Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. The invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
In a switching power supply, such as an electric meter switching power supply, a three-phase conversion circuit and a linear voltage stabilizing circuit are generally included. The three-phase conversion circuit is used for receiving the power grid voltage and outputting a first voltage signal after converting the received power grid voltage; the linear voltage stabilizing circuit is connected with the output end of the three-phase conversion circuit and used for receiving the first voltage signal and outputting a preset second voltage signal according to the first voltage signal.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional three-phase converter circuit. The three-phase conversion circuit includes: three-phase rectifier circuit 1, filter capacitance CX1 and common mode inductance LF 1. The three-phase rectification circuit 1 is respectively connected with the first phase input end L1, the second phase input end L2, the third phase input end L3 and the neutral line input end N to perform three-phase rectification on the grid voltage input from the first phase input end L1, the second phase input end L2, the third phase input end L3 and the neutral line input end N. The rectified voltage is converted into a first voltage signal Vdc after being filtered by the filter capacitor CX1 and the common mode inductor LF1, and the first voltage signal Vdc is output from the output end of the three-phase conversion circuit.
In fig. 1, wire-wound resistors RX1, RX2, and RX3 are further respectively connected in series between each of the first phase input end L1, the second phase input end L2, and the third phase input end L3 and the three-phase rectification circuit 1, a wire-wound resistor RX4 is further connected in series between the common mode inductor LF1 and one of the output ends of the three-phase conversion circuit, the wire-wound resistors are used for limiting current in the three-phase conversion circuit, and meanwhile, piezoresistors RV1, RV2, and RV3 are further respectively connected between each of the first phase input end L1, the second phase input end L2, and the third phase input end L3 and the neutral input end N.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a conventional linear voltage regulator circuit. The linear voltage regulator circuit includes a clamp chip controller U1 having a power switch transistor Q1, and the power switch transistor Q1 is connected at the low end of the load output. When the input voltage Vdc of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit is higher than the set voltage, the clamp chip controller U1 adjusts the driving voltage of the power switch tube Q1 through an internal circuit, so that the power switch tube Q1 is in a linear region, and when the input voltage Vdc is higher, the control end voltage of the power switch tube Q1 is lower, the voltage between the drain and the source of the power switch tube Q1 is higher, thereby ensuring the stability of the output voltage Vout.
After the above fig. 1 and fig. 2 are matched, that is, a structure of a conventional electric meter switching power supply is obtained, in which the wire-wound resistors RX1, RX2, RX3 and RX4, and the voltage dependent resistors RV1, RV2 and RV3, which are provided in the three-phase conversion circuit shown in fig. 1, can jointly implement a surge protection function of the switching power supply. However, in order to meet the ideal surge protection requirement of the conventional switching power supply, the three-phase rectifier circuit 1 is provided with wire-wound resistors for surge protection before and after rectification, which may further result in large loop impedance of the circuit and affect the working efficiency of the switching power supply, and especially under the condition of low-voltage input, the efficiency is affected more obviously. Meanwhile, the large loop impedance also influences the loading capacity of the switching power supply when low voltage is input.
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention respectively optimizes and improves the three-phase conversion circuit and the linear voltage stabilizing circuit in the switching power supply, and the improved switching power supply can meet the requirement of high surge protection and simultaneously reduce the impedance in a loop, thereby improving the working efficiency and the output load capacity of the power supply at low voltage input.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a three-phase conversion circuit in the switching power supply according to the embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the three-phase conversion circuit shown in fig. 1, the winding resistors RX1, RX2, and RX3 respectively connected in series between each of the first phase input terminal L1, the second phase input terminal L2, and the third phase input terminal L3 and the three-phase rectification circuit 1 in the three-phase conversion circuit 10 in this embodiment are replaced by the first winding resistor RX11, the second winding resistor RX21, and the third winding resistor RX31, wherein the impedances of the first winding resistor RX11, the second winding resistor RX21, and the third winding resistor RX31 are all smaller than the impedances of the winding resistors RX1, RX2, and RX 3. Meanwhile, the wire-wound resistor RX4 connected in series between the common mode inductor LF1 and one of the output ends of the three-phase conversion circuit is eliminated, so that the optimized three-phase conversion circuit greatly reduces the loop impedance, and improves the output load capacity of a power supply at low-voltage input.
For example, if the resistances of the winding resistors RX1, RX2, and RX3 in fig. 1 are all 22 ohms, and the resistance of the winding resistor RX4 in fig. 1 is 47 ohms, the resistances of the first winding resistor RX11, the second winding resistor RX21, and the third winding resistor RX31 in the optimized three-phase transformation circuit of the present invention may all be reduced to 10 ohms, that is, the loop impedance in the optimized three-phase transformation circuit of the present invention may be changed from 91 ohms to 20 ohms, which is only lower than 1/4 ohms.
