Description

A vehicle-mounted power supply pre-charging circuit, device and vehicle Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply charging, and in particular to a vehicle power supply pre-charging circuit. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern science and technology, the voltage of power batteries for new energy vehicles is getting higher and higher. Currently, the mainstream is the 400V platform, and it is gradually transitioning to the 800V platform. As an important energy conversion part of the new energy vehicle system, the high stability and reliability of the on-board charging power supply directly affect the performance of the entire new energy vehicle system. Especially in the field of electric vehicles, the stability of its system operation directly affects the power system of new energy vehicles.

[0003] To accommodate a shared AC / DC charging interface, the on-board charger must operate at an 800V platform. When the input interface detects DC power, the internal detection circuit disconnects the main power circuit from the DC input, failing to meet the charging requirements. Conversely, when the input interface detects AC power, the internal detection circuit connects the main power circuit to the AC input, thus fulfilling the charging requirement. Because the vehicle current is converted from AC to DC, the power factor must meet power standards. Furthermore, the on-board charger has a high output power, requiring high voltage, high current, and high power during charging. Therefore, a soft start is necessary to achieve operational status during initial startup.

[0004] Commercially available systems typically use single-phase or three-phase power input with a current-limiting resistor connected in series. The pulsating DC voltage, rectified by the internal diodes of the MOSFETs in the full-bridge PFC circuit, is then filtered by electrolytic and film capacitors to obtain a stable DC voltage. This DC voltage is sampled and detected by a voltage detection circuit. When the voltage reaches a certain value, a relay short-circuites the current-limiting resistor, allowing the single-phase or three-phase power to directly connect to the full-bridge PFC circuit, supplying power to the on-board charger and providing startup protection for the on-board charger system. However, when the on-board power input interface is adapted to use a shared AC / DC interface, it adds the input interface and internal main power input circuit switch—a relay. Simultaneously, it must also meet the on-board power supply pre-charging function, requiring two relays and a current-limiting resistor for single-phase input. This not only increases cost and size but also introduces issues such as arcing under load in case of failure. Summary of the Invention

A current-limiting resistor is connected in parallel across the two ends of the second relay K2.

[0032] The PFC control unit 40 includes a first MOS switch Q1, a second MOS switch Q2, a third MOS switch Q3, and a fourth MOS switch Q4. The first MOS switch Q1 and the third MOS switch Q3 are connected in series to form a first circuit, and the second MOS switch Q2 and the fourth MOS switch Q4 are connected in series to form a second circuit.

[0033] In this application, the live wire L is connected to the first normally open contact of the first relay K1, the second normally open contact of the first relay K1 is connected to pin 1 of the charging inductor L1, pin 2 of the charging inductor L1 is connected to the D terminal (first connection terminal) of the PFC control unit 40, the H terminal (second connection terminal) of the PFC control unit 40 is connected to pin 1 of the first electrolytic capacitor C1, pin 2 of the first electrolytic capacitor C1 is connected to pin 1 of the second electrolytic capacitor C2, pin 2 of the second electrolytic capacitor C2 is connected to pin 1 of the current-limiting inductor L2, pin 2 of the current-limiting inductor L2 is connected to the fourth normally open contact of the second relay K2, the third normally open contact 1 of the second relay K2 is connected to the G terminal (third connection terminal) of the PFC control unit 40, a current-limiting resistor is connected in parallel across the two normally open contacts of the second relay K2, pin 2 of the current-limiting inductor L2 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1, and the anode of the diode D1 is connected to the second voltage detection unit 30.

[0034] Control switches S1 and S2 are controlled by the MCU control unit 10, thereby controlling the activation of K1 and K2. The first voltage detection unit 20 detects the voltage between the first normally open contact and the second normally open contact of the first relay K1 and the neutral line N, and reports it to the MCU control unit 10. The MCU control unit 10 determines whether the input is DC voltage or AC voltage. When it is determined to be DC voltage, the MCU control unit 10 enables the control switch S1 to be at a low level, and the first relay K1 is not activated.

[0035] When the voltage is determined to be AC, the MCU control unit 10 enables the control switch S1 to go high, and the first relay K1 is energized. The second voltage detection unit 30 detects the output voltage at point H of the PFC control unit 40 and reports it to the MCU control unit 10. The MCU control unit 10 determines when to enable the control switch S2 to go high, thereby controlling the energization of the second relay K2. By detecting the voltage change at the anode of diode D1, the MCU determines whether the second relay K2 is fully energized, thus realizing the vehicle power supply pre-charging function.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the first relay K1 and the second relay K2 can be of model HF115KF-T / 12-HS3T.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1. After the vehicle power input interface is connected to the system power supply, the voltage between point A and point C is detected by the first voltage detection unit 20 and reported to the MCU control unit 10. The MCU control unit 10 determines whether the system power supply is DC voltage or AC voltage. When it detects and determines that it is DC voltage, it executes the instruction to keep the first relay K1 inactive. That is, when it is determined to be DC voltage, the MCU control unit 10 enables the control switch S1 to be low level, and the first relay K1 is not energized. When it detects and determines that it is AC voltage, it executes the instruction to activate the second relay K2. When it is determined to be AC ​​voltage, the MCU control unit 10 enables the control switch S1 to be high level, and the first relay K1 is energized.

[0038] After the first relay K1 is energized, the AC voltage passes through the charging inductor L1, the internal diode D1 of the PFC control unit 40, and the rectified voltage passes through the electrolytic capacitor, the current-limiting inductor L2, and the current-limiting resistor to complete the primary pre-charge voltage of the bus PFC, which is 1.414 times the input AC voltage. The second voltage detection unit 30 detects the output voltage at point H of the PFC control unit 40 and reports it to the MCU control unit 10. The MCU control unit 10 determines when to enable the control switch S2 to be high, thereby controlling the energization of the second relay K2. When the second relay K2 is energized, the MCU control unit 10 turns on the internal MOS transistor of the PFC control unit 40 and charges the bus electrolytic capacitor with constant current. When the bus PFC voltage approaches 800V, the MCU changes the internal logic control mechanism to charge the bus electrolytic capacitor with constant voltage.

[0039] The MCU determines whether the second relay K2 is fully engaged by detecting the change in the anode level of diode D1. The first voltage detection unit 20 detects that the voltage difference between AC and BC is less than a certain value within a certain time, which determines whether the first relay K1 is fully engaged. The MCU control unit 10 realizes the vehicle power supply pre-charging function by controlling the timing of the first relay K1, PFC control unit 40, and the first relay K1.

[0040] During the entire on-board power supply pre-charging process, the first voltage detection unit 20 needs to detect the input voltage AC voltage and report it to the MCU control unit 10. The MCU control unit 10 controls whether the first relay K1 is energized. The MCU control unit 10 completes the energization of the second relay K2 by turning on the MOSFETs of the second voltage detection unit 30 and the PFC control unit 40.

[0041] Furthermore, the present invention also provides an on-board power pre-charging device, which includes the aforementioned on-board power pre-charging circuit.

[0042] In addition, this utility model also provides a vehicle that includes the above-mentioned vehicle power pre-charging device.

[0043] Since the vehicle-mounted power pre-charging device and the vehicle both adopt all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, they at least have all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
