Description

  The present invention relates to a DC power supply device that converts an AC voltage obtained from an AC power supply into a DC voltage.

  In devices such as air conditioners with motor loads that are driven by inverters, one way to increase efficiency is to reduce the current in the motor by reducing the current that flows through the motor by winding many coil windings in the motor. Methods for reducing are well known.

  However, when this method is actually performed, the induced voltage of the electric motor increases in proportion to the number of coil turns, so that the DC power supply device mounted on the equipment supplies the DC voltage supplied to the inverter by an amount corresponding to the increase in the induced voltage. Need to be high.

  Conventionally, as this type of DC power supply device, a device capable of obtaining a high DC voltage while improving the power factor by short-circuiting the AC power supply near the zero cross point of the AC power supply for a certain period of time through a reactor has been proposed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 14 shows a configuration of a conventional DC power supply device described in Patent Document 1.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the conventional DC power supply device includes an AC power supply 1, a first diode bridge 31 that rectifies an AC voltage from the AC power supply 1, and smoothing capacitors 32, 33, and 34. A voltage rectifier circuit is configured.

  A second diode bridge 35 and a short-circuit element 36 are connected to both ends of the AC power supply 1 via a reactor 5.

  Further, zero cross detection means 6 are provided at both ends of the AC power supply 1, and the power factor improvement means 37 detects the zero cross point of the AC power supply 1 by the zero cross detection means 6 for each half cycle of the AC power supply 1. The switching means 6 is turned on for a predetermined time from the zero cross point, and then turned off, thereby expanding the energization width of the input current from the AC power source 1 and improving the power factor, and smoothing the energy stored in the reactor 5 By supplying the capacitors 32, 33, and 34, a higher DC voltage than that of the voltage doubler rectifier circuit can be obtained.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of input current / voltage waveforms in the conventional DC power supply device described in Patent Document 1.

Further, the conventional DC power supply device described in Patent Document 1 includes an inverter circuit 38 and an electric motor 39 driven by the inverter circuit 38 as a load, and the pulse width modulation control signal in the inverter control means 40 that controls the inverter. By determining the short circuit start timing and the short circuit time of the short circuit element 36 based on the duty ratio, the power factor can be improved according to the load state.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-201248

However, in the conventional configuration in which the AC power supply 1 is short-circuited via the reactor 6 once every half cycle of the AC power supply 1, when the DC voltage supplied to the load is to be further increased, Therefore, it is necessary to use a short-circuit element 36 having a larger current rating, which leads to an increase in size and cost, and a deviation from a sinusoidal shape in the current waveform increases as the DC voltage is increased. There was a problem that the power factor would decrease.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a DC power supply device that has a high power factor and excellent boosting capability at low cost without reducing the efficiency of the power supply device at light load. And

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problem, the DC power supply device of the present invention changes the number of times that the short-circuit element (hereinafter referred to as switching means) is short-circuited in accordance with the load every half cycle of the AC power supply. .

  As a result, when driving a load that requires a high DC voltage, a current closer to a sine wave can be obtained by increasing the number of short circuits without increasing the peak current flowing through the switching means in one short circuit operation. The waveform is obtained and the boosting capability is improved.

  Further, at the time of light load, the switching loss in the DC power supply device is reduced by reducing the number of short circuits.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention controls the short-circuit period and the number of short-circuits (consisting of the short-circuit start timing and the short-circuit time) of the switching means so that the DC voltage becomes equal to the target voltage, and The upper limit value of the number of short circuits is switched according to the load.

  As a result, the number of short circuits of the switching means can be selected in accordance with the load condition within a range equal to or less than the number of short circuits that does not hinder the temperature rise of the DC power supply device.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention increases the number of short circuits only when the DC voltage is lower than the target voltage even when the short circuit time is equal to a predetermined maximum time.

  Thereby, the DC power supply device can always be operated with the minimum number of short circuits.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention increases the number of short-circuits in the case of a load that requires a high DC voltage by changing the number of short-circuits to be short-circuited every half cycle of the AC power supply according to the load. Without increasing the peak value of the current flowing through the switching means, the input current can be made to have a waveform closer to a sine wave using a switching element having a current capacity equivalent to that of the conventional switching means. Can be improved at the same time.

  In the case of a load that does not require a high DC voltage, the switching loss can be suppressed by reducing the number of short circuits, and the power conversion efficiency of the DC power supply device can be kept high.

  In addition, the DC power supply device of the present invention can use the DC power supply device up to the limit of the boosting capability obtained within the temperature rise restriction range by switching the upper limit value of the number of short circuits according to the load.

  In addition, the DC power supply device of the present invention provides an upper limit value for the number of short circuits during a half cycle of the AC power supply, and switches only when the DC voltage is lower than the target voltage even when the maximum value of the preset short circuit time is reached. By increasing the number of short-circuits of the means, it is possible to always operate with the minimum number of short-circuits corresponding to the load, and therefore it is possible to always operate the DC power supply device with optimum efficiency.

