The voltage power supply circuit supplies power to the heater control device. The signal isolation circuit isolates the signals between the voltage power supply circuit, the voltage signal isolation circuit, the voltage relay control amplification circuit, the voltage fan drive circuit, the voltage serial port transceiver circuit, and the voltage temperature over-temperature alarm circuit to prevent electrical interference. The interface line connects the heater control device to external devices. The relay control amplification circuit amplifies the control signal to drive the relay to perform switching operations, controlling the start, stop, and speed of the heater. The fan drive circuit adjusts the fan's operating state according to the control signal to control the heater, enabling real-time data transmission and remote control. The temperature over-temperature alarm circuit triggers an alarm upon detecting an abnormally high temperature, reminding the user to handle the situation promptly and prevent the fault from escalating. In specific implementations, the microcontroller can be, but is not limited to, an N32G030C8L7. In this embodiment, the microcontroller is selected as an N32G030C8L7.
[0025] The voltage supply circuit includes a mains-to-DC 24V power supply circuit, a 24V-to-3.3V power supply circuit, and a 24V energy storage power supply circuit. In practice, the voltage supply circuit transforms the mains power to provide power to the microcontroller, signal isolation circuit, interface lines, relay control amplifier circuit, fan drive circuit, and over-temperature alarm circuit. The voltage supply circuit provides stable and reliable power, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the entire system.
[0026] The signal isolation circuit includes a dual-channel high-speed opto-isolator U3, where the positive terminal of the LED is connected to one end of resistor R5; a dual-channel high-speed opto-isolator U4, where the positive terminal of the LED is connected to one end of resistor R21; and a dual-channel high-speed opto-isolator U6, where the positive terminal of the LED is connected to one end of resistor R19. In a specific implementation, the dual-channel high-speed opto-isolator U4 can be an EL357N. By isolating signals between different circuits, the signal isolation circuit effectively prevents electrical interference, ensuring signal purity and accuracy.
[0027] An opto-isolator is a device used to isolate electrical signals. It provides electrical isolation between input and output signals to protect controlled equipment and improve system stability and reliability. Opto-isolators are characterized by high-speed response, high isolation voltage, low power consumption, and small size.
[0028] The EL357N is a dual-channel high-speed opto-isolator composed of a photodiode and a phototransistor. A photodiode converts light energy into electrical energy, while a phototransistor converts light energy into current. The EL357N works by having the photodiode emit a light signal, which is then received by the phototransistor and converted into a current signal, thus isolating the input and output signals.
[0029] The EL357N operates as follows: Input signal isolation: When an input signal is applied to the input terminal of the EL357N, the input photodiode is excited, emitting a light signal of a certain intensity. Light signal transmission: The light signal propagates within the optocoupler through the optical coupling medium, which is typically a light-transparent organic material. Light signal detection: When the light signal reaches the output phototransistor, the phototransistor is excited, generating a corresponding current signal. Output signal isolation: The output signal is transmitted to the output terminal through the current signal of the phototransistor, achieving electrical isolation between the input and output signals.
[0030] The relay-controlled amplifier circuit includes: one end of relay K1A is connected to the collector of transistor Q2; the emitter of transistor Q2 is connected to one end of resistor R19 and grounded; and the base of transistor Q2 is connected to the other end of resistor R19 and one end of resistor R4. The relay's function is to control the circuit's on / off state. Relays can quickly and accurately connect or disconnect circuits according to changes in external signals, achieving automated circuit control. This allows the circuit system to respond to changes in the external environment and improves operating efficiency. The amplifier's function is to amplify signals. In a circuit system, signals may weaken due to transmission distance, equipment losses, etc. In this case, the amplifier can amplify the weak signal, allowing it to be transmitted smoothly in the circuit. This is crucial for maintaining signal stability and accuracy. Resistors in the circuit play a role in limiting current, dividing voltage, and stabilizing the circuit. Resistors can precisely control the current magnitude, preventing damage to the circuit due to excessive current. Simultaneously, resistors can also perform voltage division, distributing voltage to each circuit in a certain proportion, ensuring that each circuit receives a stable operating voltage. The relay control amplifier circuit is responsible for amplifying the weak control signal, thereby driving the relay to perform switching operations and control the start-up, shutdown, and rotation speed of the heater.
[0031] The over-temperature alarm circuit includes: one end of relay K3A is connected to the collector of transistor Q3; the emitter of transistor Q3 is connected to one end of resistor R11 and grounded; and the base of transistor Q3 is connected to one end of resistor R6 and the other end of resistor R11. The relay is activated by the voltage and current input of the intercom unit. When the temperature is abnormal, the CPU sends a high level to PC13, activating the relay and thus achieving the alarm purpose.
[0032] In practical implementation, the heater control device of this utility model also includes an air outlet located around the heating tube. The heater control device also incorporates a temperature sensor. A temperature sensing chip is used to detect the ambient temperature. When the heater is running, the fan automatically turns on; when the heater turns off, the fan determines whether to delay shutting down based on the running time; when the heater is on, the sensor can also detect the ambient temperature to control the fan's rotation speed; the higher the temperature, the faster the fan rotates, and vice versa.
[0033] This utility model's heater control device achieves heater control by adding a fan, heating element, and a device with an air outlet that can be installed inside the heater to the circuit control board. Pressing the manual button starts the heater, and the fan automatically turns on.
