[0032] The first pin of the optocoupler U301C is connected to the controller through the resistor R310. The second pin of the optocoupler U301C is grounded.

[0033] In the present utility model, the first pin of U300A, U300B, U300C, U301A, U301B, and U301C is the anode of the light-emitting diode of the light-emitting end, the second pin is the cathode of the light-emitting diode of the light-emitting end, the third pin is the collector of the light-receiving triode, and the fourth pin is the emitter of the light-receiving triode.

[0034] Specifically, the models of the first optocoupler U300A, the second optocoupler U300B, and the third optocoupler U300C are ELQ3H7. The optocoupler realizes the photoelectric conversion of electrical signals through the photoelectric effect and uses light as a medium to transmit electrical signals, thereby achieving the photoelectric isolation of the input and output circuits and effectively suppressing the transmission of interference signals. The present utility model selects ELQ3H7 as the optocoupler, which has the advantages of high isolation degree, low coupling capacitance, and low leakage current, and is suitable for signal transmission and control systems that require high precision and high stability, thus greatly expanding the application scenarios of the present utility model.

[0035] Specifically, the model of the driver chip U310 is ULQ2003A. The control signal output by the optocoupler is too small in current to directly drive the subsequent relay. Using this driver chip can amplify the small current signal after photoelectric conversion, thereby realizing the drive of the relay. ULQ2003A is a high-voltage, large-current Darlington transistor array that can output a relatively large drive current. At the same time, the chip also has a common cathode clamping diode for switching inductive loads and can be applicable to various application scenarios that require high voltage and large current.

[0036] Specifically, the models of the first relay REL300, the second relay REL301, and the third relay REL302 are HF46F / 24-HS1. A relay can control a large current in another controlled circuit through a small current in the control circuit. Since the solenoid valve requires a relatively large current (power) to operate and cannot be driven by the output signal of the controller, three relays are needed to amplify the power of the controller's output signal. The selected HF46F series relays in this design support multiple rated voltages and rated current levels, have strong contact load capabilities, and support multiple channel specifications, which can well meet the driving requirements of solenoid valves of different specifications and improve the on-site adaptability.

[0037] Specifically, the models of the first bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode T330, the second bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode T331, and the third bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode T332 are SMBJ24CA. The bidirectional transient suppression diode mainly realizes bidirectional overvoltage protection, that is, overvoltage protection for both positive and negative voltages, and can protect electrical equipment from being damaged by positive and negative voltage spikes introduced by wires. When its two poles are subjected to a transient high-energy impact, it can change the high impedance between the two poles to a low impedance at the nanosecond level, absorb the surge power at the same time, and clamp the voltage between the two poles to a safe value, thus effectively protecting the subsequent circuit devices from being damaged by surge pulses. Through the above three bidirectional transient suppression diodes, surge protection for the relay coil is achieved, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the control circuit in a harsh industrial field environment.

[0038] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0039] The controller runs a pre-set control program and outputs high and low level control signals from the corresponding pins. The output high and low level signals are first subjected to optoelectronic conversion through the optocoupler module to achieve electrical isolation between the front-end low-power control signal and the back-end high-power circuit, so as to protect the controller from being interfered with and damaged by the high-power circuit.

[0040] The control signal output through the optocoupler is still relatively weak in signal strength. After being amplified in power by the drive module, it drives the relay module to act, realizes the on and off of the relay contacts, and connects the relay contacts to the first connector CON12, then various types of solenoid valves can be externally connected.

[0041] Through the above signal link, the function of outputting high and low level control signals from the controller to control the on and off of various types of solenoid valves on site is realized.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be changed within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge in related fields. Any changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
