Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements, but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, product, or apparatus.

[0036] References to "embodiments" in this application mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application may be combined with other embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a DC charging module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the DC charging module 100 may include an AC / DC converter 10, a DC / DC converter 20, an internal controller 30, a first internal power supply 41, a second internal power supply 42, and a wake-up module 50; the input end of the AC / DC converter 10 is connected to an AC power source, and the output end of the AC / DC converter 10 is connected to the input end of the DC / DC converter 20 and the power supply end of the first internal power supply 41;

[0038] The internal controller 30 is configured to, upon receiving a sleep instruction sent by the wake-up module 50, send a shutdown signal to the first internal power supply 41 to shut down the first internal power supply 41; when the first internal power supply 41 is shut down, the internal controller 30, the AC / DC converter 10, and the DC / DC converter 20 are all in a sleep state;

[0039] The second internal power supply 42 is configured to supply power to the wake-up module 50 when the first internal power supply 41 is turned off.

[0040] An AC / DC converter (also known as an AC-DC converter) is a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The AC / DC converter 10 may include a switching transistor, a voltage sampling module, a current sampling module, and the like.

[0041] In the dormant state, the AC / DC converter 10 does not have a power factor correction (PFC) function and can maintain a low-power DC output. The AC / DC converter 10 can operate normally when powered by the first internal power supply 41. In the normal operating state, the AC / DC converter 10 has a PFC function to ensure a high-power DC output.

[0042] A direct current / direct current converter (DC / DC) is a device that converts a DC power source into another DC voltage. A DC / DC converter can convert high voltages to low voltages, or vice versa. The DC / DC converter 20 may include a switching transistor, a transformer, a voltage sampling module, a current sampling module, and the like. The DC / DC converter 20 can convert one type of direct current into another type of direct current.

[0043] The internal controller 30 can control the on or off of the switch tube in the AC / DC converter 10, can obtain the voltage sampling results of the voltage sampling module and the current sampling results of the current sampling module in the AC / DC converter 10, and can control the on or off of the switch tube in the AC / DC converter 10 according to the voltage sampling results of the voltage sampling module in the AC / DC converter 10 and the current sampling results of the current sampling module in the AC / DC converter 10.

[0044] The internal controller 30 can control the on / off of the switch tube in the DC / DC converter 20, obtain the voltage sampling results of the voltage sampling module and the current sampling results of the current sampling module in the DC / DC converter 20, and control the on / off of the switch tube in the DC / DC converter 20 according to the voltage sampling results of the voltage sampling module in the DC / DC converter 20 and the current sampling results of the current sampling module in the DC / DC converter 20.

[0045] The wake-up module 50 can send a sleep command to the internal controller 30 when it receives a sleep command. The wake-up module 50 can receive a sleep command sent by an external controller and send the sleep command to the internal controller 30. The external controller can be a controller other than the DC charging module, such as a controller of a DC charging pile. A DC charging pile can include multiple DC charging modules, and the controller of the DC charging pile can be used to control whether each DC charging module is working. For example, when it is detected that the DC charging module has no charging demand (for example, when the user unplugs the charging gun from the DC charging pile), the controller of the DC charging pile can send a sleep command to the wake-up module of the DC charging module to put the DC charging module into a sleep state.

[0046] The wake-up module 50 may be a module capable of sending a control signal (eg, a sleep command or a wake-up command).

[0047] In one possible embodiment, the wake-up module 50 may be a Controller Area Network (CAN) communication controller. The CAN communication controller is an existing module on a DC charging station. The existing CAN communication controller can be used as the wake-up module, eliminating the need for a new module and reducing costs.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, the wake-up module 50 may be a controller of a DC charging pile, which may directly send a sleep instruction to the internal controller 30. The controller of the DC charging pile may also directly send a wake-up instruction to the first internal power supply 41 to turn on the first internal power supply 41.

