[0042] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an AC / DC integrated power supply circuit according to at least one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the AC-DC integrated power supply circuit includes an AC-DC power supply circuit, a battery pack, and a power switching circuit.

This enables integrated power supply from mains power and battery pack, solving the problem of needing to reserve a mains power interface when installing sensor bathroom products. Furthermore, since different voltage specifications can be output according to different positions of the switching device, different power supply requirements can be met.

[0048] Here, AC mains power refers to 220 volt AC power. AC-DC processing refers to the process of converting AC power into DC power.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment, the first supply voltage is 5 volts and the second supply voltage is 6 volts. The first positive voltage is 4.3 volts; the second positive voltage is 6 volts, which can meet the power supply requirements of the sensor-operated bathroom product through mains power or a battery pack.

[0063] For example, the rectifier module may be a bridge rectifier.

[0064] For example, the filter can be an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter circuit.

[0065] Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of a voltage feedback circuit according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the voltage feedback circuit may include a sampling circuit, a voltage regulator, and an optocoupler;

[0066] The sampling circuit is configured to collect the DC power supply voltage.

[0067] The sampling circuit includes a first branch, a second branch, and a third branch. Each branch includes at least one resistor, and the resistance value of the resistor in the second branch is less than the resistance value of the resistor in the third branch.

[0068] When the switching device is in the first position, the first branch and the second branch are connected, so that the voltage feedback circuit samples the DC power supply voltage to obtain a first sampling voltage; when the switching device is in the second position, the first branch and the third branch are connected, so that the voltage feedback circuit samples the DC power supply voltage to obtain a second sampling voltage.

[0069] The voltage regulator is configured to use the first sampled voltage as a reference voltage when the switching device is in the first position, and the second sampled voltage as a reference voltage when the switching device is in the second position. When the reference voltage is greater than the reference voltage of the voltage regulator, the optocoupler is turned on; when the reference voltage is less than the reference voltage of the voltage regulator, the optocoupler is turned off.

[0070] The power chip in the AC / DC conversion circuit includes a feedback pin, which is connected to the optocoupler.

[0071] The power chip is configured such that when the optocoupler is turned on, the potential of its feedback pin decreases, the duty cycle of the output PWM signal decreases, and the DC power supply voltage of the AC-DC conversion circuit decreases; when the optocoupler is turned off, the potential of its feedback pin remains unchanged, the duty cycle of the output PWM signal increases, and the DC power supply voltage of the AC-DC conversion circuit increases.

[0072] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a power switching circuit according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the power switching circuit includes a switching device, a first diode, and a second diode;

[0073] The switching device includes a first port, a second port and a third port arranged sequentially on the first side and along the first direction, a fourth port, a fifth port and a sixth port arranged sequentially on the second side and along the first direction, and a sliding part located between the first side and the second side and capable of sliding back and forth along the first direction;

[0074] When the sliding part slides to the position that electrically connects the second port and the third port, and the fifth port and the sixth port, the switching device is in the first position; when the sliding part slides to the position that electrically connects the second port and the first port, and the fifth port and the fourth port, the switching device is in the second position.

[0075] The second port of the switching device is connected to the first branch of the sampling circuit, and the third port is connected to the second branch of the sampling circuit; the first port is connected to the third branch of the sampling circuit.

[0076] The fourth port of the switching device is connected to the first voltage output terminal of the battery pack, and the sixth port is connected to the second voltage output terminal of the battery pack; the fifth port is connected to the output terminal of the AC / DC integrated power supply circuit through the first diode.

[0077] The positive terminal of the second diode is connected to the voltage output terminal of the AC / DC conversion circuit, and the negative terminal is connected to the output terminal of the AC / DC integrated power supply circuit.

[0078] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another AC / DC integrated power supply circuit according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the AC-DC integrated power supply circuit includes an AC-DC power supply circuit, a power switching circuit, and a battery pack.

