Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuits, in particular to an undervoltage protection circuit. Background Art

[0002] At present, it is usually required to set an undervoltage protection circuit on the power board of a laser printer to protect the circuit.

[0003] In the related art, Figure 1 U1B, Q3, etc. shown. Specifically, the inverting input of the op amp is connected to the Vref voltage, which is the reference voltage and continuously outputs a high level. The non-inverting input of the op amp is connected to the Vos voltage. When the Vos voltage is low, the op amp outputs a high level, which turns on Q3 and pulls down the VOFF drive voltage to enter a protection state. However, when the VO-ON / OFF signal is input at a high level to turn on the power, due to the timing difference between the Vos voltage and the Vref voltage, the Vos voltage is not quickly established and is still at a low level, while the Vref voltage reference is at a high level and continuously output. Therefore, the op amp output is at a high level at the moment of power on, causing Q3 to still be turned on, thereby pulling down the VOFF level, and the power supply enters a protection state, causing the laser printer to fail to turn on.

[0025] See also Figure 1 An undervoltage protection circuit includes: a starting end 100, an operational amplifier module 200 and an adjustment module 300, the operational amplifier module 200 includes an operational amplifier, a delay unit, a resistor R14 and a MOS tube Q3, the delay unit is electrically connected to the operational amplifier, the first end of the resistor R14 is electrically connected to the delay unit, and the second end of the resistor R14 is electrically connected to the MOS tube Q3; the adjustment module 300 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R14, and the starting end 100 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 300.

[0026] It should be noted that the start-up terminal 100 is VO-ON / OFF, which is used to input a high level to start up, the delay unit plays a delay role, the resistor R14 is a current limiting resistor, and the MOS tube Q3 plays a switch role. By setting the adjustment module 300, the level of the output of the operational amplifier can be pulled down at the moment of starting up the start-up terminal, thereby providing time for the VOS voltage to be established. After the VOS voltage is established, it is ensured that the output of the operational amplifier is always at a low level, so that the MOS tube Q3 will not be turned on, so that the laser printer can start up normally.

[0027] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, the operational amplifier module 200 further includes a first voltage input terminal, which is electrically connected to the operational amplifier. Specifically, the operational amplifier module 200 further includes a second voltage input terminal and a resistor R16, wherein a first terminal of the resistor R16 is electrically connected to the second voltage input terminal, and a second terminal of the resistor R16 is electrically connected to the operational amplifier.

[0028] It should be noted that the first voltage input terminal is a negative input terminal for inputting a VOS voltage, and the second voltage input terminal is a positive input terminal for inputting a Vref voltage, and the reference of the Vref voltage is a high level.

[0029] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the regulating module includes a capacitor C18, and the first end of the capacitor C18 is electrically connected to the start end. Specifically, the regulating module 300 also includes a resistor R19 and a diode D10, the first end of the resistor R19 is electrically connected to the second end of the capacitor C18, the second end of the resistor R19 is electrically connected to the first end of the diode D10, and the second end of the diode D10 is grounded. Specifically, the regulating module 300 also includes a transistor Q4, the first end of the transistor Q4 is electrically connected to the second end of the resistor R19, the second end of the transistor Q4 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R14, and the third end of the transistor Q4 is grounded.

[0030] It should be noted that the first end of the transistor Q4 is the base, the second end is the collector, and the third end is the emitter. The capacitor C18 plays the role of isolating direct current and passing alternating current. Specifically, at the moment when the start-up end 100 is started, part of the alternating current signal will be generated. By utilizing the characteristics of the capacitor C18 isolating direct current and passing alternating current, the regulating module 300 can only be turned on at the moment of starting up, that is, the transistor Q4 will be turned on at the moment of starting up, that is, when the base is at a high level, the current flows from the base to the emitter to form a base current, and at the same time, the collector current flows to the emitter. This current is relatively large, and the collector and the emitter can be regarded as a short circuit. At this time, the transistor Q4 is equivalent to a switch, and then outputs a low level to the MOS tube Q3, and the MOS tube Q3 is cut off. After the VOS voltage is established, the printer starts up normally. In addition, when the start-up end is started, direct current will be provided, so the regulating module 300 is only turned on at an instant, and will not be continuously turned on after starting up, which ensures that the output of the operational amplifier is always at a low level, and the protection circuit will not fail after starting up, which solves the problem of starting up without affecting the protection function. The resistor R19 serves as a current limiter, and the diode D10 serves as an electrostatic protection device.

Specifically, the delay unit also includes a capacitor C16, a first end of which is electrically connected to a second end of the resistor R17, and a second end of the capacitor C16 is grounded.

[0032] It should be noted that the resistance of the resistor R17 is relatively large, the capacitor C16 is a charging capacitor, and the resistor R17 serves to delay the charging time of the capacitor C16.

[0033] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, a boost module is also included, and the boost module is electrically connected to the MOS tube Q3.

[0034] It should be noted that the boost module is used to increase the voltage to 6600V.

[0035] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, it also includes an output end, which is electrically connected to the boost module.

[0036] It should be noted that the output terminal is Vout, which is used to output 660V to the laser printer.
