[0028] In existing technologies, power strips often use relays to control the output of multiple sockets. When the power supply of one of the circuits is abnormal, causing the relay in that circuit to disconnect, it will result in the inability to collect effective power consumption data and low accuracy of power detection.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the power detection circuit of this application. The power detection circuit 10 of this application is applied to a power strip, wherein the power strip includes multiple sockets, and multiple electrical devices can be connected to the mains power through the multiple sockets. In this embodiment, the power strip with two sockets is used as an example for explanation. The connection wires of the power strip include a live wire L and a neutral wire N. The live wire L includes a first live wire branch L1 and a second live wire branch L2. The power supply to the corresponding socket is controlled by controlling the on / off state of the first live wire branch L1 and the second live wire branch L2 through a relay. For example, the first live wire branch L1 and the neutral wire N of the power strip can be connected to a first electrical device through the first socket to supply power to the first electrical device; the second live wire branch L2 and the neutral wire N of the power strip can be connected to a second electrical device through the second socket to supply power to the second electrical device.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the power detection circuit 10 of this embodiment includes a metering circuit 11, a current detection circuit 12, and a voltage detection circuit 13.

[0031] The input terminal of the current detection circuit 12 is connected to the neutral line N, and the output terminal of the current detection circuit 12 is connected to the metering circuit 11 to detect the current of the connecting line so as to output current to the metering circuit 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the input power of the power strip during power supply is obtained by detecting the current of the neutral wire N and the voltage of the live wire L through the metering circuit 11.

[0033] The voltage detection circuit 13 includes a voltage transformer 100. The first input terminal of the voltage transformer 100 is connected to the first live wire branch L1, the second input terminal of the voltage transformer 100 is connected to the second live wire branch L2, and the output terminal of the voltage transformer 100 is connected to the metering circuit 11. The voltage detection circuit 13 is used to detect the voltage of the connecting wire and output voltage to the metering circuit 11. The voltage transformer 100 is used to isolate the voltages of the first live wire branch L1 and the second live wire branch L2, preventing a short circuit in one of the first or second live wire branches from affecting the voltage detection of the other live wire branch and thus the voltage detection efficiency of the connecting wire.

[0034] The metering circuit 11 receives current and voltage, and calculates the input power based on the current and voltage. Optionally, the power detection circuit 10 also includes a control chip connected to the metering circuit 11 to receive the input power received by the metering circuit 11. The control chip converts the input power into electrical energy consumption to obtain the electrical energy consumption of the device. Furthermore, the control chip can also be connected to a display screen to display the input power, electrical energy consumption of the device, etc.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power detection circuit 10 obtains the current of the connecting wire by detecting the current of the neutral wire N, and obtains the voltage of the connecting wire by detecting the voltage of the live wire branch. Then, it calculates the input power and power consumption. Calculating the input power based on the current and voltage of the connecting wire improves the accuracy of power detection. Simultaneously, the voltage transformer 100 isolates the first live wire branch L1 and the second live wire branch L2, preventing a short circuit in either branch from affecting the voltage detection circuit 13's detection of the voltage of the other live wire branch and thus its detection of the connecting wire voltage. This improves the efficiency of the voltage detection circuit 13 in detecting the connecting wire voltage.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the power detection circuit of this application.

[0037] The metering circuit 11 includes a processing chip 107, which includes a voltage receiving port V3P, a first current receiving port V1P, a second current receiving port V1N, a data receiving port RX, a data transmitting port TX, a reference voltage port VREF, a ground port GND, and a power supply port VDD. The processing chip 107 communicates measurement data with the control chip via the data receiving port RX and the data transmitting port TX.

[0038] The voltage transformer 100 includes a first primary winding 101, a second primary winding 102, and a secondary winding 103. The first end of the first primary winding 101 and the first end of the second primary winding 102 are connected to the neutral line N. The second end of the first primary winding 101 is connected to the first live wire branch L1. The second end of the second primary winding 102 is connected to the second live wire branch L2. The first end of the secondary winding 103 is grounded, and the second end of the secondary winding 103 is connected to the metering circuit 11.

[0039] The second end of the first primary winding 101 is also the first input end of the voltage transformer 100 mentioned above, and the second end of the second primary winding 102 is also the second input end of the voltage transformer 100 mentioned above.

[0040] The voltage transformer 100 has a primary winding comprising a first primary winding 101 and a second primary winding 102. It is understood that in other embodiments, if the connector wires include multiple live wire branches, the voltage transformer 100 includes multiple primary windings, with each primary winding corresponding to one of the multiple live wire branches.

