[0034] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "mount", "connect" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through intermediate medium, or the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The relay is an automatic switching element with isolation function, the relay is an automatic switching element with isolation function, it has the induction mechanism that can react the excitation of the outside world, the execution mechanism that realizes "on", "off" control to the controlled circuit, and the intermediate comparison mechanism that can complete comparison, judgment and conversion function to the size of excitation, mainly plays the role of control, protection, regulation and information transmission.

[0036] With the development of switching power supply and relay control technology, the single power density is continuously improved, the capacitor capacity is continuously improved, the load output ability is strengthened, and the relay circuit used in cooperation with the pre-charge circuit in the vehicle power supply is also generated.

[0037] The relay circuit generates current, magnetic field through the relay coil, and realizes the functions of automatic adjustment, safety protection, conversion circuit, etc. in various high load control circuits. However, the inventors of the present application found through long-term research that in the application scene of closed space or long time work, the coil of the relay has a high temperature, which causes the power at both ends of the coil to exceed the rated power, not only affecting the service life of the relay, but also reducing the reliability of the relay circuit.

[0038] Therefore, the present application provides a relay circuit, which can share part of the voltage in the circuit by setting a resistance module in the relay circuit, so as to reduce the voltage of the relay, thereby reducing the power consumption of the relay, reducing the demand for power supply, and prolonging the service life of the relay.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of a relay circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application, which comprises a first switch 100, a resistance module 200 and a relay 300. Figure 1

[0040] Among them, the second end of the first switch 100 is connected to the first end of the resistance module 200, and the first end of the first switch 100 is grounded; the second end of the resistance module 200 is connected to the first end of the relay 300; the second end of the relay 300 is connected to the voltage.

[0041] Optionally, the first switch 100 can be a travel switch, a miniature circuit breaker, a semiconductor and the like, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0042] In an embodiment, the first switch 100 comprises a semiconductor device for controlling current.

[0043] Optionally, the semiconductor device can include diodes, triodes, thyristors and the like, which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0044] It can be understood that when the first switch 100 is closed, the relay 300 is powered.

[0045] The above-mentioned resistance module 200 comprises one or more resistors. Among them, when the resistors in the resistance module 200 are multiple, the multiple resistors are connected in series or parallel.

[0046] ​The relay 300 here is an electric control device, which can include a coil, contacts, electromagnets and other elements. In the case of power supply to the relay 300, the coil and other elements may be heated under the influence of temperature and voltage, and the greater the power consumption, the more serious the heating. If the coil and other elements work in high-temperature conditions for a long time, their service life may be affected.

[0047] It should be understood that in the case of power supply to the relay 300, the first switch 100, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 are in a pass-through state. At this time, since the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 are connected in series, based on the principle of series voltage division, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 are divided, and the power consumption of the relay 300 can be reduced.

[0048] In the above implementation process, by arranging the resistance module 200 in the relay circuit, the resistance module 200 can share part of the voltage in the circuit to reduce the voltage of the relay 300, thereby reducing the power consumption of the relay 300, reducing the demand for power supply, and prolonging the service life of the relay 300.

[0049] In a possible implementation, the relay circuit further includes a first switch control module 400.

[0050] The first switch control module 400 is connected to the first end of the first switch 100.

[0051] The first switch control module 400 here is used to provide a control current for the first switch 100, and the first switch 100 is configured to be turned on or turned off according to the control current provided by the first switch control module 400.

[0052] Optionally, the first switch control module 400 can be a field effect transistor, a transistor, an analog circuit, a digital circuit, a single-chip microcomputer, etc., which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0053] It can be understood that the first switch control module 400 provides a corresponding control signal to the first switch 100 according to actual needs, thereby controlling the first switch 100 to be turned on or turned off, and thereby realizing the control of the relay circuit.

[0054] In the above implementation process, by arranging the first switch control module 400, the automatic control of the first switch 100 can be automatically realized by the first switch control module 400, which can reduce human intervention, realize the automation of the relay circuit control, improve the control efficiency, and reduce the working intensity of the staff.

[0055] In a possible implementation, as Figure 2As shown, the semiconductor device includes a first transistor Q1, and the first switch control module 400 includes a first capacitor C1, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2.

[0056] The first transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the resistance module 200, the first end of the first capacitor C1, the first end of the first resistor R1 and the second end of the second resistor R2, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 and the second end of the first resistor R1 are connected to the ground. The first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first signal controller D01.

