[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-7 A charger protection device shown includes: a temperature acquisition module for detecting charger temperature data, a current acquisition module for detecting charger current data, a voltage acquisition module for detecting charger voltage data, a switch module for controlling the charger output to be turned on or off, and a control module for controlling the switch module to be turned on or off; the output ends of the temperature acquisition module, the current acquisition module, and the voltage acquisition module are all electrically connected to the control module; the control end of the switch module is electrically connected to the output end of the control module; and the charger output end is electrically connected to an external device through the controlled end of the switch module.

[0029] Further, the control module specifically comprises: a control chip U3, a first resistor R6, a second resistor R14, a first capacitor C5, a second capacitor C11 and a third capacitor C10; a first pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with an output end of the temperature acquisition module; a fourth pin of the control chip U3 is connected with ground through the first capacitor C5; the fourth pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with a 3.3V voltage end through a first resistor; a seventh pin of the control chip U3 is connected with ground; a ninth pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with the 3.3V voltage end; the ninth pin of the control chip U3 is also connected with ground through the second capacitor C11; an eleventh pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with a control end of the switch module; a fourteenth pin of the control chip U3 is connected with ground in sequence through the second resistor R14 and the third capacitor C10; a nineteenth pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with an output end of the voltage and current acquisition module; a twentieth pin of the control chip U3 is electrically connected with an output end of the current acquisition module.

[0030] Specifically, in the present application, the control chip U3 can judge whether the output of the charger needs to be disconnected according to the control signal input by each data acquisition module according to the pre-set program, if yes, a low level is output from the output port, that is, the eleventh pin, so that the switch module becomes off state, and the charger stops outputting the electric signal.

[0031] Further, the voltage acquisition module specifically comprises: a first operational amplifier U2B; a non-inverting input end of the first operational amplifier U2B is electrically connected with a positive output end of the charger; the non-inverting input end of the first operational amplifier U2B is also electrically connected with a 3.3V voltage end; an inverting input end of the first operational amplifier U2B is electrically connected with a negative output end of the charger; an output end of the first operational amplifier is electrically connected with the nineteenth pin of the control chip.

[0032] Specifically, the voltage acquisition module is used for acquiring the voltage output by the charger, and the voltage acquisition module is also used for detecting whether the charger is reversely connected, in the case that the charger is reversely connected, the voltage acquisition module outputs a negative value; in the case that the control chip receives the negative value signal, the control chip outputs a low level at the eleventh pin, so that the charger stops working, and damage of the charger is avoided.

[0033] The voltage acquisition module is also used for overvoltage protection and low voltage protection; when the acquisition value is lower than the software set low voltage protection value, the MCU judges that it is low voltage protection, when the acquisition value is greater than the software set protection value, the MCU judges that it is overvoltage protection, a low level is output through the signal Output_Ctr to make Q10 disconnected, the PLY1-4 pin cannot be connected with GND to form a loop and cannot generate a magnetic field, the 1st pin, the 2nd pin and the 3rd pin are disconnected to realize overvoltage and low voltage protection.

[0034] Further, as shown inFigure 3 、 Figure 7 As shown, the current acquisition module specifically includes: a second operational amplifier U2A, a sampling resistor RS3 for collecting current data at the negative output end of the charger; the non-inverting input end of the second operational amplifier U2A and the inverting input end of the second operational amplifier U2A are electrically connected to the two ends of the sampling resistor RS3 respectively; the output end of the second operational amplifier U2A is electrically connected to the 20th pin of the control chip.

[0035] Specifically, the Io_sens current signal output by the second operational amplifier U2A, when the collected value is greater than the protection value set by the software, the MCU outputs a low level through the signal Output_Ctr to disconnect Q10, and the PLY1-4 pins cannot be connected to GND to form a loop and cannot generate a magnetic field. Pins 1, 2, and 3 are disconnected to achieve overcurrent protection.

