Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power electronics technology, specifically to a bridgeless voltage multiplier PFC circuit. Background Technology

[0002] Switching power supplies have single-phase 220V and three-phase 380V AC inputs. To avoid injecting harmonics into the power grid, power factor correction (PFC) is required for both. In existing technologies, the output voltage of a single-phase 220V PFC is approximately 400V, and the output voltage of a three-phase PFC is approximately 700V. In scenarios requiring compatibility with both single-phase 220V and three-phase 380V inputs, the input range requirement for the subsequent DC / DC converter is too wide, severely impacting the efficiency of the switching power supply. Traditional single-phase 220V PFC typically employs a boost-type PFC circuit. If the output voltage is directly boosted to around 700V, the excessive boost ratio will cause the components to withstand very high voltage stress, leading to increased component costs, decreased efficiency, and worsened EMI, among other adverse consequences. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to optimize and improve the single-phase PFC circuit and propose a bridgeless voltage multiplier PFC circuit topology, which can convert single-phase AC 220V to DC 750V after PFC correction, while eliminating the need for a rectifier bridge, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is explained below with reference to the embodiments shown in the appendix:

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment of the bridgeless voltage doubler PFC circuit, the bridgeless voltage doubler PFC circuit consists of an input current sampling module, a power factor inductor L1, a switching unit composed of a first switching transistor V1 and a second switching transistor V2, a first freewheeling diode D1, a first freewheeling diode D2, a first output capacitor C1, a first output capacitor C2, an output voltage sampling module, and a drive control module. The first switching transistor V1 and the second switching transistor V2 are both N-type MOS transistors.

[0022] The first terminal of the power factor inductor L1 is connected to the positive terminal AC_L of the AC input power supply. The second terminal of the power factor inductor L1 is connected to the input terminal of the first switching transistor V1 and the anode of the first freewheeling diode D1. The output terminal of the first switching transistor V1 is connected to the input terminal of the second switching transistor V2, and the output terminal of the second switching transistor V2 is connected to the negative terminal AC_N of the AC input power supply.

[0023] The cathode of the first freewheeling diode D1 is connected to one end of the first output capacitor C1, and the other end of the first output capacitor C1 is connected in series with the second output capacitor C2. The node where the first output capacitor C1 and the second output capacitor C2 are connected in series is connected to the negative terminal AC_N of the AC input power supply.

[0024] The other end of the second output capacitor C2 is connected to the anode of the second freewheeling diode D2, and the cathode of the second freewheeling diode D2 is connected to the anode of the first freewheeling diode D1.

[0025] The control terminals of the first switch V1 and the second switch V2 are connected to the output terminal of the drive control module.

[0026] The input current sampling module is connected between the positive terminal AC_L of the AC input power supply and the first terminal of the power factor inductor L1. The input current sampling module is used to collect the input current of the AC power supply and send the current sampling signal to the drive control module. The output voltage sampling module is connected in parallel to the output terminals of the first output capacitor C1 and the second output capacitor C2 connected in series. It is used to sample the output voltage of the first output capacitor C1 and the second output capacitor C2 connected in series and send the voltage sampling signal to the drive control module.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, when the AC input power supply is in the positive half-cycle, the drive control module sends a drive control signal to turn on the first switch V1 and the second switch V2. The current input to the positive terminal AC_L of the AC power supply flows through the power factor inductor L1, the first switch V1 and the second switch V2 to the negative terminal AC_N of the AC power supply, forming a loop. The power factor inductor L1 is charged and stores energy.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, when the drive control module sends a drive control signal to turn off the first switch V1 and the second switch V2, the power factor inductor L1 releases energy through the loop formed by the first freewheeling diode D1 and the first capacitor C1 with the negative terminal AC_N of the AC power supply, charging the first capacitor C1. The voltage across C1 is the sum of the effective voltage of the AC power supply and the output voltage of the inductor L1, which is 375V.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, when the AC input power supply is in the negative half-cycle, the drive control module sends a drive control signal to turn on the first switch V1 and the second switch V2. The current input to the negative terminal AC_N of the AC power supply flows through the second switch V2, the first switch V1 and the power factor inductor L1 to the positive terminal AC_L of the AC power supply, forming a loop. The power factor inductor L1 is charged and stores energy.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, when the drive control module sends a drive control signal to turn off the second switch V2 and the first switch V1, the power factor inductor L1 releases energy. The current forms a circuit through the positive terminal AC_L, the negative terminal AC_N of the power supply, the second capacitor C2, and the second freewheeling diode D2, charging the second capacitor C2. The voltage across the second capacitor C2 is the sum of the effective voltage of the AC power supply and the output voltage of the inductor L1, which is 375V.

[0031] Therefore, the voltage across the output terminals of the first output capacitor C1 connected in series with the second output capacitor C1 is 750V.

[0032] Since the MOS switch has a body diode, in the embodiments, the switching unit, which is composed of the first switch V1 and the second switch V2 of the N-type MOS transistor connected back to back, can reliably turn off after receiving the turn-off signal from the drive module when the power supply is in the positive and negative half-cycles.

[0033] The drive control module sends a drive control signal based on the current sampling signal from the input current sampling module and the output voltage sampling signal from the output voltage sampling module to control the duration of the switching transistor's on / off state. The on-time of the switching transistor determines the energy stored in the power factor inductor L1, thereby affecting its charging time for the first capacitor C2 and the second capacitor C2, as well as the peak voltage across them.

[0034] This novel circuit is suitable for power factor correction in switching power supplies with both 220V and 380V AC inputs, converting single-phase 220V AC voltage into 750V direct voltage. This invention reduces stress on power devices, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and is low in cost and highly efficient.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that due to the limitations of written expression, while there are objectively infinite specific structures, those skilled in the art can make several improvements, modifications, or changes without departing from the principle of this invention, and can also combine the above technical features in an appropriate manner. These improvements, modifications, changes, or combinations, or the direct application of the concept and technical solution of the utility model to other occasions without modification, should all be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
