When the inductance of the motor itself does not meet the ripple requirements, staggered phase control of the controller may be adopted for control, and the staggered angle=360/a number of phases of the motor. For example, three phases are staggered by the phase control of about 120°. In this way, positive and negative ripples of the three-phase coils are superimposed on each other to cancel each other, so that the total ripple may be greatly reduced. For example, two phases are staggered by the phase control of about 180°. In this way, positive and negative ripples of the two-phase coils are superimposed on each other to cancel each other, so that the total ripple may be greatly reduced.
When the reversible PWM rectifier 102 includes three-phase bridge arms, the control mode for the three-phase bridge arms may be any one or a combination of the following. For example, any bridge arm or any two bridge arms in the phase A, phase B, and phase C may be realized, and three bridge arms have a total of 7 controlled heating methods, which is flexible and simple. The switching of the bridge arms can be beneficial to realize choices of large, medium, and small heating power. 1. Any phase bridge arm power switch may be selected for control, and the three-phase bridge arms may be switched in turn. For example, the phase A bridge arm first operates alone and controls a first power switch unit and a second power switch unit to perform heating for a period of time, then the phase B bridge arm operates alone and controls a third power switch unit and a fourth power switch unit to perform heating for the same period of time, then the phase C bridge arm operates alone and controls a fifth power switch unit and a sixth power switch unit to perform heating for the same period of time, and then the phase C bridge arm is switched to the phase A bridge arm to operate. In this cycle, the three-phase inverter and the three-phase coils are alternately energized and heated. 2. Any two-phase bridge arm power switch may be selected for control, and the three-phase bridge arms may be switched in turn. For example, the phase A bridge arm and the phase B bridge arm operate first to control the first power switch unit, the second power switch unit, the third power switch unit, and the fourth power switch unit to perform heating for a period of time, then the phase B bridge arm and the phase C bridge arm operate to control the third power switch unit, the fourth power switch unit, the fifth power switch unit, and the sixth power switch unit to perform heating for the same period of time, and then the phase C bridge arm and the phase A bridge arm operate to control the fifth power switch unit, the second power switch unit, the first power switch unit, and the sixth power switch unit to perform heating for the same period of time. Then the phase A bridge arm and the phase B bridge arm operate. By means of the cycle, the three-phase inverter is implemented. 3. Preferably, the three-phase bridge arm power switch may be selected for simultaneous control, that is, the three-phase upper bridge arms are simultaneously turned on, and the three-phase lower bridge arms are simultaneously turned off, the three-phase upper bridge arms are simultaneously turned off, and the three-phase lower bridge arms are simultaneously turned on. At this point, the three-phase power bridge arm is equivalent to a single DC/DC, and because the three-phase circuit is theoretically balanced, the three-phase current is balanced. In this way, the three-phase inverter and the three-phase coils are heated evenly, and the three-phase current is basically DC. The average value is basically the same, and due to the symmetry of the three phase windings, the three-phase composite magnetomotive force inside the motor is basically zero at this point, the stator magnetic field is basically zero, and the motor produces basically no torque, which is conducive to greatly reducing the stress of the transmission system.
In an implementation, the energy conversion device includes an inductor. One end of the inductor is connected with the neutral line, and another end of the inductor is connected with a first end of the one-way conduction module 104 and a first end of the capacitor 110.
As shown in
The energy conversion device causes, according to an external control signal, the third discharging circuit to periodically operate in a first operating stage, a second operating stage, and a third operating stage.
In the first operating stage, electric energy of the external battery 101 passes through the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, the inductor 112, and the capacitor 110 and then flows back to the external battery 101.

