Description

具短路保護的橋式電路及其方法 Bridge circuit with short circuit protection and method thereof

本發明係為一種具短路保護的橋式電路及其方法,特別是關於一種的具短路保護的橋式電路及其方法。 The invention relates to a bridge circuit with short circuit protection and a method thereof, in particular to a bridge circuit with short circuit protection and a method thereof.

請參閱圖1A所繪示之變流器,在具有橋式逆變單元等變流器中,同一個橋臂上的切換開關K1~K12的短路保護為保護的核心。 因此,習知技術以每個橋臂上串一個電流感測器。然而,對具有多個橋臂的變流器而言,如圖1A所繪示之變流器需要6個電流感測器T1~T6,以感測每個橋臂上的切換開關K1~K12的電流。因此,製造成本將會增加,電路的體積也會增大,或是提高電路設計的複雜性。 Please refer to the converter shown in FIG. 1A. In a converter with a bridge inverter unit, the short circuit protection of the switch K1~K12 on the same bridge arm is the core of protection. Therefore, the prior art has a current sensor on each of the bridge arms. However, for a converter with multiple bridge arms, the converter shown in FIG. 1A requires six current sensors T1~T6 to sense the switch K1~K12 on each bridge arm. Current. As a result, manufacturing costs will increase, the size of the circuit will increase, or the complexity of the circuit design will increase.

另一種簡化的方法則是在直流母線上串一個電流互感器來偵測後端耦接的橋式電路的總電流,如圖1B中的全橋式逆變器。於此方法中,若電流互感器採用變壓器型互感器,則會因增加線路電感而造成橋臂兩端的電壓高頻波動增加,且該變壓器型互感器存在不易解決的復位問題。若電流互感器採用霍爾感測器,則成本過高。 Another simplified method is to string a current transformer on the DC bus to detect the total current of the back-coupled bridge circuit, such as the full-bridge inverter in Figure 1B. In this method, if the current transformer adopts a transformer type transformer, the high frequency fluctuation of the voltage across the bridge arm is increased due to the increase of the line inductance, and the transformer type transformer has an unresolved reset problem. If the current transformer uses a Hall sensor, the cost is too high.

本實施例在於提供一種具短路保護的橋式電路及其方法,其中本實施例透過偵測小容量的高頻電容的電流變化,以判斷橋式逆變單元是否處於短路狀態,藉此降低電路的體積與成本,並提升橋式電路的短路保護等功效。 The embodiment provides a bridge circuit with short circuit protection and a method thereof.

Please refer to Figure 2. A bridge circuit 1 with short circuit protection includes an input power source 10, a conversion unit 12, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a detecting unit 14, and a bridge inverter unit 16. In practice, the conversion unit 12 is coupled to the input power source 10, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the detecting unit 14, and a bridge inverter unit 16. The first capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the conversion unit 12, the second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the first capacitor C1, and the second capacitor C2 is connected in series with the detecting unit 14. The bridge inverter unit 16 is coupled to the conversion unit 12, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the detecting unit 14, and the load 9. The control unit 18 is coupled to the switch 160 of the bridge inverter unit 16.

