[0037] If it is detected that the voltage input by the power adapter module is lower than a set threshold, a discharge signal is sent to the farad capacitor, so that the farad capacitor inputs a discharge voltage to the UPS power control module;

[0038] The UPS power supply control module is further configured to input the discharge voltage to the control mainboard via the mainboard power supply input interface.

[0039] Optionally, the UPS power control module is also used to send a shutdown save signal to the control main board through the switch and hard disk indication interface when it is determined that the voltage input by the power adapter module is lower than the set threshold value.

[0040] Optionally, the UPS power control module is also used to charge the farad capacitor based on the rated DC voltage when it detects that the voltage input by the power adapter module is the rated DC voltage, and stop inputting the rated DC voltage to the farad capacitor when it detects that the voltage of the farad capacitor reaches the rated DC voltage.

[0041] Optionally, the UPS power supply control module is further configured to stop inputting power to the control mainboard when it is determined that the discharge voltage input by the UPS power supply control module to the control mainboard is less than a set threshold.

[0042] Optionally, the rated DC voltage is DC24V, and the set threshold is DC20V.

[0043] Optionally, the circuit further includes a switch and a hard disk indicator light button;

[0044] The switch and hard disk indicator light button are connected to the fifth end of the UPS power control module.

[0045] Optionally, the switch and hard disk indicator light button are used to send a power-on signal to the UPS power control module, and the power-on signal is used to instruct the UPS power control module to control whether to supply power to the control mainboard according to the power-on signal;

[0046] The UPS power supply control module is further configured to receive a switch feedback signal sent by the control mainboard through the mainboard and hard disk indication interface, and send the switch feedback signal to the switch and hard disk indicator button;

[0047] The switch and hard disk indicator light button is also used to receive the switch feedback signal sent by the UPS power control module, and control the indicator light to indicate the working status of the corresponding hard disk on the control mainboard according to the switch feedback signal.

[0048] Optionally, the voltage of the external power input is AC220V-AC240V.

[0049] For example, the UPS power control module is equivalent to an automatic power path selection circuit:

[0050] (1) When the external AC power supply is working properly, the power adapter will work normally and output the rated DC voltage (DC24V). The UPS power control module detects the voltage of the power adapter and selects the power adapter circuit to directly power the motherboard through the motherboard power input port. At the same time, the UPS power control module charges the farad capacitor by boosting the voltage until the voltage is balanced.

[0051] At the same time, it will detect whether the motherboard is turned on through the switch and hard disk indicator light interface. If it is not turned on, a switch message will be sent to turn on the motherboard and realize the automatic power-on function when a call is received.

[0052] (2) When the external AC power supply is cut off, the power adapter output is abnormal and the output voltage is close to 0V. The UPS source control module detects the voltage of the power adapter and selects the farad capacitor to discharge. The output voltage is controlled by the UPS source control module to step down or step up, and the motherboard is powered by a stable voltage (DC24V) through the connected motherboard power input port.

[0053] At the same time, the UPS power control module sends a switch signal through the switch and hard drive indicator interface on the mainboard, prompting the mainboard to shut down. The mainboard's automatic work preservation software immediately saves the data of the currently running software and shuts down the computer, implementing the automatic save and shutdown function during power outages. When the output voltage of the UPS power control module falls below the set threshold (for example, DC20V), the output stops immediately.

[0054] (3) The switch and hard disk indicator light button sends the power-on signal to the UPS source control module. The UPS source control module controls whether to supply power to the motherboard based on the power-on and power-off signal, and feeds back the hard disk working signal returned by the motherboard to the switch and hard disk indicator light button. The working status of the hard disk is displayed by the color of the indicator light or whether it is lit.

[0055] (4) The switch and hard disk indicator light interface on the motherboard is used to bidirectionally transmit the motherboard power on / off signal and feedback the hard disk working status.

