[0002] A power bank is a portable charger that can be carried around and stores its own electrical energy. It is mainly used to charge consumer electronic products such as handheld mobile devices (e.g., cordless phones, laptops), especially in situations where there is no external power supply.

[0003] Portable power banks are now essential travel items. However, most portable power banks on the market only offer wired or wireless charging, and they remain idle most of the time. Furthermore, existing remote controls only work with specific products, leading to a cumbersome experience for users with numerous appliances and remotes. Currently, none of Apple's iPhones, iPads, or MacBooks have built-in infrared emitters, thus lacking infrared remote control functionality. To enable infrared remote control for Apple devices, an infrared accessory is typically designed to connect via a Thunderbolt or Lightning connector, providing both power and data transfer. However, using Thunderbolt or Lightning connectors requires Apple's MFi (Made in China) certification. MFi certification is cumbersome, time-consuming, and requires expensive Apple-designed chips. For Android and HarmonyOS phones, OTG is disabled by default on some models, automatically turning off after 5-10 minutes of inactivity. This is detrimental to the rapid market launch, cost-effectiveness, and user experience of consumer electronics.

[0017] Combination Figure 1 To address the issues of existing power banks having limited functionality and high idle rates, requiring additional infrared accessories and cumbersome MFi certification for Apple devices, and the inconvenience of enabling OTG on some Android phones, which negatively impacts the user experience of consumer electronics, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0018] This utility model discloses a mobile power supply circuit utilizing Bluetooth and infrared modulation technology, comprising three parts: a main control MCU module, a power supply module, and an infrared transmitting module. Specifically:

[0019] The circuit includes a Bluetooth chip U1 using a Bluetooth protocol version below 4.0 (excluding 4.0). Pin 32 of Bluetooth chip U1 is connected to pin 2 of Zener diode U2. Zener diode U2 plays a role in stabilizing the voltage in this circuit, ensuring that the input voltage is kept within a suitable range. This ensures that subsequent circuit components can operate under stable voltage and avoids the impact of voltage fluctuations on circuit performance. A capacitor C1 (4.7uF) is connected to pin 2 of Zener diode U2. The other end of capacitor C1 is connected to capacitor C18. The two ends of capacitor C18 are connected to pins 2 and 3 of crystal oscillator Y2, respectively. Pins 1 and 3 of crystal oscillator Y2 are connected to each other (the operating frequency of crystal oscillator Y2 is 16MHz, which is used to provide a stable clock frequency for Bluetooth chip U1 or other components in the circuit that require a precise clock. A stable clock signal helps to ensure the stability and accuracy of the circuit, especially in situations where precise time control is required, such as the modulation and demodulation process of Bluetooth and infrared communication). Pins 3 and 1 of crystal oscillator Y2 are connected to pins 6 and 7 of Bluetooth chip U1, respectively. Pin 1 of crystal oscillator Y2 is connected to capacitor C19, and the other end of capacitor C19 is grounded. Pin 4 of crystal oscillator Y2 is grounded. Meanwhile, pin 32 of the Bluetooth chip U1 is also connected to the emitter of MOSFET Q2. Resistors R5 and R6 (both 1kΩ) are connected in parallel to the emitter of MOSFET Q2. Resistors R5 and R6 are connected to the anodes of infrared LEDs D1 and D2, respectively. The cathodes of infrared LEDs D1 and D2 are connected to the base of MOSFET Q2. A resistor R2 (1kΩ) is connected between the base and emitter of MOSFET Q2. Resistor R2 limits the base current of MOSFET Q2, preventing excessive current from damaging the MOSFET. The base of MOSFET Q2 is connected to pin 9 of Bluetooth chip U1. The collector of MOSFET Q2 is connected to resistor R3 (5.1Ω). The other end of resistor R3 is connected to the anode of infrared LED D3 (connected in parallel), resistor R4 (180kΩ), and capacitor C22. The cathode of infrared LED D3, the other end of resistor R4, and capacitor C22 are all connected to pin 8 of Bluetooth chip U1. Through the coordinated operation of pins 8 and 9, Bluetooth chip U1 can modulate the infrared LEDs D3, D1, and D2. For example, by changing the frequency and duty cycle of the output signals from pins 8 and 9, the intensity and frequency characteristics of infrared light can be modulated. Radio frequency signals include 315MHz, 433MHz, 915MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5GHz, thereby enabling the transmission of different encoded information for more complex data interaction with devices that support infrared reception and decoding, such as precise control of electrical appliances in smart home systems.

[0020] Capacitors C16 and C17 are connected in parallel to pin 32 of Bluetooth chip U1, with the other ends of capacitors C16 and C17 grounded. Capacitors C14 and C15 are also connected in parallel to pin 32 of Bluetooth chip U1, with the other ends of capacitors C14 and C15 grounded. The capacitance of capacitors C14, C15, C16, and C17 is 1uF. Pin 1 of Zener diode U2 is grounded, and pin 3 of Zener diode U2 is connected to the BIT port of the pad. The end of capacitor C1 furthest from Zener diode U2 is connected to the GND port of the pad. Capacitors C20 (0.1uF) and C21 (10pF) are connected in parallel to pin 16 of Bluetooth chip U1, with the other ends of capacitors C20 and C21 grounded. Capacitors C20 and C21 act as filters at pin 16 of Bluetooth chip U1, mainly to filter out any noise signals that may appear on this pin, ensuring the stability of Bluetooth chip U1 during data processing and communication operations. Because pin 16 of the Bluetooth chip U1 may be involved in the transmission or processing of some critical signals during operation, such as data bus signals, a stable signal environment helps improve the accuracy and reliability of data transmission, reduces the probability of data errors and communication interference, and thus ensures the normal operation of the entire Bluetooth communication function.

[0021] Specifically, the power supply module uses BIT and GND pads to input a 3.7-5V power supply. This power is regulated by Zener diode U2 and outputs a 3.3V voltage to power the system and ensure normal circuit operation. Bluetooth chip U1, as the core component, receives infrared control commands from the host computer (such as a mobile phone or other Bluetooth master device). The commands are output through pin 9 (PWM3) of Bluetooth chip U1, driving MOSFET Q2 to encode the commands into infrared square wave signals, which are then emitted by infrared LED D3 to control infrared devices. Infrared LED D3 can also receive infrared signals emitted by other infrared devices. Bluetooth chip U1 collects information through pin 8 (AD0 acquisition port), and the main control algorithm analyzes and identifies the waveform signal corresponding to the infrared command. The signal is then transmitted to the mobile phone via Bluetooth to enable infrared code learning and expand the cloud server's code library. During this process, capacitors C1, C14-C18, and C20-C21 act as filters, stabilizing circuit performance. Resistors R2-R6, along with infrared LEDs D1-D3 and MOSFET Q2, work together to modulate, transmit, and receive the infrared signal. This circuit utilizes Bluetooth and infrared modulation technology to integrate the infrared control circuit into the power bank, improving its reuse rate and solving the power supply problem for the infrared control module. It can replace multiple ordinary remote controls, reducing the number of remote controls needed, improving user experience, saving production resources, protecting the environment, and avoiding Apple's MFI certification process and high costs, making it convenient for Android users.
