That is, the two PFC converter circuits in each group have the same structure, and each PFC converter circuit includes a switch circuit 202 and a diode circuit 203, where the switch circuit 202 preferably uses a bidirectional switch, such as a switch tube S1 and a switch tube S2 or a switch tube S3 and a switch tube S4, and the diode circuit 203 preferably uses two diodes, such as a diode D1 and a diode D2 or a diode D3 and a diode D4, and is a group of two PFC converter circuits; the other two groups of PFC converter circuits have the same structure as shown in fig. 1.
That is, in this example, the switch circuit 202 includes a bidirectional switch (e.g., a switch tube S1 and a switch tube S2), the diode circuit 203 includes a first diode (e.g., a diode D1) and a second diode (e.g., a diode D2), one end of the coupling inductor 201, which is away from the three-phase mains input terminal 1, is respectively connected to one end of the bidirectional switch (e.g., a switch tube S1 and a switch tube S2), an anode of the first diode (e.g., a diode D1), and a cathode of the second diode (e.g., a diode D2), the other ends of the bidirectional switch (e.g., a switch tube S1 and a switch tube S2) are connected to a midpoint of the bus capacitor circuit 3, and a cathode of the first diode (e.g., a diode D1) and an anode of the second diode (e.g., a diode D2) are respectively connected to two ends of the bus capacitor circuit 3; the other PFC conversion circuits adopt the same mechanism.
Each group of PFC conversion circuits (one group of PFC conversion circuits comprises two paths of PFC conversion circuits) comprises a coupling inductor 201, which is different from a common discrete inductor, the coupling inductor 201 is an inductor formed by winding two inductor coils on a common magnetic core, the two inductor coils reach different coupling coefficients M by adjusting the coil distance and the magnetic core structure of the inductor, and the coupling coefficients M can be adjusted according to actual needs or circuits, and the value range of the coupling coefficients M is 0-1.
Preferably, in this embodiment, the two inductance coils of the coupling inductance 201 have the same winding number and the same inductance; and the different-name ends of one side of the two inductance coils are connected and are connected with an input alternating current phase line of the three-phase commercial power input end 1.
In this embodiment, the period start time and the period end time of the two switching circuits in the same PFC converter circuit group are different, and preferably, the period start time and the period end time of the switching circuit 202 in the second switching circuit group are different from the period start time and the period end time of the switching circuit 202 in the first switching circuit group by half a period when the switching circuits 202 in the second switching circuit group are connected to the PFC converter circuit group of the same input phase. For example, the two paths of PFC converter circuits of the first group of two paths of PFC converter circuits are switched on and off under the control of the inductor current, wherein the start and end times of the period of the second/second path of PFC converter circuits 202 are advanced or delayed by half the period time of the first/first path of PFC converter circuits 202, that is, the two paths of PFC converter circuits are divided into two paths of circuits controlled by 180 degrees in an interlaced manner in a single-phase PFC converter circuit, so as to optimize the control process of the three-phase PFC converter circuits connected in parallel in an interlaced manner based on the coupled inductor. The switching circuit 202 in this example is preferably a bi-directional switch.
The control timing difference between the switch circuits 202 of two adjacent groups of PFC conversion circuits in this example is one third of a cycle or 120 ° in phase.
Referring to fig. 1, the specific control timing sequence of the bidirectional switch 202 of the six-path PFC converter circuit is as follows: assuming that the control period of the bidirectional switch 202 is T, at a time T equal to 0, the switching tube S1 and the switching tube S2 in the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) of the first path are controlled to be turned on, and at a time T equal to 1/2T, the switching tube S3 and the switching tube S4 in the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) of the second path are controlled to be turned on; at time T of 1/3T, the switching tube S5 and the switching tube S6 of the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) in the third path are controlled to be turned on; when T is 5/6T, the switching tube S7 and the switching tube S8 of the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) in the fourth path are controlled to be turned on; when T is 2/3T, the switching tube S9 and the switching tube S10 of the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) in the fifth path are controlled to be turned on; when T is 7/6T, that is, at the time of the next cycle 1/6T, the switching tube S11 and the switching tube S12 of the bidirectional switch (the switching circuit 202) in the sixth path are controlled to be turned on; the closing time of each two-way switch is controlled by hardware or software according to the working state of the circuit.