[0056] The circuit of the present invention is built into the gateway chassis, and has the function of continuous internal power supply when the external power is cut off, ensuring that the gateway has enough time to automatically locate the data and shut down normally. At the same time, when an external AC call comes in, it will automatically turn on. Continuous power supply is provided after the AC power is cut off, ensuring that the gateway has enough time to automatically locate the data and shut down normally. (The specific continuous power supply time is determined by the capacity of the farad capacitor. Generally, the farad capacitor can ensure continuous normal power supply for more than 30 seconds). At the same time, it can realize the automatic power-on function when an AC call comes in. The continuous power supply system is pre-installed and built-in, and does not require any external equipment assistance, and does not require any additional wiring and operation. The continuous power supply system has only two components, the farad capacitor and the UPS power control module, which takes up little space. Generally, there is no need to design an additional chassis to make room to install the system corresponding to the present invention.

[0057] Through the above method, the first end of the power adapter module is connected to the first end of the UPS power control module, the second end of the power adapter module is connected to the external power supply, the first end of the mainboard power input interface is connected to the second end of the UPS power control module, the second end of the mainboard power input interface is connected to the control mainboard, the first end of the switch and hard disk indication interface is connected to the third end of the UPS power control module, the second end of the switch and hard disk indication interface is connected to the control mainboard, and the farad capacitor is connected to the fourth end of the UPS power control module. This ensures that the internal power supply can continue to be supplied during external power outages, ensuring that the gateway has sufficient time to automatically save data and shut down normally, and ensuring that user data is not lost.

[0058] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a control circuit of an intelligent converged gateway according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the circuit includes: external AC power supply input, motherboard (switch and hard disk indicator) interface, power adapter, farad capacitor, UPS power control module, motherboard power input interface, and motherboard.

[0059] For example, an external AC power supply is used to supply power to each module. When the external AC power supply is supplying power normally, the power adapter is in normal working condition and outputs the rated DC voltage. The UPS power control module user detects the voltage of the power adapter input and selects the power adapter circuit to directly supply power to the mainboard through the connected mainboard power input port. At the same time, the UPS power control module charges the farad capacitor by boosting the voltage until the pressure of the farad capacitor is the same as the rated DC voltage output by the adapter.

[0060] The switch and hard disk indicator light interface is used to detect whether the motherboard is currently in the power-on state. If it is not in the power-on state, a switch command is sent to control the motherboard to start working, realizing the automatic power-on function when a call is received.

[0061] When the external AC power supply is cut off, the power adapter output is abnormal and the output voltage is close to 0V. The UPS power control module detects the voltage of the power adapter and chooses to discharge the farad capacitor. The output constant voltage is controlled by the UPS power control module to step down or step up, and the motherboard is powered by a stable voltage (DC24V) through the connected motherboard power input port.

[0062] At the same time, the UPS power control module sends a switch signal through the switch and hard drive indicator interface on the mainboard, prompting the mainboard to shut down. The mainboard's automatic work preservation software immediately saves the data of the currently running software and shuts down the computer, implementing the automatic save and shutdown function during power outages. When the output voltage of the UPS power control module falls below the set threshold (for example, DC20V), the output stops immediately.

[0063] The switch and hard disk indicator light button sends the power-on signal to the UPS source control module. The UPS source control module controls whether to supply power to the motherboard based on the power-on and power-off signal, and feeds back the hard disk working signal returned by the motherboard to the switch and hard disk indicator light button. The working status of the hard disk is displayed by the color of the indicator light or whether it is lit.

[0064] The switch and hard disk indicator light interface on the motherboard is used to bidirectionally transmit the motherboard power on / off signal and feedback the hard disk working status.

[0065] Through the above method, the power supply is continuously supplied after the AC power is cut off, ensuring that the gateway has enough time to automatically locate the data and shut down normally. (The specific continuous power supply time is determined by the capacity of the farad capacitor. Generally, the farad capacitor guarantees continuous normal power supply for more than 30 seconds). It can realize the automatic power-on function when an AC call comes in. The continuous power supply system is pre-installed and built-in, without the need for any external equipment assistance, and without any additional wiring and operation. The continuous power supply system has only two components, the farad capacitor and the UPS power control module, which takes up little space. Generally, there is no need to design an additional chassis to make room for the installation of this patented system.

[0067] processor;

[0068] a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;
