本申请涉及电路技术领域,尤指一种直流转换器、电子设备及该直流转换器的控制方法。The present application relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular, to a DC converter, an electronic device and a control method of the DC converter.
LLC谐振转换电路是一种常见的直流-直流电压转换电路,以其可以实现开关管软开关被用于多种类型的电力***内的电压转换器中。例如,电动/混合动力汽车的电源管理***、光伏发电***、通信电源供电***、数据中心等电力***内的电压转换器,常需要使用LLC谐振转换电路实现电压转换。The LLC resonant conversion circuit is a common DC-DC voltage conversion circuit, which can realize the soft switching of switch tubes and is used in voltage converters in various types of power systems. For example, voltage converters in power systems such as power management systems for electric/hybrid vehicles, photovoltaic power generation systems, communication power supply systems, and data centers often need to use LLC resonant conversion circuits to achieve voltage conversion.
一般来说,LLC谐振转换电路中主要包括:逆变电路、谐振电路、变压器和整流电路,逆变器电路用于将输入端接收的直流电压转换为交流电并输出给谐振电路,谐振电路用于实现逆变电路软开关,变压器用于将谐振电路输出的交流电输出给整流电路,整流电路用于将变压器输出的交流电转换为直流电并输出。Generally speaking, the LLC resonant conversion circuit mainly includes: an inverter circuit, a resonant circuit, a transformer and a rectifier circuit. The inverter circuit is used to convert the DC voltage received at the input end into AC power and output it to the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit is used for To realize the soft switching of the inverter circuit, the transformer is used to output the alternating current output by the resonant circuit to the rectifier circuit, and the rectifier circuit is used to convert the alternating current output by the transformer into direct current and output it.
实际使用时,根据负载调压需求,电压转换器的输入电压可以在一定范围内波动、且电压转换器的电压转换比可调。LLC谐振转换电路为了实现逆变电路中的开关管软开关和来提高转换效率,逆变电路开关管的导通时序固定,且开关管的开关频率与谐振电路的谐振频率一致,因此,LLC谐振转换电路的电压转化电路的电压转换比固定,导致LLC谐振转换电路难以满足电压转换器的电压转换需求。In actual use, the input voltage of the voltage converter can fluctuate within a certain range, and the voltage conversion ratio of the voltage converter can be adjusted according to the load voltage regulation requirements. LLC resonant conversion circuit In order to realize the soft switching sum of the switches in the inverter circuit to improve the conversion efficiency, the turn-on sequence of the switches of the inverter circuit is fixed, and the switching frequency of the switches is consistent with the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. Therefore, the LLC resonance The voltage conversion ratio of the voltage conversion circuit of the conversion circuit is fixed, which makes it difficult for the LLC resonant conversion circuit to meet the voltage conversion requirements of the voltage converter.
为了满足电压转换器的电压转换需求,现有提出了两级转换器架构来满足电压转换器的需求。如图1所示,LLC谐振转换电路将电压转换器输入端接收的电压进行转换并输出,再通过调压电路将LLC谐振转换电路输出的直流电压进行调压,输出满足电压转换器需求的电压。In order to meet the voltage conversion requirements of the voltage converter, a two-stage converter architecture has been proposed to meet the requirements of the voltage converter. As shown in Figure 1, the LLC resonant conversion circuit converts and outputs the voltage received at the input end of the voltage converter, and then regulates the DC voltage output by the LLC resonant conversion circuit through the voltage regulator circuit to output a voltage that meets the requirements of the voltage converter .
但是上述方案在实施时,两级串联连接的架构总体效率等于两级效率相乘,由于调压电路的转换效率较低,将直接降低了直流转换器的转换效率。为了解决这一问题,提出了一种准并联变换的两级转换器架构,如图2所示,LLC谐振转换电路的输入端接收大部分的输入电压,并将接收电压转换为电压转换器需求的电压,调压电路的输入端接收小部分的输入电压,并将接收的电压转换为电压转换器需求的电压。However, when the above solution is implemented, the overall efficiency of the two-stage series-connected architecture is equal to the multiplication of the two-stage efficiency. Since the conversion efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit is low, the conversion efficiency of the DC converter will be directly reduced. To solve this problem, a two-stage converter architecture with quasi-parallel conversion is proposed. As shown in Figure 2, the input terminal of the LLC resonant conversion circuit receives most of the input voltage and converts the received voltage into the voltage converter demand. The input terminal of the voltage regulation circuit receives a small part of the input voltage and converts the received voltage into the voltage required by the voltage converter.
具体实现时,电压转换器的总效率为两个电路转换效率与输入电压占比的加权平均,当电压转换器的输入电压增大,或者电压转换器的输出电压降低时,由于LLC谐振转换电路的电压转换比固定,只能增加调压电路输入端接收的电压来实现,直接降低了电压转换器的转换效率。In specific implementation, the total efficiency of the voltage converter is the weighted average of the conversion efficiency of the two circuits and the ratio of the input voltage. When the input voltage of the voltage converter increases, or the output voltage of the voltage converter decreases, due to the LLC resonant conversion circuit The voltage conversion ratio is fixed, which can only be achieved by increasing the voltage received at the input end of the voltage regulator circuit, which directly reduces the conversion efficiency of the voltage converter.

The first output terminal is connected to the third output terminal, and the second output terminal is connected to the fourth output terminal. Specifically, the control method mainly includes the following steps:

随着电力电子领域的发展,开关型转换器获得了越来越广泛的应用,相应的,开关型转换器的设计也面临高功率密度,高效率和快速的动态特性等综合性能的要求。为了达到更高的功率密度,通常采用提高开关频率的方法来减小转换器中的电容、电感、变压器等磁性元件的体积,但是开关频率的提高会导致开关损耗的增加,从而降低开关型转换器的 效率。With the development of the power electronics field, switch-mode converters have been widely used. Accordingly, the design of switch-mode converters also faces the requirements of comprehensive performance such as high power density, high efficiency and fast dynamic characteristics. In order to achieve higher power density, the method of increasing the switching frequency is usually used to reduce the volume of magnetic components such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers in the converter. efficiency of the device.
