[0031] The overcurrent reset circuit comprises a fourth operational amplifier, a fourteenth terminal of the fourth operational amplifier is connected with a negative electrode of a sixth diode D6, a positive electrode of the sixth diode D6 is connected with one end of a sixteenth resistor R16, the other end of the sixteenth resistor R16 is connected with the level self-locking circuit, the positive current comparison circuit and the negative current comparison circuit respectively, a twelfth terminal of the fourth operational amplifier is also connected with the level self-locking circuit, a thirteenth terminal of the fourth operational amplifier is connected with one end of a fifteenth resistor R15 and one end of a seventeenth resistor R17 respectively, the other end of the seventeenth resistor R17 is grounded, the other end of the fifteenth resistor R15 is connected with one end of an overcurrent reset switch, the other end of the overcurrent reset switch is connected with a second voltage output terminal of the power supply circuit.

[0032] The circuit principle is as follows: The DC 12V power supply is input to the twelfth capacitor C12 through the port JP1, filtered and then output as a +12V power supply, and another power supply is supplied to the three-terminal voltage stabilizing chip IC2 (model 78M05) to be reduced to a +5V power supply, and the tenth capacitor C10 and the eleventh capacitor C11 are both filter capacitors.

[0033] That is, the power supply circuit can serve as a first voltage output terminal, that is, a +12V voltage output terminal, and also can serve as a second voltage output terminal, that is, a +5V voltage output terminal, and the power supply circuit supplies power to the rest of the circuits.

[0034] The first input terminal and the second input terminal of the current sensor chip IC1 are connected with external circuits, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are both filter capacitors, the current sensor chip IC1 outputs a 2.5V direct current signal when the current is 0, outputs a voltage greater than 2.5V when the current is positive, and outputs a voltage less than 2.5V when the current is negative.

[0035] The following describes the case when the current is positive: When the positive current, that is, the positive phase output current, reaches 120A, the voltage output by the third output terminal, that is, the 3-pin output, of the current sensor chip IC1 is about 3.7V, at this time, the 3.7V signal output by the third output terminal of the current sensor chip IC1 is output as a stable 3.7V signal through the RC high-frequency filter circuit composed of the sixth resistor R6 and the third capacitor C3, and the fifth resistor R5 is a current limiting resistor.

[0036] The third end of the first operational amplifier, i.e. the 3rd pin, and the second end, i.e. the 2nd pin, are compared by the fifth resistor R5 and the ninth resistor R9, i.e. a pull-down resistor. The voltage at the 2nd pin is obtained by dividing the voltage of +5V by the first resistor R1 and the fourth resistor R4 to obtain a voltage of 3.7V and filtering by the fourth capacitor C4. If the voltage at the 3rd pin of the first operational amplifier is greater than the voltage of 3.7V at the 2nd pin, the first end of the first operational amplifier, i.e. the 1st pin, outputs a high level voltage of 5V, which is sent to the seventh capacitor through the second resistor and the first diode. The second resistor is a current-limiting resistor, the first diode is a single-phase conducting diode, and the seventh capacitor is a voltage holding capacitor.

[0037] The voltage at the fifth end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 5th pin, and the voltage at the sixth end, i.e. the 6th pin, are compared. The voltage at the 6th pin is obtained by dividing the voltage of +5V by the seventh resistor R7 and the tenth resistor R10 and filtering by the eighth capacitor C8 to obtain a voltage of 2.5V. At this time, the voltage at the 5th pin is 5V, which is greater than the voltage at the 6th pin, i.e. 2.5V. Therefore, the seventh end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 7th pin, outputs a high level voltage of 5V. One way is to charge the seventh capacitor C7 through the third resistor R3, i.e. a current-limiting resistor, and the second diode D2, forming positive feedback to complete self-locking. At this time, if the current signal disappears, the circuit is also in a self-locking protection state. The voltage at the seventh end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 7th pin, is another way to flow to the first transistor Q1 through the eighth resistor R8, i.e. a current-limiting resistor, so that the first transistor Q1 is positively biased and turned on. After the first transistor Q1 is turned on, +12V forms a loop through the first transistor Q1 to the ground through the relay coil, so that the relay K1 is attracted and disconnected, and the normally closed contact of the relay is powered off.

[0038] At this time, the circuit overcurrent fault is eliminated. The overcurrent reset switch S1 is closed, and the voltage of +5V is divided by the fifteenth resistor R15 and the seventeenth resistor R17 to obtain a voltage of about 4.5V, which is sent to the thirteenth end of the fourth operational amplifier, i.e. the 13th pin, and the voltage of 2.5V at the twelfth end, i.e. the 12th pin. Since the voltage at the thirteenth end is greater than the voltage at the twelfth end, the fourteenth end of the fourth operational amplifier, i.e. the 14th pin, outputs a low level voltage of 0V, which is sent to the fifth end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 5th pin, through the sixth diode D6 and the sixteenth resistor R16, i.e. a current-limiting resistor, to lower the voltage at the 5th pin to about 0.1V. At this time, the voltage at the sixth end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 6th pin, is 2.5V, which is greater than the voltage at the 5th pin, i.e. 0.1V. The voltage at the seventh end of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 7th pin, is a low level voltage of 0V, which is sent to the base of the first transistor Q1, i.e. the base, through the eighth resistor R8, i.e. a voltage of 0V. The first transistor Q1 is cut off and closed. The relay K1 is also released to the original initial state due to the loss of power of the relay coil. At this time, the circuit returns to the initial state and waits for the next overcurrent signal trigger.

