Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an on-board safety output circuit includes a negative voltage power supply subcircuit, a DC control input subcircuit, a pulse input subcircuit, an intermediate subcircuit, an output subcircuit, a ground terminal GND, a VCC power supply, and a load. The pulse input subcircuit and the negative voltage power supply subcircuit are connected.

[0028] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes two MCUs, namely MCU1 and MCU2. The output pins of MCU1 and MCU2 are respectively connected to the DC control input sub-circuit and the pulse input sub-circuit. As control signals, both MCU1 and MCU2 can generate level signals and pulse signals.

[0029] The DC control input sub-circuit includes an OR gate U1, a first resistor R1, a first DC input DC_MCU1, and a second DC input DC_MCU2.

When DC_MCU1 and DC_MCU2 are both low, the control output of the or gate U1 is effective, and the N-type triode Q1 is turned on to trigger the control.

[0032] PULSE_MCU1 and PULSE_MCU2 are also derived from the output pins of the redundant control devices MCU1 and MCU2, respectively; specific control adopts time division control of two different frequencies and collection mode, and the input end of U2 outputs 100KHz in T1=1s period and 110KHz in T2 period=1s period, and the pulse signal is output in this cycle.

[0033] The pulse input sub-circuit further comprises an inverter connected to the second resistor R2 and the AND gate U2.

[0034] The negative voltage power supply sub-circuit comprises a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a first diode D1 and a second diode D2, one end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the pulse input sub-circuit, the other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2, respectively, one end of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 is connected, the other end of the first diode D1 is connected to the intermediate sub-circuit and one end of the second capacitor C2, respectively, one end of the second capacitor C2 is also connected to the intermediate sub-circuit, and the other end of the second diode D2 and the other end of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the ground terminal GND.

[0035] The negative voltage power supply sub-circuit further comprises a fourth resistor R4, one end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the intermediate sub-circuit, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the first diode D1 and the second capacitor C2, respectively.

[0036] The intermediate sub-circuit comprises a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2 and a third resistor R3, the VCC power supply is connected with one end of the third resistor R3 and the emitter of the second transistor Q2 respectively, the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected with the base of the second transistor Q2 and the collector of the first transistor Q1 respectively, the collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected with the output sub-circuit, the base of the first transistor Q1 is connected with the ground terminal GND, and the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected with the negative voltage power supply sub-circuit and the DC control input sub-circuit respectively.

[0037] The output sub-circuit comprises a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a field effect transistor U3 and a relay Relay, one end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected with the intermediate sub-circuit, the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected with one end of the sixth resistor R6 and the gate of the field effect transistor U3 respectively, the drain of the field effect transistor U3 is connected with the relay Relay, the other end of the sixth resistor R6 and the source of the field effect transistor U3 are connected with the ground terminal GND, the VCC power supply is connected with the relay Relay, and the relay Relay is connected with the load.

[0038] The relay Relay comprises an IN terminal and an OUT terminal, and the IN terminal and the OUT terminal are connected with the load.

[0039] The VCC power supply comprises a first VCC power supply and a second VCC power supply, the first VCC power supply is connected with the intermediate sub-circuit, and the second VCC power supply is connected with the output sub-circuit.

[0040] In the embodiment, the negative voltage power supply sub-circuit is composed of the second resistor R2, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the first diode D1 and the second diode D2, the value of the second resistor R2 is 100Ω, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are 2.2uF, the power supply of the AND gate U1 and the OR gate U2 is 3.3V, the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 use BAS40 diodes, and a voltage of about-4V is generated at the common terminal of the second capacitor C2 and the fourth resistor R4.

[0041] The resistance value of the first resistor R1 is 10KΩ, at this time, when the right side of the first resistor R1 is low and the lower side of the fourth resistor R4 is-4V, the first transistor Q1 is turned on, the base potential of the second transistor Q2 is low enough, and the second transistor Q2 is turned on.

[0042] When the second triode Q2 is turned on, the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 participate in the voltage division of the second VCC power supply, and the voltage of the second VCC power supply is 24v, at this time the gate level of the field effect transistor U3 is high, the drain-source channel of the field effect transistor U3 is turned on, so that the coil end of the relay Relay is powered, so that the normally open contact is closed, that is, the IN and OUT ends are turned on, and the external output is driven.

[0043] On the control side, U1 is an OR gate, and the input comes from the control signals of the two channels, only when the DC_MCU1 of one channel and the DC_MCU2 of the other channel are both low; the control is effective. When the OR gate U1 outputs a low level, and the AND gate U2 outputs a pulse at the same time, the voltage on the upper side of the second capacitor C2 is negative (about -4V) Q1 c (collector) and e (emitter) are turned on, so that Q2 c (collector) and e (emitter) are turned on and work.

[0044] In addition, for the pulse control of the control side, U2 is an AND gate, and the two channel inputs are in turn mode, one channel input is direct current high level, and the other channel input is pulse signal; Every other time period is rotated, one channel input is direct current pulse signal, and the other channel input is direct current signal.

[0045] Then the pulse signals of the two channels are time-division AND gate superposition to generate 100KHz and 110KHz time-division alternating pulses, and the corresponding signals are pulse sampled for output judgment, specifically, the current channel judges its own state while also judging the state of the other party, that is, when the current channel is pulse, the other party channel should be in high level state; When the current channel is high level, the other channel should be pulse signal, so as to realize detection closed loop. The pulse is input to the second resistor R2, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 to generate a negative voltage circuit.

[0046] When the low level output of the AND gate U1 and the 100KHz pulse of U2 are effective at the same time, the output is effective, thereby ensuring safety.

[0047] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
