One end of the thirty-sixth resistor R36 is connected to the third output terminal X3 of the power supply module, the drain of the third switch Q3, and one end of the twelfth resistor R12. The other end of the thirty-sixth resistor R36 is connected to the positive terminal of the second LED2, and the negative terminal of the second LED2 is grounded. The source of the third switch Q3 is connected to a 24V voltage terminal, and the gate of the third switch Q3 is connected to one end of the thirteenth resistor R13. The negative terminal of the Zener diode Q4 is connected to the 24V voltage terminal, and the other end of the thirteenth resistor R13 is also connected to the 24V voltage terminal.

The other ends of the thirty-eighth capacitor C38 and the eleventh resistor R11 are both grounded. One end of the eleventh resistor R11 is also connected to the ON / OFF switch and the control terminal of the Zener diode Q4. The positive terminal of the Zener diode Q4 is grounded. The control terminal of the Zener diode Q4 constitutes a reference point.

[0055] For example, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a self-recognition soft-start circuit provided in another embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when the fourth pin of the signal input port CN1 in the switch control module is at a high potential, the first switch Q1 is in the on state, the first LED1 is in the lit state, and the relay K1 is in the working state; wherein: when the relay K1 switches from the non-working state to the working state, the corresponding connection circuit between the power supply module and the soft start module switches from the disconnected state to the on state.

[0056] Combination Figure 5 It can be seen that when the workstation is working, that is, when the battery is connected, the fourth pin of the signal input terminal CN1 outputs a high potential signal, which causes the first switch Q1 to work, the first LED1 to light up, and the relay K1 to work.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the connection circuit between the power supply module and the soft start module switches from the disconnected state to the on state, the voltage at the control terminal of the Zener diode Q4 in the soft start circuit gradually increases as the positive voltage of the first capacitor C1 increases. When the voltage at the reference point is greater than the preset base station value, the Zener diode Q4 is turned on. When the Zener diode Q4 is in the on state, the connection circuit between the power supply module and the welding and cutting workstation coil is turned on.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the Zener diode Q4 is in the on state, the battery continuously supplies power to the second LED2 and the welding and cutting workstation coil.

[0059] For example, the battery can be 48V DC. Combined with Figure 5 It can be seen that when relay K1 is in working state, the power supply outputs electrical energy through the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, and the fifth resistor R5 through the PT4 terminal. The point cloud of the PT4 terminal is divided by the ninth resistor R9, the tenth resistor R10, and the eleventh resistor R11, so that the voltage of the control terminal (point R, i.e. the reference point) of the Zener diode Q4 changes according to the change of the voltage at one end of the first capacitor C1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the Zener diode Q4 can be a TL431 voltage regulator integrated device, which can make full use of the working characteristics of the TL431 voltage regulator integrated circuit. When the voltage at point R is higher than its reference value of 2.5V, the Zener diode Q4 works. By utilizing this feature of the TL431 chip, the soft start is perfectly realized.

[0061] In this embodiment, a preset reference value of 2.5V can be set. When the TP4 terminal is at a high potential, and the voltage at point R exceeds 2.5V, a self-recognition soft start can be achieved. When the Zener diode Q4 is turned on, the third switch Q3 is turned on, the second LED2 is lit, and the +24V power supply powers the coils of K2, K3, and K4.

[0062] In this embodiment, if the voltage at point R is always higher than the preset reference value, the battery will continue to supply power to the coil.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first capacitor C1 also has a filtering function. The electrical energy output by the battery is filtered by the first capacitor C1 and then continuously supplies power to the welding and cutting workstation coil and the second LED2.

[0064] In one optional implementation, when the battery stops outputting power, the fourth pin of the signal input port CN1 in the switch control module switches from a high potential to a low potential, the first switch Q1 switches from an on state to an off state, the first LED1 is off, the second switch Q2 switches from an off state to an on state, and the relay K1 switches from an operating state to an inoperable state. When the relay K1 switches from an operating state to an inoperable state, the voltage at the control terminal of the Zener diode Q4 in the soft-start circuit gradually decreases. When the voltage at the reference point is not greater than a preset reference value, the battery stops supplying power to the welding and cutting workstation coil.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the battery stops outputting, the fourth pin of the signal input terminal CN1 switches to a low potential. When the first switch Q1 is not working, the B point of the second switch Q2 becomes a high potential, thereby making the second switch Q2 work and pulling down the R point potential of the Zener diode Q4. The third switch Q3 is not working, the relay is disconnected, and the battery stops outputting.

[0066] In another optional implementation, when the output voltage of the battery is lower than a preset lower limit, the fourth pin of the signal input port CN1 in the switch control module remains at a high potential, and the relay K1 is in the working state; wherein: the voltage at the control terminal of the Zener diode Q4 in the soft start circuit gradually decreases, and when the voltage at the reference point is not greater than a preset reference value, the battery stops supplying power to the welding and cutting workstation coil.

[0067] In this embodiment, not only is inrush current reduced, but battery depletion protection is also implemented. When the battery voltage drops below 43V, and relay K1 is activated, the voltage at point R, the control terminal of Zener diode Q4, drops below 2.5V, causing Q4 to fail to operate. This effectively protects the battery and extends its lifespan.

[0068] It is understood that the above circuit structures can also take other forms, and are not limited to the forms already mentioned in the above embodiments, as long as they can achieve the function of soft start.

[0069] In addition, embodiments of this application also provide welding and cutting equipment, including the self-recognition soft-start circuit in the above embodiments.

[0070] In this embodiment, due to the inclusion of a slow-start module, the power supply module can delay supplying power to the welding and cutting workstation coil based on changes in the reference point voltage when the switch control module starts. This solves the current surge problem during welding machine startup in new energy welding and cutting systems, improves the stability and service life of the new energy welding and cutting systems, and significantly reduces system energy consumption, thus having broad application prospects.