[0039] The following describes the case when the negative current signal is: When the negative current, i.e. the reverse phase output current, reaches 120A, the voltage at the third output terminal of the current sensor chip IC1, i.e. the 3-pin output, is about 1.3V. At this time, the 3-pin output of the current sensor chip IC1 outputs a stable 1.3V signal through the RC high-frequency filter circuit composed of the sixth resistor R6 and the third capacitor C3. The fifth resistor R5 is a current-limiting resistor.

[0040] The voltage at the ninth terminal of the third operational amplifier, i.e. the 9-pin, and the tenth terminal, i.e. the 10-pin, is compared through the fifth resistor R5 and the ninth resistor R9, i.e. the pull-down resistor. The voltage at the tenth terminal is obtained by dividing the +5V through the fourth resistor R4 and the twelfth resistor R12 to obtain a 1.3V voltage and filtering by the ninth capacitor C9. The fourth diode D4 is a fast reset discharge diode during shutdown.

[0041] If the voltage at the 9-pin of the third operational amplifier is less than the 1.3V voltage at the 10-pin, the eighth terminal of the third operational amplifier, i.e. the 8-pin, outputs a high-level 5V voltage, which is sent to the seventh capacitor through the thirteenth resistor and the fifth diode. The thirteenth resistor is a current-limiting resistor, the fifth diode is a single-phase conduction diode, and the seventh capacitor is a voltage holding capacitor.

[0042] The voltage at the fifth terminal of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 5-pin, and the sixth terminal, i.e. the 6-pin, is compared (the voltage at the 6-pin is obtained by dividing +5V through the seventh resistor R7 and the tenth resistor R10 and filtering by the eighth capacitor C8 to obtain 2.5V). At this time, the voltage at the 5-pin is 5V, which is greater than the voltage at the 6-pin, i.e. 2.5V, so the seventh terminal of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 7-pin, outputs a high-level 5V. One way is to charge the seventh capacitor C7 through the third resistor R3, i.e. the current-limiting resistor, and the second diode D2, forming a positive feedback to complete self-locking. At this time, if the current signal disappears, the circuit is also in a self-locking protection state. The voltage at the seventh terminal of the second operational amplifier, i.e. the 7-pin, is another way to flow to the first transistor Q1 through the eighth resistor R8, i.e. the current-limiting resistor, so that the first transistor Q1 is positively biased and turned on. After the first transistor Q1 is turned on, +12V forms a loop through the first transistor Q1 to the ground through the relay coil, so that the relay K1 is attracted and disconnected, and the normally closed contact of the relay is powered off.

[0043] If the overcurrent fault is cleared, press the overcurrent reset switch S1 to close it. The +5V voltage is divided by the voltage divider resistors R15 (15th resistor) and R17 (17th resistor) to obtain approximately 4.5V, which is then sent to the 13th pin (pin 13) of the fourth operational amplifier for comparison with the 2.5V at the 12th pin (pin 12). Since the voltage at the 13th pin is greater than that at the 12th pin, the 14th pin (pin 14) of the fourth operational amplifier outputs a low level of 0V. This low level is then passed through the 6th diode D6 and the 16th resistor R16 (current limiting resistor), pulling the voltage at the 5th pin of the second operational amplifier down to approximately 0.1V. At this point, the 2.5V at the 6th pin of the second operational amplifier is greater than the 0.1V at the 5th pin, and the 7th pin of the second operational amplifier outputs a low level of 0V. This low level is then passed through the 8th resistor R8 to the base of the first transistor Q1, where the base voltage is 0V. The first transistor Q1 is then cut off, and the relay K1 is released to its initial state due to the de-energization of its coil. At this point, the circuit returns to its initial state and waits for the next overcurrent signal to trigger.

[0044] The first operational amplifier is model LM324AD.

[0045] The current sensor chip is model ACS772ECB-200B-FFF-T.

[0046] In this invention, one end of the positive current comparison circuit and the negative current comparison circuit are respectively connected to the positive and negative current detection circuit, and the other end is respectively connected to the level self-locking circuit and the overcurrent reset circuit. The overcurrent reset circuit is also connected to the level self-locking circuit. The level self-locking circuit is connected to the control output circuit. The power supply circuit supplies power to the other circuits. The positive and negative current detection circuit is used to detect whether the current is positive or negative.

[0047] If the current is positive and the output voltage is greater than the preset value, the positive current is compared by the positive current comparison circuit and a high-level voltage is output. At this time, the level self-locking circuit forms positive feedback to complete self-locking. The relay of the control output circuit is energized and disconnected, and the normally closed contact of the relay is de-energized. When the overcurrent fault in the circuit is cleared, the overcurrent reset switch is closed. The relay coil of the control output circuit is de-energized, causing the relay to release to its initial state. At this point, the circuit returns to its initial state, waiting for the next overcurrent signal to trigger.

[0048] If the negative current and the output voltage is greater than the preset value, the negative current is compared by the negative current comparison circuit and outputs a high voltage, at this time, the level self-locking circuit forms positive feedback to complete self-locking, the relay coil of the control output circuit loses power, and the relay releases to the original initial state. At this time, the circuit returns to the initial state, and waits for the next overcurrent signal trigger.

[0049] The application processes the overcurrent signal by a high-speed operational amplifier, and performs power-off protection by self-locking circuit and driving relay, which can prevent the damage of equipment caused by positive and negative current overcurrent, and plays a role in protecting the positive and negative DC electrical equipment.

[0050] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and substitutions can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
