Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] This utility model embodiment provides a street light centralized controller with output short-circuit cutoff, including a centralized controller 1, exemplarily, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the centralized controller 1 includes a housing 6. The top of the housing 6 is an open structure, and a mounting base 7 is installed at the bottom of the housing 6. A set of connecting posts 8 are symmetrically installed on the top of the corresponding two side walls of the housing 6. A set of threaded holes 9 are opened at the end of each set of connecting posts 8 away from the housing 6. A cover 10 is provided on the top of the housing 6. The bottom of the cover 10 is an open structure. A first dustproof net 11 is provided inside the cover 10. The bottom of the first dustproof net 11 slides against the top of the housing 6. A set of through holes 16 are symmetrically opened on the bottom of the corresponding two side walls of the cover 10. Two sets of screws 12 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the cover 10. The output end of each set of screws 12 passes through the through hole 16 and is threaded into the threaded hole 9.

[0027] The enclosure 6 contains a shelf 13. The top of the shelf 13 has several sets of ventilation holes 14 arranged in a rectangular array. The top of the shelf 13 also houses a main control unit (MUC) 15, an AC-DC module 2, a communication module 3, a control module 4, and a temperature sensor 17. The enclosure 6 also contains a mounting plate 18 located below the shelf 13. Below the mounting plate 18, several sets of motors 19 are arranged in a rectangular array. The output of each set of motors 19 is... A set of fan blades 20 is connected to the drive after passing through the mounting plate 18. A wire hole 21 is opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the housing 6. A ventilation opening 22 is opened at the bottom of one side wall of the housing 6. A mounting box 23 is installed on the side wall of the housing 6 near the ventilation opening 22. The bottom of the mounting box 23 is set with an open structure. The ventilation opening 22 is connected to the mounting box 23. A second dustproof net 24 is set inside the mounting box 23. The bottom of the second dustproof net 24 is on the same straight line as the bottom of the mounting box 23.

[0028] Working principle: After rotating screw 12 to pull out through hole 16 and threaded hole 9, the box cover 10 moves up and moves the first dustproof net 11 away from the box body 6, so that the equipment on the top of the shelf 13 can be inspected and maintained. After rotating screw 12 through through hole 16, it is threaded into threaded hole 9, and the installation is completed. It is easy to install and disassemble, and is simple and quick.

[0029] The cabinet 6 is equipped with a shelf 13 and a mounting plate 18, and is equipped with components such as ventilation holes 14, motor 19 and fan blades 20 in the corresponding positions, which helps to form a good air circulation path, effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of internal electronic components, and extend their service life.

[0030] Temperature sensor 17 is used to monitor the internal operating temperature of the centralized controller 1. Combined with the control module 4, it can automatically adjust the speed of the fan blade 20 according to the actual situation to maintain a suitable operating temperature range, thereby ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0031] The open-structure enclosure 6 and enclosure cover 10, along with the design of the first dustproof net 11 and the second dustproof net 24, ensure good ventilation while preventing dust and rainwater from entering the enclosure 6 and protecting the internal circuitry from external environmental influences. Example 1:

[0032] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, based on the above-mentioned street light centralized controller 1 with output short-circuit cutoff, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a control method for the control system. Specifically, the control method includes:

[0033] The AC-DC module 2 includes an EMC circuit, a rectifier and filter circuit, a PWM control circuit, a transformer, a main voltage output Vo1, and an auxiliary voltage output Vo2. The main voltage output Vo1 is electrically connected to the communication module 3, and the auxiliary voltage output Vo2 is led out to a reserved DC interface to power the external expansion module. The communication module 3 is electrically connected to the control module 4.

[0034] When the circuit starts up, the main voltage output Vo1 winding is rectified by diode D1 and charges capacitor C1, causing the voltage to rise. However, due to the P-MOS transistor Q2, it does not conduct during startup, resulting in no voltage output.

[0035] Capacitor C2 is charged through diode D3 and resistor R1, and the voltage rises to Vo3. The voltage of Vo3 is approximately: RL / / (R4+R5) / [R1+RL / / (R4+R5)]. The voltage of Vo4 is approximately: Vo3*R5 / (R4+R5). The voltage of Vo4 is amplified by the operational amplifier U1, and Vo5=Vo4*(R6+R7) / R6.

