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

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0043] The blowing (positive pressure) and suction (negative pressure) controls of existing air pumps are mostly implemented based on MCU. For example, multiple reset buttons control the IO interfaces corresponding to the MCU respectively. After the MCU detects that the IO input pin related to the blowing control is at a low level, it controls the IO output pin related to the blowing control to output a high level, drives the corresponding blowing solenoid valve to power on, and after the blowing solenoid valve is powered on, the air pump performs the blowing action to realize the blowing function. After the MCU detects that the IO input pin related to the suction control is at a low level, it controls the IO output pin related to the suction control to output a high level, drives the corresponding suction solenoid valve to power on, and after the suction solenoid valve is powered on, the air pump performs the suction action to realize the suction function.

[0044] However, in the air pump control circuit designed based on MCU, on the one hand, users need to invest in corresponding software development and software maintenance, which increases labor costs; on the other hand, the price of MCU is relatively high, which increases the material cost of the control circuit.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an air pump control circuit, which is connected to the air suction solenoid valve 51 and the air blowing solenoid valve 52. Figure 1As shown, the air pump control circuit includes: a key module 10, a trigger module 20, an automatic control module 30, a switch module 40, and a power switching module 50. The key module 10 and the trigger module 20 constitute a manual control component. The key module 10 generates a first key control signal and a second key control signal based on the key action, and the trigger module 20 generates an inspiration control signal and an air blow control signal based on the first key control signal and the second key control signal, respectively. The automatic control module 30 constitutes an automatic control component and is configured to receive a first control signal INPUT1 and a second control signal INPUT2 as input, and to generate an inspiration control signal based on the first control signal INPUT1 and an air blow control signal based on the second control signal INPUT2. Among them, under one control, at most one of the suction control signal and the blowing control signal is a trigger signal (i.e., valid); the switch module 40 controls the suction solenoid valve 51 to be powered on when the suction control signal is a trigger signal, and controls the blowing solenoid valve 52 to be powered on when the blowing control signal is a trigger signal, thereby avoiding the use of MCU in the air pump control circuit and solving the problems of high software development and software maintenance costs when MCU is applied to the air pump control circuit.

[0046] In addition, at a given moment, only one of the manual control component and the automatic control component can be powered on. Specifically, the power switching module 50 has a first power supply terminal HAND_VCC for powering the trigger module 20 and a second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC for powering the automatic control module 30. The power switching module 50 selects one of the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC and the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC to be powered on according to external operation. In this embodiment, the power switching module 50 includes a single-pole double-throw switch SW3 (see Figure 4 ), the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC and the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC are connected through a single-pole double-throw switch SW3 (see Figure 4 ) is connected to the power supply so that the power supply can only power one of the power terminals.

[0047] In this embodiment, the button module 10 can generate corresponding button control signals according to different button actions. For example, the button action can include a first button action for controlling the power on of the suction solenoid valve 51 so that the air pump performs suction and a second button action for controlling the power on of the blowing solenoid valve 52 so that the air pump performs blowing. In a specific application, when any of the two reset buttons performs a button action, the button module 10 can output a first button control signal and a second button control signal. The difference is that if the first button action is performed on the first reset button, the first button control signal is a rising edge signal, and the second button control signal is maintained at a high level; if the second button action is performed on the second reset button, the second button control signal is a rising edge signal, and the first button control signal is maintained at a high level; that is, when a button action is performed on any reset button, the button module 10 will generate a rising edge signal to control the trigger module 20 to trigger the generation of the corresponding suction / blowing control signal.

[0048] The trigger module 20 includes two corresponding triggers, which respectively generate corresponding suction / blowing control signals according to the received key control signals. Since the trigger can trigger the output of the corresponding level according to the rising edge or falling edge of the level, any of the two reset buttons performs the key action.

