Description

Technical Field

[0002] Existing switching power supplies typically use a single rectifier circuit on the secondary side to convert AC to DC. However, this design has some limitations in high-voltage output applications. First, the rectifier diodes in a single rectifier circuit need to withstand high reverse voltages, which limits diode selection and increases cost. Second, single rectifier circuits have poor electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance and are prone to electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, when the load is light, the output voltage is prone to fluctuations, affecting the stability of the power supply.

[0003] To address these issues, some technologies attempt to improve EMC performance and stability by adding extra filtering components or using more complex circuit designs. However, these methods often increase circuit complexity and cost, and may not achieve the desired results in practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0034] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides a secondary-side overlapped multi-group series rectifier output circuit for a switching power supply, comprising:

[0035] Transformer T2, and at least three rectifier circuits 100 electrically connected to transformer T2 in series;

[0036] Each rectifier circuit 100 includes a rectifier diode 101, an RC snubber circuit 102, a capacitor filter circuit 103, and a dummy load circuit 104; the output rectifier diodes are multiple diodes connected in series, and the voltage rating of each rectifier diode can be a common material available on the market.

[0037] The transformer T2 has at least three secondary windings, and the number of secondary windings can be set to 3-10. The corresponding rectifier circuit 100 can also be set to 3-10 groups.

[0038] The corresponding terminals of the rectifier diode 101 are electrically connected to the corresponding terminals of the secondary winding of the transformer T2, the RC absorption circuit 102, the capacitor filter circuit 103, and the dummy load circuit 104, respectively.

[0039] Among them, rectifier diode 101 is used to convert the AC power on the secondary winding side of transformer T2 into DC power; RC snubber circuit 102 is used to absorb the reverse voltage spike of rectifier diode 101; capacitor filter circuit 103 is used to smooth the output voltage; dummy load circuit 104 is used to stabilize the output voltage under low load conditions.

[0040] Furthermore, the RC absorption circuit 102 includes a first resistor and a first capacitor (C15 and R57, or C14 and R62, or C32 and R64). The first terminal of the rectifier diode 101 is electrically connected to the first winding of the transformer and the first terminal of the first capacitor, respectively. The second terminal of the rectifier diode is electrically connected to the corresponding terminals of the second winding of the transformer, the first resistor, the capacitor filter circuit 103, and the dummy load circuit 104, respectively. The second terminal of the capacitor is electrically connected to the second terminal of the resistor. In this embodiment, the first capacitor absorbs the voltage spike generated by the rectifier diode (101) during reverse recovery. The first resistor is used to limit the current and prevent excessive current from flowing into the rectifier diode, thereby protecting the diode from damage. By absorbing the voltage spike, the RC absorption circuit 102 effectively protects the rectifier diode from high voltage surges and extends the diode's service life. The reduction of voltage spikes means a reduction in electromagnetic interference generated by the circuit, which helps to meet electromagnetic compatibility standards and reduce interference to other electronic devices. The combined effect of current limiting and voltage spike absorption improves the stability and quality of the power supply output and reduces voltage and current fluctuations.

[0041] Furthermore, the capacitor filter circuit 103 includes a second capacitor; the second terminal of the rectifier diode is electrically connected to the corresponding terminal of the second capacitor; the capacitor filter circuit is used to smooth the rectified DC voltage, reduce voltage ripple and fluctuations. By reducing the ripple of the output voltage, the capacitor filter circuit helps to improve the power quality and provide a more stable DC power supply to the load. The smoothed voltage after filtering helps to improve the circuit's response speed to load changes and ensures the stability of the voltage when the load changes.

[0042] Furthermore, the dummy load circuit 104 includes a second resistor and a third resistor connected in series; the second terminal of the rectifier diode is electrically connected to the corresponding terminals of the second and third resistors connected in series. The dummy load circuit 104 protects subsequent circuits and components by stabilizing the output voltage, preventing damage caused by excessive voltage; by maintaining a stable output voltage, the dummy load circuit improves the reliability of the power supply, ensuring that the power supply can operate normally under various load conditions.

[0043] Furthermore, the secondary superimposed multi-group series rectifier output circuit of the switching power supply also includes a filter load circuit 200; the corresponding terminals of the filter load circuit 200 are electrically connected to the second terminals of the rectifier diode 101; the filter load circuit 200 includes a capacitor C30, resistors R58, R59, R60, R61, and a conjugate inductor LF4; the second terminals of the rectifier diode 101 are electrically connected to the first terminals of capacitor C30, resistors R60 and R61, and the first corresponding terminals of the conjugate inductor LF4; the second terminals of capacitor C30 are electrically connected to the first terminals of resistors R58 and R59, and the second corresponding terminals of inductor LF4; the second terminals of resistors R58 and R58 are electrically connected to the second terminals of resistors R60, R61, and R59. In this embodiment, the filter load circuit, through the combination of inductor LF4 and capacitor C30, is used to further smooth the current, reduce current ripple, and thus improve the stability of the power supply. The design of a filter load circuit helps reduce electromagnetic interference and improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the circuit. By integrating a filter load circuit into the secondary superimposed multi-group series rectifier output circuit of a switching power supply, the current and voltage stability of the power supply can be significantly improved, electromagnetic interference can be reduced, and the adaptability and reliability of the power supply can be enhanced, thereby meeting the stringent requirements of modern electronic equipment for power supply stability and quality.
