As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a circuit capable of changing the voltage division of the input/output side capacitance to ground of an isolated LED driving power supply, which includes:
the primary side circuit is used for accessing alternating current input, wherein the circuit output end of the primary side circuit is connected with the input end of the isolation transformer, and a capacitive voltage dividing circuit is arranged between the primary side circuit and the ground wire;

And the secondary side circuit, the power supply output end and the LED lamp bead are connected for direct current output.
The principle of the technical scheme is as follows:
As shown in fig. 1, a variable voltage divider circuit is added to the ground at the input side, the operation voltage of the variable voltage divider circuit can be set according to the operation voltage of a discharge tube of the lightning surge protection circuit and the highest input voltage of a power supply, the operation voltage of the variable voltage divider circuit is set between the operation voltage of the variable voltage divider circuit and the highest input voltage of the power supply, and the voltage dividing ratio of the variable voltage divider circuit can be set according to the size of a ground capacitor at the input/output side, so that the capacitance of the ground capacitor at the output side can be increased to realize no afterglow, a discharge tube with lower operation voltage can be selected to ensure the protection effect of the lightning surge protection circuit, and the power supply and terminal equipment can be better protected.

The variable voltage divider circuit does not act when the power supply works normally and does not influence the leakage current of the power supply, so that the variable voltage divider circuit can simultaneously meet the requirements of no afterglow, voltage withstanding test and effective lightning surge protection.
In a specific implementation, a voltage follower and measurement controller may be provided for the secondary side circuit. The measuring controller is arranged between the voltage follower and the capacitive voltage dividing circuit and used for outputting real-time voltage dividing ratio information. A voltage follower (also called a buffer amplifier) is a special operational amplifier circuit that has the characteristics of high input impedance and low output impedance. The main function of this is to keep the input voltage transferred to the output unchanged, i.e. the output voltage "follows" the input voltage variation. The non-inverting terminal of the voltage follower is connected to the output voltage of the primary side circuit. This means that the voltage follower will monitor the output voltage of the primary side circuit. The output end of the voltage follower is connected with the capacitive voltage dividing circuit. In this way, the output voltage of the primary side circuit is transferred to the capacitive voltage dividing circuit through the voltage follower, and the voltage of the primary side circuit is not affected by the load of the capacitive voltage dividing circuit. The measuring controller is used for monitoring the real-time voltage division ratio of the capacitive voltage division circuit and outputting related information. This allows the system to know the operating state of the capacitive divider circuit in real time and make the necessary adjustments. The measurement controller is disposed between the voltage follower and the capacitive divider circuit. It may comprise an a/D converter, microprocessor or other signal processing circuit for processing the output signal of the voltage follower.
In a specific implementation process, a voltage doubling circuit can be further arranged for the primary side circuit, the voltage doubling circuit is electrically connected with the capacitive voltage division circuit and used for outputting a voltage ratio signal by the capacitive voltage division circuit and controlling the output voltage of the primary side circuit based on the voltage ratio signal.
The voltage doubler circuit is an electronic circuit that functions to amplify an input voltage to twice or more. Such circuits are commonly used in applications requiring voltages above the input power supply voltage. The voltage doubler circuit is electrically connected to the capacitive divider circuit, meaning that the output of the voltage doubler circuit affects the operation of the capacitive divider circuit. The capacitive voltage divider circuit is used for providing a variable voltage division between the input and output sides and the ground, so as to monitor and control the voltage level of the circuit. The piezoelectric substrate controls the output voltage of the primary side circuit based on a voltage ratio signal output from the capacitive voltage dividing circuit. Specifically, the voltage doubler circuit may adjust its output according to the voltage ratio signal, thereby changing the output voltage of the primary side circuit. When the capacitive voltage divider circuit detects a change in the voltage ratio, it outputs a signal to the voltage doubling circuit, which receives the signal, and adjusts its output voltage by internal control logic (which may include comparators, transistors, relays, etc.). The output voltage of the primary side circuit can be indirectly controlled by changing the output of the voltage doubling circuit, so that the output voltage meets the design requirement.
The beneficial effects of the technical scheme are that:
According to the circuit, the lightning surge protection circuit can adopt the discharge tube with lower action voltage to improve the lightning protection effect, reduce residual voltage and better protect the subsequent-stage circuit and load. The problem of afterglow can be solved by increasing the capacity of the capacitance of the output to the ground wire, and the afterglow-free is realized with lower cost.
As an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, when the capacitive voltage dividing circuit is specifically configured, the capacitive voltage dividing circuit is of three types, namely, a first type voltage dividing circuit, a second type voltage dividing circuit or a third type voltage dividing circuit,
The first type of voltage dividing circuit is formed by connecting a first capacitor and a voltage sensitive circuit in series, as shown in fig. 3;
The second type of voltage dividing circuit is formed by connecting a second capacitor and a gas discharge tube in series, as shown in fig. 4;
the third type of voltage dividing circuit is constituted by a third capacitor and a semiconductor element having a blocking voltage characteristic, as shown in fig. 5.
The principle of the technical scheme is as follows:
In the implementation process of the invention, a variable voltage dividing circuit is added between an input side circuit and a ground wire, and the variable voltage dividing circuit is formed by serially connecting a capacitor with a piezoresistor or a gas discharge tube or a semiconductor device with voltage blocking characteristics (such as devices of a semiconductor discharge tube TSS, a bidirectional TVS and the like).
As shown in figure 1, the variable voltage divider circuit can be composed of a series capacitor of 1 piezoresistor, a series capacitor of 2 gas discharge tubes and a series capacitor of 3 semiconductor devices. The following describes the operation principle of the variable voltage dividing circuit by taking the series capacitance of the voltage dependent resistor in form 1 as an example (the operation principle of forms 2 and 3 is the same as that of form 1), when the voltage at two ends of the variable voltage dividing circuit is larger than the breakdown voltage of the voltage dependent resistor, the voltage dependent resistor is broken down and conducted, and the series capacitance is connected so that the capacitance capacity of the input side circuit to the ground wire is increased, and the divided voltage is reduced. When the voltage at two ends of the variable voltage dividing circuit is smaller than the breakdown voltage of the piezoresistor, the piezoresistor is not conducted, the series capacitor cannot be connected in, and the circuit is not affected. Therefore, the operating voltage of the variable voltage divider circuit can be set by the breakdown voltage of the varistor, and the voltage dividing ratio of the variable voltage divider circuit can be set by the capacity of the series capacitor.
The voltage limiting circuit comprises a first diode, a main control switch tube and a constant current control circuit, wherein the anode of the first diode is connected with the input end of the primary side, the cathode of the first diode is connected between the source electrode and the collector electrode of the main control switch tube, the output end of the constant current control circuit is connected with the anode of the first diode, and the input end of the constant current control circuit is connected with the grid electrode of the main control switch tube. The voltage limiting circuit has the effect that when the input voltage is in a normal range, the first diode is in a cut-off state (non-conduction), so that the work of the main control switch tube is not influenced. The constant current control circuit adjusts the grid voltage of the main control switching tube according to the requirement, so that the switching tube is controlled to be turned on and off, and the constant current of the LED is maintained. If the input voltage is too high, the first diode will turn on because it is a forward biased diode. When the first diode is turned on, it directs current between the source and collector of the main control switch, which results in a reduced gate voltage of the switch (since the output of the constant current control circuit is connected to the anode of the first diode and the input is connected to the gate of the switch). The gate voltage of the main control switching tube is reduced to cause the switching tube to be cut off, so that the current flowing to the LED is cut off, and the LED is protected from being damaged by the excessively high current. The output of the second voltage divider circuit may be used to adjust the reference voltage of the constant current control circuit so that the constant current of the LED may be maintained under different input voltage conditions. When the voltage abnormality is detected, the working point of the constant current control circuit can be adjusted by changing the voltage dividing ratio, so that the LED is further protected from damage.
The constant current control circuit of the voltage limiting circuit comprises an input node, an output node and a plurality of LED drivers connected in series, wherein the input node is used for being connected with the output end of a rectifier bridge of the primary side circuit, the output node is used for being connected with the input end of an isolation transformer, the LED drivers connected in series are connected between the input node and the output node, and the voltage difference between the input node and the output node is related to the number of the LED drivers. The output node of the constant current control circuit is connected with the input end of the isolation transformer. The isolation transformer is used to provide electrical isolation between the input side and the output side while the output voltage can be regulated as desired. The LED drivers are connected in series, between the input node and the output node. Each LED driver is responsible for controlling the current flowing through a particular LED or group of LEDs. When the rectifier bridge outputs pulsating direct current, the current flows to the input end of the isolation transformer through the LED drivers connected in series. Each LED driver is capable of regulating the current flowing through its corresponding LED to ensure that the current is maintained at a constant value, avoiding damage or performance degradation of the LED due to current fluctuations. Since the LED drivers are connected in series, the voltage difference between the input node and the output node is distributed according to the number of LED drivers. Each LED driver consumes a certain voltage according to its design parameters, so that the total voltage difference is distributed over all LED drivers. The constant current control circuit is used for maintaining constant current by monitoring the current and adjusting the conduction degree of the LED driver through a feedback mechanism. If the current exceeds the set value, the constant current control circuit reduces the conduction degree of the LED driver, thereby reducing the current, otherwise, if the current is lower than the set value, the conduction degree is increased.

