[0030] Further, refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the third transistor Q3 is an NPN transistor.
[0031] Further, refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the voltage dividing unit may include one or more resistors. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the voltage dividing unit may be composed of a fifth resistor R5. When the voltage dividing unit includes more than two resistors, any two of the more than two resistors are connected in series or in parallel.
[0032] The specific calculation principle of this application is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0033] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 ,exist Figure 2 In the circuit, the circuit may include: an overvoltage detection module 101, a signal self-locking module 102, and a relay module 103. Figure 4 The externally connected network may include: the DC power output terminal of the door machine, which is also the input voltage VIN of the overvoltage detection module, the power supply input terminal VCC of the door machine, and the DC power output ground GND of the door machine.
[0034] In the overvoltage detection module 101, the DC power supply output of the door operator is connected to the first diode D1. The first diode D1 plays a role in preventing reverse connection. The input voltage VIN is divided by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The voltage across the second resistor R2 is: The first capacitor C1 stabilizes the voltage across the second resistor R2, reducing the risk of false triggering of the overvoltage protection.
[0035] When the voltage at the output terminal (VIN) of the DC power supply of the door operator is within the normal range allowed by the door operator, the voltage across the second resistor R2 does not exceed the stable voltage Vz of the Zener diode D2, and the Zener diode D2 is cut off. At this time, almost no current flows through the Zener diode D2, and the transistor Q2 is not turned on, that is, no overvoltage protection trigger signal is output.
[0036] When the voltage at the output end (VIN) of the DC power supply of the door operator exceeds the normal range allowed by the door operator, that is, when the input is overvoltage, the voltage across the resistor R2 exceeds the stable voltage Vz of the Zener diode D2, and the Zener diode D2 works to clamp the voltage across R2 at the stable voltage Vz of the Zener diode D2. At this time, current flows through the Zener diode D2, current flows through the base of the second transistor Q2, the second transistor Q2 is turned on, and the overvoltage protection trigger signal is output.
[0037] By adjusting the resistance of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the threshold of the overvoltage protection trigger can be roughly adjusted to approximately The third resistor R3 acts as a shunt, that is, part of the current flowing through the Zener diode D2 will flow to the third resistor R3, reducing the current flowing through the base of the second transistor Q2 and affecting the conduction of the second transistor Q2. Therefore, the threshold for triggering the overvoltage protection can be fine-tuned by adjusting the third resistor R3.
[0038] In the signal self-locking module 102 , the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 form a signal self-locking module.
[0039] When the voltage at the DC power supply output terminal (VIN) of the door machine is within the normal range allowed by the door machine, the second transistor Q2 is not conducting, no current flows through the base of the first transistor Q1, and the first transistor Q1 is also not conducting, and the drive circuit is not opened.
[0040] Reference Figure 3 When an overvoltage condition occurs, the second transistor Q2 is turned on, and the base of the first transistor Q1 is pulled low. Current flows through the base of the first transistor Q1 via the fifth resistor R5 and the fourth resistor R4, turning on the first transistor Q1. After the first transistor Q1 is turned on, part of the current flows through the fifth resistor R5, the fourth resistor R4, and the C and E poles of the first transistor Q1, and finally flows through the second transistor Q2, continuing to turn on the second transistor Q2. At this time, the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 form a closed loop and lock, and the two transistors are continuously turned on, continuously opening the drive circuit for the relay driver module 103. The second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 can act as a filter to prevent the overvoltage protection from being mistakenly triggered by interference or high-voltage glitches, affecting the normal operation of the door machine.
[0041] Once the overvoltage detection module 101 outputs an overvoltage protection trigger signal, the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 in the signal self-locking module 102 form a closed loop and lock, continuously opening the drive circuit. At this time, it is no longer affected by the input voltage signal, and can avoid repeated action of the overvoltage protection module due to unstable input voltage or input high-voltage AC power, which can prevent the door machine from being unable to effectively disconnect the power supply.
[0042] In the relay driver module 103, the sixth resistor R6, the third transistor Q3, the voltage reference chip U1, the resistor R7, and the resistor R8 form a voltage source module. The voltage source output voltage (i.e., the sum of the voltages across the resistors R7 and R8) is Vref can be set near the rated voltage of relay K1 and less than the overvoltage protection threshold voltage.
[0043] When an overvoltage condition occurs, the signal self-locking module 102 continuously opens the drive circuit, pulling the collector voltage of the second transistor Q2 low. The DC power output terminal (VIN) of the door operator is supplied to the voltage source module through the first diode D1 and the fifth resistor R5, generating a voltage source Vref. This voltage source Vref powers the coil of relay K1, opening the normally closed contacts of relay K1 and severing the connection between the DC power output terminal (VIN) and the power input terminal (VCC) of the door operator. This disconnects the door operator power supply and the power supply circuit of the door operator product, protecting the door operator product.
[0044] On the contrary, when the voltage at the DC power output terminal (VIN) of the door machine is within the normal range allowed by the door machine, the signal self-locking module 102 does not open the drive circuit, the voltage source Vref module does not form a power supply circuit, the voltage source Vref module does not work, there is no voltage difference between the two ends of the internal coil of the relay, the relay K1 does not operate, and the relay contacts are in a normally closed state, that is, the DC power output terminal (VIN) of the door machine and the power supply input terminal (VCC) of the door machine are connected, and the door machine product is powered normally.
[0045] The fifth resistor R5 acts as a voltage divider. When the overvoltage input voltage VIN is significantly greater than the output voltage Vref of the voltage source module, the fifth resistor R5 absorbs a portion of the voltage drop, reducing the voltage drop across the third transistor Q3 and thereby alleviating the power consumption of the third transistor Q3. The third diode D3 ensures that the signal latching module 102 has a unidirectional effect on the relay driver module 103, thereby enhancing the module's functional stability.
[0046] In this embodiment, the voltage reference chip U1 may be TL431BIDBZR, and the relay K1 may be HF115F / 024-1ZS3. Relevant personnel may adjust the chip model in the specific module according to actual usage.
[0047] In this embodiment, the rated supply voltage of the door operator can be 24V, the overvoltage protection point voltage can be designed to be 29V, and the voltage source circuit output voltage Vref can be designed to be 24V. The effective overvoltage input range for protection is 29V to 100V. Relevant personnel can modify the overvoltage protection point, the voltage source circuit output voltage Vref, and the relay model according to different door operator models.
[0048] The threshold voltage of the overvoltage protection point can be modified according to actual needs by modifying the parameters of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the voltage regulator diode D2 in the overvoltage detection module 101. The trigger sensitivity of the overvoltage protection can be adjusted by modifying the parameters of the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 in the signal self-locking module 102.
[0049] In summary, the overvoltage protection circuit of the present application enables the door operator to safely disconnect its power supply when the input power supply overvoltage occurs, protecting the door operator. The voltage at the overvoltage protection point can be adjusted according to specific needs. This circuit can be independently configured as a module and connected in series between the power supply and the door operator, making it easy to install and offering strong compatibility. It also utilizes relatively common components, including transistors, voltage regulator diodes, and relays, achieving stable functionality while achieving the desired function at a low cost.
