Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of short-circuit protection circuit technology, and in particular to a short-circuit protection circuit for a Type-C interface. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and popularization of electronic devices, the Type-C interface has been widely used in various electronic devices due to its many advantages such as high-speed data transmission and fast charging. From smartphones and tablets to laptops, the Type-C interface is gradually becoming the mainstream connection interface standard. It not only brings users a convenient connection method and an efficient data transmission experience, but also promotes the technological progress of the electronic device industry.

[0003] However, in actual use, short-circuit faults are a common and significant problem. For example, in complex environments such as factory workshops and construction sites, Type-C interfaces may short-circuit due to cables being squeezed or worn by heavy objects or accidentally coming into contact with metal debris. Furthermore, frequent plugging and unplugging of Type-C cables during daily use can loosen the pins inside the interface, increasing the risk of short circuits. Currently available short-circuit protection circuits often require repair before continued use can resume, severely impacting normal equipment operation and wasting time and money. Additionally, some protection circuits lack reliability and may fail after repeated short circuits, failing to provide continuous and effective protection for the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, it provides a short-circuit protection circuit for Type-C interfaces, which solves the technical problems that existing Type-C interface short-circuit protection circuits require maintenance before continued use when a short circuit occurs, and that overvoltage and electromagnetic interference are prone to occur inside the circuit when a short circuit occurs, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0005] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A short-circuit protection circuit for a Type-C interface, comprising: an interface module, an overvoltage and electromagnetic protection circuit, and a switching circuit. The interface module, overvoltage and electromagnetic protection circuit, and switching circuit are connected in series on the same power supply line and grounding line. The switching circuit includes a normal operating circuit and a backup circuit, both of which are connected to the power supply line. A double-pole double-throw relay is installed within the switching circuit, and its two output pins are connected in series with the normal operating circuit and the backup circuit, respectively. The double-pole double-throw relay is used for communication between the normal operating circuit and the backup circuit. The switching circuit includes two resettable fuses, both integrated within the switching circuit. These fuses are connected in series with the two input pins of the double-pole double-throw relay. The resettable fuses limit current increase during overcurrent events. Connections between modules should utilize high-quality wires and reliable connection methods to ensure signal transmission stability and low impedance. For example, 0.5 mm tinned copper wire can be used as the connecting wire, and the connection method should be soldering. Solder joints should be full and firm, avoiding cold solder joints. Furthermore, the layout requirements of each module on the circuit board should be clearly defined to reduce electromagnetic interference and signal crosstalk.

[0006] In another embodiment, two current sensing resistors are provided, and the two current sensing resistors are connected in series in the main circuit and the backup circuit, respectively. The current sensing resistors are used to detect the magnitude of the current in the main circuit and the backup circuit. Two comparators are provided, and the two comparators are connected in series in the main circuit and the backup circuit, respectively. The input terminals of the comparators are connected in parallel across the current sensing resistors. The comparators are used to compare the detected current with a preset value and output a corresponding signal. Two light-emitting diodes are provided, and the two light-emitting diodes are connected in series in the main circuit and the backup circuit, respectively. The light-emitting diodes are connected in series with the output terminals of the comparators. The light-emitting diodes are used to output a corresponding signal from the comparators. The LED illuminates to indicate the circuit status. The current sensing resistor can be a surface-mount resistor with an accuracy of ±1% and a resistance of 0.1 ohms. The comparator's response time should be less than 1 microsecond; for example, an LM393 comparator can be used. The brightness of the LED can be selected to be above 5000 mcd, and the color can be red or green to indicate fault and normal states, respectively. When the current in the circuit exceeds 1 ampere, the comparator outputs a high level, causing the red LED to light up, indicating that the circuit is in an overcurrent state. When the current is less than or equal to 1 ampere, the comparator outputs a low level, causing the green LED to light up, indicating that the circuit is working normally.

