[0033] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a circuit device with progressive overpower protection, comprising: an input rectifier unit, a power conversion unit, a feedback control unit, an overpower protection trigger unit, and an output unit; wherein the input rectifier unit, the power conversion unit, and the output unit are electrically connected in sequence, the feedback control unit is electrically connected to the power conversion unit, and the feedback control unit, the overpower protection trigger unit, and the output unit are electrically connected in sequence; the input rectifier unit and the power conversion unit are configured to rectify and change the power of the input voltage, respectively, and the output unit is configured to output voltage to a load; the feedback control unit is configured to detect the output voltage of the output unit through the overpower protection trigger unit; the overpower protection trigger unit is configured to output an overpower protection signal to the feedback control unit when the output power of the output unit exceeds a threshold; and the feedback control unit is further configured to output a corresponding control signal to the power conversion unit to adjust the output voltage of the output unit.
[0035] In at least one embodiment, by setting an overpower protection trigger unit between the feedback control unit and the output unit, the output voltage can be gradually reduced and the current can be gradually increased when the output power of the output unit is abnormal, until the voltage is lower than 3.3V to trigger the cut-off protection, avoiding the impact of direct power failure on the load, overcoming the problem of abnormal load operation and data loss caused by direct power failure, and achieving a more stable protection process.
[0036] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The input rectification unit includes a bridge rectifier circuit BD1; the bridge rectifier circuit BD1 is connected to the voltage input terminal and the power conversion module to rectify the input voltage and output it to the power conversion module.
[0037] Specifically, the function of the bridge rectifier circuit BD1 is to convert alternating current into direct current.
[0038] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The power conversion unit includes a voltage regulation chip U3 and a first switching transistor Q1. The voltage regulation chip U3 is electrically connected to the input rectification unit and the feedback control unit, and the voltage regulation chip U3 is electrically connected to the output unit through the first switching transistor Q1. The voltage regulation chip U3 is configured to acquire the control signal sent by the feedback control unit. The voltage regulation chip U3 is also configured to adjust the input voltage after rectification by the input rectification unit and output it to the output unit through the first switching transistor Q1.
[0039] Specifically, the power conversion unit also includes: inductor L1, rectifier diode D1, filter capacitor C5 and filter capacitor C8.
[0040] Specifically, the voltage regulation chip U3, in conjunction with the first switching transistor Q1, can regulate the voltage for output.
[0041] Specifically, the voltage regulator chip U3 uses the OB2004 chip, which can be used for secondary-side rectification of switching power supply systems. That is, it drives an N-channel MOSFET (first switching transistor Q1) with a much lower voltage drop to simulate the traditional diode rectifier on the secondary side of a flyback converter, thereby reducing heat dissipation, improving output current capability and efficiency, and simplifying heat dissipation design. It can support a wide range of system output voltages from 5V to 12V.
[0042] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The feedback control unit includes a feedback control chip U1; the feedback control chip U1 is electrically connected to the power conversion unit and the over-power protection trigger unit; the feedback control chip U1 is configured to detect the output voltage of the output unit through the over-power protection trigger unit; the feedback control chip U1 is also configured to output a corresponding control signal to the power conversion unit.
[0043] Specifically, the feedback control chip U1 uses the OB2633 chip, which is a high-efficiency multi-mode PWM controller to realize PWM signal output.
[0044] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The overpower protection trigger unit includes an overpower protection circuit and an output voltage detection circuit; the feedback control unit, the overpower protection circuit, the output voltage detection circuit, and the output unit are electrically connected in sequence; the feedback control unit is configured to detect the output voltage of the output unit through the output voltage detection circuit; the overpower protection circuit is configured to output an overpower protection signal to the feedback control unit when the output power of the output unit exceeds a threshold.
[0045] Specifically, the output voltage detection circuit is used to accurately feed back the output voltage of the output unit, which ensures that the feedback control unit can provide feedback regulation to the power conversion unit.
[0046] Specifically, the overpower protection circuit intervenes when the output power of the output unit is abnormal, thereby realizing a gradual protection process and avoiding direct power failure that could impact the load.
