Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic circuit technology, and in particular to a high-voltage brushless motor driver power failure rapid detection circuit. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage brushless motor drivers are used in applications requiring frequent braking, where an external power supply needs to be cut off to stop the motor in an emergency. During continuous braking, the brushless motor generates its own electricity, causing the bus voltage to remain high, which in turn keeps the driver powered, preventing the motor from stopping.

[0003] Therefore, designing a detection circuit that can detect whether the external power supply has failed is one of the urgent problems to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a high-voltage brushless motor driver power failure rapid detection circuit to at least solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0018] This application divides, clamps, and limits the high-voltage AC voltage at the external power supply terminal of the high-voltage brushless motor driver before inputting it to an optocoupler. When the high-voltage AC voltage is supplied, the output is a square wave signal. When the high-voltage AC voltage is cut off, a continuous high level can be output at the output terminal of the optocoupler, which is the output signal terminal of this detection circuit, thereby identifying whether the external power supply has been cut off.

[0023] Figure 2 The specific circuit diagram of this application is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a high-voltage brushless motor driver power-off rapid detection circuit, including:

[0026] The voltage divider circuit is connected to the external power supply terminal of the high-voltage brushless motor driver to divide the high-voltage AC voltage.

[0027] Specifically, the external power supply terminal of the high-voltage brushless motor driver includes a live wire (L) and a neutral wire (N). The voltage divider circuit includes several voltage divider resistors connected in series on the live wire. In this embodiment, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 divide the high-voltage AC voltage.

[0028] The negative half-cycle voltage clamping circuit is connected to the voltage divider circuit to clamp the negative half-cycle voltage of the high-voltage AC voltage to a fixed voltage.

[0029] Specifically, the negative half-cycle voltage clamping circuit includes a first diode D1, with its anode and cathode connected to the neutral line, specifically serving as the output terminal of the voltage divider circuit. The first diode D1 clamps the high-voltage AC negative half-cycle voltage to approximately 0.7V to protect the optocoupler.

[0030] A current-limiting circuit is connected to the negative half-cycle voltage clamping circuit to limit the current in the circuit.

[0031] Specifically, the current limiting circuit includes a third resistor R3, the first end of which is connected to the live wire, and the second end of which is connected to the live wire, i.e., in parallel with the first diode D1.

[0032] Optocoupler U1, the input terminal of which is connected to the current limiting circuit.

[0033] The preferred model of the optocoupler U1 is PC817C. The optocoupler U1 is used to isolate input and output signals. At the same time, as a key component of the signal detection circuit, the positive half-cycle voltage output by the current limiting circuit turns U1 on, and vice versa, U1 is turned off during the negative half-cycle.

[0034] The output signal terminal AC_TEST is located at the output terminal of the optocoupler U1. The output signal terminal AC_TEST is connected to the output signal power supply terminal VDD via a pull-up resistor R4. The pull-up resistor R4 provides a high-level voltage to the output signal terminal AC_TEST, thereby limiting current when the optocoupler U1 is on.

[0035] The output signal terminal AC_TEST is the output terminal of this detection circuit. When the optocoupler U1 is turned on, the output signal terminal AC_TEST outputs a low level. When the optocoupler U1 is turned off, the output signal terminal AC_TEST outputs a high level voltage. Under the condition of high voltage AC voltage power supply, the output is a square wave signal. After the high voltage AC voltage power supply is cut off, the output is continuously high level. The back-end circuit can know that the external power supply is cut off by detecting the duration of the high level of the AC_TEST output signal.

[0036] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to rearrange, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0037] Furthermore, 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 technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
