The power supply 200 in series with the switching circuit 30 may be an external power supply 200, the voltage of the power supply 200 being allowed to be greater than 230 Vac.
Fig. 2 is a circuit diagram of a high-voltage electrical pulse circuit of an electricity meter according to an embodiment.
In one embodiment, the driving circuit 20 includes a first switch Q1, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2; a controlled end of the first switch tube Q1 is connected to a first end of a second resistor R2, a first end of the first switch tube Q1 is used for outputting the switch control signal, and a second end of the first switch tube Q1 is grounded; a second terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the control circuit 10 for receiving the pulse control signal, a second terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor R1, and a second terminal of the first resistor R1 is grounded.
Here, the first switching tube Q1 may be a transistor, a MOS tube, or the like. Take a triode as an example. The controlled terminal is a base electrode of the triode, the second terminal is an emitting electrode of the triode, and the third terminal is a collector electrode of the triode.
The first resistor R1 can be used to protect the base of the transistor. The second resistor R2 can accelerate the bleeding of the circuit in the transistor during the transistor segment. Here, a plurality of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 may be provided.
In one embodiment, the switch circuit 30 includes an optical coupler U1, a power supply 200; the rated voltage of the optical coupler is greater than or equal to 300V. The optical coupler U1 comprises a light emitter and a light receiver, wherein a first end of the light emitter is connected with a power supply 200, and a second end of the light emitter is connected with a first end of the first switching tube Q1 through a third resistor R3; the first end of the light receiver is connected to the pulse output circuit 40, and the second end of the light receiver is connected to the power supply 200. Here, the specific structure of the optical coupler U1 may be various, and in a specific example, the light emitter is a light emitting diode, the first end of the light emitter is an anode of the light emitting diode, and the second end of the light emitter is a cathode of the light emitting diode. The light receiver is a photosensitive transistor, the controlled end of the photosensitive transistor is used for receiving the optical signal sent by the light emitter, the first end of the photosensitive transistor is connected with the pulse output circuit 40, and the second end of the photosensitive transistor is connected with the power supply 200. Specifically, the photosensitive semiconductor transistor may be a phototriode, a photosensitive MOS transistor, or the like.
Taking the circuit shown in fig. 2 as an example, when the pulse control signal is at a high level, the first transistor is turned on, the first end of the first transistor is grounded, and at this time, the light emitting diode of the optocoupler U1 is turned on to emit a light signal. The controlled end of the photosensitive transistor senses the optical signal, so that the first end and the second end of the photosensitive transistor are conducted, and the output voltage of the first end of the photosensitive transistor is approximately the voltage of the power supply 200.
When the pulse control signal is at a low level, the first triode section and the first end of the first triode are in a high-impedance state, and at the moment, the light emitting diode of the optocoupler U1 is turned off to stop emitting the light signal. The controlled end of the photosensitive semiconductor tube can not sense optical signals, so that the first end and the second end of the photosensitive semiconductor tube are disconnected, and the output voltage of the first end of the photosensitive semiconductor tube is approximately 0; thus, a pulse voltage or a pulse current is generated at the output terminal of the pulse output circuit 40 by the pulse control of the pulse control signal.
The pulse control signal may be a signal with a certain period or a signal according to a certain rule or law. As mentioned above, the output of the high-voltage electrical pulse circuit 100 is also a periodic signal, or a signal according to a certain rule or law, depending on the actual use requirement of the user.

In this embodiment, a high voltage and high current optocoupler U1 may be used. Such as an optocoupler U1 with the specification of 400V/100mA and 600V/200 mA.
It should be understood that in another embodiment, the switching circuit 30 may also use a switch tube to implement the switching function.
In one embodiment, the pulse output circuit comprises at least one voltage reduction resistor RT 1; the at least one step-down resistor RT1 is connected in series or in parallel. The voltage reduction capability of the voltage reduction device can be improved by serially connecting the voltage reduction resistors RT1, and the voltage reduction reliability of the pulse output circuit 40 can be improved by parallelly connecting the voltage reduction resistors RT 1.
The voltage reduction resistor RT1 can be a high-power wire-wound resistor or a PTC resistor. The step-down resistor RT1 may be provided as a PTC resistor in consideration of space limitations. The PTC resistor has a characteristic of increasing resistance value with temperature rise, and when the PTC resistor is directly connected to a high-voltage power supply (for example, a power supply larger than 230 Vac), the heating resistance value is rapidly increased, so as to prevent the switching circuit 30 from being directly connected to a power supply with higher voltage to cause device damage.
Here, a plurality of PTC resistors may be selected to be connected in series. Fig. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram illustrating connection of the high-voltage electric pulse circuit 100 of the electric meter with the external device 300 and the power supply 200 according to an embodiment. In practical applications, the equivalent impedance of the external device 300 is 40k Ω, which requires the voltage division of the external device 300 to be greater than 180Vac, and the high-voltage electrical pulse circuit 100 is not damaged when the external device is directly connected to the 230Vac power supply 200. An optocoupler U1 with the specification of 400V/300mA is selected, the resistance value of the PTC resistors is selected to be 2K omega multiplied by 2, and the two PTC resistors are connected in series.
In one embodiment, the pulse output circuit 100 further includes a resistance value adjusting circuit, which is connected in parallel with at least one of the resistors; the resistance value adjusting circuit comprises a control switch which is controlled by switching on/off to adjust the resistance value of the pulse output circuit
Illustratively, the pulse output circuit 100 includes 3 step-down resistors RT1 connected in series, and the resistance value adjusting circuit is connected in parallel with one of the step-down resistors RT1, and when the pulse output circuit needs a small voltage reduction amount, the resistance value adjusting circuit is turned on to short-circuit the corresponding step-down resistor RT1, thereby reducing the resistance of the pulse output circuit.
The on/off of the resistance value adjusting circuit can be controlled by a switch tube, and the switch tube can be controlled by the control circuit 10.
In one embodiment, the output terminal of the pulse output circuit 40 is connected with a connection terminal, and the connection terminal is connected with an external device 300 or a power supply 200.
Please continue to refer to fig. 3 and 4. In one application, the connection terminal can be used for connecting the external device 300, and the power supply 200 is connected between the connection terminal and the external device 300. At this time, the pulse output circuit 40 outputs a pulse voltage.
Please continue to refer to fig. 4. In another application, the connection terminal is connected to the power supply 200, and the pulse output circuit 40 outputs a pulse current.
