If the power consumption of the processor is between 10W and 50W, the processor is currently in a standby state, and the processor can be considered to be in a low power consumption state.

[0046] Optionally, the information included in the running status information of the electronic device in this embodiment has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0047] Through the above steps, the operating status information of the electronic device can be determined according to the power measured by the power sensor, or the operating status information of the electronic device can be determined according to the power consumption occupied by the data processing amount calculated by the data processor. The corresponding device can be selected according to the actual characteristics of the electronic device to obtain the status information of the electronic device, which improves the flexibility of obtaining the operating status information of the electronic device and is conducive to the subsequent rapid switching of the power working mode of the electronic device.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the control circuit includes an on-off regulation structure and N first current regulation components, one end of the on-off regulation structure is connected to the power supply circuit, and the other end is connected to the N first current regulation components, and the N first current regulation components are connected in series. When the power consumption state of the electronic device is the first power consumption state, a first control instruction is sent to the control circuit to control the control circuit to be turned on with the power supply circuit, including: when the power consumption state of the electronic device is the first power consumption state, a control signal is sent to the on-off regulation structure to control the on-off regulation structure to close. , turning on the N above-mentioned current regulating components and the above-mentioned power supply circuit; or, when the power consumption state of the above-mentioned electronic device is the first power consumption state, transmitting a low-level signal to the above-mentioned on-off regulating structure to control the above-mentioned on-off regulating structure to close, turning on the N above-mentioned current regulating components and the above-mentioned power supply circuit; or, wherein, when the N above-mentioned first current regulating components and the above-mentioned power supply circuit are turned on, the N above-mentioned first current regulating components are connected in parallel with the above-mentioned power supply circuit, and the N above-mentioned first current regulating components adjust the power consumption of the above-mentioned electronic device by adjusting the current of the above-mentioned power supply circuit, and the above-mentioned N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the power consumption state of the electronic device is the first power consumption state, the on-off adjustment structure can be controlled to be closed by sending a control signal or transmitting a low-level signal. The on-off adjustment structure includes but is not limited to: a relay, a transistor, a microcontroller, an optical coupler, etc. For example, Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the power consumption control device in this embodiment. When Q1 is a relay, a relay is used as an on-off adjustment structure, and the relay is controlled to be closed or released by sending a control signal. After the coil of the relay receives the control signal, it will close or release the contact, thereby realizing the on-off control of the circuit.

When a low level is input, the transistor is turned on and the circuit is closed; when a high level is input, the transistor is cut off and the circuit is disconnected. When Q1 is a microcontroller, a microcontroller can also be used as an on-off adjustment structure, and the output pin of the microcontroller can be controlled by writing a program to realize the on-off control of the circuit. After receiving the control signal, the microcontroller can switch the level state of the output pin, thereby controlling the circuit elements connected to the output pin.

After the N first current regulating components are connected in parallel to the circuit, the current of the power supply circuit can be changed, and the power consumption of the electronic device can be further adjusted by adjusting the current of the power supply circuit. The value of N can be set based on the type of electronic device or a specific application scenario, for example, Figure 3 As shown, N=1, the first current regulating component is a resistor R4. When Q1 is turned on, R4 is connected in parallel with R3 in the above power supply circuit, thereby reducing the current of the power supply circuit.