软开关技术是开关型转换器实现高转换效率的重要技术之一。其中,LLC谐振转换器被人们做了大量的研究和广泛的应用。如图3所示,LLC谐振转换器主要包括:逆变电路、谐振电路、变压器和整流电路。其中,逆变电路的第一输出端与谐振电路的一端连接,逆变电路的另一个输出端与变压器原边绕组的一端连接;谐振电路的另一端与变压器原边绕组的另一端连接;变压器副边绕组的两端分别与整流电路的两个输入端连接。Soft switching technology is one of the important technologies for switching converters to achieve high conversion efficiency. Among them, LLC resonant converters have been widely studied and widely used. As shown in Figure 3, the LLC resonant converter mainly includes: an inverter circuit, a resonant circuit, a transformer and a rectifier circuit. The first output end of the inverter circuit is connected to one end of the resonant circuit, the other output end of the inverter circuit is connected to one end of the primary winding of the transformer; the other end of the resonant circuit is connected to the other end of the primary winding of the transformer; the transformer Two ends of the secondary winding are respectively connected with two input ends of the rectifier circuit.
具体工作时,逆变电路中的开关管通常工作在50%占空比的开关频率下,可以通过调整开关管的开关频率控制整个LLC谐振变换器的变比。当在谐振电路的谐振频率下运行时,LLC谐振转换器可以获得软开关和低传导损耗,此时它具有最大的效率。当开关频率越偏离开谐振频率时,LLC谐振转换器效率越低。During specific operation, the switching tube in the inverter circuit usually works at a switching frequency of 50% duty cycle, and the transformation ratio of the entire LLC resonant converter can be controlled by adjusting the switching frequency of the switching tube. The LLC resonant converter can achieve soft switching and low conduction losses when operating at the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit, where it has maximum efficiency. The LLC resonant converter is less efficient as the switching frequency deviates further from the resonant frequency.
具体实现时,为了实现保证LLC谐振转换器的效率,逆变电路中开关管的导通时序和开关频率固定,实现逆变中开关管的开关频率与谐振电路的谐振频率一致,来达到最大的效率,在这种情况下LLC谐振转换电路的变比固定。In the specific implementation, in order to ensure the efficiency of the LLC resonant converter, the conduction sequence and switching frequency of the switch tube in the inverter circuit are fixed, so that the switching frequency of the switch tube in the inverter is consistent with the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit, so as to achieve the maximum efficiency, in this case the ratio of the LLC resonant conversion circuit is fixed.
实际的电源应用中通常需要可调节多种不同的输出电压,且输入电压也可以适应一定的宽范围,转换器需要输出不同的变比来满足电源的运行在不同的变压比,单级LLC谐振转换变换器的变比已经难以满足电源的供电需求,基于此,设置了两级转换器的供电架构。In practical power supply applications, it is usually necessary to adjust a variety of different output voltages, and the input voltage can also adapt to a certain wide range. The converter needs to output different transformation ratios to meet the operation of the power supply at different transformation ratios. Single-stage LLC The transformation ratio of the resonant conversion converter has been difficult to meet the power supply requirements of the power supply. Based on this, the power supply architecture of the two-stage converter is set up.
参见图2所示的两级转换器供电架构示意图。其中,LLC谐振转换器具有固定的电压转换档位,Buck电路用于转换LLC谐振转换器无法转换的电压,实现电压调整。Refer to the schematic diagram of the two-stage converter power supply architecture shown in FIG. 2 . Among them, the LLC resonant converter has a fixed voltage conversion gear, and the Buck circuit is used to convert the voltage that the LLC resonant converter cannot convert to realize voltage adjustment.
例如LLC谐振转换器的效率为97%,Buck电路的效率为88%,LLC谐振转换器的变比为30,图2所示的两级转换器供电架构的输入电压在[40-60]V范围内变动,输出电压在[0.6-1.2]V范围内变动为例。For example, the efficiency of the LLC resonant converter is 97%, the efficiency of the Buck circuit is 88%, the transformation ratio of the LLC resonant converter is 30, and the input voltage of the two-stage converter power supply architecture shown in Figure 2 is [40-60]V For example, the output voltage varies within the range of [0.6-1.2]V.
当两级转换器供电架构下的输入电压为40V、且输出电压为1.2V时,LLC谐振转换器的输入电压为36V,输出电压为1.2V,Buck电路的输入电压为4V,输出电压为1.2V,此时两级转换器供电架构的总效率为36/40*97%+4/40*88%≈96%;当两级转换器供电架构下的输入电压为60V、且输出电压为0.6V时,LLC谐振转换器的输出电压为18V,输出电压为0.6V,Buck电路的输入电压为42V,输出电压为0.6V,此时两级转换器供电架构的总效率为18/60*97%+42/60*88%≈91%。因此,在图2所示转换器结构中,当LLC谐振转换器承受的输入电压与两级转换器供电架构的输入电压的占比越小,转换器的效率越低。When the input voltage of the two-stage converter power supply structure is 40V and the output voltage is 1.2V, the input voltage of the LLC resonant converter is 36V, the output voltage is 1.2V, the input voltage of the Buck circuit is 4V, and the output voltage is 1.2V V, at this time, the total efficiency of the two-level converter power supply architecture is 36/40*97%+4/40*88%≈96%; when the input voltage under the two-level converter power supply architecture is 60V, and the output voltage is 0.6 At V, the output voltage of the LLC resonant converter is 18V, the output voltage is 0.6V, the input voltage of the Buck circuit is 42V, and the output voltage is 0.6V, at this time, the total efficiency of the two-stage converter power supply architecture is 18/60*97 %+42/60*88%≈91%. Therefore, in the converter structure shown in FIG. 2 , when the ratio of the input voltage borne by the LLC resonant converter to the input voltage of the two-stage converter power supply structure is smaller, the efficiency of the converter is lower.

The AC power output by the transformer is converted into DC voltage and then output.
