Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of converter control, and specifically, to a method for modulating a switch of a converter.

BACKGROUND

A method for modulating a switch of an interleaved converter in the related art is mainly applicable to a conventional two-phase interleaved parallel buck converter, single-phase stacked interleaved buck converter, and the like. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, each switch is configured to control a charge state or a discharge state of an inductor respectively. The above method needs to gradually analyze an inductance state to obtain a state of the switch, resulting in low operation efficiency of the interleaved converter.

For example, the interleaved parallel buck converter adopts two bridge arms and four switches. As shown in FIG. 1, since the switches of the interleaved parallel buck converter are conducted in an interleaved manner during operation, the above interleaved parallel buck converter can completely cancel output ripples only when a duty cycle is 50%. As a result, such a converter has a certain limitation and relatively low operation efficiency. A stacked interleaved buck converter also adopts two bridge arms and four switches. As shown in FIG. 2, a direct current of a secondary loop is isolated due to the existence of a capacitor of the secondary loop, so that a current flowing through a primary loop equals a load current, but the current stress flowing through the four switches increases simultaneously, and the operation efficiency of the interleaved converter is also reduced. In addition, when one bridge arm fails, the topological structure of the stacked interleaved buck converter cannot be operated properly, so that such an interleaved converter has a certain limitation.

In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed yet.

Embodiment 1

A method for modulating a switch of an interleaved converter in the related art mainly relates to three converters, which are a conventional two-phase interleaved parallel buck converter, a stacked interleaved buck converter, and a multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a conventional two-phase interleaved parallel buck converter in the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, a switch sequence of the two-phase interleaved parallel buck converter is

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}{S}_{11}& S_{21}\\ S_{12}& S_{22}\end{array}\right].$

A switch S₁₁ controls the charge of an inductor L1, a switch S₁₂ controls the discharge of the inductor L1, a switch S₂₁ controls the charge of an inductor L2, and a switch S₂₂ controls the discharge of the inductor L2. That is to say, each switch controls a charge state or a discharge state of one inductor. Therefore, an inductor state is required to be gradually analyzed to obtain states of the switches, resulting in low operation efficiency.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a stacked interleaved buck converter in the related art. As shown in FIG. 2, a switch sequence of the stacked interleaved buck converter is

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}{S}_{11}& S_{21}\\ S_{12}& S_{22}\end{array}\right].$

The switch S₁₁ controls the charge of the inductor L1, the switch S₁₂ controls the discharge of the inductor L1, the switch S₂₁ controls the charge of the inductor L2, and the switch S₂₂ controls the discharge of the inductor L2. In this way, each switch controls the charge state or the discharge state of one inductor. Therefore, the inductor state is required to be gradually analyzed to obtain the states of the switches, resulting in low operation efficiency.

In view of the above disadvantages, in the present disclosure, a method for modulating a parallel interleaved switch is provided based on a multiphase stacked interleaved topological structure. The charge and discharge of a plurality of inductors may be controlled by controlling the switching of the switches. Therefore, the time for analyzing the switch state can be reduced, and the operation efficiency of the converter can be greatly enhanced.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method embodiment for modulating a switch of a converter is provided. It is to be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings may be executed in a computer system, such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than here.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for modulating a switch of a converter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method is applicable to a topological structure of a multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter. The topological structure includes a first number of primary loops, the first number of secondary loops, and the first number of bridge arms. Each bridge arm is provided with a second number of switches. The method includes the following steps.

At S102, charge-discharge state information in the topological structure is acquired. The charge-discharge state information includes at least a first charge-discharge state of any one phase primary loop, a second charge-discharge state of a secondary loop corresponding to any one phase primary loop, a third charge-discharge state of another primary loop, and a fourth charge-discharge state of another secondary loop.

At S104, a closed state of a switch disposed on a bridge arm connected to any one phase primary loop is adjusted based on the first charge-discharge state, and a closed state of a switch disposed on another bridge arm is adjusted based on the second charge-discharge state and the third charge-discharge state.

