Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a timer, more specifically to an intelligent timer. Background Art
[0002] The power supply circuit of the timer is mostly complex. For example, Chinese patent CN 202394140 U discloses a time-based circuit temperature control timer, whose power supply circuit needs to be equipped with multiple electrolytic capacitors for filtering, and also needs to be equipped with an RC circuit to realize the effect of resistance-capacitance voltage reduction. However, since it relies on resistors and capacitors for voltage reduction, and needs to reduce the voltage from 220V to 5-24V, it has high requirements on the withstand voltage of the capacitor. Therefore, ordinary chip capacitors are not suitable for this power supply circuit, and polyester capacitors are needed. The cost and volume of polyester capacitors exceed the cost and volume of chip capacitors. In addition, electrolytic capacitors are also needed for filtering, and the cost and volume of electrolytic capacitors are also large. Therefore, the power supply circuit will occupy a large position on the circuit board. For some timers that pursue small size, the excessive size it occupies will affect the volume of the timer, and it is difficult to meet the design requirements of small-volume timers.
[0003] For this purpose, there is a utility model patent with patent number 2023214330463 in the prior art, which is named a timer. The utility model patent discloses that: by using a step-down circuit composed of two chip resistors, the power supply can be reduced from 220V to the required low voltage, and a half-wave rectifier circuit is used to output the voltage VCC. The circuit structure is simple, and the timing function can be realized by using smaller or fewer components to reduce the cost. Correspondingly, an indication circuit is also provided in the scheme, and an independent indication function is realized by connecting two LED indicator lights in parallel and the two pins of the timing chip through the LED indicator lights. However, the indication circuit is connected to the power supply after connecting two LED indicator lights in parallel and then a resistor in series. Since the output voltage of the timing chip pin is fixed, the brightness of the two LED indicator lights can only be fixed. Therefore, the timer cannot meet the requirements of different customers for the brightness of the indicator lights. Utility Model Content

Through the arrangement of the above structure, the conversion of the AC power supply can be simply and effectively achieved through the step-down rectification method. The filter circuit is composed of the capacitor C1 and the resistor R8. Compared with the single capacitor filtering method used in the prior art, the filtering effect is better, so that the output power is more stable and reliable.
[0023] As an improved specific embodiment, the shell 1 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, the upper cover 11 is covered on the lower cover 12, the upper side of the upper cover 11 is provided with an air vent for gas to pass through, and the lower side of the lower cover 12 is provided with a mounting hole for mounting a mosquito coil bottle, and the mounting hole is arranged opposite to the air vent.
