[0044] 800V high-voltage, high-power-density electric drive controllers, typified by third-generation wide-bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, have seen widespread adoption due to their high switching frequency, low losses, and excellent temperature resistance. However, this has also led to more serious electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. The high-speed switching of SiC power semiconductors in electric drive controllers generates high du / dt voltage and di / dt current rates, generating EMI. EMI primarily consists of radiated and conducted interference. Radiated interference refers to electromagnetic waves generated by the product, which disrupt the normal operation of electronic equipment through spatial interference. Conducted interference refers to interference sources, in the form of voltage and current, that affect other electronic equipment through coupling paths conducted by high- and low-voltage wiring harnesses. Interference can be further categorized as differential-mode interference and common-mode interference, with common-mode interference being the primary factor causing electric drive controllers to fail to meet regulatory requirements. Conventional DC power supply filters, however, suffer from significant stray inductance and high insertion loss. Their inflexible structure and output susceptibility to high-frequency coupling lead to substandard performance and high maintenance costs in high-frequency bands, hindering their widespread application on a platform-based basis.

[0045] Embodiments of the present application provide a filter circuit, filter, electric drive controller, and automobile for a DC power supply. The filter circuit of the DC power supply includes a positive DC bus, a negative DC bus, a charging line, and at least three filter circuits. The positive DC bus includes a positive DC bus input and a positive DC bus output. The negative DC bus includes a negative DC bus input and a negative DC bus output. The charging line includes a charging line input and a charging line output. At least three filter circuits are respectively connected between the positive DC bus input and the positive DC bus output, between the negative DC bus input and the negative DC bus output, and between the charging line input and the charging line output.

[0046] The filter circuit, filter, electric drive controller and automobile of the DC power supply of the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously provide power for the motor drive and realize the filtering function based on the boost function, can achieve high resistance to insertion loss, and meet relatively stringent filtering requirements.

[0047] FIG1 is a circuit diagram of a filter circuit of a DC power supply according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the filter circuit 1 of the DC power supply includes a positive DC bus 10, a negative DC bus 11, a charging line 12, and at least three filter circuits 13. The positive DC bus 10 includes a positive DC bus input terminal 101 and a positive DC bus output terminal 102. The negative DC bus 11 includes a negative DC bus input terminal 111 and a negative DC bus output terminal 112. The charging line 12 includes a charging line input terminal 121 and a charging line output terminal 122. The at least three filter circuits 13 are respectively connected between the positive DC bus input terminal 101 and the positive DC bus output terminal 102, between the negative DC bus input terminal 111 and the negative DC bus output terminal 112, and between the charging line input terminal 121 and the charging line output terminal 122.

[0048] In this embodiment, by integrating the charging line and the DC bus (positive DC bus, negative DC bus), and providing at least three-stage filtering circuits 13 between the input and output ends of the integration, it is possible to simultaneously provide power for the motor drive and realize the filtering function on the basis of the boost function, thereby achieving a high resistance to insertion loss, thereby meeting more stringent filtering requirements.

[0049] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , at least three stages of filtering circuitry 13 include a first-stage filtering magnetic ring 131, a second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132, and a third-stage filtering magnetic ring 133. The first-stage filtering magnetic ring 131, the second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132, and the third-stage filtering magnetic ring 133 are sequentially connected in intervals between the positive DC bus input terminal 101 and the positive DC bus output terminal 102, between the negative DC bus input terminal 111 and the negative DC bus output terminal 112, and between the charging line input terminal 121 and the charging line output terminal 122. The first-stage filtering magnetic ring 131 is used to eliminate low-frequency electromagnetic interference. The second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132 and the third-stage filtering magnetic ring 133 are used to eliminate high-frequency electromagnetic interference. The intervals between the first-stage filtering magnetic ring 131, the second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132, and the third-stage filtering magnetic ring 133 allow for simultaneous power supply to the motor drive and filtering in addition to the boost function. This provides high resistance to insertion loss and meets stringent filtering requirements.

[0050] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 is positioned closer to the positive DC bus input terminal 101, the negative DC bus input terminal 111, and the charging line input terminal 121, relative to the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132 and the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133. Because the input terminals of the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12 are subject to significant low-frequency electromagnetic interference, this embodiment positions the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 closer to the positive DC bus input terminal 101, the negative DC bus input terminal 111, and the charging line input terminal 121 to eliminate low-frequency electromagnetic interference and ensure signal stability and reliability.

