Power supply and electronic device
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411311449.X, filed on September 19, 2024, and entitled "Power supply and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of power supply, in particular to a power supply and an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0003] With the development of electronic devices such as notebook computers, higher requirements are put forward for the endurance of electronic devices, and therefore the power supply efficiency has become an important indicator affecting the competitiveness of electronic devices. In order to obtain higher capacity, the batteries in general electronic devices are used in series, so the voltage of the overall battery is high, and needs to be reduced to the voltage required by the load device through a step-down conversion circuit. However, due to the large fluctuation of the voltage of the battery, the voltage required by different load devices is usually within a certain fixed range, so it may lead to insufficient battery power to meet the needs of the load side. For example, the voltage range of the battery is 9-13.5V, and the voltage range required by the load device is 5-6V. The voltage conversion circuit in the form of a switched capacitor works in an open-loop state, and the power conversion efficiency is high, but it can only achieve a voltage conversion of 2 / 1, i.e. converting the battery voltage of 9-13.5V to 4.5-6.75V. It can be seen that the voltage range exceeds the requirements of the load device. Therefore, how to improve the power supply efficiency under the premise of meeting the voltage requirements of the load is a problem to be solved. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a power supply and an electronic device, which can improve the power supply efficiency under the premise of meeting the voltage requirements of the load.
[0005] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a power supply, comprising: a battery input positive electrode; the battery input positive electrode is electrically connected to a bus positive electrode through a step-down voltage conversion circuit; a control device, the control device is used to control the step-down voltage conversion circuit to keep the ratio of the voltage value of the bus positive electrode to the voltage value of the battery input positive electrode unchanged when the voltage value of the battery input positive electrode is less than or equal to a first threshold value and the voltage value of the battery input positive electrode is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, the second threshold value is less than the first threshold value; the control device is also used to control the step-down voltage conversion circuit to make the voltage value of the bus positive electrode be a first voltage value when the voltage value of the battery input positive electrode is greater than or equal to the first threshold value; the control device is also used to control the step-down voltage conversion circuit to make the voltage value of the bus positive electrode be a second voltage value when the voltage value of the battery input positive electrode is less than or equal to the second threshold value.
[0006] The power supply in the embodiments of the present application, when the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the voltage value ratio of the positive pole of the bus to the positive pole of the battery input end is kept unchanged by controlling the buck voltage conversion circuit, that is, working in an open loop state. Through the open loop control of the buck voltage conversion circuit, the buck voltage conversion circuit has a higher power conversion efficiency. When the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is greater than the first threshold value, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus is the first voltage value by controlling the buck voltage conversion circuit, that is, working in a closed loop state. When the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is less than the second threshold value, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus is the second voltage value by controlling the buck voltage conversion circuit, that is, working in another closed loop state. In the two closed loop states, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus will not exceed the first voltage value and the second voltage value, that is, the voltage of the positive pole of the bus can be kept in the voltage range required by the load within a larger input voltage range, to adapt to the needs of the load and avoid the voltage fluctuation of the bus exceeding the voltage demand of the load, thereby reducing the power conversion efficiency of the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch, that is, improving the power supply efficiency on the premise of meeting the voltage demand of the load.

[0038] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0039] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0041] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used herein is only to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are a "or" relationship.
[0042] Before the embodiments of the present application are introduced, the related art and its technical problems are first described.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 1, in an electronic device, a power supply interface is used to connect an external power supply, a charger has a bidirectional voltage conversion function of buck and boost, which is used to charge a battery after voltage conversion of the external power supply, and the battery supplies power to load devices on each branch through a bus, the load devices include, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a screen, a memory, a Type-C interface, a power amplifier (PA), and the like, each load device is electrically connected to the bus through a corresponding voltage converter, and the voltage converter of the CPU is an Intel mobile voltage positioning (IMVP). On the one hand, the battery can be composed of a plurality of single batteries connected in series, and since the number of battery strings is not uniform, the bus voltage range is large, and the voltages required by the load devices are different, and the large bus voltage range will result in low efficiency of the voltage converter.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 2, assuming that in the scenario of the bus of 12V supplying power to two loads, load 1 needs a supply voltage of 0.8V, and load 2 needs a supply voltage of 3.3V, the first buck conversion circuit buck1 needs to convert 12V to 0.8V, and the second buck conversion circuit buck2 needs to convert 12V to 3.3V, since the voltage conversion drop of the two voltage conversion circuits is large, the working efficiency is low. If a 1 / 2 fixed buck ratio charge pump is added between the bus of 12V and the two load branches, the charge pump includes four switching devices, a flying capacitor Cfly and an output capacitor Co. The input end of the charge pump is electrically connected to the battery, and the output end is electrically connected to the input end of the two voltage conversion circuits, and the charge pump works in an open loop mode, which can convert 12V to 6V. The first buck conversion circuit buck1 needs to convert 6V to 0.8V, and the second buck conversion circuit buck2 needs to convert 6V to 3.3V, so that the bus voltage is reduced, the voltage conversion drop of the two voltage conversion circuits is small, and the working efficiency is improved. However, since the charge pump works in an open loop mode, it can only achieve 1 / 2 voltage conversion, therefore, when the bus voltage rises to more than 12V, it exceeds the load voltage requirement, which will cause the input voltage of the first buck conversion circuit buck1 and the second buck conversion circuit buck2 to increase, thereby reducing the power conversion efficiency.
