[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes the pre-charge and discharge circuit of the bus capacitor in an energy storage converter.

[0035] likeFigures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a bus capacitor pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 for an energy storage converter, including: a capacitor, a first resistor 101, a first pre-charge relay 102, a second pre-charge relay 103, and a first discharge relay 104. The capacitor is connected in parallel with the input terminal of the inverter. The first terminal of the capacitor is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor 101, and the second terminal of the first resistor 101 is connected to the first terminal of the first pre-charge relay 102. The second terminal of the first pre-charge relay 102 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. The second terminal of the capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply through the second pre-charge relay 103. The second terminal of the capacitor is also connected to the second terminal of the first resistor 101 through the first discharge relay 104.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first terminal of the capacitor is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply via a first resistor 101 and a first pre-charge relay 102, and the second terminal of the capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply via a second pre-charge relay 103. It can be understood that the first and second terminals of the first pre-charge relay 102 can switch between an on and off state to control the continuity of the circuit between the power supply and the first resistor 101; similarly, the first and second terminals of the second pre-charge relay 103 can switch between an on and off state to control the continuity of the circuit between the power supply and the capacitor. When both the first and second pre-charge relays 102 and 103 are on, the power supply, the first pre-charge relay 102, the first resistor 101, the capacitor, the second pre-charge relay 103, and the first discharge relay 104 can be connected in series to form a pre-charge circuit (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (as shown by the thick solid line with arrows) so that the capacitor can be pre-charged through the first resistor 101.

[0037] Simultaneously, by sequentially connecting the second terminal of the capacitor, the second terminal of the first discharge relay 104, and the second terminal of the first discharge relay 104, the first and second terminals of the first discharge relay 104 can switch between an on and off state to control the continuity of the circuit between the second terminal of the capacitor and the first resistor 101. When both the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103 are off, and the first discharge relay 104 is on, the capacitor, the first discharge relay 104, and the first resistor 101 can be connected in series to form a discharge circuit (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown by the thick solid line with arrows), so that the capacitor can discharge through the first resistor 101. It is understood that when the capacitor needs to be pre-charged, the first and second terminals of the first discharge relay 104 need to be switched to the off state to avoid short circuit.

[0038] The energy storage converter bus capacitor pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 of this invention forms a pre-charge circuit by sequentially connecting a power supply, a first pre-charge relay 102, a first resistor 101, a capacitor, a second pre-charge relay 103, and a first discharge relay 104 in series. When the pre-charge circuit is activated, the capacitor is charged through the power supply and the first resistor 101. Simultaneously, the second terminal of the capacitor, the second terminal of the first discharge relay 104, and the second terminal of the first resistor 101 are sequentially connected, forming a discharge circuit. When the discharge circuit is activated, the capacitor is discharged through the first resistor 101. The first pre-charge relay 102, the second pre-charge relay 103, and the first discharge relay 104 cooperate to switch between the discharge circuit and the pre-charge circuit. As can be seen from the above, the energy storage converter bus capacitor precharge and discharge circuit 100 of this utility model, through the cooperative connection and switching of the capacitor, the first resistor 101, the first precharge relay 102, the second precharge relay 103 and the first discharge relay 104, enables both precharge and discharge to be carried out through the first resistor 101, reducing the number of resistors required for the capacitor precharge and discharge circuits, and effectively solving the defects of large size and high cost of precharge resistors and discharge resistors in the prior art.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 of the energy storage converter bus capacitor also includes a first fuse 105, and the first end of the capacitor is connected to the first resistor 101 through the first fuse 105.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first fuse 105 is provided between the capacitor and the first resistor 101. The first fuse 105 is used to melt after the pre-charge circuit or discharge circuit is connected and the current in the circuit exceeds a specified value for a period of time, so as to avoid excessive current in the circuit and damage to various components.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the energy storage converter bus capacitor pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 also includes a second resistor 106 and a second discharge relay 107. The capacitors include a first capacitor 108 and a second capacitor 109 connected in series. The first terminal of the first capacitor 108 is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor 101. The second terminal of the first capacitor 108 is connected to the first terminal of the second capacitor 109, the second terminal of the second capacitor 109 is connected to the first terminal of the second resistor 106, and the second terminal of the second resistor 106 is connected to the first terminal of the second pre-charge relay 103. The second terminal of the second pre-charge relay 103 is used to connect to the negative terminal of the power supply. The second terminal of the first capacitor 108 is also connected to the second terminal of the first resistor 101 through a first discharge relay 104. The first terminal of the second capacitor 109 is also connected to the second terminal of the second resistor 106 through the second discharge relay 107.

