Description

Current control circuit and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronics, and relates to a current control circuit for a bidirectional DC-DC converter.
Background
Since the bidirectional DC-DC converter can operate in the forward direction or the reverse direction, bidirectional transmission of energy can be realized, that is, electric energy is allowed to be transmitted from a defined input side to an output side and electric energy is also allowed to be transmitted from a defined output side to an input side.
The bidirectional converter can define two working directions, and when the bidirectional converter works in the positive direction, energy is transmitted from the input side to the output side; in reverse operation, energy is transferred from the output side to the input side. The bidirectional converter has different requirements for voltage or current or power at an output side according to different application occasions, for example, in the application occasion of battery equalization, the input side and the output side of the bidirectional converter are connected with a battery or a battery pack, the current at the output side of the bidirectional converter needs to be controlled by constant current, and the output current is required to be unchanged in magnitude after the bidirectional converter switches the working direction, and only the direction is changed.
For realizing the current control of the output side, the prior art provides a control circuit for realizing the constant current of the output side current, and as shown in fig. 1, the current of the output side of the converter can be stabilized at different current values by arranging different voltage dividing resistors or different bandgap voltage reference sources on the output side. However, the following problems exist when such a control circuit is applied to a bidirectional converter: 1. when the converter works in the forward direction and the reverse direction, the current directions on the current sampling resistors are opposite: the voltage obtained by the current sampling resistor is positive when the converter works in the reverse direction, and the voltage obtained by the current sampling resistor is negative when the converter works in the forward direction, so that a positive band-gap voltage reference source and a negative band-gap voltage reference source are needed to enable the control circuit to work normally when the converter works in the forward direction or the reverse direction, but the realization of the negative band-gap voltage reference source is difficult under the condition that external power supply only has positive voltage. 2. When the working direction of the converter is switched, the switching of the working direction of the bandgap voltage reference source is performed, so that the control circuit is changed, and the electric signal oscillation or the electric signal spike generated when the control circuit is changed affects the input of an error amplifier in the converter, so that the current at the output side of the converter is jittered or spiked.
In summary, the existing method is difficult to meet the requirement of constant current control of the bidirectional converter, so that the application range of the bidirectional converter is limited.

The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the bidirectional converter operates in a forward direction, a current flows through the current sampling resistor R11, and the output side is located on the right side of the resistor R11, so that the voltage of the node on the left side of the resistor R11 is a negative value, voltages in the directions of left negative and right positive are generated at two ends of the resistor R11, and the absolute value of the voltage of the node on the left side of the resistor R11 is larger as the current flowing through the resistor R11 is larger, namely the absolute value of the voltage obtained by the current sampling resistor R11 is larger. Similarly, when the bidirectional converter operates in the reverse direction, the current also flows through the current sampling resistor R11, the voltage at the node on the left side of the resistor R11 is a positive value, voltages in the left positive and right negative directions are generated across the current sampling resistor R11, and the larger the current flowing through the resistor R11 is, the larger the absolute value of the voltage at the node on the left side of the resistor R11 is, that is, the larger the absolute value of the voltage obtained by the current sampling resistor R11 is.
The voltage signal obtained by the current sampling resistor is transmitted to the second voltage regulating circuit, the band-gap voltage reference source provides a constant voltage for the first voltage regulating circuit and the second voltage regulating circuit, and the constant voltage can generate a forward voltage bias for the voltage obtained by the current sampling resistor R11 after passing through the second voltage regulating circuit, so that when the converter works in the forward direction, the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is reduced along with the increase of the current (the absolute value of the voltage of the node on the left side of the resistor R11) on the output side of the converter, but can be kept at a positive voltage all the time; when the bidirectional converter works in reverse, the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier increases along with the increase of the current (the voltage of the node on the left side of the resistor R11) on the output side of the converter; meanwhile, the constant voltage is input into the first voltage regulating circuit, and after voltage division is carried out through the resistor R3 and the resistor R4, a positive voltage is formed at the inverting input end of the operational amplifier. The voltage signal output by the operational amplifier is transmitted to a PWM circuit in the bidirectional converter after passing through the optocoupler feedback circuit, and the PWM circuit converts the voltage signal output by the optocoupler feedback circuit into a PWM signal and then transmits the PWM signal to a control circuit to execute the control of a switch tube in the main power circuit; when the voltage of the inverting input end of the operational amplifier is equal to the voltage of the non-inverting input end, the input end of the operational amplifier is short virtually, so that the operational amplifier works in a linear amplification area.
