[0023] Specifically, the input circuit comprises an input power positive terminal B+, a switch SW1 input pin which is electrically connected with the input power positive terminal B+, and a switch SW1 output pin which serves as the output end of the input circuit. The switch SW1 can adopt various mechanical switches, and the model thereof can be selected according to the specific needs. As one of the embodiments, the input power positive terminal B+ of the embodiment is 18V, and 24V or 12V or the like can also be selected according to the needs.

[0024] Specifically, the first control circuit comprises a resistor R8 having one end electrically connected to the power supply end thereof, the other end of the resistor R8 being electrically connected to the gate of a first MOS tube Q5 and the negative electrode of a Zener diode ZD5, the drain of the first MOS tube Q5 being electrically connected to the input power supply ground end GND, the source of the first MOS tube Q5 and the positive electrode of the Zener diode ZD5 being electrically connected and serving as the output end of the first control circuit. The first MOS tube Q5 is an N-channel MOS tube. As one of the embodiments, the power supply end of the first control circuit of the embodiment is electrically connected to the 18V input power supply positive end B+, and the Zener diode ZD5 is a 19V Zener diode. The function and working principle of the first control circuit are as follows: (1) when the input power supply voltage is greater than or equal to 18V, the gate voltage of the first MOS tube Q5 is higher than the Vgs threshold voltage thereof through the resistor R8 and the Zener diode ZD5, the first MOS tube Q5 is turned on, the source S of the first MOS tube Q5 is electrically connected to the drain D thereof, and the output end of the first control circuit is electrically connected to the ground end of the second control circuit, the output control circuit and the indicator lamp circuit.

Therefore, the first control circuit has the dual functions of under-voltage protection and reverse connection protection.

[0025] Specifically, the second control circuit comprises a resistor R3 and the emitter of a triode Q7, both of which are electrically connected to the power supply end thereof, the other end of the resistor R3 being electrically connected to the negative electrode of a Zener diode ZD3 and one end of a resistor R5, the other end of the resistor R5 being electrically connected to one end of a capacitor C5 and the base of the triode Q7, the other end of the capacitor C5 being electrically connected to one end of a resistor R7 and the collector of the triode Q7 and serving as the output end of the second control circuit, the other end of the resistor R7 being electrically connected to the positive electrode of the Zener diode ZD3 and serving as the ground end of the second control circuit. The triode Q7 is a PNP triode. As one of the embodiments, the power supply end of the second control circuit of the embodiment is electrically connected to the 18V input power supply positive end B+, and the Zener diode ZD3 is a 19V Zener diode. The second control circuit is used for automatically controlling the output control circuit under three conditions of normal voltage, overvoltage and inrush current, which will be described in detail in the following.

[0026] Specifically, the output control circuit includes the source of the second MOS tube Q8 electrically connected to the power supply end thereof, the gate of the second MOS tube Q8 electrically connected to one end of the resistor R11, the other end of the resistor R11 electrically connected to the output end of the second control circuit (i.e. the collector of the transistor Q7) as the control end of the output control circuit, and the drain of the second MOS tube Q8 as the output end VOUT of the output control circuit. The second MOS tube Q8 is a P-channel MOS tube. As one of the embodiments, the source of the second MOS tube Q8 is electrically connected to 18V of the positive end B+ of the input power supply. The functions and working principles of the second control circuit, the output control circuit and the indicator lamp circuit are as follows:

[0027] (3) When the input power supply is 18V, 18V passes through the switch SW1, one way from the resistor R3 to the negative end of the voltage stabilizing diode ZD3. Since the 19V voltage stabilizing condition is not reached, the voltage stabilizing diode ZD3 is not turned on. The 18V voltage reaches the base of the transistor Q7 through the resistor R5, and is as high as the 18V voltage reaching the emitter of the transistor Q7 through the other way of the switch SW1, and is not enough to form the starting voltage difference of the transistor Q7. The transistor Q7 is cut off and not turned on. At this time, the source S voltage of the second MOS tube Q8 is 18V, the voltage between the source S and the gate G is 18V, and the gate G voltage of the second MOS tube Q8 to the ground (i.e. the ground end GND of the input power supply) is 0V. Therefore, the second MOS tube Q8 reaches the P-channel MOS tube turn-on condition, the source S and the drain D of the second MOS tube Q8 are turned on, the output end VOUT of the output control circuit outputs 18V power supply (for the load), and the light emitting diodes D15 and D16 of the indicator lamp circuit as one of the loads are turned on and emit light, indicating that the circuit works in the normal state.

