[0026] Specifically, see Figure 2The latch circuit module includes a PNP transistor Q3, an NPN transistor Q4 and resistors R11, R13, R15 and R20. A capacitor C2 is connected between the base and emitter of the PNP transistor Q3. The emitter of the PNP transistor Q3 is connected to the power supply port VCC.

The collector of the PNP transistor Q3 outputs a surge voltage protection signal AC_OVP.

[0027] Specifically, see Figure 3 The switch control circuit includes diodes D5, D1, resistors R4, R6, R8, R10, NPN transistor Q2, NPN transistor Q1 and normally open relay K1, the positive electrode of the diode D5 is connected to the surge voltage protection signal AC_OVP, the negative electrode of the diode D5 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor Q2 through the resistor R8, the emitter of the NPN transistor Q2 is connected to the output ground PGND, the base and emitter of the NPN transistor Q2 are connected in parallel with a resistor R10, the collector of the NPN transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor Q1, the collector of the NPN transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply port VCC, the emitter of the NPN transistor Q1 is connected to the coil of the normally open relay K1 through the resistor R4, and the base and collector of the NPN transistor Q1 are connected in parallel with a resistor R6.

[0030] In this embodiment, ports L and N are the live wire and neutral wire of the power grid; port VCC is the internal auxiliary power supply of the OBC, and the reference ground is the output ground PGND of the rectifier bridge BD1.

[0031] In the grid voltage sampling and diagnosis circuit, the circuit samples the grid voltage through a sampling circuit composed of rectifier diodes D2, D3, voltage-dividing resistors R7, R9, R12, R19 and filter capacitor C3, and is connected to the positive input terminal of the comparator U1A through resistor R16; port VCC is connected to the negative input terminal of the comparator U1A through voltage-dividing resistors R18, R21 and filter capacitor C5, which is used to set the protection threshold; once the sampled grid voltage exceeds the protection threshold, the comparator U1A outputs a high level, which is filtered by an RC filter circuit composed of resistor R17 and capacitor C4, and then output to a latch circuit composed of PNP transistor Q3, NPN transistor Q4 and resistors R11, R13, R15, R20;

[0034] When OBC starts and works normally, the input surge protection is not triggered, and the surge voltage protection signal AC_OVP is at a low level. At this time, Q2 is cut off and Q1 is saturated and turned on. The power supply port VCC supplies power to the normally open relay K1 to turn on K1, and OBC can be connected to the grid and work normally.

[0035] When the input surge protection is triggered, the surge voltage protection signal AC_OVP is always at a high level, Q2 is saturated and turned on to pull down the base of Q1, so that Q1 is turned off, thereby closing the relay K1 and disconnecting the OBC from the grid.
