[0053] In this embodiment of an intelligent power control circuit, AC power is connected through a power interface. The first rectifier T1 and the first capacitor C1 perform rectification and filtering. At this time, because the sixth resistor R6 is grounded, the second switch V2 is turned on. The fourth resistor R4, together with the second switch V2 and the fifth resistor R5, provides a first feedback signal to the fifth terminal of the first regulator IC1. The first power transistor Q1 transmits the processed signal to the first regulator IC1, enabling the first regulator IC1, in conjunction with the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the first inductor L1, the third capacitor C3, the first diode D1, and the first feedback signal, to perform DC-DC regulation on the transmitted power, thereby outputting a low voltage.

When the output port is connected to the electronic device, the first optocoupler J1 is turned on, and simultaneously, the B terminal of the first logic chip J2 becomes high. The F terminal of the first logic chip J2 outputs a high level and controls the fourth switch D4 to turn on, energizing the first timer IC2. Transistor V4, eleventh resistor R11, fourth capacitor C4, and fifth capacitor C5 output a high-level signal at the timer, which triggers the first switch V1 to conduct and the first power transistor Q1 to turn off. At this time, the first regulator IC1 stops working. To avoid the risk of electric shock caused by connecting the output port to the user and to facilitate the user to safely connect the output port to the electronic device, after the timing ends, the third terminal of the first timer IC2 outputs a low level, the first power transistor Q1 turns on again, the first regulator IC1 is powered on again, and since the output port is connected to the electronic device, the first optocoupler J1 conducts, which makes the third switch V3 conduct and the second switch V2 turn off. The third switch V3, together with the fourth resistor R4 and the seventh resistor R7, provides the second feedback signal to the first regulator IC1. The first regulator IC1 normally provides regulated power to the output port. After the power interface stops receiving AC power, the F terminal of the first logic chip J2 will output a low level again, so that the first timer IC2 can restart the timing operation.
