[0028] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail.
[0030] The voltage-adjustable power supply disclosed in this embodiment includes the following components: input module 11, rectifier module 2, filter module 3, adjustable voltage regulator module 4, and control module 5. Based on the complete voltage-adjustable power supply structure 9, this embodiment also provides an AC power supply 6, external power devices 7, and a host computer 8. (See attached...) Figure 1 As shown.
[0031] Input module 1 includes an input interface 11 and a transformer 12; the input interface 11 is connected to the mains power supply 6; the input terminal of the transformer 12 is connected to the input interface 11, and the transformer 12 converts the mains voltage into a lower AC voltage; the output terminal of the transformer 12 is the output terminal of input module 1.

[0034] The input terminal of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 is connected to the output terminal of the filter module 3; the output terminal of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 is connected to the external electrical equipment 7.
[0035] The input terminal of the control module 5 is connected to the external host computer 8 to receive instructions from the host computer 8; the output terminal of the control module 5 is connected to the control terminal of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 to control the output voltage of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4.

[0037] The working principle of the voltage adjustable power supply disclosed in this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] Step S1, Mains Input and Preprocessing: Mains power (220V AC) is connected to an input filter capacitor (e.g., a 3300μF / 35V electrolytic capacitor) through input interface 11 to filter out high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference from the power grid. The high-voltage AC power is then stepped down to a low-voltage AC power (28V AC) suitable for subsequent processing via transformer 12. Transformer 12 also provides electrical isolation between the input and output, enhancing safety.
[0039] In step S2, the 28V AC voltage output by transformer 12 is converted into DC voltage by rectifier module 2.
[0040] In step S3, the DC voltage output from rectifier module 2 enters filter module 3 to filter out high-frequency noise, and then enters adjustable voltage regulator module 4. Adjustable voltage regulator module 4 outputs the regulated voltage. Control module 5 receives and parses the target voltage data (the regulated voltage value output by adjustable voltage regulator module 4) sent by host computer 8, and then sends it to the adjustable voltage regulator module to control the regulated voltage value output by adjustable voltage regulator module 4.
[0041] In step S4, the voltage output by the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 is fed into the external electrical equipment 7.
[0042] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Based on the FPGA chip, the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 and control module 5 are developed. Utilizing the high-speed parallel processing characteristics of the FPGA, no additional ADC / DAC module is needed, avoiding the introduction of microsecond-level delays, significantly improving communication speed, and achieving nanosecond-level response, which can meet the rapid response requirements of precision loads. The transformer 12 in the input module 1 provides electrical isolation, enhancing safety; the filter module 3 effectively filters out high-frequency noise, improving power supply stability.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Through the synergistic effect of the instruction parsing submodule 51 and the target voltage-RP resistance mapping submodule 52, the intelligence and ease of use of the voltage-adjustable power supply are significantly improved: the user only needs to input the target voltage value on the host computer 8, and the control module 5 can automatically complete the instruction parsing and parameter mapping, eliminating the need for manual configuration of complex parameters and greatly reducing the operational threshold. The dual modules are integrated inside the FPGA chip to form a pure hardware circuit, with data processing speeds reaching nanosecond levels, achieving real-time and precise control of the output voltage, avoiding the millisecond-level delay of traditional software algorithms, and are particularly suitable for the dynamic voltage requirements of precision instruments. The automatic mapping mechanism eliminates the errors that may be caused by manual parameter conversion, and combined with the high reliability of the FPGA, it can operate stably in industrial environments for a long time. This "input-as-you-go" intelligent control mode enables the power supply system to maintain high precision while significantly improving ease of use and system response speed.
[0047] Furthermore, the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 includes capacitor C1, capacitor C2, resistor R1, resistor R2, resistor R3, resistor R4, resistor R5, electronic variable resistor RP, transistor V1, transistor V2, and transistor V3; transistors V1 and V2 are NPN type transistors, and transistor V3 is a PNP type transistor.
[0048] As attached Figure 2 As shown.

Connected to control module 5; the control terminal and input terminal of electronic variable resistor RP are both control terminals of adjustable voltage regulator module 4; the base of transistor V1 is connected in series with resistors R4 and R5 to the collector of transistor V2; the base of transistor V2 is connected to the connection point between resistors R2 and R3; the emitter of transistor V2 is grounded; the emitter of transistor V3 is connected to the base of transistor V1; the base of transistor V3 is connected to the connection point between resistors R4 and R5; the collector of transistor V3 is grounded; one end of capacitor C2 is connected to the emitter of transistor V1; the other end of capacitor C2 is grounded; at the same time, capacitor C2 is connected in parallel to the output terminal of adjustable voltage regulator module 4.
[0050] Among them, the electronic variable resistor RP uses the AD5272 chip; the A terminal of the AD5272 chip is the input terminal of the electronic variable resistor RP; the W terminal of the AD5272 chip is the control terminal of the electronic variable resistor.
[0051] The components selected in this embodiment are as follows: the input voltage of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4 is DC28V. The electronic variable resistor RP is a version with a total resistance of 200KΩ, capacitor C1 is a 3300µF electrolytic capacitor, and capacitor C2 is a 470µF electrolytic capacitor. Resistor R1 has a resistance of 200Ω, and resistors R2, R3, R4, and R5 have resistances of 10KΩ.
[0052] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The voltage filtered by capacitor C1 is supplied to the base of transistor V1 by resistor R1, turning on transistor V1. When transistor V1 is on, the voltage passes through the electronic variable resistor RP and resistor R2, turning on transistor V2. Then transistor V3 also turns on. At this time, the emitter and collector voltages of transistors V1, V2, and V3 no longer change. Adjusting the electronic variable resistor RP can obtain a stable output voltage. The output voltage value of this circuit is determined by the ratio of resistor R1, electronic variable resistor RP, resistor R2, and resistor R3.
[0053] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by selecting the AD5272 chip as the electronic variable resistor RP, the resistance value of the electronic variable resistor RP can be precisely and conveniently adjusted by sending commands from the host computer 8; the resistance value of the electronic variable resistor RP is much larger than that of resistors R1 and R2. By adjusting the resistance value of the electronic variable resistor RP, and through the two-stage amplification of transistors V2 and V3, the voltage across capacitor C2 can be adjusted over a wide range. The voltage across capacitor C2 is the output voltage of the adjustable voltage regulator module 4.