[0036] The current acquisition module is also used to implement full-charge shutdown. When the acquired value is less than the shutdown value set by the software, the MCU outputs a low level through the signal Output_Ctr to disconnect Q10. PLY1-4 pins cannot be connected to GND to form a loop and cannot generate a magnetic field. Pins 1, 2, and 3 are disconnected to implement full-charge shutdown.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the temperature acquisition module includes: a negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 for detecting the temperature of the charger; a first end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is electrically connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal; a second end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is grounded; and the first end of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor NTC1 is also electrically connected to the first pin of the control chip U3.

[0038] The control chip U3 collects the charger temperature through the signal Temp. When the collected value is greater than the value set by the software, the control chip U3 outputs a low level through the signal Output_Ctr to disconnect Q10. The PLY1-4 pins cannot be connected to GND, and a loop cannot be formed. The magnetic field cannot be generated. Pins 1, 2, and 3 are disconnected, and the output is disconnected to achieve over-temperature protection.

[0039] Further, the switch module comprises a triode Q10, a first diode D9, a second diode D10, a third resistor R55, a fourth resistor D58 and a relay RLY1; the base of the triode Q10 is electrically connected to the eleventh pin of the control chip U3 through the third resistor R55; the base of the triode Q10 is grounded through the fourth resistor D58; the emitter of the triode Q10 is grounded; the collector of the triode Q10 is electrically connected to the anode of the second diode D10; the anode of the second diode D10 is electrically connected to the first control end of the relay RLY1; the cathode of the second diode D10 is electrically connected to the cathode of the first diode D9; the cathode of the second diode D10 is also electrically connected to the second control end of the relay RLY1; the anode of the first diode D9 is electrically connected to the power supply voltage end VCC; the positive output end of the charger is electrically connected to the external device through the controlled end of the relay RLY1.

[0040] Specifically, in the case of normal operation of the device, the eleventh pin of the control chip U3 outputs high level, and the collector and emitter of the triode Q10 are turned on; the control end of the relay RLY1, that is, the fourth pin and the fifth pin, has a pressure difference capable of driving the electromagnet of the relay to work, and the electromagnet attracts the switch of the relay, so that the charger can normally output the empty seat; when the control chip U3 outputs low level, the triode Q10 is turned off, and the control end pressure difference of the relay RLY1 disappears; the relay does not work, and the switch in the relay is turned off, so that the charger stops working.

[0041] Further, as shown in Figure 4 the overvoltage protection module and the overcurrent protection module are further included, the input end of the overvoltage protection module is electrically connected to the positive output end of the charger; the input end of the overcurrent protection module is electrically connected to the output end of the second operational amplifier; the output end of the overvoltage protection module and the output end of the overcurrent protection module are both electrically connected to the LLC resonant circuit in the charger.

[0042] Specifically, the TL431 is a programmable precision adjustable shunt regulator that maintains a constant output voltage by adjusting the voltage. The working principle is to adjust the voltage by combining the internal reference voltage, usually 2.495V, with the external voltage resistance. The Ref pin of the TL431 is connected to a voltage dividing circuit, which in this application is composed of R18 and R20, to detect the output voltage. When the output voltage rises above the set value of the reference voltage, the TL431 begins to conduct, and current flows through it and through diode D2, which acts as a voltage stabilizer. The TL431 will adjust the conduction state according to the voltage value of the voltage dividing resistor, thereby adjusting the output voltage to prevent overvoltage or abnormal conditions. In this application, the TL431 works together with the BAV70 diode and related resistors to form a control mechanism for overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Once the voltage exceeds the set value, the TL431 will conduct, causing the control end of the optocoupler to emit light, and the controlled end of the optocoupler to conduct, shutting down the EG6599 chip U6 in the LLC resonant module.

[0043] In summary, the present application proposes a charger protection device, specifically including: overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, full shutdown, reverse connection protection, temperature protection and automatic recovery function, compared with the charger protection device in the prior art, can effectively protect the charger from multiple aspects, enhances the safety and reliability of the charger, solves the deficiencies of traditional chargers in overcurrent, overvoltage, reverse connection and high temperature, and realizes more intelligent and efficient protection function.
