[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent control type solenoid valve, including a controller main control unit 1, wherein the input terminal of the controller main control unit 1 is connected to a lithium battery pack 2 and a WIFI communication module 3 respectively, the input terminal of the lithium battery pack 2 is connected to a photovoltaic charging module 6, and the output terminal of the lithium battery pack 2 is connected to the WIFI communication module 3.

[0019] The output of the controller main control unit 1 is connected to the WIFI communication module 3 and the power output module 4, and the output of the power output module 4 is connected to the solenoid valve 5.

[0020] Pin 1 of the IP2320 chip U4 of the photovoltaic charging module 6 is connected in series with LED3 and resistor R13 to the lithium battery pack 2.

[0021] Specifically, pin 4 of the TP4056 chip U1 of the controller main control unit 1 is connected in series with diode D1 and pin 3 of the lithium battery pack 2. Diode D1 is used for the unidirectional flow of current from the lithium battery pack 2 into the controller main control unit 1.

[0022] Pins 2 and 3 of the TP4056 chip U1 are connected to an LC filter consisting of capacitor C4 and inductor L1. The LC filter is connected to the drive circuit through capacitors C2 and C3 in parallel and resistor R3. By setting multiple capacitors and resistors in parallel over the widest possible frequency range, a low-impedance power path is provided for the load. This not only broadens the filtering frequency band but also provides better transient response. After parallel connection, the large capacitor is responsible for the low frequency band and the small capacitor is responsible for the high frequency band. Together, they maintain a very low impedance over an extremely wide frequency range from low to high. In addition, resistor R3 consumes the energy of oscillation in the circuit, suppressing or eliminating oscillation and making the system response more stable. At the same time, a parallel resistor can provide a dummy load to ensure that the controller main control unit 1 always has a minimum current flow, thus ensuring stable operation.

[0023] LC filters are used to suppress high-frequency noise, suppress current surges, and store energy, thereby providing a stable, smooth, and clean DC voltage to the drive circuit.

[0024] The driving circuit includes a field-effect transistor T1 and an optocoupler OT1. The gate of the field-effect transistor T1 is connected to the transistor Q1, the drain of the field-effect transistor T1 is connected to the TP4056 chip U1, the source of the field-effect transistor T1 is connected to the optocoupler OT1, and the optocoupler OT1 is connected to the solenoid valve 5.

[0025] Optocoupler OT1 is used to protect the controller: Solenoid valve 5 generates a very high back electromotive force (EMF) during energization and de-energization. If this spike is transmitted back to the TP4056 chip U1, it can easily damage the fragile TP4056 chip U1 or the STEM32 chip U, causing permanent damage. Optocoupler OT1 completely isolates the TP4056 chip U1 from the power ground driving the solenoid valve. This high-voltage spike cannot pass through the optocoupler, thus protecting the expensive controller. Simultaneously, the optocoupler converts the input electrical signal into an optical signal, which is then converted back into an electrical signal by an internal photosensitive element.

[0026] Pin 5 of chip U2 of STEM32 in power output module 4 is connected to an RC parallel circuit. The RC parallel circuit and resistor R5 are connected to the base of transistor Q1. The emitter of transistor Q1 is connected in series with capacitor C8 and collector of transistor Q1, which are connected to the parallel point of drive circuit and resistor R7. Resistors R7 and R8 are connected to WIFI communication module 3.

[0027] The power output module 4 operates on a low voltage, typically outputting 3.3V or 5V DC, while the solenoid valve is a power load, usually requiring 12V or 24V DC. Pulse control is achieved through a specially designed drive circuit.

[0028] The output of power output module 4 is directly connected to the gate of MOSFET T1. When the pulse is high, MOSFET T1 is turned on, and a large current flows from the power supply through solenoid valve 5 and MOSFET T1, causing solenoid valve 5 to operate. When the pulse is low, MOSFET T1 is turned off, solenoid valve 5 is de-energized, and resistor R7 suppresses oscillation to prevent overshoot caused by excessively fast switching.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
