[0014] Figure 3 This is the schematic diagram of the Hall water detection circuit.

[0015] Figure 4 This is the schematic diagram of the flyback switching power supply circuit. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , further describe this application scheme:

[0017] See attached Figure 1The humidifying skirting heater is provided with a water tank 1, in which a float 2 and an atomizing sheet are arranged. The electrical part of the humidifying skirting heater includes: a control circuit, an atomizing sheet oscillation circuit and a Hall water detection circuit. The atomizing sheet oscillation circuit is connected to the atomizing sheet, and is controlled by the control circuit to start / stop self-excited oscillation; the Hall water detection circuit includes a Hall sensor arranged above the float 2, and a magnet 3 arranged on the float 2 and floating / sinking with it. The Hall sensor here can be arranged in the external space of the water tank 1 for easy wiring, and of course it can also be arranged in the water tank 1, according to the specific structural requirements. The output end of the Hall sensor is connected to the control circuit. As the water level of the water tank drops, the magnet moves away from the Hall sensor above with the float 2, and then the output voltage of the Hall sensor changes. When the change exceeds the predetermined value, it will trigger the control circuit to shut down the atomizing sheet oscillation circuit, thereby protecting the atomizing sheet.

[0018] See attached Figure 3 The control circuit includes a single-chip microcomputer IC1, which defines a water level detection pin for connecting to the output end of the Hall sensor U4, and a start-stop control pin (pin 21) for connecting to the atomizer oscillation circuit. The start-stop control pin (pin 21) is used to output a PWM signal. The Hall sensor U4 can be a two-wire Hall sensor or a three-wire Hall sensor.

[0019] In this embodiment, a three-wire Hall sensor is used, and resistors R21 and R26 are connected in series between the +5V DC source and the water level detection pin (pin 6). The output pin of the Hall sensor U4 is connected to the resistor R26. Since the three-wire Hall sensor outputs high and low level digital signals, the water level detection pin is selected as the I / O pin (pin 6) of the single-chip microcomputer. The Hall sensor U4 cannot detect the magnetic field of the magnet, and the output pin of the Hall sensor U4 changes from the original low potential to a high impedance state, and then the water level detection pin (pin 6) is pulled up to a high potential by the resistor R21 (resistors R21 and R26 divide the voltage). At this time, the output of the start-stop control pin (pin 21) of the single-chip microcomputer IC1 is low, and the atomizer oscillation circuit stops working.

[0020] Since the two-wire Hall sensor outputs an analog signal, when the two-wire Hall sensor is used, the water level detection pin must be the AD pin of the single-chip microcomputer IC1. When the water level in the water tank drops to the lower limit, the Hall sensor U4 cannot detect the magnetic field of the magnet, and the voltage of the water level detection pin will be pulled down to about 3.6V by the output pin of the Hall sensor U4. At this time, the voltage is lower than the preset value (for example, 3.8V), and the output of the start-stop control pin (pin 21) of the single-chip microcomputer IC1 is low, and the atomizer oscillation circuit stops working.

[0021] See attached Figure 2The atomizer sheet oscillation circuit includes an atomizer sheet terminal CN3, a first optical coupling unit U6, a first inductor L4, a second inductor L5, a first transistor Q2, a first diode D8, a second diode D7, a first capacitor CCE1 and a second capacitor CBC1; the input side of the first optical coupling unit U6 is connected to the start-stop control pin (pin 21) of the single-chip computer IC1 to obtain a PWM signal, the 4th pin of the output side is connected to the +24V DC source via the first diode D8, and the 3rd pin of the output side is connected to the base of the first transistor Q2 via the first inductor L4, and the first optical coupling unit U6 and the second inductor D7 are connected to the first transistor Q2. An inductor L4 constitutes the isolation control part of the atomizer oscillation circuit, controls the oscillation frequency based on the PWM signal, and has a better isolation effect; the collector of the first transistor Q2 is connected to the +24V DC source, and its emitter is grounded through the second inductor L5, and the second diode D7 and the first capacitor CCE1 are connected and connected between its collector and emitter; one pin of the atomizer terminal CN3 is connected to the +24V DC source, and the other end is connected to the base of the first transistor Q2 through the second capacitor CBC1, and a fuse S1 is provided between the emitter of the first transistor Q2 and the second inductor. The atomizer oscillation circuit also includes voltage-dividing resistors R29, R30 and R34 connected in series between the +24V DC source and the ground terminal, the anode of the first diode D8 is connected to the voltage-dividing resistor R30, and its cathode is connected to the 4th pin of the output side of the first optical coupling unit U6.

[0022] See attached Figure 4The electrical part of the humidifying skirting heater also includes: a flyback switching power supply circuit for providing at least two DC voltage outputs, the flyback switching power supply circuit includes a first yoke flow module, a rectifier bridge, a second yoke flow module, a switch control chip U2, a transformer coil T1, a first output module and a second output module; the first yoke flow module includes a yoke flow inductor L1, a filter capacitor CX1 arranged at the output end of the yoke flow inductor L1, and resistors RX1 and RX2; the second yoke flow module includes a yoke flow inductor L2, a filter capacitor EC1 respectively arranged at the input end and the output end of the yoke flow inductor L2 and EC3, as well as resistors RX1 and RX2; the first yoke module, the rectifier bridge and the second yoke module are connected in sequence to provide multiple protections at the input end of the circuit; one end of the first winding on the primary side of the transformer coil is connected to the output end of the second yoke module, and the other end is connected to the control signal output pin of the switch control chip, the second winding on the primary side of the transformer is connected to the power pin of the switch control chip, and the switch control chip and the transformer constitute a flyback transformer unit, one end of the third winding on the secondary side of the transformer is connected to the first output module, and the other end is connected to the second output module, and the middle tap of the third winding is grounded. The first output module includes a diode D1, a resistor R5 connected in parallel to the cathode of the diode D1, filter capacitors EC2 and C3, and capacitor C1 and resistor R1 are connected between the two ends of the diode D1; similarly, the second output module includes a diode D2, a resistor R12 connected in parallel to the cathode of the diode D2, filter capacitors EC6 and C7, and capacitor C4 and resistor R5 are connected between the two ends of the diode D2; the number of turns of the third winding (between pins 8 and 10) is divided by the middle tap (pin 9), so that the first output module outputs a +24V DC voltage and the second output module outputs a +12V DC voltage, wherein the +24V DC voltage is used to power the atomizer oscillation circuit.

[0023] The flyback switching power supply circuit also includes a buck stabilizing module, which includes a buck stabilizing chip U1, filter capacitors EC4 and C5 arranged on the input side of the buck stabilizing chip U1, and an inductor L3, filter capacitors EC5 and C6 arranged on the output side of the buck stabilizing chip U1; the input end of the buck stabilizing module is connected to the first output module or the second output module. In this embodiment, the input end of the buck stabilizing module is connected to the second output module, and the +12V voltage output of the second output module is stepped down to a +5V voltage output to power modules such as the single-chip microcomputer and the Hall sensor.

[0024] The input end of the first yoke current module is provided with a varistor ZR1 and an adjustable resistor TR1. The varistor ZR1 is used for grid surge protection, while the adjustable resistor TR1 can adjust the resistance value according to the input current demand to protect the subsequent circuit.