[0045] The embodiments of the present application can solve the above problems, and the embodiments of the present application are described below.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 3, the embodiment of the present application provides a power supply, comprising: a battery input positive terminal in+ for electrically connecting a battery positive terminal; the battery input positive terminal in+ is electrically connected to a bus positive terminal bus+ through a step-down voltage conversion circuit 1, that is, an input terminal of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 is electrically connected to the battery input positive terminal in+. An output terminal of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 is electrically connected to the bus positive terminal bus+. The bus positive terminal bus+ is used for connecting a load branch, and the load branch has a load and a corresponding voltage conversion circuit, and the load is electrically connected to the bus positive terminal bus+ through the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch. That is, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 is used for outputting the battery voltage after voltage conversion to the bus positive terminal bus+ so as to convert the bus positive voltage Vbus+ to the voltage required by the load by the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch to supply power to the load.
[0047] The power supply further comprises a control device 2, as shown in FIG. 4, which is used for controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to keep the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive terminal bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive terminal in+ unchanged when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive terminal in+ is less than or equal to a first threshold value Vt1 and the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive terminal in+ is greater than or equal to a second threshold value Vt2. For example, Vt1=12V and Vt2=10V, and it is assumed that the ratio of Vbus+ to Vin+ is 1 / 2, that is, when 10V≤Vin+≤12V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 1 / 2Vin+ to the bus positive terminal bus+.
[0048] It is assumed that the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch has a high efficiency in the bus positive voltage range of 5-6V. When Vin+=12V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 6V to the bus positive terminal bus+; when Vin+=11V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 5.5V to the bus positive terminal bus+; and when Vin+=10V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 5V to the bus positive terminal bus+. When 10V≤Vin+≤12V, the process of controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to keep the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive terminal bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive terminal in+ unchanged is open-loop control, which can make the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 have a high power conversion efficiency, and at the same time, since the bus positive voltage Vbus+ can be ensured to be in the range of 5-6V when 10V≤Vin+≤12V, it will not exceed the requirement of the load, so that the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch also has a high efficiency.
[0049] The control device 2 is also configured to control the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to make the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ be a first voltage value V1, for example V1=6V, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ is greater than or equal to a first threshold value Vt1, that is, when Vin+≥6V, the control device 2 controls the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to output 6V to the bus positive pole bus+. When Vin+=12V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 6V to the bus positive pole bus+; when Vin+=13V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 6V to the bus positive pole bus+; when Vin+=14V, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 outputs 6V to the bus positive pole bus+. When Vin+≥12V, the process of controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to make the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ be 6V is a closed-loop control process, and the bus positive pole voltage Vbus+ can be kept in the required 6V voltage range within a large input voltage range, so as to adapt to the needs of the load and avoid a large bus voltage range to reduce the power conversion efficiency of the voltage conversion circuit on the load branch.
[0050] The control device 2 is also configured to control the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 to make the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ be a second voltage value V2, for example V2=5V, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ is less than or equal to a second threshold value Vt2. For example, when Vin+=10V, Vbus+=5V, when Vin+=9V, Vbus+=5V, and when Vin+=8.5V, Vbus+=5V. When Vin+≤10V, making Vbus+=5V is a closed-loop control process, which can avoid the problem that the bus voltage cannot meet the needs of the load when the battery voltage decreases, thereby expanding the battery voltage range, that is, the power supply can adapt to a larger battery voltage range, and open-loop control can be realized in the voltage range between Vt1 and Vt2 on this basis to improve the power conversion efficiency as much as possible.
