- FIG. 2 is a waveform diagram when a load such as an incandescent light bulb that requires a large current at startup is connected to the power supply device. Further, FIG. 2 shows that in the initial state, the positive first limiter value is smaller than the positive second limiter value and the negative third limiter value is negative due to variations in circuit elements. It is a wave form diagram when larger than a 4th limiter value.
- the output terminals OUT1 and OUT2 of the power supply device are short-circuited. Accordingly, after time t1, in the first inverter 100, when the output current Iout reaches the first or third limiter value, the first switching elements Q11 to Q14 are turned off, and the maximum value of the output current Iout is the first value. It is limited to a limiter value of 1, and its minimum value is limited to a third limiter value.
- the output current Iout is limited by the first inverter 100 in this way, in the second inverter 200, the output current Iout does not reach the second and fourth limiter values. Even after time t1, the second switching elements Q21 to Q24 continue to perform the switching operation.
- the first control unit 17 has the output current Iout equal to or higher than a predetermined first specified current value, and the first DC voltage Vdc1 is equal to or higher than a predetermined first specified voltage value.
- the first limiter value is increased by a certain value and the third limiter value is decreased by a certain value.
- the first specified current value is larger than the rated current values of the first and second inverters and is not more than the first limiter value.
- the first control unit 17 increases the first limiter value by a certain value and decreases the third limiter value by a certain value.
- the first limiter value becomes larger than the second limiter value and the third limiter value becomes smaller than the fourth limiter value
- the first switching elements Q11 to Q14 start the switching operation again. Accordingly, when a current flows through the first switching element that is turned on, the first DC voltage Vdc1 on the primary side decreases in a shorter time than the time required for the increase, and returns to the initial voltage.
- the second switching elements Q21 to Q24 are turned off, and the maximum value of the output current Iout is the first value. It is limited to a limiter value of 2, and its minimum value is limited to a fourth limiter value.
- the second control unit 27 is in a state where the output current Iout is equal to or greater than a predetermined second specified current value and the second DC voltage Vdc2 is equal to or greater than a predetermined second specified voltage value.
- the second limiter value is increased by a fixed value and the fourth limiter value is decreased by a fixed value when the first specified time is continued.
- the second specified current value is larger than the rated current value and not more than the second limiter value.
- the second specified current value may be equal to the first specified current value.
- the first and second specified current values may be, for example, more than twice the rated current value.
- the second limiter value increases and the fourth limiter value decreases, the second limiter value again becomes larger than the first limiter value, and the fourth limiter value becomes smaller than the third limiter value. Since the second switching elements Q21 to Q24 start the switching operation again, the second DC voltage Vdc2 decreases in a short time.
- the first DC voltage Vdc1 does not reach the first overvoltage detection value
- the second DC voltage Vdc2 does not reach the second overvoltage detection value.
- the second protection circuits 18 and 28 stop the operation of the first and second inverters 100 and 200.
- the output current Iout decreases below the rated current and does not reach the first to fourth limiter values. That is, the short-circuit state between the output terminals OUT1 and OUT2 is eliminated, and the power supply device can continue to supply current to such a load through normal operation.
- the first and third limiter values are different and the second and fourth limiter values are different due to variations in circuit elements or environmental changes such as temperature changes and secular changes. Even in such a case, it is possible to drive a load that requires a large current at the start-up after preventing an excessive increase in the first and second DC voltages Vdc1 and Vdc2 on the primary side.
- the first control unit 17 determines that the state in which the output current Iout is equal to or greater than the first specified current value and the first DC voltage Vdc1 is less than the first specified voltage value.
- the first limiter value may be decreased by a certain value and the third limiter value may be increased by a certain value.
- the second control unit 27 determines that the state in which the output current Iout is equal to or greater than the second specified current value and the second DC voltage Vdc2 is less than the second specified voltage value is the second specified time.
- the second limiter value may be decreased by a certain value and the fourth limiter value may be increased by a certain value.
- the first and second limiter values do not continue to increase and the third and fourth limiter values do not continue to decrease during the short circuit state.
- the first control unit 17 decreases the first limiter value by a constant value when the state where the output current Iout is less than the first specified current value continues for a predetermined third specified time.
- the third limiter value may be increased by a certain value.
- the second control unit 27 decreases the second limiter value by a constant value and The limiter value may be increased by a certain value.
