Secondary side circuit 3B comprises winding i.e. Secondary Winding L2 of the secondary side of transformator TR, rectification Element S32 and electrolysis condenser C32.If a winding L1 of primary side circuit 3A is applied voltage, Then the sensing of Secondary Winding L2 and the number of windings of a winding L1 and Secondary Winding L2 the number of windings it Than corresponding voltage.The induced voltage of Secondary Winding L2 passes through rectifier cell S32 and electrochemical capacitor Device C32 and be rectified and smooth, and export to thermal printer 4.
So, if making to put on the electricity of a winding L1 by the switch motion of on-off circuit K11 Pressure changes, then the voltage sensed in Secondary Winding L2 changes, secondary side circuit 3B Output voltage Vout changes.
Secondary side circuit 3B, between lead-out terminal OUT and lead-out terminal GND, possesses detection electricity Road K21 (test section) and switching circuit K22 (switching part).
AC transducer 3 is exported to the output electric current of thermal printer 4, i.e. flows by testing circuit K21 Current value to the load current of load detects.Testing circuit K21 possesses resistance R1, resistance R5, resistance R6 and comparator (comparator) CU.One end of resistance R1 and lead-out terminal GND Connecting, the other end is connected with resistance R6.Resistance R6 is connected in series with resistance R5, resistance R5 with Lead-out terminal GND connects.That is, between lead-out terminal OUT and lead-out terminal GND, series connection Connect resistance R5, R6, R1.
Comparator CU is made up of operational amplifier.The reversed input terminal of comparator CU (-) with The node P1 connected by resistance R5 and resistance R6 connects, non-inverting input terminal (+) and output Terminal GND connects.Comparator CU the voltage detected by reversed input terminal less than by non-instead In the case of the voltage that phase input terminal detects, to transistor Q2 described later input " High " electricity Flat signal.Additionally, at the voltage detected by reversed input terminal higher than by non-inverting input terminal In the case of the voltage detected, comparator CU is to the letter of transistor Q2 input " Low " level Number.
The voltage that the reversed input terminal of comparator CU is detected can be represented by following formula (1).
V (-)=Vout/ (R5+R6) (1)
In above formula, V (-) represent the magnitude of voltage of voltage that reversed input terminal is detected.Additionally, R5 represents the resistance value of resistance R5, and R6 represents the resistance value of resistance R5.
The magnitude of voltage of the voltage that the non-inverting input terminal of comparator CU is detected can be by following formula (2) Represent.
V (+)=Iout × R1 (2)
In above formula, V (+) represent the magnitude of voltage of voltage that non-inverting input terminal is detected, Iout Represent the current value of the load current flowing to load.Additionally, R1 represents the resistance value of resistance R1.
Switching circuit K22 possesses resistance R2, resistance R3, resistance R4 and transistor Q2.Resistance R2 and resistance R3 is connected in series, and one end of resistance R2 is connected with lead-out terminal OUT, resistance R3 One end be connected with lead-out terminal GND via resistance R1.One end of resistance R4 and transistor Q2 Colelctor electrode connect, the other end of resistance R4 is connected with lead-out terminal OUT.Transistor Q2 sends out The node P2 that emitter-base bandgap grading is connected with by resistance R2 and resistance R3 connects.The output signal of comparator CU Being input to the base stage of transistor Q2, transistor Q2 is " Low " in the output signal of comparator CU Disconnect in the case of level, connect in the case of " High " level.If transistor Q2 connects, Then resistance R2 and resistance R4 is connected in parallel.
In shunt regulator SA (comparison circuit), possess in inside and there is 2.5 volts etc. given The reference voltage circuit of reference voltage.Shunt regulator SA is connected at node P2.Shunt regulator SA is such as made up of IC, in the case of transistor Q2 disconnects, and the two ends to Secondary Winding L2 Voltage is by voltage (the hereinafter referred to as P2 voltage of the node P2 after resistance R2 and resistance R3 dividing potential drop (dividing potential drop of output voltage Vout)) and the reference voltage of internal reference voltage circuit compare. Between the output and lead-out terminal OUT of shunt regulator SA, connect via current limitation resistor The light emitting diode Dp of photoelectrical coupler Pc (feedback circuit).