[0007] In a further embodiment, a Type-C module is provided, with multiple GND pins connected in parallel and connected to a ground line, and multiple VBUS pins connected in parallel and connected to a power line. Multiple first transient suppression diodes are provided, and these diodes are respectively connected to pins CC1, CC2, DP1, DP2, DN1, and DN2 on the Type-C module. The first transient suppression diodes are connected in parallel with the GND pins. These first transient suppression diodes are used to reverse break down when a transient high voltage occurs on a relevant pin of the Type-C interface, clamping the voltage to a safe value. The parameters of the first transient suppression diodes should be reasonably selected based on the operating voltage of the Type-C interface and the possible transient voltages. For example, assuming the operating voltage of the Type-C interface is 5 volts and the transient voltage may be as high as 20 volts, a transient suppression diode with a withstand voltage of 24 volts and a response time of 1 nanosecond can be selected.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a second transient suppression diode is connected in parallel between the power supply line and the ground line. This diode is used to rapidly reverse break down when a transient high voltage occurs in the power supply line, clamping the voltage to a safe value. A ceramic capacitor is connected in parallel between the power supply line and the ground line, used to filter out high-frequency noise in the power supply line. A gas discharge tube is connected in parallel between the power supply line and the ground line, used to rapidly conduct when an overvoltage occurs, guiding the excessive voltage to ground. An electrolytic capacitor is connected in parallel between the power supply line and the ground line, used to store and release charge, smoothing the power supply voltage to reduce ripple and noise in the power supply. The second transient suppression diode... The transient suppression diode can be selected with a withstand voltage of 30 volts and a response time of 0.5 nanoseconds; the ceramic capacitor can be selected with a capacitance of 0.1 microfarads and a withstand voltage of 50 volts; the gas discharge tube can be set to a conduction voltage of 250 volts; the electrolytic capacitor can be selected with a capacitance of 100 microfarads and a withstand voltage of 16 volts; when the voltage on the power line instantaneously rises to above 25 volts, the second transient suppression diode quickly reverse-biases and breaks down, clamping the voltage below 20 volts; when high-frequency noise appears on the power line, the ceramic capacitor can reduce the noise amplitude to below 10% of the original value; when the voltage on the power line exceeds 250 volts, the gas discharge tube quickly conducts, guiding the excessive voltage to ground; the electrolytic capacitor can reduce the power supply ripple to below 50mV.

[0009] In a further embodiment, under normal circumstances, the commonly used circuits are always connected to the interface module.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the first transient suppression diode is directly connected to the corresponding pin of the Type-C module, and the parallel line with the GND pin is short. The connection method should employ reliable soldering or plug-in techniques to ensure a secure connection. For example, the diameter of the solder joint should be no less than 0.5 mm. Simultaneously, the impact of the circuit layout on electromagnetic compatibility should be considered; the line length between the first transient suppression diode and the Type-C module pin should be controlled within 5 mm.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the second transient suppression diode, ceramic capacitor, gas discharge tube, and electrolytic capacitor in the overvoltage and electromagnetic protection circuit are connected in parallel and arranged close to the interface module and switching circuit. The layout should take heat dissipation into account to avoid overheating of the components. For example, heat sinks can be placed around the components, and the area of ​​the heat sinks should not be less than 1 square centimeter. At the same time, the distance between the components should be appropriate to prevent mutual interference. The distance between the components should be maintained at more than 2 millimeters. The components should be installed as close as possible to the interface module and switching circuit, and the distance from the interface module and switching circuit should not exceed 5 millimeters.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. Through the cooperation of components such as self-resetting fuses and double-pole double-throw relays, when a short circuit occurs at the Type-C interface, the self-resetting fuse will heat up rapidly, and the resistance will increase sharply, limiting the current from further increasing and preventing equipment damage; at the same time, the double-pole double-throw relay can quickly switch the circuit, ensuring that the interface can continue to work normally without maintenance when a short circuit fault occurs; improving the availability and reliability of the equipment, avoiding the time and economic costs caused by maintenance, reducing equipment downtime, and enabling users to use the equipment more smoothly.

[0013] 2. By utilizing the synergistic effect of components such as the gas discharge tube, the first transient suppression diode, the second transient suppression diode, and the electrolytic capacitor, when an overvoltage occurs, the gas discharge tube quickly conducts, guiding the excessive voltage to ground, providing the first line of defense for other components in the circuit; the first and second transient suppression diodes quickly reverse-break down when a transient high voltage occurs, clamping the voltage to a safe value and preventing high voltage from damaging circuit components; while the electrolytic capacitor can store and release charge, smoothing the power supply voltage, reducing ripple and noise in the power supply, and improving the system's stability and anti-interference capability; through the cooperation of these components, the overvoltage and electromagnetic interference problems during short circuits are effectively mitigated, ensuring that the equipment can operate normally in complex electromagnetic environments.