簡單來說,於橋式逆變單元16的切換開關160處於正常運作狀態下,流經第一電容C1的電流ic1與流經第二電容C2的電流ic2的總和,為流經直流母線上的電流id2與id1之差值(ic1+ic2=id2-id1)。正常穩定狀態下,即輸入電壓、負載及控制穩定下,忽略第一電容C1和第二電容C2的損耗,直流母線電壓穩定,則電流ic1和電流ic2的平均電流為零。但電流ic1和電流ic2上還存在開關頻率的充放電紋波電流,該電流仍然取決於 ic1+ic2=id2-id1,這個值很小,且第二電容C2的電容值遠小於第一電容C1的電容值,故電流ic2的紋波電流幾乎可以忽略且電流ic2為零。另於橋式逆變單元16的切換開關160處於異常運作狀態下,例如短路狀態下電流id2迅速增加,而瞬間之電流id1不變。 因此流經第一及第二電容C1、C2的電流ic1、ic2會隨id2迅速增加而增加。實際應用時,第一電容C1為大容量電解電容。第二電容C2根據切換開關160所允許的最大電流(im)、光耦合器的閥值電流(iop)及第一電容C1來選擇第二電容C2的電容值,(C2=iop*C1/(im-id1-iop))。第二電容C2的電容值遠小於第一電容C1的電容值。所以,流經第二電容C2的電流ic2遠小於流經第一電容C1的電流ic1。因此,本實施例透過偵測單元14以偵測流經第二電容C2的微小的電流ic2變化,以偵測出短路訊號。 Briefly, when the switch 160 of the bridge inverter unit 16 is in a normal operating state, the sum of the current ic1 flowing through the first capacitor C1 and the current ic2 flowing through the second capacitor C2 is flowing through the DC bus. The difference between current id2 and id1 (ic1+ic2=id2-id1). Under normal steady state, that is, the input voltage, load and control are stable, the losses of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are ignored, and the DC bus voltage is stable, and the average current of the current ic1 and the current ic2 is zero. However, there are charging and discharging ripple currents at the switching frequency on the currents ic1 and ic2, and the current still depends on Ic1+ic2=id2-id1, this value is small, and the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2 is much smaller than the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1, so the ripple current of the current ic2 is almost negligible and the current ic2 is zero. In addition, the switching switch 160 of the bridge type inverter unit 16 is in an abnormal operating state, for example, the current id2 rapidly increases in the short-circuit state, and the instantaneous current id1 does not change. Therefore, the currents ic1, ic2 flowing through the first and second capacitors C1, C2 increase as the id2 increases rapidly. In practical applications, the first capacitor C1 is a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor. The second capacitor C2 selects the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2 according to the maximum current (im) allowed by the switch 160, the threshold current (iop) of the photocoupler, and the first capacitor C1 (C2=iop*C1/( Im-id1-iop)). The capacitance value of the second capacitor C2 is much smaller than the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1. Therefore, the current ic2 flowing through the second capacitor C2 is much smaller than the current ic1 flowing through the first capacitor C1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the detecting unit 14 detects a small current ic2 flowing through the second capacitor C2 to detect the short circuit signal.

輸入電源10具有一第一極與一第二極。在實務上,輸入電源10例如為輸入直流電源,其中例如透過交流電源轉換輸入直流電源。第一極例如為陽極+,第二極例如為陰極-。在其他實施例中,第一極例如為陰極,第二極例如為陽極,本實施例不限制輸入電源10、第一極與第二極的態樣。另輸入電源10例如透過濾波電路或/及整流電路,以輸出直流電源。例如為交流電源的波形濾波或/及整流後以供轉換單元12使用的輸入直流電源,此輸入電源10為全波的脈動直流。 The input power source 10 has a first pole and a second pole. In practice, the input power source 10 is, for example, an input DC power source, wherein the input DC power source is converted, for example, via an AC power source. The first pole is for example the anode + and the second pole is for example the cathode. In other embodiments, the first pole is, for example, a cathode, and the second pole is, for example, an anode. This embodiment does not limit the input power source 10, the first pole and the second pole. The input power source 10 is, for example, transmitted through a filter circuit or/and a rectifier circuit to output a DC power source. For example, the waveform of the AC power source is filtered or/and the input DC power source used for the conversion unit 12 after rectification, and the input power source 10 is a full-wave pulsed DC.

轉換單元12耦接輸入電源10。在實務上,轉換單元12例如為升壓電路。為了方便說明,本實施例之轉換單元12以一升壓電路來說明。在其他實施例中,轉換單元12例如為一降壓電路或一升降壓電路,本實施例不限制轉換單元12的態樣。另所屬技術領域具有通常知識者應知道升壓電路、降壓電路或升降壓電路的運作,在此不予贅述。 The conversion unit 12 is coupled to the input power source 10. In practice, the conversion unit 12 is, for example, a booster circuit. For convenience of explanation, the conversion unit 12 of the present embodiment is illustrated by a booster circuit. In other embodiments, the conversion unit 12 is, for example, a step-down circuit or a step-up and step-down circuit. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the conversion unit 12. Those skilled in the art should know the operation of the booster circuit, the step-down circuit or the buck-boost circuit, and will not be described here.