[0057] The first transistor Q1 is a semiconductor transistor, which is a semiconductor device for controlling current.

[0058] The first transistor Q1 is configured to be in an on state when a high voltage is applied to the base of the first transistor Q1 and the potential of the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is lower than the potential of the base of the first transistor Q1. The first transistor Q1 is in an off state when a low voltage is applied to the base of the first transistor Q1 and the potential of the collector of the first transistor Q1 is higher than the potential of the base of the first transistor Q1.

[0059] The first resistor R1 is configured to stabilize and protect the first transistor Q1.

[0060] It can be understood that for the first transistor Q1, temperature changes will affect the characteristics of the first transistor Q1 (such as base-emitter voltage and collector current). By setting the first resistor R1 between the base and the emitter, a stable bias current can be provided through the first resistor R1, thereby reducing temperature-induced changes.

[0061] In addition, by setting the first resistor R1 between the base and the emitter, the first resistor R1 can form a negative feedback, and the voltage drop across the first resistor R1 can compensate for some of the effects of temperature changes, thereby maintaining the stability of the collector current.

[0062] It should be understood that the first transistor Q1 amplifies and outputs the direct current signal. Since the direct current signal may interfere with the operation of the next stage circuit or affect the subsequent electronic components, it is necessary to isolate the direct current signal when outputting. By connecting the first capacitor C1 in parallel between the base and the emitter of the transistor, the direct current signal can be isolated, and only the alternating current signal can be amplified.

[0063] The second resistor R2 is configured to limit the current flowing through the base to prevent excessive current from damaging the transistor and to protect the transistor.

[0064] In the implementation process, by setting the first switch 100 including the first triode Q1, the on-off of the first triode Q1 can be controlled based on the power-on condition of the first triode Q1, and the flexibility of the control of the first switch 100 is improved. In addition, by setting the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1, the stability of the operation of the first triode Q1 can be improved through the cooperation of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1. Further, by setting the second resistor R2, the second resistor R2 can be used to limit the current flowing through the first triode Q1, protect the first triode Q1, and prolong the service life of the first triode Q1.

[0065] In a possible implementation, the relay circuit further includes a second capacitor C2.

[0066] The first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the collector of the first triode Q1, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the emitter of the first triode Q1 and grounded.

[0067] It should be understood that when the first triode Q1 is working, there is a certain voltage difference between the collector and the emitter, so that a certain current flows between them. Because the triode has an amplification effect, these currents may be amplified if not controlled, and even cause the emitter voltage to be too high and burn out the triode. The presence of the second capacitor C2 plays a role in isolating the direct current signal, which allows alternating current signals to pass through, but prevents direct current signals or direct current components from passing through, thereby avoiding the damage to the triode due to excessive direct current.

[0068] In the implementation process, by setting the second capacitor C2 between the collector and the emitter of the first triode Q1, the second capacitor C2 can play a role in isolating the direct current signal, avoiding the damage to the triode due to excessive direct current, improving the stability of the first triode Q1, and prolonging the service life of the first triode Q1.

[0069] In a possible implementation, as shown in Figure 3 The relay circuit further includes a second switch 500.

[0070] The second end of the second switch 500 is connected to the first end of the relay 300, and the first end of the second switch 500 is grounded.

[0071] The first switch 100 and the second switch 500 are alternately connected to the relay 300. The first switch 100 and the second switch 500 can be the same or different. The specific types of the first switch 100 and the second switch 500 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0072] Optionally, the second switch 500 can be a travel switch, a miniature circuit breaker, a semiconductor, or the like. The second switch 500 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0073] In an embodiment, the second switch 500 comprises a semiconductor device for controlling current.

[0074] Optionally, the semiconductor device can comprise a diode, a triode, a thyristor, etc., which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0075] It can be understood that, when the second switch 500 is closed and the first switch 100 is opened, the second switch 500 and the relay 300 form a path, and the relay 300 is powered through the second switch 500. When the second switch 500 is closed and the first switch 100 is also closed, the second switch 500 and the relay 300 form a path, and the first switch 100, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 also form a path state, and the relay 300 is powered through the first switch 100 and the second switch 500. When the second switch 500 is opened and the first switch 100 is closed, the first switch 100, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 form a path state, and the relay 300 is powered through the first switch 100. When the second switch 500 is opened and the first switch 100 is also opened, the relay 300 is powered off.

