[0042] APs are typically used as wireless switches in wireless networks and are the core of wireless networks. APs serve as access points for mobile computer users to wired networks. They are primarily used in broadband homes, within buildings, and within campuses, and can provide coverage ranging from tens to hundreds of meters. However, APs are typically designed to be ungrounded. During surge testing, POE switches are typically grounded. This creates a high-voltage loop through the POE switch, making the AP susceptible to damage from surges.

[0043] The PSE interface in an AP device is the interface used by the AP device to receive power. The PSE interface transmits power via an Ethernet cable and can provide a stable DC power supply to the AP device. The LAN interface in an AP device is the interface used by the AP device to connect to a local network (such as a home or office network). Through the LAN interface, the AP device can receive instructions and data from network devices such as routers and switches, and can also send data from wireless clients to the local network. The PD interface in an AP device generally refers to the interface that connects the AP device as a powered device to a power supply device. In power transmission and data communication, the PD interface is the interface used to receive power provided by the power supply device, ensuring that the AP device can receive a stable power supply to maintain its normal operation.

[0044] Based on the above problems, the surge protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first surge protection module and a second surge protection module. When performing a surge test, the first surge protection module can be set between the PSE interface in the AP device and the PD interface in the AP device, and the second surge protection module can be set between the LAN interface in the AP device and the PD interface in the AP device, and the PD interface in the AP device is connected to the POE switch. Since the first surge protection module can reduce the first surge energy input to the PSE interface externally and transmit the reduced first surge energy to the PD interface, the second surge protection module can reduce the second surge energy input to the LAN interface externally and transmit the reduced second surge energy to the PD interface. After receiving the reduced first surge energy and the reduced second surge energy, the PD interface transmits them to the POE switch, and finally the POE switch exports the surge energy output by the PD interface, thereby ensuring that the AP device will not be damaged by the surge. As can be seen, the surge protection circuit provided in the embodiments of the present application, by adding a first surge protection module and a second surge protection module, reduces the surge energy input to the PSE interface and the LAN interface, respectively, and transmits it to the PD interface, where it is ultimately safely directed by the POE switch. This design ensures that the AP device is effectively protected from surges, preventing damage caused by surges and improving device reliability and stability.

[0045] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0046] Figure 1 FIG1 shows a schematic block diagram of a surge protection circuit 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the surge protection circuit 10 includes a first surge protection module 101 and a second surge protection module 102. The first surge protection module 101 is used to electrically connect to the PSE interface in the AP device, and the second surge protection module 102 is used to electrically connect to the LAN interface in the AP device. The first surge protection module 101 and the second surge protection module 102 are both used to electrically connect to the PD interface in the AP device.

[0047] Specifically, when performing a surge test, the first surge protection module 101 can be installed between the PSE interface and the PD interface of the AP device, and the second surge protection module 102 can be installed between the LAN interface and the PD interface of the AP device. The PD interface of the AP device can then be connected to the POE switch 20. Since the first surge protection module 101 can reduce the first surge energy externally input to the PSE interface and transmit the reduced first surge energy to the PD interface, the second surge protection module 102 can reduce the second surge energy externally input to the LAN interface and transmit the reduced second surge energy to the PD interface. After receiving the reduced first and second surge energies, the PD interface transmits them to the POE switch 20. Ultimately, the POE switch 20 directs the surge energy output from the PD interface (e.g., to the ground), thereby ensuring that the AP device is not damaged by surges. As can be seen, the surge protection circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by adding the first surge protection module 101 and the second surge protection module 102, reduces the surge energy input to the PSE interface and the output from the LAN interface, respectively, and transmits the energy to the PD interface, ultimately safely dissipating the surge through the POE switch 20. This design ensures that the AP device is effectively protected from surges, preventing damage to the device caused by surges and improving the reliability and stability of the device.

[0048] It should be noted that the surge protection circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only reduce the surge energy externally transmitted to the LAN interface, but also reduce the surge energy externally transmitted to the WAN (Wide Area Network port) interface.

