8.4.1 Elementary optocoupler - photonic coupled pair

An optocoupler is an active element that combines a light source and a photodetector matched with it, in which an external electrical signal is converted into an optical one, amplified, then converted back into an electrical one, or vice versa, but the gain must be greater than unity.

The main advantage is the ability to separate the input and output circuits, i.e. galvanic or optical isolation takes place.

Optocouplers are divided into two types:

a) optocoupler with external photonic coupling and internal electrical coupling.

In Figure 8.14, FP is a photodetector, U is an amplifier of electrical signals, IS is a light source.

Output brightness V EXIT changes proportionally to the input VX. The optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, then amplified by an electronic amplifier and converted back into an optical signal.

If IN OUT > IN IN with the same spectral composition, then there is a homochromatic amplification of radiation; if IN OUT > IN IN and different spectra, there is a heterochromatic amplification or conversion of radiation. It is possible to convert one wavelength to another. With optical FP and IC, light is amplified.

The main characteristic of the optocoupler - transfer - V OUT = f (V IN) is shown in Figure 8.15. The working section is the linear part of the characteristic; at high and low brightness values, nonlinearity appears.

Optocoupler is the basis of optoelectronic amplifiers and image converters. The image at the input of a matrix consisting of a large number of optocouplers will be amplified or converted at the output (for example, invisible to visible);

B) optocoupler with internal photonic coupling (Figure 8.16).

Here IS is the light source, C is the light guide, and FP is the photodetector. All this is placed in a sealed, light-proof housing. The electrical signal is converted to optical, amplified, and converted back to electrical.

Optocouplers are used for converting, amplifying, generating, shaping an electrical signal, etc.

If an optocoupler has one emitter and one receiver, it is called an optocoupler or elementary optocoupler.

A microcircuit consisting of several optocouplers with additional matching and amplifying devices is called an optoelectronic integrated circuit.

The advantages of optocouplers are:

a) electrical isolation of the receiver and emitter;

b) wide frequency band (0...10 14 Hz);

c) increased noise immunity from external electromagnetic fields;

d) the possibility of combining with other semiconductor devices.

Disadvantages include:

a) high power consumption;

b) low temperature stability and radiation resistance;

c) aging and changes in parameters;

d) high level of intrinsic noise.

8.4.2 Types of optocouplers

Mainly as a light source in
optocouplers use injection LEDs. The emission spectrum depends on the material of manufacture and differs by the type of photodetector:

a) resistor optocoupler (Figure 8.17a), in which the light source is an LED, the photodetector is a photoresistor made of cadmium selenide, cadmium sulfide or lead;

b) diode optocoupler (Figure 8.17b) is a combination of an LED (GaAs) with a photodiode (Si);

c) photovaricap optocoupler (Figure 8.17c);

d) transistor optocoupler – gallium arsenide LED with a silicon phototransistor (Figure 8.17d);

e) an optocoupler with a composite transistor, it has higher sensitivity, but low performance (Figure 8.17, e);

f) transistor optocoupler with a diode (Figure 8.17, f), the performance is higher than that of the previous optocoupler;

g) optocoupler with a unijunction transistor (Figure 8.17h).

A unijunction phototransistor can be used:

1) as a photoresistor when only the bases are turned on;

2) as a photodiode when only the emitter junction is turned on;

3) as a unijunction transistor when all three electrodes are turned on;

i) an optocoupler with a field-effect transistor has good linear output characteristics and is convenient for use in analog circuits;

j) thyristor optocoupler. It differs from photoresistor and photodiode optocouplers in its high load capacity at increased operating voltages.

Optoelectronic integrated circuits (OE ICs) have optical communication between individual components. These microcircuits based on diode, transistor and thyristor optocouplers, in addition to light sources and photodetectors, contain devices for processing signals from the photodetector. The peculiarity of the OE IC is unidirectional signal transmission and the absence of feedback. The technology of optoelectronic devices is promising and constantly evolving.

A significant drawback of a technically complex product is a good reason to legally and fully return money to the buyer. Paragraph 1 of article number 20 of the current code of laws for the protection of consumer rights states that a significant drawback is the inability to use the purchased technical device or device for its intended purpose. At the same time, it is impossible to fix the problem yourself without additional time and financial resources.