如图4所示,LLC谐振转换单元401的输出端和第一调压电路402的输出端连接,LLC谐振转换单元401的输出端13和第一调压电路402的输出端23连接,LLC谐振转换单元401的输出端14和第一调压电路402的输出端24连接,即,LLC谐振转换单元401的输出侧(第一输出端13和第二输出端14)与第一调压电路402的输出侧(第三输出端23和第四输出端24)并联,因此LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路402的输出电压Vo相同,该输出电压Vo也就是直流转换器400的输出电压。As shown in FIG. 4 , the output terminal of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is connected to the output terminal of the first voltage regulator circuit 402 , the output terminal 13 of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is connected to the output terminal 23 of the first voltage regulator circuit 402 , and the LLC resonates The output terminal 14 of the conversion unit 401 is connected to the output terminal 24 of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 , that is, the output side (the first output terminal 13 and the second output terminal 14 ) of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401 is connected to the first voltage regulating circuit 402 The output side (the third output terminal 23 and the fourth output terminal 24 ) of the DC converter are connected in parallel, so the output voltage Vo of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulating circuit 402 is the same, and the output voltage Vo is the output voltage of the DC converter 400 .

For example, it is assumed that the input current of the DC converter 400 is Ii and the output current is Io. The output current of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is Io1, and the output current of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 is Io2. Since the output side of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is connected in parallel with the output side of the first voltage regulator circuit 402 , the sum of the output current Io1 of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the output current Io2 of the first voltage regulator circuit 402 is the output of the DC converter 400 Current Io, that is, Io1+Io2=Io.
假设LLC谐振转换单元401的效率为a%,LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%可以理解为LLC谐振转换单元401的输出功率与LLC谐振转换单元401的输入功率的比值(多以百分比的形式表示),a可以为大于或等于0,且小于或等于100的任一取值。LLC谐振转换单元的效率满足以下公式一:Assuming that the efficiency of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is a%, the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 can be understood as the ratio of the output power of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 to the input power of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 (mostly expressed in the form of a percentage). ), a can be any value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 100.

其中,N1为LLC谐振转换单元401的变比,以下简称为第一变比N1,N1*Vo=Vi1,Vi1为LLC谐振转换单元的输入电压。Wherein, N1 is the transformation ratio of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401, hereinafter referred to as the first transformation ratio N1, N1*Vo=Vi1, and Vi1 is the input voltage of the LLC resonance conversion unit.
假设第一调压电路402的效率为b%,第一调压电路402的效率b%可以理解为第一调压电路402的输出功率与第一调压电路402的输入功率的比值(多以百分比的形式表示),b可以为大于或等于0,且小于或等于100的任一取值。第一调压电路的效率满足以下公式二:Assuming that the efficiency of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 is b%, the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 can be understood as the ratio of the output power of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 to the input power of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 (more than In the form of percentage), b can be any value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 100. The efficiency of the first voltage regulating circuit satisfies the following formula 2:
(Vi-N1*Vo)*Ii*b%=Vo*Io2 (公式二)(Vi-N1*Vo)*Ii*b%=Vo*Io2 (Formula 2)

其中,η表示直流转换器400的效率。由公式三进一步可以得到如下公式四:Here, η represents the efficiency of the DC converter 400 . From formula three, the following formula four can be obtained:
由公式四可见,在LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%大于第一调压电路402的效率b%时,

具体实现时,控制器403可以是微控制单元(micro controller unit,MCU)、中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、数字信号处理器(digital singnal processor,DSP)中的任一种。当然,控制器403的具体形态不限于上述举例。In specific implementation, the controller 403 may be any one of a microcontroller unit (microcontroller unit, MCU), a central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), and a digital signal processor (digital signal processor, DSP). Of course, the specific form of the controller 403 is not limited to the above examples.
此外,由于本申请实施例中LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路402分别独立进行电压转换,LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路402的开关频率无需保持一致。In addition, since the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulator circuit 402 perform voltage conversion independently in the embodiment of the present application, the switching frequencies of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulator circuit 402 do not need to be consistent.
由公式四可见,LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%大于第一调压电路402的效率b%,且第一变比N1取值越大,则直流转换器400的效率越高。在输出电压Vo固定的情况下,N1的取值越大,LLC谐振转换单元402的输入电压Vi1(Vi1=N1*Vo)便越大,传输更多的电压。因此,在LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%大于第一调压电路的效率b%时,控制器403可以使LLC谐振转换单元401具有更大的变比,使第一调压电路402具有更小的变比。It can be seen from formula 4 that the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is greater than the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulating circuit 402, and the larger the value of the first transformation ratio N1, the higher the efficiency of the DC converter 400. When the output voltage Vo is fixed, the larger the value of N1 is, the larger the input voltage Vi1 (Vi1=N1*Vo) of the LLC resonant conversion unit 402 is, and more voltage is transmitted. Therefore, when the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is greater than the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulation circuit, the controller 403 can make the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 have a larger transformation ratio, and make the first voltage regulation circuit 402 have a higher transformation ratio. Small ratio.
理想情况下,若第一调压电路402具有降压功能,可以是第一调压电路402的变比N2为1,即Vo=Vi2。也就是说,第一调压电路402只进行了电压传输,并未进行电压转换。而第一调压电路402的损耗主要是在电压转换过程中产生的,因此当第二变比N2为1时,可以认为第一调压电路402的损耗最小、且传输更少的功率。Ideally, if the first voltage regulating circuit 402 has a step-down function, the transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 may be 1, that is, Vo=Vi2. That is to say, the first voltage regulating circuit 402 only performs voltage transmission and does not perform voltage conversion. The loss of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 is mainly generated during the voltage conversion process, so when the second transformation ratio N2 is 1, it can be considered that the first voltage regulating circuit 402 has the smallest loss and transmits less power.
若第一调压电路402具有升压功能,可以提高第一调压电路的调压范围。理想情况下, 可以使第一调压电路402的变比N2小于1、且接近0,也就是说,第一调压电路402的输入电压Vi2越小,第一调压电路402传输更少功率。If the first voltage regulating circuit 402 has a boosting function, the voltage regulating range of the first voltage regulating circuit can be increased. Ideally, the transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 can be made smaller than 1 and close to 0, that is to say, the smaller the input voltage Vi2 of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 is, the less power the first voltage regulating circuit 402 transmits .
