[0014] Figure 1 It is a circuit diagram of the present utility model. Specific implementation method:
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0016] See Figure 1 As shown, a charger activation circuit includes a charger output terminal 1, a control chip 2, and an output control relay circuit unit 3, a battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4, an activation circuit unit 5, a battery presence detection circuit unit 6, and a control chip 2, all of which are connected to the control chip 2. The output control relay circuit unit 3 and the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 are both connected to the battery terminal 7. The output control relay circuit unit 3 is also connected to the charger output terminal 1, and the control chip 2 is connected to the +5V power supply terminal 101 so that the control chip 2 is powered by the +5V power supply terminal 101.

[0017] When the present invention is working, the charger is in standby mode and no battery is connected to the battery terminal 7, the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 does not detect the voltage, the control chip 2 determines that no battery is connected and sends a standby signal, and the relay 31 is not turned on.
[0018] When the battery is connected, three situations occur:
[0019] 1. The control chip 2 cooperates with the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 to detect that the battery has reached the full voltage. The charger does not charge the battery and the relay 31 does not open.

After the battery terminal 7 receives the activation voltage, the MOS will be charged. After the control chip 2 cooperates with the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 to detect that this voltage is within the chargeable range, the control chip 2 outputs a high level to turn on the relay 31, and then the battery is charged normally.
[0022] In other words, the present invention can completely isolate the harmful effects of high voltage on the human body (the safe voltage for the human body is 36V), achieving a zero voltage output when the charger is unloaded, while not affecting the normal charging of the product. Furthermore, the present invention can activate batteries protected by a lithium battery protection board (some batteries may be under-voltage due to over-discharge at the user end), protecting the battery while not affecting normal charging. The present invention can successfully activate batteries with voltages of 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 60V, and 72V.
[0023] The model of the control chip 2 is N76E003.
[0024] The rectifier and filter circuit 51 includes a diode D3 and a diode D4, a resistor R19 and a capacitor C9. The anode of the diode D3 is connected to the anode of the diode D4, and the cathode and anode of the diode D3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the resistor R17. The cathode of the diode D4 is connected to the control chip 2. The cathode of the diode D4 is also connected to the capacitor C9 and then grounded. The two ends of the resistor R19 are respectively connected to the two ends of the capacitor C9.

[0029] The working principle of the present utility model is described in more detail below.
[0030] When the utility model is working, the charger is in standby mode and no battery is connected to the battery terminal 7. At this time, the voltage of pin 1 of the control chip 2 is 0; pin 13 of the control chip 2 outputs a 50KHZ square wave with an amplitude of 3.3V and a duty cycle of 40-60%. After being rectified and filtered by diode D4, resistor R19 and capacitor C9, the square wave is connected to pin 20 of the control chip 2. At this time, the voltage of pin 20 of the control chip 2 is close to 3.3V. At this time, the control chip 2 determines that no battery is connected and thus sends a standby signal, and the relay 31 is not opened.
[0031] When the battery is connected, three situations occur:
[0032] 1. Pin 19 of the control chip 2 detects that the battery has reached full voltage through the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4. The charger does not charge the battery and the relay 31 does not open.

[0034] 3. Pin 19 of the control chip 2 detects that there is no voltage at the battery terminal 7 through the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 (for example, the protection board cuts off the battery output after the battery is over-discharged). The battery presence detection circuit unit 6 starts working, and pin 13 of the control chip 2 outputs a 50KHz AC square wave. After activating the capacitor C6 and resistor R16 of the battery return 52 in the circuit unit 5, a loop is formed through the connected battery, which lowers the voltage of the pin (i.e., pin 20) connected to the rectifier filter circuit 51 in the control chip 2. The control chip 2 then determines that a battery is connected to the battery. Terminal 7, pin 12 of the control chip 2 outputs a high level to turn on the transistor Q3, and then turns on the transistor Q5. The voltage at the charger output terminal 1 is activated (i.e., provides an activation voltage) to the connected battery through the ultra-fast rectifier diode D11, transistor Q5, and resistor R10. After the battery terminal 7 receives the activation voltage, the MOS will be charged. After pin 19 of the control chip 2 cooperates with the battery voltage sampling circuit unit 4 to detect that this voltage is within the chargeable range, pin 10 of the control chip 2 outputs a high level to turn on the relay 31, and then the battery is charged normally.
