[0046] Specific working principle:
[0047] In the circuit of this utility model, connector J1 is the external interface part, RX0 and TX0 are the external communication interfaces, and the OUT terminal is a single-channel control output, such as turning on the main power supply.
[0048] When no one is nearby, only this radar sensing module 1 operates with extremely low power consumption. When a human body is detected, the OUT terminal will be turned on, the main power supply will be turned on, and the high power consumption circuit will be turned on, so as to extend the life or save energy and reduce consumption.
[0049] The NPN transistor Q8 circuit section serves as a digital output current amplifier, providing a larger drive current to drive external circuits.
[0050] ANT stands for antenna;
[0051] For the power supply, you can choose either 5V or 3.3V; Figure 7 It is an LDO linear regulator unit that can convert the input voltage to 3.3V; Figure 6 0 ohms means soldering uses 5V, no soldering means using Figure 7 LDO in;
[0052] This circuit, relying on the program of the motherboard, can perform two functions: one is to save power and energy, and the other is to protect the human body from harm. The radar sensing module 1 has the function of sensing the human body, and then sends a signal to the motherboard, which performs the two functions through the program.
[0053] The circuit in this invention mainly functions as a sensor switch. It can be set to turn on the water dispenser when a person approaches the radar detection range, and to put the water dispenser into sleep mode after a set time has elapsed since the person leaves the radar detection range. Alternatively, it can be set to pause the disinfection function of the water dispenser when a person approaches the radar detection range, and to restart the disinfection function after a set time has elapsed since the person leaves the radar detection range.
[0054] When this circuit is used as an automatic energy-saving system of microwave radar human detection module, after the water dispenser has finished working and no moving object is detected within the sensing range of microwave radar human detection module, the system will automatically enter a sleep state after a set time. All electrical components of the water dispenser will operate at the lowest power consumption. When someone approaches or uses the water dispenser, the microwave radar human detection module circuit will immediately wake up the main system of the water dispenser, thereby achieving the automatic energy-saving effect of the water dispenser and improving the service life of electrical components.
[0055] When this circuit is used as an automatic proximity safety protection system for the microwave radar human detection module, it acts as a sensor switch during the water dispenser's disinfection process. When a passerby approaches the 5.8GHz microwave radar human detection module's sensing range and the water dispenser system is automatically disinfecting and discharging water, the system will immediately shut off the voltage to the disinfection valve and all water outlet solenoid valves, closing the disinfection and water outlet valves. Simultaneously, the system will issue a voice prompt: "Do not approach during high-temperature disinfection," thus providing protection against burns from close proximity. The system will resume disinfection after 60 seconds once the passerby leaves the safe range of the 5.8GHz microwave radar human detection module.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
