For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The following disclosure provides different implementations or examples for carrying out different structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various implementations and / or arrangements discussed.

[0036] When a load is connected to a circuit, a virtual voltage is created. The circuit system cannot determine whether the load is properly connected, which may lead to false alarms or unsafe circuit structures. To solve the technical problem of virtual voltage created when a load is connected to a circuit, existing technologies use mechanical structures or complex circuits to detect whether the load is connected, while also using additional circuit structures to eliminate virtual voltage. However, this approach is impractical, too costly, and has poor reliability.

[0037] Based on this, the present invention provides a load detection circuit and electronic device, which determines whether a load is connected by detecting the connection signal generated when a load is connected, and at the same time eliminates virtual voltage with the structure of the load detection circuit itself, thereby improving circuit safety.

[0038] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a load detection circuit is provided.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the load detection circuit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the load detection circuit includes a first switch sub-circuit 100, a second switch sub-circuit 200, and a control sub-circuit 300.

[0041] Specifically, the control sub-circuit 300 is connected to the first switch sub-circuit 100, the first switch sub-circuit 100 is connected to the second switch sub-circuit 200, and the second switch sub-circuit 200 is used to connect the load R0.

[0042] In actual use, the control sub-circuit 300 is used to control the switching state of the first switch sub-circuit 100, so that the switching state of the second switch sub-circuit 200 follows the switching state of the first switch sub-circuit 100. When the second switch sub-circuit 200 receives the access signal of the load R0, the first switch sub-circuit 100 controls the second switch sub-circuit 200 to be turned off.

[0043] The load detection circuit has two states: on and sleep. In the on state, the control subcircuit 300 outputs a control signal to the first switch subcircuit 100, adjusting its switching state to enable the second switch subcircuit 200 to conduct. When a load R0 is connected, it receives a driving voltage. The second switch subcircuit 200, which is in the conducting state, receives this driving voltage, thus confirming the connection of load R0; the driving voltage received by load R0 serves as its connection signal. After receiving the connection signal from the second switch subcircuit 200, the control subcircuit 300 determines that a load R0 is currently connected. It then outputs a control signal to the first switch subcircuit 100, switching its state from one state to another, while the second switch subcircuit 200 switches from the conducting state to the cutoff state. The load detection circuit then enters the sleep state, thereby eliminating the dummy voltage.

[0044] For example, when the first switch sub-circuit 100 switches its state, the second switch sub-circuit 200 switches its state accordingly. This can be because the second switch sub-circuit 200 is also turned on when the first switch sub-circuit 100 is turned off, or the second switch sub-circuit 200 is also turned off when the first switch sub-circuit 100 is turned off. When no load R0 is connected, the control sub-circuit 300 controls the first switch sub-circuit 100 to remain on, thus turning on the second switch sub-circuit 200. When the load R0 is connected, the control sub-circuit 300 receives the connection signal of the load R0 through the second switch sub-circuit 200, and then controls the first switch sub-circuit 100 to turn off, thus turning off the second switch sub-circuit 200. The load detection circuit enters a sleep state, thereby eliminating the virtual voltage formed by the connection of the load R0.

[0045] It should be noted that the load R0 can be powered by the control sub-circuit 300 or by an external drive circuit. In this embodiment, the control sub-circuit 300 powers the load R0. When the load R0 is connected, it is connected to both the control sub-circuit 300 and the second switch sub-circuit 200. The control sub-circuit 300 outputs a drive voltage to power the load R0. The second switch sub-circuit 200 receives the connection signal of the load R0 by directly or indirectly connecting to it. For example, the second switch sub-circuit 200 can be directly connected to the end of the load R0 furthest from the control sub-circuit 300, and this end is also connected to ground. The second switch sub-circuit 200 collects the voltage signal at the end of the load R0 furthest from the control sub-circuit 300, using this as the connection signal of the load R0.

[0046] Based on the above-disclosed technical solution, the control sub-circuit 300 triggers the second switch sub-circuit 200 to conduct through the first switch sub-circuit 100, so that the entire load detection circuit is in the open state. When the conducting second switch sub-circuit 200 detects the connection of load R0, it transmits the connection signal to the control sub-circuit 300. The control sub-circuit 300, which receives the connection signal, triggers the second switch sub-circuit 200 to turn off through the first switch sub-circuit 100, so that the entire load detection circuit is in the sleep state. The virtual voltage formed by the connection of load R0 is connected to the ground, thus eliminating the virtual voltage formed by the connection of load R0.

