[0024] In order to fully understand the present invention, detailed structures and steps will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solutions proposed by the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other implementations.

[0025] This embodiment provides a ground continuity detection circuit, which is applied in a charging pile, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a capacitor voltage divider circuit 1, a step-down circuit 2, a photoelectric coupler 3, a pull-up circuit 4 and a control circuit 5; the input end of the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1 is used to connect the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in, and the output end of the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1 is used to output a first divided voltage signal; the step-down circuit 2 is connected to the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1, and is used to step down the first divided voltage signal and output a second divided voltage signal; the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is connected to the protective grounding line PE and the step-down circuit 2, and the output end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is connected to the ground end and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to turn on or off according to the connection state of the second divided voltage signal and the protective grounding line PE; the control circuit 5 is connected to the photoelectric coupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to collect the analog voltage signal corresponding to the connection node between the photoelectric coupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and detect the grounding continuity of the protective grounding line PE according to the analog voltage signal.

[0026] The ground continuity detection circuit is used in a charging pile. The phase line L_in is a single-phase line L_in. The voltage range between the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in is 85V-300V, which is adapted to the global power grid standard.

[0027] As an example, when the charging pile is normally charged and discharged, the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1 divides the voltage between the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in, and outputs a first voltage divider signal. The step-down circuit 2 steps down the first voltage divider signal and outputs a second voltage divider signal to the photoelectric coupler 3 to ensure that the photoelectric coupler 3 can work normally. When the connection state of the protective grounding wire PE at the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is normal, the photoelectric coupler 3 is turned on, and when the connection state of the protective grounding wire PE at the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is abnormal, the photoelectric coupler 3 is cut off. Since the output end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is connected to the ground end and the pull-up circuit 4, the photoelectric coupler 3 generates different analog voltage signals at the connection node between the photoelectric coupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4 in the on and off states, so that the control circuit 5 detects the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE according to the analog voltage signal.

[0028] In this embodiment, the ground continuity detection circuit includes a capacitor voltage divider circuit 1, a step-down circuit 2, a photoelectric coupler 3, a pull-up circuit 4 and a control circuit 5; the input end of the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1 is used to connect the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in, and the output end of the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1 is used to output a first divided voltage signal; the step-down circuit 2 is connected to the capacitor voltage divider circuit 1, and is used to step down the first divided voltage signal and output a second divided voltage signal; the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is connected to the protective ground line PE and the step-down circuit 2, and the output end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is connected to the ground end and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to turn on or off according to the connection state of the second divided voltage signal and the protective ground line PE; the control circuit The circuit 5 is connected to the photoelectric coupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to collect the analog voltage signal corresponding to the connection node between the photoelectric coupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and detect the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE according to the analog voltage signal, so as to detect the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE in real time through the photoelectric coupler 3, and utilize the voltage reduction processing of the voltage reduction circuit 2 and the isolation performance of the photoelectric coupler 3 to improve the dielectric test withstand voltage capability and insulation impedance performance at the same time, and the control circuit 5 detects the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE through the analog voltage signal, and more reliably identifies whether the photoelectric coupler 3 is turned on or off, thereby improving the accuracy of the grounding continuity detection of the protective grounding wire PE.

[0029] In one embodiment, the voltage divider circuit includes a first capacitor circuit 11 and a second capacitor circuit 12; the first end of the first capacitor circuit 11 is used to connect the phase line L_in or the neutral line N_in, and the second end of the first capacitor circuit 11 is connected to the first end of the step-down circuit 2; the second end of the second capacitor circuit 12 is used to connect the neutral line N_in or the phase line L_in, and the second end of the second capacitor circuit 12 is connected to the first end of the step-down circuit 2; the capacitance value presented by the first capacitor circuit 11 is the same as the capacitance value presented by the second capacitor circuit 12.

[0030] As an example, the first capacitor circuit 11 and the second capacitor circuit 12 may include a single capacitor or multiple capacitors respectively, as long as the capacitance value presented by the first capacitor circuit 11 and the capacitance value presented by the second capacitor circuit 12 are the same.

[0031] As an example, the first capacitor circuit 11 includes capacitors CY1 and CY2 connected in series, and the second capacitor circuit 12 includes capacitors CY3 and CY4 connected in series. Capacitors CY1-CY4 are arranged in series between the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in. The rated voltage of each capacitor is ≥2kV, and the total withstand voltage of capacitors CY1-CY4 after being connected in series is ≥8kV, and the capacitance of each capacitor is 2.2nF, and the equivalent capacitance after being connected in series is 1.1nF, which is used to balance the voltage division and suppress common mode interference.

