[0031] To fully understand this utility model, detailed structures and steps will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution proposed by this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0032] In one embodiment, an energy meter compatible with both three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire wiring is provided, comprising: a power compatibility circuit, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the power compatibility circuit includes: a primary-side power supply circuit 1, a high-frequency transformer 2, a communication power supply circuit 3, and a metering power supply circuit 4. The input terminal of the primary-side power supply circuit 1 is connected to the power grid, the output terminal of the primary-side power supply circuit 1 is connected to the input terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2, the first output terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2 is connected to the input terminal of the communication power supply circuit 3, the second output terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2 is connected to the input terminal of the metering power supply circuit 4, the output terminal of the communication power supply circuit 3 is used to power the communication module, and the output terminal of the metering power supply circuit 4 is used to power the metering module.

[0033] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, the A-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit 1 is connected to the A-phase wire L1 of the power grid, the B-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit 1 is connected to the B-phase wire L2 of the power grid, and the C-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit 1 is connected to the C-phase wire L3 of the power grid. In a three-phase three-wire connection, the N-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit 1 is not connected to the power grid; in a three-phase four-wire connection, the N-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit 1 is connected to the N-phase wire of the power grid.

[0034] Among them, the terminals of the primary power supply circuit 1 are voltage terminals, and the output terminal of the communication power supply circuit 3 outputs a voltage of about 12V to power the external communication module.

[0035] The working process of the above-mentioned electricity meter is as follows:

[0036] When a three-phase three-wire connection is made, the A, B, and C phase terminals of the primary power supply circuit receive voltage signals from the A, B, and C phase wires of the power grid, respectively.

[0037] In a three-phase four-wire connection, the A, B, C, and N phase terminals of the primary power supply circuit receive voltage signals from the A, B, C, and N phase wires of the power grid, respectively.

[0038] The received voltage signal is processed by the primary power supply circuit and transmitted to the high-frequency transformer. After energy conversion by the high-frequency transformer, it is output to the communication power supply circuit through the first output terminal to power the external communication module, and then output to the metering power supply circuit through the second output terminal to power the metering module.

[0039] In this embodiment, the input terminal of the primary power supply circuit is connected to the power grid wire. In the case of three-phase three-wire connection, the N-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit is not connected to the power grid. In the case of three-phase four-wire connection, the N-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit is connected to the N-phase power grid wire. This enables the same energy meter to be compatible with both three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire connections. The power grid signal input to the primary power supply circuit is integrated through the primary power supply circuit, which is compatible with different voltage inputs under both three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire connections. This improves the applicability of the energy meter in different power supply systems, reduces the types of energy metering equipment in the power system, simplifies the installation and maintenance process, and reduces costs.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the primary power supply circuit 1 includes: a first switching switch RT1 and a second switching switch RT5. One end of the first switching switch RT1 is connected to the B-phase terminal, and the other end of the first switching switch RT1 is connected to the C-phase terminal. One end of the second switching switch RT5 is connected to the B-phase terminal, and the other end of the second switching switch RT5 is connected to the N-phase terminal. The first switching switch RT5 is used to close when switching from three-phase four-wire to three-phase three-wire, and the second switching switch RT5 is also used to close when switching from three-phase four-wire to three-phase three-wire.

[0041] When the first and second switching switches are open, the three-phase three-wire connection is the type of three-phase three-wire connection mentioned in the previous embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the N-phase terminal of the primary power supply circuit is not connected to the power grid; when the first and second switching switches are closed, it is another three-phase three-wire connection mentioned in this embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0042] In this embodiment, by opening and closing the first switching switch, the energy meter can be compatible with three types of wiring, including three-phase four-wire wiring and two types of three-phase three-wire wiring, to adapt to different power systems. This avoids inaccurate metering or damage to the energy meter caused by wiring errors. The wiring switching can be completed using only one energy meter without replacement, saving costs.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the primary-side power supply circuit 1 further includes: an AC signal conditioning circuit 101, a rectifier circuit 102, a protection circuit 103, a DC signal conditioning circuit 104, and a switching power supply integrated module U11. The input terminal of the AC signal conditioning circuit 101 is connected to the power grid, the output terminal of the AC signal conditioning circuit 101 is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier circuit 102, the output terminal of the rectifier circuit 102 is connected to the input terminal of the protection circuit 103, the output terminal of the protection circuit 103 is connected to the input terminal of the DC signal conditioning circuit 104, and the output terminal of the DC signal conditioning circuit 104 is connected to the input terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2.

[0044] The DC signal conditioning circuit 102 is equipped with a voltage divider M1. The input terminal of the voltage divider M1 is connected to the input terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2, and the output terminal of the voltage divider M1 is connected to the control terminal SW of the switching power supply integrated module U11.

[0045] Among them, the switching power supply integrated module U11 adopts the 8234T series, which realizes efficient conversion of electrical energy through high-frequency switching action. The rectifier circuit 102 includes 16 rectifier diodes from D19 to D34.

[0046] The operation of the primary-side power supply circuit described above is as follows:

[0047] The input terminal of the AC signal conditioning circuit receives the grid voltage signal. After processing by the AC signal conditioning circuit, it is output to the rectifier circuit. The rectifier circuit rectifies the three-phase AC voltage into DC pulsating voltage, and then outputs it to the protection circuit. After processing by the protection circuit, it outputs it to the DC signal conditioning circuit. After further conditioning by the DC signal conditioning circuit, it outputs it to the high-frequency transformer.

