[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the practical embodiment clearer, the technical solution in the practical embodiment is clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the practical embodiment, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this practical, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this practical.
[0020] The embodiment of the present application provides a low-temperature self-heating circuit system for PCB of electronic products, which solves the technical problems that the semiconductor components of traditional electronic products cannot work normally in severe cold environments, thus causing the entire electronic product to lose its function, and the instantaneous current shock and low temperature environment may cause the semiconductor components to malfunction or be damaged when the electronic products are directly started in a low-temperature environment. In actual use, the electronic products can operate normally in extremely cold conditions (<-40℃), and the performance of semiconductor components can be stabilized in a low-temperature environment to achieve the purpose of safe startup.
[0021] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-2A low-temperature self-heating circuit system for a PCB of an electronic product comprises: a component layer 1 and a heating layer 2, wherein two component layers 1 are provided, and two heating layers 2 are provided, wherein the two component layers 1 are respectively located at the topmost layer and the bottommost layer, and the two heating layers 2 are located between the two component layers 1, and a heating circuit is provided on the heating layer 2, wherein the heating circuit is used to ensure that the electronic components on the component layer 1 work normally under a low-temperature environment; a plurality of temperature switches, including K1, K2, K3 and K4, wherein K1 and K2 are connected in series in the heating circuit, and K3 and K4 are connected in parallel and in series in the power supply circuit of the electronic product, wherein K1 and K2 are used to control the on-off of the heating circuit by sensing the temperature, and wherein K3 and K4 are used to control the on-off of the power supply circuit of the electronic product by sensing the temperature, so as to realize the reliable operation of the electronic product under extremely cold conditions.
[0023] By using two heating layers 2 with heating circuits between the component layers 1, the electronic components of the component layer 1 are heated and heated in a low temperature environment to ensure normal operation. The heating circuit can efficiently convert electrical energy into thermal energy through reasonable layout and conductive material selection. Heat is generated at low temperatures and transmitted to the component layer 1 by virtue of the good thermal conductivity of the heating layer 2, thereby overcoming the adverse effects of low temperature on the performance of components and maintaining the integrity of the functions of electronic products. By virtue of the design of temperature switches K1 and K2 connected in series in the heating layer 2 circuit and K3 and K4 connected in parallel and then in series in the power supply circuit of the electronic product, the heating circuit and the power supply circuit are automatically and accurately controlled according to the ambient temperature to ensure that the electronic products can work reliably in extremely cold conditions. K1 and K2 are closed to start heating when the temperature is lower than -25°C and disconnected to avoid overheating when the temperature is higher than -25°C. K3 and K4 cut off the power supply circuit when the temperature is lower than -40°C and close when the temperature is higher than -40°C to enable the electronic products to start and work normally. This intelligent temperature control mechanism allows the circuit system to adapt to the extremely cold environment and ensures the stable and reliable operation of electronic products.
[0024] The current limiting resistor is connected to the power supply line of the heating circuit and is used to limit the current during heating to prevent the heating layer 2 from being damaged by excessive current.
[0025] By connecting the current limiting resistor to the power supply line of the heating circuit, the effect of limiting the current size during heating and preventing the heating layer 2 from being damaged by excessive current is achieved. The current limiting resistor accurately selects the resistance value based on factors such as the resistance of the resistance wire of the heating layer 2, the power supply voltage and the required heating power. When the current passes through, it generates a certain voltage drop according to Ohm's law, thereby effectively limiting the current size. This ensures that the heating layer 2 will not be damaged by overheating, burning, etc. due to excessive current during normal operation.
[0026] The positive pole of the power supply is connected to one end of the current limiting resistor, the other end of the current limiting resistor is connected to one end of K1, and the other end of K1 is connected to one end of the heating circuit; the negative pole of the power supply is connected to one end of K2, and the other end of K2 is connected to the other end of the heating circuit to form a complete heating circuit power supply circuit.
[0027] By connecting the positive pole of the power supply to the current limiting resistor, K1 and one end of the heating circuit in sequence, and the negative pole to K2 and the other end of the heating circuit, it is achieved to provide stable electric energy for the heating circuit and form a complete power supply circuit to drive the heating process. The power supply acts as an energy source, and the electric energy output by it is adjusted by the current limiting resistor and flows to the heating circuit along a predetermined path. In this process, K1 and K2 are turned on or off in time under temperature control to accurately control the power-on state of the heating circuit. This connection method ensures that the heating circuit can obtain the required electric energy at the right time, so that the heating wire can heat up normally, thereby providing heat for the electronic components of the element layer 1, maintaining its normal operating temperature in a low temperature environment, and ensuring the effective realization of the heating function.
[0028] The positive pole of the power supply is connected to the input terminals of K3 and K4, and the output terminals of K3 and K4 are connected to the positive power input terminal of the electronic product power supply circuit on the component layer to realize power supply control of the electronic product power supply circuit.
