[0022] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A dual optocoupler protection circuit includes a chip U1, an optocoupler U2, and an optocoupler U3. The circuit is characterized in that: the FB terminal of chip U1 is connected to pin 4 of optocoupler U2 and pin 4 of optocoupler U3; pin 3 of optocoupler U2 is connected to pin 3 of optocoupler U3; pin 2 of optocoupler U2 is connected to pin 1 of optocoupler U3; pin 1 of optocoupler U2 is connected to resistors R121 and R98, resistor R121 is connected to Zener diode ZD6, Zener diode ZD6 is connected to resistor R120; and resistor R98 is connected to pin 2 of optocoupler U2 and pin 1 of optocoupler U3.

[0027] Pin 2 of chip U1 is connected to capacitor C19, and capacitor C19 is connected to pin 3 of optocoupler U2 and pin 3 of optocoupler U3.

[0028] Resistor R120 is connected to resistor R96, resistor R96 is connected to Zener diode ZD5, Zener diode ZD5 is connected to resistor R97, and resistor R97 is connected to resistor R98.

[0029] Resistor R98 is connected to resistor R122, and resistor R122 is connected to pin 2 of optocoupler U2 and pin 1 of optocoupler U3.

[0030] Pin 2 of optocoupler U3 is connected to Zener diode ZD7 and capacitor C28.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0032] The chip U1 is model CR6855, the optocouplers U2 and U3 are both model EL817, the capacitor C19 is 100pF / 50V, and the resistor R98 is 3KΩ.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] This circuit uses a dual optocoupler control circuit. When pins 3 and 4 of optocoupler U2 are short-circuited, chip U1 can protect the power supply through FB feedback and control the primary MOS to turn off. The power supply has no output and will not cause other damage.

[0035] When pins 3 and 4 of optocoupler U2 are short-circuited, optocoupler U3 can still feed back to FB normally, thus not affecting the normal operation of the power supply.

[0036] When pins 1 and 2 are short-circuited, the feedback of pins 3 and 4 of optocoupler U2 fails, but the feedback can be provided normally through optocoupler U3.

[0037] When optocoupler U2 is open-circuited, the feedback from pins 3 and 4 of optocoupler fails, but feedback can still be provided normally through optocoupler U3. Power can be supplied to optocoupler U3 normally through resistor R98. Similarly, when U3 fails, U2 can work normally. This effectively avoids damage to the power supply itself or other equipment and instruments, as well as safety accidents, caused by the failure of a single component.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
