The junction of output pin 4 and capacitor C105 is connected to the output status port (PFCOK). A high level at PFCOK indicates an abnormality, while a low level indicates normal operation. The output status port PFCOK is connected to the PFCOK interface of control module 6.

[0053] The first filter module 2 and the second filter module 4 are connected to the two ends of the PFC power supply U100, respectively. This two-stage filtering setup improves power supply stability, suppresses electromagnetic interference, and enhances the compatibility of electronic products. The second filter module 42, composed of electrolytic capacitors and inductors, is used to filter ripple, prevent surges, protect the circuit, and regulate voltage and reduce noise. In the PFC module 3, a GQPF350-390IN is sampled. The main function of this module is to reduce electromagnetic interference, improve the power factor, and thus increase energy efficiency.

[0054] As shown in Figure 8, the DC-DC module 5 includes a DC-DC unit 51 and a voltage regulator and filter circuit 52 connected in sequence. The entire DC-DC module 5 outputs a final 24V voltage after passing through the voltage regulator and filter circuit 52. The main function of the DC-DC module 5 is to convert a 300V DC voltage into a 24V DC voltage.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9, the input terminal of DC-DC unit 51 is connected to the output terminal of second filter module 4, and capacitor C111 is connected between positive and negative voltages.

[0056] At the input of DC-DC power supply U103, pins +VIN and -VIN receive the aforementioned positive and negative voltages, respectively. Three parts are connected in parallel between the common-mode inductor L104 and the positive and negative voltage transmission lines of DC-DC power supply U103: the first part is capacitor C112, the second part is capacitors CY108 and CY109 connected in series, and the third part is electrolytic capacitor C109. Pin RC of DC-DC power supply U103 is connected to pin 4 of optocoupler U104 via resistor R115, and also to pin 3 of optocoupler U104 via capacitor C114.

Pins 1 and 2 of optocoupler U104 are connected to the two ends of capacitor C115, and pin 1 is also connected to 3.3VS via resistor R113. Pin 2 is also grounded. The junction of resistor R113 and capacitor C115 is connected to the start control port (i.e., 5V ON / OFF), which is connected to the 5V ON / OFF interface of control module 6.

[0057] At the output of the DC-DC power supply U103, pins +VOUT and -VOUT output positive and negative voltages respectively. Pin -VOUT is connected to the negative output of common-mode inductor L104 and grounded, while pin +VOUT outputs 24V. Pin +SENSE is connected to pin -SENSE via resistors R108, RV200, and R109 in sequence. Pin Trim is connected to pin -SENSE via capacitor C, and also connected between resistors R108 and R109. The intersection of pin Trim, resistors R108 and R109 forms the trim control port TRIM1. The output of pin -SENSE is the voltage return path point, and the output of pin +SENSE is the remote compensation external interface. The aforementioned pins +SENSE, Trim, and -SENSE, along with related circuit connections, are used for both remote voltage compensation and output voltage detection, working together to ensure stable output voltage.

[0058] As shown in Figure 10, the positive and negative inputs of the voltage regulator and filter circuit 52 are connected to the +VOUT and -VOUT pins of the DC-DC power supply U103, respectively. After the four parts are connected in parallel, the positive terminal of the voltage regulator and filter circuit 52 outputs a 24V voltage, and the negative terminal is grounded. The four parts connected in parallel in the middle include: capacitors CY106 and CY110 connected in series, a separate electrolytic capacitor C110, a separate electrolytic capacitor C108, and capacitors CY107 and CY111 connected in series.

[0059] In addition, a sensing resistor for sampling is set on the output pin -VOUT of the DC-DC power supply U103. The two ends of the sensing resistor are the current sensing points I_V1- and I_V1+. Resistor R110 is connected to the negative voltage output line, and resistor R112 is connected in parallel across its ends. Resistor R112 is connected to a cooling resistor R114.

Specifically, the detection module 7 uses the current sampling circuit for current detection, the voltage sampling circuit for voltage detection, and the over-temperature protection circuit for temperature detection. This module is mainly used to monitor changes in current, voltage, and temperature during power supply operation, ensuring stable operation of the switching power supply and improving system safety and reliability. The combined use of the voltage sampling circuit, current sampling circuit, and control module 6 effectively improves the power supply's transient response capability.

The output terminal of amplifier U801 (i.e., pin 1) is connected to the second part of the structure through resistors R805~R807.

[0064] As shown in Figure 14, the second part includes two amplifiers, U802 and U803 (i.e., the second amplifier and the third amplifier). The input terminals of amplifiers U802 and U803 are connected to the output terminal of amplifier U801, respectively.

