Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inverter design and safety control technology, specifically to an adaptive operating condition bus voltage discharge circuit for inverters. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most inverters on the market adopt a conventional topology of battery boost and bus inversion, with their bus voltage typically maintained between 400V and 500V. According to industry safety regulations, the bus voltage must drop to 60V or below within 5 minutes of the inverter being powered off to avoid the risk of electric shock and ensure safe operation.

[0003] To meet this safety standard, inverters on the market generally achieve voltage discharge by connecting a large resistor in series in the bus discharge circuit. This means that the large resistor consumes the energy of the bus, reducing the voltage to a safe range. However, this method has a significant drawback: because the large resistor is connected in series in the bus discharge circuit both when the inverter is powered on and off, it continues to consume energy during normal operation, thus reducing the overall discharge efficiency of the unit.

[0043] Preferably, resistors R1, R2, R3, R4 and R6 are all ceramic chip resistors. Ceramic chip resistors achieve precise voltage division, current limiting and signal matching with small size and high precision.

[0044] Preferably, resistor R5 is a cement resistor, which, with its high power carrying capacity and high temperature resistance, achieves energy dissipation and overcurrent buffering.

[0045] Preferably, the selection of cement resistor R5 can be determined based on the bus discharge formula.

[0046] The known parameters are as follows:

[0047] The original bus voltage V0 is the voltage BUS value after being boosted by the DC-DC boost circuit. In this embodiment, V0 = 450V.

[0048] Target voltage Vtarget: In this embodiment, Vtarget = 60V;

[0049] Total capacitance of the bus capacitor C1: In this embodiment, C1 = 4080μF;

[0050] Discharge time t: In this embodiment, t = 5 min;

[0051] Calculation formula:

[0052] In the formula: R5 is the cement resistance value to be determined; C1 is the total capacitance of the busbar, a known parameter; t is the discharge time; Vgarget is the target voltage value; V0 is the original voltage value of the busbar.

[0053] Using the above formula, combined with the known original bus voltage value V0, total bus capacitance value C1, discharge time t, and target voltage value Vgarget parameters, the resistance value of cement resistor R5 under suitable operating conditions can be calculated. This enables safe discharge of bus voltage when the machine is powered off, meeting the safety requirement of dropping to ≤60V within 5 minutes, while avoiding energy loss when powered on.

[0054] The working process and technical effects of this utility model:

[0055] When the machine is powered on normally, the BAT+ voltage is connected, the auxiliary power circuit starts, and the +12V_aux auxiliary power output voltage is generated. The DC-DC boost circuit operates, boosting the low-voltage BAT+ voltage to the high-voltage BUS+ voltage; the DC-AC inverter circuit then inverts the high-voltage BUS+ voltage into AC voltage INV_L / INV_N, ensuring normal power supply and energy conversion for the machine.

[0056] When the machine is powered on normally, the bus bleed circuit does not operate. The +12V_aux auxiliary power supply, after passing through diode D1, is divided by resistors R3 and R4, causing MOSFET Q2 to close. At this time, the drain-source (DS) pin of Q2 is conducting, and the source (S) pin of Q2 is grounded, pulling the gate (GND) pin of Q1 to ground, causing MOSFET Q1 to turn off. The discharge resistor R5 is not connected to the bus + to ground (GND) loop to avoid unnecessary energy consumption of the bus during normal operation, ensuring efficient circuit operation.

[0057] After the machine is powered off, the bus discharge circuit is activated. The +12V_aux auxiliary power supply is de-energized, Q2 MOSFET is cut off, and its drain-source (DS) is disconnected. At this time, the source (S) pin of Q2 and the gate (G) pin of Q1 are both connected to the pins of BUS+ after voltage division by resistors R1 and R2. By properly setting the resistance values ​​of R1 and R2, voltage division is achieved, allowing MOSFET Q1 to conduct. Discharge resistor R5 is connected to the BUS+ circuit to ground (GND). Through this resistor, BUS+ quickly discharges energy, ensuring a safe voltage drop in the bus after shutdown.

[0058] By adaptively controlling the conduction state of the MOSFET, the bleeder resistor is connected to the bus circuit only when the power is off. This avoids energy loss during normal operation and efficiently bleeds the bus voltage after power-off, meeting the safety requirement that the bus voltage be below 60V within 5 minutes. This achieves a working condition-adaptive bus voltage safe bleed function, balancing circuit efficiency and safety standards.