[0052] Through the above steps, this embodiment controls the closing of the on-off adjustment structure when it is determined that the power consumption state of the electronic device is the first power consumption state, thereby adjusting the current in the power supply circuit, thereby changing the power consumption of the electronic device, achieving control of the power consumption of the electronic device, and reducing power consumption losses.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a first power supply device, a second power supply device and a third power supply device connected in sequence, the first power supply device is also connected to the power module and the on-off adjustment structure, and the third power supply device is connected to the electronic device; wherein the first power supply device includes a plurality of first capacitor devices connected in parallel, and the plurality of first capacitor devices are all connected to the power module for controlling the voltage and current changes of the power module; the first power supply device also includes a plurality of first resistor devices, the plurality of first resistor devices are connected in parallel and connected to the on-off adjustment structure, and the plurality of first resistor devices are used to be connected in parallel with the first current adjustment component when the on-off adjustment structure is turned on to adjust the current of the power supply circuit; the second power supply device is a DCDC power supply, and the The DCDC power supply is used to adjust the current and voltage transmitted to the third power supply device by adjusting the current and voltage transmitted by the first power supply device, so that the voltage and current transmitted to the electronic device are in a stable state; when the power consumption state of the electronic device is the first power consumption state, a low-level signal is transmitted to the on-off adjustment structure to control the on-off adjustment structure to close, and after the N current adjustment components and the power supply circuit are turned on, the method further includes: when the on-off adjustment structure is controlled to be turned on with the first power supply device, the conversion interface in the DCDC power supply is controlled to output a low level, wherein when the conversion interface in the DCDC power supply outputs a low level, the third power supply device transmits a low-level signal to the electronic device to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first capacitor devices are connected to the above-mentioned power supply module, and the capacitor devices can also be combined with other components to control the voltage and current changes of the above-mentioned power supply module as needed. The other combined components can be: variable capacitors (such as adjustable capacitors) to adjust the resonant frequency or filtering characteristics of the circuit, indirectly affecting the voltage and current; electronic controllers (such as microcontrollers or dedicated power management chips) to adjust the output of the power supply module as needed.

[0058] Optionally, the effects of the first capacitor on the power module in this embodiment include but are not limited to: reducing voltage fluctuations and noise in the circuit, smoothing the output voltage, reducing ripple, and providing a more stable voltage; it can store energy and release it quickly when needed, which helps to cope with instantaneous load changes and provide instantaneous current; it can reduce mutual interference between different circuit parts and maintain the stability and performance of the power module, etc.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first resistor device can be connected in parallel with the first current regulating component when the on-off regulating structure is turned on. The parallel resistor is added to the circuit, which can increase the current in the main circuit and regulate the current of the power supply circuit.

[0060] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of first capacitors connected in parallel in the first power supply device may be C1 and C2, which are used to control the voltage and current changes of the power module. The plurality of first resistors included in the first power supply device may be R1, R2 and R3, and the connection relationship between R1, R2 and R3 is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, it is used to adjust the current of the power supply circuit in conjunction with R4 when Q1 is turned on. The second power supply device is a DCDC power supply U1, which is used to adjust the current and voltage transmitted by R1, R2, R3 and R4 so that the voltage and current transmitted to the electronic device are in a stable state.

[0061] Among them, U1 in this embodiment is a device that converts a DC voltage into another DC voltage, which is usually used for power management and voltage adjustment. Different types of U1 may have different pin configurations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pins of U1 include: VIN1, VIN2, EN, VCC, MODE, SW, FB, and GND.

[0062] Both pins VIN1 and VIN2 are input voltage pins, which can be connected to different input voltage sources to select the appropriate input voltage according to needs.

[0063] EN (Enable) is the enable pin, which is used to control the start and stop of U1. When the EN pin receives a high-level signal, U1 starts working; when it receives a low-level signal, U1 stops working.

[0064] VCC is the power pin of U1, which provides the required power for the internal circuit.

[0065] MODE is the mode selection pin that allows the user to select different operating modes according to their needs, such as buck, boost or SEPIC.

[0066] SW is a switch pin, which is a switch node of U1 and is used to control the switching action of a switch element (such as MOSFET or IGBT) to achieve voltage conversion.

[0067] FB (Feedback) is a feedback pin used to receive the feedback signal from the output voltage and compare it with the internal reference voltage to achieve stable control of the output voltage.

[0068] GND is the ground pin, which is the common reference point of the circuit, and all other pins work relative to this pin.

[0069] In this embodiment, in the high-performance mode, U1 works in the FCCM mode to meet the working requirements of the high-performance, high-load and other scenarios of the system back-end electronic equipment; when the power supply circuit is continuously working, once the control circuit detects that the back-end electronic equipment is in a non-high-performance mode, U1 is controlled to output a high-level control signal to the control electrode of the N-MOS tube Q1. At this time, the MOS tube Q1 is turned on, and the resistors R4 and R3 are connected in parallel. The parallel impedance is less than the resistance value of R3.