[0076] In the path state, the first switch 100, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 are in series connection. At this time, based on the principle of series voltage division, the resistance module 200 and the relay 300 are divided in voltage, and thus the power consumption of the relay 300 can be reduced.

[0077] It should be understood that, in some scenarios, in order to provide the working efficiency of the relay circuit or avoid the influence of resistance heating on the working environment of the relay circuit, it is necessary to avoid connecting the resistance module 200 in the relay circuit. In this case, the first switch 100 can be controlled to be opened, and the second switch 500 can be controlled to be closed, so as to power the relay circuit through the second switch 500.

[0078] In the above implementation process, by arranging the first switch 100 and the second switch 500 in the relay circuit, and connecting the first switch 100 to the relay 300 through the resistance module 200 and directly connecting the second switch 500 to the relay 300, the working states of the first switch 100 and the second switch 500 can be switched to realize the switching of different paths and increase the application scenarios of the relay circuit.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the relay circuit further comprises a second switch control module 600.

[0080] The second switch control module 600 is connected to the first end of the second switch 500.

[0081] The second switch control module 600 is configured to provide a control current for the second switch 500, and the second switch 500 is configured to be turned on or turned off according to the control current provided by the second switch control module 600.

[0082] Optionally, the second switch control module 600 can be a field effect transistor, a transistor, an analog circuit, a digital circuit, a single-chip microcomputer, or the like, which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0083] It can be understood that the second switch control module 600 provides a corresponding control signal to the second switch 500 according to actual needs, thereby controlling the second switch 500 to be turned on or turned off, and thereby realizing the control of the relay circuit.

[0084] In the above implementation process, by setting the second switch control module 600, the automatic control of the second switch 500 can be automatically realized by the second switch control module 600, the human intervention can be reduced, the automation of the relay circuit control can be realized, the control efficiency can be improved, and the working intensity of the staff can be reduced.

[0085] In a possible implementation, the second switch 500 includes a second transistor Q2, a third capacitor C3, a third resistor R3, and a fourth resistor R4.

[0086] The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the relay 300; the base of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the third capacitor C3, the first end of the third resistor R3, and the second end of the fourth resistor R4; the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the second end of the third capacitor C3 and the second end of the third resistor R3 and grounded; and the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second signal controller D02.

[0087] The second transistor Q2 is a kind of semiconductor transistor, and the second transistor Q2 is a kind of semiconductor device for controlling current.

[0088] The second transistor Q2 is configured to be in a conductive state when a high voltage is applied to the base of the second transistor Q2 and the potential of the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is lower than the potential of the base of the second transistor Q2. In the case of applying a low voltage to the base of the second transistor Q2, and the potential of the collector of the second transistor Q2 is higher than the potential of the base of the second transistor Q2, the second transistor Q2 is in a cut-off state.

[0089] The third resistor R3 is configured to stabilize and protect the second transistor Q2.

[0090] It can be understood that, for the second transistor Q2, temperature changes will affect the characteristics (such as base-emitter voltage and collector current) of the second transistor Q2. By arranging the third resistor R3 between the base and the emitter, a stable bias current can be provided through the third resistor R3, thereby reducing temperature-induced changes.

[0091] In addition, by arranging the third resistor R3 between the base and the emitter, the third resistor R3 can form a negative feedback, and the voltage drop across the third resistor R3 can compensate for the effects of some temperature changes, thereby maintaining the stability of the collector current.

[0092] It should be understood that the second transistor Q2 amplifies and outputs the direct current signal. Since the direct current signal can interfere with the operation of the next stage circuit or affect the subsequent electronic components, it is necessary to isolate the direct current signal when outputting. By connecting the third capacitor C3 in parallel between the base and the emitter of the transistor, the direct current signal can be isolated, and only the alternating current signal can be amplified.

[0093] The fourth resistor R4 is configured to limit the current flowing through the base to prevent excessive current from damaging the second transistor Q2, thereby protecting the second transistor Q2.

[0094] In the above implementation process, by arranging the second switch 500 to include the second transistor Q2, the on-off of the second transistor Q2 can be controlled based on the power supply condition of the second transistor Q2, thereby improving the flexibility of the control of the second switch 500. In addition, by arranging the third capacitor C3 and the third resistor R3, the stability of the operation of the second transistor Q2 can be improved through the cooperation of the third resistor R3 and the third capacitor C3. By arranging the fourth resistor R4, the fourth resistor R4 can be used to limit the current flowing through the second transistor Q2, thereby protecting the second transistor Q2 and prolonging the service life of the second transistor Q2.

