Description

本発明は負荷の起動時に流れる突入電流を検出して制御するスイッチング電源装置に係り、特にトランスの一次側および二次側で突入電流を制御し、負荷を駆動するスイッチング電源装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a switching power supply apparatus that detects and controls an inrush current that flows when a load is started, and more particularly to a switching power supply apparatus that controls an inrush current on a primary side and a secondary side of a transformer to drive a load.

一般的に、シリーズ電源装置やスイッチング電源装置等の電源装置は、そのほとんどのものが負荷側に過電流が流れた場合に、装置内部の部品が過電流によるストレスや発熱で損傷または破壊され、電源としての機能を失ったり、ダメージを受けないようにするため、過電流を抑制し、過電流状態が継続する場合には電流を停止する過電流防止回路が用いられている。   In general, power supply devices such as series power supply devices and switching power supply devices are mostly damaged or destroyed due to overcurrent stress or heat when overcurrent flows to the load side. In order to prevent the function as a power source from being lost or damaged, an overcurrent prevention circuit that suppresses overcurrent and stops the current when the overcurrent state continues is used.

従来のスイッチング電源装置は、「特許文献1」(過負荷時保護機能付きスイッチング電源装置)に開示されているように、電源出力側に、出力電圧低下検出回路を備え、入力側の制御ICの前段に、コンデンサ電圧低下検出回路と、フォトトランジスタと、信号遅延回路と、出力電圧低下ラッチ回路とを備え、出力電圧の低下を検出し、出力電圧の低下に伴う過電流状態をフォトトランジスタで検出し、過電流検出後に所定時間を経過してから制御ICへの制御IC電源用コンデンサの電源を遮断し、制御ICの動作を停止して発振を停止させて過電流を防止し、制御ICを停止してから予め設定された一定時間が経過すると、自動的に制御IC電源用コンデンサから制御ICに電源を供給して起動させるように構成されている。
特開2001−309655号公報
As disclosed in “Patent Document 1” (switching power supply device with overload protection function), the conventional switching power supply device includes an output voltage drop detection circuit on the power supply output side, and includes a control IC on the input side. The first stage is equipped with a capacitor voltage drop detection circuit, a phototransistor, a signal delay circuit, and an output voltage drop latch circuit to detect a drop in output voltage and detect an overcurrent state associated with the drop in output voltage with a phototransistor. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed after detecting the overcurrent, the power supply of the control IC power supply capacitor to the control IC is cut off, the operation of the control IC is stopped and the oscillation is stopped to prevent the overcurrent. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the stop, the control IC power supply capacitor automatically supplies power to the control IC to start it up.
JP 2001-309655 A

従来のスイッチング電源装置は、過電流が流れた場合には電源出力を停止し、過電流状態が解消した場合には再起動するが、駆動する負荷が容量性で、多くの負荷を同時に駆動するような場合には、負荷全体に流れる定常電流はスイッチング電源装置の定格電流を下回るが、負荷起動時に容量性に起因し、定格電流を超えた過大な突入電流が流れる過渡的な現象が発生する。   The conventional switching power supply device stops the power supply output when an overcurrent flows and restarts when the overcurrent condition is resolved, but the driving load is capacitive and drives many loads simultaneously. In such a case, the steady-state current that flows through the entire load is lower than the rated current of the switching power supply unit. However, a transient phenomenon occurs in which an excessive inrush current exceeding the rated current flows due to the capacity at the start of the load. .

容量性の負荷に流れる突入電流は、容量が充電するまでの短い時間であるが、スイッチング電源の定格電流を充分オーバする場合がある。   The inrush current flowing through the capacitive load is a short time until the capacity is charged, but may sufficiently exceed the rated current of the switching power supply.

従来のスイッチング電源装置は、突入電流が流れると、過負荷と判断して電源出力を停止して突入電流を停止させるが、突入電流が停止して一定時間が経過すると、再度電源を起動して電源出力を負荷に供給することになる。   In the conventional switching power supply, when an inrush current flows, it is judged as an overload and the power output is stopped to stop the inrush current. When the inrush current stops and a certain time elapses, the power supply is started again. The power output is supplied to the load.

電源が再起動した時点で、電源停止時点の突入電流によって負荷の容量に充分充電されているケースでは、負荷に流れる電流が初めには多いが、次第に少なくなって定常電流となり、スイッチング電源装置も正常に動作するが、電源停止中に負荷の容量に充電された電荷が放電されたケースでは、電源の再起動によって負荷に再度突入電流が流れ、電源出力の停止→電源の起動のハンチング現象を繰り返し、電源が正常に動作しなくなる虞がある。   When the power supply is restarted, in the case where the load capacity is sufficiently charged by the inrush current at the time of the power supply stop, the current flowing through the load is large at first, but gradually decreases and becomes a steady current. In the case of normal operation, but when the charge charged in the load capacity is discharged while the power supply is stopped, the inrush current flows again to the load when the power supply is restarted. Repeatedly, the power supply may not operate normally.