In the case of P2 voltage exceedes reference voltage, situation about i.e. rising at output voltage Vout Under, shunt regulator SA makes current direction photoelectrical coupler Pc.Thus, photoelectrical coupler Pc is constituted Light emitting diode Dp luminous.The light sent from light emitting diode Dp by with light emitting diode Dp mono- The phototransistor Qp light of composition photoelectrical coupler Pc.Then, if phototransistor Qp Light, then flow between the colelctor electrode of phototransistor Qp, emitter stage feedback current.Control IC111 Based on this feedback current, control the pulse to transistor Q1 output and put on a winding L1 to reduce Voltage, make output voltage Vout decline.
On the other hand, in the case of P2 voltage is less than reference voltage, i.e. output voltage Vout declines In the case of, shunt regulator SA does not make current direction photoelectrical coupler Pc.Therefore, photoelectricity is brilliant Do not flow between the colelctor electrode of body pipe Qp, emitter stage feedback current.Thus, control IC111 to control Transistor Q1 makes the voltage putting on a winding L1 increase, and makes output voltage Vout increase.
So, shunt regulator SA, in the case of P2 voltage exceedes reference voltage, makes output voltage Vout declines, and makes output voltage Vout increase in the case of P2 voltage is less than reference voltage.That is, Shunt regulator SA controls output voltage Vout and makes P2 voltage equal with reference voltage.At crystal In the case of pipe Q2 disconnects, resistance R2 and resistance R3 is the bleeder circuit of output voltage Vout. Shunt regulator SA is by using the P2 Control of Voltage as dividing potential drop being now and internal reference voltage The internal reference voltage of circuit is equal, thus controls to flow to the light emitting diode Dp of photoelectrical coupler Pc Dynamic electric current.Therefore, AC transducer 3 can be by based on resistance R2 and the dividing potential drop of resistance R3 Circuit, shunt regulator SA, photoelectrical coupler Pc and on-off circuit K11, make output voltage Vout is changed.In the case of transistor Q2 connects, resistance R2 in parallel and resistance R4, The resistance R3 connected with them is the bleeder circuit of output voltage Vout, resistance R2 and resistance R4 And the voltage of the node P2 between resistance R3 is dividing potential drop.
The dividing potential drop being input to shunt regulator SA is to turn on also being off according to transistor Q2 and different. As it has been described above, shunt regulator SA is controlled for P2 voltage is equal with internal reference voltage by control Output voltage Vout processed.In the case of transistor Q2 disconnects, P2 voltage is by resistance R1, electricity Resistance R2 and resistance R3 carries out the voltage after dividing potential drop to output voltage Vout.Hereinafter, in order to simplify Illustrate, the both end voltage of resistance R2, R3 of being connected in series is set to voltage Vout '.Voltage Vout ' Be the induced voltage of Secondary Winding L2 is carried out rectification, smooth after voltage.
Output voltage is represented by formula (3) shown below and formula (4).
If the voltage Vout ' in the case of being disconnected by transistor Q2 is set to voltage Vout1 ', then voltage Vout1 ' is represented by following formula (3).
Vout1 '=Vref × (R2+R3)/R3 (3)
In above formula, Vref represents the magnitude of voltage of the reference voltage of the inside of shunt regulator SA, R2 Representing the resistance value of resistance R2, R3 represents the resistance value of resistance R3.In the present embodiment, brilliant Output voltage Vout in the case of body pipe Q2 disconnects is set as 24 volts, and voltage Vout1 ' is by defeated The value going out voltage Vout and resistance R1 determines.
On the other hand, if the voltage Vout ' in the case of being connected by transistor Q2 is set to voltage Vout2 ', then voltage Vout2 ' is represented by following formula (4).In the case of transistor Q2 connects, The voltage of the node P2 between the resistance R3 that resistance R2 in parallel and resistance R4 connects with them is The dividing potential drop of Vout.
Vout2 '=Vref × ((R2 × R4/ (R2+R4))+R3)/R3 (4)
In above formula, R4 represents the resistance value of resistance R4.In the present embodiment, transistor Q2 Output voltage Vout in the case of connection is 20 volts, and voltage Vout2 ' is by output voltage Vout Determine with the value of resistance R1.
Fig. 3 is the chart of the dropping voltage characteristic representing AC transducer 3, and the longitudinal axis represents voltage Vout ' Magnitude of voltage, transverse axis represents the current value of the load current Iout flowing to thermal printer 4.In figure, Ve ' represents that the threshold value of the output voltage Vout becoming low-voltage mistake with thermal printer 4 is corresponding The magnitude of voltage of voltage Vout ', in the present embodiment Ve '=17 volt.
