BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is the whole circuit structure schematic diagram of the utility model system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0014] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, see Figure 1 , through triode Q1, Q2, resistance R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, operational amplifier U1, comparator U2, relay RL1, diode D1, overcurrent protection function is realized.

[0015] Resistance R8 and load motor window are in series, and the current is equal, which is a sampling resistance; resistance R6 is the input end current limiting resistance of amplifier U1; by adjusting the resistance value of R9 and R10, the amplifier U1 can be set to an appropriate amplification factor; the function of amplifier U1 is to amplify the voltage collected at the load end; by adjusting the resistance value of R2 and R3, the comparison voltage of comparator U2 can be set; resistance R5 is a pull-up resistor; resistance R7 is the current limiting resistance of the base of triode Q2; diode D1 is a freewheeling diode of the relay coil. When the current of the load motor window is too large, the comparator U2 outputs a high level, and the triode Q2 is turned on. After Q2 is turned on, the PNP triode Q1 is provided with a conduction condition, and after Q1 is turned on, the current flows through the coil of relay RL1, and the relay is attracted. At this time, the power supply of the motor window is cut off. Since the current flows through Q1 and resistance R4 to the base of Q2 to form a self-locking, even if the comparator outputs a low level, the relay still remains attracted, and the motor window has no power supply. The utility model is mainly used for detecting the load current of the motor window of the automobile to cut off the power supply, so as to achieve the function of protecting the load.

[0016] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
