[0024] This application provides a power circuit board. Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of the power circuit board of this application. The power circuit board 100 includes a first circuit board body 110, an upper bridge power transistor P1 and a lower bridge power transistor P2, and a gate interlock circuit 120.

[0025] The upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are disposed on the first circuit board body 110. The gate interlock circuit 120 is disposed on the first circuit board body 110.

[0026] Figure 2 This is a structural block diagram of the upper bridge power transistor P1, the lower bridge power transistor P2, and the gate interlock circuit in one embodiment of the power circuit board of this application. The gate interlock circuit 120 includes a first acquisition unit 121, a second acquisition unit 122, a logic processing unit 123, and a grounding unit 124. The first acquisition unit 121 is connected to the gate of the upper bridge power transistor P1 to acquire the first gate potential signal of the upper bridge power transistor P1. The second acquisition unit 122 is connected to the gate of the lower bridge power transistor P2 to acquire the second gate potential signal of the lower bridge power transistor P2. The logic processing unit 123 is connected to the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122, respectively. The output terminal of the logic processing unit 123 is connected to the grounding unit 124. The grounding unit 124 is connected to the gate of the upper bridge power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge power transistor P2. The logic processing unit 123 is configured to generate a trigger signal when both the first gate potential signal and the second gate potential signal are simultaneously on. Grounding unit 124 is configured to control the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 to be connected to ground based on a trigger signal, and to control the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be connected to ground. In one example, the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are both turned on when the level is high.

[0027] According to an embodiment of this application, a power circuit board 100 includes a gate interlock circuit 120 disposed on a first circuit board body 110. The gate interlock circuit 120 includes a first acquisition unit 121, a second acquisition unit 122, a logic processing unit 123, and a grounding unit 124. The first acquisition unit 121 acquires the first gate potential signal of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1, and the second acquisition unit 122 acquires the second gate potential signal of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2. The logic processing unit 123 is capable of generating a trigger signal when both the first gate potential signal and the second gate potential signal are simultaneously on. Based on the trigger signal, the grounding unit 124 controls the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 to be connected to ground, and controls the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be connected to ground. Thus, when both the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are turned on, the potential of the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 is grounded without relying on the drive signal, thereby turning off the upper bridge arm power transistor and the lower bridge arm power transistor, avoiding the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 from being turned on for a long time, thus solving the bridge arm shoot-through problem without relying on the drive signal.

[0028] In some embodiments, the power circuit board 100 further includes a first docking terminal 130, which is disposed on the first circuit board body 110. The first docking terminal 130 is electrically connected to the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2, and is used to dock with the drive circuit board.

[0029] When there is significant vibration at the first docking terminal 130, the connection between the first docking terminal 130 and the drive circuit board is prone to breakage. In this case, the drive signal from the drive circuit board cannot be transmitted to the power circuit board 100. When a power transistor in one of the bridge arms of the power circuit board 100 should be turned off, it cannot be turned off in time due to the lack of a drive signal, resulting in the gate of the power transistor failing to discharge. In this embodiment, by providing a gate interlock circuit 120 on the power circuit board 100, when both the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are on, the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 can be turned off without relying on a drive signal, thus preventing the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 from being on for extended periods.

[0030] Figure 3This is a circuit diagram of a power circuit board according to an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the logic processing unit 123 includes an AND gate circuit AND1. The two input terminals of the AND gate circuit AND1 are respectively connected to the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122, and the output terminal of the AND gate circuit AND1 is connected to the ground unit 124. In some embodiments, the trigger signal is a high-level signal output by the AND gate circuit AND1. In this embodiment, the logic processing unit 123 includes the AND gate circuit AND1. Therefore, when and only when the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122 simultaneously acquire that the gates of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are both at a high level, the AND gate circuit AND1 outputs a high-level signal as a trigger signal for controlling the ground unit 124.

[0036] By setting the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, voltage division can be performed in the circuit when the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122 acquire voltage, which facilitates the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122 to acquire accurate potential information.

[0037] In some embodiments, the grounding unit 124 includes a first grounding subunit 1241 and a second grounding subunit 1242. The first grounding subunit 1241 is electrically connected to the output of the AND gate circuit AND1 and the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1, respectively. The first grounding subunit 1241 is configured to control the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 to be connected to ground based on the trigger signal output by the AND gate circuit AND1. The second grounding subunit 1242 is electrically connected to the output of the AND gate circuit AND1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2, respectively. The second grounding subunit 1242 is configured to control the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be connected to ground based on the trigger signal output by the AND gate circuit AND1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first grounding subunit 1241 includes a first grounding switch Q1 and a first feedback module F1. One end of the first grounding switch Q1 is electrically connected to the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1, and the other end of the first grounding switch Q1 is grounded. The control terminal of the first grounding switch Q1 is connected to the first feedback module F1. The first feedback module F1 is connected to the output terminal of the AND gate circuit AND1. The first feedback module F1 is configured to control the first grounding switch Q1 to turn on based on the output trigger signal of the AND gate circuit AND1.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second grounding subunit 1242 includes a second grounding switch Q2 and a second feedback module F2. One end of the second grounding switch Q2 is electrically connected to the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2, and the other end of the second grounding switch Q2 is grounded. The control terminal of the second grounding switch Q2 is connected to the second feedback module F2. The second feedback module F2 is connected to the output terminal of the AND gate circuit AND1. The second feedback module F2 is configured to control the second grounding switch Q2 to turn on based on the output trigger signal of the AND gate circuit AND1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first feedback module F1 includes a third isolation chip XQ3 and a first control switch Q3. One end of the first control switch Q3 is grounded, and the other end of the first control switch Q3 is electrically connected to the low-voltage input terminal of the third isolation chip XQ3.

