[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a specific embodiment of an overheat protection circuit.

[0027] An overheat protection circuit, reference Figure 1 The overheat protection circuit includes an adapter interface 100, a device interface 200, a sound card interface 300, a control module 400, a detection module 500, a first MOS transistor Q1 and a second MOS transistor Q2.

[0028] Among them, reference Figure 1 The power supply terminal VBUS of the adapter interface 100 is respectively connected to the power supply terminal VBUS of the device interface 200 and the power supply terminal VBUS-IN of the sound card interface 300. The detection module 500 is used to collect the temperature of the PD sound card. The input terminal of the control module 400 is connected to the output terminal of the detection module 500. The output terminal of the control module 400 is connected to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1. The source S of the first MOS transistor Q1 is grounded. The drain D of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the gate G of the second MOS transistor Q2. The source S of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the sound card interface 300. The drain D of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the power supply terminal VBUS of the device interface 200.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The device interface 200 is used to connect external devices, such as mobile phones, the adapter interface 100 is used to connect an external power supply, and the sound card interface 300 is used to connect a PD sound card, which is a sound card with PD fast charging; the power supply end VBUS of the adapter interface 100 is connected to the power supply end VBUS of the device interface 200, and can be used to power the connected device. The power supply end VBUS of the adapter interface 100 is also connected to the power supply end VBUS-IN of the sound card interface 300, and can be used to power the sound card interface 300.

[0030] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The detection module 500 is specifically an NTC detection module for monitoring the temperature of the connected sound card. The signal input end of the control module 400 is connected to the signal output end of the detection module 500 to obtain the temperature information detected by the detection module 500.

[0031] Further, refer to Figure 1 A first MOS transistor Q1 and a second MOS transistor Q2 are provided between the power supply terminal VBUS of the adapter interface 100 and the power supply terminal VBUS of the device interface 200. The first MOS transistor Q1 is a control MOS transistor for controlling the on / off switching of the second MOS transistor Q2, and the second MOS transistor Q2 is a switch MOS transistor for controlling the on / off switching of the power supply circuit. A signal output terminal of the control module 400 is connected to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1 to output a corresponding voltage level to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1 based on received temperature information to control the on / off switching of the first MOS transistor Q1. A source S of the first MOS transistor Q1 is grounded, a drain D of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the gate G of the second MOS transistor Q2, a source S of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the sound card interface 300, and a drain D of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the power supply terminal VBUS of the device interface 200.

[0032] When the external sound card is charging at high power, it will continuously generate heat. The detection module 500 continuously monitors its temperature and sends the information to the control module 400. When the sound card temperature exceeds the set operating temperature, the control module 400 will receive an overtemperature signal. The control module 400 will then send a corresponding level signal to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1 to control the first MOS transistor Q1 to be turned off. The drain D of the first MOS transistor Q1 will output a low level, and the gate G of the second MOS transistor Q2 will be pulled low, turning off the second MOS transistor Q2. The power of the adapter interface 100 will not be able to power the device connected to the device interface 200 through the second MOS transistor Q2, thereby achieving charging protection. The adapter interface 100 can still maintain power supply to the external sound card. Furthermore, because the second MOS transistor Q2 has a built-in parasitic diode, the device connected to the device interface 200 can also power the external sound card through the parasitic diode in the second MOS transistor Q2, ensuring that local music playback and other functions are not affected.

[0033] When the temperature of the external sound card drops, the detection module 500 will detect that the temperature has returned to the set operating temperature range. The control module 400 will output a corresponding voltage level to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1 to control the first MOS transistor Q1 to turn on, thereby controlling the second MOS transistor Q2 to turn on, so that the power of the adapter interface 100 can be supplied to the device connected to the device interface 200 through the second MOS transistor Q2, thereby realizing overheat protection of the product.

[0034] With the rapid expansion of fast charging protocols, high-current charging has become more popular. There is a phenomenon that sound cards with PD charging overheat during charging. Excessive product temperature will lead to a large amount of energy loss, and excessive temperature can easily damage the product. More seriously, there may be a risk of fire. Currently, there is no better overheating protection for such products.

[0035] In this embodiment, an overheat protection circuit is designed, including an adapter interface 100, a device interface 200, a sound card interface 300, a control module 400, a detection module 500, a first MOS transistor Q1, and a second MOS transistor Q2. This solution uses the detection module 500 to collect temperature data from the external sound card. When the temperature exceeds a set operating temperature, the external device automatically enters an overheat protection mechanism, which cuts off the input of external power through the first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2 to prevent the device from overheating and catching fire. This also reduces the charging time of the device at high temperatures, avoids unnecessary energy loss in the product, and extends the product's service life, significantly improving both product safety and utilization.

[0036] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3The overheat protection circuit further includes a protocol chip 600 , which is connected to the gate G of the first MOS transistor Q1 , the power supply terminal VBUS of the device interface 200 , and the power supply terminal VBUS of the adapter interface 100 , respectively.

A source S of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the sound card interface 300, and a drain D of the fourth MOS transistor Q4 is connected to the power supply terminal VBUS of the adapter interface 100 for controlling the on / off of the charging circuit between the adapter interface 100 and the sound card interface 300.