  A first aspect of the present invention is a rectifier that rectifies an AC voltage from an AC power source into a DC voltage and supplies it to a load, and is connected in series with each other and connected between both ends of a DC output end of the rectifier. A first capacitor and a second capacitor constituting a rectifier circuit, a reactor connected between the AC power source and one AC input terminal of the rectifier unit, switching means for short-circuiting the AC power source via the reactor, In a DC power supply apparatus having a control means for short-circuiting the switching means in synchronization with the zero-cross point, the number of short-circuits of the switching means performed every half cycle of the AC power supply is provided. , Change according to the load.

  To reduce unnecessary switching operations by increasing the number of shorts of the switching means only when necessary by changing the number of shorts of the switching means according to the boosting capability of the DC power supply required by the load Thus, a desired boosting capability can be obtained in a more efficient state.

  According to a second invention, in the first invention, the current detection means for detecting the input current is provided. By increasing the number of short-circuits of the switching means as the input current increases, not only a high boosting capability is obtained, but simultaneously By increasing the rate, the maximum power that can be taken out from the outlet can be increased.

  According to a third invention, in the first invention, an inverter and an electric motor driven by the inverter are provided as loads, and the number of short circuits of the switching means is increased as the inverter frequency is increased to cope with an increase in the induced voltage of the electric motor. Thus, the boosting capability of the DC power supply device can be increased so that the necessary DC voltage can be obtained.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, by setting the number of short circuits when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz more than the case of 60 Hz, the same short circuit number is slightly higher than that of 60 Hz. Even at 50 Hz where it is difficult to obtain the power factor, a power factor equivalent to that when the power supply frequency is 60 Hz can be secured.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rectifying unit that rectifies an AC voltage from an AC power source into a DC voltage and supplies the DC voltage to a load, and is connected in series with each other and connected between both ends of the DC output end of the rectifying unit. A first capacitor and a second capacitor constituting a circuit; a reactor connected between the AC power supply and one AC input terminal of the rectifying means; a switching means for short-circuiting the AC power supply through the reactor; The zero cross point detecting means for detecting the zero cross point of the power supply, the control means for short-circuiting the switching means in synchronization with the zero cross point, and the voltage detecting means for detecting the direct current voltage supplied to the load, the control means is a direct current In a DC power supply device that adjusts the short-circuit start timing and short-circuit time of the switching means so that the voltage becomes equal to a predetermined target voltage, according to the load By switching the upper limit of the number of short-circuits, it is possible to always operate below the minimum number of short-circuits necessary to obtain the DC voltage required for the load, so even when the voltage of the AC power supply falls unexpectedly, It is possible to prevent the temperature of the DC power supply device from rising due to a rapid increase in the number of short circuits.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the fifth aspect of the invention, the current detection means for detecting the input current is provided, and the higher the input current, the higher the upper limit value of the number of short-circuits of the switching means. By increasing the power factor, the maximum power that can be taken out from the outlet can be increased.

  According to a seventh invention, in the fifth invention, an inverter and an inverter-driven electric motor are provided as loads, and the upper limit value of the number of short-circuits of the switching means is set higher as the inverter frequency becomes higher. Corresponding to the increase, the boosting capability of the DC power supply device can be increased.

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the fifth aspect, by changing the upper limit value of the number of short circuits depending on the ambient temperature, the boost performance is increased to the temperature rise limit of the DC power supply device by raising the upper limit value of the number of short circuits particularly at low temperatures. It can be pulled out to the maximum.

  According to a ninth aspect, in the fifth aspect, by setting the number of short-circuits when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz to be higher than that in the case of 60 Hz, a relatively high power factor is relatively difficult to obtain compared to 60 Hz at 50 Hz. Also, it becomes possible to ensure a power factor equivalent to that when the power supply frequency is 60 Hz.

  According to a tenth aspect, in the fifth aspect, the DC voltage is lower than the target voltage even when all the short-circuit times are equal to a maximum value of a predetermined short-circuit time preset for each short-circuit start timing of the switching means. In this case, by increasing the number of short-circuits, it is possible to operate with the shortest number of short-circuits to output the DC voltage required by the load, so it is possible to always operate in an efficient state.

  In an eleventh aspect based on the fifth aspect, when the DC voltage detected by the voltage detecting means is lower than the target voltage set in advance by the target voltage storing means, the number of short circuits in the operating control mode is greater than or equal to The short circuit time twi (1 + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) in which the short circuit operation is performed only in the control mode is increased, and at the same time, the short circuit time twi (1) in the control mode in which the number of short circuits is lower than the control mode in operation. By reducing a part or all of ≦ i ≦ n), each control mode having a different number of short circuits can be freely set without being restricted by the magnitude relationship of the maximum value twimax of the short circuit time. In the mode, the best current waveform can be generated from the viewpoint of power factor and harmonics, and the current waveform is smoothly and continuously switched between control modes. It is possible to change to become.

