Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of short circuit detection technology, and in particular to a short circuit detection circuit for the output of a charging pile before charging, suitable for single-phase power input. Background Technology

[0002] The new national standard GB44263-2024 for AC charging piles requires that "AC power supply equipment should not charge when a short circuit occurs in the AC output circuit before energy transmission." Currently, domestic AC charging piles on the market do not have output circuit detection before charging. In customer applications, short circuits may occur between the lines at the charging pile end. Without pre-charging detection, the charging pile end will close the relay to charge after detecting that the control guide CP line is connected normally. Although there is short circuit detection after normal charging, it may be too late, which poses a serious safety hazard. Therefore, it is urgent to add a short circuit detection function before charging. Utility Model Content

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] This solution uses relay K5, transistor V1, and three voltage divider units. Each time the charging pile is powered on, or when the charging gun is plugged in after power-on (when relays K1 and K2 are not closed), a high-level signal is output from the MCU module's I / O port. This turns on transistor V1, activates relay K5, and closes its first and second contacts. When there is no output short circuit, the voltage is divided by the first, second, and third voltage divider units, allowing the MCU module's voltage acquisition terminal to acquire a reference voltage. If the reference voltage acquired by the MCU module's voltage acquisition terminal differs from the reference voltage, a short circuit is detected, requiring an alarm and fault resolution before normal charging can resume. This prevents short circuits between lines at the charging pile, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by accidental power-on.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a diode D1, the anode of which is connected to one end of the coil of relay K5 and the collector of transistor V1, and the cathode of diode D1 is connected to the other end of the coil of relay K5 and the cathode of diode D1 is connected to a preset DC power supply.

[0035] Furthermore, the first voltage divider unit includes resistors R201, R202, and R203.

[0037] Furthermore, the third voltage divider unit includes a resistor R213, one end of which is connected to the voltage acquisition terminal of the second voltage divider unit and the MCU module of the peripheral device, and the other end of which is grounded.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, resistor R213 is a voltage divider pull-down resistor used to adjust the voltage sampling value of the MCU module.

[0039] Furthermore, the third voltage divider unit also includes a capacitor C130. One end of the capacitor C130 is connected to the second voltage divider unit, one end of the resistor R213, and the voltage acquisition terminal of the peripheral MCU module. The other end of the capacitor C130 is connected to the other end of the resistor R213 and grounded.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, capacitor C130 acts as a filter and provides anti-interference protection for the voltage acquisition terminal of the MCU module.

[0041] Furthermore, the third voltage divider unit also includes a Zener diode (TVS). The cathode of the Zener diode (TVS) is connected to the second voltage divider unit, one end of the resistor R213, and the voltage acquisition terminal of the peripheral MCU module, respectively. The anode of the Zener diode (TVS) is connected to the other end of the resistor R213, and the anode of the Zener diode (TVS) is grounded.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes resistors R215 and R216. One end of resistor R215 is connected to the I / O port of the MCU module of the peripheral device, and the other end of resistor R215 is connected to one end of resistor R216 and the base of transistor V1, respectively. The other end of resistor R216 is connected to the emitter of transistor V1 and the other end of resistor R216 is grounded.

[0061] The working principle of the above-mentioned short-circuit detection circuit for charging piles with single-phase power input before charging is as follows:

[0062] Each time the charging pile 4 is powered on, or when the charging gun is plugged in after power-on (at this time, the contacts of relays K1 and K2 are not closed), a high level is output from the I / O port of MCU module 3, turning on transistor V1 and activating relay K5. The first and second contacts of relay K5 are both closed. When there is no output short circuit, the voltage is divided by the first voltage divider unit 1, the second voltage divider unit 2, and the third voltage divider unit 6, allowing the voltage acquisition terminal of MCU module 3 to acquire the reference voltage (the voltage value acquired by the voltage acquisition terminal of MCU module 3 is adjusted by the third voltage divider unit 6). The ADC voltage acquisition calculation formula of MCU module 3 is: 12 * pull-down resistor / (pull-up resistor + pull-down resistor), where resistors R201, R202, R203, R210, R211, and R212 are pull-up resistors, and resistor R213 is a pull-down resistor. The reference voltage U... ADC =12*R213 / (R214+R201+R202+R203+R210+R211+R212+R213), except for resistor R214 which is 10KΩ, all other resistors are 1.5MΩ. U can then be calculated. ADC =1.71V. If the voltage collected by the voltage acquisition terminal of MCU module 3 is not equal to 1.71V, it can be determined that there is a short circuit in the output. An alarm needs to be triggered to troubleshoot the problem before normal charging can proceed.

[0063] In summary, this utility model provides a short-circuit detection circuit for charging piles with single-phase power input before charging. By setting up relay K5, transistor V1, a first voltage divider unit, a second voltage divider unit, and a third voltage divider unit, a high-level signal is output from the I / O port of the MCU module each time the charging pile is powered on or when the charging gun is plugged in after power-on (when relays K1 and K2 are not closed). This turns on transistor V1, activates relay K5, and closes both the first and second contacts of relay K5. When there is no output short circuit, the voltage is divided by the first, second, and third voltage divider units, allowing the voltage acquisition terminal of the MCU module to acquire a reference voltage. If the reference voltage acquired by the voltage acquisition terminal of the MCU module is different from the reference voltage, a short circuit can be detected at the output, requiring an alarm to be triggered and the fault to be cleared before normal charging can proceed. This prevents short circuits between the lines at the charging pile, thus avoiding potential safety hazards caused by accidental power-on of the charging pile.