In the first set of two-way PFC converter circuits described in this example, the two switching circuits 202 are controlled to be turned on and off by the inductor current, wherein the start and end times of the cycle of the second/second switching circuit 202 are advanced or delayed by half the cycle time of the first switching circuit 202. The waveforms of the inductive current of the two PFC conversion circuits and the total current of the first input are shown in fig. 2, so that the current ripples are offset after the two PFC conversion circuits are connected in parallel in a staggered manner, and the total current ripple is greatly smaller than the single current ripple.
The three-level PFC converter circuit 2 of the present embodiment may be divided into three-phase interleaved 120-degree phase-controlled coupled inductor interleaved PFC circuits, and each phase coupled inductor interleaved PFC circuit may be equivalent to a single-phase coupled inductor PFC circuit in the positive half cycle and the negative half cycle of the input alternating current, as shown in fig. 3. The switching tube S1 and the switching tube S2 are turned on, the pulse phase difference is Ts/2(Ts is the switching period), the on pulse width is equal, and the self inductance of the coupling inductor 201 is equal (L1 is equal to L2 is equal to L). The PFC conversion circuit has 4 working states in total. The equivalent circuit of half a switching cycle, two operating modes, and one switching cycle coupled inductor current waveform are shown in fig. 3.
When the device is in the first working mode t 0-t 1: before the time t0, the switching tube S2 is cut off, and the inductor L2 discharges through the diode D2; at time t0, switching tube S1 is turned on, and current i1 rises linearly, so that there is a possibility that current i2 rises due to the coupling effect of inductance. According to analysis, whether the current i2 rises or not depends on the magnitude of the coupling coefficient M of the inductor L1 and the inductor L2 and the magnitude of the on-duty ratio D.
When the working mode is the second working mode t 1-t 2: the switch tube S1 is turned off, the switch tube S2 is turned off, the switch tube S1 is turned off, the current i1 flows through the diode D1, the current i2 flows through the diode D2, and the current i1 and the current i2 both decrease linearly.
After time t3, the coupling inductor 201 alternates the parallel PFC converter into the next half of the switching cycle, and the two operating modes in this half of the switching cycle are similar to the two operating modes in the first half of the switching cycle, except that the two channels are switched.
Setting the duty cycle to D, the voltage gain can be calculated as:
(ii) a The
coupling inductor 201 is only related to the conduction duty ratio of the output voltage of the interleaved parallel PFC conversion circuit, and is not related to other factors such as the coupling coefficient and the load. Therefore, a control scheme which is reliable and mature before can be adopted on the circuit control, namely:
. The above equation shows that the coupling inductance staggers and connects the current ripples of each channel of the PFC converter in parallel, and the ripples are related to the coupling coefficient. The coupling coefficient M can be adjusted according to the actual circuit requirement, so that the control system and the control process of the three-phase interleaved parallel PFC circuit based on the coupling inductor are more flexible, and the adaptability is stronger.
The size of the coupling inductor 201 shown in fig. 1 is reduced compared to the conventional circuit, but the optimized design shown in fig. 4 can be adopted to achieve the objectives of smaller size, thinner thickness and higher power density, for which the coupling inductor 201 in this embodiment includes two or more coupling inductors connected in series. The design can further solve the problems of height, volume, heat dissipation and the like, and one coupling inductor 201 is divided into two or more coupling inductors connected in series, so that the height and the volume are further reduced, and the heat dissipation is optimized. The series-connected coupling inductors 201 can be made of traditional annular magnetic rings, the equivalent coupling coefficient M can be controlled by adjusting the proportion of coils, the height and the size of an inductor device can be reduced, heat is dispersed, and the power density is improved.