負荷の突入電流に対応するためには、定格電流が突入電流を上回るスイッチング電源装置を用いることで解消できるが、不必要に定格電流(パワー)の大きなものが必要となる課題がある。   In order to cope with the inrush current of the load, it can be solved by using a switching power supply device whose rated current exceeds the inrush current, but there is a problem that an unnecessarily large rated current (power) is required.

また、リレー等のスイッチを用いて多くの負荷を順番にスイッチング電源装置に接続し、個々の負荷に流れる突入電流が定格電流を越えないようにすることもできるが、スイッチを順番に動作する付加的な装置が必要となったり、負荷を接続する作業が煩わしくなる課題が発生する。   In addition, many loads can be connected to the switching power supply in turn using a switch such as a relay so that the inrush current flowing through each load does not exceed the rated current. A problem arises in that a troublesome device is required and the work of connecting the load becomes troublesome.

This is supplied to the gate of the MOSFET-Q1 to drive the MOSFET-Q1.

また、ドライブ制御回路4は、フォトカプラPH1を介して二次側(出力側)から帰還されるフォトトランジスタ電流ICに基づいてPWM信号のデューティ比を変更し、直流電源VDCの出力電圧VOを規定の値にするようにMOSFET−Q1を駆動する。   Further, the drive control circuit 4 changes the duty ratio of the PWM signal based on the phototransistor current IC fed back from the secondary side (output side) through the photocoupler PH1, and defines the output voltage VO of the DC power supply VDC. The MOSFET-Q1 is driven so that the value becomes.

さらに、ドライブ制御回路4は、負荷にスイッチング電源装置1の定格電流を越える突入電流や過電流の出力電流IOが流れる場合、一次側で出力電流IOを制御する一次側電流制御手段8(後述する)をコントロールする。   Further, when an inrush current exceeding the rated current of the switching power supply 1 or an overcurrent output current IO flows through the load, the drive control circuit 4 controls primary current control means 8 (described later) for controlling the output current IO on the primary side. ).

MOSFET−Q1は、トランスTの一次巻線LPと直列に接続し、ドライブ制御回路4から供給されるPWM信号に対応して一次側直流電源を断続して一次巻線LPに高周波のパルス電源(交流電源)を発生させる。   The MOSFET-Q1 is connected in series with the primary winding LP of the transformer T, and in response to the PWM signal supplied from the drive control circuit 4, the primary side DC power supply is intermittently connected to the primary winding LP with a high-frequency pulse power supply ( AC power) is generated.

トランスTは、一次側と二次側を電気的に絶縁した絶縁トランスで構成し、一次巻線LP、二次巻線LSおよび補助巻線LHを備え、一次巻線LPに発生した高周波のパルス電源(交流電源)を二次巻線LSおよび補助巻線LHに誘導する。なお、二次巻線LSに誘導された高周波のパルス電源(交流電源)は、直流出力電源VDC用に利用され、補助巻線LHに誘導された高周波のパルス電源(交流電源)は、ドライブ制御回路4の起動に利用される。   The transformer T is composed of an insulating transformer in which the primary side and the secondary side are electrically insulated, and includes a primary winding LP, a secondary winding LS, and an auxiliary winding LH, and a high-frequency pulse generated in the primary winding LP. A power supply (AC power supply) is induced in the secondary winding LS and the auxiliary winding LH. The high frequency pulse power source (AC power source) induced in the secondary winding LS is used for the DC output power source VDC, and the high frequency pulse power source (AC power source) induced in the auxiliary winding LH is drive controlled. It is used for starting the circuit 4.

To do.

過電流防止手段7は、一次側検出・制御と二次側検出・制御を所定順序で実行することにより、突入電流の流れる短い期間だけ、電源出力(直流出力電源VDC)を停止させないで、電源出力電圧(出力電圧VO)を低下させながら定格電流IM以上の突入電流を流し、突入電流の継続時間が長い場合には電源出力を停止する。   The overcurrent prevention means 7 executes the primary side detection / control and the secondary side detection / control in a predetermined order so that the power supply output (DC output power supply VDC) is not stopped for a short period during which the inrush current flows. While decreasing the output voltage (output voltage VO), an inrush current exceeding the rated current IM is passed, and the power supply output is stopped when the duration of the inrush current is long.

また、過電流防止手段7は、負荷に流れる突入電流を一次側で検出して制御する一次側電流制御手段8と、負荷に流れる突入電流を二次側で検出して制御する二次側電流制御手段9と、一次側電流制御手段8と二次側電流制御手段9の動作順序を規定するシーケンス手段10を備える。   The overcurrent prevention means 7 includes a primary side current control means 8 for detecting and controlling an inrush current flowing through the load on the primary side, and a secondary side current for detecting and controlling the inrush current flowing through the load on the secondary side. The control means 9, and the sequence means 10 which prescribes | regulates the operation | movement order of the primary side current control means 8 and the secondary side current control means 9 are provided.