Distinctive features of technically complex products

The category of technically complex products includes various devices, the operation of which is based on the consumption of certain energy resources, and their user functionality is implemented at a complex technical level.

The packaging of such products requires the presence of detailed instructions for use (in several languages). According to current legislation, the list of technically complex goods includes the following equipment:

  • air conditioners, washing machines and dishwashers;
  • refrigerators, coffee machines, electric stoves;
  • digital photo and video cameras, lenses;
  • modern gaming consoles with wireless control;
  • GPS navigators equipped with a touch screen;
  • yachts, boats, snowmobiles and other vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines;
  • drones and radio-controlled cars.

Significant deficiencies include defects that appear after repair work has been carried out and require certain financial investments to correct them.

How to determine the presence of a significant deficiency

According to current legislation, a significant defect of a product is recognized if it has been subject to repeated breakdowns or, shortly after purchase, the main and most expensive element of the device has failed.

Such situations include a breakdown of the motherboard on a laptop or the compressor of a household climate control system. If we are talking about a damaged handle of a recently purchased refrigerator, then such a defect is not considered significant and is not subject to any compensation from the seller.

Article 18 (clause 5) of the Federal Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights states that all financial costs associated with conducting an examination to identify a significant defect fall on the shoulders of the seller of the product. If the defect has been proven, the buyer has the right to demand from the seller:

  • refund in full;
  • free repairs;
  • a significant discount equivalent to the identified defect.

The seller can replace the defective product to the buyer with a new copy of a similar brand or offer him a cheaper or more expensive option, taking into account the recalculation of the cost.

What actions should the consumer take?

In the case of purchasing a technically complex product that has a significant drawback, the consumer has more grounds for returning the money paid than when purchasing products of other categories. It is important to identify all shortcomings during the two-week period of purchasing the product.

If this deadline is missed, the buyer himself will have to eliminate the defects. The dialogue with the seller must be recorded in writing. It is necessary to draw up a document containing a well-formulated claim and a list of requirements from the buyer.

The text should include the following information:

  1. Applicant's passport details.
  2. Information about the product and the detected damage.
  3. Date of purchase and exact time of filing the claim.
  4. List of requirements from the buyer.

When transferring a technically complex product with a discovered significant defect from the buyer to the seller, the equipment must be sealed in the presence of the dissatisfied party.

Such a step is necessary in order to prevent unauthorized access to the internal parts of the product and simulating a breakdown, shifting responsibility onto the shoulders of the consumer. After completing the sealing procedure for the goods, a return document is signed, which provides comprehensive information regarding the current condition of the equipment.

Video about returning a technically complex product

If the seller decides to refuse in response to a correctly submitted claim, he must explain his refusal in writing. If the explanations contradict current legislation, the buyer must insist on an independent examination.

The owner of the goods is allowed to be present during the actions of the expert commission. If the buyer does not agree with the final conclusion made by the experts, he can appeal this decision in court. At the same time, you can turn to representatives of the Consumer Rights Protection Committee for help.

A defect in a product is a non-compliance of a product (work, service) with either the mandatory requirements provided for by law or in the manner established by it, or the terms of the contract (in their absence or incomplete conditions with the usually presented requirements), or the purposes for which the product (work, service) of this kind usually used, or for the purposes of which the seller (performer) was informed by the consumer when concluding the contract, or by sample and (or) description when selling goods according to the sample and (or) description.

Based on “clause 1 of Article 20” of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, a significant defect in a product (work, service), the occurrence of which entails the legal consequences provided for in “Articles 18” and “29” of the Law, should be understood:

A) fatal defect of goods(works, services) - lack, which cannot be eliminated by taking measures to eliminate it in order to bring a product (work, service) into compliance with the mandatory requirements provided for by law or in the manner established by it, or the terms of the contract (in their absence or incomplete conditions - usually the requirements), leading to the impossibility or inadmissibility of using this product (work, service) services) for the purposes for which a product (work, service) of this kind is usually used, or for the purposes of which the seller (performer) was informed by the consumer when concluding the contract, or with a sample and (or) description when selling goods based on the sample and (or) according to the description;

B) shortage of goods(works, services), which cannot be eliminated without disproportionate costs, - a defect, the costs of eliminating which are close to the cost or exceed the cost of the product (work, service) itself or the benefit that could be received by the consumer from its use.
In relation to a technically complex product, the disproportionate cost of eliminating the defects of the product is determined by the court based on the characteristics of the product, the price of the product or its other properties;

