Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of doorbell technology, and in particular to a doorbell AC power supply control circuit. Background Technology

[0002] In modern home security systems, doorbells, as a fundamental communication tool, directly impact user experience and security through their design and functionality. However, in-depth analysis of existing doorbell systems reveals several key design and implementation issues that limit their performance and reliability.

[0003] Residual voltage issue: Existing doorbell systems have deficiencies in power management, especially under low battery conditions. Due to the lack of effective power optimization design, when the battery level drops to a certain point, the system cannot maintain normal operation, causing the doorbell to fail to respond at critical moments, thus reducing its practicality and reliability.

[0004] Insufficient safety: In terms of safety performance, existing doorbell systems may not adequately consider electrical safety requirements. For example, the lack of key safety features such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection may cause the system to not only malfunction under abnormal operating conditions but also potentially lead to safety accidents such as fires or electric shocks.

[0005] Software Dependency: The control logic of existing doorbell systems relies too heavily on software, which not only increases system complexity but also limits the independent control capabilities of the hardware. When software problems arise or updates are needed, the doorbell system may malfunction, resulting in additional maintenance costs and inconvenience for users.

[0006] Line loss issue: Existing doorbell systems have high line loss during power transmission, which not only reduces energy efficiency but may also lead to performance degradation when transmitting power over long distances.

[0007] Compatibility issues: Existing doorbell systems may not adequately consider compatibility with different types of doorbells (such as mechanical chimes and electronic chimes), limiting user choice and system flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0065] Furthermore, the short-circuit control circuit 402 includes diodes D2, D4, and D3, resistors R8 and R10, a switching chip U2, capacitors C15 and C14, and a relay J1. The third pin of the switching chip U2 is electrically connected to the first terminals of resistors R8 and R10. The second terminal of resistor R8 is electrically connected to the first terminals of diodes D2 and D4. The second terminal of resistor R10 is grounded, and the second terminal of diode D4 is electrically connected to the corresponding terminal of the doorbell detection control circuit. The fourth pin of the switching chip U2 is grounded via capacitor C15. The fifth pin of the switching chip U2 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor C14, the first terminal of diode D3, and the first pin of relay J1.

[0066] In this embodiment, the short-circuit control circuit 402 uses U2 (model TMI6220) and J1 (model HF33F / 005-HSL3F relay) to form a switching device.

[0067] Furthermore, the doorbell detection and control circuit 402 includes a capacitor C16, a resistor R9, a diode D5, and a push-button switch SW1.

In this embodiment, the doorbell detection and control circuit 402 realizes the functions of external pressure detection and short-circuit control. When SW1 is pressed, the KEY_CONTROL signal becomes high, triggering the short-circuit control circuit.

[0068] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0069] When the push-button switch SW1 is not pressed, the KEY_CONTROL signal is low due to the pull-down effect of resistor R10. At this time, the EN pin of switch chip U2 is also low, preventing switch chip U2 from turning on and thus preventing the +5V_BAT power supply from reaching pins 2 and 4 of relay J1. Relay J1 will then be in the off state. Meanwhile, with the KEY_CONTROL signal low, the controller sets AC_Control low and AC_Control2 high. This converts the AC power supply to 5V via voltage conversion chip U1 to supply power to the subsequent system. At this time, the entire external AC power supply only powers the system; the circuit will not power the mechanical or electronic chime, rendering the mechanical or electronic chime unusable.

[0070] When the push-button switch SW1 is pressed, the KEY_CONTROL signal is high because SW1 is connected to power. At this time, the EN pin of the switch chip U2 is also high, turning on U2 and supplying +5V_BAT power to pins 2 and 4 of relay J1, causing relay J1 to short-circuit. Meanwhile, with the KEY_CONTROL signal high, the controller sets AC_Control high, AC_Control2 low, and AC_Control high, thus preventing AC power from reaching the downstream system. In this state, the external AC power supply only powers the external system, and the circuit powers either the mechanical or electronic chime, enabling the mechanical or electronic chime to function and produce a ding-dong sound.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