負荷の突入電流とは、負荷が容量性の場合、直流電圧(出力電圧VO)の印加時に、直流電源の内部抵抗と、直流電源の出力から負荷の容量(コンデンサ)までの抵抗との合成抵抗(例えば、抵抗値Ra)および負荷の容量(例えば、容量値CL)で形成される積分回路により、過渡的にインパルス状の電流が負荷に流れ、指数関数的に減少する電流で、抵抗値Raが小さいほど突入電流の波高値(ピーク値)が大きく、容量値CLが大きいほど突入電流の減少に時間を要する。   Load inrush current is the combined resistance of the internal resistance of the DC power supply and the resistance from the output of the DC power supply to the capacity of the load (capacitor) when a DC voltage (output voltage VO) is applied when the load is capacitive. (For example, the resistance value Ra) and the integration circuit formed by the load capacitance (for example, the capacitance value CL), an impulse current flows through the load transiently, and the resistance value Ra Is smaller, the peak value (peak value) of the inrush current is larger, and the larger the capacitance value CL is, the longer it takes to reduce the inrush current.

したがって、負荷に流す定常電流が少ない場合でも、突入電流は定常電流をはるかに越えるケースがあり、定常電流が少ないからといって多くの負荷を並列に駆動するケースでは、突入電流が非常に大きくなる。   Therefore, even when the steady current flowing through the load is small, the inrush current may exceed the steady current in some cases, and the inrush current is very large in the case where many loads are driven in parallel just because the steady current is small. Become.

しかし、突入電流は、指数関数的に減少するので、一般的に継続時間が短いため、電源が突入電流に対応するためには、突入電流が電源の定格電流を越える電流値と時間の消費電力が電源(構成部品も含む)に損傷や破壊を及ぼさない限り、電源を停止することなく負荷を駆動し、突入電流の継続時間が長い場合に電源を停止して保護することになる。   However, since the inrush current decreases exponentially, the duration time is generally short. Therefore, in order for the power supply to respond to the inrush current, the current value and power consumption of the time when the inrush current exceeds the rated current of the power supply Unless the power supply (including component parts) is damaged or destroyed, the load is driven without stopping the power supply, and the power supply is stopped and protected when the duration of the inrush current is long.

上述した技術思想に基づいて一次側電流制御手段8と二次側電流制御手段9の動作ならびに動作順序により、突入電流IRが定格電流IMをオーバしても電源を継続して負荷に供給するとともに、突入電流IRの継続時間が長い場合には電源を停止することができ、突入電流IRが流れる負荷の駆動ならびに電源の保護を実現することができる。   Based on the technical idea described above, the primary side current control means 8 and the secondary side current control means 9 operate and operate in sequence, and even if the inrush current IR exceeds the rated current IM, the power is continuously supplied to the load. When the duration of the inrush current IR is long, the power supply can be stopped, and the driving of the load through which the inrush current IR flows and the protection of the power supply can be realized.

一次側電流制御手段8は、負荷電流の増加に応じて電圧を低下させる電流−電圧特性を備え、負荷の突入電流IRに対応して定格電流IM以上の電流を電源出力電圧を低下させながら流す。   The primary-side current control means 8 has a current-voltage characteristic that reduces the voltage in response to an increase in load current, and allows a current equal to or greater than the rated current IM to flow while reducing the power supply output voltage in response to the inrush current IR of the load. .

一方、二次側電流制御手段9は、負荷電流の増加が一定値に達すると電圧を低下させる電流−電圧特性を備え、負荷の突入電流が大きく、長い時間継続する場合には、電源を停止する。   On the other hand, the secondary-side current control means 9 has a current-voltage characteristic that reduces the voltage when the increase in load current reaches a certain value. When the load inrush current is large and continues for a long time, the power supply is stopped. To do.

図2はこの発明に係る一次側電流制御手段および二次側電流制御手段の実施の形態出力電流−出力電圧特性図である。図2において、ポイントP1は、電源の出力電流IO(負荷電流)の定格電流IMが流れる点、ポイントP2は、一次側電流制御手段8および二次側電流制御手段9の動作が開始する点で、出力電流IO(負荷電流)は、定格電流IMを越えた電流IPが流れる。なお、この時点では、出力電圧VOが一定の定格電圧に保たれる。   FIG. 2 is an output current-output voltage characteristic diagram of the embodiment of the primary side current control means and the secondary side current control means according to the present invention. In FIG. 2, point P1 is a point at which the rated current IM of the output current IO (load current) of the power source flows, and point P2 is a point at which the operations of the primary side current control means 8 and the secondary side current control means 9 start. The output current IO (load current) is a current IP that exceeds the rated current IM. At this time, the output voltage VO is maintained at a constant rated voltage.