If the electric current flowing to thermal printer 4 increases, then voltage Vout ' decline, therewith output voltage Vout declines (the 1st dropping voltage characteristic).The point that voltage Vout ' transfers to decline is set under voltage Fall point O1, is set to I1 by the value of the load current Iout at voltage drop point O1.
If current value increases further, then the dropping voltage characteristic switching of AC transducer 3.By voltage The point that the switching of dropping characteristic occurs is set to characteristic switching point O2, by the load at characteristic switching point O2 The current value of electric current Iout is set to I2.Additionally, in figure 3, current value I3 represents in AC conversion Device 3 starts the value of load current Iout at over-current protection point O3 of overcurrent protection.
As shown in Figure 3, AC transducer 3 is that I2 area below illustrates " ヘ at load current Iout Word " dropping characteristic, " Off word " dropping characteristic, if load current Iout is more than I2, is shown.
That is, if load current Iout increases and exceedes current value I1, then AC transducer 3 is according to " ヘ Word " dropping characteristic, make voltage Vout ' slowly decline from the voltage Vout1 ' of voltage drop point O1.
If load current Iout increases and further more than I2, then at the testing circuit of AC transducer 3 In K21, the input voltage V of the non-inverting input terminal of comparator CU (+) go above anti-phase The input voltage V of input terminal (-).Due to input voltage V (+) > input voltage V (-), Therefore the level of the signal that comparator CU exports to the base stage of transistor Q2 becomes " High ".
If describing in detail, then in the case of the value at load current Iout is more than I2, input voltage V (+) and input voltage V (-) relation become V (+) > V (-), following formula (5) Relation set up.
R1 × Iout > Vout/ (R5+R6) (5)
That is, in the case of the current value at load current Iout is I2, V (+)=V (-) is become, If load current Iout more than I2, becomes V (+) > V (-).Therefore, comparator CU to The signal of transistor Q2 output becomes " High " level.
In switching circuit K22, if the input signal carrying out self-detection circuit K21 becomes " High " Level, then transistor Q2 switches to connection from disconnection.Owing to switching to connection by transistor Q2, Thus resistance R2 and resistance R4 is connected in parallel, therefore as the node of dividing potential drop of output voltage Vout P2 voltage at P2 changes.Thus, shunt regulator SA controls to photoelectrical coupler Pc's The electric current of light emitting diode Dp flowing makes P2 voltage equal with internal reference voltage, and reflection is arrived Give the frequency controlling the pulse to transistor Q1 output in the feedback current of control IC111, change Output voltage Vout.AC transducer 3 performs Isobarically Control by shunt regulator SA and makes electricity Press to Vout2 '.Taking this as an opportunity, and dropping voltage characteristic switches to " Off from " ヘ word " dropping characteristic Word " dropping characteristic.
Under voltage after drop characteristic switching, i.e. the current value of load current Iout is between I2 to I3, AC transducer 3 is according to " Off word " dropping characteristic, and (the 2nd voltage declines spy in the decline of suppression voltage Property) so that voltage Vout ' is not less than Ve '.As it is shown on figure 3, the 2nd dropping voltage characteristic is with 1 dropping voltage characteristic is compared milder gradient and is declined.
So, by the increase with load current Iout, the dropping voltage characteristic of AC transducer 3 Switch to " Off word " dropping characteristic such that it is able to perform the Isobarically Control of output voltage Vout, make Obtain the magnitude of voltage that voltage Vout ' keeps higher than Ve '.Therefore, though thermal printer 4 line heat In the case of in quick 42, the variation of the load current Iout of flowing is relatively big, it is also possible to suitably to heat Quick printer 4 provides electric power, it is possible to prevent low-voltage mistake or the shutdown of thermal printer 4.
If here, load electric increases further, the current value of load current Iout reaches I2, then AC transducer 3 according to switching after " Off word " dropping characteristic, make load current Iout reduce and Output voltage Vout is made to decline (the 3rd dropping voltage characteristic).Thus, overcurrent protection is carried out.
So, connected by transistor Q2, thus the dropping voltage characteristic of AC transducer 3 is from " ヘ Word " dropping characteristic switches to " Off word " dropping characteristic.By this switching, even if thus at load electricity In the case of stream Iout has exceeded the current value of normal print range, it is also possible to reliably performed electricity Stream protection.
