Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative labor.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an AGV power on / off circuit of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0023] like Figure 1The AGV power on / off circuit of the present application is shown, which is used to control the power on / off of the AGV equipment. The AGV power on / off circuit includes: a battery module, a step-down module, an MCU module, a double-pole double-throw tact switch and an electronic switch.

[0024] Specifically, the battery module is used to provide electrical energy at a first voltage. In the present application, the first voltage is 48V. The step-down module is connected to the battery module to reduce the electrical energy provided by the battery module from the first voltage to a second voltage. Specifically, the step-down module converts the 48V voltage provided by the battery module to 3.3V. The MCU module is connected to the step-down module. The MCU module operates at the second voltage. The MCU module is connected to various peripheral electronic devices, and the MCU module is used to control these peripheral electronic devices.

[0025] One of the double-pole double-throw tact switch switches is connected to the first power-on line of the battery module, and the other of the double-pole double-throw tact switch switches is connected to the MCU module. Specifically, one side of the other of the double-pole double-throw tact switch switches is grounded and the other side is connected to the MCU module.

[0026] The electronic switch is provided on the second power-on circuit of the battery module and is also connected to the MCU module. Preferably, the electronic switch is a relay. In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic switch is a photorelay. The first power-on circuit and the second power-on circuit are connected in parallel.

[0027] Specifically, in the initial state, the double-pole double-throw (DPDT) tact switch is open. When the DPDT tact switch is pressed, one of the switches closes, short-circuiting the first power-on circuit. At this point, the battery module outputs 48V, the step-down module operates, and the MCU module receives power and starts up.

[0028] The other switch of the double-pole double-throw tact switch is closed, and a power-on signal is sent to the MCU module. The touch time of the double-pole double-throw tact switch is preferably greater than or equal to 0.5s. In an embodiment of the present application, the touch time of the double-pole double-throw tact switch is greater than or equal to 1s. As long as the double-pole double-throw switch is touched for 1 second, the MCU module considers it a normal power-on signal. After the MCU module receives the power-on signal, the MCU module sends a self-locking control signal to the electronic switch, the electronic switch is closed, the second power-on circuit is short-circuited, and the short-circuited power transmission state of the battery module is locked. At this time, even if the double-pole double-throw tact switch is released, the battery module can still continue to output. When the battery power consumption is lower than the threshold or a shutdown command is received, releasing this self-locking switch can achieve a complete shutdown. At this time, the MCU module sends a disconnect signal to the electronic switch, the electronic switch is opened, and the second power-on circuit is disconnected.

[0029] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
