Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a signal output protection circuit of a safety detection device. Background Art

[0002] Safety detection equipment is a safety control device that is mainly used in mechanical equipment or industrial equipment to protect operators from mechanical or electrical hazards that may cause harm. Common safety detection equipment includes safety gratings, 3D cameras, and electromagnetic door locks. Taking safety gratings as an example, it usually consists of a series of photoelectric sensors (photodiodes) installed around the machine, which emit a light beam and stop or make the equipment safe when it detects that the beam is blocked. Safety detection equipment achieves safety control by monitoring the position of people or objects in the working area of ​​the equipment, thereby preventing operators from approaching dangerous areas or unsafe incidents from occurring during equipment operation.

[0003] When an operator approaches a dangerous area, the safety detection equipment can output a danger signal to the host computer, and the host computer will then output a stop command to the equipment to shut down. If the installer connects the signal output line incorrectly, for example, when the signal line outputs a high level and is grounded, the current will be too large; when the output low level is mistakenly connected to a high voltage, the current will also be too large, which will burn out the transistors in the output circuit and cause a safety accident.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5The present invention proposes a signal output protection circuit of a safety detection device, comprising a high-level module 100 and a low-level module 200 connected in parallel between a signal input terminal and a signal output terminal. The high-level module 100 comprises a first switch tube Q1, a second switch tube Q2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2 and a first current limiting unit 110. The base of the first switch tube Q1 is connected to the signal input terminal, the emitter is connected to the ground terminal, the collector is connected to the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply through the first resistor R1, and the collector is also connected to the base of the second switch tube Q2 through the second resistor R2; the collector of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the signal output terminal; the first current limiting unit 110 is connected to the base, emitter and the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply of the second switch tube Q2, and is used to limit the current from the high-level module 100 to the signal output terminal. The low-level module 200 includes a third switch tube Q3, a fourth switch tube Q4, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4 and a second current limiting unit 210. The base of the third switch tube Q3 is connected to the signal input end, the emitter is connected to the ground end, the collector is connected to the positive end of the signal output side power supply +24V via the third resistor R3, and the collector is also connected to the base of the fourth switch tube Q4 via the fourth resistor R4; the collector of the fourth switch tube Q4 is connected to the signal output end; the second current limiting unit 210 is connected to the base, emitter and ground end of the fourth switch tube Q4, and is used to limit the current from the signal output end to the low-level module 200.

[0034] In a specific implementation, the main control device of the safety detection device outputs a signal, which is transmitted to other signal receiving devices via the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device. The main control device of the safety detection device has a different power supply than other signal receiving devices. As an example, the signal output by the main control device of the safety detection device may be a pulse signal with a limited period and a limited width.

[0035] When the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection equipment receives a high-level signal, the first switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 of the high-level module 100 are both turned on, the second switch tube Q2 of the low-level module 200 is turned on, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is turned off. At this time, the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply can output current to the signal output end through the first current limiting unit 110 and the second switch tube Q2. The first current limiting unit 110 is used to limit the conduction current of the second switch tube Q2, and then limit the output current provided to the signal output end, which can prevent the switch tube device from being burned due to a large current generated when the signal output end is mistakenly grounded.

[0036] When the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection equipment receives a low-level signal, the first switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 of the high-level module 100 are both turned off, the second switch tube Q2 of the low-level module 200 is turned off, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is turned on. At this time, there is no output current at the signal output end. If the level of the external connection of the signal output end is high, an external current flows from the signal output end and flows to the ground end through the fourth switch tube Q4 and the second current limiting unit 210. The second current limiting unit 210 is used to limit the conduction current of the fourth switch tube Q4, which can prevent the switch tube device from being burned by a large current generated when the signal output end is mistakenly connected to a high level.

[0037] The embodiment of the present invention is a push-pull output form with a fast switching speed and a strong driving capability for both high-level and low-level signal outputs. By setting the first current limiting unit 110 and the second current limiting unit 210, the problem of low fault tolerance of the output signal circuit of the existing safety detection equipment and easy device damage is overcome, thereby improving the fault tolerance and safety of the use of the safety detection equipment.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first switch tube Q1, the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are all NPN tubes, and the second switch tube Q2 is a PNP tube.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first current limiting unit 110 includes a fifth switch tube Q5 and a fifth resistor R5; the base of the fifth switch tube Q5 is connected to the emitter of the second switch tube Q2, the collector is connected to the base of the second switch tube Q2, and the emitter is connected to the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply; the two ends of the fifth resistor R5 are respectively connected to the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply and the emitter of the second switch tube Q2; the fifth switch tube Q5 is a PNP tube.

[0040] In a specific implementation, when the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device receives a high-level signal, if the load current output from the signal output end becomes larger, causing the voltage of the fifth resistor R5 to exceed 0.7V, the fifth switch tube Q5 will be turned on, thereby lowering the base voltage of the second switch tube Q2, reducing the current output by the second switch tube Q2, so that the voltage across the fifth resistor R5 can be constant at 0.7V. Since the voltage across the fifth resistor R5 is constant at 0.7V, the current of the fifth resistor R5 is also constant, so that the maximum current output from the signal output end is constant, and the specific current size can be adjusted by the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5. By limiting the maximum current output from the signal output end, the second switch tube Q2 can be prevented from being burned due to excessive conduction current.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The second current limiting unit 210 includes a sixth switch tube Q6 and a sixth resistor R6; the base of the sixth switch tube Q6 is connected to the emitter of the fourth switch tube Q4, the collector is connected to the base of the fourth switch tube Q4, and the emitter is connected to the ground; the two ends of the sixth resistor R6 are respectively connected to the emitter of the fourth switch tube Q4 and the ground; the sixth switch tube Q6 is an NPN tube.

