[0022] The specific embodiments of the present application have been shown by the above drawings, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. These drawings and the written description are not intended to restrict the scope of the present application in any way, but to explain the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or a chronological sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0025] A photovoltaic inverter is the core equipment of a solar power generation system, undertakes the key task of converting direct current generated by photovoltaic modules into alternating current, and has functions such as maximum power point tracking, system protection and intelligent control, and is the key to stable operation of a photovoltaic system.

[0026] In a specific implementation, a photovoltaic inverter realizes power conversion through a boost circuit and an inverter bridge circuit. The boost circuit boosts low-voltage direct current output by photovoltaic modules to high-voltage direct current required for inversion; the inverter bridge circuit uses high-frequency pulse width modulation technology to convert the boosted direct current into alternating current close to a sine wave. This process involves accurate control of power electronic switches, and through the fast on-off of switching elements, a pulse train is formed, and then smoothed by a filter to form stable alternating current, ensuring the stability and waveform quality of the output voltage.

[0027] More specifically, the display screen of the photovoltaic inverter needs to display the power generation time, power parameters and other information in real time in some cases to ensure that the user accurately monitors the system operation state. Among them, the display screen circuit can not only display the accurate time for the user at the moment, but also provide the current time to the control chip of the photovoltaic inverter after the photovoltaic inverter is powered on again, so that it can be connected to the power grid within the pre-set time period. Especially for the area not connected to the network, if the time obtained by the inverter deviates from the local time, the grid connection operation is performed in the time period not allowed to be connected to the grid, which will cause loss to the customer.

[0028] For example, Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the photovoltaic inverter provided in the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 The photovoltaic inverter 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a real-time clock 10. The real-time clock 10 can be used to provide a clock signal, so that the display screen in the photovoltaic inverter 1 displays time based on the clock signal or other devices perform relevant synchronization operations based on the clock signal, etc.

[0029] In the prior art, the real-time clock 10 in the photovoltaic inverter 1 usually uses a 3.3V direct current voltage as the main power supply and a CR2032 lithium-manganese battery or other button cell as the power-off backup power supply. Among them, when the main power supply is normally working, the real-time clock is directly powered by the main power supply, and when the main power supply is powered off, the button cell supplies power to the clock circuit to maintain its operation.

[0030] However, since the service life of the button cell is limited, it needs to be replaced regularly during the long-term operation of the photovoltaic inverter, which greatly increases the maintenance cost of the photovoltaic inverter, especially in remote areas or large photovoltaic power stations, the operation cost is significantly increased.

[0031] Based on this, the present application provides a real-time clock for a display screen circuit of a photovoltaic inverter and a photovoltaic inverter, which can be used to reduce the operation and maintenance complexity and economic cost of the real-time clock in the photovoltaic inverter. The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0032] Figure 2 The structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the real-time clock provided in the present application is shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2 The real-time clock shown in FIG. 2 can be applied to the display screen circuit of the photovoltaic inverter 1 shown in FIG. 1, specifically, the real-time clock 10 shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 Figure 2 The real-time clock 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes:

[0033] The clock signal generation circuit 100 is used to provide a real-time clock signal. In an embodiment, the clock signal generation circuit 100 can be a low-power clock signal generation circuit such as DS1302, etc.​

[0034] The main power supply 101 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100. In one embodiment, the main power supply 101 can be used to provide a direct current voltage of 3.3V.

[0035] The backup power supply circuit 102 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 in place of the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off.

[0036] The crystal oscillator module 103 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for providing a time reference signal to the clock signal generation circuit 100.

[0037] The filter module 104 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for filtering the current input to the clock signal generation circuit 100.

[0038] Further, Figure 3 The backup power supply circuit 102 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 in place of the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off. Figure 3 The backup power supply circuit 102 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 in place of the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off. Figure 2 The backup power supply circuit 102 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 in place of the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off. Figure 3 The backup power supply circuit 102 is connected to the clock signal generation circuit 100 for supplying power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 in place of the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off.

[0039] The energy storage module 1021 is used to store energy. In one embodiment, the energy storage module 1021 can be a super capacitor C60, and specifically a super capacitor C60 with a capacitance of 0.1-0.2F. Alternatively, the energy storage module can also be a battery.

[0040] The reverse prevention module 1022 is connected between the main power supply 101 and the energy storage module 1021, and the main power supply 101 charges the energy storage module 1021 through the reverse prevention module 1022, and the energy storage module 1021 is prevented from discharging to the main power supply 101.

