[0049] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of another overcurrent protection circuit provided by the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The core of the utility model is to provide an overcurrent protection circuit and system. In this solution, the controller has enough time to receive a preset level signal, and performs a blocking drive after receiving the preset level signal to reduce the current value on the circuit side to be tested and accurately implement overcurrent protection.

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an overcurrent protection circuit provided by the utility model. The circuit includes:

[0053] A current detection device 1, the input end of which is connected to the circuit to be tested, for collecting the current on the circuit to be tested and converting the current into a voltage, wherein the voltage is linearly related to the current;

[0054] Operational amplifier circuit 2, the positive phase input terminal and the negative phase input terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 2 are connected to the current detection circuit, and are used to linearly amplify the voltage, the minimum value of the amplified voltage value corresponding to the positive current is greater than the maximum value of the amplified voltage value corresponding to the negative current, and the amplified voltage values ​​are all positive values;

[0055] A positive comparison circuit 3, wherein the negative phase input terminal of the positive comparison circuit 3 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 2, the positive phase input terminal of the positive comparison circuit 3 is connected to the first reference module, and the output terminal of the positive comparison circuit 3 is connected to the controller, and is used to output a preset level signal of a first preset time to the controller when the amplified voltage value is greater than the first reference voltage value provided by the first reference module, so that the controller performs blocking driving after receiving the preset level signal;

[0056] A negative comparison circuit 4, wherein the positive input terminal of the negative comparison circuit 4 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 2, the negative input terminal of the negative comparison circuit 4 is connected to the second reference module, and the output terminal of the negative comparison circuit 4 is connected to the controller, and is used to output a preset level signal of a second preset time to the controller when the amplified voltage value is less than the second reference voltage value provided by the second reference module, so that the controller performs a blocking drive after receiving the preset level signal; the first reference voltage value is greater than the second reference voltage value.

[0057] In the utility model, the current detection device 1 can collect the current on the circuit to be tested and convert it into a voltage. Because the current includes a positive current and a negative current, the voltage corresponding to the current also includes a positive voltage and a negative voltage. In order to realize protection when an overcurrent condition (positive overcurrent and negative overcurrent) occurs in the circuit to be tested, the operational amplifier circuit 2 is required to amplify the voltage so that the amplified voltage values ​​output by the operational amplifier circuit 2 can all be positive values. At this time, the forward comparison circuit 3 can compare the amplified voltage value and the first reference voltage value provided by the first reference module to determine whether the circuit to be tested is in a forward overcurrent state. When the first reference voltage value is less than the amplified voltage value, the circuit to be tested is in a forward overcurrent state. In the overcurrent state, the positive comparison circuit 3 outputs a preset level signal, and the preset level signal will last for a first preset time; similarly, the negative comparison circuit 4 can compare the amplified voltage value and the second reference voltage value provided by the second reference module to determine whether the circuit to be tested is in a negative overcurrent state. When the second reference voltage value is greater than the amplified voltage value, the circuit to be tested is in a negative overcurrent state, and the negative comparison circuit 4 outputs a preset level signal, and the preset level signal will last for a second preset time. Therefore, when the circuit to be tested is in an overcurrent state, the controller has enough time to receive the preset level signal, and performs a blocking drive after receiving the preset level signal to reduce the current value on the circuit to be tested side and accurately implement overcurrent protection.

[0058] It should be noted that this overcurrent protection circuit collects the high-voltage side current through a current transformer, and then transmits the overcurrent signal to the controller through circuits such as an op amp and a comparator, and adds a hysteresis interval to the overcurrent protection threshold, so that the controller has enough time to recognize the conversion of high and low levels, thereby effectively blocking and releasing the drive, and has strong anti-interference ability. In addition, this overcurrent protection circuit blocks the drive through the controller, and the signal transmission delay is small, which reduces the maximum current after the overcurrent, thereby reducing the stress of the switch tube and playing a certain protective role on the device itself.

