DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

To more clearly explain the invention, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Most emergency power supplies on the present market output DC voltages, which cannot turn on LED lamp tubes with leakage protection when accessed to the LED lamp tubes. So, in order to turn on the LED lamp tubes with leakage protection, the emergency power supplies have to output DC sine waves, which make the emergency power supplies complicated in design, high in cost and large in size. Thus, a novel output method is urgently needed to solve the problems of the prior art.

To overcome the defects and drawbacks of the prior art, the invention specifically provides an emergency output circuit for starting LED lamp tubes with leakage protection, which, as shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, comprises: a charging circuit, a push-pull booster circuit provided with a PWM pulse generator, and a full-bridge inverter circuit, wherein the charging circuit is connected to the PWM pulse generator, and the PWM pulse generator comprises a PWM chip; when a control terminal detects a power outage, a high level is instantly output to the PWM chip, and the PWM chip outputs complementary drive PWM rectangular waves with a controllable dead time to the push-pull booster circuit through two output pins; the push-pull booster circuit boosts and rectifies the rectangular waves into a 250V DC voltage and outputs the 250V DC voltage to the full-bridge inverter circuit; and the full-bridge inverter circuit comprises an inverter and a correction circuit, and the 250V DC voltage output by the push-pull booster circuit is processed by the correction circuit in the inverter to output a stable 135V AC voltage. Most emergency power supplies on the present market output DC voltages, which cannot turn on LED lamp tubes with leakage protection when accessed to the LED lamp tubes, so in order to turn on the lamp tubes with leakage protection, the emergency power supplies have to output AC sine waves. In this solution, the corrected AC rectangular waves UAB output by the emergency output circuit can also meet the requirement for sine wave output. In this embodiment, when the control terminal detects a power outage, a high level is instantly output to a soft-start pin of the PWM chip to slowly increase a voltage of the soft-start pin to 5V. In this embodiment, when the control terminal detects a mains supply, a low level is output to the soft-start pin of the PWM chip, and the two output pins of the PWM chip output low levels. In case of normal mains supply, the charging circuit charges a battery pack BAT+, BOOST-OFF outputs a low level, Q8 is turned off, Q5 is turned on, a pin 8 of the PWM chip outputs a low level, and a pin 11 and a pin 14 of the PWM chip output low levels. When a power outage is detected, BOOST-OFF instantly outputs a high level, Q8 is turned on, Q5 is turned off, the voltage of the pin 8 of the PWM chip is slowly increased to 5V, and the pin 11 and the pin 14 of the PWM chip output complementary drive PWM rectangular waves PWM1 and PWM11 with a controllable dead time.

In this embodiment, the inverter comprises a first NMOS transistor set and a second NMOS transistor set which are turned on alternately, the first NMOS transistor set comprises a first NMOS transistor and a second NMOS transistor, and the second NMOS transistor set comprises a third NMOS transistor and a fourth NMOS transistor; when the first NMOS transistor set is turned on, a current is output from a positive pole of a 250V DC power supply, passes through the first NMOS transistor to reach a live wire of an LED tube with leakage protection, an internal drive power supply of the LED lamp tube with leakage protection and a null wire of the LED tube with leakage protection, then reaches the second NMOS transistor, and finally returns to a negative pole of the power supply; and when the second NMOS transistor set is turned on, a current is output from the positive pole of the 250 DC power supply, passes through the third NMOS transistor to reach the null wire of the LED lamp tube with leakage protection, the internal drive power supply of the LED lamp tube with leakage protection and the live wire of the LED lamp tube with leakage protection, then reaches the fourth NMOS transistor, and finally returns to the negative pole of the power supply. In case of a power outage, after the push-pull booster circuit outputs a stable 250V voltage, a 250V power supply is accessed to the inverter circuit, Q12 and Q15 are turned on, Q13 and Q14 are turned off, a current is output from the positive pole of the DC power supply, passes through Q12, the live wire of the LED lamp tube with leakage protection, the internal drive power supply of the LED lamp tube and the null wire of the LED lamp tube, then reaches Q15, and finally returns to the negative pole of the power supply.

At this moment, alternating square waves are formed on the LED lamp tube, and two pairs of MOS transistors are alternately turned on by means of complementary PWM control to generate an AC voltage UAB on the LED lamp tube.

In this embodiment, the correction circuit comprises a first voltage dividing unit, a time compensation unit and an internal operational amplifier chip; and after the 135V AC voltage is divided by the first voltage dividing unit, the time compensation unit is used for time compensation of a first input terminal of the internal operational amplifier chip for processing. In a preferred embodiment, the correction circuit further comprises a second voltage dividing unit, and a preset voltage input to the correction circuit is divided by the second voltage dividing unit and is then input to a second input terminal of the internal operational amplifier chip.

The approach of emergency output of a corrected wave UAB is as follows:

1. A preset voltage is output, and reaches a pin 2 of the chip U1 after being divided by R64, R67, R73 and R72;

2. After UAB obtains a 250V voltage, the voltage is divided by R2, R68 and R69, D16, R70, R71 and C20 are used for time compensation of the pin 1 of the chip U1, and after being processed by the internal operational amplifier of the chip, a UAB which slowly changes into a stable 135V AC output from a 250 AC output is obtained; and D16, R70, R71 and C20 used for time compensation actually play a role of controlling a corresponding time.

In a preferred embodiment, a first resistor and a first capacitor are connected between an input pin and a compensation pin of the internal operational amplifier chip to be used for loop compensation, and a rectangular wave output by the correction circuit is spread slowly by adjusting parameters of the first resistor and the first capacitor. The pins 1 and 9 of the chip U1, R77 and C26 are used for loop compensation, the parameters of R77 and C26 may be adjusted to slowly spread the rectangular wave output by the UAV to match a present current in the lamp tube with leakage protection, so as to protect users against electric shocks, so that the corrected rectangular wave can turn on the LED lamp tube with leakage protection.

In this embodiment, the push-pull booster comprises a transformer and a full-bridge rectifier circuit, and the PWM rectangular waves with the controllable dead time are boosted by the transformer and are rectified into the 250V DC voltage in the full-bridge rectifier circuit. In a preferred embodiment, the push-pull booster circuit further comprises a filter capacitor connected to the full-bridge rectifier circuit in parallel, and the 250V DC voltage is filtered into a smooth 250V DC voltage in the filter capacitor.