Meanwhile, the invention also provides a linear voltage stabilizing circuit in the switching power supply matched with the circuit shown in the figure 3, the linear voltage stabilizing circuit is connected with an inductor in series in an output loop, so that the change rate of current in the loop can be reduced when the circuit generates surge current, the surge current is slowly increased, the sampling resistor samples the current in the loop and triggers the voltage regulating circuit to control the grid voltage of the power switch tube so as to control the working state of the power switch tube (at least including pulling down the grid voltage of the power switch tube so as to enable the power switch tube to work in a switching mode), and further, the current in the output loop is reduced, so that the linear voltage stabilizing circuit can also have the surge current protection function, and the problem that the surge protection capability of the switching power supply is reduced due to the reduction of the total resistance value of the surge protection resistor in fig. 3 is solved. In addition, because the impedance of the inductor is relatively low, the switching power supply based on the technical scheme of the invention can effectively meet the high surge protection requirement while reducing the loop impedance, and improves the working efficiency and the output load capacity of the power supply during low-voltage input.

The power supply unit 23 receives the input voltage Vdc of the linear voltage regulator circuit 20, and is configured to provide a power supply voltage for the chip U1 (including the driving control circuit and the power switch Q1) according to the input voltage Vdc.

The specific working principle of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit 20 provided by the invention is as follows:
when a large surge current occurs in a loop of a circuit due to lightning strike, the surge current generates a large voltage across the sampling resistor Rs1, but due to the existence of the first clamping unit 21, the maximum voltage across the sampling resistor Rs1 can be clamped to about 1.4V, and the sampling resistor Rs1 and the bipolar transistor Q2 can be protected from being damaged. Meanwhile, because the inductor L1 is connected in series in the loop of the circuit, the surge current in the loop can be only slowly increased based on the principle that the inductor current cannot be suddenly changed. As the current in the loop increases, the voltage across the sampling resistor Rs1 also gradually begins to increase, when it increases to a certain extent, for example, when the current on the sampling resistor Rs1 satisfies IlimitWhen the value is approximately equal to 0.7V/Rs1, current starts to flow to the base of the bipolar transistor Q2 through the seventh resistor R7, and the current flowing to the base of the bipolar transistor Q2 also continuously increases along with the increase of surge current in the loop. At this time, based on the connection relationship between the bipolar transistor Q2 and the power switch Q1, the voltage of the gate of the power switch Q1 is gradually pulled down by the bipolar transistor Q2, so that the power switch Q1 is gradually turned off. When the power switch tube Q1 is turned off, the voltage at the common node where the drain of the power switch tube Q1 is connected with the inductor L1 starts to gradually increase, and when the voltage increases to be higher than the voltage-dependent voltage of the voltage-dependent resistor RV4, the voltage-dependent resistor RV4 starts to act, so that at least part of surge energy of surge current is consumed from the path of the voltage-dependent resistor RV 4. In other words, the highest voltage between the drain and the source of the power switch Q1 can be clamped by the varistor RV4, thereby protecting the power switch Q1 from being damaged by large voltage stress.
Meanwhile, after the power switch tube Q1 is turned off, the current in the loop starts to decrease, the voltage at the two ends of the sampling resistor Rs1 also decreases, and the current on the base of the bipolar transistor Q2 also starts to decrease gradually, so that the pull-down degree of the gate voltage of the power switch tube Q1 by the bipolar transistor Q2 starts to decrease, the power switch tube Q1 starts to gradually exit the off state, the current in the loop starts to increase, and the power switch tube Q1 forms a switching oscillation with a certain frequency to gradually discharge surge energy. If surge energy is generated within 8/20us of standard lightning stroke, the switch oscillation mode can prolong the energy release time of surge current in the loop to hundreds or even thousands of microseconds, greatly weakens the surge energy in the loop within unit time, reduces the stress of devices, further protects the devices in the circuit from being damaged, and achieves the purpose of reducing the surge current in the loop.