第一電容C1具有第一端C101及第二端C102。第一電容C1的第一端C101耦接轉換單元12,第一電容C1的第二端C102耦 接輸入電源10的第二極。在實務上,第一電容C1的第一端C101耦接直流母線的陽極,第一電容C1的第二端C102耦接直流母線的陰極。其中第一電容C1屬大容量的電解電容。因此,第一電容C1的電容量可視為等同於輸入電源10,本實施例不限制第一電容C1的態樣。 The first capacitor C1 has a first end C101 and a second end C102. The first end C101 of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the conversion unit 12, and the second end C102 of the first capacitor C1 is coupled. The second pole of the input power source 10 is connected. In practice, the first end C101 of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the anode of the DC bus, and the second end C102 of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the cathode of the DC bus. The first capacitor C1 is a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor. Therefore, the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 can be regarded as equivalent to the input power source 10, and the embodiment does not limit the aspect of the first capacitor C1.

第二電容C2具有第一端C201及第二端C202。第二電容C2的第一端C201耦接第一電容C1的第一端C101。在實務上,第一電容C1的電容值遠大於第二電容C2的電容值。第二電容C2屬小容量的高頻電容。本實施例不限制第二電容C2的態樣。 The second capacitor C2 has a first end C201 and a second end C202. The first end C201 of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first end C101 of the first capacitor C1. In practice, the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 is much larger than the capacitance of the second capacitor C2. The second capacitor C2 is a small-capacity high-frequency capacitor. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the second capacitor C2.

偵測單元14耦接第二電容C2的第二端C202。在實務上,偵測單元14例如包括二極體、光耦合器、工作電壓源及電阻所構成的電路來實現,本實施例不限制偵測單元14的態樣。偵測單元14用以偵測第二電容C2的電流變化,且偵測單元14根據此電流變化,以輸出一正常訊號或一短路訊號給控制單元18。 The detecting unit 14 is coupled to the second end C202 of the second capacitor C2. In practice, the detecting unit 14 is implemented by, for example, a circuit composed of a diode, an optocoupler, an operating voltage source, and a resistor. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the detecting unit 14. The detecting unit 14 is configured to detect a current change of the second capacitor C2, and the detecting unit 14 outputs a normal signal or a short circuit signal to the control unit 18 according to the current change.

橋式逆變單元16具有複數個切換開關160,並耦接轉換單元12、第一電容C1、第二電容C2、偵測單元14及第二極。在實務上,橋式逆變單元16為一單相橋式逆變器或一三相橋式逆變器。 其中橋式逆變單元16可透過一半橋式逆變器或一全橋式逆變器來實現。橋式逆變單元16用以將輸入電源10轉換為一交流電,以輸出交流電壓給一負載9使用,本實施例不限制偵測單元14的態樣。另切換開關160例如為金氧半場效電晶體(MOSFET)或功率電晶體,本實施例不限制切換開關160的態樣。 The bridge type inverter unit 16 has a plurality of switch switches 160 and is coupled to the conversion unit 12, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the detecting unit 14, and the second pole. In practice, the bridge inverter unit 16 is a single-phase bridge inverter or a three-phase bridge inverter. The bridge inverter unit 16 can be realized by a half bridge inverter or a full bridge inverter. The bridge type inverter unit 16 is configured to convert the input power source 10 into an alternating current to output an alternating voltage to a load 9. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the detecting unit 14. The other switch 160 is, for example, a gold oxide half field effect transistor (MOSFET) or a power transistor. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the switch 160.