The driving signals Vg1, Vg2, Vg3 and Vg4 outputted by the driving circuit are sequentially driving signals applied between the gates and the sources of the switching tubes Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 (the reference ground of the driving signals is sequentially the source of the corresponding switching tubes, and the reference ground of the driving signals is omitted in fig. 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9). The drive signals Vg1, Vg2, Vg3 and Vg4 of the four-way drive switch tube are all drive signals with the same frequency and fixed frequency, and when the drive signals are all high level, the corresponding switch tube is switched on, and when the drive signals are low level, the corresponding switch tube is switched off. Fig. 4 is a control timing chart of the drive signals Vg1, Vg2, Vg3, Vg4, as shown in the figure:
the driving signal Vg2 and the driving signal Vg3 are complementary pulse signals with fixed time range, dead time and adjustable duty ratio, that is, in a working cycle, when the driving signal Vg2 is inverted from a high level to a low level, the driving signal Vg3 is inverted from the low level to the high level after a dead time; after the two signals are maintained for a period of time, when the driving signal Vgs3 is inverted from a high level to a low level, the driving signal Vg2 is inverted from the low level to the high level after a dead time; the next working period is entered by the circulation.
In a working cycle, after a plurality of time when the drive signal Vg3 changes to high level, the drive signal Vg1 is in high level, has a period of time which is same as the high level of the drive signal Vg3, and changes to low level with the drive signal Vg3 to turn off the switch tubes Q1 and Q3; in a working cycle, after a plurality of times when the drive signal Vg2 changes to the high level, the drive signal Vg4 is at the high level, and has a period of time which is at the high level with the drive signal Vg2, and then changes to the low level with the drive signal Vg2 to turn off the switching tubes Q4 and Q2.
The switch Q2 is a bidirectional converter input side switch and the switch Q3 is a bidirectional converter output side switch, and preferably, the duty cycle of the drive of the switch Q2 increases as the output voltage of the optocoupler (i.e., the collector of the optocoupler transistor) increases, whereas the duty cycle of the drive of the switch Q2 decreases as the output voltage of the optocoupler decreases. In the application of battery equalization, the input side and the output side of the bidirectional converter are connected with a battery or a battery pack, which is equivalent to that the input side and the output side have large capacitance, the voltage of the input side and the voltage of the output side are unchanged in a short time, namely before the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2 is not regulated to be stable, the input side and the output side of the bidirectional converter can be regarded as constant voltages, and thus, a reasonable regulation range is set for the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2, so that: an increase in the duty cycle of the switching tube Q2 will increase the output current of the output side of the bidirectional converter in the forward direction, that is: when the bidirectional converter operates in the forward direction, the output current on the output side increases with the increase of the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2, and the decrease of the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2 causes the output current to decrease in the forward direction (i.e., increase in the reverse direction).
In summary, when the bidirectional converter works in the forward direction, the system outputs a constant current, the operational amplifier is short, and if the sampling resistor R11 detects that the current on the output side increases, the following will occur: the current on the output side is increased → the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is reduced along with the increase of the current on the output side → the voltage of the output of the operational amplifier is reduced → the current of the light emitting diode of the optical coupler is increased → the collector voltage of the optical coupler is reduced → the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2 on the input side is reduced → the current on the output side is reduced by regulation, and on the contrary, when the sampling resistor R11 detects that the current on the output side is reduced, the current on the output side is increased by the feedback regulation of the control circuit, and the feedback control process ensures that the output current of the.
