[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1 The utility model is further described in detail:

[0020] See attached Figure 1 As shown, a zero voltage power supply U switch includes a secondary circuit, a primary circuit and a power supply U, wherein the primary circuit includes a first output voltage multiplier V 1、A second output voltage multiplier V2, a third output voltage multiplier V3, a fourth output voltage multiplier V4, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, a fourth diode D4, a fifth diode D5, a sixth diode D6, a seventh diode D7, a first parallel capacitor Cs1, a second parallel capacitor Cs2, a third parallel capacitor Cs3, a fourth parallel capacitor Cs4, a fourth capacitor C4, a fifth capacitor C5 and a second inductor L2;

[0021] The first output voltage multiplier V1 and the second output voltage multiplier V2 are connected in series, and are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply U after the series connection; the third output voltage multiplier V3 and the fourth output voltage multiplier V4 are connected in series, and are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply U after the series connection;

[0022] The second diode D2 is connected in parallel to both ends of the second output voltage multiplier V2, and is connected in parallel to the second parallel capacitor Cs2; the third diode D3 is connected in parallel to both ends of the first output voltage multiplier V1, and is connected in parallel to the first parallel capacitor Cs1; the fourth diode D4 is connected in parallel to both ends of the fourth output voltage multiplier V4, and is connected in parallel to the fourth parallel capacitor Cs4; the fifth diode D5 is connected in parallel to both ends of the third output voltage multiplier V3, and is connected in parallel to the third parallel capacitor Cs3;

[0023] One end of the second power transformer T2 is respectively connected to the third output voltage multiplier V3 and the fourth output voltage multiplier V4, and one end of the first power transformer T1 is respectively connected to the first output voltage multiplier V1 and the second output voltage multiplier V2;

[0024] One end of the second inductor L2 is respectively connected to the third output voltage multiplier V3 and the fourth output voltage multiplier V4, and one end is respectively connected to the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5, the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the fourth output voltage multiplier V4, and the other end of the fifth capacitor C5 is connected to the third output voltage multiplier V3;

[0025] The sixth diode D6 and the seventh diode D7 are connected in parallel to both ends of the fourth capacitor C4 and the seventh capacitor respectively.

[0026] The main circuit supplies power to the load, and through the resonance of the second inductor L2, the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5, the current of the second inductor L2 increases in the reverse direction, the voltage of the fourth capacitor C4 reaches zero, the sixth diode D6 is turned on, and the voltage across the second inductor L2 is clamped at zero, so that the current of the first inductor L1 is turned on through the fourth output voltage multiplier V4 and the sixth diode D6 to continue to flow, so that the current value is almost constant, effectively reducing the loss of loop current in the circuit.

[0027] The secondary circuit includes a first power transformer T1, a second power transformer T2, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a third capacitor C3, a first diode D1, a first inductor L1 and a resistor.

[0028] The secondary circuit is connected in parallel with the primary circuit. When the load of the circuit increases from a small value, the voltage acting on the first inductor L1 will also increase, causing the current to decrease rapidly during the circulation through the first output voltage multiplier V1 and the third output voltage multiplier V3. Before the third output voltage multiplier V3 is turned off, the current effectively reaches zero and increases in the reverse direction. The anti-parallel fifth diode D5 of the third output voltage multiplier V3 is used for continuous flow, so that the third output voltage multiplier V3 is turned off with zero current, thereby effectively reducing the loss of loop current.

[0029] In summary, the load is powered by the primary circuit, and the current of the second inductor L2 increases in the reverse direction through the resonance of the second inductor L2, the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5, the voltage of the fourth capacitor C4 reaches zero, the sixth diode D6 is turned on, and the voltage across the second inductor L2 is clamped at zero, so that the current of the first inductor L1 continues to flow through the fourth output voltage multiplier V4 and the sixth diode D6, so that the current value is almost constant, effectively reducing the loss of the loop current in the circuit. The secondary circuit is designed, when the load of the circuit increases from small to large, the voltage acting on the first inductor L1 will also increase, so that the current decreases rapidly during the circulation through the first output voltage multiplier V1 and the third output voltage multiplier V3, and the current reaches zero and increases in the reverse direction before the third output voltage multiplier V3 is turned off, and the third output voltage multiplier V3 is turned on by the anti-parallel fifth diode D5 of the third output voltage multiplier V3, so that the third output voltage multiplier V3 is turned off with zero current, effectively reducing the loss of the loop current.

[0030] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
