Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular relates to a residual current fast discharge circuit suitable for high voltage input. Background Technology
[0002] Existing input voltage bleed methods utilize the input terminal line impedance as a bleed circuit. When the input voltage is disconnected, the large-capacity filter capacitor at the input terminal causes the input voltage to drop slowly, requiring a long time to completely bleed to zero. Repeated power-on within a short period poses a risk of operational instability. Replacing existing foreign technologies with only basic components and effectively reducing the input voltage bleed time has become a key technical challenge in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] A high-voltage input residual current rapid discharge circuit is characterized by comprising a Zener diode, a first transistor, a second transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a fifth resistor, and a sixth resistor, wherein: the Zener diode, the first resistor, and the second resistor are connected in series to form a first-stage voltage divider circuit, with both ends of the first-stage voltage divider circuit connected between the positive and negative terminals of the power supply; the sixth resistor, the third resistor, the fourth resistor, and the fifth resistor are connected in series to form a second-stage voltage divider circuit, with both ends of the second-stage voltage divider circuit connected between the positive and negative terminals of the power supply; the base of the second transistor is connected to the line between the first and second resistors, the collector of the second transistor is connected to the line between the third and fourth resistors, and the emitter of the second transistor is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply; the base of the first transistor is connected to the line between the fourth and fifth resistors, the collector of the first transistor is connected to the line between the sixth and third resistors, and the emitter of the first transistor is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
[0005] Preferably, the cathode of the Zener diode is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the anode of the Zener diode is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply in sequence through a first resistor and a second resistor.
[0006] Preferably, the Zener diode is a 36V to 48V Zener diode.
[0007] Preferably, the sixth resistor is a resistor with a strength of 2K to 2.5K ohms.
[0008] The residual current rapid discharge circuit of this utility model, suitable for high voltage input, has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] This residual current rapid discharge circuit, as part of a DC high-voltage power supply, discharges the input voltage by using its own input line impedance as a discharge circuit when the DC power input is de-energized. This effectively reduces the time required for input voltage discharge and improves operational reliability. Furthermore, this circuit uses only basic components and does not rely on existing foreign technologies. Its peripheral components can be flexibly configured to achieve rapid discharge of different DC input voltages, enhancing the product's practicality. Attached Figure Description

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0013] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] like Figure 1As shown, this high-voltage input residual current fast discharge circuit includes a Zener diode VD1, a first transistor VT1, a second transistor VT2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a sixth resistor R6. In the figure, the Zener diode VD1, the first resistor R1, and the second resistor R2 are connected in series to form a first-stage voltage divider circuit. The two ends of the first-stage voltage divider circuit are connected between the positive terminal VIN+ and the negative terminal VIN- of the power supply, respectively. The first-stage voltage divider circuit is used to control the conduction and cutoff of the second transistor VT2. The sixth resistor R6, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, and the fifth resistor R5 are connected in series to form a second-stage voltage divider circuit. The two ends of the transistor are connected between the positive terminal VIN+ and the negative terminal VIN- of the power supply, respectively. The two-stage voltage divider circuit is used to control the conduction of the first transistor VT1. The base of the second transistor VT2 is connected to the line between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The collector of the second transistor VT2 is connected to the line between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4. The emitter of the second transistor VT2 is connected to the negative terminal VIN- of the power supply. The base of the first transistor VT1 is connected to the line between the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5. The collector of the first transistor VT1 is connected to the line between the sixth resistor R6 and the third resistor R3. The emitter of the first transistor VT1 is connected to the negative terminal VIN- of the power supply.
[0015] Specifically, the cathode of the Zener diode VD1 is connected to the positive terminal VIN+ of the power supply, and the anode of the Zener diode VD1 is connected to the negative terminal VIN- of the power supply through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The Zener diode VD1 has a voltage range of 36–48V, and the sixth resistor R6 has a voltage range of 2K–2.5K ohms.
[0016] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0017] When the input is powered on normally, the Zener diode VD1 is broken down, and the voltage obtained by R2 is used to turn on VT2. After VT2 is turned on, VT1 is turned off, and the current of VIN+ flows to VIN- through R6.
[0018] When the input power is lost, the input voltage will rapidly drop to its undervoltage point through the power supply's own power consumption. At this point, the voltage at the undervoltage point cannot break down VD1, and VT2 will turn off. Simultaneously, R5 will turn on VT1 through voltage division, and the current from VIN+ will flow directly to VIN- through R6, achieving rapid discharge. By properly setting the parameters of VD1 and R6, it is ensured that the input voltage completes rapid discharge in a short time.
[0019] This circuit is composed of basic components, is flexible in implementation, and is suitable for various DC high voltage input circuits.
[0020] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