The difference between the implementation of the present invention and the above implementation is as follows. The energy conversion device further includes the inductor 112. The inductor 112 and the capacitor 110 form an LC resonance module. The capacitor 110 may include a plurality of capacitors, and the capacitors are connected in series with the inductor. The inductor 112 and the capacitor 110 are connected in series to achieve the LC oscillation. For example, the voltage of the capacitor 110 gradually increases within a period of time, while the current of the inductor 112 gradually decreases. Within another period of time, the voltage of the capacitor 110 gradually decreases, while the current of the inductor 112 gradually increases, thereby implementing the energy storage in the inductor 112 or the capacitor 110.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an LC resonance module is disposed in the energy conversion device, so that a resonance circuit is formed by the LC resonance module and the power battery 101 module, the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, the one-way conduction module 104, and the external DC port 105. The LC resonance module includes an inductor 112 and a capacitor 110 module, and forms an LC oscillation by using the motor coil 103, the inductor 112, and the capacitor 110 module in the resonance circuit. When the external DC port 105 is connected with the DC electric device, the external battery 101 can boost and discharge the DC electric device through the resonance circuit.
In an implementation, when the external DC port 105 is connected with the DC electric device, a fourth discharging circuit is formed by the external battery 101 with the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, the capacitor 110, and the one-way conduction module 104 in the energy conversion device, and the DC electric device.
The energy conversion device causes, according to an external control signal, the fourth discharging circuit to periodically operate in a first operating stage, a second operating stage, and a third operating stage.
In the first operating stage, electric energy of the external battery 101 passes through the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, and the capacitor 110 and then flows back to the external battery 101.
In the second operating stage, a loop current is formed by the motor coil 103, the capacitor 110, and the reversible PWM rectifier 102, and electric energy outputted by the motor coil 103 passes through the one-way conduction module 104, the DC electric device, and the reversible PWM rectifier 102 and then flows back to the motor coil 103.
In the third operating stage, the electric energy outputted by the capacitor 110 passes through the motor coil 103 and the reversible PWM rectifier 102 and then flows back to the capacitor 110.
The difference between this implementation and the above-mentioned implementations is that the motor coil 103 and the capacitor 110 form an LC resonance module, and the motor coil 103 and the capacitor 110 module in the resonance circuit form an LC oscillation. When the external DC port 105 is connected with the electric device, the external battery 101 may boost and discharge the DC electric device through the resonance circuit.

The energy conversion device causes, according to an external control signal, the fifth discharging circuit to periodically operate in a first operating stage and a second operating stage.
In the first operating stage, electric energy of the external battery 101 passes through the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, the inductor 112, the capacitor 110, and the DC electric device and then flows back to the external battery 101.
In the second operating stage, the electric energy outputted by the motor coil 103 and the inductor passes through the inductor 112, the first switching device 107, the DC electric device, and the reversible PWM rectifier 102 and then flows back to the motor coil 103.
According to this implementation, in the first operating stage, the electric energy of the external battery 101 stores energy in the motor coil 103 and the inductor 112 through the reversible PWM rectifier 102, the motor coil 103, the capacitor 110, and the DC electric device. In the second operating stage, the electrical energy outputted by the motor coil 103 and the inductor 112 passes through the first switching device 107, the DC electric device, and the reversible PWM rectifier 102 to perform energy storage release on the DC electric device. The discharge of the DC electric device is implemented by alternating the first operating stage and the second operating stage.
In an implementation, a first switching module and a first energy storage module are disposed between the external battery 101 and the energy conversion device. A positive electrode end of the battery 101 is connected with a first end of the first switching module, and a negative electrode end of the battery 101 is connected with a second end of the first switching module. A third end of the first switching module is connected with a first end of the first energy storage module, and a fourth end of the first switching module is connected with a second end of the first energy storage module.
The first switching module is located between the battery 101 and the first energy storage module, and the first switching module may connect the battery 101 with the first energy storage module or disconnect the battery from the first energy storage module according to the control signal, so that the battery 101 can be connected with or disconnected from the reversible PWM rectifier 102. The first energy storage module may be an energy storage device such as a capacitor 110. When the first switching module is turned on, the battery 101 pre-charges the first energy storage module by using the first switching module until the first energy storage module is fully charged.

The first switching module is disposed between the external battery 101 and the energy conversion device, and the battery 101 can be connected with or disconnected from other modules of the energy conversion device by controlling the first switching module. By disposing the first energy storage module, the first energy storage module is connected in parallel with the battery 101 by using the first switching module, which may play a filtering role. Since the first energy storage module has the function of charging and discharging, when the voltage of the battery 101 fluctuates, the charging and discharging of the first energy storage module may reduce the fluctuation of the voltage of the power battery 101.
For the first switching module, in a first implementation, the first switching module includes a first switch and a third switch. A first end of the first switch is the first end of the first switching module, and a second end of the first switch is the third end of the first switching module.