[0047] See again Figure 1 In this embodiment, the control sub-circuit 300 is provided with a detection terminal in, an on / off terminal en, and a driving terminal out.

[0048] Among them, the drive terminal out is used to connect to the load R0, the control sub-circuit 300 outputs voltage to the load R0 through the drive terminal out, the on / off terminal en is connected to the control terminal of the first switch sub-circuit 100, the first terminal of the first switch sub-circuit 100 is connected to the control terminal of the second switch sub-circuit 200, the second terminal of the first switch sub-circuit 100 is connected to the potential reference point, the first terminal of the second switch sub-circuit 200 is connected to the detection terminal in, and the second terminal of the second switch sub-circuit 200 is used to connect to the load R0.

[0049] One end of the load R0 is connected to ground, and the other end of the load R0 is connected to the drive terminal out of the control sub-circuit 300. The second switch sub-circuit 200 is connected to the end of the load R0 furthest from the control sub-circuit 300. The control sub-circuit 300 outputs a drive voltage to the load R0 through its drive terminal out. The second switch sub-circuit 200, which is in the on state, collects the voltage signal of the load R0 as the load R0 access signal and sends it to the detection terminal in of the control sub-circuit 300. The control sub-circuit 300 determines whether the load R0 is connected by the voltage change at the detection terminal in, and when it determines that the load R0 is connected, it outputs an on / off control signal through the on / off terminal en to adjust the switching state of the first switch sub-circuit 100, thereby turning off the second switch sub-circuit 200 and putting the load detection circuit into a sleep state.

[0050] It should be noted that a potential reference point (i.e., a zero potential point) is a point in a circuit where the potential is defined as zero. In electronic circuits, a specific common line or chassis is often chosen as the potential reference point. In this embodiment, the potential reference point is the reference ground, and connecting to the potential reference point is equivalent to grounding, and the same applies below.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the load detection circuit according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first switch sub-circuit 100 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first diode D1, and a first switching device Q1.

[0053] Specifically, one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the control terminal of the first switching device Q1, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the on / off terminal en; one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the control terminal of the first switching device Q1, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the potential reference point; the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the control terminal of the second switching sub-circuit 200, and the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first terminal of the first switching sub-circuit 100.

[0054] The first resistor R1 serves as a voltage divider resistor to protect the first switching device Q1.

[0055] The second resistor R2 serves as a bias resistor to enhance the driving capability of the first switching device Q1.

[0056] The first diode D1 serves as a rectifier.

[0057] The control terminal of the first switching device Q1 receives the on / off control signal from the on / off terminal en through the first resistor R1. When the on / off control signal triggers the first switching device Q1 to conduct, it connects the control terminal of the second switching sub-circuit 200 and the potential reference point, pulling down the level of the control terminal of the second switching sub-circuit 200. Conversely, when the on / off control signal triggers the first switching device Q1 to turn off, the control terminal of the second switching sub-circuit 200 and the potential reference point fail to connect, and the level state of the control terminal of the second switching sub-circuit 200 remains unchanged.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second switching sub-circuit 200 includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a first Zener diode ZD1, and a second switching device Q2.

[0059] One end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the control terminal of the second switching device Q2, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first terminal of the first switching sub-circuit 100. One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the control terminal of the second switching device Q2, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second terminal of the second switching device Q2. The anode of the first Zener diode ZD1 is connected to the detection terminal in, and the cathode of the first Zener diode ZD1 is connected to the first terminal of the second switching device Q2. The second terminal of the second switching device Q2 is used to connect to the load R0.

[0060] The third resistor R3 acts as a voltage divider resistor to protect the second switching device Q2.

[0061] The fourth resistor R4 serves as a bias resistor to enhance the driving capability of the second switching device Q2.

[0062] The first Zener diode ZD1 is used to stabilize the voltage at the first terminal of the second switching device Q2.

[0063] The second switching device Q2 is connected to the first terminal of the first switching sub-circuit 100 through its control terminal. When the first switching sub-circuit 100 is turned on, it pulls down the level of the control terminal of the second switching device Q2. When the first switching sub-circuit 100 is turned off, the level of the control terminal of the second switching device Q2 is maintained. The second switching device Q2 can be turned on when its control terminal level is pulled down and turned off when its control terminal level is maintained, or it can be turned off when its control terminal level is pulled down and turned on when its control terminal level is maintained.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first switching device Q1 is an NPN transistor, and the second switching device Q2 is a PNP transistor. For the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2, the first terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the collector, the second terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the emitter, and the control terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the base.

