Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a multi - path power supply and backup power logic circuit for a new type of Internet of Things meter. Background Art
[0002] Due to the popularization and implementation of the OIML R46 - 1 / -2 international standard in China and the corresponding revisions of the GB / T 17215.211, GB / T17215.321, and JJF 1245 series of standards, the design of intelligent electricity meters needs to meet new technical requirements. At the same time, combined with the long - term operation of hundreds of millions of electricity meters, on - site application experience over the years, and new demands, the State Grid has issued the new 2020 standard for electricity meters, which standardizes and unifies the technical requirements and test items for the specifications, applicable environments, mechanical properties, electrical properties, anti - interference, and reliability of intelligent electricity meters, and standardizes the inspection rules and operation quality management requirements for electricity meters. Limited by the space structure, cost requirements, and complex power supply and backup power logic, the development of a multi - path power supply and backup power logic circuit applicable to a new type of Internet of Things meter is particularly important.
[0003] The applicant found through analyzing the power supply and backup power requirements of Internet of Things meters that due to the particularity of their functions, there are quite a few difficulties in the logic design of the power supply system of Internet of Things meters. It is necessary to integrate energy storage and power supply devices such as DC - DC, supercapacitors, and lithium batteries, and there is also a relatively complex consumption logic after power failure. In the initial stage of power - on, a large supply current is required; the applicant found that the SOC needs three - path power supply, including two paths of digital power and analog power, and one path of clock power supply. The basic logic integration is as follows: when power - on, the power supply is used, and energy storage devices are not used. The supercapacitor is charged within 10 minutes. After power failure, the supercapacitor is preferentially used for power supply; in the case of no battery, after the supercapacitor satisfies the power - off information processing for 50s, the supercapacitor only supplies power to the clock and ensures that the clock works for more than 48 hours without entering the low - power mode. In the case of having a battery after power failure, after the supercapacitor is discharged, the battery is used to supply the low - power mode and the clock.
[0004] In view of the above - listed technical difficulties, the present application provides a multi - path power supply and backup power logic circuit applicable to a new type of Internet of Things meter. Using discrete devices to build it avoids the high cost of using a power management chip, has low power consumption of the circuit itself, stable functions, and can adapt to a variety of new types of Internet of Things meters by adjusting corresponding parameters.

[0032] Figure 1 is the circuit principle schematic diagram of the present utility model. Detailed Embodiment
[0033] As Figure 1 , a multi-channel power supply and backup power logic circuit for a new type of Internet of Things meter, includes a supercapacitor charging module and a voltage regulator U1;
[0034] The supercapacitor charging module includes a resistor module in which the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel in series, a diode D1, and a capacitor C1;
[0035] The input ends of the parallel resistors R1 and R2 are connected to +5.2V;
[0036] One end of the capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end is respectively connected to the diodes D1 and D2;
[0037] +5.2V is connected to the clock battery-powered AVBAT network and the VIN terminal of the voltage regulator U1 through the diode D3 respectively. The output terminal of the diode D3 is also grounded through the capacitor C6;
[0038] The network battery current ABATT is grounded through the parallel-connected capacitor C2 and resistor R4, and the other path is connected to the resistor R3;
[0039] The output terminal of the resistor R3 is connected to the diodes D4, D6 and the resistor R5 respectively;
[0040] The output terminal of the diode D4 is connected to the output terminal of the diode D3;
[0041] The resistor R5 is connected to the power supply E1, and the power supply E1 is shunted with the capacitor C3;
[0042] The output terminal of the diode D6 is connected to the output terminal of the diode D5;
[0043] VCM - 5V is connected to the diode D5;
[0044] The output terminals of the diodes D5 and D6 are connected to the enable pin EN of the voltage regulator U1 on one path, and to the ground through the parallel-connected capacitors C4, C5 and the resistor R6 on the other path;
[0045] The GND terminal of the voltage regulator U1 is grounded, and the VOUT terminal outputs AVCC5V.
[0046] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:
[0047] The resistors R1 and R2 are current-limiting resistors;
[0048] +5.2V is output by DC - DC power supply from the network +5.2V;
[0049] The diode D1 is an anti-backflow diode, and the capacitor C1 is a super capacitor.
[0050] In the discharge state, the capacitor C1 is connected to the clock battery-powered AVBAT network through the diode D2.
[0051] The power supply E1 is a lithium battery, the capacitor C3 is a voltage-regulating capacitor, the resistor R5 is a safety resistor, the resistors R3 and R4 are voltage-dividing resistors, and the capacitor C2 is a debounce capacitor.
[0052] The capacitors C4 and C5 are energy storage capacitors;
[0053] The capacitor C6 is the input capacitor of the voltage regulator U1.
[0054] As the preferred working principle: One path of the input voltage 5.2V is charged to the capacitor C1 and supplies power to the AVBAT through the diode D2 after being current-limited by the resistor group R1 and R2, and then passes through the diode D1; the other path of the input voltage 5.2V is output to the AVBAT through the diode D3;
[0055] After being filtered, divided by capacitance C2 and resistance R4, ABATT is branched into two paths through resistance R3. One path is connected to AVBAT through diode D4, and the other path is connected to the regulator drive enable terminal EN through diode D6.
[0056] After being regulated by capacitance C3, battery E1 is also connected to diodes D6 and D4 through resistance R6.
[0057] VCM_5v drives the enable terminal through diode D6.
[0058] The logic selection is composed of three diodes D2, D3, and D4 to complete the regulator input under different power supply modes; the regulator U1 provides a stable AVCC_5V voltage for the subsequent circuits such as MCU and memory under different power supply modes for the three input voltages.
[0059] The regulator output terminal Vout supplies power to the MCU and memory; ABATT is used for clock battery detection; VCM_5V is the output voltage of the DC-DC power supply.
[0060] The network +5.2V and VCM_5V use DC-DC to supply 5.2V and 5V voltages. R1, R2, D1, and C1 form the supercapacitor charging part. R1 and R2 are current-limiting resistors to prevent overload caused by excessive initial charging current; the D1 diode prevents the supercapacitor C1 from back-feeding after power-off. When discharging, C1 supplies power to the clock battery supply AVBAT network through D2. D2 forms an AND logic with D3 and D4, so that it can ensure that the power supply is used during power-on and energy storage devices are not used. The sizes of R1 and R2 determine whether the supercapacitor can be fully charged within 10 minutes.
[0061] E1 is a lithium battery. C3 is only used as a voltage-regulating capacitor. The resistance value of R5 is very small and can be ignored. R3 and R4 are high-precision resistors used for voltage division to facilitate the MCU to sample and monitor the battery voltage. C2 is an anti-shake capacitor to prevent sampling deviation. U1 is an LDO. D5 and D6 form an AND logic to supply the enable pin of the LDO. The functions of C4 and C5 are energy storage. When the front end of D5 and D6 loses power, the voltage on the enable pin will not drop immediately, but will slowly discharge through R6 and gradually drop below the threshold voltage of the enable pin, and the LDO will turn off. C6 is only the input capacitor of the LDO.
[0062] This circuit fully meets the logic requirements: use the power supply during power-on and do not use energy storage devices; give priority to using the supercapacitor for power supply after power-off; when there is no battery, the supercapacitor should meet the information processing requirements for a certain period of time, and then the supercapacitor only supplies power to the clock and ensures that the clock works for more than 48 hours without entering the low-power mode; when there is a battery after power-off, after the supercapacitor is discharged, the battery is used to supply the low-power mode and the clock.
[0063] The present utility model is fully described for clearer disclosure, and the prior art will not be enumerated one by one.
