When the main power supply Vmain is normal, the control circuit controls the switching transistor Q1 and the switching transistor Q2 to be turned off at the same time, and the main power supply Vmain supplies power to the load; when the main power supply Vmain is powered off, the control circuit controls the switching transistor Q1 and the switching transistor Q2 to be turned on at the same time, and the standby power supply Vbackup supplies power to the load through the switching transistor MOS. Among them, the switching transistor Q1 and the switching transistor Q2 are reversely connected in series, so as to ensure that the standby power supply Vbackup and the main power supply Vmain cannot form a path through the switching transistor Q1 and the switching transistor Q2 after the switching transistor Q1 and the switching transistor Q2 are turned off.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] The switch unit 110 includes the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2, the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are reversely connected between the backup power Vbackup and the main power Vmain, and the output end Vload of the main power Vmain is connected with the load.

[0037] The unidirectional conduction unit 120 is connected with the control end of the first switch transistor Q1 at the first end, and is connected with the control end of the second switch transistor Q2 at the second end, and the unidirectional conduction unit 120 has the characteristic of cut-off from the second end to the first end, that is, the current can only flow from the first end to the second end of the unidirectional conduction unit 120, and cannot flow from the second end to the first end of the unidirectional conduction unit 120.

[0038] The control unit 130 is connected with the second end of the unidirectional conduction unit 120 and the control end of the second switch transistor Q2.

[0039] For example, the control unit 130 can directly or indirectly collect the voltage of the main power supply Vmain.

In addition, since the unidirectional conduction unit 120 has the characteristic of being cut off from the second end to the first end, it can be ensured that when the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are turned off, the main power supply Vmain and the backup power supply Vbackup cannot form a path through the control end of the first switch transistor Q1 and the control end of the second switch transistor Q2, avoiding the short circuit of the main power supply Vmain and the backup power supply Vbackup, and improving the safety. When the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is less than the preset value, it indicates that the main power supply Vmain is under voltage or power failure, and the control unit 130 sends a turn-on signal to the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2, so that the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are turned on, and the load is powered by the backup power supply Vbackup.

It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present application, the one-way conducting unit 120 can also include other components or multiple one-way diodes, as long as it has the characteristic of the second end to the first end cut-off, and the present application does not limit it here.

When the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is less than the preset value, it indicates that the main power supply Vmain is under voltage or power failure, the control unit 130 sends a low-level signal (or no signal), so that the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are turned on, and the load is powered by the backup power supply Vbackup.

[0047] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 can also be N-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, and correspondingly, the voltage dividing unit can be modified, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, when the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is greater than or equal to a preset value, it indicates that the main power supply Vmain is working normally, the control unit 130 sends a high-level signal, the high-level signal is divided by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and the voltage of the second resistor R2 is transmitted to the control ends of the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2, so that the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are turned off, and the load is powered by the main power supply Vmain. When the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is less than the preset value, it indicates that the main power supply Vmain is under voltage or power failure, the control unit 130 sends a low-level signal (or no signal), so that the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2 are turned on, and the load is powered by the backup power supply Vbackup.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the power switching circuit further comprises a current limiting unit 150, a first end of the current limiting unit 150 is connected with a third end of the voltage dividing unit 140 (i.e. a first end of the second resistor R2), and a second end of the current limiting unit 150 is connected with a second end of the unidirectional conducting unit 120 (i.e. a cathode of the unidirectional diode D1) and a control end of the second switch transistor Q2 respectively. The current limiting unit 150 plays a role of current limiting, avoiding damage caused by excessive current at the control end of the first switch transistor Q1 and the second switch transistor Q2.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the control unit 130 can be a control chip U1, which can adopt XC61CC series, XC61CN series chip, a voltage collection end ADC of the control unit 130 is connected with an output end Vload of the main power supply Vmain, for collecting voltage of the main power supply Vmain. The control unit 130 directly collects voltage of the power supply Vmain, a voltage detection module (ADC analog-digital conversion) is built in the control unit 130, by reading input voltage of the main power supply Vmain, compared with internal voltage reference, when detecting that the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is greater than or equal to a preset value, a high level is output from an output end Vout of the control unit 130, when detecting that the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is less than the preset value, a low level is output from the output end Out of the control unit 130 or no output. At the same time, the voltage collection end ADC of the control unit 130 can also be used as a power supply input end of the control unit 130, and the control unit 130 directly takes power from the main power supply Vmain.

[0052] Figure 4 Another power switching circuit provided by the present application has a structure schematic diagram as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is collected by a voltage collection unit, and the rest of the circuit structure is the same as the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the power switching circuit also includes a voltage acquisition unit 160. The input terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 160 is connected to the output terminal Vload of the main power supply Vmain, and the output terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 160 is connected to the voltage acquisition terminal ADC of the control unit 130. The voltage acquisition unit 160 is used to acquire the voltage of the main power supply Vmain and convert it into a voltage that meets the operating voltage range of the control unit 130. The control unit 130 includes a control chip U2, which has a built-in voltage detection module (ADC analog-to-digital converter). By reading the voltage output by the voltage acquisition unit 160 and comparing it with an internal voltage reference, it determines whether the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is greater than or equal to a preset value. When the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is greater than or equal to the preset value, the output terminal Out of the control unit 130 outputs a high level; when the voltage of the main power supply Vmain is less than the preset value, the output terminal Vout of the control unit 130 outputs a low level or no output.

The voltage acquisition unit 160 divides the acquired voltage of the main power supply Vmain and outputs the voltage of the fourth resistor R4 to the control unit 130.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the power switching circuit also includes an energy storage unit 170. The first terminal of the energy storage unit 170 is grounded, and the second terminal of the energy storage unit 170 is connected to the power supply input terminal of the control unit 130. Figure 3 ADC in Figure 4 The energy storage unit 170 is connected to the main power supply (Vmain) during the operation of the power switching circuit. For example, the energy storage unit 170 is charged and stores electrical energy during the operation of the power switching circuit. When the power switching circuit switches from being powered by the backup power supply Vbackup to being powered by the main power supply Vmain, the energy storage unit 170 releases electrical energy to maintain the operation of the control unit 130. The control unit 130 continues to output a conduction signal. During the switching process, the backup power supply Vbackup continuously supplies power to the load, avoiding the situation where the control unit 130 loses power during the switching process, which would cause the backup power supply Vbackup to shut down its output prematurely, thus improving the operating stability of the circuit.