[0041] The current limiting module 1023 is connected between the energy storage module 1021 and the clock signal generation circuit 100, and is located between the reverse prevention module 1022 and the energy storage module 1021. The energy storage module 1021 supplies power to the clock signal generation circuit 100 through the current limiting module 1023, and the main power supply 101 charges the energy storage module 1021 through the current limiting module 1023. The current limiting module 1023 can be used to limit the size of the current output by the energy storage module 1021 to the clock signal generation circuit 100, to prevent the clock signal generation circuit 100 from being damaged by overcurrent, and to limit the size of the current input by the main power supply 101 to the energy storage module 1021 when the main power supply 101 charges the energy storage module 1021, to prevent the energy storage module 1021 from being damaged by overcurrent.

[0042] It can be understood that when the main power supply 101 is normally powered, the main power supply 101 can simultaneously supply power for the clock signal generation circuit 100 and charge the energy storage module 1021. Even if the energy storage module 1021 is exhausted after the device is powered off for a long time, the energy storage module 1021 can be charged again when the main power supply 101 is powered on next time.

[0043] In summary, the real-time clock 10 applicable to the photovoltaic inverter 1 provided in the application supplies power for the clock signal generation circuit 100 in the case that the main power supply 101 is powered off through the energy storage module 1021, and the main power supply 101 can also charge the energy storage module 1021. Since the cycle life of the energy storage module 1021 is relatively long, the energy storage module 1021 does not need to be frequently replaced, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance complexity and economic cost of the real-time clock 10 in the photovoltaic inverter 1 in the case that the real-time clock 10 is continuously powered and normally works.

[0044] Further, when the energy storage module 1021 is a super capacitor, the working temperature range is larger, which can be more suitable for extreme environments, so that the real-time clock 10 and the photovoltaic inverter 1 where the real-time clock 10 is located have stronger stability and safety, and can be applied to more scenes.

[0045] Figure 4 The circuit structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the real-time clock provided in the application is as shown in Figure 4 It is shown that Figure 2 The real-time clock 10 provided in the application is one specific circuit implementation manner, and the circuit structure of the real-time clock provided in the embodiment will be described below. Figure 4 The circuit structure of the real-time clock provided in the embodiment will be described below.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4 The clock signal generation circuit 100 includes a real-time clock chip, which is marked as U15 and includes eight pins, which are a first pin, a second pin, a third pin, a fourth pin, a fifth pin, a sixth pin, a seventh pin and an eighth pin in sequence. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first pin is marked as 1, the second pin is marked as 2, the third pin is marked as 3, the fourth pin is marked as 4, the fifth pin is marked as 5, the sixth pin is marked as 6, the seventh pin is marked as 7 and the eighth pin is marked as 8. Among them:

[0047] The first pin is used for connecting the main power supply 101 and receiving direct current provided by the main power supply 101, and the voltage range of the direct current is 2-5V.

[0048] The second pin and the third pin are used for receiving a time reference signal, wherein the time reference signal is a stable oscillation frequency, and the oscillation frequency is provided by a crystal oscillator Y2. The parallel connection of a resistor on the crystal oscillator Y2 can ensure the oscillation of the crystal oscillator, thereby improving the start-up reliability of the circuit when the circuit is powered on and different power supplies are switched.

[0049] The fourth pin is used to connect to the reference ground (GND).

[0050] Pin 5 is used to receive the reset signal RST.

[0051] The sixth pin is an input / output (I / O) interface used for data transmission. The MCU can send a read time command to the clock signal generation circuit 100 through the sixth pin. The clock signal generation circuit 100 can also send real-time time to the microcontroller through the sixth pin.

[0052] Pin 7 is used to input the clock signal SCLK, which indicates the current real-time time. In one specific implementation, the clock signal generation circuit 100 reads data based on the rising edge of the clock signal SCLK pulse and sends data on the falling edge of the pulse.

[0053] The eighth pin is used to connect to the backup power supply circuit 102 and receive DC power from the supercapacitor C60, which serves as the energy storage module 1021 in the backup power supply circuit 102.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 In the backup power supply circuit 102 of the real-time clock 10 shown, the anti-reverse module 1022 includes: a diode D26, which is forward connected between the main power supply 101 and the energy storage module 1021. The anti-reverse module 1022 is used to prevent the energy storage module 1021 from discharging to the main power supply 101. In this embodiment, the energy storage module 1021 is a supercapacitor C60.

