The output end of the heating current source 11 is connected to the bridge arm input end of the bridge arm to be tested in the power conversion unit 10 to be tested, and the input end of the heating current source 11 is connected to the bridge arm output end of the bridge arm to be tested, so as to provide heating current to the power conversion unit 10 to be tested.
The heating current may be a current when the power conversion unit normally operates.

The measurement current is smaller than the heating current, and the value of the measurement current needs to enable a single switch tube to be conducted so as to measure the conduction voltage drop of the switch tube and avoid the excessive temperature rise of the switch tube.
The switching tube control unit 13 is connected to the control end of each switching tube in the bridge arm to be measured, and is configured to control the switching tube to be turned on when the detection device provides the heating current and the measurement current.
In practical application, the switch tube may be a triode or a MOS tube.

When the switch tube is an MOS tube, the control end of the MOS tube is a grid electrode, the input end of the switch tube is a drain electrode, and the output end of the switch tube is a source electrode.
The conduction voltage drop measuring unit 14 is connected to the input end and the output end of each switching tube in the bridge arm to be measured, and is used for measuring the conduction voltage drop of the power conversion unit 10 to be measured when the power conversion unit 10 to be measured flows the measurement current.
The signal processing unit 15 is respectively connected to the heating current source 11, the measurement current source 12, the switching tube control unit 13, and the conduction voltage drop measurement unit 14, and the signal processing unit 15 is configured to control the switching tube control unit 13 to turn on each switching tube in the detected bridge arm, so that the heating current is input to each switching tube for a preset time period, control the switching tube control unit 13 to turn on each switching tube in sequence, control the measurement current source 12 to input the measurement current to the turned-on target switching tube during the turn-on period of each switching tube, control the conduction voltage drop measurement unit 14 to collect the conduction voltage drop of the target switching tube, and determine whether the current sharing characteristic of the detected power conversion unit 10 reaches the standard or not based on the conduction voltage drops corresponding to all the switching tubes.
The value of the preset time period is determined based on the junction temperature of the switching tube reaching a preset temperature threshold, and the value of the preset temperature threshold is determined according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, taking the connection relationship between the detection device of the power conversion unit shown in fig. 4 and the power conversion unit 10 to be tested as an example, assuming that the bridge arm to be tested is an upper bridge arm, the bridge arm to be tested includes: the n switching tubes are respectively a switching tube 1-a switching tube n, the detection principle is shown in fig. 5, and the whole detection process is as follows:
when the detection is started at the time t0, the signal processing unit 15 sends a switching tube control signal to the switching tube control unit 13, so that the switching tube control unit 13 controls gate voltages of n switching tubes (switching tubes 1 to n) in the upper bridge arm to be far higher than gate-level turn-on thresholds of the switching tubes, and all the switching tubes 1 to n are in a turn-on state. The signal processing unit 15 controls the heating current source 11 to output heating current, and the heating current passes through the switching tube 1 to the switching tube n to heat the n switching tubes, so that the junction temperature of the switching tube 1 to the switching tube n can rise rapidly. Due to the existence of imbalance factors such as device characteristics, loop impedance and the like, the currents from the switch tube 1 to the switch tube n are imbalanced, and junction temperature deviation is caused.
At the time t1, when the junction temperature of each switching tube reaches a preset temperature threshold value, so that the junction temperature can be measured more accurately, the signal processing unit 15 controls the heating current source 11 to stop outputting the heating current, and the measurement stage is started.
In the measurement phase, the signal processing unit 15 controls the gate-level voltages of the switching tubes 1 to n to be higher than the gate-level turn-on threshold of the switching tubes through the switching tube control unit 13, so that the switching tubes 1 to n are in the on state respectively, and controls the measurement current source 12 to input the measurement current into the switching tube turned on in the n switching tubes when the switching tubes 1 to n are turned on, and measures and records the on voltage drops of the switching tubes 1 to n respectively.
Specifically, the switching tube control unit 13 controls the gate level of the switching tube 1 to be a high level at the time t2, so that the switching tube 1 is in a conducting state, other switching tubes are in an off state, and the measurement current is output through the measurement current source 12 at the time t2, at this time, the measurement current completely flows through the switching tube 1, and the conducting voltage drop Vce1 of the switching tube 1 is tested and recorded through the conducting voltage drop measurement unit 14.
And when the measurement on the switching tube 1 is finished at the time t3, the measurement current source 12 stops outputting the measurement current, and the switching tube control unit 13 controls the switching tube 1 to be switched off.
At the time of t4, the switching tube control unit 13 controls the gate level of the switching tube 2 to be a high level, so that the switching tube 2 is in a conducting state, other switching tubes are in a turn-off state, and the measurement current is output through the measurement current source 12 at the time of t4, at this time, the measurement current completely flows through the switching tube 2, and the conduction voltage drop Vce2 from the testing of the switching tube 2 is recorded through the conduction voltage drop measurement unit 14.