如前所述,在LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%大于第一调压电路402的效率b%的情况下,为LLC谐振转换单元402配置较大的变比,可以使LLC谐振转换单元401传输更多的功率,有利于进一步提高直流转换器400的效率。然而,由于直流转换器400的应用场景并不十分稳定,如电池电压出现波动、负载的工作电压变化等等,因此LLC谐振转换单元401的变比往往需要随应用场景的改变动态变化。As mentioned above, when the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is greater than the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulating circuit 402, configuring a larger transformation ratio for the LLC resonant conversion unit 402 can make the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 Transmitting more power is beneficial to further improve the efficiency of the DC converter 400 . However, since the application scenarios of the DC converter 400 are not very stable, such as fluctuations in battery voltage, changes in the operating voltage of the load, etc., the transformation ratio of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 often needs to be dynamically changed with changes in the application scenarios.
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中第一变比N1和第二变比N2是可调的。本申请实施例中,控制器403还可以检测当前的总输入电压Vi和直流转换的目标输出电压Va。其中,当前的总输入电压Vi可以是直流转换器400连接的电池的输出电压,直流转换器400的目标输出电压Va可以是负载当前所需的工作电压。如前所述,在连接的电池放电的过程中,电池电压会逐渐降低。具体来说,与输出端13和输出端14连接的负载有可能存在多种工作状态,在不同工作状态下所需的工作电压不同。例如,负载可以为GPU或者蓄电池,当蓄电池的充电过程中,蓄电池的两端的电压逐渐增大。In a possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the first transformation ratio N1 and the second transformation ratio N2 are adjustable. In this embodiment of the present application, the controller 403 may also detect the current total input voltage Vi and the target output voltage Va of DC conversion. The current total input voltage Vi may be the output voltage of the battery connected to the DC converter 400 , and the target output voltage Va of the DC converter 400 may be the operating voltage currently required by the load. As previously mentioned, the battery voltage will gradually decrease during the discharge of the connected battery. Specifically, the loads connected to the output terminal 13 and the output terminal 14 may have various working states, and the required working voltages are different in different working states. For example, the load may be a GPU or a battery, and during the charging process of the battery, the voltage at both ends of the battery gradually increases.
应理解,直流转换器400的输出电压Vo可能与目标输出电压Va相同,也可能与目标输出电压Va不同。直流转换器的输出电压Vo与目标输出电压Va不同时,控制器可以调节直流转换器的变比,从而将直流转换器的输出电压Vo调节为所需的目标输出电压Va。其中,目标输出电压为负载实际需要的电压。It should be understood that the output voltage Vo of the DC converter 400 may be the same as the target output voltage Va, or may be different from the target output voltage Va. When the output voltage Vo of the DC converter is different from the target output voltage Va, the controller can adjust the transformation ratio of the DC converter, so as to adjust the output voltage Vo of the DC converter to the desired target output voltage Va. The target output voltage is the voltage actually required by the load.
示例性的,控制器403可以检测当前的输出电压Vo和总输入电压Vi。在当前的输出电压Vo与直流转换器400的目标输出电压Va不同时,控制器403可以根据总输入电压Vi调节LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路402的变比,从而将直流转换器400的输出电压Vo调节至目标输出电压Va。Exemplarily, the controller 403 may detect the current output voltage Vo and the total input voltage Vi. When the current output voltage Vo is different from the target output voltage Va of the DC converter 400, the controller 403 can adjust the transformation ratio of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulating circuit 402 according to the total input voltage Vi, so as to convert the DC converter The output voltage Vo of 400 is adjusted to the target output voltage Va.
具体来说,控制器403可以执行如图6所示的控制方法调节上述图4中LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路402的变比,提升直流转换器400的转换效率,主要包括以下步骤:Specifically, the controller 403 can execute the control method shown in FIG. 6 to adjust the transformation ratio of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulation circuit 402 in FIG. 4 to improve the conversion efficiency of the DC converter 400 , which mainly includes the following: step:
S601:计算目标变比,目标变比为直流转换器400输入电压与直流转换器的目标输出电压之间的变比。其中,目标变比为Na=Vi/Va。S601: Calculate a target transformation ratio, where the target transformation ratio is the transformation ratio between the input voltage of the DC converter 400 and the target output voltage of the DC converter. The target transformation ratio is Na=Vi/Va.
S602:根据目标变比与第一调压电路的最小变比,从LLC谐振转换单元的多个电压转换档位中确定LLC谐振转换单元的第一变比。S602: According to the target transformation ratio and the minimum transformation ratio of the first voltage regulating circuit, determine the first transformation ratio of the LLC resonance transformation unit from a plurality of voltage transformation gears of the LLC resonance transformation unit.
其中,第一变比N1小于或等于目标变比Na与第一调压电路402最小变比的差值、且小于或等于LLC谐振转换单元401的最大变比。The first transformation ratio N1 is less than or equal to the difference between the target transformation ratio Na and the minimum transformation ratio of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 , and is less than or equal to the maximum transformation ratio of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401 .
一般来说,控制器403可以通过控制LLC谐振转换单元401的逆变电路中的开关管的驱动信号的时序以及开关频率改变LLC谐振转换单元401的电压转换档位,从而实现调整第一变比N1。控制器确定N1具体取值与LLC谐振转换单元的结构有关,控制器可以根据LLC谐振转换单元的具体结构灵活选择设置LLC谐振转换单元的变比的实现方式。Generally speaking, the controller 403 can change the voltage conversion gear of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 by controlling the timing and switching frequency of the driving signal of the switch tube in the inverter circuit of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 , so as to adjust the first transformation ratio N1. The specific value of N1 determined by the controller is related to the structure of the LLC resonant conversion unit, and the controller can flexibly select an implementation manner of setting the transformation ratio of the LLC resonant conversion unit according to the specific structure of the LLC resonant conversion unit.
S603:根据第一变比N1和目标变比确定第一调压电路402的第二变比N2。S603: Determine the second transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 according to the first transformation ratio N1 and the target transformation ratio.
具体来说,控制器402可以根据设置的第一变比N1确定调节LLC谐振转换单元401变比后的输入电压Vi1,即调节后的输入电压Vi1为设置的第一变比N1与目标输出电压Va之间的乘积(Vi1=N1*Va)。Specifically, the controller 402 can determine the input voltage Vi1 after adjusting the ratio of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 according to the set first ratio N1, that is, the adjusted input voltage Vi1 is the set first ratio N1 and the target output voltage The product between Va (Vi1=N1*Va).
