The utility model provides a mechanical arm power-down protection circuit and a sweeping
robot, and relates to the technical field of
motor control, the mechanical arm power-down protection circuit comprises a power supply module, a micro-control module, a
relay and a mechanical arm control module, when the power supply module supplies power, a control end of the
relay is electrified to control a common end to be conducted with a second connecting end, and the mechanical arm control module controls the micro-control module. The micro-control module controls the power supply module to be connected with the input end of the motor. When the power supply module is powered off, the control end of the
relay is powered off, the common end is connected with the first connecting end, the input end of the motor is connected with the grounding end, and a coil of the motor forms loop current and generates resistance to slow down descending of the mechanical arm. By means of the automatic switching function of the relay, the connection state of the motor is rapidly switched when a power source is
cut off, resistance is generated through the physical characteristics of the motor so as to slow down descending of the mechanical arm, the circuit structure is simple, cost is low, large installation space does not need to be occupied, and the circuit can be applied to mechanical arms of various sizes and models; and the method has a relatively wide application range.
