As described in the background art, the power control circuit in the prior art has a problem that the test requirements of the industry on voltage flicker and harmonic content cannot be met at the same time, and the inventor finds that the problem is caused because the existing power control method often adopts a wave dropping technique for power control, and the waveform of the wave dropping technique is shown in fig. 1. The wave dropping technology comprises two waveforms of a full positive (or negative) half wave mode or a spaced full wave mode.
The frequency of the full-half wave (positive half wave or negative half wave) mode is the same as that of the alternating current power supply, and the frequency of the alternating current power supply exceeds the range which can be determined by human beings, namely, the flicker problem can not be caused. However, the waveform difference of the energy that can be supplied by the ac power supply in a statistical period is large, which may cause a serious harmonic current problem. Therefore, the full positive (or negative) half-wave mode can only meet the requirements of the voltage flicker test but cannot meet the requirements of the harmonic content test.
The interval type full wave mode has almost no difference in shape from the waveform of energy which can be supplied by the power grid in a statistical period averagely (namely, the obtained waveform is equivalent to a sine wave with reduced amplitude), and the problem of harmonic current cannot be caused. However, the frequency of the waveform is half of the frequency of the alternating current power supply, the flicker can be judged by naked eyes, and the voltage fluctuation shows that the power drops from 100 percent to 0 percent in an observation interval and then rises to 100 percent of violent fluctuation. A large problem of fluctuating flicker arises.
Therefore, the control mode based on the wave dropping technology in the traditional technology cannot meet the test requirements of voltage flicker and harmonic content in the industry at the same time.
Based on the above reasons, the invention provides a power control method, which is applied to a control module for controlling a power load of a household appliance, wherein the power load is connected to a mains supply through a controllable switch, the mains supply can output a full wave, and the full wave comprises a first half wave and a second half wave. It is understood that utility power refers to a sinusoidal ac power source provided by the power system to the average user. The full wave refers to a complete sine wave, the complete sine wave consists of a positive half wave and a negative half wave, and when the first half wave is the negative half wave, the second half wave is the positive half wave; when the first half-wave is a negative half-wave, the second half-wave is a positive half-wave.
As shown in fig. 2, the power control method provided by the present invention includes step S100.
And S100, controlling the on-off of the controllable switch by the control module so that the commercial power loads a periodic preset waveform signal to the power load.
The preset waveform signal includes a first preset number of first half waves and a second preset number of full waves.
It will be appreciated that the full half wave mode does not cause flicker problems but carries more harmonics, whereas the spaced full wave mode has low harmonic content but causes flicker problems. In order to combine the advantages of the two methods, the controllable switch is controlled, so that the periodic preset waveform signal loaded to the power load by the mains supply contains a first half wave of a first preset quantity and a full wave of a second preset quantity. The harmonic content in the full-half-wave mode is reduced by adding a second preset number of full waves with lower harmonic content, so that the preset waveform signal meets the requirements on voltage flicker and harmonic content in the industry.
Step S100 is specifically realized by step S110 and step S130.
And S110, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched off until the commercial power loads a first half-wave with a first preset number to the power load.
The first zero crossing point is a zero crossing point when the commercial power is switched from the second half wave to the first half wave, the second zero crossing point is a zero crossing point when the commercial power is switched from the first half wave to the second half wave, and a full wave output by the commercial power comprises a first zero crossing point and a second zero crossing point. As shown in the figure, the interval between the first zero-crossing point and the second zero-crossing point is the same as the duration of the first half-wave, the controllable switch is turned on at the first zero-crossing point and turned off at the second zero-crossing point, and the commercial power can be connected to the power load through the controllable switch and load a complete first half-wave to the power load during the time period when the controllable switch is turned on. In a plurality of continuous full waves of the commercial power output, the controllable switch is controlled repeatedly in a manner of controlling the controllable switch in step S110, so that the commercial power can load a first preset number of first half-waves to the power load.
And S130, when the commercial power loads the first zero crossing point after the first half of the first preset number to the power load, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on so that the commercial power loads the full wave of the second preset number to the power load.
After the first half waves of the first preset quantity are loaded on the power load, in order to reduce the harmonic content, the full waves of the second preset quantity are loaded on the power load. If the interval between the last first half-wave and the first full-wave in a single period of the preset waveform signal is too long, the output power of the utility power may suddenly change from 50% to 0% and then suddenly change from 0% to 100% in the utility power period, which will bring about the problem of voltage flicker again. In order to ensure the continuity of the preset waveform signal, the controllable switch needs to be controlled to be turned on at the first zero crossing point after the mains supply loads the first half of the first preset number to the power load, and the controllable switch is controlled to be turned off after the mains supply loads the full wave of the second preset number to the power load. Fig. 3 schematically illustrates the preset waveform signals in one embodiment, and it is understood that although a plurality of first half waves and a plurality of full waves are illustrated, fig. 3 is only an illustration, and both the first preset number and the second preset number may be 1.
