[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the accompanying drawings:

[0029] Figure 1 This is a logic block diagram of an embodiment of a DC bus discharge circuit according to this utility model;

[0030] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of a DC bus discharge circuit according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of a DC bus discharge circuit according to this invention. Figure 1In the shown embodiment of the DC bus discharging circuit, the DC bus discharging circuit comprises: a DC bus input end 110, an optical coupling isolation unit 130, an optical coupling power supply unit 120, an energy storage unit 140, a discharge unit 160 and a discharge bypass unit 150; the optical coupling power supply unit 120 is connected to the DC bus input end 110, and is used to receive an input voltage of the DC bus input end 110 to obtain a power supply voltage; the optical coupling isolation unit 130 is connected to the optical coupling power supply unit 120 and the DC bus input end 110, and is used to be turned on when the power supply voltage is received; the discharge bypass unit 150 is connected to the optical coupling isolation unit 130, and is used to be turned on when the optical coupling isolation unit 130 is turned on, and is turned off when the optical coupling isolation unit 130 is turned off; the energy storage unit 140 is connected to the optical coupling isolation unit 130, and is used to be charged when the optical coupling isolation unit 130 is turned on; the discharge unit 160 is connected to the energy storage unit 140, the discharge bypass unit 150 and the DC bus input end 110, and is used to be turned off when the discharge bypass unit 150 is turned on, and is maintained to be turned on by discharging of the energy storage unit 140 to discharge the DC bus input end 110 when the discharge bypass unit 150 is turned off.

[0033] Specifically, the optocoupler power supply unit 120 is connected to the DC bus input terminal 110 and performs voltage conversion on the input voltage of the DC bus input terminal 100 to obtain the power supply voltage required by the optocoupler isolation unit 130. The optocoupler power supply unit 120 can perform voltage conversion using various voltage conversion circuits. The specific circuit of the optocoupler power supply unit 120 is not limited; any circuit that can achieve this voltage conversion can be selected based on existing circuit conversion circuits. For example, a 5V voltage output is sufficient. When the DC bus input terminal 110 is connected to the circuit and has a voltage output, the optocoupler isolation unit 130 powers on and enters the conducting state. The input voltage of the DC bus input terminal 110 is input to the energy storage unit 140 through the conducting optocoupler isolation unit 130, charging the energy storage unit 140. Simultaneously, the input voltage of the DC bus input terminal 110, after passing through the conducting optocoupler isolation unit 130, drives the discharge bypass unit 150 to conduct. After the discharge bypass unit 150 conducts, it bypasses the discharge unit 160, meaning that the discharge unit 160 does not participate in the operation at this time. Specifically, the discharge unit 160 is set to the off state, and no discharge is performed on the output of the DC bus input terminal 110. This process ensures that the output voltage of the DC bus input terminal 110 is normal, and the downstream equipment operates normally. When the output voltage of the DC bus input terminal 110 is turned off, the optocoupler power supply unit 120 will turn off the power supply voltage because the output voltage of the DC bus input terminal 110 is turned off. The optocoupler isolation unit 130 is powered down and turns off, triggering the discharge bypass unit 150 to turn off. When the bypass unit 150 is turned off, it can no longer control the discharge unit 160. At this time, the discharge unit 160 is powered on through the discharge process of the energy storage unit 140. After the discharge unit 160 is turned on, the residual voltage at the DC bus input terminal 110 can be discharged through the discharge unit 160. By setting the energy storage capacity of the energy storage unit 140, the discharge time of the energy storage unit 140 is made approximately coincident with the discharge time of the DC bus input terminal 110, thereby achieving the discharge of the residual voltage at the DC bus input terminal 110 to a safe value or complete discharge. Considering the operating delay of the optocoupler power supply unit 120, that is, when the DC bus input terminal 110 is initially powered on, the optocoupler power supply unit 120 cannot immediately power on the optocoupler isolation unit 130. The optocoupler isolation unit 130 will receive the power supply voltage and start working after a period of time. Prior to this, the optocoupler isolation unit 130 was always in the off state, the discharge bypass unit 150 was also in the off state, and the energy storage unit 140 was in a state of no energy. The discharge unit 160 did not work, that is, it did not discharge. This process ensures that the circuit is in a stable state at the moment the DC bus input terminal 110 is powered on, and will not cause the discharge unit 160 to malfunction.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, in an embodiment, the optocoupler isolation unit 130 comprises a first resistor, a second resistor and an optocoupler chip; the first end of the optocoupler chip is connected to the first end of the first resistor and the first end of the second resistor, the second end of the first resistor is connected to the power supply voltage, and the second end of the optocoupler chip and the second end of the second resistor are grounded; the third end of the optocoupler chip is connected to the positive pole of the DC bus input end 110, and the fourth end of the optocoupler chip is connected to the discharge bypass unit 150 and the energy storage unit 140.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first resistor comprises a resistor R1, the second resistor comprises a resistor R2, and the optocoupler chip comprises an optocoupler chip U1. The power supply voltage provided by the optocoupler power supply unit 120 forms a power supply voltage at the first end of the resistor R2 after passing through the resistor R1 and is input to the first end of the optocoupler chip U1. When the first end of the optocoupler chip U1 has the power supply voltage, the light emitting part inside the optocoupler chip U1 is powered on, triggering the light receiving part of the optocoupler chip U1 to work and conduct, the third end of the optocoupler chip U1 is conducted with the fourth end of the optocoupler chip U1, and the positive pole of the DC bus input end 110 is input through the conducted optocoupler chip U1 to form an output at the fourth end of the optocoupler chip U1. The output supplies power to the discharge bypass unit 150 and the energy storage unit 140.

