The non-inverting input terminals of the first voltage comparison circuit and the second voltage comparison circuit are further connected to a reference voltage, which is used as a threshold value for determining power failure of the power supply. The output of the first voltage comparison circuit / the second voltage comparison circuit is independently connected to the input of one of the drive circuits, and the output of the corresponding drive circuit is connected to the trigger terminal of the first electronic control unit / the second electronic control unit. The switch action terminal of the first electronically controlled switch / the second electronically controlled switch is used to connect the output of the power supply to the load. It should be noted that a diode is connected between the first electronically controlled switch and the load, and a diode is also connected between the second electronically controlled switch and the load to prevent the direct parallel connection of the two independent power supplies from causing one power supply with different internal resistance and different charge and discharge to form a load for the other (not shown in the figure). drawn, this is the prior art); the inputs of the OR gate are respectively connected to the outputs of two independent power supplies, and the outputs of the OR gate provide power for the voltage sampling unit, the voltage comparison unit, and the drive circuit; through the connection of the OR gate, on the one hand, an independent power supply with sufficient power can be preferentially selected to provide power to the voltage sampling unit, the voltage comparison unit, and the drive circuit to ensure the normal operation of the circuit, and on the other hand, when one of the power supplies is short of power first, double isolation can be achieved through the first electronically controlled switch / the second electronically controlled switch and the diode to avoid the short-powered power supply from continuing to consume power as a load, thereby extending the service life of the power supply; when the first voltage comparison circuit / the second voltage comparison circuit outputs a high level / a low level, the first electronically controlled switch / the second electronically controlled switch is correspondingly cut off / on. In this embodiment, the two independent power supplies are the first battery unit and the second battery unit respectively; as Figure 2As shown, the or gate is a diode or gate circuit, including diodes D1, D2 and resistor R, and the power output provides voltage sampling unit and the like circuit power supply; the reference voltage includes a power supply voltage stabilizing module, the outputs of the first battery unit and the second battery unit are connected to the input of the power supply voltage stabilizing module through diodes, and the output of the power supply voltage stabilizing module is the output of the reference voltage, which is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first voltage comparison circuit / second voltage comparison circuit. In this embodiment, the power supply voltage stabilizing module can use TL431, and according to the low-voltage parameters of the battery, the reference voltage output can be realized by combining peripheral resistance adaptation.

[0019] As an embodiment, the first control switch and the second control switch are P-channel MOS tubes, the S pole of the first control switch P-channel MOS tube is connected to the positive pole of the first battery unit, the G pole is connected to the output of the corresponding driving circuit of the first voltage comparison circuit, and the D pole is connected to the load; the S pole of the second control switch P-channel MOS tube is connected to the positive pole of the second battery unit, the G pole is connected to the output of the corresponding driving circuit of the second voltage comparison circuit, and the D pole is connected to the load.

By including the reference voltage in the input of the or gate, the situation that cannot be alarmed when the first power supply and the second power supply are simultaneously disconnected or extremely low can be avoided.

[0022] The embodiment also provides a power switching system with automatic charging function, comprising a power switching circuit as described above, the first battery unit and the second battery unit are chargeable battery units; correspondingly, the power switching system also comprises a solar panel, a solar charging management module, a third electric control switch and a fourth electric control switch; wherein the output of the solar panel is connected with the input of the solar charging management module, the output of the solar charging management module is connected with the second battery unit and the first battery unit through the switch action end of the third electric control switch and the switch action end of the fourth electric control switch respectively, so as to realize the connection of the charging circuit; the output of the first voltage comparison circuit is connected with the switch trigger end of the fourth electric control switch through the driving circuit; the output of the second voltage comparison circuit is connected with the switch trigger end of the third electric control switch through the driving circuit. Thus, the first battery unit and the second battery unit can be charged by the solar panel, and through appropriate power matching design and illumination measurement, the first battery unit / second battery unit can be continuously powered by solar energy, and the influence of battery replacement or power shortage can be reduced.
