The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.
Fig. 1 is an exemplary block diagram of an overcurrent protection circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the overcurrent protection circuit includes a control signal generator 1, a sampling circuit 2, and a protection circuit 3.
The control signal generator 1 is configured to provide a control signal.
In some embodiments, the control signal provided by the control signal generator 1 is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal.
The sampling circuit 2 is provided on a bus of the PFC circuit. The sampling circuit 2 is configured to provide a sampling voltage.
Fig. 2 is an exemplary block diagram of a sampling circuit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2, a rectifier circuit 41, an inductor 42, and a switching device 43 are included in the PFC circuit. In some embodiments, the switching device 43 is an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). And a sampling circuit 2 is arranged on the PFC bus. In some embodiments, the sampling circuit 2 comprises a sampling resistor 21. A first end of the sampling resistor 21 is electrically connected to a ground terminal of the PFC circuit, and a second end of the sampling resistor 21 is electrically connected to a negative input terminal of the rectifier circuit 41.
when the switching device 43 is turned on, a current flowing in a clockwise direction is formed among the rectifying circuit 41, the inductor 42, the switching device 43, and the sampling resistor 21. The current passes through the sampling resistor 21, and a voltage is developed across the sampling resistor 21. Obviously, the larger the current on the PFC bus, the larger the voltage formed across the resistor 21, and therefore, the present disclosure detects whether the PFC bus has an overcurrent by sampling the voltage. Here, the voltage at the first terminal of the sampling resistor 21 is taken as the sampling voltage Vs.
in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the protection circuit 3 is configured to stop sending the control signal to the PFC circuit to interrupt the operation of the PFC circuit in the case where the sampled voltage is greater than the voltage of the control signal.
In some embodiments, the protection circuit 3 is further configured to send the control signal provided by the control signal generator 1 to the PFC circuit in case the sampled voltage is not greater than the voltage of the control signal.
Fig. 3 is an exemplary block diagram of a protection circuit of one embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 3, the protection circuit 3 includes a voltage comparator 31. The non-inverting input terminal 311 of the voltage comparator 31 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the control signal generator 1, the inverting input terminal 312 of the voltage comparator 31 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the sampling resistor 21, and the output terminal 313 of the voltage comparator 31 is electrically connected to the PFC circuit.
In some embodiments, if the sampled voltage Vs is not greater than the control signal, it indicates that no overcurrent occurs on the PFC bus at this time, in which case the voltage comparator 31 normally outputs the control signal. If the sampling voltage Vs is greater than the control signal, it indicates that the PFC bus is in an overcurrent state, and in this case, the voltage comparator 31 stops outputting the control signal, so that the switching device 43 in the PFC circuit is in an off state, and thus, the impact of a large current on the inductor 42 and the switching device 43 is effectively avoided.
In the overcurrent protection device provided by the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the sampling voltage and the voltage of the control signal are directly compared, and the PFC circuit is directly controlled according to the voltage comparison result. According to the method and the device, the sampling information does not need to be processed through software, so that the response can be timely made under the condition that the PFC bus is over-current, and the PFC circuit can be effectively protected.
Fig. 4 is an exemplary block diagram of an over-current protection circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the overcurrent protection circuit further includes a driving circuit 5.
The driving circuit 5 is configured to amplify the control signal output from the voltage comparator 31 and send the amplified control signal to the PFC circuit.
In some embodiments, the input terminal 51 of the driving circuit 5 is electrically connected to the output terminal 313 of the voltage comparator 31, and the output terminal 52 of the driving circuit 5 is electrically connected to the switching device 43 in the PFC circuit. The switching device 43 is driven efficiently by a control signal via the drive circuit 5.
Fig. 5 is an exemplary block diagram of a PFC circuit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the PFC circuit includes the overcurrent protection circuit according to any one of the embodiments of fig. 1 to 4.
As shown in fig. 5, the control signal generator 1 provides a control signal. The voltage comparator 31 compares the control signal voltage with the sampling voltage supplied by the sampling resistor 21. If the sampling voltage is not greater than the control signal, it indicates that no overcurrent occurs in the PFC bus at this time, and in this case, the voltage comparator 31 normally outputs the control signal. The driving circuit 5 amplifies the control signal and provides the amplified control signal to the switching device 43, so as to control the PFC circuit accordingly. If the sampling voltage is greater than the control signal, it indicates that the PFC bus is overcurrent, and in this case, the voltage comparator 31 stops outputting the control signal, so that the switching device 43 is in a cut-off state, thereby effectively avoiding the impact of a large current on the inductor 42 and the switching device 43.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the diode D1, the resistors R1-R4, and the capacitors C1-C4 are used to optimize the circuit to ensure stable operation of the circuit, and the corresponding parameters can be adjusted according to actual needs.
Fig. 6 is an exemplary block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 6, the air conditioner 61 includes a power factor correction circuit 62 therein. The power factor correction circuit 62 is the power factor correction circuit according to any of the embodiments shown in fig. 5.
the present disclosure directly compares the voltage of the control signal with the sampling voltage, and directly controls the PFC circuit according to the voltage comparison result. According to the method and the device, the sampling information does not need to be processed through software, so that the response can be timely made under the condition that the PFC bus is over-current, and the PFC circuit can be effectively protected. In addition, even if the sampling voltage is wrong at a certain moment, the switching device in the PFC circuit is turned off, but the switching device in the PFC circuit can be turned on again at the next moment according to the correct sampling voltage, so that the error protection action is effectively eliminated.
the description of the present disclosure has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the disclosure in the form disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in this art. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the disclosure and the practical application, and to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the disclosure for various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