[0036] As the capacitor charges, the voltage gradually increases. When the voltage Vo5 exceeds the base bias voltage of transistor Q3, transistor Q3 turns on, pulling resistor R3 to ground. Resistor R2 forms a voltage drop, driving P-MOS transistor Q2 to turn on. Voltage Vo2 charges capacitor C2, and voltage Vo3 increases until Vo3 = Vo2. Meanwhile, diode D3 has a voltage drop and is reverse-biased, not conducting.

[0037] When the external expansion module experiences a short circuit, capacitor C2 discharges, the voltage of Vo3 becomes 0V, the voltage of Vo4 also becomes 0V, the operational amplifier U1 outputs a low level, the transistor does not conduct, there is no voltage drop across resistor R2, Q2 is open, and the output is disconnected. At this time, the voltage of capacitor C1 remains normal at Vo2, without affecting other circuits of the entire centralized controller 1.

[0038] When the external expansion module is uncircuited, capacitor C2 is charged again through diode D3 and resistor R1, repeating the process when the circuit starts up. Example 2:

[0039] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, based on the aforementioned street light centralized controller 1 with output short-circuit cutoff, this embodiment proposes a control method for the control system. Specifically, the control method includes:

[0040] The AC-DC module 2 includes an EMC circuit, a rectifier and filter circuit, a PWM control circuit, a transformer, a main voltage output Vo1, and an auxiliary voltage output Vo2. The main voltage output Vo1 is electrically connected to the communication module 3, and the auxiliary voltage output Vo2 is led out to a reserved DC interface to power the external expansion module. The communication module 3 is electrically connected to the control module 4.

[0041] When the circuit starts, the transformer winding charges capacitor C1 after rectification by diode D1, and the voltage rises. Due to the P-MOS transistor Q2, Q2 does not conduct during startup, so there is no voltage output. Capacitor C2 is charged through diode D3 and resistor R1, and the voltage rises to Vo3. The voltage of Vo3 is approximately: RL / / (R4+R5) / [R1+RL / / (R4+R5)], and the voltage of Vo4 is approximately: Vo3*R5 / (R4+R5).

[0042] As the capacitor charges, the voltage gradually increases. When the voltage Vo4 exceeds the base bias voltage of transistor Q3, Q3 turns on, pulling resistor R3 to ground. Resistor R2 forms a voltage drop, driving MOSFET Q2 to turn on. Voltage Vo2 charges capacitor C2, and voltage Vo3 increases until Vo3 equals Vo2. Diode D3, however, has a voltage drop and is reverse-biased, not conducting.

[0043] When the external expansion module experiences a short circuit, capacitor C2 discharges, the voltage of Vo3 becomes 0V, the voltage of Vo4 also becomes 0V, the transistor does not conduct, there is no voltage drop across resistor R2, Q2 is open, and the output is disconnected. At this time, the voltage of capacitor C1 remains normally at Vo2, without affecting other circuits of the entire centralized controller 1.

[0044] When the external expansion module is uncircuited, capacitor C2 is charged again through diode D3 and resistor R1, repeating the process when the circuit starts up.

[0045] Beneficial effects: Once an abnormal short circuit is detected in the external expansion module, it can react quickly, cut off the relevant power supply lines, and automatically cut off the output voltage Vo2. By discharging through capacitor C2, the voltages of Vo3 and Vo4 drop to 0V, causing transistor Q3 to stop conducting, thereby turning off P-MOS transistor Q2. The circuit is simple, has a fast response speed, and effectively prevents damage to the entire circuit caused by short circuit current.

[0046] Once the external short circuit is removed, the circuit can automatically return to normal operation without manual intervention. The C2 capacitor is recharged and the circuit is reactivated according to the normal startup process, ensuring stability and reliability.

[0047] While handling the short circuit, the main voltage output Vo1 and its connected communication module 3 and other key components can still operate normally, ensuring that the overall function of the street light central controller 1 is not affected.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
