Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to high voltage power supply technical field, concretely relates to a high voltage power supply personal protection circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] In high voltage power supply product, when local protection shutdown or external high voltage source is disconnected, there is a high voltage on the output port when the local machine is in shutdown state, and the staff will think it is safe when discovering that the power supply is shutdown, thereby touching the output port and causing electric shock, so a circuit or device that can quickly discharge voltage when the machine is shutdown and indicate that there is high voltage at this time is needed to protect personal safety.

[0003] At present, in the high voltage power supply part of the power supply industry, internal constant current source or external high voltage detection circuit is generally used to quickly reduce the port voltage when needed, but both of the two schemes have defects. Internal constant current source generally uses operational amplifier chip to control N-type MOS tube G pole, MOS tube D pole connects the positive end of output, MOS tube S pole connects the negative end of output in series with a current limiting resistor, and a constant current is used to pull the output voltage during work. The advantages of this circuit are small occupied volume and adjustable constant current, and the disadvantages are that operational amplifier power supply must be in working state, and once shutdown or machine failure occurs, the constant current source cannot work, so it cannot protect personal safety in the above specific conditions. In addition, constant current source will continuously consume power of fixed current value, and if the power supply is used for battery power supply, the battery will be continuously consumed, causing battery undervoltage.

[0004] There are many methods for using external high voltage detection circuit, which is generally externally connected to the power supply, and there is a relay or contactor inside to shut off voltage output, and the relay or contactor is immediately cut off when the output voltage of the local machine and the external voltage exist pressure difference, at this time, although the power supply output still has high voltage and cannot be discharged, the output of high voltage detection circuit has no high voltage. The advantages of this scheme are fast protection speed, no power consumption when connected to battery, and meeting the demand of personal safety protection. The disadvantage is that an external device needs to be hung, which occupies a large space. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 1 A high voltage power supply personal protection circuit schematic diagram is provided for the utility model.

[0014] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another high-voltage power supply personal protection circuit provided by this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a high-voltage power supply personal protection circuit, which is a novel constant current source circuit. It removes the operational amplifier circuit of the existing constant current source and uses a depletion-type MOSFET Q1 as the main conductor of the constant current source. It includes a depletion-type MOSFET Q1 and a first bleeder resistor R2. The drain of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is connected to the positive output of the high-voltage power supply, and the source of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is connected in series with the first bleeder resistor R2. The other end of the first bleeder resistor R2 is connected to the negative output of the high-voltage power supply, and the gate of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is connected to the negative output of the high-voltage power supply.

[0017] To indicate the presence of residual high voltage at the output port of the high-voltage power supply after shutdown, an LED D1 and a second bleeder resistor R1 are included. The second bleeder resistor R1 is connected in series between the source of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 and the first bleeder resistor R2. The LED D1 is connected in parallel with the second bleeder resistor R1. When the voltage difference is sufficiently large, the LED D1 stops working once it falls below a certain voltage. If used in series with a resistor, the tail of the diode's voltage drop will remain in the power supply, preventing the power supply voltage from being cleared to zero and affecting its operation.

[0018] The values ​​of the first bleeder resistor R2 and the second bleeder resistor R1 are selected based on the highest voltage of the high-voltage power supply. The first bleeder resistor R2 is the main bleeder resistor, and the second bleeder resistor R1 is the auxiliary bleeder resistor. When the high-voltage power supply outputs voltage, because the gate of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is negatively charged relative to its source, and within the Vgs range of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1, Q1 conducts, reducing the voltage with a constant current. No matter how low the high-voltage power supply output voltage drops, the drive of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 remains negative, allowing it to remain on and bleed the high-voltage power supply output voltage to 0V. Therefore, when the high-voltage power supply is turned off, as long as there is power at the high-voltage power supply port, this circuit can continue to work until the port voltage is reduced to 0V. Utilizing the inherent characteristics of the depletion-type MOSFET as a constant current source results in a simple structure, stable performance, and saves machine space, solving the problem of existing constant current sources failing to operate due to internal power outages.

[0019] Figure 2 Is Figure 1 An additional normally open relay was added to the basic design. For example...Figure 2 As shown, another high-voltage power supply personal protection circuit disclosed in this utility model is similar to... Figure 1 The disclosed high-voltage power supply personal protection circuit differs in that it also includes a relay K1, a third resistor R3, and a capacitor C1. The normally open contact 3 of relay K1 is connected to the negative terminal of the internal power supply, the normally open contact 4 of relay K1 is connected to the gate of the depletion-type MOSFET, the coil pin 2 of relay K1 is connected to the positive terminal of the internal power supply, and the coil pin 1 of relay K1 is grounded. The internal power supply is ±12V. When the high-voltage power supply is operating normally, with ±12V available, relay K1 operates, its normally open contact closes, and the negative 12V is connected to the gate of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1. Since the negative 12V voltage is lower than the turn-on voltage of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1, Q1 is turned off, and the constant current source does not start. When the high-voltage power supply is protected or shut down, the internal positive 12V power supply is lost, the normally open relay K1 is not connected, the normally open contact is open, and the negative 12V is disconnected. At this time, when the high-voltage power supply outputs voltage, since the gate of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is negatively charged relative to the source, and within the Vgs range of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1, the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is turned on, and the voltage is reduced by a constant current.

[0020] The gate of the depletion-type MOSFET Q1 is connected to the negative output terminal of the high-voltage power supply through a third resistor R3. Specifically, the first terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the gate of Q1, and the second terminal is connected to the negative output terminal of the high-voltage power supply. R3 acts as a pull-down resistor for the MOSFET. The first terminal of capacitor C1 is connected to the first terminal of the third resistor R3, and the second terminal of capacitor C1 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3. The normally open contact 4 of relay K1 is connected to the first terminal of capacitor C1. Capacitor C1 is used to absorb the instantaneous voltage spikes generated by the operation of relay K1, preventing circuit malfunction.

[0021] This circuit combines the advantages of a common constant current source and an external high-voltage detection circuit. When the high-voltage power supply is operating normally, there is no constant current loss, eliminating the need for current bias in control and preventing battery capacity depletion. During machine protection or shutdown, it provides constant current output voltage reduction protection, ensuring the constant current source will not fail to operate due to internal power outages.

[0022] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
