Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the related art, the discharge efficiency of passive discharge can be improved by increasing the resistance value of the discharge resistor. However, when the resistance value of the bleeder resistor is increased, both the volume and the weight of the bleeder resistor are increased, resulting in a possibility that the power supply circuit needs to be redesigned.
In addition, the electric charge in the filter capacitor can be discharged in an active discharging mode, but the active discharging mode is limited by the working condition of the vehicle, for example, when the vehicle is in a high-speed driving state, the electric charge in the filter capacitor cannot be discharged in the discharging mode.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a dc converter for a vehicle, which may be used to bleed off charge in a filter capacitor of the vehicle. When the direct current converter is adopted to discharge the charges in the filter capacitor, the problem that the discharge efficiency is low when the charges in the filter capacitor are discharged in a passive discharge mode in the related technology can be solved, and the problem that the discharge is limited when an active discharge mode is adopted. The DC converter may also be referred to as a direct current-to-direct current (DC-DC) converter. Alternatively, the vehicle may be an electric vehicle, for example a purely electric vehicle.
Referring to fig. 1, the dc converter may include:inverter circuit 01,transformer 02, rectifier circuit 03,boost circuit 04, and switch K1. One end of theinverter circuit 01 is connected to an input end (i.e., a primary side) of thetransformer 02, and the other end of theinverter circuit 01 may be used to connect to a filter capacitor of a vehicle. The filter capacitor stores a large amount of charges, so the filter capacitor can be referred to as a high-voltage capacitor.
The output end (i.e., the secondary side) of thetransformer 02 is connected to one end of the rectifier circuit 03, and the other end of the rectifier circuit 03 may be connected to thebooster circuit 04. The switch K1 is located on a connection path between the rectifier circuit 03 and thebooster circuit 04, and controls the connection path to be turned on or off. The other end of the rectifier circuit 03 may also be connected to a load (not shown) of the vehicle.
When the connection path is on, the rectifier circuit 03 can be connected to the load of the vehicle via thebooster circuit 04, and when the connection path is off, the rectifier circuit 03 can be directly connected to the load of the vehicle. Alternatively, the rectifier circuit 03 may be a bridge rectifier circuit.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the charge stored in the filter capacitor of the vehicle needs to be discharged, the direct current converter can be directly adopted for discharging. When the discharging is started, the switch K1 may be in an off state, the rectifying circuit 03 may be directly connected to the load of the vehicle, and at this time, the charge in the filter capacitor enters the load after passing through theinverter circuit 01, theinverter 02, and the rectifying circuit 03 in sequence. After the discharging for a period of time, when the output current of the rectifying circuit 03 is smaller than the current threshold (i.e. the output voltage of the dc converter is lower than the voltage threshold), the dc converter cannot transfer the charge in the filter capacitor to the load of the vehicle, that is, the charge in the filter capacitor cannot be discharged to the load. At this time, the switch K1 may be closed, and the rectifier circuit 03 may be connected to the load of the vehicle through thebooster circuit 04. Theboost circuit 04 can boost the output voltage of the rectification circuit 03, so that the output voltage of the dc converter is not less than the voltage threshold, and the dc converter can continue to discharge the charge in the filter capacitor until the voltage of the filter capacitor is reduced to below the human body safety voltage.
The current threshold may be 0.1 ampere (a), and the voltage threshold may be determined according to a rated voltage of the load, and may be greater than or equal to the rated voltage, for example.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a dc converter for a vehicle, which can discharge charges stored in a filter capacitor. In the process of discharging the charges, when the output current of the rectifying circuit in the direct current converter is not less than the current threshold, the switch in the direct current converter can control the connection path between the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit to be disconnected, and the charges in the filter capacitor can directly enter the load through the rectifying circuit. The charge bleed-off efficiency is high due to the high power demand of the load. When the output current of the rectifying circuit is smaller than the current threshold value, the switch can control the connection path of the rectifying circuit and the boosting circuit to be conducted, at the moment, the output voltage of the rectifying circuit can be boosted through the boosting circuit, so that the charge in the filter capacitor is continuously discharged, and the charge discharging effect is further ensured.
In the embodiment of the present invention, theinverter circuit 01 in the dc converter can convert the dc power provided by the filter capacitor into ac power through a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique, and then transmit the ac power to thetransformer 02. Thetransformer 02 changes the voltage of the alternating current and transmits the alternating current with the changed voltage to the rectifying circuit 03. The rectifier circuit 03 can convert alternating current to direct current to power a load.
