[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0042] See also Figure 1, a circuit diagram of a multi-component system provided by the first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, for the sake of convenience of explanation, only the part related to this embodiment is shown, which is described in detail as follows:

[0043] The multi-component system in this embodiment includes: multiple components including switching circuits, all of which are electrically connected to each other; when any switching circuit is turned on or off, an on signal or an off signal is sent to all other switching circuits, and the on signal or the off signal is used to control the corresponding components to be turned on or off together.

[0044] Figure 1 Only the first component 10, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are exemplified. The first component 10 includes a first switch circuit 100, the second component 20 includes a second switch circuit 200, and the third component 30 includes a third switch circuit 300. The first component 10, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are electrically connected to each other through the first switch circuit 100, the second switch circuit 200 and the third switch circuit 300 in their respective components.

[0045] It should be understood that the various components in this embodiment are electrically connected through their respective switching circuits. When the switching circuit of any component is turned on or off, the switching circuit will generate an on signal or an off signal and send the on signal or the off signal to all other switching circuits. After receiving the on or off signal, all other switching circuits control their respective components to turn on or off. That is, in the multi-component system in this embodiment, when any component is turned on or off, all other components are turned on or off at the same time.

[0046] The multi-component system in this embodiment includes multiple components including switching circuits and all the components are electrically connected to each other. When any switching circuit is turned on or off, an on signal or an off signal is sent to all other switching circuits, and the on signal or the off signal is used to control the corresponding components to be turned on or off together, thereby achieving the ability to control any component to be turned on or off, and then simultaneously control the remaining components to be turned on or off, thereby making the on or off operation of the multi-component system simple, and improving the operational efficiency of turning on or off the multi-component system, solving the problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency in traditional technical solutions.

[0047] Optionally, when the switch circuit of each component of the multi-component system in this embodiment generates or receives a shutdown signal, each component performs its own soft shutdown operation, which includes but is not limited to operations before power failure, such as saving data and exiting operation. When the switch circuit of a component is turned off, the remaining components receive the shutdown signal at the same time, so as to perform soft shutdown operations before power failure, such as saving data, etc., thereby avoiding the problem of data loss or damage of the component due to a momentary power failure caused by the shutdown of the component connected to it. For example, when one component is a power supply component that provides power, and the other component is a robotic arm component, after the switch circuit of the power supply component generates a shutdown signal, the power supply component is ready to be shut down, and the switch circuit of the robotic arm component connected to it receives the shutdown signal at the same time, and the robotic arm component performs a soft shutdown operation, thereby avoiding the problem of the robotic arm component losing its arm or losing data due to a momentary power failure caused by the shutdown of the power supply component.

[0048] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the component further includes a plurality of connection interfaces, and each component is connected to other components through each connection interface, that is, the switch circuits between the components are interconnected through the connection interfaces. Figure 2 It is only exemplified that the first component 10 includes the first connection interface 410 and the second connection interface 420, the second component 20 includes the third connection interface 430 and the fourth connection interface 440, the third component 30 includes the fifth connection interface 450 and the sixth connection interface 460, the first component 10 is electrically connected to the third component 30 through the first connection interface 410 and the fifth connection interface 450, the first component 10 is electrically connected to the second component 20 through the second connection interface 420 and the third connection interface 430, and the second component 20 is electrically connected to the third component 30 through the fourth connection interface 440 and the sixth connection interface 460. In other embodiments, the number of connection interfaces of each component should be equal to or greater than the number of the remaining components that need to be cascaded.

[0049] In one embodiment, each connection interface includes a first pin, a second pin and a third pin, the first pin is configured to transmit a power signal V1, the second pin is configured to be grounded, and the third pin is configured to transmit an on signal and a off signal, that is, each connection interface is a 3PIN (pin) interface. Each component in this embodiment can realize the transmission of the power signal V1, the on signal and the off signal through the 3PIN interface, thereby reducing the number of pins of the connection interface and saving the structural space of the multi-component system.

[0050] In one embodiment, it also includes: when the switch circuit generates or receives an open signal, the switch circuit closes to control the main control module of the component where it is located to turn on, and after the main control module is turned on, it outputs a maintenance signal to maintain the corresponding switch circuit closed; and when the switch circuit generates or receives a close signal, the switch circuit transmits the close signal to the main control module of the component where it is located, and the main control module is soft-closed under the control of the close signal and controls the switch circuit to be disconnected.

