[0032] Embodiment 1, refer to the attached Figure 1 , 2 , a Type C circuit with adjustable voltage, including a battery circuit, a socket circuit, and a Type C plug circuit, characterized in that:

[0033] The battery circuit includes a battery, a Type C protocol chip, and an MCU1 chip, wherein the positive end of the battery is connected in series with a MOS tube Q1 and a MOS tube Q2, a resistor L1 is connected in series between the MOS tube Q1 and the MOS tube Q2, the Type C protocol chip is connected in parallel between the MOS tube Q1 and the MOS tube Q2, the Type C protocol chip is connected in series with the MCU1 chip, and the MCU1 chip is connected in parallel to the connection line between the MOS tube Q1 and the MOS tube Q2 and the Type C protocol chip;

[0034] The female socket circuit includes a first Vbus+ terminal, a first CC1 terminal, a first CC2 terminal, a first DP terminal, a first DM terminal, a first contact rod, a first PACK+ terminal, a first Vbus- terminal, and a first PACK- terminal, wherein the first Vbus+ terminal is connected in series with the MOS tube Q2, and the first CC1 terminal, the first CC2 terminal, the first DP terminal, and the first DM terminal are respectively connected to the Type C protocol chip; the contact rod is connected to the MCU1 chip, and a travel switch K1 is connected in series between the contact rod and the MCU1 chip connection line, the first PACK+ terminal is connected between the positive terminal of the battery and the MOS tube Q1, and the first Vbus- terminal and the first PACK- terminal are both connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

[0035] The Type C plug circuit includes a power chip, an MCU2 chip, an LDO auxiliary power supply chip, a LEMO connector, a Fisher connector, a second Vbus+ terminal, a second CC1 terminal, a second CC2 terminal, a second DP terminal, a second DM terminal, a second contact rod, a second PACK+ terminal, a second Vbus- terminal, and a second PACK- terminal, wherein the positive terminal of the LEMO connector is connected to the positive terminal of the Fisher connector and is connected in series with the second Vbus+ terminal and the second PACK+ terminal, and the negative terminal of the LEMO connector is connected to the negative terminal of the Fisher connector and is connected in series with the second Vbus- terminal and the first The second PACK-end is connected, and a Mos tube Q2 is connected in series between the second PACK+ end and the MCU2 chip; the power-taking chip is respectively connected to the second CC1 end, the second CC2 end, the second DP end, and the second DM end, and the second Vbus+ end and the second PACK+ end are connected in parallel with an LDO auxiliary power supply module, the LDO auxiliary power supply module is connected to the MCU2 chip, and the LDO auxiliary power supply module and the MCU2 chip are connected to the power-taking chip, and the MCU2 chip is connected with a K2 switch; one end of the MCU1 chip in the battery part circuit is connected to an overload prompt module, a first rectifier diode D1 is connected in series between the second Vbus+ end and the LDO auxiliary power supply module in the Type C plug part circuit, and a second rectifier diode D2 is connected in series between the second Vbus+ end and the LDO auxiliary power supply module; one end of the MCU2 chip in the Type C plug part circuit is connected to an overload prompt module; one end of the MCU2 chip in the Type C plug part circuit has an output voltage display module.

[0036] When in use, the Type C interface can realize Type C input to meet the power supply requirements of electrical devices with different interfaces and different voltages. In the photography and video industry, the power supply requirements of LEMO connectors are generally 11V-17V, and the power supply requirements of Fisher connectors are generally high voltage 28V. When the user connects the LEMO connector or Fisher connector to the output end of the Type C plug, the user can adjust the K2 button in the plug to select the voltage value. Press K2 for 3S to enter the output voltage selection mode. Each press selects a voltage level. The plug will display the corresponding output voltage, and the voltage levels are 5V / 15V / 20V / 28V respectively.

[0037] At present, the power supply requirements of some photographic and video equipment are greater than 5A, so the conventional Type C output power supply capacity cannot meet the user's use. The power supply range of cameras and equipment is generally 11V-17V, and the power supply of batteries on the market is also 11V-17V. Therefore, when the user selects the 15V gear, the communication between the plug and the socket, the battery Type C protocol chip of the socket is disabled, and MCU1 directly controls MOS tubes Q1 and Q2 to pass through. At this time, MCU2 in the plug controls MOS tube Q3 to turn on and off. After the plug is inserted into the socket, the contact piece 1 in the plug and the battery positive electrode PACK+ of the contact piece 1 in the socket are in contact, and the contact piece 2 in the plug and the battery negative electrode PACK- of the contact piece 2 in the socket are in contact. Therefore, the battery supplies power to the device through the Type C port and the spring, which can meet the user's high current power supply needs. When the user selects the 5V / 20V / 28V gear according to the output connector, MCU1 controls the Type C protocol chip to enable, and MCU2 controls the MOS tube Q3 to turn off and on. At this time, the power supply of the connector comes from the conventional output power supply of Type C;

[0038] When the device connected to the Type C plug output connector is overloaded, the Type C protocol chip is protected, MOS tubes Q1 and Q2 are turned off, the VBUS of the female socket has no output, and the female socket has an overload prompt. At this time, the battery will continue to provide auxiliary power to the MCU2 of the plug through the contact piece, and the plug will also have an overload prompt. Users can judge whether the Type C is overloaded by the overload prompt of the female socket or the plug;

[0039] In order to reduce battery power consumption, the socket enters a sleep state when it detects that no plug is inserted. When the plug is inserted into the socket at the battery end, the contact surface of the plug contacts and squeezes the contact rod in the socket. At this time, the contact rod presses the travel switch K1. After the travel switch K1 is closed, MCU1 detects the signal and activates the Type C protocol chip. The VBUS of Type C can be output normally. In addition, the signal of the travel switch K1 can also be used as a signal to indicate whether the plug is inserted properly. If the detected signal is incorrect, the access mark will not be displayed on the socket.

[0040] Embodiment 2, refer to the attached Figure 3 , 4A Type C interface device of a Type C circuit with adjustable voltage comprises a Type C female socket 1 and a Type C plug 2, wherein the Type C female socket 1 is provided with a female socket inner ring 3 and a female socket outer ring 4, the female socket outer ring 4 is provided with a plastic protrusion 5, the Type C plug 2 is provided with a plug inner ring 6 and a plug outer ring 7 which cooperate with the female socket inner ring 3 and the female socket outer ring 4, the plug outer ring 7 is provided with a card slot 8 corresponding to the plastic protrusion, and a LEMO connector cable 9 and a Fisher connector cable 10 are provided at the rear end of the plug; the female socket outer ring 4 is provided with a diagonal card slot 11, and the plug outer ring 7 is provided with a diagonal card block 12 corresponding to the diagonal card slot 11; the Type C plug 2 is provided with a voltage display light 13.

[0041] When in use, the Type C socket 1 and the Type C plug 2 are inserted together, and the plastic protrusion 5 is inserted into the card slot 8, so that the Type C socket 1 and the Type C plug 2 are locked to prevent separation. Under the action of the diagonal card slot 11 and the diagonal card block 12, the plug is not easy to twist, which plays a fastening role and a positioning role;

[0042] The outer ring 4 of the female socket can be circular or rectangular; the outer ring 7 of the plug can be circular or rectangular.

[0043] The above description is only for illustrating the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations that conform to the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