[0049] It should be noted that the PSE interface surge test model is as follows Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, the surge generator is electrically connected to the coupling network, and the AP device is electrically connected to the coupling network and the POE switch. The high-voltage surge output by the surge generator is transmitted to the PSE port in the AP device through the coupling network, and then the surge is transmitted to the POE switch through the PD port in the AP device. The LAN interface surge test model is shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 As shown, the surge generator is electrically connected to the coupling network, and the AP is electrically connected to the coupling network, the PD load, and the POE switch. The high-voltage surge output by the surge generator is transmitted through the coupling network to the LAN port of the AP, and then transmitted to the POE switch through the PD port of the AP.

[0050] It should be noted that the first surge protection module 101 and the second surge protection module 102 can transmit the reduced surge energy to the positive electrode of the PD interface or to the negative electrode of the PD interface, which is not limited here. The reduced first surge energy and the reduced second surge energy can be the same or different, and can be limited according to circuit design or user needs.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the first surge protection module 101 includes a first surge protection unit 1011 and a second surge protection unit 1012 , and both the first surge protection unit 1011 and the second surge protection unit 1012 are configured to be electrically connected to a PSE interface in an AP device.

[0052] Specifically, the first surge protection unit 1011 is configured to reduce the first sub-surge energy and transmit the reduced first sub-surge energy to the PD interface in the AP device. The second surge protection unit 1012 is configured to reduce the second sub-surge energy and transmit the reduced second sub-surge energy to the PD interface in the AP device. The first surge protection unit 1011 and the second surge protection unit 1012 are different surge protection units, and the sum of the first sub-surge energy and the second sub-surge energy is equal to the first surge energy. Therefore, the two units have different degrees of surge energy absorption, resulting in different surge energies transmitted to the PD interface, namely, different reduced first sub-surge energy and reduced second sub-surge energy.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the first surge protection unit 1011 includes at least one of a thyristor surge suppressor, a transient voltage suppressor diode, and a varistor.

[0054] Specifically, thyristor surge suppressors are generally used to quickly respond to high voltage surges. They can quickly turn on when the voltage exceeds the set value and direct the surge current to the PD port in the AP device, thereby protecting the device. Transient voltage suppression diodes can quickly turn on when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, absorb overvoltage energy, and direct the energy to the PD port in the AP device. A varistor is a component whose resistance value drops sharply when the voltage exceeds its rated value. It can limit the voltage increase through its own voltage dependence and convert overvoltage energy into heat energy through resistance, thereby protecting the circuit. The three components can be used alone or in combination to provide multi-level protection, ensuring that the device can be effectively protected when encountering different types of surges, and can improve the performance and reliability of the surge protection circuit 10.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5As shown, the second surge protection unit 1012 includes a first diode D1, a second diode D2 and a first TVS tube TVS1. The cathode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the first end of the first TVS tube TVS1 and the first pin of the primary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device, respectively. The anode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the cathode of the second diode D2 and the second pin of the primary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device, respectively. The anode of the second diode D2 and the second end of the first TVS tube TVS1 are both electrically connected to the ground in the AP device.

[0056] Specifically, the first diode D1, located between the positive and negative terminals of the PSE, acts as a fast-recovery diode, rapidly restoring the circuit during voltage fluctuations and reducing the forward voltage rise time and forward current peak. This ensures that when a voltage surge occurs, the first diode D1 can quickly respond and direct the surge current to subsequent components. The second diode D2, acting as a protection diode, quickly releases surge energy to the ground of the AP device. The first TVS diode TVS1 quickly conducts when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, absorbing the overvoltage energy.

[0057] It should be noted that the ground of the AP device is different from the ground to which the POE switch 20 conducts the surge of the PD interface.

[0058] For example, the maximum reverse voltage / reverse withstand voltage of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 can be set to 200V, and the maximum forward current / maximum load current can be set to 1A.

[0059] It should be noted that the first transformer T1 in the AP device serves as a network transformer, can realize network functions, and has isolation and signal filtering functions. The model of the first transformer T1 in the AP device can be G2405CG.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, the second surge protection unit 1012 is further configured to reduce surge energy transmitted from the ground of the AP device to the PD interface in the AP device.

[0061] Specifically, since the surge energy can be transmitted to the ground of the AP device and then transmitted from the ground of the AP device to the PD interface of the AP device, the second surge protection unit 1012 further includes a protection device connected to the anode of the second diode D2, which can be at least one of a thyristor surge suppressor, a transient voltage suppressor diode, and a varistor.

