[0016] Figure 2 This is the overall circuit diagram of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an overcurrent detection circuit, including a transformer, a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit, a control module, and an on / off control module. The transformer is a CT2 type transformer, and the control module uses an AVP32F335-176 chip. Pins 1 and 2 of the primary side of the transformer are connected in series with the circuit under test. A resistor R1 is connected between pin 2 of the transformer and the circuit under test, and the resistor R1 provides current limiting protection for the transformer. The resistor is an EWWR0010J10R0T9 type resistor. Pins 3 and 4 of the secondary side of the transformer are connected to the input terminal of the rectifier circuit. The transformer obtains the current signal of the circuit under test, and the rectifier circuit converts the current signal into a voltage signal. The output terminal of the rectifier circuit is connected to the input terminal of the filter circuit, and the output terminal of the filter circuit is connected to the input terminal of the control module. The filter circuit filters the converted voltage signal. The signal is then transmitted to the control module. The output of the control module is connected to the input of the on / off control module, and the output of the on / off control module is connected to pin 1 on the primary side of the transformer. The control module obtains the voltage at the output of the filter circuit and sends a signal to the on / off control module. The on / off control module controls the on / off state of the transformer. Specifically, by setting a voltage threshold, when the detected voltage signal exceeds the voltage threshold and the voltage IFB output by the rectifier circuit also reaches the protection value, the control module sends a protection signal to the on / off control module to control the transformer to turn off the current detection of the circuit under test. In other words, by connecting the transformer to the power supply under test, the current signal is converted into a voltage signal and transmitted to the control module in cooperation with the rectifier circuit and the filter circuit. This achieves complete electrical isolation, effectively preventing interference from strong electrical signals to weak electrical signals, improving the safety and reliability of the system, simplifying the signal conversion circuit, and enhancing the performance and reliability of the current detection and protection system.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the rectifier circuit includes diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4, and resistor R2. Diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4 are all LBAT54SLT1G type diodes. Pin 3 of the transformer is connected to both the anode of diode D1 and the cathode of diode D3. Pin 4 of the transformer is connected to both the anode of diode D2 and the cathode of diode D4. The anode of diode D3 is connected to both the anode of diode D4 and one end of resistor R2. The cathode of diode D1 is connected to both the cathode of diode D2 and the other end of resistor R2. The other end of resistor R2 is connected to the input terminal of the filter circuit. Thus, with the cooperation of diodes D1, D2, D3, D4, and resistor R2, the current signal acquired by the transformer is converted into a voltage signal IFB.

[0019] In a further embodiment, the filter sub-circuit includes a resistor R3 and a capacitor C1.