When the bidirectional converter works reversely, the system outputs a constant current, the operational amplifier is short, and if the sampling resistor R11 detects that the current of the output side is increased, the current will appear: the current on the output side is increased → the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is increased along with the increase of the current on the output side → the voltage output by the operational amplifier is increased → the current of the light emitting diode of the optical coupler is reduced → the voltage of the collector of the optical coupler is increased → the duty ratio of the switching tube Q2 on the input side is increased → the current on the output side is reduced by regulation, otherwise, the current on the output side is increased by the feedback regulation of the control circuit when the sampling resistor detects the reduction of the current on the output side, and the current on the output side of the converter is also constant current during the reverse.
In addition, the circuit utilizes the current direction control circuit to adjust the voltage offset generated by the second voltage regulating circuit, and meanwhile, the current direction control circuit can be used for realizing the switching of the working direction of the bidirectional converter by controlling the voltage offset of the second voltage regulating circuit. When the converter works in the forward direction, the voltage output by the current sampling circuit (the node on the left side of the sampling resistor R11) is negative, and is converted into positive voltage under the action of the second voltage regulating circuit and the band-gap reference voltage source and output to the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier; when the converter works in the reverse direction, the voltage of the output (the node on the left side of the sampling resistor R11) of the current sampling circuit is positive, and compared with the forward direction work of the converter, the forward direction voltage bias can be equivalently obtained by the output voltage of the current sampling circuit. After the current direction control circuit works, the voltage offset generated by the second voltage regulating circuit is reduced, so that the equivalent forward voltage offset obtained by the current sampling circuit after the bidirectional converter is switched from the forward working state to the reverse working state is offset. Therefore, the current direction control circuit can enable the bidirectional converter to work in a forward direction or a reverse direction, and the voltage at the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is the same, so that the bidirectional current constant-current control of the converter is realized under the condition that only one band-gap voltage reference source is used.
Preferably, the current direction control circuit is implemented by a switch in this embodiment, and the switch is connected in parallel with the resistor R7. The resistance voltage division relationship shows that: the voltage across the capacitor C4 is different between the on and off states of the switch. The voltage of the capacitor C4 increases after the switch is turned off, and conversely, the voltage of the capacitor C4 decreases after the switch is turned on. When the current at the output side is constant, namely the current at the output side is the same in magnitude and opposite in direction when the bidirectional converter works in the forward direction and works in the reverse direction. The condition that the voltage of the capacitor C4 is changed in the same size and opposite direction with the voltage obtained by the current sampling circuit before and after the switch is turned off is that the voltage is changed in the same size and opposite direction. After the switch is turned off, the voltage of the capacitor C4 is greater than the voltage of the capacitor C4 when the switch is turned on, and there will be: the voltage of the capacitor C4 is increased → the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is increased → the voltage of the output of the operational amplifier is increased → the current of the light-emitting diode of the optical coupler is reduced → the voltage of the collector of the optical coupler is increased → the duty ratio of the input side switching tube Q2 is increased → the output current is adjusted to be increased in the forward direction, the voltage of the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is reduced under the action of the second voltage adjusting circuit and the band gap reference voltage source → the voltages of the non-inverting input end and the inverting input end of the operational amplifier are equal, and the output current reaches the forward constant current value (the condition that the voltage change amount of the capacitor C4 is equal to the voltage change amount obtained by the current sampling circuit before and. Therefore, the working direction of the bidirectional converter is changed into a forward working state by switching off the switch, and similarly, the working direction of the bidirectional converter is changed into a reverse working state by switching on the switch, so that the current direction of the bidirectional converter is switched.
