[0003] Currently, diesel engines are equipped with 24V DC generators. Some high-power generators do not integrate an excitation circuit inside, so an external excitation circuit is required to make the generator generate electricity normally. A common simple load is connected in series with the excitation coil, or the vehicle controller is used to give a rated current to the excitation coil of the generator to start the generator. The problems existing in the existing methods are as follows: 1. The reliability is not high, and when the engine is not running, the excitation coil is always in the energized state, with a power consumption of about 1W, which affects the service life of the circuit and consumes the power of the battery. 2. An additional controller is required, resulting in too high a cost. Summary of the Invention

[0016] One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the 24V power supply. The other end of the resistor R1 is electrically connected to one end of the light-emitting diode DL1. The other end of the light-emitting diode DL1 is electrically connected to pin 1 of the optocoupler U1.

The other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the E+ terminal. The capacitor C1 is respectively connected to one end of the diode D1 and the zener diode D2. The other end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the ground terminal. The other end of the diode D1 is connected to the 14V power supply. The other end of the zener diode D2 is respectively connected to the resistor R2, pin 3 of the optocoupler U1, and one end of the relay K1. The other end of the resistor R2 is connected to pin 1 of the optocoupler U2. The other end of the relay K1 is connected to pin 3 of the optocoupler U2. Pin 4 of the optocoupler U2 is connected to the ground terminal. One end of the diode D3 is connected to pin 4 of the optocoupler U1. The other end of the diode D3 is connected to one end of the resistor R5. One end of the resistor R5, one end of the resistor R4, and one end of the capacitor C2 are connected. The base of the triode Q1 is respectively connected to the other end of the resistor R4 and one end of the resistor R6. The other end of the capacitor C2, the other end of the resistor R6, and the emitter of the triode Q1 are respectively connected to the ground terminal. Figure 2 The 14V power supply terminal in Figure 1 is electrically connected to the W terminal of the generator in Figure 2 The 24V power supply terminal of the excitation circuit of the airborne 24V generator in Figure 1 is electrically connected to the B+ terminal of the generator in Figure 2 and both are electrically connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Figure 1 The ground terminal in Figure 2 is electrically connected to the B- terminal of the generator in Figure 1 and both are electrically connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

[0017] The working process of its generator and excitation circuit is as follows:

[0018] When the vehicle power supply is energized, the positive pole of the 24V battery power supply forms a loop as follows: the positive pole of the 24V battery power supply - resistor R1 - light-emitting diode DL1 - optocoupler U1 - resistor R3 - the internal excitation coil L4 of the generator - the negative pole of the battery. In this loop, due to the current limiting of resistor R1, the current passing through the excitation coil L4 is very small, only 14mA, and the internal excitation coil L4 of the generator does not work.

[0019] When the generator starts to operate, the W terminal of the generator inputs an AC power supply from the 14V power supply terminal of the excitation circuit. After being rectified and filtered by diode D1 and capacitor C1, it becomes 14V DC power. After being regulated by a zener diode, it becomes a 12VDC stable power supply. At this time, the current forms the following three loops:

[0020] The first loop: the triode terminal of optocoupler U1 - diode D3 - resistor R5 charges capacitor C2 - after resistors R4 and R6 divide the voltage, triode Q1 conducts.

[0021] The second loop: the current passes through resistor R2 - the light-emitting diode of optocoupler U2 - triode Q1 - ground wire to form a loop, and optocoupler U2 conducts.

[0022] The third loop: the relay K1 coil - optocoupler U2 - ground wire, the relay K1 works, the contacts close, and the 24V power supply outputs a 150mA current to supply power to the excitation coil L4 after being current-limited by resistor R3, and the excitation coil starts to work.

[0023] In this way, the voltages at both ends of the light-emitting diode DL1 are equal, the diode does not conduct, and the output terminal of the optocoupler U1 is cut off. Capacitor C2 discharges through resistors R4 and R6, maintaining the conduction of triode Q1 for about two seconds. After capacitor C2 discharges completely, triode Q1 cuts off, optocoupler U2 cuts off, the relay K1 resets, and the relay K1 contacts disconnect, completing the excitation work.

[0024] At this time, the generator generates electricity normally, and the E+ terminal is the same as the 24V voltage. The light-emitting diode DL1 does not work. At this time, the entire excitation circuit stops working. If the generator still does not generate electricity normally, the excitation circuit will restart until the generator can generate electricity normally. After the vehicle is powered on and the generator does not work, the light-emitting diode DL1 will always be on, playing a warning role, and the power consumption is about 0.3W.

[0025] In some embodiments, the regulated voltage value of the zener diode D2 is 12V; the capacitance of the capacitors C1 and C2 is 100UF, and the maximum voltage is 35V. The models of the optocouplers U1 and U2 are both PC817; the model of the triode Q1 is 1N555; the resistance values of the resistors R1 and R2 are both 1.5k ohms, the resistance value of the resistor R3 is 200 ohms, the resistance value of the resistor R4 is 51k ohms, the resistance value of the resistor R5 is 20k ohms, and the resistance value of the resistor R6 is 10k ohms.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described in detail with specific embodiments above, modifications or improvements can be made based on the present invention, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
