel across the first resistor R73. The filter capacitor C21 functions to suppress the inrush current at the power-on moment of the system, avoiding the problem of instantaneous increase of current at the power-on moment, which causes damage to electronic devices.
[0044] In some implementations of the first aspect, the precharge circuit further comprises a diode VX4_5, the anode of the diode VX4_5 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor K13, and the cathode of the diode VX4_5 is grounded.
[0045] Furthermore, the precharge circuit further comprises a fourth resistor R62 connected in series between the cathode of the diode VX4_5 and the ground.
[0046] The diode VX4_5, or the combination of the diode VX4_5 and R62, can be used as a working indication circuit of the precharge circuit.
[0047] The pre-charge voltage of the air conditioner compressor is usually 30V, and thus, in the embodiment of the application, the power input terminal Vin inputs a 30V voltage.
[0048] In the above circuit implementation structure, the resistance voltage dividing network is adopted to ensure that the voltage of VAC is above 2.5V under the condition of the lowest power supply voltage of the system. The high-precision voltage stabilizing circuit ME431 is adopted to stabilize the voltage between the second end of the first resistor R73 and the power input terminal Vin to 2.5V. AC
[0049] In a specific embodiment, the device types used in the circuit of the application are as follows.
[0050] Model Bit number Number RFR5305TRPBF K13 1 ME431 N05 1 18K-0805-F R75 1 1.1K-0805-F R74 1 2.7K-0805-F R73 1 0805-100nF C21 1
[0051] The second aspect of the application provides a compressor, which comprises a capacitor C1, a control circuit and a compressor coil, wherein:
[0052] The positive pole of the capacitor C1 is connected to the output terminal of the pre-charge circuit and to the control circuit.
[0053] The control circuit is connected to the compressor coil and further connected to the power input terminal through the pre-charge relay KA.
[0054] The pre-charge circuit is the pre-charge circuit provided in the first aspect of the application.
[0055] The third aspect of the application provides an air conditioner, which comprises the compressor provided in the second aspect of the application. In addition to the air conditioner system, the compressor can also be applied to other suitable electrical products.
[0056] Taking the input voltage of 30V as an example, the working principle of the pre-charge circuit of the application applied to the compressor system is as follows.
[0057] Through the selection of the three voltage dividing resistors, the input voltage Vin generates a voltage difference of more than 2.5V at point A through the resistance voltage dividing network R73-R75, and then the high-precision voltage stabilizing circuit N05 is used to control the voltage difference to 2.5V. When the external input voltage fluctuates within the design range, the voltage difference between point A and Vin is always 2.5V.
[0058] A stable voltage difference of -1.776V relative to Vin is generated at point B through a voltage division network of resistors R73 and R74, which controls the gate of the MOSFET. According to the characteristic curve of the MOSFET, the MOSFET device works in the variable resistance region at Vgs of -1.776V, and the maximum current is limited within 210mA. The compressor pre-charge capacitor is connected at Vout, and the charging current of the compressor capacitor can be controlled at about 200mA through the circuit, which greatly reduces the impact on the capacitor and improves the reliability of the capacitor. At the same time, since the on-resistance of the MOSFET in the on state is extremely low, the voltage of the compressor capacitor can be charged to 99% of the input voltage. Through actual measurement, when the input voltage is 30V, the pre-charge voltage can reach 29.73V. At this time, when the pre-charge relay KA of the compressor is closed again, there will be no negative impact on the capacitor C1 in the rear stage.
[0059] The pre-charge circuit provided by the utility model can improve the reliability of the power system. Since the current limiting technology is adopted, the scheme has the short circuit protection function. Through testing, even if the output end is directly short-circuited to the negative pole of the power supply, the MOSFET will not be damaged.
[0060] The pre-charge circuit provided by the utility model measures that the pre-charge voltage reaches 29.73V when the input voltage is 30V, and the pre-charge precision is higher than 1%.
[0061] The pre-charge circuit provided by the utility model does not need an external PTC resistor, and the space occupied by the electric control is reduced. Compared with the external PTC resistor pre-charge scheme in the prior art, the price is low, the cost of the external PTC resistor is between 40-60 yuan, and the cost of the pre-charge circuit of the utility model is within 3.5 yuan.
[0062] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