[0041] Specifically, the voltage change in the first live wire branch L1 affects the magnetic flux of the core of the voltage transformer 100 through the first primary winding 101, thereby affecting the output voltage of the secondary winding 103. The voltage change in the second live wire branch L2 affects the magnetic flux of the core of the voltage transformer 100 through the second primary winding 102, thereby affecting the output voltage of the secondary winding 103.

[0042] The first primary winding 101 and the second primary winding 102 of the voltage transformer 100 can isolate the voltage of the first live wire branch L1 and the second live wire branch L2, preventing the first live wire branch L1 and the second live wire branch L2 from short-circuiting.

[0043] Even when a power supply failure occurs in one of the power supply lines, the live wire voltage can still be effectively detected. The voltage transformer 100 can accurately capture voltage changes in the live wire L, thereby improving the accuracy of the voltage detection circuit 13 in detecting the live wire voltage and thus improving the accuracy of power consumption detection. Furthermore, when the power strip has multiple outlets, by increasing the number of primary windings in the voltage transformer 100 while keeping the secondary windings unchanged, the power consumption of multiple outlets can be detected, further improving the accuracy of power consumption detection.

[0044] The voltage detection circuit 13 also includes a first voltage divider circuit 104, a second voltage divider circuit 105, and a first filter circuit 106. One end of the first voltage divider circuit 104 is connected to the first live wire branch L1, and the other end of the first voltage divider circuit 104 is connected to the second end of the first primary winding 101. One end of the second voltage divider circuit 105 is connected to the second live wire branch L2, and the other end of the second voltage divider circuit 105 is connected to the second end of the second primary winding 102. The second end of the secondary winding 103 is connected to the metering circuit 11 through the first filter circuit 106.

[0045] The first voltage divider circuit 104 includes multiple resistors connected in series, used to divide and sample the voltage of the first live wire branch L1.

[0046] The first filter circuit 106 includes a voltage divider resistor 1061 and a filter capacitor 1062. The first end of the voltage divider resistor 1061 is connected to the second end of the secondary winding 103, and the second end of the voltage divider resistor 1061 is grounded. The filter capacitor 1062 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the voltage divider resistor 1061.

[0047] The current detection circuit 12 includes a sampling resistor 108 and a second filter circuit 109. The sampling resistor 108 is connected in series with the neutral line N. The second filter circuit 109 is connected in parallel with the sampling resistor 108. The first output terminal of the second filter circuit 109 and the second output terminal of the second filter circuit 109 are connected to the metering circuit 11.

[0048] The sampling resistor 108 can be a manganin resistor. The smaller resistance value of the sampling resistor 108 improves the accuracy of neutral current detection. For example, the resistance value of the sampling resistor 108 can be 1 milliohm, 10 milliohm, or 100 milliohm.

[0049] The second filter circuit 109 includes a first resistor 1091, a second resistor 1092, a first capacitor 1093, and a second capacitor 1094. The first terminal of the first resistor 1091 is connected to the first terminal of the sampling resistor 108, and the second terminal of the first resistor 1091 is grounded through the first capacitor 1093. The first terminal of the second resistor 1092 is connected to the second terminal of the sampling resistor 108, and the second terminal of the second resistor 1092 is grounded through the second capacitor 1094. The second terminal of the first resistor 1091 serves as the first output terminal of the second filter circuit 109, and the second terminal of the second resistor 1092 serves as the second output terminal of the second filter circuit 109.

[0050] The second filter circuit 109 is used to eliminate interference signals, which can improve the reliability, accuracy and security of the acquired voltage data.

[0051] Specifically, the voltage receiving port V3P of the processing chip 107 is connected to the second end of the secondary winding 103 for receiving voltage. The first current receiving port V1P is connected to the first output terminal of the second filter circuit 109, and the second current receiving port V1N is connected to the second output terminal of the second filter circuit 109. The first current receiving port V1P and the second current receiving port V1N are used to receive current.

[0053] As mentioned above, after receiving the voltage transmitted by the voltage detection circuit 13 and the current transmitted by the current detection circuit 12, the processing chip 107 can calculate the input power based on the voltage and current. Then, the processing chip 107 can transmit the input power to the control chip through the isolation circuit 14. The control chip can perform data conversion on the input power and convert the input power into the power consumption of the electrical equipment.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2, the isolation circuit 14 includes a first isolation circuit 110 and a second isolation circuit 111.

The second isolation circuit 111 is connected to the processing chip 107 and the control chip, and is used to receive the feedback signal from the control chip and output the feedback signal to the metering circuit 11.

[0055] Specifically, the first isolation circuit 110 transmits the input power output by the processing chip 107 to the control chip. After the control chip receives the input power transmitted by the first isolation circuit 110, it sends a feedback signal to the second isolation circuit 111 to indicate that the input power has been received.