[0029] By connecting the positive pole of the power supply to the input terminals of K3 and K4, and connecting the output terminals of K3 and K4 to the positive input Power+ of the power supply circuit of the electronic product, the effect of controlling the on and off of the power supply circuit of the electronic product according to the temperature and providing a stable power supply for the electronic product is achieved. In a low temperature environment, K3 and K4 control the on and off of the power supply circuit according to temperature changes; when the temperature is below -40°C, they remain open and cut off the power supply to prevent the low temperature from damaging the semiconductor components; when the temperature reaches -40°C and above, they close to connect the power supply to the power supply circuit of the electronic product, providing a stable power input for the electronic product. This connection method ensures that the electronic product starts and works under appropriate temperature conditions, avoids the current shock and component damage risks caused by low temperature startup, and ensures the reliability and safety of power supply for electronic products in extremely cold environments.
[0030] K1 and K2 are normally closed switches, and K3 and K4 are normally open switches.
[0031] By designing K1 and K2 as normally closed switches, the heating circuit can remain conductive in the initial state or when a specific high temperature condition is not reached. By setting K3 and K4 as normally open switches, the power supply circuit of electronic products can be automatically cut off in the initial state and low temperature environment.
[0032] The K1 and K2 are in a normally closed state when the temperature is lower than -25°C, and are in a normally open state when the temperature is higher than -25°C.
[0033] By switching between K1 and K2, which are normally closed when the temperature is below -25°C and normally open when the temperature is above -25°C, the heating circuit can be precisely controlled to avoid overheating and affecting the electronic components. In a low temperature environment, K1 and K2 are closed to keep the heating circuit working and increase the temperature of the electronic components; when the temperature rises to -25°C or above, they are promptly switched to the normally open state, cutting off the current in the heating circuit and stopping heating; this precise temperature control function avoids the continuous heating of the heating layer 2 causing the temperature around the electronic components to be too high, prevents damage to the electronic components or abnormal performance caused by overheating, ensures that the electronic components always work within a suitable temperature range, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire circuit system.
[0034] The K3 and K4 are in a normally open state when the temperature is lower than -40°C, and are in a normally closed state when the temperature is higher than -40°C.
[0035] The characteristic of K3 and K4 as -40℃ normally open switches can cut off the power supply circuit of electronic products in low temperature environment and prevent the damage of semiconductor components caused by low temperature startup. When the ambient temperature is lower than -40℃, K3 and K4 remain in the normally open state, effectively isolating the power supply from the power supply circuit of electronic products, avoiding the current shock and low temperature damage that semiconductor components may suffer when directly powered on and started at low temperature. This characteristic provides low temperature protection for semiconductor components, ensuring that they will not be damaged due to improper startup in low temperature environment, laying the foundation for subsequent normal startup and operation at appropriate temperature.
[0036] A plurality of heating wires are connected in series in the heating circuit. When powered on, the heating wires generate heat and conduct the heat to the top and bottom component layers 1 of the PCB, thereby heating the component layer 1 .
[0037] By connecting multiple heating wires in series in the heating circuit and conducting heat to the component layer 1 through power-on, the effect of efficiently generating heat and evenly raising the temperature of the component layer 1 to ensure the normal operation of electronic components is achieved. The heating wire is made of a metal alloy material with high resistivity and strong oxidation resistance, and can generate a large amount of heat according to Joule's law when powered on; multiple heating wires connected in series increase the total heating power, and their layout in the heating circuit is designed so that the heat can be evenly distributed throughout the heating layer 2; the heat is transferred to the component layer 1 through the heating layer 2, effectively raising the temperature around the electronic components.
[0038] During use, in a low temperature environment, the circuit starts to work; since K1 and K2 are normally closed switches, in the initial state, the heating circuit is in a conducting state, and the current starts from the positive pole of the power supply, passes through the current limiting resistor, passes through K1, then flows into the heating circuit, and then returns to the negative pole of the power supply through K2. The multiple heating wires in the heating circuit generate heat due to the passage of current, and the heat is conducted to the component layer 1 located at the top and bottom through the two heating layers 2, thereby ensuring the temperature environment of the electronic components on the component layer 1, so that they can maintain certain performance at low temperatures; at the same time, K3 and K4 are normally open switches, and in a low-temperature environment, the power supply circuit of the electronic product is in a disconnected state, thereby avoiding the instantaneous current shock and the low-temperature environment from damaging the semiconductor components when the electronic product is started at low temperatures; as the heating process continues, when the temperature gradually rises to a certain level (higher than the operating temperature of K1 and K2), K1 and K2 become disconnected, and the heating circuit stops heating; when the temperature rises to the operating temperature of K3 and K4 (at this time, the temperature is suitable for the normal operation of the electronic product), K3 and K4 are closed, and the power supply supplies power to the positive terminal of the power input of the power supply circuit of the electronic product through K3 and K4, and the electronic product starts normally and runs stably, thereby realizing the reliable operation of the electronic product under extremely cold conditions.
[0039] The figures depicted in the attached drawings are example figures, and their purpose is only to more intuitively demonstrate the key structure and connection relationship of the low-temperature self-heating circuit system of the PCB of an electronic product of the utility model; in actual applications, the appearance and size of the device can be adjusted and optimized according to specific needs.