一次側電流制御手段8は、出力電流IOがポイントP2(電流IP)を超えた電流が流れると、電流が増加しながら出力電圧VOが低下する電流−電圧特性F1、いわゆる『ヘの字特性』の制御を実行する。一方、二次側電流制御手段9は、出力電流IOがポイントP2(電流IP)を超えて増加しようとしても、電流を電流IPに制限して出力電圧VOを低下する電流−電圧特性F2、いわゆる『垂下特性』の制御を実行する。   The primary-side current control means 8 has a current-voltage characteristic F1 in which the output voltage VO decreases while increasing the current when the output current I0 exceeds the point P2 (current IP), so-called "H-shaped characteristic". Execute the control. On the other hand, the secondary side current control means 9 is a so-called current-voltage characteristic F2 that reduces the output voltage VO by limiting the current to the current IP even if the output current IO increases beyond the point P2 (current IP). Execute the “droop characteristics” control.

突入電流に対応する電流−電圧特性は、出力電流IO(負荷電流)をできる限り大きな値まで継続させるのがベターなので、電流−電圧特性F1を実行する一次側電流制御手段8が適しており、突入電流がより多く、電流−電圧特性F1で吸収できないような場合には、電流−電圧特性F2を実行する二次側電流制御手段9を動作させて突入電流をポイントP2の電流IPに制限するとともに、出力電圧VOを低下させて装置を破損や破壊から保護する。   Since the current-voltage characteristic corresponding to the inrush current is better to continue the output current IO (load current) to the largest possible value, the primary side current control means 8 for executing the current-voltage characteristic F1 is suitable. When the inrush current is larger and cannot be absorbed by the current-voltage characteristic F1, the secondary side current control means 9 for executing the current-voltage characteristic F2 is operated to limit the inrush current to the current IP at the point P2. At the same time, the output voltage VO is lowered to protect the device from damage and destruction.

例えば、突入電流に対し、初めに一次側電流制御手段8を動作させて電流−電圧特性F1がポイントP3に達した時点で、二次側電流制御手段9を動作させることにより、ポイントP3→ポイントP4の電流−電圧特性F2に移行させることができる。   For example, when the primary side current control means 8 is first operated with respect to the inrush current and the current-voltage characteristic F1 reaches the point P3, the secondary side current control means 9 is operated, so that the point P3 → the point The current-voltage characteristic F2 of P4 can be shifted.

したがって、シーケンス手段10は、負荷電流の増加に対して、初めに一次側電流制御手段8を動作させ、続いて二次側電流制御手段9を動作させるように動作する。負荷の突入電流に対応して一次側電流制御手段8を動作させて定格電流IMを越える電流を流し、一次側電流制御手段8で定格電流IMを越える電流が一定期間続く場合には、二次側電流制御手段9を動作させて電源を停止することができる。   Therefore, the sequence means 10 operates to operate the primary side current control means 8 first and then to operate the secondary side current control means 9 in response to an increase in load current. In response to the inrush current of the load, the primary current control means 8 is operated to pass a current exceeding the rated current IM. When the primary current control means 8 continues the current exceeding the rated current IM for a certain period of time, the secondary current control means 8 The power supply can be stopped by operating the side current control means 9.

ポイントP4の電流−電圧特性F2に移行した時点で、突入電流がピーク値から減少すると、一次側電流制御手段8の電流−電圧特性F1は、ポイントP3→ポイントP2→ポイントP1のカーブを移行する。一方、二次側電流制御手段9の電流−電圧特性F2は、ポイントP4→ポイントP2→ポイントP1のカーブを移行する。   When the inrush current decreases from the peak value at the time of transition to the current-voltage characteristic F2 at the point P4, the current-voltage characteristic F1 of the primary side current control means 8 shifts from the curve of point P3 → point P2 → point P1. . On the other hand, the current-voltage characteristic F2 of the secondary side current control means 9 shifts the curve of point P4 → point P2 → point P1.