[0049] In a specific application, if the switch module 40 is turned on according to a high level, the trigger signal is at a high level; if the switch module 40 is turned on according to a low level, the trigger signal is at a low level. For example, if the switch module 40 grounds the corresponding solenoid valve according to a high level trigger signal to control the solenoid valve to be powered on, if the suction control signal generated by the trigger module 20 is at a high level, the switch module 40 controls the corresponding suction solenoid valve 51 to be powered on, thereby achieving suction control of the air pump. If the blowing control signal generated by the trigger module 20 is at a high level, the switch module 40 controls the corresponding blowing solenoid valve 52 to be powered on, thereby achieving suction control of the air pump.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the trigger module 20 includes a first D trigger 21 , a second D trigger 22 , a first pull-up unit 23 , a second pull-up unit 24 , a first pull-down unit 25 and a second pull-down unit 26 .

[0051] In the D flip-flop of this embodiment, combined with Figure 3The logic function table of the D flip-flop shown in the figure, the D flip-flop includes a first input terminal CLK, a second input terminal / CLR, a third input terminal / PRE, a fourth input terminal D, a first output terminal Q and a second output terminal / Q. When the second input terminal / CLR, the third input terminal / PRE and the fourth input terminal D of the D flip-flop are set to a high level (H), when the first input terminal CLK of the D flip-flop detects a first rising edge (↑), the first output terminal Q outputs a high level (H), and the second output terminal / Q outputs a low level (L). When the second input terminal / CLR and the third input terminal / PRE of the D flip-flop are set to a high level (H), and the fourth input terminal D is set to a low level (L), when the first input terminal CLK detects a second rising edge (↑), the first output terminal Q outputs a low level, and the second output terminal / Q outputs a high level.

[0052] In a specific application embodiment, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the first input terminal CLK1 of the first D flip-flop 21 is used to detect the rising edge signal sent by the key module 10, and the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 is connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC through the first pull-up unit 23 to ensure that the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 outputs a low level by default at the initial power-on moment. The third input terminal / PRE1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the power supply terminal VCC are commonly connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC, and its level is set to a high level.

[0053] The first input terminal CLK2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is used to detect the rising edge signal sent by the key module 10. The second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC through the second pull-up unit 24 to ensure that the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 outputs a low level by default at the initial power-on moment. The third input terminal / PRE2 of the second D flip-flop 22 and the power supply terminal VCC are commonly connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC, and its level is set to a high level.

[0054] When the first input terminal CLK1 of the first D-type flip-flop 21 detects a first rising edge signal, the suction control signal outputted by its first output terminal Q1 is at a high level. At this point, the switch module 40 controls the suction solenoid valve 51 to be powered on, and the air pump performs the suction operation. When the first input terminal CLK1 of the first D-type flip-flop 21 detects a second rising edge signal, the suction control signal outputted by its first output terminal Q1 is at a low level. At this point, the switch module 40 controls the suction solenoid valve 51 to be powered off, and the air pump stops performing the suction operation.

[0055] When the first input terminal CLK2 of the second D-type flip-flop 22 detects the first rising edge signal, the blowing control signal outputted by its first output terminal Q2 is at a high level. At this time, the switch module 40 controls the blowing solenoid valve 52 to be powered on, and the air pump performs the blowing action. When the first input terminal CLK2 of the second D-type flip-flop 22 detects the second rising edge signal, the blowing control signal outputted by its first output terminal Q2 is at a low level. At this time, the switch module 40 controls the blowing solenoid valve 52 to be powered off, and the air pump stops performing the blowing action.

[0056] In this embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the first input terminal CLK1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 are connected in common to form the first input terminal of the trigger module 20 for receiving the first key control signal.

[0057] The first input terminal CLK2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is connected to the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 to form the second input terminal of the flip-flop module 20 for receiving the second key control signal.

[0058] The first pull-up unit 23 is connected between the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC and the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21, and is used to pull up the level of the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 after the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC is powered on during manual control, so as to ensure that the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 outputs a low level by default; the second pull-up unit 24 is connected between the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC and the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22, and is used to pull up the level of the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 after the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC is powered on during manual control, so as to ensure that the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 outputs a low level by default.

[0059] By connecting the first input terminal CLK1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 in common, when the first key control signal is a rising edge signal, the level of the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is set to a low level, and the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is maintained at a low level, thereby preventing the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 from outputting high-level signals at the same time.