舉例來說,在具有橋臂電路的橋式逆變單元16中,橋式逆變單元16並聯一個小容量的第二電容C2,且由一偵測單元14以偵測第二電容C2上的放電電流。當在第二電容C2上的放電電流達到一電流值時。其中此電流值表示橋式逆變單元16產生短路電流。所以,偵測單元14偵測出這電流變化時,偵測單元14輸出短路訊號給控制單元18。 For example, in the bridge inverter unit 16 having the bridge arm circuit, the bridge inverter unit 16 is connected in parallel with a small capacity second capacitor C2, and a detecting unit 14 detects the second capacitor C2. Discharge current. When the discharge current on the second capacitor C2 reaches a current value. The current value indicates that the bridge inverter unit 16 generates a short circuit current. Therefore, when the detecting unit 14 detects the current change, the detecting unit 14 outputs a short circuit signal to the control unit 18.

進一步來說,當橋式逆變單元16出現短路現象時,流經直流母線的電流id2會迅速增加,而流經直流母線的電流id1瞬間不變。其中流經第一及第二電容C1、C2的電流ic1、ic2總和會等於直流母線上的電流id2-id1的差值。所以根據下列公式:ic1+ic2=id2-id1與ic2=(id2-id1)*C2/(C1+C2)可知,流經第二電容C2的電流ic2佔短路現象时的直流母線上電流id2-id1的很小一部分。因此,本實施例採用偵測第二電容的微小的電流變化的電路設計。如此一來,所需偵測的電流器件的容量就是遠小於直流母線上所需電流感測器容量。 Further, when the bridge inverter unit 16 is short-circuited, the current id2 flowing through the DC bus will increase rapidly, and the current id1 flowing through the DC bus will not change instantaneously. The sum of the currents ic1, ic2 flowing through the first and second capacitors C1, C2 is equal to the difference of the current id2-id1 on the DC bus. Therefore, according to the following formula: ic1+ic2=id2-id1 and ic2=(id2-id1)*C2/(C1+C2), the current ic2 flowing through the second capacitor C2 accounts for the DC bus current id2- during the short circuit phenomenon. A small part of id1. Therefore, this embodiment employs a circuit design that detects a small current change of the second capacitor. As a result, the capacity of the current device to be detected is much smaller than the current sensor capacity required on the DC bus.

只外,若本實施例設計合理的第二電容C2。甚至,只需在第二電容C2的第二端C202串聯一個貼片電阻,並偵測上述貼片電阻的電壓變化,就可以偵測出橋臂短路時的電流變化。其中於偵測單元14偵測出流經第二電容C2的一電流變化時,偵測單元14輸出一短路訊號給一控制單元18。如此一來,本實施例可降低電路的體積,且可精準偵測到短路訊號。 Only if this embodiment is designed with a reasonable second capacitor C2. Even if only one chip resistor is connected in series at the second end C202 of the second capacitor C2, and the voltage change of the chip resistor is detected, the current change when the bridge arm is short-circuited can be detected.

Please refer to Figure 3. In detail, the detecting unit 14a includes a first diode D1, an opto-coupler U1, a resistor R, and an operating voltage source VCC. The anode of the first diode D1 is coupled to the second end C202 of the second capacitor C2, and the cathode of the first diode D1 is coupled to the second pole. The photocoupler U1 is coupled to the first diode D1, a ground terminal, and a resistor R. The resistor R is coupled to the operating voltage source VCC. The current change is that the optocoupler U1 receives a preset current, and the optocoupler U1 is turned on according to the preset current, so that the node between the resistor R and the photocoupler U1 generates a low logic potential.

進一步來說,光耦合器U1的型號例如為HCPL2602,本實施例不限制光耦合器U1的態樣。光耦合器U1包括一第一感應元件U11與一第二感應元件U12,其中第二感應元件U12以光耦合方 式耦接於第一感應元件U11,第一感應元件U11耦接第一二極體D1,第一感應元件U11例如為光耦內發光二極體。另光耦合器U1的閥值電流例如為流經第一感應元件U11的閥值電流iop。此閥值電流iop很小,例如為幾個毫安培(mA),本實施例不限制閥值電流iop的大小。 Further, the model of the optical coupler U1 is, for example, HCPL 2602, and the embodiment does not limit the aspect of the optical coupler U1. The optical coupler U1 includes a first sensing element U11 and a second sensing element U12, wherein the second sensing element U12 is coupled by light. The first sensing element U11 is coupled to the first diode D1, and the first sensing element U11 is, for example, an optical coupling inner LED. The threshold current of the other photocoupler U1 is, for example, a threshold current iop flowing through the first inductive element U11. This threshold current iop is small, for example several milliamperes (mA), and this embodiment does not limit the magnitude of the threshold current iop.

