Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical control systems for engineering machinery and three-phase bridge rectifiers, and in particular to a three-phase bridge PWM controllable rectifier suitable for high-power bulldozers. Background Technology

[0002] In electrical topologies, rectifier circuits are a crucial component of power conversion systems. Traditional rectifier circuits primarily rely on uncontrolled rectifier modules composed of power diodes, such as a bridge circuit using three diode modules for uncontrolled rectification. While this method is relatively simple in structure and low in cost, it suffers from significant drawbacks: the output voltage is fixed and determined solely by the generator voltage; the DC voltage waveform fluctuates greatly, significantly impacting the AC power grid; the power factor is uncontrollable; and there is some pulsation. These problems are particularly pronounced under harsh environmental conditions, affecting not only grid stability and the normal operation of other equipment but also significantly shortening the lifespan of electrical components.

[0003] A three-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) rectifier circuit is an electronic device used for power conversion and control, primarily converting three-phase alternating current (AC) into controllable direct current (DC). The three-phase PWM rectifier circuit utilizes a three-phase bridge rectifier and PWM control technology: the three-phase bridge rectifier consists of six controllable IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), each connected to one of the three phases of the three-phase AC power supply; through appropriate control and adjustment, the rectifier's switching operation is achieved, thereby converting the three-phase AC power into controllable DC power. Therefore, the three-phase PWM controllable rectifier, with almost no additional hardware, can achieve bidirectional energy flow, realize rectification functions, stabilize DC voltage, and significantly suppress the generation and injection of harmonic currents into the AC power grid, reducing pollution to the grid.

[0004] Therefore, applying a three-phase PWM controllable rectifier to the bulldozer electronic control system for controllable rectification can stabilize the output DC voltage and adjust the output voltage value in real time according to load requirements, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the bulldozer electronic control system.

[0011] The circuit is controlled by a three-phase bridge PWM controllable rectifier circuit, which generates a sinusoidal PWM voltage at the AC input terminal of the rectifier bridge, controls the voltage of each phase, and obtains the sinusoidal current of each phase.

[0012] Preferably, there are two AC input voltage sensors, which are connected in parallel between the U-phase and V-phase input buses and the V-phase and W-phase input buses, respectively, to detect the AC input bus voltage and control the closed-loop feedback of the input voltage.

[0013] Preferably, there are two AC input current sensors, which are set after the AC input voltage sensor and connected in series with the U-phase and V-phase input buses respectively, to detect the AC input bus current and control the input current closed-loop feedback.