As an alternative implementation, the switch K1 may be a single pole double throw switch, as shown in fig. 1. The first terminal a of the switch K1 is connected to the rectifying circuit 03, the second terminal b of the switch K1 is connected to theboost circuit 04, and the third terminal c of the switch K1 can be used for connecting to the load.
In the process of discharging the charge in the filter capacitor of the vehicle by using the dc converter provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the first end a of the switch K1 may be first connected to the third end c, and at this time, the rectifier circuit 03 may be directly connected to the load of the vehicle. When the output current of the rectifier circuit 03 is smaller than the current threshold value, the first terminal a and the second terminal b of the switch K1 are connected, and the rectifier circuit 03 is connected to theload 10 through thebooster circuit 04.
In the discharging process, the discharging of the charges in the filter capacitor can be completed only through one rectifying circuit 03 by controlling the state of the switch K1, so that the cost of the direct current converter is effectively reduced.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, the positive electrode of the other end of the rectifying circuit 03 is connected to the first end a of the switch K1, the second end b of the switch K1 is connected to the positive electrode of one end of thevoltage boost circuit 04, the third end c of the switch K1 is directly connected to the positive output terminal of the dc converter, and the negative electrode of the other end of the rectifying circuit 03 and the negative electrode of one end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 are both directly connected to the negative output terminal of the dc converter.
Or, the positive electrode of the other end of the rectifying circuit 03 and the positive electrode of one end of the boostingcircuit 04 are both directly connected to the positive output end of the dc converter, the negative electrode of the other end of the rectifying circuit 03 is connected to the first end a of the switch K1, the negative electrode of one end of the boostingcircuit 04 is connected to the second end b of the switch K1, and the third end c of the switch K1 is directly connected to the negative output end of the dc converter.
As can be seen from fig. 1, the positive electrode of the other end of the boostingcircuit 04 is connected to the positive output terminal of the dc converter, and the negative electrode of the other end of the boostingcircuit 04 is connected to the negative output terminal of the dc converter.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another dc converter according to an embodiment of the present invention. As another alternative implementation, the switch K1 may be a single pole, single throw switch, as shown in fig. 2. For example, a solenoid valve. Thetransformer 02 may comprise two outputs (i.e. two secondary sides), and the rectifying circuit 03 comprises afirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and asecond rectifying sub-circuit 032.
One end of the firstsub-rectifying circuit 031 is connected to one output end of thetransformer 02, and the other end of the firstsub-rectifying circuit 031 is connected to the switch K1. One end of the secondsub-rectifying circuit 032 is connected to the other output end of thetransformer 02, and the other end of the secondsub-rectifying circuit 032 is used to connect to theload 10.
In this implementation, in the process of discharging the charge in the filter capacitor by using the dc converter, when the discharge starts, the switch K1 keeps the off state, the connection path between thefirst rectifier sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boost circuit 04 is disconnected, and both thefirst rectifier sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boost circuit 04 are in the non-operating state. Thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032 is in working state, and the charge in the filter capacitor can enter theload 10 through thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032.
After a period of time, when the output current of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032 is smaller than the current threshold, the switch K1 is closed, and the connection path between thefirst rectifier sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boost circuit 04 is conducted. At this time, thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032 is in a non-operating state, thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boost circuit 04 are both in an operating state, and the charges in the filter capacitor can sequentially enter theload 10 through thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boost circuit 04.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage output by the rectifier circuit 03 is a unidirectional pulsating dc voltage (also referred to as a unidirectional pulsating voltage). The magnitude of the unidirectional pulsating voltage may vary and may not be directly used to power theload 10 of the vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to filter the unidirectional pulsating voltage output from the rectifying circuit 03 to reduce the variation amplitude of the voltage, so that the voltage output from the rectifying circuit 03 can supply power to theload 10. Referring to fig. 3, the dc converter may further include: thefirst filter circuit 05. One end of thefirst filter circuit 05 is connected to theboost circuit 04 and the rectifier circuit 03, respectively, and the other end of thefirst filter circuit 05 is used for connecting to theload 10.
Alternatively, as can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, theload 10 of the vehicle may include a low-voltage apparatus 10a and a battery 10 b. Wherein, this low-voltage apparatus can include: horns, instrument panels, lamps, etc. of vehicles. The battery may be a 12V to 15V (volt) lead battery, for example, a 12V lead battery.