[0051] For example, when the first switch circuit 100 generates an opening signal, the first switch circuit 100 is closed, the main control module of the first component 10 is turned on, and after the main control module is turned on, a maintenance signal is input to maintain the first switch circuit 100 closed; when the first switch circuit 100 generates or receives a closing signal, the first switch circuit 100 transmits the closing signal to the main control module of its first component 10, and the main control module softly closes and controls the first switch circuit 100 to be disconnected under the control of the closing signal. It should be understood that after the first switch circuit 100 generates an opening signal or a closing signal, the first switch circuit 100 transmits an opening signal or a closing signal to the second switch circuit 200 and the third switch circuit 300, and after receiving the opening signal, the second switch circuit 200 and the third switch circuit 300 work as described for the first switch circuit 100.

[0052] In one embodiment, the main control module controls the switch circuit of the component where it is located to continuously generate the shutdown signal after receiving the shutdown signal. For example, the main control module of the first component 10 controls the first switch circuit 100 of the first component 10 to continuously generate the shutdown signal after receiving the shutdown signal.

[0053] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first switch circuit 100 of the first component 10 is taken as an example to illustrate the composition of the switch circuits of each component. The first switch circuit 100 includes: a switch module 120 and a control circuit 130. The switch module 120 is used to output the power signal V1 to the main control module 110 of the component; the control circuit 130 is used to generate and send an open signal and a close signal, and receive an open signal and a close signal. The control circuit 130 controls the switch module 120 to be turned on or off according to the open signal and the close signal.

[0054] It should be understood that the switch module 120 can be composed of a controllable switch, the input end of the switch module 120 is used to connect the power signal V1, the output end of the switch module 120 is connected to the electrical devices of the component, the electrical devices include the main control module 110 and other peripheral circuits that require power, etc. The signal output end of the control circuit 130 is connected to the control end of the switch module 120, and the control circuit 130 is used to generate or receive an on signal and a off signal, and control the switch module 120 to be turned on or off. When the switch module 120 is turned on, the power signal V1 is output to the main control module 110 of the component, and the component is turned on. When the switch module 120 is turned off, the power signal V1 cannot be transmitted to the main control module 110 of the component, and the component is turned off.

[0055] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the control circuit 130 includes: a signal generating module 131, a first switch control module 132 and a shutdown signal feedback module 133. The signal generating module 131 is used to generate, send and receive an on signal or a shut-down signal; the first switch control module 132 is used to control the switch module 120 to be turned on under the control of the on signal output by the signal generating module 131 so as to output the power signal V1 to the main control module 110 of the component; the shutdown signal feedback module 133 is used to output the shutdown signal output by the signal generating module 131 to the main control module 110 of the component, and the main control module 110 controls the switch module 120 to be turned off after receiving the shut-down signal.

[0056] Optionally, the first signal output end of the signal generating module 131 serves as the cascade signal input and output end of the control circuit 130, the control end of the first switch control module 132 is connected to the second signal output end of the signal generating module 131, the signal output end of the first switch control module 132 is connected to the control end of the switch module 120, the control end of the closed signal feedback module 133 is connected to the second signal output end of the signal generating module 131, and the signal output end of the closed signal feedback module 133 is connected to the main control module 110 of the component.

[0057] In one embodiment, the signal generating module 131 may include a push switch. When the closing time of the push switch is within a first preset time range, the signal generating module 131 generates an on signal. When the closing time of the push switch is within a second preset time range, the signal generating module 131 generates a off signal.

[0058] It should be understood that the first preset time range and the second preset time range are two different non-overlapping time intervals, that is, the first preset time range and the second preset time range have no union, and the specific values ​​of the first preset time range and the second preset time range can be set by the user independently. For example, the first preset time range can be set according to the time reference of the short press of the button switch, and the second preset time range can be set according to the time reference of the long press of the button switch. The time of the long press of the button switch can be appropriately increased according to the time of the short press of the button switch. For example, the time of the short press of the button switch is generally 0.5s-1s. Then, within the allowable error, the first preset time range can be set to 0.4s-1.1s, and the time of the long press of the button switch should be more than 1.1s (excluding 1.1s). In order to avoid overlapping time intervals, the second preset time interval can be set to more than 3s.

[0059] It should be understood that the various components of the multi-component system in this embodiment are connected to each other through their respective signal generating modules 131, and when the signal generating module 131 of any component generates an on signal or an off signal, the signal generating modules 131 of the remaining components electrically connected to the component simultaneously receive the on signal or the off signal.

[0060] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the control circuit 130 further includes a second switch control module 134, which is used to receive a maintenance signal from the main control module 110 of the component after the component is turned on, so as to maintain the switch module 120 continuously turned on or off.

[0061] Optionally, the signal output terminal of the second switch control module 134 is connected to the control terminal of the switch module 120 , and the signal input terminal of the second switch control module 134 is connected to the controller of the component.