[0095] In a possible implementation, the relay circuit further includes a fourth capacitor C4 and a voltage stabilizing tube D1.

[0096] The first end of the fourth capacitor C4 and the first end of the voltage stabilizing tube D1 are connected to the collector of the second transistor Q2; the second end of the fourth capacitor C4 and the second end of the voltage stabilizing tube D1 are connected to the emitter of the second transistor Q2 and grounded.

[0097] It should be understood that when the second transistor Q2 is in operation, there is a certain voltage difference between the collector and the emitter, so that a certain current flows between them. Due to the amplification effect of the second transistor Q2, these currents may be amplified if not controlled, even causing the emitter voltage to be too high and burning out the second transistor Q2. The presence of the fourth capacitor C4 plays a role in isolating the direct current signal, allowing alternating current signals to pass through, while preventing the passage of direct current or direct current components, thereby avoiding the damage to the second transistor Q2 due to excessive direct current.

[0098] The above-mentioned voltage stabilizing tube D1 can quickly conduct when the voltage exceeds its rated value, and consume the excess voltage on itself, thereby protecting the second transistor Q2 from overvoltage damage. In addition, the voltage stabilizing tube D1 can ensure that the voltage between the collector and the emitter does not exceed its breakdown voltage, thereby protecting other elements in the circuit from high voltage.

[0099] In the above implementation process, by arranging the fourth capacitor C4 between the collector and the emitter of the second transistor Q2, the fourth capacitor C4 can play a role in isolating the direct current signal, avoiding the damage to the second transistor Q2 due to excessive direct current, improving the stability of the second transistor Q2, and prolonging the service life of the second transistor Q2. In addition, by arranging the voltage stabilizing tube D1, the voltage stabilizing tube D1 can be used to protect the second transistor Q2 from overvoltage damage, improving the safety of the second transistor Q2. At the same time, it can also avoid the influence of high voltage on other elements in the circuit, improving the safety of other elements in the circuit.

[0100] In a possible implementation, when the first switch 100 is turned on, the second switch 500 is in an open state, and the conduction current flows through the relay 300 and the resistance module 200; when the second switch 500 is turned on, the first switch 100 is in an open state, and the conduction current flows through the relay 300.

[0101] It can be understood that when the first switch 100 control module controls the first switch 100 to be in a conductive state, and the second switch 500 control module controls the second switch 500 to be in a cut-off state, the power supply is added to both ends of the coil of the relay 300, and a certain current flows in the coil, thereby generating power consumption mainly loaded to both ends of the coil of the relay 300 and both ends of the resistance module 200. At this time, the relay 300 is in a second working state. When the second switch 500 control module controls the second switch 500 to be closed, the second switch 500 forms a loop with the relay 300 and the power supply, and the current in the coil of the relay 300 passes through, generating power consumption mainly loaded to both ends of the coil of the relay 300. At this time, the relay 300 is in a first working state.

[0102] It should be understood that the power consumed by relay 300 in the second operating state is less than the power consumed in the first operating state.

[0103] In the above implementation, by setting a first switch 100 and a second switch 500 in the relay circuit, with the first switch 100 connected to the relay 300 via a resistor module 200 and the second switch 500 directly connected to the relay 300, the switching of different paths can be achieved by switching the operating states of the first switch 100 and the second switch 500, thus expanding the application scenarios of this relay circuit.

[0104] In one possible implementation, the resistor module 200 includes multiple resistors connected in parallel; the first ends of the multiple resistors are connected to the second ends of the first switch 100, and the second ends of the multiple resistors are connected to the first ends of the relay 300.

[0105] Optionally, the resistors in the resistor module 200 can be the same resistor or different resistors. The resistors in the resistor module 200 can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0106] It should be understood that the resistance value of the resistor module 200 can be adjusted by adjusting the number of resistors connected in parallel in the resistor module 200 or by adjusting the resistance value of the switching resistor module 200 with different resistance values.

[0107] In the above implementation process, by setting the resistor module 200 to a structure of multiple resistors connected in parallel, the resistor module 200 can be adjusted by adjusting the number or resistance value of the parallel resistors, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the resistor module 200 and increasing the application scenarios of the resistor module 200.
