[0032] The product consists of a power management unit (the unit consists of an LDO chip and some peripheral circuits, and can input a 3.6V~24V DC power supply), a data acquisition unit (the unit consists of a gyroscope chip and some peripheral circuits), a data processing unit (the unit consists of a single-chip microcomputer and some peripheral circuits) and an OUTPUT unit (the unit consists of some resistors and capacitors, including two output IOs: drop and torsion).

[0033] The power management unit provides stable power for other units; the data acquisition unit mainly collects the motion parameters of the module, such as three-axis acceleration and three-axis angular velocity, and transmits these parameters to the data processing unit; the data processing unit calculates the motion parameters, obtains the motion state of the module, and makes corresponding processing actions, which are output through the OUTPUT unit.

[0034] The module adopts SMT technology, and all components are mounted on a PCB. The module can be mounted on other PCBs in the form of SMD or soldered on other PCBs in the form of plug-in.

Interface 1 of the chip VR is respectively connected to one end of the capacitor C2 and one end of the capacitor C3, the other end of the capacitor C2 is respectively connected to the VCC terminal and interface 2 of the chip VR, and the other end of the capacitor C3 is respectively connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal and interface 3 of the chip VR.

[0038] When the module is working, it will detect its own motion parameters in real time, including three-axis acceleration and three-axis angular velocity.

[0048] In production applications, many high-power handheld devices are at risk of falling. In the past, power cords could not cut off the power when the device fell, which often caused the wires to get tangled, leading to greater danger. This technology can immediately cut off the power when the device falls, preventing the wires from getting tangled.

[0049] In production applications, many high-power handheld devices have the risk of twisting. When the twisting force is too large, it is easy to cause injuries to workers. In the past, power cords could not cut off the power when the device twisted. This technology can immediately cut off the power when the device twists, reducing the risk of worker injury.