[0042] In a specific implementation, when the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device receives a low-level signal, if the current flowing into the signal output end from the outside increases, causing the voltage of the sixth resistor R6 to exceed 0.7V, the sixth switch tube Q6 will be turned on, thereby lowering the base voltage of the fourth switch tube Q4, reducing the current output by the fourth switch tube Q4, so that the voltage across the sixth resistor R6 can be constant at 0.7V. Since the voltage across the sixth resistor R6 is constant at 0.7V, the current of the sixth resistor R6 is also constant, so that the maximum current flowing through the fourth switch tube Q4 is constant, and the specific current size can be adjusted by the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6. By limiting the maximum current, the fourth switch tube Q4 can be prevented from being burned due to excessive conduction current.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The high level module 100 includes a first reverse polarity protection unit 120, which is arranged in a branch from the collector of the second switch tube Q2 to the signal output end; the low level module 200 includes a second reverse polarity protection unit 220, which is arranged in a branch from the collector of the fourth switch tube Q4 to the signal output end.

[0044] In a specific implementation, the first reverse polarity protection unit 120 and the second reverse polarity protection unit 220 are used to prevent the current reversely input from the signal output terminal from damaging the circuit device.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The first reverse polarity protection unit 120 is a first Schottky diode D1, the anode of the first Schottky diode D1 is connected to the collector of the second switch tube Q2, and the cathode is connected to the signal output end; the second reverse polarity protection unit 220 is a second Schottky diode D2, the cathode of the second Schottky diode D2 is connected to the collector of the fourth switch tube Q4, and the anode is connected to the signal output end.

[0046] In a specific implementation, when the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device receives a high-level signal, the positive terminal +24V of the signal output side power supply can output current to the signal output end through the first current limiting unit 110, the second switch tube Q2 and the first Schottky diode D1. At this time, if there is a current input in reverse from the signal output end, it will be blocked by the first Schottky diode D1; when the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device receives a low-level signal, if there is a current input in reverse from the signal output end, it will flow to the ground end through the second Schottky diode D2 and the fourth switch tube Q4.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the first reverse polarity protection unit 120 and the second reverse polarity protection unit 220 may also be configured as ordinary diodes.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The high-level module 100 includes a first overcurrent protection unit 130, which is arranged in a branch from the collector of the second switch tube Q2 to the signal output end; the low-level module 200 includes a second overcurrent protection unit 230, which is arranged in a branch from the collector of the fourth switch tube Q4 to the signal output end.

[0049] In a specific implementation, during the control dead zone, the second switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 may be turned on at the same time, which will cause excessive current. The first overcurrent protection unit 130 and the second overcurrent protection unit 230 will be disconnected when the current exceeds the limit, thereby protecting other circuit components.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The first over-current protection unit 130 is a zero-ohm resistor R7, and the second over-current protection unit 230 is a resistor F2.

[0051] When the signal input end of the signal output protection circuit of the safety detection device receives a high level signal, a load current will flow through the first overcurrent protection unit 130. The first overcurrent protection unit 130 uses a zero-ohm resistor to avoid residual voltage drop and reduce power loss. The zero-ohm resistor will fuse when the current exceeds the limit to protect other circuit components.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the first overcurrent protection unit 130 and the second overcurrent protection unit 230 are both resistance wires.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4The signal output protection circuit of the safety detection equipment also includes a feedback acquisition module 300 connected to the signal output terminal OSSD. The feedback acquisition module 300 includes an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9 and a Zener diode D3. The cathode of the Zener diode D3 is connected to the signal output terminal through the eighth resistor R8, and the anode is connected to the ground terminal. The ninth resistor R9 is connected in parallel to both ends of the Zener diode D3. The cathode of the Zener diode D3 serves as the signal feedback terminal FK_OSSD.

[0054] In a specific implementation, when the signal output terminal OSSD outputs current or receives current flowing in, the signal feedback terminal FK_OSSD can output a feedback signal of a set level to the main control device of the safety detection device. The level of the feedback signal can be set by the voltage regulator diode D3.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , further comprising a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11 and a twelfth resistor R12, the tenth resistor R10 being connected between the base of the first switch tube Q1 and the signal input terminal SC, the eleventh resistor R11 being connected between the base of the third switch tube Q3 and the signal input terminal SC, one end of the twelfth resistor R12 being connected to the signal input terminal, and the other end being connected to the ground terminal (such as Figure 4 as shown) or the positive power supply terminal MCU_VCC on the signal input side (as shown Figure 5 shown).

[0056] In a specific implementation, the tenth resistor R10 is used to limit the base current of the first switch tube Q1, and the eleventh resistor R11 is used to limit the base current of the third switch tube Q3. The twelfth resistor R12 is used to set the initial input level of the circuit at the moment when the device is powered on, and can be connected to the ground terminal (such as Figure 4 ) is set to low level, or connect the positive terminal MCU_VCC of the signal input side power supply (as shown Figure 5 as shown) is set to high level.

[0057] In some embodiments, the safety detection device product can also be provided with two groups of signal output protection circuits of safety detection devices at the same time, and the twelfth resistor R1 of one group is connected to the ground terminal (such as Figure 4 The twelfth resistor R1 of the other group is connected to the positive terminal MCU_VCC of the signal input side power supply (as shown in Figure 5 to be compatible with different initial signal states.