By controlling the first switch and the third switch, the battery 101 can charge the first energy storage module, and the battery 101 may be controlled to be connected with or disconnected from other modules of the energy conversion device.
For the first switching module, in a second implementation, the first switching module includes only the first switch or the third switch described above.
Compared with the afore-mentioned first implementation, one switch is reduced in this implementation. Since the first switch and the third switch are connected between the battery 101 and the first energy storage module in the above implementation, the same function may also be implemented by using one switch.
The technical effects of this implementation are as follows. One switch is further disposed in the first switching module to simplify the circuit structure.
For the first switching module, in a third implementation, the first switching module includes a first switch, a second switch, a resistor, and a third switch.

Embodiment II of the present invention provides a discharging method. Based on the energy conversion device of Embodiment I, the discharging method includes the following steps.
Step S10: Acquiring a connection status of a DC port 105.
In step S10, the connection status refers to whether the DC port 105 is connected with an external device, and the DC port 105 is connected with a voltage collection module. When the DC port 105 is connected with a power module, the voltage collection module collects the voltage of the power module, and a change in the connection status is determined according to a change in the voltage on the voltage collection module.
Step S20: When the DC port 105 is connected with the power module and it is detected that the power module satisfies the discharging condition, the reversible PWM rectifier 102 is controlled to cause the energy conversion device to discharge the power module.
In step S20, it is determined, according to the change in the collected voltage, that the DC port 105 module is connected with the power module, and then it is determined, according to the collected voltage, whether the power module satisfies the discharging condition. The discharging condition may be an acquired voltage range of the rechargeable battery 101. When the discharging condition is satisfied, a DC charging and discharging circuit may be formed by the reversible PWM rectifier 102 according to the external control signal, so that the energy conversion device discharges the DC electric device.
Embodiment II of the present invention provides technical effects of a discharging method as follows. The reversible PWM rectifier 102 and the motor coil 103 are disposed in the energy conversion device to form a DC charging and discharging circuit with the external battery 101. The external discharging is performed by using the DC charging and discharging circuit, so that the electric device is discharged when the power of the external battery 101 is relatively high. In addition, the DC charging and discharging circuit adopts the reversible PWM rectifier 102 and the motor coil 103, thereby implementing the function of DC charging and discharging by using a simple circuit structure.
In an implementation, the detecting that the power module satisfies the discharging condition includes:
acquiring an output voltage range of the battery 101, collecting a voltage of the power module, and
determining whether the voltage of the power module is within the output voltage range, if so, determining that the power module satisfies the discharging condition, and if not, determining that the power module does not satisfy the DC discharging condition.
In the above steps, the output voltage range of the battery 101 may be acquired in the following manners. The battery 101 is connected with an energy storage module, and the energy storage module is pre-charged by the battery 101 before the battery 101 is discharged. The battery 101 manager is configured to detect the voltage of the energy storage module to detect the output voltage range of the battery 101, and then determine, depending on whether the collected voltage is within the output voltage range, whether the power module satisfies the DC discharging condition.
In an implementation, the controlling the reversible PWM rectifier 102 to cause the energy conversion device to discharge the power module includes:
controlling the reversible PWM rectifier 102 to alternately perform the charging process of the coil of the motor by the battery 101 and the discharging process of the power module by the coil of the motor, so that the energy conversion device discharges the power module.
The present embodiment is described below by using a specific circuit structure. As shown in
Parking Reduction Voltage Discharging Mode:
when the DC port 105 is connected with the DC electric device, the switch K1, the switch K3, the switch K4, the switch K5, and the switch K6 are controlled to be turned off. A plurality of phase bridge arms of the motor may be controlled by a same phase or staggered phases. An angle by which the phases are staggered in the phase-staggered control is 360 divided by a number of phases of the motor, which increases the equivalent inductance of the motor and reduces the discharging ripple of the battery 101. By means of the alternate conduction of the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm, the motor winding coils may store energy and release the energy storage of the winding coils. A bus voltage is dropped to the required voltage for output or the output current is controlled to the required value, so as to perform reduction voltage discharge output for the battery 101.
As shown in
When the voltage that the DC port 105 is required to output is higher than the maximum voltage that the battery 101 may output, the switch K2 and the switch K5 are open, and the switch K1, the switch K3, the switch K4, and the switch K6 are closed. The alternating conduction of the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the reversible PWM rectifier 102 is controlled, which may be controlled in the same phase or in staggered phases by an angle equal to 360 divided by a number of phases of the motor. The same phase is preferably selected for control by LC resonance.
