[0021] Attached Figure 1 is the schematic diagram of the detection circuit of the charger in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. Specific Embodiments
[0022] This embodiment is a charger detection circuit, which intuitively displays the relevant indicators of the charger. Using this detection circuit, the voltage division multiple of the voltage division circuit can be adjusted according to the different nominal output voltages of the charger, and different chargers can be detected, especially during the aging process of the charger. For example Figure 1 As shown, it is a monitoring circuit used when a charger with an output voltage of 5VDC is aging. Observed by the indicator light, the specific output of this charger is: 4.7 - 5.3VDC is the normal output, when it is higher than 5.3VDC and lower than 4.7VDC, the red light is on, only when it is between 4.7 - 5.3VDC, the green light is on only, but when the output voltage of the charger is lower than 4.5VDC, it means it is lower than the load-carrying voltage and both lights are off. Therefore, in this embodiment, three detection circuits are adopted, namely the first detection circuit for detecting whether the output voltage of the charger is higher than the load-carrying voltage (4.5VDC), the third detection circuit for detecting whether the output voltage of the charger is lower than the control low voltage (4.7VDC), and the third detection circuit for detecting whether the output voltage of the charger is higher than the control high voltage (5.3VDC). The structures of these three detection circuits are basically the same. As Figure 1 shown, they are all compared with the corresponding set signals. When the output voltage of the charger reaches the corresponding set value, the comparator flips to control whether the indicator light is lit.
[0023] Such asFigure 1 As shown: In this embodiment, a detection circuit of a charger is provided to detect the direct current output by the charger, including an indicator light; the indicator light includes a first indicator light indicating that the charger is working and has a voltage output, and a second indicator light indicating that the output voltage of the charger is too high or too low; in this embodiment, the first indicator light is a green-light-emitting LED, and the second indicator light is a red-light-emitting LED.
[0024] In the power supply loop for supplying power to the green-light LED and the red-light LED of the charger output, a first switch is provided. This switch is an electronic switch. In this embodiment, an NPN triode Q1 is used. The base of the triode Q1 is controlled by a first detection circuit. A second switch is provided in the power supply loop of the red-light LED. In this embodiment, the second switch selects a PNP triode Q4. The base of the triode Q4 is controlled by a second detection circuit and a second detection circuit. In this embodiment, the status is indicated by red and green lights. If the output voltage of the charger is lower than 4.5VDC, no light is on. If it is lower than 4.7VDC and higher than 4.5VDC, both the red light and the green light are on. If the output voltage of the charger is between 4.7 - 5.3VDC, only the green light is on. When the output voltage of the charger is higher than 5.3VDC, both the red light and the green light are on.

The detection signal is taken from the output terminal of the comparator U2B as the output terminal of the second detection circuit, and the effective output signal is a low level;
[0028] The third detection circuit includes a comparator U2C. The voltage output terminal of the charger is connected to the "-" terminal of the comparator U2C, the set control low voltage signal is connected to the "+" terminal of the comparator U2C, and the detection signal is taken from the output terminal of the comparator U2C as the output terminal of the third detection circuit, and the effective output signal is at a low level;
[0029] At the voltage output terminal of the charger, it is also connected to the comparator after passing through a voltage dividing circuit respectively. The loaded voltage signal, the control high voltage signal, and the control low voltage signal are also connected to the comparator after passing through the corresponding voltage dividing circuits. In this embodiment, the loaded voltage signal, the control high voltage signal, and the control low voltage signal are 4.5VDC, 4.7VDC, and 5.3VDC respectively, and can be set according to the specifications of the charger in practice, or these set voltages can be set by adjusting the voltage dividing resistors. There are 4 voltage dividing circuits in this embodiment. Three voltage dividing circuits are used to divide the output voltage of the charger, and the other voltage dividing circuit divides the 3.3VDC standard voltage and compares it with the charger output voltage after being divided in the same way.
