[0024] The principle of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings: A multi-channel DC power supply redundancy control circuit design based on dynamic sampling resistor adjustment includes three redundant circuits and supporting capacitors. The redundant circuits include an AC / DC conversion circuit, a DC / DC conversion circuit, a sampling filter capacitor, a sampling adjustment circuit, a reverse protection diode, and an output filter capacitor. The sampling adjustment circuit includes a voltage sampling resistor, a control voltage sampling resistor, an adjustment resistor, a filter capacitor, and an adjustment MOSFET.
[0025] The principle of the multi-channel DC power supply redundancy control circuit with dynamic sampling resistor adjustment is as follows: Three redundant circuits are connected to AC voltage and output three DC voltages (Vo1, Vo2, Vo3) respectively. The three DC voltages pass through anti-reverse diodes, are connected in parallel, and are finally output as DC voltage (VOUT) through the supporting capacitor E. The three redundant circuits can work simultaneously and have outputs. The redundant circuits are controlled by the sampling adjustment circuit, so that the three DC voltages (Vo1, Vo2, Vo3) are different. The output voltage of the main circuit is higher than that of the two backup circuits, so that the backup circuits are in a static no-load operation state.
[0026] The principle of redundant circuits is as follows, taking the first circuit as an example: After the circuit is powered on, it first undergoes AC / DC and DC / DC conversion to obtain the output voltage (Vo1). At this moment, the output voltage... When the regulating MOSFET in the closed sampling and regulation circuit is closed, the regulating resistor (R1) is connected in parallel with the lower resistor (rs1) of the control voltage sampling resistor. At this moment, the output voltage is: Vo1 2 Greater than Vo1 1 The remaining two backup circuits can only operate under static no-load conditions because the regulating MOSFET in the sampling and regulation circuit is disconnected, resulting in an output voltage lower than the main circuit voltage. (1) Normal power supply mode Main circuit path 1: The input AC power is rectified by AC / DC, converted by DC / DC, and filtered by voltage (CV1) to output a stable voltage (Vo1). 1 The voltage sampling resistor (RV1) outputs a sampled voltage (VS1), which is read and processed by the controller (such as a microcontroller). The controller sends a control signal (KZ1) to close the regulating MOSFET (M1), so that the regulating resistor (R1) is connected to the circuit, and the output voltage (Vo1) is increased. 2 ), to supply power to the load.
[0027] Backup circuit 2 and 3: Main circuit 1: The connected AC power supply undergoes AC / DC rectification, DC / DC conversion, voltage filtering (CV), and outputs a stable voltage (Vo). 1The voltage sampling resistor (RV) outputs a sampled voltage (VS) for the controller (such as a microcontroller) to read and process. Since the main circuit is working, the controller does not send a control signal (KZ1), the regulating MOSFET (M1) is turned off, the regulating resistor (R1) is not connected to the circuit, the output voltage is less than the main circuit voltage, and it can only operate under static no-load conditions.
[0028] (2) Fault operation mode When the controller detects a fault shutdown or undervoltage in the main circuit (path 1) (VS1 decreases), the controller disconnects the main circuit regulating MOSFET (M1) and closes the backup circuit regulating MOSFET (M2) to maintain power supply to the backup circuit (path 2). When the backup circuit (path 2) fails to power down or experiences undervoltage, the controller disconnects the backup circuit regulating MOSFET (M2) and closes the backup circuit regulating MOSFET (M3) to maintain power supply to the backup circuit (path 3). If the backup circuit (path 2) fails to power down after power-on, when the main circuit (path 1) fails to power down or experiences undervoltage, the controller skips the backup circuit (path 2) and closes the backup circuit regulating MOSFET (M3) to maintain power supply to the backup circuit (path 3).
[0029] The specific contents of the controller's control logic (1) Normal power supply mode Main circuit 1: AC power is rectified by AC / DC, converted by DC / DC, and filtered to output a stable voltage Vo1_1; The voltage sampling resistor (RV1) samples to obtain VS1, which is then read by the controller; The controller issues KZ1, closes M1, connects R1, and outputs voltage Vo1_2 to supply power to the load. Backup circuit 2 and 3: Because the main circuit is working, the controller does not issue KZ2 / KZ3, M2 / M3 is open, the output voltage is lower than the main circuit, and it only runs under no-load. (2) Fault working mode When the main circuit (1) is faulty or undervoltage: The controller detects a drop in VS1, opens KZ1 (M1 is open), and closes KZ2 (M2 is closed), switching to power supply to the 2nd circuit. If the 2nd circuit is also faulty: The controller opens KZ2, closes KZ3, and switches to power supply to the 3rd circuit. If the 2nd circuit is faulty from the start: When the main circuit is faulty, the 2nd circuit is skipped directly, KZ3 is closed, and power is supplied by the 3rd circuit. By controlling the on / off state of each MOSFET, the main circuit voltage is made higher than the backup circuit, thus achieving "main circuit priority and backup circuit hot backup"; the controller reads the sampled voltage of each circuit in real time and decides to switch according to the voltage status; once the main circuit fails, it immediately switches to the next circuit to ensure power supply continuity. The controller ensures that the output voltages of the three redundant circuits are different through a sampling and adjustment circuit. The output voltage (Vo1_2) of the main circuit (e.g., the first path) is the highest.
