[0029] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a DC power supply control circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] Figure 2 A circuit diagram of a DC power supply control circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] This invention provides a DC power supply control circuit that can solve the technical problems in existing DC power supply circuits where DC power supply voltage fluctuations affect the normal operation of the load and load current fluctuations affect the service life of the DC power supply.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a DC power supply control circuit, including a voltage regulator circuit and a switching circuit.

[0035] The voltage regulator circuit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first Zener diode D1. The first terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the second resistor R2. The second terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the cathode of the first Zener diode D1, and the anode of the first Zener diode D1 is grounded.

[0036] The switching circuit includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a MOSFET U1. The first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R3 and the drain (D) end of the MOSFET U1, and the second end is connected to the gate (G) end of the MOSFET U1. The first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second end of the third resistor R3, and the second end is grounded. The source (S) end of the MOSFET U1 is used to connect to the load.

[0037] Specifically, the DC power supply is input at the positive terminal Vin, with a typical Vin voltage of 24V. After passing through the first resistor R1, and then through the first resistor R2 and the first Zener diode D1, the voltage across the first resistor R1 is suppressed within the characteristic voltage regulation range of the first Zener diode D1 due to its voltage regulation characteristics. The first Zener diode D1 is typically rated at 16V, with an effective voltage regulation range of Vmin: 15.3V / Vnom: 16.0V / Vmax: 17.2V. The first resistor R1 mitigates the voltage and current surges of the input voltage on the subsequent switching circuit. Its resistance is typically around 20Ω, with a power rating of approximately 1 / 2W or 1W. When the Vin voltage experiences a sharp rise, it effectively suppresses the impact of voltage fluctuations, acting as a buffer.

[0038] Furthermore, the input voltage at the drain (D) terminal of the MOSFET U1 is limited to the range of 15.3V to 17.2V. Optionally, the MOSFET U1 can be an N-type MOSFET. The voltage at the downstream end of the first resistor R1 is output to the gate (G) terminal of the MOSFET U1 through the resistor R3. When the gate terminal of the MOSFET U1 is set to a high level, the MOSFET U1 is in the conducting state. The voltage at the drain terminal of the MOSFET U1 is transferred to the source (S) terminal of the MOSFET U1 and finally output to the Vout terminal to supply power to the load. In addition, when the load current fluctuates, due to the inherent characteristics of the MOSFET U1, the load current fluctuation will not affect the DC power supply before the switching circuit, ensuring the service life of the DC power supply.

[0039] The DC power supply control circuit in this embodiment of the invention includes a voltage regulator circuit and a switching circuit. The voltage regulator circuit includes a first Zener diode, whose voltage regulation characteristics can control the output voltage of the DC power supply within a specific required range. Even if the DC power supply voltage fluctuates, it minimizes the impact on the voltage supplied to the load, ensuring the load operates normally. The switching circuit includes a MOSFET, whose drain (D) and source (S) terminals are connected to the DC power supply and the load, respectively. When the load current fluctuates, it minimizes the impact on the output current of the DC power supply, ensuring the lifespan of the DC power supply.

[0040] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit further includes a pre-stage filter circuit, which is located between the DC power supply and the voltage regulator circuit. The pre-stage filter circuit filters the voltage output from the DC power supply and outputs it to the voltage regulator circuit, minimizing the AC component in the pulsating DC voltage, suppressing multi-frequency noise to a certain extent, retaining its DC component, reducing the output voltage ripple coefficient, and making the voltage output to the voltage regulator circuit smoother.

[0041] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, the pre-stage filter circuit includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. The first terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the second terminal is grounded. The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the second terminal is grounded. Optionally, the first capacitor C1 is an electrolytic capacitor, which has a very large capacitance per unit volume, strong withstand capability against high ripple voltage, and low cost.

[0042] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit further includes: a first diode D2, the anode of the first diode D2 is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor C1, to ensure the normal flow of current and avoid directional voltage surges.

[0043] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit further includes a post-stage filter circuit, which is located between the switching circuit and the load. The post-stage filter circuit filters the voltage output from the switching circuit before outputting it to the load, minimizing the AC component in the pulsating DC voltage while retaining its DC component, thus reducing the output voltage ripple coefficient and making the output voltage to the load smoother.

[0044] Further, see Figure 2As shown, the subsequent filter circuit includes a third capacitor C3 and a fourth capacitor C4. The first terminal of the third capacitor is connected to the source (S) terminal of the MOSFET, and the second terminal is grounded. The first terminal of the fourth capacitor is connected to the source (S) terminal of the MOSFET, and the second terminal is grounded. Optionally, the third capacitor C3 is an electrolytic capacitor, which has a very large capacitance per unit volume, strong ability to withstand large ripple voltages, and low cost.

[0045] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit further includes a second Zener diode D3. The cathode of the second Zener diode D3 is connected to the second terminal of the fourth resistor R4, and the anode of the second Zener diode D3 is grounded. The parameters of the second Zener diode D3 can be the same as those of the first Zener diode D1. On the one hand, the second Zener diode D3 can stabilize the voltage at the gate (G) terminal of the MOSFET U1, preventing the voltage at the G terminal of the MOSFET U1 from becoming too high. On the other hand, when the first Zener diode D1 fails, the second Zener diode D3 also provides a certain degree of redundancy protection, ensuring that the voltage at the drain (D) terminal of the MOSFET U1 is within the required range.

[0046] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit further includes a fifth capacitor C5, the first end of which is connected to the gate (G) terminal of the MOSFET U1, and the second end is grounded. The fifth capacitor C5 can filter out multi-band noise voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET U1, ensuring the normal operation of the MOSFET U1.

[0047] This invention provides a self-stabilizing holding device, including the aforementioned DC power supply control circuit. See also... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the DC power supply control circuit includes a voltage regulator circuit and a switching circuit.

[0048] The voltage regulator circuit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first Zener diode D1. The first terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the second resistor R2. The second terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the cathode of the first Zener diode D1, and the anode of the first Zener diode D1 is grounded.

[0049] The switching circuit includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a MOSFET U1. The first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R3 and the drain (D) end of the MOSFET, and the second end is connected to the gate (G) end of the MOSFET U1. The first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second end of the third resistor R3, and the second end is grounded. The source (S) end of the MOSFET U1 is used to connect to the load.

[0050] Specifically, the DC power supply is input at the positive terminal Vin, with a typical Vin voltage of 24V.

Its resistance is typically around 20Ω, with a power rating of approximately 1 / 2W or 1W. When the Vin voltage experiences a sharp rise, it effectively suppresses the impact of voltage fluctuations, acting as a buffer.

[0051] Furthermore, the input voltage at the drain (D) terminal of the MOSFET U1 is limited to the range of 15.3V to 17.2V. Optionally, the MOSFET U1 can be an N-type MOSFET. The voltage at the downstream end of the first resistor R1 is output to the gate (G) terminal of the MOSFET U1 through the resistor R3. When the gate terminal of the MOSFET U1 is set to a high level, the MOSFET U1 is in the conducting state. The voltage at the drain terminal of the MOSFET U1 is transferred to the source (S) terminal of the MOSFET U1 and finally output to the Vout terminal to supply power to the load. In addition, when the load current fluctuates, due to the inherent characteristics of the MOSFET U1, the load current fluctuation will not affect the DC power supply before the switching circuit, ensuring the service life of the DC power supply.