[0065] In other embodiments, the first switching device Q1 is an N-type field-effect transistor (FET), and the second switching device Q2 is a P-type FET. For the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2, the first terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the drain, the second terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the source, and the control terminal of the first switching device Q1 and the second switching device Q2 represents the gate.

[0066] In some embodiments, the third switching device Q3 is selected as an NPN transistor or an N-type field-effect transistor. When an NPN transistor is selected, the first terminal of the third switching device Q3 represents the collector, the second terminal of the third switching device Q3 represents the emitter, and the control terminal of the third switching device Q3 represents the base; when an N-type field-effect transistor is selected, the first terminal represents the drain, the second terminal represents the source, and the control terminal represents the gate.

[0067] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the load detection circuit according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the load detection circuit further includes a third switch sub-circuit 400.

[0069] Specifically, the first terminal of the second switch sub-circuit 200 is connected to the control terminal of the third switch sub-circuit 400, the first terminal of the third switch sub-circuit 400 is connected to the DC voltage and control sub-circuit 300, and the second terminal of the third switch sub-circuit 400 is connected to the potential reference point.

[0070] In this embodiment, the second switch sub-circuit 200 transmits the load R0 access signal to the control sub-circuit 300 through the third switch sub-circuit 400.

[0071] The second switch sub-circuit 200, in the ON state, acquires the voltage signal of the load R0, uses the acquired voltage signal as the connection signal for the load R0, and sends it to the control terminal of the third switch sub-circuit 400, triggering a switch state change of the third switch sub-circuit 400. When the switch state of the third switch sub-circuit 400 changes, the control sub-circuit 300 monitors the level change at the port of the third switch sub-circuit 400. If the third switch sub-circuit 400 switches from OFF to ON, the level at the port of the control sub-circuit 300 is pulled low; conversely, if the third switch sub-circuit 400 switches from ON to OFF, the level at the port of the control sub-circuit 300 is raised. The control sub-circuit 300 determines whether to connect the load R0 based on the level change at this port.

[0072] More specifically, the third switch sub-circuit 400 includes a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, a second diode D2, and a third switch device Q3.

[0073] The anode of the second diode D2 is connected to the first terminal of the second switch sub-circuit 200, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is connected to one end of the fifth resistor R5. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the control terminal of the third switch device Q3. One end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the control terminal of the third switch device Q3, and the other end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the second terminal of the third switch device Q3 and the potential reference point. One end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the DC voltage, and the other end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the first terminal of the third switch device Q3 and the control sub-circuit 300.

[0074] The fifth resistor R5 and the seventh resistor R7 are used as voltage divider resistors to protect the third switching device Q3.

[0075] The sixth resistor, R6, serves as a bias resistor to enhance the driving capability of the third switching device, Q3.

[0076] The second diode, D2, serves as a rectifier.

[0077] The third switching device Q3 is cut off when the load detection circuit is in the ON state.

[0078] When the second switching sub-circuit 200 is in the ON state, it acquires the voltage signal of the load R0 as the input signal for the load R0. The second switching sub-circuit 200 sends the acquired voltage signal to the control terminal of the third switching device Q3, and the third switching device Q3 is turned on. Based on this, the port of the control sub-circuit 300 connected to the third switching device Q3 is connected to the voltage reference point, and the port level of the control sub-circuit 300 connected to the third switching device Q3 is pulled low. Based on this, the control sub-circuit 300 determines that the load R0 is connected, and then outputs a control signal to the first switching sub-circuit 100, causing the second switching sub-circuit 200 to be turned off, and the load detection circuit enters a sleep state.

[0079] The load detection circuit provided by the present invention triggers the second switch sub-circuit 200 to conduct through the first switch sub-circuit 100, so that the entire load detection circuit is in the on state. When the conducting second switch sub-circuit 200 detects the connection of load R0, it transmits the connection signal to the control sub-circuit 300. The control sub-circuit 300, which receives the connection signal, triggers the second switch sub-circuit 200 to turn off through the first switch sub-circuit 100, so that the entire load detection circuit is in the sleep state. The virtual voltage formed by the connection of load R0 is connected to the ground, thus eliminating the virtual voltage formed by the connection of load R0.

The control sub-circuit that receives the connection signal triggers the second switch sub-circuit to turn off through the first switch sub-circuit, so that the entire load detection circuit is in the sleep state. The virtual voltage formed by the connected load is connected to the ground, thus eliminating the virtual voltage formed by the connection of the load.