Based on the power control method in the embodiment of the application, the controllable switch is controlled by the control module according to the zero-crossing point of the commercial power, so that the commercial power can load a periodic preset waveform signal to the power load through the controllable switch. The preset waveform signal comprises a first preset number of the first half waves and a second preset number of the full waves, and the advantages of the interval type full wave mode and the full half wave mode are integrated, so that the preset waveform signal loaded on the power load can simultaneously pass the test requirements of voltage flicker and harmonic content.
In an embodiment, the preset waveform signal includes the first half-waves of the first preset number, the full-waves of the second preset number, and the second half-waves of the third preset number, as shown in fig. 4, and the step S100 is specifically implemented by steps S110 to S150.
And S110, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched off until the commercial power loads a first half-wave with a first preset number to the power load.
And S130, when the commercial power loads the first zero crossing point after the first half of the first preset number to the power load, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on so that the commercial power loads the full wave of the second preset number to the power load.
And S150, after the commercial power loads a second preset number of full waves to the power load, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be turned off, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be turned on until the commercial power loads a third preset number of second half waves to the power load.
It will be appreciated that, in order to ensure the symmetry of the waveform, the preset waveform signal may further comprise a third preset number of consecutive second half-waves after the mains supply loads the power load with the second preset number of full-waves. Fig. 5 schematically illustrates the preset waveform signals in another embodiment, and it is understood that although a plurality of first half-waves, a plurality of second half-waves and a plurality of full-waves are illustrated, fig. 5 is only an exemplary diagram, and the first preset number, the second preset number and the third preset number may be 1.
In an embodiment, the control module is connected to the zero-crossing detection module, and the zero-crossing detection module is configured to detect a zero-crossing point of the utility power and output a zero-crossing detection signal, as shown in the figure, the method further includes steps S200 and S210.
S200, the control module acquires a zero-crossing detection signal output by the zero-crossing detection module.
The zero-crossing detection signal is used for reflecting the level turnover condition of the commercial power, and a first zero-crossing point and a second zero-crossing point of the commercial power can be judged according to the zero-crossing detection signal.
S210, if the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the second level to the first level, the control module judges that the commercial power is at a first zero-crossing point; if the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the first level to the second level, the control module judges that the commercial power is at a second zero-crossing point.
Specifically, the zero-crossing detection module correspondingly outputs a zero-crossing detection signal of the second level when the commercial power outputs the second half-wave, and the zero-crossing detection module correspondingly outputs a zero-crossing detection signal of the first level when the commercial power outputs the first half-wave, so that when the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the second level to the first level, the commercial power can be judged to be at the first zero crossing point. When the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the first level to the second level, the commercial power can be judged to be at the second zero-crossing point.
In some embodiments, the first preset number, the second preset number and the third preset number may be set according to the power required to be output by the power load and the test requirements of voltage flicker and harmonic content. Increasing the first predetermined amount and/or the third predetermined amount may cause the power output by the power load to approach 50% of the rated power, and reduce the voltage flicker, but may increase the harmonic content of the predetermined waveform signal. Increasing the second predetermined amount to cause the power output by the power load to approach 100% of the rated power and decreasing the harmonics in the predetermined waveform signal may increase the voltage flicker.
Since the half-power (50% of rated power) output gear is the gear which is common in household appliances at present, in some embodiments, when the power of the power load is controlled to be 50% of the rated power as the target, the sum of the first preset number and the third preset number is greater than the second preset number, so that the power of the power load approaches 50% of the rated power. In some embodiments, the first predetermined number is equal to the third predetermined number, and a sum of the first predetermined number and the third predetermined number is greater than the second predetermined number. Preferably, the first predetermined number is equal to the third predetermined number and takes a value of 10 to 12, and the second predetermined number is 1. The inventor finds that if the number of the first half-wave and the second half-wave in the preset waveform signal is too large, the preset waveform signal may be similar to the output waveform of the full half-wave mode, so that the preset waveform signal cannot pass the detection when the harmonic condition of the preset waveform signal is determined according to the calculation and judgment criteria of the total harmonic current, the total harmonic distortion rate and the partial odd harmonic current. When the preset waveform signal is output according to the preferred embodiment, the preset waveform signal realizes that the output power is 50% of the rated power and simultaneously meets the requirements of a voltage flicker test and a harmonic content test.