[0051] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the at least three-stage filter circuit 13 further includes a plurality of DC link capacitors 14, which are respectively connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND, between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND, and between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the connection points between the plurality of DC link capacitors 14 and the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12 are respectively located between the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 and the positive DC bus output terminal 102, the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 and the negative DC bus output terminal 112, and the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 and the charging line output terminal 122.

[0052] The multiple DC link capacitors 14 of this embodiment smooth and filter the output voltages of the positive DC bus 10, negative DC bus 11, and charging line 12, keeping voltage fluctuations on the charging line 12 and DC bus (positive DC bus 10, negative DC bus 11) within an acceptable range. DC link capacitors 14 offer advantages such as high voltage and current resistance, low impedance, low inductance, minimal capacitance loss, low leakage current, and safety and reliability.

[0053] For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the plurality of DC link capacitors 14 may specifically include a first DC link capacitor CL1, a second DC link capacitor CL2, and a third DC link capacitor CL3. The first DC link capacitor CL1 is connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND, the second DC link capacitor CL2 is connected between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND, and the third DC link capacitor CL3 is connected between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND. The first DC link capacitor CL1 can smooth and filter the output voltage of the positive DC bus 10, keeping voltage fluctuations on the positive DC bus 10 within an allowable range, suppressing ripple and preventing backflow. The second DC link capacitor CL2 can smooth and filter the output voltage of the negative DC bus 11, keeping voltage fluctuations on the negative DC bus 11 within an allowable range, suppressing ripple and preventing backflow. The third DC link capacitor CL3 can smooth and filter the output voltage of the charging line 12, keeping voltage fluctuations on the charging line 12 within an allowable range, suppressing ripple and preventing backflow.

[0054] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , one end of each of the DC link capacitors 14 is connected to the ground terminal GND. This connection method is flexible. In other embodiments, one end of each of the DC link capacitors 14 can also be connected to the same ground terminal GND. The ground terminal in this connection method is relatively stable and reliable.

[0055] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the at least three-stage filter circuit 13 may further include at least one differential-mode circuit 15, connected between each of the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the differential-mode circuit 15 includes at least one differential-mode capacitor CX. In some embodiments, each differential-mode capacitor is connected between two of the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12. This configuration improves the performance of eliminating differential-mode interference signals.

[0056] For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the differential mode capacitor CX may specifically include a first differential mode capacitor CX1, a second differential mode capacitor CX2, and a third differential mode capacitor CX3. Among them, the first differential mode capacitor CX1 is connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the charging line 12, and is used to eliminate the differential mode interference between the positive DC bus 10 and the charging line 12. The second differential mode capacitor CX2 is connected between the negative DC bus 11 and the charging line 12, and is used to eliminate the differential mode interference between the negative DC bus 11 and the charging line 12. The third differential mode capacitor CX3 is connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the negative DC bus 11, and is used to eliminate the differential mode interference between the positive DC bus 10 and the negative DC bus 11.

[0057] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the connection points between the differential-mode circuit 15 and the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12 are located between the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 and the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132. This arrangement reduces mutual interference between the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 and the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132.

[0058] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , at least three stages of filtering circuits 13 may further include one or more common-mode circuits 16, which are respectively connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND, between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND, and between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the connection points of the common-mode circuit 16 with the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12 are respectively located between the first-stage filtering magnetic ring 131 and the second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132, and between the second-stage filtering magnetic ring 132 and the third-stage filtering magnetic ring 133. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the common-mode circuit 16 includes at least two common-mode capacitors CY. In some embodiments, each of the common-mode capacitors is connected between the positive DC bus 10, the negative DC bus 11, and the charging line 12 and the ground terminal. This arrangement can improve the performance of eliminating common-mode interference.

[0059] For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the common-mode capacitor CY whose connection point at the non-ground end is located between the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 and the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132 may specifically include: a first common-mode capacitor CY1 and a second common-mode capacitor CY2, connected between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND; a third common-mode capacitor CY3 and a fourth common-mode capacitor CY4, connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND; and a fifth common-mode capacitor CY5 and a sixth common-mode capacitor CY6, connected between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND.

