Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric shutter protection, and particularly to a low-power power-off shutter protection circuit. Background Art

[0002] The characteristics of an infrared detector determine that when the infrared detector receives too strong external infrared energy, for example: the sun or other objects with a temperature much higher than the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement range, it will cause the material characteristics of the sensor to change. After exceeding the tolerance range of the detector pixel, it will cause reversible or irreversible damage to the detector pixel, resulting in abnormal images and inaccurate temperature measurement. To avoid this situation, a low-power power-off shutter protection circuit is designed, which can automatically close the shutter after the product is powered off to protect the detector from damage.

[0003] The existing shutter closing can generally only be used to close during power-on. Its logic is generally to manually operate the product shutter to close. When encountering abnormal power-off, the system often cannot respond to perform the shutter closing operation. The existing power-off shutter protection circuits generally require corresponding feedback signals or logic determination circuits, and an additional control chip is required to perform the shutter closing operation. While adding shutter protection in this way, it also increases the power consumption of the product. The existing solutions require additional logic determination circuits and add corresponding additional control systems, resulting in higher costs and increased system power consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a low-power power-off shutter protection circuit, which realizes the automatic closing of the shutter during power-off without adding an additional power-off detection circuit to the product. Without increasing the power consumption of the product, it can realize the automatic shutter protection function after the detector is powered off without additional feedback signals and logic circuits.

[0006] (2) Technical Solutions

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A low-power power-off shutter protection circuit includes power supply 1, diode 1, energy storage capacitor 1, power supply 2, energy storage capacitor 2, a closing control circuit, a shutter driving chip, and a shutter. The power supply 1 is used to supply power to the driving chip.

[0008] The diode 1 is used to prevent current backflow and ensure that as much energy stored in the energy storage capacitor 1 as possible acts on the shutter driving chip after the circuit is powered off.

[0009] The energy storage capacitor 1 is used to continue to supply power to the driving chip after the circuit is powered off.

[0010] The power supply 2 is used to supply power to the closed control circuit and the logic control power supply of the shutter drive chip;

[0011] The diode 2 is used to prevent current backflow and ensure that the energy stored in the energy storage capacitor 2 is used to maintain the closed control circuit after the circuit loses power;

[0012] The energy storage capacitor 2 is used to continue to supply power to the closed control circuit and the logic control power supply of the shutter drive chip after the circuit loses power.

[0013] Preferably, the closed control circuit is a circuit that outputs a shutter closed signal in the default power-off state and can receive a drive signal to transfer to the shutter drive chip.

[0014] Preferably, the shutter drive chip is used to control the opening and closing of the shutter according to the control logic signal under a given power supply condition.

[0015] Preferably, the shutter is controlled by the shutter drive chip to open and close itself.

[0016] Preferably, the drive signal is a relevant control signal issued by the product control chip for controlling the opening and closing of the shutter.

[0017] Preferably, when the product is working normally, the shutter accepts the drive signal control to complete the corresponding opening and closing control. When the product loses power abnormally or normally, the drive signal disappears. Under the combined action of diode 1, diode 2, energy storage capacitor 1, and energy storage capacitor 2, the shutter drive chip and the closed control circuit work normally, and the shutter can continue to be driven at this time.

[0018] Preferably, in the case where the drive signal disappears, the closed control circuit outputs a shutter closed signal to the shutter drive chip under the power supply of the energy storage capacitor 2, controlling the shutter to close when losing power, thereby protecting the safety of the detector.

[0019] Preferably, the diode 1 and the diode 2 can be replaced with a unidirectional conduction circuit for use.

[0020] (III) Beneficial effects

[0021] The present invention provides a low-power power-down shutter protection circuit. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects: in this low-power power-down shutter protection circuit, when the product is working normally, the shutter is controlled by a drive signal to complete corresponding opening and closing controls. When the product has an abnormal power-down or a normal power-down, the drive signal disappears. Under the combined action of diode 1, diode 2, energy storage capacitor 1, and energy storage capacitor 2, the shutter drive chip and the closing control circuit work normally, and the shutter can continue to be driven at this time. In the case where the drive signal disappears, the closing control circuit outputs a shutter closing signal to the shutter drive chip under the power supply of energy storage capacitor 2 to control the shutter to perform a power-down closing, thereby protecting the safety of the detector. Without the need for an additional logic control chip or a power-down detection circuit, damage to the detector after normal / abnormal power-down is achieved, with low power consumption and no delay. It has undergone multiple tests and actual use, with good effects and reliable functions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
