Description

Power control apparatus and avionics equipment having the same

The present invention relates to a power control device, and more particularly, to a power control device for controlling an inrush current and maintaining power supply to a system such as an avionics device even when an input power is cut off.

Recently, multifunctional and high performance aircraft are required, and accordingly, the number of avionics (hereinafter referred to as 'avionics equipment') mounted on the aircraft is increasing. In addition, since a large number of avionics are mounted in a fixed space in an aircraft, they are closely installed in a very narrow space.

On the other hand, a power supply (Power Supply) is used to supply a necessary voltage in a system including the avionics equipment. However, in the initial stage when the power of the power supply device is supplied, an overshoot is instantaneously generated, and an inrush current is generated due to the overvoltage. This inrush current may cause a problem in the power supply, which may cause a malfunction in the downstream system. For example, internal components such as power lines, switches, rectifiers and capacitors can be damaged. In addition, it may interfere with other equipment using the same power source and cause a malfunction. Therefore, a conventional power supply is provided with a circuit for controlling the inrush current therein.

In order to suppress the inrush current, conventionally, two switches and a resistor are used. Since two switches are used, a separate device such as a signal processing unit or a control unit for controlling the on/off of the switches is required. Accordingly, since a separate device for controlling the switch is required, problems such as an increase in the unit price of a product, an increase in physical specifications, and a decrease in reliability may occur.

In addition, there may be a case in which power is not input and power is cut off due to a malfunction of the power supply device or the like. In order to respond to such a power outage of the input power, a circuit and a control method for detecting the input power and changing the system were used in the prior art. To this end, a sensing unit for sensing input power and a separate control unit or signal processing unit for changing the system are required. Therefore, a separate device for system change is required, which may cause problems such as an increase in the unit price of the product, an increase in physical specifications, and a decrease in reliability.

In addition, the DC power is supplied to the first load 410 through the first DC/DC converter 510 and is supplied to the second load 420 through the second DC/DC converter 520 . In the normal state, since the second capacitor C12 maintains a constant voltage and power for operation of the avionics equipment is supplied through the first DC/DC converter 510, the power loss of the resistor R11 is very small.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the input power is cut off, the internal DC system of the avionics equipment collapses, and the avionics equipment maintains its normal operation through the amount of power charged in the second capacitor C12 and the second diode D12. .

A method of driving a power control apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 .

Referring to FIG. 9 , when the avionics equipment is initially started, the internal system of the avionics equipment consists of a DC system, and the capacitor C12 for responding to a power failure is charged through the first diode D11. The inrush current generated at this time is limited through the resistor R11. At the same time, power for operating the avionics equipment is supplied to the first and second loads 410 and 420 through the first and second DC/DC converters 510 and 520 , respectively. In a normal state, the capacitor C12 maintains a constant voltage, and power for operating the avionics equipment is supplied to the first and second loads 410 and 420 through the first and second DC/DC converters 510 and 520 . Therefore, the power loss of the resistor R11 is very small. On the other hand, when DC power is supplied, a divided voltage is generated by the first voltage divider including the second and third resistors R12 and R13 of the control unit 600 and applied to the second switch driver 620 , and the second switch driver 620 maintains a level equal to or higher than a predetermined potential to turn on the second switch S12. Accordingly, the power supplied to the fifth node Q15 through the first diode D11 is bypassed to the ground terminal through the second switch S12. Accordingly, the fifth node Q15 maintains the level below the predetermined potential, and accordingly, the first switch driver 610 maintains the level below the predetermined potential to turn off the first switch S11 . Accordingly, while limiting the inrush current through only the resistor R11, the capacitor C12 may be charged with charge.

Referring to FIG. 10 , when the input power is cut off, the internal DC system of the avionics equipment is collapsed, and the avionics equipment maintains the normal operation through the amount of power charged in the capacitor C12 and the first switch S11. That is, when the input power is cut off, the power charged in the second capacitor C12 is supplied to the second load 420 through the first switch S11 . At this time, due to the collapse of the DC power system of the avionics equipment, the second switch S12 due to voltage distribution of the second and third resistors R12 and R13 is turned off, and the voltage of the fourth and fifth resistors R14 and R15 is turned off. The first switch S11 is turned on through distribution. Therefore, it is possible to supply power to the avionics equipment for a certain period of time without power loss due to the resistor R11, and a high-efficiency power supply configuration without power loss (diode conduction voltage) occurring in the first diode D11 of an embodiment of the present invention. This is possible.

As described above, the power control apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may limit the inrush current generated when the system is normally started through the resistor R11. While limiting the inrush current through the resistor R11, the second capacitor C12 is charged to respond when the input power is cut off. In steady state, power is supplied to the load for system operation. However, when the input power is cut off, the second switch S12 is turned off and the first switch S11 is turned on so that the power charged in the capacitor C12 is supplied to the avionics equipment through the first switch S11 for a predetermined time. Normal operation can be maintained.

Although the technical spirit of the present invention as described above has been described in detail according to the above embodiments, it should be noted that the above embodiments are for description and not limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention.
