The present disclosure relates to the field of domestic appliances, and in particular to a system applied in a switch tube for conducted EMI suppression, and a domestic appliance.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) refers to interference, which is caused by unwanted signals or noise and interferes reception or transmission of useful electromagnetic signals. The EMI generated by an electronic/electrical device is transmitted through wires or public power lines. The EMI transmitted in wires or public power lines may be called conducted EMI. The conducted EMI generated by the electronic/electrical device may be measured through an artificial line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Currently, any electronic/electrical device needs to pass a relevant conducted EMI test before being released into the market.
For an electronic/electrical device that is configured with a switch tube, such as a bidirectional thyristor, a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) field effect transistor, and an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), when the electronic/electrical device connected to the above-mentioned switch tube is an inductive load, and when the above-mentioned switch tube is turned off, a large reverse impulse voltage may be generated at two ends of the switch tube, generating the conducted EMI. For example, when a bidirectional thyristor is connected to the inductive load, and when a reverse voltage is applied to the bidirectional thyristor, a carrier accumulation effect is generated. That is, a large number of minority carriers are stored on two sides of a PN junction, resulting in a reverse blocking ability unable to be restored. The minority carriers may be drawn out of the PN junction by the reverse voltage. In this way, a larger reverse recovery current may flow through the bidirectional thyristor, and the stored minority carriers are reduced rapidly by the reverse voltage, such that a reverse recovery current attenuates rapidly, generating a larger instantaneous current change. The larger reverse impulse voltage may be generated at two ends of the bidirectional thyristor due to the inductive load and a parasitic inductance, to generate the conducted EMI.
In order to enable electronic/electrical device to pass the conducted EMI test, an absorption circuit may be arranged at each of the two ends of the above-mentioned switch tube to provide a bypass for the reverse recovery current.
Therefore, a significant issue to be solved in the art may refer to providing a system applied in the switch tube for suppressing the conducted EMI, improving the effect of conducted EMI caused by suppressing the switch tube, avoiding the configuration of the filter plate, and reducing the cost of passing the conducted EMI test.
In view of the shortcomings in the related art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system applied in the switch tube for suppressing the conducted EMI, and a domestic appliance.

The conducted EMI suppression circuit may include one inductor and an RC circuit. The inductor may be connected to each switch tube in series, and further connected in parallel with the RC circuit.

In order to illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure clearly, accompanying drawings for describing the embodiments will be introduced in brief. The drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application.