[0060] For another example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the common-mode capacitor CY whose non-ground connection point is located between the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132 and the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 may specifically include: a seventh common-mode capacitor CY7 and an eighth common-mode capacitor CY8, connected between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the negative DC bus 11 and the ground terminal GND; a ninth common-mode capacitor CY9 and a tenth common-mode capacitor CY10, connected between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the positive DC bus 10 and the ground terminal GND; and an eleventh common-mode capacitor CY11 and a twelfth common-mode capacitor CY12, connected between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND, for eliminating common-mode interference between the charging line 12 and the ground terminal GND.

[0061] In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG1 , one end of each of the common-mode circuits 16 is connected to the ground terminal GND, which is a flexible connection method. In other embodiments, one end of each of the common-mode circuits 16 can be connected to the same ground terminal GND. In this connection method, the ground terminal is relatively more stable and reliable.

[0062] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the first-stage filter magnetic ring 131 may include an amorphous magnetic ring. Amorphous magnetic rings are magnetic components made of amorphous materials that effectively suppress low-frequency interference signals. Depending on the material of the amorphous material used, they can be categorized as iron-based amorphous, cobalt-based amorphous, and so on. In this embodiment, the amorphous magnetic ring can be replaced with a ring of different shapes and materials to achieve the desired inductance, depending on the actual filtering requirements of different products.

[0063] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the second-stage filter magnetic ring 132 may include a ferrite magnetic ring. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 may also include a ferrite magnetic ring, for example, made of a ferrite material (Mn-Zn). Ferrite magnetic rings have a good suppressive effect on high-frequency interference signals.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application also provides a filter 2 of a DC power supply, in which the filter circuit 1 of the DC power supply shown in the embodiment of FIG1 is provided. The DC power supply may include a DC boost power supply (Boost boost power supply). The filter 2 integrates the charging line 12 and the DC bus (positive DC bus 10, negative DC bus 11) into one piece by providing the filter circuit 1 of the DC power supply shown in the embodiment of FIG1, and provides at least three-stage filter circuits 13 between the input and output ends of the integration, which can simultaneously provide power for the motor drive and realize the filtering function on the basis of the boost function, and can achieve a high resistance to insertion loss, thereby meeting the more stringent filtering requirements.

The power charging busbar 22 , the power positive busbar 23 , the power negative busbar 24 , and the at least three filter assemblies 25 are all mounted on the base 21 . The base 21 is provided with a storage space for accommodating the power charging busbar 22 , the power positive busbar 23 , the power negative busbar 24 , and the at least three filter assemblies 25 . At least three filter components 25 are electrically connected to the power charging copper busbar 22, the power positive copper busbar 23, and the power negative copper busbar 24. In this embodiment, the power positive copper busbar 23 can be a positive busbar copper busbar. The power negative copper busbar 24 can be a negative busbar copper busbar.

[0066] In this embodiment, the power charging copper bus 22, the power positive copper bus 23, the power negative copper bus 24, and at least three-stage filter components 25 are all installed on the base 21, and the at least three-stage filter components 25 are electrically connected to the power charging copper bus 22, the power positive copper bus 23, and the power negative copper bus 24, so as to simultaneously provide power to the motor drive and realize the filtering function on the basis of the boost function, thereby achieving a high resistance to insertion loss and meeting relatively stringent filtering requirements, and having high integration, simple structure, compact layout, small size and low maintenance cost.

[0067] In the embodiment shown in conjunction with Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8, the base 21 extends along a first direction X1 and a second direction X2 that are located in the same plane and intersect with each other. In this embodiment, the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 may be arranged to intersect perpendicularly.

The power negative copper busbar input end 241 and the power negative copper busbar output end 242 are both bent and connected to the filter assembly 25. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 to 8, the charging busbar input terminal 221, the positive busbar input terminal 231, and the negative busbar input terminal 241 extend side by side along a first direction X1, and the charging busbar output terminal 222, the positive busbar output terminal 232, and the negative busbar output terminal 242 extend side by side along a second direction X2. This combination of parallel and vertically stacked busbar placement allows for compatibility with various spatial configurations by adjusting the busbar bending angle, resulting in a simple structure, high integration, compact layout, and low maintenance costs.

