Can understand best these and other features of the present disclosure from hereinafter specification and accompanying drawing, be hereinafter concise and to the point description.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 has schematically shown power circuit and the short-circuit detecting scheme for the electrical system with the stand-by power supply of advocating peace.
Fig. 2 is that diagram is for detection of the flow chart of the method for the short circuit in the high-current pulse power-supply system.
Embodiment
Some electrical systems are moved with the current impulse of high magnitude.In these systems, the short circuit current of expection can be lower than the value of high magnitude current impulse.When the electric current of expectation has magnitude of pulses over prospective short circuit current, the short-circuit detecting that known short-circuit detecting circuit can lead to errors.
Fig. 1 has schematically shown high-current pulse power circuit 100.Power circuit 100 comprises main power source 110 and pair (standby) power supply 120.Each in power supply 110,120 has the output power line 112,122 and can be the power supply of any known type of corresponding switch circuit of being connected to 130.In an example, each in power supply 110,120 is one or more batteries.With output power line 112,122 and the combination of switching circuit 130 be called power channels 116,126.Each in switching circuit 130 can be connected to the output power line 112,122 of correspondence the bearing power input 142 that power is provided to load 140.Switching circuit 130 is controlled by switch driver 150, and this switch driver 150 is then by microcontroller 160(alternately, is called controller 160) control.Electric current current sensor 170 monitoring flow into load 140 in bearing power input 142 in, and provide control signal 172 to microcontroller 160, thus provide to microcontroller 160 value that flows into the electric current in load 140.Each in power supply 110,120 also comprises the control connection 114,124 with microcontroller 160.Control connection 114,124 allows the power supply statistics of controller 160 detection such as dump powers.Controller 160 can also be controlled from power supply 110,120 power stage.
In standard operation, each power supply 110,120 is connected to load 140 via power channels 116,126.Switching device 130 in each power channels 116,126 is configured so that it can interrupt output power line 112,122.Each in power supply 110,120 is connected to bearing power input 142 by its corresponding power channels 116,126, thereby allows controller 160 with any power supply 110,120 isolation with short trouble.
When load 140 needs periodic high current loads spike (spike) to be used for normal running, standard short-circuit detecting technology will report an error to each current spike pulse mistakenly, and be therefore unsuitable.Instead, the controller shown in Fig. 1 160 utilizes current sensor 170 and a pair of current threshold to determine when and has short circuit.In the mode of example, current sensor 170 can be Hall effect transducer.
Whether value and definite this electric current that current sensor 170 detection bearing powers are inputted the electric current at 142 places surpass the current magnitude threshold value.This current magnitude Threshold is the short-circuit output current of expection, and as long as surpasses the short-circuit output current of this expection just report an error (trip).When surpassing the current magnitude threshold value, controller 160 determines how long surpass this current magnitude threshold value, and will be over duration and the overload current duration threshold of current magnitude threshold value.When current magnitude threshold value and duration threshold value all were exceeded, controller 160 determined to exist short trouble.Like this, controller 160 can with surpass power supply 110,120 prospective short circuit current expectation the high current loads spike with by power supply 110,120 or load 140 in the continuous fault electric current difference that causes of short circuit come.
By current sensor 170 being positioned at the load input, no matter current which power supply 110,120 is providing power to load 140, controller 160 all aligns the load current that is in operation and detects.In any system that comes with single power supply at the appointed time to power for load 140, this configuration all allows to control all power supplys 110,120 with single current sensor 170.Alternately, current sensor 170 can be positioned at each place in power supply output 112,122, and controller 160 has the nonshared control unit input for each current sensor 170.
In the example of Fig. 1, controller 160 is the microcontrollers able to programme with computer-readable medium, and this computer-readable medium can be stored for the instruction of carrying out hereinafter the method for describing about Fig. 2.This microcontroller 160 able to programme allows the user to revise electric current and duration threshold value based on the power demand of the load 140 that connects.If replace power supply 110,120 with substitute electric power (alternate power supply), if perhaps the bearing power of expectation distribution (profile) changes, Programmable Logic Controller allows to use identical control program.In the mode of example, if initial load needs the distribution of high electric current, extremely short pulse, controller 160 is programmed for and has high current magnitude threshold value and extremely low duration threshold value.Alternately, if load need to have the distribution of high electric current, moderate-length pulse, controller 160 is programmed for the duration threshold value with high current threshold and moderate-length.
Switching mechanism 130 shown in Fig. 1 can be any known switching device, and they can be with power supply 110, the 120 electricity isolation that connect.Exemplary switching device 130 is diode and MOSFET(mos field effect transistor) array, its according to known principle configuration to form MOSFET/ double diode array switch.This MOSFET/ double diode array receives or high or low control inputs from switch gate driver 150.High input is placed in " on " pattern with this array and being connected between power supply output 112,122 and input load power 142 is provided.Low input is placed in this array with power supply output 112,122 and electric " off " state of isolating of input load power 142.Be understood that by increasing additional switch 130 and master or the stand-by power supply that adds can be increased to high-current pulse power circuit 100, and each switch 130 is controlled the connection of an additional master or stand-by power supply.In addition, be understood that the switching device of other types also can use similar control program operation, and within dropping on the disclosure.
Fig. 2 has schematically shown and has been used for the short-circuit detecting of application drawing 1 and the method 200 of protection scheme.At first method 200 140 provides power from main power source 110 to load in " providing power to load " step 210.In " detecting the input load electric current " step 220, the input load electric current measured by current sensor 170 and this measures electric current to controller 160 reports.Then in " input current surpasses threshold value? " in step 230, controller 160 determines whether this input load electric current surpasses scheduled current value threshold value.If do not surpass the current magnitude threshold value, the method restarts with " providing power to load " step 210.
If surpassed the current magnitude threshold value, in " startup duration counter " step 240, controller 160 starts duration counter.This duration counter can be to determine the input load electric current has surpassed current magnitude threshold value software counter how long.In " duration surpasses threshold value? " in step 250, controller 160 checks to judge whether the duration has surpassed overload current duration threshold value.If surpass this overload current duration threshold value, in " no longer surpassing the current magnitude threshold value? " in step 260, controller 160 determines whether still to surpass this current threshold.If no longer surpass the current magnitude threshold value, controller 160 restarts the method in " providing power to load " step 210.Temporary transient surpass the current magnitude threshold value, but the state that does not surpass overload current duration threshold value shows the high-current pulse with expectation, but not short trouble.
If still surpass the current magnitude threshold value, controller 160 continue to determine the duration of overload currents and turn back to " duration surpasses the current duration threshold value? " step 250." if the duration surpasses overload current duration threshold value? " step 250 determines that the duration of overload current has surpassed overload current duration threshold value, in " determining to exist short trouble " step 270, controller 160 is determined to have short trouble in power supply 110.
In case short trouble detected, in " power supply that isolation connects " step 280, controller 160 is just isolated main power source 110 and is used the process of above describing about Fig. 1 that stand-by power supply 120 is connected to input load power 142.Then in " connection stand-by power supply " step 290, controller 160 is connected to load 140 with stand-by power supply 120.Alternately, if when short trouble being detected, current connection be stand-by power supply 120, controller 160 can switch to main power source 110, perhaps with power supply 110,120 and load 140 isolate fully.
Be understood that those of skill in the art can reconfigure said method to adapt to the single load of a plurality of power supplys that have except main power source and stand-by power supply.
Although disclose example, what those skilled in the art will be familiar with is that specific modification will drop in the scope of the present disclosure.For this reason, reply claim hereinafter studies to determine true scope of the present disclosure and content.
