Wherein, theoretical output voltage is to be the theoretical value of the output voltage of confirmable filter circuit 3 according to component parameter and input electrical signal in filter circuit 3.In normal operation, the output voltage of filter circuit 3 equals its theoretical output voltage, but in the time that 3 moments of filter circuit are accessed pure capacitive load, and output voltage tends to produce and falls, and does not cause described output voltage output voltage theoretical with it not etc.
Adopt after technique scheme, the inverter 1 that the embodiment of the present invention provides, can the sample output voltage of filter circuit 3 of inverter 1, reverse at the output voltage output voltage theoretical with it of filter circuit 3 of determining inverter 1, and when the absolute value of the output voltage of filter circuit 3 is greater than the absolute value of predefined voltage, power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting.Like this; because the variation of the output voltage of filter circuit 3 is ahead of the variation of inductive current; that is to say; if the output voltage of filter circuit 3 experiences larger variation within a period of time; can conclude after during this period of time; inductive current also can experience larger variation, makes its absolute value exceed the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current.
Like this, compare by the sampling of the output voltage to described filter circuit and with predefined voltage, can know in advance whether the absolute value of described inductive current over time can be greater than the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current, and in advance described power conversion circuit is carried out to current limliting, compensate described power conversion circuit has been carried out in current limliting operation because the current limliting that hardware time delay and software delay cause operates the hysteresis coming into force, thereby be greater than the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current at the absolute value of inductive current before, current limliting operation to described power conversion circuit comes into force in time, under the condition of not changing circuit element, effectively improve at lower cost the overcurrent protection to inverter, reduce the risk that inverter damages because of overcurrent.
Concrete, voltage sample unit 41 can have for any circuit structure or chip of voltage sample function, voltage comparison unit 42 is connected with voltage sample unit 41, can there is for voltage comparator or other software or the hardware circuit of voltage comparing function, compare with the 0 voltage plus or minus of the direction of determining described output voltage of the output voltage of the filter circuit 3 that can obtain by being sampled in voltage sample unit 41.Current limliting unit 43, can, for having the controller etc. of certain software filtering function and/or logic analysis function, so that the result that voltage comparison unit 42 is exported is carried out interference filtering and logic analysis, thereby carry out current limliting operation to power conversion circuit 2.

Although it is pointed out that above-described embodiment only described by the sampling of the output voltage to filter circuit 3 and relatively come power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation, the invention is not restricted to this.In other embodiments of the invention, can also, by output voltage being sampled, comparing and the mode of inductive current being sampled, relatively combining, carry out current limliting to power conversion circuit 2.For example; as shown in Figure 2; in one embodiment of the invention; when the output voltage of filter circuit 3 and theoretical output voltage are oppositely and when the absolute value of the output voltage of filter circuit 3 exceedes the absolute value of predefined voltage; or in the time that the absolute value of inductive current exceedes the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current, the current limliting operation to power conversion circuit 2 is all carried out in current limliting unit 43.Like this; inductive current and output voltage by while detection filter circuit 3 carry out current limliting operation to power conversion circuit 2; even if wherein a kind of detection method breaks down; also can carry out current limliting to power conversion circuit 2 according to another kind of detection method, effectively improve the reliability of the overcurrent protection of inverter 1.
It should be noted that, about the absolute value that whether is greater than predefined electric current according to the absolute value of inductive current, power conversion circuit 2 being carried out to the content of current limliting can be referring to the description of background technology, the not emphasis of the embodiment of the present invention, no matter omit in description therefore later.
Further, as shown in Figure 3, in previous embodiment, the overcurrent protective device 4 of inverter 1 also comprises removes unit 44 and current sample and comparing unit 45.Wherein, current sample and comparing unit 45 can be for the inductive current of filter circuit 3 is sampled, and the absolute value of described inductive current is compared with the absolute value of predefined electric current; Removing unit 44 can be for when power conversion circuit 2 is during by current limliting, if the output voltage of filter circuit 3 and described theoretical output voltage are in the same way, and the comparative result of current sample and comparing unit 45 is the absolute value that the absolute value of the inductive current of filter circuit 3 is less than predefined electric current, remove the current limliting to power conversion circuit 2.Wherein, the absolute value of described predefined electric current can equal the absolute value of described overcurrent protection reference current, also can be less than the absolute value of described overcurrent protection reference current.
