[0020] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0021] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 a device for output end multi-way power distribution and protection integration comprises a plurality of power distribution branches sharing one bus output end, each power distribution branch comprises a current sampling module, the current sampling module is connected with a hardware protection module and a detection module, the hardware protection module and the detection module are both connected with a driving module, and the driving module is connected with a power distribution switch.
[0022] In the present embodiment, when power distribution is performed, the current sampling module sends the collected current to the hardware protection module and the detection module. If the current exceeds the set current value during loading, the detection module pulls down the power distribution control signal to turn off, and the hardware protection module controls the driving module and the power distribution switch to turn off, so that the short circuit protection function is effectively realized.
[0023] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 the detection module comprises a single-chip microcomputer, i.e. Figure 2 MCU in the drawings, the model of the single-chip microcomputer is STM32F103ZET, the input end of the single-chip microcomputer is used to receive the current signal collected by the current sampling module, and the output end is used to output the power distribution signal.
[0024] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 in the present embodiment, the hardware protection module comprises an operational amplifier, i.e. N1 in the drawings, the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier is connected with the output end of the current sampling module, the inverting input end is connected with a power supply, and the output end is connected with the driving module. The driving module comprises an isolation driver, i.e. N30, the isolation driver is connected with a second transistor, i.e. V34, the second transistor is connected with a first transistor, i.e. V33, and the first transistor is connected with the hardware protection module. In normal power distribution, the single-chip microcomputer sends a power distribution control signal to turn on the second transistor, the second transistor controls the isolation driver to turn on the power distribution switch, and power distribution is successful.
[0025] The drain of the second transistor is connected with the output of the isolation driver, the source is grounded, and the gate is connected with the single-chip microcomputer.
[0026] Secondly, the gate of the first transistor is connected with the output of the operational amplifier, the source is grounded, and the drain is connected with the gate of the second transistor and the single-chip microcomputer.
[0027] In the normal power distribution, after the upper computer sends the power distribution instruction, the single-chip microcomputer sends the power distribution control signal to open the second transistor, and the second transistor controls the isolation driver to open the power distribution switch, so that the power distribution is successful.
[0028] Meanwhile, the current sampling module sends the collected current signal to the single-chip microcomputer for signal processing or uploads to the upper computer. If the current exceeds the set current value during the loading process, the single-chip microcomputer pulls down the power distribution control signal to turn off the second transistor, and the isolation driver and the power distribution switch are turned off accordingly.
[0029] In the embodiment, the output of the operational amplifier is also connected with the fourth transistor, i.e. V1. The drain of the fourth transistor is connected with the output of the operational amplifier, the gate is connected with the single-chip microcomputer, and the source is grounded.
[0030] When the fault is removed and the power distribution is needed, the upper computer sends the reset instruction to reset. After the single-chip microcomputer receives the reset instruction, the single-chip microcomputer sends the reset signal to control the fourth transistor. After the fourth transistor is turned on, the lock state of the operational amplifier is released, the pin 1 of the operational amplifier is at low level, and the first transistor is in the off state. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer can perform normal power distribution.
[0031] In the embodiment, the power distribution switch is the third transistor, i.e. V19. The gate of the third transistor is connected with the output of the isolation driver, the source is connected with the bus output, and the drain is connected with the load.
[0032] As shown in Figure 2 The current sampling module is a Hall current sensor, i.e. M21. The output of the Hall current sensor is connected with the single-chip microcomputer and the operational amplifier. A disconnection circuit is arranged between the output and the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier, and the input is connected with the bus output.
[0033] When the load end is short-circuited, the upper computer sends a power distribution instruction, and the MCU sends a power distribution control signal to turn on the second transistor, the second transistor controls the isolation driver to turn on the third transistor, at this time, the short-circuit current is very large, the Hall current sensor sends the detected current signal directly to the resistor R5, and then to the operational amplifier N1 after passing through the diode D2. Then the 1 pin of the operational amplifier N1 sends a high level to turn on the first transistor V34, and quickly pull down the power distribution signal just now, turn off the second transistor, and the isolation driver and the third transistor are turned off accordingly. The power distribution switch is protected accordingly. At the same time, in order to prevent this phenomenon from repeatedly turning on and off within a short time, affecting other branches.
[0034] In this embodiment, a lock circuit is provided between the output end and the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier, and a diode D1 and a resistor R3 are connected in series between the 1 pin and the 3 pin of the operational amplifier N1, so as to lock the short-circuit signal and ensure that the power distribution switch is always turned off before the fault is removed, thereby protecting the power distribution switch.
[0035] In addition, when the power distribution switch normally distributes power, if the temperature of the power distribution switch reaches the over-temperature protection point or the output voltage is too high, the single-chip microcomputer MCU immediately pulls down the power distribution control signal to turn off the second transistor V33, and the isolation driver N30 and the third transistor V19 are turned off accordingly, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the power distribution switch.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:
[0037] Normal working state: When the upper computer sends a power distribution instruction, the single-chip microcomputer MCU sends a power distribution control signal to turn on the second transistor, the second transistor controls the isolation driver to turn on the third transistor, at this time, the power distribution is successful. At the same time, the current Hall sensor M21 sends the detected current signal to the single-chip microcomputer MCU for signal processing or uploads it to the upper computer. If the current exceeds the set current value during the loading process, the single-chip microcomputer MCU pulls down the power distribution control signal to turn off the second transistor, and the isolation driver and the third transistor are turned off accordingly.
[0038] Short circuit protection state: when the load end is short-circuited, the upper computer sends a power distribution command, and the single-chip microcomputer MCU sends a power distribution control signal to open the second transistor, the second transistor controls the isolation driver to open the third transistor, at this time, the short-circuit current is very large, the Hall current sensor M21 directly sends the detected current signal to the resistor R5, and then sends it to the operational amplifier N1 through the diode D2. Then the 1 pin of the operational amplifier N1 sends a high level to open the first transistor V34, and quickly pull down the power distribution signal just now, turn off the second transistor, and the isolation driver and the third transistor are turned off accordingly. The power distribution switch is protected accordingly. At the same time, in order to prevent the phenomenon from being repeatedly turned on and off within a short time, affecting other branches, a diode D1 and a resistor R3 are connected in series between the 1 pin and the 3 pin of the operational amplifier N1, so as to lock the short-circuit signal and ensure that the power distribution switch is always turned off before the fault is removed. When the fault is removed and the power distribution is needed, the upper computer sends a reset command to reset, that is, after the single-chip microcomputer MCU receives the reset command, the single-chip microcomputer MCU sends a reset signal to control the fourth transistor V1, and the lock state of the operational amplifier N1 is released. The 1 pin of the operational amplifier N1 is low, and the first transistor V34 is in an off state. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer MCU can normally distribute power.
[0039] Over-temperature and over-voltage protection: when the power distribution switch normally distributes power, if the temperature of the power distribution switch reaches the over-temperature protection point or the output voltage is too high, the single-chip microcomputer MCU immediately pulls down the power distribution control signal to turn off the second transistor, and the isolation driver and the third transistor are turned off accordingly, thereby protecting the power distribution switch.
