Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-order harmonic technology, and more specifically to a high-order harmonic generating device that can test a product's ability to resist harmonics. Background Technology
[0002] With the rise of new energy sources, various high-frequency synthesized AC power sources (such as photovoltaic, wind power, and energy storage) are being connected to the power grid, making the power supply composition of the grid increasingly complex. At the same time, the rapid growth of new energy vehicles has led to a large number of charging devices being connected to the grid. These devices are becoming increasingly concentrated, and their potential pollution to the power grid is becoming more and more serious. When the high-frequency harmonic voltage in a local power grid reaches a certain amplitude proportion, it can threaten electrical equipment connected to the same network, potentially causing malfunctions or even damage.
[0003] Although national and international standards clearly stipulate the harmonic current standards injected into the power grid when various electrical appliances are working, the domestic product quality supervision system is still imperfect, and some countries and regions have not paid enough attention to this issue. As a result, some unscrupulous manufacturers omit the input filter of the product or cut corners in the production process in order to reduce costs, causing the harmonic index of the product to far exceed the relevant limit standards.
[0004] Therefore, a voltage source device that can generate high-order harmonics to mimic a polluted power grid in reality is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the power frequency transformer module is used to input mains power through the power frequency transformer, and then output it to the load after isolation, and transmit the high-frequency signal generated by the generator circuit after the isolated output.
[0012] Preferably, if distinguished by circuit, it can be divided into three parts: switching power supply section, amplifier circuit section, and isolation transformer circuit section.
[0013] Preferably, the switching power supply section uses a flyback topology to output four voltages: +40V, -40V, +12V, and -12V, which are used to provide a voltage source.

In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The high-order harmonic generating device that can test the harmonic resistance capability of a product involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a high-order harmonic generation device that can test the harmonic resistance capability of a product, including a switching power supply circuit module, an operational amplifier circuit module, a signal generator module, a power frequency transformer module, and an isolation transformer module.
[0027] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the switching power supply circuit module uses a flyback topology to output four voltages: +40V, -40V, +12V, and -12V. These are used to provide voltage sources for the operational amplifier circuit. The flyback topology features simple structure, low cost, wide input voltage range, and stable multi-output characteristics.
[0028] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the operational amplifier circuit module amplifies the amplitude of the signal generator. The signal emitted by the signal generator is typically ±20V, and the operational amplifier circuit can amplify this voltage by a factor of two. The amplitude is determined by the voltage withstand capability of the operational amplifier chip, and the maximum frequency is also determined by the capability of the operational amplifier chip. The output waveform and frequency are provided by the signal amplifier; the operational amplifier circuit does not change the output waveform and frequency. The external device signal amplifier is also an important component. The signal generator can provide countless waveforms and adjustable frequencies, offering powerful functionality and enhancing the device's output capability.
[0029] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the signal generator module, the external device signal generator is responsible for providing the original signal to the operational amplifier circuit, and is an existing device that can provide various frequencies and waveforms.
[0030] In this embodiment, it is important to specifically explain the isolation transformer module, which is the most critical part. It transmits the high-frequency waveform generated by the operational amplifier circuit to the mains power. To ensure the safety of the operational amplifier circuit, the high-frequency signal is coupled to the secondary side of the isolation transformer. The secondary side and the mains power, isolated by the power frequency transformer, are superimposed to form a voltage source that provides power to the product under test.
[0031] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the power frequency transformer module receives the mains power input, isolates it, and then outputs it to the load. Furthermore, a high-frequency signal generated by the generator circuit is transmitted after the isolated output.
[0032] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that, if distinguished by circuit, it can be divided into three parts:
[0033] The first part, the switching power supply section, uses a flyback topology to output four voltages: +40V, -40V, +12V, and -12V. These are used to provide the voltage source.
[0034] The second part is the amplifier circuit. This part of the circuit uses an operational amplifier circuit to amplify the voltage amplitude. The amplifier circuit can determine the amplification factor, and the initial amplitude and frequency are provided by the signal amplifier of the external device. The external device signal amplifier is also an important part of this patent.
[0035] The third part, the isolation transformer circuit, converts the high-frequency waveform generated by the operational amplifier circuit into the mains frequency component through the isolation transformer.
[0036] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that an external device—a signal generator—is used to obtain the original waveform of the harmonics. The signal generator can produce various types and frequencies of waveforms, thus maximally mimicking various pollution sources in the real power grid. After the signal generator provides the original waveform, the signal is amplified by the amplifier circuits OPA541 and OPA445 to obtain the amplitude required for testing. Here, the operational amplifier circuit can be any brand of operational amplifier IC, as long as it has amplification functionality.
[0037] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the signal is provided by an external signal generator, capable of providing various waveforms with adjustable frequencies. The harmonic amplitude is amplified by an operational amplifier circuit, reaching a maximum of ±40V. Four voltage sources are provided to the operational amplifier circuit via a flyback power supply, separating ±40V and ±12V, thus separating the power supplies for the OPA445 and OPA541, making the operational amplifier section of the patented circuit safer and more reliable. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for four external DC power supplies to power the operational amplifier circuit. Power is supplied to the output via a power frequency isolation transformer, further enhancing safety. The harmonic signal is in series with the LN output through the isolation transformer, ensuring that the output does not affect the operational amplifier circuit.
[0038] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