The input terminals (BUS+ and BUS-) of the auxiliary power supply M201 are connected to the input terminals of the DC-DC module 5, and the positive input is connected to the +VIN pin of the auxiliary power supply M201 through an inductor L200. The negative input is connected to the 12V interface of the auxiliary power supply M201. The input terminals also include capacitors C213 and C214 connected between the positive and negative inputs, and resistors R204 and R205, and capacitors C223, C224, and C219 connected in parallel on the negative input line.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 20-22, the switching power supply device provided by the present invention further includes a fan drive circuit, a fan speed control circuit, and a fan control circuit. Part (a) of Figure 20 shows the input structure of the fan drive circuit, and part (b) shows its output structure. The input terminal of the fan drive circuit is connected to the input terminal of the DC-DC module 5, and the output terminal (12V) is connected to the corresponding interfaces of the fan speed control circuit and the fan control circuit. The fan control terminal CTRLFAN of the fan control circuit is connected to the CTRLFAN of the fan speed control circuit. Both the fan drive circuit and the fan speed control circuit include a PWM signal control interface, namely the fan speed control terminal FANPMW, which is connected to pin PA4 of the controller U300. This pin outputs a PWM control signal, mainly used to control the fan speed, thereby adjusting the heat dissipation effect and improving the thermal management capability of the power supply.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG23, the switching power supply device provided by the present invention further includes an indicator light circuit. The indicator light switch interface LED ON of the circuit is connected to pin PA2 of the controller U300 to receive control signals. When the interface LED ON is high level, the indicator light is on, and when it is low level, the indicator light is off.

[0074] The working principle of the switching power supply device for a computer interlocking system provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] In a computer-controlled interlocking system, after the controllable coding unit powers on, it first initializes the system parameters and various external interfaces, periodically acquires CAN communication handshake signals, and when the host sends an encoded signal via the CAN bus, the controllable coding unit promptly updates the encoded information and replies with a configuration success message. The PC control terminal adjusts the FSK signal output according to the strength of the signal sent by the controllable coding unit, and the controllable coding unit also replies with a configuration success message to the host upon successful configuration. The host can query the operating status, configuration data, and alarm information of the controllable coding unit as needed.

[0076] After the switching power supply is powered on, the input port has a protection module 1 (including a fuse and a varistor), a first filter module 2, a PFC module 3, and a second filter module 4. The fuse provides overcurrent protection; when the current exceeds the rated value, the fuse will disconnect the circuit, protecting downstream circuit components from damage. The varistor is mainly used to absorb instantaneous energy pulses, such as lightning and surges, to protect the circuit from overvoltage damage. The filter module is used to filter out high-frequency noise and interference in the power supply, improving its purity. Two-stage filtering provides better filtering performance, ensuring power quality at the rectifier module input, and the PFC module 3 further improves the power factor, ultimately converting the 220V AC voltage to 300V DC voltage.

[0077] DC-DC module 5 converts 300V DC voltage to 24V DC voltage. Control module 6 controls DC-DC module 5 based on inputs from the external interface and detection inputs from detection module 7.

[0078] The remote switch control circuit receives the external input signal "remote switch" and transmits it to the microcontroller control circuit. The microcontroller control circuit responds and can switch the DC-DC module 5 on or off via the "start control" signal. At the same time, when the temperature protection circuit, voltage sampling circuit, and current sampling circuit detect that the input temperature, voltage, and current input signals exceed the rated values, the microcontroller control circuit responds and outputs the corresponding control signal to shut down the DC-DC module 5.

[0079] In addition, the "remote compensation" external interface of DC-DC module 5 can receive remote control signals to realize remote sensing function, which is used to compensate for the voltage drop of the wiring from the output terminal to the load terminal.

[0080] When multiple DC-DC modules 5 are connected in parallel, the "current sharing control" external interface +5V_SHARE of the current sampling circuit receives and responds to the external current sharing control signal. At the same time, it is connected to the corresponding interface of the control module 6 through the current sampling port Iout1. The "current sharing control" port +5V_SHARE adjusts the output through the operational amplifier comparison feedback circuit, thereby adjusting the output of the DC-DC module 5 in real time.

[0081] When the temperature exceeds the limit, the control module 6 first increases the fan speed through the fan drive circuit, fan speed regulation circuit and fan control circuit to dissipate heat. If the temperature still exceeds the rated value when the fan speed reaches the maximum value, the DC-DC module 5 is shut down.

[0082] In summary, this invention simultaneously provides output short-circuit protection, output overvoltage protection, output overload protection, overtemperature protection, low output voltage detection, remote sensing, parallel current sharing control, and remote switching control. In practical applications, the switching power supply device provided by this invention can achieve a 300Ω output, an output efficiency of no less than 85%, and a size of less than 165mm × 82mm × 61mm, while simultaneously meeting the requirements of high output power, high conversion efficiency, and compact circuit structure.

Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
