Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of door lock circuits, in particular to a digital automobile door lock state display circuit. Background Art
[0002] A car's door lock system primarily consists of three components: the door lock switch, the door lock actuator, and the door lock controller. The door lock actuator, controlled by the door lock controller, performs the locking and unlocking tasks. The door lock controller provides the lock / unlock pulse current to the door lock actuator, controlling the direction of the current flowing through the actuator. A car's door lock indicator light typically indicates the status of the vehicle's door lock system. An illuminated door lock indicator light may indicate that the door is not fully locked, or that there is a problem with an internal switch.
[0003] If a car door is not closed properly, the indicator light will usually be on. If you simply use the IO port of the microcontroller to light the light, the brightness will be dim due to limited driving capability, and the prompt will not be obvious. If you need to increase the brightness, you need to add a driving circuit, which is relatively expensive. Utility Model Content