光耦內發光二極體的陽極耦接第一二極體D1的陰極,光耦內發光二極體的陰極耦接第一二極體D1的陽極。第二感應元件U12耦接電阻R及接地端,其中第一感應元件U11例如為一光發射器,第二感應元件U12例如為一光偵測器。預設電流流經第一感應元件U11,以使第一感應元件U11產生一光耦訊號給第二感應元件U12。第二感應元件U12根據光耦訊號而導通,以使接地端電性連接電阻R。 The anode of the light-emitting diode is coupled to the cathode of the first diode D1, and the cathode of the light-emitting diode is coupled to the anode of the first diode D1. The second inductive component U12 is coupled to the resistor R and the ground. The first inductive component U11 is, for example, a light emitter, and the second inductive component U12 is, for example, a photodetector. The preset current flows through the first inductive element U11 to cause the first inductive element U11 to generate an optocoupler signal to the second inductive element U12. The second sensing element U12 is turned on according to the photocoupler signal, so that the ground terminal is electrically connected to the resistor R.

光耦合器U1截止時,第一感應元件U11及第二感應元件U12均處於截止狀態。所以,工作電壓源VCC無法耦接至接地端。因此,光耦合器U1與電阻R之間的節點將產生一高邏輯電位,而此高邏輯電位由工作電壓源VCC與電阻R所照成的電位。所以,自上述節點將輸出的高邏輯電位的訊號,或是於上述節點可偵測出的高邏輯電位的訊號,屬指示橋式逆變單元16a處於正常狀態的訊號。 When the photocoupler U1 is turned off, the first inductive element U11 and the second inductive element U12 are both in an off state. Therefore, the working voltage source VCC cannot be coupled to the ground. Therefore, the node between the optocoupler U1 and the resistor R will generate a high logic potential which is the potential of the operating voltage source VCC and the resistor R. Therefore, the signal of the high logic potential to be outputted from the node or the signal of the high logic potential detectable by the node is a signal indicating that the bridge inverter unit 16a is in a normal state.

反之,光耦合器U1導通時,第一感應元件U11及第二感應元件U12均處於導通狀態,工作電壓源VCC耦接至接地端。因此,光耦合器U1與電阻R之間的節點將產生一低邏輯電位,而此低邏輯電位由工作電壓源VCC、電阻R與接地端所照成的電位。所以,自上述節點將輸出的低邏輯電位的訊號,或是於上述節點可偵測出的低邏輯電位的訊號,係屬指示橋式逆變單元16a處於異常狀態的短路訊號。 On the other hand, when the photocoupler U1 is turned on, the first sensing element U11 and the second sensing element U12 are both in an on state, and the working voltage source VCC is coupled to the ground. Therefore, the node between the optocoupler U1 and the resistor R will generate a low logic potential which is the potential of the operating voltage source VCC, the resistor R and the ground terminal. Therefore, the signal of the low logic potential outputted from the node or the signal of the low logic potential detectable by the node is a short circuit signal indicating that the bridge inverter unit 16a is in an abnormal state.