  In a twelfth aspect according to the eleventh aspect, all short-circuiting times twj (n + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) are equal to a maximum time twjmax (n + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) preset at each short-circuit start timing. Even when the DC voltage is lower than the target voltage, the number of short circuits can be increased to increase the number of short circuits. It is possible to operate in a good condition.

In a thirteenth aspect of the invention, in any one of the first to twelfth aspects, a load range that does not require a high DC voltage by having an operating state (control mode) in which the switching means is short-circuited once in a half cycle of the power source. In the present invention, the efficiency of the DC power supply device can be prevented from decreasing due to an increase in the number of short-circuits, and the same efficiency can be ensured. In addition, since it has a control mode that does not short-circuit the switching means, unnecessary boosting operation can be suppressed. Therefore, especially when the AC power supply voltage is high, the DC voltage is raised more than required by the load to lower the overall efficiency. Can be prevented.

The fifteenth invention is the invention according to any one of the first to fourteenth inventions, which is twice in the first half of the power supply half cycle, first and second short-circuit periods mainly contributing to boosting capability improvement, and once in the second half. By having a control mode in which the switching means is intermittently short-circuited mainly by the third short-circuit period for improving the power factor, it is possible to obtain an input current waveform with small switching loss and a high-order harmonic component.

For this reason, a sufficient margin for harmonic regulation can be obtained without performing fine control on the short-circuit start timing and the short-circuit time of the switching means, thereby making the control of the short-circuit period easier. be able to.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a DC power supply device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the DC power supply device of the present invention includes a rectifier circuit 2 that rectifies an AC voltage of an AC power supply 1, and one AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2 to each DC output terminal of the rectifier circuit 2. A voltage doubler rectifier circuit is provided by a rectifier circuit 2 and a first capacitor 3 and a second capacitor 3 connected in series with each other. And a DC voltage is supplied to the load 5.

  Further, a reactor 6 is connected between the AC power source 1 and the AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2, and the AC power source 1 is constituted by a diode bridge, a MOSFET, an IGBT, or the like so as to be short-circuited through the reactor 6. Bidirectional switching means 7 is provided.

  Moreover, the zero cross detection means 8 for detecting the zero cross point of the AC power supply 1 is connected to both ends of the AC power supply 1, and in the drive signal generation means 9a provided in the control means 9 constituted by a microcomputer or the like, A drive signal for driving the switching means 7 is generated in synchronization with the zero cross point detected by the zero cross detection means 8, and the drive signal is transmitted to the switching element drive means 10 to intermittently short-circuit the switching means 7.

  Although not shown in the present embodiment, a smoothing capacitor may be further provided between the DC output terminals of the rectifier circuit 2.

  The DC power supply device according to the first embodiment has two control modes in which the number of short circuits in the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is different in the drive pattern of the switching means 7.

  In the first control mode, the switching means 7 is short-circuited twice every half cycle of the AC power supply 1, and the switching means 7 is set to a predetermined period tw1 after a predetermined time td1 and td2 have elapsed from the zero cross point. , Tw2, and then open.

  FIG. 2 shows input current / voltage waveforms in the first control mode according to the present embodiment.

  The example of FIG. 2 is for a power supply voltage of 100 V, an input of 1540 W, and a DC voltage of 274 V, and a power factor of 0.98 is obtained. Compared with the conventional current waveform (power factor 0.965) in which the peak current of the switching means 7 is substantially equal as shown in FIG. 10, it can be seen that a high power factor can be obtained by widening the conduction width of the input current.

  In the second control mode, the switching means 7 is short-circuited five times every half cycle of the AC power supply 1.

  FIG. 3A shows an input current / voltage waveform in the second control mode in the present embodiment, and FIG. 3B shows a harmonic current component of the input current in the second control mode.

  In the example of FIG. 3, a power factor of about 0.98 is obtained at a power supply voltage of 100 V, an input of 1925 W, and a DC voltage of 312 V, which is an advantageous current compared to the first control mode in terms of boosting capability and power factor. It can be seen that the waveform can be obtained.

  The selection of the first and second control modes is performed by the short-circuit number selection means 9b provided in the control means 9 as well.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the short circuit number selecting means 9b will be described.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention has a target voltage for each load that is driven in advance, and includes target voltage storage means 9c for storing the target voltage.

  When the load driven by the DC power supply device requires a high DC voltage, the voltage necessary for driving the load stored in the target voltage storage unit 9c according to the load is set as the target voltage.

  Further, the short circuit number selection means 9b selects a second control mode suitable for outputting a high DC voltage, and transmits the selected control mode to the drive signal generation means 9a.

  When the load is light and there is no need for a particularly high DC voltage, the voltage stored in the target voltage storage means 9c is a voltage around DC 250V, which has good conversion efficiency for the DC power supply device based on the voltage doubler rectifier circuit. Is selected as the target voltage.

  Furthermore, since the number of short-circuit selection means 9b is a load that does not require much boosting capability, the first control mode is selected with priority on efficiency, and the selected control mode is transmitted to the drive signal generation means 9a.