[0036] Optionally, the optocoupler isolation unit 130 further comprises a voltage stabilizing circuit; the first end of the voltage stabilizing circuit is connected to the positive pole of the DC bus input end 110, and the second end of the voltage stabilizing circuit is connected to the negative pole of the DC bus input end 110. Specifically, when the optocoupler isolation unit 130 is conducted, the input voltage of the DC bus input end 110 supplies power to the discharge bypass unit 150 through the voltage stabilizing circuit.

[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in an embodiment, the voltage stabilizing circuit comprises a voltage stabilizing tube ZD1; the cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is connected to the positive pole of the DC bus input end 110, and the anode of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is connected to the negative pole of the DC bus input end 110. That is, the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is used for voltage stabilization to ensure that the power supply voltage of the discharge bypass unit 150 is stable.

[0038] Optionally, the discharge bypass unit 150 comprises a first switch tube, a third resistor and a fourth resistor; the control end of the first switch tube is connected to the first end of the third resistor and the first end of the fourth resistor, the second end of the third resistor is connected to the fourth end of the optocoupler chip, the first end of the first switch tube is connected to the discharge unit 160, and the second end of the first switch tube and the second end of the fourth resistor are connected to the negative pole of the DC bus input end 110. As shown in the figure, Figure 2As shown, the first switch tube includes MOS tube Q1, the third resistor includes resistor R3, and the fourth resistor includes resistor R4. The gate of the MOS tube Q1 corresponds to the control end of the first switch tube, and receives the input voltage of the DC bus input end 110 through the resistor R3 to be turned on. When the MOS tube Q1 is turned on, the first end voltage of the MOS tube Q1 is pulled low, that is, the MOS tube Q1 outputs a low level to the bleeding unit 160, and the bleeding unit 160 is in an off state and does not perform voltage bleeding on the DC bus input end 110. In an embodiment, the first switch tube is a low-voltage MOS tube.

[0039] Optionally, the energy storage unit 140 includes an isolation diode and a charging capacitor; the anode of the isolation diode is connected to the fourth end of the optocoupler chip, the cathode of the isolation diode is connected to the first end of the charging capacitor and the bleeding unit 160, and the second end of the charging capacitor is connected to the negative electrode of the DC bus input end 110. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the isolation diode includes diode D1, and the charging capacitor includes charging capacitor C1. When the charging capacitor C1 is discharged, the diode D1 can effectively prevent the discharge voltage of the charging capacitor C1 from entering the fourth pin of the optocoupler chip U1, and then entering the bleeding bypass unit 150, so that the bleeding bypass unit 150 is triggered. Based on this, the charging of the charging capacitor C1 is also provided by the input voltage of the DC bus input end 110, so that in the specific bleeding process, that is, when the device is powered off, the DC bus voltage is used to timely bleed the bus residual voltage, the bleeding requirement of the bus is met, the reliability of the bleeding circuit is high, the cost of the bleeding circuit is extremely low, the space of the entire device such as the energy storage system is not occupied, and the circuit performance is improved.

[0040] Optionally, the bleeding unit 160 includes a bleeding resistor, a second switch tube, a fifth resistor, and a sixth resistor; the first end of the bleeding resistor is connected to the positive electrode of the DC bus input end 110, and the second end of the bleeding resistor is connected to the first end of the second switch tube; the control end of the second switch tube is connected to the first end of the fifth resistor and the first end of the sixth resistor, the second end of the fifth resistor is connected to the energy storage unit 140, and the second end of the sixth resistor and the second end of the second switch tube are connected to the negative electrode of the DC bus input end 110. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the bleed-off resistor comprises resistor R8, the second switch tube comprises MOS tube Q2, the fifth resistor comprises resistor R5, and the sixth resistor comprises resistor R6. The gate of the MOS tube Q2 corresponds to the control end of the second switch tube, and is turned on or turned off according to the voltage at the first end of the resistor R6. When the bleed-off bypass unit 150 is turned on, the voltage at the second end of the resistor R6 is pulled low, and the MOS tube Q2 is turned off. When the bleed-off bypass unit 150 is turned off, if the energy storage unit 140 is discharged, the voltage at the second end of the resistor R6 is pulled high, and the MOS tube Q2 is turned on. At this time, the residual voltage of the DC bus input end 110 can be discharged to the negative pole of the DC bus input end 110 through the resistor R8 and the turned-on MOS tube Q2. In a specific embodiment, the second switch tube can be a high-voltage and high-current MOS tube.

[0041] The circuit according to the present application can realize the isolated control of the control circuit and the bleed-off circuit by using the isolation optical coupling and the bleeder tube to form a corresponding control circuit of the bleed-off circuit, and can drive the bleed-off circuit to work by using the bus voltage to discharge the residual voltage of the bus.

[0042] In addition, the electronic device according to the present application comprises the above DC bus discharge circuit. The electronic device can be an electronic device powered by a DC bus, such as an energy storage inverter system. The electronic device can realize the discharge process of the residual voltage when the DC bus is powered off by the DC bus discharge circuit, thereby ensuring the safety of the electronic device.

[0043] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present application, and some modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