In addition, referring to fig. 3, when the rectifying circuit 03 includes afirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and asecond rectifying sub-circuit 032, the other end of thevoltage boosting circuit 04 may be connected to the other end of thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032. Accordingly, one end of thefirst filter circuit 05 can be connected to the other end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 and the other end of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032, respectively.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the positive electrode of one end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 is connected to the positive electrode of thefirst rectifier sub-circuit 031 through the switch K1, and the negative electrode of one end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 is directly connected to the negative electrode of thefirst rectifier sub-circuit 031. The positive electrode of the other end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 and the positive electrode of the other end of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032 are both connected to the positive output end of the dc converter. The negative electrode of the other end of thevoltage boost circuit 04 and the negative electrode of the other end of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032 are both connected to the negative output end of the dc converter.
Because the output voltages of thesecond rectifying circuit 032 and the boostingcircuit 04 can be transmitted to theload 10 through thefirst filter circuit 05, that is, only onefirst filter circuit 05 needs to be arranged, the filtering of the output voltages of thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032 and the boostingcircuit 04 can be completed, so that the complexity of the circuit in the dc converter is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the dc converter can be reduced.
As can also be seen from fig. 3, the dc converter may further include: asecond filter circuit 06. One end of thesecond filter circuit 06 is connected to the other end of theinverter circuit 01, and the other end of thesecond filter circuit 06 is used for being connected to a filter capacitor of a vehicle. Thesecond filter circuit 06 may filter the dc voltage provided by the filter capacitor.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another dc converter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the dc converter further includes: a sampling circuit 07, and acontrol circuit 08 connected to the sampling circuit 07. The sampling circuit 07 is also connected to the rectifying circuit 03, and the sampling circuit 07 is configured to collect an output current of the rectifying circuit 03 and transmit the output current to thecontrol circuit 08. Thecontrol circuit 08 is further connected to the switch K1, and thecontrol circuit 08 is configured to control an operating state of the switch K1 according to the output current.
In the embodiment of the present invention, if the rectifying circuit 03 includes thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032, as shown in fig. 3, the sampling circuit 07 collects the output current of thesecond rectifying sub-circuit 032 when the switch K1 is kept in the off state. Thecontrol circuit 08 can control the operation state of the switch K1 according to the output current of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032.
Optionally, the sampling circuit 07 may further collect an output voltage of the rectifying circuit 03, and send the output voltage to thecontrol circuit 08. Thecontrol circuit 08 may also be connected to theinverter circuit 01, and may control the magnitude of the output voltage of theinverter circuit 01 according to the received output voltage, so as to achieve stable output at the output terminal of the dc converter.
In addition, when the dc converter provided in the embodiment of the present invention is used to perform charge discharging, when the dc converter starts to discharge, the sampling circuit 07 may collect the output voltage of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032, and control the magnitude of the output voltage of theinverter circuit 01 according to the output voltage of thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032. After a period of time of bleeding, when the switch K1 is closed, the sampling circuit 07 may collect the output voltage of thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031, and accordingly, thecontrol circuit 08 may control the magnitude of the output voltage of theinverter circuit 01 according to the output voltage of thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2 and 3, theboost circuit 04 may include: inductor L1, transistor Q, diode D1, and drive sub-circuit 041.
One end of the inductor L1 is connected to the switch K1, the other end of the inductor L1 is connected to the first pole of the transistor Q and one end of the diode D1, respectively, and the other end of the diode D1 is used for being connected to one pole of theload 10. The second pole of the transistor Q can be used to connect to the other pole of theload 10, and the gate of the transistor Q is connected to the drivingsub-circuit 041, which is used to control the conducting state of the transistor Q.
The first pole of the transistor Q may be one of a source and a drain, and the second pole may be the other of the source and the drain. One end of the diode D1 may be the anode of the diode D1, and the other end of the diode D1 may be the cathode of the diode D1. Accordingly, one electrode of theload 10 is a positive electrode, and the other electrode is a negative electrode.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the other end of the diode D1 may be connected to the positive electrode of one end of thefirst filter circuit 05, and the positive electrode of the other end of thefirst filter circuit 05 is used for connecting to the positive electrode of theload 10. The second pole of the transistor Q may be connected to the cathode of one end of thefirst filter circuit 05, and the cathode of the other end of thefirst filter circuit 05 is used to connect to the other pole of theload 10.
