The refrigeration temperature of the compressor car refrigerator is low, ranging from -18 degrees to 10 degrees, and the refrigeration efficiency is high, which can make ice and keep fresh. In the circuit control system of the car refrigerator, the compressor controller is the key component of the car refrigerator system, and the safety and reliability of the controller are very important.

The disadvantage of this reverse connection protection circuit is that if the MOSFET is damaged, the subsequent circuit cannot sense it. If the subsequent circuit can continue to operate when the reverse connection protection MOSFET fails, it will cause the circuit board to have a high temperature and burn out. Utility Model Content

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a reverse connection protection circuit, which is used in a vehicle refrigerator compressor controller. The reverse connection protection circuit includes:

[0042] A MOS tube, wherein the drain of the MOS tube is connected to the negative electrode of the external input circuit, and the source of the MOS tube is connected to the negative electrode output terminal of the external input circuit;

[0043] A voltage-dividing resistor, one end of which is connected to the positive electrode of the external input circuit, the other end of which is connected to the negative electrode of a voltage-stabilizing diode, and the other end of which is also connected to the gate of the MOS tube;

[0044] A voltage stabilizing diode, wherein the positive electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode is connected to the source electrode of the MOS tube, and the negative electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode is also connected to the gate electrode of the MOS tube;

[0045] The gate of the MOS tube is also connected to a main control chip, and the main control chip is used to control the subsequent circuit to stop.

[0046] In the reverse connection protection circuit of this patent, the driving signal of the MOS tube is innovatively used as an enabling signal to determine whether the reverse connection protection circuit is normal. If the MOS tube fails, the MOS tube will show a short circuit between the driving gate and the drain, which will pull the driving signal of the MOS tube down to 0V. After the main control module recognizes it, it will turn off the power circuit / power module of the subsequent circuit or make the output voltage of the power circuit / power module 0, so that the subsequent circuit stops running. The MOS tube has a small current, generates little heat, and has a low temperature, which will not cause the PCB circuit board to burn out.

[0047] In view of the situation that there is no protection after the general reverse connection protection circuit fails, we have optimized and improved the circuit so that when the reverse connection protection MOS tube fails, the main control chip can identify and drive the shutdown of the subsequent circuit through the change of electrical signals, avoiding the failure caused by the continued operation of the subsequent circuit. The anti-reverse connection circuit using MOS tube has a simple structure, low static power consumption, and low cost. When the MOS tube fails, it can automatically identify and shut down the power output of the subsequent circuit, so as to achieve the purpose of shutting down the subsequent circuit, stop the operation of the subsequent circuit, achieve the result of linkage protection, and improve the reliability of the refrigeration equipment.

The U13 input port is connected to the digital ground through a pull-down resistor to ensure that the output signal is low level by default when powered on, protecting the IPM chip at the hardware level.

[0055] Specifically, the IPM inverter drive circuit is connected to the PWM buffer circuit, and the IPM inverter drive circuit is connected to the vehicle compressor. Figure 4 As shown, it is a circuit topology diagram of the IPM inverter drive circuit.

U1B is an operational amplifier with a 6MHz bandwidth, a typical offset voltage of 50uV, a typical open-loop gain of 105dB and a power input of 2.1V to 6V, which can realize accurate phase current sampling and distortion-free amplification. In a specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, it is a circuit topology diagram of the ADC sampling circuit.
