[0022] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 1 1 is a block diagram of an overvoltage protection circuit 100 provided in one embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of an overvoltage protection circuit 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the overvoltage protection circuit 100 includes a collection circuit 10, a voltage stabilizing circuit 20 and an adjustment circuit 30; the input end of the collection circuit 10 is connected to the output end of the front-stage circuit 200 of the power supply; an input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is connected to the output end of the collection circuit 10, and the output end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is grounded; the adjustment circuit 30 includes a primary circuit 31 and a secondary circuit 32, the input end of the primary circuit 31 is connected to the output end of the front-stage circuit 200, the output end of the primary circuit 31 is connected to the other input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and the secondary circuit 32 is connected to the control chip 300 of the front-stage circuit 200.

[0023] Specifically, the overvoltage protection circuit 100 may include a collection circuit 10, a voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and an adjustment circuit 30. The input end of the collection circuit 10 is connected to the output end of the front-stage circuit 200, and is used to collect the output voltage of the front-stage circuit 200. The collection circuit 10 may include a voltage dividing circuit composed of voltage dividing resistors, which divides the collected voltage and sends it to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20.

[0024] One input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is connected to the output end of the acquisition circuit 10, and is used to receive the output voltage output by the acquisition circuit 10. Another input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is connected to the output end of the primary circuit 31, and the output end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is grounded. The voltage stabilizing circuit 20 may be provided with a reference voltage. The voltage stabilizing circuit 20 adjusts the resistance value of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 according to the difference between the received output voltage output by the comparison circuit and the reference voltage, thereby controlling the current of the adjustment circuit 30.

[0025] The adjustment circuit 30 includes a primary circuit 31 and a secondary circuit 32. The secondary circuit 32 can change accordingly according to the current change of the primary circuit 31. For example, the resistance of the secondary circuit 32 can change accordingly according to the current of the primary circuit 31. The input end of the primary circuit 31 is connected to the output end of the pre-stage circuit 200, the output end of the primary circuit 31 is connected to the input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and the secondary circuit 32 is connected to the control chip 300.

[0026] When the output voltage received by the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 and output by the acquisition circuit 10 increases and is greater than its reference voltage, the resistance of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 decreases, and the current of the front-stage circuit 200 flowing through the primary circuit 31 increases. The secondary circuit 32 detects the increase in the current of the primary circuit 31, and its resistance decreases accordingly, thereby lowering the voltage of the relevant pins of the control chip 300, causing the control chip 300 to turn off the output, thereby completing the overvoltage protection of the control chip 300.

[0027] See also Figure 2As a further embodiment, the adjustment circuit 30 includes a photosensitive component U1, and the photosensitive component U1 includes a primary device and a secondary device; the primary device is connected to the output end of the pre-stage circuit 200 and the input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 as the primary circuit 31 of the adjustment circuit 30, and the secondary device is connected to the control chip 300 as the secondary circuit 32 of the adjustment circuit 30.

[0028] The photosensitive component U1 may include a primary device and a secondary device, the primary device may be a light emitting component, and the secondary device may be a photosensitive component. The primary device is connected between the front stage circuit 200 and the voltage stabilizing circuit 20. That is, the input end of the primary device is connected to the front stage circuit 200, the output end of the primary circuit 31 is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and the secondary device is connected to the pin of the control chip 300.

[0029] When the output voltage received by the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 increases, the resistance of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 decreases, the current flowing through the primary device of the front-stage circuit 200 increases, the brightness of the primary device increases, and after the secondary device senses the increase in the brightness of the primary device, its internal resistance decreases, thereby lowering the voltage of the control chip 300.

[0030] As a further embodiment, the primary device is a light emitting diode, the positive electrode of the light emitting diode is connected to the output end of the pre-stage circuit 200 , and the negative electrode of the light emitting diode is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 .

[0031] The primary device may be a light emitting diode, the positive electrode of the light emitting diode is connected to the front stage circuit 200, and the negative electrode of the light emitting diode is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20. When the output voltage received by the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 increases, the internal resistance of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 decreases, the current flowing through the light emitting diode of the front stage circuit 200 increases, the brightness of the light emitting diode increases, and the internal resistance of the secondary device decreases, thereby lowering the voltage of the control chip 300.