V) shortage of goods(works, services), which cannot be eliminated without a disproportionate amount of time, - a defect, the elimination of which takes time exceeding the period established by agreement of the parties in writing and limited to forty-five days for eliminating the defect of the product, and if such a period is not determined by agreement of the parties - time exceeding the minimum period objectively necessary to eliminate this defect usually the method used;

G) shortage of goods(works, services), repeatedly identified, - various shortcomings of the entire product, identified more than once, each of which individually makes the product (work, service) not comply with the mandatory requirements provided for by law or in the manner established by it, or the terms of the contract (in their absence or incomplete conditions - usually imposed requirements) and leads to the impossibility or inadmissibility of using this product (work, service) for the purposes for which a product (work, service) of this kind is usually used, or for the purposes of which the seller (performer) was informed by the consumer when concluding the contract , or sample and (or) description when selling goods according to the sample and (or) description;

d) a deficiency that reappears after it has been eliminated, - a product defect that reappears after measures have been taken to eliminate it.

In relation to a technically complex product, as a defect in the product under “clause 1 of Article 18” of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, one should understand various defects of the product, the elimination of which together takes time, leading to the impossibility of using the product (work, service) for more than thirty days in during each year of the warranty period.

Product defects mean

Non-compliance with mandatory requirements. As a rule, this is a manufacturing defect (damage, defect, breakdown) resulting from non-compliance of the product (work, service) with GOST/technical regulations, law, or other mandatory requirements. Typically, such shortcomings appear during operation. For example, a cell phone has stopped working or started freezing, or the dye in your shoes or clothing has become unstable. If we talk about the result of the work, then this could be, for example, swelling of the tabletop in manufactured furniture, etc.

Does not match the sample(description). For example, when concluding a contract for the purchase and sale of furniture based on a sample, you are offered a choice of samples of the material from which the furniture will be made. These could be fabric samples, wood colors, etc. The name of the sample you choose is included in the contract. Failure to comply with the sample you have chosen will constitute a sale of a product of inadequate quality (even if the product itself is made without defects).

Non-compliance with the contract. The case is similar to the previous one, only in addition to non-compliance with the sample, the product may not correspond to the article, specification, quantity and many other criteria that are specified in the contract. Speaking about a service (using a tourist service as an example), an example could be a discrepancy between the actual star rating of the hotel and that indicated in the contract.

Inconsistency with goals, about which the seller was informed by the buyer. For example, it is obvious that a rain umbrella, according to its intended purpose, should not allow water to pass through. But there are also special cases when we ourselves ask the seller (performer) to sell a product (perform work) that meets our goals.
The seller is informed of specific goals, as a rule, verbally, in the process of selecting a product. For example, you need to purchase a hacksaw for metal, and the seller offers you one for wood or concrete, saying that it will also work. During use, such a hacksaw, of course, may become unsuitable for use. However, even despite the fact that you violated the operating instructions and used the hacksaw for other purposes, it is considered that you were sold a product of inadequate quality, as not corresponding to the purposes of which you notified the seller. However, difficulties may arise here due to the fact that the goals themselves are not recorded anywhere, that is, there is no evidence that you informed the seller about specific goals.

Mechanical damage. If we talk about the classification of this defect, then it will be its non-compliance with the contract or mandatory requirements. But, since, when talking about mechanical damage, we are treading on thin ice, we need to be more careful and attentive here. When you make a purchase or accept the result of work, you are often given the opportunity to sign an acceptance certificate for the goods (or a certificate of completion of work). In most cases, the product itself is in the packaging, and gullible consumers do not open it. However, without opening the packaging and checking the product, you deprive yourself of the right to demand a refund or replacement of the product if you find mechanical damage on it. Indeed, as a general rule, the risk of accidental loss and damage to the goods passes to the consumer from the moment of payment for the goods and its acceptance (Article 459 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). And if the result of the work is accepted, the consumer-customer is obliged to inspect the result and, if there are no shortcomings, indicate them in the act, otherwise he will subsequently be deprived of the right to refer to them (Article 720 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Thus, mechanical damage can occur both as a result of manufacturing defects and as a result of improper transportation/handling prior to the transfer of the goods to the consumer. Therefore, be sure to carefully inspect the goods before signing the acceptance certificate!
