[0029] Figure 1 A circuit diagram of a load control device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a load control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used in a microwave oven, comprising: an MCU chip 102; a drive circuit 104, wherein the drive circuit 104 is an integrated circuit chip, comprising: a control module 1042, wherein an input end of the control module 1042 is connected to a first output end of the MCU chip 102; a door signal detection module 1044, wherein a first input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to a door switch of the microwave oven, a second input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to a second output end of the MCU chip 102, and a third input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to a second output end of the control module 1042. The first output end of the gate signal detection module 1044 is connected to the MCU chip 102, and the gate signal detection module 1044 includes a logic gate control circuit 10442; a first load driving circuit 1046, the input end of the first load driving circuit 1046 is connected to the second output end of the gate signal detection module 1044, and the output end of the first load driving circuit 1046 is connected to the first load through a first relay; a second load driving circuit 1048, the input end of the second load driving circuit 1048 is connected to the output end of the control module 1042, and the output end of the second load driving circuit 1048 is connected to the second load through a second relay.

[0031] Specifically, the load control device 100 is used in a microwave oven, and is composed of an MCU chip 102 and a drive circuit 104 , wherein the drive circuit 104 includes: a control module 1042 , a door signal detection module 1044 , a second load drive circuit 1048 and a first load drive circuit 1046 .

[0032] Among them, the input end of the second load driving circuit 1048 is connected to the output end of the control module 1042, and the input end of the control module 1042 is connected to the first output end of the MCU chip 102, so the second load driving circuit 1048 is controlled by the output signal from the MCU chip 102 through the control module 1042.

[0033] The input end of the first load driving circuit 1046 is connected to the second output end of the door signal detection module 1044, and the first input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to the door switch of the microwave oven, the second input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to the second output end of the MCU chip 102, and the third input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to the second output end of the control module 1042.

[0036] That is to say, the MCU chip 102 controls the third relay of the third load to close or open.

When the control signal of the MCU chip 102 is a high-level signal, it is input to the third load driving circuit 10410, and the third load driving circuit 10410 outputs a low-level signal to drive the third relay to close.

[0037] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, optionally, the number of the first load driving circuits 1046 is one or more that can be increased or decreased, and each of the first load driving circuits 1046 drives a corresponding first load; the number of the second load driving circuits 1048 is one or more that can be increased or decreased, and each of the second load driving circuits 1048 drives a corresponding second load; the number of the third load driving circuits 10410 is one or more that can be increased or decreased, and each of the third load driving circuits 10410 drives a corresponding third load.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the door signal detection module 1044 also includes a first transistor Q12, the collector of the first transistor Q12 is connected to the MCU chip via a first resistor R22 as a first output end of the door signal detection module 1044, and the emitter of the first transistor Q12 is grounded; a second transistor Q13, the collector of the second transistor Q13 is grounded via a second resistor R20 and a third resistor R21 connected in series, wherein the base of the first transistor Q12 is connected to a connection point between the second resistor R20 and the third resistor R21, the base of the second transistor Q13 is connected to a power supply end via a fourth resistor R23, the base of the second transistor Q13 is connected to the door switch of the microwave oven via a fifth resistor R24 ​​as a first input end of the door signal detection module 1044, the emitter of the second transistor Q13 is also connected to the power supply end, and the emitter of the second transistor Q13 is also connected to the collector of the first transistor Q12 and the logic gate control circuit 10442 via a sixth resistor R29.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the specific structure of the logic gate control circuit 10442 is described below.

[0041] The gate signal detection module 1044 includes a logic gate control circuit 10442, and the logic gate control circuit 10442 has a first input terminal, a second input terminal and a third input terminal, wherein the first input terminal of the logic gate control circuit 10442 is connected to the collector of the first transistor Q12; the second input terminal of the logic gate control circuit 10442 is connected to the second output terminal of the MCU chip 102 as the second input terminal of the gate signal detection module 1044; the third input terminal of the logic gate control circuit 10442 is connected to the output terminal of the control module 1042 as the third input terminal of the gate signal detection module 1044; the output terminal of the logic gate control circuit 10442 is connected to the first load driving circuit 1046 as the second output terminal of the gate signal detection module 1044.