Concrete, the diode neutral point clamp type tri-level inversion circuit shown in Fig. 4 is a concrete example of the power conversion circuit 2 shown in Fig. 1 and filter circuit 3.Below in conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, specifically to introduce overcurrent protective device 4 are output voltages of how sampling filter circuit 3 and utilize the output voltage sampling to carry out current limliting to power conversion circuit 2.Certainly, in other embodiments of the invention, the concrete structure of power conversion circuit 2 and filter circuit 3 can also be other, and embodiments of the invention are not construed as limiting this.
As shown in Figure 4, power conversion circuit 2 comprises four power switch pipe Q1-Q4, and the grid of inputting Q1-Q4 by pwm control signal carrys out the opening and closing of power ratio control switching tube Q1-Q4, can be so that the output voltage U of power conversion circuit 2 bbe respectively positive direct-current busbar voltage U inor negative DC bus-bar voltage-U inor zero potential.Wherein, D1-D4 is the diode colonizing in Q1-Q4, and D5 and D6 are clamping diode, and capacitor C 1, C2 can be by the AC ripple component filtering in the positive and negative DC bus-bar voltage of the direct-flow input end of power conversion circuit 2.Filter circuit 3 comprises filter capacitor 31 and filter inductance 32, wherein, one end of filter inductance 32 is connected with the output of the power switch pipe of power conversion circuit 2, the other end is connected with filter capacitor 31, and filter capacitor 31 one end are connected with filter inductance 32, the other end connect to neutral (N line).And one end being connected with filter inductance 32 of filter capacitor 31 is connected with load 5.In the present embodiment, filter circuit 3 is low-pass filter circuit.
Concrete, power conversion circuit 2 can be converted into alternating current by direct current, can further described alternating current be converted into theoretical output voltage after filtering after the low-pass filtering of circuit 3.Herein, described theoretical output voltage refers to the voltage of the alternating current of filter circuit 3 expection amplitude-frequency characteristic output, that have regulation and phase-frequency characteristic.Optionally, the amplitude-frequency characteristic of this theory output voltage and phase-frequency characteristic can be specified by the instruction being recorded in inverter 1, and can be by the modification realization theory output voltage amplitude-frequency characteristic to instruction and the setting of phase-frequency characteristic.In the present embodiment, can carry out suitable selection according to the parameter of the opening and closing of instruction power ratio control switching tube Q1-Q4 and the filtering device to filter circuit 3, obtain having the theoretical output voltage of regulation amplitude-frequency characteristic and phase-frequency characteristic.Concrete, in the present embodiment, in the positive half period of theoretical output voltage, can control that Q2 opens, Q4 closes, Q1 and Q3 make U according to the complementary conducting of the control of PWM bfor positive direct-current busbar voltage U inor zero potential, wherein at the alternating phases of complementary conducting, guarantee that power switch pipe exists dead band, and in the negative half-cycle of alternating current, can control that Q3 opens, Q1 closes, Q4 and Q2, according to the complementary conducting of the control of PWM, make U bfor negative DC bus-bar voltage-U inor zero potential.Equally, at the alternating phases of complementary conducting, guarantee that power switch pipe exists dead band.
Generally, the alternating current of filter circuit 3 actual outputs is total identical with theoretical output voltage, but when the load 5 of filter circuit 3 is pure capacitive load, in the time of pure capacitive load access inverter, the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality falls being subject to load 5 to affect the voltage that generation is larger, now, the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality produces larger difference with theoretical output voltage, even reverse with theoretical output voltage.
When the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality and theoretical output voltage are when reverse, the overcurrent protective device 4 of the inverter 1 of the present embodiment, by the voltage at 41 sampling filter electric capacity 31 two ends, voltage sample unit, i.e. sampling and outputting voltage U c, and pass through voltage comparison unit 42 by the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 ccompare with predefined voltage, judge output voltage U cdirection, when the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 creverse with theoretical output voltage, and the output voltage U of sampling cabsolute value while being greater than the absolute value of predefined voltage; the variation that is ahead of the inductive current of filter circuit 3 according to the variation of the output voltage of filter circuit 3 can be informed in after certain hour in advance; the absolute value of the inductive current of filter circuit 3 will be greater than the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current, thereby in advance power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting.Make a concrete analysis of as follows.