At time t5, the measurement of the switching tube 2 is finished, the measurement current source 12 stops outputting the measurement current, and the switching tube control unit 13 controls the switching tube 2 to be disconnected.
And repeating the process until the conduction voltage Vcen of the switching tube n is measured at the time of tn + 1.
It should be noted that, since the junction temperature of each switching tube decreases slowly after the heating current stops, the measurement stage must be completed quickly, so as to effectively reduce the influence of the junction temperature of the switching tube decreasing naturally on the measurement result.
Finally, whether each switch tube in the power conversion unit 10 to be tested is not current-sharing is determined based on the conduction voltage drop Vce1, the conduction voltage drop Vce2, and the conduction voltage drop ….
In practical application, the conduction voltage drops corresponding to the n switching tubes can be compared, and if the conduction voltage drops are different greatly, it is indicated that the current-sharing characteristic of the measured power conversion unit 10 does not reach the standard; on the contrary, if the difference of the conduction voltage drops is not large, it indicates that the current sharing characteristic of the measured power conversion unit 10 reaches the standard.
In summary, the present invention discloses a detection device for a power conversion unit, the detection device comprising: the current-sharing characteristic testing device comprises a heating current source 11, a measuring current source 12, a switch tube control unit 13, a conduction voltage drop measurement unit 14 and a signal processing unit 15, wherein the signal processing unit 15 controls the switch tube control unit 13 to conduct each switch tube in a tested bridge arm, so that heating current is input to each switch tube for a preset time period, then controls the switch tube control unit 13 to conduct each switch tube in sequence, controls the measuring current source 12 to input measuring current to a conducted target switch tube during the conduction period of each switch tube, controls the conduction voltage drop measurement unit 14 to collect the conduction voltage drop of the target switch tube, and determines whether the current-sharing characteristic of the tested power conversion unit 10 reaches the standard or not based on the conduction voltage drop sizes corresponding to all the switch tubes. The invention can realize off-line detection of the power conversion unit, can detect the condition that the current sharing characteristic of the power conversion unit does not reach the standard due to the abnormal and unbalanced parameters of the welding resistance, the stray inductance and the like of each parallel branch of the power conversion unit at one time, and has high automation degree and short time consumption in the whole process.
Preferably, the heating current source 11 and the measuring current source 12 can be both direct current sources.
To further optimize the above embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the switching tube control unit 13 may include: a controllable voltage source.
The number of the controllable voltage sources is the same as that of each switching tube in the bridge arm to be tested, for example, if the bridge arm to be tested includes n switching tubes, the number of the controllable voltage sources is also n. Compared with the condition that only one controllable voltage source is connected with all the switching tubes, the invention can realize that each switching tube is controlled by the only corresponding controllable voltage source, so that the number of the conducted switching tubes is one or more according to actual needs.
A positive terminal of each controllable voltage source is used as a control pin of the switch tube control unit 13 and is used for being connected with a control end of a target switch tube, and a negative terminal of each controllable voltage source is used for being connected with an output end of the target switch tube, wherein the target switch tube is any one switch tube in the bridge arm to be tested, and different controllable voltage sources are connected with different target switch tubes.
Each controllable voltage source controls the on and off of one switching tube. The controllable voltage source outputs a gate voltage higher than the switching threshold of the switching tube gate machine to the connected switching tube to control the conduction of the switching tube.

Corresponding to the embodiment of the device, the invention also discloses a detection method of the power conversion unit.
Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of a detection method for a power conversion unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a signal processing unit in a detection apparatus, and the detection method includes:

Specifically, the signal processing unit sends a switching tube control signal to the switching tube control unit, so that the switching tube control unit controls gate voltages of n switching tubes (switching tubes 1 to n) in the upper bridge arm to be far higher than gate-level turn-on thresholds of the switching tubes, and the switching tubes 1 to n are all in a turn-on state.
Heating current passes through the switching tubes 1 to n to heat the n switching tubes, so that junction temperatures of the switching tubes 1 to n rise rapidly.

And step S104, determining whether the current sharing characteristic of the tested power conversion unit tube reaches the standard or not based on the conduction voltage drop corresponding to all the switch tubes.
In practical application, the conduction voltage drops corresponding to the n switching tubes can be compared, and if the conduction voltage drops have larger difference, it indicates that the current sharing characteristic of the tested power conversion unit 10 does not reach the standard; on the contrary, if the difference of the conduction voltage drops is not large, it indicates that the current sharing characteristic of the measured power conversion unit 10 reaches the standard.