As at least one alternative embodiment, any primary loop corresponds to a secondary loop. As shown in FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b, an end of the secondary loop is connected to the bridge arm, and the other end of the secondary loop is connected to the corresponding primary loop. The primary loop and the bridge arm-connected end of the secondary loop corresponding to the primary loop are respectively connected to two different bridge arms.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the charge-discharge state information in the topological structure is acquired. The charge-discharge state information includes at least the first charge-discharge state of any one phase primary loop, the second charge-discharge state of the secondary loop corresponding to the any one phase primary loop, the third charge-discharge state of another primary loop, and the fourth charge-discharge state of another secondary loop. The closed state of the switch disposed on the bridge arm connected to the any one phase primary loop is adjusted based on the first charge-discharge state, and the closed state of the switch disposed on another bridge arm is adjusted based on the second charge-discharge state and the third charge-discharge state. Therefore, a purpose of simultaneously controlling the charge and discharge of the plurality of inductors can be achieved, and the technical effect of enhancing the operation efficiency of the converter can be realized, thereby resolving the technical problem that a conventional method for modulating a switch of an interleaved converter needs to gradually analyze the charge and discharge of a plurality of inductors, resulting in low operation efficiency of the converter.

In an optional embodiment, the step of acquiring the charge-discharge state information in the topological structure includes: determining the second charge-discharge state, the third charge-discharge state, and the fourth charge-discharge state based on the first charge-discharge state and a connection relationship between each loop and the first number of bridge arms.

As at least one alternative embodiment, the first charge-discharge state is same as the fourth charge-discharge state, and both the second charge-discharge state and the third charge-discharge state are opposite to the first charge-discharge state. For example, in a three-phase stacked interleaved topological structure shown in FIG. 4a, Lp1, Lp2, and Lp3 are three primary loops, and Ls1, Ls2, and Ls3 are three secondary loops. When the primary loop Lp1 is charged, the corresponding secondary loop Ls1 is discharged, the primary loops Lp2 and Lp3 are discharged, and the secondary loops Ls2 and Ls3 are charged. Similarly, when the primary loop Lp1 is discharged, the corresponding secondary loop Ls1 is charged, the primary loops Lp2 and Lp3 are charged, and the secondary loops Ls2 and Ls3 are discharged. In this way, the technical effect of completely eliminating electric current ripples may be realized.

In an optional embodiment, still as shown in FIG. 4a, A sequence of switches disposed on the first number of bridge arms the topological structure is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{S}_{11}& S_{21}& S_{31}\\ S_{12}& S_{22}& S_{32}\\ S_{13}& S_{23}& S_{33}\end{array}\right].$

S₁₁, S₁₂, and S₁₃ are first bridge arm switches, S₂₁, S₂₂, and S₂₃ are second bridge arm switches, and S₃₁, S₃₂, and S₃₃ are third bridge arm switches. S₁₁, S₂₁, and S₃₁ are configured to control a charge state of the number of the primary loops or the number of the secondary loops, S₁₂, S₂₂, and S₃₂ are configured to control the charge state of the number of the primary loops and a discharge state of the number of the secondary loops, and S₁₃, S₂₃, and S₃₃ are configured to control a discharge state of the number of the primary loops or the number of the secondary loops.

As at least one alternative embodiment, when S_ij=1(i=1, 2, 3; j=1, 2, 3), the bridge arm switch is in a closed state; and when S_ij=0, the bridge arm switch is in a disconnected state. The method includes: if a target phase primary loop is in a charge state, a state of the bridge arm switch connected to the target phase primary loop is

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ 1\\ 0\end{array}\right],& \end{array}$

a state of the bridge arm switch connected to a target secondary loop is

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ 1\\ 1\end{array}\right],& \end{array}$

and a switch state of another bridge arm is

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ 0\\ 1\end{array}\right].& \end{array}$

Therefore, the technical effects of reducing the excessive large current stress of the switches in the interleaved buck converter and enhancing the operation efficiency of the interleaved buck converter can be realized, thereby resolving the technical problems of excessive large current stress of the switches in the interleaved buck converter and low operation efficiency and fault tolerance of the interleaved buck converter in the related art.

