[0021] Specifically, diodes D3, D4, and D5 are isolation diodes.
[0022] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the PWM control chip U4 is model AP8267, the optocouplers U1A and U1B are model BPC817, and the three-terminal regulator U3 is model TL431.
[0023] Please refer to it again. Figure 1When the power PWM control chip U4 starts supplying power via VCC, pin 6 of the PWM control chip U4 begins to output. When the output is high, the current in the primary winding T2A of transformer T2 flows from the upper pin 6 to GND. Since the inductor suppresses current changes, the induced voltage in the primary winding T2A of transformer T2 is + on and - on. The induced voltage at the same terminal of the secondary winding T2C of transformer T2 is - on and + on. MOSFET Q1 is off, and the induced voltage at the same terminal of the secondary winding T2B of transformer T2 is + on and - on. When the output is high, MOSFET Q3 is on, capacitor CE1 discharges, and the primary winding T1A of transformer T1 stores energy. VIN charges capacitor CE1 through diode D3 and flows to GND through inductor L2. When pin 6 of the PWM control chip U4 starts to output, when the output is low, the current in the primary winding T2A of transformer T2 is cut off. Since the inductor suppresses current changes, the induced voltage in the primary winding T2A of transformer T2 is - on and + on. The secondary winding T2C of transformer T2 is induced to be positive (+) and negative (-), MOSFET Q1 is turned on. The secondary winding T2B of transformer T2 is induced to be negative (-) and positive (+), outputting a high level. MOSFET Q3 is turned off. The primary winding T1A of transformer T1 stores energy and couples it to the secondary winding for discharge. VIN charges capacitor CE1 through diode D3. VIN flows to GND through inductor L2, which stores energy. The power factor (PF) value of the circuit mainly depends on the conduction angle of the diodes in rectifier bridge BD1. The current and voltage phases remain in phase and follow each other. The larger the conduction angle, the higher the PF value and the lower the harmonic value. Compared with conventional adapter power supply circuits, the increased energy storage and discharge of inductor L2 during power supply operation effectively prolongs the diode conduction time, which is equivalent to increasing the conduction angle of the diodes in rectifier bridge BD1, thus increasing the PF value to greater than 0.9. Therefore, it can meet the requirement of harmonics greater than 25W.

No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