[0062] It should be understood that when the switch module 120 changes from off to on, the power signal V1 is transmitted from the switch module 120 to the electrical equipment of the component, and the electrical equipment includes the main control module 110 of the component, wherein the main control module 110 of the component is turned on after receiving the power signal V1, and after the main control module 110 is turned on, it outputs a maintenance signal for maintaining the switch module 120 on to keep the switch module 120 on continuously, that is, the power signal V1 can be continuously output to the main control module 110 of the component, thereby maintaining the component on all the time, and when the component needs to be turned off after receiving the shutdown signal, the main control module 110 of the component can output a maintenance signal for controlling the switch module 120 to be turned off to the switch module 120.

[0063] See also Figure 6In one embodiment, the control circuit 130 further includes: a soft-off control module 135, which is used to generate a shutdown signal under the control of the main control module 110, and the second switch control module 134 jointly controls the switch module 120 to be turned off.

[0064] It should be understood that the control end of the soft-off control module 135 is connected to the component, and the signal output end of the soft-off control module 135 is connected to the first signal output end of the signal generating module 131, that is, the switch circuit in this embodiment. The shutdown signal can be generated by the signal generating module 131 and output to the signal generating module 131 of the switch circuit of other components, or it can be generated by the soft-off control module 135 and output to the signal generating module 131 of this component and the signal generating module 131 of other components. Optionally, after the signal generating module 131 generates or receives the shutdown signal, the main control module of the corresponding component can control the soft-off control module 135 to output the shutdown signal, thereby avoiding that some components do not receive the shutdown signal before the component is closed due to the short duration of the shutdown signal generated by the signal generating module 131.

[0065] It should be understood that after the main control module 110 of this component receives the shutdown signal and completes the soft shutdown operation of this component, the soft shutdown control module 135 and the second switch control module 134 jointly control the switch module 120 to be turned off under the control of the main control module 110.

[0066] See also Figure 7 In one embodiment, the switch control circuit 130 further includes a unidirectional conductive module 140, the input end of the unidirectional conductive module 140 is connected to the input end of the switch module 120, the output end of the unidirectional conductive module 140 is connected to the power end of the control circuit 130, and the unidirectional conductive module 140 is used to unidirectionally transmit the power signal V1 to the control circuit 130.

[0067] It should be understood that the unidirectional conductive module 140 can be composed of a diode, the anode of the diode serves as the input end of the unidirectional conductive module 140 , and the cathode of the diode serves as the output end of the unidirectional conductive module 140 .

[0068] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, the power on / off control circuit 130 further includes a voltage conversion circuit 150, the input end of the voltage conversion circuit 150 is connected to the output end of the switch module 120, the output end of the voltage conversion circuit 150 is connected to the component, and the voltage conversion circuit 150 is used to convert the voltage of the power signal V1 output by the switch module 120 into at least one target voltage, and output the at least one target voltage to the component.

[0069] It should be understood that the voltage conversion circuit 150 can be composed of multiple DC-DC conversion chips, and the target voltage is the operating voltage required by each electrical device of the component.

[0073] The first switch control module 132 includes a switch tube Q3, the control end of the switch tube Q3 is connected to the second signal output end of the signal generating module 131 as the control end of the first switch control module 132, the input end of the switch tube Q3 is connected to the control end of the switch module 120 as the signal output end of the first switch control module 132, and the output end of the switch tube Q3 is grounded.

[0074] The shutdown signal feedback module 133 includes a resistor R7 and a switch tube Q4, the first end of the resistor R7 is connected to the power supply, the second end of the resistor R7 and the input end of the switch tube Q4 are connected together as the signal output end of the shutdown signal feedback module 133 and connected to the main control module 110 of the component, the control end of the switch tube Q4 is connected as the control end of the shutdown signal feedback module 133 and the second signal output end of the signal generating module 131, and the output end of the switch tube Q4 is grounded.

[0078] It should be understood that one of the operation processes in this embodiment may be:

[0079] Turning on the component: short press the button switch SW1 (the closing time of the button switch SW1 is within the first preset time range), the switch tube Q2 is turned on, the switch tube Q3 is turned on, and the switch tube Q1 is turned on. At this time, the power signal V1 is output to the main control module 110 of the component, and the main control module 110 is turned on. After the main control module 110 is turned on, a high-level signal is output to the switch tube Q5, and the switch tube Q5 is turned on.

After the main control module 110 completes the soft-shutdown operation, the main control module 110 outputs a low level to the switch tubes Q6 and Q5, thereby turning off the switch tube Q1, and the component is shut down.

[0081] It should be understood that the first ends of the short-press key switches SW1 used for various components are connected in common, so the switch circuits of the remaining components are turned on or off at the same time as the switch circuit of this component.