このように、この発明に係る過電流防止手段7は、負荷に流れる突入電流を一次側で検出して制御する一次側電流制御手段8と、負荷に流れる突入電流を二次側で検出して制御する二次側電流制御手段9と、一次側電流制御手段8と二次側電流制御手段9の動作順序を規定するシーケンス手段10とを備えたので、一次側電流制御手段8と二次側電流制御手段9の動作ならびに動作順序により、突入電流が定格電流IMをオーバしても電源を継続して負荷に供給するとともに、突入電流の継続時間が長い場合には電源を停止することができ、突入電流が流れる負荷の駆動ならびに電源の保護を実現することができる。   As described above, the overcurrent prevention means 7 according to the present invention detects the inrush current flowing through the load on the primary side and controls the primary side current control means 8 and detects the inrush current flowing through the load on the secondary side. Since the secondary side current control means 9 to be controlled and the primary side current control means 8 and the sequence means 10 for defining the operation order of the secondary side current control means 9 are provided, the primary side current control means 8 and the secondary side current control means 9 are provided. Depending on the operation and operation sequence of the current control means 9, the power supply can be continuously supplied to the load even if the inrush current exceeds the rated current IM, and the power supply can be stopped if the inrush current duration is long. In addition, driving of a load through which an inrush current flows and protection of a power source can be realized.

また、この発明に係る一次側電流制御手段8は、負荷電流IOの増加に応じて電圧(出力電圧VO)を低下させる電流−電圧特性F1を備えたので、負荷の突入電流に対応して定格電流IM以上の電流を電源出力電圧VOを低下させながら流すことができ、短い時間の大きな突入電流の負荷であっても電源を停止することなく、負荷を駆動することができる。   Further, the primary side current control means 8 according to the present invention has the current-voltage characteristic F1 which decreases the voltage (output voltage VO) in accordance with the increase of the load current IO, so that the rating is corresponding to the inrush current of the load. A current equal to or higher than the current IM can be passed while the power supply output voltage VO is lowered, and the load can be driven without stopping the power supply even if the load has a large inrush current for a short time.

さらに、この発明に係る二次側電流制御手段9は、負荷電流IOの増加が一定値(IP)に達すると電圧(出力電圧VO)を低下させる電流−電圧特性F2を備えたので、負荷の突入電流が大きく、長い時間継続する場合には、電源を停止することができ、大きな突入電流または過電流から電源を保護することができる。   Further, since the secondary side current control means 9 according to the present invention has the current-voltage characteristic F2 for decreasing the voltage (output voltage VO) when the increase of the load current IO reaches a constant value (IP), When the inrush current is large and continues for a long time, the power supply can be stopped, and the power supply can be protected from a large inrush current or overcurrent.

また、この発明に係るシーケンス手段10は、負荷電流IOの増加に対して、初めに一次側電流制御手段8を動作させ、続いて二次側電流制御手段9を動作させるので、負荷の突入電流に対応して一次側電流制御手段8を動作させて定格電流IMを越える電流を流し、一次側電流制御手段8で定格電流IMを越える電流が一定期間続く場合には、二次側電流制御手段9を動作させて電源を停止することができ、容量性の負荷に流れる短時間の過渡的な突入電流に対しては、定格電流を越える電流を流して負荷を正常に駆動することができる。   Further, since the sequence means 10 according to the present invention operates the primary side current control means 8 first and then the secondary side current control means 9 in response to the increase in the load current IO, the inrush current of the load. If the primary side current control means 8 is operated to flow a current exceeding the rated current IM and the primary side current control means 8 continues the current exceeding the rated current IM for a certain period, the secondary side current control means 9 can be operated to stop the power supply, and for a short-time transient inrush current flowing through the capacitive load, the load can be driven normally by passing a current exceeding the rated current.

図3はこの発明に係るスイッチング電源装置の別実施の形態要部ブロック構成図である。図3において、過電流防止手段7のシーケンス手段10は、低電圧検出手段11および遅延手段12を備える。なお、シーケンス手段10が、低電圧検出手段11および遅延手段12を備えた点を除き、図1に示すスイッチング電源装置1と全く同じ構成なので、同じ構成の部分についての説明を省略する。   FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the main part of another embodiment of the switching power supply according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, the sequence means 10 of the overcurrent prevention means 7 includes a low voltage detection means 11 and a delay means 12. Except for the point that the sequence means 10 includes the low voltage detection means 11 and the delay means 12, the configuration is exactly the same as that of the switching power supply device 1 shown in FIG.

低電圧検出手段11は、検出する低電圧値のツェナーダイオードなどの定電圧素子、スイッチング素子等で構成し、出力電圧VOが定格電圧の場合には定電圧素子が動作してスイッチング素子をオン状態にし、Lレベル(GND)の出力を遅延手段12に供給し、遅延手段12の遅延動作を停止する。   The low voltage detecting means 11 is composed of a constant voltage element such as a Zener diode having a low voltage value to be detected, a switching element or the like. When the output voltage VO is a rated voltage, the constant voltage element operates to turn on the switching element. Then, the L level (GND) output is supplied to the delay means 12, and the delay operation of the delay means 12 is stopped.