[0042] The logic gate control circuit 10442 includes: an OR gate 104422, wherein the first input end of the OR gate 104422 is connected to the first input end of the gate signal detection module 1044 as the first input end of the logic gate control circuit 10442, and the second input end of the OR gate 104422 is connected to the output end of the control module 1042 via a first inverter 104426 as the third input end of the gate signal detection module 1044; an NOR gate 104424, wherein the first input end of the NOR gate 104424 is connected to the output end of the OR gate 104422, and the second input end of the NOR gate 104424 is connected to the second output end of the MCU chip 102 via a second inverter 104428 as the second input end of the gate signal detection module 1044, and the output end of the NOR gate 104424 is connected to the input end of the first load driving circuit 1048 as the second output end of the gate signal detection module 1044.

[0043] The principle of the load control device 100 is described in detail below through the above circuit connection relationship.

[0044] The first input end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to the door switch of the microwave oven, and can receive the signal from the door switch. When the door switch is opened, an opening signal is received through the first input end of the door signal detection module 1044, and it is converted into a high-level signal. The high-level signal is output to the OR gate 104422 of the logic gate control circuit 10442. For the OR gate 104422, no matter whether the input of the OR gate 104422 is a high-level signal or a low-level signal, its output is a high-level signal, and the high-level signal enters the NOR gate 104424, and the NOR gate 104424 is connected to the first load driving circuit via the first relay. For the NOR gate 104424, no matter whether the input of the NOR gate 104424 is a high-level signal or a low-level signal, its output is a low-level signal, and the low-level signal is finally input to the first relay, and the first relay is disconnected according to the low-level signal, and the first load is controlled to enter the closed state. It can be seen that when the door switch is opened, the first load driving circuit is only controlled by the door signal detection module 1044.

[0045] When the door switch is closed, a closing signal is received through the first input end of the door signal detection module 1044 and converted into a low-level signal. The first output end of the door signal detection module 1044 is connected to the MCU chip 102, and the MCU chip 102 transmits this low-level signal to the connected control module. When the door switch is closed, the door signal detection module 1044 sends a low-level signal to the MCU chip 102 and the OR gate 104422. The second input end of the OR gate 104422 is connected to the second output end of the control module 1042 through the first inverter 104426, so the OR gate 104422 is also controlled by the control module 1042 at this time. When the control module 1042 outputs a low-level signal, after the first inverter 104426 acts, the OR gate 104422 outputs a high-level signal. When the control module 1042 outputs a high-level signal, after the first inverter 104426 acts, the OR gate 104422 outputs a low-level signal. In addition, the output end of the OR gate 104422 is connected to the first input end of the NOR gate 104424; the NOR gate 104424, the second input end of the NOR gate 104424 is connected to the second output end of the MCU chip 102 via the second inverter 104428, then the output of the NOR gate 104424 is doubly controlled by the output of the OR gate 104422 and the second output end of the MCU chip 102, the output of the NOR gate 104424 controls the opening or closing of the first relay, wherein, when the output of the NOR gate 104424 is a high level signal, the first relay is closed to turn on the first load, and when the output of the NOR gate 104424 is a low level signal, the first relay is opened to disconnect the first load.

[0046] For the second load driving circuit 1048 and the second load, the MCU chip 102 controls the second relay connected to the second load to close or disconnect. Specifically, the MCU chip 102 inputs the received control signal to the control module, so that the control module outputs a high level signal or a low level signal. When the control module outputs a low level signal, the low level signal enters the second load driving circuit 1048, so that the second load driving circuit 1048 outputs a high level, drives the second relay to disconnect, and the second load is turned off. When the control module outputs a high level signal, the high level signal enters the second load driving circuit 1048, so that the second load driving circuit 1048 outputs a low level, drives the second relay to close, and the second load is turned on.

[0047] In the technical solution of the present invention, an OR gate 104422 and a NOR gate 104424 are introduced to control the load driving circuit. The control logic of the OR gate 104422 and the NOR gate 104424 is simple and has little effect on the current in the circuit, which helps to achieve effective control of loads that require high control accuracy.

[0048] In the related technology, the control signal of the MCU chip is input to the input end (gate) of the first load driving circuit, and the second output end of the gate signal detection module is connected to the driving end (source) of the first load driving circuit through the MOS tube. When the first load driving circuit is turned on, the MOS tube will generate a voltage drop, resulting in additional power consumption.

[0049] In the technical solution of the present invention, a logic gate control circuit 10442 is used to connect the input end (gate) of the OR gate 104422 to the first input end of the gate signal detection module 1044. When the first load driving circuit 1046 is turned on, the MOS tube in the gate signal detection module 1044 does not participate in the work, and no voltage drop is generated, so there is no additional power consumption, thereby reducing the useless power consumption of the circuit.

