Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PoE power supply, in particular to a photovoltaic component for PoE power supply. Background Art
[0002] Power over Ethernet (PoE) is also called PoE power supply. It is a technology that can transmit power and data to devices through twisted pair cables in Ethernet. Through this technology, devices including Internet phones, wireless base stations, cameras, hubs, computers, etc. can be powered by PoE technology. Since electronic devices that can be powered by Ethernet do not need additional power sockets, they can save time and money to configure power cords, making the cost of the entire device system relatively lower. At present, RJ-45 network sockets are widely used in the world, so various PoE devices are compatible. PoE does not need to change the Ethernet cable architecture to operate, so the use of PoE system not only saves costs and is easy to install, but also has the ability to remotely power on and off. The solar controller is responsible for coordinating the work of solar panels, loads, and secondary batteries, and can provide constant voltage and current limiting output as required.
[0003] Existing solar controllers can provide power to various DC loads, but there is no controller on the market that can directly power network devices with PoE interfaces, which means that PoE power supply devices cannot be directly powered by solar energy. Therefore, we need to propose a photovoltaic module for PoE power supply, and the photovoltaic module controller can give priority to powering PD. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.
[0023] See also Figure 1-8 , the utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic component for PoE power supply, including a POE power controller, a PD device electrically connected to the POE power controller, and a photovoltaic component, a battery pack, and a POE power supply device for powering the PD device according to the power supply priority, the POE power supply device includes a POE switch, a PC and a POE bridge, the power supply voltage range of the POE power supply device is 50-57V, and the upper limit of the output voltage of the PSE end of the POE power controller is 57-60V;
[0024] In order to provide more stable power to the load, the POE power controller provides a battery interface for the battery pack to connect. The surplus power is stored in the energy storage battery. When the power generation is insufficient or no power is generated, the battery provides power output for the load.
[0025] In order to ensure that the power generated by the photovoltaic module is provided to the PoE interface first, a power monitoring and battery charging and discharging control module is set between the controller DC-DC module and the PSE module. The external battery is charged only when the output power of the photovoltaic module is sufficient. When the output of the photovoltaic module is insufficient and the battery power is sufficient, the battery powers the PSE module.
[0026] PoE is the most resource-saving protocol for Ethernet terminals. To this solution, a solar power connection solution is added, and the interface of the PoE photovoltaic module is connected in series between the PoE terminal and the back-end equipment. When there is sufficient sunlight, the power supply of the PoE terminal is provided by the photovoltaic module, and the photovoltaic module has surplus power, which is stored in the external battery pack; if the sunlight is not sufficient, the module power supply is insufficient, and the insufficient power is provided by the battery, and the remaining insufficient power is provided by the back-end PoE power supply device.
[0027] The POE power controller includes a connected boost control circuit, a power management circuit, a network signal isolation circuit, and a terminal J3, a terminal J4 and a terminal J5 connected to the power management circuit.

Any connector interface RJ45 connected to the PD device can obtain power supply, and the sum of the output powers of the three connector interfaces RJ45 is not more than 100W.
[0028] The network signal isolation circuit is composed of eight diodes D10~D13 and D22~D25, which are used to disconnect the positive and negative poles of the PoE power controller power supply from the RJ45 interface; when the PD device and the PSE device are connected to the RJ45 interface of the PoE power controller, the signal pairs 1~signal pairs 4 of the PD device and the PSE device are physically connected through the RJ45 connector, and the positive pole of the PoE power controller power supply is used to power the device through the principle of forward conduction of the PN poles of D22~D25. At the same time, the electrical signal on the signal pair cannot be reversed because it is at the N pole, and the signal cannot be serially connected to the PoE power controller.
[0029] The PoE power supply protocol of IEEE802.3bt protocol requires an output voltage range of 44V to 57V. The output voltage of a PoE switch that complies with this protocol is typically 50V.

[0031] The present application provides a solar panel or photovoltaic module controller that can directly power PoE interface devices, and can be connected in series to the existing PoE device power supply network. It does not affect the original power supply and signal transmission, and adds a power supply sequence of solar energy priority 1, external battery priority 2, and AC power (original power supply network) priority 3.
[0032] The power output interface of the POE power controller uses RJ-45. According to the PSE end requirements of the PoE protocol IEEE 802.3BT standard, the RJ-45 interface pi n1 and pi n4 are connected to the DC60V+ power supply respectively, and the power supply and protection control are realized by monitoring the current of the RJ-45 interface pi n1 and pi n4.

An inductor L1 is connected between one terminal of the diodes D18, D19, D20 and D21 and pin 1 of the terminal J2.
