[0032] Both the live wire connector 110 and the neutral wire connector 120 can be connected with wires, making it convenient for users to connect to the output terminal of AC power.

[0033] This utility model relates to a wiring status detection and display circuit. Users can connect the live wire connector 110 and the neutral wire connector 120 to the AC power supply to be tested. The first wiring detection module 510 detects the first wiring status of the live wire connector 110 and the neutral wire connector 120, generating a first wiring signal. The control module 300 determines whether to control the switch module 600 to conduct based on the first wiring signal. It is understood that when the first wiring signal indicates a wiring error, i.e., the neutral wire connector 120 is connected to the live wire of the AC power supply, the switch module 600 conducts, discharging the current and preventing current from passing through the neutral wire connector 120 and impacting the internal electronic components. This design is convenient and reliable, reducing the risk of damage to devices due to misoperation.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the wiring status detection and display circuit further includes a ground wire connector 130, a second wiring detection module 520, and a third wiring detection module 530. The sampling terminal of the electrical detection module 200 is also connected to the ground wire connector 130.

[0035] Some AC power supplies also include a ground output terminal. The electrical detection module 200 can detect phase-to-phase voltage, leakage current, etc. The second wiring detection module 520 generates a second wiring signal, and the third wiring detection module 530 generates a third wiring signal. This allows it to be determined whether there is a wiring error between the live wire connector 110, the neutral wire connector 120, and the ground wire connector 130.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the first wiring detection module 510 includes a diode D3, an optocoupler OCT9, a resistor R13, and a capacitor C10. The positive terminal of the diode D3 is connected to the live wire connector 110, and the negative terminal of the diode D3 is connected to the input terminal of the light emitter of the optocoupler OCT9. The output terminal of the light emitter of the optocoupler OCT9 is connected to the first end of the resistor R12, and the last end of the resistor R12 is connected to the neutral wire connector 120. The input terminal of the light receiver of the optocoupler OCT9 is connected to the first end of the resistor R13, the first end of the capacitor C10, and the control module 300, respectively. The last end of the resistor R13 is connected to the power supply, and the last end of the capacitor C10 and the output terminal of the light receiver of the optocoupler OCT9 are grounded.

[0037] Specifically, the first, second, and third wiring signals can all be level signals. The control module 300 can determine the wiring status based on the first, second, and third wiring signals. For example, if the first wiring signal is low, the second wiring signal is high, and the third wiring signal is low, it indicates that the live wire connector 110 and the neutral wire connector 120 are reversed with the neutral and live wires, respectively. If the first wiring signal is high, the second wiring signal is low, and the third wiring signal is low, it indicates that the live wire connector 110 and the ground wire connector 130 are reversed with the ground and live wires, respectively. If the first connection signal is high and the third connection signal is high, it indicates that the ground wire connector 130 is not connected to the ground wire. If the first connection signal is high, the second connection signal is high, and the third connection signal is high, it indicates that the live wire connector 110 is not connected to the live wire. If the first connection signal is low, the second connection signal is high, and the third connection signal is high, it indicates that the live wire connector 110 is not connected to the live wire. If the first connection signal is low, the second connection signal is low, and the third connection signal is high, it indicates that the live wire connector 110, the neutral wire connector 120, and the ground wire connector 130 are all correctly connected to the neutral wire, the live wire, and the ground wire, respectively.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the switch module 600 includes an auxiliary load unit 610 and a switch unit 620. The auxiliary load unit 610 and the switch unit 620 are connected to form a discharge branch. The first end of the discharge branch is connected to the live wire connector 110, and the last end of the discharge branch is connected to the neutral wire connector 120. The control module 300 is connected to the controlled end of the switch unit 620.

[0039] Specifically, the switching unit 620 may include a semiconductor switching transistor Q1, and the switching transistor Q1 and the auxiliary load unit 610 form at least a partial discharge branch.

[0040] When the live wire connector 110 and the neutral wire connector 120 are connected incorrectly, the control module 300 controls the switch unit 620 to conduct. In order to prevent current from flowing directly into the neutral wire and causing a short circuit, an auxiliary load unit 610 is added. The auxiliary load unit 610 can discharge and consume electrical energy without causing a large impact on the downstream electronic components.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary load unit 610 includes multiple resistors, which are connected in series or in parallel.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, the switch module 600 further includes an optocoupler OCT2. The input terminal of the photodetector of the optocoupler is connected to the power supply, the output terminal of the photodetector of the optocoupler is connected to the controlled terminal of the switch unit 620, the input terminal of the light emitter of the optocoupler is connected to the control module 300, and the output terminal of the light emitter of the optocoupler is grounded.

[0043] The optocoupler OCT2 isolates the control module 300 from the controlled terminal of the switch module 600, preventing interference signals or current surges from the switch module 600 from entering the control module 300, thus ensuring stable and reliable control by the control module 300.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the switching module 600 further includes a Zener diode Z1 and a capacitor C1. The negative terminal of the Zener diode Z1 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C1, the input terminal of the photodetector of the optocoupler, and the power supply, respectively. The positive terminal of the Zener diode Z1 and the tail end of the capacitor C1 are grounded.

[0045] Zener diode Z1 and capacitor C1 can provide a stable voltage to the photodetector of the optocoupler, ensuring that the control module 300 can sensitively drive the switching transistor Q1 to conduct when it outputs a signal.

[0046] The tester according to a second aspect of the present invention includes the wiring status detection and display circuit disclosed in any of the above embodiments.

[0047] The present invention uses the wiring status detection and display circuit disclosed in any of the above embodiments, which is convenient and reliable to use and reduces the risk of damage to the device due to misoperation.

[0048] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
