The use of a pulse voltage converter makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the power source, which is especially important for portable structures.

Switching mains voltage converter
Rice. 5.9. Switching voltage converter (click to enlarge)

The converter (Fig. 5.9) is designed to power devices from a 220 V network with a current consumption of up to 3 A at Uout = 9,2 V (any typical linear stabilizer circuit can be used to obtain 5 or 6 V from this voltage).

The proposed converter differs from similar ones in simplicity and in the presence of protection of the power supply against overload in the output circuit in the event of a short circuit.

The electrical circuit of the device consists of an input filter (elements C1, C2, C3 and T1); start circuits (R2, R3, R4, C4, VT1); oscillator (VT2, VT3, T2, TZ, C5); low voltage rectifier (VD5, VD6, C12, C13). The converter is assembled according to a half-bridge circuit.

The input filter of the converter provides attenuation of noise starting from a frequency of 15 kHz by more than 2 times.

The trigger circuit uses a transistor VT1 in the reversible breakdown mode, which allows you to generate short pulses that are necessary at the moment the circuit is turned on to start the operation of the key stage VT2, VT3 in the oscillator mode at a frequency of 30 ... 60 kHz, while the operating frequency is in small limits, you can change the capacity of C5.

In the event of a short circuit in the secondary winding circuit of the TK transformer, the feedback in the self-oscillator is broken and the generation is interrupted until the malfunction is eliminated.

The efficiency of the converter at a load current of 2 A is 0,74 (at a current of 4 A-0,63).

Resistors of any type can be used in the device, capacitors C1 of type K73-17 for 630 V; C2, C3 type K73-9 or K73-17 for 250 V; C4, C5 type K10-7; C6, C7 type K50-35 for 250 V; C8, C9 type K73-9 for 250 V; C10...C12 type K10-17; C13 type K52-1V for 20 V.

Transistor VT1 can be replaced by KT312A, B, C, transistors VT2 and VT3 by KT838A, KT846V.

The T1 inductor is wound on two ring cores glued together, size K20x12x6, made of 2000NM grade ferrite. Windings 1 and 2 each contain 45 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,25 mm. The T2 transformer is made on two ring cores glued together, size K10x6x3, made of 2000NM ferrite. Winding 1 contains 60 turns, windings 2 and 3 - 15 turns of PELSHO-0,15 wire each (tap in winding 2 for current feedback from the third turn). For the manufacture of TK, an annular core K28x16x9 (2000NM) was used. Winding 1 is wound with 250 turns of PEV-2 wire 0,25, windings 2 and 3 are wound with 22 turns of PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 0,51 mm.

In the manufacture of transformers, before winding the wire, it is necessary to round off the sharp edges of the cores with a needle file and wrap them with varnished cloth. Winding is carried out turn to turn, followed by insulation of each layer (it is better to use a fluoroplastic tape 0,1 mm thick).

The applied diodes VD1...VD4 can be replaced by any high-voltage diodes, the replacement of diodes VD5 and VD6, except for KD2998V, is not recommended with another type.

The greatest heat dissipation in the circuit occurs on the rectifier diodes VD5, VD6, and they must be installed on a radiator. The remaining parts of the circuit do not need a heat sink.

Structurally, all elements of the circuit, except for the switch S1 and diodes VD5, VD6, are placed on a single-sided printed circuit board 140x65 mm in size. The topology of the printed circuit board is shown in fig. 5.10.

Before turning on the converter for the first time, it is necessary to check the phases of the windings in the VT2 and VT3 base circuits for compliance with the circuit. If the converter, with proper installation, does not immediately start working, then it will be necessary to swap the terminals of winding 1 at transformer T2.

In conclusion, it should be noted that, using this scheme, other voltages can be obtained in the secondary circuit, for which it is necessary to proportionally change the number of turns in the secondary windings 2 and 3 of the transformer TK.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Wireless charging for Toyota electric vehicles 11.12.2013

Toyota Motor Corporation has entered into an agreement with WiTricity Corporation, a manufacturer of induction chargers. The peculiarity of WiTricity's business model is that it does not sell finished products, but licenses for their development. Through the collaboration, Toyota will gain access to WiTricity Corporation technologies. The ultimate goal is to equip both all-electric and hybrid Toyota vehicles with wireless battery charging systems.

Chargers based on WiTricity patents use the classic effect of electromagnetic induction, which involves the interaction of two coils with current. In this case, one of the coils is built into the transmitter connected to the electrical network (it can lie, for example, on the garage floor), and the second coil is located inside the car. The battery starts charging automatically when the car is parked over the transmitter.

With regard to passenger cars, the technology allows charging an "empty" battery in 4 hours, while transferring from 3,3 to 6 kW of energy. This figure can reach 25 kW for larger vehicles. The developers report that wireless charging takes about the same time as conventional charging from the mains.

To date, it has not been specified in which Toyota car models WiTricity technology will be used. In August 2013, the Japanese automaker announced plans to add wireless charging capabilities to its green Prius line. At that time, it was about the 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In model.

There are more than 2445 CHAdeMO express charging stations globally today, roughly double the number from a year earlier, according to analysts at IHS Automotive. CHAdeMO technology is supported by more than 57 electric vehicles (including Mitsubishi i-MiEv, Nissan Leaf and Honda Fit EV models), accounting for about 80% of the non-ICE vehicle market.

The cost of installing one CHAdeMO charging station is in the range of 20-30 thousand dollars. Such a station makes it possible to charge the batteries in about 20 minutes, although, of course, this is still much longer when compared with the time of refueling gasoline at a conventional gas station.

Tesla Motors is working on a faster "recharge" method. The company equips its vehicles with rechargeable batteries that can be replaced after being discharged at specialized stations. This battery replacement takes only 10 minutes.