[0032] In this embodiment, the voltage divider circuit includes a first capacitor circuit 11 and a second capacitor circuit 12; the first end of the first capacitor circuit 11 is used to connect the phase line L_in or the neutral line N_in, and the second end of the first capacitor circuit 11 is connected to the first end of the step-down circuit 2; the second end of the second capacitor circuit 12 is used to connect the neutral line N_in or the phase line L_in, and the second end of the second capacitor circuit 12 is connected to the first end of the step-down circuit 2; the capacitance value presented by the first capacitor circuit 11 is the same as the capacitance value presented by the second capacitor circuit 12, so that no matter whether the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in are connected positively or reversely, it can ensure that the second voltage-divided signal received by the input end of the optical coupler can make the optical coupler work normally, solving the problem of misjudgment and high-voltage breakdown caused by the reverse connection of the live wire and the neutral line N_in in the traditional ground continuity detection circuit. At the same time, the circuit for separately detecting the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in is omitted, reducing costs.

[0033] In one embodiment, the step-down circuit 2 includes a resistance circuit; the resistance circuit includes a plurality of resistors, and the plurality of resistors are connected in series and / or in parallel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the voltage reduction process is performed through a resistor circuit, which has a simple structure and low cost.

[0035] As an example, the resistor circuit includes resistors R2, R3, R4 and R5 connected in series, the withstand voltage of a single resistor is ≥1kV, the total withstand voltage of the resistor circuit is ≥4kV, and the total resistance of the resistor circuit is 1.2MΩ, so that the leakage current is ≤0.1mA under 220V AC. Among them, the resistance value of a single resistor is 300kΩ, the rated power is 0.5W, and the resistance change rate of a single resistor is <2% under 85℃ environment to avoid resistance drift and insulation degradation caused by high temperature.

[0036] In this embodiment, the total withstand voltage of the voltage divider circuit in the above embodiment is 8kV (4×2kV), and the total withstand voltage of the resistance circuit is 4kV (4×1kV), so that the ground continuity detection circuit can withstand a 5kV / 60s dielectric test; wherein, under 220V AC, the leakage current of the resistance circuit is only 0.18mA, and after superimposing the capacitive reactance of the voltage divider circuit (1.1nF corresponds to 50Hz capacitive reactance≈2.89MΩ), the total leakage current of the ground continuity detection circuit is <0.1mA, which meets the national / European standard charging equipment safety standards.

[0037] In one embodiment, the photocoupler 3 includes a photodiode and a phototransistor; the anode of the photodiode is connected to the step-down circuit 2, and the cathode of the photodiode is connected to the protective ground line PE; the collector of the phototransistor is connected to the pull-up circuit 4 and the control circuit 5, and the emitter of the phototransistor is connected to the ground terminal.

[0038] As an example, the operating current of the photodiode is designed to be 0.05-0.15 mA, which is adapted to the micro-current characteristics of the high resistance network, that is, the resistance circuit.

[0039] As an example, Figure 2 As shown, the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in are normally connected: the voltage of the phase line L_in is 220V, the voltage of the neutral line N_in is ≈0V, and after the voltage divider circuit divides the voltage and the resistor circuit steps down the voltage, the voltage at the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is ≈1.8V, the photodiode is turned on, and the analog voltage signal is a low level (240mV<0.3V); The phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in are reversely connected: the neutral line N_in is charged with 220V, and the phase line L_in is ≈0V. Due to the anti-reverse connection effect of the voltage divider circuit, that is, the capacitance value presented by the first capacitor circuit 11 of the voltage divider circuit is the same as the capacitance value presented by the second capacitor circuit 12, the voltage at the input end of the photoelectric coupler 3 is still ≈1.8V, and the detection logic remains unchanged.

[0040] When the protective ground wire PE is disconnected, the input current of the photocoupler 3 is zero, the output end of the photocoupler 3 is pulled up to 3.3V by the pull-up circuit 4, the analog voltage signal is high level, and the control circuit 5 triggers an alarm and cuts off the power supply. The pull-up circuit 4 includes a pull-up resistor R1, and the pull-up resistor R1 is connected to the power supply terminal D3.3V.

[0041] When the phase line L_in and the neutral line N_in are connected reversely, the detection accuracy is maintained by a voltage divider circuit.

