[0016] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] A circuit for detecting live wire adhesion and grounding in AC charging piles is provided, comprising a first diode, a first resistor, an operational amplifier, and an MCU unit connected in series from left to right. The input terminal of the diode is connected to either the live wire output terminal or the live wire input terminal; that is, it is connected to the live wire output terminal when live wire adhesion detection is required, and to the live wire input terminal when grounding detection is required. The operational amplifier compares a preset reference voltage with the voltage to be measured after passing through the first resistor and outputs a level signal to the MCU unit. The MCU unit is a microcontroller, and its output terminal is connected to a preset main control CPU, which sends a status signal indicating the level signal detection to the preset main control CPU. The preset main control CPU performs the final detection of live wire adhesion and grounding.

[0018] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when performing live wire adhesion detection, the operational amplifier U653 uses the GS8591 as a comparator. The MCU unit uses a 32-bit CMS32L051 microcontroller. The input operating voltage is 4.37V. The first diode is D22, the first resistor is R148, and the second to tenth resistors are R188, R195, R149, R105, R104, R388, R146, R158, R154, and R143, respectively; the first capacitor and the second capacitor are C152 and C137, respectively. Among them, the parameters of R148, R149, R105, R104, and R388 are all 2.4MΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R188 is 10KΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R195 is 1KΩ, ±1%; the parameters of R146 and R154 are 1kΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R143 is 4.7kΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R158 is 100kΩ, ±1%; and the parameters of C152 and C137 are 100nF, ±10%, 50V.

[0019] Specifically, when the AC power relay closes, the live wire to ground (PGND) at the control board output terminal has a 220V AC voltage. This voltage passes through L1_OUT, connected to diode D22, and then in series with resistors R148, R149, R105, R104, R388, and R158 for voltage division. After being filtered by capacitor C137, it is connected in series with resistor R146 and then connected to pin 3 of U653. Simultaneously, 4.37V is divided by resistors R188 and R195, filtered by C152, and used as a reference voltage, which is then input to pin 4 of U653. Because the AC voltage changes alternately, when the voltage at pin 3 of U653 is higher than the voltage at pin 4, pin 1 of U653 outputs a high level. When the voltage at pin 3 of U653 is lower than the voltage at pin 4, pin 1 of U653 outputs a low level. The first pin of U653 is connected in series with resistor R154 to the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller. This means that the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller will receive a constantly changing voltage level. When the relay trips, the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller will receive a low voltage level, and the CMS32L051 will send the detected status signal to the preset main control CPU. The preset main control CPU will then implement the live wire adhesion detection function.

[0020] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, during grounding detection, the operational amplifier U651 uses the GS8591 as a comparator. The MCU unit uses a 32-bit CMS32L051 microcontroller. The input operating voltage is 4.37V. The first diode is D24, the first resistor is R150, and the second to tenth resistors are R200, R196, R151, R153, R106, R389, R165, R173, R160, and R173, respectively; the first capacitor and the second capacitor are C158 and C142, respectively. Among them, the parameters of R150, R151, R153, R106, and R389 are all 2.4MΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R200 is 10KΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R196 is 1KΩ, ±1%; the parameters of R165 and R160 are 1kΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R172 is 4.7kΩ, ±1%; the parameter of R173 is 100kΩ, ±1%; and the parameters of C158 and C142 are 100nF, ±10%, 50V.

[0021] Specifically, when the AC terminal is powered on, the live wire ground (PGND) of the control board input terminal has a 220V AC voltage. This voltage passes through L1_IN1, connects to diode D24, and is then divided by resistors R150, R151, R153, R106, R389, and R173. After being filtered by capacitor C173, it is connected in series with resistor R165 and then connected to pin 3 of U651. Simultaneously, 4.37V is divided by resistors R200 and R196, filtered by C158, and used as a reference voltage, which is then input to pin 4 of U651. Because the AC voltage changes alternately, when the voltage at pin 3 of U653 is higher than the voltage at pin 4 of U651, pin 1 of U651 outputs a high level. When the voltage at pin 3 of U651 is lower than the voltage at pin 4 of U651, pin 1 of U651 outputs a low level. The first pin of U651 is connected in series with resistor R160 to the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller. This means that the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller will receive a constantly changing voltage level. When the relay trips, the I / O port of the CMS32L051 microcontroller will receive a low voltage level, and the CMS32L051 will send the detected status signal to the preset master control CPU, which will then perform the grounding detection function.

[0022] The above is a description of the present utility model, which is used to help understand the present utility model. However, the implementation of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the principle of the present utility model shall be considered as equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