[0055] Diode D26 is used to prevent the current of the energy storage module 1021 from flowing back to the main power supply 101 when the main power supply 101 is powered off, ensuring the unidirectionality and stability of the backup power supply circuit 102. The unidirectional conduction characteristic of diode D26 optimizes the reliability of the power transmission path in the real-time clock 10.

[0056] For example, the diode D26 in the anti-reverse module 100 can specifically be a BAT54S Schottky diode. The BAT54S Schottky diode has a small voltage drop and low leakage current when conducting, resulting in less loss compared to traditional diodes. Combined with... Figure 4 In the example shown, one end of diode D26 is connected to main power supply 101 through resistor R68 to receive a DC voltage of 3.3V provided by main power supply 101, and the other end of diode D26 is connected to the eighth pin of the real-time clock chip.

[0057] When the main power supply 101 is normally powered, the voltage provided by the main power supply 101 is direct current of 3.3V, which is charged to the energy storage module 1021 through the diode D26; when the main power supply 101 is powered off and cannot normally supply power, the voltage provided by the energy storage module 1021 cannot be output to the side of the main power supply 101 in reverse through the diode D26.

[0058] In an embodiment, as shown in the standby power supply power supply circuit 102 of the real-time clock 10, the current limiting module 1023 includes at least one current limiting resistor R69 connected between the energy storage module 1021 and the clock signal generation circuit and located between the anti-reverse module 1022 and the energy storage module 1021, for limiting the current output by the energy storage module 1021 and limiting the current input to the energy storage module 1021 by the main power supply 101. Figure 4

[0059] For example, as shown in the current limiting module 1023, it includes a current limiting resistor R69, one end of the current limiting resistor R69 is connected to the energy storage module 1021, the other end is connected to the eighth pin of the real-time clock chip, and the current limiting resistor R69 is connected in series between the diode D26 and the energy storage module 1021. In this embodiment, the energy storage module 1021 is a super capacitor C60. For another example, the current limiting module 1023 can also include a plurality of current limiting resistors R69 connected in parallel. Figure 4

[0060] In an embodiment, as shown in the real-time clock 10, the real-time clock 10 further includes a crystal oscillator module for providing a time reference signal to the clock signal generation circuit 100, and the time reference signal is a stable oscillation frequency. Figure 4

[0061] For example, as shown in the standby power supply power supply circuit 102 of the real-time clock 10, the crystal oscillator module includes a crystal oscillator Y2, a second capacitor C20 and a third capacitor C21, the crystal oscillator Y2 has two ends connected to the second pin and the third pin respectively, and the crystal oscillator Y2 provides a stable time reference signal to the clock signal generation circuit 100, so that the clock signal generation circuit 100 can be used to realize the function of real-time clocking. The second capacitor C20 has one end connected to one end of the crystal oscillator Y2, and the other end of the second capacitor C20 is grounded; the third capacitor C21 has one end connected to the other end of the crystal oscillator Y2, and the other end of the third capacitor C21 is grounded. The second capacitor C20 and the third capacitor C21 mainly function to form an oscillation loop with the crystal oscillator Y2 in the circuit, so as to stabilize the oscillation frequency and ensure the reliable work of the crystal oscillator Y2. Figure 4 The filter module 104 includes a first capacitor C51, one end of the first capacitor C51 is connected to the connection point of the current limiting resistor R69 and the eighth pin, and the other end is grounded. The filter module 104 is used for filtering the current input to the clock signal generation circuit.

[0062]

[0063] ​​​​The main power supply 101 is connected to the first pin of the real-time clock chip, and the connection point of the main power supply 101 and the first pin is connected to the fourth capacitor C19 and then grounded, and the fourth pin of the real-time clock chip is grounded.

[0064] The fourth capacitor C19 has the function of storing energy, and can provide temporary power for a period of time when the main power supply 101 is powered off, ensuring that the real-time clock chip continues to operate.

[0066] The display module 12 extracts the time in the display control signal, converts it into a display string, controls the dot display on the liquid crystal display screen, and thus displays the real-time time on the liquid crystal panel.

[0068] In an embodiment, the master control module 11 is a microcontroller, which is responsible for processing display data, managing interface communication and coordinating display operation. The microcontroller controls the start and stop of the action of the real-time clock chip through the fifth pin, and the instructions of the sixth pin and the seventh pin are activated only when the fifth pin is pulled high. The microcontroller sends a command byte to the real-time clock chip through the sixth pin to determine whether the data is written into the real-time clock chip or read from the real-time clock chip.
