  • Publication number: 20230108943
    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus. An additional heat capacity apparatus thereof is connected to a heating body by means of a low-heat-resistance channel, and the heat capacity of the heating body is increased, so that a temperature rise rate of the heating body can be reduced when the temperature of the heating body rapidly rises due to large transient loss, thereby lowering the temperature of the heating body at the end of the short-time peak working condition, and ensuring the reliability of a device. Moreover, a high-performance switch tube or more switch tubes connected in parallel are not required to be used as in the prior art, so that the size and the weight of the system are reduced, and the costs are saved.

  • Patent number: 11146204
    Abstract: A circuit for actively performing short-circuit and a motor controller are provided. The circuit includes an undervoltage detecting circuit, an emergency power supply, a reverse-flow preventing circuit, and a gate level selecting switch. The undervoltage detecting circuit is configured to detect a driving power supply signal outputted from the driving power supply and output, in a case that an amplitude of the driving power supply signal is lower than a first threshold, an emergency active short-circuit enable signal. In response to the emergency active short-circuit enable signal, the emergency power supply is enabled and the gate level selecting switch is controlled to switch from a first conduction path to a second conduction path, to transmit an emergency power supply signal outputted from the emergency power supply to a bridge arm via the second conduction path.

  • Patent number: 10644626
    Abstract: A method and a system for acquiring a rotor position of a rotary transformer are provided. The system includes: a rotary transformer decoder, a low pass filter and a microprocessor, which includes a synchronous demodulation module and a calculation module. The rotary transformer decoder outputs an excitation signal and acquires first position information of the motor rotor. The calculation module performs calculation to acquire second position information of the motor rotor. The rotary transformer decoder and software decoding are integrated to acquire two rotor positions, and the two rotor positions are compared. In a case that a preset determining condition is met, one of the rotor positions is used for motor control, and the other is used as redundant data for backup, thereby improving the reliability of the acquired rotor position.
