[0028] The specific embodiment of the utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings.

[0029] The utility model provides a kind of precharge circuit based on the working characteristic of power device, the precharge circuit is connected with the capacitor module in power supply circuit, including precharge module, sampling module and control module, the sampling module and control module are connected with precharge module, wherein,

[0030] The precharge module includes at least a MOSFET Q2, the sampling module is used to acquire the source current of the MOSFET Q2 and generate a sampling voltage, and the control module is used to control the MOSFET Q2 to operate in the variable resistance region according to the sampling voltage.

[0031] Specifically, the operating characteristics based on power devices refer to the variable resistance characteristics exhibited by a MOSFET when operating in the variable resistance region. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the gate-source voltage Vgs of a MOSFET is greater than the turn-on voltage Vth, a conductive channel begins to form between the drain and source of the MOSFET, i.e., the MOSFET turns on. When the gate-source voltage Vgs is greater than the turn-on voltage Vth, and the drain-source voltage Vds < Vgs - Vth, the MOSFET operates in the variable resistance region, exhibiting variable resistance characteristics. In this case, the MOSFET is not fully turned on, and the channel resistance is controlled by Vgs. Figure 2 As shown, when the MOSFET operates in the variable resistance region, Vgs is constant, and the drain current ID is linearly related to Vds. The MOSFET can be used as an equivalent resistor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the MOSFET Q2 is an NMOS transistor. When pre-charging the capacitor module in the power supply circuit, the control module controls the MOSFET Q2 to operate in the variable resistance region according to the sampled voltage Vs, thereby replacing the pre-charging resistor in the traditional pre-charging circuit to complete the pre-charging work. This eliminates the need for the costly and bulky pre-charging resistor in the traditional pre-charging circuit, solving the problems of large size and high device cost in traditional pre-charging circuits. The specific forms of the power supply circuit, pre-charging module, sampling module, and control module are described below.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the capacitor module includes capacitors C4 and C5, and the sampling module includes resistor R2. One end of capacitor C4 is connected to the drain of MOSFET Q2, and the source of MOSFET Q2 is grounded through resistor R2. The other end of capacitor C4 is connected to the load, and capacitor C5 is connected in parallel with capacitor C4. Resistor R2 serves as the sampling resistor, used to acquire the source current of MOSFET Q2, i.e., the current flowing through MOSFET Q2. The voltage drop across resistor R2 caused by the source current is the sampling voltage Vs. During pre-charging, MOSFET Q2, which operates in the variable resistance region, is equivalent to a resistor charging capacitors C4 and C5.

[0034] Furthermore, the control module includes a voltage comparator U1, a controller, a switching transistor Q3, resistors R4, R5, and R6, and a capacitor C6, wherein...

[0035] The first output end of the controller is connected with the second electrode of the switch tube Q3, the second electrode of the switch tube Q3 is connected with the power supply voltage VCC, the first electrode of the switch tube Q3 is connected with one end of the resistor R6 and the non-inverting input end of the voltage comparator U1 through the resistor R5, the other end of the resistor R6 is grounded, and the capacitor C6 is connected with the resistor R6 in parallel;

[0036] The non-inverting input end of the voltage comparator U1 is connected with one end of the resistor R2 and the first electrode of the MOSFET tube Q2, and the output end of the voltage comparator U1 is connected with the second electrode of the MOSFET tube Q2 through the resistor R4. The power supply end of the voltage comparator U1 is connected with the power supply voltage VCC, and the grounding end of the voltage comparator U1 is grounded.

[0037] In the embodiment, the controller is a PFC (Power Factor Correction) controller, and the switch tube Q3 is an NPN type triode. For the triode, the first electrode is the emitter, the second electrode is the base, and the third electrode is the collector. In the specific implementation, the switch tube Q3 can also be other power devices with switching function.

