[0038] This invention utilizes a vibration-resistant redundant power supply circuit and a multi-stage coordinated control valve 3 to provide continuous and stable power in a vibration environment. Its working principle is as follows:
[0039] The 220V AC input is stepped down to 30V by a power frequency transformer, then sequentially passes through a common-mode inductor to suppress common-mode noise, a rectifier bridge GBJ2510 to convert it to pulsating DC, and a composite filter network consisting of a 470μF electrolytic capacitor and a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to filter out high and low frequency interference. The purified DC input is then fed into a switching regulator LM2596-ADJ, which stabilizes the voltage to 24V through internal PWM control and an external 68μH energy storage inductor. Simultaneously, the voltage is charged to a series supercapacitor via a 1Ω current-limiting resistor and a charging diode SS34 to store energy. When the main power supply is normal... The 24V output directly powers the load via an OR gate diode circuit, while the adjustable Zener diode TL431 monitors the output voltage in real time through a voltage divider resistor network. When vibration causes poor contact of the main power supply and the voltage drops below the 22V threshold, the cathode of the adjustable Zener diode TL431 conducts and drives the gate of the MOSFET, causing the supercapacitor bank to discharge to the load through the diode OR gate circuit. The switching process is short and the output voltage fluctuation is small. The dual power supply achieves physical isolation through the diode OR gate circuit to avoid reverse current interference. At the same time, a self-resetting fuse is connected in series at the output terminal to form dual protection against overcurrent and overvoltage.
[0040] Through supercapacitor energy storage and hardware-level rapid switching, it can maintain continuous power supply after the main power supply is interrupted, completely covering the instantaneous power outage caused by vibration. At the same time, it adopts multiple EMI suppressions of common mode inductor, capacitor and two-stage filtering to effectively avoid the malfunction of regulating valve 3 due to power supply noise.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