As shown in Figure 4, the voltage at filter inductance 32 two ends is the output voltage U of power conversion circuit 2 bvoltage U with filter capacitor 31 two ends cpoor, that is:
U L=U B-U C (1)
From circuit basic principle, flow through the current i of filter inductance 32 lvoltage U with filter inductance 32 two ends lthere is integral relation:
i L=1/L·∫U Ldt (2)
(1) substitution (2) is obtained
i L=1/L·∫(U B-U C)dt (3)
In the present embodiment, U bcan equal positive direct-current busbar voltage U inor negative DC bus-bar voltage-U inor 0.In the transient response of connecting in filter circuit 3 and load 5, load 5 is in parallel with filter capacitor 31, if load 5 is pure capacitive loads, and due to the impact of stray inductance, load capacitance on loaded line, the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 cto there is the process of a vibration, thereby make output voltage U cproduce larger variation.Especially, when in this voltage oscillation process, when the actual output voltage of filter circuit 3 is reverse with the theoretical output voltage that is converted into of expection, (U b-U c) absolute value also can be greater than certain value, according to (3) formula, indicating that, through after a period of time, the absolute value of the output current of filter circuit 3 may be greater than the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current.For example, in one embodiment of the invention, in the positive half period of theoretical output voltage, U cshould be for just, and U bmay be positive direct-current busbar voltage or zero, if now due to the impact of circuit oscillation make the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality and theoretical output voltage reverse, i.e. U cfor negative, (U b-U c) absolute value also can be greater than certain value, according to (3) formula, integration postpone after, may make inductive current i lexcessive, thus power switch pipe may be damaged because of overcurrent.That is to say, in the oscillatory process of transient response, when output voltage U c and theoretical output voltage reverse, and output voltage U cabsolute value while increasing to the absolute value that exceedes predefined voltage, can predict through inductive current i after a period of time labsolute value will exceed the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current.Consider from detecting that flowing to coming into force of the metering function to power conversion circuit 2 also needs certain hardware time delay and/or software delay, can carry out current limliting to power conversion circuit 2 in advance.Like this; when voltage comparison unit 42 determines that the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality and theoretical output voltage are when reverse; if current limliting unit 43 determines that the absolute value of the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality is greater than predefined magnitude of voltage; power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting; can make this metering function come into force exceed the absolute value of overcurrent protection reference current at the absolute value of inductive current before, thereby effectively improve the overcurrent protection to inverter 1.
The overcurrent protection of the overcurrent protective device 4 of inverter 1 can illustrate intuitively by one group of current-voltage relation curve.When positive half period that to Figure 5 shows that at the output voltage of filter circuit 3 be theoretical output voltage, pure capacitive load 5 accessed in the blink after filter circuit 3, the voltage in circuit, curent change curve.Wherein, the initial voltage of pure capacitive load 5 is for negative, and in the section time, the theoretical output voltage polarity of filter circuit 3 is contrary therewith.As shown in Figure 5, the voltage U that outputs to filter circuit 3 under PWM controls of the power switch pipe Q1/Q2 that curve (a) is power conversion circuit 2 b, under normal condition, the high level of curve (a) is positive direct-current bus+BUS voltage U in, low level is 0; Under limited current state, the high level of curve (a) is positive direct-current bus+BUS voltage U in, low level is according to the sequential difference of the opening and closing of power switch pipe Q1-Q4, can be 0 or negative DC bus-bar voltage-U in; Curve (b) is the voltage U at filter capacitor 31 two ends in the time phase corresponding with curve (a) csituation over time; Curve (c) is in the time phase corresponding with curve (a), (b), flows through the current i of filter inductance 32 lsituation over time.Wherein, t 0represent that load 5 accesses the moment of filter circuit 3, t 0~t 3represent that load 5 accesses a current limliting process in the transient process after filter circuit 3, its time can be for example approximately 100 microseconds.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the operation principle of the inverter 1 that the present embodiment is provided is described in detail.It should be noted that, although the present embodiment only the situation take the output voltage of filter circuit 3 as the positive half period of alternating voltage as example describes, the invention is not restricted to this, the situation of the negative half period that output voltage is alternating voltage is similar to its principle.
Concrete, in the time of positive half period that the output voltage of filter circuit 3 is alternating voltage, Q1 is in opening, the output end voltage U of power switch pipe bequal positive direct-current busbar voltage U in.When filter circuit 3 is not yet connected with load 5, output voltage U cfor U c0, load 5 accesses the t after filter circuit 3 0-t 2in time, because load 5 is pure capacitive loads, and the output voltage U at the polarity of the initial voltage at load 5 two ends and filter capacitor 31 two ends con the contrary, therefore, the output voltage U of filter capacitor 31 csharply fall.
In this stage, output voltage U cbe always negative and constantly reducing, due to the output voltage U of power conversion circuit 2 now bfor just, therefore, (U b-U c) for just and be far longer than U b.From (3) formula, output current i in the case lmay be excessive, even exceed overcurrent protection reference current.
