Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power socket technology, and in particular to a fireproof and high-voltage protection circuit for DC sockets. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more household appliances on the market use adapter power supplies. While power adapters offer safety and convenience and meet people's electricity needs to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings in terms of safety, intelligence, and environmental protection. For existing appliances using adapters, the DC socket must be plugged in first, followed by the 220V AC plug. If some users are in a hurry and do not connect them in the correct order (plugging in the 220V AC plug first, then the DC socket), arcing may occur in the DC socket. Furthermore, if multiple adapters are used in the home, and the DC sockets are the same but have different output voltages, if a user accidentally plugs a high-voltage adapter into a low-voltage appliance, it can easily damage the appliance, or even cause smoke and fire, increasing the fire hazard. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fire-proof and high-voltage protection circuit for DC sockets to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

The emitter of transistor Q1 is connected to the positive terminal of DC socket J1, the overvoltage detection module 10, the delay buffer module 20, and the source of MOSFET Q2. The base of transistor Q1 is connected to the overvoltage detection module 10. The delay buffer module 20 is connected to the overvoltage detection module 10, the collector of transistor Q1, and the gate of MOSFET Q2. The negative terminal of DC socket J1 is connected to the GND terminal, and the drain of MOSFET Q2 is connected to an external device.

[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the overvoltage detection module 10, the overvoltage detection module 10 includes resistors R1-R2, resistor R4, capacitor C1, and Zener diode DZ1. One end of resistor R1 is connected to the positive terminal of DC socket J1, the emitter of transistor Q1, the source of MOSFET Q2, and the delay buffer module 20. The other end of resistor R1 is connected to one end of resistor R2, one end of resistor R4, and one end of capacitor C1. The other end of resistor R4 is connected to the base of transistor Q1, and the other end of resistor R2... The Zener diode DZ1 is connected to the delay buffer module 20, capacitor C1, and GND terminal respectively. In a preferred embodiment of the delay buffer module 20, the delay buffer module 20 includes capacitor C2 and resistors R3-R4. One end of capacitor C2 is connected to the source of MOSFET Q2 and one end of resistor R3 respectively. The other end of capacitor C2 is connected to the collector of transistor Q1, the other end of resistor R3, one end of resistor R4, and the gate of MOSFET Q2 respectively. The other end of resistor R4 is connected to GND terminal.

[0020] Specifically, in some embodiments, the adapter voltage is set to 20V; when the AC plug of the adapter is inserted into a 220V outlet, the adapter already has a 20V voltage. When the DC output plug of the adapter is inserted into the DC socket J1, capacitor C2 will be charged through resistor R4. At the start of charging, the voltage across capacitor C2 is close to 0V, i.e., the voltage across MOSFET Q2 is close to 0V. GS =0V, MOSFET Q2 is cut off, therefore no sparking occurs when plugging or unplugging DC socket J1; when capacitor C2 is fully charged, the voltage is divided by resistors R3 and R4, and the V of MOSFET Q2 is... GS The voltage is 20-15=5V, because the V of MOSFET Q2 GS When the voltage is greater than 3V, the circuit is turned on. After the MOSFET Q2 is turned on, it charges capacitors C3, C4, and C5, and outputs PVCC to power external devices.

[0021] The voltage protection circuit principle of this utility model is as follows: Under normal circumstances, the input voltage is 20V, the Zener diode DZ1 is not conducting, and the voltage at point A is close to 20V. Transistor Q1 is cut off, and MOSFET Q2 is conducting. If the user accidentally uses a high-voltage adapter, the input voltage will exceed the set threshold. For example, if the adapter the user plugs in has a voltage of 22V, the voltage at point A will be 20V, and transistor Q1 will conduct. When transistor Q1 is conducting, the voltage across MOSFET Q2 will be... GS When the voltage is 0V, MOSFET Q2 is cut off, cutting off the circuit and protecting downstream devices. If the inserted voltage is the normal 20V, the voltage at DC IN point is the same as the voltage at point A, transistor Q1 is cut off, MOSFET Q2 is turned on, and external devices receive voltage and operate normally.

[0022] The advantages of this invention are as follows: the circuit described above can control the on / off state of the MOSFET by means of charging delay, which effectively reduces the risk of arc discharge generated during plug insertion and removal. Furthermore, it monitors the input voltage in real time and cuts off the circuit when the set threshold is exceeded, effectively protecting the downstream load from high voltage damage, improving the safety performance of the DC socket, and reducing the risk of fire and equipment damage.