[0050] Specifically, the gate switch VS outputs high and low levels from the DS terminal through two MOS tubes, on the one hand to the MCU chip 102, and on the other hand outputs the signals of the logic gate control circuit 10442 and the control module 1042 and the control signal of the MCU chip 102 to the input terminal (gate) of the first load driving circuit 1046. When the first load driving circuit 1046 is turned on, the MOS tube in the gate signal detection module 1044 does not participate in the work, and there is no voltage drop on it, and there is no voltage drop on the logic gate control circuit 10442, so the power consumption is reduced.

[0051] In one implementation of the present invention, optionally, the control module 1042 only includes: a DC blocking capacitor C; a third transistor Q10, the base of the third transistor Q10 is connected to the DC blocking capacitor C as the input end of the control module 1042 through the seventh resistor R16 and connected to the first output end of the MCU chip 102, and is connected to the power supply end through the eighth resistor R17, the emitter of the third transistor Q10 is also connected to the power supply end, the collector of the third transistor Q10 is connected to the third input end of the gate signal detection module 1044 through the ninth resistor R18 and the tenth resistor R19 connected in series, and the connection point of the ninth resistor R18 and the tenth resistor R19 is connected to the third input end of the gate signal detection module 1044 as the output end of the control module 1042. Among them, the DC blocking capacitor C is external and plays a role in blocking the DC level. Since this control module 1042 only uses an external DC blocking capacitor C, the use of components is reduced as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the control capability, and the circuit cost is simplified.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the number of the second load driving circuits 1048, the number of the first load driving circuits 1046 and the number of the third load driving circuits 10410 are all 2, and the second load driving circuit 1048, the first load driving circuit 1046 and the third load driving circuit 10410 drive the first loads 2a and 2b, the second loads 1a and 1b, and the third loads 3a and 3b respectively. The control method is as follows:

[0053] 1) When the door switch is turned on, the first relay controlling the load 1a is only controlled by the door signal detection module 1044, and is not controlled by the control module 1042 and the MCU chip 102, and is in a disconnected state;

[0054] 2) When the door switch is closed, the load 1a is controlled by the logic gate control circuit 10442 in the door signal detection module 1044, the control module 1042 and the MCU chip 102, and the logic is shown in Table 1 below:

[0055] Table 1

[0056] Control module 1042 output MCU chip 102 input Load 1a status 1 0 closure 0 1 closure 0 0 closure 1 1 Conductivity

[0057] That is, only when the control module 1042 outputs a high level signal and the MCU chip 102 inputs a high level signal, the first relay controlling the load 1a will be turned on, and at other times, the first relay controlling the load 1a is in a disconnected state.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the number of first load driving circuits 1046, the number of second load driving circuits 1048 and the number of third load driving circuits 10410 are 2, 1 and 2 respectively. The first load driving circuit 1046, the second load driving circuit 1048 and the third load driving circuit 10410 drive the first load 1a and 1b, the second load 2a, and the third load 3a and 3b respectively.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of first load driving circuits 1046, the number of second load driving circuits 1048 and the number of third load driving circuits 10410 are 3, 1 and 1 respectively. The first load driving circuit 1046, the second load driving circuit 1048 and the third load driving circuit 10410 drive the first loads 1a, 1b and 1c, the second load 2a and the third load 3a respectively.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the number of first load driving circuits 1046, the number of second load driving circuits 1048 and the number of third load driving circuits 10410 are 3, 1 and 3 respectively. The first load driving circuit 1046, the second load driving circuit 1048 and the third load driving circuit 10410 drive the first load 1a, 1b and 1c, the second load 2a, and the third load 3a, 3b and 3c respectively.

[0061] exist Figures 1 to 5 In any of the illustrated embodiments, the second load driving circuit 1048 , the first load driving circuit 1046 , and the third load driving circuit 10410 are Darlington transistor driving circuits.

[0062] The Darlington tube is also called a composite tube. Two transistors are connected in series to form an equivalent transistor. Take two transistors of the same polarity as an example. The collector of the front transistor is connected to the collector of the back transistor, and the emitter of the front transistor is connected to the base of the back transistor. The power of the front transistor is generally smaller than that of the back transistor. The base of the front transistor is the base of the Darlington tube, and the emitter of the back transistor is the emitter of the Darlington tube. The usage is the same as that of the transistor, and the amplification factor is the product of the amplification factors of the two transistors.
