Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a circuit from breaking down if a short circuit is formed between an emitter and a collector and an open state is caused between a base and the emitter by monitoring a base potential and stopping voltage supply to the collector in case of a fault. CONSTITUTION:When base potentials of power transistors (TR) are at a level ''H'', currents flow through coils 7 and 8 to drive printing pins. If the power TRs 1 and 2 are short-circuited between emitters and collectors and open between bases and emitters, base potentials rise. At this time, the potential between both terminals of a resistance 11 also rises, so an iut voltage to a voltage comparator 12 exceeds a reference voltage. Therefore, the output of the voltage comparator 12 goes up to the level ''H'' and consequently while a fuse 14 with a contact is burned out, the contact is opened to stop the power supply to the power TRs.

[, 1 and 2 are Darlington Power Transistors 41. 3 and 4 are resistors, 5 and 6 are diodes, 7 and 8 are drive magnets for driving the print bin, 9 is a relay contact, 10 and 11): ! Resistors, vH and vL represent power supplies, and I and I represent input signals, respectively. For example, the power supply ■ is 36 volts, and the power supply V
L is, for example, 5 volts. When the input signal 11 is low level, the power transistor l is in the off state 1! lAl1
When the input signal 11 is kept at a high level, the power transistor 1 is turned on and current flows through the drive magnet 7. As a result, a print bin (not shown) corresponding to the drive magnet 7 is driven. The power transistor 2 side also performs a similar operation. When the power source 1 is turned on, a relay (not shown) is energized, and the double contact 9 is closed. Relay contact 9 turns off when power supply voltage reaches a desired voltage value 11 . If the relay contact is closed, the power transistor 1.2 will not turn on. During periods of unstable supply voltage, closing the relay contact 9 will prevent power on/off.
Guaranteed operation when disconnected. By the way, transistors fail at a predetermined failure rate. If a circuit occurs between the collector electrode and the power transistor of the power transistor, a large current will flow, so this failure can be detected relatively easily. However, even if a fault occurs in the power transistor transistor IK; recorder-to-base sheet and an open circuit between the base and the , resistor 3 or 4 may burn out. [Object of the Invention] The present invention is based on the above considerations and includes a power transistor and a low level power transistor until the power supply voltage is established at power-on. In a drive circuit configured to turn off a power transistor jIv at 11,l:. ) Langister's = shi! It is an object of the present invention to provide a transistor abnormality detection method that can reliably detect failures such as short circuits between A and P and open circuits between B and I. [Structure of the Invention] And σ) Therefore, 1. The abnormality detection method of the transistor 4 of the present invention consists of a plurality of power transistors that are turned off when the base is at a low level and turned on when the base is at a high level, and each of the above-mentioned plurality of σ ) a plurality of loads connected to the collector of the power transistor, a high potential σ) a first power supply, a plurality of loads, the first power supply and σ) a switching means provided at the connection, and a low potential; a second power source, a plurality of resistors provided between the base of each of the power transistors and the second power source, a reference potential source, an emitter I of each of the power transistors, and the reference potential source. a signal line whose one end is connected to the reference potential source via a resistor; and a plurality of diodes whose anodes are connected to the base of each of the power transistors and whose anodes are connected to the signal line; In a drive circuit comprising means for shorting both ends of the resistor of the signal line when the power supply voltage is not established and for opening both ends of the resistor when the power supply voltage is established, a comparison circuit for comparing with a set value; a means for operating the opening/closing means when the comparison circuit detects that the potential on the signal line is greater than the set value;
It is also #) that is featured in V. [Embodiments of the Invention] The present invention will be described below with reference to drawings V and Y#. Figure 2 is the electrical circuit of the σ11 contribution of the present invention.
In the figure, 12 is a comparison circuit, 13 is a power transistor, 14 is a fuse with contacts, and 15 and 16 are resistors, respectively. Note that the same reference numerals as No. 1- indicate the same items. The fuse 14 with a contact closes the contact when the fuse is not blown, and opens the contact V when the fuse is broken.
), W! When the dotted fuse 14 is not blown, the power supply voltage vII is applied to the power transistors 1, 2tI. Assuming that a failure occurs in the power transistor IK EMI2 = REF - connection and the BASE A2 connection open, the pace potential of the power transistor Jl will rise, and the resistance of the resistor 11 will increase accordingly. The potential at the top end also rises.The potential at the top end of the resistor 11 also rises. The upper end voltage of the resistor 11 is applied to the + side human power terminal of the comparator circuit 12, and when this voltage becomes larger than a set value, the comparator circuit 12 outputs a high level signal. When comparator circuit 12 outputs a high level note, power transistor 13 is turned on, the fuse of contact fuse 14 is blown, and its contacts are opened. In the above embodiment, a fuse Y with a contact is used, but when a failure occurs such as a short circuit between the collector and the emitter and an open circuit between the base and the emitter, this fuse is stored in the Y clip-flop, and the fuse When the switch is operated, the power supply voltage VH is the power transistor J1.2σ)
The voltage may not be applied to the collector. [Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, by simply adding a few parts to the existing drive circuit, the Short-circuit between base and emitter and open between base and emitter.
It can be detected in the center.
