[0002] An adapter is an interface converter, which can be an independent hardware interface device that allows a hardware or electronic interface to connect to other hardware or electronic interfaces, or an information interface. For example: a power adapter, a tripod base adapter, a USB to serial port adapter, etc.

[0003] The existing adapter outputs 12Vdc in normal working state. However, when a certain fault occurs, the output voltage reaches 15V, and some electronic components in the circuit will be damaged. In order to completely solve the problem of damage to electronic components, a protection circuit needs to be set in the adapter.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides an improved circuit for overvoltage protection on the secondary side of an adapter, which is used to solve the above-mentioned related technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an improved circuit for overvoltage protection on the secondary side of an adapter. The provided forward-type switching power supply cooling fan driving circuit has a simple circuit, is easy to implement, saves power supply cost, reduces power supply volume, and has a driving circuit with automatic speed adjustment and compensation function, so as to make up for some deficiencies and waste of resources in the existing high-power switching power supply cooling fan driving method.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An adapter secondary side overvoltage protection improvement circuit includes an optical coupler U1, a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a diode ZD1, a transistor Q1 and an output terminal Vout;

[0008] The optical coupler U1 is connected to the output terminal Vout via the resistor R2;

[0009] The diode ZD1 is connected to the base of the transistor Q1 , and the diode ZD1 is connected to the output terminal Vout.

[0010] Furthermore, the emitter of the transistor Q1 is connected to the diode ZD1 via the resistor R1.

[0011] Furthermore, the emitter of the transistor Q1 and the diode ZD1 are both grounded.

[0012] Furthermore, a resistor R3 is connected between the diode ZD1 and the optical coupler U1.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The improved overvoltage protection circuit on the secondary side of the adapter of the utility model can ensure that when the output end reaches a preset constant voltage value, the voltage signal on the secondary side is effectively fed back to the primary side. After the primary side controller receives the feedback signal from the secondary side, the overvoltage protection is triggered, which will ultimately protect the product and ensure that there is no impact on the product.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, an improved circuit for overvoltage protection on the secondary side of an adapter includes an optocoupler U1, a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a diode ZD1, a transistor Q1 and an output terminal Vout; the optocoupler U1 is connected to the output terminal Vout via the resistor R2; the diode ZD1 is connected to the base of the transistor Q1, and the diode ZD1 is connected to the output terminal Vout.

[0019] The diode ZD1 has a preset constant voltage value. When the output voltage is less than the constant voltage value, the transistor Q1 is not turned on and the receiving end of the optocoupler U1 is not turned on. When the output voltage is greater than the constant voltage value, the transistor Q1 is turned on and the receiving end of the optocoupler U1 is turned on. In one embodiment, the constant voltage value is 15V.

[0020] In addition, the emitter of the transistor Q1 is connected to the diode ZD1 via the resistor R1.

[0022] A resistor R3 is connected between the diode ZD1 and the optocoupler U1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the provided adapter secondary side overvoltage protection improvement circuit is in operation. When the output voltage Vout<15V, the transistor Q1 is not turned on, and the receiving end of the optocoupler U1 is not turned on. When the output voltage Vout>15V, the transistor Q1 is turned on, and the receiving end of the optocoupler U1 is turned on.

[0024] The improved overvoltage protection circuit on the secondary side of the adapter of the utility model can ensure that when the output end reaches a preset constant voltage value, the voltage signal on the secondary side is effectively fed back to the primary side. After the primary side controller receives the feedback signal from the secondary side, the overvoltage protection is triggered, which will ultimately protect the product and ensure that there is no impact on the product.