圖4A為本發明另一實施例之具短路保護的橋式電路之電壓波形圖。圖4B為根據圖4A之本發明另一實施例之具短路保護的橋式電路之電壓波形的局部放大圖。請參閱圖4A與圖4B。圖4A所繪示一直流母線電壓波形Vbus(50V/div)、一短路訊號電壓波形Vsc(1V/div)、一橋式逆變單元16a的橋臂短路時的電流波形Isc(50A/div),以及一控制單元發送出控制訊號波形K1PWM(1V/div)。 4A is a voltage waveform diagram of a bridge circuit with short circuit protection according to another embodiment of the present invention. 4B is a partial enlarged view of a voltage waveform of a bridge circuit with short circuit protection according to another embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 4A. Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B. 4A shows a current waveform of a bus bar voltage waveform V bus (50 V/div), a short-circuit signal voltage waveform Vsc (1 V/div), and a bridge arm of a bridge inverter unit 16a, which is a current waveform Isc (50 A/div). And a control unit sends out the control signal waveform K1PWM (1V/div).

接下來,圖4B所繪示一直流母線電壓波形Vbus、一短路訊號電壓波形Vsc、一橋式逆變單元16a的橋臂短路時的電流波形Isc,以及一控制單元發送出控制訊號波形K1PWM。而圖4B為本實施之具短路保護的橋式電路之短路保護動作瞬間局部放大圖。其中,此試驗監測了切換開關K1的控制訊號波形,這控制訊號例如為脈衝寬度調變訊號(PWM)。如圖4B所繪示,當橋式逆變單元16的橋臂短路時,橋臂短路時的電流達到75A時,短路訊號從5V的高邏輯電位降到低邏輯電位。此時間,控制單元停止發出控制訊號給切換開關K1。本實施例不限制具短路保護的橋式電路1之電壓波形的態樣。 Next, FIG. 4B illustrates the current bus voltage waveform Vbus , a short circuit voltage waveform Vsc, the current waveform Isc when the bridge arm of the bridge inverter unit 16a is short-circuited, and a control unit sends the control signal waveform K1PWM. 4B is an enlarged partial enlarged view of the short circuit protection action of the short circuit protection bridge circuit of the present embodiment.

At this time, the control unit stops issuing the control signal to the switch K1. This embodiment does not limit the aspect of the voltage waveform of the bridge circuit 1 with short circuit protection.

圖5為本發明另一實施例之橋臂短路保護方法之流程圖。請參閱圖5。一種短路保護方法,適用於上述具短路保護的橋式電路,包括下列步驟:於步驟S501中,偵測單元判斷是否偵測到流經第二電容的一電流變化。在實務上,流經第一電容的電流會遠大於流經第二電容的電流。其中橋式逆變單元發生故障時,例如導通或截止的切換開關的運作異常時,流經第一電容的電流及流經第二電容的電流都會增加。因此,流經直流母線上的電流將會增加。所以,偵 測單元可偵測第二電容的微小電流變化。若步驟S501的判斷結果為否時,則偵測單元持續偵測流經第二電容的電流變化。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for protecting a bridge arm short circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 5. A short circuit protection method is applicable to the above-mentioned short circuit protection bridge circuit, comprising the following steps: In step S501, the detecting unit determines whether a current change flowing through the second capacitor is detected. In practice, the current flowing through the first capacitor will be much larger than the current flowing through the second capacitor. When the bridge inverter unit fails, for example, when the operation of the switch that is turned on or off is abnormal, the current flowing through the first capacitor and the current flowing through the second capacitor are increased. Therefore, the current flowing through the DC bus will increase. So, detect The measuring unit can detect a small current change of the second capacitor. If the result of the determination in step S501 is no, the detecting unit continuously detects the current change flowing through the second capacitor.

若步驟S501的判斷結果為是時,則進行步驟S503。於步驟S503中,偵測單元的一光耦合器判斷是否接收到一預設電流。在實務上,流經第二電容的電流增加時,偵測單元的光耦合器將進一步判斷是否接收到一預設電流。其中流經光耦合器的第一感應元件的電流達到預設電流時,第一感應元件將導通並產生光耦訊號給第二感應元件,而第二感應元件接收到光耦訊號而導通。 If the result of the determination in step S501 is YES, then step S503 is performed. In step S503, an optical coupler of the detecting unit determines whether a preset current is received. In practice, when the current flowing through the second capacitor increases, the photocoupler of the detecting unit further determines whether a preset current is received. When the current flowing through the first inductive component of the optocoupler reaches a preset current, the first inductive component will be turned on and generate an optocoupler signal to the second inductive component, and the second inductive component receives the optocoupler signal and is turned on.