控制器403进而可以根据当前的总输入电压Vi确定第一调压电路402调节后的输入电 压Vi2,即Vi2=Vi-Vi1=Vi-N1*Va。也就是说,第二变比N2应设置为N2=(Vi-N1*Va)/Va。控制器可以根据第一调压电路402的具体结构灵活选择设置第一调压电路402的变比的实现方式。The controller 403 can further determine the input voltage Vi2 adjusted by the first voltage regulating circuit 402 according to the current total input voltage Vi, that is, Vi2=Vi-Vi1=Vi-N1*Va. That is, the second transformation ratio N2 should be set as N2=(Vi-N1*Va)/Va. The controller may flexibly select an implementation manner of setting the transformation ratio of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 according to the specific structure of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 .
为了便于理解,本申请实施例接下来以LLC谐振转换单元的效率为a%,第一调压电路的效率为b%的情况为例对图6所示的控制方法进行说明。For ease of understanding, the embodiments of the present application describe the control method shown in FIG. 6 by taking the case where the efficiency of the LLC resonant conversion unit is a% and the efficiency of the first voltage regulating circuit is b% as an example.
本申请实施例中第一变比N1具有多个非连续可调变比,每一个变比对应LLC谐振转换单元401的第一个电压转换档位。In the embodiment of the present application, the first transformation ratio N1 has a plurality of non-continuously adjustable transformation ratios, and each transformation ratio corresponds to the first voltage transformation gear of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 .
如前,LLC谐振转换单元401的效率a%大于第一调压电路402的效率b%,则应尽量增大LLC谐振转换单元401的输入电压Vi1。因此,在LLC谐振转换单元401具有非连续的多个可调变比的情况下,第一变比N1可以是LLC谐振转换单元中的多个可调变比中小于目标变比Na与第一调压电路402最小变比的差值、且与目标变比Na最接近的可调变比。As before, if the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is greater than the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulating circuit 402, the input voltage Vi1 of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 should be increased as much as possible. Therefore, when the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 has a plurality of non-continuous adjustable ratios, the first transformation ratio N1 may be a ratio smaller than the target transformation ratio Na and the first variable ratio N1 among the multiple adjustable ratios in the LLC resonance transformation unit The difference of the minimum transformation ratio of the voltage regulating circuit 402 and the adjustable transformation ratio closest to the target transformation ratio Na.
以LLC谐振转换单元402的多个可调变比的取值为连续的整数为例(如可调变比为4、3、2、1),控制器可403以采用如图7所示的方法,调节第一变比N1和第二变比N2。如图7所示,主要包括以下步骤:Taking the value of the variable ratios of the LLC resonant conversion unit 402 as continuous integers as an example (for example, the variable ratios are 4, 3, 2, and 1), the controller 403 can use the variable ratio shown in FIG. 7 . method, adjust the first transformation ratio N1 and the second transformation ratio N2. As shown in Figure 7, it mainly includes the following steps:
S701:检测当前的总输入电压Vi和目标输出电压Va。S701: Detect the current total input voltage Vi and the target output voltage Va.
S702:控制器计算目标变比Na。其中,目标变比Na为总输入电压Vi与目标输出电压Va之间的比值,即Na=Vi/Va。S702: The controller calculates the target transformation ratio Na. The target transformation ratio Na is the ratio between the total input voltage Vi and the target output voltage Va, that is, Na=Vi/Va.
S703:检测第一调压电路是否为具有升压功能,若是执行704,否则执行705。S703 : Detect whether the first voltage regulating circuit has a boosting function, if yes, go to 704 , otherwise go to 705 .
S704:若第一调压电路具有升压功能,则电压转换档位的取值范围为小于或等于目标变比Na。其中,每一个电压转换档位对应一个第一电压变比N1。S704: If the first voltage regulating circuit has a boosting function, the value range of the voltage conversion gear is less than or equal to the target transformation ratio Na. Wherein, each voltage conversion gear corresponds to a first voltage transformation ratio N1.
若第一调压电路具有升压功能,在理想情况下第一调压电路的第二变比N2可以接近与0,此时。此时,Vi2<Va,第一变比N1=(Vi-Vi2)/Va≈Na。也就是说,在理想情况下,第二变比N2≈0。因此,第一变比N1的取值范围为N1<Na、且N1小于或者LLC谐振转换单元的最大电压转换档位。If the first voltage regulating circuit has a boosting function, in an ideal situation, the second transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulating circuit can be close to 0, at this time. At this time, Vi2<Va, the first transformation ratio N1=(Vi−Vi2)/Va≈Na. That is to say, in an ideal situation, the second transformation ratio N2≈0. Therefore, the value range of the first transformation ratio N1 is N1<Na, and N1 is smaller than or the maximum voltage conversion gear of the LLC resonance conversion unit.
S705:若第一调压电路具有降压功能,则电压转换档位的取值范围为小于目标变比Na-1。S705: If the first voltage regulating circuit has a step-down function, the value range of the voltage conversion gear is smaller than the target transformation ratio Na-1.
若第一调压电路具有降压功能,在理想情况下第一调压电路的第二变比N2可以达到1。此时,Vi2=Va,第一变比N1=(Vi-Vi2)/Va=Na-1。也就是说,在理想情况下,第一变比N1=Na-1。因此,第一变比N1的取值范围为N1≦Na-1、且小于或等于LLC谐振转换单元的最大电压转换档位。If the first voltage regulating circuit has a step-down function, the second transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulating circuit can reach 1 under ideal conditions. At this time, Vi2=Va, and the first transformation ratio N1=(Vi-Vi2)/Va=Na-1. That is to say, in an ideal situation, the first transformation ratio N1=Na-1. Therefore, the value range of the first transformation ratio N1 is N1≦Na−1, and is less than or equal to the maximum voltage conversion gear of the LLC resonant conversion unit.
S706:将LLC谐振转换单元的电压转换档位的取值范围内最大的电压转换档位确定为第一变比。S706: Determine the largest voltage conversion gear within the value range of the voltage conversion gears of the LLC resonance conversion unit as the first transformation ratio.