[0068] In the embodiments shown in conjunction with Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8, the power charging copper busbar input terminal 221, the power positive copper busbar input terminal 231, and the power negative copper busbar input terminal 241 each have a height difference relative to the plane in which the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are located, and the height differences are different. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the plane in which the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are located is a horizontal plane. The power charging copper busbar input terminal 221, the power positive copper busbar input terminal 231, and the power negative copper busbar input terminal 241 each have a height difference relative to the horizontal plane, and the height differences can be different from each other. This arrangement can prevent mutual interference between the input signals of the power charging copper busbar input terminal 221, the power positive copper busbar input terminal 231, and the power negative copper busbar input terminal 241, making the input signals stable and reliable.

[0069] In the embodiments shown in conjunction with Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8, the power charging copper busbar output terminal 222, the power positive copper busbar output terminal 232, and the power negative copper busbar output terminal 242 have a height difference relative to the plane in which the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are located, and the height difference is different. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the plane in which the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are located is a horizontal plane. The power charging copper busbar output terminal 222, the power positive copper busbar output terminal 232, and the power negative copper busbar output terminal 242 each have a height difference relative to the horizontal plane, and the height difference can be different from each other. This arrangement can prevent mutual interference between the output signals of the power charging copper busbar output terminal 222, the power positive copper busbar output terminal 232, and the power negative copper busbar output terminal 242, making the output signals stable and reliable.

[0070] In the embodiments shown in conjunction with Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8, the charging busbar input 221, the positive busbar input 231, and the negative busbar input 241 have height differences relative to the charging busbar output 222, the positive busbar output 232, and the negative busbar output 242, respectively, in the planes along the first direction X1 and the second direction X2. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the plane along the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 is a horizontal plane. The charging busbar input 221 may have a height difference relative to the charging busbar output 222 on this horizontal plane. The positive busbar input 231 may have a height difference relative to the positive busbar output 232 on this horizontal plane. The negative busbar input 241 may have a height difference relative to the negative busbar output 242 on this horizontal plane. This arrangement further prevents signal interference and ensures more stable and reliable signal transmission.

[0071] In the embodiments shown in conjunction with Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 7 to 8, the positive power copper bar 23 can be arranged near the outer edge of the base 21 relative to the negative power copper bar 24 and the power charging copper bar 22, while the power charging copper bar 22 can be arranged near the inner middle area of ​​the base 21 relative to the positive power copper bar 23 and the power negative copper bar 24. For example, the positive power copper bar 23, the negative power copper bar 24, and the power charging copper bar 22 can be arranged sequentially from the edge to the middle area of ​​the base 21. In addition, the positive power copper bar input end 231 and the positive power copper bar output end 232 can extend in two directions, respectively. For example, the positive power copper bar input end 231 extends along a first direction X1, while the positive power copper bar output end 232 extends along a second direction X2. Similarly, the negative power copper bar input end 241 and the negative power copper bar output end 242 can also extend in two directions respectively (the negative power copper bar input end 241 is along the first direction X1, and the negative power copper bar output end 242 is along the second direction X2), and the power charging copper bar input end 221 and the power charging copper bar output end 222 can also extend in two directions respectively (the power charging copper bar input end 221 is along the first direction X1, and the power charging copper bar output end 222 is along the second direction X2).

[0072] In this embodiment, by adopting two perpendicular directions to set copper bars, the space of the curved portion can be fully utilized, and the structural design of the parallel laminated copper bars, parallel means parallel when projected onto the horizontal plane, and laminated means there are different height differences relative to the horizontal plane. This can maximize the laminated length range of the positive copper bar 23, the negative copper bar 24, and the power charging copper bar 22, so that the magnetic fields of the positive copper bar 23, the negative copper bar 24, and the power charging copper bar 22 cancel each other, which can effectively reduce stray inductance. This layout method also makes the structure simple, the layout compact, the integration high, and the volume small. It should be noted that an isolation component (not shown) is provided between adjacent copper bars to isolate and prevent electrical connection between adjacent copper bars.

[0073] In the embodiment shown in combination with Figures 3, 5 to 7, at least three-stage filter components 25 include a first-stage filter component 251, a second-stage filter component 252 and a third-stage filter component 253, which are respectively mounted on the power charging copper bus 22, the power positive copper bus 23 and the power negative copper bus 24, and are respectively connected to the power charging copper bus 22, the power positive copper bus 23 and the power negative copper bus 24.

