[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the application. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the application, not all of the embodiments.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but only represents selected embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0025] Example one:

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a low-power consumption switch rising edge high-level activated short circuit protection circuit, which is arranged between the battery 10 and the post-circuit 30, and includes a driving switch module 20, a starting switch 40, an isolation module 50, and an MCU chip 60. (It is worth noting that in the circuit diagram, the starting switch can be represented by "S1", and the MCU chip can be represented by "U1").

[0027] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2The input end of the driving switch module 20 is connected with the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10, and the output end of the driving switch module 20 is connected with the post-stage circuit 30. The driving switch module 20 is mainly used for the conduction between the battery 10 and the post-stage circuit 30.

[0028] The input end of the starting switch 40 is connected with the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10. The starting switch 40 is mainly used for activating the driving switch module 20 to make the driving switch module 20 work.

[0029] The isolation module 50 includes a first isolation capacitor C1 and a first resistor R1. The input end of the first isolation capacitor C1 is connected with the output end of the starting switch 40, and the output end is connected with the input end of the first resistor R1. The output end of the first resistor R1 is connected with the first control end of the driving switch module 20. The isolation module 50 is mainly used for preventing the driving switch from working conduction when the starting switch 40 is short-circuited, causing excessive power consumption. When the starting switch 40 is connected, the electric signal is given to the isolation module 50, so that the first resistor R1 and the first isolation capacitor C1 together form a rising edge high-level electric signal acting on the first control end of the driving switch module 20 to activate the driving switch module 20 to work.

[0030] The voltage end of the MCU chip 60 is connected with the output end of the driving switch module 20, and the signal output end U1_MCU CON is connected with the second control end of the driving switch module 20. The MCU chip 60 is mainly used for outputting the interlocking driving signal to the driving switch module 20. When the driving switch module 20 and the MCU form an interlocking state, even if the starting switch 40 is disconnected, the driving module can continue to maintain the conduction state.

[0031] In the embodiment, the isolation module 50 further includes a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3 and a first voltage reduction diode D1. The positive electrode of the first voltage reduction diode D1 is connected with the output end of the starting switch 40, and the negative electrode is connected with the output end of the first isolation capacitor C1. The second resistor R2 is connected in parallel between the two ends of the first isolation capacitor C1. The third resistor R3 is connected between the negative electrode of the first voltage reduction diode D1 and the input end of the first isolation capacitor C1, and the other end is grounded. When the starting switch 40 is damaged or the starting switch 40 appears short-circuit abnormality between the two ends, the isolation effect of the first isolation capacitor C1, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3 and the first voltage reduction diode D1 is used to greatly reduce the starting voltage for activating the driving switch module 20, so that the driving switch module 20 cannot be started, the self-consumption of the circuit is controlled in the microampere level, and the damage of the lithium battery 10 is effectively avoided.

[0032] In the embodiment, the driving switch module 20 comprises a first triode Q1, a second triode Q2 and a third triode Q3. The emitter of the first triode Q1 is connected with the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10, the base is connected with the collector of the second triode Q2, and the collector is connected with the subsequent circuit 30. The base of the second triode Q2 is connected with the output end of the first resistor R1, and the emitter is grounded. The collector of the third triode Q3 is connected with the base of the first triode Q1, the base is connected with the signal output end U1_MCUCON of the MCU, and the emitter is grounded. The first triode Q1 is mainly used for turning on the battery 10 and the subsequent circuit 30. The second triode Q2 is mainly used for activating the first triode Q1, so that the MCU chip 60 sends an interlocking signal to continuously make the third triode Q3 work. The interlocking signal is a high-level signal. When the third triode Q3 is continuously turned on, the first triode Q1 can also be continuously turned on, so that the interlocking state is formed.

[0033] In the embodiment, the first triode Q1 is a PNP type triode, and the second triode Q2 and the third triode Q3 are both NPN type triodes. The model of the MCU chip 60 is GD32E230C8T6.

[0034] In the embodiment, the type of the starting switch 40 is a touch switch.

[0035] In the embodiment, the circuit further comprises an isolation diode D2. The positive electrode of the isolation diode D2 is connected with the input end of the starting switch 40, and the negative electrode is connected with the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10. The isolation diode D2 is mainly used for preventing the voltage or current impact of reverse current from damaging the battery 10.

[0036] In the embodiment, the circuit further comprises a first filter capacitor C2. One end of the first filter capacitor C2 is connected between the output end of the starting switch 40 and the positive electrode of the first voltage reduction diode D1, and the other end is grounded. The first filter capacitor C2 mainly plays a role of starting filter voltage stabilization, so that the rising edge high-level electrical signal formed by the first isolation capacitor C1 and the first resistor R1 is more stable.

