[0026] As Figures 1-3As shown, the low-cost and high-reliability relay sticking detection circuit provided by the embodiment includes a relay S1 contact and a relay S2 contact for controlling the on-off of the optocoupler OP1, the pin 1 of the optocoupler OP1 is electrically connected with a resistor R2 and a resistor R1, the resistor R2 is electrically connected with the relay S1 contact, the resistor R1 is electrically connected with the relay S2 contact, the pin 2 of the optocoupler OP1 is electrically connected with a resistor R3 and a resistor R4, the resistor R3 is electrically connected with the relay S1 contact, and the resistor R4 is electrically connected with the relay S2 contact. The circuit uses the relay S1 contact, the relay S2 contact, the resistor R2, the resistor R1, the resistor R3 and the resistor R4, which are electrically connected with the optocoupler OP1, and the change of the optocoupler OP1 can accurately determine the sticking contact position and the number of sticking contacts, which can effectively reduce the production cost and the failure rate, and has a good application effect in the batch application of the electric vehicle charging pile and a wide application prospect.
[0027] The output end of the resistor R2 is connected with a diode D2, the model of the diode D2 is IN5399, the output end of the diode D2 is electrically connected with the optocoupler OP1, the input end of the resistor R4 is electrically connected with a diode D3, the diode D3 is electrically connected with the optocoupler OP1, and the diode can convert alternating current AC into direct current DC. Specifically, when the positive half cycle of the alternating current passes through the diode, the diode is turned on, and the current can pass through; when the negative half cycle of the alternating current comes, the diode is cut off, and the current is blocked. In this way, the current after passing through the diode only has a positive direct current component, has a unidirectional conductivity, improves the safety of the circuit, and is connected in series with the resistor to stabilize the voltage in the circuit, prevent the voltage fluctuation from being too large, and improve the safety and stability of the circuit.
[0028] After the relay S2 contact is closed, the resistor R2, the diode D2, the optocoupler OP1, the diode D3 and the resistor R4 form a detection circuit of the relay S2 contact. After the relay S2 contact is closed, the current passes through the resistor R2, the diode D2, the optocoupler OP1, the diode D3, the resistor R4 and the relay S2 contact in sequence, and the change of the brightness of the optocoupler OP1 can detect whether the sticking occurs at the relay S2 contact, and the flexibility and the range of use are further improved.
[0029] Meanwhile, the output end of the resistor R1 is connected with the diode D1, the output end of the diode D1 is electrically connected with the pin 1 of the optocoupler OPl, the input end of the resistor R3 is electrically connected with the diode D4, the diode D4 is electrically connected with the pin 2 of the optocoupler OPl, after the relay S1 contact is closed, the resistor R1, the diode D1, the optocoupler OPl, the diode D4 and the resistor R3 form a detection loop of the relay S1 contact, after the relay S1 contact is closed, the current passes through the resistor R1, the diode D1, the optocoupler OPl, the diode D4, the resistor R3 and the relay S1 contact in turn, and the change of the brightness of the optocoupler OPl can detect whether the sticking occurs at the relay S1 contact;
[0030] Of course, if the relay S1 contact and the relay S2 contact are closed at the same time, two loops are formed at the same time, and multiple places are detected at the same time, so that the position of the sticking contact can be judged, and the range and flexibility of use are greatly improved.
[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the two ends of the relay S1 contact input the alternating current fire line L, and the detection current of the alternating current fire line L is 1.8 mA, the two ends of the relay S2 contact input the alternating current zero line N, and the detection current of the alternating current zero line N is 1.4 mA, the detection current of the optocoupler OPl is 1.8 mA, and the detection current of the alternating current zero line N is 1.4 mA, which ensures the safety of the circuit and improves the service life of the optocoupler OPl.
[0032] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the pin 4 of the optocoupler OPl is connected with +3.3V voltage for supplying power to the optocoupler OPl, and the pin 3 of the optocoupler OPl is electrically connected with a state feedback circuit, the state feedback circuit can reduce oscillation and improve the stability and response speed of the system by combining positive feedback and negative feedback.
[0033] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the principle of the low-cost and high-reliability relay sticking detection circuit provided by the embodiment is as follows:
[0034] The circuit uses the relay S1 contact, the relay S2 contact, the resistor R2, the resistor R1, the resistor R3 and the resistor R4, which are connected with the optocoupler OPl, and the change of the optocoupler OPl can accurately judge the position and the number of the sticking contacts, effectively reduce the production cost and the failure rate, and has a good effect in the batch application of the electric vehicle charging pile and a wide application prospect.
[0035] The diode can convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Specifically, when the positive half cycle of the alternating current passes through the diode, the diode is turned on, and the current can pass through; when the negative half cycle of the alternating current comes, the diode is turned off, and the current is blocked. In this way, the current after passing through the diode only has a positive direct current component, has a unidirectional conductivity, improves the safety of the circuit, and can stabilize the voltage in the circuit when connected in series with the resistor, prevents the voltage from fluctuating too much, and improves the safety and stability of the circuit.
[0036] After the relay S2 contact is closed, the resistance R2, the diode D2, the optocoupler OP1, the diode D3, and the resistance R4 form a detection loop of the relay S2 contact. After the relay S2 contact is closed, the current passes through the resistance R2, the diode D2, the optocoupler OP1, the diode D3, the resistance R4, and the relay S2 contact in turn. The brightness change of the optocoupler OP1 can detect whether the relay S2 contact is stuck, and the flexibility and range of use are further improved.
[0037] After the relay S1 contact is closed, the current passes through the resistance R1, the diode D1, the optocoupler OP1, the diode D4, the resistance R3, and the relay S1 contact in turn. The brightness change of the optocoupler OP1 can detect whether the relay S1 contact is stuck.
[0038] Of course, if the relay S1 contact and the relay S2 contact are closed at the same time, two loops will be formed at the same time, and multiple places will be detected at the same time to determine the position of the stuck contact, greatly improving the range and flexibility of use.
