[0058] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] Currently, power supply products on the market are typically equipped with conventional contactors. The main reasons are: first, most monitoring output interfaces of power supply manufacturers can only output level signals, not positive or negative pulse signals, and therefore can only drive conventional monostable contactors; second, the current mainstream driving circuits for magnetic latching contactors use dual relay solutions or single relay + MOS tube solutions. These two solutions must occupy two active channels of the monitoring device (control unit) to achieve one magnetic latching contactor control. The hardware circuit design is relatively complex, the channels are occupied, and upgraded software is required to achieve control. These factors have hindered the widespread application of magnetic latching contactors.

[0060] This embodiment of the utility model comprehensively considers the advantages and disadvantages of current mainstream drive circuits and adopts a single-relay solution to provide a drive circuit for a magnetic latching contactor with simple hardware circuitry, minimal monitoring channel usage, strong compatibility, and no software coordination required. The drive circuit provided by this embodiment of the utility model not only reduces the utilization of monitoring hardware resources but also is suitable for magnetic latching contactors with different drive pulse widths. It also broadens the application scenarios that only support conventional contactor monitoring, thereby further promoting the application and development of magnetic latching contactors in the power supply and industrial control industries.

[0061] A driving circuit and a power supply provided by an embodiment of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Because the drive circuit in the embodiment of the present invention can output positive and negative pulse signals for controlling the magnetic latching contactor through the input unit and the positive-negative level switching unit, the hardware circuit is simple and does not require software implementation, thereby reducing the complexity of the drive circuit and improving the performance of the drive circuit.

If it is an active interface, the control interface of the control unit 55 is connected to the active positive interface SDI+ and the active negative interface SDI- of the drive circuit. If it is a passive interface, the control interface of the control unit 55 is connected to the passive positive interface DI+ and the passive negative interface DI- of the drive circuit.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power-off signal output by the control unit 55 controls the disconnection of the magnetic latching contactor, thereby realizing power-off protection of the load and the battery.

[0122] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the power-off instruction issued by the control unit 55 is an active signal, the second and third ends of the toggle switch ST are adjusted to be conductive, and the power-off instruction is input into the drive circuit through the active interface (SDI+ and SDI-). After the circuit receives the power-off instruction, the coil of the relay KA is energized, and the contacts of the relay KA are activated. The driving current flows from the positive electrode interface POWER+ of the power supply through the first normally open contact and the first common end of the relay KA, and flows from the first end KM-A2 of the coil of the magnetic holding contactor KM to the coil of the magnetic holding contactor KM, and then flows into the second end KM-A1 of the coil of the magnetic holding contactor KM, and then passes through the normally open contact KM-NO of the auxiliary contact of the magnetic holding contactor KM, the sixth diode D6, the second common end and the second normally open contact of the relay KA, and the second diode D2, and flows into the positive electrode interface POWER- of the power supply. The coil of the magnetic holding contactor KM disconnects the main contact under the reverse driving current, and the auxiliary contact of the magnetic holding contactor KM is actuated (the normally open contact of the auxiliary contact changes from closed to open) to cut off the current of the driving circuit, thereby causing the driving circuit to output a negative pulse signal;

[0123] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6When control unit 55 issues a power-on command (i.e., if control unit 55 does not issue a power-off command), the coil of relay KA loses power, the contacts of relay KA reset, and the drive voltage output by the drive circuit resets. At this point, the drive current flows from the positive power supply interface POWER+ through relay KA's second normally closed contact and second common terminal, fifth diode D5, and the normally closed contact KM-NC of magnetic latching contactor KM. It then flows from KM-A1 of the coil of magnetic latching contactor KM to the coil of magnetic latching contactor KM, then flows into KM-A2, and then flows through relay KA's second normally closed contact to the negative power supply interface POWER-. The positive drive current closes the coil of magnetic latching contactor KM's main contacts. Once the contactor's auxiliary contacts operate (KM-NC switches from closed to open), the drive circuit current is cut off, causing the drive circuit to output a negative pulse.

[0124] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the control unit 55 does not issue a command, after the system is powered on, if the magnetic latching contactor KM is in the closed state, the drive circuit will not issue a drive pulse. If the magnetic latching contactor KM is in the open state, the drive circuit will issue a positive pulse to the coil of the magnetic latching contactor KM, closing the magnetic latching contactor KM. This achieves the function of correcting the initial state of the magnetic latching contactor KM after power-on.

[0125] In one embodiment, the power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a dynamic environment control system whose energy management function includes system operation mode judgment, power scheduling and equipment operation status control. When the system is running, the dynamic environment control system receives in real time the following data for system scheduling: battery power SOC detected by the BMS, AC and DC bus voltages, load power, and the operating status of each AC / DC and DC / DC module, and cuts off the power supply through the power-off relay when there is an abnormality on the load side.

[0126] The drive circuit and power supply for a magnetic latching contactor provided in this utility model can convert input level signals into positive and negative pulse signals for output. This makes it widely applicable in power supply monitoring, industrial PLCs, DCSs, and other control systems that can only output level signals. This drive circuit not only supports initial state correction for the magnetic latching contactor upon power-up, effectively avoiding control disruptions caused by contactor state changes after transport vibrations, but also utilizes an innovative single-relay solution to effectively reduce the number of control channels occupied, simplify control program design, and lower hardware and software development costs, resulting in an excellent product price-performance ratio.

Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