一方、低電圧検出手段11は、負荷の突入電流が流れ、一次側電流制御手段8が動作して図2に示す電流−電圧特性F1がポイントP2→ポイントP3へ移行する時に、出力電圧VOが低下して定電圧素子が低電圧を検出すると、スイッチング素子をオフ状態にし、Hレベル(低電圧の出力電圧VO)の出力を遅延手段12に供給し、遅延手段12の遅延動作を駆動する。   On the other hand, in the low voltage detection means 11, when the inrush current of the load flows and the primary side current control means 8 operates and the current-voltage characteristic F1 shown in FIG. 2 shifts from the point P2 to the point P3, the output voltage VO is When the voltage decreases and the constant voltage element detects a low voltage, the switching element is turned off, the output of H level (low voltage output voltage VO) is supplied to the delay means 12, and the delay operation of the delay means 12 is driven.

遅延手段12は、抵抗器(R)とコンデンサ(C)のRC積分回路などで構成し、低電圧検出手段11から供給されるHレベル(低電圧の出力電圧VO)の出力でRC時定数を持って所定時間の遅延時間を生成し、この遅延時間で遅らせて二次側電流制御手段9を起動する。例えば、図2に示す電流−電圧特性F1のホイントP2〜P3の途中で、遅延動作に伴う二次側電流制御手段9が動作し、電流−電圧特性F2のポイントP4に移行する。   The delay means 12 is constituted by an RC integration circuit of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C), and the RC time constant is set by the output of the H level (low voltage output voltage VO) supplied from the low voltage detection means 11. Then, a delay time of a predetermined time is generated, and the secondary side current control means 9 is started with a delay by this delay time. For example, in the middle of the points P2 to P3 of the current-voltage characteristic F1 shown in FIG. 2, the secondary side current control means 9 is operated in accordance with the delay operation, and the point shifts to the point P4 of the current-voltage characteristic F2.

このように、この発明に係るシーケンス手段10は、二次側電流制御手段9の動作を一次側電流制御手段8よりも所定時間だけ遅らせる遅延手段12を備えたので、一次側電流制御手段8を用いて負荷の突入電流に対応するとともに、二次側電流制御手段9を用いて過大電流と見なされる突入電流に対して電源を制限または停止することができ、突入電流の負荷を駆動し、過大電流から電源を保護することができる。   Thus, since the sequence means 10 according to the present invention includes the delay means 12 that delays the operation of the secondary side current control means 9 by a predetermined time from the primary side current control means 8, the primary side current control means 8 is It can be used to cope with the inrush current of the load, and the secondary current control means 9 can be used to limit or stop the power supply with respect to the inrush current that is regarded as an excessive current. The power supply can be protected from current.

図4はこの発明に係るスイッチング電源装置の別実施の形態要部ブロック構成図である。図4において、過電流防止手段7のシーケンス手段13は、突入電流検出手段19およびタイマ手段14を備える。なお、シーケンス手段13は、シーケンス手段10の低電圧検出手段11および遅延手段12に代えて突入電流検出手段19およびタイマ手段14を備えた点を除き、図3に示すスイッチング電源装置1と全く同じ構成なので、同じ構成の部分についての説明を省略する。   FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the principal part of another embodiment of the switching power supply according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, the sequence means 13 of the overcurrent prevention means 7 includes an inrush current detection means 19 and a timer means 14. The sequence means 13 is exactly the same as the switching power supply device 1 shown in FIG. 3 except that the inrush current detection means 19 and the timer means 14 are provided instead of the low voltage detection means 11 and the delay means 12 of the sequence means 10. Since it is a structure, the description about the part of the same structure is abbreviate | omitted.

突入電流検出手段19は、出力電圧VO端から負荷に流れる突入電流IRを非接触の変流器などで検知し、検知した突入電流IRを電圧値で検出して基準値と比較することにより、検出した電圧値が基準値を下回る場合には、タイマ手段14を駆動しない。   The inrush current detecting means 19 detects the inrush current IR flowing from the output voltage VO end to the load with a non-contact current transformer or the like, detects the detected inrush current IR with a voltage value, and compares it with a reference value. When the detected voltage value is lower than the reference value, the timer means 14 is not driven.

一方、検出した電圧値が基準値以上の場合には、電圧値に対応した駆動信号(例えば、2進符号)をタイマ手段14に供給し、駆動信号に応じたタイマ値でタイマ手段14を駆動する。   On the other hand, when the detected voltage value is equal to or higher than the reference value, a driving signal (for example, binary code) corresponding to the voltage value is supplied to the timer means 14 and the timer means 14 is driven with a timer value corresponding to the driving signal. To do.

タイマ手段14は、プログラマブルのワンショットマルチバイブレータ等の計時回路で構成し、突入電流検出手段19から供給される駆動信号に基づいて設定されたタイマ値をカウントし、タイマ値に達すると起動信号を二次側電流制御手段9に提供する。   The timer means 14 is constituted by a timing circuit such as a programmable one-shot multivibrator, and counts a timer value set based on the drive signal supplied from the inrush current detecting means 19, and when the timer value is reached, a start signal is given. Provided to the secondary current control means 9.