The high-voltage output terminal of the third isolation chip XQ3 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the first grounding switch Q1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second feedback module F2 includes a fourth isolation chip XQ4 and a second control switch Q4. One end of the second control switch Q4 is grounded, and the other end of the second control switch Q4 is electrically connected to the low-voltage input terminal of the fourth isolation chip XQ4. The control terminal of the second control switch Q4 is connected to the output terminal of the AND gate circuit AND1. The high-voltage output terminal of the fourth isolation chip XQ4 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the second grounding switch Q2.

[0042] The third isolation chip XQ3 and the fourth isolation chip XQ are, for example, optocoupler isolation chips.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first grounding switch Q1 and the second grounding switch Q2 are PNP transistors, and the first control switch Q3 and the second control switch Q4 are NPN transistors. In one example, the upper bridge power transistor P1 and the lower bridge power transistor P2 are turned on when they are at a high level. When the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122 simultaneously acquire that the gates of the upper bridge power transistor P1 and the lower bridge power transistor P2 are both at a high level, the AND gate circuit AND1 outputs a high-level signal. At this time, the first control switch Q3 and the second control switch Q4 are turned on, causing the low-voltage input terminal of the third isolation chip XQ3 and the low-voltage input terminal of the fourth isolation chip XQ4 to be pulled down. Correspondingly, the control terminals of the first grounding switch Q1 and the second grounding switch Q2 are also pulled down, causing the first grounding switch Q1 and the second grounding switch Q2 to be turned on. The first grounding switch Q1 grounds the gate of the upper bridge power transistor P1, and the second grounding switch Q2 grounds the gate of the lower bridge power transistor P1.

[0044] This application also provides a motor controller, which includes the power circuit board 100 and the drive circuit board of any of the foregoing embodiments. Figure 4 This is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the motor controller of this application. The power circuit board 100 includes a first circuit board body 110, an upper bridge power transistor P1 and a lower bridge power transistor P2, and a gate interlock circuit 120. The upper bridge power transistor P1 and the lower bridge power transistor P2 are disposed on the first circuit board body 110. The gate interlock circuit 120 is disposed on the first circuit board body 110. The gate interlock circuit 120 includes a first acquisition unit 121, a second acquisition unit 122, a logic processing unit 123, and a grounding unit 124. The first acquisition unit 121 is connected to the gate of the upper bridge power transistor P1 to acquire the first gate potential signal of the upper bridge power transistor P1. The second acquisition unit 122 is connected to the gate of the lower bridge power transistor P2 to acquire the second gate potential signal of the lower bridge power transistor P2. The logic processing unit 123 is connected to the first acquisition unit 121 and the second acquisition unit 122 respectively. The output terminal of the logic processing unit 123 is connected to the grounding unit 124. Grounding unit 124 is connected to the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2. Logic processing unit 123 is configured to generate a trigger signal when both the first gate potential signal and the second gate potential signal are simultaneously on. Grounding unit 124 is configured to control the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 to be connected to ground based on the trigger signal, and to control the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be connected to ground.

[0045] The driving circuit board 200 includes a second circuit board body 210, a first driving chip 221 and a second driving chip 222. The first driving chip 221 and the second driving chip 222 are disposed on the second circuit board body 210. The driving circuit board 200 can be connected to the power circuit board 100. The first driving chip 221 is used to drive the upper bridge arm power transistor P1, and the second driving chip 222 is used to drive the lower bridge arm power transistor P2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power circuit board 100 further includes a first docking terminal 130, which is disposed on the first circuit board body 110. The first docking terminal 130 is electrically connected to the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2, and is used to dock with the drive circuit board 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, the drive circuit board 200 includes a second mating terminal 230 disposed on the second circuit board body 210. The second mating terminal 230 is electrically connected to the first drive chip 221 and the second drive chip 222, and is used to mate with the power circuit board 100. Specifically, the second mating terminal 230 can mate with and be electrically connected to the first mating terminal 130.

[0048] In related technologies, the power circuit board 100 and the drive circuit board 200 are connected to each other through the first docking terminal 130 and the second docking terminal. When there is a large vibration at the first docking terminal 130 and the second docking terminal, the first docking terminal 130 and the second docking terminal are prone to disconnection. At this time, when the power transistor of a certain bridge arm on the power circuit board 100 should be turned off, it cannot be turned off in time because it does not receive the drive signal. As a result, the gate of the power transistor cannot discharge and only relies on the gate bias resistor to discharge naturally. The discharge speed is slow (in one example, the natural discharge is about 20us, while the short circuit time of the power transistor is generally less than 6us, and the dead time of the upper and lower bridge arms is generally 2.5us). The power transistor will be in the conducting state for a long time. This will cause the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be conducting for a long time, which will lead to the bridge arm shoot-through.

[0049] According to an embodiment of this application, the power circuit board 100 of the motor controller includes a gate interlock circuit 120 disposed on a first circuit board body 110. The gate interlock circuit 120 includes a first acquisition unit 121, a second acquisition unit 122, a logic processing unit 123, and a grounding unit 124. The first acquisition unit 121 acquires the first gate potential signal of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1, and the second acquisition unit 122 acquires the second gate potential signal of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2. The logic processing unit 123 can generate a trigger signal when both the first gate potential signal and the second gate potential signal are simultaneously on. Based on the trigger signal, the grounding unit 124 controls the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 to be connected to ground, and controls the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 to be connected to ground. Thus, when both the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 are turned on, the potential of the gate of the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the gate of the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 is grounded without relying on the drive signal, thereby turning off the upper bridge arm power transistor and the lower bridge arm power transistor, avoiding the upper bridge arm power transistor P1 and the lower bridge arm power transistor P2 from being turned on for a long time, thus solving the bridge arm shoot-through problem without relying on the drive signal.
