DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

To facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to these embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the contents of the present disclosure more thorough and comprehensive.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by the ordinary skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

At present, an insulation impedance detection circuit is usually arranged in a power conversion system, but the insulation impedance detection circuit may result in an additional impedance which may affect the overall insulation impedance to the ground of the power conversion system. In the related scheme, the insulation impedance detection circuit is implemented by using a fixed resistor connected in parallel with an insulation impedance to ground to divide an voltage, and the insulation impedance to ground is obtained by analyzing a voltage division value sampled by detecting. Alternatively, a bridge circuit detection method is used to obtain the insulation impedance to ground by sampling the voltage of the bridge circuit and analyzing the detected voltage of the bridge circuit. However, whether using a fixed resistor for voltage division or using a bridge circuit for detection, a resistor connected in parallel with the insulation impedance to ground will be introduced, and the resistance value of the introduced parallelly connected impedance is usually about 1 MΩ to 5 MΩ.

When an insulation detection is not required, the existing of the additional insulation test resistor in the insulation impedance detection circuit causes the overall insulation impedance of the power conversion system to decrease. An alarm threshold for a fault of the power conversion system is usually in the order of 1 MΩ. Since the additional resistance is introduced between the positive/negative electrode of the battery and the ground, the overall insulation impedance value of the power conversion system will be lowered. When the Battery Management System (BMS) performs an insulation detection, an insulation abnormality alarm may be triggered, thus affecting a normal operation of the power conversion system.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the present disclosure provides a power conversion system, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3, the power conversion system includes: a first voltage-dividing circuit 100, a second voltage-dividing circuit 200, a switch module 300, a control module 400, and a detection module 500.

The switch module 300 is arranged in the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and/or in the second voltage-dividing circuit 200, and the conduction or disconnection of the first circuit 110 and/or the second circuit 210 is controlled by controlling the conduction or disconnection of the switch module 300, and/or the conduction or disconnection of the third circuit 120 and/or the fourth circuit 220 is controlled by controlling the conduction or disconnection of the switch module 300. The switch module 300 may include a device having the ability to disconnect and conduct.

The control module 400 is connected to the switch module 300, and the control module 400 is configured to control the conduction and disconnection of the switch module 300 to switch the working mode of the power conversion system to be the detection mode or the normal mode (the normal mode is a mode in which no insulation impedance detection is performed). The detection module 500 is connected to the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 or the second voltage-dividing circuit 200, and the detection module 500 is configured to detect the resistance values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry in the detection mode.

When the power conversion system performs an insulation impedance detection, the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 may be controlled to be turned on by the switch module 300, and voltage divisions of resistors in the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and/or in the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 are detected and analyzed to obtain the insulation impedance to ground. When the insulation impedance detection is stopped, the switch module 300 may be controlled by the control module 400 to disconnect at least one of the first circuit 110, the second circuit 210, the third circuit 120 and the fourth circuit 220, thereby reducing the resistors connected in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry of the power conversion system, so as to reduce the decrease of the insulation impedance to ground caused by the insulation impedance detection resistance introduced by the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200, which is beneficial to ensuring that the power conversion system has a high insulation impedance to ground and beneficial to the normal operation of the power conversion system.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the switch module 300 includes a first switch unit 310 and a second switch unit 320.

The first switch unit 310 is arranged in the first circuit 110 and configured to control the first circuit 110 to be turned on or off. The first switch unit 310 may be a single-pole double-throw switch, a photocoupler, an optocoupler transistor, a relay, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The control module 400 is further configured to control the first switch unit 310 to be turned off, control the second switch unit 320 to be turned on, and control the detection module 500 to perform a second detection operation to obtain the voltage Vp2 across the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the voltage Vn2 across the second voltage-dividing circuit 200. The control module 400 controls the first switch unit 310 to be turned off and the second switch unit 320 to be turned on, and the resistance of the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the resistance of the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 change, so that the voltage divisions of the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 change.

The detection module 500 is further configured to calculate the resistance values of the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry respectively according to following Equations:

$\frac{R 1 // (R 5 + R 6) // Rx}{(R 7 + R 8) // Ry} = \frac{Vp 1}{Vn 1}, and \frac{(R 5 + R 6) // Rx}{R 4 // (R 7 + R 8) // Ry} = \frac{Vp 2}{Vn 2}$

Where, Rx denotes the resistance value of the first insulation impedance, and Ry denotes the resistance value of the second insulation impedance. In the present disclosure, a sign // denotes a connection in parallel. For example, R4//(R7+R8)//Ry denotes a total resistance value of the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 formed by the second circuit with a resistance value R4, the fourth circuit with a resistance value (R7+R8), and the second insulation impedance with a resistance value Ry connected in parallel as shown in FIG. 2.

In a normal mode, the control module 400 controls the first switch unit 310 and the second switch unit 320 to be disconnected.