In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, thefirst filter circuit 05 may include an inductor L2 and a capacitor C1, one end of the inductor L2 is connected to the other pole of the diode D1 in thevoltage boost circuit 04, and the other end of the inductor L2 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1 and the positive pole of one end of the sampling circuit 07, respectively. The other end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the negative electrode of one end of the sampling circuit 07.
Thesecond filter circuit 06 may include an inductor L3 and a capacitor C2, one end of the inductor L3 is connected to the anode of the other end of theinverter circuit 01 and one end of the capacitor C2, respectively, and the other end of the inductor L3 is used to be connected to the anode of the filter capacitor. The other end of the capacitor C2 is connected to the negative electrode of the other end of theinverter circuit 01 and the negative electrode of the filter capacitor of the vehicle, respectively.
It should be noted that, when the dc converter provided in the embodiment of the present invention is in the non-bleeder operating state, the connection path between the rectifier circuit 03 and theboost circuit 04 in the dc converter may be kept disconnected, that is, the connection path between the rectifier circuit 03 and theboost circuit 04 is disconnected. The dc voltage provided by the power battery of the vehicle is converted into an ac voltage through theinverter circuit 01, and the ac voltage can be output from the output terminal of thetransformer 02 and then converted into a dc voltage through the rectifier circuit 03 to supply power to theload 10.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a dc converter for a vehicle, which can discharge charges stored in a filter capacitor. In the process of discharging the charges, when the output current of the rectifying circuit is not less than the current threshold, a switch in the direct current converter can control a connecting passage between the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit to be disconnected, and the charges in the filter capacitor can directly enter a load through the rectifying circuit. Because the load connected with the direct current converter needs higher power, the discharge time when the direct current converter is adopted to discharge the charges in the filter capacitor is shorter. When the output current of the rectifying circuit is smaller than the current threshold value, the switch can control the connection path of the rectifying circuit and the boosting circuit to be conducted, at the moment, the output voltage of the rectifying circuit can be boosted through the boosting circuit, so that the charge in the filter capacitor is continuously discharged, and the discharge efficiency of the charge is further ensured. In addition, when the direct current converter provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted to discharge the charges in the filter capacitor, the limitation of the working condition of the vehicle is avoided.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a charge bleeding control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The bleeding control method may be applied to the dc converter provided in the above embodiments, for example, may be applied to the dc converter shown in any one of fig. 1 to 4. Referring to fig. 5, the method may include:
step 101, detecting an output current of a rectifying circuit.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dc converter may be connected to a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) of a vehicle. The VCU can detect whether the charge in a filter capacitor of a vehicle needs to be discharged or not, and can send a discharge triggering instruction to the direct current converter when the discharge is needed. After receiving the discharge trigger instruction, the DC converter can enter a discharge working state and detect the output current of the rectifying circuit.
Optionally, the dc converter may include a sampling circuit connected to the rectifying circuit, and a control circuit connected to the sampling circuit. The control circuit in the dc converter can receive a bleeding trigger instruction sent by the VCU, and can control the sampling circuit to collect the output current of the rectifying circuit and detect the magnitude of the output current after receiving the bleeding trigger instruction.
For example, the filter capacitor of the vehicle may be connected to a power battery of the vehicle via a first relay and a second relay. The VCU can be connected with the first relay and the second relay, and can detect the working states of the two relays. When the VCU detects that the first relay and the second relay are both off, a bleeding trigger command may be generated, and the bleeding trigger command may be sent to the dc converter through a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
And 102, when the output current is larger than the current threshold, controlling the connection between the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit to be disconnected.
The current threshold may be a fixed value pre-stored by a control circuit in the dc converter, or may be sent to the control circuit of the dc converter by the VCU. The control circuit can also be connected with a switch in the direct current converter, and when the control circuit detects that the output current is greater than a current threshold value, the control circuit can control the state of the switch, so that a connecting path of the rectifying circuit and the boosting circuit is kept disconnected, and the rectifying circuit can be directly connected with a load of a vehicle.
In an alternative implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the switch K1 may be a single pole double throw switch. A first terminal a of the switch K1 may be connected to the rectifying circuit 03, a second terminal b of the switch K1 may be connected to theboost circuit 04 in the dc converter, and a third terminal c of the switch may be used for connection to the load. In this implementation manner, when the control circuit detects that the output current of the rectifying circuit is greater than the current threshold, the control circuit may control the first end a and the third end c of the switch to be connected, so that the connection path between the rectifying circuit 03 and theboost circuit 04 is disconnected, and the charge in the filter capacitor enters the load through the rectifying circuit 03.
