Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of power control, and particularly to a power control circuit, a control method, and a power supply. Background Art

[0002] Due to the need for uninterrupted maintenance, the power supply system requires that the power module has the function of hot plugging or uninterrupted maintenance. Because the bus is live, and there are always a large number of filter capacitors and other devices at the output of the power module, there will inevitably be a phenomenon of instantaneous current backflow when replacing the module, and even damage the connection terminals.

[0003] Currently, methods to prevent or reduce the harm of current backflow include adding isolation diodes or pre-charging at the output end of the power module.

[0004] However, connecting an isolation diode in series at the output end to prevent current backflow has a large power loss and is not suitable for power modules with large current output. The pre-charging method to prevent backflow generally requires additional long pins or relays to pre-charge the internal capacitors of the power module through a power resistor. This operation is relatively complex and cannot completely solve the problem of arcing when the pins contact the live part of the bus. Summary of the Invention

[0034] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the following will briefly introduce the accompanying drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other accompanying drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0035] In a first aspect, a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 , and the control circuit includes

[0036] a regulation sub-circuit 101, a charging sub-circuit 102, a first power supply VCC, and a common terminal GND;

[0037] The regulation sub-circuit 101 is respectively connected to the first power supply VCC, the common terminal GND, and one end of the charging sub-circuit 102. The regulation sub-circuit 101 is configured to output a low level to the charging sub-circuit 102 in response to a voltage signal being greater than a first voltage threshold when replacing the power control circuit in a non-power-off state, to control the charging sub-circuit 102 to disconnect the resistor from the common terminal GND to prevent current backflow. After the power control circuit operates normally, in response to the voltage signal being less than a second voltage threshold, the regulation sub-circuit 101 outputs a high level to control the charging sub-circuit 102 to be electrically conductive to the common terminal GND;

[0038] The charging sub-circuit 102 is connected to the common terminal GND. The charging sub-circuit 102 includes a first output terminal Vout+ and a second output terminal Vout-. The first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout- are connected to an external power module in an openable and closable manner. The first output terminal Vout+ is connected to the detection terminal Dectect of the regulation sub-circuit 101. The charging sub-circuit 102 is configured to receive the low level output by the regulation sub-circuit 101 when replacing the power control circuit in a non-power-off state, to perform resistor disconnection to prevent current backflow. In response to the power control circuit operating normally, the charging sub-circuit 102 receives the high level output by the regulation sub-circuit 101 and performs charging energy storage. Among them, when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout- are stably connected to the external power module, the power control circuit operates normally.

[0039] The power control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize power control and protection of the power module by adjusting the on-off state of the charging sub-circuit, which can reduce power loss and ensure the normal operation of the power module.

[0040] It should be noted that when replacing the power control circuit without power interruption, that is, when the power control circuit is incorporated into an external power module without power interruption, the detection terminal Dectect of the adjustment sub-circuit 101 can receive the voltage signal output from the first output terminal Vout+ of the charging sub-circuit 102. When the voltage signal is greater than the first voltage threshold, it indicates that the voltage signal is relatively high. After passing through the adjustment sub-circuit 101, this relatively high voltage signal will output a low level, which does not meet the conduction requirement of the charging sub-circuit 102, thereby controlling the disconnection of the charging sub-circuit 102 from the common terminal GND, effectively preventing current backflow, and thus ensuring that there is no arcing phenomenon when replacing the power control circuit without power interruption for the power module. When the power control circuit is operating normally, that is, when the power control circuit establishes a stable connection with the external power module, the external power module can stably supply power to the power control circuit. The detection terminal Dectect of the adjustment sub-circuit 101 can receive the voltage signal output from the first output terminal Vout+ of the charging sub-circuit 102. When the voltage signal is less than the second voltage threshold, it indicates that the voltage signal is relatively low. After passing through the adjustment sub-circuit 101, this relatively low voltage signal will output a high level, which can meet the conduction requirement of the charging sub-circuit 102, thereby controlling the electrical conduction of the charging sub-circuit 102 with the common terminal GND, so as to ensure that current can flow safely and stably into the charging sub-circuit 102, enabling the charging sub-circuit 102 to charge and store energy, ensuring the normal operation of the power module, and being suitable for power modules with large current output. It can be seen that a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application has a relatively simple structure. Compared with the traditional method of connecting an isolation diode in series at the output terminal to prevent current backflow, the conduction voltage drop of the field-effect transistor MD1 is lower than that of an ordinary diode, which can reduce power loss and ensure the normal operation of the power module. Compared with the pre-charging anti-backflow method, it is simple to operate and has high efficiency, is suitable for power modules with large current output, can prevent the occurrence of current backflow during hot plugging of the power module, and thus solves the problem of arcing when replacing the power control circuit without power interruption.

