Technical Field

[0002] Engine speed varies widely during operation, and the generator's terminal voltage will also vary considerably with engine speed. The generator requires stable voltage for supplying power to electrical equipment and charging the battery. Therefore, to maintain a relatively constant voltage value, the generator's output voltage must be regulated. The voltage regulator controls the charging of the battery by the vehicle's generator, preventing overcharging. Existing automatic generator voltage regulators only have voltage regulation functions and lack other extended functions. Traditional generator voltage regulation systems are increasingly unable to meet the growing operational demands. Utility Model Content

It also adds overload and overvoltage protection. By collecting these data, it can determine whether the generator's external circuit is normal, whether the generator's operating status is normal, and whether the generator needs to enter protection mode.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0021] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] A multi-functional automatic voltage regulator for DC generators, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a housing 1, a control circuit board 2, and a generator. The control circuit board 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and electrically connected to the generator. The control circuit board 2 includes a voltage regulation module circuit 201 and a multi-function module circuit 202. The voltage regulation module circuit 201 and the multi-function module circuit 202 are electrically connected, and the multi-function module circuit 202 is electrically connected to the generator. The main function of the voltage regulation module circuit 201 is to regulate the generator's output voltage by controlling the magnitude of the generator's excitation current. When the generator's output voltage is lower than a set value, the voltage regulation module increases the excitation current, thereby increasing the generator's output voltage; conversely, when the generator's output voltage is higher than the set value, it decreases the excitation current to lower the generator's output voltage, thereby maintaining the stability of the generator's output voltage. The multi-function module circuit 202 is responsible for processing various signals from the generator and monitoring and protecting the generator. The multi-function module circuit 202 can detect the generator's load status, fault information, etc., and feed this information back to the engine control module or other control systems. The control circuit board 2 is directly connected to the generator via the voltage regulation module circuit 201, which enables the voltage regulation module to monitor and adjust the generator's output voltage in real time. Simultaneously, the multi-function module circuit 202, through its electrical connection to the generator, can receive the generator's operating status information and process and provide feedback as needed.
[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 2, Figure 3 As shown, the voltage regulation module circuit 201 includes a D+ terminal, a D- terminal, a filter voltage divider circuit LC, an integrated power supply module U1, a voltage regulator chip U2, a voltage regulator chip U3, and a MOSFET Q1. The generator is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply through the D+ terminal, and the D- terminal is connected to the negative terminal. The D+ terminal is electrically connected to the filter voltage divider circuit LC. The function of the filter voltage divider circuit LC is to reduce voltage fluctuations and provide a stable voltage signal for subsequent circuits. The D+ terminal is also electrically connected to the integrated power supply module U1. The main function of the integrated power supply module U1 is to convert the 12V power supplied by the generator to 5V power for use by other electronic devices. The integrated power supply module U1 is also electrically connected to the voltage regulator chip U2 and the voltage regulator chip U3. The voltage regulator chip U2 is used to further stabilize the output voltage, ensuring it remains at a constant level. The voltage regulator chip U3 is responsible for adjusting the output voltage to meet the needs of different loads. The DD pin of the voltage regulator chip U3 is electrically connected to the gate of the MOSFET Q1, and the output voltage is adjusted by controlling the conduction and cutoff of the MOSFET Q1. Specifically, when the voltage regulator chip U3 detects that the output voltage is lower than the set value, it increases the voltage to the gate of MOSFET Q1, turning on the MOSFET and thus increasing the load current. Conversely, when the output voltage is higher than the set value, the voltage regulator chip U3 decreases the voltage to the gate of MOSFET Q1, turning off the MOSFET and reducing the load current. This dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures the stability and reliability of the output voltage.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the multi-function module circuit 202 includes a first logic circuit chip U4, a multi-function module U5, a second logic circuit chip U6, and a 5V power supply port. The DD pin of the voltage regulator chip U3 is electrically connected to the first logic circuit chip U4. This voltage regulator chip U3 is responsible for providing a stable voltage to U4. There is an electrical connection between the first logic circuit chip U4 and the multi-function module U5. The first logic circuit chip U4 sends control signals to the multi-function module U5 to monitor the generator excitation. There is also an electrical connection between the multi-function module U5 and the second logic circuit chip U6; the multi-function module U5 transmits processed data or signals to the second logic circuit chip U6.
[0026] Furthermore, preferably, the integrated power module U1 uses a 78L12 chip, the voltage regulator chip U2 uses an L78L05ABUTR chip, and the power management chip U3 uses a Cs3361 chip. The first logic circuit chip U4 and the second logic circuit chip U6 both use SN74AHCT1G14 chips, and the multi-function module U5 uses an STC15W204S microcontroller chip.
[0027] The above description only describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, and all such changes should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