  Next, a method for generating a drive signal in the drive signal generating means 9a in the DC power supply device of the present invention will be described below.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention includes voltage detection means 11 that is connected in parallel to the load 5 and detects a DC voltage supplied to the load 5.

  When the control mode selected by the short circuit number selection unit 9b is the first control mode, the drive signal generation unit a fixes tdi (1 ≦ i ≦ 2), detects the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit 11, and The target voltage stored in advance by the target voltage storage means 9c is compared by the comparison means 9d, and the short-circuit time twi (1 ≦ i ≦ 1) of the switching means 7 is set so that the DC voltage supplied to the load 5 is equal to the target voltage. Increase or decrease the value of 2).

  When the control mode selected by the short circuit number selecting means 9b is the second control mode, tdi (1 ≦ i ≦ 5) is also fixed, and the detected voltage and the target voltage storing means in the voltage detecting means 11 are fixed. The target voltage stored in advance by 9c is compared by the comparison means 9d, and the value of the short circuit time twi (1 ≦ i ≦ 5) of the switching means 7 is set so that the DC voltage supplied to the load is equal to the target voltage. Increase or decrease.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the harmonic components near the 15th to 25th orders in the input current tend to increase as the number of intermittent shorts of the switching means in the half cycle of the power supply increases.

  Therefore, in general, an increase in the number of short circuits tends to be disadvantageous in terms of harmonic regulation, and a switching loss in the switching means 7 increases, so the number of short circuits in the switching means 7 should not be increased more than necessary. Is desirable.

  As described above, when the load 5 does not require a high DC voltage, the DC power supply device of the present invention sets the target voltage low and operates in the first control mode, thereby increasing the number of switching times more than necessary. High efficiency operation can be achieved without increasing.

  Moreover, when the load 5 requires a high DC voltage, it is possible to obtain a high DC voltage with a high power factor by setting the target voltage high and adopting the second control mode.

  In the present embodiment, the value of the i-th short-circuit start timing tdi from the zero cross point is fixed regardless of the state of the load, but the value of tdi is changed by the load 6 so as to obtain an optimum input current waveform. May be.

  For example, an input current detection means may be provided to change tdi depending on the magnitude of the input current. When a load has an electric motor, it depends on the rotation speed of the electric motor, the frequency of the inverter that drives the electric motor, etc. Tdi may be changed.

  In the present embodiment, the voltage detection means 11 is provided, and the voltage feedback is performed so that the target voltage is determined according to the state of the load to change the short circuit time twi in the i-th short circuit period. However, according to the load, the number of short circuits (k times in the half cycle of the power supply) and the drive pattern of the switching means 7 consisting of tdi and twi (1 ≦ i ≦ k) are stored in advance. The switching means 7 may be intermittently short-circuited with a drive pattern stored in advance according to the load to be performed.

(Embodiment 2)
The configuration of the DC power supply device according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  As in the first embodiment, the DC power supply device of the present embodiment has two control modes with different numbers of short circuits in the drive pattern of the switching means 7.

  In the first and second control modes, the short-circuit time twi in the i-th short-circuit period (hereinafter referred to as short-circuit time twi) is set for each mode so that the current and temperature of the switching means 7 do not exceed the maximum rating. A maximum value twimax is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the DC power supply apparatus of the present invention is provided with voltage detection means 11 for detecting a DC voltage supplied to the load 5, and the detected voltage obtained by the voltage detection means 11 is compared with the comparison means 9d. Is compared with the target voltage set in advance by the target voltage storage means 9c, and when the detected voltage is lower than the target voltage, the short circuit time twi of the switching means 7 is increased, and the detected voltage is higher than the target voltage. The short circuit time twi of the switching means 7 is reduced.

  In this way, the short-circuit time twi of the switching means 7 is adjusted by the drive signal generating means 9a so that the DC voltage supplied to the load 5 becomes a desired target voltage.

  Next, a method for determining the control mode in the short circuit number selecting means 9b will be described below.

  At the time of power-on or reset, it is assumed that the load 5 is no load or a light load close thereto, so that a high DC voltage is not required. For this reason, the first control mode (the number of short-circuits is two) is selected which has a small number of short-circuits and is excellent in efficiency.

  At this time, the initial values of the short circuit time twi (1 ≦ i ≦ 2) are all set to 0, and the circuit configuration of the DC power supply device is the voltage doubler rectifier circuit itself.

  FIG. 4A is a flowchart regarding the increase / decrease of the short circuit time twi and the selection of the control mode in the first control mode, and FIG. 4A is a flowchart regarding the increase / decrease of the short circuit time twi and the selection of the control mode in the second control mode. Shown in b).

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the first control mode, the second control mode is selected when the short-circuit time tw1 or tw2 reaches the predetermined values tw1max and tw2max, respectively, but still does not reach the target voltage. Then, the process shifts to the second control mode (the number of short circuits is 5).