二次側電流制御手段9は、タイマ手段14から提供される起動信号で起動し、例えば、図2に示す電流−電圧特性F1のホイントP2〜P3の途中で、タイマ動作に伴う二次側電流制御手段9が遅れて動作し、電流−電圧特性F2のポイントP4に移行し、突入電流IPに応じて電流を制限する。   The secondary side current control means 9 is started by the start signal provided from the timer means 14, and, for example, the secondary side current accompanying the timer operation in the middle of the points P2 to P3 of the current-voltage characteristic F1 shown in FIG. The control means 9 operates with a delay, shifts to the point P4 of the current-voltage characteristic F2, and limits the current according to the inrush current IP.

このように、この発明に係るシーケンス手段13は、出力電流を検出する突入電流検出手段19と、突入電流検出手段19が検出した電流に応じて二次側電流制御手段9の動作開始時間を設定するタイマ手段14とを備えたので、二次側電流制御手段9の動作開始時間を自由に設定して突入電流に対応することができ、突入電流に最大限対応して電源を保護することができる。   Thus, the sequence means 13 according to the present invention sets the operation start time of the secondary side current control means 9 according to the inrush current detection means 19 for detecting the output current and the current detected by the inrush current detection means 19. Since the timer means 14 is provided, the operation start time of the secondary side current control means 9 can be freely set to cope with the inrush current, and the power supply can be protected in response to the inrush current to the maximum. it can.

図5はこの発明に係るスイッチング電源装置の別実施の形態要部ブロック構成図である。図5において、過電流防止手段15は、一次側電流制御手段8、二次側電流制御手段9、温度補正手段16を備える。なお、過電流防止手段15が図1に示す過電流防止手段7のシーケンス手段10に代えて温度補正手段16を備えた点を除き、全く同じ構成なので、同じ構成の部分についての説明を省略する。   FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a main part of another embodiment of the switching power supply device according to the present invention. In FIG. 5, the overcurrent prevention unit 15 includes a primary side current control unit 8, a secondary side current control unit 9, and a temperature correction unit 16. Since the overcurrent prevention means 15 has the same configuration except that it includes a temperature correction means 16 instead of the sequence means 10 of the overcurrent prevention means 7 shown in FIG. .

温度補正手段16は、装置温度に対応して変化するサーミスタなどの感温素子で構成し、図2に示す一次側電流制御手段8の電流−電圧特性F1および二次側電流制御手段9の電流−電圧特性F2の動作開始点P2を装置温度が上昇するに伴って出力電流IOの電流IPを少ない(定格電流IMに近付く)方向に移行させ、一次側電流制御手段8および二次側電流制御手段9の過電流保護動作を早めて、発熱による装置の損傷や破壊を防止する。   The temperature correction means 16 is composed of a temperature sensitive element such as a thermistor that changes in accordance with the device temperature. The current-voltage characteristic F1 of the primary current control means 8 and the current of the secondary current control means 9 shown in FIG. The operation start point P2 of the voltage characteristic F2 is shifted in a direction in which the current IP of the output current IO decreases (approaching the rated current IM) as the device temperature rises, and the primary current control means 8 and the secondary current control The overcurrent protection operation of the means 9 is accelerated to prevent damage or destruction of the device due to heat generation.

このように、この発明に係る過電流防止手段15は、装置1の温度上昇に応じて一次側電流制御手段8および二次側電流制御手段9の動作を早める温度補正手段16を備えたので、装置温度が上昇すると、一次側電流制御手段8および二次側電流制御手段9の動作ポイントを突入電流や過大電流に対して低く設定することができ、電源の熱破壊を回避することができる。   As described above, the overcurrent prevention unit 15 according to the present invention includes the temperature correction unit 16 that accelerates the operations of the primary side current control unit 8 and the secondary side current control unit 9 in accordance with the temperature rise of the apparatus 1. When the apparatus temperature rises, the operating points of the primary side current control means 8 and the secondary side current control means 9 can be set lower than the inrush current and the excessive current, and the thermal destruction of the power source can be avoided.

図6はこの発明に係るスイッチング電源装置の別実施の形態要部ブロック構成図である。図6において、過電流防止手段17は、一次側電流制御手段8、二次側電流制御手段9、再起動補正手段18を備える。なお、過電流防止手段17が図1に示す過電流防止手段7のシーケンス手段10に代えて再起動補正手段18を備えた点を除き、全く同じ構成なので、同じ構成の部分についての説明を省略する。   FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a main part of another embodiment of the switching power supply device according to the present invention. In FIG. 6, the overcurrent prevention unit 17 includes a primary side current control unit 8, a secondary side current control unit 9, and a restart correction unit 18. Since the overcurrent prevention means 17 has the same configuration except that it includes a restart correction means 18 instead of the sequence means 10 of the overcurrent prevention means 7 shown in FIG. To do.