The second-stage filter magnetic ring 132 and the third-stage filter magnetic ring 133 can be ferrite magnetic rings. The first-stage filter component 251 is used to eliminate low-frequency electromagnetic interference. The second-stage filter component 252 and the third-stage filter component 253 are used to eliminate high-frequency electromagnetic interference. With this arrangement, it is possible to simultaneously power the motor drive and realize the filtering function on the basis of the boost function, and achieve a high resistance to insertion loss, thereby meeting more stringent filtering requirements.

[0075] In the embodiment shown in conjunction with Figures 5 and 7 , the first-stage filter assembly 251 is positioned closer to the power charging busbar input terminal 221, the power positive busbar input terminal 231, and the power negative busbar input terminal 241, relative to the second-stage filter assembly 252 and the third-stage filter assembly 253. Because the input terminals of the power charging busbar 22, the power positive busbar 23, and the power negative busbar 24 are subject to a significant amount of low-frequency electromagnetic interference, positioning the first-stage filter assembly 251 closer to the power charging busbar input terminal 221, the power positive busbar input terminal 231, and the power negative busbar input terminal 241 can eliminate low-frequency electromagnetic interference and ensure signal stability and reliability.

[0076] In the embodiments shown in Figures 3, 5, and 7, the first-stage filter assembly 251 is arranged to extend along a first direction X1, and the second-stage filter assembly 252 and the third-stage filter assembly 253 are arranged to be spaced apart along a second direction X2. This arrangement is compatible with the load's spatial structure, resulting in a compact layout and preventing mutual interference between the first-stage filter assembly 251, the second-stage filter assembly 252, and the third-stage filter assembly 253.

[0077] In the embodiment shown in combination with Figures 3, 5 to 7, the first-stage filter component 251 is integrally formed and has a ring structure.

The third-stage filter assembly upper lobe 253a and the third-stage filter assembly lower lobe 253b can be plugged in and out to be assembled above and below the power charging copper bus 22, the power positive copper bus 23, and the power negative copper bus 24.

[0080] To accommodate complex spatial configurations, the first-stage filter assembly 251 is assembled parallel to the input end of the copper busbar, and the magnetic ring dimensions can be adjusted to accommodate varying spatial dimensions. The second-stage filter assembly 252 and the third-stage filter assembly 253 are assembled in sections, orthogonal to the assembly direction of the first-stage filter assembly 251. This arrangement allows for flexible magnetic ring configuration, balances structural dimensions, and facilitates platform-based application.

On the other hand, it allows the power positive copper bus 23, the power negative copper bus 24, and at least three-stage filter components 25 to be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 26. The electrical connection is stable and reliable, and the signal transmission is stable. In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 26 is used instead of the traditional direct connection method of the capacitor pins, which can not only facilitate the capacitor layout, but also reduce the parasitic resistance and inductance through the wider traces on the printed circuit board 26.

[0082] This embodiment is based on the structure of parallel stacked copper bars and vertically placed, and adopts screws and printed circuit board 26 to lock and take out electricity, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. This embodiment selects and designs protection measures from the system level, including magnetic rings, Y capacitors (CX capacitors), and X capacitors (CY capacitors) to prevent structural damage. In this embodiment, the side of the printed circuit board 26 facing the base 21 is provided with multiple differential mode components (not shown), multiple common mode components (not shown) and multiple DC support capacitor components (not shown).

In addition, the printed circuit board 26 may also include other components, which are not limited in this application. In this embodiment, multiple differential-mode components, multiple common-mode components, and multiple DC link capacitor components are incorporated into the filter 2. This internal arrangement reduces the product's height, resulting in a compact structure and a smaller size.

In this way, one end of the grounding of multiple differential mode components, multiple common mode components and multiple DC support capacitor assemblies can be concentrated and connected to the grounding copper bar, which is convenient for connection and maintenance on the one hand, and has a large grounding area and a stable grounding signal on the other hand. In addition, in combination with the actual space, multiple channels are connected to the same grounding copper bar, and by multi-point parallel connection to the ground, the length of the common mode grounding line is minimized, the grounding impedance is reduced, and it is beneficial to filter out high-frequency clutter; multiple channels are connected in parallel separately to the common ground, and the structural design is simple, saving space. In the present embodiment, the filter grounding of the common mode capacitor and the product fixed hole position are integrated into the design, which can reduce the number of fixed holes and further reduce the volume.