  Further, in the second control mode, any or all of the short circuit time twi (3 ≦ i ≦ 5) in the short circuit period newly increased at the time of transition from the first control mode to the second control mode is zero. Even when the voltage supplied to the load 5 detected by the voltage detection means 11 is higher than the target voltage, the process shifts to the first control mode.

  With the above control, the direct-current power supply device of the present embodiment can be operated with the minimum number of short-circuits required to obtain the direct-current voltage required for the load 5, so that efficient operation is always possible.

  In the present embodiment, the number of short circuits of the switching means 7 during the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is switched in two stages of two and five times in two control modes, but three or more stages. Of course, the switching control for the number of short-circuits may be performed more finely by providing this control mode.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 5 shows a configuration of a DC power supply device according to the third embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the DC power supply device of the present invention includes a rectifier circuit 2 that rectifies the AC voltage of the AC power supply 1, and one AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2 to each DC output terminal of the rectifier circuit 2. A voltage doubler rectifier circuit is provided by a rectifier circuit 2 and a first capacitor 3 and a second capacitor 3 connected in series with each other. And a DC voltage is supplied to the load 5.

  Furthermore, a reactor 6 is connected between the AC power source 1 and the AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2, and bidirectional switching means 7 is provided so that the AC power source 1 is short-circuited via the reactor 6.

  Moreover, the zero cross detection means 8 which detects the zero cross point of the AC power supply 1 is connected to both ends of the AC power supply 1, and is detected by the zero cross detection means 8 in the converter control means 9e constituted by a microcomputer or the like. A drive signal for driving the switching means 7 is generated in synchronization with the zero cross point, and the drive signal is transmitted to the switching element drive means 10 to intermittently short-circuit the switching means 7.

  Further, the DC power supply device in the present embodiment includes current detection means 13 that detects an input current from the AC power supply 1.

  The DC power supply device of the present invention has a plurality of control modes in which the number of short-circuits of the switching means in the half cycle of the power supply is different as in the first or second embodiment, and the input current detected by the current detection means 13 Accordingly, the number of short circuits in the control mode, that is, the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is determined as follows.

  When the input current detected by the current detection unit 13 is low, the converter control unit 9e controls the number of short circuits so that the switching loss is reduced in order to prioritize the conversion efficiency of the power supply device. Select a mode.

  Further, when the input current becomes large and the outlet capacity is approached, the converter control means 9e takes the priority on the improvement of the power factor in view of the fact that the power that can be taken out from the outlet is limited by the power factor. In addition, a control mode having a larger number of short circuits is selected.

  With the above control, the DC power supply device of the present embodiment can operate with high efficiency at normal times when the input current is low, and the maximum power that can be taken out from the outlet by high power factor operation near the input current close to the outlet capacity. It becomes possible to make electric power larger than before.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 6 shows the configuration of a DC power supply device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 6, the configuration of the DC power supply device is the same as in the first to third embodiments, and an inverter 17 and an electric motor 18 driven by the inverter 17 are connected as a load of the power supply device.

  The converter control means 9e detects the inverter frequency obtained by the inverter control means 19 for driving the inverter 17, and sets the target voltage of the DC voltage supplied to the inverter 17 higher as the inverter frequency is higher. A large number of short circuits of the switching means 7 in the cycle are set.

  Note that the setting of the target voltage and the number of short circuits are not necessarily changed at the same time as the inverter frequency increases. In some cases, the number of short circuits may be the same and only the target voltage may be different, or the target voltage may be the same. Only the number of short circuits may be different.

  The electric motor 18 connected as the load 5 can increase the number of turns of the coil winding as compared with the case where it is driven using a conventional DC power supply device.

  That is, when the number of coil turns of the electric motor 18 is increased, a high DC voltage sufficient to cope with the increase of the induced voltage is required particularly in the high-speed region of the electric motor 18. This can be dealt with by adopting a control mode with a large number of short circuits in the region.

  Further, in the middle speed range of the electric motor 18 having a relatively high operation frequency, it is possible to maintain the same high converter efficiency as before by adopting a control mode in which the number of short-circuits is reduced with emphasis on efficiency.

  Therefore, in the medium speed range, the effect of reducing the inverter loss obtained by increasing the number of turns of the electric motor 18 can be obtained, and the converter efficiency which is the preceding stage can be maintained. Therefore, the high-efficiency driving of the electric motor 18 can be realized as a whole. Can do.

(Embodiment 5)
The configuration of the DC power supply device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  The control means 9 has a first control mode for short-circuiting only once in the first half of the power supply half cycle as in the conventional DC power supply apparatus, as the control mode of the DC power supply apparatus having the shortest number of short circuits of the switching means. Only when a high boosting capability is required, the number of short circuits is increased to 5 as the second control mode.

  Note that, as shown in the second embodiment, the number of short-circuits can be changed by changing the DC voltage detected by the voltage detection unit 11 to the target voltage even when the short-circuiting time twi of the switching unit 7 reaches the maximum short-circuiting time twimax. If it is less than 1, the first control mode is shifted to the second control mode, and the number of short circuits is changed from 1 to 5 times.

