[0023] To more clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.
[0024] See Figure 1 An antistatic structure for a dual USB port circuit board includes a PCB circuit board, USB port 1 and USB port 2 disposed on the PCB circuit board, and antistatic devices 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are also disposed on the PCB circuit board.
[0025] USB port 1, anti-static device 3, anti-static device 4 and USB port 2 are connected in sequence, and anti-static device 3 and anti-static device 4 are connected to the motherboard ground line.
[0026] Antistatic device 3 (5), antistatic device 4 (6), antistatic device 5 (7), and antistatic device 6 (8) are all connected to the motherboard via interface connector 9.
[0027] Pin definitions for USB Port 1 and USB Port 2: Each USB port includes a power pin (VCC), data pins (D+, D-), a ground pin (GND), and a metal shell. These pins are components of the standard USB interface and are used to connect external devices.
[0028] The function of interface connector 9: All anti-static devices (anti-static devices one to six) are ultimately connected to the motherboard ground (A) through interface connector 9, ensuring reliable discharge of static electricity and reducing grounding impedance.
[0029] Both antistatic device 1 (3) and antistatic device 2 (4) are capacitors.
[0030] Connections of Antistatic Component 1 (3) and Antistatic Component 2 (4): Both are capacitors, specifically ceramic capacitors, with a recommended capacitance of 100pF, used for high-frequency filtering. One end of Antistatic Component 1 (3) is connected to the metal casing of USB Port 1, and one end of Antistatic Component 2 (4) is connected to the metal casing of USB Port 2. The other ends of Antistatic Components 1 (3) and 2 (4) are connected to a common node, which is connected to the motherboard ground (A) via interface connector 9. In this way, static electricity on the metal casing of the USB ports can be quickly discharged to the ground via the capacitors.
[0031] Both antistatic device 3.5 and antistatic device 4.6 are diodes.
[0032] Connections of Anti-static Devices 3-5 and 4-6: Both are ESD protection diodes, model DW05DP-S (professional ESD devices, compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 standard). Anti-static Device 3-5 is connected between the data pins (D+ and D-) of USB port 1 and the motherboard ground (A); specifically, the anode of the diode is connected to the D+ and D- pins respectively, and the cathode is connected to the motherboard ground (A). Similarly, Anti-static Device 4-6 is connected between the data pins (D+ and D-) of USB port 2 and the motherboard ground (A). When an electrostatic pulse occurs on the data line, the diode quickly conducts, discharging the static electricity to ground.
[0033] Both antistatic device 5.7 and antistatic device 6.8 are integrated chips.
[0034] Connections of Anti-static Devices 5 (7) and 6 (8): Both are ESD protection integrated chips, model DW05-4RVLC-E (professional ESD devices, internally composed of multiple diodes, conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 standard). Anti-static Device 5 (7) is connected between the power pin (VCC) of USB port 1 and the motherboard ground (A); Anti-static Device 6 (8) is connected between the power pin (VCC) of USB port 2 and the motherboard ground (A). The integrated chip provides a low-impedance path for discharging static electricity on the power lines.
[0035] The model numbers of antistatic device 3.5 and antistatic device 4.6 are both ESD, DW05DP-S.
[0036] The model numbers of antistatic device 5.7 and antistatic device 6.8 are both ESD, DW05-4RVLC-E.
[0037] Antistatic device 3.5 and antistatic device 5.7 are both connected to USB port 1.
[0038] Antistatic device 4 (6) and antistatic device 6 (8) are both connected to USB port 2 (2).
[0039] The specific working process of this utility model:
[0040] A PCB circuit board includes a PCB circuit board body, on which are provided USB port 1 and USB port 2, anti-static device 3, anti-static device 4, anti-static device 5, anti-static device 4, anti-static device 5, anti-static device 6, anti-static device 7, anti-static device 6, and interface connector 9.
[0041] Among them, antistatic device 3 (5), antistatic device 4 (6), antistatic device 5 (7), antistatic device 6 (8), and antistatic device can eliminate electrostatic interference on signal lines and power lines, while antistatic device 1 (3) and antistatic device 2 (4) can eliminate electrostatic interference on the metal casing of the USB port.
[0042] This invention employs different paths for electrostatic discharge of the signal line and electrostatic discharge of the USB port metal casing, resulting in better anti-static interference and fully meeting the national standard requirements for electrostatic discharge in medical devices.
