The first filter circuit 32 is used to suppress high-frequency noise in the electromagnetic interference signal received at the input end; the two input ends of the second filter circuit 33 are respectively connected to the two output ends of the first filter circuit 32, and the second filter circuit is used to suppress common-mode and differential-mode interference of the input electromagnetic interference signal.

[0032] The EMC filter circuit of the disclosed embodiment is suitable for use in remote, cold regions, where voltage instability is common year-round. This can affect the EMC test results of household appliances. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment adds a voltage regulation module, a selection module, and a filtering module to the household appliance. The voltage regulation module and selection module are used to adjust the input voltage of the household appliance, while the filtering module is used for filtering.

[0033] The voltage regulation module can increase or decrease the output voltage. The selection module is integrated with the voltage regulation module to determine the specific output voltage. The selection module can control the output voltage through multiple gears. The first filter circuit is mainly used to suppress high-frequency noise in the electromagnetic interference signal received at the input terminal. The first filter circuit can also suppress differential mode interference. The filter module also includes a fuse F101 connected to the neutral line output terminal of the selection module.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the voltage regulation module includes: a transformer for increasing or decreasing the mains voltage, the transformer including: a primary winding and a secondary winding, the two ends of the primary winding are respectively used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire of the mains, and the secondary winding is provided with at least two groups of output ends, each group of output ends is respectively connected to the selected module.

[0035] The transformer of the disclosed embodiment achieves boosting and lowering of the mains voltage by providing output terminals at different coil turns of the secondary winding. The secondary winding has a common output terminal, and at least two other output terminals, each corresponding to a coil with a different number of turns, form at least two groups of output terminals with the common output terminal.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the selected module includes: a multi-stage switch, each input end of the multi-stage switch is respectively connected to each output end of the secondary winding, the multi-stage switch has multiple groups of output ends, and each group of output ends is respectively connected to the two input ends of the filtering module.

[0037] The multi-stage switch is provided with multiple switches, each of which has an input terminal connected to a corresponding output terminal of the transformer. Two output terminals of each switch form a group of output terminals, and each group of output terminals can share a single output terminal. By controlling the corresponding switch or gear position, the output terminal group is adjusted to adjust the output voltage.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the surge protection circuit includes: a varistor, and two ends of the varistor are respectively connected to the two output ends of the selected module.

[0039] A fuse F101 is provided between the varistor and the selected module, and the varistor ZR101 plays a role in anti-surge.

In order to make the varistor adapt to the cold environment in remote areas, a heating wire is further provided to maintain the working environment temperature of the varistor and extend the service life of the varistor.

[0042] For example, in some pastoral areas, herders use refrigerators and other electrical appliances when setting up tents outdoors. Sometimes the outdoor temperature is low.

[0044] The first capacitor CX102 of the disclosed embodiment has two ends connected to the two output ends of the selected module, specifically, a set of output ends of the multi-stage switch. The first capacitor CX102 has the function of suppressing differential mode interference. Here, two series resistors are provided as a first discharge resistor R11 and a second discharge resistor R8, R11 and R8 respectively. The first capacitor CX102 and the common-mode inductor L101 play a filtering role, mainly for suppressing high-frequency noise in the electromagnetic interference signal received at the input end.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the second filtering circuit 33 includes: a second capacitor and a fourth capacitor and a fifth capacitor connected in series.

The second capacitor CX103 suppresses differential-mode interference, while the fourth and fifth capacitors CY1 and CY2 are grounded, suppressing common-mode interference. The first and second filter circuits perform filtering functions.

[0047] The inductance of the common-mode inductor L101 and the capacitance of the first capacitor CX102 and the second capacitor CX103 can be changed according to different products to meet EMC requirements.

[0048] Many household appliances in remote and cold areas have unstable circuits and are difficult to pass EMC tests. By adding this EMC filter circuit, most appliances can pass EMC tests, greatly improving development efficiency and success rate. In addition, it makes household appliances more adaptable to the environment in remote and cold areas.
