[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment provides an electrical appliance current overload protection device. The electrical appliance current overload protection device comprises a protection resistor R1, a rectifier circuit D, a current amplification circuit 1, a control circuit, a normally closed relay KM and a capacitor C3. The protection resistor R1 is electrically connected with the live wire L. The rectifier circuit D is connected in series with the protection resistor R1, and the negative electrode of the rectifier circuit D is grounded. The current amplification circuit 1, the signal end of the current amplification circuit 1 is electrically connected with the positive electrode of the rectifier circuit D. The control circuit is electrically connected with the output end of the current amplification circuit 1, and the control circuit is configured to receive the amplified current from the output end of the current amplification circuit 1, and under the control of the amplified current, the circuit between the control circuit and the control power supply is turned on or interrupted. The coil of the normally closed relay KM is arranged on the circuit between the control circuit and the control power supply, and the contact of the normally closed relay KM is connected in series with the live wire L. The capacitor C3 is connected in series to the live wire L before the contact of the normally closed relay KM.
[0024] Exemplarily, for single-phase electricity, the resistance of the protection resistor R1 can be 1KΩ, and the rectifier circuit D can adopt a diode rectifier circuit D, one of the two input ends of the diode rectifier circuit D is electrically connected with the other end of the protection resistor R1, and the other of the two input ends is electrically connected with the zero line.
[0025] The output ends of the diode rectifier circuit D are provided with the current amplification circuit 1, and the output current of the diode rectifier circuit D is less than 0.5A. The current amplification circuit 1 is electrically connected with the control power supply and the output end positive electrode of the rectifier circuit D, the current amplification circuit 1 receives the output end current of the rectifier circuit D and outputs an amplified current, the amplified current is received by the control circuit, and the control circuit opens or closes the contact of the normally closed relay KM on the live wire L under the control of the amplified current, for example, when the amplified current is greater than a threshold current, the contact of the normally closed relay KM is opened to disconnect the live wire L, and when the amplified current is less than the threshold current, the contact of the normally closed relay KM remains closed to keep the live wire L in a conducting state.
[0026] It can be understood that, in the case that the load of the live wire L is constant, when the current overload occurs, the increased current on the protection resistor R1 and the current of the load are fixed in ratio. That is to say, the amplified current and the current of the live wire L are linearly related, and the size of the threshold current is limited, when the amplified current exceeds the threshold current, the live wire L is controlled to be disconnected, therefore, according to the maximum value of the current of the live wire L, the threshold current can be calculated.
[0027] The electrical appliance current overload protection device can be arranged between the corresponding electrical appliance and the live wire L, and can provide current overload protection for the corresponding electrical appliance, and has the advantages of fast action and high control precision.
[0028] Embodiment 2
[0029] As Figure 2 shown in the embodiment 1, the electric appliance current overload protection device further comprises a shunt resistance, the shunt resistance is arranged between the rectifier circuit D and the current amplification circuit 1.
[0030] The shunt resistance comprises a first resistance R8 and a second resistance R7, one end of the first resistance R8 is electrically connected with the output end of the current amplification circuit 1, the other end of the first resistance R8 is grounded, and the second resistance R7 is connected in series to the circuit between the output end of the rectifier circuit D and the current amplification circuit 1.
[0031] In the embodiment, by controlling the values of the first resistance R8 and the second resistance R7, the current value input to the current amplification circuit 1 can be adjusted, so that the input current of the current amplification circuit 1 can be controlled according to the needs, and the linear correlation between the amplified current and the current of the live wire L can be ensured. The shunt resistance further improves the flexibility of the electric appliance current overload protection device.
[0032] Embodiment 3
[0033] On the basis of the embodiment 1 or the embodiment 2, the control circuit comprises a thyristor VT, the anode of the thyristor VT is electrically connected with the positive pole of the control power supply, the cathode of the thyristor VT is electrically connected with the coil of the normally closed relay KM, the control electrode of the thyristor VT is electrically connected with the output end of the current amplification circuit 1, and the coil of the normally closed relay KM is electrically connected with the negative pole of the control power supply.
[0034] The utility model needs to calculate threshold current according to corresponding electric appliance, protection resistance R1, rectifier circuit D, current amplification circuit 1 and shunt resistance, when the amplified current is greater than or equal to threshold current, the thyristor VT is turned on, when the amplified current is less than threshold current, the thyristor VT is cut off. When the thyristor VT is turned on, the control power supply, the control circuit and the coil of the normally closed relay KM form a closed loop, the contact of the normally closed relay KM is opened, when the thyristor VT is cut off, the circuit between the control power supply and the coil of the normally closed relay KM is disconnected, and the contact of the normally closed relay KM is closed. That is, when the current in the live wire L is overloaded, the amplified current is greater than threshold current, the thyristor VT is turned on, and the live wire L is disconnected, when the current in the live wire L is normal (less than the current of overload), the amplified current is less than threshold current, the thyristor VT is cut off, and the live wire L remains conductive.
[0035] Embodiment 4
[0036] On the basis of the embodiment 1, the embodiment 2 or the embodiment 3, the current amplification circuit 1 of the electric appliance current overload protection device comprises a common emitter amplification circuit, and the common emitter amplification circuit is further electrically connected with the control power supply.
[0037] The common-emitter amplifier circuit is a circuit structure well-known to those skilled in the art, and its circuit structure will not be described in detail again. In this embodiment, the amplification factor of the common-emitter amplifier circuit can be selected as needed.
[0038] Example 5
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 or Embodiment 4, a filter capacitor C4 is provided between the rectifier circuit D and the current amplification circuit 1 of the electrical current overload protection device described in this embodiment. One end of the filter capacitor C4 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the rectifier circuit D and the connection point of the current amplification circuit 1, and the other end of the filter capacitor C4 is grounded.
[0040] To avoid the influence of noise in the live wire L, and to prevent the current at the peak of the current from being detected by this invention and causing the normally closed relay KM to open and close its contacts in a very short time, a filter capacitor C4 can be provided between the rectifier circuit D and the current amplifier circuit 1. Multiple filter capacitors C4 can be provided in parallel.
[0041] Example 6
[0042] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 or Embodiment 4, the normally closed relay KM of the electrical current overload protection device described in this embodiment has its contacts located on the live wire L after the connection position of the protection resistor R1 and the live wire L.
[0043] Specifically, the live wire L is electrically connected to the protective resistor R1 and the electrical appliance. The contacts of the normally closed relay KM are located on the live wire L between the live wire L, the protective resistor R1, and the electrical appliance. The electrical current overload protection device described in this invention is connected in parallel with the electrical appliance to the live wire L. When the current on the live wire L is overloaded, the electrical current overload protection device can disconnect the circuit between the electrical appliance and the live wire L. Alternatively, the electrical current overload protection device can remain connected to the live wire L and continue operating. When the current on the live wire L returns to normal, the electrical current overload protection device can reconnect the circuit between the electrical appliance and the live wire L, allowing the electrical appliance to operate normally.