[0049] The wake-up module 50 needs to be continuously powered and can promptly wake up the DC charging module when a charging demand is detected. When no charging demand is detected, the internal controller 30 is promptly notified to shut down the first internal power supply 41, putting the DC charging module into a dormant state, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the DC charging module.

[0050] The first internal power supply 41 may be a DC-to-DC power supply module, and may convert the DC voltage output by the AC / DC converter 10 into a voltage for supplying power to each module.

[0051] The first internal power supply 41 can power the switch tube, voltage sampling module, current sampling module, etc. in the AC / DC converter 10. The first internal power supply 41 can power the switch tube, transformer, voltage sampling module, current sampling module, etc. in the DC / DC converter 20.

[0052] When the first internal power source 41 is turned on, the first internal power source 41 can supply power to the wake-up module 50. When the first internal power source 41 is turned off, the second internal power source 42 can supply power to the wake-up module 50.

[0053] When the first internal power source 41 is turned off, the internal controller 30 , the AC / DC converter 10 , and the DC / DC converter 20 are all in a dormant state and do not generate power consumption.

[0054] The operating power of the second internal power source 42 is less than the operating power of the first internal power source 41. The operating power of the second internal power source 42 is less than the standby power of the first internal power source 41. For example, if the operating power of the first internal power source 41 is 40 watts (W), the standby power of the first internal power source 41 is 15 W, and the operating power of the second internal power source 42 is 1 W.

[0055] The power consumption of the first internal power supply 41 in standby mode is different from the power consumption when the first internal power supply 41 is turned off. In the absence of the second internal power supply 42, when the first internal power supply 41 is in standby mode, the first internal power supply 41 needs to power the internal controller 30, the driver chip for the switching transistors in the AC / DC converter 10, and the driver chip for the switching transistors in the DC / DC converter 20, and the first internal power supply 41 still consumes power. When the first internal power supply 41 is turned off, the power consumption of the first internal power supply 41 is zero, and the first internal power supply 41 does not consume any power.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, when a sleep command is received from the wake-up module, the first internal power supply is turned off, and the internal controller, AC / DC converter, and DC / DC converter are all in a sleep state. When the internal controller, AC / DC converter, and DC / DC converter are all in a sleep state, no energy is consumed, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the DC charging module.

[0057] Optionally, the wake-up module 50 is configured to send an enable signal to the first internal power supply 41 upon receiving a wake-up command, so as to turn on the first internal power supply 41;

[0058] The first internal power supply 41 is used to supply power to the internal controller 30, the AC / DC converter 10, the DC / DC converter 20 and the wake-up module 50 when the first internal power supply 41 is turned on;

[0059] The second internal power supply 42 can be an AC-to-DC power module or a DC-to-DC power module. When the second internal power supply 42 is an AC-to-DC power module, the second internal power supply 42 can be powered by an AC power source. When the second internal power supply 42 is a DC-to-DC power module, the second internal power supply 42 can be powered by the output terminal of the AC / DC converter 10.

[0060] The second internal power supply 42 is used to supply power to the wake-up module 50 when the first internal power supply 41 is turned off, and is also used to stop supplying power to the wake-up module 50 when the first internal power supply 41 is turned on.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, when a charging demand is detected, the controller of the DC charging pile can send a wake-up command to the wake-up module 50. When receiving the wake-up command, the wake-up module 50 can directly send an enable signal to the first internal power supply 41 to turn on the first internal power supply 41. After the first internal power supply 41 is turned on, it can supply power to the internal controller 30, the AC / DC converter 10, the DC / DC converter 20 and the wake-up module 50 to ensure that the DC charging module can work normally.

[0062] When the first internal power supply 41 is turned on, the second internal power supply 42 stops supplying power to the wake-up module 50. The second internal power supply 42 stops supplying power to the wake-up module 50 because the second internal power supply 42 is turned off or because the power supply voltage output by the first internal power supply 41 to the wake-up module 50 is greater than the power supply voltage output by the second internal power supply 42 to the wake-up module 50.