[0062] It should be noted that Figure 5 The first common-mode inductor L1 is used for electromagnetic interference filtering.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6As shown, the PSE interface is provided with two RJ45 interfaces, one of which is connected to the primary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device to facilitate data communication with the first transformer T1 in the AP device, and the other RJ45 interface is connected to the primary coil of the second transformer T2 in the AP device to facilitate data communication with the second transformer T2 in the AP device.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the second surge protection module 102 includes at least one of a thyristor surge suppressor, a transient voltage suppressor diode, and a varistor.

[0065] Specifically, the second surge protection module 102 and the first surge protection unit 1011 have essentially the same functions. Therefore, the components in the second surge protection module 102 and the first surge protection unit 1011 are similar, and the functions of each component are essentially similar. Among them, a thyristor surge suppressor is typically used to quickly respond to high-voltage surges. It can quickly turn on when the voltage exceeds a set value, directing the surge current to the PD port in the AP device, thereby protecting the device. A transient voltage suppressor diode can quickly turn on when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, absorbing overvoltage energy and directing the energy to the PD port in the AP device. A varistor is a component whose resistance value drops sharply when the voltage exceeds its rated value. It can limit voltage increases through its own voltage dependence and convert overvoltage energy into heat energy through resistance, thereby protecting the circuit. Used alone or in combination, these three components can provide multiple levels of protection, ensuring that the device is effectively protected when encountering different types of surges, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the surge protection circuit 10.

[0066] It should be noted that the second transformer T2 in the AP device serves as a network transformer, can realize network functions, and has isolation and signal filtering functions. The model of the second transformer T2 in the AP device can be G2405CG.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the surge protection circuit 10 further includes a third surge protection module 103 and a fourth surge protection module 104. The third surge protection module 103 is used to be electrically connected to the secondary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device, and the fourth surge protection module 104 is used to be electrically connected to the secondary coil of the second transformer T2 in the AP device.

[0068] Specifically, the primary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device receives the first surge energy output by the PSE interface in the AP device. Due to the electromagnetic induction of the first transformer T1, the surge energy is induced on the secondary side of the first transformer T1. The third surge protection module 103 can absorb the surge energy in the secondary coil of the first transformer T1. The primary coil of the second transformer T2 in the AP device receives the second surge energy output by the LAN interface in the AP device. Due to the electromagnetic induction of the second transformer T2, the surge energy is induced on the secondary side of the second transformer T2. The fourth surge protection module 104 can absorb the surge energy in the secondary coil of the second transformer T2.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 9 As shown, the third surge protection module 103 includes a first TVS array TVS Array1 and a second TVS array TVS Array2. The first TVS array TVS Array1 and the second TVS array TVS Array2 are both electrically connected to the secondary coil of the first transformer T1 in the AP device.

[0070] Specifically, a TVS array, consisting of multiple TVS diodes, can quickly conduct when a voltage surge occurs, providing a wider voltage protection range and faster response time. Furthermore, the TVS array can evenly distribute surge energy across multiple TVS diodes, reducing the load on individual components. Therefore, providing a first TVS array (TVS Array1) and a second TVS array (TVS Array2) can improve the reliability and stability of the surge protection circuit 10.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 10 As shown, the fourth surge protection module 104 includes a third TVS array TVS Array3 and a fourth TVS array TVS Array4. The third TVS array TVS Array3 and the fourth TVS array TVS Array4 are both electrically connected to the secondary coil of the second transformer T2 in the AP device.

[0072] Specifically, a TVS array is composed of multiple TVS diodes that can quickly conduct when a voltage surge occurs, thereby providing a wider voltage protection range and faster response time. Furthermore, the TVS array can evenly distribute surge energy across multiple TVS diodes, reducing the load on individual components. Therefore, providing the third TVS array TVS Array3 and the fourth TVS array TVS Array4 can improve the reliability and stability of the surge protection circuit 10.

[0073] For example, the models of the first TVS array TVS Array1 , the second TVS array TVS Array2 , the third TVS array TVS Array3 , and the fourth TVS array TVS Array4 may all be WS05-4R2P.

[0074] The present application also discloses a surge protection system, including the above-mentioned surge protection circuit 10. The surge protection system adopts the above-mentioned surge protection circuit 10 to ensure that the AP device can be effectively protected when it is subjected to a surge impact, avoiding damage to the device due to the surge, and improving the reliability and stability of the device.