[0028] (4) When the input power supply is greater than 18V, such as 20V, which belongs to the overvoltage state. The overvoltage 20V passes through the resistor R3 to the negative end of the voltage stabilizing diode ZD3, which exceeds the 19V voltage stabilizing value. The voltage stabilizing diode ZD3 is turned on and the constant voltage is 19V. The 19V voltage reaches the base of the transistor Q7 through the resistor R5, and forms the starting voltage difference of the transistor Q7 with the 20V voltage reaching the emitter of the transistor Q7 through the other way of the switch SW1. The transistor Q7 is turned on, and the collector voltage of the transistor Q7 is raised. At this time, the output end of the second control circuit is high, and the high level reaches the gate G of the second MOS tube Q8 through the resistor R11, which does not meet the P-channel MOS tube turn-on condition. The second MOS tube Q8 is in the off state, the drain D and the source S of the second MOS tube Q8 are disconnected, i.e. the output end VOUT of the output control circuit has no voltage output, the light emitting diodes D15 and D16 are not turned on and emit light, and the circuit is in the overvoltage automatic protection state.

[0029] (5) still take input power supply 18V for example, when the switch SW1 is just on, will produce a momentary surge current impact, the following two stages to describe the circuit working process: the first stage, the moment (PNP) transistor Q7 is turned on, the collector of the transistor Q7 is high, the gate of the second MOS tube Q8 through the resistor R11 and the transistor Q7 quickly to 18V voltage, the second MOS tube Q8 does not meet the conduction condition, off state, the output of the output control circuit VOUT no voltage output, light emitting diode D15, D16 is not conductive not light, the circuit is in the surge current automatic protection state. The second stage, then 18V voltage through resistor R3 and R5 to the base of the transistor Q7, (the same as the previous analysis) the transistor Q7 is off, at the same time, the voltage across the capacitor C5 cannot be changed suddenly, so 18V voltage through R3, R5, R7 loop to charge capacitor C5, during the charging period, the capacitor is equivalent to an internal resistance with increasing resistance, the internal resistance and R7 series voltage division, the voltage on the internal resistance increases gradually, through the resistor R11 to the gate of the second MOS tube Q8 G level thus gradually reduced until the gate of the second MOS tube Q8 (P channel MOS tube) G- source S voltage difference: Vgs < Vgs threshold, the second MOS tube Q8 (P channel MOS tube) is opened, so as to realize the circuit slow start. This has realized the two functions of surge current automatic protection and slow start of the circuit of the scheme.

[0030] Description: the ground of the second control circuit, output control circuit and indicator light circuit of the scheme is electrically connected and marked as GND1. When the first MOS tube Q5 is turned on, GND1 is electrically connected with the input power supply ground GND.

[0031] The circuit of the scheme has universality and can be applied to various power supply occasions: when applied, only need to replace the type of ZD3, ZD5 and Q5, Q8, adjust the resistance and capacitance parameters to match different high voltage circuits and large current circuits, so the circuit of the scheme also has the important role of protecting personal safety.

[0032] The scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The low-cost protection circuit of the scheme is composed of two MOS transistors, two voltage stabilizing diodes, a transistor, resistors, capacitors and a switch, has the advantages of simple circuit and low cost, and can simultaneously realize multiple protection functions of power overvoltage, power undervoltage, reverse connection and surge current impact. The performance is reliable, does not need to be equipped with IC or optocoupler or single-chip microcomputer chip, does not need to be programmed, is convenient for production, and improves production efficiency. Optionally, an indicating lamp circuit can be added according to needs, so that the working state can be understood in time. The circuit of the scheme has universality and can be applied to occasions of power supply of various powers: only by replacing the types of the voltage stabilizing diodes and the MOS transistors and adjusting the parameters of the resistors and the capacitors, different high-voltage circuits and large-current circuits can be matched, so that the circuit of the scheme has the effect of protecting personal safety.

[0034] The above embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment of the utility model is not limited by the above embodiment, and any change, modification, replacement, combination, simplification, which does not deviate from the spirit and principle of the utility model, should be an equivalent replacement mode, and all are included in the protection scope of the utility model.