[0063] The internal controller 30 sends a shutdown signal to the first internal power supply 41, which can disconnect the power supply end of the first internal power supply 41 from the output end of the AC / DC converter 10. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a structural schematic diagram of another DC charging module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, a first switch S1 can be set in the first internal power supply 41, and the first switch S1 can be set between the power supply end of the first internal power supply 41 and the output end of the AC / DC converter 10 (the first switch S1 can be set outside the first internal power supply 41, or it can be set inside the first internal power supply 41. Figure 2 takes the setting inside the first internal power supply 41 as an example). When the first switch S1 receives a shutdown signal, the first switch S1 is disconnected and the first internal power supply 41 is turned off. When the first switch S1 receives an enable signal, the first switch S1 is turned on and the first internal power supply 41 is turned on.

[0064] The first switch S1 can be any one of a relay, an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a triode, and a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). MOSFET can be simply referred to as a MOS transistor. When the first switch S1 is an N-type MOS transistor, the enable signal is a high-level signal, and the disable signal is a low-level signal.

[0065] Optionally, the AC / DC converter 10 is configured to convert alternating current into first direct current to power the first internal power supply 41 when the first internal power supply 41 is started;

[0066] The DC / DC converter 20 is configured to convert the first direct current into a second direct current output when the first internal power source 41 is started and under the control of the internal controller 30 .

[0067] When the first internal power supply 41 is turned on, the first internal power supply 41 is used to convert the first direct current output by the AC / DC converter 10 into a third direct current, and use the third direct current to power the internal controller 30, the driver chip of the switch tube of the AC / DC converter 10, the DC / DC converter 20, and the wake-up module 50. The voltage of the third direct current is different from the voltage of the first direct current.

[0068] When the AC / DC converter 10 is in a dormant state, the AC / DC converter 10 is capable of converting alternating current into a fourth direct current. The voltage of the fourth direct current may be different from or the same as the voltage of the first direct current. When the first internal power supply 41 is awakened by the awakening module 50, the first internal power supply 41 can draw power from the output of the AC / DC converter 10, convert the fourth direct current into a third direct current, and then use the third direct current to power the internal controller 30, the driver chip of the switch tube of the AC / DC converter 10, the DC / DC converter 20, and the awakening module 50.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another DC charging module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 is obtained on the basis of Figure 1. As shown in Figure 3, the AC power supply includes a three-phase AC power supply, and the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 is connected to one phase of the three-phase AC power supply. The three phases of the three-phase AC power supply are the first phase L1, the second phase L2, and the third phase L3. In Figure 3, the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 is connected to the first phase L1 of the three-phase AC power supply. Figure 3 takes the case where the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 is connected to the first phase L1 of the three-phase AC power supply as an example.

[0070] Among them, L1, L2, and L3 correspond to the input of three-phase electricity respectively, and L1, L2, and L3 are all live wires.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the second internal power supply 42 can be an AC-to-DC power supply module. The second internal power supply 42 draws power from one phase of the three-phase AC power supply. Compared with drawing power from all three phases of the three-phase AC power supply, the DC voltage output by the second internal power supply 42 after AC-to-DC conversion is lower. The second internal power supply 42 can use power devices with low withstand voltage (i.e., power devices with relatively low voltage stress), which can save costs. The second internal power supply 42 only works when the first internal power supply 41 is turned off to power the wake-up module 50. When the first internal power supply 41 is working, the second internal power supply 42 is not working. The second internal power supply 42 draws power from one phase of the three-phase AC power supply, and will not affect the three-phase imbalance of the power grid.

[0072] As shown in Figure 3, the DC charging module also includes a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2 and a third capacitor C3; the positive pole of the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 is connected to one phase of the three-phase AC power supply, the first phase L1 of the three-phase AC power supply is connected to the first end of the first capacitor C1, the second phase L2 of the three-phase AC power supply is connected to the first end of the second capacitor C2, the third phase L3 of the three-phase AC power supply is connected to the first end of the third capacitor C3, the second end of the first capacitor C1, the second end of the second capacitor C2, and the third end of the third capacitor C3 are connected to the negative pole of the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42.

