[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0034] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below.
[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a power-off circuit of an electric vehicle charger provided in Embodiment 1 of the utility model.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , the circuit includes: a normally open relay 1, a touch switch 2, a relay drive circuit 3, a first voltage output circuit 4, a single chip computer 5 and a display screen 6;
[0038] The first voltage output circuit 4, the relay drive circuit 3, the normally open relay 1, the touch switch 2 and the single-chip microcomputer 5 are connected in sequence, and the relay drive circuit 3 and the display screen 6 are respectively connected to the single-chip microcomputer 5; wherein, referring to Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the relay driving circuit structure is shown in FIG. A normally open relay 1 is added between the charger input terminal and the rectifier bridge;
[0039] When the charger input plug is connected to industrial frequency AC power, the charger is completely powered off because the contacts of the normally open relay 1 are disconnected;
[0040] When the touch switch 2 is pressed for the first time, the single chip computer 5 outputs a high level, and the first voltage output circuit 4 outputs a first voltage to the relay drive circuit 3; the relay drive circuit 3 drives the normally open relay 1 to start, so that the main contact of the normally open relay 1 is closed; when the touch switch 2 is released, the normally open relay 1 maintains a closed state, and the charger works normally;
[0041] Here, when the touch switch 2 is pressed for the first time, the rectifier bridge, the single-ended flyback circuit, the transformer, the rectifier circuit, etc. are started, the single-chip microcomputer 5 works normally, and the CON terminal of the single-chip microcomputer 5 outputs a high level.
[0042] When the touch switch 2 is pressed again, the single chip microcomputer 5 controls the display screen 6 to display the charging time and the reservation time;
[0043] Specifically, after the charger is started, the user can short-press the touch switch 2 again or long-press the touch switch 2 to determine the charging time and the scheduled time, and display them on the display screen 6. For example, the interface after the charger is started is the charging time interface. Short-pressing the touch switch 2 changes the time. Long-pressing the touch switch 2 will enter the next interface of the scheduled time interface. Short-pressing the touch switch 2 adjusts the scheduled charging time. For example, if 8 and 2 are input respectively, the charger will delay charging for 2 hours, and the output will be turned off after charging for 8 hours. If the user does not press the touch switch, the charger will charge immediately with the factory default charging time.
[0044] When the timing time is reached or charging is completed, the single chip microcomputer (CON terminal) 5 outputs a low level, the relay drive circuit 3 stops outputting, the main contact of the normally open relay 1 is disconnected, and the charger is completely powered off.
[0045] In this embodiment, the charger can be physically completely powered off; the charger can use a touch switch to achieve charging reset (needs to be pressed once when powered on) and display operation on the display screen.
[0046] Further, see Figure 2 The positive electrode of the normally open relay 1 is connected to the output end of the relay driving circuit 3, and the negative electrode of the normally open relay 1 is connected to the ground wire. Among them, the positive electrode of the control end of the normally open relay 1 is controlled by the single chip microcomputer 5 to disconnect with the 12V positive electrode.
[0047] Furthermore, the touch switch 2 includes a first set of switches and a second set of switches, the first set of switches is connected to the main contact of the normally open relay, and the second set of switches is connected to the ground wire and the single chip microcomputer. Among them, pins 1 and pins 2 constitute the first set of switches, and pins 3 and pins 4 constitute the second set of switches. When the touch switch is pressed, the single chip microcomputer 5 can identify the pressing state.
[0048] Furthermore, the circuit also includes a second voltage output circuit 7;
[0049] The second voltage output circuit 7 is used to output a second voltage, and output the second voltage to the single chip computer 5 .
[0050] Furthermore, the circuit also includes a rectifier bridge 8;
[0051] The rectifier bridge 8 is used to rectify the household industrial frequency alternating current received by the charger into the first direct current.
[0052] Furthermore, the circuit also includes a single-ended flyback circuit 9;
[0053] The single-ended flyback circuit 9 is used to convert the first direct current into alternating current.
[0054] Furthermore, the circuit also includes a transformer 10 and a rectifier circuit 11;
[0055] The transformer 10 is used to transform the AC power. The primary secondary terminal is rectified into a second DC power through the rectifier circuit 11 and charges the battery. The secondary secondary terminal is rectified into a first voltage and a second voltage.
[0056] Furthermore, the first voltage is 12V and the second voltage is 5V.
[0057] Furthermore, the display screen 6 is arranged on the housing of the charger and can also display the timing time.
[0058] An embodiment of the utility model provides an electric vehicle, comprising the power-off circuit of the electric vehicle charger as described above.