[0042] In this embodiment, by setting the capacitors as a first capacitor 108 and a second capacitor 109 connected in series, the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109 can cooperate with other components to form their respective pre-charge circuits and discharge circuits, so as to pre-charge and discharge the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109.

[0043] Specifically, the positive terminal of the power supply, the first pre-charge relay 102, the first resistor 101, the first capacitor 108, the second capacitor 109, the second resistor 106, the second pre-charge relay 103, and the negative terminal of the power supply are connected in series to form a pre-charge circuit (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown by the thick solid line with arrows in the middle), when the first precharge relay 102 and the second precharge relay 103 are kept on, the precharge circuit can precharge the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109 through the first resistor 101 and the second resistor 106.

[0044] Simultaneously, by sequentially connecting the second terminal of the first capacitor 108, the first discharge relay 104, and the second terminal of the first resistor 101, the first capacitor 108, the first discharge relay 104, and the first resistor 101 are connected in series to form the discharge circuit of the first capacitor 108 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown by the thick solid line with arrows in the middle), when the first precharge relay 102 and the second precharge relay 103 are disconnected and the first discharge relay 104 is connected, the discharge circuit can discharge the first capacitor 108 through the first resistor 101.

[0045] Similarly, the first terminal of the second capacitor 109, the second discharge relay 107, and the second terminal of the second resistor 106 are connected in sequence, so that the second capacitor 109, the second discharge relay 107, and the second resistor 106 are connected in series to form the discharge circuit of the second capacitor 109 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown by the thick solid line with arrows in the middle), when the first precharge relay 102 and the second precharge relay 103 are disconnected and the second discharge relay 107 is connected, the discharge circuit can discharge the second capacitor 109 through the second resistor 106.

[0046] It is understood that in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 of the energy storage converter bus capacitor also includes a second fuse 110, and the second terminal of the second capacitor 109 is connected to the second resistor 106 through the second fuse 110.

[0047] In this embodiment, a second fuse 110 is provided between the second capacitor 109 and the second resistor 106. The second fuse 110 is used to melt after the pre-charging circuit or the discharge circuit of the second capacitor 109 is connected and the current in the circuit exceeds a specified value for a period of time, so as to avoid excessive current in the circuit and damage to various components.

[0048] It is understandable that a first fuse 105 can be provided between the first terminal of the first capacitor 108 and the first resistor 101.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, there are multiple first capacitors 108 and multiple second capacitors 109. Multiple first capacitors 108 are connected in parallel, and multiple second capacitors 109 are connected in parallel.

[0050] In this embodiment, by connecting multiple first capacitors 108 in parallel and multiple second capacitors 109 in parallel, the pre-charging circuit can simultaneously pre-charge all first capacitors 108 and all second capacitors 109 when it is turned on. When the discharge circuit of the first capacitor 108 is turned on, it can simultaneously discharge all first capacitors 108, and when the discharge circuit of the second capacitor 109 is turned on, it can simultaneously discharge all second capacitors 109.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pre-charge discharge circuit 100 of the energy storage converter bus capacitor also includes a first disconnect switch 111 and a second disconnect switch 112. The first terminal of the first disconnect switch 111 is connected to the second terminal of the first pre-charge relay 102, and the second terminal of the first disconnect switch 111 is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor 101. The first terminal of the second disconnect switch 112 is connected to the second terminal of the second pre-charge relay 103, and the second terminal of the second disconnect switch 112 is connected to the first terminal of the second resistor 106.

[0052] In this embodiment, by connecting the two ends of the first disconnect switch 111 to the second end of the first pre-charge relay 102 and the first end of the first resistor 101 respectively, that is, by connecting the two ends of the first disconnect switch 111 to the positive terminal of the power supply and the first end of the first capacitor 108 respectively, when the first disconnect switch 111 is closed, the positive terminal of the power supply is directly connected to the first end of the first capacitor 108. Similarly, when the second disconnect switch 112 is closed, the negative terminal of the power supply is directly connected to the second end of the second capacitor 109, so that the power supply can supply power to the input terminal of the inverter through the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109. At the same time, when the first disconnect switch 111 and the second disconnect switch 112 are open, the power supply is not directly connected to the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109, and it will not affect the pre-charge circuit and the discharge circuit. The user can still pre-charge and discharge the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109 through the first pre-charge relay 102, the second pre-charge relay 103, the first discharge relay 104 and the second discharge relay 107.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first disconnecting switch 111 and the second disconnecting switch 112 are interlocked switches, so that the first disconnecting switch 111 and the second disconnecting switch 112 are closed or opened simultaneously.

