Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a power supply circuit, specifically, to a high-precision constant current source circuit with remote control function. Background Technology

[0002] A linear constant current power supply is a type of constant output current source. It utilizes the linear amplification principle of a regulating transistor, adjusting the output voltage by regulating the line voltage drop of the transistor, thereby achieving a constant output current. Its constant current accuracy and response speed are far superior to other constant current power supplies. However, traditional linear constant current sources can only achieve relative constant current, meaning that constant current control is lost when the load approaches a short circuit. Traditional constant current power supplies require adjusting the output current limit value during use, or can only achieve local control adjustment through potentiometers or external circuits, but cannot implement remote monitoring of output parameters. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model is designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a highly reliable, integrated, high-precision constant current source with remote control function and supporting short-circuit constant current.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A high-precision constant current source with remote control capability includes an AC input circuit, a transformer, a rectifier and filter circuit, a linear adjustment circuit, an output filter circuit, and a constant current output circuit connected in sequence. The linear adjustment circuit includes a constant current power circuit and a constant current control circuit. The constant current power circuit is controlled by the constant current control circuit to achieve a constant output current. The output quantity sampling circuit samples the current and voltage values ​​of the constant current output and transmits the sampling information to the MCU control circuit, which then controls the constant current control circuit. A remote computer communicates with the MCU control circuit via a communication interface circuit.

[0006] The high-precision constant current source with remote control function includes a constant current power circuit comprising cascaded transistors Q1 and Q2, diode D11, resistors R* and R20, and capacitors C11, C12, and C13. The collectors of the cascaded transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected to the output of the rectifier and filter circuit. The base of transistor Q1 is connected to the constant current control circuit drive output connection point b. The emitter of transistor Q2, i.e., connection point I, is connected to the positive input terminal of the output filter circuit, i.e., connection point R, through the voltage divider resistor R20. The positive input terminal of the output filter circuit is connected to the negative terminal of diode D11, one end of capacitor C12, and the positive terminal of C13, respectively. The negative input terminal of the output filter circuit is connected to the positive terminal of diode D11, the other end of capacitor C12, and the negative terminal of C13, respectively. One end of the parallel connection of resistor R* and capacitor C11 is connected to the negative input terminal of the output filter circuit, and the other end is connected to the constant current control circuit adjustment output connection point ADJ.

[0007] The high-precision constant current source with remote control function has a constant current control circuit that samples the output voltage through the voltage divider resistor R20 at the constant current output terminal and then feeds it back to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier IC3-1. That is, connection point I is connected to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier IC3-1 through capacitor C5. It is compared with the reference voltage of the inverting input. After the output signal is amplified, it controls the base current of the transistor Q3 to adjust the on-resistance of the transistor Q3, thereby adjusting the output voltage and achieving a relatively stable output voltage.

[0008] The constant current control circuit samples the output current through a sampling resistor R20 connected in series on the output line. The current signal is converted into a voltage signal and fed back to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier IC3-2 through the series resistor R8. The voltage signal is compared with the reference voltage at the inverting input. After the output signal is amplified, it controls the base current of the transistor to adjust the on-resistance of the transistor, thereby adjusting the output voltage and achieving a constant output current. The regulated output is then filtered by a filter capacitor before being supplied to the load.

[0009] The high-precision constant current source with remote control function uses a power frequency transformer to achieve isolation and voltage reduction.

[0010] The high-precision constant current source with remote control function adopts an RS485 / 232 interface for communication interface circuit. The computer can remotely control and read parameters through the RS485 / 232 interface to realize remote control of the MCU control circuit.

[0011] The high-precision constant current source with remote control function adopts an all-metal seal and solid potting structure.

[0012] This invention relates to an online integrated monolithic linear regulated power supply. The input voltage is stepped down using a power frequency transformer, and the DC output voltage is adjusted using an operational amplifier and a regulating transistor to achieve a constant output current. Short-circuit constant current is achieved by utilizing the positive and negative power supplies of the amplifier. It connects to a computer via a 485 / 232 converter interface, and displays and outputs the voltage and current on a monitor. The output voltage and current can be adjusted via commands sent from the computer. The power supply employs solid potting and a fully sealed metal structure to improve environmental adaptability.

[0013] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The 220V AC input is first isolated and stepped down by a power frequency transformer to meet the low voltage drop requirement of the subsequent regulating transistor. It is then converted into pulsating DC by a rectifier and filter circuit. A voltage regulation control circuit composed of operational amplifiers adjusts the base current of the transistor to regulate the output voltage. Output sampling uses a resistor connected in series in the output line. Changes in output current are detected by monitoring the voltage change across the sampling resistor, and this feedback is sent to the adjustment circuit to adjust the output voltage. This allows for adaptive adjustment of the output voltage when the load changes, achieving a constant output current. An A / D conversion unit collects various parameters of the power supply output and sends them to a computer via a 485 / 232 conversion interface. These parameters are then displayed on a monitor. The computer transmits control commands to a D / A conversion unit via the 485 / 232 conversion interface. After conversion by the D / A conversion unit, the output voltage and output current of the power supply are adjusted.

[0014] Compared with traditional constant current sources, this invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. Online working mode, directly connected to the municipal power grid.

[0016] 2. Constant current accuracy is higher than 5‰.

[0017] 3. Supports short-circuit constant current mode.

[0018] 4. Remote computer control and reading of output values.

[0019] 5. All-metal seal, solid potting, resistant to harsh operating environments.

[0020] 6. Strong compatibility with power grid.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it has high constant current accuracy, can output constant current at 0V, supports short-circuit constant current, can realize computer remote control, and has strong power grid adaptability. It is fully metal sealed, solidly potted, and resistant to harsh operating environments. Attached Figure Description