On the other hand, referring to fig. 2, when the conventional linear voltage regulator circuit is used for single-phase low-voltage input, especially when the voltage is supplied by only depending on the resistor R11 at an ac input lower than 36V, the voltage supplied to the power supply terminal VCC of the chip U1 at the bottom of the sine wave is lower, and it is difficult to ensure the fully-on state of the power switch Q1, because of the shortage of VCC power supply, the power switch Q1 is in a linear state at this time, and then a large voltage drop occurs between the drain and source terminals, which affects the load carrying capability of the subsequent output of the circuit. Based on this, referring to fig. 4, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the second zener diode ZV2, the third resistor R3 and the second capacitor C4 are added in the power supply unit 23, so that in a sine wave period, at the time of a voltage peak, the input voltage Vdc can supply power to the chip U1 through the second zener diode ZV2, and at the same time, the second capacitor C4 can be charged through the third resistor R3, and at the time of a voltage valley, the power supply terminal VCC of the chip U1 can be discharged through the third resistor R3 by the second capacitor C4. Therefore, the lowest voltage of the power supply terminal VCC of the chip U1 is raised, so that the power switch tube Q1 can have enough voltage to be completely conducted even at the valley bottom of the sine wave, the voltage drop between the drain and the source of the power switch tube Q1 is reduced, and the output load capacity of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit and the switching power supply in low voltage is improved.
Referring to fig. 5, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit 23 is further configured to provide a driving level to the power switch Q1 in addition to supplying power to the chip U1, so that the power switch Q1 can operate normally after the circuit 20 is started. Meanwhile, based on the circuit structure of the power supply unit 23 in the second embodiment shown in fig. 5, the number of pins of the chip U1 in this embodiment can be reduced, which is helpful for reducing the manufacturing cost of the chip U1.
Further, the linear voltage regulating circuit 20 of the present invention further includes a feedback unit 24 connected between the drain of the power switch Q1 and the base of the bipolar transistor Q2. When an inrush current occurs in the circuit, the feedback unit 24 can perform current positive feedback on the base of the bipolar transistor Q2 based on the inductor L1. When a large surge current occurs in the circuit due to a lightning strike, based on the above description of the operating principle of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit 20, after the voltage of the gate of the linear power transistor Q1 is gradually pulled down by the bipolar transistor Q2, the voltage at the common node where the inductor L1 is connected to the drain of the linear power transistor Q1 will still continue to rise because the inductor current cannot suddenly change, but at this time, because the feedback unit 24 exists in the circuit, the current at the base of the bipolar transistor Q2 will still slowly increase to form a positive feedback, so that the power switch Q1 is turned off deeper, and the protection capability of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit 20 against the surge current is further enhanced.
Illustratively, the feedback unit 24 includes an eighth resistor R8 and a fourth capacitor C5. A first end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the drain of the power switch Q1, a second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to a first end of the fourth capacitor C5, and a second end of the fourth capacitor C5 is connected to the base of the bipolar transistor Q2.
Further, the linear voltage regulating circuit 20 at this time further includes: a fourth diode D4. The anode of the fourth diode D4 is connected to the emitter of the bipolar transistor Q2, and the cathode of the fourth diode D4 is connected to the base of the bipolar transistor Q2.
Further, at the moment of starting up, the surge energy in the loop is also large, the linear voltage stabilizing circuit works in the switching oscillation mode, at this time, there is a charging and discharging process in the fourth capacitor C5 in the feedback unit 24, and in the discharging phase of each oscillation cycle, the current on the fourth capacitor C5 mainly passes through the sampling resistor Rs1 and the seventh resistor R7 to form a discharging loop, so that a small voltage difference is formed between the sampling resistor Rs1 and the seventh resistor R7, that is, a small negative voltage Vbe is generated between the base and the emitter of the bipolar transistor Q2. According to the invention, the fourth diode D4 is arranged between the base electrode and the emitter electrode of the bipolar transistor Q2, so that the negative voltage can be clamped at 0.7V, the bipolar transistor Q2 is protected from being damaged by the negative voltage, and the reliability of the circuit is improved.
In summary, in the invention, an inductor is connected in series in an output loop of a linear voltage stabilizing circuit, so that when a surge current occurs in a circuit, the change rate of the current in the loop can be reduced, and the surge current is increased slowly, and meanwhile, by arranging a sampling resistor and a voltage regulating circuit, the current in the loop is sampled by the sampling resistor and the voltage regulating circuit is triggered to control the gate voltage of a power switching tube so as to control the switching state of the power switching tube, thereby prolonging the energy release time of the surge current in the loop in the continuous on-off process of the power switching tube, greatly reducing the surge energy in the loop in unit time, reducing the current in the output loop, and enabling the linear voltage stabilizing circuit to have the surge current protection function. In addition, the impedance of the inductor is relatively low, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the circuit and the output load capacity of the switching power supply when low voltage is input.
On the other hand, the switching power supply disclosed by the invention can reduce the resistance value requirement of the surge protection resistor required in the preceding stage circuit (such as a three-phase conversion circuit) of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit in the switching power supply based on the surge protection capability of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit, so that the switching power supply can meet the specified surge protection requirement, meanwhile, the loop impedance in the switching power supply is greatly reduced, and the cost is reduced.
