[0024] To make the utility model technical scheme more clearly, the utility model is further detailed below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiment.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] In combination with the drawings Figures 1-5 A miniature DC water turbine generator with voltage protection and rectification device has the function that the current directly generated is converted into DC power for subsequent electrical devices, and the miniature DC water turbine generator includes a primary shell 14 and a secondary shell 12, the secondary shell 12 is fixed on the primary shell 14, the secondary shell 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the primary shell 14, the primary shell 14 and the secondary shell 12 are communicated, the primary shell 14 is provided with a generator 16 fixedly arranged therein, the generator 16 in the primary shell 14 is provided with a protection rectification PCBA board 17 at the end thereof, and the alternating current generated by the generator 16 is transmitted to the protection rectification PCBA board 17.

[0027] The protection rectification PCBA board 17 is provided with a protection rectification circuit, which can convert the alternating current generated by the miniature generator into DC power, and output the DC power in a stable voltage form by removing harmful surges for use by subsequent DC power accessories.

[0028] The protection rectifier circuit is configured to convert AC power into DC power, and rectify, filter and limit the voltage of the converted DC power, so that subsequent DC power accessories can be used stably.

[0029] The protection rectifier circuit includes a rectifier bridge stack for converting AC power into DC power, the rectifier bridge stack is connected to an AC power supply port, and the rectifier bridge stack is connected to a bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode D5, which removes the transient voltage and surge voltage from the AC power supply after conversion into DC power, has the functions of anti-static and surge current, and can protect the subsequent circuit. The output of the bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode D5 is divided into two lines, one output line is directly output from the LIGHT port after passing through a current limiting resistor R1, and is used to drive the subsequent circuit. The current-limited power supply can directly drive some loads that do not require high voltage stability.

[0030] The other output line is further filtered and stabilized before output, and is used to connect various standard DC power accessories that require voltage stability. The filtering is composed of two filter capacitors, and the voltage stabilization is performed by a low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1. The two filter capacitors are a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. The current flows through the bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode D5, then through the first capacitor C1, then through the low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1, then through the second capacitor C2, and then outputs to the subsequent appliance.

[0031] The rectifier bridge stack is composed of four rectifier diodes A7, which are a first rectifier diode D1, a second rectifier diode D2, a third rectifier diode D2, and a fourth rectifier diode D4.

[0032] The low-dropout linear voltage regulator includes a voltage stabilization input, a voltage stabilization output, and a voltage stabilization ground. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are filter capacitors. The first capacitor C1 is connected to the voltage stabilization input, and the second capacitor C2 is connected to the voltage stabilization output.

[0033] The low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1 has three structures, namely a voltage stabilization input U1-IN, a voltage stabilization output U1-OUT, and a voltage stabilization ground U1-GND for connecting to the output ground GND. The package form of the low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1 is preferably SOT89.

[0034] The negative pole of the first rectifier diode D1 and the positive pole of the second rectifier diode D2 are respectively connected to one end of the AC port AC-B, the positive pole of the third rectifier diode D3 and the negative pole of the fourth rectifier diode D4 are respectively connected to the other end of the AC port AC-A, the positive pole of the first rectifier diode D1 is connected to the output ground GND, the negative pole of the second rectifier diode D2 is connected to the voltage stabilizing input U1-IN, the negative pole of the third rectifier diode D3 is connected to the voltage stabilizing input U1-IN, and the positive pole of the fourth rectifier diode D4 is connected to the output ground GND.

[0035] The bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode D5 is connected between the voltage stabilizing input VCC and the output negative pole GND, the first capacitor C1 is connected between the voltage stabilizing input U1-IN and the output ground GND, and one end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the voltage stabilizing output U1-OUT and the output positive pole VCC, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the output ground GND.

[0036] The filtered voltage through the first capacitor C1 enters the low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1, the low-dropout linear voltage regulator U1 outputs the stabilized voltage to the second capacitor C2 for further filtering and energy storage, and finally outputs to the output positive pole VCC and the output ground GND. The output positive pole VCC and the output ground GND here are power supplies with stable voltage and harmful surges filtered out.

[0037] The output ground GND not only serves as a ground line, but also as a zero-point reference point and an output negative pole, and the output direction ports of the output positive pole VCC and the output ground GND can also be connected to multiple output positive poles VCC and output grounds GND.

[0038] The voltage stabilizing input VCC is connected to the LIGHT port, and a current-limiting resistor R1 is arranged between the LIGHT port and the voltage stabilizing input. The current-limiting resistor R1 is preferably 47R / 5%.

[0039] The protection rectification PCBA board 17 can also have an output interface 171 for connecting to a circuit in the rear stage that needs to use direct current. The voltage protection and the AC-DC conversion circuit of the protection rectification PCBA board 17 output a stable voltage direct current and a non-stable but current-limited direct current, and the two outputs share a common output structure.

[0040] The inner liner 18 is arranged in the primary shell 14, the generator 16 is arranged in the inner liner 18, and after the inner liner 18, the generator 16 and the protection rectification PCBA board 17 in the primary shell 14 are installed, the inner liner 18 in the primary shell 14 is filled with glue to seal the generator 16 and the protection rectification PCBA board 17, which is used to stabilize the motor and reduce the erosion of water vapor in a humid environment to the circuit. The glue sealing is only used to prevent the generator 16 from moving and will not block the water flow.

[0041] The protection rectifier PCBA board 17 is preferably fixed on the generator 16 by buckling and pouring glue.

[0042] The driving shaft of the generator 16 extends into the secondary shell 12, and the wind blade 13 is fixed on the driving shaft in the secondary shell 12. After the micro direct-current water power generator is installed on the water pipe joint, the water flow passes through the micro direct-current water power generator to drive the wind blade 13 to rotate, the rotation of the wind blade 13 drives the driving shaft of the generator 16 to rotate, thereby making the generator 16 generate electricity.

[0043] The secondary shell 12 is provided with a filter screen 11 and a secondary shell sealing ring 10 in sequence away from the primary shell 14, and the primary shell 14 is provided with a primary shell sealing ring 15 on the side close to the secondary shell 12. The secondary shell sealing ring 10 and the primary shell sealing ring 15 are used to prevent the water flow from overflowing after the micro direct-current water power generator is installed on the water pipe, which is inconvenient to use. The filter screen 11 prevents impurities in the water pipe from entering the secondary shell 12 and interfering with the wind blade 13, blocking the power generation, or damaging the wind blade 13.

[0044] The output interface 171 can be connected to a direct-current lamp panel, a direct-current temperature display, a direct-current time display, etc.

[0045] The protection rectifier PCBA board 17 has welding points for input and output leads, which are used for welding the input and output leads.

[0046] The high-voltage-resistant (>20V) voltage stabilizing circuit used in the alternating current-direct current conversion circuit with voltage protection and rectifying device enables the circuit board of the alternating current-direct current conversion circuit with voltage protection and rectifying device to withstand high voltage transient caused by sudden change of water pressure. The alternating current-direct current conversion circuit with voltage protection and rectifying device has energy storage and filter capacitors inside, which can buffer voltage fluctuation caused by sudden change of water pressure or load current change.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be noted that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application patent should be subject to the appended claims.