  In the present embodiment, when the boosting performance is required, the maximum output voltage can be increased by increasing the number of short circuits of the switching means 7, and the load 5 is within the output voltage range in the conventional DC power supply device. Is driven in exactly the same manner as a conventional DC power supply device in which the switching means 7 is short-circuited once, so that the same efficiency as the conventional DC power supply device can be maintained.

(Embodiment 6)
The configuration of the DC power supply according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  The DC power supply device of the present embodiment has a first control mode in which a short circuit is performed only once in the first half of the power supply half cycle as a control mode of the DC power supply device with the shortest number of short circuits of the switching means 7. Only when the boosting capability is required, the mode shifts to the second control mode having a plurality of short-circuit times.

  The number of short circuits in the second control mode differs depending on the power supply frequency of the AC power supply 1, and is set to 6 times at 50 Hz and 5 times at 60 Hz.

  The energization width that can be improved by one short-circuit operation of the switching means 7 is limited by the relationship of the current capacity of the switching element 7, and the improvement effect depends on the constants of the reactor 6, the first capacitor 3, and the second capacitor 4. Is almost determined.

  However, when the power frequency is 50 Hz, the power cycle is longer than that of 60 Hz. Therefore, when compared with the same number of short circuits, when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz, it is slightly disadvantageous in securing the power factor compared to 60 Hz.

  FIG. 7A shows an input current waveform when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz and the number of short circuits is 5 times, and FIG. 7B shows an input current waveform when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz and the number of short circuits is 6 times. .

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the number of short-circuits in the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is 5 when the input voltage is 100 V and the DC voltage is 300 V, the power factor is about 0.97 when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, it can be seen that a power factor of about 0.98, which is the same as the power factor at the power supply frequency of 60 Hz, can be obtained by setting the number of short circuits to six.

  Therefore, the direct-current power supply device according to the present embodiment can obtain a power factor equivalent to that in the case of 60 Hz by increasing the number of short-circuits in the case of 50 Hz than in the case of 60 Hz.

(Embodiment 7)
The configuration of the DC power supply device according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the third embodiment shown in FIG.

  The DC power supply device of the present embodiment has three control modes with different numbers of short circuits, and the AC power supply 1 has a predetermined target voltage so that the DC voltage detected by the voltage detection means 11 becomes a predetermined target voltage. A first control mode in which the switching means 7 is short-circuited only once every half cycle, and a second short-circuiting time in which the switching means is short-circuited twice in the first half of the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 and once in the second half. A control mode and a third control mode in which the switching means 7 is short-circuited five times every half cycle of the AC power supply 1.

  FIG. 8A shows an input current / voltage waveform in the second control mode of the DC power supply according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8B shows harmonic components of the input current.

  FIG. 8A shows an example in which a power factor of 0.97 is realized at an input voltage of 100 V, an input of 1840 W, and a DC voltage of 300 V by setting the number of intermittent shorts to three.

  In the first half of the half cycle of the AC power supply 1, the current peak of the switching means 7 is high and the electromagnetic energy stored in the reactor 6 is also large, so it mainly contributes to boosting the DC voltage, and in the latter half, It contributes mainly to the improvement of the power factor from the effect of expanding the conduction width of the input current.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, the harmonic component of the input current is small and has a sufficient margin with respect to the harmonic regulation value.

  FIG. 9 shows waveforms when the same resistive load as in FIG. 8 is driven by a conventional DC power supply device in which the switching means 7 is intermittently short-circuited once in a half cycle of the AC power supply 1.

  With respect to the DC voltage of about 295 V, the input is 1770 W and the power factor is about 0.94, and it can be seen that the current waveform shown in FIG. 7 is a balanced current waveform in terms of both boosting capability and power factor.

  In addition, when the AC power supply 1 is short-circuited twice in a half cycle, the boosting performance is improved when switching twice in the first half, and the power factor is mainly improved when short-circuiting once in the first half and the second half. Therefore, it is difficult to improve the boosting ability and power factor in a balanced manner.

  Furthermore, when the number of short circuits in the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is several times to about ten times, the higher the number of short circuits, the higher the high frequency components in the vicinity of the 15th to 25th orders of the input current with severe harmonic regulation values. In order to satisfy the harmonic regulation, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the short-circuit start timing tdi and to perform complicated control of twi for shaping the current waveform.

  In addition, when the number of short circuits in the half cycle of the power supply is increased to about several tens of times in order to satisfy the harmonic regulation, the efficiency of the power supply apparatus is significantly reduced due to an increase in switching loss.

  However, if the intermittent short circuit is performed twice in the first half and once in the second half as in the present embodiment, an increase in switching loss with respect to the required power factor / boost capability can be minimized, and there are few high frequency components. Since the input current can be obtained, even when the target voltage is determined and the short-circuiting time is determined by voltage feedback, the margin can be secured with a sufficient margin for harmonic regulation.