[0042] In this embodiment, the photocoupler 3 includes a photodiode and a phototransistor; the anode of the photodiode is connected to the step-down circuit 2, and the cathode of the photodiode is connected to the protective ground line PE; the collector of the phototransistor is connected to the pull-up circuit 4 and the control circuit 5, and the emitter of the phototransistor is connected to the ground terminal, thereby achieving electrical isolation while maintaining detection accuracy.

[0043] In one embodiment, the control circuit 5 includes an analog-to-digital conversion circuit and a signal processing circuit; the analog-to-digital conversion circuit is connected to the photocoupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion processing on the analog voltage signal and output a digital voltage signal; the signal processing circuit is connected to the analog-to-digital conversion circuit, and is used to determine that the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is abnormal if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold; if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is less than or equal to the second voltage threshold, it is determined that the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is normal; the second voltage threshold is less than the first voltage threshold.

[0044] As an example, the analog-to-digital conversion circuit is connected to the photocoupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion processing on the analog voltage signal and output a digital voltage signal. The analog-to-digital conversion circuit performs multi-point sampling on the analog voltage signal according to a preset sampling frequency, converts the continuous analog signal into discrete sampling points, and quantizes the sampled analog signal into a digital value, i.e., a digital voltage signal.

[0045] As an example, if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold, the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is judged to be abnormal; if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is less than or equal to the second voltage threshold, the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is judged to be normal; the second voltage threshold is less than the first voltage threshold. Exemplarily, the first voltage threshold is 3.3V, and the second voltage threshold is 240mV. If the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold, and the holding time is greater than the first preset time, the analog voltage signal is judged to be a high-level signal, and the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is judged to be abnormal. If the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is less than or equal to the second voltage threshold, the analog voltage signal is judged to be a low-level signal, and the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is judged to be normal. Figure 1 As shown, the control circuit 5 includes an MCU, and the MCU includes an analog-to-digital conversion circuit and a signal processing circuit. ADC1 is a signal acquisition port of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit.

[0046] Furthermore, if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold and the holding time is greater than the first preset time, the analog voltage signal is judged to be a high-level signal, and the grounding continuity of the protective ground line PE is judged to be abnormal, thereby preventing misjudgment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the control circuit 5 includes an analog-to-digital conversion circuit and a signal processing circuit; the analog-to-digital conversion circuit is connected to the photocoupler 3 and the pull-up circuit 4, and is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion processing on the analog voltage signal and output a digital voltage signal; the signal processing circuit is connected to the analog-to-digital conversion circuit, and is used to determine that the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE is abnormal if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold; if the peak voltage corresponding to the digital voltage signal is less than or equal to the second voltage threshold, it is determined that the grounding continuity of the protective grounding wire PE is normal; the second voltage threshold is less than the first voltage threshold, so that the analog voltage signal is detected through the analog voltage signal to prevent the analog voltage signal from fluctuating with the phase line voltage, and the high and low levels are more reliably identified, avoiding misjudgment caused by differences in TTL level recognition ranges of MCUs of different brands.

[0048] In one embodiment, the ground continuity detection circuit includes a surge suppression circuit 6; a first end of the surge suppression circuit 6 is connected to the input end of the photocoupler 3, and a second end of the surge suppression circuit 6 is connected to the protective ground line PE, for suppressing the surge signal at the input end of the photocoupler 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first end of the surge suppression circuit 6 is connected to the input end of the photocoupler 3 , and a second end of the surge suppression circuit 6 is connected to the protective ground line PE, for suppressing the surge signal at the input end of the photocoupler 3 to ensure the safety of the photocoupler 3 .

[0050] In one embodiment, the surge suppression circuit 6 includes a first capacitor C1 and a first diode D1 arranged in parallel. As an example, the first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the anode of the photodiode, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the protective ground line PE. The cathode of the second diode is connected to the anode of the photodiode, and the anode of the second diode is connected to the protective ground line PE.

[0051] In this embodiment, the surge suppression circuit 6 includes a first capacitor C1 and a first diode D1 which are connected in parallel, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0052] In one embodiment, the ground continuity detection circuit includes a filter circuit 7, a first end of the filter circuit 7 is connected to the output end of the photocoupler 3, and a second end of the filter circuit 7 is connected to the ground end, and is used to filter out the high-frequency signal output from the output end of the photocoupler 3. In this embodiment, the first end of the filter circuit 7 is connected to the output end of the photocoupler 3, and the second end of the filter circuit 7 is connected to the ground end, and is used to filter out the high-frequency signal output from the output end of the photocoupler 3 to ensure accurate information of the analog voltage signal.