As at least one alternative embodiment, in the topological structure of the multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter still as shown in FIG. 15, the first number of primary loops are connected in parallel and configured to reduce an average current flowing through the inductor. Since a plurality of primary loops are connected in parallel, a total output current is shunted, so that large current output may be achieved, the average current flowing through the inductor may be reduced, and current stress flowing through the switches may also be reduced. In addition, the fault tolerance of a circuit is improved. When some bridge arm fails, other bridge arms may continue to operate, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the entire converter.

In an optional embodiment, the first number of bridge arms include: a second number of bridge arm switches, configured to control the charge-discharge states of the first number of primary loops and the first number of secondary loops based on switch states of the bridge arm switches.

The same bridge arm is connected to one primary loop and the secondary loop corresponding to the other primary loop.

As at least one alternative embodiment, the number of the bridge arm switches on each bridge arm is the same. For example, in a schematic diagram of the topological structure of the multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter shown in FIG. 15, each bridge arm is provided with three bridge arm switches, and the three bridge arm switches mounted on the same bridge arm cannot be in an off state at the same time. S₁₁, S₂₁, and S₃₁ are three bridge arm switches on the first bridge arm, S₁₂, S₂₂, and S₃₂ are three bridge arm switches on the second bridge arm, . . . , S1n, S2n, and S3n are three bridge arm switches on the nth bridge arm.

As at least one alternative embodiment, the electric current ripple is further configured to determine an inductance parameter of the inductor within a target time period. An equation of the electric current ripple within the target time period is

$\Delta i=\frac{D\left(1-D\right)}{\mathrm{fL}}{V}_{\mathrm{IN}}.$

Δi is the electric current ripple, D is a duty cycle of the multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter, f is a switching frequency of a switch of the multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter, L is the inductor, and V_IN is an input voltage of the multiphase stacked interleaved buck converter. The target time period may be, but is not limited to, a certain time period within a cycle.

It is to be noted that, according to the multiphase stacked interleaved topological structure, the output electric current ripple may be completely canceled within a certain duty cycle range. In addition, since there are a plurality of primary loops, the function of shunting may be realized, and the current flowing through the inductor is one nth of a load current (n is the number of phases), so that the current stress flowing through each switch is also reduced. Therefore, large current may be outputted, and the efficiency of the converter may be obviously enhanced. Through the adoption of multiphase stacking and interleaving, better fault tolerance may be realized. When one bridge arm fails, other bridge arms may continue to operate, thereby achieving the technical effect of enhancing the operation efficiency of the converter.

Based on the principle that the same phase primary and secondary loops have different charge-discharge states, the second phase secondary loop Ls2 is determined to be in a discharge state, the second bridge arm switches S₂₂ and S₂₃ are controlled to close, and S₂₁ is controlled to disconnect. In this case, the switch state of the bridge arm is

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\\ 1& 1\\ 1& 0\end{array}\right],$

and the first phase primary loop Lp1 is simultaneously determined to be in a charge state.

As an optional embodiment, FIG. 17d is a schematic diagram of a topological structure of an optional two-phase stacked interleaved buck converter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 17d, if both the first phase primary loop and the second phase primary loop (that is, Lp1 and Lp2) are in a discharge state, and based on the principle that the same phase primary and secondary loops have different charge-discharge states, both the first phase secondary loop and the second phase secondary loop (that is, Ls1 and Ls2) are determined to be in a charge state. The first bridge arm switches S₁₁ and S₁₃ are controlled to close, and S₁₂ is controlled to disconnect. The second bridge arm switches S₂₁ and S₂₃ are controlled to close, and S₂₂ is controlled to disconnect. In this case, the switch state of the bridge arm is
