This utility model discloses an external device circuit for output control of a charging
pile, specifically relating to the field of charging piles. It includes a PCB board on which a
microcontroller unit, a Q14 input module, an optocoupler
chip, a Q5 output module, and terminal blocks are integrated. This utility model outputs a high-level
signal through the
microcontroller unit and inputs it to the base of
transistor Q14 through
resistor R10. Under the action of
resistor R342, the current flowing through the collector of
transistor Q14 is approximately 20mA. At this time, the input current of the optocoupler is also 20mA. To ensure normal operation even under extreme conditions, the current
transfer ratio of the optocoupler is minimized, resulting in an output current of approximately 10mA. In this case,
transistor Q5 and the optocoupler combine to form a composite transistor to enhance the output current, preventing insufficient output drive capability when
high current output is required. This circuit, which can be implemented with simple components such as optocouplers, transistors, and resistors, is low in cost.
