Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application. EMBODIMENT
[0016] The utility model provides the following technical scheme: a kind of overcurrent protection delay recovery circuit for power tube as shown in Figure 2 It includes power tube drive circuit, overcurrent protection circuit and protection delay recovery circuit.
[0017] Wherein power tube drive circuit includes resistance R3, drive circuit, power tube Q1, freewheeling diode D1 and load coil L1.
[0018] Drive circuit includes discrete component or drive chip, one end of input signal connection resistance R3, resistance R3 other end connects drive circuit input, drive circuit output is connected to the gate of power tube Q1, freewheeling diode D1 anode connects power tube Q1 drain, freewheeling diode D1 (diode D1) cathode connects B+ power supply, load coil L1 is connected in parallel on diode D1.
[0019] The overcurrent protection circuit includes voltage comparator U1, resistor R1, resistor R2, resistor R4, and resistor R5.
[0020] Resistor R1 and resistor R2 are connected in series to form a voltage divider, and the output of the voltage divider is connected to the "positive input" of voltage comparator U1 to provide a reference voltage. One end of sampling resistor R5 (i.e., resistor R5) is connected to the source of power transistor Q1, and the other end of resistor R5 is connected to ground. One end of feedback resistor R4 (i.e., resistor R4) is connected to the source of power transistor Q1, and the other end of resistor R4 is connected to the "negative input" of voltage comparator U1.
[0021] The protection delay recovery circuit includes zener diode D2, NPN transistor Q2, NPN transistor Q3, resistor R6, resistor R7, and capacitor C1.
[0022] The cathode of zener diode D2 is connected to the output of voltage comparator U1, and the anode of zener diode D2 is connected to the base of NPN transistor Q2. One end of resistor R6 is connected to the cathode of zener diode D2, and the other end of resistor R6 is connected to 5V. One end of capacitor C1 is connected to the cathode of zener diode D2, and the other end of capacitor C1 is connected to ground. The emitter of NPN transistor Q2 is connected to ground, the collector of NPN transistor Q2 is connected to the base of NPN transistor Q3, one end of resistor R7 is connected to the base of NPN transistor Q3, and the other end of resistor R7 is connected to 5V (i.e., the end of resistor R7 opposite to NPN transistor Q3 is connected to 5V). The emitter of NPN transistor Q3 is connected to ground, and the collector of NPN transistor Q3 is connected to the input of the drive circuit.
[0023] 5V is the system power supply, and the input signal is generally sent by MCU. When the circuit is working, MCU sends a PWM signal, which is converted into a power transistor drive signal by the drive circuit and input to the gate of Q1 (power transistor Q1). After the power transistor is turned on, current flows from B+ through the coil load. If the load is short-circuited at this time, the voltage across R5 (sampling resistor R5) rises. This voltage enters the "negative input" of voltage comparator U1 through feedback resistor R4 and is compared with the "positive input" voltage. If it is higher than the protection reference value set by resistors R1 and R2, the output of voltage comparator U1 will be pulled low to discharge the stored charge of capacitor C1, NPN transistor Q2 will be turned off, NPN transistor Q3 will be turned on, and NPN transistor Q3 will pull the PWM signal input to the drive circuit low to turn off, and the corresponding power transistor Q1 will be turned off.
[0024] After the over-current fault disappears, the voltage comparator U1 output exits the low level state, and the 5V power supply charges the capacitor C1 through the resistor R6 again until the voltage is higher than the sum of the voltage stabilizing value of the voltage stabilizing tube D2 and the off voltage of the NPN transistor Q2, the NPN transistor Q2 is turned on again, and the PWM signal can re-enter the driving circuit after the NPN transistor Q3 is turned off. During this time, the power tube Q1 is in a closed state, and the power tube has enough time to cool down. Even if the load is still in a short-circuit state at this time, the power tube will not be turned on, so there is no damage caused by the fact that the power tube works in a high-frequency pulse large current state and heats up when the load is short-circuited in the prior art driving circuit (such as shown in Figure 1 The voltage division ratio of the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 can be changed, and the sampling resistor R5 value is changed to set the current limiting value of the circuit (the current limiting value can be set by changing the voltage division ratio of R1 and R2 and changing the sampling resistor R5 value to adapt to the actual needs); by changing the voltage stabilizing value of the voltage stabilizing tube D2 or the resistance and capacitance parameters R6 and C1, the protection delay time can be changed, and the circuit parameters can be adjusted flexibly.