  Therefore, it is not necessary to finely control the short-circuit time and the short-circuit start timing in the switching means 7 for harmonic regulation, and voltage feedback can be performed with simple control.

  Note that the change in the number of short circuits in the half cycle of the AC power supply 1 is as follows in the case where the DC voltage does not reach the target voltage even when reaching the maximum value of the short circuit time of the switching means 7 as shown in the second embodiment. The control means 9 shifts from the first control mode to the second control mode, and changes the number of short circuits from one to three.

  Further, the control means 9 shifts from the second control mode to the third control mode in order to improve the power factor preferentially when the input current obtained by the current detection means 13 exceeds a predetermined current value. Then, the number of short circuits is increased from 3 times to 5 times.

  By properly using the three control modes as described above, in the normal load region, the most efficient operation is realized in the first control mode with one short circuit, and in the load region where a high DC voltage is required. In the second control mode with three short circuits, the power factor, boost capability and high factor are balanced, and when the input current becomes higher, the power that can be taken out from the outlet is maximized. Therefore, the power factor-oriented operation can be realized by the third control mode in which the number of short-circuits is 5, and the power is used up to the outlet capacity limit with a wide load range, particularly like an air conditioner. It can work effectively over the entire load range for the device.

(Embodiment 8)
Since the configuration of the DC power supply device according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The detection voltage obtained by the voltage detection means 11 is compared with the target voltage set in advance by the target voltage storage means 9c by the comparison means 9d. When the detection voltage is lower than the target voltage, the switching means 7 is short-circuited. When the time twi is increased and the detected voltage is higher than the target voltage, the drive signal is generated so that the short circuit time twi of the switching means 7 is decreased and the DC voltage supplied to the load 5 becomes a desired target voltage. The short circuit time twi of the switching means 7 is adjusted by the means 9a.

  Next, a method for determining the control mode in the short circuit number selecting means 9b will be described below.

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart for selecting the number of short circuits during the half cycle of the power supply of the DC power supply device of the present embodiment.

  The short circuit number selection means 9b sets an upper limit value of the number of short circuits that is determined in advance according to the size of the load.

  Note that the upper limit value of the number of short-circuits is stored in advance by obtaining the minimum number of short-circuits necessary to ensure the boosting capability necessary for driving the load 5 in the normally assumed voltage range of the AC power supply 1. .

  The short circuit number selection means 9b is configured so that the DC voltage does not meet the target voltage even when all of the short circuit times twi (1 ≦ i ≦ n) reach a predetermined maximum value twimax (1 ≦ i ≦ n), Only when the upper limit value set for each load is not reached, the number of short circuits is increased by one to gradually shift from the control mode with a small number of short circuits to the control mode with a large number of short circuits.

In the above example, the number of short circuits is increased once, but the number of short circuits may be increased for each predetermined step.

  With the above operation, the DC power supply device according to the present embodiment can always be operated with the minimum number of short-circuits required to obtain the DC voltage required for the load 5, and the voltage of the AC power supply 1 is unexpected. Even if the voltage drops, the risk of the temperature of the DC power supply rising more than expected can be eliminated by increasing the number of short-circuits in order to secure a DC voltage for voltage feedback operation. Boost performance can be demonstrated.

  Note that the magnitude of the load 5 may be judged based on the magnitude of the input current by providing a current detection means when the magnitude cannot be determined only by the operation mode of the load 5 or the like.

  When the load 5 is an electric motor driven by an inverter, the magnitude of the load may be determined based on the frequency of the inverter.

  In addition, by setting the upper limit value of the number of short circuits when the power supply frequency is 50 Hz as compared with the case where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, it is possible to prevent a difference in the maximum power that can be extracted from the outlet depending on the power supply frequency.

(Embodiment 9)
FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the DC power supply device according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention.

  The DC power supply device according to the present invention includes a rectifier circuit 2 that rectifies an AC voltage of the AC power supply 1 and a first rectifier circuit 2 connected between one AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2 and each DC output terminal of the rectifier circuit 2. 1 capacitor 3 and a second capacitor 4, and a voltage doubler rectifier circuit is constituted by the rectifier circuit 2, the first capacitor 3 and the second capacitor 3 connected in series with each other, and the load 5. DC voltage is supplied.

  Further, a reactor 6 is connected between the AC power source 1 and the AC input terminal of the rectifier circuit 2, and the AC power source 1 is constituted by a diode bridge, a MOSFET, an IGBT, or the like so as to be short-circuited through the reactor 6. Bidirectional switching means 7 is provided.

  Moreover, the zero cross detection means 8 for detecting the zero cross point of the AC power supply 1 is connected to both ends of the AC power supply 1, and in the drive signal generation means 9a provided in the control means 9 constituted by a microcomputer or the like, A drive signal for driving the switching means 7 is generated in synchronization with the zero cross point detected by the zero cross detection means 8, and the drive signal is transmitted to the switching element drive means 10 to intermittently short-circuit the switching means 7.