[0073] The capacitances of the first capacitor C1 , the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are equal.

[0074] When the capacitances of C1, C2, and C3 are equal, the voltage at the node where C1, C2, and C3 are connected in parallel is the same as the voltage of the neutral line. The second internal power supply 42 obtains the voltage of one phase from the node where L1 and C1, C2, and C3 are connected in parallel.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an AC / DC converter provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the AC / DC converter 10 includes a first inductor Lr1, a second inductor Lr2, a third inductor Lr3, a bus capacitor C bus , a first switching tube Q1, a second switching tube Q2, a third switching tube Q3, a fourth switching tube Q4, a fifth switching tube Q5, a sixth switching tube Q6, a first body diode D1, a second body diode D2, a third body diode D3, a fourth body diode D4, a fifth body diode D5 and a sixth body diode D6;

[0076] A first end of the first inductor Lr1 is connected to the first phase L1 of the three-phase AC power supply, a first end of the second inductor Lr2 is connected to the second phase L2 of the three-phase AC power supply, a first end of the third inductor Lr3 is connected to the third phase L3 of the three-phase AC power supply, a second end of the first inductor Lr1 is connected to the first end of the first switching tube Q1, the anode of the first body diode D1, the first end of the fourth switching tube Q4 and the cathode of the fourth body diode D4, a second end of the second inductor Lr2 is connected to the first end of the second switching tube Q2, the anode of the second body diode D1, the first end of the fourth switching tube Q4 and the cathode of the fourth body diode D4. The positive electrode of the fifth switching transistor D2, the first end of the fifth switching transistor Q5 and the cathode of the fifth body diode D5, the second end of the third inductor Lr3 is connected to the first end of the third switching transistor Q3, the positive electrode of the third body diode D3, the first end of the sixth switching transistor Q6 and the cathode of the sixth body diode D6, the second end of the first switching transistor Q1, the second end of the second switching transistor Q2, the second end of the third switching transistor Q3, the cathode of the first body diode D1, the cathode of the second body diode D2, the cathode of the third body diode D3 and the bus capacitor C bus The positive electrode of the fourth switch tube Q4, the second end of the fifth switch tube Q5, the second end of the sixth switch tube Q6, the positive electrode of the fourth body diode D4, the positive electrode of the fifth body diode D5, the positive electrode of the sixth body diode D6 and the bus capacitor C bus The positive electrode of the power supply end of the first internal power supply 41 is connected to the bus capacitor C bus The positive electrode of the first internal power supply 41 is connected to the bus capacitor C bus of the negative electrode.

[0077] The switch tube in FIG4 can be any one of a relay, an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a triode, and a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). A MOSFET can be simply referred to as a MOS tube. The switch tube in FIG4 takes an N-type MOS tube (i.e., an NMOS tube) as an example. The first and second ends of the switch tube can be the source and drain of the NMOS tube.

[0078] The first body diode D1, the second body diode D2, the third body diode D3, the fourth body diode D4, the fifth body diode D5 and the sixth body diode D6 are the body diodes of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, the fourth switch tube Q4, the fifth switch tube Q5 and the sixth switch tube Q6 respectively.

[0079] The third end of the switch tube in Figure 4 (for example, the gate of the MOS tube) can be connected to the driver chip corresponding to each switch tube, and the driver chip is powered by the first internal power supply 41. When the first internal power supply 41 is turned off, the driver chips of the switch tubes in Figure 4 lose power. At this time, the first inductor Lr1, the second inductor Lr2, the third inductor Lr3, the first body diode D1, the second body diode D2, the third body diode D3, the fourth body diode D4, the fifth body diode D5 and the sixth body diode D6 of the AC / DC converter 10 form a three-phase rectifier bridge, which still has a rectification function and can convert the three-phase AC power of the three-phase AC power supply into a DC output. After the wake-up module 50 sends an enable signal to the first internal power supply 41, the first internal power supply 41 can draw power from the output end of the AC / DC converter 10 so that the first internal power supply 41 can be turned on immediately. After the first internal power supply 41 is turned on, it can power the driver chip of the switch tube, and the internal controller 30 can control the conduction or shutdown of the switch tube in the AC / DC converter 10, so that the AC / DC converter 10 can operate normally.