[0041] In some embodiments, the adjustment sub-circuit 101 is further configured to, when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout- are in a no-output state of just being connected to the external power module at the initial power-on, in response to the voltage signal being greater than the first voltage threshold, output a low level to the charging sub-circuit 102, control the charging sub-circuit 102 to be disconnected from the common terminal GND, so that the first output terminal Vout+ is disconnected from the common terminal GND;

[0042] The charging sub - circuit 102 is also used to receive the low level of the regulation sub - circuit 101 when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout - are in the initial - power - on state with no output and just connected to an external power module, perform a resistor break, and disconnect the first output terminal Vout+ from the common terminal GND. With such a setting, when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout - are in the initial - power - on state with no output and just connected to an external power module, the first output terminal Vout+ can be disconnected from the common terminal GND, which can prevent the first output terminal Vout+ and the common terminal GND from being directly connected to the positive pole of the external power module, thereby reducing the power loss of the power module.

[0043] It should be noted that when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout - are in the initial - power - on state with no output and just connected to an external power module, it indicates that the external power module may not be able to output current to the power control circuit due to poor contact, damage, or shutdown. In this case, when the voltage signal is greater than the first voltage threshold, a low level is output to the charging sub - circuit 102 to control the charging sub - circuit 102 to perform a resistor break with the common terminal GND, so that the first output terminal Vout+ is disconnected from the common terminal GND, which can prevent the first output terminal Vout+ and the common terminal GND from being directly connected to the positive pole of the external power module.

[0044] In some embodiments, the external power module can be a device or equipment with a power - supply function such as a battery.

[0045] In some embodiments, the output voltage of the external power module can be 10 - 300V.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power control circuit can also be connected to an auxiliary power supply to supply power to the regulation sub - circuit 101.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the regulation sub - circuit 101 includes a first diode D1, a second diode D2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and an operational amplifier U1A.

[0048] The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1A is connected to the positive pole of the first diode D1, the negative pole of the first diode D1 is connected to the common terminal GND, the non - inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1A is connected to the positive pole of the second diode D2, the negative pole of the second diode D2 is connected to the common terminal GND, the positive - power - supply pin of the operational amplifier U1A is connected to the first power supply VCC, and the negative - power - supply pin of the operational amplifier U1A is connected to the common terminal GND. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first node N1, the first node N1 is located between the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1A and the positive pole of the first diode D1, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the detection terminal Dectect.

[0049] One end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second node N2, which is located between the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1A and the positive electrode of the second diode D2. The other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the common terminal GND.

[0050] The first resistor R1 is a sampling resistor. As a sampling resistor, the first resistor R1 can apply the voltage between the first output terminal Vout+ and the common terminal GND to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1A. The second resistor R2 is a grounding resistor, which can make the static voltage of the input terminal to the ground zero. The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 are clamping diodes, which have the forward conduction characteristic, thereby preventing high voltage from being poured into the operational amplifier U1A.

[0051] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the first resistor R1 can be 5.1K to 10K, and the resistance value of the second resistor R2 can be 5.1K to 10K. Such settings can limit the current flowing into the operational amplifier and maintain static balance.

[0052] In some embodiments, the operational amplifier U1A can be an inverting operational amplifier.

[0053] For circuit protection, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the adjustment sub-circuit 101 further includes a third resistor R3 and a first capacitor C1. One end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the positive power supply pin terminal of the operational amplifier U1A, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first power supply VCC. One end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the third node N3, which is located between one end of the third resistor R3 and the positive power supply pin terminal of the operational amplifier U1A. The other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the common terminal GND.

[0054] In some embodiments, the voltage range of the first power supply VCC is 10V to 18V.

[0055] The third resistor R3 is a sampling resistor, and its function is to limit current and filter. The first capacitor C1 is a bypass capacitor, which is used to filter out high-frequency noise.

[0056] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the third resistor R3 can be 5Ω to 100Ω, and the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 can be 0.001μF to 1μF. Specifically, it can be a 103 capacitor or a 104 capacitor. Such settings can ensure the stable operation of the circuit.

[0057] In some embodiments, the regulator sub - circuit 101 further includes a fourth resistor R4. One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the amplified output terminal of the operational amplifier U1A, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the charging sub - circuit 102. The fourth resistor R4 is a current - limiting resistor, which is used to limit the current flowing through the gate of the field - effect transistor MD1 from the amplified output terminal of the operational amplifier U1A and the magnitude of the damped oscillation, so as to prevent the electronic components from being burned out, thereby protecting the regulator sub - circuit 101 and the charging sub - circuit 102.

[0058] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the fourth resistor R4 can be 10 - 100Ω, so as to make the MD1 switch stable.

