[0040] After adopting the above scheme, the gain effect of the present invention is as follows:

[0041] The solid-state relay manufacturing method provided by this invention improves production efficiency and reduces costs by separately processing and combining power components and printed circuit board components. In particular, it uses silicone gel for filling. Although silicone gel has excellent properties in all aspects, there is very little research on its application in solid-state relay potting, and there is almost no relevant literature.

[0042] Silicone gel has stable physicochemical properties, is not significantly affected by temperature, and can be used over a wide temperature range. It exhibits excellent electrical insulation properties and resistance to high and low temperatures (-50℃ to 200℃). The system is colorless and transparent, and forms a semi-solid state after curing. It has good adhesion and sealing properties to many substrates. When used as a potting material, it allows for easy observation of the internal structure of the potted component and has excellent resistance to thermal cycling.

[0043] Organosilicon gel can physically adhere to the surfaces of most common electronic devices or other materials without the need to spray adhesive onto the bonding surface before curing. No byproducts are generated during the curing process, and there is no shrinkage. It can be cured at room temperature or by heating, and the curing speed increases with higher temperatures. Compared to liquid epoxy resin, which requires baking, this invention improves production efficiency, is suitable for mass production, and has good self-healing ability. The gel is not easy to crack after being stretched by external forces, and it also plays a role in waterproofing and moisture protection without affecting the use effect.

[0044] Due to its high purity and exceptional softness, silicone gel can protect highly sensitive devices, ensuring that electronic components can function normally even under conditions of significant temperature variations and strong vibrations. In contrast, liquid hydrogen peroxide is hard and not shockproof. Encapsulating electronic components with transparent silicone gel not only provides shock and waterproof protection but also allows for visualization of the components and the detection of faults using probes, enabling replacement. Damaged silicone gel can be re-encapsulated for repair. Solid-state relays manufactured using this method exhibit excellent sealing, thermal conductivity, and reliability, and silicone gel is inexpensive, resulting in relatively low manufacturing costs.

[0045] Secondly, the solid-state relay provided by this invention has a built-in drive circuit, suitable for AC power grid terminal control. The drive circuit uses a photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit to connect the output port of the AC power grid when the AC power grid does not meet the triggering condition of the thyristor self-locking circuit. It also uses a thyristor self-locking circuit to connect the output port of the AC power grid in conjunction with the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit when the triggering condition of the thyristor self-locking circuit is met. Furthermore, a MOSFET discharge circuit is used for rapid discharge to quickly turn off the output port of the AC power grid. This allows the voltage division of R3, R4, and R5 to regulate the opening voltage of the thyristor self-locking circuit, i.e., the zero-crossing voltage of the power grid load. This solid-state relay has guaranteed reliability and can effectively reduce conducted interference. Attached Figure Description

[0097] Solid-state relay working principle:

[0098] The grid voltage is a sinusoidal AC voltage, which is connected to both ends of the drive module. That is, the voltage across the drive circuit is also a sinusoidal AC voltage that changes with time.

[0099] The AC grid is connected to both ends of the AC grid output port. The AC grid provides sinusoidal AC power. When the input port of the control circuit receives external voltage, the control photovoltaic circuit and indicator light circuit are turned on, and the photovoltaic output optocoupler U1 is turned on. At this time, the other end of the photovoltaic output optocoupler U1 will generate an 8V AC voltage.

[0100] When the voltage between the ports of the AC power grid changes to less than the turn-on voltage of the thyristor self-locking circuit, i.e., the zero-crossing voltage: the base potential of the NPN transistor Q1 in the thyristor self-locking circuit is insufficient to turn on the transistor Q1, i.e., the transistor Q1 is turned off. As a result, the gate voltages of MOSFETs F1 and F2 in the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit meet the requirements for MOSFETs F1 and F2 to turn on. The junction voltages at the source and drain ends of MOSFETs F1 and F2 are small and cannot trigger the unidirectional thyristors Q3 and Q4 to turn on. Thyristors Q3 and Q4 are turned off. At this time, the loop current of the driving circuit is provided by the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit, i.e., when the thyristor is turned off, the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit ensures that the loop current does not momentarily become zero.