例如,假设LLC谐振转换单元具有3、2、1三个电压转换档位。如图8所示,总输入电压Vi为3.4V,目标输出电压Va为1V。此时,目标变比Na为3.4,若第一调压电路402具有降压功能,则N1≦Na-1=2.4,因此LLC谐振转换单元401的电压转换档位可为1或2,N1max=2,因此控制器403可以将第一变比N1设置为2。若第一调压电路具有升压功能,则N1<Na≈3.4,因此LLC谐振转换单元的电压转换档位可为1、2或3,N1max=3,因此控制器可以将第一变比N1设置为3。For example, it is assumed that the LLC resonant conversion unit has three voltage conversion gears of 3, 2, and 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the total input voltage Vi is 3.4V, and the target output voltage Va is 1V. At this time, the target transformation ratio Na is 3.4. If the first voltage regulating circuit 402 has a step-down function, then N1≦Na−1=2.4, so the voltage conversion gear of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 can be 1 or 2, and N1max= 2, so the controller 403 can set the first transformation ratio N1 to 2. If the first voltage regulating circuit has a boost function, N1<Na≈3.4, so the voltage conversion gear of the LLC resonant conversion unit can be 1, 2 or 3, and N1max=3, so the controller can change the first transformation ratio N1 Set to 3.
S707:计算所述LLC谐振转换单元处于所述第一变比时所述LLC谐振转换单元的目标输入电压。S707: Calculate the target input voltage of the LLC resonance conversion unit when the LLC resonance conversion unit is in the first transformation ratio.
S708:计算直流转换器输入电压与目标输入电压的第一电压差。S708: Calculate a first voltage difference between the input voltage of the DC converter and the target input voltage.
S709:将所述第一电压差与所述直流转换器的输出电压之间的变比确定为所述第二变比。S709: Determine a transformation ratio between the first voltage difference and the output voltage of the DC converter as the second transformation ratio.
如前所述,如输入电压如图8所示,控制器可以将第一变比N1设置为3,进而使得输入电压Vi1为3V,输入电压Vi2=Vi-Vi1=0.4V,则第二变比N2=Vi2/Vo=0.4/1=0.4。As mentioned above, as the input voltage is shown in FIG. 8 , the controller can set the first transformation ratio N1 to 3, so that the input voltage Vi1 is 3V, and the input voltage Vi2=Vi-Vi1=0.4V, then the second transformation ratio N1 is set to 3. The ratio N2=Vi2/Vo=0.4/1=0.4.
由上述实施例可见,基于本申请实施例所提供的直流转换器400,控制器403可以根据直流转换器的总输入电压Vi和目标输出电压Va,灵活调节LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路的变比,使得在不同的总输入电压Vi和目标输出电压Va的应用场景下,LLC谐振转换单元401皆可以在适配应用场景的同时尽可能接收到较大的输入电压Vi1。结合上述公式四可见,在LLC谐振转换单元的效率a%、第一调压电路的效率b%和输出电压Vo固定的情况下,当LLC谐振转换单元的输入电压Vi1=N1*Vo增大时,直流转换器的效率也会随之增大。因此,采用本申请实施例图6和图8所示的设置第一变比N1和第二变比N2的方法,有利于进一步提高直流转换器400的效率。It can be seen from the above embodiments that, based on the DC converter 400 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the controller 403 can flexibly adjust the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulation according to the total input voltage Vi and the target output voltage Va of the DC converter The transformation ratio of the circuit enables the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 to receive a larger input voltage Vi1 as much as possible while adapting to the application scenarios under different application scenarios of the total input voltage Vi and the target output voltage Va. Combining the above formula 4, it can be seen that under the condition that the efficiency a% of the LLC resonant conversion unit, the efficiency b% of the first voltage regulating circuit and the output voltage Vo are fixed, when the input voltage Vi1=N1*Vo of the LLC resonant conversion unit increases , the efficiency of the DC converter will also increase. Therefore, using the method for setting the first transformation ratio N1 and the second transformation ratio N2 shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 in the embodiment of the present application is beneficial to further improve the efficiency of the DC converter 400 .
在一种可实现的方式中,在采用本申请实施例提供的直流转换器为负载供电过程中,若因为输入侧接收的电压或者输出侧负载发生变化造成的输出电压Vo偏离目标输出电压Va时,可以采用图6和图8所示的设置第一变比N1和第二变比N2的方法,重新配置LLC谐振转换单元401和第一调压电路的变比。In an achievable manner, in the process of using the DC converter provided by the embodiment of the present application to supply power to the load, if the output voltage Vo deviates from the target output voltage Va due to the voltage received at the input side or the load on the output side changes , the method of setting the first transformation ratio N1 and the second transformation ratio N2 shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 can be used to reconfigure the transformation ratios of the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 and the first voltage regulating circuit.
在另一种可实现的方式中,在采用本申请实施例提供的直流转换器为负载供电过程中,若因为输入侧接收的电压或者输出侧负载发生变化造成的输出电压Vo偏离目标输出电压Va时,可以通过调节第一调压电路402的变比,实现输出电压Vo与目标输出电压Va。In another achievable manner, in the process of using the DC converter provided by the embodiment of the present application to supply power to the load, if the output voltage Vo deviates from the target output voltage Va due to the voltage received at the input side or the load on the output side changing , the output voltage Vo and the target output voltage Va can be achieved by adjusting the transformation ratio of the first voltage regulating circuit 402 .
在一示例中,在采用本申请实施例提供的直流转换器为负载供电时,若直流转换器输出端为13和14连接的负载增大,导致直流转换器的输出电压Vo小于目标输出电压Va时,可以调整第一调压电路402中开关管的占空比,实现调整第一调压电压402的变比N2,从而实现调整输出电压Vo,直至输出电压Vo等于目标输出电压Va。In an example, when the DC converter provided by the embodiment of the present application is used to supply power to the load, if the load connected to the output terminals 13 and 14 of the DC converter increases, the output voltage Vo of the DC converter is smaller than the target output voltage Va. When , the duty ratio of the switch tube in the first voltage regulation circuit 402 can be adjusted to adjust the transformation ratio N2 of the first voltage regulation voltage 402 , so as to adjust the output voltage Vo until the output voltage Vo is equal to the target output voltage Va.
