The other USB interface of the signal distribution chip U12 is respectively connected to the USB interface of the camera main control module and the USB interface of the USB to serial port chip U21, thereby dividing the USB signal into two paths. In one path, the USB to serial port chip U21 is connected to and controls the power supply module, the power supply module is connected to the camera main control module, and the power supply module supplies power to the camera main control module; in the other path, the camera main control module is connected to the sensor module.

[0024] Here, compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present application adds a signal splitting chip U12 and a USB to serial port chip U21. The signal splitting chip U12 splits the USB signal from the camera sub-board module into two paths, wherein the first USB signal communicates with the camera main control module to control the sensor module. On the other hand, the second USB signal controls the switch of the GPIO (GPIO is a general-purpose input and output interface, mainly used to connect microcontrollers, embedded systems or other electronic devices to interact with the outside world) of the USB to serial port chip U21, thereby controlling the operation of the power supply module and supplying power to the camera main control module. Therefore, the power supply of the camera main control module can be disconnected through the first USB signal, reducing unnecessary power consumption of the smart mining cap, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the power supply of the mining cap and maintaining power with low power consumption.

[0031] Furthermore, the first reverse module also includes a 198th resistor R198 and a 199th resistor R199, which are used for series current limiting. The two ends of the 198th resistor R198 are respectively connected to the 13th pin of the USB-to-serial port chip U21 and the base of the 16th transistor Q16, and the two ends of the 199th resistor R199 are respectively connected to the power supply VBUS and the collector of the 16th transistor Q16.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the circuit also includes a second reverse module. The fourteenth pin of the USB-to-serial port chip U21 is connected to the second reverse module, and the second reverse module is connected to the power supply voltage VCC-HUB. The second reverse module includes a fourth transistor Q4, the base of the fourth transistor Q4 is connected to the fourteenth pin of the USB-to-serial port chip U21, the collector of the fourth transistor Q4 is connected to the power supply voltage VCC-HUB, and the emitter of the fourth transistor Q4 is grounded. Here, the input signal and the output signal of the first reverse module and the second reverse module differ in phase by 180 degrees, which can be used to achieve a specific signal processing effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the second reverse module also includes a 181st resistor R181, a 182nd resistor R182, a 183rd resistor R183 and a 125th capacitor C125. In this regard, the 181st resistor R181, the 182nd resistor R182 and the 183rd resistor R183 also function as series current limiting, and the 125th capacitor C125 functions as filtering and voltage stabilization.

[0034] The two ends of the 181st resistor R181 are respectively connected to the power supply voltage VCC-HUB and the collector of the fourth transistor Q4, the two ends of the 182nd resistor R182 are respectively connected to the 14th pin of the USB to serial port chip U21 and the base of the fourth transistor Q4, and the two ends of the 183rd resistor R183 are respectively connected to the 14th pin of the USB to serial port chip U21 and the emitter of the fourth transistor Q4.

In other embodiments, the power supply module may also include two, four or five power supply circuits. In this embodiment, the three power supply circuits output the 4V power supply VBUS of the socket J1 as 3.3V, 1.8V, and 0.9V voltages respectively, so that different chip modules can reach their normal operating voltages.

[0038] In the circuit diagram of the existing intelligent mining cap, the charger is charged through the light source board of the mining cap, and the lithium battery power board of the host is charged through one of the VCC lines of the mining cap, and this VCC line is also the power supply line of the camera sub-board. Therefore, when the main board is turned off, the lithium battery power board will still supply power to the camera sub-board through the VCC line.

[0039] This application adds a signal distribution chip U12 and a USB to serial port chip U21, and controls the three power supply circuits of the power supply module through the sixteenth transistor Q16 of the first reverse module, so that the camera main control module can be powered by the power supply module. When the main board is turned off or the camera sub-board is not in use, the camera sub-board module is disconnected through the USB signal to supply power to the camera main control module. Regardless of whether the main board is turned on or off, the camera sub-board module can be in a turned-off state to achieve the purpose of controlling the power supply of the intelligent mining cap and low power consumption.
