Optical safety switch circuit diagram
The optical safety switch circuit is designed to enhance safety in electronic systems by utilizing light-sensitive components to control the operation of a relay. The configuration begins with the power supply circuit, which plays a critical role in converting the high-voltage AC input (220V) into a usable low-voltage DC output (6V). The transformer (T) steps down the voltage, while the bridge rectifier (UR) converts the AC voltage into DC. The filter capacitor (C2) smooths the rectified output, ensuring a stable DC voltage supply.
In the light control circuit, the photosensitive resistor (RL) detects ambient light levels, adjusting the circuit's response based on light intensity. The resistors (R1 to R3) and the potentiometer (RP) form a voltage divider network that calibrates the sensitivity of the light detection. The transistor (V1) acts as a switch, controlling the flow of current based on the voltage received from the light control circuit. The capacitor (C1) may be used for stability and filtering purposes, further refining the control signal.
The control implementation circuit is responsible for executing the action based on the control signal. Diodes (VD1 and VD2) are used to protect the circuit from back EMF generated by the relay (K) during operation. Transistors (V2 and V3) amplify the control signal to drive the relay, which can connect or disconnect a load based on the light conditions detected by the light control circuit.
Overall, this optical safety switch circuit is a robust solution for applications requiring automatic control based on light levels, enhancing operational safety and efficiency in various electronic devices.The optical safety switch circuit consists of the power supply circuit, light control circuit and control implementation circuit (switch circuit), the circuit is shown as the chart.