[0054] In this embodiment, by interlocking the first disconnect switch 111 and the second disconnect switch 112, the closed or open states of the first disconnect switch 111 and the second disconnect switch 112 can be kept consistent, so that the user can operate when turning the inverter on and off.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pre-charge and discharge circuit 100 of the energy storage converter bus capacitor also includes a control circuit 200. The control circuit 200 includes a control power supply 201, a pre-charge intermediate relay 202, and a discharge intermediate relay 203. The control terminals of the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103 are connected in parallel to form a first control group. The control power supply 201, the pre-charge intermediate relay 202, and the first control group are connected in series to form a first control loop. The control terminals of the first discharge relay 104 and the second discharge relay 107 are connected in parallel to form a second control group. The control power supply 201, the discharge intermediate relay 203, and the second control group are connected in series to form a second control loop.

[0056] In this embodiment, a first control group is formed by connecting the control terminals of the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103 in parallel to synchronously control the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103. It is understood that by switching the control terminals of the relays on and off, the position of the moving contact of the relay can be controlled, so that the moving contact connects with the normally open or normally closed contact, thereby controlling the on / off state of the corresponding circuit. The control power supply 201, the pre-charge intermediate relay 202, and the first control group are connected in series to form a first control circuit. The pre-charge intermediate relay 202 is used to control the on / off state of the first control circuit, thereby achieving synchronous control of the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103, so that the pre-charge circuit is turned on or off. Similarly, the discharge intermediate relay 203 is used to control the on / off state of the second control circuit, thereby achieving synchronous control of the first discharge relay 104 and the second discharge relay 107, so that the discharge circuit is turned on or off.

[0057] In some embodiments, the precharge intermediate relay 202 is provided with two first normally closed contacts 2021, two first normally open contacts 2022 and a first moving contact (not shown in the figure). The two first normally closed contacts 2021 are disposed in the second control circuit, the two first normally open contacts 2022 are disposed in the first control circuit, and the first moving contact is used to selectively conduct the two first normally closed contacts 2021 or the two first normally open contacts 2022.

[0058] In this embodiment, the two first normally closed contacts 2021 of the pre-charge intermediate relay 202 are used to cooperate with the discharge intermediate relay 203 to control the conduction of the second control circuit; the two first normally open contacts 2022 are used to control the conduction of the first control circuit. The first moving contact of the pre-charge intermediate relay 202 can move between the first normally closed contact 2021 and the first normally open contact 2022 under the control of its own control circuit. When the first moving contact moves between the two first normally open contacts 2022, the two first normally open contacts 2022 conduct, thereby conducting the first control circuit, which in turn controls the first pre-charge relay 102 and the second pre-charge relay 103 to conduct the pre-charge circuit, so as to pre-charge the capacitor. Furthermore, since the first moving contact can only conduct one pair of contacts at a time, it avoids the first control circuit and the second control circuit from conducting simultaneously, thereby avoiding the simultaneous conduction of the pre-charge circuit and the discharge circuit, which could cause a short circuit fault.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the discharge intermediate relay 203 is provided with two second normally closed contacts 2031, two second normally open contacts 2032, and a second moving contact. The two second normally closed contacts 2031 are disposed in the first control circuit, the two second normally open contacts 2032 are disposed in the second control circuit, and the second moving contact is used to selectively conduct the two second normally closed contacts 2031 or the two second normally open contacts 2032.

[0060] In this embodiment, the two second normally closed contacts 2031 of the discharge intermediate relay 203 are used to cooperate with the two first normally open contacts 2022 of the precharge intermediate relay 202 to control the conduction of the first control circuit, and the two second normally open contacts 2032 are used to cooperate with the two first normally closed contacts 2021 of the precharge intermediate relay 202 to control the conduction of the second control circuit. The second moving contact of the discharge intermediate relay 203 can move between the second normally closed contact 2031 and the second normally open contact 2032 under the control of its own control terminal circuit. When the second moving contact moves between the two second normally open contacts 2032, the two second normally open contacts 2032 are turned on. When the precharge intermediate relay 202 is not triggered and its first normally closed contact 2021 remains on, the second control circuit is turned on, thereby controlling the first discharge relay 104 and the second discharge relay 107 to turn on the two discharge circuits so as to discharge the first capacitor 108 and the second capacitor 109 respectively. In addition, since the second moving contact can only conduct one pair of contacts at a time, it avoids the first control circuit and the second control circuit from conducting simultaneously, thereby avoiding the pre-charge circuit and the discharge circuit from conducting simultaneously and causing a short circuit fault.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