[0059] The present embodiment provides an overcurrent protection circuit, wherein a current detection device 1 can collect the current of a circuit to be tested and convert the current into a linearly related voltage, an operational amplifier circuit 2 can amplify this voltage, when the amplified voltage value is greater than a first reference voltage value provided by a first reference module, a positive comparison circuit 3 will output a preset level signal for a first preset time, and when the amplified voltage value is less than a second reference voltage value provided by a second reference module, a negative comparison circuit 4 will output a preset level signal for a second preset time, so that the controller has enough time to receive the preset level signal, and performs a blocking drive after receiving the preset level signal, so as to reduce the current value on the circuit to be tested side and accurately implement overcurrent protection.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments:

[0061] As an optional embodiment, the current detection device 1 includes:

[0062] A current transformer, the primary winding of which is connected in series in the circuit to be tested, and is used to sense the current in the circuit to be tested;

[0063] A first resistor R1, a first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to a first end of a secondary winding of a current transformer and a positive phase input end of an operational amplifier circuit 2, and a second end of the first resistor R1 is respectively connected to a second end of the secondary winding, a ground wire and a negative phase input end of the operational amplifier circuit 2, for collecting current and converting the current into voltage.

[0064] In the utility model, the current detection device 1 includes: a current transformer and a first resistor R1, wherein the current transformer is connected in series in the circuit to be measured, and senses the current of the circuit to be measured through the primary winding and the secondary winding. Since the first resistor R1 is arranged at both ends of the secondary winding of the current transformer, the voltage across the first resistor R1 is the voltage corresponding to the current collected by itself, and the current on the circuit to be measured is accurately collected and converted into voltage.

[0065] It should be noted that the overcurrent protection circuit is Figure 2 As shown: the primary side of the current transformer reduces the high-voltage side current of the circuit to be tested (high-voltage side power circuit) by N times and transmits it to the secondary side of the current transformer, then flows through the first resistor R1 to become a differential voltage, is amplified or reduced by the operational amplifier circuit 2, and then sent to the first comparator and the second comparator. Because the high-voltage side current has positive and negative directions, it is necessary to protect both positive and negative overcurrents in a timely manner, so two comparator modules are required. When there is a positive overcurrent, the voltage at the negative input terminal of the first comparator will exceed the voltage at the positive input terminal, and the voltage sent to the controller (MCU, Microcontroller Unit) will drop from a high level to a low level. At this time, the controller will block the drive inside the chip, so that the high-voltage side current gradually decreases, and the sampling voltage of the current conversion will also decrease accordingly. At this time, the voltage at the positive input terminal of the first comparator will also decrease. When the current drops to a very small level, the output voltage of the first comparator will flip back from a low level to a high level again. This is a typical hysteresis circuit design. When negative overcurrent occurs, the voltage at the negative input terminal of the second comparator will exceed the voltage at the positive input terminal, and the voltage sent to the controller will drop from a high level to a low level. At this time, the controller will block the drive inside the chip, causing the current on the high-voltage side to gradually decrease. The sampling voltage of the current conversion will increase accordingly, and the voltage at the positive input terminal of the second comparator will increase. When the current drops to a very small level, the output voltage of the second comparator will flip back from a low level to a high level again.

[0066] It should also be noted that a PNP transistor and a diode are used in the negative overcurrent protection circuit. The purpose is that when the output voltage of the second comparator is high, the transistor and the diode will not work, and the voltage potential of the positive input terminal of the comparator is fixed; when the output voltage of the second comparator is low, the transistor and the diode will work, and the voltage of the positive input terminal of the comparator will increase (the voltage across the first capacitor C1), so that the overcurrent threshold will produce a hysteresis interval. That is to say, when a negative overcurrent occurs, the controller blocks the drive after receiving a low level. Only when the current sampling voltage rises to a level higher than the voltage across the first capacitor C1, the signal received by the controller will flip back to a high level, and the drive can be unblocked. The key point of this circuit is that the hysteresis circuit is added to both the positive overcurrent and the negative overcurrent, so that the controller has enough time to receive the overcurrent signal (low level) to prevent the overcurrent signal from flipping to a low level and then quickly flipping back to a high level, which will cause the controller to fail to block the drive in time, causing the switch device to be damaged by excessive stress.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the operational amplifier circuit 2 includes:

[0068] a second resistor R2, wherein a first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to a first end of the first resistor R1, and a second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to a non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier;

[0069] a third resistor R3, wherein a first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to a second end of the first resistor R1, and a second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to a negative phase input end of the operational amplifier;

[0070] An operational amplifier, wherein the output end of the operational amplifier is respectively connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4, the negative phase input end of the positive comparison circuit 3 and the positive phase input end of the negative comparison circuit 4, for linearly amplifying the voltage;

[0071] a fourth resistor R4, wherein a second end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to a first end of the first capacitor C1;

[0072] a fifth resistor R5, wherein a first end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the second end of the first capacitor C1, and a second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first reference power supply;

[0073] A first capacitor C1, a second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to a second end of the second resistor R2;

[0074] A second capacitor C2, the second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with a fourth resistor R4;

[0075] The third capacitor C3 is connected in parallel with the fifth capacitor C5.