在一示例中,在采用本申请实施例提供的直流转换器为负载供电时,若直流转换器输入侧连接的是蓄电池,则为负载供电过程中,蓄电池的电压逐渐降低,导致直流转换器的变比输出的电压Vo偏离目标输出电压Va,可以调整第一调压电路402中开关管的占空比,实现调整第一调压电压402的变比N2,从而实现调整输出电压Vo,直至输出电压Vo等于目标输出电压Va。In an example, when the DC converter provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to supply power to the load, if a battery is connected to the input side of the DC converter, the voltage of the battery is gradually reduced during the process of supplying power to the load, resulting in the voltage of the DC converter.

It should be noted that, in the DC converter provided in this application, the LLC resonant conversion unit has multiple voltage conversion gears, which means that there are multiple voltages between the input voltage of the LLC resonant conversion unit and the output voltage of the LLC resonant conversion unit. The ratio relationship, for example, the plurality of ratio relationships are 1:1, 1.2:1, 1.5:1, and 2:1.

当图9所示的LLC谐振转换单元401采用表一所示的驱动信号驱动开关管S1、S2、S3和S4的状态时,LLC谐振转换单元至少具有4和2两种可调变比。需要指出的是,可调变比是LLC谐振转换单元401理论上可以达到的变比,受限于寄生电阻、寄生电感等原因,LLC谐振转换单元401的实际变比与可调变比之间可能会有些许偏差,但并不影响本申请技术方案的实现。When the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 shown in FIG. 9 uses the driving signals shown in Table 1 to drive the states of the switches S1 , S2 , S3 and S4 , the LLC resonant conversion unit has at least two adjustable ratios of 4 and 2. It should be pointed out that the adjustable transformation ratio is the transformation ratio that the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 can theoretically achieve. Due to the parasitic resistance, parasitic inductance and other reasons, the difference between the actual transformation ratio of the LLC resonant transformation unit 401 and the adjustable transformation ratio is There may be some deviations, but it does not affect the realization of the technical solution of the present application.
下面结合实例对LLC谐振转换单元401的两个电压转换档位下的变比的过程进行详细说明。The following describes in detail the process of the transformation ratio under the two voltage conversion gears of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401 with reference to an example.
第一种实现方式:第一变比N1为4。The first implementation method: the first transformation ratio N1 is 4.
假设LLC谐振转换单元401中的各个开关管皆为高电压导通,低电压断开。在控制器403为LLC谐振转换单元401中的各个开关管提供如图10所示的驱动信号时,第一变比N1为4。其中,控制器按照状态②①③①的顺序发送驱动信号,来控制开关管进行状态切换。It is assumed that each switch in the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 is turned on at high voltage and turned off at low voltage. When the controller 403 provides the drive signals as shown in FIG. 10 for each switch tube in the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 , the first transformation ratio N1 is 4. Among them, the controller sends drive signals in the order of states ②①③① to control the switch tube to switch states.
如图10所示,交流电的周期为T,开关管S1、S2、S3和S4分别对应不同的驱动信号。As shown in FIG. 10 , the cycle of the alternating current is T, and the switches S1 , S2 , S3 and S4 correspond to different driving signals respectively.
在0至T/2的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图11所示。其中,开关管S1和开关管S3导通,开关管S2和S4断开。In the time period from 0 to T/2, the state of each switch tube can be as shown in FIG. 11 . The switch S1 and the switch S3 are turned on, and the switches S2 and S4 are turned off.
在此情况下,开关管S1、电容C1、开关管S3、Cr、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图12所示。此时,V
h为1/2Vi1。
In this case, the switch tube S1, the capacitor C1, the switch tube S3, Cr, Lr and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be shown in FIG. 12 . At this time, V h is 1/2Vi1.
在T/2至T的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图13所示。其中,开关管S3和S4导通,开关管S1和S2断开。In the time period from T/2 to T, the states of each switch tube may be as shown in FIG. 13 . Among them, the switch tubes S3 and S4 are turned on, and the switch tubes S1 and S2 are turned off.
在此情况下,开关管S3、开关管S4、Cr、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图14所示。由于第一电容呈现断路、且第一H桥电路输出端与输入端12之间直接连接,Vh=0。In this case, the switch tube S3, the switch tube S4, Cr, Lr and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be shown in FIG. 14 . Since the first capacitor is disconnected and the output terminal of the first H-bridge circuit is directly connected to the input terminal 12 , Vh=0.
在T至T3/2的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图15所示。其中,开关管S2和S4导通,开关管S1和S3断开。In the time period from T to T3/2, the states of each switch tube may be as shown in FIG. 15 . Among them, the switch tubes S2 and S4 are turned on, and the switch tubes S1 and S3 are turned off.
在此情况下,开关管S4、Cr、开关管S2、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图16所示,此时电容C1放电,由于在0至T/2的时间段内,C1两端已经充电至1/2Vi1,因此,V
h为1/2Vi1,这里不做重复介绍。
In this case, the switches S4, Cr, S2, Lr, and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be shown in Figure 16. At this time, the capacitor C1 discharges, because in the time period from 0 to T/2, C1 Both ends have been charged to 1/2Vi1, therefore, V h is 1/2Vi1, which will not be repeated here.
在3/2T至2T的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图13所示。其中,开关管S1和S2导通,开关管S3和S4断开。In the time period from 3/2T to 2T, the state of each switch tube may be as shown in FIG. 13 . Among them, the switch tubes S1 and S2 are turned on, and the switch tubes S3 and S4 are turned off.
在此情况下,开关管S3、开关管S4、Cr、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图14所示。由于第一H桥电路输出端与输入端12之间直接连接,因此,Vh为0。In this case, the switch tube S3, the switch tube S4, Cr, Lr and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be shown in FIG. 14 . Since the output terminal of the first H-bridge circuit is directly connected to the input terminal 12 , Vh is zero.