[0038] The controller outputs the first control voltage through the first output end to control the conduction state of the switch tube Q3. When the switch tube Q3 is turned on, the power supply voltage VCC is divided by the resistor R5 and the resistor R6 to form the reference voltage Vcoms. The reference voltage Vcoms is slowly loaded to the non-inverting input end of the voltage comparator U1 under the action of the RC delay circuit composed of the resistor R5 and the capacitor C6, and is compared with the sampling voltage Vs loaded to the inverting input end of the voltage comparator U1, so as to control the gate voltage of the MOSFET tube Q2.

[0039] Specifically, when Vcoms>Vs, the voltage comparator U1 outputs the high level voltage (VCC) to load to the gate of the MOSFET tube Q2, so as to increase the Vgs of the MOSFET tube Q2, enhance the conduction ability, increase the source current, and increase Vs. When Vcoms<Vs, the voltage comparator U1 outputs the low level voltage (0V) to load to the gate of the MOSFET tube Q2, so as to reduce the Vgs of the MOSFET tube Q2, reduce the source current, and reduce Vs. Through the control module, the MOSFET tube Q2 can work in the variable resistance region, and the current flowing through the MOSFET tube Q2 is limited, so that the current meets the specification requirements of the safe operating area (SOA).

[0040] Further, the power supply circuit comprises a switch tube Q1, a diode D1, an inductor L1, a capacitor C3 and a resistor R3, a first electrode of the switch tube Q1 is grounded, a second electrode of the switch tube Q1 is connected with a second output terminal of the controller through the resistor R3, a third electrode of the switch tube Q1 is connected with an anode of the diode D1, a cathode of the diode D1 is connected with one end of a capacitor C4 and a capacitor C5. One end of the capacitor C3 is connected with the third electrode of the switch tube Q1 through the inductor L1, the other end of the capacitor C3 is grounded.

[0041] In the embodiment, the switch tube Q1 is an NMOS tube, for the NMOS tube, the first electrode of the switch tube Q1 is a source, the second electrode of the switch tube Q1 is a gate, and the third electrode of the switch tube Q1 is a drain. The capacitor C3, the switch tube Q1, the inductor L1, the capacitor C4, the capacitor C5 and the diode D1 form a boost circuit, the controller outputs a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to the gate of the switch tube Q1 to control the switch tube Q1 to alternately and repeatedly turn on and turn off, so that the boost circuit realizes the boost function.

[0042] Further, the power supply circuit further comprises a rectifier module and an input module, the rectifier module comprises a diode D2, a diode D3, a diode D4 and a diode D5, wherein,

[0043] The cathode of the diode D2 is connected with the cathode of the diode D3 and one end of the inductor L1, the anode of the diode D3 is connected with the cathode of the diode D5, the anode of the diode D5 is connected with the anode of the diode D4 and the first electrode of the switch tube Q1, and the cathode of the diode D4 is connected with the anode of the diode D2.

[0044] The input module comprises a capacitor C1, a capacitor C2, a fuse F1 and a common mode choke T1, wherein a first output terminal of the common mode choke T1 is connected with the anode of the diode D2 and the cathode of the diode D4, a second output terminal of the common mode choke T1 is connected with the anode of the diode D3 and the cathode of the diode D5, a first input terminal of the common mode choke T1 is connected with a second input terminal through the capacitor C1, and a first output terminal of the common mode choke T1 is connected with a second output terminal through the capacitor C2. One end of the fuse F1 is connected with one end of the capacitor C1 and the first input terminal of the common mode choke T1.

[0045] When the power supply circuit works, the alternating current input voltage is loaded on the capacitor C1 through the fuse F1, and is loaded on the rectifier bridge formed by the rectifier module through the common mode choke T1, and the alternating current input voltage is converted into a direct current input voltage by the rectifier bridge and is input to the boost circuit for boosting. The fuse F1 is used for current limiting protection, and the common mode choke T1 is used for suppressing electromagnetic interference.