When the capacitive voltage division circuit is connected with the rear end of the rectifier bridge, the connection mode of the capacitive voltage division circuit comprises that the capacitive voltage division circuit is arranged between any position of a positive pole loop of the rear end of the rectifier bridge and the ground wire, or between any position of a negative pole loop of the rear end of the rectifier bridge and the ground wire.
The principle of the technical scheme is as follows:
The variable voltage divider circuit can be connected between any position of L line (fire wire) in front of the rectifier bridge and ground wire, between any position of N line (zero wire) in front of the rectifier bridge and ground wire, between any position of positive pole loop in back of the rectifier bridge and ground wire, and between any position of negative pole loop in back of the rectifier bridge and ground wire. The operating voltage of the variable voltage dividing circuit is set according to the operating voltage of the discharge tube of the lightning surge protection circuit and the highest input voltage of the power supply, the operating voltage of the variable voltage dividing circuit is set between the operating voltage of the lightning surge protection circuit and the highest input voltage of the power supply, the voltage dividing ratio of the variable voltage dividing circuit can be set according to the capacitance to ground of the input/output side, and the voltage divided by the ground wire of the input side is reduced, so that the discharge tube of the lightning surge protection circuit is prevented from being broken down during the voltage withstanding test, and the failure of the voltage withstanding test is avoided.