[0101] When the voltage between the AC grid ports changes to a value greater than or equal to the turn-on voltage of the thyristor self-locking circuit (i.e., zero-crossing voltage): the base potential of the NPN transistor Q1 in the thyristor self-locking circuit satisfies the condition that transistor Q1 enters the conduction state, i.e., transistor Q1 is turned on. This causes the gate voltage of MOSFETs F1 and F2 in the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit to be insufficient for MOSFETs F1 and F2 to turn on. The junction voltage at the source and drain ends of MOSFETs F1 and F2 is sufficient to trigger the unidirectional thyristors Q3 and Q4 to turn on. When thyristors Q3 and Q4 are turned on, the loop current of the driving circuit is provided by the thyristor self-locking circuit, i.e., the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit does not provide loop current when the thyristor is turned on.

[0102] In summary, the output voltage of the AC grid is a sinusoidal AC current, which changes periodically to be less than the zero-crossing voltage and greater than or equal to the AC voltage. The photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit and the thyristor self-locking circuit also provide loop current alternately periodically. Compared with only the thyristor self-locking circuit providing current, the loop current changes more smoothly with the AC grid voltage.

[0103] In this invention, resistors R3, R4, and R5 in the thyristor self-locking circuit act as zero-crossing resistors, determining the level of the thyristor self-locking circuit's turn-on voltage, i.e., the zero-crossing voltage. Resistors R6 and R7 control the magnitude of the thyristor's conduction current. This can prevent the solid-state relay from jumping due to interference when it conducts at the zero-crossing point, thereby reducing conducted electromagnetic interference.

[0104] The diode D5 in the control circuit protects the control circuit from reverse connection.

[0105] The function of the TVS transistor T1 in the photovoltaic MOSFET response circuit is that when there is a surge voltage at the output terminals and the voltage exceeds the operating voltage of the TVS, the TVS will activate, triggering the thyristor at the output terminals to conduct, thus preventing the thyristor from being damaged due to overvoltage and providing protection.

[0106] The function of the varistor MOV1 in the filter circuit is to activate when there is a surge voltage at the output terminals, and the surge voltage exceeds the operating voltage of the varistor. The varistor absorbs the energy of the surge voltage and converts it into heat, thus preventing overvoltage breakdown of the forward and reverse modules and providing protection. The capacitor C2 and resistor R14 are connected in series to form an RC absorption circuit, which protects the unidirectional thyristors Q3 and Q4 in the unidirectional thyristor circuit. In order to suppress the impact of the instantaneous voltage change dV / dt on the devices in the circuit, in an inductive load, if the magnetic flux of the inductive load is not zero at the moment the switching device is turned off, a self-induced electromotive force will be generated according to Lenz's law, which stores energy in the external magnetic field. For simplicity, an RC absorption circuit is used to dissipate this energy as heat.

[0107] The rapid discharge of resistor R13 and diode D6 in the discharge circuit enables the circuit to be turned off quickly.

[0108] In the thyristor self-locking circuit, diode D2 serves as reverse protection for transistor Q1, and resistor R3 acts as a voltage divider for transistor Q1 in the circuit.

[0109] In summary, the driving circuit provided by this invention uses a photovoltaic MOSFET response loop to connect the output port of the AC power grid when the AC power grid does not meet the triggering conditions of the thyristor self-locking circuit, thus providing loop current. The driving circuit also uses a thyristor self-locking circuit to connect the output port of the AC power grid when the AC power grid meets the triggering conditions of the thyristor self-locking circuit, in conjunction with the photovoltaic MOSFET response loop, thus providing loop current. Furthermore, the driving circuit uses a MOSFET discharge loop for rapid discharge to quickly turn off the output port of the AC power grid. It also uses a filter loop to reduce electromagnetic interference. The solid-state relay provided by this invention has the advantages of the above driving circuits and can be used in applications with EMI requirements. The solid-state relay also uses a control loop to cooperate with the above driving circuits, ensuring safety and reliability. Finally, the driving circuit and solid-state relay provided by this invention utilize the voltage division of resistors R3, R4, and R5 to adjust the turn-on voltage (zero-crossing voltage) of the thyristor self-locking circuit.