[0032] As a further embodiment, the secondary device is a phototransistor, the collector of the phototransistor is connected to the control chip 300, and the emitter of the phototransistor is grounded.

[0033] Among them, the secondary device can be a phototransistor, the gate of which can sense the change in the brightness of the light-emitting diode. When the brightness of the light-emitting diode increases, the internal resistance of the phototransistor decreases, thereby lowering the voltage of the control chip 300. The light-emitting diode and the phototransistor can improve the accuracy of the overvoltage protection circuit 100, and further improve the protection capability of the control chip 300.

[0034] As a further embodiment, the adjustment circuit 30 further includes a first resistor R1 , one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the output end of the pre-stage circuit 200 , and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the primary device.

[0035] The first resistor R1 is used as a current limiting resistor, one end of which is connected to the front-stage circuit 200 and the other end of which is connected to the primary device, so as to protect the primary device and prevent the primary device from being damaged by excessive current.

[0036] As a further embodiment, the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 includes a voltage stabilizing element U2, one input end of the voltage stabilizing element U2 is connected to the primary device, the other input end of the voltage stabilizing element U2 is connected to the output end of the acquisition circuit 10, and the output end of the voltage stabilizing element U2 is grounded.

One input end of the voltage stabilizing element U2 is connected to the primary device, and the other input end of the voltage stabilizing element U2 is connected to the output end of the acquisition circuit 10. The voltage stabilizing element U2 receives the output voltage output by the acquisition circuit 10. When the output voltage increases, the internal resistance of the voltage stabilizing element U2 decreases, so that the current of the primary device increases, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the secondary device and pulling down the voltage of the control chip 300.

[0038] As a further embodiment, the acquisition circuit 10 includes a voltage divider circuit 11 , one end of the voltage divider circuit 11 is connected to the pre-stage circuit 200 , and the other end of the voltage divider circuit 11 is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 .

[0039] Among them, one end of the voltage divider circuit 11 is connected to the previous stage circuit 200, and the other end of the voltage divider circuit 11 is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and the voltage divider circuit 11 is also grounded, which is used to divide the collected voltage and send the divided voltage to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20.

[0040] As a further embodiment, the voltage divider circuit 11 includes a second resistor R2 and a third resistor R3; one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the pre-stage circuit 200, the other end of the second resistor R2 is respectively connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 and one end of the third resistor R3, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is grounded.

[0041] Among them, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the front-stage circuit 200, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is respectively connected to the third resistor R3 and the voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and the third resistor R3 is grounded. The second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are used as a voltage divider circuit 11 to divide the collected voltage. In addition, the trigger threshold of the overvoltage protection circuit 100 can also be adjusted by adjusting the resistance values ​​of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3. The trigger threshold of the overvoltage protection circuit 100 = (R2 / R3+1)*the reference voltage of the voltage stabilizer U2. For example, if the reference voltage of the voltage stabilizer U2 is 2.5V, the trigger threshold of the overvoltage protection circuit 100 = (R2 / R3+1)*2.5.

[0042] As a further embodiment, the acquisition circuit 10 further includes a first capacitor C1 , one end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the second resistor R2 , and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0044] Specifically, the overvoltage protection circuit 100 may include a collection circuit 10, a voltage stabilizing circuit 20, and an adjustment circuit 30. The input end of the collection circuit 10 is connected to the output end of the front-stage circuit 200, and is used to collect the output voltage of the front-stage circuit 200.

[0045] One input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is connected to the output end of the acquisition circuit 10, and is used to receive the output voltage output by the acquisition circuit 10. Another input end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is connected to the output end of the primary circuit 31, and the output end of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 is grounded. The voltage stabilizing circuit 20 may be provided with a reference voltage. The voltage stabilizing circuit 20 adjusts the resistance value of the voltage stabilizing circuit 20 according to the difference between the received output voltage output by the comparison circuit and the reference voltage, thereby controlling the current of the adjustment circuit 30.

[0046] The adjustment circuit 30 includes a primary circuit 31 and a secondary circuit 32. The secondary circuit 32 can change accordingly according to the current change of the primary circuit 31.