需要指出的是,开关管在使用上述图10所示的驱动信号驱动开关管S1、S2、S3和S4时,交流电的两个周期内逆变电路的输出电压均在0至1/2Vi1之间转换,则逆变电路输出电压的峰峰值为Vi1/2,带入公式五和公式六,得到此时LLC谐振转换单元401的变比N1为4。It should be pointed out that when the switching transistors use the driving signal shown in FIG. 10 to drive the switching transistors S1, S2, S3 and S4, the output voltage of the inverter circuit in two cycles of the alternating current is between 0 and 1/2Vi1 After conversion, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage of the inverter circuit is Vi1/2, and into formula 5 and formula 6, it is obtained that the transformation ratio N1 of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401 is 4 at this time.
需要说明的是,此时开关管按照②①③①的顺序进行一次切换,在开关管的每一个切换周期内,输出两个周期的交流电,即开关管的开关周期为谐振电路的谐振周期的两倍。It should be noted that, at this time, the switch is switched in the order of ②①③①. In each switching period of the switch, two cycles of alternating current are output, that is, the switching period of the switch is twice the resonant period of the resonant circuit.
第二种实现方式:第一变比N1为2。The second implementation mode: the first transformation ratio N1 is 2.
假设LLC谐振转换单元中的各个开关管皆为高电压导通,低电压断开。在控制器403为LLC谐振转换单元401中的各个开关管提供如图17所示的驱动信号时,第一变比N1为2。其中,控制器按照状态④①的顺序发送驱动信号,从而控制开关管进行状态切换。It is assumed that each switch in the LLC resonant conversion unit is turned on at high voltage and turned off at low voltage. When the controller 403 provides the drive signals as shown in FIG. 17 for each switch tube in the LLC resonant conversion unit 401 , the first transformation ratio N1 is 2. Among them, the controller sends drive signals in the order of states ④①, thereby controlling the switch tube to switch states.
在0至T/2的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图18所示。其中,开关管S1和开关管S2导通,开关管S3和S4断开。In the time period from 0 to T/2, the state of each switch tube can be as shown in FIG. 18 . The switch S1 and the switch S2 are turned on, and the switches S3 and S4 are turned off.
在此情况下,开关管S1、开关管S2、Cr、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图19所示,由于C1并不进行充电,且第一H桥电路跨接在输入端11和12之间,因此,Vh=Vi1。In this case, the switch S1, the switch S2, Cr, Lr and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be shown in Figure 19. Since C1 does not charge, and the first H-bridge circuit is connected across the input terminal 11 and 12, therefore, Vh=Vi1.
在T/2至T的时间段内,各个开关管的状态可以如图13所示。其中,开关管S3和S4导通,开关管S1和S2断开。In the time period from T/2 to T, the states of each switch tube may be as shown in FIG. 13 . Among them, the switch tubes S3 and S4 are turned on, and the switch tubes S1 and S2 are turned off.
此情况下,开关管S3、开关管S4、Cr、Lr和Lm构成通路,等效电路可以如图14所示。由于第一电容呈现断路、且第一H桥电路输出端与输入端12之间直接连接,Vh=0。In this case, the switch tube S3, the switch tube S4, Cr, Lr, and Lm form a path, and the equivalent circuit can be as shown in FIG. 14 . Since the first capacitor is disconnected and the output terminal of the first H-bridge circuit is directly connected to the input terminal 12 , Vh=0.
需要指出的是,开关管在使用上述图17所示的驱动信号驱动开关管S1、S2、S3和S4时,在交流电的整个周期内,逆变电路的输出电压均在0至Vi1之间转换,则逆变电路输出电压的峰峰值为Vi1,带入公式五和公式六,得到此时LLC谐振转换单元401的变比为2。It should be pointed out that when the switching transistors use the driving signal shown in FIG. 17 to drive the switching transistors S1, S2, S3 and S4, the output voltage of the inverter circuit is converted between 0 and Vi1 during the entire cycle of the alternating current. , then the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage of the inverter circuit is Vi1, and into formula 5 and formula 6, it is obtained that the transformation ratio of the LLC resonance conversion unit 401 is 2 at this time.
需要说明的是,此时开关管按照④①的顺序进行一次切换,在开关管的每一个切换周期内,输出一个周期的交流电,即开关管的开关周期与谐振电路的谐振周期相同。It should be noted that at this time, the switch tube is switched in the order of ④①, and in each switching cycle of the switch tube, one cycle of alternating current is output, that is, the switching cycle of the switch tube is the same as the resonant cycle of the resonant circuit.
实际使用时,也可以采用表一中的其他驱动信号的状态进行组合,得到LLC谐振转换单元的其它可调变比,本申请这里一一详细介绍。需要说明的是,在采用其他驱动信号的状态进行组合时,每一个组合中第一电容C1的充放电次数相同。In actual use, the states of other driving signals in Table 1 can also be combined to obtain other adjustable ratios of the LLC resonant conversion unit, which are described in detail here in this application. It should be noted that, when the states of other driving signals are used for combination, the number of times of charging and discharging of the first capacitor C1 in each combination is the same.
需要说明的是,根据负载的类型,整流电路除上述第二H桥电路的结构,还可以采用其他电路结构。例如,整流电路采用带中心抽头的半桥整流电路为负载供电,此时直流转换电路可以采用图20所示的电路结构。It should be noted that, according to the type of the load, in addition to the structure of the second H-bridge circuit described above, the rectifier circuit may also adopt other circuit structures. For example, the rectifier circuit uses a half-bridge rectifier circuit with a center tap to supply power to the load, and the DC conversion circuit can use the circuit structure shown in FIG. 20 at this time.
在一示例中,参见图21所示,为了解决器件成本以及体积,可以使用二极管替换上述第二H桥电路中开关管。In an example, as shown in FIG. 21 , in order to solve the cost and volume of the device, a diode can be used to replace the switch in the second H-bridge circuit.
在一示例中,参见图22所示,谐振电路中谐振电容可以拆分为两个谐振电容C2和C3,用于与谐振电感Lr实现谐振。其中,C1和C2的容值之和为Cr的容值。In an example, as shown in FIG. 22 , the resonant capacitor in the resonant circuit can be split into two resonant capacitors C2 and C3 to achieve resonance with the resonant inductor Lr. Among them, the sum of the capacitances of C1 and C2 is the capacitance of Cr.