[0059] In some embodiments, the charging sub - circuit 102 includes a field - effect transistor MD1. The drain of the field - effect transistor MD1 is connected to the first output terminal Vout+ through the fourth node N4. The detection node N0 is connected to the fourth node N4. The source of the field - effect transistor MD1 is connected to the common terminal GND, and the gate of the field - effect transistor MD1 is connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R4.

[0060] Through the cooperation of the operational amplifier U1A and the field - effect transistor MD1, when replacing the power - supply control circuit in the non - power - off state, due to the existence of the common terminal GND in the regulator sub - circuit 101, the voltage signal is higher than the common terminal GND, which is equivalent to outputting a high level to the regulator sub - circuit 101. The regulator sub - circuit 101 converts the high level into a low level, so that the charging sub - circuit 102 is turned off, thereby preventing the current output from the first output terminal Vout+ from flowing back into the second capacitor C2; when the power - supply control circuit is working normally, due to the existence of the common terminal GND and the first output terminal Vout+ of the charging sub - circuit 102 in the charging sub - circuit 102, the voltage signal is lower than the common terminal GND, which is equivalent to outputting a low level to the regulator sub - circuit 101. The regulator sub - circuit 101 converts the low level into a high level, so that the charging sub - circuit 102 is electrically conductive.

[0061] Compared with the traditional method of connecting an isolation diode in series at the output terminal to prevent current back - flow, the conduction voltage drop of the set operational amplifier U1A is less than that of an ordinary diode, thereby reducing the loss.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the field - effect transistor MD1 can be an N - channel enhancement - mode field - effect transistor with low on - resistance and low on - loss. When the field - effect transistor MD1 is an N - channel enhancement - mode field - effect transistor, in the case of the amplified output terminal of the operational amplifier U1A outputting a high level, since a high level is input to the gate of the field - effect transistor MD1, and the source of the field - effect transistor MD1 is connected to the common terminal GND, the field - effect transistor MD1 is turned on, so as to realize the electrical conduction of the charging sub - circuit 102.

[0063] In some embodiments, the charging sub - circuit 102 further includes a second capacitor C2. One end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the common terminal GND, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second output terminal Vout-.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second capacitor C2 is an electrolytic capacitor. One end of the second capacitor C2 is the positive electrode, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is the negative electrode. The function of the second capacitor C2 is to filter the module output.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second capacitor C2 may specifically be an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, and the capacitance value may be from 100 μF to 10,000 μF.

[0066] In summary, a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application protects the power module through a power control circuit with a relatively simple structure. Compared with the existing methods such as adding an isolation diode or pre - charging at the output end of the power module, the power control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize power control and protection of the power module by adjusting the on - off state of the charging sub - circuit, can reduce power loss, ensure the normal operation of the power module, and can prevent the phenomenon of current backflow during hot - plugging of the power module, thereby solving the problem of arcing when replacing the power control circuit in a non - power - off state.

[0067] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a power control method, which is applied to the power control circuit as described in the first aspect. Refer to Figure 3 , and the method includes:

[0068] Step 301, when replacing the power control circuit in a non - power - off state, in response to the voltage signal being greater than the first voltage threshold, the regulating sub - circuit 101 outputs a low level to the charging sub - circuit 102, controls the charging sub - circuit 102 to be disconnected from the common terminal GND to prevent current backflow. After the power control circuit works normally, in response to the voltage signal being less than the second voltage threshold, the regulating sub - circuit 101 outputs a high level to the charging sub - circuit 102, controls the charging sub - circuit 102 to be electrically connected to the common terminal GND.

[0069] Step 302, when replacing the power control circuit without power-off, the charging sub-circuit 102 receives the low level output by the regulation sub-circuit 101, performs a resistance break to prevent current backflow, and in response to the charging sub-circuit 102 receiving the high level output by the regulation sub-circuit 101 after the power control circuit works normally, performs charging and energy storage. Wherein, when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout- are stably connected to an external power module, the power control circuit works normally. In some embodiments, the method may further include: when the first output terminal Vout+ and the second output terminal Vout- are in an initial power-on state without output just connected to the external power module, in response to the voltage signal being greater than the first voltage threshold, the regulation sub-circuit 101 outputs a low level to the charging sub-circuit 102 to control the charging sub-circuit 102 to break the resistance with the common terminal GND; the charging sub-circuit 102 receives the low level of the regulation sub-circuit 101, performs a resistance break and disconnects the first output terminal Vout+ from the common terminal GND, thereby reducing the power loss of the power module.

[0070] In summary, a power control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is simple to operate. It can achieve power control and protection of the power module by adjusting the on-off state of the charging sub-circuit, can reduce power loss, ensure the normal operation of the power module, can prevent the phenomenon of current backflow during hot plugging of the power module, and thus solve the problem of arcing when replacing the power control circuit without power-off.

[0071] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a power supply, which includes the power control circuit as in the first aspect.
