Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of programmable power supply technology, and in particular to a multi-level programmable constant current source device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of high-end measuring instruments and scientific instruments, high-precision, multi-level constant current source equipment is required to provide stable current to drive the equipment to work normally.
[0003] Programmable constant current sources generally adopt voltage control, which means that a control voltage is first generated, and then the control voltage is converted into an output current through the VI circuit, so that the output current can be adjusted by the magnitude of the control voltage.
[0004] Depending on how the control voltage is generated, constant current sources vary significantly in output range and accuracy. Different applications require different current levels; for example, motor drives and servo system drives require large current outputs, reaching the ampere (A) level. In scientific research, testing, and calibration equipment, accuracy needs to be at the microampere (μA) level, with an output range at the milliampere (mA) level. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of current constant current sources, such as insufficient adaptability, inability to be applied to general scenarios from mA to A, and problems with insufficient accuracy, inflexible program controllability, and insufficient load capacity. Therefore, this invention provides a multi-level programmable constant current source device. The design is specifically tailored to the AC / DC auxiliary power supply module used in the device, incorporating a PFC circuit, LLC control circuit, and bilateral rectifier circuit to output a low-ripple voltage, providing a clean energy source for subsequent circuitry. A reference voltage is set by the main control unit, and µV-level precision adjustment is achieved using a 16-bit DAC. The voltage reference is converted into a controlled current, and MOSFET power devices combined with a relay matrix are used to achieve stable current output from the mA to A levels. The relay matrix switches the sampling circuit for different current output levels, sampling the current with precision resistors of different resistance values for each level. The current output is monitored in real time and fed back to the circuit for dynamic adjustment, thereby stabilizing the output.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A multi-stage programmable constant current source device includes a power supply section, a main control section, a reference section, a relay control section, an output section, a sampling section, and an error comparison section; The power supply section includes an anti-interference filter, a rectifier bridge, a PFC circuit, a smoothing circuit, an LLC control circuit, a power supply circuit, and a smoothing / rectification circuit connected in sequence. The power supply section outputs a ±15V power supply voltage, a 5V digital voltage, and a 5V analog voltage. The main control section is electrically connected to the reference section and the relay control section; The relay control section is electrically connected to the output section and the sampling section; The reference section is electrically connected to the error comparison section; The sampling section is electrically connected to the error comparison section and the output section; The error comparison section is electrically connected to the output section.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0015] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0016] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a multi-level programmable constant current source device is provided, mainly composed of a power supply section, a main control section, a reference section, a relay control section, an output section, a sampling section, an error comparison section, a panel section, and an alarm section, etc. Figure 1 and 2 As shown.
[0017] Power supply section: Provides stable DC voltage for each component, thus adapting to the low ripple voltage requirements of different circuits. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the AC220V input first passes through an anti-interference filter to reduce common-mode signal interference and filter noise. The filtered AC current is then converted to DC by a rectifier bridge. After being filtered by a π-type power supply, it passes through a PFC circuit to suppress harmonic currents and improve the power factor. A smoothing circuit is then used to reduce output voltage ripple, while an LLC control circuit adjusts the resonant network to improve output efficiency and stability. The output voltage is precisely adjusted in real time by a feedback circuit to ensure stable output. Additionally, the system includes an independent protection circuit to achieve comprehensive monitoring and safety control of the LLC control circuit.
[0018] Panel section: This section handles human-computer interaction and serves as the direct carrier for user operation control and status monitoring. It mainly includes buttons and a screen. The buttons correspond to different functions of the constant current source, while the screen is used to display relevant data.
[0019] Main control section: It undertakes key functions such as instruction processing, module coordination, external interaction and status management. The main control section receives user operation instructions from the panel, parses the function of the buttons and sends the corresponding control instructions to the subsequent modules, thereby coordinating the cooperation between different modules of the device.
[0020] Relay control section: The key module for current output regulation. After receiving instructions from the main control section, it converts them into control actions for the output section, realizing functions such as switching between different levels and switching the direction of output current.
[0021] Reference section: such as Figure 4 As shown, a high-precision and high-stability reference signal is generated, providing a reference for error comparison and current output regulation, thereby stabilizing the output.
[0022] Output section: such as Figure 5 As shown, based on the coordinated instructions of the main control section, the reference section and the relay control section, the output path is changed by using the on and off control of the relay, and different current levels are adapted through an adjustable resistor network, thereby realizing the different functions corresponding to the buttons and providing a stable current with multiple levels and switchable polarity to the load.
[0023] Sampling section: such as Figure 6 As shown, the sampling section uses precision resistors of different resistance values to achieve current closed-loop control, and collects current signals in real time and transmits them to the error comparison section.
[0024] Error comparison section: such as Figure 7 As shown, the sampled current signal is compared with the reference signal to generate an error adjustment signal. Part of the error adjustment signal is fed back to the conversion circuit to correct the output current deviation, and the other part is sent to the subsequent alarm circuit. The output section, sampling section, and error comparison section together constitute a closed-loop feedback control to stabilize the current output.
[0025] Alarm section: mainly detects abnormal states of the device. If the signal after error comparison exceeds a certain threshold, an alarm will be issued.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model using the disclosed methods and techniques, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of this utility model without departing from its technical solution should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