[0037] In the embodiment, bias resistors are arranged between the emitters and the bases of the first triode Q1, the second triode Q2 and the third triode Q3 respectively. The circuit further comprises voltage division resistors arranged between different connection components.

[0038] The working principle of the embodiment can be that when the starting switch 40 is pressed, the voltage of the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10 passes through the isolation diode D2, the starting switch 40, the first voltage reduction diode D1, and then the first isolation capacitor C1 and the first resistor R1 to form a rising edge high-level electrical signal, the electrical signal drives the second triode Q2 to be turned on, and then the base voltage of the first triode Q1 is pulled down, so that the first triode Q1 is also turned on, at this time, the battery 10 and the subsequent circuit 30 are turned on. Further, due to the conduction of the first triode Q1, the MCU chip 60 is powered on, the MCU chip 60 sends an interlocking signal to make the third triode Q3 work, continuously pulls down the base voltage of the first triode Q1, and makes the first triode Q1 continuously conduct, to form an interlocking state, at this time, even if the starting switch 40 is turned off, the driving switch module 20 will not be turned off, and the battery 10 continuously supplies power to the subsequent circuit 30.

[0039] When the subsequent circuit 30 needs to be in low-power sleep, the signal output end U1_MCU CON of the MCU chip 60 provides a low level to the base of the third triode Q3, so that the third triode Q3 is not turned on, and the first triode Q1 is not turned on, so that the battery 10 does not supply power to the subsequent circuit 30. When the starting switch 40 or the circuit between the two ends of the starting switch 40 is short-circuited abnormally, through the cooperation of the first isolation capacitor C1, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3 and the first voltage reduction diode D1, an isolation effect is achieved, so that the starting voltage for activating the driving switch module 20 is greatly reduced, the driving switch module 20 cannot be started, the circuit self-consumption is controlled in the microampere level, and the damage of the lithium battery 10 is effectively avoided.

[0040] Embodiment two:

[0041] On the basis of the first embodiment, the difference of the embodiment is that:

[0042] As shown in Figure 3 The embodiment further includes a voltage stabilizing module 70, the voltage stabilizing module 70 is provided with a fourth resistor R4, a second voltage reduction diode D3 and a second filter capacitor C3, the positive electrode of the second voltage reduction diode D3 is connected with the collector of the first triode Q1, and the negative electrode is grounded. The fourth resistor R4 and the second filter capacitor C3 are connected in parallel at the two ends of the second voltage reduction diode D3. The cooperation of the fourth resistor R4, the second voltage reduction diode D3 and the second filter capacitor C3 can effectively stabilize the voltage output by the collector of the first triode Q1.

[0043] Through the above component connection, the working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the starting switch 40 is pressed, the voltage of the voltage output end B+ of the battery 10 sequentially passes through the isolation diode D2, the starting switch 40, the first voltage reduction diode D1, and then passes through the first isolation capacitor C1 and the first resistor R1 to form a rising high-level electrical signal, the electrical signal drives the second triode Q2 to be turned on, and then the base voltage of the first triode Q1 is pulled down, so that the first triode Q1 is also turned on, and through the voltage stabilizing module 70, the conduction voltage between the battery 10 and the subsequent circuit 30 can be stabilized. Further, due to the conduction of the first triode Q1, the MCU chip 60 is powered on, the MCU chip 60 sends an interlocking signal to make the third triode Q3 work, continuously pulls down the base voltage of the first triode Q1, and makes the first triode Q1 continuously conduct, so as to form an interlocking state, at this time, even if the starting switch 40 is disconnected, the driving switch module 20 will not be disconnected, and the battery 10 continuously supplies power to the subsequent circuit 30.

[0044] When the subsequent circuit 30 needs to be in low-power sleep, the signal output end U1_MCU CON of the MCU chip 60 provides a low level to the base of the third triode Q3, so that the third triode Q3 is not turned on, and the first triode Q1 is not turned on, so that the battery 10 does not supply power to the subsequent circuit 30. When the starting switch 40 or the circuit between the two ends of the starting switch 40 is short-circuited abnormally, through the cooperation of the first isolation capacitor C1, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3 and the first voltage reduction diode D1, an isolation effect is achieved, so that the starting voltage for activating the driving switch module 20 is greatly reduced, the driving switch module 20 cannot be started, the circuit self-consumption is controlled in the microampere level, and the damage of the lithium battery 10 is effectively avoided.

[0045] Embodiment three:

[0046] The embodiment provides a PCB, which is provided with the short-circuit protection circuit of the low-power switch rising high level activation as described in the embodiment one or the embodiment two.

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