[0076] In the utility model, the operational amplifier circuit 2 includes: a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, an operational amplifier, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2 and a third capacitor C3, wherein the present application changes the feedback resistance of the operational amplifier by changing the parameters of the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, and the voltage values ​​output by the operational amplifier are all positive values ​​by changing the feedback resistance.

[0077] It should be noted that, because there are positive currents and negative currents, the voltage corresponding to the current has positive voltages and negative voltages. For example, if the voltage range of the negative voltage after amplification is -1.5V-0V, and the voltage range of the positive voltage after amplification is 0-1.5V, in order to ensure that the voltage output by the operational amplifier is positive, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 are introduced as feedback resistors of the operational amplifier, so that the voltage range of the negative voltage after amplification is 0-1.5V, and the voltage range of the positive voltage after amplification is 0-1.5V. The voltage range is 1.5-3V. When the resistance value of the second resistor R2 is equal to (=) the resistance value of the third resistor R3, and the resistance value of the fourth resistor R4 is equal to (=) the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5, the output voltage Vo of the operational amplifier is Vo=(R5 / R2)*(Iin*R1 / N)+V1, where N is the current transformer ratio, Iin is the current collected by the first resistor R1, Vo is known, and V1 is a known first reference voltage, so that the resistance values ​​of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, and the fifth resistor R5 can be inferred.

[0078] As an optional embodiment, the forward comparison circuit 3 includes:

[0079] a sixth resistor R6, wherein a first end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the output end of the operational amplifier circuit 2, and a second end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the negative phase input end of the first comparator;

[0081] A fourth capacitor C4, a first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the negative phase input terminal of the first comparator, and a second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded.

[0082] In the present utility model, the forward comparison circuit 3 includes: a sixth resistor R6, a first comparator and a fourth capacitor C4, wherein the sixth resistor R6 and the fourth capacitor C4 constitute an RC filter module, which performs corresponding filtering on the amplified electric energy output by the operational amplifier circuit 2, so that the first comparator compares the filtered voltage value with the first reference voltage value of the first reference module, and when the amplified voltage value is greater than the first reference voltage value, the first comparator will output a preset level signal of a first preset time to the controller, so that the controller performs accurate blocking drive after receiving the preset level signal.

[0083] As an optional embodiment, it further includes: a first reference module; wherein the first reference module includes:

[0084] a seventh resistor R7, wherein a first end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to a second reference power supply, and a second end of the seventh resistor R7 is respectively connected to a non-inverting input end of the first comparator, a first end of an eighth resistor R8, and a first end of a ninth resistor R9, and is used for converting a voltage at the second end of the seventh resistor R7 from a first threshold voltage to a second threshold voltage after the first comparator outputs a preset level signal, wherein the first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage, and when the first comparator outputs a preset level signal, the first threshold voltage is less than the amplified voltage value;

[0085] An eighth resistor R8, a second end of the eighth resistor R8 is grounded;

[0086] a ninth resistor R9, wherein a second end of the ninth resistor R9 is connected to the output end of the first comparator;

[0088] In the utility model, the first reference module includes: a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9 and a fifth capacitor C5. The three resistors are used for voltage division, and the voltage value after voltage division is the first threshold voltage when the first comparator outputs a preset level signal. When the first comparator outputs a preset level signal, the voltage value after voltage division becomes the second threshold voltage. Because the first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage, when the negative input terminal of the first comparator just switches from a high voltage to a low voltage, the first comparator will not immediately output the preset level signal. At this time, the first comparator, as a hysteresis comparator, will output a preset level signal of the first preset time according to its own hysteresis comparison interval to ensure that the controller has enough time to receive the preset level signal.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, the negative comparison circuit 4 includes:

[0092] As an optional embodiment, it further includes: a second reference module; wherein the second reference module includes:

[0096] A diode, wherein the anode of the diode is connected to the base of the PNP transistor, and the cathode of the diode is connected to the fourth reference power supply;