- the first and second limiter values become larger than the initial state values by driving a load that requires a large current at the time of startup, and the third and fourth limiter values are in the initial state. Even if the output current Iout is smaller than the first value, the normal operation in which the output current Iout is less than the first and second specified current values continues, thereby reducing the first and second limiter values to the lower limit value.
- the third and fourth limiter values can be increased to the upper limit value. Therefore, the range in which the first to fourth limiter values can be adjusted when driving a load that requires a large current at the time of startup again is expanded.
- the first to third specified times may be set to the same time or different times.
- the first or second protection circuit 18, 28 stops the operation of the first and second drive circuits 13, 23 when the short-circuit state continues for the short-circuit detection time. That is, in this case, similarly to the conventional power supply device, the operation of the power supply device itself can be stopped so that the output voltage Vout and the output current Iout are not output, so that safety can be ensured.
- the first and second limiter value setting units 15 and 25 and the first and second peak limiter circuits 16 and 26 described above may be configured as follows, for example.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the circuit configuration of the first and second limiter value setting units 15 and 25 and the first and second peak limiter circuits 16 and 26 of FIG.
- the first limiter value setting unit 15 includes a first PWM unit 15a and a first smoothing circuit 15b.
- the first PWM unit 15a generates first and third PWM signals S1 and S3 having a pulse width according to the control of the first control unit 17.
- the first PWM unit 15a can be configured using, for example, a microcomputer.
- the first smoothing circuit 15b smoothes the first PWM signal S1 with a low-pass filter including a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1, and generates a first reference voltage REF1 corresponding to the first limiter value.
- the first smoothing circuit 15b smoothes the third PWM signal S3 by a low-pass filter including a resistor R2 and a capacitor C2, and generates a third reference voltage REF3 corresponding to the third limiter value. .
- the first peak limiter circuit 16 includes a comparator 16a in which the first reference voltage REF1 is input to the non-inverting input terminal and the first detection voltage Vdet1 is input to the inverting input terminal, and a third reference voltage REF3. And a comparator 16b that is input to the inverting input terminal and to which the first detection voltage Vdet1 is input to the non-inverting input terminal.
- the output terminals of the comparators 16 a and 16 b are connected to the first drive circuit 13 and the first protection circuit 18.
- the comparators 16a and 16b allow the first peak limiter circuit 16 to output the output current Iout and the first and third limiters based on the first detection voltage Vdet1 and the first and third reference voltages REF1 and REF3. Determine the relationship with the value.
- the second limiter value setting unit 25 has a second PWM unit 25a and a second smoothing circuit 25b.
- the second PWM unit 25a generates second and fourth PWM signals S2 and S4 having a pulse width according to the control of the second control unit 27.
- the second PWM unit 25a can also be configured using, for example, a microcomputer.
- the second smoothing circuit 25b smoothes the second PWM signal S2 by a low-pass filter composed of a resistor R3 and a capacitor C3, and generates a second reference voltage REF2 corresponding to the second limiter value.
- the second smoothing circuit 25b smoothes the fourth PWM signal S4 with a low-pass filter including a resistor R4 and a capacitor C4, and generates a fourth reference voltage REF4 corresponding to the fourth limiter value. .
- the second peak limiter circuit 26 includes a comparator 26a in which the second reference voltage REF2 is input to the non-inverting input terminal and the second detection voltage Vdet2 is input to the inverting input terminal, and a fourth reference voltage REF4.
- a comparator 26b that is input to the inverting input terminal and to which the second detection voltage Vdet2 is input to the non-inverting input terminal.
- the output terminals of the comparators 26 a and 26 b are connected to the second drive circuit 23 and the second protection circuit 28.
- the comparators 26a and 26b allow the second peak limiter circuit 26 to output the output current Iout and the second and fourth limiters based on the second detection voltage Vdet2 and the second and fourth reference voltages REF2 and REF4. Determine the relationship with the value.
- Such a circuit configuration provides the same effect as the configuration of FIG.
- the first and second limiter value setting units 15 and 25 need only be able to generate the first to fourth reference voltages REF1 to REF4 according to the control of the first and second control units 17 and 27, and D A / A converter or the like may be used.
- first and second switching elements Q11 to Q14 and Q21 to Q24 other switching elements having a parasitic diode such as IGBT may be used.