Due to the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 cwith inductive current i lthere is as the expressed integral relation of (3) formula inductive current i lby (U b-U c) through integration after a while, inductive current i lvariation with respect to output voltage U cvariation there is certain time delay, i.e. output voltage U cvariation be ahead of output current i lvariation.Therefore, in the present embodiment, sampling and outputting voltage U ccan know in advance inductive current i lvariation tendency, thereby in advance power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting.For example, as shown in Figure 5, output voltage U cat t 0moment starts sharply to decline, corresponding, output current i lat t 2* the moment starts just sharply to rise.Wherein, output voltage U cwith output current i lvariation tendency be due to U in (3) formula on the contrary cdue to front negative sign.If at t 0moment carries out current limliting to power conversion circuit 2, may make metering function at t 2* the moment is to t 3between moment, come into force, effectively avoided the delay of current limliting operation, thereby effectively improved the over-flow protecting effect of inverter 1.
Further, time and the inductive current i of hardware delay and/or software delays in known current limliting operation lthe condition of overcurrent protection reference current under, can, according to according to (3) formula, calculate described predefined voltage.So that come into force after necessary software delay and/or hardware time delay through metering function, metering function just can be at inductive current i lwhile exceeding overcurrent reference current, come into force.
Certainly,, in order to make overcurrent protection there is larger surplus, also predefined voltage can be set for and made metering function at output current i lbefore reaching overcurrent reference current, just come into force, as long as can avoid inductive current i lgeneration overcurrent, the present invention does not limit this.
For example, in one embodiment of the invention, described predefined voltage is the negative DC bus-bar voltage-U of power conversion circuit 2 in, corresponding to t 2moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation.Current limliting unit 43, specifically for the theoretical output voltage when filter circuit 3 expection output for just, the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 reality cfor negative, and U cabsolute value be less than U intime, power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting.Be t 2moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation after corresponding hardware delay and software delays, and overcurrent protective device 4 will be at t 2* to t 3between a certain moment, make the metering function of power conversion circuit 2 come into force.
Again for example, in another embodiment of the present invention, described predefined voltage can be also 0 current potential, corresponding to t 1moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation.Current limliting unit 43, specifically for the theoretical output voltage when filter circuit 3 expection output for just, and the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 cwhile being less than 0 current potential, power conversion circuit 2 is carried out to current limliting.At t 1moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation, and, after corresponding hardware delay and software delays, overcurrent protective device 4 will be at t 2* to t 3between a certain moment, make the metering function of power conversion circuit 2 come into force.
No matter at t 1moment is still at t 2moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting operation, as long as guarantee output current i lat t 3moment is no more than overcurrent protection reference current I ref1, the present invention does not limit this.Wherein, as shown in Figure 5, the dotted line of arrow indication has not represented and in advance power conversion circuit 2 has not been carried out, in the situation of current limliting operation, flowing through the current i of inductance L l.Visible, because the coming into force of current limliting operation to power conversion circuit 2 exists delay, if at t 3moment starts power conversion circuit 2 to carry out current limliting, and this metering function will be at inductive current i lsubstantially exceed overcurrent protection reference current I ref1in time, just comes into force, and therefore can not realize in time overcurrent protection.
In another embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the current limliting process of inverter 1 is identical with previous embodiment, repeats no more herein.When power conversion circuit 2 is when by the state of overcurrent protective device 4 current limlitings, if remove unit 44 also for the theoretical output voltage of filter circuit 3 in positive half period, the output voltage U of filter circuit 3 cfor just, and the absolute value that flows through the electric current of filter inductance 32 is less than the absolute value I of predefined electric current ref2, remove the current limliting to power conversion circuit 2.In the present embodiment, the absolute value I of described predefined electric current ref2be less than the absolute value I of described overcurrent protection reference current ref1, to guarantee that removing unit 44 removes after the current limliting of power conversion circuit 2, the absolute value of inductive current is no more than the absolute value of described overcurrent protection reference current.But the absolute value I of predefined electric current in other embodiments of the invention, ref2also can equal the absolute value I of overcurrent protection reference current ref1, the embodiment of the present invention is not construed as limiting this.
It should be noted that; the theoretical output voltage of above-described embodiment Main Analysis filter circuit 3 is in positive half period; and when the output voltage of filter circuit 3 reality is negative; the operation principle of the overcurrent protective device 4 of inverter 1; but the invention is not restricted to this; situation for theoretical output voltage in negative half-cycle, the operation principle of inverter 1 and above-described embodiment broadly similar, the situation that the symbol that is the circuit parameters such as electric current, voltage is positive half period with theoretical output voltage is contrary.
