Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AC-DC power conversion technology, and in particular to an AC-DC power module. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the fields of industrial control and intelligent equipment, reliable dual-channel isolated power supply modules are core components ensuring the continuous operation of critical equipment. Traditional AC-DC conversion solutions suffer from three systemic defects:

[0003] (1) Insufficient output redundancy: The mainstream single-channel output power supply cannot simultaneously meet the differentiated power supply requirements of the main control unit (requires 12V / 1A) and the sensing module (requires 9V / 0.5A), forcing the system to add a secondary step-down circuit, resulting in reduced energy efficiency and increased fault nodes.

[0004] (2) Lack of power outage protection mechanism: When a sudden power grid interruption occurs, the existing solution has a power outage response blind zone of ≥200ms, which can easily lead to data loss of industrial controllers and incomplete event records of edge computing devices.

[0005] Although some solutions attempt to use electrolytic capacitors for energy storage, they suffer from excessively high equivalent series resistance, making it difficult for the MCU to complete a full data storage cycle.

[0006] (3) Risk of voltage interference conduction: When the two outputs are designed to share a common ground (such as a typical non-isolated DC-DC scheme), the 12V power circuit will generate ripple interference to the 9V sensing circuit. Sudden load changes will cause the cross-regulation rate to deteriorate, which will directly reduce the effectiveness of high-precision ADC sampling.

[0007] Existing technological improvements are hampered by technical contradictions. For example, using dual independent transformers for physical isolation results in increased size and significantly higher costs. Digital control with multiple outputs sacrifices response speed, and voltage drops drastically under heavy loads. Using lithium titanate batteries for power-off protection suffers from drawbacks such as low-temperature failure and short cycle life.

[0008] The aforementioned pain points highlight the core contradiction in the power module field: how to achieve the triple technical goals of high-efficiency power conversion, dual-path electrical isolation, and millisecond-level power failure response within a compact space. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an AC-to-DC power supply module that outputs two isolated low-voltage DC circuits through rectification and step-down, simultaneously meeting the needs of different electrical devices, preventing crosstalk within the devices, enhancing redundancy, and setting a supercapacitor unit and a voltage regulator unit at one output position to ensure that there is still a backup power supply after a sudden power outage, preventing data loss of electrical devices caused by momentary power failure.

[0013] The switch control unit is connected to the rectifier unit, and the switching frequency is adjusted by the AC-DC conversion chip to achieve power control, satisfying the requirements of no-load energy saving and heavy-load high-power output.

[0014] The primary side of the transformer in the isolation transformer unit is connected to the switch control unit, and the secondary side contains two electrically isolated independent windings, which output two low-voltage DC power supplies that are not grounded.

[0015] The supercapacitor unit is connected in parallel to one of the output terminals of the isolation transformer unit, and is charged in constant current mode through this output.

[0016] The voltage stabilizing unit is connected to the output terminal of the supercapacitor unit, and dynamically stabilizes the supercapacitor output voltage to a preset operating voltage range.

[0017] In the above technical solution, preferably, the varistor is connected between the L terminal and the N terminal of the 220V AC input terminal.

[0018] In the above technical solution, preferably, the rectifier unit uses a full-bridge rectifier current constructed with rectifier diodes to convert AC power into DC power.

[0019] In the above technical solution, preferably, the two independent windings on the secondary side of the transformer output a first isolated low-voltage DC power of 12V and a second isolated low-voltage DC power of 9V, respectively.

[0020] In the above technical solution, preferably, the supercapacitor unit is connected in parallel to the output terminal of the second isolated low-voltage DC power supply, and the supercapacitor is charged with a current of 100mA while the 9V voltage is output.

[0022] In the above technical solution, preferably, the supercapacitor unit includes three supercapacitors connected in series.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by rectifying and stepping down the output of two isolated low-voltage DC circuits, it can simultaneously meet the needs of different electrical devices, prevent crosstalk within the electrical devices, enhance redundancy, and set a supercapacitor unit and a voltage regulator unit at one output position to ensure that there is still a backup power supply after a sudden power outage, preventing data loss of electrical devices caused by momentary power outage.
