Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of circuits, in particular to a circuit for clamping a relay voltage. Background Art

[0002] When designing a charger, a relay needs to be connected in series at the output end because of the need to control the safety standards for output voltage and current. As the current used by electrical appliances increases, the current at the output end of the charger must also output a large current, so the relay used should also be able to withstand a large current. As the current increases, the corresponding output voltage of the charger will also increase, resulting in the relay being able to withstand a large voltage, and the voltage withstand value of the relay must also be considered. For example, when the voltage of the charging power supply is 80V, the voltage withstand specification of the relay should be greater than 80V, and the increase in the voltage withstand value of the relay is often related to the coil material and the number of turns of the coil of the relay. The more turns, the higher the voltage withstand value. As a result, the increase in the voltage withstand value of the relay will lead to an increase in the number of turns of the coil of the relay, causing the volume of the relay to increase accordingly, which will cause inconvenience during use, and the cost of using the relay will also increase accordingly.

[0032] When the circuit of the clamping relay voltage is working, the mains inputs electric energy into the rectifier module 110, and the rectifier module 110 converts the AC power of the mains into DC power and outputs it to the LLC module 120.

It should be noted that the resistor R30, the resistor R47 and the resistor R48 act as a voltage divider, and the resistor R47 and the resistor R48 are connected in parallel, so that the voltage of the A end and the B end is less than the voltage of the No. 1 end and the No. 2 end of the resistor R30; the diode D2 prevents the current of the LLC module 120 from flowing directly from the clamping circuit to the rechargeable battery to prevent the clamping voltage from failing.

[0046] It should be noted that the input power supply 141 provides power to the relay KI 142 to control the closing or disconnection of the relay KI 142; the relay KI 142 is used to control the process of the LLC module 120 charging the rechargeable battery 20; the diode D1 can prevent the induced current generated by the coil on the relay KI 142 from flowing out from the No. 3 terminal of the relay KI 142 in the reverse direction, thereby preventing the transistor Q1 from being affected; the resistor R34 and the resistor R35 resistor R34 shunts the current output from the No. 4 terminal of the relay KI 142 to prevent the large current from impacting the transistor Q1; the transistor Q1 is used to control the on and off of the on-off circuit 140; the resistor R37 is used as a pull-down resistor to clamp the input signal to a high potential, and the resistor R36 is used to prevent the input level voltage from being too large to prevent damage to the base B of the transistor Q1; the capacitor C20 is used to reduce the interference of the ripple on the output voltage to prevent the charging process of the rechargeable battery. In this embodiment, the on and off of the input power source 141 is controlled by the MCU inside the charging unit 10 , and the input signal P1 is output by the MCU inside the charging unit 10 .

[0047] In summary, during the specific implementation of this embodiment, when the rechargeable battery 20 is connected to the charging unit 10, some weak current will be released from the rechargeable battery 20. When this part of the current flows from the positive electrode of the rechargeable battery 20 into the resistor R47 and the No. 2 terminal of the resistor R48 of the clamp circuit 130, it flows into the anode P2 of the diode D2 through the No. 1 terminal of the resistor R47 and the resistor R48, and then flows out from the cathode N2 of the diode D2 to the No. 1 terminal of the resistor R30, and finally returns to the negative electrode of the rechargeable battery 20 through the No. 2 terminal of the resistor R30. Through the voltage division principle of the series circuit, the voltages at the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the resistor R30 are greater than the voltages at the two terminals AB. At this time, the voltages at the two terminals of the relay KI142 are the voltages at the two terminals AB, so the voltages at the two terminals of the relay KI142 are limited by the clamp. At this time, the MCU inside the charging unit 10 detects the connection of the rechargeable battery 20, inputs the driving signal P1 to the base B of the transistor Q1, and controls the input power supply 141 to output current to flow into the terminal 3 of the relay KI 142, and flow out from the terminal 4 through the terminals 1 of the resistors R34 and R35, and finally flow out from the terminals 2 of the resistors R34 and R35 to the collector C of the transistor Q1. The driving signal P1 is input to the base B of the transistor Q1 through the terminal 1 of the resistor R36, so that the voltage of the collector C is greater than the driving signal level of the base B, and the driving signal level of the base B is greater than the voltage of the emitter E, so that the transistor Q1 is turned on, and the input power supply 141 inputs current from the terminal 3 of the relay KI 142 and flows out from the terminal 4 of the relay KI 142. At this time, the coil in the relay KI 142 is energized, and the switches at the terminals 1 and 2 of the relay KI 142 are attracted. As a result, the on-off circuit 140 is turned on, and the AC power can be input into the rectifier module 110 for rectification and output as DC power. The DC power then flows into the A terminal from the terminal 1 of the relay KI142 through the LLC module 120, and flows out from the terminal 2 of the relay KI 142 to the positive electrode of the rechargeable battery 20, and finally flows back from the negative electrode of the rechargeable battery 20 to the LLC module 130, so as to complete the charging process of the rechargeable battery 20.

[0048] When the MCU detects that the rechargeable battery 20 is fully charged, it will not send a driving signal to the transistor Q1. At this time, the MCU also controls the input power supply 141 to stop providing power to the relay KI 142. Therefore, no current flows through the terminals 3 and 4 of the relay KI 142. The internal coils of the terminals 3 and 4 of the relay KI 142 are not energized, and the switches of the terminals 1 and 2 of the relay KI 142 cannot be attracted. That is, the switches of the terminals 1 and 2 are disconnected, so that the power of the LLC module 130 cannot be transmitted to the rechargeable battery 20, and the charging unit 10 will no longer charge the rechargeable battery 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, the voltage of the rechargeable battery 20 is 80V, the charging current is 50A, and the specification of the relay used needs to be greater than 80V / 50A. Through external voltage sampling, it is obtained that the conduction voltage drop of the diode D2 is 1.5V, the resistance of the resistor R47 and the resistor R48 in parallel is 1Ω, and the resistance of the resistor R30 is 9Ω, which is greater than the resistance of the resistor R47 and the resistor R48 in parallel. According to Kirchhoff's voltage law, the voltage at the 1st and 2nd terminals of the resistor R47 and the resistor R48 in parallel is , so the voltages at the A and B terminals are 7.85V+1.5V=9.35V. At this time, the voltage at both ends of the relay KI 152 is limited to 9.35V, and the voltage withstand value of the relay voltage specification only needs to be greater than 9.35V. Therefore, the clamping circuit 140 is used as a voltage limiting circuit to control the voltage at both ends of the relay KI 152, and then when the charging power supply voltage is high, the relay voltage withstand value specification can be selected to be lower than the power supply voltage. When the charging power supply voltage is high, a relay with a smaller voltage withstand value specification is used, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0050] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