[0051] Specifically, for example, the load branch includes a first load and a second load, the first load is electrically connected to the bus positive pole bus+ through a first voltage conversion circuit, and the second load is electrically connected to the bus positive pole bus+ through a second voltage conversion circuit, the first voltage conversion circuit is configured to convert the bus positive pole voltage Vbus+ to 0.8V, and the second voltage conversion circuit is configured to convert the bus positive pole voltage Vbus+ to 3.3V. In the embodiment of the present application, the bus positive pole voltage Vbus+ can be controlled to be within the range of 5-6V, so that the first voltage conversion circuit and the second voltage conversion circuit do not need to perform voltage conversion in a large voltage range, thereby improving the power conversion efficiency.
[0052] The power supply in the embodiments of the present application, when the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the voltage value ratio of the positive pole of the bus to the positive pole of the battery input end is kept unchanged by controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit, i.e. working in an open loop state. The step-down voltage conversion circuit has a high power conversion efficiency by open loop control. When the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is greater than the first threshold value, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus is the first voltage value by controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit, i.e. working in a closed loop state. When the voltage value of the positive pole of the battery input end is less than the second threshold value, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus is the second voltage value by controlling the step-down voltage conversion circuit, i.e. working in another closed loop state. In the two closed loop states, the voltage value of the positive pole of the bus will not exceed the first voltage value and the second voltage value, i.e. the voltage of the positive pole of the bus can be kept in the voltage range required by the load in a large input voltage range, so as to meet the needs of the load and avoid large voltage fluctuation of the bus exceeding the voltage requirement of the load, thereby reducing the power conversion efficiency of the voltage conversion circuit in the load branch, i.e. improving the power supply efficiency under the premise of meeting the voltage requirement of the load.
[0053] In some possible embodiments, the step-down voltage conversion circuit is an n-level step-down voltage conversion circuit, n≥3. For example, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 shown in FIG. 3 is a 3-level step-down voltage conversion circuit.
[0054] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in FIG. 3, n=3, the power supply further includes a battery input negative terminal in-, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 includes: a first switching device Q1, a second switching device Q2, a third switching device Q3 and a fourth switching device Q4 connected in series between a battery input positive terminal in+ and the battery input negative terminal in- in sequence, each switching device may be, for example, a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) or the like, the switching device is a three-terminal device, including a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal, the signal of the control terminal can control the conduction and the cutoff between the first terminal and the second terminal to realize the switching function, and the series connection herein refers to the first terminal and the second terminal of each switching device being connected in sequence. It can be understood that devices capable of realizing the switching function can all be referred to as switching devices, for example, two MOSFETs connected in series as a switching device, and the like. The step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 further includes a flying capacitor Cfly, a first terminal of the flying capacitor Cfly is electrically connected to a connection node A between the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2, a second terminal of the flying capacitor Cfly is electrically connected to a connection node B between the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4, and a voltage Vc of the flying capacitor Cfly is equal to 1 / 2 Vin+. The step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 further includes an inductor L, a first terminal of the inductor L is electrically connected to a connection node C between the second switching device Q2 and the third switching device Q3, and a second terminal of the inductor L is electrically connected to the bus positive terminal bus+. The step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 further includes an output capacitor Co, a first terminal of the output capacitor Co is electrically connected to the bus positive terminal bus+, and a second terminal of the output capacitor Co is electrically connected to the battery input negative terminal bus-. The control device 2 is electrically connected to the control terminals of the first switching device Q1, the second switching device Q2, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4, and the control device 2 controls the conduction and the cutoff of each switching device by providing a Pulse Width Modulation wave (PWM) signal to the control terminal of each switching device, each switching device switches between the conduction state and the cutoff state. The switching duty ratio of the switching device is the ratio of the conduction time to the cycle time. As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 shows the switching timing of the switching devices Q1-Q4, the voltage vL across the inductor L and the direct current value iL of the inductor L, and the switching timing shown in FIG. 6 is the voltage of the control terminal of each switching device, the high level indicates that the corresponding switching device is in conduction, and the low level indicates that the corresponding switching device is in cutoff.It can be understood that the switch device can also be a P-type MOSFET, for which a low level indicates that the corresponding switch device is turned on, and a high level indicates that the corresponding switch device is turned off. In the embodiments of the present application, the switching sequence in which a high level indicates that the switch device is turned on and a low level indicates that the switch device is turned off is illustrated and described.

The phase shift angle of the switching sequence of the first switch device Q1 and the second switch device Q2 is 180°.
