Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation power technology, and in particular to a voltage limiting device in an aviation battery starter vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The aviation battery starter vehicle is an important component of aviation ground support equipment, used to provide starting power for aircraft engines or auxiliary power units (APUs).
[0003] Existing aviation battery starter vehicles mostly use series-connected battery packs for power supply. Under no-load or light-load conditions, the output voltage of the battery packs may be significantly higher than the rated value, leading to overvoltage damage to the load equipment. This results in slow voltage limiting response and poor reliability, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of aviation equipment for power supply voltage stability. Therefore, a voltage limiting device for aviation battery starter vehicles is designed. Utility Model Content

A series inductor is provided on one side of the power regulator, electrically connected to the power regulator. A filter capacitor is mounted on the side of the series inductor, fixedly connected to the series inductor. A high-precision voltage sensor is provided on the side of the filter capacitor, near the aviation battery. The sensor monitors the output voltage in real time. A microcontroller is installed on one side of the high-precision voltage sensor and is electrically connected to the high-precision voltage sensor. The microcontroller performs voltage threshold comparison and generates a PWM signal to control the power device to turn on. An electromagnetic relay is installed on one side of the microcontroller. The electromagnetic relay bypasses the voltage limiting device when the voltage is stable. A fast-acting fuse is installed below the electromagnetic relay.

The power regulator acts as a variable resistor, controlling the voltage drop by adjusting the conduction level. The high-precision voltage sensor monitors the output voltage in real time. When the detected voltage exceeds a set threshold, the microcontroller drives the power regulator to increase the voltage drop, stabilizing the output voltage within the standard range. When the voltage returns to normal, the microcontroller automatically performs bypass voltage limiting to reduce energy loss. This device features fast response and high reliability, making it suitable for aviation applications. Attached Figure Description