[0075] This application also discloses an AP device, such as Figure 11 As shown, the AP device includes a PSE interface, a PD interface, a LAN interface, a first transformer T1, a second transformer T2, a third transformer ET1, a PHY (Physical Layer), a CPU, and the aforementioned surge protection system. The PSE interface is electrically connected to the primary coil of the first transformer T1 and the first surge protection module 101 in the surge protection circuit 10, respectively. The LAN interface is electrically connected to the primary coil of the second transformer T2 and the second surge protection module 102 in the surge protection circuit 10, respectively. The PD interface is electrically connected to the third transformer ET1, the first surge protection module 101, and the second surge protection module 102, respectively.

[0076] Specifically, the first transformer T1, the second transformer T2, and the third transformer ET1 all serve as network transformers, enabling network functions and providing isolation and signal filtering. The PHY is used to transmit signals and corresponding data, ensuring reliable data transmission between different network devices. The surge protection circuit 10 includes a first surge protection module 101 and a second surge protection module 102, which respectively reduce surge energy input to the PSE interface and the LAN interface, and transmit the energy to the PD interface.

[0077] For example, the model of the third transformer ET1 may be LK24126SN.

[0078] It should be noted that the schematic diagram of the PD interface is as follows Figure 12 As shown, PD interface connection Figure 13 The primary coil of the third transformer ET1 is shown to facilitate data communication with the third transformer ET1.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, the AP device further includes a fifth surge protection module 30, which is electrically connected to the PD interface and the POE switch 20. The fifth surge protection module 30 reduces the surge energy output by the PD interface to a target surge energy and transmits the target surge energy to the POE switch 20, which then conducts the target surge energy (e.g., to the ground).

[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 14 As shown, the fifth surge protection module 30 includes a second TVS tube TVS2 and a third TVS tube TVS3. The anode of the second TVS tube TVS2 and the cathode of the second TVS tube TVS2 are both electrically connected to the PD interface, and the first end of the third TVS tube TVS3 and the second end of the third TVS tube TVS3 are both used to electrically connect to the PD chip in the CPU.

[0081] Specifically, the second TVS diode TVS2 and the third TVS diode TVS3 act as differential-mode protection, jointly protecting the fifth surge protection module 30 and ensuring that circuit components connected to the PD interface and PD chip are protected from damage caused by differential-mode voltage surges. This design improves circuit reliability and stability, preventing device damage and data loss caused by differential-mode surge voltages.

[0082] For example, the second TVS tube TVS2 may be of model BV-5SMDJ58A, and the third TVS tube TVS3 may be of model JT58SCC.

[0083] It should be noted that Figure 14 The diodes D4-D7 and D8-D11 in the circuit are all used as rectifier diodes for rectification. At the same time, the cathode of D4, the anode of D5, the cathode of D6, the anode of D7, the cathode of D8, the anode of D9, the cathode of D10, and the anode of D11 are all electrically connected to the POE switch 20.

[0084] It should be noted that Figure 14 The second common-mode inductor L2, the first magnetic bead SFB1 and the second magnetic bead SFB2 are all used for electromagnetic interference filtering.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the primary coil of the third transformer ET1 is connected to the PD interface, and the secondary coil of the third transformer ET1 is connected to the sixth surge protection module. The sixth surge protection module includes a fifth TVS array ETVS1 and a sixth TVS array ETVS2.

[0086] Specifically, a TVS array is composed of multiple TVS diodes that can quickly conduct when a voltage surge occurs, thereby providing a wider voltage protection range and faster response time. Furthermore, the TVS array can evenly distribute surge energy across multiple TVS diodes, reducing the load on individual devices. Therefore, providing the fifth TVS array ETVS1 and the sixth TVS array ETVS2 can improve the reliability and stability of the surge protection circuit 10.

[0087] For example, the fifth TVS array ETVS1 and the sixth TVS array ETVS2 may both be of the model WS05-4R2P.

[0088] It should be noted that, combined with Figure 11 It can be seen that the POE switch 20 includes a switch protection module. Since the basic principle of the switch protection module is the same as that of the first surge protection module 101 and the second surge protection module 102 described above, they are not described in detail here.

[0089] It should be noted that with the above surge protection solution, the AP device can stably pass the common-mode 6kV surge test.