[0079] For the AC-DC power supply circuit, the mains voltage (220V AC voltage) passes through fuse F1 or a fusible resistor, and is then converted into DC voltage by the DB1 bridge rectifier (corresponding to the rectifier module mentioned above). It is then filtered by an anti-EMI electromagnetic compatibility filter circuit (corresponding to the filter module mentioned above), composed of the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, the second capacitor EC2, and the third capacitor EC3. The first MOSFET Q1 operates in a regular switching motion under the control of the PWM signal output from the power chip U1. When the first MOSFET Q1 is on, the output voltage of the anti-EMI electromagnetic compatibility filter circuit passes through the primary winding of the first transformer T1A and the first MOSFET Q1 to ground, simultaneously charging the inductance of the primary winding of the first transformer T1A. When the first MOSFET is off, the energy stored in the primary winding of the first transformer T1A is coupled to the secondary winding and auxiliary winding of the first transformer T1A, and after rectification by diode D1 and filtering by the first capacitor EC1, it outputs V1 (corresponding to the first or second supply voltage mentioned above).

[0080] Figure 6The medium-voltage feedback circuit includes an optocoupler U2, a voltage regulator U3 (U3 can be a three-terminal regulator, including terminal A (anode), terminal K (cathode), and terminal R), C3, R4, R7, R2 (corresponding to the resistors in the first branch), R9 (corresponding to the resistors in the second branch), or R10 (corresponding to the resistors in the third branch). R2 and R9 or R10 form a sampling circuit to detect the V1 voltage. When the output V1 increases, terminals A and K of U3 are short-circuited, and the emitter of the optocoupler U2 is grounded, making pins 1 and 2 of the optocoupler conductive. Based on the optocoupler's characteristics, pins 3 and 4 are also conductive. The FB pin of the power chip U1 is connected to pin 4 of the optocoupler, thus grounding and pulling it low. The power chip U1 then adjusts its duty cycle and controls the switching frequency via GA to decrease the output V1 voltage. Conversely, when the output V1 decreases, the power switching circuit similarly detects the output V1 to feedback and control the output V1 voltage to increase, ultimately stabilizing the output V1.

[0081] Figure 6 Resistor R3 can supply power to power chip U1 in a timely manner when the entire circuit is powered on, so that power chip U1 can start up. It can also enable power chip U1 to detect the input voltage and perform automatic compensation to stabilize the output of the power supply system.

[0082] Diode D5, resistor R5, auxiliary winding of transformer T2B (i.e., auxiliary winding of the first transformer T1A), capacitors EC4 and C2 constitute the power supply circuit of power chip U1.

[0083] Resistor R1, capacitor C1 and diode D4 form a circuit with the primary winding of transformer T1A to discharge the remaining energy of the primary winding of transformer T1A when the first MOSFET Q1 is turned off.

[0084] The power switching circuit consists of a dual-position sliding switch RL1 (corresponding to the switching device mentioned above), diode D2 (corresponding to the second diode mentioned above), and diode D3 (corresponding to the first diode mentioned above). The anode of diode D2 is connected to the output V1, and the cathode is connected to the output Vdc of the entire circuit. The anode of diode D3 is connected to pin 5 of the dual-position sliding switch RL1, and the cathode is also connected to the output Vdc of the entire circuit. The dual-position sliding switch RL1 can control the on / off state of two independent switches with one button. When the dual-position sliding switch RL1 is switched to position a, pins 2 and 3 of the dual-position sliding switch RL1 are turned on, and pins 5 and 6 are also turned on; when the dual-position sliding switch RL1 is switched to the other position (b), pins 1 and 2 of the dual-position sliding switch RL1 are turned on, and pins 4 and 5 are also turned on; pin 1 of the dual-position sliding switch RL1 is also grounded through resistor R9.

[0085] The first voltage output terminal of the battery pack is connected to pin 6 of the dual-position slide switch RL1, and the negative terminal of the battery pack is grounded. The second voltage output terminal of the battery pack is connected to pin 4 of the dual-position slide switch RL1.

[0086] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a control method for an AC / DC integrated power supply circuit according to an embodiment of this application. The control method first uses a dual-position sliding switch RL1 in the power switching circuit to control the series power supply switching of three or four batteries, resulting in an output DC of 4.5V or 6V. Secondly, the dual-position sliding switch RL1 in the power switching circuit synchronously switches the reference voltage U3 in the AC-DC power supply circuit, achieving an output DC of 5V or 6V. Based on the definition of potential difference and the flow law of current in electricity, current usually flows from a high potential area to a low potential area; therefore, the output DC voltage of the AC-DC power supply circuit is set to 5V and 6.2V respectively. When the dual-position slide switch RL1 of the power switching circuit is set to one of the positions, the output DC voltage of the AC-DC power circuit (5V or 6.2V) is always higher than the potential of the battery pack's output (4.5V or 6V). This ensures that when both the battery and AC-DC power circuits are outputting simultaneously, the AC-DC power circuit always takes priority, saving battery power. Simultaneously, in the event of a mains power outage, the system automatically switches to battery power, providing power failure protection. Ultimately, this ensures a stable power supply to the bathroom product's electrical control system, guaranteeing product performance and reliability.

