Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a power failure protection and detection circuit, including:

[0038] Power failure protection circuit, used to protect the main control board in the event of a sudden power failure;

[0042] The filter inductor 3, the power-down protection anti-reverse diode 4, the first resistor 5, the voltage stabilizing capacitor and the supercapacitor are connected in series to form a circuit, which is connected to the power supply input port 1 and grounded.

[0043] A common diode 6 is connected in parallel across the first resistor 5, and a Zener diode is connected in parallel across the supercapacitor.

[0044] The power supply port of the hollow board is electrically connected to the power failure protection diode 4 and the first resistor 5.

[0045] The supercapacitors include: a fourth supercapacitor 7, a fifth supercapacitor 8, and a sixth supercapacitor 9;

[0046] The fourth supercapacitor 7, the fifth supercapacitor 8, and the sixth supercapacitor 9 are connected in series in this circuit;

[0047] The first Zener diode 10, the second Zener diode 11, and the third Zener diode 12 are connected in parallel across the two ends of the fourth supercapacitor 7, the fifth supercapacitor 8, and the sixth supercapacitor 9, respectively.

[0048] The voltage stabilizing capacitor includes: a first voltage stabilizing capacitor 13, a second voltage stabilizing capacitor 14 and a third voltage stabilizing capacitor 15;

[0049] The first voltage regulator capacitor 13, the filter inductor 3, the power-down protection reverse diode 4, the first resistor 5, the fourth supercapacitor 7, the fifth supercapacitor 8 and the sixth supercapacitor 9 are connected in series to form a circuit;

[0050] The two ends of the first voltage-stabilizing capacitor 13 are connected in parallel with the power supply input port 1;

[0051] The second voltage regulator capacitor 14 is connected in parallel across the first voltage regulator capacitor 13;

[0052] The third voltage-stabilizing capacitor 15 is connected in parallel across the second voltage-stabilizing capacitor 14;

[0053] The filter inductor 3 is located on the line between the first voltage-stabilizing capacitor 13 and the second voltage-stabilizing capacitor 14;

[0054] The power-down protection anti-reverse diode 4 is located on the line between the second voltage-stabilizing capacitor 14 and the third voltage-stabilizing capacitor 15.

[0055] The main control board power supply port 2 is located on the line between the power-down protection anti-reverse diode 4 and the third voltage regulator capacitor 15.

[0056] The power failure protection circuit works as follows: The main control system typically operates at a power supply voltage of 24V and has an internal level conversion circuit. For a white-box system, the developer can roughly estimate the overall operating power consumption and the minimum voltage required to maintain the function. The capacitance value of the supercapacitor that can maintain operation for seconds in the event of a sudden power failure can be obtained through the capacitor discharge formula.

[0057] When the system boots up normally, the main control board is powered by the power input port. At this time, the power supply voltage is transmitted to the main control board's power supply port through the reverse protection diode for power-down protection, powering the main control board. Simultaneously, it charges the fourth, fifth, and sixth supercapacitors through the first resistor (a cement resistor). The current flow is: power input port - filter inductor - reverse protection diode for power-down protection - first resistor - fourth supercapacitor - fifth supercapacitor - sixth supercapacitor. During this process, the main control board's power supply port gradually stabilizes from a low level to the operating voltage. After charging is complete, the supercapacitors will stop charging, and the voltage distribution of each series-connected supercapacitor will be maintained uniformly due to the voltage equalization effect of the first, second, and third Zener diodes, preventing severe bias that could shorten the capacitor's lifespan.

[0058] In the event of a sudden power outage, the input voltage at the power supply input port suddenly drops to 0. At this time, the energy stored in the supercapacitor will be gradually released. Due to the presence of the reverse protection diode for power outage protection, the energy output by the capacitor will only supply the power supply port of the main control board as the energy for the operation of the main control system. At this time, the current direction is from the sixth supercapacitor to the fifth supercapacitor, then to the fourth supercapacitor, and finally to the ordinary diode. It will not pass through the first resistor, thereby reducing losses and extending the protection time.

[0059] The detection feedback circuit includes: an operational amplifier 16 and an NPN transistor 17;

[0060] The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 16 is connected to the power supply port 2 of the main control board, the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 16 is connected to the power supply input port 1, and the output terminal of the operational amplifier 16 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor 17.

[0061] The collector of the NPN transistor 17 is connected to a 5V voltage, and the emitter of the NPN transistor 17 is grounded.

[0062] A third resistor 19 is provided between the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 16 and the power supply port 2 of the main control board. A second resistor 18 is provided between the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 16 and the power supply input port 1. A fourth resistor 20 is connected in parallel between the second resistor 18 and the output terminal of the operational amplifier 16. A branch is led out from the line between the second resistor 18 and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 16, and a fifth resistor 21 is connected on the branch. The fifth resistor 21 is grounded.

[0063] A sixth resistor 22 is provided between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 16 and the base of the NPN transistor 17. A seventh resistor 23 is connected in parallel between the sixth resistor 22, the base of the NPN transistor 17, and the emitter of the NPN transistor 17. The collector of the NPN transistor 17 is connected to the voltage 5V through an eighth resistor 24.

[0064] To ensure that the operational amplifier circuit can function normally during power loss, Figure 2 The operational amplifier and 5V power supply are both obtained by level conversion from the power supply port of the main control board.

[0065] The operating principle of the detection circuit is as follows:

[0066] When the device is powered on, the input voltage at the power supply input port is greater than the output voltage at the main control board power supply port, and the operational amplifier's power supply voltage cannot meet the normal operation of the operational amplifier at this time. During the charging process, the power supply input port gradually rises to the operating voltage. At this time, the operational amplifier's output voltage is (main control board power supply port - power supply input port * fourth resistor / second resistor) < transistor conduction voltage. The feedback signal outputs a 5V high level, indicating that the power failure has not occurred.

[0067] When a fault occurs, the system suddenly loses power, that is, the power supply input port drops to 0V. The operational amplifier output voltage can turn on the NPN transistor. At this time, the feedback signal is pulled low to a low level. The system detects the change in the feedback signal and sends a blocking command to complete the power failure protection and reduce the risk of damage.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
