The operation of above circuit will be described now.
First suppose that electric connecting device plug is inserted in the electrical connector 14 and 16 of socket 12 and electric connecting device is switched on.
From the main line of wall or power supply 50, thermocurrent H is fed to incoming line 52, it arrives circuit 56 through the first transformer 54 and then arrives the contact C1 of relay 58.This thermocurrent H is fed to infrared lamp 28 and arrives neon lamp 24 by resistor 32.Now, the neutral point N come from from the main line of wall at incoming line 60 place is supplied to the first loop coil 54 and is wound around six times around the first loop coil 54, and then leave at circuit 62 place, described circuit 62 is connected with circuit 64 and is connected to the neutral spill electrical connector 16 of socket 12.
Because electric connecting device plug is inserted in electrical connector 14 and 16, so hot spill electrical connector 14 is connected to neutral point by neutral spill electrical connector 16, and as a result, neutral current is supplied to circuit 70 and is fed to contact C2 thus.At this time durations, relay 58 is opened and contact C1 and C2 is free of attachment to each other.Neutral current is also supplied to resistor 30 and 34.As a result, all lamps 22,24,26 and 28 are lighted, that is, because there is thermocurrent at the contact C1 side place of bulb/IR transistor component 21 and there is neutral current at the contact C2 side place of bulb/IR transistor component 21.
Because infrared lamp 28 is lighted, so required infrared signal is supplied to the base stage of the infrared crystal pipe 40 of connection by this, electric current is made to flow to its collector electrode 44 from emitter 42.
Now, the thermocurrent H from main line is also supplied by capacitor 164, diode bridge 166, electrolytic capacitor 170 and Zener diode 174 and 176 so that voltage is reduced to less level, such as about 20 volts.This low-voltage is supplied to the side L12 of main relay 58 and is then fed to the emitter of infrared crystal pipe 40 by resistor 210 and 212.Then this low-voltage is passed to the collector electrode of the infrared crystal pipe 40 connected by infrared lamp 28, and directly supplied, and via resistor 83,84,86,92, capacitor 88 and 90 and Zener diode 102 and 104 and be fed to the input numbering 2 and 3 of operational amplifier 76, the output numbering 1 of described operational amplifier 76 is fed to the positive input numbering 5 of operational amplifier 78.Low-voltage is also fed to the negative input numbering 6 of operational amplifier 78 by resistor 114,118 and 120 and diode 110 and 122.As a result, positive current is fed to the base stage of transistor 106 by the output numbering 7 of operational amplifier 78 by resistor 140,146 and 152, diode 142 and 144 and capacitor 150, this causes transistor 148 to be connected.As a result, the other end L13 of main relay 58 is in neutrality or negative, because afterbody or the negative terminal of the Zener diode 174 of close main line are connected to the other end L13 of main relay 58 by the collector electrode-emitter path of transistor 106, and therefore main relay 58 activated to cut out contact C1 and C2 by contact C3.
Now, the thermocurrent H at contact C1 place is also connected to contact C2 and makes the both sides of bulb/IR transistor component 21 all be supplied with thermocurrent H now, and bulb thus/IR transistor component 21 turns off, and lamp 22,24,26 and 28 is no longer lighted.This means that IR transistor 40 also turns off and its emitter-collector path is closed.
Now, because bulb/IR transistor component 21 turns off, so do not have electric current to flow through the emitter-collector path of IR transistor 40, and therefore there is not the electric current from this path to operational amplifier 76 and 78.But, because contact C1 and C2 closes, so provide small area analysis at output winding 94 place of transformer 54, and especially, at circuit 98 place, its via resistor 83,84,91,92, capacitor 88 and 90 and Zener diode 102 and 104 be fed to the input numbering 2 and 3 of operational amplifier 76.As a result, the winding 94 of transformer 54 is replaced now and is supplied operating current to operational amplifier 76 and 78 so that the positive input maintained to transistor 106 is to maintain on-state by transistor 106, makes contact C1 and C2 maintain closedown.Therefore, the first transformer 54 holding circuit is connected, thermocurrent H is fed to hot spill electrical connector 14 when bulb/IR transistor component 21 turns off.
Now, the thermocurrent from contact C2 is supplied to circuit 70 and is then fed to the hot spill electrical connector 14 of socket 12.As a result, total power be supplied to electric connecting device for operating it.
And now, due to there is circuit 64 and 70 place electric current between balance, so there is not power stage at secondary winding 96 place of transformer 66.This means do not have electric current to be fed to operational amplifier 80 and 82.