[0060] By connecting the first input terminal CLK2 of the second D flip-flop 22 and the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 in common, when the second key control signal is a rising edge signal, the level of the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 can be set to a low level, and the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 outputs a low level, thereby preventing the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 from outputting high-level signals at the same time.

[0061] The first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 constitutes the first output terminal of the flip-flop module 20 and is used to output an air intake control signal.

[0062] The first output terminal of the second D trigger 22 constitutes the second output terminal of the trigger module 20, and is used to output the blowing control signal.

[0063] Specifically, the first pull-up unit 23 includes a second resistor R2 and a second capacitor C2. The second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D-type flip-flop 21, the first end of the second resistor R2, and the first end of the second capacitor C2 are connected in common. The second end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. The second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC. The second pull-up unit 24 includes a sixth resistor R6 and a fourth capacitor C4. The second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D-type flip-flop 22, the first end of the sixth resistor R6, and the first end of the fourth capacitor C4 are connected in common. The second end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded. The second end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC.

[0064] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the manual control component from being triggered by mistake during the automatic control process, the trigger module 20 is further provided with a first pull-down unit 25 and a second pull-down unit 26 .

[0065] The first pull-down unit 25 is connected between the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC and the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21, and the second pull-down unit 26 is connected between the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC and the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22. The first pull-down unit 25 is used to pull down the level of the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 after the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC is powered on during automatic control; the second pull-down unit 26 is used to pull down the level of the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 after the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC is powered on during automatic control, so that the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 continue to output low-level signals. The manual control component fails during automatic control, thereby avoiding system logic confusion and improving reliability.

[0066] See also Figure 4As shown, the second output terminal / Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 is connected to the fourth input terminal D1 of the first D flip-flop 21, and the third input terminal / PRE1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the power supply terminal VCC1 of the first D flip-flop 21 are commonly connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC.

[0067] The second output terminal / Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 is connected to the fourth input terminal D2 of the second D flip-flop 22 . The third input terminal / PRE2 of the second D flip-flop 22 and the power supply terminal VCC2 of the second D flip-flop 22 are commonly connected to the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC.

[0068] The first pull-down unit 25 includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4 and an NPN transistor T5. The third resistor R3 is connected between the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the collector of the NPN transistor T5. The fourth resistor R4 is connected between the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC and the base of the NPN transistor T5. The emitter of the NPN transistor T5 is grounded. After the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC is powered on, the NPN transistor T5 is turned on to pull the level of the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 down to ground, so that the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 continues to output a low-level signal.

[0069] The second pull-down unit 26 includes a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, and an NPN transistor T6. The seventh resistor R7 is connected between the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 and the collector of the NPN transistor T6. The eighth resistor R8 is connected between the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC and the base of the NPN transistor T6. The emitter of the NPN transistor T6 is grounded. After the second power supply terminal AUTO_VCC is powered on, the NPN transistor T6 is turned on to pull the level of the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22 down to ground, so that the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 continues to output a low-level signal.

[0070] In this embodiment, the output levels of the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the second output terminal / Q1 thereof are opposite, and the output levels of the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 and the second output terminal / Q2 thereof are opposite.

[0071] In this embodiment, by connecting a pull-up circuit to the second input terminal / CLR1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the second input terminal / CLR2 of the second D flip-flop 22, it can be ensured that after the system is manually powered on and before the key module 10 is operated, the first output terminal Q1 of the first D flip-flop 21 and the first output terminal Q2 of the second D flip-flop 22 output a low level by default, thereby preventing the air pump from being accidentally started.

[0072] In a specific application embodiment, the RC parameters of the RC circuit included in the pull-up circuit can be determined as needed. For example, according to the capacitor charging time formula Vt = Vu*[1–exp(-t / RC)], when Vt = 0.99Vu, t = 200-300ms is optimal, where Vu is the voltage of the first power supply terminal HAND_VCC, R is the resistance of the resistor in the RC circuit, and C is the capacitance of the capacitor in the RC circuit.