Then, the AC conversion in the case of printing the printed data of height printing dutycycle is described The action of device 3.In the present embodiment, in the printing of the printed data of height printing dutycycle, super The load current Iout crossing the I1 at the voltage drop point O1 shown in Fig. 3 flows to load.
Fig. 4 is the AC transducer 3 in the case of the printed data to height printing dutycycle prints Sequential chart.Fig. 4 (A) is the sequential chart of output voltage Vout, and Fig. 4 (B) is load current The sequential chart of Iout.In figure, Vout1 is the output voltage Vout in the case of transistor Q2 disconnects Value, Vout2 is the value of output voltage Vout in the case of transistor Q2 connects.
If thermal printer 4 starts the printing of the printed data of high printing dutycycle at moment t1, then from The load current Iout that AC transducer 3 heat sensitive printer 4 flows bigger.In moment t1 flowing The value of load current Iout is more than the I1 at the voltage drop point O1 shown in Fig. 3.
Increasing with at moment t1 load current Iout, AC transducer 3 declines spy according to " ヘ word " Property and make output voltage Vout decline.At moment t2, dropping voltage characteristic is declined from " ヘ word " Characteristic switches to " Off word " dropping characteristic.Thus, the electricity of the output voltage Vout of AC transducer 3 Pressure value remains Vout2 after moment t2.
As it has been described above, AC transducer 3 is after switching to " Off word " dropping characteristic, according to " Off Word " dropping characteristic, output voltage Vout is controlled so that output voltage Vout is not less than Ve.The threshold value of output voltage Vout of low-voltage mistake is become here, Ve is thermal printer 4. Therefore, even if the load current Iout flowing to thermal printer 4 increases, it is also possible to prevent AC from changing Device 3 be supplied to the output voltage Vout of thermal printer 4 the low-voltage mistake caused by decline, Shut down.
If additionally, the printing at moment t3 thermal printer 4 terminates, then flowing to thermal printer 4 Load current Iout reduce.In AC transducer 3, with the minimizing of load current Iout, brilliant Body pipe Q2 disconnects, and changes as the P2 voltage at the node P2 of the dividing potential drop of output voltage Vout. The electric current controlling to flow to the light emitting diode Dp of photoelectrical coupler Pc is so that P2 voltage is with internal Reference voltage equal, and reflect give control IC111 feedback current in control transistor The frequency of the pulse of Q1 output, changes output voltage Vout.Shunt regulator SA is with this dividing potential drop Change, make the output voltage Vout of AC transducer 3 return to Vout1 from Vout2, and export Vout1。
So, AC transducer 3 is by switching dropping voltage characteristic, though thus thermal printer 4 Load increase also be able to suitably provide electric power.Therefore, even height prints the printing number of dutycycle According to, thermal printer 4 also is able to suitably print.Additionally, thermal printer 4 will not occur AC Low-voltage mistake caused by the decline of the service voltage of transducer 3, shutdown, it is possible to stably carry out Printing.Additionally, along with the printing of thermal printer 4 terminates, load current Iout reduces, and AC turns The output voltage Vout of parallel operation 3 is automatically reverted to Vout1, therefore the electric power to thermal printer 4 Supply can keep stable state.
As described above, the AC transducer 3 (supply unit) involved by present embodiment It is supplied to load by DC current based on alternating current.AC transducer 3 possesses power circuit, this electricity Source circuit has the voltage of multiple output voltage relative to the load current being supplied to load and declines spy Property.Power circuit is in the case of the current value of load current becomes specific state, under switching voltage Drop characteristic.
Thus, even if AC transducer 3 is in the case of the variation of load is relatively big, it is also possible to suitably Electric power is provided.
Additionally, the power circuit of AC transducer 3 has represents that the increase with load current exports " ヘ word " dropping characteristic (the 1st dropping voltage characteristic) of the characteristic that voltage declines and by ratio (the 1 dropping voltage characteristic) characteristic (the 2nd dropping voltage characteristic) of milder gradient and represent companion With the decline of load current, (the 3rd dropping voltage characteristic) of the characteristic that output voltage declines is constituted " Off word " dropping characteristic.
Thus, AC transducer 3 is by switching to dropping voltage characteristic from " ヘ word " dropping characteristic " Off word " dropping characteristic such that it is able to electric power is suitably provided, and overcurrent protection can be carried out.
