In order to guarantee the power supply conditions required for the normal operation of each device, the power supply circuit in the embodiment further includes a voltage conversion circuit. The voltage conversion circuit is realized by using an SPX3819 module. After the output voltage of the lithium battery passes through the SPX3819 module, the upper end output voltage is 5V, and the lower end output voltage is 3.3V. All the working voltages required by the hardware modules are realized.