[0080] Optionally, a power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 is connected to an output end of the AC / DC converter 10 .

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the second internal power source 42 can be powered by the output terminal of the AC / DC converter 10. The second internal power source 42 can be a DC-to-DC power module.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another DC charging module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 is obtained based on Figure 3. As shown in Figure 5, the DC charging module also includes a first diode D11. The power supply end of the wake-up module 50 is connected to the output end of the first internal power supply 41 and the cathode of the first diode D11. The anode of the first diode D11 is connected to the output end of the second internal power supply 42.

[0083] When the first internal power supply 41 is on, the voltage at the output of the first internal power supply 41 is greater than the voltage at the output of the second internal power supply 42. At this time, the first diode D11 is not conducting, and the wake-up module 50 is powered by the first internal power supply 41. When the first internal power supply 41 is off, the voltage at the output of the first internal power supply 41 is less than the voltage at the output of the second internal power supply 42. At this time, the first diode D11 is conducting, and the wake-up module 50 is powered by the second internal power supply 42.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the standby power consumption of the second internal power supply 42 is very low, and the second internal power supply 42 can be continuously turned on. By adding a first diode D11 between the output end of the first internal power supply 41 and the output end of the second internal power supply 42, the switching of the internal power supply for powering the wake-up module 50 is realized.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another DC charging module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 is obtained based on Figure 3. The internal controller 30 is further configured to shut down the second internal power supply 42 when the first internal power supply 41 is turned on. The internal controller 30 can send a shutdown signal to the second internal power supply 42 to shut it down. The internal controller 30 can also send an enable signal to the second internal power supply 42 to turn it on.

[0086] As shown in FIG6 , a second switch S2 can be provided in the second internal power supply 42. The second switch S2 can be provided between the positive pole of the power supply end of the second internal power supply 42 and the first phase L1 of the three-phase AC power supply (the second switch S2 can be provided outside the second internal power supply 42 or inside the second internal power supply 42. FIG6 takes the second switch S2 provided inside the second internal power supply 42 as an example).

[0087] When the second switch S2 receives a shutdown signal, the second switch S2 is turned off, and the second internal power supply 42 is turned off. When the second switch S2 receives an enable signal, the second switch S2 is turned on, and the second internal power supply 42 is turned on.

[0088] The second switch S2 can be any one of a relay, an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a triode, and a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). When the second switch S2 is an N-type MOS transistor, the enable signal is a high-level signal, and the disable signal is a low-level signal.

[0089] The internal controller 30 is configured to send an enable signal to the second internal power supply 42 upon receiving the sleep instruction sent by the wake-up module 50, so as to turn on the second internal power supply 42;

[0090] The internal controller 30 is further configured to send a shutdown signal to the first internal power source 41 after sending an enable signal to the second internal power source 42 , so as to shut down the first internal power source 41 .

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, upon receiving the sleep command from the wake-up module 50, the internal controller 30 first sends an enable signal to the second internal power supply 42 to turn on the second internal power supply 42 and ensure power to the wake-up module 50. It then sends a shutdown signal to the first internal power supply 41 to turn off the first internal power supply 41. This reduces the standby power consumption of the DC charging module while ensuring that the wake-up module 50 remains powered.

[0092] The first internal power supply 41 is turned on after receiving the wake-up instruction sent by the wake-up module 50. When the first internal power supply 41 is turned on, the internal controller 30 turns off the second internal power supply 42 to reduce the overall power consumption of the DC charging module.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a DC charging pile provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 7, the DC charging pile may include a DC charging module and an AC power supply.