[0047] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The output voltage detection circuit includes: a plurality of voltage divider detection resistors; each voltage divider detection resistor is electrically connected to the output unit, and each voltage divider detection resistor is electrically connected to the feedback control unit through a voltage divider node GO; the feedback control unit is configured to detect the output voltage of the output unit through each voltage divider detection resistor.
[0048] Specifically, voltage divider detection resistors R25 and R26 are connected in series between the output positive terminal (OUT+) and ground (GND), and the voltage divider node GO is connected to the FB pin of the feedback control chip U1 through voltage divider detection resistor R29.
[0049] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The output voltage detection circuit includes: a Zener diode D2; the Zener diode D2 is electrically connected to the voltage divider node GO, and the Zener diode D2 is electrically connected to the feedback control unit; the Zener diode D2 is configured to output an overpower protection signal to the feedback control unit when it is turned on.
[0050] Specifically, the Zener diode D2 is an SOD-323 type diode, with its anode connected between the output voltage detection circuit and the FB pin of the feedback control chip U1, and its cathode connected to the gate drive circuit of the first switching transistor Q1 or ground potential.
[0051] Specifically, the Zener diode D2 is connected in parallel across the voltage divider detection resistor R29 or in series in the feedback path to conduct during overpower events and reduce the feedback voltage.
[0052] Specifically, during normal operation, the Zener diode D2 is turned off due to reverse bias (zener voltage 5.1V). The feedback loop accurately acquires the output voltage through the voltage divider detection resistors R25, R26, and R29. The feedback control chip U1 controls the first switching transistor Q1 to maintain a stable output.
[0053] Specifically, during overpower detection, when the output power exceeds the threshold (P=V×I), the output current I rises, causing the voltage drop of the detection resistors R7 and R8 to increase. At the same time, the output voltage V decreases slightly due to the increased load. When the power product exceeds the set value, the voltage of the Zener laser anode drops below 5.1V, and the Zener diode D2 turns on.
[0054] Specifically, during over-power protection, after the Zener diode D2 turns on, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 3 Optocoupler U2 is directly connected to the positive output terminal (OUT+) to shunt the feedback loop current, thereby reducing the voltage at the FB pin of feedback control chip U1. This reduces the duty cycle of the output drive signal of feedback control chip U1, shortens the conduction time of the first switch Q1, and causes the output voltage V to gradually decrease. Since the load impedance remains constant, the current I gradually increases as V decreases (I=V / R load). When the output voltage V < 3.3V, the internal protection circuit of feedback control chip U1 is activated, cutting off the drive signal of the first switch Q1 to achieve final protection and avoid direct power failure impact.
[0055] Specifically, unlike the sudden power cut-off of overload protection and overcurrent protection, the voltage gradually decreases and the current gradually increases through the Zener diode D2, making the protection process smoother. By utilizing the Zener diode D2's voltage regulation characteristics (5.1V) and the voltage divider resistor network, the overpower protection trigger point (final protection when V < 3.3V) can be accurately set. Only the Zener diode D2 and the voltage divider detection resistor need to be added to the existing feedback loop, without major circuit modifications, making it low-cost and easy to implement.
[0056] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The output unit includes a voltage output chip U4 and several output units; the voltage output chip U4 is electrically connected to the power conversion unit, and each of the output units is electrically connected to the voltage output chip U4; the voltage output chip U4 is configured to output voltage to the corresponding load through each output unit.
[0057] Specifically, the voltage output chip U4 can achieve wired charging and wireless charging through the output unit.
[0058] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The output unit includes an output interface; the output interface is electrically connected to the voltage output chip U4, and each of the output interfaces is adapted to connect to a load.
[0059] Specifically, the output interfaces USB1 and USB2 can be connected to corresponding chargers, which can be wired chargers or wireless chargers.
[0060] Based on the same technical concept, at least one embodiment also provides a wireless fast charger, which includes: a circuit device with progressive overpower protection as described above.
[0061] In summary, this utility model, by setting an overpower protection trigger unit between the feedback control unit and the output unit, can gradually reduce the output voltage and gradually increase the current when the output power of the output unit is abnormal, until the voltage drops below 3.3V to trigger the cut-off protection, thus avoiding the impact of direct power failure on the load, overcoming the problem of abnormal load operation and data loss caused by direct power failure, and achieving a more stable protection process.