In another alternative implementation, as shown in fig. 2-4, the switch K1 may be a single pole, single throw switch. Thetransformer 02 in the dc converter comprises two output terminals, and the rectifying circuit 03 comprises afirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and asecond rectifying sub-circuit 032. One end of the firstsub-rectifying circuit 031 is connected to an output terminal of thetransformer 032, and the other end of the firstsub-rectifying circuit 031 is connected to the switch K1. One end of the secondsub-rectifying circuit 032 is connected to the other output end of thetransformer 02, and the other end of the secondsub-rectifying circuit 032 is used to connect to theload 10. In this implementation, when detecting that the output current of the rectifier circuit 03 is greater than the current threshold, thecontrol circuit 08 may control the switch K1 to be turned off, so that the charge in the filter capacitor enters the load through thesecond rectifier sub-circuit 032.
It should be noted that before the dc converter does not receive the bleeding trigger command sent by the VCU, that is, beforestep 101, the control circuit may control the state of the switch, so that the connection path between the rectifying circuit and the boost circuit is kept disconnected.
And 103, controlling the connection of the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit when the output current is not greater than the current threshold value.
When the control circuit detects that the output current is larger than the current threshold value, the control circuit can control the state of the switch to enable the connection path of the rectifying circuit and the boosting circuit to be conducted, and at the moment, the rectifying circuit can be connected with the load of the vehicle through the boosting circuit.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the output current is not greater than the current threshold value, the output voltage of the dc converter is less than the rated voltage of the load, and the dc converter cannot transfer the charge in the filter capacitor to the load of the vehicle, that is, the charge in the filter capacitor is no longer discharged to the load. At this time, in order to continue discharging the charge in the filter capacitor, the connection path between the rectifier circuit and the booster circuit may be made conductive. The booster circuit can boost the output voltage of the rectifying circuit to be not less than the rated voltage of the load.
In an alternative implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the switch K1 may be a single pole double throw switch. When thecontrol circuit 08 detects that the output current of the rectifying circuit 03 is greater than the current threshold, the first end a and the second end b of the switch K1 may be controlled to be communicated, so that the connection path between the rectifying circuit 03 and the boostingcircuit 04 is conducted. The control circuit may further control the driving sub-circuit in thevoltage boost circuit 04 to provide a driving signal to the transistor to drive the transistor to be turned on, that is, control thevoltage boost circuit 04 to be in an operating state, where the charge in the filter capacitor may enter theload 10 through the rectifying circuit 03 and thevoltage boost circuit 04.
In another alternative implementation, as shown in fig. 2-4, the switch K1 may be a single pole, single throw switch. When thecontrol circuit 08 detects that the output current of the rectifier circuit 03 is greater than the current threshold, the switch K1 may be controlled to be turned on. In addition, thecontrol circuit 08 may further control the driving sub-circuit 041 in thevoltage boosting circuit 04 to provide a driving signal to the transistor Q to drive the transistor Q to conduct, so that thevoltage boosting circuit 04 is in an operating state, and at this time, the charge in the filter capacitor may enter the load through thefirst rectifying sub-circuit 031 and thevoltage boosting circuit 04.
It should be noted that, when the vehicle is powered off (i.e., the vehicle is not in a working state), the dc converter may discharge the charge in the filter capacitor, and in the discharging process, the VCU of the vehicle may also detect the voltage of the filter capacitor of the vehicle in real time, and when it is detected that the voltage of the filter capacitor is smaller than the human body safety voltage, the dc converter may be controlled to be in a non-working state.
For example, the VCU may be connected to a power supply switch of the dc converter, and when the voltage of the filter capacitor is detected to be less than the human body safety voltage, the power supply switch may be controlled to be turned off, so that the dc converter is in a non-operating state (also referred to as a sleep state).
In summary, embodiments of the present invention provide a bleeding control method for a dc converter of a vehicle, which can detect an output current of a rectifying circuit when a charge in a filter capacitor is bled. When the output current is larger than the current threshold value, the connection path between the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit is controlled to be disconnected, so that the charges in the filter capacitor directly enter the load through the rectifying circuit. When the output current is not larger than the current threshold, the connection path between the rectifying circuit and the booster circuit can be controlled to be conducted, so that the charges in the filter capacitor can be continuously discharged.
The embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to execute the bleeding control method of the dc converter of the vehicle as provided in the above method embodiment.