It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of fig. 2, 4 and 6 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, the steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows. The steps are not performed in the exact order shown and described, and may be performed in other orders, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Moreover, at least some of the steps in fig. 2, 4 and 6 may include multiple steps or multiple stages, which are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times, and the order of performing the steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be performed alternately or alternately with other steps or at least some of the other steps.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a power control circuit, which is applied to control a power load 300 of a household appliance, as shown in fig. 7, the power control circuit includes a controllable switch 500 and a control module 700.

The preset waveform signal includes a first preset number of first half waves and a second preset number of full waves. When the utility power 100 is at the first zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned on, and when the utility power 100 is at the second zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned off until the utility power 100 loads the first half-wave of the first preset number to the power load 300. When the commercial power 100 loads the first zero-crossing point after the first half of the first preset number to the power load 300, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned on, so that the commercial power 100 loads the full waves of the second preset number to the power load 300. Reference is made to the above for a description of the functions performed by the control module 700.
In one embodiment, the control module 700 is further configured to control on/off of the controllable switch 500 to enable the utility power 100 to load the periodic preset waveform signal to the power load 300 as a first half-wave with a first preset number, a second full-wave with a second preset number, and a third half-wave with a third preset number. When the utility power 100 is at the first zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned on, and when the utility power 100 is at the second zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned off until the utility power 100 loads the first half-wave of the first preset number to the power load 300. When the utility power 100 loads the first zero-crossing point after the first half of the first preset number to the power load 300, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned on, so that the utility power 100 loads the full waves of the second preset number to the power load 300. After the utility power 100 loads the second preset number of full waves to the power load 300, when the utility power 100 is at the first zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned off, and when the utility power 100 is at the second zero crossing point, the control module 700 controls the controllable switch 500 to be turned on until the utility power 100 loads the third preset number of second half waves to the power load 300.
In one embodiment, the power control circuit further includes a zero-crossing detection module, and the zero-crossing detection module is configured to detect a zero-crossing point of the utility power 100 and output a zero-crossing detection signal. The control module 700 is connected to the zero-crossing detection module and is further configured to obtain a zero-crossing detection signal output by the zero-crossing detection module. And is used for judging that the commercial power 100 is at the first zero-crossing point when the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the second level to the first level. And is used for determining that the commercial power 100 is at the second zero crossing point when the zero-crossing detection signal suddenly changes from the first level to the second level.
In one embodiment, the controllable switch 500 is a triac, and the control module 700 includes a controller and a driving unit, and the driving unit includes an optical coupling isolation circuit.

The first output end of the first optical coupler is connected with the control end of the bidirectional thyristor, and the second output end of the first optical coupler is connected with the common end of the bidirectional thyristor and the power load through a resistor R5. Preferably, the first optical coupler device is a zero-cross optical coupler device. The controller sends a driving signal to the bidirectional controllable silicon through the IO end, so that the bidirectional controllable silicon is controlled to be switched on and off. Specifically, the duration of the driving signal may be changed to make the conduction time of the triac different, so that the commercial power may output the first half-wave or the second half-wave and the full-wave through the triac.
Furthermore, the bidirectional controllable silicon can also be connected with an RC circuit in parallel. The RC circuit comprises a resistor R6 and a capacitor C1. The voltage change rate of the bidirectional controllable silicon can be reduced by arranging the RC circuit, the bidirectional controllable silicon is prevented from being conducted by mistake, and a voltage peak is absorbed.

During the first half-wave period of the first preset number, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched off until the commercial power loads the first half-wave of the first preset number to the power load. And when the mains supply loads a first zero crossing point after a first half of a first preset quantity to the power load, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on so that the mains supply loads a second preset quantity of full waves to the power load.
In an embodiment, the preset waveform signal comprises said first preset number of said first half-waves, said second preset number of said full-waves and a third preset number of said second half-waves, the computer program when being executed by the processor implementing the steps of: the control module controls the on-off of the controllable switch so that the mains supply loads a periodic preset waveform signal to the power load.
During the first half-wave period of the first preset number, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched off until the commercial power loads the first half-wave of the first preset number to the power load. And when the mains supply loads a first zero crossing point after a first half of a first preset quantity to the power load, the control module controls the controllable switch to be switched on so that the mains supply loads a second preset quantity of full waves to the power load. After the commercial power loads a second preset number of full waves to the power load, when the commercial power is at a first zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be turned off, and when the commercial power is at a second zero crossing point, the control module controls the controllable switch to be turned on until the commercial power loads a third preset number of second half waves to the power load.
In one embodiment, the computer program when executed by the processor implements the steps of:
