Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic payment technology, and in particular to a POS terminal device with long battery life. Background Technology
[0002] POS (Point of Sales) is a multi-functional terminal installed at merchant locations and acceptance points that accept credit cards. Connected to a computer network, it enables automatic electronic fund transfers. It supports functions such as purchases, pre-authorization, balance inquiries, and transfers, and is secure, fast, and reliable. In large transactions, basic business intelligence is often difficult to obtain; implementing a POS system primarily addresses information management blind spots in the retail industry. It is also a crucial component of chain store management information systems.
[0003] For the USB external power supply of POS terminals, the commonly used power source is the 2032 button cell battery, with a rated voltage of 3V and a capacity of approximately 200mAh. The power consumption of the USB external power supply for common POS terminal chips is in the 10uA range, and the theoretical standby time of a button cell battery is about 2.3 years. Considering the lifespan of a POS terminal, 2.3 years is insufficient to meet its usage requirements. The battery may eventually run out of power, requiring the terminal to be returned to the manufacturer for repair, negatively impacting POS terminal quality, after-sales costs, and customer experience. Therefore, how to increase the battery life of the USB external power supply for POS terminals has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a POS terminal device with long battery life.
[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a POS terminal device with long battery life is provided, comprising: a button battery, a rechargeable battery, a USB external power supply, an R5 resistor, and a security chip;
[0006] The rechargeable battery is connected in parallel with the USB external power supply, and has a first power supply circuit output.
[0007] The button battery outputs a second power supply circuit;
[0008] The first power supply circuit is connected in parallel with the second power supply circuit, and a third power supply circuit is output. The third power supply circuit is electrically connected to the resistor R5 and the safety chip to output power.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the power supply voltage of the USB external power supply is greater than the power supply voltage of the rechargeable battery;
[0010] The rechargeable battery's external power supply via USB is greater than the power supply voltage of the button cell battery.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the output of the first power supply circuit is electrically connected to a step-down chip.
[0012] In one possible implementation, it also includes: a first diode, a second diode, a third diode, and a fourth diode;
[0013] The first diode is electrically connected to the output terminal of the button cell;
[0014] The second diode is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first power supply circuit;
[0015] The third diode is electrically connected to the output terminal of the rechargeable battery;
[0016] The fourth diode is electrically connected to the output terminal of the USB external power supply.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the first diode, the second diode, the third diode, and the fourth diode are all Schottky diodes RB521S.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the security chip is the MH1902.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the step-down chip is ME6209.
[0020] One possible implementation also includes: resistor R4;
[0021] The resistor R4 is connected in series between the button cell and the first diode.
[0022] One possible implementation also includes: resistor R6;
[0023] The resistor R6 is connected in series between the rechargeable battery and the second diode.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the long-lasting POS terminal device according to the embodiments of this application are as follows: By setting up three external power supplies—a button battery, a rechargeable battery, and a USB external power supply—the POS terminal device is provided with triple power, thereby greatly improving the device's battery life. The button battery is small and easy to install, providing strong support for the normal operation of the POS terminal device. The rechargeable battery is connected in parallel with the USB external power supply, so even when the rechargeable battery is depleted, the USB external power supply can still power the POS terminal device, ensuring normal operation. Specifically, the output terminals of the rechargeable battery and the USB external power supply are connected in parallel. Since the supply voltage of the USB external power supply is greater than that of the rechargeable battery, the USB external power supply is given priority. Furthermore, the supply voltage of the rechargeable battery and the USB external power supply in parallel is greater than that of the button battery, so either the rechargeable battery or the USB external power supply is given priority to power the battery power domain. When the USB external power supply and the rechargeable battery lose power, the button battery is then used to power the battery power domain, maximizing the button battery's lifespan.

[0034] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the long-battery-life POS terminal device of this application embodiment includes: a button battery 200, a rechargeable battery 300, a USB external power supply 400, a resistor R5 610, and a security chip 100. The rechargeable battery 300 and the USB external power supply 400 are connected in parallel and have a first power supply circuit output. The button battery 200 outputs a second power supply circuit. The first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit are connected in parallel and have a third power supply circuit output. The third power supply circuit is electrically connected to the resistor R5 610 and the security chip 100 to output power.
[0036] In this embodiment, by setting up three USB external power supplies 400—a button battery 200, a rechargeable battery 300, and a USB external power supply 400—the POS terminal device is provided with triple power supply, which greatly improves the device's battery life. Furthermore, the button battery 200 is small in size and easy to install, providing strong support for the normal operation of the POS terminal device. The rechargeable battery 300 and the USB external power supplies 400 are connected in parallel, with the USB external power supply 400 providing priority power to the battery's USB external power domain, followed by the rechargeable battery 300, and finally the button battery 200 continuously supplying power to the battery's USB external power domain, ensuring the normal operation of the device. Specifically, the output terminals of the rechargeable battery 300 and the USB external power supply 400 are connected in parallel. Since the supply voltage of the USB external power supply 400 is greater than that of the rechargeable battery 300, the USB external power supply 400 is given priority to supply power to the battery power domain. Furthermore, the supply voltage of the rechargeable battery 300 and the USB external power supply 400 connected in parallel is greater than that of the button battery 200. Therefore, either the rechargeable battery 300 or the USB external power supply 400 is given priority to continuously supply power to the battery power domain. When the USB external power supply 400 and the rechargeable battery 300 lose power, the button battery 200 is then used to continuously supply power to the battery power domain, thus maximizing the lifespan of the button battery 200.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the power supply voltage of the USB external power supply 400 is greater than the power supply voltage of the rechargeable battery 300, and the power supply voltage of the USB external power supply 400 from the rechargeable battery 300 is greater than the power supply voltage of the button battery 200. Specifically, the button battery 200 is a 2032 button battery with a rated voltage of 3V and a capacity of 220mAh; the rechargeable battery 300 has a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a capacity of 2200mAh; and the USB external power supply 400 has a power supply voltage of 5V and a power supply current of 1A.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the output terminal of the first power supply circuit is electrically connected to a step-down chip 700, which can easily adjust the voltage of the first power supply circuit to the required voltage value to meet different usage requirements.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, the circuit further includes: a first diode 510, a second diode 520, a third diode 530, and a fourth diode. The first diode 510 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the button battery 200, the second diode 520 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first power supply circuit, the third diode 530 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the rechargeable battery 300, and the fourth diode 540 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the USB external power supply 400. This allows for rectification of the output currents of the button battery 200, the rechargeable battery 300, and the USB external power supply 400, ensuring stable circuit operation.
[0040] Furthermore, in this specific embodiment, the first diode 510, the second diode 520, the third diode 530, and the fourth diode 540 are all Schottky diodes RB521S. Schottky diodes RB521S have the advantages of extremely short reverse recovery time, low forward voltage drop, low forward conduction loss, and good high temperature resistance, which ensures the reliable operation of the circuit.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the security chip 100 is MH1902. MH1902 supports cryptographic algorithms such as RSA, DES, 3DES, SHA-1, SHA-256, and random number generation, and has excellent performance, ensuring the security of payment transactions.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the step-down chip 700 is an ME6209. The ME6209 has a wide input voltage range and a high switching frequency, which can drive larger loads and further improve the reliability of power supply.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, it further includes: resistor R4 620. Resistor R4 620 is connected in series between button battery 200 and first diode 510, which can limit the output current of button battery 200 and protect the normal operation of the circuit.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, it further includes: resistor R6 630, which is connected in series between rechargeable battery 300 and second diode 520, and can limit the output current of rechargeable battery 300 to ensure stable operation of circuit.
