Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging detection technology, and more particularly to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology. Specifically, it is an overcurrent detection circuit based on a Hall sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Current sampling circuits typically come in three types: "high-side current sampling," "low-side current sampling," and "Hall sensor sampling." High-side current sampling suffers from drawbacks such as high common-mode voltage, the use of numerous non-dedicated discrete components, complex design, and high cost. Low-side current sampling introduces ground level interference, which becomes more pronounced as the current increases. Hall sensor sampling isolates the sampling signal, making it particularly suitable for high-power applications. However, current Hall sensor sampling circuits generally employ passive filtering technology, resulting in unclean detection signals and thus large detection errors. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an overcurrent detection circuit based on a Hall sensor, which solves the problems of large detection error and unstable operation in the current sampling circuit based on a Hall sensor in the prior art.
[0004] The present invention solves the above problems through the following technical solution:
[0005] An overcurrent detection circuit based on a Hall sensor includes:
[0006] Hall effect sensors, connected to the power module, are used to sample current.
[0007] A voltage follower module is connected to the output terminal of the Hall sensor;
[0008] The voltage divider circuit module is connected to the voltage follower module and is used to divide the output voltage of the voltage follower module.
[0009] An amplifier circuit module is connected to the output terminal of the voltage divider circuit module and is used to amplify the voltage output by the voltage divider circuit.
[0010] A filtering module, connected to the amplifier circuit module, is used to filter the output of the amplifier circuit module before outputting it to the next stage.
[0011] Working principle:
[0012] The Hall sensor's primary stage samples the external input current, while its secondary stage outputs a weak, low-voltage signal. This signal is then divided by a voltage follower module and a voltage divider module before being fed into an amplifier module. The amplifier module's output is filtered, allowing the high-current detection signal to be accurately detected by a microcontroller or other processor after conditioning.
[0013] Furthermore, the voltage follower module includes a first operational amplifier and a resistor R1. The non-inverting input of the first operational amplifier is connected to the output of the Hall sensor. The first end of the resistor R1 is connected to the inverting input of the first operational amplifier, and the second end of the resistor R1 is connected to the output of the first operational amplifier.
[0014] Furthermore, the voltage divider circuit module includes resistors R2 and R3. The first end of resistor R2 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage follower module, the second end of resistor R2 is connected to the first end of resistor R3 and an input terminal of the amplifier circuit module, and the second end of resistor R3 is grounded.
[0015] Furthermore, the amplifier circuit module includes a second operational amplifier, resistors R4 and R5, and capacitor C3. The non-inverting input of the second operational amplifier is connected to the second end of resistor R2, and the inverting input of the second operational amplifier is connected to the first end of resistor R4, the first end of resistor R5, and the first end of capacitor C3. The second end of resistor R4 is grounded, and the second ends of resistor R5 and capacitor C3 are connected to the output of the second operational amplifier.
[0016] Furthermore, the filtering module includes a resistor R6 and a capacitor C4. The first end of the resistor R6 is connected to the output end of the amplifier circuit module, the second end of the resistor R6 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C4 and serves as the signal output end, and the second end of the capacitor C4 is grounded.
[0017] Furthermore, filter capacitors are connected between the Hall sensor and the power module, and between the Hall sensor and ground.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0019] This invention acquires weak low-voltage signals from Hall effect sensors, performs voltage following, voltage division, negative feedback amplification, and filtering, allowing for accurate detection by microcontrollers and other processors. This invention cleverly utilizes an active filter circuit composed of two operational amplifier stages, resulting in a pure output detection signal with minimal error. Furthermore, the circuit uses few components, leading to low cost. Attached Figure Description
