For many years, TVs have been using power supplies, which are switching sources that convert a high direct voltage (about 300 V) into a series of also constant output voltages of other (usually lower) values, for example, 125, 60, 25, 15 V, etc.

High voltage is obtained from alternating (50 Hz) mains 220 V using a full-wave rectifier, and output voltages are obtained from pulsed, relatively high repetition rates (tens of kilohertz), formed mainly on the secondary windings of the power transformer.

Between these nodes, a rather complex pulse converter is connected, the driving part of which is assembled on a microcircuit or transistors, which often fail. And it is not always possible to immediately find the necessary new parts to replace the faulty ones.

Fig. 1

In order to make the TV work, you can temporarily assemble a very simple switching converter according to the circuit shown in fig. 1. The output powerful transistor VT1 is left in the device (of the PSU itself or replaced by its serviceable or analogue), the collector and emitter terminals of which are connected to the existing TV circuits. The connection is shown for the Yunost 42TTs408D TV, and all nodes of the driving part of the power supply converter must be disconnected from the base of the transistor. Of course, in another TV, the collector circuits of the transistor may look different, but they are left unchanged.

The base circuit of the transistor VT1 is assembled according to the presented scheme. It uses elements R2 (R28 by numbering on the TV), VD1 (VD10), VD2 (VD11) from the TV PSU with a change in inclusion and new additional parts R1, R3, C1. Capacitor C1 - K73-9 for a voltage of 100 V.

As a result, such a converter is a blocking oscillator, the voltage oscillograms at characteristic points of which can be seen in Fig. 2 when using the device in the above TV. In other devices that use different transformers, the waveforms may differ slightly.

Transistor VT1 is installed on the heat sink available in the PSU. In addition, an additional metal plate is screwed to the heat sink, which approximately doubles its scattering area.

To set the converter to the nominal mode, it is necessary to rotate the trimmer resistor R2 to obtain the required line voltage - in our case, 125 V at the output of the rectifier in the secondary circuit.

It should be pointed out again that the use of such a converter is a temporary measure, since the stability of the resulting voltages will be low. As a result, when changing the brightness of the image, its size also changes slightly.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Jellyfish robots to clean up the oceans of debris 02.05.2023

Scientists within cybernetics are often inspired by creatures of nature. So this time, inventors from the Institute of Physics of the Max Planck Society (Germany) hit me with jellyfish. The result of this inspiration is a jellyfish robot that can remove debris from delicate ocean environments like coral reefs.

The new works are no bigger than the palm of a hand and consist of six actuators filled with artificial muscles. These muscles are filled with oil sacs covered with electrodes, and when current is applied they receive a positive charge. They then discharge current into the surrounding negatively charged water, causing the oil in the sacs to move around and cause the robots to oscillate.

This whole process creates a plunger-like flow in the water and lifts up small particles picked up by the robot. Thanks to this, the robotic jellyfish is not only able to collect garbage and filter water, but is also able to capture small biological samples such as fish eggs. At the same time, the mechanism does not pollute the environment at all and is completely silent.

However, the remarkable robot has one serious drawback: it is connected to a power source using a wire, which seriously limits its mobility.

The research team is already working on a battery operation pattern so that the mechanism can move in any direction. And in the future, such jobs could do housework in the ocean and purify the water.

Telemaster
The beginning is good, but the most important thing was forgotten - TRANSFORMER !!! I don't have any data. What section, what kind of ferrite or iron, how much to wind, what kind of wire, etc. ????? In the absence of information, this scheme does not make sense. Why did you write it at all?