[0030] The output voltages (Vo2_1, Vo3_1) of the backup circuits (channels 2 and 3) are lower than those of the main circuit.
[0031] Due to the voltage difference and the fact that each output terminal has a reverse protection diode connected in parallel, the main circuit with the highest voltage will naturally supply power to the load, while the backup circuit is in a static no-load (hot backup) state due to the low voltage and does not output current.
[0032] The controller (such as a microcontroller) determines its operating status by continuously monitoring the sampled voltages (VS1, VS2, VS3) of each channel and executes the following switching logic: (1) Normal power supply mode Status: Main circuit (channel 1) voltage is normal.
[0033] Controller actions: The control signal KZ1 is sent to close the regulating MOSFET (M1) of the main circuit, so that its output voltage rises to the maximum and bears the entire load.
[0034] KZ2 and KZ3 are not issued, and the MOSFETs (M2, M3) of the backup circuit are kept off, so that their output voltage is low and they are in hot backup state.
[0035] (2) Fault operation mode and fault skipping mechanism Triggering condition: The controller detects that the sampling voltage of the current power supply circuit has decreased (below the set threshold) and determines that it is faulty or undervoltage.
[0036] Switching logic (in order of priority): Main circuit (channel 1) fault: The controller disconnects KZ1 (M1 disconnects), causing the first channel to lose power.
[0037] Close KZ2 (M2 closed) to boost the second output voltage, making it the new main circuit and taking over the load.
[0038] The second circuit (new main circuit) is also faulty: The controller disconnects KZ2 (M2 disconnects), causing the second channel to lose power.
[0039] Close KZ3 (M3 closed) to boost the third output voltage and make it take over the load.
[0040] Skip fault path mechanism: Scenario: Circuit 2 is already faulty (unable to work properly) when the system starts up.
[0041] Logic: When the main circuit (channel 1) fails, the controller attempts to switch to channel 2, but detects an abnormal state of channel 2 (such as no response or low VS2). At this time, the controller will directly skip channel 2, not send the KZ2 signal, but directly send the KZ3 signal to activate channel 3 for power supply.
[0042] The principle of the sampling and adjustment circuit is as follows: When the circuit is connected to a power source and starts working, the output voltage (VO) 1 The voltage sampling resistor (RV) outputs a sampled voltage (VS). The controller (such as a microcontroller) reads the sampled voltage and outputs a control signal (KZ) to close the regulating MOSFET (M), so that the regulating resistor (R) is connected to the circuit, and the output voltage (Vo) is increased. 2 ), supplying power to the load. When the regulating MOSFET (M) is off, the circuit output voltage Vo 1 When the MOSFET (M) is closed, the circuit output voltage Vo 2 Output voltage Vo 1 and Vo 2 All voltages must be within the specified voltage range, voltage Vo 1 Not lower than the lower limit of the normal supply voltage, voltage Vo 2 It should not exceed the upper limit of the normal power supply voltage.
[0043] If multiple output voltage levels Vo are required, the MOSFETs can be controlled at different frequencies, effectively connecting the regulating resistors in the circuit; alternatively, a hierarchical control network can be constructed using multiple regulating resistors and MOSFETs. The sampling regulation circuit contains multiple regulating resistors (R1, R2, R3…) with different resistance values, each connected in series with an independent regulating MOSFET (M1, M2, M3…). By selectively closing one or more MOSFETs, the controller can connect different resistor combinations in parallel to the sampling network, thereby achieving multiple discrete and precise output voltage levels. Each voltage level is determined by a fixed resistor combination, resulting in a highly stable output voltage unaffected by factors such as switching frequency.
[0044] Different models of optocouplers and voltage references (such as TL431 / TL432) can also be selected to achieve isolated sampling and control.
[0045] The above description is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other types of multi-channel DC power supply redundancy control circuits based on dynamic sampling resistor adjustment (such as voltage signal isolation sampling method, voltage signal digital sampling method, isolation control method, etc.) designed according to the guiding idea of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