[0087] The specific implementation scheme of the control method for the AC / DC integrated power supply circuit is as follows:

[0088] When the dual-position slide switch RL1 of the power switching circuit is set to one of the positions, as shown in the schematic diagram... Figure 5 The slide switch shown is located at point a. In the double-position slide switch RL1, pins 2 and 3 and pins 5 and 6 are short-circuited and connected.

[0089] The positive terminals of the three batteries in the battery pack are connected through pins 5 and 6 of RL1 to output V2. Defining one battery as 1.5V, V2 = 3 * 1.5V = 4.5V. Similarly, short-circuiting pins 2 and 3 of RL1 connects R2 and R9 in series in the AC-DC power supply circuit, causing them to divide the voltage and supply it to U3 (which can be a TL431 regulator) for sampling. Based on the reference voltage of U3, the AC-DC power supply output V1 = 5.2V. Next, it is determined whether V1 and V2 are equal. Clearly, regardless of whether the battery pack is connected, V1 is still greater than V2. Therefore, the AC-DC power supply outputs Vdc = V1 - VD2 through diode D2. Assuming VD2 = 0.2V, Vdc = 5.2V - 0.2V = 5V. If the AC-DC power supply is not connected to 220V, that is, V2 is greater than V1, the three battery packs are powered by diode D3, and the output Vdc = V2 - VD3. Assuming VD3 = 0.2V, Vdc = 4.5V - 0.2V = 4.3V.

[0090] When the dual-position sliding switch RL1 of the power switching circuit is set to another position, the sliding switch is located at point b, and pins 1 and 2 and pins 4 and 5 of the dual-position sliding switch RL1 are short-circuited and conduct. The positive terminals of the three batteries in the battery pack are disconnected. One battery in the battery pack forms a series connection with the other three, and its positive terminal is connected through pins 4 and 5 of RL1 to output V2. Assuming one battery is 1.5V, V2 = 4 * 1.5V = 6V. Similarly, short-circuiting pins 1 and 2 of RL1 connects R2 and R10 in series, causing them to conduct and divide the voltage for sampling by U3. Based on the reference voltage of U3, the AC-DC power supply output V1 = 6.2V. Next, we check the difference between V1 and V2. Clearly, regardless of whether the battery pack is connected, V1 is still greater than V2. Therefore, the AC-DC power supply outputs Vdc = V1 - VD2 through diode D2. Assuming VD2 = 0.2V, Vdc = 6.2V - 0.2V = 6V. If the AC-DC power supply is not connected to 220V, that is, V2 is greater than V1, the power output of the 4-cell battery pack through diode D3 is Vdc = V2 - VD3. Assuming VD3 = 0.2V, Vdc = 6V - 0.2V = 5.8V.

[0091] By setting the dual-position sliding switch RL1 of the power switching circuit to position a or b, the AC-DC power circuit can output two voltages: 5V and 6V. It can also output two voltages with 3 or 4 batteries when there is no mains power supply to the AC-DC power circuit.

[0092] When this AC / DC integrated power supply circuit control method is applied to sensor bathroom products such as sensor faucets or sensor urinals, it can not only achieve two input voltage specifications (generally, the power supply specifications of sensor bathroom products are 5V output from the adapter or 4.5V output from 3 battery packs, or 6V output from the adapter or 6V output from 4 battery packs) by setting the dual-position sliding switch RL1 of the power switching circuit to position a or b, but also continue to supply power to the bathroom products through the battery pack when the mains power fails during product use, provided that there is a 220V mains power supply and the battery pack is equipped with batteries, bringing convenience to users.

[0093] The control method of this AC-DC integrated power supply circuit, by setting the dual-position sliding switch RL1 of the power switching circuit to position a or b, can ensure that the 220V AC power supply from the mains and the DC power supply from the battery pack do not affect each other. Furthermore, the two output modes of the AC-DC power supply circuit and the power output of the 3 or 4 battery packs are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other.
