[0020] Figure 1 A circuit structure diagram of the utility model is expressed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The preferred embodiments described below are for example only, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0022] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the words "include", "comprising" and similar words should be interpreted in an inclusive sense rather than an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, in the sense of "including but not limited to".

[0023] See also Figure 1, this embodiment provides a voltage intelligent detection alarm control circuit, including a voltage dividing detection unit, a control unit, a light display alarm unit and a sound display alarm unit. Among them, the voltage dividing detection unit at least includes a first voltage dividing resistor and a second voltage dividing resistor connected in series with the load circuit, and the voltage dividing detection unit forms a detection signal according to the voltage change; the control unit is connected to the series connection point between the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor; the light display alarm unit and the sound display alarm unit are connected to the control unit. The circuit of this scheme is connected to the load, and the detection pin of the control unit is connected to the series connection point between the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor. When the power supply voltage is stable and normal, the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor change very little, so that the voltage across the resistors does not change. When the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor are in contact with liquid or other conductors or the power supply working voltage changes, their resistance values ​​will change, so that the voltage across the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor will change. Thus, the control unit controls the two alarm units to make sound reminders and light reminders, which play an alarm role.

[0024] The above is necessary to achieve the technical purpose of this embodiment, and is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] The light display alarm unit warns through light, and it at least includes a first transistor and an alarm indicator light. The first transistor is connected to the control unit, and the alarm indicator light is connected to the first transistor. The alarm indicator light is preferably an LED indicator light. Similarly, the sound display alarm unit warns through sound, and it at least includes a second transistor and an acoustic display module. The second transistor is connected to the control unit, and the acoustic display module is connected to the second transistor. The acoustic display module is preferably a speaker component.

[0026] The control unit uses existing control module components, which are soldered to the circuit board and connected to the circuit through pins, such as a single-chip microcomputer, a microprocessor, etc.

[0027] Please combine Figure 1, this embodiment can be used for water leakage detection of load circuits, and its voltage change is the voltage change formed after the water leakage contacts the circuit. Specifically, the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) are connected in series between the positive and negative poles of the power supply, and the detection pin of the control module components is connected to the series point between the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2). When the power supply voltage is stable and normal and there is no water leakage contact, the resistance change of the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) is very small, so the voltage across the resistors does not change. When the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) are in contact with liquid or other conductors, their resistance values ​​will change and the voltage across the resistors will change. The control module components detect whether the product is leaking in this way. When the voltage changes when water leakage occurs, the display reminder pin of the control module components outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1), saturating the first transistor (Q1) so that the C pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1) are turned on, thereby lighting the indicator LED1. The light display alarm unit also includes a first pull-down resistor (R4), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the first transistor (Q1) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module components is a low level, thereby improving anti-interference. At the same time, the sound reminder pin of the control module components outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2), saturating the second transistor (Q2) so that the C pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2) are turned on, thereby causing the sound display module to work and remind. The sound display alarm unit also includes a second pull-down resistor (R7), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the second transistor (Q2) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module components is a low level, thereby improving anti-interference.

[0028] This embodiment can also be used for power supply voltage stability detection of a load circuit, and its voltage change is the real-time working voltage change of the power supply. Specifically, the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) are connected in series between the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply, and the detection pin of the control module components is connected to the series connection point between the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2). When the power supply voltage is stable and normal, the resistance change of the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) is very small, so that the voltage across the resistors does not change. When the power supply voltage increases or decreases, the voltage across the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) will also change. The control module components detect the voltage change of the voltage-dividing resistor in this way to determine the real-time voltage state of the power supply. When the power supply voltage is too high or too low, the display reminder pin of the control module component outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1), saturating the first transistor (Q1) so that the C pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1) are turned on, thereby lighting the indicator LED1. The light display alarm unit also includes a first pull-down resistor (R4), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the first transistor (Q1) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module component is a low level, thereby improving the anti-interference performance. At the same time, the sound reminder pin of the control module component outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2), saturating the second transistor (Q2) so that the C pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2) are turned on, thereby causing the sound display module to work and remind. The sound display alarm unit also includes a second pull-down resistor (R7), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the second transistor (Q2) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module component is a low level, thereby improving the anti-interference performance. It should be noted that this embodiment does not involve improvements in program control, and the control methods involved are all preset programs of the microcontroller. This embodiment aims at the connection combination between various components.

[0029] Beneficial effects of this embodiment:

[0030] It solves the problem that the product circuit leaks and cannot give an alarm; and the cost of the sensor is eliminated through circuit settings, which is more economical and safer.

[0031] The power supply voltage status can be monitored in real time, which is safe and reliable, ensuring the safety of the product, ensuring economy and saving costs.

It can be used for water leakage detection and real-time monitoring of power supply voltage of the water flosser.

[0034] Among them, the light display alarm unit warns through light, and it at least includes a first transistor and an alarm indicator light. The first transistor is connected to the control unit, and the alarm indicator light is connected to the first transistor. The alarm indicator light is preferably an LED indicator light. Similarly, the sound display alarm unit warns through sound, and it at least includes a second transistor and a sound display module. The second transistor is connected to the control unit, and the sound display module is connected to the second transistor. The sound display module is preferably a speaker component. The control unit adopts existing control module components, which are soldered to the circuit board and connected to the circuit through pins, such as a single-chip microcomputer, a microprocessor, etc.

[0035] Specifically, the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) are connected in series between the positive and negative poles of the power supply, and the detection pin of the control module components is connected to the series point between the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2). When the power supply voltage is stable and normal and there is no leakage, the resistance of the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) changes very little, so the voltage across the resistors does not change. When the first voltage-dividing resistor (R1) and the second voltage-dividing resistor (R2) are in contact with liquid or other conductors, or when the power supply voltage increases or decreases, their resistance values ​​will change, and thus the voltage across the resistors will change. The control module components detect whether the product is leaking or the power supply is over-voltage or under-voltage in this way. When a water leakage contacts the circuit or the voltage changes unstably, the display reminder pin of the control module components outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1), saturating the first transistor (Q1) so that the C pole and the E pole of the first transistor (Q1) are turned on, thereby lighting the indicator LED1. The light display alarm unit also includes a first pull-down resistor (R4), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the first transistor (Q1) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module components is a low level, thereby improving the anti-interference performance. At the same time, the sound reminder pin of the control module components outputs a high level to generate a voltage difference between the B pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2), saturating the second transistor (Q2) so that the C pole and the E pole of the second transistor (Q2) are turned on, thereby causing the sound display module to work and remind. The sound display alarm unit also includes a second pull-down resistor (R7), which defaults to pull-down to make the B pole of the second transistor (Q2) a low level, so that the display reminder pin of the control module components is a low level, thereby improving the anti-interference performance. It should be noted that this embodiment does not involve improvements in program control, and the control methods involved are all preset programs of the microcontroller. This embodiment aims at the connection combination between various components.

[0041] Among them, the light display alarm unit warns through light, and it at least includes a first transistor and an alarm indicator light. The first transistor is connected to the control unit, and the alarm indicator light is connected to the first transistor. The alarm indicator light is preferably an LED indicator light.
