[0015] In order to be able to more clearly describe the technical content of the present utility model, the following will be further described in combination with specific embodiments.

[0016] The system for realizing Ethernet port conversion of the present utility model includes a PoE network port input module, a transformer, a PoE network port output module, an MCU detection switch, a MOS switch, a 54V to 12V step-down circuit, an adapter interface input module, a priority switch, and a 12V to 54V boost circuit. The output end of the PoE network port input module is connected to the transformer, the output end of the transformer is respectively connected to the PoE network port output module, the MCU detection switch is connected to the primary center tap of the transformer and also connected to the A / D center tap of the transformer, the output end of the MCU detection switch is connected to the MOS switch, the output end of the MOS switch is connected to the 54V to 12V step-down circuit, the output end of the adapter interface input module is connected to the priority switch, the output end of the priority switch is connected to the 12V to 54V boost circuit, and the output end of the 12V to 54V boost circuit is connected to the B / C center tap of the transformer.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, when the PoE network port input module inputs data with PoE and the adapter interface input port is vacant, the transformer separates data and the power supply 54V_IN, the transformer transmits the data to the PoE network port output module, the transformer transmits the power supply 54V_IN to the MCU detection switch, and sends a V_ON signal through the MCU detection switch to turn on the MOS switch, and the 54V to 12V step-down circuit receives 54V_IN and outputs a 12V_OUT DC power supply.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the PoE network interface input module inputs data with PoE. When the adapter interface inputs 12V, the transformer transmits the data to the PoE network interface output module. The adapter interface input module transmits the 12V_AD signal to the priority switch. The priority switch is not turned on, and the PoE network interface output module outputs data.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the PoE network interface input module inputs data without PoE. When the adapter interface inputs 12V, the transformer transmits the data to the PoE network interface output module. The adapter interface input module transmits the 12V_AD signal to the priority switch. The priority switch is turned on, and the 12V to 54V boost circuit outputs a 54V power supply to the B / C center tap of the transformer. The MCU detection module detects whether the backend device meets the standard of the powered device. If it meets the power receiving standard, it pulls V_DTC to the ground to output a 54V voltage.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the priority switch circuit includes a first triode Q1, a second MOS tube Q2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first diode D1. The gate and source of the second MOS tube Q2 are conducted. The second MOS tube Q2 is connected to the 12V to 54V boost circuit. The base of the first triode Q1 is connected to the 12V_OUT signal. The emitter of the first triode Q1 is grounded. The collector of the first triode Q1 is connected to the 12V_AD signal through the first resistor. One end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first resistor R1, and the other end is grounded. The negative pole of the first diode D1 is connected to the first resistor, and the positive pole is grounded.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the system further includes a second rectifier bridge D2 and a third rectifier bridge D3. The second rectifier bridge D2 and the third rectifier bridge D3 are connected to the transformer.

[0022] In the specific embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, when the PoE network interface inputs data with PoE and the adapter interface input port is vacant, the network interface signal is transmitted to the transformer, and the data and the power supply 54V_IN are separated respectively. The data is transmitted to the output network interface through the transformer. After the power supply 54V_IN successfully shakes hands with the PSE through the MCU simulating a PD device and issues a V_ON signal to turn on the MOS switch, the 54V_IN flows to the 54V to 12V buck circuit to output a 12V_OUT DC power supply, realizing the separate transmission of data and 12V power supply;

[0023] When the PoE network port inputs data with PoE and the adapter interface inputs 12V, the data is transmitted through the transformer to the output network port, and 12V_AD is input to the priority switch. This switch executes that the priority of 12V_OUT is greater than that of 12V_AD. That is, when the PoE network port inputs data with PoE, 12V_AD cannot open the switch to supply power to the 12V-to-54V boost circuit. Therefore, similar to the previous case, the output 12V power supply is converted by the PoE network port, and the network port outputs data;

[0024] When the PoE network port inputs data without PoE and the adapter interface inputs 12V, the data is transmitted through the transformer to the output network port. There is no 12V_OUT signal. 12V_AD is input to the priority switch to turn on the switch, supply power to the 12V-to-54V boost circuit, and output the 54V power supply 54V_OUT to the center tap B / C wire pair of the transformer. The signal V_DTC controlled by the MCU detection module is connected to the center tap A / D wire pair of the transformer, which is responsible for detecting whether the backend device meets the power receiving device standard. When the power receiving standard is met, V_DTC is pulled to the ground to output 54V voltage, realizing the conversion of the network port without PoE to the network port with PoE by inputting 12V low-voltage DC.

[0025] Such as Figure 2 As shown in the priority switch circuit, when 12V_OUT is at a high level, regardless of whether 12V_AD is at a high level or a low level, the G pole and S pole of MOS transistor Q2 are conducted, and the MOS is turned off; when 12V_OUT is at a low level and 12V_AD is at a high level, MOS transistor Q2 is conducted, and the 12V-to-54V boost conversion is performed through U1 to output the 54V power supply 54V_OUT.

[0026] Such as Figure 3 As shown in the basic schematic diagram of PoE port conversion, CN2 is the input of the PoE network port. The network port signal separates the differential voltage on the network port wire pair through the center tap of the primary side of transformer T1, and after the rectifier bridges D2 and D3, the 54V power supply 54V_IN is obtained. After 54V_IN is input to the MCU detection module, the MCU simulates the PD device to handshake with the front-end PSE device. After the handshake is successful, it controls the V_ON signal to be at a high level to turn on MOS transistor Q3. The 54V_IN is input to the 54V-to-12V step-down chip U3 for step-down, and the output is the 12V voltage 12V_OUT to the adapter output terminal CN4 to realize power supply to the outside. Combined with Figure 2It can be known that when the CN2 inputs a network port signal without PoE and the adapter input interface CN1 inputs a 12V power supply, 12V_AD is high and 12V_OUT is low. After being boosted by U1, 54V_OUT is obtained. 54V_OUT is connected to the center tap of the secondary of the transformer, corresponding to the network port B and C wire pairs. To achieve power supply, the negative voltage of the center tap corresponding to the network port A and D wire pairs, that is, V_DCT, is also required. V_DCT is a detection signal sent by the MCU detection module. When it is necessary to detect whether the rear-end powered device meets the power reception standard, V_DCT and 54V_OUT form a detection voltage of about 10V to detect the rear-end powered device. After detecting that it meets the power reception standard, V_DCT is conducted with GND_OUT. At this time, the secondary A and D wire pairs of the transformer are negative voltages, and the B and C wire pairs are positive voltages, with a voltage difference of 54V. Combined with the wire pair data, it is output to CN3, making CN3 a PoE network port and realizing the conversion from a common network port to a PoE network port.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is different from the prior art in that a secondary power supply is used for low-voltage power supply.