所以,於步驟S505中,光耦合器導通,以使一耦接光耦合器的電阻產生一短路訊號。在實務上,光耦合器截止時,工作電源源無法耦接至接地端。因此,光耦合器與電阻之間的節點將產生一高邏輯電位。而此高邏輯電位例如為5伏特的工作電壓。所以,自上述節點將輸出例如為高邏輯電位的訊號,或是於上述節點可偵測出例如為高邏輯電位的訊號。其中高邏輯電位的訊號為本實施例之正常訊號。 Therefore, in step S505, the photocoupler is turned on to generate a short circuit signal for the resistance of a coupling photocoupler. In practice, when the optocoupler is turned off, the working power source cannot be coupled to the ground. Therefore, the node between the optocoupler and the resistor will produce a high logic potential. This high logic potential is, for example, an operating voltage of 5 volts. Therefore, a signal such as a high logic potential will be output from the above node, or a signal such as a high logic potential can be detected at the above node. The signal of high logic potential is the normal signal of the embodiment.

反之,光耦合器導通時,工作電源源耦接至接地端。因此,光耦合器與電阻之間的節點將產生一低邏輯電位,而此低邏輯電位例如為0伏特。所以,自上述節點將輸出例如為低邏輯電位的訊號,或是於上述節點可偵測出例如為低邏輯電位的訊號。其中低邏輯電位的訊號為本實施例之短路訊號。 Conversely, when the optocoupler is turned on, the working power source is coupled to the ground. Thus, the node between the optocoupler and the resistor will produce a low logic potential, which is, for example, 0 volts. Therefore, a signal such as a low logic potential will be output from the above node, or a signal such as a low logic potential can be detected at the above node. The low logic potential signal is the short circuit signal of the embodiment.

之後,於步驟S507中,偵測單元輸出一短路訊號給一控制單元。在實務上,當上述節點將輸出例如為低邏輯電位的訊號時,此低邏輯電位的訊號為短路訊號。因此,控制單元接收到這短路訊號,則控制單元將控制橋式逆變單元以停止運作,藉此保護橋式逆變單元中的這些切換開關,以及安全供電給耦接橋式逆變單元的後端電器設備。 Then, in step S507, the detecting unit outputs a short circuit signal to a control unit. In practice, when the above node will output a signal such as a low logic potential, the signal of the low logic potential is a short circuit signal. Therefore, when the control unit receives the short circuit signal, the control unit will control the bridge type inverter unit to stop operating, thereby protecting the switch switches in the bridge type inverter unit and safely supplying power to the coupled bridge type inverter unit. Back-end electrical equipment.

綜上所述,本發明之具短路保護的橋式電路透過偵測小容量的第二電容的電流變化,以判斷橋式逆變單元是否處於短路狀 態,其中,於光耦合器的第一感應元件接收到預設電流時,第一感應元件將產生光耦訊號給第二感應元件,以使第二感應元件導通電阻與接地端之間的通路,因此,於第二感應元件與電阻之間的節點將產生一低邏輯電位的短路訊號給控制單元,藉此達到橋臂電路的短路保護、降低電路的體積,並提升橋式電路的短路保護等功效。如此一來,本發明確實可提升具短路保護的橋式電路的使用方便性。 In summary, the short circuit protection bridge circuit of the present invention detects the bridge inverter unit in a short circuit by detecting the current change of the small capacity second capacitor. The first sensing component generates an optocoupler signal to the second inductive component when the first inductive component of the optocoupler receives the predetermined current, so that the second inductive component conducts a path between the resistor and the ground. Therefore, the node between the second sensing element and the resistor will generate a short circuit signal with a low logic potential to the control unit, thereby achieving short circuit protection of the bridge arm circuit, reducing the volume of the circuit, and improving the short circuit protection of the bridge circuit. And other effects. In this way, the present invention can indeed improve the usability of the bridge circuit with short circuit protection.
