Voice relay circuit

Description: The circuit consists of a sound detection circuit and a monostable trigger circuit that activates a relay. VT1 amplifies the input audio signal. When a signal is detected, the 555 timer is triggered, pulling K. Simultaneously, VT2 conducts, allowing the charge on capacitor C2 to discharge through the internal discharge circuit of the 555 timer and VT2. After the sound ceases, VT1 and VT2 turn off, and C2 charges through resistors R2 and RP2. The stability time of the monostable circuit, denoted as td, is calculated as 1.1 (R2 + RP2) C2, providing a delay range adjustable from 0.05 to 0.5 seconds via RP2.

The circuit described integrates a sound detection mechanism with a monostable trigger for controlling a relay. The sound detection circuit employs a transistor (VT1) to amplify incoming audio signals, ensuring that even low-level sounds can be processed effectively. Upon detection of a sound signal, the 555 timer is activated, which subsequently triggers the relay.

The configuration of the 555 timer in monostable mode allows it to output a single pulse when triggered. The relay (K) serves as an actuator, enabling control of higher power devices in response to sound detection. VT2 plays a crucial role by conducting current during the pulse, which facilitates the rapid discharge of capacitor C2 through both the internal discharge path of the 555 timer and through VT2. This ensures that the output pulse is clean and devoid of noise that could arise from slow discharges.

After the sound signal is no longer present, both transistors (VT1 and VT2) cease conduction, leading to a charging phase for capacitor C2. The rate at which C2 charges is influenced by the resistors R2 and RP2, where R2 provides a fixed resistance and RP2 is a variable resistor allowing for fine-tuning of the delay time. The time constant of the monostable circuit, represented by td, is determined by the equation 1.1 (R2 + RP2) C2, which indicates that the delay can be adjusted between 0.05 to 0.5 seconds depending on the resistance values set by RP2.

This configuration is particularly useful in applications where a temporary activation is required in response to sound, such as in alarm systems, automatic lighting, or other control systems that require a delay before deactivation. The ability to adjust the delay time provides flexibility in various applications, making this circuit a versatile solution for sound-activated control systems. As shown, the circuit by the sound detection circuit and the monostable trigger circuit, the actuator for the relay.

Meanwhile, VT2 conduction, the charge on C2 through the interior of the discharge tube 555 and VT2 immediately discharged. After the sound, VT1, VT2 off, C2 through R2, RP2 charging it monostable circuit transient stability time td l.1 (R2 RP2) C2, delay range from 0.05 to 0.5 seconds, and can be adjusted by RP2 .
