Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits this application and its application or use. Embodiment 1

[0018] Such as Figure 1As shown, this embodiment discloses a power supply device control and guidance circuit for level conversion between a power supply device unit 1 (which transmits an MCU_PWM signal) and a receiving device unit 5 (which receives a CP_PWM signal). The control and guidance circuit includes a first level transmission and conversion unit 2 and a second level transmission and conversion unit 3. The input end of the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 is connected to the output end of the power supply device unit 1, and the output end is connected to the input end of the receiving device unit 5. The input end of the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 is connected to the output end of the power supply device unit 1, and the output end is connected to the input end of the receiving device unit 5. The resistor unit 4 is connected between the CP_PWM signal and the two level transmission and conversion units. The first level transmission and conversion unit 2 and the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 are arranged in parallel. When the circuit works, the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 can output the positive power supply voltage or cut off after level conversion. The second level transmission and conversion unit 3 can output the negative power supply voltage or cut off after level conversion.

[0019] When the MCU_PWM signal is at a high level, the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 is disabled so that the voltage at its output end is the +VCC signal, which is supplied to the electric vehicle through the resistor unit 3. At the same time, the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 is disabled so that its output end floats. When the MCU_PWM signal is at a low level, the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 is disabled so that its output end floats. At the same time, the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 is disabled so that the voltage at its output end is the -VCC signal, which is supplied to the electric vehicle through the resistor unit 3.

[0020] In some embodiments, the control and guidance circuit is arranged as shown in the appendix Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the power supply device control and guidance circuit is composed of a first level transmission and conversion unit 2, a second level transmission and conversion unit 3, and a resistor unit 4. The resistor unit 4 includes a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4. The third resistor R3 is connected between the output end of the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 and the input end of the receiving device unit 5. The fourth resistor R4 is connected between the output end of the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 and the input end of the receiving device unit 5. In this embodiment, the resistor R3 is the equivalent resistor between the output end of the first level transmission and conversion unit 2 and the vehicle interface CP_PWM, and can be composed of one or more resistors. The equivalent resistance value of R3 here is 1 kΩ. The resistor R4 is the equivalent resistor between the output end of the second level transmission and conversion unit 3 and the vehicle interface CP_PWM, and can be composed of one or more resistors. The equivalent resistance value of R4 here is 1 kΩ.

[0021] When the MCU_PWM signal is at a high level, the first level transfer and conversion unit 2 is disabled, causing the voltage at the output terminal of the control and guidance circuit to be the +VCC signal. After the current is reduced by the resistor unit 4, it is provided to the electric vehicle. At the same time, the second level transfer and conversion unit 3 is disabled, causing the output terminal of the control and guidance circuit to float. When the MCU_PWM signal is at a low level, the first level transfer and conversion unit 2 is disabled, causing the output terminal of the control and guidance circuit to float. At the same time, the second level transfer and conversion unit 3 is disabled, causing the voltage at the output terminal of the control and guidance circuit to be the -VCC signal. After the current is reduced by the resistor unit 4, it is provided to the electric vehicle.

[0022] As shown in the Figure 2 attachment, in this embodiment, the signal output from the MCU control port is of the PWM type, and the duty cycle is any value between 0% and 100%, with a duty cycle tolerance within ±0.5%.

[0023] Among them, the power supply positive +VCC voltage value is usually 12V, with a voltage tolerance of ±0.6V; the power supply negative -VCC voltage value is usually -12V, with a voltage tolerance of ±0.6V; the high and low levels of the MCU_PWM are the operating voltages of the MCU. Usually, the high level is 3.3V or 5V, and the low level is 0V. The first level transfer and conversion unit 2 includes a first transistor Q1, a third transistor Q3, and a first resistor R1. The first end of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the control port of the MCU. The second end of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the third transistor Q3 and the first end of the first resistor R1. The third end of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the ground electrode of the MCU. The second ends of the third transistor Q3 and the first resistor R1 are connected to the positive electrode of the MCU. The third end of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the input terminal of the receiving device unit 5. When the MCU_PWM signal is at a high level, the first transistor Q1 is driven to conduct, causing the third transistor Q3 to output a +12V voltage, and a +12V voltage signal is provided after passing through the third resistor R3. When the MCU_PWM signal is at a low level, the first transistor Q1 is made to cut off, and the first resistor R1 is pulled up to make the third transistor Q3 cut off, achieving a floating output.

[0024] The second-level transmission conversion unit 3 includes a second transistor Q2, a fourth transistor Q4, and a second resistor R2; the first end of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the control port of the MCU, the second end of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the positive power supply of the MCU, and the third end of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the fourth transistor Q4 and the first end of the second resistor R2; the second end of the fourth transistor Q4 and the second end of the second resistor R2 are connected to the negative power supply of the MCU, and the third end of the fourth transistor Q4 is connected to the input end of the receiving device unit 5; when the MCU_PWM signal is at a low level, the second transistor Q2 is driven to conduct, causing the fourth transistor Q4 to output a -12V voltage signal, which is supplied to the electric vehicle through the fourth resistor R4; when the MCU_PWM signal is at a high level, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, and the second resistor R2 is pulled down to turn off the fourth transistor Q4 to achieve a floating output; in this embodiment, the guiding circuit can adaptively select the first-level transmission conversion unit 2 and the second-level transmission conversion unit 3 according to the output signal level of the power supply device unit 1, and the corresponding level transmission conversion unit outputs appropriate positive and negative voltages according to requirements; among them, Q1 / Q3 / Q2 / Q4 are selected as high-speed switching transistors (such as 2N2222A and 2N2907A), and the switching time < 100ns.

[0025] In the use of the circuit in this embodiment, the rise and fall times of the PWM signal at the MCU control port are less than 2 μs, and the rise and fall times of the output PWM signal after the PWM high and low level signals are transmitted and level-converted are less than 2 μs.

[0026] In some other embodiments, the control guiding circuit is fully applied in the charging pile safety protection system; the following are set in the circuit: Overcurrent protection: A self-resetting fuse (such as MF-R050) is connected in series with R3 / R4.

[0027] Short-circuit protection: Schottky diodes (such as 1N5819) are connected in series at the collectors of Q3 / Q4 to prevent reverse current.

[0028] Status feedback: The output status is fed back to the MCU in real time through an optocoupler (such as PC817).

[0029] Working process: When an output short circuit is detected, the fuse blows, and at the same time the MCU turns off the PWM signal.

[0030] After the fault is removed, the fuse automatically recovers and the circuit resumes operation.

[0031] Signal characteristics: The fault response time < 10 ms to avoid equipment damage.

[0032] The protection mechanism does not affect the normal signal transmission performance. Embodiment 2
