BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is a functional block diagram of the application.

[0013] Figure 2 It is a circuit schematic diagram of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] As shown in the figure, an electric gun state prompting device is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: S1, MCU controller input signal acquisition; S2, electric gun working voltage acquisition and battery voltage detection; S3, different duty cycle signal driving motor to emit different prompt sounds. Figure 1 The MCU controller input signal acquisition step comprises obtaining a binary signal input MCU controller by triggering the mode switch of the electric gun.

[0015] The electric gun working voltage acquisition and battery voltage detection step comprises supplying power to the motor driving circuit by the battery module, then inputting the battery voltage detection result signal to the MCU controller, simultaneously supplying power to the voltage stabilizing circuit, and inputting the voltage stabilizing circuit output signal to the MCU controller interface.

[0016] The different duty cycle signal driving motor to emit different prompt sounds step comprises that the MCU controller output signal realizes the simultaneous transmission of motor driving and prompt sound through the isolation circuit, and then realizes the motor emitting different sound prompts of the electric gun state.

[0017] Further, as shown in the figure, the electric gun switch is triggered, that is, the "single shot burst mode switch" (K3) and the "gun trigger switch" (K4).

[0018] Figure Two Further, as shown in the figure, the electric gun switch is triggered, that is, the "single shot burst mode switch" (K3) and the "gun trigger switch" (K4). Figure Two Figure Two ​​K2) MCU controller input signal is obtained, when the "single shot mode switch" and "gun trigger switch" is pressed input 0.

[0019] Further, when the battery-powered module is powered on, the battery voltage state is detected by the battery voltage detection module in the MCU controller, and when it is within the normal range, the state of the "single shot mode switch" is detected in turn to determine the working mode of the electric gun, and then the state of the "gun trigger switch" is detected. When a 0 value is detected, the electric gun performs a single shot mode action or a continuous shot mode action.

[0020] Further, the isolation circuit is composed of PNP transistor (Q3), NPN transistor (Q3A), DTC transistor (Q5) and resistor, MCU controller pin 7 output signal is input to the base of NPN transistor through resistor R7, the emitter of PNP transistor is connected to the positive electrode of the battery (BAT+), and the MCU controller pin 6 output signal (i.e. motor drive signal) is driven field effect MOS tube through DTC transistor, thereby making the motor sound; Figure Two Figure Two Figure Two Figure Two This isolation circuit converts the high and low levels of the MCU controller output into the high and low levels of the battery voltage in real time. The supply voltage of this MCU controller is 3.3V, so the high and low levels of its output can only be 0V-3.3V.

[0021] Further, the motor drive circuit is a high-power MOS switch tube (Q2 and Q4) that connects the negative electrode of the motor to the ground or disconnects the negative electrode of the motor to the ground according to the instructions of the MCU controller.

[0022] Further, the field effect tube MOS is controlled by the MCU controller to apply a short low duty cycle high frequency signal to the field effect tube MOS, changing the energizing voltage and energizing time of the motor coil. Due to the input of a short low duty cycle, the motor gets a short energizing time and cannot rotate normally, only a short energizing, so that the motor vibrates following the input frequency, and then makes a sound. Figure Two

[0023] Further, the electric gun integrated circuit motor can emit two distinct prompt sounds, the first "beep" sound is a high frequency signal with a frequency of 1KHZ 6% duty cycle and a signal length of 200ms, which drives the field effect tube MOS to make the motor sound, and the second "drop" sound is a high frequency signal with a frequency of 1.3KHZ 3% duty cycle and a signal length of 200ms, which drives the field effect tube MOS to make the motor sound. These two sounds can meet the customer's warning requirements for the gun.

[0024]

[0025] ​​​​​Further, the gun motor sound prompting function can alert low voltage abnormal state, voltage too high abnormal and single shot timeout abnormal state.