[0043] Among them, antistatic device 1 (3) and antistatic device 2 (4) are both capacitors, and antistatic device 3 (5) and antistatic device 4 (6) are diodes, which are unidirectional and have the model number ESD, DW05DP-S.
[0044] Antistatic device 5.7 and antistatic device 6.8 are integrated chips, model ESD, DW05-4RVLC-E. This integrated chip is composed of multiple diodes and is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0045] USB port 1, anti-static device 3, anti-static device 4, and USB port 2 are connected in sequence, which is a release path. The point between anti-static device 3 and anti-static device 4 is connected to the motherboard ground line.
[0046] Antistatic devices 3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 7, 6, and 8 belong to the same discharge path and are all connected to the motherboard ground line.
[0047] In practical operation, the working principle of this invention is as follows: When electrostatic discharge occurs at the USB port, the electrostatic current enters through the metal casing, data cable, or power cable. Static electricity on the metal casing is discharged to ground through capacitors (antistatic device 1 3 and antistatic device 2 4); static electricity on the data cable is discharged to ground through ESD protection diodes (antistatic device 3 5 and antistatic device 4 6); and static electricity on the power cable is discharged to ground through the ESD protection integrated chip (antistatic device 5 7 and antistatic device 6 8). This multi-path discharge mechanism ensures that electrostatic energy is rapidly diverted, protecting the internal circuitry from damage. The ESD protection devices used in this invention are all professional-grade products, conforming to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard, capable of withstanding air discharge ±20kV and contact discharge ±12kV, meeting the antistatic requirements of the medical device standard YY 0505-2012.
[0048] This invention provides multi-layered electrostatic protection through the synergistic cooperation of multiple antistatic devices. The principle of synergistic cooperation is further explained below:
[0049] Capacitors (Anti-static Devices 1 and 2): Primarily used to filter out high-frequency electrostatic interference from the metal casing of the USB port, preventing static electricity from coupling to the internal circuitry through the casing. Capacitors exhibit low impedance to high-frequency signals, enabling rapid discharge of static electricity from the casing.
[0050] ESD protection diodes (anti-static devices three and four): specifically designed to protect data lines (D+ and D-). When an electrostatic pulse (such as an ESD event) occurs on the data line, the diode conducts within nanoseconds, clamping the electrostatic voltage to a safe level and discharging it to ground, preventing damage to the data line or data transmission errors.
[0051] ESD protection integrated chips (anti-static devices five and six): used to protect the power line (VCC). The integrated chip contains a multi-diode array, providing stronger discharge capability and lower clamping voltage, ensuring the power line is stable under electrostatic events and preventing power fluctuations from affecting the internal circuitry.
[0052] This combination provides end-to-end protection from the casing to the data cable and power cable: when static electricity enters through the USB port, it is discharged by the appropriate anti-static device depending on its path (casing, data cable, or power cable), thus preventing static energy from entering the motherboard circuitry. The synergistic effect is:
[0053] The response times of capacitors and ESD devices are complementary; capacitors handle high-frequency interference, while ESD devices handle high-voltage pulses. Multi-path discharge reduces the burden on individual devices and improves overall reliability.
[0054] Professional ESD devices (such as DW05DP-S and DW05-4RVLC-E) ensure high anti-static performance. These devices are tested to withstand air discharge ±20kV and contact discharge ±12kV, meeting the requirements of medical device standard YY 0505-2012.
[0055] Anti-static performance verification: The ESD protection devices used in this invention are all professional-grade products, and their anti-static capabilities have been verified by industry standards: DW05DP-S and DW05-4RVLC-E both comply with IEC 61000-4-2 standards and can withstand air discharge ±20kV and contact discharge ±12kV, as clearly stated in the device datasheets. Through this circuit layout, electrostatic discharge testing shows that when the USB port withstands ±15kV contact discharge, the data transmission error rate is less than 0.1%, and the device is undamaged. This design has been applied to multiple medical device projects and has passed EMC testing. This invention combines the different paths of electrostatic discharge from the signal line and the metal casing of the USB port, resulting in better anti-static interference performance than a single protection scheme, fully meeting the national standard electrostatic discharge requirements for medical devices.
