Specifically, the first filtering module 101 may be configured to filter a signal generated by the dc power source Uin, and the first backflow prevention module D1 may prevent a current between the first main switch S1 and the second main switch S2 from flowing between the third main switch S3 and the fourth main switch S4; the second reverse flow prevention module D2 may prevent current between the first and second auxiliary switches Ssub1 and Ssub2 from flowing between the third and fourth auxiliary switches Ssub3 and Ssub 4; the first main switch S1, the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the fourth main switch S4, the first auxiliary switch Ssub1, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2, the third auxiliary switch Ssub3, and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 can be turned on or off under the action of control signals input by respective control terminals, in this embodiment, the states of the switches can be controlled, so that the voltage between two input terminals of the second filter network 104 (the voltage between the first node N and the second node L) includes three levels, and then harmonics are filtered by the filtering action of the second filter network 104, so that a relatively pure ac signal is obtained on the external load R. Illustratively, when the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 are turned on and the other switches are turned off, the first bus capacitor Cbus1 and the second bus capacitor Cbus2 can provide energy to the output side through the third main switch S3, the third auxiliary switch Ssub3 and the second electromagnetic isolation module T2, and the potential difference VNL between the first node N and the second node L is the bus voltage-Vbus ═ Vcbus1+ Vcbus 2; the first bus capacitor Csub1 and the second bus capacitor Csub2 are both large enough and have negligible voltage ripples, and there are Vcubs1 ═ Vcbus2 ═ 1/2) Vbus, where Vcubs1 is the voltage across the first bus capacitor Cbus1 and Vcbus2 is the voltage across the second bus capacitor Cbus 2; when the second main switch S2, the third main switch S3, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2 and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 are controlled to be turned on and the other switches are turned off, VNL equal to-Vcubs 1 can be obtained; when the second main switch S2, the fourth main switch S4, the second auxiliary switch Ssub2, and the fourth auxiliary switch Ssub4 are turned on and the other switches are turned off, the VNL potential difference is clamped to zero; that is, the voltage between the first node N and the second node L has three states of-Vbus, - (1/2) Vbus and 0, i.e., the circuit implements the output voltage three-level function. Compared with a three-level power supply conversion device such as a diode clamp, the three-level power supply conversion device has a simple circuit structure, the traditional two-stage structure needs to simultaneously realize neutral point voltage clamping and other control of a front stage and a rear stage, and the control structure is complex; the power conversion device of the embodiment only needs to realize the control of one-level power conversion, and has a simple control structure, thereby reducing the design cost of the power conversion device and improving the cost performance and the integration level of the power conversion device.