  Furthermore, the DC power supply device according to the present embodiment includes temperature detection means 21 that detects the ambient temperature of the DC power supply device.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the relationship between the ambient temperature and the upper limit of the number of short circuits in the DC power supply device of the present embodiment.

  The upper limit value of the number of short circuits is determined by performing a temperature rise test of the DC power supply device and the like, and setting the upper limit value of the number of short circuits for each ambient temperature in advance together with the maximum value twimax of the short circuit time in each control mode.

Based on the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection means 21, the short-circuit count selection means 9 b uses the upper limit value of the short-circuit count preset according to the ambient temperature as the upper limit value of the short-circuit count of the switching means 7. Within the range equal to or less than the number of short circuits, the number of short circuits is changed according to the relationship between the target voltage and the DC voltage as described in the eighth embodiment.

  The semiconductor element such as IGBT which is the switching means 7 generates heat with an increase in switching loss as the number of short circuits increases, and the temperature rises. Therefore, the upper limit value of the number of short circuits can be set higher as the ambient temperature is lower. It becomes.

  In an air conditioner, it is generally necessary to drive an electric motor at a higher rotation speed as the outdoor temperature is lower, particularly in heating operation.

  Therefore, since the direct current power supply device of the present embodiment can always exhibit the maximum boosting capability up to the limit of temperature rise, it is mounted on an outdoor unit of an air conditioner whose load varies depending on the outdoor temperature. Suitable as a DC power supply.

(Embodiment 10)
The configuration of the DC power supply device according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  FIG. 13 shows input current waveforms in three control modes of the DC power supply device of the present embodiment.

  FIG. 14 shows the relationship between the magnitude of the load and the short circuit time twi in the embodiment.

  When the DC voltage of the load 5 does not reach the target voltage, the control device of the DC power supply device outputs the timing tdi (1 ≦ i ≦ n) even in the control mode in which the number of short circuits is less than the control mode in operation. ) At the timing tdj (n +) that is output only in the control mode having the number of short circuits equal to or greater than the number of short circuits in the operating control mode. Short circuit time twj (n + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) in 1 ≦ j ≦ m) is increased at a predetermined rate.

  The decrease width of the short-circuit time twi and the increase width of the short-circuit time twj are set so that the influence of the increase of the short-circuit time exceeds the influence of the decrease so that the DC voltage increases due to the increase or decrease of both. The increase always increases the DC voltage.

  Further, when the DC voltage supplied to the load 5 is higher than the target voltage, the short-circuit time at the timing tdi (1 ≦ i ≦ n) output even in the control mode in which the number of short-circuits is smaller than the control mode in operation. twi (1 ≦ i ≦ n) is increased at a predetermined rate, and the timing tdj (n + 1 ≦ j ≦) is output only in the control mode having the number of short circuits equal to or greater than the number of short circuits in the operating control mode. The short-circuit time twj (n + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) in m) is decreased at a predetermined rate to decrease the DC voltage.

  In general, in an input current waveform that can be generated by short-circuiting the switching means 7 several times in the power supply half cycle of the AC power supply 1, an optimal input current waveform in terms of power factor and harmonics is obtained in each short-circuit control mode. Although the short-circuit start timing tdi and the short-circuit time twi obtained are different, the short-circuit time twi necessary for securing the same DC voltage is shorter in the control mode with a larger number of short-circuits than in the control mode with a smaller number of short-circuits.

Therefore, in an algorithm configured only by increasing the short circuit time twi when the target voltage is not reached, when an ideal current waveform is obtained in a control mode with a certain number of short circuits, in a control mode with a larger number of short circuits than that, It is difficult to obtain an ideal current waveform because it is not possible to obtain a short circuit time of twimax or less once widened.

  However, as described above, the short-circuit time twi (1 ≦ i ≦ n) that is output even in the control mode in which the number of short-circuits is smaller than that in the operating control mode, and the number of short-circuits greater than the number of short-circuits in the operating control mode By shifting between the control modes by increasing one and decreasing the other of the short circuit time twj (n + 1 ≦ j ≦ m) output only in the control mode having It is possible to realize an ideal current waveform in each short-circuit number control mode.

  In addition, in the algorithm that only increases the short circuit time twi, a plurality of twis increase at a time. Therefore, when the minimum resolution of twi is considered, the control accuracy of the DC voltage becomes coarser as the number of short circuits increases. In the DC power supply device according to the embodiment, the combination of the positive and negative of the short-circuit times twi and twj does not reduce the DC voltage control accuracy even when the number of short-circuits increases. Can be made smoother.

  As described above, the DC power supply device according to the present invention can not only reduce the conversion efficiency of the power supply in the conventional equivalent output voltage range, but can further expand the output voltage range to the high voltage side, Since efficiency can be improved by increasing the number of turns of the coil, it can be applied not only to air conditioners but also to other electrical appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