In this embodiment, two or more coupling inductors 201 are adopted, and the number of turns of the coupling coils may be different, that is, the coupling inductor 201 includes a first coupling inductor L1 and a second coupling inductor L2 connected in series, the first coupling inductor L1 and the second coupling inductor L2 have the same structure, in fact, the first coupling inductor L1 to the sixth coupling inductor L6 are the same type of inductor, and the coil number ratio is N1: n2, such a design facilitates manufacturing and fabrication; the connection method comprises the following steps: a coil N1 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected with an input A-phase voltage in a homonymous mode, a coil N1 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected with a coil N2 of the second coupling inductor L2 in a synonym mode, and a coil N2 of the second coupling inductor L2 is connected with a switch tube S1, a diode D1 and a diode D2 in a synonym mode; a coil N2 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected with an input A-phase voltage in a different name mode, a coil N2 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected with a coil N1 different name end of the second coupling inductor L2 in a same name mode, and a coil N1 of the second coupling inductor L2 is connected with a switch tube S2, a diode D3 and a diode D4 in a same name mode.
In other words, in this embodiment, the dotted terminal of the coil N1 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected to the three-phase mains input terminal 1, the dotted terminal of the coil N1 of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected to the dotted terminal of the coil N2 of the second coupling inductor L2, and the dotted terminal of the coil N2 of the second coupling inductor L2 is connected to the switch circuit 202 of the first path and the diode circuit 203 of the first path; a coil N2 synonym terminal of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected to the three-phase mains input terminal 1, a coil N2 synonym terminal of the first coupling inductor L1 is connected to a coil N1 synonym terminal of the second coupling inductor L2, and a coil N1 synonym terminal of the second coupling inductor L2 is connected to the switch circuit 202 of the second path and the diode circuit 203 of the second path.
Preferably, for a magnetic core with a fixed structure, by adjusting the coil turn ratio N1 of each of the first coupling inductor L1 and the second coupling inductor L2: n2, the coupling coefficient M can be adjusted equivalently, the coupling coefficient M is close to 1 when N1 equals N2, the coupling coefficient M is close to 0 when N1 equals 0 or N2 equals 0, and 0< M <1 by adjusting the coil ratio N1 equals N2.
The other two corresponding PFC conversion circuits are connected similarly.
Therefore, the preferred circuit topology using two coupling inductors in this embodiment has the advantage that, in some conventional inductors, such as inductors wound by a toroidal magnetic ring, the magnetic core of the conventional inductor is circular and cannot change the magnetic circuit, and when the conventional inductor is used for manufacturing the coupling inductor, the coupling coefficient of the conventional inductor cannot be adjusted, so that the parameter performance of the conventional inductor cannot be optimized by adjusting the coupling coefficient. By adopting 2 or more coupled inductors, the inductor can be manufactured by winding a traditional annular magnetic ring, and the ratio of the coupled turns is adjusted to be N1: n2 adjusts the equivalent coupling coefficient. Assuming N1> N2, then N1: the larger the proportion of N2, the smaller the equivalent coupling coefficient.
In a specific embodiment, for example, for a toroidal inductor, two separate coupling inductors may be further combined, as shown in fig. 5, the coupling inductor 201 includes a first coupling inductor L1 and a second coupling inductor L2 connected in series, the first coupling inductor L1 and the second coupling inductor L2 have the same structure, and the coil turn ratio is N1: n2; after the coil N1 of the first coupling inductor L1 is completed, the coil N2 is continuously wound on the magnetic ring of the second coupling inductor L2, and after the coil N1 of the second coupling inductor L2 is completed, the coil N2 is continuously wound on the magnetic ring of the first coupling inductor L1, so that 4 outgoing pins can be reduced, the size is further reduced, the PCB layout is facilitated, and specific structural drawings are shown in fig. 6 to 8.
The present example also provides a three-phase interleaved parallel PFC circuit control system based on the coupling inductor 201, which includes the three-phase interleaved parallel PFC circuit based on the coupling inductor 201 as described above.
In summary, the coupling inductor 201 is adopted to replace an independent inductor, the structural design and the time sequence control of the circuit are optimized, each winding of the coupling inductor 201 is connected to the three-level PFC conversion circuit 2 in a staggered and parallel connection mode, so that the input current ripple and the output current ripple can be greatly reduced, the volume and the number of inductors can be effectively reduced, the volume of an input EMC filter can be reduced, the EMC interference can be reduced, the number of output filter capacitors can be reduced, and the power density can be increased; on the basis, the coupling inductor 201 can be further optimized to reduce the height and volume of the inductor device, disperse heat and improve power density.