In this way, when the insulation impedance detection is stopped, the first circuit 110 may be controlled to be disconnected by the first switch unit 310, and the second circuit 210 may be controlled to be disconnected by the second switch unit 320, thus disconnecting the circuits connected in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry respectively, so as to reduce the resistance connected in parallel with the first insulation impedance Rx and the second insulation impedance Ry, and reduce the decrease of the insulation impedance to ground caused by the insulation impedance detection resistance introduced by the insulation impedance detection, which is beneficial to ensuring that the power conversion system has a comparatively high insulation impedance to ground and beneficial to the normal operation of the power conversion system.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first circuit 110 includes the first resistor R1, the first terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the positive electrode BAT+ of the power conversion system, the second terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the ground PE. The third circuit 120 includes a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6 connected in series, the first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the positive electrode BAT+ of the power conversion system, the second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first terminal of the resistor R6, and the second terminal of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the ground PE.

The resistance values of the first resistor R1 to the eighth resistor R8 are all known.

It may be understood that this embodiment only illustrates the power conversion system, and the number and resistance values of the resistors arranged in each specific circuit may be flexibly adjusted according to detection requirements.

It may be understood that any switch device capable of performing switching of circuits is within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the first switch unit 310 and the second switch unit 320 both perform switching of circuits by using single-pole double-throw switches, which has a low cost, a simple structure, and better effects.

In other implementable embodiments, the first switch unit 310 and the second switch unit 320 may be N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistors or P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistors, or other controllable switch devices.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the switch module 300 further includes a third switch unit 330 and a fourth switch unit 340.

The third switch unit 330 is arranged in the third circuit 120 and configured to control the conduction or disconnection of the third circuit 120. The third switch unit 330 may be a single-pole double-throw switch, a photocoupler, an optocoupler transistor, a relay, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The fourth switch unit 340 is arranged in the fourth circuit 220 and configured to control the conduction or disconnection of the fourth circuit 220. The fourth switch unit 340 may be a single-pole double-throw switch, a photocoupler, an optocoupler transistor, a relay, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The control module 400 is connected to and configured to control the third switch unit 330 and the fourth switch unit 340 respectively.

In the detection mode, the control module 400 is configured to control the third switch unit 330 and the fourth switch unit 340 to be turned on.

In the normal mode, the control module 400 controls the third switch unit 330 and the fourth switch unit 440 to be turned off.

In this way, the first circuit 110, the second circuit 210, the third circuit 120, and the fourth circuit 220 may be controlled to be turned on or off by the first switch unit 310, the second switch unit 320, the third switch unit 330, and the fourth switch unit 340, respectively. When the insulation impedance detection is stopped, the first circuit 110, the second circuit 210, the third circuit 120, and the fourth circuit 220 may be controlled to be disconnected by the control module 400 to prevent the resistance introduced by the insulation detection from causing the overall insulation impedance to ground of the power conversion system to be reduced, which is beneficial to ensuring that the power conversion system has a high insulation impedance to ground and beneficial to the normal operation of the power conversion system. What's more, the first circuit 110, the second circuit 210, the third circuit 120, and the fourth circuit 220 are all disconnected, which may avoid a too large switching range of the resistance of the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 when the first circuit 110 and the second circuit 210 are completely disconnected, which is beneficial to ensuring the detection accuracy of the power conversion system.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, one terminal of the switch module 300 is connected to the ground PE, and the other terminal of the switch module 300 is connected to the output terminal of the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the input terminal of the second voltage-dividing circuit 200.

In the detection mode, the control module 400 is configured to control the switch module 300 to be turned on, so that both the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 are turned on.

In the normal mode, the control module 400 controls the switch module 300 to be turned off, so that both the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 are disconnected.

In this way, it is only necessary to arrange a switch module 300 at a terminal where the first voltage-dividing circuit 100, the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 and the ground PE are connected. To simultaneously control the conduction or disconnection of the first circuit 110, of the second circuit 210, of the third circuit 120 and of the fourth circuit 220, the control module 400 only needs to control the switch module 300. The structure of the power conversion system is simpler, and the control method is simple.

The terminal controls the switch module 300 to be turned off so that the first circuit 110, the second circuit 210, the third circuit 120, and the fourth circuit 220 are all disconnected, thus preventing the parallelly connected resistors introduced by the power conversion system from affecting the overall insulation impedance to ground of the power conversion system, which is beneficial to ensuring that the power conversion system has a high insulation impedance to ground, and beneficial to the normal operation of the power conversion system.

In the normal mode, the control method for the power conversion system of the present embodiment controls the power conversion system through the control strategy to disconnect the circuit parallelly connected with the insulation impedance, thereby reducing the parallelly connected resistors introduced by the insulation impedance detection, thereby reducing the influence of the parallelly connected resistors on the overall insulation impedance of the power conversion system. What's more, in the detection mode, the control method of the present embodiment controls the power conversion system through the control strategy to adjust the resistance of the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the resistance of the second voltage-dividing circuit 200, so that the voltage across the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the voltage across the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 change. The voltage across the first voltage-dividing circuit 100 and the voltage across the second voltage-dividing circuit 200 are obtained by detecting the voltage across the test resistor, and the resistance of the first insulation impedance Rx and the resistance of the second insulation impedance Ry are calculated based on the voltage across the first voltage-dividing circuit 100, the voltage across the second voltage-dividing circuit 200, and the resistors in the power conversion system. The detection method is simple and has high measurement accuracy.
