[0026] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model realizes a low-power control circuit (located in the dotted box) through circuit design and MCU chip control, which is used to control and detect the operation of the battery. The low-power control circuit includes an MCU circuit, a discharge control and discharge current detection circuit, a battery voltage detection circuit, a charge control and charge current detection circuit, a battery status indication circuit and an external power supply voltage detection circuit; the MCU circuit is electrically connected to the discharge control and discharge current detection circuit, the battery voltage detection circuit, the battery status indication circuit, the charge control and charge current detection circuit, and the external power supply voltage detection circuit respectively, and the discharge control and discharge current detection circuit, the battery voltage detection circuit, the charge control and charge current detection circuit are all used to connect the battery, and the external power supply voltage detection circuit and the charge control and charge current detection circuit are all used to be electrically connected to the external power supply. When the battery is charging, the charge control and charge current detection circuit prevents the charging current from being too large to damage the battery, and prevents the battery from being overcharged to damage the battery. The battery is prevented from being "starved to death" by the low battery voltage through the discharge control and discharge current detection circuit.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the utility model also provides a control system for a shifting machine, including a battery box, one or more batteries and the above-mentioned low-power control circuit, wherein the battery and the low-power control circuit are placed in the battery box, and the battery is connected to the low-power control circuit, and also includes a control box, and the control box is electrically connected to the battery box. An external power supply is connected to the battery, and the battery is connected to the control box, and the control box is used to control the operation of the low-power control circuit. The control box is electrically connected to the discharge control and discharge current detection circuit in the low-power control circuit. The control system of the shifting machine also includes an emergency stop switch for cutting off the control box circuit, and the emergency stop switch is arranged on the shifting machine and is electrically connected to the control box. The batteries are two lead-acid batteries. The control system of the shifting machine also includes an anti-short-circuit circuit for preventing the battery from short-circuiting and burning, and the anti-short-circuit circuit is electrically connected between the two lead-acid batteries.
[0030] The lift itself has low power consumption in standby mode. The emergency stop switch (set on the lift, connected to the control box) can cut off the circuit of the control box to ensure that the lift is stopped in an emergency. The battery can detect the external power supply voltage and the internal voltage of the battery. When it is detected that the external power supply is not supplying power, the battery power supply is turned on and the current battery power supply current is detected. When it is detected that there is an external power supply, the battery starts to charge and the current battery charging current is detected. When the external power supply is used, the drive system is in a stopped state. The battery has an anti-short circuit to prevent the battery from burning due to short circuit. The anti-short circuit has a 15A fast-acting fuse added to the battery end.
[0031] Figure 2 It is a discharge control and discharge current detection circuit. Among them, T1 is a triode, Q1 is a MOS tube, D1 is a high-current Schottky diode, R1 is a sampling resistor, and IC1 is a current detection chip. Battery+ is connected to the positive electrode of the battery internally and to the control box externally. Battery_out+ is connected to the control box externally. When the MCU circuit detects that there is no external power supply, it controls T1 to turn on (controlled by the voltage size of Battery_output_en), thereby causing Q1 to turn on, and the battery starts to supply power. After passing through the sampling resistor R1 and the current detection chip IC1, the battery discharge current (ADC_DischargeCurrent) is output to the MCU circuit. When the MCU circuit detects that the battery is not installed or the system is in standby mode, it controls T1 to turn off, causing Q1 to turn off, and the battery stops supplying power to the outside, achieving low power consumption. The power consumption is as low as 50 microamperes during low power operation.

[0033] Figure 4 This is the battery voltage detection circuit. IC4 is an op amp. The battery voltage and external power supply voltage are amplified by the op amp and then given to the MCU circuit.
[0034] Figure 5 The battery status indication circuit includes a buzzer and a battery power indication circuit. Figure 5 The upper part is the buzzer circuit. The battery power indicator circuit controls the corresponding pins to output high and low levels through the MCU circuit according to the calculated battery power, and turns on and off transistors T3~T6 (i.e. indicator lights) respectively, and controls LED1~LED4 to light up or turn off, which is used to indicate the current working status and battery power.
[0035] Figure 6 This is an external power supply voltage detection circuit. When an external power supply is inserted, the voltage is divided by R39 and R41, and a level is given to the corresponding pin of the MCU circuit. The MCU circuit detects the voltage parameters of the corresponding external power supply based on this level.

The circuit composed of T10, T9, and Q3 can achieve low power consumption when the battery is not connected to the control box and the external power supply. The circuit composed of T10 and Q3 can realize the function of external button wake-up control system (i.e. release low power mode), specifically: when an external button is pressed, the Button_Pressed pin detects a high level. At the same time, the T10 transistor will be turned on. The conduction of the T10 transistor will cause the Q3 MOS tube to be turned on. Then IC5 outputs 3.3V to power the system to realize the wake-up function.