[0055] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the control device 2 is specifically configured to control the switching duty cycle D of the first switch device Q1 and the second switch device Q2 to be equal to 0.5 when the voltage value Vin+ of the positive electrode in+ of the battery input end is less than or equal to the first threshold value Vt1 and the voltage value Vin+ of the positive electrode in+ of the battery input end is greater than or equal to the second threshold value Vt2, for example, 10V≤Vin+≤12V. When the switching duty cycle D of the first switch device Q1 and the second switch device Q2 is 0.5, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 works in multiple periods, and each period includes a first time period t1 and a second time period t2. In the first time period t1, the first switch device Q1 and the third switch device Q3 are turned on, and the second switch device Q2 and the fourth switch device Q4 are turned off, and the battery charges the flying capacitor Cfly. In the second time period t2, the first switch device Q1 and the third switch device Q3 are turned off, and the second switch device Q2 and the fourth switch device Q4 are turned on, and the flying capacitor Cfly is discharged. The flying capacitor voltage Vc=Vin+ / 2, and the output voltage Vo=Vin+ / 2, that is, the bus positive voltage Vbus+. The arrow in FIG. 6 indicates the current flow direction. In the process of alternation of the first time period t1 and the second time period t2, the voltage vL across the inductor L is 0V, that is, the direct current flows through the inductor L, and the direct current value iL of the inductor L is the output current value iout of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1, that is, the load current value. The inductor L actually functions as a resistor, and the ripple current of the inductor L is zero. In this process, the magnetic loss and the alternating current copper loss of the inductor L are not generated, and only the direct current copper loss of the inductor L is increased, so that the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 can have a higher power conversion efficiency.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the control device 2 is specifically configured to, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+ is greater than the first threshold value Vt1, for example, Vin+>12V, control the switching duty cycle D of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 to be less than 0.5, and control the switching duty cycle D to be negatively correlated with the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+, that is, the greater Vin+, the smaller D. In the timing shown in FIG. 7, only D=0.25 is taken as an example for description. The step-down type conversion circuit conversion circuit 1 also works periodically, and each period includes a first time period t1, a second time period t2, a third time period t3 and a fourth time period t4 in turn. In the first time period t1, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 are turned on, the second switching device Q2 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned off, the battery charges the flying capacitor Cfly to the flying capacitor voltage Vc=Vin+ / 2, the output voltage Vo<Vin+ / 2, the inductor L is charged, the inductor current iL gradually rises, and the voltage across the inductor vL=Vin+ / 2-Vo. In the second time period t2, the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 are turned off, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned on, the inductor current iL gradually decreases, and the voltage across the inductor vL=-Vo. In the third time period t3, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 are turned off, the second switching device Q2 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned on, the flying capacitor Cfly charges the inductor L, the inductor current iL gradually rises, the voltage across the inductor vL=Vin+ / 2-Vo, and the output voltage Vo<Vin+ / 2. In the fourth time period t4, the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 are turned off, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned on, and similar to the second time period t2, the inductor current iL gradually decreases. Repeating the four time periods keeps the output voltage Vo<Vin+ / 2, Vo / Vin+=D, and by controlling D to be negatively correlated with Vin+, the output voltage Vo=V1=6V can be kept. The process of D<0.5 is a closed-loop control process, in which the inductor L ripple current frequency is 2 times the switching frequency, the inductor current DC component is equal to the load current size, the AC component is related to D, the more D deviates from 50%, the larger the AC component, and the larger the corresponding magnetic loss and AC copper loss. Therefore, when designing, the narrower the voltage regulation range, the smaller the range of D deviating from 50%, the smaller the inductance required, and the smaller the inductance loss and the higher the conversion efficiency.
[0057] As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the control device 2 is specifically configured to control the switching duty cycle D of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 to be greater than 0.5 when the voltage value Vin+ of the positive electrode in+ of the battery is less than the second threshold value Vt2. In the timing diagram shown in FIG. 9, only the case of D = 0.75 is taken as an example for illustration. The step-down circuit conversion circuit 1 also operates periodically, and each period includes a first time period t1, a second time period t2, a third time period t3 and a fourth time period t4 in turn. In the first time period t1, the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 are turned on, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned off, the inductor L is charged, the inductor current iL gradually rises, and the voltage vL across the inductor is Vin+ - Vo. In the second time period t2, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 are turned on, the second switching device Q2 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned off, the battery charges the flying capacitor Cfly, the inductor current iL gradually decreases, and the voltage vL across the inductor is -Vin+ / 2 - Vo. In the third time period t3, the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 are turned on, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned off, the inductor L is charged, the inductor current iL gradually rises, and the voltage vL across the inductor is Vin+ - Vo. In the fourth time period t4, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 are turned off, the second switching device Q2 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned on, the inductor current iL gradually decreases, and the voltage vL across the inductor is -Vin+ / 2 - Vo. The four time periods are repeated to keep the output voltage Vo > Vin+ / 2, Vo / Vin+ = D, and by controlling D to be negatively related to Vin+, the output voltage Vo = V2 = 5V can be maintained. The process of D > 0.5 is also a closed-loop control process, in which the inductor L has a ripple current frequency that is twice the switching frequency, the direct current component of the inductor current is equal to the size of the load current, the alternating current component is related to D, and the greater the deviation of D from 50%, the greater the alternating current component, and the greater the magnetic loss and alternating current copper loss. Therefore, when designing, it is desirable to have a narrower voltage regulation range, so that the range of deviation of D from 50% is smaller, the inductance required is smaller, the inductance loss is smaller, and the conversion efficiency is higher.