[0048] In this embodiment, the AC signal conditioning circuit handles surge voltage and current impacts from the power grid, as well as conducted and radiated interference voltages generated by the switching power supply integrated module. It also prevents external electromagnetic interference from affecting the normal operation of the circuit. This not only protects the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter from voltage and current impacts and improves the service life of the energy meter, but also makes the signal output by the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter more reliable.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the voltage divider M1 is a MOS switch. The DC signal conditioning circuit 104 further includes a voltage divider branch 1041, a first voltage regulator branch 1042, a second voltage regulator branch 1043, and a primary-side absorption branch 1044. One end of the voltage divider branch 1041 is connected to the first power supply terminal HVIN. The other end of the voltage divider branch 1041 is connected to the input terminal of the first voltage regulator branch 1042, the output terminal of the second voltage regulator branch 1043, and the controlled terminal of the MOS switch M1. The output terminal of the first voltage regulator branch 1042 is grounded to GND1. The input terminal of the second voltage regulator branch 1043 is connected to the output terminal of the MOS switch M1 and the control terminal SW of the switching power supply integrated module U11. The input terminal of the primary-side absorption branch 1044 is connected to the first power supply terminal HVIN. The output terminal of the primary-side absorption branch 1044 is connected to the input terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2.

[0050] Among them, the MOS switch M1 remains on when the circuit is working, is connected to the control terminal SW of the switching power supply integrated module U11, and is connected in series with the MOS transistor inside the switching power supply integrated module U11 to share the surge voltage and VDS voltage; the primary side absorption branch 1044 improves the voltage and current of the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter during turn-on and turn-off, reducing fluctuations and impacts.

[0051] The operation of the DC signal conditioning circuit described above is as follows:

[0052] The voltage divider branch and the primary-side absorption branch process the output signal of the protection circuit. After voltage division and filtering, the signal is output to the high-frequency transformer, then to the switching transistor, and finally to the switching power supply integrated module after voltage division by the switching transistor.

[0053] In this embodiment, the switching transistor is connected in series with the MOSFET inside the switching power supply integrated module, which improves the withstand voltage of the MOSFET inside the switching power supply integrated module, thereby increasing the withstand voltage range of the power supply compatibility circuit in the entire energy meter and enabling wide voltage input under different wiring methods of three-phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a feedback circuit 5, which includes an optocoupler module 501, a first voltage regulation feedback module 502, and a second voltage regulation feedback module 503. The input terminal of the first voltage regulation feedback module 502 is connected to the first output terminal of the high-frequency transformer 2, the output terminal of the first voltage regulation feedback module 502 is connected to the input terminal of the optocoupler module 501, the output terminal of the optocoupler module 501 is connected to the input terminal of the second voltage regulation feedback module 503, and the input terminal of the second voltage regulation feedback module 503 is connected to the power supply terminal of the switching power supply integrated module U11.

[0055] The feedback circuit 5 monitors the voltage of the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter in real time. When the voltage deviates from the set value, it adjusts the circuit to quickly restore the set voltage value, so that the energy meter can maintain normal operation even when the external environment changes.

[0056] In this embodiment, the voltage regulation feedback circuit enables the circuit to quickly restore the set voltage value, improving the efficiency of the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter. By setting the voltage regulation feedback circuit to monitor the voltage in real time, circuit failures caused by abnormal voltage are avoided, thus improving the reliability of the energy meter.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the AC signal conditioning circuit 101 includes a varistor module 1011 and a filter module 1012. The input terminal of the varistor module 1011 is connected to the power grid, the output terminal of the varistor module 1011 is connected to the input terminal of the filter module 1012, and the output terminal of the filter module 1012 is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier circuit 102.

[0058] The varistor module 1011 contains three varistors, V1, V2, and V3. The voltage terminals of the power grid pass through the three varistors in the varistor module 1011 to suppress and discharge the surge voltage and current impact of the power grid, and then output to the filter module 1012. The filter module 1012 includes three filter inductors, L3, L4, and L5, and three filter capacitors, C147, C129, and C130, to filter out the conducted and radiated interference voltage generated inside the switching power supply integrated module U11 in the power compatibility circuit of the energy meter and external electromagnetic interference.

[0059] In this embodiment, a varistor module and a filter module are set in the AC signal conditioning circuit to process the voltage signal of the power grid, thereby protecting the power compatibility circuit in the energy meter and ensuring the safe operation and accurate measurement of the energy meter.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the noise signal filtering branch includes: capacitor C137, common-mode inductor L8, and differential-mode inductor L2. The balanced voltage divider branch includes: a first balanced voltage divider branch 1031 and a second balanced voltage divider branch 1032.

One end of capacitor C137 is connected to the output terminal of rectifier circuit 102 and the first input terminal of common-mode inductor L8. The other end of capacitor C137 is connected to the output terminal of rectifier circuit 102 and the second input terminal of common-mode inductor L8. The first output terminal of common-mode inductor L8... One end of the differential-mode inductor L2 is connected, and the second output terminal of the common-mode inductor L8 is connected to one end of the second balanced voltage divider branch 1032 and ground GND1. The other end of the differential-mode inductor L2 is connected to one end of the first balanced voltage divider branch 1031, one end of the second filter capacitor C119, and the first power supply terminal HVIN.