Meanwhile, the capacitor can prevent voltage mutation, the voltage output by the current sampling circuit and the voltage of the capacitor C4 are coupled through the resistors R1 and R2 and then output to the in-phase input end of the operational amplifier, after the switching state is changed, the voltage of the capacitor C4 is slowly changed, the voltage of the in-phase input end of the operational amplifier is also slowly changed, so that when the working direction of the bidirectional converter is switched, the operational amplifier works in a linear amplification area, and the current change of the bidirectional converter is smooth and has no peak.
Fig. 4 and 5 are graphs showing the test results of the output current of the bidirectional converter of the present embodiment in the forward operation and the reverse operation, respectively, where Vin is the input-side voltage, Vo is the output-side voltage, and Io is the output-side current. As can be seen from the data in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the full range of the output current of the bidirectional converter is about 9.1A-9.6A when the bidirectional converter works in the forward direction or the reverse direction, and the control precision of the constant current is less than or equal to +/-4%. Fig. 6 is the current waveform of the embodiment during the switching of the working direction, and it can be seen that the current change is smooth and has no peak during the switching of the working direction.
Second embodiment
Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing a structure in which a circuit according to a second embodiment of the current control circuit of the present invention is applied to a bidirectional converter, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a circuit according to this embodiment applied to a bidirectional converter, and compared with the first embodiment, a connection point of a resistor R3 and a resistor R4 is modified to be connected to an op-amp non-inverting input terminal, and a connection point of a resistor R1 and a resistor R2 is modified to be connected to an op-amp inverting input terminal, so that an output of a second voltage regulating circuit is inverted with respect to an output of an error amplifier; the connection relation of the optical coupling feedback circuit is modified as follows: the emitter of the optical coupler triode is connected with one end of a resistor R9 and one end of a capacitor C3 and is connected with a PWM circuit as the output of an optical coupler feedback circuit, the other end of the capacitor C3 is connected with the ground of the input side, the resistor R9 is connected with the capacitor C3 in parallel, and the collector of the optical coupler triode is connected with an auxiliary power supply VCC2, so that the output of the error amplifier and the output of the optical coupler feedback circuit are reversed in phase.
In the first embodiment, the output of the second voltage regulating circuit is in phase with the output of the error amplifier, the output of the error amplifier is in phase with the output of the optical coupling feedback circuit, so the output of the second voltage regulating circuit is in phase with the output of the optical coupling feedback circuit; in this embodiment, the output of the second voltage regulating circuit is in phase opposition to the output of the error amplifier, and the output of the error amplifier is in phase opposition to the output of the optical coupler feedback circuit, so that the output of the second voltage regulating circuit is in phase with the output of the optical coupler feedback circuit, and similarly to the first embodiment, when the bidirectional converter operates in the forward direction and the operational amplifier is in an output constant current state, if the sampling resistor R11 detects that the output-side current increases, the following occurs: the output side current increases → the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the op-amp decreases with the increase of the output side current → the voltage at the output of the op-amp increases → the photo-coupler reflector voltage decreases → the duty cycle of the input side switch Q2 decreases → the output side current decreases and returns to the output constant current state, whereas the output side current increases through the feedback regulation of the control circuit when the sampling resistor R11 detects the decrease of the output side current, which is the same as the feedback control principle of the first embodiment. Similarly, when the bidirectional converter operates in reverse, the feedback control principle is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore the second embodiment can make the output-side current of the bidirectional converter constant.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that the above-described preferred embodiment should not be construed as limiting the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that several modifications and embellishments can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, such as current sampling by using a current transformer instead of a resistor, and switching by using a MOS transistor or a triode instead of a resistor, and these modifications and embellishments should be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and are not described in detail herein, and the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the scope defined by the claims. In addition, all the connection/connection relations referred to in the patent do not mean that the components are directly connected, but mean that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection auxiliary components according to specific implementation conditions. All technical characteristics in the invention can be interactively combined on the premise of not conflicting with each other.