Taking the example of the bus positive pole bus+ requiring 5V-6V voltage, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ is between 10V and 12V, the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ can be kept at 1 / 2 through open-loop control, so that the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 has a higher power conversion efficiency on the basis of meeting the bus positive pole voltage requirement; when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ is greater than 12V, the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ can be kept at 6V through closed-loop control to meet the bus positive pole voltage requirement; when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ is less than 10V, the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ can be kept at 5V through closed-loop control to meet the bus positive pole voltage requirement.
[0059] It should be noted that the topology structure of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 shown in Fig. 3 is only an example, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the topology structure of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1, as long as the control process shown in Fig. 4 can be implemented.

In other topology structures, the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ can also be kept at 1 / 3, 1 / 4 or other ratios in the open-loop control process. As shown in Fig. 11, the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 is m+1-level buck, m is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and m=2, i.e. 3-level buck. In the open-loop control process, Vo=(1 / m)×Vin+, that is, the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ can be kept at 1 / m in the open-loop control process. When m=3, i.e. 4-level buck, the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ can be kept at 1 / 3 in the open-loop control process; similarly, when m=4, i.e. 5-level buck, the ratio of the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive pole bus+ to the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive pole in+ can be kept at 1 / 4 in the open-loop control process. The specific control process and principle will not be described again.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 14, the control device 2 is specifically configured to, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive terminal in+ is greater than the first threshold value Vt1, make the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive terminal bus+ be a first voltage value V1 by adjusting at least one of the switching frequency, the switching duty cycle and the phase shift angle.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 15, the control device 2 is further configured to, when the voltage value of the battery input positive terminal in+ is less than the second threshold value Vt2, make the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive terminal bus+ be a second voltage value V2 by adjusting at least one of the switching frequency, the switching duty cycle and the phase shift angle.
[0065] The timing shown in FIGS. 13-15 can be used to implement the control process shown in FIG. 4. For example, the phase shift angle in FIG. 13 is The phase shift angle in FIG. 14 is The phase shift angle in FIG. 15 is It should be noted that FIGS. 13-15 only show three cases of different phase shift angles, and in fact, the specific control process of the three scenarios is related to the switching frequency, the switching duty cycle and the phase shift angle. By controlling these parameters, the relationship between the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive bus+ and the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive in+ can be controlled, the smaller the voltage adjustment range, the closer to the resonance point, the higher the efficiency. Narrow closed-loop control means that the closed-loop control range of Vin+> Vt1 and Vin+< Vt2 is narrow, and relatively, the open-loop control range of Vt2≤Vin+≤Vt1 is wide, that is, it is beneficial to improve the efficiency of electric energy conversion.

[0067] As shown in Fig. 17, the control device 2 is specifically configured to, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+ is less than or equal to the first threshold value Vt1 and the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+ is greater than or equal to the second threshold value Vt2, control the switching duty cycle D of the first switching device Q1 to be equal to a, 1>a>0. Vo / Vin+=D, Vo is the output voltage, that is, the bus positive voltage Vbus+. D=a, that is, the duty cycles of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 remain unchanged, by setting a to be different values, that is, the ratio of Vbus+ to Vin+ can be changed, to realize open-loop control. In this process, the inductor L is equivalent to the role of a resistor, and the magnetic loss of the inductor is small, so the power conversion efficiency of the step-down voltage conversion circuit 1 is relatively high. The control device 2 is specifically configured to, when the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+ is greater than the first threshold value Vt1, control the switching duty cycle D of the first switching device Q1 to be less than a, and control the switching duty cycle D to be negatively correlated with the voltage value Vin+ of the battery input positive electrode in+, that is, the voltage value Vbus+ of the bus positive electrode bus+ can be kept as the first voltage value V1, to realize closed-loop control.