The conducted EMI suppression circuit may include an inductor 3 and an RC circuit 4. The inductor 3 is connected in series with each switch tube 2, the inductive load 1 is connected with each switch tube 2. The inductor 3 is connected in series with each switch tube 2, and is subsequently connected with the RC circuit 4 in parallel. The conducted EMI suppression circuit is configured to suppress the conducted EMI generated by each switch tube 2 being turned off.
In detail, the inductive load 1 may be a motor, and the switch tube 2 may be a bidirectional thyristor MOS tube or an IGBT. When switch tubes 2 are configured, only one of the plurality of switch tubes 2 may be in a conductive state at a time. An end of the inductor 3 may be connected to a firewire, and the other end of the inductor 3 may be connected to the switch tube 2. The RC circuit 4 may include a resistor and a capacitor, and the resistor and the capacitor are connected in series.
When the switch tube 2 is turned off, a relatively large reverse impulse voltage may be generated at two ends of the switch tube 2, generating the conducted EMI. When measuring the conducted EMI of the inductive load 1, an LISN needs to be connected between a power grid and the inductive load 1. A level of the conducted EMI may be reflected by a voltage received by a 5052 resistor in the LISN. A source of interference may be the reverse impulse voltage generated by the switch tube being turned off. A sensitive device may be the 50Ω resistor in the LISN between mains electricity and the inductive load. In order to illustrate an effect of the system applied in the switch tube for suppressing the conducted EMI provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in suppressing conducted EMI, configuring the switch tube 2 as the bidirectional thyristor may be taken as an example to compare an insertion loss of the absorption circuit shown in
In the equation, j=√{square root over (−1)}, ω may be a frequency of the conducted EMI, R may be a resistance value of the resistor in the RC absorption circuit, and C may be a capacitance value of the capacitor in the RC absorption circuit.
According to the substitution theorem: in a circuit having a unique solution, any two-terminal element or network, regardless of linearity of the element or the network, can be replaced by a voltage source. A function expression and a reference direction of a voltage of the voltage source may be the same as a terminal voltage of the original two-terminal element or network. Therefore, a conducted EMI measurement circuit diagram after the bidirectional thyristor being in parallel connected with the RC absorption circuit may be obtained.
As a method for analyzing the common mode conducted EMI may be the same as a method for analyzing the differential mode conducted EMI, the differential mode conducted EMI may be analyzed in the following section.
In the equation, the ZM may be the impedance of the inductive load, and the ZLISN may be the impedance of LISN.
In the circuit shown in
As a large number of minority carriers accumulated in the PN junction are drawn away by the reverse voltage, the reverse recovery current may attenuate rapidly. Therefore, the RC absorption circuit of the bidirectional thyristor does not affect the attenuation of the reverse recovery current. That is, the reverse recovery current IR in the frequency domain remains unchanged. Therefore, the insertion loss LRC of the RC absorption circuit may be obtained based on the following equation.
According to the equation (4), when the frequency ω is low, the impedance of the capacitor may be high, resulting in a low insertion loss LRC. When the frequency ω is high, the stray inductance may cause the impedance ZM of the inductive load to be reduced, the insertion loss LRC may not be high either.
In the equation, j=√{square root over (−1)}, ω may be a frequency of the conducted EMI, R may be a resistance value of the resistor in the RC absorption circuit, C may be a capacitance value of the capacitor in the RC absorption circuit, and L may be an inductance value of the inductor in the conducted EMI suppression circuit.
In the equation, // may indicate parallel connection.
The insertion loss LRLC of the conducted EMI suppression circuit may be obtained based on the following equation.
In order to compare the insertion loss LRLC of the conducted EMI suppression circuit and the insertion loss LRC of the RC protection circuit, the impedance ZM of the inductive load in
The following equation may be obtained by subtracting the equation (4) from the equation (7).
According to the equation (8), the ΔL increases as the L increases. Therefore, the system for suppressing conducted EMI provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure shows a significant suppression effect on the conducted EMI.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the system applied in the switch tube for suppressing conducted EMI may include the conducted EMI suppression circuit, the inductive load, and at least one switch tube. The conducted EMI suppression circuit may include the inductor and the RC circuit. The inductor may be connected in series with each switch tube. The inductive load may be connected to each switch tube. The inductor may be connected in series with each switch tube, and subsequently connected in parallel with the RC circuit. The conducted EMI suppression circuit may be configured to suppress the conducted EMI generated by the switch tube being turned off. As the conducted EMI suppression circuit includes the inductor and the RC circuit, while performing the conducted EMI test, the voltage for the LISN may be divided, the filter plate may not be required, and the cost of passing the conducted EMI test may be reduced. In addition, the conducted EMI suppression circuit may further reduce reverse impulse voltage, improving the service life of the switch tube.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, further, an end of the inductor 3 may be connected to the firewire, i.e., the L line, and the other end of the inductor 3 may be connected to an end of each switch tube 2.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, further, the switch tube 2 may be the bidirectional thyristor, the MOS tube or the IGBT. The bidirectional thyristor may be equivalent to integration of a pair of common thyristors connected in anti-parallel, which may generally be configured in AC circuits. The thyristor, also known as a silicon controlled rectifier, is a semi-controlled device that may be turned on by a control signal but may not be controlled to be turned off. The thyristor may be turned off in response to a forward current being reduced below a value close to zero.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, further, the inductive load 1 may be a motor.
In a cylinder washing machine, two bidirectional thyristors may be configured to control a motor of the cylinder washing machine to rotate forwardly and reversely, respectively.
