Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromagnetic compatibility technology, specifically to an EMI filter and its non-isolated airborne charger. Background Technology
[0002] As energy storage devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy, batteries are widely used in the aviation field for aircraft emergency and starting power systems. To reduce the frequency of off-board maintenance of battery packs, chargers need to be installed on board for charging operations. A typical onboard charging scheme adopts a non-isolated topology, powered by the onboard 28V DC power supply. After voltage / current adjustment by a DC / DC converter, it provides constant current charging to the battery pack.
[0003] The traditional non-isolated charging circuit structure is that the positive terminal of the onboard 28V DC power supply is directly connected to the positive input terminal of the DC / DC converter, the positive output terminal of the DC / DC converter is connected to the positive terminal of the battery pack, and the negative terminal of the onboard 28V power supply is connected to both the negative terminal of the DC / DC converter and the negative terminal of the battery pack. Although this scheme is simple in structure, it generates strong common-mode and differential-mode electromagnetic interference (EMI) during operation because the DC / DC converter uses high-frequency chopping technology.
[0004] To suppress interference, a common practice is to add an EMI filter to the input side of the DC / DC converter. This filter uses a two-wire input structure, with the onboard 28V positive terminal connected to the DC / DC input positive terminal via the filter, and the onboard 28V negative terminal connected to the DC / DC input negative terminal via the filter. However, this structure has a serious drawback:
[0005] Assume the positive current at the 28V terminal of the machine is (Inflow direction is positive), the battery pack charging current is (Inflow is positive), the negative current of the DC / DC converter is (Inflow is positive), according to Kirchhoff's Current Law, we have In actual work, It is always positive, while It can be negative, positive, or zero, because An imbalance in the current flowing through the two windings of the common-mode inductor on the input side causes a net magnetic flux to be generated within the core. When the operating current is large or under transient conditions, the core is prone to saturation, causing a sharp drop in inductance and resulting in the filter losing its common-mode interference suppression capability.

[0070] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the EMI filter circuit is based on capacitors and inductors to achieve electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression. All electronic components are soldered onto the circuit board via copper foil traces, and the specific connection relationships are as follows:

[0075] C7 (X capacitor, 0.47μF) connects to the second pin of L2 and the second pin of L3;
[0076] One end of C8, C9, and C10 (Y capacitors, 2.2nF) is connected to the second pin of L1, L2, and L3 respectively, and the other end is connected to the ground plate to further enhance the high-frequency suppression effect;

[0080] The inductor section is designed to suppress low-frequency interference through proper winding and connection. The specific connection is as follows:
[0081] L1, L2, and L3 (with wire diameters of 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and 1.5mm respectively) are wound together on the first toroidal ferrite core (T1, outer diameter 40mm), each with 10 turns, and all are wound clockwise. Their connection relationship is as follows: L1's first pin is connected to port 1, and its second pin is connected to L4's first pin; L2's first pin is connected to port 3, and its second pin is connected to L5's first pin; L3's first pin is connected to port 5, and its second pin is connected to L6's first pin.
[0082] L4, L5, and L6 (with wire diameters of 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and 1.5mm respectively) are wound together on the second toroidal ferrite core (T2, outer diameter 40mm), each with 10 turns and a clockwise winding direction. Their connection relationship is as follows: L4's second pin is connected to port 2, L5's second pin is connected to port 4, and L6's second pin is connected to port 6.
[0083] The material parameters of the ferrite cores T1 / T2 are an initial permeability of 3000-4000 and a saturation magnetic flux density ≥450mT (100℃), ensuring the stability of the inductor under high current and high frequency environments.
[0084] After completing the filter circuit layout, it is integrated with the non-isolated DC / DC converter to achieve complete power processing functionality. The connection relationships of each port are as follows:
[0085] Port 1 is connected to the positive terminal of the 28V DC power supply on the machine via a red wire;
[0086] Port 2 is connected to the positive input terminal of the DC / DC converter via an orange wire;
[0087] Port 3 is connected to the common terminal of the 28V DC power supply negative terminal and the battery negative terminal via a black wire.
[0088] Port 4 is connected to the negative terminal of the DC / DC converter via a black wire;
[0089] Port 5 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery via a yellow wire;
[0090] Port 6 is connected to the positive output terminal of the DC / DC converter (from the output current of the DC / DC converter) via an orange wire.
[0091] The DC / DC converter has an input voltage range of 18-36V, an output voltage of 28V±5%, and an output current that is continuously adjustable from 0-30A. Through this integration, the filter and the DC / DC converter can work together to provide efficient power management and electromagnetic compatibility.
[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, when the circuit is working normally, according to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), for the nodes of the magnetic core, we have: ;
[0093] Among them, the current at port 1 The power supply flows into the filter from the positive terminal of the onboard power supply (+ direction).
[0094] Current at port 3 The current flows out of the filter to the negative terminal (+ direction) of the machine power supply.
[0095] Current at port 5 The current flows out of the filter to the positive terminal (+ direction) of the battery.
[0096] like Figure 4 The winding direction shown indicates the current in L1 of the inductor winding ( The magnetic flux generated by the inflow (Direction downwards, denoted as) );
[0097] L2 current ( The outflow is an equivalent reverse current, which generates magnetic flux. (Upward direction, denoted as) );
[0098] L3 current ( The outflow is an equivalent reverse current, which generates magnetic flux. (Upward direction, denoted as) );
[0099] According to Kirchhoff's current law, due to This means that in the magnetic core, the magnetic flux generated by L1 and the combined magnetic flux from L2 and L3 exactly cancel each other out, resulting in a total magnetic flux of 0. Under this current relationship, the magnetic reluctance of the magnetic core is considered. Number of winding turns The formula for calculating magnetic flux is:
[0100]
[0101] Taking specific numerical values as an example, (Number of turns) Based on the characteristics of manganese-zinc ferrite materials, the value is 8000-9000 A·T / Wb. Here, we take 8000 A·T / Wb, according to the current relationship. Substitute into the formula:
[0102]
[0103] Therefore, during circuit operation, due to the rational design of current distribution and direction, the total magnetic flux in the magnetic core is... The flux is reduced to zero, achieving zero net magnetic flux. This flux cancellation mechanism effectively avoids core saturation and ensures the normal operation of the circuit.
[0104] After verifying the flux cancellation function, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) suppression mechanism of the filter was further tested, including the suppression effect of conducted and radiated interference. Through the design of a three-stage LC filter network, effective suppression of high-frequency interference was achieved. The corner frequency calculation formula is as follows:
[0105]
[0106] in, Parallel equivalent inductance, The formula for calculating the attenuation rate A at the high-frequency end (e.g., 1MHz) is:
[0107]
[0108] This indicates that the filter has a 76dB suppression effect on conducted interference at 1MHz.
[0109] The aluminum casing can be considered as a shielding body, and the shielding effectiveness SE is affected by the material's electrical conductivity. and relative permeability Impact, when At that time, shielding effectiveness and frequency It is related to the electrical conductivity of the material, according to the formula:
[0110]
[0111]
[0112] In summary, the aluminum casing provides 35dB of shielding effectiveness at 30MHz and 32dB at 500MHz. Through low-pass filter design, 76dB attenuation is achieved at 1MHz. The aluminum casing provides 35dB and 32dB of shielding effectiveness at 30MHz and 500MHz, respectively.
[0113] Based on the principle of magnetic flux cancellation and the design of a three-stage LC filter network, this filter has inherent electromagnetic interference suppression capability in the 10kHz-1GHz frequency band and can be adapted to airborne equipment that meets the requirements of GJB151A.