容量性負荷に流れる突入電流IPが大きく、一次側電流制御手段8の制御が動作し、電流−電圧特性(『ヘの字特性』)F1でドライブ制御回路4の発振が弱くなったり、停止したりして二次側の出力電圧VOも低い。この状態では、一次側電流制御手段8のOCP(Over Current Protect)電圧がスレッシュホールドを超えている。   The inrush current IP flowing through the capacitive load is large, the control of the primary side current control means 8 operates, and the oscillation of the drive control circuit 4 becomes weak or stops due to the current-voltage characteristic (“C” characteristic) F1. As a result, the output voltage VO on the secondary side is also low. In this state, the OCP (Over Current Protect) voltage of the primary current control means 8 exceeds the threshold.

ドライブ制御回路4の発振が弱くなったり、停止したりしても、一次巻線LPに交流電源が発生すると、補助巻線LHに交流電源が誘導される。再起動補正手段18は、補助巻線LHに発生する交流電源を整流・平滑して直流の補正電圧を発生し、この補正電圧を一次側電流制御手段8に供給し、OCP(Over Current Protect)電圧を低下させ、スレッシュホールドを下回るように構成する。   Even if the oscillation of the drive control circuit 4 becomes weak or stops, when an AC power supply is generated in the primary winding LP, the AC power supply is induced in the auxiliary winding LH. The restart correction means 18 rectifies and smoothes the AC power generated in the auxiliary winding LH to generate a DC correction voltage, supplies this correction voltage to the primary current control means 8, and OCP (Over Current Protect). The voltage is lowered and configured to fall below the threshold.

OCP(Over Current Protect)電圧を補正電圧で補正することにより、一次側電流制御手段8の過電流防止制御が停止し、ドライブ制御回路4が正常に発振してMOSFET−Q1を急激に駆動して一次巻線LPに正常な交流電源を発生させる。   By correcting the OCP (Over Current Protect) voltage with the correction voltage, the overcurrent prevention control of the primary side current control means 8 stops, the drive control circuit 4 oscillates normally, and MOSFET-Q1 is driven rapidly. A normal AC power source is generated in the primary winding LP.

一次巻線LPに正常な交流電源が発生すると、二次巻線LSにも正常な交流電源が誘導され、正規の出力電圧VOが発生する。なお、正規の出力電圧VOが発生した時点で、補助巻線LHから発生した補正電圧を停止させる。   When a normal AC power supply is generated in the primary winding LP, a normal AC power supply is also induced in the secondary winding LS, and a normal output voltage VO is generated. When the normal output voltage VO is generated, the correction voltage generated from the auxiliary winding LH is stopped.

このように、この発明に係る過電流防止手段17は、電源の再起動を早める再起動補正手段18を備えたので、過電流により電源が停止した状態から電源の復旧を早めることができ、電源の再起動を迅速にして性能アップを図ることができる。   As described above, the overcurrent prevention unit 17 according to the present invention includes the restart correction unit 18 that accelerates the restart of the power source. Therefore, the recovery of the power source can be accelerated from a state where the power source is stopped due to the overcurrent. Can be restarted quickly to improve performance.

以上説明したように、この発明に係るスイッチング電源装置は、負荷に流れる突入電流を一次側で検出して制御するとともに、二次側でも検出して制御し、一次側検出・制御と二次側検出・制御を所定順序で実行する過電流防止手段を備えたので、突入電流の流れる短い期間だけ、電源出力を停止させないで、電源出力電圧を低下させながら定格電流以上の突入電流を流すことができ、過電流を検出して制御し、突入電流に対応して電源を動作させ、性能アップを図ることができる。   As described above, the switching power supply according to the present invention detects and controls the inrush current flowing through the load on the primary side, and also detects and controls the secondary side, and detects and controls the primary side and the secondary side. With overcurrent prevention means that performs detection and control in a predetermined order, it is possible to flow an inrush current that exceeds the rated current while lowering the power output voltage without stopping the power output for only a short period during which the inrush current flows. It is possible to detect and control overcurrent, operate the power supply in response to the inrush current, and improve the performance.

本発明に係るスイッチング電源装置は、スイッチング電源の一次側および二次側に、それぞれ電流−電圧特性ならびに動作開始時間の異なる過電流防止手段を採用し、負荷の突入電流を停止しない範疇で制御することができ、容量性の負荷を駆動するあらゆる電源装置に適用することができる。   The switching power supply according to the present invention employs overcurrent prevention means having different current-voltage characteristics and operation start times on the primary side and the secondary side of the switching power supply, respectively, and controls the inrush current of the load in a category that does not stop. It can be applied to any power supply that drives a capacitive load.
